Chapter 517 [Rigid Employing People, Slaughtering Again]

In the second quarter, the two sides started a run-and-bomb battle, and you come and go. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lakers five: Mo Williams, Hojborg, Ariza, Dio, Odom.

Suns Five: Barbosa, Jim Jackson, Hill, Walter McCarty, Hunter.

However, the Suns failed to chase the point difference, and when D'Antoni sent the starters, the Lakers could continue to use the bench to maneuver, and the three continued to play, but Kobe Bryant and Iguodala replaced Ariza and Hojberg to strengthen the defense.

In the second half, Yao Ming was not there, and it was much better to change the defense and dismantle and defend the fast attack.

Although the Suns' small-ball lineup is fast to defend, it is more difficult to defend against the Lakers' offense, because the Lakers have Kobe's heads-up strength, and the combination of sudden points and shots is very perfect. In the fast break, the Suns couldn't wrap Kobe, and the other four were also fast, and Odom could all go fast.

The Lakers led 67-53 into the second half.

Yao Ming, Rashid, and Jones, who had rested for a full quarter, returned to the court, Kobe Bryant continued to play with invincible physical strength, and the scoring guard was Hojborg.

This lineup has everything from three-point shooting, strong offense, and breakthrough, but the Suns still have to rely on running and bombing, once the speed slows down, the offensive efficiency drops, and it is difficult for them to enter the restricted area under the defense of Yao Ming and Rashid. One big man is out and the other is near the penalty area, so interference is guaranteed.

Marion and Hill had inconsistent three-point shots, and veteran Jim Jackson was accurate with three-pointers, and his defense was a little worse.

D'Antoni's solution is the same as last season, that is, to use the main force, and the whole team is mainly rotated with seven people, and Hunter and three-point power forward McCarty are afraid to replace them.

Nash is a super guard, always finding an open position to assist teammates, and his shooting percentage is also very high, suppressing Mo Williams and Jones. But Nash can only attack, the defensive end is a weakness, and when teammates have less stamina and defensive intensity, the Suns can't.

In the second half of the final quarter, O'Neal Jr., who lacked a substitute, became a floor stream and couldn't jump. He also played a long time in the first seven games, so he had a day off and didn't get back to his best.

Yang Rui arranged for the players to hang the ball to a low position again and again for Yao Mingqiang to play, Yao Ming controlled the playing time, only played 20 minutes in the third quarter, and played easily in the final quarter.

Yao Ming, who is full of physical strength, is an offensive killer, even if little O'Neal is full of physical strength, it is difficult to defend alone, not to mention that he is not energetic now? He played the full 43 minutes and was still a cameo centre-forward.

In this quarter, Yao Ming shot 7 of 9 and 4 of 4 free throws, got 18 points and 4 rebounds, and he was replaced two minutes early, and the game went into garbage time.

Yao Ming shot 15-of-21 from the field and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, finishing with 36 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Bryant had 31 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal, and his shooting percentage also reached 50%.

The Lakers won 133-106 and easily got the series off to a good start.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Yao Ming's performance in the last quarter is very good, now those who say that he is afraid of running and bombing, and it will be a weakness against the Sun can shut up, Yang Rui has a way to give full play to Yao Ming's advantages and reasonably distribute his physical strength." ”

Yu Jia said: "Judging from today's game, I think it is not difficult for the Lakers to eliminate the Suns, whether they can win the championship this year mainly depends on the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs' poor regular season record is because Duncan and Malone have both missed some games, and their strength is also very strong, and the lineup is not inferior to the Lakers." ”

After the game, the media clichéd, saying that D'Antoni was too rigid in employing people, there were too few players in rotation, and 7 people in rotation played the opponent's 10-man rotation, and his physical strength would definitely suffer.

D'Antoni defended himself: "We were down by a lot of points in the first quarter, what do you want me to do? Replace Nash and O'Neal Jr.? Everyone has seen how strong the Lakers' offense is. Rationally distribute the players' stamina and the Suns play better This is just a hypothetical statement, and it doesn't make much sense. ”

In addition, D'Antoni also said that his lack of a chance to play for other players means they are not good enough.

Yang Rui was interviewed and said with a smile: "I don't think the Suns' loss is due to bad rotation, the Suns have a good lineup, but the Lakers' stars are better." If Mike had been on the bench, they would have lost even more. If Hunter is the main center of the Suns, if Yao Ming can't get an average of 40+10 per game in the series, I think he will be embarrassed to say hello to his teammates. ”

On the surface, Yang Rui is excusing D'Antoni's way of employing people, but in fact, he is pitting the Suns and not taking rotation, and O'Neal Jr. is tired to death in this series.

The Suns have three starters who play an average of more than 40 minutes per game, Hill and Bale both play more than 35 minutes, and Barbossa, the "Brazilian Lightning" who plays very distinctively, only plays 10 minutes per game, which is much shorter than the regular season. D'Antoni's employment is really problematic.

The next day, Los Angeles fans continued to dominate the network, and if someone said something bad about the Lakers, they would form a group to refute it.

Black Yao name? Take a look at Yao Ming's playoff efficiency, playing more than 30 minutes and easily 20+10.

Black Kobe? Is it possible to win the scoring title for three consecutive years?

Lakers fans still have a civil war going on. Some Chinese fans said that Kobe Bryant's ability to lead the team was very poor, and it was the inner thighs of Yao Ming, Rashid, and Odom that he played the current results. Comi defended Kobe's position as the boss, saying that Yao Ming became stronger because he came to Kobe's side.

People's ambitions can grow at any time, and even if the players don't compete for the top spot, fans want their idols to be more perfect.

is still Yang Rui's most enjoyable fan, and his black fans are also the least. Anyone who hacks him in the basketball field will be regarded as a psychopath, and if he wants to be black, he can only be black, he has a peculiar taste and likes big fat people......

The second battle continued in Los Angeles.

D'Antoni made a change at the start, starting Jim Jackson, who is good at shooting three-pointers, and Hill came off the bench. In this way, the positional battle can open up more space, and the defender can mark man, so that Bale can continue to defend Kobe.

Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming cooperated more and more tacitly, broke through after blocking and dismantling, resolutely walked to O'Neal's side, and then looked for an opportunity to pass the ball to Yao Ming. If you can't pass it directly, find Rashid on the periphery and let him pass inside.

O'Neal Jr. defends Kobe, and on the periphery is Marion and Rashid, who are half a head shorter, can prevent breakthroughs, interfere with shooting, and can't stop passing. In addition to O'Neal Jr., the other four players of the Suns faced Yao Ming and couldn't stop him from making a move.

Yao Ming doesn't have much work to do, cover, catch the ball with his back down, turn around, and hook his hand. In the face of little O'Neal, he will shake his shoulders and make feints, and the others even save feints and rely on their height to crush them.

Hill didn't take advantage of the bench either. What frustrated him the most was that it wasn't Kobe or Iguodala who was making him less effective in the main defense, but Ariza a rookie in the second round.

Ariza's three points this season are basically relied on, the scoring is fast-breaking, and the only ability close to Yang Rui's previous life is defense, he is fast, tall, and outstanding, and the defensive frame offense is very good.

If it was Hill in his prime, he would definitely be able to clean up Ariza one-on-one, but after many injuries, Hill didn't dare to try to change direction in a wide range of runs and force a breakthrough to hurt his knee.

Yao Ming rested for another whole quarter, and when he came back in the second half, the opponent couldn't bear it, and the score difference widened.

Entering garbage time in the second half of the final quarter, Yang Rui came up with a new trick and sent a lineup of five swingmen, Dio, Ariza, Iguodala, Wharton, Odom, I can't see who is the point guard, who is the center, and all kinds of misalignments on the court.

Best of all, all four of them, with the exception of Ariza, have a good sense of passing and can get the ball into the right place.

The Suns also sent a bench, but they couldn't withstand the Lakers' offense and were slaughtered again.
