Six Hundred and Twenty-Three. Defense Vs. Defense Part 1
The two teams played very steadily at the beginning. The Grizzlies relied on Randolph's isolation, and the Lakers relied on Kobe's isolation, both of which were very efficient.
Randolph scored 7 points and 1 point on 3 of 7 shots, and Kobe scored 6 points and 1 point on 2 of 3 shots. Miraculously, he only played 5 rounds.
9 to 8, relying on Randolph's 7 points and Sun Ce's hook around the baseline after receiving the second pass from Randolph to Gasol, the Grizzlies led by 1 point and entered the timeout.
The Lakers called a timeout. I don’t know if it was because they had won two consecutive championships or if their physical condition was recovering well. Bynum was a little drifting. He didn’t touch the ball in several attacks, so he walked on the court. Zen Master called a timeout because Bynum watched Sun Ce pick and roll without the ball, cut into the basket, catch the ball, and go around Gasol from the right side of the basket to the left side and score with a hook.
The Zen master glanced at Bynum and said nothing. Kobe was there, otherwise the Zen master would not like to see this genius center with a naughty personality.
Bynum was replaced with Odom, and Blake and Barnes replaced Fisher and Blake, replacing them with a light and agile lineup.
…
"Tony did a good job, take a rest, and continue to go up and consume Kobe later..." Coach Hollins said something to Tony Allen, and then continued: "Paul, Otspeth, you guys go up..."
Just as the opponent's Zen master expected, after the Lakers called a timeout, the Grizzlies replaced Tony Allen and Randolph and replaced them with Paul George and Yi Jianlian.
I heard that Coach Hollins seemed very satisfied with Teacher Tony who barely guarded Kobe. In these few rounds, although Kobe played well, he seemed to have to do his best for every ball. I saw Battier starting to get serious about his activities. Joints, Sun Ce understood.
Want Tony Allen to lock down Kobe? It's simply impossible. There is a big difference in playing time between the two. Just like last season's finals, Tony Allen only played 15 minutes per game, but those 15 minutes were basically concentrated at the beginning of the first quarter and the beginning of the third quarter. From the beginning, the entire 15 minutes were against Kobe.
Everyone has a clear division of labor. First use Teacher Tony to consume the few rounds where Kobe's energy is strongest, and then move on to Mr. President.
Sun Ce feels that his team's defensive routines are coming one after another!
…
…
After the timeout, Sun Ce and Paul George, Battier, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol came on the lineup.
The Lakers put on a lineup of Blake, Kobe, Barnes, Odom, and Gasol.
The fans at the scene immediately started cheering and applauding when they saw the two Gasols standing together. Brothers are facing each other!
Sun Ce followed Barnes to the corner. After Blake advanced to the frontcourt, he did not give it to Kobe. Kobe did not rely on Battier to gain position. Instead, he slipped to the baseline and pulled away the defense in the direction of the top arc.
Sun Ce has been observing the opponent's so-called "triangle offense" and wants to find a defensive method against the opponent's offense. This is Sun Ce's method that has been combined with Coach Hollins, Tony Allen, and Battier for more than a year. Defensive guidance, plus analysis methods slowly developed after using Kirilenko’s star experience cards.
However, every offensive run of the Lakers is different!
Sun Ce seems to know why Kirilenko is useless when he meets the Lakers, he can't figure it out at all!
This time, Odom raised the top arc to catch the ball. Sun Ce just saw Blake pass the ball to Odom and found that Barnes in the bottom corner started to cut in. Sun Ce immediately followed.
As soon as he reached the edge of the three-second zone, he saw Barnes going up to help Gasol in the pick-and-roll, but it was Battier who was blocked!
Just now, when Odom ran to the high post to catch the ball, Kobe and Gasol completed a pick-and-roll without the ball, and Gasol was forced to switch to Kobe!
Odom is not only talented in playing basketball, he is also eye-catching!
After Sun Ce and Battier completed the defense change, they looked at Gasol in front of them, gritted their teeth and pressed on, going around to defend!
Gasol didn't use his body to crush Sun Ce for the ball, but took advantage of Sun Ce's approach to quickly turn right and cut in from the baseline!
At this time, both Battier and Gasol were flanking Kobe, who was moving towards the free throw line of the net.
As the coordinator of the triangle attack, Odom made an accurate judgment at this moment and passed the ball to Gasol!
Gasol received the ball, got up, and laid up...
"Snapped"
Gasol's layup was slapped on the backboard by Sun Ce!
The ball hit the backboard. Sun Ce used his flexibility to grab the bounced ball and immediately counterattacked... He was hugged, and Barnes, who was just one step outside the reasonable collision area and had not had time to pull him out, reacted quickly. , a tactical foul ruined Sun Ce's counterattack.
Before the foul count came, the Lakers retreated immediately. Sun Ce threw the ball to the referee and stood one step inside the baseline waiting to serve.
Although the ball was defended, it was purely luck. It was Gasol who was too careless or Gasol's playing style was "soft" that gave him the chance.
Gasol did a very good job in using Kobe's threat and trusting Odom's pass. However, Gasol did not use his physical advantage to make physical contact with Sun Ce. Gasol's fault in this offense was The only and fatal mistake gave Sun Ce the opportunity to seize the opportunity to take off. Sun Ce took off a beat slower than Gasol and relied on the bullet speed that was much stronger than Gasol to bounce up and fan the ball. fly.
If Gasol chooses to turn around with Sun Ce on his back, Sun Ce has nothing to do.
The opponent's tactics worked so well together!
Besides, I thought it would be easier to play after Tony Allen consumed Kobe's wave, but Kobe is not stupid. Rivers dealt with him like this in the finals last season. How could he not know how the team with Tony Allen would defend him?
This is a five-time champion! The games won are higher than the total wins of the Grizzlies in team history!
Sun Ce pushed forward to the frontcourt, Barnes defended, Kobe went to follow Battier, and the mobility of the twin towers on the opposite side became higher. Sun Ce passed the ball to Gasol who was pulled to the high position, and cut in from the right with Barnes.
Barnes is very fierce. Sun Ce felt it when he played against Barnes for the first time last season. When he ran to the right side of the free throw line, Sun Ce suddenly stopped, used the technique of accelerating and changing direction, destroyed his knees and ankles, turned 180 degrees and ran towards the top arc, and circled around Gasol. Gasol patted the ball and moved his feet. While grabbing the ball, he blocked Barnes who was chasing and defending, and threw the ball behind his head.
Sun Ce just cut into the three-second zone from the left side of the free throw line, and just received a pass from Gasol, took a step and jumped, and made a layup...
Odom made up for it!
Sun Ce pulled the lever a little hastily, and the throw missed!
The Grizzlies have strong perimeter defense, and the Lakers are also very strong!
