I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

Six Hundred and Twenty-Four. Strong Defense? Damn Him

Sun Ce's layup missed. Yi Jianlian followed in when Odom retreated and wanted to grab the rebound. Gasol retreated in time to block Yi Jianlian. Odom defended Sun Ce and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Lakers' defense is not given for nothing. They won the championship in 2009 and 2010 because of defense.

This season, the Lakers are actually stronger than last season because their rotation lineup has become stronger.

There are three players who can defend three positions on the perimeter, Kobe, Barnes, and Odom, and they are all very good at defense. There is also Artest, a former best defensive player who can defend from the second to the fourth position. Blake and Shannon Brown are also good defensive players.

In addition, Odom can also defend the inside line, and play with one of Gasol and Bynum, or just play with all three of them, and the defense is very strong.

After Odom got the rebound, he wanted to counterattack, but Sun Ce stopped him immediately. Yi Jianlian followed closely and Pau Gasol, who had just blocked him, was already out of the three-point line when Sun Ce cut in and received the ball.

When Sun Ce retreated to his own three-point line, he saw Odom chewing his mouthguard and advancing like a guard. The Lakers were very active in running at this time, not giving the Grizzlies a chance to switch defense. Sun Ce felt his scalp tingling, but he thought Odom should pass the ball, right?

If it was against Yi Jianlian, Odom would not have much power to force a breakthrough, and would be a top arc player in the triangle offense, letting his teammates cooperate.

But against Sun Ce...

Odom started to accelerate and force a breakthrough when he approached the three-point line!

Sun Ce saw a big guy with a height of 208 cm and a weight of 109 kg, a center-level point guard-level ball control rushing towards him. He probably understood how Parker felt when he met him, Sun. Sun Ce was very active in sticking to him... but was directly crushed by Odom!

Odom rushed into the inside line almost without any hindrance, and it was difficult for Gasol! He tried to step out, but was dodged by Odom with a clever back turn, and Odom smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

After Odom defended Sun Ce himself, he grabbed the defensive rebound, pushed forward, and broke through the layup in a one-stop counterattack!

10 to 9, the Lakers overtook the score!

These rounds were lively, but only two points were scored!

In the next few rounds, the situation basically did not change. The defense of both teams was too strong. At 6 minutes and 49 seconds in the first quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout and entered the official timeout.

13 to 14, the Grizzlies and the Lakers played an unusually stalemate in the first half of the quarter.

Sun Ce returned to the bench and sat down. The team had to make adjustments. Sun Ce looked at his data of 4 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first half of the quarter. Today's start was too weird.

It seems that getting 13 points in less than seven minutes is not bad, but Sun Ce did not score or assist in this half of the quarter. After Randolph helped the team get 9 points at the beginning, the team only got 4 points in the remaining three minutes, and the opponent overtook the score.

However, Sun Ce got two blocks!

Pau Gasol was blocked by Sun Ce once, and Barnes was blocked by Sun Ce once.

Sun Ce played a little hard in the defense in these few minutes. Coach Hollins was ready to replace him with Conley after entering the official timeout, and Sun Ce did not object.

Although there is a star experience card, it is a problem whether it can hold on in the first half. It is still necessary to slow down and concentrate the remaining energy in the second quarter, and then use the star experience card in the second half.

On the other hand, the Zen Master also felt that the game was very troublesome from the beginning. Kobe's singles had Randolph to match, and Odom was used as the tactical core, Kobe as the containment point, and Pau Gasol as the offensive end point. The play was contained by the rookie on the opposite side!

If it weren't for Odom's counterattack after defending Sun Ce, it would be difficult for them to overtake the score.

With Odom as the tactical core, it is easy to play against other teams. Odom's three-point shooting rate this season is as high as 38%. The top arc support can open up a lot of space. With Blake, a white point guard who shoots accurately and dares to shoot,

the Lakers can freely create opportunities to attack the basket without the ball in and outside the three-second zone.

However, their unbeatable inside pick-and-roll to create opportunities for receiving and shooting is exactly the style of play that Sun Ce is best at defending. Barnes and Gasol received the ball and shot in the inside, and Sun Ce interfered very well.

However, the Zen Master still looked calm on the surface. Seeing their head coach so calm, the Lakers players felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. Isn't it just that the opponent's defense is a little stronger! Just go after him! Who is afraid of the championship!

...

Both teams made personnel adjustments and replaced the best players on the outside.

The Grizzlies sent out Conley, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan.

On the Lakers side, this year's rotation lineup is not as bad as last season. Blake, Shannon Brown, Artest, Odom, and Bynum are on the court.

Although this is a good opportunity, the opponent Tony Allen and Battier are both resting, but the Zen Master still strictly controls Kobe's playing time. Although Kobe's physical strength is still very good, the Zen Master protects the core players very well and replaces them when necessary.

Moreover, the Grizzlies have no advantage in this lineup of the two teams.

Odom + Bynum... This inside combination is a core inside combination in any team except the Mavericks and the Grizzlies.

Bynum really wants to be in the top position, not because he wants to be the boss, but because he wants to take over Gasol's position. When he and Gasol play together, he becomes lazy if anything goes wrong. Sloth around.

But when Gasol went away, good guy, Bynum became more active in off-ball pick-and-rolls.

In fact, that year, the Lakers used him as the core of the inside, and in the first half of the 2007-08 season, they relied on his core combination with Kobe and Odom to reach the first place in the Western Conference. He averaged 28 minutes per game that season and won the NBA championship. He reached 13 points, 10 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, and 1.7 assists, and his turnover rate was extremely low, averaging only 1.3 turnovers per game. He realized his potential when he was regarded as the "next Olajuwon", and he had just turned 20 years old at the time. .

But his own knees were not up to par, like glass. He was injured just after he reached first place in the Western Conference. The Lakers were forced to ask for help from the Grizzlies and got Gasol back. If they had been prepared to form a team from the beginning, With three towers, it won’t be delayed until the middle of the season.

Bynum played against the inside combination of Jordan and Yi Jianlian. He really looked like a little shark, and he was also a little shark with pick-and-roll ability. In 5 and a half minutes, he scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, helping the Lakers play a game. Wave 12 to 10!

Bynum is sending a signal to the management: Correct the Shark's core inside position!

There is one more chapter, friends, let’s get up and read it in the morning. It’s probably almost two o’clock when Xiaofeng finishes writing.

Asking for a guaranteed monthly pass, it will be doubled in the last four days~
