Chapter 567 A Series of Three or a Series of Five?
In the third quarter of the second half, the Jazz trailed by 18 points.
Although they saw Li Shengli sitting on the bench to rest, the problem is that it doesn't matter if Li Shengli is there or not, because the Jazz can't suppress Kobe's firepower.
Harris was very happy. Jerry Sloan's face remained cold during the halftime break. As soon as the second half started, you could see the arrangements of the coaches of both sides. All the focus was on the Lakers' offense and the Jazz's defense.
…
Kobe stood at the top of the arc, Crotty and Horry went down to the left and right corners respectively.
As for Campbell and Ben, originally Ben was suitable as a center, but considering Ben's restraint effect on Malone, Campbell directly took over the center position. After all, a player with an annual salary of 7 million, the second highest salary in the Lakers, cannot suppress Greg. Not bad, but more importantly, the tasks at the center position are very simple, basically on the defensive end and rebounding.
Therefore, in addition to Crotty and Horry, the positioning of Ben and Campbell is that one is on the left edge of the penalty area and the other is wandering on the right side of the penalty area. It is guaranteed to be based on the top of the arc where Kobe is and the central axis of the court. Both sides are There are two teammates, and to be honest, this position is the Bulls' triangle offensive system.
There is nothing coincidental about tactics. The difficulty is that it is difficult to find players that fit the tactical system. The same goes for the triangle offense. It is definitely not impossible to replicate. The most important thing is the singles ability of the players at the top of the arc.
Obviously, Kobe is on par with Jordan in this game.
The triangle offense launched by the Lakers, even if it lacks running-in, as long as it is executed properly, nothing will be a problem. The real pressure is on Kobe who needs to play in isolation. As long as Kobe attracts double teams, other positions will be freed up to release firepower. , even players with offensive shortcomings and open shots will not be too bad.
As for whether it will affect Kobe's data? The answer is no.
Because if you let Kobe beat the Jazz alone, the Jazz will definitely focus on defending him. Therefore, Kobe will be targeted no matter whether he uses this immature triangle system or not. The only way is to amplify his singles ability and use players in other positions to threaten the Jazz basket. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of "saving the country through curves" and make Kobe Bryant less pressure to be defended.
Li Shengli wants Kobe to take the lead tonight!
Harris was naturally happy to see this situation, so he came up with this idea. On the one hand, it gave Li Shengli time to rest, and on the other hand, he also started to try the Lakers' second core style of play around Kobe to prepare for future games. tactics to add more variability.
In other words, the Lakers can have two sets of main tactics.
However, the core of these two main tactics relies on the singles ability of Li Shengli and Kobe to attract double teams. If this game and quarter, the second set of tactics with Kobe as the core proves its feasibility, then... ...two sets of tactics can be combined into one.
Li Shengli's offensive power when catching the ball at the basket shocked the entire league. The opportunities Kobe got were unparalleled.
Kobe received the ball at the top of the arc, and the opponent was unable to defend alone. Once the defensive formation was in chaos, Li Shengli once again increased his offensive power. Although he was basically crushing non-core opponents in the paint, he still had to consider when playing against core teams. When Li Shengli was in poor condition.
This is double insurance for the Lakers! !
Coupled with Ben and Crotty, two low-paid, high-powered players who specialize in defense at this stage, the Lakers seem to be starting another peak of dominance following the previous show time era.
Although at present, Li Shengli's help to Kobe is greater than that of Kobe to Li Shengli, the good news is that Kobe's growth rate is amazing, and this moment is...acceptance time.
…
Lakers offense.
Kobe was one-on-one with Stockton, and after a tentative step, he directly chose to pull up. Stockton's body was a bit unbalanced at this moment. He first went backward, then forward, and jumped forward to block the shot. But this time... not only Let Kobe score one with a pull-up, but let Kobe get a foul and score 3 points with a 2+1.
Kobe Bryant personally sprinted to 45 points!
…
The second Lakers offense.
Stockton's face turned dark, and he glanced at Malone and Greg before attacking Kobe.
Different from before, this time, Stockton left no room and stayed close to Kobe. Although it was easy to be penetrated at close range, the 18-year-old Kobe must not be allowed to shoot now. Assuming that he was indeed penetrated, Malone and Malone Greg can also defend him from behind, and this is the best single defense method he can think of.
So in this round, it was difficult for Kobe to perform his best. After using his back to protect the ball and deceiving Stockton with a fake move, he smoothly squeezed forward a few steps, made a sudden jump shot, and scored another goal. .
…
The third Lakers offense.
The first two times were Kobe's singles. Stockton never expected that as a first-defense player, he could not suppress Kobe, a young kid, and he was not a grudge at all. In addition, Jerry Sloan I was told how to handle this situation in advance, so I called on Hornacek and sent an outside double-team.
"Fuck it, Jeff, fuck him!"
"Come on, you little brat, don't think about getting arrogant on us!!"
The two roared and blocked Kobe's position at the top of the arc. At this time, he couldn't even shoot even if he wanted to. Kobe's face darkened, and he directly handed the ball to Crotty, who came to support him, and reorganized an attack.
But... the same thing happened again. Kobe was entangled by Stockton and Hornacek again, and the result was passed out again. The Jazz defense immediately scattered, the Lakers offense failed again, and Li Shengli was present. While watching, I felt a headache. I rounded the towel in my hand and used a human-shaped propeller, yelling at the field.
"Kobe, be brave!"
"Don't be afraid, it's just two people, let's fight!"
"Damn it, I'm here, no one dares to do anything to you, go ahead, Akko!"
Because he was sitting next to Harris, Harris was whipped with a big towel and his hair was messed up. He immediately cursed: "Damn, Lee, don't get messed up. The triangle offense has double teams and must pass the ball. Kobe did the right thing." , the problem is that we have fewer attacking points.”
"You also know that there are few offensive points?" Li Shengli didn't even look at Harris, waving the towel and yelled again,
"Kobe, charge up, hit them!"
…
Listening to Li Shengli waving the flag, Malone and Stockton jumped in anger, but Kobe suddenly became excited. After being double-teamed and touched by Stockton and Hornacek again, he no longer Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, I used my feet to push off, took off, and threw the ball with four hands and two heads on my head.
Uh-huh! !
Just swipe the Internet, and the 20,000 people at Jazz's home stadium will be so angry that they will have a headache.
Can this also be entered?
Luck, it must be good luck! !
Few people in the league were sure of such a powerful interference, and everyone attributed the result to luck, but Kobe found the touch of a paranoid man at four o'clock in the morning on this rainy day.
…
"Jeff, come again!!"
"Damn, if you can still score this goal..."
Stockton called on Hornacek, and the two double-teamed him. Although Kobe didn't score, he still caused a foul on Hornacek, went to the free throw line, and directly scored two goals.
…
"John, don't call me, my horse rider...is here!"
"Damn it, I don't believe it anymore. Can't you guard against this kid?"
As soon as the two talked, Kobe stood up from the double team and took a tough shot. There was no fancy or flashy, all he pursued was efficiency. He committed another foul and went to the free throw line and made two free throws.
This seasoned criminal.
This stable tough mentality.
Is this horse riding eighteen?
This is at least sixty-eight, right?
…
Another Lakers offense.
Either a score or a foul was committed. Double-teaming between the two was no longer useful, and Stockton was also anxious now, and this time he pulled Bryan.
Triple team? !
"Kobe, fuck them. If there are two, they'll be a pair, if there are three, they'll be three in a row!" Li Shengli roared from above.
"Lee, stop yelling, you bastard!" Stockton's face turned black when he heard this, and he roared: "Jeff, Brian, come on horseback and hold him down!"
The treatment of three-person double-teaming is something that non-top super giants cannot have.
When Kobe Bryant heard Li Shengli personally cheering him up, he gritted his teeth and took advantage of the short period of time when the Jazz's perimeter defense had not yet closed up and the inside defense was empty. He took tentative steps, retreated, and advanced forward. All of his actions were fake and fake. Stoke Suddenly, Kobe rushed in, and Kobe flew up and dunked with a one-handed tomahawk.
Boom! !
There was a loud bang.
Kobe Bryant dunked successfully, and the Lakers' morale reached its peak from this moment.
…
This...is this haunted?
Are we playing against the Bulls and Jordan?
The Jazz are very familiar with this style of play. After all, if they want to rush to the championship and the finals, their imaginary enemy must be the Bulls. But the problem is that no one expected that the Lakers could have such a strong Kobe.
At this time, Utah State faced this matter seriously for the first time, and the 20,000 people at home were dissatisfied with the Jazz's defensive performance and roared hysterically...
"Up, up, up, damn, fuck him to death!"
"Don't even let him take action, yes, three people will double-team, fuck him!"
"I'm such a fool, charging in again? Malone, Greg, cover up the defense and go fuck him!"
"Holy shit, what is this bastard doing? This...he's charging Malone, switching hands and scoring a layup, and drawing a foul?"
"Damn, one...one against five?"
…
The Jazz's 20,000 fans were shouting hoarse, and Li Shengli on the sidelines was furious, because Kobe was really fierce in this round, even so fierce that it made people's hearts beat faster, but the problem was...this layup, damn, my head was about to be hit by Malone and Malone. The two of them fought incorrectly, but Greg was not a bad criminal. In fact, this head-on fighting style cannot avoid these frictions.
"Damn it, Big Ben, what are you doing?"
"Campbell, you should go and do a favor!"
As they were talking, the Jazz finally couldn't stand it anymore. Sloan called a timeout, and Li Shengli grabbed Kobe and said to Harris: "Coach, it's my turn! Kobe, get in the car and fasten your seat belt!"
