Chapter 284: The Lakers' Joint Defense Tactics

It's because of the lack of a full-time defender that the Lakers tend to be blown up by opponents when they encounter strong outside players!

But it doesn't matter, even if there is such a person, it still can't affect the strength of the Lakers, they can make up for the lack of outside defense with strong offensive ability, and more importantly, they also have super strong Twin Tashak and Lamar on the inside.

With these two guys, the Lakers' interior line is no longer afraid of anyone's raids, because it is known that even if someone enters the realm of the two of them, they will soon be broken wings, not to mention that the Lakers' bench still has the old and strong Grant, the passionate Anderson and the big-hearted Robert Horry.

Now that the Lakers are all in the spot, they are about to start the final sprint with the same goal.

On June 3, 2001, Eastern time, the NBA postseason finals officially kicked off at the Lakers' home court, the Staples Center.

When the Lakers' starting five stepped onto the court, the entire audience gave them a standing ovation to welcome their hero, and this time no one shouted anything, just applauded, and the fans were showing their support for the team in this way.

"This atmosphere is really weird!" Birdman Anderson smiled heartlessly, "Looking at the expressions of the audience, it is as if we are going to read the inaugural report, isn't this too formal." ”

"Be quiet!Chris!" Shaq said with a smile: "Just look at the expressions of the Philadelphia 76ers players, in fact, our fans are putting psychological pressure on them, and this atmosphere is just right, those guys have been scared." ”

Sure enough, the Philadelphia 76ers were stunned by the strange welcome of the audience at the Staples Center arena, and when they saw everyone's serious expressions, they couldn't help but beat the drums in their hearts. Is this a game? Is it war?

Soon Lamar gave them the answer, this is a war, although it is not about life and death, but it is about honor that is more important than life.

Although Uncle Mu showed superior skills in the scrum, in the face of the basketball flying over, the AI obviously did not concentrate, or he had not yet entered the game at the beginning.

Lamar took a sideways step and got the ball in his hand before the AI did. Then, without waiting for the landing, with a wave of his big hand, he accurately handed the ball to Kobe, who had already begun to rush forward.

The Philadelphia 76ers were caught off guard, and when they reacted, Bryant and Lamar were rushing to the Philadelphia 76ers' basket one after the other.

In the face of such a good opportunity, Kobe Bryant was not greedy, he knew that he wanted to brand this game as his team from the beginning, and a powerful slam dunk was undoubtedly the best way, thinking of this, he grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it lightly on the rebound.

Lamar behind him understood, calculated where the ball bounced back and how high it was, and jumped sharply from the free throw line.

Then Lamar completed a 270-degree turn in the air, and when he faced the basket, the ball just arrived, only to see Lamar grab the basket with both hands and wave it violently in front of his chest!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a step jump inside the free throw line, a relay in the air, a 270-degree turn and a slam dunk, the name alone is enough to bluff.

Now the audience at the scene can no longer maintain any hellish serious expressions, the cause of intimidating the Philadelphia 76ers has been left behind by them, bullshit threats, and our team can win without any small means.

Those timid Phillies didn't even have the courage to resist in front of our team.

Cheer! Cheer to your heart's content! All the fans at the scene shouted like crazy, as if they wanted to get back what they had just lost.

Lamar and Kobe high-fived, and then stretched out their index fingers at Mutembo and the others at the same time, and gently hooked them.

We've already said hello, now it's your turn. I just don't know if you have enough courage!

"Damn it!"

Uncle Mu, who has always been as calm as water and pleasant-looking, couldn't help but be a little angry at the moment, which clearly showed that he was looking down on people! Thinking about it, he passed the ball to the AI in front of him, but the next scene made him completely stupid.

Lamar suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the ball from Uncle Mu fell right into his arms, followed by a backhand layup, and the ball was scored again.

Lamar hooked his finger at Mutembo again as he retreated, come again! As for how Mutembo will retaliate against himself, Lamar is not worried at all, and it is not he who is facing Uncle Mu, there is Shaq in front of him!

The Lakers gave the Philadelphia 76ers a kick-off as soon as they started, and Lamar's two consecutive offensive successes made Philadelphia 76ers veteran coach Larry Brown couldn't help but stand up, walked to the sidelines, and shouted loudly for the players to concentrate.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who have always been accustomed to slow heat, are somewhat uncomfortable with the aggressive posture shown by the Lakers at the beginning, and looking at the bright red but dazzling numbers on the electronic integrator, the 76ers players feel irritated from the heart.

Mudembo stood on the baseline, holding the basketball with both hands, as if he was afraid that Lamar would emerge from some unknown corner and snatch his ball. Mutymbo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming his mind a little.

This time the Philadelphia 76ers finally trembled and sent the ball out, but they were inexplicably pressed by the Lakers, if they encountered other teams to make this move, the Philadelphia 76ers can completely adjust the direction of the main attack, using the speed advantage of AI to tear apart the opponent's defense, but it is obvious that this move does not work for the Lakers, Kobe and Chauncey are not slower than the Philadelphia 76ers' commando at all.

The reason why the Lakers used full-court pressing as soon as they came up was completely arranged by Phil Jackson, and his idea was to give the Philadelphia 76ers enough pressure from the beginning, so that they didn't have time to grind foreign workers, and use this method to make the Philadelphia 76ers fast, and once the Philadelphia 76ers changed their rhythm of the game, then they were like fish out of water, and there was no need to be afraid at all.

AI feels that he is very uncomfortable now, his speed advantage cannot be used at all, and the connection with his teammates has been completely cut off by the Lakers' players, and it is not so easy to pass the ball now. In addition, just dealing with one Kobe Bryant is enough for him, and Chauncy next to him is also eyeing him, and it seems that he may lose the ball at any time.

Larry Brown also frowned off the court, when his team was forced to look like this, it was simply ugly! Seeing the offensive time pass by second, Larry Brown had to be forced to call a timeout, obviously the Lakers' first step was very successful.

"Well done, boys! Their manager is in a hurry. Phil Jackson greeted every player back with a smile, and the opening players performed very well, which made Phil Jackson happy.

"Let's do it next! Put them under pressure, but adjust the strategy, Kobe, Lamar! You two don't rush back to defense, as long as the Philadelphia 76ers get the ball out, you go up and force them to make mistakes, just make the Philadelphia 76ers panic, we're going to win this game, understand?"

The game restarted, and the Philadelphia 76ers were forced to replace Dedroksno with Kittels in advance, and it can be seen that the rhythm of the Philadelphia 76ers has been disrupted by the Lakers' joint defensive raid.

Larry Brown's substitution for Kittels was obvious, hoping to use his three-point and ball-handling skills to help the AI share the offensive pressure.

Phil Jackson noticed this and made a secret message to Chauncey, motioning for him to keep an eye on Kittels and not let him take advantage of it.

Chauncy nodded in response, and the moment the ball came out of the Philadelphia 76ers, he still pounced on the AI with Kobe, but he still kept a distance from one end, keeping an eye on Kittels' movements at any time.

AI really chose to pass the ball to Kittels under Kobe's tight pressing, but in a panic, his intention was too obvious. The basketball ball was still in mid-air, and the ball was held by Chaunsey first.

"Attack!"

Chauncy threw the ball at the opponent's rebound at the moment of shouting, and the Philadelphia 76ers were startled, and before they could react, they heard a loud roar behind them, and then heard it.

"Boom!"

When they turned their heads to look for their target, they saw Lamar clutching the hoop with both hands and falling on it.

It turned out that Chauncy saw Lamar running along the sideline towards the basket of the Philadelphia 76ers at the moment of successful breaking, Lamar's speed was not slow, so Chauncy passed the ball with a wave of his hand, and sure enough, Lamar did not disappoint him, and a two-handed dunk ended the fast break.

At this time, Larry Brown couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to the sideline in a few steps, and roared at the players on the court: "Cheer me up! Do you think you can win a championship with such a performance? Damn! I don't usually teach you that, Allen! Let the ball move, I don't want to see this game, the ball only spins in our half. ”

Larry Brown's rant also cleared the minds of the Philadelphia 76ers players a little, and when the ball kicked off again, the AI used the continuous short pass cooperation with Kittels to avoid the crazy steals of Kobe and Chauncey.

The ball was brought to the half, but the problem arose again, except for Mutembo, everyone else was killed by the opponent and looked like a trap.

There was no good way, the AI still passed the ball to Mutembo, and Kobe Bryant, who was opposite him, was too tight on his defense.

After Mudembo received the ball, he hit the back, and found that Shaq's defense was not very tight, which made him feel a lot more steady, settled down, and dribbled twice backwards, just when he felt that he had hit an empty space, he half-turned and jumped, and shot with a small hook, this skill he had already practiced very proficiently. Techniques like the small hook are one of the essential killer features for a traditional center like him! )
