Chapter 845: The First Battle After All-Star (3)
While Popovich was laying out his tactics, the Lakers' side and everyone were also around Scott. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Scott glanced at Popovich, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, then clapped his hands, called the players over, and said, "Ryan Kelly, Brandon Bass, Nick Young, Marcelo Hurtas, Luis Williams, wait for a few of you." ”
"Yes. Several people said in unison.
"Williams. Scott looked at Louis Williams, "From today on, you're the only core of this squad. ”
"Me?" Williams froze.
The others were also taken aback and looked at Williams.
In the past, this second team had no core, and the offensive end was mainly Williams, Nick Young, and Buss, but it all depended on the situation, and whoever had a good opportunity would play.
Of course, it's not that this second squad doesn't have tactics.
In fact, Scott has long formulated several tactics for this second team, but he has not been clear about the core, and several sets of tactics are also very different, for example, this set of tactics is based on Nick Young as the offensive focus, then the other set of tactics may be Williams as the offensive focus.
So all along, the Lakers' second team has played almost all passion balls, whoever is in good shape today will be the main player, and if they are in good shape, they can play a good game.
But because there is no fixed conventional tactic, there is no core, so when there are problems and the offense is frustrated, it often becomes a mess.
This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult to make a difference when the second team of the Lakers is encountered, and it will lose to the opponent every time.
"Yes, it's you, and from today onwards, you're the only core of this second squad. "Actually, I realized a long time ago that we had to have a core in our second squad. ”
"There's a core, and at some critical moments, when we meet strong teams, we can be targeted and focused to deal with them, rather than playing randomly. ”
"Before All-Star Weekend, I knew we couldn't go on like this, we had to get a second team core. Scott said.
Everyone nodded secretly.
It's a problem, and they've been aware of it for a long time, but if the coach doesn't say it, they can't say anything.
However, Williams was still surprised, pointing to himself and asking, "Coach, why me?"
"Because you're the best. Chen Feng interjected with a smile.
"Hmm. Scott nodded and said, "Chen is right, the reason why I chose you is because you are the most suitable to be this core." Seeing that Williams was still a little confused, Scott smiled slightly and explained: "In this second lineup, Williams, you, as well as Buss and Nick Young, you are the focus of the offense. Neither Bass nor Nick Young have been in inconsistent form. ”
"It's just you, you're more consistent, you're still a defender, you're an attacker, you're more aware of the situation on the pitch and you're more able to control the rhythm of the attack. "So, I think you're best suited to be the sole core of this second team." ”
Williams' heart was shocked, and his expression became solemn.
He looked at Scott, Chen Feng, Kobe, and then at Nick Young, Blanton Bass and others, opened his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, Nick Young said: "Man, do a good job, I also think you are more suitable." Don't look at me, you know me, you can break out once in a while, it's okay to be a helper, but let me be the core, I can't do it. ”
Brandon Bass also said: "Williams, we all believe in you. ”
Even Nick Young and Brandon Bass said so, and Williams stopped being hypocritical, nodded heavily at everyone, and looked at Scott: "Coach, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”
"Well, do a good job, we all believe in you. Scott laughed, spreading out the tactical board, "Now, I'll lay out the tactical ......"
The weakness of the second team has always been a problem for Scott and a stubborn problem for the Lakers, although it may not be effective now, but at least the core has been established, and it should be better offensively. As for how much better it can be, it depends on Williams' performance.
......
"Toot ......"
The whistle blew and the second quarter began.
Williams, Yang Shaoxia, Bass, Kelly, and Hultas walked onto the court, Chen Feng and Kobe Bryant sat on the sidelines, and Kobe Bryant said, "Do you think he can do it?"
"You mean Williams?" Chen Feng asked.
"Hmm. Bryant nodded.
Chen Feng thought for a while, spread his hands and said: "This is really hard to say, if you want to talk about ability, Williams is not necessarily worse than Clarkson, and it is no problem to play as a starter." The reason why he was in the second team was just a tactical arrangement, after all, he was last year's Sixth Man of the Year winner. I think if he wants to do well, there should be no problem. Just worried about whether he would be able to adapt so quickly. ”
Kobe nodded, and glanced at Chen Feng with some surprise, he didn't expect Chen Feng to see it so thoroughly, and said with a smile: "What you said is right, whether it will work or not, it still depends on Williams himself, ability is not a problem, the problem is his mentality, and adaptability." ”
The two said that the game had begun.
The Lakers attacked, Williams advanced with the ball, crossed the halfway line and made a block with Kelly, and then passed to Brandon Buss, Buss took the ball and dummered, suddenly changed direction, and made a pull-up jump shot.
It's a pity that the ball was a little harder and didn't go in.
The ball fell into the hands of the Spurs, they began to launch a counterattack, the speed was fast, and in a blink of an eye it was the Lakers half, the ball was given to Ginobili, he took the ball and made a feint, Huertas was not fooled, Ginobili did not care, he dribbled to the side, shook his hand suddenly, and passed the ball to the ground.
"Oops. ”
"Be careful to run back. ”
"Leaked. ”
In an instant, Kevin Martin ran back, and the ball just arrived, at this time, because of the transfer of Spurs personnel, the Lakers were empty inside, Martin jumped up with the ball, and scored an easy layup.
In terms of the configuration of the second lineup, the Spurs are indeed stronger, Kyle Anderson, David West, Kevin Martin, Manu Ginobili, Patty Mills, several people are not bad, coupled with rigorous tactics and tough defense, put a lot of pressure on the Lakers.
Two minutes into the second quarter, under the defense of the Spurs, the Lakers didn't score a point.
On the defensive end, the Lakers were also unable to limit the Spurs' offense, and the Spurs played a wave of 6:0 small climax, chasing the difference to only 1 point in one fell swoop.
It goes without saying that in this second-team competition, the Lakers have obviously fallen behind, and if it goes on like this, it is not strange that the score will be caught up and overtaken.
