Chapter 187: The Lakers' Opening Strategy

Garnett jumped to win Bynum, and the Celtics had the first offensive possession. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Rondo dribbled to the front court and looked a little dumbfounded. The Lakers' defensive lineup is full of weirdness, and the interior is quite normal, with Bynum vs. Perkins and Gasol vs. Garnett. It's very strange on the outside, Odom defends Pierce, Li Du chases Ray Allen, and Kobe Bryant is standing in front of Rondo!

Kobe, who is known as the "closest person to God", has added tremendous pressure to Rondo, a young NBA player, all of a sudden. In the face of Kobe, Rondo seems to be a little unable to let go, Kobe Bryant used to be his idol, and he can be said to have grown up watching Kobe play. Rondo has also played against the Lakers in previous seasons and has not faced Kobe Bryant head-on.

In fact, compared to Rondo, Ray Allen is more depressed, he was chased by Li Du last season and almost had a chance to shoot, and the SuperSonics played against the Lakers in two consecutive games, which impressed Li Du with a hint of fear. After coming to the Celtics this season, the Big Three joined forces, and his pressure was much less, and he played twice in the regular season, and Li Du rarely chased him.

"It won't be that there will be no chance to make a move...... "Ray Allen silently complained for himself, but he still had a hint of joy in his heart, Li Du came to chase after him, then the others could let go and attack!

Rondo obviously wanted the same as Ray Allen, seeing that Li Du was chasing after Ray Allen, and Pierce was squeezing Odom at a 45-degree angle, and Rondo did not hesitate to pass the ball to Pierce.

Pierce received the ball, and when he was just about to beat Odom, he suddenly felt that someone was coming to help defend in the corner of his eye, and hurriedly held the ball steady.

"Kobe, you really look up to me, and you don't hesitate to wrap it up with others!" Pierce thought as he guarded the ball. Even when he was caught by Kobe and Odom, he didn't panic, but found the opportunity and passed the ball back to Rondo.

This tactic has been used by the Pistons for a long time, and everyone knows it, so Rondo quickly entered the Lakers' interior after receiving the ball, and when Bynum stepped forward to make up for the defense, he hit the ground again and passed the ball to Perkins who was waiting on the inside.

The moment Perkins just received the ball, he suddenly felt a light in his hand, and then looked at it, the basketball had been broken by Li Du, and a long pass was made to Odom, who was running at the front.

"When did he come over?" Perkins looked at Li Du in horror, and then looked at Rondo, as an excellent point guard, it is impossible for Rondo not notice Li Du when he passes!

Rondo and Perkins were equally shocked, he had already seen it when he passed, there was no one else around Perkins, when did Li Du run over? And isn't Li Du chasing Ray Alun, how dare he let go of Ray Alun?

Of the Celtics players on the floor, only Ray Allen could see it clearly. Li Du had already prepared for this break, and when Rondo broke through, Li Du had already run quickly towards Perkins. In other words, Li Du already knew that Rondo would pass the ball to Perkins! Why is that?

Looking at the Lakers who broke the ball and counterattacked at the beginning, Rivers' face was gloomy and dripping, he understood very well that Li Du's breaking speed just now was indeed fast, but it was still far from his explosive magical speed and power. In other words, this break is completely a trap for the Lakers' defense!

On the court, Lakers and Celtics players were playing against each other, and off the court, Rivers carefully thought about the Lakers' defensive strategy.

Li Du almost broke the ball again, Rivers saw the overall movement of the Lakers, his eyes suddenly lit up, he understood the Lakers' defensive strategy!

The Lakers' defense looks like a man-to-man, but it's actually taking advantage of Li Du's speed. The Lakers first let Odom, who was not good defensively, mark Pierce, so that the Celtics subconsciously felt that they had an advantage in this position, so the ball would first pass to Pierce, and then Kobe Bryant wrapped Pierce, let go of Rondo, and let Pierce pass the ball to Rondo to make a breakthrough.

Rondo is an excellent point guard who puts passing the ball first, and when he breaks through and encounters a supplement, he will pass the ball out as soon as possible. But in the inside pass, there are fewer passing options, especially fewer options that can directly form assists, the Lakers are taking advantage of this, when Rondo has few passing options, Li Du only needs to judge who he wants to pass to the most direct assist, and directly run over to break the ball.

Even if Li Du can't break the ball, he can disrupt the Celtics' offense, so as to achieve the defensive purpose!

Because the Lakers used Li Du as a defensive killer, the Celtics' offensive efficiency was very low, and they were already 6 points behind the Lakers halfway through the first quarter. Rivers hurriedly called a timeout!

Li Du and Kobe Bryant and others high-fived each other, and after half a quarter, their first defensive strategy goal had been achieved, and the Lakers also led by 6 points and mastered the opening advantage, which was a very good form for the game.

Any basketball game has a trend, and the Finals may be a little more tortuous than other games, but the principle is the same. The Lakers take the lead first, and then in the minds of the Celtics' players and coaches, they become the side that needs to chase points.

One side is chasing points, one side is to open the score, the psychology of the two sides is completely different, relatively speaking, the side chasing points after all, the score is behind, and the psychological pressure is always greater than that of the leading side. The Zen master is to use this situation to reduce the psychological pressure and tension of the Lakers' young people playing the Finals for the first time.

The Zen master knows that it is not difficult to break down the kind of ball-breaking defense that the Lakers just had, the Lakers are just catching the Celtics off guard now, the game is still very long, and it has achieved its goal to take the opening lead!

So the Zen master instructed Li Du and Kobe: "After the timeout is over, switch back to regular defense." Then he said to everyone: "Lamar, you come down and rest, and Derek is on the field." Next, we will play according to the normal tactics. Kobe Bryant strengthens the offense, Ray Allen adopts a close defense against you, you can do a high post block with Paul, or you can let Lee and Paul do off-ball covers, the details are up to you. ”

Kobe nodded, then looked back at Li Du and smiled: "Li, you don't seem to have tried your best!" This shouldn't be, be careful boss I'm angry! ”

Li Du smiled, moved his fingers, and said, "Boss, leave it to me!" ”

As soon as Kobe raised his eyelids at Gasol again, Gasol understood what Kobe meant, nodded and said, "Kobe, you let go of the attack, I understand!" ”
