With others unable to open the way, Sloan defended more closely against Li Du's elusive positioning, and even if Li Du could get rid of Kirilenko, those close to him would give up their own defenders and switch to defend Li Du. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, the power of Kirilenko's defensive titan is revealed, no matter which teammate temporarily changes to defend Li Du, he can defend the vacated person, even if it is Kobe, even if it is Odom!

Li Du couldn't run out of a good opportunity, and Kobe Bryant could only cooperate with Odom and Fisher. The Lakers' triangle offense isn't the same as the original triangle offense in college.

The Lakers' triangle offensive tactic is to find the most suitable one-on-one opportunity through cooperation, or to attract the defense and create open opportunities, which requires a superstar on the team!

There is no doubt that such a tactic is a tactic that is suitable for a superstar to play all his abilities, whether it is Jordan or Kobe, it is such a superstar, so Phil has a good relationship with most superstars.

But now, Kobe Bryant is not in good shape and has lost the power to attract the bag, and the Lakers are in trouble!

Although the Lakers were able to bite the score with Kobe, Odom, and Li Du's occasional open opportunities, it was always difficult to suppress the Jazz's offense on the defensive end, and the difference between the two teams remained at 10 points until the last two minutes of the first half, and the Jazz led by 10 points at 53-43.

At this time, the Zen master finally called a long timeout, and if it went on like this, the game would be very difficult!

In the noisy sound of the audience, the Zen master shouted to all the team members: "I believe everyone feels that we need to change some practices in order to win the game!" Remember, believe in yourself and believe in your teammates! It's true that our form today is not good, this needs to be admitted, but it's not that we are not in bad shape, we can't win! ”

As he spoke, the Zen master looked at Kobe, "Kobe, I remember you once said that you are a person who judges heroes by success or failure, and you must not want to lose tonight, right?" ”

Bryant gasped for air and didn't answer. Then the Zen master said to everyone, "Next, what we need to do is to suppress the Jazz on the defensive end!" I also thought about letting Lee defend DeLong, but it was too risky to do so, and I eventually gave up. Now it seems that although Brewer has a good air cutting ability, the Jazz have a lot of offensive points and many offensive options, so he was selectively abandoned. So, Kobe Bryant and Derrick switch guards! ”

Then the Zen master said to Li Du: "Li, Kirilenko doesn't have many means of attack, and his mid-range shooting is not so stable, you can let him shoot one or two mid-range shots in a while, if he doesn't feel good at shooting tonight, you can help defend others, it's okay to let him take two steps!" ”

On the Jazz side, the cautious Sloan did not relax because he was suppressing the Lakers now, he knew Phil Jackson too well as an old rival, in his words, seemingly kind, but in fact an old fox!

Seeing that the Lakers didn't feel good overall today, and only Li Du was shooting steadily, Sloan encouraged the players to increase the intensity of physical confrontation in the game, saying: "This is our turf!" Whether it's the Lakers or any other team, let them know we're good! If you don't die, let them shed three layers of skin! ”

The timeout ended and both sides came on.

As soon as he came up, DeLong began to defend Fisher against the whole field! This change made the Zen master frown, this is a plateau, although it is only more than a thousand meters, but for the players who usually live on the beach like Los Angeles, the air is still slightly thin, and it is a great test of the players' physical strength!

Now that Delong is consuming Fisher like this, he obviously wants to quickly reduce Fisher's physical strength and make his condition worse!

Fisher, who has been in the NBA for a decade, is not afraid of such defense, and he carefully brings the ball to the front court to Kobe.

After getting the ball, Bryant didn't rush to attack. What the Zen master said just now said to his heart, he is the leader of the team, he is a winning player, he wants to lead the team to victory!

Observing the Jazz's defensive formation and looking at the slightly thin Brewer in front of him, Kobe Bryant had an idea.

He gave Li Du a look, and Li Du understood, stepped forward to cover for Kobe Bryant, and blocked Brewer.

Kirilenko followed Li Du, and when he saw Li Du and Kobe blocking and dismantling, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly prepared to change his defense.

In this game, this is the first time that Kobe and Li Du have blocked each other.

In general, pick-and-rolls with the ball occur between perimeter players and interior players, because most of the interior players are tall and strong, and it is easier to block defenders, even if they are skinny, with a pair of long legs (their feet can be separated when blocking and dismantling), they can easily block defenders.

Two outside players block and dismantle, because everyone is about the same height, the defender is easy to squeeze through, and the blocking effect is far inferior to the outside and inside blocking, so the outside blocking and dismantling is generally used for off-ball cover.

When Brewer was blocked by Li Du, he also wanted to squeeze through, but he didn't expect that Li Du at this time was like a copper pillar, standing firmly, and Brewer couldn't squeeze through it no matter how hard he tried!

Just when Brewer tried his best to squeeze past Li Du, Kobe Bryant had already staggered a position, and Kirilenko hurriedly stepped forward to block.

After Li Du blocked Brewer, he cut down in the air, and when Brewer wanted to keep up, it was too late, so he hurriedly made gestures for other teammates to make up for the defense, and he rushed to Kobe, and together with Kirilenko, he formed a bag for Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball at the top of the right arc.

As soon as Boozer saw Li Du's air cut, he immediately let go of Odom and moved two steps sideways to block Li Du's air cut line.

However, Li Du didn't really cut into the inside, when he ran halfway to the inside, he kicked the ground with both feet, and he went backwards at once, and when Boozer pounced out, Li Du had already come to the 45-degree three-point line.

The two-person package is nothing to Kobe, he has been observing the situation on this game, seeing that Li Du has run out of the vacant position, as soon as he holds the ball with both hands, he is about to pass it to Li Du, Boozer hurriedly rushed towards Li Du, wanting to break the ball!

Kobe Bryant's hands were like magic, and he suddenly changed direction in the middle and smashed Odom, who was let go by Boozer on the inside!

Odom catches the ball, turns and jumps, and quickly dunks the basketball into the hoop!

53-45, the Lakers played a perfect match through the deterrence of Kobe Bryant and Li Du on the offensive end, and once again narrowed the difference to 8 points!

The Jazz kicked off from the baseline, and Delon was just about to advance after getting the ball, and found that Kobe Bryant was following him!

Kobe Bryant leads the defense of Delon! This change made the old handsome Sloan stand up uneasily. "What exactly does Phil want to play? Why not let that Chinese kid who defends very well go to defend Delong? Sloane touched his chin and pondered the purpose of the Zen master's change.

DeLong carefully guarded the ball, and under Kobe's lead, it took him 7 seconds to bring the ball to the front court, almost violating the law in 8 seconds!

Coming to the frontcourt, Delon was confined by Kobe Bryant near the center circle. This is not to say that Kobe's defensive power is so strong, and it will be difficult for Delon to move an inch at once, if Delon wants to go head-to-head with Kobe, he may not have a chance!

It's just that as a point guard, Delon still focuses on organizing the team's offense. Moreover, he and Boozer can block anywhere, and they don't have to be near the three-point line. If you block Kobe Bryant in this place, it will be easier for Delong to get rid of Kobe!
