The Zen Master's lineup today is very interesting, and it stands to reason that the outside core of the Utah Jazz is Deron Williams. www.biquge.info As a defensive striker and known as a defensive perimeter player, Li Du should defend Delong. However, the Zen master arranged for Fisher to defend Delon, and Li Du was promoted to the position of small forward to defend "AK47" Kirilenko.

And in the center position, the Zen master replaced Bynum, who has been the starting center recently, and let Kwame Brown play the starting line-up against Oku. The power forward is for Odom to play against Carlos Boozer.

In this way, the Lakers' starting lineup becomes:

Point guard, Derrick Fisher.

Shooting guard, Kobe Bryant.

Small forward, Li Du.

Power forward, Ramar Odom.

Center, Kwame Brown.

This lineup has appeared many times before, but in the past, Li Du was placed in the guard position. This time, it was for him to play small forward.

According to the Zen master, Kirilenko, like Li Du, is a player who focuses on defense and shooting in open positions. If Li Du continues to stay on the guard line, it means that Kobe will have to face Kirilenko directly, although with Kobe's strength, he will not be afraid of anyone, but Kirilenko's defense will make Kobe consume a lot of physical strength, and it is particularly important to save physical strength when playing on the plateau!

On the Jazz team's side, Sloan, a veteran coach who has fought with Zen masters all his life, sent such a lineup:

Point guard, Deron Williams.

Shooting guard, Ronnie Brewer.

Small forward, Andrei Kirilenko.

Power forward, Carlos Boozer.

Center, Memet Oku.

Sloane put out such a lineup, which can be regarded as a painstaking effort. On offense, Delon can play pick-and-roll with Boozer or Oku, of course, Delon and Boozer block and pick and roll more, but Oku can pull to the perimeter to shoot after blocking and pick-and-roll, attracting the Lakers' center. The Lakers' interior barrier is only one center, either Kwame Brown or Bynum, no matter which of them is against Oku, as long as they are pulled to the outside, the Lakers' interior protection will be useless!

Kirilenko and Brewer are both extremely athletic and very smart defensively, and on the offensive end, they are more likely to use open cuts and open shots to score. The two of them are the strongest, and the most critical role is outside defense!

Whether Kobe Bryant plays a scoring guard or a small forward, he has to face the intrusion of defensive giants, which consumes a lot of Kobe's physical strength! At the same time, Sloan also noticed that Li Du's shooting percentage was terrifyingly high! Brewer and Kirilenko, just in time to deal with Kobe and Lidu!

The two NBA coaches have already started to compete in the arrangement!

During the warm-up, in the face of the tsunami-like boos of the audience at the Energy Center, even Li Du couldn't stop it! Li Du tried to use his cannon fist again, shaking the wooden floor and making a loud noise like thunder. But even such a shocking sound and momentum were overshadowed by the momentum of nearly 20,000 people in the entire energy center!

After practicing a set of Xingyi boxing, Li Du looked at Kobe Bryant and the others, shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's the first time I've seen such crazy fans!" ”

"What did you say?" Bryant asked loudly, the boos and shouts of the spectators at the Energy Center had drowned out all the sounds, and it was difficult for the players to hear each other on the field!

Li Du shook his head and said that it was nothing. Looking at Odom and Kwame Brown again, they seemed to be shocked by the momentum of the "devil's home field", one staring blankly at the ceiling, the other with his head down, and no expression at all.

The Zen master had expected this situation where it would be difficult for the players to communicate with each other, so he had already laid out the tactics with everyone in the locker room, and if there was a need to adjust the tactics on the pitch, the Zen master would gesture or whistle to remind everyone. This is also his unique tactical skill!

Before this game even started, everyone knew that it must be a battle of dragons and tigers! Therefore, this time TNT broadcast the game live in the United States, commentating on Barkley and his old partner Smith, but also invited "Magic" Johnson, and one of the symbols of the Utah Jazz, "Postman" Karl Malone.

"Utah's home stadium is still the same as before, super noisemaker!" Barkley grumbled dissatisfiedly. Among all the home games in the NBA, what he hates the most is the home court of the Utah Jazz, when he was a player, he suffered from this devil's home court, and later when he became a commentator, he also hated it here, because the shouts of the audience here were so loud that he could hardly hear what he was saying, let alone cooperate with Smith to comment!

Smith smiled helplessly, why didn't he hate this noisy home court, but as a commentator, he still needed to complete his commentary task, so he asked the two guests: "Ervin, Karl, you are all one of the strongest players in NBA history, do you think that in this game, the Lakers came with the majesty of winning all 11 games, can the Utah Jazz withstand it?" What is the key to victory for both sides? ”

Malone and the magician looked at each other, and the magician motioned for Malone to speak first, so Malone replied: "I've played in Utah for nearly 20 years, and emotionally speaking, of course I want the Jazz to win." Moreover, although the Lakers have Kobe Bryant's strong return and the wonderful performance of the magical rookie Li Duke, the Jazz are not without hope! The Lakers have maintained an undefeated record so far this season, largely because of the strong strength of Kobe Bryant and Li Du, but in the face of the Jazz, their offensive and defensive efficiency will drop sharply! As long as the Jazz kids can play to their strengths, they have a good chance of winning this game! ”

Smith nodded, and then asked "Magic" Johnson, "Erwin, what do you think?" How likely are the Jazz to stop the Lakers tonight? ”

"Magic" Johnson replied with a smile: "Actually, I don't think the Jazz have much chance!" Karl is right, the Lakers' unbeaten record so far this season is largely due to Kobe Bryant and Li Du. Don't forget, they've won a lot of strong teams before! Bryant's average for the season is 32.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.4 assists! And he hit 48.6% from the field, which is extremely efficient! ”

Looking at Malone, who was not gloomy, "Magic" Johnson continued: "Let's talk about Li Du, he is now firmly on the best rookie list, and his statistics may not be very beautiful, averaging 9.6 points, 0.6 blocks, and 0.3 steals per game. But everyone knows that Li Du's role cannot be measured by his own data, but by the data of the players who are in line with him! ”

Then, "Magic" Johnson did not hesitate to read out a large list of players who were opposite Li Du when they were defended by Li Du. That includes Nash's 4 points, 3 assists, 3 turnovers; The bearded Davis, who has a lot of physical fitness and can beat all the guards from the three-point line, only scored two points under Li Du's defense! In the second game against the SuperSonics, Li Du alone let the two leading scorers of Ray Allen and Lewis not score a point in the whole game!

After reading this string of data, "Magic" Johnson smiled: "Li Du is known as a magical rookie, but don't forget, some people call him 'the nightmare of the opposing player'!" In tonight's game, as long as Kobe Bryant and Li Du play normally, the possibility of the Lakers losing is very small! ”
