Once the Lakers entered the playoffs, they became more focused, and they were more balanced offensively and defensively, after all, the players had been running together longer. This battle seems to be more prepared by the Warriors, but they arranged their tactics by watching the game footage of the Lakers and Nuggets, so they entered a strange circle of fixed offense and defense, and the Lakers achieved miraculous results with a slight change of play.

Both sides sent on the bench and the game went into garbage time, and there was no passion for the game.

After entering the playoffs, the lack of experience of the Warriors' young players was fully revealed, Watson, Moreau, Anthony? Randolph was like a different person, unable to provide much help to the team, and Turyaf had less playing time. The only newcomer who was not affected was Zhou Xuan.

After the game, seeing the mess of the substitutes, Zhou Xuan wiped his sweat with a towel, and his face was a little ugly.

Gasol had 25 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, and Randolph only scored 8 points and 10 rebounds in this game.

Zhou Xuan calmed down and thought a lot. If the Lakers play like this every game, even if the Warriors find their offensive touch, it will be very difficult to advance to the Finals, and they must find a way to make Lakers players make mistakes and lose their normal mind.

Bynum played 19 minutes today, had 14 points and 8 rebounds, and was only a role player despite his efficiency. Ariza is only in charge of defense, Fisher is an outside shooter, and if you want to start psychological warfare, you have to start from the two stars Gasol and Kobe.

In the regular season, Zhou Xuan provoked Kobe, if you want to make the Lakers players abnormal, the most likely problem in mentality is undoubtedly Kobe.

Today, Kobe Bryant scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals, which looks not as good as 40 points, but it is a much greater threat to the Warriors' defensive system. The ball that should be thrown was thrown, the ball that should be passed was passed, and the shooting rate was 55%. If Kobe Bryant plays like this every game, then the Lakers are simply invincible.

Compared with this kind of Kobe Bryant, who can score and assist efficiently, Zhou Xuan certainly likes the Kobe who shoots correctly in the face of the bag and shoots 30+ by himself, so even if the series averages 40+ per game, he is just a tactical destroyer of the team. After hitting the most, it is often everyone else watching from the sidelines, and at most there is a block. Randolph's defensive weaknesses will be able to make up for it.

Zhou Xuan asked Smart for the statistical table, and after reading it, he already had a rough plan, and said to old Nelson: "Coach, I have an idea, can you go to the locker room in a while?" When you go to a press conference, you need to talk about something together, and you need everyone's cooperation. ”

Old Nelson also had no intention of watching the game, and asked, "What's the idea?" ”

Zhou Xuan whispered a few words in his ear, and old Nelson nodded. "Okay, I'll see you in the locker room later."

92-112, the Warriors lost the game.

Zhang Li sighed: "Zhou Xuan played well today, scoring 18 points, 9 assists and 1 steal to beat Fisher, but the other positions of the Warriors did not play well today, especially Margeti and Randolph could not open the two points, which had a great impact on the Warriors." ”

"It's just the first game and they should be able to adjust," Yu said. ”

The Warriors players returned to the locker room. Old Nelson asked a few people to hurry out of the shower and have something to say before the reporter came in for an interview. The coach arranged it, everyone was very fast, Zhou Xuan was the first to come out, and he had a good line with old Nelson.

Old Nelson felt that this plan was feasible, although it was a bit detrimental, but it could disturb people's mentality. Interestingly, this is not yet a provocation, but a compliment. If you want the Lakers to make mistakes, this is really the easiest and most effective way.

Randolph, Jackson and others came out of the locker room, ready to be scolded, but the old Nelson said another thing, at the press conference, they wanted to make a person popular, and several people said that it was no problem.

After that, at the press conference, the Lakers were the first to speak.

Phil? In an interview, Jackson said, "Paul? Gasol plays a very important role in the triangle attacking system. He's a fit for any role in this system, and he's not just a scorer, he's a passmaker. Regardless of how the tactics are executed, Paul's role will be important. Kobe Bryant played very selflessly today, and they worked together very well. ”

The reporter asked: "Are the Lakers confident that they will advance to the Finals again?" ”

"It's too early to say how early we qualify, we're going to try to play every game," Jackson said. ”

When it comes to tactics, Jackson has publicly expressed his desire for Gasol to take more responsibility, and now he also thinks Gasol can attack more when he gets the ball.

"The Warriors have been compressing their interior defense a lot of the time, and Gasol has created open shots for his teammates, but he has often been too selfless and has to shoot when he should have shots, and he only took 13 shots this time, so I think he should have more shots."

The reporter asked: "Kobe Bryant didn't shoot much in this game, is this a tactical arrangement?" ”

"Yes. It won't affect him. "He doesn't have to chase the scoring title anymore and he doesn't have to dictate the game completely by scoring," Jackson said. He can give his teammates more opportunities when he's being trapped, and it's been a lot easier for him this year. It's a great way to play for the team. ”

When interviewing the players, Kobe Bryant also encouraged Gasol a few words, saying that he is one of the best interior players in the league, and it is a misconception that people say that he is a "soft egg".

The atmosphere was normal, and there was harmony within the Lakers. They could never have imagined what the Warriors would say in an interview.

As soon as he came up, the elder Nelson said something that surprised the reporters. "I think Gasol is the real heart of the Lakers, and as soon as he came here, the Lakers were immediately reborn from a team on the fringes of the playoffs to a strong Contender for the Finals, and we struggled to defend Gasol and couldn't find a good way to do it. We won two games in the regular season, and those two games were also because Gasol couldn't get a pass...... If the Lakers had made more shots, we would have played a little easier. ”

Just now, the "Zen Master" also said the importance of Gasol in the triangle attack, but the old Nelson said that the meaning is different.

One reporter asked, "Do you mean Gasol is the core of the Lakers?" ”

"Yes, from a tactical point of view, the core of the Lakers is undoubtedly Gasol, who can average 20+10 per game, and his ability to play better than other centers in the league. Bynum went off and Gasol actually played as a center forward, he was a great guy and he was super efficient with very few shots. With his shooting percentage, if he shoots more, he could score about 25 points, and we haven't been able to 'slash the shark' against him, and his free throws are very solid. In the triangle offense, I think he's more useful than O'Neal was when the Lakers won three in a row. His style of play is on the soft side and he doesn't play the low post much, which makes him underrated. But he is indeed an inside superstar. ”

A Los Angeles reporter didn't believe that and asked, "You're not trying to say that Gasol is better than O'Neal, are you?" How is this possible? ”

"Of course not." "As Coach Jackson said, Gasol plays the role of the axis in the triangle attack, and his tactics make a lot of sense. If it is one-on-one, Gasol is definitely not as good as the peak O'Neal. As we all know, the league had nothing to do with Shackle at that time, so the Lakers were able to win three consecutive championships. However, the Lakers are not alone in the interior now. Odom and Bynum are also very strong. Our interior is not bad, but it is still far from the Lakers' most luxurious interior combination. The three of them rotated on the court inside, and they were all able to shoot from the floor, which was more terrifying than the Lakers who had the peak Shackle. Next, we can only find more flaws from the outside, after all, their outside line has obvious weaknesses both offensively and defensively. ”

With Fisher, of course there are weaknesses, and you don't blame me for hearing the difference. Old Nelson thought to himself: This kid (Zhou Xuan)'s idea is really too poisonous, so he said it, on the surface, he was praising Gasol, and Kobe Bryant couldn't be angry when he heard it?

In addition to surpassing Jordan, Kobe's goal is to prove that he can win the championship without O'Neal. It's good now, not only did I not lead the team to win the championship independently, but I hugged thicker thighs. Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang. Odom, Bynum, and Gasol can't withstand O'Neal, who can't make free throws? It's not a lie to say that the Lakers are the strongest in the league, and most people will agree with it.

And that's not all, Stephen? What Jackson said was the one who was heart-wrenching.

When asked about the alignment with Kobe, Jackson said, "I don't think I've been blown up. Gasol attracted the defense, it was hard to limit one-on-one, I had to go to the defense at any time, and that's when the Lakers passed the ball and Kobe Bryant got a lot of easy shots. I got 20+4+4 last season, as long as I have the ball and the number of shots is guaranteed, it's very easy to get good statistics. Kobe Bryant is a strong scorer, but I'm not afraid of his kind of player. It's just that we can't guard against Gasol, the tactical core of the Lakers, and our series will be very difficult. ”

Marion's interview was the same thing. 'Gasol is very strong, if there is no one to help him defend, he will score more points, and we have to find a way to limit him in the next game, and we will not hesitate to shoot from the outside like we did today.'

"I think Gasol is a strong opponent on par with Duncan and Garnett, but I'll try to find a way to stop him and as long as he passes, we'll have a chance of winning," Randolph said. The coach kept emphasizing this before the game, but unfortunately I didn't do a good job, and I am responsible for the loss. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's not just offense, the Lakers' interior defense is also a headache, they have two big men, a big forward Odom who can organize offense at the top of the arc, because the interior line is too strong, Bynum can only play less than 20 minutes, if you go to other teams, Bynum must be the absolute main force, and I will be happy to feed such a strong interior line." The two big guys are standing under the basket, and they are quick to change defenses, so we have to try to play on the perimeter in the next game. ”

The reporter asked: "Your stats have overwhelmed the Lakers' two guards, will you be the core of the offense?" ”

"It's hard to say, it depends on the coach's arrangement. As long as I don't block and let me misplace Gasol after the pick-and-roll. Zhou Xuan didn't forget to say this after that.

He laughed in his heart: Gasol, the league owes you a regular season MVP.
