Harris opened his mouth.

"Kobe, what do you think of New York's offensive and defensive arrangements?"

Kirtlambis was dumbfounded, and he had a premonition that he was about to lose his job and his assistant coach position was going to be snatched away. Coach, why don't you ask me? I'm the assistant coach.

Bryant was thinking about this just now. What are New York's strengths and weaknesses? First of all, we must understand this point before we can target the tactical arrangement of New York.

The starting lineup for the New York Knicks is PG Chris Childs, SG Alan Houston, SF Larry Johnson, PF Charles Oakley, C Patrick Ewing.

They have All-Star level mid-range mid-range champion Alan Houston, top offensive and defensive forward Larry Johnson, top blue-collar players, former Michael Jordan's chief striker Charles Oakley, and four centers Gorilla Ewing.

There is no doubt that all four players are above the level line and are not easy to target.

With such a list, New York's weakness is obvious - point guard! Or the initiator of the attack with the ball!

The Knicks' starting point guard, Chris Childs, is a 1.91-meter undrafted pick! At the age of 30, this season is actually his third season in the league! He only played in the league at the age of 27, and his average data this season is 31.9 minutes per game, 9.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.9 turnovers.

As a starting point guard, his stats rank last among 29 league teams, as does his ability. I'm afraid there are few teams whose starting point guard is weaker than him, and his existence is an insult to the term starting point guard in American professional basketball. His role on the court is to dribble the ball across the half court, then hand it to Ewing, and then step in and stand aside, and only need to shoot some set shots on the offensive end, so that his shooting percentage is only 41.4%, and on the defensive end, his defense of the small point guard is okay, but it is not excellent, at most he scores a passing point.

His physical fitness and ability to hold the ball are very ordinary, the kind that grabs a lot of them in the American professional basketball. The reason why he was able to play the starting line was because the Knicks also had a super sixth man on the bench, John Starks! John Starks had a very bad chemistry with Alan Houston, so Van Gundy put him on the bench. Staggering the playing time of the two allowed Starks to shine on the bench.

Van Gundy didn't expect a tentative move, but instead had an unexpected gain. After this adjustment, the team came alive in an instant, the scoring problem of the bench was solved, and the problem of the distribution of the ball to the starters was also solved.

Starks, who is the sixth man this season, has a second spring, averaging 13.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, which is better than when he started last year! As a strong contender for this season's Sixth Man of the Year, Starks' performance on the bench has been eye-catching, and as the season progresses, Starks, who is becoming more and more comfortable with the role of sixth man, is also playing better.

And that hasn't changed the fact that New York has always lacked an offensive initiator!

Whether it's their big brother Patrick Ewing, or the mid-pitcher Alan Houston, or the big mom, or the sixth Starks. None of them are good at advancing with the ball and organising attacks! Maybe they can make an occasional cameo, but that's not their main job! Their ability in this area is not excellent.

Such an obvious loophole is also the reason why the New York Knicks, who are full of stars this season and have a roster that is not inferior to any other team, have a relatively average record so far. They don't even have a person who can hold the ball and output steadily! There are many stars, but they are scattered, and they rely more on tough defense to win games than on the stars to play spectacular attacks.

There is always only one offensive tactic in New York! TAKE PATRICK EWING IN THE CORE OF THE IN-OUT TACTICS. There's no need to have a guard with the ball, everyone is interspersed with runs, waiting for Ewing to attack in the low post, or catch the ball and shoot the breakthrough in the second time.

Finding this loophole, Bryant instantly knew the way to target New York.

Are you blocking my inside line?

Then I'll block your outside line!

The audience is pressing! Infinite bites! Make it difficult for you to pass the half, so that your scorer can't catch the ball at all!

This Knicks may be weaker than the Cavaliers' ability to resist full-court pressing. The Cavaliers have at least one All-Star caliber point guard, while the Knicks don't have a reliable point guard at all. How? How is it organized? The previous method was to dribble the ball past half court and hand it to Ewing, which minimized the dependence on point guards, but what if it was blocked to the point where you couldn't even dribble the ball across half court?

No matter how big your penalty area advantage is, what's the use? Those who get the inside line win the world, this false proposition, it's time to tell you that it's wrong.

Without a good defender, no matter how strong the inside line is, if you can't catch the ball, it's for nothing!

"Coach, I've figured it out!" The corners of Kobe's mouth lifted slightly, and he told his coach and teammates about his method.

。。。。。。

"The Lakers players are back on the court again, the Silver Fox Harris has not made personnel changes, and Ben Wallace, who is not in good shape, and Campbell, who was blown up by Ewing, he has not been replaced!"

"It seems that Harris is unwilling to adjust the rotation of players, but pins his hopes on the self-awakening of the players, so I hope that the Lakers' players can quickly find their form in the Great Western Forum Arena!"

"The Lakers have the ball, Kobe Bryant seems to be at ease in the face of Big Mom's defense, Larry Johnson's power crushes Kobe, but he seems to be powerless against Kobe's dribbling rhythm! Kobe Bryant shook continuously, clicked on Larry Johnson's defense and hit the three-point line! ”

"Larry Johnson has a foul! He didn't dare to get started! Kobe Bryant accelerated in a straight line and hit the middle distance! ”

"Charles Oakley assists in defense! In front of the burly Charles, Kobe Bryant was thin like a child! Oakley rushed over! Pass the ball! Kobe Bryant didn't come hard, jumped, and smashed the ball into the penalty area with both hands! ”

"Who is it? Who's in the restricted area! ”

"The basketball hit Ben Wallace's chest in the box! He stood still, holding the ball with both hands, and tried to make a layup! Ewing catches up and fans Ben Wallace's layup out of the court! ”

"It's a pity, he obviously has a very good time to complete the attack, and today's big Ben is a little out of shape. Although Ben Wallace's scoring ability under the basket is not very strong, there will be no such obvious hesitation. ”

"What is he worried about? Afraid of what? ”

Bryant was expressionless, walked over and patted Big Ben on the back.

“I GOT U BACK.” I am always behind you and I have your back.

Ben Wallace hung his head, although he knew he shouldn't have done it well, and the performance in this game was undoubtedly hurting the team. Faced with his childhood idol, his benefactor Oakley, he was always a little at a loss. Bryant's encouragement made him very conflicted, as a single-celled creature, Big Ben's brain was a little out of work. He didn't want his benefactor to get hurt, and he didn't want to let his team down.

"I'm sorry, boss."

"You know what? The best respect for a player is to give it your all to beat him. After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, he was ready to serve, and Ewing fanned out of bounds, so it was the Lakers' frontcourt ball.

"Boy, you have to listen to your boss, although he is also a hairy guy, he is right." Ewing nodded, Kobe's words really had an appetite for an old-school player like them. None of the players of their generation have come to prominence by beating their predecessors. In all walks of life, the best respect is to give it your all. It's athletic! There is no humility in competition, and your humility is the biggest insult to the other party!

Although it is an opponent, Ewing also praised Kobe's words. Although Ewing is fierce and vicious, he is actually a very gentle person at heart, and he likes to teach the younger generation of the league, which led him to gradually become an assistant coach, whose main responsibility is to develop young players. It's not a role that everyone can play. Ewing is a gentle and patient person at heart, so he can do well in this position. Yao Ming, Howard and other players have been taught by Ewing.

Give it your all till death. That's what your opponents want to see. This is the spirit of competition, there is no humility in basketball competition! Your enthusiasm is the greatest recognition of the other party.

"I see." Ben Wallace's pupils constricted, and he knew what to do.

"The Lakers serve, Kobe Bryant's S-shaped run, bypassing Big Mom Larry Johnson! Larry Johnson shows off his clumsiness in front of Kobe! ”

"Campbell's high cover allowed Kobe Bryant to receive the ball!"

"Shoot to the basket! Oakleigh bag clip! Touching the same encounter, this ball is exactly the same as the previous one, Kobe Bryant will choose to shoot or pass! ”

"Kobe Bryant jumped high and shoved the ball straight into the basket with both hands like a cannonball again!"

"Ben Wallace! Catch! No hesitation this time! Pull onions on dry land! ”

"Ewing doesn't have time to make up for it! Sit back and watch Ben Wallace dunk and score! ”

“11：6！”

"Oh my God! The Lakers sacrificed the whole court! The Lakers used full-court pressing against the top powerhouse Knicks! ”

"Kobe Bryant and Eddie move sideways in a row! Alan Houston, who served the sideline, struggled to pass the ball to Chris Childs! Kobe Bryant pressed Chris Childs with his chest and reached out for a steal! ”

"It's broken! Kobe Bryant passes Eddie Jones, Eddie Jones is on standby in the corner! 3 Hit! ”

“11：9！”

"Isn't there even a way for the Knicks to fix the Lakers' pressing tactics? It's horrible! The Lakers' guard group is too strong defensively! ”

"Ewing passes the ball to Larry Johnson, and Big Mom wants to use her strength to force Bowen!"

"It's poured! Auntie fell inexplicably! What's the situation? Someone got under the black feet? ”

Bowen picked up the basketball that slipped and dribbled forward! Hit inside the three-point line and throw the ball high! ”

Ben Wallace shook off Charles Oakley, rushed to the basket in excitement, jumped high, and caught the dunk with both hands!"

“11：11！”

"The Lakers used their outside pressing tactics to crack the Knicks' restricted area advantage!"

"Outside Blockade VS Inside Blockade! Lakers tie the score! ”
