Chapter 363: The Battle for the Strongest Offensive System in American Professional Basketball!! (4K)
"The Lakers change formation! Kobe Bryant, Dell Curry, Eddie Jones, Robert Hawley, Shaq O'Neal! "The magician saw the change of formation of the silver fox Harris at the end of the first quarter, and he was instantly excited!
The strongest offensive system! This lineup is the strongest offensive ability of the Lakers!
In the case of Bowen and Da himself fouling on their backs, the defense could not control the situation, and only Kobe Bryant could continue to live. Harris did not wait for the score to be pulled away, or count on Kobe Bryant to control the situation alone, but immediately changed the tactical system, from a defensive system to an offensive system in an instant!
One family, one shark, three shooters!
"Harris has been decisive in his lineup, and this roster system has only played a handful of games this season, and due to Curry's late arrival in the team, Shaq has suffered an injury after joining. I remember that after Shaq's return, this system did not appear a few times, but every time it exploded with exaggerated energy! Kobe Bryant and Shaq are a perfectly matched twin engine, and the outside three spears are projected wildly! Such a lineup system is terrible on the offensive end! "Dantley, as a top scorer, certainly understands the power of this system.
When Kobe Bryant was a single-core engine, the team's tactics were monotonous after all, just like when Big O led the team, Chamberlain led the team, and Jordan led the team in the early days. All the balls are concentrated in the hands of one person, which can be targeted. This was also proven in the game, as long as Kobe Bryant is choked, the Lakers' offense is very easy to get bogged down.
But now it's different! Shaq is back! The Lakers have twin engines! O'Neal and Horry's interior combination as a defense can only be said to be in the middle and lower reaches of the league, and Horry's strength and height make him very difficult to face a power forward like Malone.
But on the offensive end!
The combination of the big sharks and the heart is a big part of the Lakers' first triple championship!
In the last Lakers' three consecutive championships, O'Neal's interior partners were all different people, the first season was the old and strong AC Green, and at the end of his career, he and O'Neal formed a traditional twin tower to defeat the Pacers and won the championship in the 99-00 season.
In the second season, Shaq paired up with his old teammate, the Bulls' first three-game interior warrior and also a cobra Horth Grant at the end of his career. The second championship won by the 76ers led by Iverson and Mutombo.
In the third season, the Lakers' interior combination was unavailable, Robert Horry went directly to the power forward, and directly bloodied the Nets led by Kidd and Kenyon Martin 4:0!
Although Horry was not a starter in the first two seasons, he was indeed the sixth man, and every time a Zen master was replaced, the first thing that came to mind was Horry! Horry's substitute partner Shak O'Neal is also endless!
It can be said that the inside combination of Shaq O'Neal and Robert Horry is a dynasty-level inside combination! In terms of offense alone, there are only five fingers that can surpass them in history. Extreme space and interior scoring ability, a rare big forward who can shoot and break through, and the performance of Horry with a big shark with a one-handed pass is dominant!
And the Lakers' three outside lines - Kobe, Curry Sr., Eddie Jones!
It's also a combination of offensive prowes! Kobe Bryant's ball-handling offense, Curry Sr. and Eddie Jones' joint shooting! All three are the kind of top shooters who can shoot a team when their hands are hot, and there is also the historic heads-up Kobe Bryant who can create opportunities and break the deadlock!
And the combination of these five people on the Lakers' inside and outside lines has created an exaggerated offensive combination! An unsolvable offensive combo! A near-perfect offensive pairing.
This is the confidence of Harris to dare to change the formation!
Such a five-person combination, against the iron-blooded blocking and dismantling system of the Jazz! The same tactical system that has played all over the American professional basketball team and has been imitated by countless team coaches.
If you follow the previous script, although Bowen and Big Ben's defense is amazing, the Lakers' fragmented offense is not as good as the overall system of the Jazz. Malone and Stockton have already brought the rhythm up, and the Lakers are a two-man twist of Kobe Bryant and Eddie Jones.
Harris has never been a coach who likes to get beaten! By Kobe's side, he feels that he is becoming more and more passionate, since the situation is passive, then change the formation!
Lakers One Division, One Shark, Three Shots System VS Utah Two Old Blocking and Demolition System!
Historic Offensive System VS Historic Offensive System!
"It's too strong!" Watching the Lakers' offensive performance of the first shot, the Magic sat up directly from the stool in the studio, ripped off his tie and began to roar.
"Calm down! Calm down, MAGIC! Dantley grabbed the Magic, who was on the verge of taking off his jacket, and although he understood how the Magic felt when he saw the Lakers' picturesque offensive performance, he still controlled the Magic for the sake of the scandal.
"Playback! I need to watch the replay! Director! Put it again! ”
The video station seemed to hear the Magic's roar, and quickly played the Lakers' offensive tactics again.
Bryant held the ball and Horry blocked the pick-and-roll, and passed to O'Neal as soon as the block was completed.
O'Neal lifted the ball high, held the ball high with his back to the basket, and handed it to Dell Curry, who was running cross-running with Kobe!
Dell Curry made a gesture to shoot and attract the defense and then threw the ball to Eddie Jones on the baseline.
Eddie Jones holds the ball while Horry walks over! As a blockade, Hornacek was a little confused for a while whether to put up the line or press the bottom line. Such a hesitation was passed by Eddie Jones!
Eddie Jones draws the defense after passing and hits the ground straight to O'Neal!
O'Neal under the empty basket is about to rise! Attract Ostertag, Marlon, Russell threesome clip!
Pass the ball from behind!
O'Neal plays a fancy pass and flicks the ball behind his back to Kobe Bryant who is 5 meters away!
Kobe Bryant's three-point line is up and down!
Three points again!
21:21 Flat!
"Perfect team fit! The Lakers' offense is like a wheel! Kobe and Shaq as the axis! Repeatedly go to the rush to attract the defense! And the other three shooters rotate around the perimeter! Finally use their core to create attacking opportunities! ”
"Shaq and Kobe will also benefit a lot from this system! The two of them can work out each other! Just like this one, Shaq took away a bunch of defenders, and Kobe Bryant actually got an open three-point opportunity! How long has it been since Kobe Bryant had an open shot? ”
"Notice, Jerry Sloan is looking at Russell angrily! But you know, even if Russell didn't lose his position, Horry also pulled the outside line after completing the block with Eddie Jones, and the Lakers created two offensive opportunities for this ball! It's not as simple as Russell's dislocation! ”
STOCKTON TOOK A BREATH AND GESTURED WITH A FIST HIGH TACTICAL GESTURE.
Calm down, Stockton knows that the more this time, as the spiritual leader of the team, the more you have to calm down.
Although the Lakers' offensive system completed the offense very surprisingly, it only tied the score.
Also in color! Stockton doesn't think the Jazz's offensive system is weaker than any team, not even the Bulls!
The Bulls' triangle offense is more about three people — Jordan Pippen — plus a different role player with a three-man offensive system like Harper, Kerr, and Cooke. Rodman and Longley have a very low presence and involvement in the offense, while the Jazz are different!
The Jazz's pick-and-roll system is not just a two-man rotation between Malone and Stockton! It's an offensive system of five people! While Stockton and Malone are blocking, Hornacek on the other side will also block and pull out with Ostertag, looking for opportunities outside the three-point line. At the same time, Russell will try to cut inside.
Stockton will also weigh the changes in defensive positions and feed the ball to different players, and if Malone alone feeds the ball, he will never be able to feed 10 assists per game in ten seasons. It is with a tactical system that can involve the whole team to run together, that Stockton can become a master of assists and a master of control. You must know that any good passer, if his teammates don't run and just stand stupidly, there is no way to get a high assist.
The first shot of the Lakers' offensive system was amazing, but so what!
As veterans, Stockton and Malone, although surprised, will not be frightened by the performance of a round.
Jazz's pick-and-roll is very high!
Because Bowen and Big Ben had to go off, the Lakers' players defending Stockton and Malone were replaced by Eddie Jones and Horry!
Bryant continued to defend Russell.
Curry Sr. defends Hornacek, who is also a shooter.
O'Neal is at the bottom of the basket, and his pick-and-roll defense has not been a strong point. There's no way Harris could let him defend Malone, who would be toyed with by the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics.
Stockton's face against Eddie Jones is actually not much different from facing Bowen, and it is more difficult to succeed one-on-one. Jones and Bowen's one-on-one defense can hold Stockton a step ahead.
On the other hand, Malone is completely different from Horry and Big Ben.
"Pick-and-roll! Stockton stealthily passes the ball without looking at people, hitting the ground and going straight to Malone! ”
Malone held the ball and dribbled one step directly to carry Horry to the basket! Score the ball before Shaq finishes the defense! And caused a foul on Horry! 2+1! Malone wiped out Kobe's three-point advantage! He gestured at his huge biceps and nodded his head again and again! ”
"Worthy of being the top of the MVP list, Karl Malone has not finished the first quarter of this game, and has already made 4 defensive fouls for the Lakers! It's horrible! 7 free throws in a single quarter! ”
"Malone hit the free throw steadily, Sloan nodded repeatedly on the sidelines, at this moment, it is still up to the play of the two Utah elders to stabilize the situation."
"Ben! Keep an eye on every move of Karl Malone, and I hope that the next time you play, you will be able to suppress him without fouling! Kirtlambis hammered Ben Wallace's massive deltoid muscle.
Big Ben frowned, although he blocked Malone in the first round, but Malone quickly adjusted his offensive method later, and he couldn't strangle him at all, but instead had 2 fouls. If there was no foul, Big Ben thought that he could still make a move with Ma Long, but with the foul on him, he didn't dare to do his best at all.
"Don't worry, in the second half, you will have a chance." Byron Scott also persuaded Bowen.
"I know."
...
"The offensive ability of the Lakers' lineup system is too strong, right?" Kerr's eyes widened, and as a point guard with coaching dreams, he knew exactly how powerful the Lakers' tactics were.
"It's in again, and so is Dell Curry. Lakers hit in a row! This offensive system Jazz is a little confused! Kobe Bryant and Shaq's dual-core engine is too fierce. Harper also smacked his tongue again and again, the Jazz's defense is definitely among the top five in the league, but they have no way to take the Lakers' offense.
"But the Jazz have exploded into each other." Rodman also wore sunglasses and a large gold chain in the locker room.
And the Zen master on the side also frowned. When the Bulls players saw the Lakers' performance, they still thought of relatively superficial content, but he knew that this system was the X-factor that could reverse a series!
If the Bulls meet the Lakers and sacrifice this lineup, the result will be the same as the Jazz, and the Lakers will blow up? Or can you hold every point to the death?
Phil Jackson thought about it for a while, but he was relieved.
Looking at a group of top defenders on the perimeter, Michael Jordan and Pippen lead the front line, and Harper Rodman sits in the No. 1 and No. 4 positions. Isn't the Bulls' strongest perimeter defensive group? Even if the Lakers' outside projection ability is strong, Phil Jackson thinks he can strangle it. Let Shaq O'Neill be alone on the inside, and this tactical system will naturally be self-defeating.
Of course, the premise of everything - Michael Jordan can lock up Kobe.
Will this premise be fulfilled in the Grand Final?
Confident in this, the Zen master closed his eyes with peace of mind and began to meditate for the beginning of the second session.
Outside the locker room, Crowder, the general manager of the Bulls, is peeking at the scene...
...
"End of the first quarter! The Lakers scored 13 points in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter! Jazz is no slouch either! Scored 9 points! ”
"13 points in four minutes, a quarter of the game according to this scoring efficiency is to run for 40 points, it's terrible, in the Utah Plateau, in the face of such a defensive pressure from the Jazz to play such an offensive performance."
In terms of offensive success rate alone, the two teams are almost the same, but the Lakers' consecutive three-pointers really stung the Jazz. O'Neal's ability to pull on the inside is too strong, and Karl Malone and Russell are a little tired, and they are a little dilemma in defending Kobe or O'Neal. ”
"Kobe Bryant and Shaq, you have to choose a bag, Jazz is a little greedy, Jerry Sloan is a little greedy, he wants it all!"
"The Jazz's pick-and-roll system has no flaws, and Malone plays like a fish in water under this system. But the Lakers' offense is even more terrifying! More efficient! ”
"The Lakers' system, based on the uninterrupted power supply of Kobe and O'Neal's dual-core engines, is almost invincible!"
"Jerry Sloan is going to choose to make a change, to pinch one core, and to bet that the other core can't kill the game. I'm looking forward to seeing if Sloan will choose Shaq or Kobe. It's a tough choice. ”
"At the same time, they need to continue to maintain a super high level of offensive efficiency, which is not too much of a problem for the Jazz, whose pick-and-roll offensive system is their biggest characteristic."
"At least in these 4 minutes, the Lakers' offensive system defeated the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll system!"
