Chapter 1462 - A new way of playing is released
On December 23, the Lakers, who defeated the Heat, made back-to-back road trips to the East.
The opponent is the Orlando Magic, well, also a tank team, a team with little season prospects.
Although this team poached Ibaka + Bismarck in the offseason. Biyombo looked like they were going to form a strong inside box with both flexibility and defensive flexibility, but the result was ...... And not satisfying. Not only did the iron-blooded defense expected at the beginning of the season not work, but his own offense was also a mess, averaging only 101+ points per game. This score bar was placed at the beginning of the 21st century, which was still very good, quite good, and now it is ...... A scumbag. Scum? With the exception of the Mavericks, there isn't a team in the entire league that can't play in the triple digits. The Magic have the fourth-lowest scoring ability in the league. It's ridiculous that in exchange for 2 interior players, at least the interior should be an advantage, but no, the Magic team averages 43+ rebounds per game and ranks almost 20 in the league, but they have to lose an average of 45+ rebounds per game. That is, the rebounding ball is lost by 2 overall. What about caps? These two people should be very good at blocking, right...... is also inferior to the opponent per game.
Add to that the poor three-point shooting percentage, and the number of assists in the lower reaches of the league, and the ball is simply a one-sided game.
How to struggle, that's it, besides, the head coach of the Magic team is not a magical person, he doesn't have the energy to turn decay into magic.
A kick-off with the head coach of the Magic, Frank. Vogel wanted to play something else, but he still had a little glory in Indiana. Building a defensive system can also be regarded as a coach with some experience. At that time, Indiana was known as the only opponent of the Miami Big Three in the East. As soon as he came up with the ball, he came up with a "slightly eccentric" tactical ball, using an interior player to pull out and shoot three-pointers, because Ibaka's three-point ability is still okay, second in the team. But the problem is, Biyombo can't shoot three-pointers. Such a four-man pull away, and it still can't create any trouble for the Lakers.
The Lakers' defensive system is now quite mature, unless you are really the same as the Warriors, five people shoot outside, then there is a chance to completely open up the space and pull out Tang Qian, otherwise 4 people are still not enough. The Lakers are now accustomed to facing this kind of tactical play of four players. If you want to hang Tang Qian out easily, it is delusional.
Then the defensive end of the Magic team also took it for granted, and actually wanted to use squeezing the strong side + quickly shrinking the low post to fight the Lakers' interior offense. Well, knowing that your roster is flexible, Ibaka and Biyombo are both interior defenders who can quickly expand and shrink, but ...... There's one thing you don't understand. That is, you have to have two or more people to have a chance to cause problems for the Lakers' No. 29, and one person, whether you're Ibaka or Biyombo or something, it's a dish.
It tastes so refreshing and delicious.
And they really underestimated Tang Qian's ability to shoot the ball, yes, Ibaka and Biyombo have a hand to protect the basket, and Randle is easy to fall into the brute and rush, and lacks change. Then it's better for the Lakers to start directly with Gasol in this game, why Gasol? It's very simple, because Gasol has developed an empty three-point shot in the offseason according to Tang Qian's suggestion.
Don't believe it, Gasol's three-point shooting this season is extremely accurate, reaching 53.8% in the original time and space, and this time and space also has a shooting rate of more than 5 percent. Even if he averages less than 2 shots per game, it is good to be able to play such a tactical role in his playing time and playing style. Tonight, is the best example.
You want to wrap Tang Qian and squeeze the strong side so much, okay, let's just switch to the No. 4 position that can shoot three-point shots.
Throw you to death.
Why not switch to a smaller lineup, because that can also form a strategy in the middle, which is also Larry. Brown's current tactical attempt to make the playoffs. In case, I mean, if Tang Qian is caught in a certain game and the ball is not effective, then you can also use Gasol in the middle to form a second inside strategy as a pivot point. At the same time, there is also Tang Qian + Gasol in the low post and near the free throw line as a double inside axis, which is also a new tactical play. It can be used to break some tough situations.
Of course, there will be a little problem with this outside line, but it is mainly to solve the Lakers' problems on the offensive end.
Because Gasol is an inside pass master and an axis master, plus Tang Qian is now also a super inside pass strategy, the two of them add up, if they can get up chemistry, then the Lakers' overall offense can be alleviated. Even with the addition of Rondo, it's not like you can't play a dozen of the 2014 San Antonio Spurs' super split-and-cut play.
After all, no team has ever had three passes as axis playmakers, and they are all high-energy levels at various positions, and if they can create chemistry, Larry. Brown thinks the Lakers can have one more powerful move.
Now that the Lakers are the defending champions, how many teams are staring at it, and a little more new tricks is not a bad thing.
Follow Larry. Brown's idea is to form a straight line, low, median, high, three pivots, or two low pivots and a top-arc pivot...... Such a high-energy organizational play, while Gasol is still in shape, if he is still an All-Star in the East this year, and the degradation is not serious, he can show off a good wave of overall passing.
Moreover, it is a passing and cutting style that relies entirely on individual ability, that is, the unpredictable nature is greatly enhanced.
Tactical routines are never as flexible as individual temporary commands, and there is no anti-sky coaching system, right? So this, also Larry. An expectation point for Brown. He is actually prepared for danger in times of peace, and he is not because the Lakers are strong, except for a few teams in the league who are basically crushed by strength, he gets carried away and only eats his old book, which is a very good thing. How many champion coaches are because they are immutable, and they are finally studied thoroughly, and they will be out of class overnight.
Last year's championship ignited Larry. Brown's ambition, he suddenly wants to bring out a team with consecutive championships in his contract. After all, the dynasty is too difficult, and you can still look forward to the championship. That's why he has been experimenting with a variety of lineups and playing styles this season.
Being able to succeed in winning consecutive championships is also a comfort and glory for himself, isn't it?
He has never touched such a suitable hand in his life, he has always been flawed or even a dog before, and he has been weak and strong, this time, maybe it is him, the best and last chance. He was also old, so he was very involved in this opportunity.
Don't say it, he experimented with some lineup combinations and tactics earlier and didn't succeed, but this one has a remarkable effect.
Although this is the first time it has been used in real combat, the chemistry is amazing!
Look at this wave of attack Tang Qian was pinched in the low post, immediately out of the ball, and then the middle Gasol gave Ariza who cut in again, the Magic team Ibaka still reacted quickly, in the end, he was still the man who competed with Tang Qian for the block king, 2 and 8 huge is not fake. The ball moves very fast, and if Ariza is strong, it is estimated that the effect will not be good. Ariza passed the ball back to Gasol near the free throw line, Gasol dribbled a step and blocked it to the coming Rondo, Rondo burst in, divided the ball, and gave it directly to Tang Qian, Tang Qian didn't get the ball in his hand this time and quickly volleyed out, and then Gasol followed in the middle, which was a two-handed dunk.
You see, how many tricks have changed, and it's all caused by passing and running.
The Magic's defensive lineup was completely torn apart, and when Gasol dunked, there was no one in the middle.
After having confidence, the Lakers began to play more and more, the lineup was double-low, Gasol and Tang Qian each defended one side, and then the Lakers' outside players came to each other without the ball to cut in, Rondo disrupted the defense, burst points, Gasol out of the ball, Tang Qian attracted the ball again after receiving the ball, Gasol took the ball in the middle and directly divided it to the outside line, three points, and succeeded.
The speed and confidence of these people are all extremely strong, and the three of them are playing like this, which began to make the Magic team's defense slowly collapse, and they couldn't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. It's terrible, and even the Lakers have a ball that the three of them are willing to score after they have made it clear that they want to play with the entire defense of the Magic team, passing the ball back and forth at high speed, and then completely tearing up a huge gap with the pass.
It looks like the Magic have turned into headless flies, have been being led by the Lakers, and then died.
The Lakers had 15 assists in the first quarter, and the Magic nearly fell apart.
If the Magic team is a novice who has just gotten his driver's license, then the Lakers are now absolute veterans, cutting in at all sorts of gorgeous, elegant, and precise small angles, which makes Orlando stunned.
This ball coach is the most accurate, look at this, brush brush, brush brush, pass the ball is the same as a work of art, people move with the ball. Yes, it's smooth, it's smooth to watch, it's the top flower, that's the feeling. This is a style of play that the previous Lakers did not have.
On the U.S. side, a veteran journalist and columnist tweeted:
This first quarter was all about the Lakers walking Orlando.
Well, it's precise, it's apt, and that makes Larry. Brown also pushed his glasses and said, "This is good, you can use it often in the future." ”
Then there was the crash of Orlandos all night.
I was walked all night, and there was a wood, and I didn't touch the figure much.
