Chapter 268: Scene 2

"Bryant, I'm sorry, the era of the Lakers has passed, and this year is the year of the Thunder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" The starting lineup came on, and Durant and Kobe Bryant hugged each other and whispered quietly.

"Nope." Kobe Bryant looked at Durant firmly and said, "Because I haven't agreed yet." ”

"Alright then, Bryant, let's have a battle tonight." Durant has gradually grown up now, and as one of the league's quasi-superstars, he no longer needs to talk to Kobe Bryant in the same way as before.

Kobe Bryant looked at the thin and tall young man in front of him, and said in an indifferent tone: "sure." ”

At the beginning of the first quarter, facing the second series, the Lakers still made a lot of preparations. Starting with tactics, Mike. Brown reformulated a temporary set of tactics that revolved around center inside Andrew Brown. Bynum tailor-made. However, Tang Qian heard through the grapevine that in fact, this temporary tactic was the assistant coach Mark . Madsen's "offering".

Follow Mike. Brown said that the main attack on Bynum in the opening game is because the Thunder and Nuggets are different, their starting center and starting power forward are not tall. Although Sergi. Ibaka is athletic and stands out for his blocking skills, but compared to the 7-foot Javier. McGee, still a little less interesting in terms of low-level deterrence. In addition, the owner of the nunnery is now a heavy center and is not afraid of physical contact and physical confrontation, so it is possible to use his height and arm span to force Ibaka.

Putting aside the prejudice against the owner of the nunnery, this season is indeed the peak of the owner's personal ability, and it is necessary to go head-to-head against Serji, who is only 6 feet 10 inches tall. Ibaka, he actually has a certain advantage.

At least on paper, that's right.

As a good manager, optimizing the strength of the team's books is an indispensable basic quality. Now Mike. That's what Brown is doing. At least this tactical plan is laid out, and no one will question it too much.

In the first quarter, the owner of the nunnery was also competitive, making 4 free throws on 3-of-6 shooting and scoring 10 points on 50% shooting. Gasol completely conceded the low post, and his mid-range jumper shooting rate was average, only 1 of 3 shots, and he only scored 2 points in a single quarter. What about Kobe? He played poorly at the beginning of this game, although he had 6 points, 2 assists and 3 steals in the data column, but unfortunately he shot 2 of 7, and after playing three single fast breaks, he still shot less than 3 percent, only 28.6%. That is to say, except for the 2 fast-break shots in the athletic battle and the 2 free throws after being violated, all of his 5 remaining mid-to-long-range shots were missed, and none of them entered the opponent's net.

Tang Qian sat on the sidelines and looked at it, in fact, in the first quarter, the defensive titan Sapo. Sofrosa didn't defend too tightly and there were several good chances, even open balls. It's a pity that for some reason, Kobe's medium and long distances were all thrown away.

Is it affected by that mild rhabdomyolysis syndrome? Tang Qian swept Gary, who was sitting in the back. Victi glanced at it and found that the latter had a serious face at the moment, looking at the direction of No. 24 on the field meticulously.

For this medical term, before Tang Qian came on the field, he took the time to ask Gary. Viti, the approximate effects are as follows, muscle aches all over the body, muscle weakness all over the body, a touch will produce far more pain than usual, and then there will be a series of adverse reactions such as swelling and fever. Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to continue to engage in intense competitive sports, even ordinary low-intensity exercises. Even if the physical fitness of NBA athletes is far beyond ordinary people, they can't escape these "negative reactions".

But the problem is that the person on the court, he is the Black Mamba, and he is the No. 24 of the Lakers, so it is impossible for him not to play.

Making excuses? Is this kind of thing, this word, in Kobe's dictionary?

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were 22-21 and led the Thunder by one point in the first quarter.

And the reason why it will take the lead, in addition to the change of offensive tactics, defensive strategy, Mike. Brown also made a slight adjustment.

The general policy has not changed much, mainly because the defensive objects of two people have changed.

Kobe Bryant and Sessions.

Mike. Brown asked Kobe to defend the No. 1 position and Sessions to defend the No. 2 position on the defensive end, so that the opponent became Kobe Bryant VS Russell. Westbrook, Sessions vs Sapo. Soflosa. Westbrook is the team's No. 2 point of attack, and Soflosa doesn't necessarily have a few shots in a game. Brown's change of formation can be regarded as increasing the Lakers' defensive ability and weakening the Thunder's offensive firepower.

However, no matter how well the tactical planning is, it also depends on the actual effect.

Bryant made 3-of-7 shots and made two personal turnovers, which is much lower than the shooting percentage of more than 66% in the previous game. It can be said that this set of misplaced marking, the Lakers have achieved good results. But there are still some hidden problems, such as the offensive end of the hermitage, which looks like he scored 10 points in a single quarter, and the shooting rate is also more than 50%, which is very efficient. But if you look at the opponent Sergi at the same time. Ibaka's personal data, I'm afraid, is not so optimistic. Ibaka only scored 3-pointers in the first quarter, which seemed to be a far cry from the 10 on the owner's side, but he did make a terrible statistic of 3 blocks, and without exception, they were all given to the Lakers' main attacker, Andrew. Bynum. That is to say, the nunnery master shot 3 of 6, and the goals that were not scored were all selji. Ibaka gave a "hot pot"!

This is definitely a red flag! Don't think that only attackers have a feel, defenders do.

Once let Sergi. Ibaka's block feels open, and then 5 caps in a game will not be able to play!

Even if Tang Qian snatched the opponent's block king title, he still recognized the strength of this Congolese man.

If he hadn't taken advantage of the bench, it would have been impossible to get this average number of blocks per game, which Tang knows very well. And Ibaka's average blocks per game, which are all real, are "brushed" in the main confrontation, and there are still some differences in essence from his own.

One of the reasons why ESPN and most of the American media don't quite agree with themselves as the new king of the block is here.

If the other party is asked to "cover the smooth" tonight, the consequences will be unpredictable.

In the first quarter of the game, Mike. Brown didn't give Don time to play, because for him, taking the lead in the first quarter had tactical psychological implications. The big rout in the last game had a serious impact on the morale of the Lakers, and he had to solve this problem, otherwise the entire team's desire to fight will only get lower and lower.

And for now, Mike. Brown did a good job.

However, this situation did not affect the mood of the opposite manager. Brooks' heart, Mike. Brown is no match for him. In the first quarter, it seemed that the Lakers had a one-point lead and took the lead, but the price paid was also extremely obvious. For example, Kobe Bryant, the team's top scorer, has such a large intensity of defense Westbrook, which looks good on the surface, but the consumption of his physical end is very huge. And Westbrook is not the Nuggets' Ty. Lawson, the former is much better than the latter in terms of height, strength, and explosiveness. How to say that Wei Shao this season is also the main one who averages 23.6 points per game, compared to Ty Lawson, the difference in strength is not ordinarily large.

One has an average score of 17+ per game, but the other has 23+, which is already a grade difference, and there is at least one Great Lakes in between. So Scola. Brooks can foresee that even if Kobe can restrain Westbrook, it will be a big loss for himself. After all, the Lakers No. 24 in front of him is almost 34, not almost 24.

Time old man can take away everything of the great player and this is Scola. Brooks believes in something.

If it were the 24-year-old Kobe, then he would definitely change his tactics and stop Westbrook from fighting with his opponent, but the 34-year-old Kobe Bryant~ Hmph, I have enough patience to consume you~

Scola. Brooks looked at the Lakers' No. 24 and thought to himself.

The second quarter of the game began, and sure enough, Scola did not come out. Brooks expected that the Lakers were starting to have problems. The first point to sway is Andrew, the youngest player in the Lakers' starters. Bynum. In this quarter, he lost his performance in the first quarter and was defeated by Sergi. Ibaka was holding back. 1 of 4 shots, with a shooting rate of 25%, is the report card handed over by the master of this section. The Congolese managed to freeze the Lakers' No. 17. But fortunately, Wei Shao was still controlled by Kobe, shooting 1 of 3 in a single quarter, and the shooting percentage was extremely unsightly.

But since it is a "Thunder double less", one is missing, then there is another, after 2 quarters, Durant understated, 4 of 4 shots, with 100% shooting rate and 2 accurate free throws, easily scored 10 points. Ci Shiping had almost no way to deal with him, so he could only watch his opponent score. Durant also knows that Ci Shiping's defense is tough, so his offensive strategy is, shooting, mid-range shooting, long-distance shooting, using his "Du Qiqi" terrifying height and super arm span to directly catch the ball. Shoot Ci Shiping, so that the opponent has a brute force, but there is nowhere to use it.

Of course, in addition to this, the Thunder have other "surprises", and that is Nick. Chris stepped up, taking advantage of his "shorter" height, receiving the ball from the outside and frequently throwing the Spaniard. And tonight's hand is very good, 3 of 3 shots, another wave of 100% shooting. In the end, 27-23 in the first quarter and 48-45 at halftime, the Thunder successfully overtook the score.

Tang Qian played 2 minutes and 50 seconds in this quarter, got 3 rebounds and 1 block, and successfully suppressed the Thunder's bench inside. Mohammed.

In the locker room, Mike. Brown was a little out of breath, because the current trend on the court was obviously biased in favor of the Thunder.

Although the difference is only 3 points, the momentum is not right, and it is a big problem.

With the athleticism of the Thunder team, once the momentum starts, it is extremely normal to play a wave, and at the moment, the Lakers, the worst thing is the fast break ability and athletic combat ability, in case the score difference is widened, then unless Kobe Bryant breaks out, he can almost only be restrained. Having a twin tower interior line is an advantage and a disadvantage, especially for the NBA league, where the pace of offensive and defensive transitions is getting faster and faster, the status of the traditional interior line has fallen again and again. According to statistics, the proportion of positional warfare in the alliance is decreasing year by year, replaced by rapid offense and defense, and the proportion of movement warfare is increasing year by year. In this way, the market for bulky people has been further narrowed, like the 80~90s that kind of stump-type center, until now, no one cares.

Being chased and beaten in the ass is a phrase often said in the league now, and the meaning is self-evident.

You can say that the overall quality of the center in this era has declined, and the strong are always strong, take the "four centers" in the 90s, and still sweep everything, and they are extremely strong. That's right, but there are only four people in the "four centers" as the name suggests, and without exception, they are all "human monsters" with both technical and athletic abilities. But there are 30 teams in the NBA, starting plus substitutes, at least 60 or more centers are needed, and what about the remaining 56+ people after removing the "four centers"? The transformation of ordinary centers is representative, because they do not have the talent of the "four centers", they can be strong and strong, and if they want to survive in the league, they must go down the river and adapt to the general trend.

Obviously, the general trend of the alliance now is sports warfare, rapid offensive and defensive warfare, high-tempo warfare, and run-and-bomb warfare...... Anyway, in a word, it is no longer a world where positional warfare is king.

"Squeeze the offensive rounds, compress the attacking tempo, bring them into our rhythm!" Mike. Brown said loudly in the locker room: "The point guard must be pressed, don't rush to play fast break and defensive counterattack, our advantage is in positional warfare!" Have you memorized them all? Positional battles are preferred! ”

Mike. Brown's choice is not wrong, the advantage of the Lakers is indeed positional warfare, playing one shot at a time, and the Thunder team is 80% not the opponent of the Lakers. But the question is, will the opponent be tricked? As a head coach, everyone wants to let the opponent fall into the rhythm of their own team, but in fact, how can it be so simple?

Scott. Brooks' order to the Thunder team is to continue to play fast and continue to implement the tactics of high-speed offensive and defensive switching, as long as the Lakers can't hold back, the Thunder team can take away the opponent in a "wave".

The No. 1 position plays a very important role in carrying out the manager's intentions, because it is a natural responsibility to play as a playmaker, to connect the team, to organize the team. Controlling the tempo is also one of the main functions of the No. 1 position.

But as soon as he came on the court in the third quarter, after several offenses and defenses, Mike. Brown's expression became "constipated". Because he discovered the brutal fact that the Lakers' No. 1 position is far inferior to the Thunder's No. 1 position. Between offense and defense, Ramon. Sessions was already so overwhelmed just by dealing with Westbrook that he couldn't care about what tactics to execute and what tempo to control.

Suddenly Mike. Brown is infinitely nostalgic for "Old Fish" Fisher, because in terms of controlling the rhythm, Ramon . Sessions is ten streets worse than Fisher's experience. Fortunately in the regular season, this problem is not obvious, but once in the playoffs, the benefits of the "old fish" are highlighted.

Fisher against Westbrook, of course, is also very lacking in ability, but you can control the rhythm, the more critical the game, the more critical the moment, the more important the experience, and even faintly can overpower the ability. Westbrook often has this kind of problem, handling mistakes at key balls and critical moments, and dropping chains. On the other hand, Fisher, who is not as good as him, is extremely stable, rarely makes mistakes, and his ability to handle key balls can be called the top in the league.

This is the role of the experience of the competition and the experience of the big scene, and Wei Shao in 2011-2012 was far from being able to do this.

It's a pity that the Lakers' Ramon. Sessions, this aspect is even weaker, don't look at 07 years to enter the NBA to play, but in the playoffs, this is the first time he has suffered. So from an empirical point of view, he is much more dishful than Wei Shao, at least Wei Shao is already the third playoff trip of his career.

In terms of ability and experience, it is far inferior to that of Will, Ramon. Sessions was "ravaged. "trampling" has become a matter of course. The Lakers are playing more and more chaotic, playing more and more miscellaneous, and in the end, let alone bringing the opponent into the rhythm, their own rhythm is almost broken and messy.

Just four and a half minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers were trailing and getting bigger.

50-60, the score difference is in double digits in the blink of an eye.
