Smush Parker received the ball and brought it to the three-point line, passing the ball to Kobe Bryant without observing the Suns' defensive position.

From this alone, it can be seen that the Lakers' offensive system does not need a point guard organization, and it has not been needed. Point guards typically pass the ball in the middle of the court and then wait for an opportunity to catch the ball and shoot and defend.

Payton, who is used to being the core, naturally can't fit into the Lakers system, and in the 2004 playoffs, he couldn't find a rhythm to play.

The Lakers indirectly helped the Suns, and if they hadn't made Payton see his decline clearly and were willing to take a back seat, Payton wouldn't have joined the Suns at all, and he couldn't accept being a substitute who only played 10 minutes a game.

Bryant took the ball under Odom's cover and changed direction to the left, which is the weak side, and the Suns' defensive tactics are man-to-man.

The players all pulled away, only Kobe and Bogut were on one side, and then Kobe was depressed to find that Bogut was asking for the ball with his back at 45 degrees in the penalty area.

As long as Bogut stays in this position, he can reduce Kobe's offensive efficiency, because Kobe Bryant is very efficient at 45 degrees, both in the face frame and on the back, he can turn and fall back to shoot jumpers, and he can hold the ball and change to a layup.

Moreover, Valejo, who is defending at the top, is behind Bogut, and Kobe Bryant is easily caught by Bell and Valejo if he breaks through the bottom line.

Kobe frowned, seeing through Bogut's wolf ambition at a glance, no matter how he played, Bogut wanted to force Kobe to pass the ball and use him to make himself score easily.

Bryant hesitated for a moment, protected the ball to a position of about 70 degrees, leaned his back against Bell and turned around to face the frame, raised the ball with both hands and faked a fax throw, and the ball bounced out of the basket.

Vallejo immediately switched from top defense to staggering and grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Kobe Bryant was depressed, Bogut turned out to be the champion, and the rebounds couldn't even grab the explosive head that couldn't even enter the Suns playoff roster.

Bogut was also depressed at this time. Lao Tzu is just playing against the explosive head who can't even get into the playoff roster, why don't you pass it on, I couldn't beat Marcus Camby last time, and I can't beat a marginal person of the Suns today?

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu brought to the front court and Vallejo played blocking and dismantling in the middle, the Lakers also had a man-to-man tactic, and the person who came out to defend the dismantling was Odom.

Bogut came out to change the guard, Guo Xu will definitely hold the ball and burst him, even if he can't pass people, he may attract a pass to the big man who is cut in the air, Jackson knows him very well.

The reason for the opening man-to-man tactics is that the Suns counterattack a lot, and the joint defense often can't be put in place, and the second is that Bogut is inexperienced, and the Suns outside players may not know who to defend after two laps.

The shortcomings of the man-to-man tactics are also obvious, prone to weak sides and misalignments, as the Suns have Marion, the fastest power forward in the league.

Guo Xu attracted Odom to switch defenses and walked to the left side, bringing out a little space to transfer the ball to Marion in the bottom corner, Bogut stood up and leaned into the penalty area, only rushed out to slightly interfere, Marion received the ball and hit a three-point jumper. 3 to 0.

The Lakers attacked, and Bryant waved at Bogut, directing him to pull out to attract the defense and give up position.

Bogut reluctantly came out of the low post to cover Bryant off the ball, Bryant went to the right side to receive a pass, and Bale chased the defense in place. Bryant leaned his back against Bell twice, turned to the baseline and threw the ball backwards. 3 to 2.

The home fans applauded Bryant's wonderful goal, and the record was not good, Bryant was the only attraction for the Lakers, his single moves were too much like Jordan, and his posture was picturesque.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Vallejo played blocking and dismantling, and the weak side attracted Odom to change the defense, hitting the ground and passing the ball to Marion on the bottom line, and this time Bogut defended it.

Marion raised the ball with both hands and shook it, started to change direction and passed Bogut in one step, and in the second step he completely got rid of it with speed, went deep into the basket, jumped up and half-turned, and smashed the ball with his right hand. 5 to 2.

This kind of ball will not be counted as Guo Xu's assist, but it is a successful organization, and Marion's play against Bogut is misplaced.

The Lakers attacked, and the ball passed to Kobe Bryant, who threatened three in the right side of the frame, probed and burst to the bottom line, forced a layup, and caused Bell to foul and hit both free throws. 5 to 4.

The Suns players didn't help defense, and they all took care of their own people.

The Suns are still the same, Vallejo pulled to the outside of the three-point line to block Guo Xu, this time Odom went to defend Marion, otherwise Marion may score continuously, which is equivalent to swingman single-handedly center.

Guo Xu immediately changed his style of play, moved a step sideways to the right and made a quick three-point shot. Bogut is still standing near the free-throw line as he did in college, waiting for a defender to break through, and then he can use his height to prevent interference.

Many interior players who come out of the NCAA like to stand near the restricted area when defending and blocking, and they mainly defend against breakthroughs. Because the NCAA guards are good at shooting three-pointers, most of them don't have the range to break through, and even if they have the range, they won't shoot endlessly.

The best in college basketball may be just a marginal person in the NBA, but now Bogut is facing Guo Xu, and his college experience is definitely not good.

Parker also struggled to chase Guo Xu, who was a tall point guard with a height of 193CM and a weight of 86 kg, and his sensitivity was inferior to that of a small guard, and he was blocked by the cover for a second.

This time difference Guo Xu can solve the problem, he shot very easily, and the ball went into the net hollow. 8 to 4.

The Lakers attacked, Parker and Bogut blocked and dismantled, and Guo Xu bypassed the defense and shot from the internal test, blocking the breakthrough route.

Parker has plenty of space and height to shoot, and his pull-up jumper Guo Xu certainly can't cover it. Unfortunately, he lacked confidence and hesitated before choosing to pass the ball to Odom in the middle.

Marion saw the opportunity to rush out and reach out and poke the basketball, and he singled down the fast break to get rid of Odom with his speed and dunk the basketball with both hands. 10 to 4.

Barkley laughed: "The Suns now have two fewer interior plays, and the change is that Marion has more shots, and they easily suppressed the Lakers in the opening game." ”

Smith said: "The huge gap in the No. 1 position is doomed to be difficult for the Lakers to win, Guo Xu opened the game mainly to organize passes, and he hasn't played on his own." ”

Barkley praised: "He usually waits for his teammates to be able to go wrong before he pulls off heads-up, which is very selfless, otherwise Parker will have to cry against him, and now there is no guard in the league who wants to defend him." ”

The Lakers attacked, Parker passed to Kobe Bryant after half court, stood on the outside and waited for an opportunity, ready to catch and shoot. His style of play allows Guo Xu to rest for a while on the defensive end and focus more on the offensive end.

Bogut ran to the low post on the left side again, he was already stuck with Vallejo, and he could comfortably make movements when receiving the ball, whether it was turning to the baseline to hit the basket, turning to the baseline to shoot, or turning to the middle to hook hands, his technique is very skillful.

Bogut isn't the best player in his class in terms of physicality, but he has great strength and fundamentals, and he's very efficient when training head-to-head with his teammates. He doesn't think Vallejo, a man on the fringes of the Suns, is much better than Turyaf in the first few rounds of the second round.

It's a pity that his position was in vain again, Kobe Bryant received the ball after three threats, faked a foxy burst, took a step to the baseline, and made a stop-and-go jump shot without getting rid of the defense, which was deflected under the interference of Bale.

Valejo, who is defending at the top, is particularly easy to get rebounds at this time, and only needs to stick to Bogut, the two weigh about the same, and Bogut is not easy to jump from behind.

Bogut's face was glazed back when he returned to defense, and he can now fully understand why O'Neal was able to score 21.5 points on 14.1 shots while the Lakers averaged 36.8 minutes per game in 2003-04.

is not the team's boss and Kobe Bryant's inside partner, and it is a waste of feelings to be in a position near the penalty area......
