Chapter 519 [Heaven will descend on a great task, and it is more advantageous to attack]
Without O'Neal and Malone, Kobe Bryant can finally occupy the low post and play the way he likes, but his back-to-back turn shot can't be as accurate as O'Neal's body into the restricted area.
Kobe Bryant hopes that he can rely on his individual ability to attract two or three people to wrap up and then share the ball to assist his teammates and lead the team to victory. He has always believed that imitating Jordan is the best way to rule the league. He stepped up his back-to-back training this summer and opted to gain weight, and without O'Neal, he intends to increase his confrontation in order to get better inside.
In terms of how to play his personal strength, Kobe Bryant has a very high ball quotient, and he is good at using tactics, taking advantage of the opponent's defensive holes, and even using the league rules to score.
Sliding steps and small broken steps Kobe Bryant are all practicing perfectly, and unless they go to the international arena, they are rarely blown away.
Another piece of good news for all offensive players this year is that the league has once again emphasized the rule that hand-checking is not allowed, and offensive players will have more space to make moves, and Kobe Bryant feels that this is a big responsibility.
What is this rule? To put it bluntly, it is the rules that make the overall offense of an NBA team stronger.
In the 1978-79 season, the NBA officially added the rule that hand-checking was not allowed, and it was strictly enforced, allowing defenders to make physical contact with offensive players, while not blocking the offensive players' offensive routes with their hands.
This rule led to NBA teams playing offensive basketball in the 80s, and the average points per game and free throws per game reached all-time highs.
At that time, the most amazing Nuggets team averaged more than 120 points per game for five consecutive years, but the average points conceded per game on the defensive end was also a league-high 122.3 points. Any idea how bad the Nuggets' defense was in 1990-91? Conceding an average of 130.8 points per game, the only team in history to concede 130+ points per game in a season.
The frenzied offense allowed the NBA to begin to attract the attention of fans, and gradually developed into a great business league.
Later, the success of the Pistons' bad boys led to a significant increase in the NBA's defensive intensity, and the league had to re-emphasize this rule. In the 1994-95 season, hand-checking was completely eliminated from the baseline to the free throw line.
This means that the distance from the baseline to the free throw line is not allowed to have hand-checking, and the referee can blow for a foul if the defender puts his hand on Jordan's back when he hits his back.
This led to rumors in the NBA that the league's strict hand-checking was to make Jordan better offensive, and at the time he wanted to call this rule the "Jordan Rule", which was blocked by Stern because it would appear too obvious.
This should have been just a rumor, as Jordan didn't come back until the second half of that season, and of course he clearly benefited, in addition to the shortening of the three-point line...... Next season, the Bulls broke the regular season record with a 72-10 record and easily won the playoffs, with Jordan sweeping two MVPs.
From the late 90s to the present, because of the Heat, Knicks, Spurs and other defensive teams, this rule is almost dead in name only, and playoff players are casually elbowing.
The league wanted to encourage offense, so this summer once again emphasized strict hand-checking penalties, and clearly defined what a blocking foul is, more blowing penalties for defending for three seconds, so that the teams can stretch their formations more openly.
The attacking players are happy and the fans are happy.
In Guo Xu's previous life, there will be some Jordan fans and ancient blowers who will be happier in the future, and even climax directly.
Because these blind balls probably don't watch the ball at all, thinking that this rule is new in 2004, they said that if Jordan played in the era of this rule, he could average 50 points per game and 100 points in a single game, because at that time, Jordan broke through the opponent and dragged it, and his back would be hugged......
In fact, it is not common sense that hand-checking is forbidden for people who can play basketball, and defenders can only rely on their lateral bodies to block the opponent's offensive line. When does a player use his arm to block the opponent's offensive lane? That's a foul, and the referee will blow it in the elementary school game!
The Suns didn't have the idea of wrapping Kobe Bryant in the first quarter, so they sent Bell to guard against others and cut off the connection between Kobe and his teammates.
The rest of the Lakers' players, with the exception of Odom and Butler, lack the ability to attack with the ball, and as long as the Lakers trident is locked in singles, they can't win against the Suns.
Assistant coach Larry Drew likes to defend one-man and only help around the box, while D'Antoni is a fan of the magic ball theory, and they both think it's not a big deal for a man who shoots 45 percent from the field to score two points on an infinite number of points.
The Suns attacked, Bale stood in the bottom corner of the right side to attract the defense, Marion and Nene were on the left side, Guo Xu played the block and then went to the weak side, Odom did not dare to easily change the defense Guo Xu this time.
In the first two rounds, he changed his defense very quickly, blocking in front of Guo Xu to keep a distance, which could not only prevent breakthroughs but also interfere with shooting, but Guo Xu's strong breakthrough to the middle of the pass was a bad thing, 188CM tall, 84 kg weight Eisley could not stop Xiao Sikong cut.
The problem is that Easley has not been able to keep up with Guo Xu's speed, and he relies on experience to play. After a major injury to the Knicks in 2001-02, Easley was out of luck, even though he was only 32 years old and could retire at any time.
Guo Xu changed direction and accelerated past Odom to get into the basket, and without waiting for Grant to make up for the defense, he scored a layup. 6 to 2.
The Lakers attacked, and Bryant received the ball again and chose heads-up.
If the opponent does not pack, Kobe Bryant will play alone, he has always attracted the bag and then split the ball, even if O'Neal likes to play like this when he is around, he is confident that he can single out anyone.
Which teammate is more reliable to pass to singles than him? Not at the moment, Butler and Odom are both second-rate stars.
Others are wasting opportunities if they can't shoot, and this core idea Kobe Bryant has long had, and now that O'Neal is gone, he has more reason to shoot unlimitedly. As for the more passes he wanted to make before the game, let's wait for the opponent to wrap up.
Bryant brought himself to the low post, protected the ball with his back to find the right rhythm and position, turned and threw a back-to-back jumper, and scored the ball under the interference of Bale. 6 to 4.
The sun attacked, Guo Xu and Xiao Si played blocking and dismantling again, the opponent couldn't prevent it and continued to play, after finding a vacancy, Guo Xu distributed the ball to the middle, Xiao Si cut to face Grant Qiang, easily wiped into the basket with speed, and jumped up to score with one hand. 8 to 4.
When the Lakers attacked again, Tang Shuai shouted at Kobe Bryant on the sidelines: "Cooperate".
You can't win by relying on only one star to play singles in the low post, O'Neal can't win with a low-post shooting rate close to 60%, someone must break through with the ball, and someone must catch the ball and shoot from the outside. It's a common winning pattern in the NBA, and no one can break it.
Tang Shuai recuperated for more than 7 months because of bladder cancer, and in July this year, he signed a 5-year contract with the Lakers and officially made a comeback. It's a pity that it's not the right time for him to join the Lakers, the work pressure is huge, and now he has a headache every day to win.
As a famous coach who has won the championship, Tang Shuai doesn't want to mess up with the Lakers, but he knows that the Lakers have no play this year when he looks at the lineup, unless an inside star is traded in the middle of the term, at least someone must be able to guard the restricted area.
Now, the Lakers can only fight with their opponents to attack.
Bryant and Odom played a block and broke through the middle and were blocked by four people near the penalty area. The Suns formation looks like a man-to-man, but it's actually a 122 defense. Bryant played the right side of the Bell defense, the left side of the Marion defense, and two inside lines to shrink near the penalty area.
Bryant split the ball, and Grant hit a mid-range shot from the baseline, hitting the iron with a slight interference from Nen.
Marion grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, the Suns immediately counterattacked, Guo Xu advanced to the front court and changed direction past Esley, attracting Odom to defend the ball, and Xiao Si scored a one-handed smash.
Grant didn't come back, and mobility and Xiao Si couldn't compare at all...... (https:)
