Although the Zen master is not the founder of the triangle offense, he is a master of using the triangle offense, it is this set of tactics that helped the Bulls win two triple championships, and the Lakers' championship last season was also given by him, it can be said that the triangle offense is the capital of the Zen master's life, and in his previous life, he used the triangle offense to help the team win two championships after Gasol joined the Lakers.

In fact, the triangle attack is not a tactic with a fixed routine, to be precise, it is a concept, simply put, it is to use the superstar's huge containment ability to create opportunities for teammates to strengthen the team as a whole. Kobe Bryant and O'Neal are actually the pinning points in the entire tactical system, even Jordan back then, these people are not limited by the opponent with any tactics, it is necessary to use multiple people to wrap up, and once the empty players have the opportunity to shoot and score.

But the current situation is that the 76ers used three players to guard off O'Neal and Kobe, a situation that Zen masters have not encountered in many years. In this way, the 76ers are two-on-three in other areas, as long as the players are a little diligent and run a few more steps, then the entire defensive system will be established, and the Lakers can be eaten to death.

Even if Kobe Bryant is here, I don't know where the 76ers dug up such a wonderful thing as Bell who can defend Kobe Bryant one-on-one, and with the speed of the 76ers, it is difficult to create an unguarded space for Kobe. Unlike O'Neal, as long as he can turn the interior offense and defense into one-on-one, he has a good chance of destroying the opponent. Grant's offensive range is still too narrow, do you consider putting a guy with an offensive range as wide as the sea?

The Zen master's eyes were on Horry, the big-hearted shooter. Horry is averaging just 5.2 points per game this season, but his range is far beyond the three-point line, and in the Zen master's opinion, Horry will definitely free O'Neal when he comes on the court. But what I didn't expect was that Brown was very stubborn in the inside, just to limit O'Neal's offense on the inside, Horry, you can shoot on the outside, anyway, Mutombo and Makloch are on the bar with O'Neal in this game, what can you do with me?

Moreover, the 76ers' offense is also very sharp, no, to be precise, Iverson's offense is very sharp, every time he gets the ball, he rushes directly inside, even if it is the behemoth O'Neal in front of him, he is fearless. No matter how many times he was knocked to the ground, he still did the same in the next offensive round, and he did everything in his power to get the ball into the basket.

With Iverson's fearless charge, by the time there were 3:23 left in the first quarter, O'Neal had already committed two personal fouls, which bodes well for a player who often has to bear the onslaught of opponents under the basket. Iverson had 10 points and two assists by the time he was off the court, and he had defined himself as an attacker in this game, scoring all 10 points inside the line, including two free throws.

Chang Wei couldn't help but think of this battle in his previous life, when the Lakers were in full swing, no one thought that the 76ers could actually win the first game, and the key to that game was Iverson. Although his arrival has changed a lot of things, Iverson's attitude has not changed, after all, he is still the only player in the starting lineup with explosive scoring ability, if he does not step up, the 76ers' offense will be paralyzed in an instant, and there is no point in defending the OK combination.

When the 76ers switched to the bench lineup, Zen Master replaced O'Neal, but still kept Kobe Bryant on the court. First, Kobe is much younger than O'Neal, and secondly, he only needs to play against Bell most of the time, and O'Neal is under the basket against Mutombo and Mark Lodge, the physical exertion is a bit serious, and it is appropriate to keep Kobe Bryant on the court to continue to cut points.

But the Zen master forgot one thing, the 76ers only had Iverson one real scoring point in the starting lineup of this game, which means that the other offensive players are still sitting on the bench, how can they not indulge themselves after holding back for most of the quarter? Especially the two guys, Reed and Lewis, turned on the scoring mode as soon as they got on the court, the Lakers rotation lineup couldn't stop them at all, and Kobe's crazy scoring couldn't stop the offensive firepower of the two of them.

At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers took a slight lead at 37-32, thanks to three consecutive three-pointers from Lewis in the final minute. Kobe Bryant's scoring ability is really strong, but he is not good at three-point shooting, and the Lakers' rotation lineup does not have three-point guns, and piecemeal three-point shots can't fight with the 76ers to attack, and it's already very good to be 5 points behind.

The Zen master had no choice but to ask O'Neal to open up space on the inside as much as possible before the start of the second quarter, otherwise the team would really have to consider scoring from the outside. With Mutombo's athleticism, he can defend the offense of a small player from the mid-range first, and then shrink back to protect the basket without delaying on either side, which makes the Lakers very uncomfortable.

O'Neal also has a hard time, and there are still a few interior players in the league who can barely wrestle with him, but they all have to take care of the defense of the Lakers attackers at the same time, and it is impossible to focus all their energy on fighting him. However, this time the 76ers did it, Makloch could go all out against him, Mutombo was in charge of filling in the gaps, and O'Neal himself could not immerse himself in singles, he had to take into account the workings of the team's tactical system, so that the two sides were not far apart.

Although the 76ers used two people to defend O'Neal, their offense did not fall, this game Iverson showed a good competitive state at the beginning, the shooting percentage was quite high, and the team scored up to 4 points per round, with Iverson's firepower, the 76ers had no problem coming up with two people to defend full-time, anyway, their interior line is known for defense, Lewis? People basically don't see him as an inside player......

However, now that the head coach has given the order, O'Neill can do it even if he can't, in fact, for a player like him who is full of confidence in himself, it is completely inconsequential to be restrained by the opponent for a while, and they believe that they can teach the opponent a good lesson in the next game, so as not to treat me as a sick cat if the tiger does not exert his power.

But O'Neal still has some small apprehensions in his heart, he was full of confidence in himself at the beginning of the game, but he didn't expect that the opponent really limited himself in the first quarter, so will the next three quarters of the game be a repeat of the 12 minutes of the first quarter?
