Chapter 63: The First Small Forward in the West?

The Dallas Triumph is clearly not as strong as it is on paper, and the Mavericks and Warriors are very similar, both are teams that are excellent on paper, but they just can't play results. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Of course, there are reasons for this, such as weak interior line, poor defense, too much reliance on individual ability, coach cheating, etc......

Zhang Yu felt that these three people were all big brushes, maybe each of them was very strong, but he didn't feel that these three people had condensed their combat power into one, and their appearance was the best portrayal of these three people.

The "Dallas Three Heroes" do have a heart to compete for the boss, and later they didn't really turn against each other for women, it was just a fuse.

Kidd has always been a ball bully as a young man, and he wants to feel like he's in control.

Jim Jackson was also a possessive man, and he went on to become the league's most famous tramp, changing teams every year on average. If it is due to luck alone, this obviously cannot be explained, it can only be said that his possessiveness has affected the unity of the dressing room, and naturally no team will take him in for a long time.

Mashburn is also unwilling to be lonely, he also has a heart to be the boss, and he is not willing to be only the second or even the third.

This is interesting, three possessive people are together, and no one's ability can overpower the other two, everyone has abilities that the other can't match, and they all have some flaws that need to complement each other.

At this time, their personalities made the three of them not form a complementary favorable situation, but turned into a secret intrigue, and finally broke out completely on the difficulty of women and became a laughing stock.

Zhang Yu didn't go toe-to-toe with Fan Maniac on the court, one is that his talent advantage is too obvious, and more importantly, he doesn't want to embarrass the Lakers, he is willing to accommodate other people's playing styles for the sake of the overall situation, which is his return to the Lakers.

Van Exel, on the other hand, felt that Zhang was still young and thought that he would not be able to surpass him in two or three years.

As a result, the two did not speak at all off the court, but they were willing to accommodate each other's bizarre situation to a certain extent on the court.

The two of them can now form a certain complement, and with Ceballos not having a heart to be the boss, the Lakers seem to be more like a Big Three combination than the Mavericks.

Of course, Jerry West also puts a lot of pressure on the players, he has a very strong control of the team, and coach Harris is also a famous coach, these two can control the team, so the Lakers can play more than the Mavericks, even if they don't even have a really reliable center now.

"We don't need a center!" Harris said it doesn't matter if they don't have a center, they just try to get up to speed.

Harris isn't the top coach in the league, but one thing he does better than most coaches is that he knows how to take prescriptions and he knows how to improvise.

No matter what ingredients the Lakers give him, he can build a game that fits the team's existing roster based on those materials.

That's Harris's greatest strength, and while he doesn't have the tactics that people think of at the mention of himself, he doesn't seem to have any labels other than his gray hair.

But he can play any tactic, whether it is an NCAA team, an NBA team, or even a national team, he can adjust the appropriate style of play according to his lineup, which is his best skill.

The Lakers don't have a real center right now, so he simply lifted the team's speed to play an open offensive system, strengthen the offensive speed, increase the frequency of defensive counterattacks, and intersperse the baseline, and give full play to the athleticism and style characteristics of the three outside players.

As for defense, the Lakers mainly play pressing-man-to-man defense, emphasizing the need to snuff out the offense before the opponent shoots, using the pressing defense to make the opponent's mistakes, increase the steal rate, and strive to limit the opponent's score while providing water for their team's fast break. At the same time, strengthen the perseverance and ability to pick up bullets and return to the chamber, that is, to actively fight for frontcourt rebounds to offset the embarrassment of lack of low-post offense.

This style of play is still being explored for the time being, but the three outside linemen who are the main players of the team all like this style of play that tends to attack from the outside.

Although this is contrary to the current mainstream style of play, the Lakers can at least give full play to their ability to three strong points, and will not produce the embarrassment that 1+1+1 is far less than 3.

This can be seen from the starting lineup of the Lakers today: Van Exel, Ceballos, Zhang Mao, Bison Dele, Elden Campbell.

Campbell has always played power forward, but this year Harris simply kept him at 260 pounds and switched to center, and then let Bison Dele, who was traded from the Clippers, play the No. 4 position.

This Bison Dele didn't have much to praise for the Clippers last season, but in another time and space, he started to play at a level from this season and made a lot of contributions to the Bulls dynasty.

His most famous season was with the Chicago Bulls in '96-97, and when Rodman was suspended and Langley's form declined due to injury, it was Bison Dele who stepped up and propped up the Bulls' interior line, and he was credited with the Chicago Bulls' fifth championship.

Today, Bison Dele showed his ability, he is not inferior to Campbell in terms of offense alone, and he is also excellent in terms of athleticism.

His style of play is a bit like the low-profile version of Griffin in later generations, he has a little beast flavor when he plays, he is good at receiving the ball and hitting the basket with the frame, and he also has a mid-range shot that is not working from time to time, and he plays with passion and rhythm.

The Lakers' small-ball style of play is somewhat similar to Denver in the 80s, and then Nuggets coach Doug Mo is the founder of NBA small-ball play, although he had similar styles of play before him, but it was basically short-lived, and there was no example of a team's offensive system maintained for several years.

For the first time, Doug Mo brought this iconoclastic tactic to life in the NBA, when he took over from Donnie Walsh in 1980, and the Denver team under his leadership was immediately branded as a run-and-gun team in the league.

This style of coaching was more offensive than defense, which was an outlier in the NBA at the time, so Doug Mo's coaching style was often criticized, but it was deeply loved by fans, after all, the small ball was really good to play.

The Lakers' current lineup has no problem playing small ball, and it is a good option for transition.

Even Jerry West agrees with this, in fact, the Lakers played a good show in the 80s, and if strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a kind of small-ball tactics, at least it can be touched.

In the second half, Zhang didn't limit himself to back-to-back or face-frame attacks, he would look for opportunities to use his team-mates' cover to get rid of Mashburn, as he found it easier to score.

It has to be said that the Mavericks did a terrible job of blocking people, and Zhang Mao was able to run out of shooting opportunities easily.

Kidd was not the old monster at this time, and his defense was far from airtight, at least he was powerless in the face of Fan's madness, and his offensive efficiency was a mess.

The Mavericks' interior line also has almost no offensive power, and the Lakers' interior line is already terrible this season, but their style of play can avoid the weakness of the interior line to a certain extent, but the Mavericks' interior line is really CBA-level, and they can't do it if they want to trick themselves.

In the third quarter of the game, Zhang Mao once again scored 7 points and 2 assists in a piecemeal way, he had no intention of comparing with Mashburn whose data was better, he put his mind on how to win the game.

It's not that he has a good sense of the big picture, it's that he knows that if he wins a game, no matter how bad his stats are, he will be praised by the media after the game.

One is because he is young, and the other is because he is facing the top five small forwards in the league, and no matter how he plays, as long as he can get good statistics and help the team win, then the media and fans will be infinitely tolerant and praise him.

Just like in the movie "King of Destruction", as long as Xing Ye is not killed by the senior brother, it is a truth that he wins.

So Zhang Fu, who has no pressure at all, plays very smartly, he knows that as long as he wins the game and his personal data is not bad, then the media will definitely praise him to the sky, and the fans will praise him endlessly.

Marshburn is the opposite, not only does he have to win this game, but he also has to get much better stats than Zhang Zhu to be considered normal, and if he wins a little less, he loses.

But Zhang Fu is too cunning, his defense is too bad, and the team is still behind by a big score at the moment, which makes his mentality collapse.

Marshburn fell into an immature state of mind, seeing that the difference between the two teams was getting wider and wider, and Zhang Fu's data was getting closer and closer to his own, he began to become more obsessed with singles, and he must overwhelm Zhang Zhu in personal data.

This kind of psychology is not difficult to analyze, obviously he feels that the game can no longer be won, but in terms of personal data, he must not be worse than Zhang Mao. Not only can he not be bad, he has to be much higher than the opponent, only in this way can it appear that losing is the responsibility of his teammates, and it has nothing to do with him, because his data is good!

That's how the Dallas trio behaves when they're headwinds, and Kidd isn't much smarter.

If he had been so smart, he wouldn't have won a championship with his thigh at the end of his career.

The current Kidd is a small tumor, and he will still be an old tumor in the future, and only when he is too old to fight can he become an old monster at that time!

Fan Maniac perfectly illustrated the ability of no one to stop him when he went crazy in the second half, and he scored 13 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and the Lakers hit a 36:20 attack wave in this quarter, which directly took away the bullshit Dallas three Jays in waves.

"I don't feel that bad, do you?" Zhang Qi really didn't feel how difficult this game was when he left the game, and then looked at Mashburn in the distance, and secretly thought in his heart: "This is the No. 1 small forward in the West in the mouth of the media?" Phew! ā€
