What kind of team is a champion team?

Harris and Zen Master may have similar answers, but the whole league knows what to do in the first step of building a team - of course, first find a star who values victory enough and has enough individual ability to play a role as the core of the team. Once this step is completed, a team is halfway built.

In the second step, the head coach should create a suitable system for him in this link, and the team management should find a helper with a suitable style for him in the core, and after this link is completed, the skeleton of a championship team will be built.

But for this well-built team to win the championship, there is still an important third step to take - optimizing the role players and team system in the playoffs, as well as testing the coaching ability of the head coach, and even requiring the core players to upgrade their own abilities, so that it can truly become a championship team.

The Lakers have undoubtedly completed the third step, and the Clippers have just completed the second step, their skeleton has just been built, but they have not had time to optimize, the test of the regular season is smaller, this structure can still hold up, but in the face of mature Lakers, the Clippers' structure began to be unable to hold up.

The Zen master excitedly put the players on the feet, which shows that they can't prevent the impact of the Lakers and Zhang Mao without using unconventional methods.

Finley was embarrassed, he wasn't dirty enough to get on his feet, and he wouldn't do that.

Zhang Wei is even less worried about someone comparing himself with "dirty", as long as he takes out his name and puts it on the scale, he should have won.

But Finley is not qualified to experience his foot skills, which even Kobe Bryant is not qualified to enjoy at this stage, unless he stomps on O'Neal's face, and he will not test the power of this move until the fourth quarter is deadlocked.

After the Lakers took a timeout, they began to rely on Kidd and Zhang on the offensive end, which was also a natural shift after Kidd matured.

Let's talk about Kidd first, he can use his physical advantages, as well as upper-mid-level explosiveness and speed, plus top-level ball sense and rhythm, break through again and again and then burst to Zhang Qi or Jones, so that these two can easily launch an attack, or score directly.

Jones has always played the role of the team's No. 2 finisher, but unlike Finley who was always active on the baseline and wing, Jones's range of activities is much larger, he will randomly pick his position according to the position of Kidd and Zhang Yu, and after getting the basketball, unlike Finley who must shoot and shoot, he can continue to break through with the ball according to his own judgment, and the Lakers will be more flexible on the outside offense.

Not to mention Zhang Zhu's key ball ability, excellent response ability and passing ability can make the Lakers' offense easier, and it can also make it easier for Lakers' offensive players to score, if Kidd and Jones are in good enough shape, Zhang Zhu doesn't even have to play to his full strength.

That's the way it was in the first quarter, after Zhang Ju personally led a wave of rhythm, he then completely entered the role of watching the play, allowing Kidd and Jones to take turns to attack, and he became a bystander.

The Clippers' defense began to crumble, and the Lakers' offense grew smoother, and the margin quickly widened to double digits.

The Zen master had no choice but to use the method of killing chickens and eggs on O'Neal, although he knew that it was too much of a fat man's physical strength to let O'Neal face Mutombo's defensive attack, but Cassel and Kobe Bryant couldn't stand up to help, they didn't rely on O'Neal to talk about what would happen in the fourth quarter, and eighty percent were broken down by the Lakers in the first half.

At this time, Harris showed the level of winning the "Best Coach" for two consecutive years, and the average coach will take out any tricks little by little, and only change them after the opponent cracks his own tactics. But this year's Harris wasn't going to play like that, and as soon as O'Neal scored two points, Mason was replaced, and Zhang was put on the top four.

Zhang was a little dissatisfied, because in the regular season, Harris would ask his opinion first when he wanted to replace him in the No. 4 position. If he doesn't want to go inside, Harris can only do whatever he wants. But today, Harris didn't ask Zhang Mao, and directly threw him to the fourth position.

"Okay, I'll give you a face today."

Zhang was dissatisfied, but he knew that the playoffs were not the time to play tricks.

Harris is a little more iron-fisted at this time, so he can be regarded as having the temperament of the "best coach", otherwise he is really no different from a puppet.

This change of formation is very obvious to the Clippers' restraint, Zhang Qi does not have Mason's strength and low post defense, but the Lakers don't need him to be hard anal, Harris wants his maneuverability far beyond the interior to target O'Neal.

Mutombo's bypassing, coupled with Zhang Mao's sneak attacks from time to time, the Lakers can make O'Neal's offense more difficult without affecting the strategy of freezing Kobe and Kassel.

In the last three minutes of the first quarter, Zhang Zhu cut off the basketball from O'Neal twice, and both when O'Neal received the basketball and was about to attack the basket directly, who made the two move at a rate like a snake meeting a cat.

O'Neal has the same feeling of eating as Cassel, and Mutombo's defense around the front has already made him anxious, and every time he receives a basketball, he has to struggle to complete the goal. At this time, if there is still a guy who is hiding in the grass and rushes up to break the ball the moment he catches the ball, it will be difficult for him to protect the ball, at least he will not be able to complete the shot in the first place.

Harris's hand is very deadly, as long as O'Neal is delayed by Zhang Zhu's sneak attack, Mutombo will immediately form a bag with Zhang Zhu, and the Lakers' defense will also complete the contraction at the same time, at this time, O'Neal will not talk about shooting, even passing will become extremely difficult.

In the last three minutes of the first quarter, O'Neal's 2 turnovers came like this, he was not prepared to deal with this kind of defense at all, and the fat man is now confused.

The Zen master is also helpless on the sidelines, although in his heart this situation is easy to solve, as long as either Kassel and Kobe can stand up, but these two people are choked to death by the Lakers, and it is difficult for the fat man to connect the ball, what can you let him do? It really has nothing to do with O'Neill!

"Are we going to do it alone?"

"Why don't you run tactics?"

"We don't have any tactics, we don't even see pick-and-rolls."

“……”

Clippers fans are starting to complain that Zen masters don't have a game anymore, but that can't be blamed on the lack of off-ball cover and receiving tactics for the Clippers.

First of all, O'Neal isn't a great screener, if he's not lazy. While the quality of his coverage is good, his ability to respond is much inferior. Once out of the low post, he was nothing in Mutombo's eyes.

Moreover, Harris is not at all worried about the Clippers' screen and response tactics, and he is confident that the Lakers' help defense and connection speed are enough to turn these screens and responses into cocooning and stinky chess.

Now, the best way to deal with the Lakers is to simply and directly "block and dismantle" and "single", and if you play too many tricks, you will really reap the consequences.

The Lakers often want their opponents to play more complicated, so that they can play their basketball IQ and tacit understanding.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers successfully turned the score into 32:20, and the huge advantage made the attributes of the whole Clippers team begin to decline, and even O'Neal's state dropped to 95, a drop of 4 points.

But there is also a person's attributes that have risen instead of falling, and Zhang Yu found out during the break that Kobe, a little bastard, had actually risen to 86.

"What's going on, S· M attributes? Does he want to be the main character? Want to get things done? ”

Zhang Yu is finally a little unsettled, this is the first time he has seen someone other than himself in a state of adversity and being beaten up, and there is a situation where the attribute does not rise but falls, isn't this the exclusive attribute of the protagonist?

Well, that's his habitual forgetfulness.

Iverson was in this situation at the beginning, but the team's strength was too bad, and it was impossible to fight back; Jordan is a typical representative of playing against the wind, and there are countless classic battles that cannot be counted; Even his own subordinates, Ginobili, are good at playing against the wind, but they don't have a chance to perform.

As for Kobe, he is a little different from these people, because he is an example of a downwind who can also play with a headwind attribute, but again, he has no chance to show it.

The Zen master figured out some of Kobe's special attributes, and O'Neal had to rest in the second quarter, so he simply let Kobe stay on the court and play blindly.

He can guess how Kobe Bryant will play in this situation, this is the embodiment of the Zen master's scheming, he knows that Kobe Bryant will definitely play a few blind games after playing on the court in this situation, but he does not have the slightest reminder, and he has a completely laissez-faire attitude.

The reason is very simple, Kobe Bryant is better to play like this, if the Clippers are pulled away by the Lakers because of Kobe's brainless performance, he can completely throw the pot on Kobe Bryant after the game; But if Kobe Bryant made a mistake and narrowed the difference with magical convulsions, it would also be due to his good use of others.

What Kobe Bryant's shooting talent will be has always been a question in another time and space, but more people tend to say that he is a nerve knife with super high training intensity.

A shooting nerve knife player, if there is ultra-high-intensity training as a blessing, will obviously come to the answer - "increased chance of convulsions", this is the difference between Kobe's shooting and the general nerve knife.

In the second quarter, the two teams started a big battle off the bench, Kobe Bryant faced Starks, who beat him four times last year, and finally turned over this time, and actually used a magical 2+1 and two three-pointers to score 9 points in two minutes, and the Lakers only Starks scored two points in three minutes, and the Clippers narrowed the gap to 5 points in one go.

Harris couldn't count Kobe Bryant's sudden convulsions, and Starks did get old, so he could only replace Zhang Yu in advance.

Now there is another question, how is Zhang Mao's shooting talent?

There is no doubt that in addition to his inconsistent shooting during the period of weight gain in the NBA, Zhang Mao's shooting was better than that of his bigger peers, even in the middle school period when he did not receive a system. His shooting talent is Stable plus a super high pumping buff. The virtual training system allows him to train more intensively than Jordan, which allows him to perform consistently with a high chance of pumping.

As soon as Zhang Qi came on the field, he completed 2+1 on Finley's head. Now, even if Zhang Qi doesn't have his eyes on the basket, he can find the target and shoot the ball into the net by feeling. Although this is a skill that most scorers can master, the success rate divides these players into three, six, nine and so on, and Zhang is undoubtedly the one standing at the top of the pyramid.

Kobe Bryant was finally fortunate to take turns with Zhang Zhu in his second season, but the good times did not last long, this scene only lasted three rounds, and when Jones was also replaced, Kobe's lack of back-to-back offense immediately allowed him to be pulled away by Zhang Zhu in terms of success rate.

Jones is very good at breaking through the defensive frame, and if Kobe Bryant hadn't felt a convulsion during this time, it would have been difficult to gain too many advantages even if he was head-to-head with Jones.

Zhang Qi is different, he is very familiar with Finley's defense, whether it is a breakthrough in the face frame, or a back-to-back offensive crushing, including a dry-pull jump shot after blocking and dismantling, he is sure to make Finley his single sparring partner.

Soon, the coaches of both teams decided to increase the difficulty of the two on the offensive end, and the bag defense was laid out almost at the same time.

But this makes the gap between the two more conspicuous, at this stage, Kobe Bryant has no ability to carry his back, his face frame breakthrough also lacks changes, and his skills are ultimately restricted by his imperfect age, and the offensive efficiency under high pressure is far less than that of Zhang Fu, who has a dual advantage in body and technology.

Secondly, there is also a big gap between the two people's passing vision and ball sharing ability, and Zhang Yu has the ability to pass the ball even in the face of the three's bag. But Kobe Bryant is a little stumbling in the face of the double bag, after all, the nickname of "Peter Pan" has just been obtained, and the nickname of "Black Mamba" is still only in the stage of "Little Viper", and even the waist and abdomen strength that was later praised has not really been practiced. At this time, Kobe Bryant still has too many things to optimize on the offensive end.

The Lakers began to firmly control the pace of the game with Zhang Mao's individual ability, and Kobe Bryant missed consecutive shots and couldn't help his teammates score, so the Zen master could only replace O'Neal as an offensive arrow.

Harris immediately switched all the starters, and the game returned to the rhythm that left the Clippers helpless in the first quarter. Except for O'Neal, who can use his physical advantage to score points, the Clippers' offense is basically in a state of relying on the sky, and the other four are unable to convert their attack power into consistent scoring.

After Bryant went off the break, the Clippers outside line was even more unavailable.

Zhang Yu didn't want to stay any longer at this time, and at 5 minutes and 26 seconds in the second quarter, Koala Baby scored 4 points with free throws, quickly bringing the difference to 13 points, and then assisted Jones to score a three-pointer, and the Lakers widened the difference to 16 points with a wave of small climaxes.

The Clippers didn't have much chance to turn the tables at this time, the score was fixed at 63:46 in the first half, and the 17-point advantage made the Zen master only sigh except for shaking his head, who let them only get the fourth place, and meet the Lakers too early, this is a situation of nine deaths and a lifetime.

O'Neal said he did his best, and in the first half, he still scored 19 points for his team under Mutombo's defense and Zhang Mao's sneak attack, and his 50% shooting percentage was not bad, but unfortunately his teammates provided him with little help.

At this time, the fat man couldn't help but miss Hardaway, and the immediate combat power of Kobe Bryant was still a lot worse.

With such a point difference, there is no need to watch the game in the second half, Harris's strategy in the third quarter is mainly to rely on defense to consume the physical strength of the Clippers players, especially O'Neal's, and they have become a defensive counterattack style of play.

At the end of the first half, the Zen master could guess the strategy used by Harris in the second half, and he knew better that the situation in front of him was impossible for the Clippers to turn over - 17 points behind, the gap in strength, and Zhang Zhu's personal ability, these three elements add up, not to mention that the current Clippers can't get back, even if Kobe Bryant is replaced by the peak Jordan, they want to turn defeat into victory at most a three-percent chance.

In the second half, the Clippers had to let go of the offense if they wanted to chase the score, but the Lakers could get a lot of counterattack opportunities as long as they defended solidly.

Even if Kobe Bryant is replaced by the peak Jordan, the Clippers will recover some points in the third quarter, but in the fourth quarter, once O'Neal's physical strength turns on the red light, the Lakers' chances of winning will still increase significantly.

Therefore, the Zen master still insists on his own idea, unless Kobe Bryant can have more than eighty percent of Jordan's offensive ability at his peak, otherwise this OK combination may be able to win by playing supersonic and Spurs, but when encountering the current Lakers, Jazz, and Bulls, it must still be a situation of nine deaths.

Zhang Fu's performance in the third quarter confirmed the Zen master's prediction, the Lakers who defended with all their strength made the Clippers' offense basically in a state of no thunder or rain, but several counterattacks by Koala Baby were red, and when the point difference was widened to 20+, even Kobe's ability value slipped to 83 points.

In such a battle situation, Zhang Zhu is too lazy to use his newly practiced killing moves to deal with someone, Kobe Bryant is not qualified to let him play for the time being, and it is almost the same as replacing Malone and Jordan.
