The Suns attacked, Nash attracted the defense and passed to the bottom corner Bell, this time Iguodala made up the defense on the side, Bell passed the ball to 70 degrees, Mo Williams in the middle made up the defense, James Jones jumped three points and missed under the interference, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Even if Yao Ming can't defend near the restricted area, the Lakers' defense is not hopelessly rotten, the outside players are too strong in their individual ability, and after a season of running-in, the players can switch positions in the outside rotation, which is something brought by Hollins.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Grizzlies were two fat partners, Gasol Jr. and Zach Randolph. Before Randolph joined the Grizzlies, he was known as a defensive black hole, the worst 20+10 player, and everyone believed that he was a cancer.

As a result, relying on the Hollins defensive system, joint defense and perimeter rotation, the two fat men not only became loopholes, but Gasol Jr. also won the best defensive player once, and the two led the team to the Spurs in the playoffs.

In short, it is not an Achilles' heel that the big center does not go out of the penalty area, as long as the periphery changes positively, it can be compensated.

In the Lakers positional battle, Xiao Mo brought to the front court and passed to Rashid on the left first, and he ran away, Kobe Bryant played a no-ball cover with Yao Ming in the middle, got rid of Bell and cut to the left bottom line, and received a pass from Rashid.

Marion is two meters tall and plays as a power forward, with a lot of blocks, rebounds, and steals, but he has never been selected for the best defensive team, just because his height is a weakness, he has poor confrontation near the penalty area, and he can't interfere with the big man's pass. Inside strategy is Marion's most hated tactic.

O'Neal Jr. hurriedly let go of Yao Ming's change of defense, otherwise Kobe Bryant would be able to shoot after receiving the ball, this kind of "Hawks offense" style of play without the ball, the Suns had already learned last season, Iguodala, Kobe Bryant's internal cut, and external cutting can all rely on speed to play.

The biggest headache is that the sun can't break this move, because Yao Ming saw Kobe Bryant's outside cut and run, so he cut to the basket. O'Neal Jr. was led to the bottom line by Kobe, who half-turned and took a step sideways and passed the ball to O'Neal Jr.'s side to the middle.

Yao Ming squeezed Bell away, took the ball sideways, took a step forward, and smashed the ball with both hands. 5 to 3.

Yao Ming entered the basket, the guards didn't dare to foul to stop, in case he couldn't pull it, it was a 2+1, the foul was successful, and Yao Ming's free throw shooting rate was very high, which was equal to sending points.

O'Neal Jr. is near the penalty area, it takes time to turn, his height is at a disadvantage, and there is only one way to foul if he wants to prevent it. This move Duncan is not easy to defend, let alone O'Neal Jr.?

The Suns offense, also using the Hawks offensive routine, Nash first passed to Marion on the perimeter, and then he and O'Neal Jr. covered without the ball and cut the ball in the air.

After such a run, the baseline Nash received the ball and Yao Ming formed a misalignment, he changed direction and broke through successfully, and scored a backhand layup. 5 to 5.

The Lakers attacked, and the same routine was played again, Bale caught up with Kobe, and when he bypassed Yao Ming, he still had a small action of pulling people in his hands, but he was small, and the referee generally didn't blow it.

Yao Ming is still too realistic, he didn't learn Divac's stunts, and there is still room for improvement on the defensive end.

Regardless of whether the opponent is two meters tall or not, whoever dares to do it will immediately fall. He never felt ashamed to be put down by someone shorter than himself. What Divac taught Yao Ming in the team is how to change his height from 226 to 206 when he is defending, and he falls beautifully.

It was only in 2012 that the league got tired of it and introduced a tough fall-and-fake penalty rule. In addition to the first fake-fall warning, the athlete will be fined $5,000 for the entire regular season after that whenever the fake-hook is reconfirmed, with an additional fine of $5,000 on top of the previous fine for one offense, but $30,000 for the fifth fake-the-fall. If an athlete fakes more than 5 falls, the league will consider a suspension for the athlete.

After the new rules were determined, fans rarely saw a player as strong as an orangutan being lightly touched by a defender, a scene of 108,000 miles.

Bell catching up with Kobe Bryant does not mean that it is useful, Yao Ming and Rashid are standing outside the three-point line, Kobe Bryant can't break through on the right side, and he leans on Bell at 45 degrees near the penalty area, and turns around to the bottom line and throws a jumper.

Bale is already recognized as a super outside defender, tight and strong, but lacking athleticism, Kobe Bryant has no pressure to play someone like him, facing the shot, not far from the basket, perfect rhythm, hollow into the net. 7 to 5.

The Suns attacked, Nash drew the inside defense to the perimeter after blocking and dismantling, Bell received the ball and shot three points from the baseline, which was deflected under the slight interference of Yao Ming, and Kobe Bryant retreated to win the rebound.

TNT Radio's Barkley said: "The two stars of the Lakers are still full of tacit understanding, scoring consecutive points, and if the Suns can't prevent it, it will be difficult to win with 120 points, because the Lakers will score more points." Considering that both sides are in the Pacific Division, the Suns are likely to make the playoffs again in fourth place this season. It's so sad. ”

Smith smiled: "The league should really consider changing the schedule, the Western Nuggets and the Eastern Celtics both finished in the top three in the regular season last season, which will make some strong teams hope that the record is almost low, falling to sixth place, and it will be easier to advance than fifth place." ”

D'Antoni was distressed by this, but there was no way, the schedule was like this, and he could only try to help the team win.

On the defensive end, the Suns can't do anything.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming covered without the ball, the right side ran to receive a pass from Rashid, Bale followed, Kobe Bryant threatened three times in the frame, and the bottom line was followed after probing. He protected the basketball with his back, took a step to 45 degrees, leaned on Bell with his back, shook his right shoulder slightly, and turned to the baseline.

Bell had just been hit and couldn't jump after knowing it, and as soon as he saw Kobe turn around, he jumped up and prepared to block, but Kobe didn't jump, just took the ball and shook it, bumped into Bell, and pushed the ball to the basket.

The ball didn't go in, the referee whistled for a foul, and Bryant made a free throw.

Bryant hit two free throws to make it 9-5.

The Suns attacked, Nash relied on the cover to receive the ball on Yao Ming's side, and wanted to break through in a misposition, the Lakers players shrank to the vicinity of the restricted area, forming a bag, Nash split the ball out of the perimeter, and Marion made a three-point jumper in the middle and missed the basket.

Marion can shoot three-pointers, but only shots, and the shooting percentage is not very high, and it is inconsistent. When it feels good, Marion can score several times a game, and if it doesn't feel good, he is a blacksmith. Because of instability, Marion will not use three points as a conventional weapon after leaving the Suns, and it is not very efficient.

When he was in the Mavericks, Marion's three-point shooting basically degraded, and he didn't make less than one shot in a single game in many seasons.

Yang Rui knew that Marion's shooting was unstable, so he let the players let him and O'Neal Jr. shoot, these two people shot far away from the basket, the shooting rate would not be too high, and jamming Marion's air cutting route would reduce his efficiency.

Yao Ming easily won the rebound and passed it to Xiao Mo, who received it, and the Lakers battled in a positional battle.

Kobe Bryant relied on the cover to receive the ball, and then brought it to the low post on the right side, several Suns players felt uncomfortable, Marion was sandwiched, 70 degrees Rashid received the ball is an opportunity, 211 height has an advantage, the distance is far away to shoot, Marion will definitely be too late to turn around and pounce to defend.

O'Neal Jr. didn't dare to wrap up in the middle, Yao Ming was outside the three-point line, this is an All-Star triangle offense. In Yang Rui's previous life, no team of tridents was stronger than them, including the two-time Heat. Unless the opponent has a star with similar strength and is good at defense, he will have to be beaten.

Kobe Bryant calmly held the ball and singled, leaned his back for a while, turned and hit a jumper.

At 11-5, D'Antoni called a timeout.
