Chapter 392: Little Fresh
In professional basketball, it is actually rare for an outside player to play alone with the ball.
In the era when big men on the inside dominated the NBA, it was the team's regular tactics for big men to play alone in key positions on the inside. Even if the singles tactics are designed for outside players, when playing singles, it is more likely to use back-to-back singles on the edge of the three-second zone.
The kind of one-on-one dribbling outside the three-point line, a few crotch dribbles, a few changes of direction and turns, and the best thing to shake people to the ground, and then calmly pull a jump shot or break layup, is really rare.
Of course, because of its rarity, outside players will become frequent visitors to various "five best balls" and "top ten goals", which is probably the key factor why outside players are more popular with fans.
The reason is that this kind of large-scale dribbling singles often turns the 5v5 game into 1v1, except for the two people who are one-on-one, the other eight people basically become decorations, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is a very inefficient way; Moreover, for the attacker, this is also the most physically demanding way to attack.
Therefore, even though Jordan and Iverson have a huge advantage when they are heads-up, in the game, they still choose to use tactics more, such as "covering", "blocking", "running", "blocking and dismantling", "catching and shooting", in addition to creating better opportunities, it also has the meaning of saving players' physical strength.
Of course, Kobe Bryant is an outlier.
In the original history, before Pau Gasol joined the Lakers, Kobe Bryant's offense rarely used tactics.
Generally speaking, as a shooting guard, you either use the coquettish running to shoot when you catch the ball, as Reggie Miller and Ray Allen did, or you use the cover of the big man to seek out misplaced single opportunities.
However, as soon as Kobe Bryant entered the NBA, he met O'Neal.
Want O'Neal to run from the three-second zone to the three-point line to cover him?
You're obviously thinking too much, and Jordan can't do it.
And with O'Neal in the three-second zone, even if Kobe Bryant asked the team's big forward to cover him, there was no room for breakthroughs.
Therefore, over the years, when Kobe Bryant has attacked with the ball, most of the times it is one-on-one, and rarely uses tactics, which is both his ability and his habit.
However, the Lakers without O'Neal are different, no one on the inside has the ability to attack independently, and they all need outside players to "feed the cake", and offensive tactics such as covering and blocking and dismantling have naturally become the team's first choice on the offensive end.
If there is no Lu Xiaofeng, Kobe Bryant will definitely have to change his style of play, and at the same time as attacking individually, he must organize his teammates more. In the original history, this season's Kobe Bryant hit a career-high in assist statistics.
And now, this role is going to be played by Lu Xiaofeng.
As an organizational defender, although Lu Xiaofeng has excellent singles ability, the habit he has developed for a long time makes him always think about using tactics and mobilizing teammates on the offensive end.
In fact, this awareness is basically the standard configuration of every playmaker, such as Arenas.
In the previous round, even if Arenas had no light on his face, when he turned around and attacked, he did not lose his mind and fight him alone, but used cover to break through Mime after getting rid of Lu Xiaofeng, and then scored a layup.
Therefore, although the fans at the scene and in front of the TV were expecting Lu Xiaofeng to face Arenas again, Lu Xiaofeng did not plan to let his teammates run back again.
As soon as he crossed the halfway line, Arenas couldn't help but press up, and trash talk erupted:
"Hey! Rookie! One more time! ”
"Don't you dare?"
"Are you afraid that Kobe will scold you?"
......
What made Arenas depressed was that Lu Xiaofeng seemed to take his trash talk as a deaf ear, his eyes swept over his teammates, and with a nod, Odom received the signal and ran over with small steps.
Playing blocking and dismantling with Lu Xiaofeng is Odom's favorite tactic, opponents are often afraid of Lu Xiaofeng's breakthrough and three points, and choose to let Odom go, when he receives the ball, he is often in an empty position, can shoot, can burst, can pass, don't be too easy (in fact, since he entered the NBA, playing has not been so easy), if it weren't for his three-point shot like the six-vein sword, and often wandering on the court, his average score per game has already broken through the 20 mark, and his data is not the current 15+10+5, You can be as long as Garnett.
Covering, dismantling, the most basic offensive coordination on the basketball court, NBA players, who wouldn't?
You use it, I use it, it's just "the way of the other, the other is the body", the Lakers use the same tactics as the Wizards, and the Wizards' defensive options are almost exactly the same as the Lakers, all of which are to delay on the inside line, and bypass the cover on the outside.
The difference is that Arenas chose to force Mim just now, while Lu Xiaofeng chose to pass.
Odom took a step forward and burst in the moment of receiving the ball, and of course Heywood stepped forward to make up for the defense, and the missed Mime received Odom's wonderful pass and easily gave him an assist.
"When things are done, you will go to your clothes, and you will hide your merit and fame."
After the pass, Lu Xiaofeng stood in place, watching Odom and Mim perform, then smiled slightly, spread his hands, shrugged, glanced at Arenas, and said lightly:
“so-easy!”
In this round, Lu Xiaofeng did not have any statistics in the account, but his role is very clear to all senior fans, let alone players and experts.
Therefore, Arenas will not be stupid to say something "You have the ability to score by yourself!" "- You think it's heads-up on the training ground?
"Good shot! Xiaofeng's ground-hitting pass, timing, strength, and height are just right! It's like leading Odom away. It's so beautiful! ”
Da Xu's explanation made those fans who were still a little disappointed because they didn't see Lu Xiaofeng's "face 0 shot", and they saw the mystery at once.
"Damn, there are more advanced ones! Gain knowledge! ”
"Nima, I only understood basketball today!"
"I'm used to seeing something exciting, so it's good to have a little freshness!"
......
The Lakers' defense finally succeeded once.
Arenas seems to have finally remembered that he is an organizational defender, of course, it is more likely that Lu Xiaofeng did not "go head-to-head" with him, so that he touched a "soft nail", and the "anger value" fell out.
Jamison used cover to find an opportunity, Arenas made a ground-hitting pass, avoiding Lu Xiaofeng's "gossip palm" and "whirlwind leg", and the basketball went to Jamison's hands.
Jamison seemed to catch a hot potato, and as soon as he caught the ball, he threw it towards the basket.
However, unfortunately, perhaps because this is Los Angeles, God is not on Jamison's side, this shot that seems to him to be nine out of ten is a sure throw, and it tosses on the basket several times, waiting for a few big black men to get impatient, but still run out.
"Rebound!"
This kind of interior attack, several "black and strong" are under the basket, huddled together, and there is no place for the small three-second zone, Lu Xiaofeng can only stand on the periphery and shout.
However, the so-called "snipe and clam fight, fisherman profits", several people rushed together, all reaching out to the basketball point in the air, but no one could grab it, and they flew out.
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were fast, and with a slight jump, he pocketed the basketball in one hand.
Landing and turning.
Walk you!
Wrong, it's "Aggro!" ”
Butler, who was out of position on the defensive end, ran over the middle line at some point, and Lu Xiaofeng pushed with both hands, and the basketball flew out.
Butler, who was unguarded, began to slow down after receiving the ball and dribbling two steps, and came up with a lazy one-handed split.
This wonderful pass finally added an assist to Lu Xiaofeng.
This time, everyone understood.
"Damn, that's so easy! I can score points if I go up! ”
"Of course, didn't O'Neill say that his grandmother can easily score when she goes up!"
"Cut, do you understand? That's talking about playing with Jordan! ”
"You don't understand! It's easier to follow Brother Feng! ”
"Damn, okay, you're awesome!"
