The Lakers can be said to be one of the most gorgeous teams in NBA history, from showtime to "OK Combo" are known for their strong offensive firepower, in the history of the Lakers, strong scorers emerge in an endless stream, so when they showed a strong desire to defend at the beginning of Game 5, the players on the court and the audience were taken aback, this is not a normal Lakers team.

Phil had a hard time, after the fourth loss, he carefully thought about the Trail Blazers' run-and-gun lineup, but found that the Lakers could not attack against attack, and pinning the hope of winning on the opponent's bad hand was not his style, and certainly not the Lakers' style all along. However, except for those fish belly teams in the league who are ready to compete for the top picking, there must really be no team in the league that will fall into the sky to eat, and they believe in their own strength more. This is especially true of Phil, who also knows that this may be the last card in the Trail Blazers' hands, so in order to beat the Trail Blazers, he must stop the opponent's run-and-gun tactics.

For this reason, Phil did not hesitate to reverse the Lakers' usual offensive style and began to play iron-blooded defensive tactics, which looked completely different from the original Lakers, and everyone on the sidelines widened their eyes. What the hell is the Lakers? Is it really the Lakers on a team that is filled with inside hand-to-hand combat, physical collisions, and all sorts of moves on the verge of fouling every round? Everyone felt that their eyes were blinded. Although the Lakers are not the kind of team that the Suns are desperate to attack, their offense is undoubtedly at the top of the league, not to mention Kobe Bryant, the league's top scorer......

Well, when everyone thinks of Kobe, he is like a defensive engineer entangled with Roy outside the three-point line, and the "lingering" action makes the referees a little unbearable, if it weren't for the playoffs now, the penalty standards are not so strict, Kobe Bryant will have to eat a personal foul nine times out of ten. Originally, there were some sporadic Trail Blazers fans who laughed and watched Kobe Bryant defend his idol like kraft candy, but soon they couldn't laugh anymore, because the big screen over the arena clearly captured Kobe's expression, and this scoring maniac looked serious, even a little hideous, and there was no reluctance at all.

Yes, that's Kobe Bryant, his stubborn personality doesn't allow him to accept defeat, so in order to win, he can do whatever the coach asks him to do. He's proud, but as long as he can win the game, he doesn't mind letting go of his pride, just like he is now tangling with Roy on the outside without any image. He doesn't look like a superstar worth twenty or thirty million, but more like a rookie who has just entered the league and needs to fight for his playing time, many times only rookies will do their best to complete this kind of hard task, but Kobe Bryant doesn't care, because this is the task given to him by the head coach.

His feelings for Phil are very complicated, with awe, resentment, depression and helplessness, but he never denies Phil's tactical attainments. Since he said that if he did this, he would have a good chance of defeating his opponent, then he would do it to the letter. Phil may have some problems with the handling of player relationships off the court, but he is definitely historical in terms of the construction of the team's tactical system, and Bryant is well aware of his ability, so he believes in his commands.

Not only Kobe, but also Fisher, Ariza, Vujacic and Bynum, who started the game at the same time, were all told by Phil before the game to do a good job of defense and consider offense on the premise of defending the opponent. If you don't defend the opponent, then continue to work hard, as for the offensive end, just use the team's simplest routine, or just give the ball to Kobe Bryant to play alone, anyway, you have to focus on the defensive end first. Seeing that Kobe Bryant had taken the lead, the willful Bynum could only obediently obey the coach's orders and form a barrier under the basket.

Such a 180-degree change from the Lakers caught the Trail Blazers off guard. After killing the opponent in the last game, McMillan once again sent a run-and-bomb lineup, hoping to replicate the previous miracle, but the Lakers who focus on the defensive end are not a joke, Fisher is slow but strong, Kobe Bryant has been selected for the best defensive team for eight seasons, Ariza is the outside gate that the Lakers focus on cultivating, Vujacic has the strength of the desperate Saburo, even the youngest Bynum has the physical conditions to become the pillar of the interior defense, it can be said that as long as the Lakers are willing, Their defense is no slouch for less. And now, at Phil's strong request, they quickly transformed into a predator, which caused a lot of trouble for the Blazers.

Ye Feng also has a deep understanding on the court, Vujacic and Ariza take turns to defend him closely, although it seems that it is easy to be whistled for fouls, but from their eyes, Ye Feng can see that he is determined to stop himself even if he fouls. And when he held the ball in the high post, he was surprised to find that he couldn't find a reliable starting point, and his teammates were all stared at it, and as long as he passed the ball, it was immediately a mistake. It's impossible to get rid of the defense by running, and the Lakers players are now trying their best to follow up with their physical strength, even if they encounter cover, they will desperately keep up, and if they can't keep up, their teammates will change defenses.

You know, run boom boom, the focus is not on the bomb, but on running, only continuous running can create a chance to shoot, if they are all standing still, it is a conventional half-court positional battle, even if the shot is accurate, it is not a run at all. Now the speed of the Trail Blazers has been forcibly suppressed by the Lakers, and they are completely unable to play the mercury-like offense in the last game, and even made 5 turnovers in the first quarter, and they were all converted into fast-break points by the Lakers. This is a rather dangerous sign, and if it is not handled well, this game will be a lot of luck for the Trail Blazers.

McMillan's face turned blue off the court, and he finally came up with a crazy little run-and-bomb lineup, but it was dissolved by the Lakers in an alternative way, which head coach would not be angry and frustrated? However, he also secretly admired Phil's audacity, you must know that the Lakers have always had an aristocratic arrogance, which can make the Purple and Gold put down their pride and roll into the quagmire, and then drag the opponent into it by the way, and then bite it in the most primitive way, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

But Phil doesn't care about any aristocratic demeanor, he just needs to win.
