Chapter 352 [Tactic No. 23]
Lopez finally won the jump ball once, and it was dialed to Hayes. Hayes paused to send the ball out with both hands, passed between Bynum and Butler, and Gerard Wallace received the ball and Gasol fought for speed! Wallace rushed into the box, jumped high and scored with a one-handed smash! 2 to 0.
The Bobcats came up and gave the Lakers a dismount, playing with the momentum and determination to win.
Laker Fisher dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Kobe, who hoisted it high to Gasol. Lopez followed Bynum, and the task of defending Gasol was given to Hayes.
The main reason for the Lakers' loss in Game 3 was that the interior players were stifled by the Bobcats' tough defense. Hayes is the key in the key, he rarely dismisses blocks, but no one denies his defensive prowess.
Hayes placed one hand on Gasol's waist, and his fingers poked lightly from time to time. The referee's vision is blocked and he can't see his movements clearly, and even if he does, this slight physical contact will generally not be whistled for a foul. But such subtle movements can put pressure on Gasol's psyche.
Hayes defensively wasn't clean either, and Gasol had learned it well. Although Hayes is not bad enough to stick out his black foot when others jump shots, he is good at gently inserting people's waist eyes when others jump shots, and people who are afraid of itching will be very awkward when they encounter this action, knowing that he will not really hit a heavy hand, the shooting action is deformed, and Gasol just happens to be a person with itchy flesh. If you don't jump and dribble to break through to the inside, Gasol is not Hayes's opponent at all, Hayes is stable in the lower handicap, and his back defense and breakthrough defense are first-class.
The coach has already arranged the tactics, let's fight. Gasol dribbled with his back to the ball and turned to the middle for a jumper. He didn't turn to the baseline because in the middle of the pitch Hayes would be easy for the referee to see if he used small moves.
Hayes also thought of this, and jumped with all his strength to block it, but failed to block it. 2 to 2.
was scored by Gasol, and Hayes was not in a hurry, and smiled slightly. Gasol used a little back for this goal, which shows that his defense has taken a toll on him. If you always turn to the middle and use a step-back jumper, it is difficult to ensure efficiency.
Rondo dribbled quickly through the half, and the Bobcats played very quickly today, which was also D'Antoni's arrangement. Use speed to drag down the Lakers' interior line and win with fast attack.
Rondo also has an advantage, and that is speed, which is the number one speed in the Bobcats. If it weren't for this specialty, how would this person who only relied on layups get a triple-double? However, the game against the Lakers did not require Rondo to play his own strengths, and the Lakers used 122 joint defense to surround the restricted area.
Fisher put two more steps away. The nickname "Long does not vote" is not for nothing, and he still does not throw after two steps, because the opponent does not defend and he is not sure. Rondo passes to Hayes at the top of the arc and runs inside. Butler was more closely with Hayes today, and it would have been difficult for Hases to catch the ball if it wasn't for Lopez to cover.
Bobcats' two interior players have been pulled up to the top of the post, leaving only Wallace to hover in the low post. The Lakers' joint defense was broken, and Gasol could only pull to the outside to change the defense of Hayes. Gasol's footwork can't be compared to Hayes's, but Jackson has made it clear that the main defense of the Bobcats is the rest of the defense, and the only way to deal with Hayes is to change the defense.
'It seems that the last 20 assists are a deterrent, and they are now more afraid of me passing the ball than I am to score individually. Hayes said to himself. He lowered his center of gravity, stepped down the dribble, changed direction past Gasol on the right side, and hit a pull-up jump shot from inside the three-point line. 4 to 2.
After the goal, Hayes quickly returned to the defense and shouted at his teammates: "Play the No. 23 tactic!" ”
The Lakers also heard what Hayes said. Tactic number 23? Do they have so many tactics to play?
Tactic No. 23 refers not to the 23rd suit, but to Jordan's tactic. Jordan has only one set of tactics that are suitable, that is, teammates to cover and work alone infinitely! Hayes looked at the opponent's defense and was ready to pay tribute to Jordan with this game.
The Lakers still played inside offense and handed the ball to Gasol again. This time, Hayes not only resisted Gasol, but also vaguely pushed him out. Gasol turns and misses a jumper.
Hayes defended Gasol with the basket, and Bynum alertly stuck Lopez behind him and grabbed the rebound.
'God finally gave me a chance to perform, I'll deduct it!' Bynum took the rebound, didn't make any feints, and immediately forced a jump, ready to dunk with both hands. Lopez jumped around the side and jumped up, his right arm accurately picked up the ball, Bynum's dunk was destroyed, and the ball hit his body and went out of the baseline when it fell, Bobcat backcourt ball!
"It's beautiful. Bynum was about to do a slam dunk, only to hear Lopez yell, 'Bynum, your mom is calling you home for dinner!' 'A slap to cover the ball!' Yu Jia, the commentator of the imperial court Wutai, shouted passionately.
Another commentator, Zhang Lili, said: "Bynum jumped too quickly, if he shook it first, it might not be covered, this ball is unreasonable." I found that Lopez has improved a lot in strength this season, and he is not afraid of confrontation, but the rebounds are still a little worse. ”
The Bobcats attacked the front court, and Hayes shook off Butler to catch the ball under Lopez's cover. Gasol immediately defended it, and Hayes took a step laterally, and it was a three-pointer when he pulled it up.
Gasol was right in front of him, but he thought Hayes would rely on his speed and technical superiority to break through, but he didn't expect to make a jumper. So I didn't jump, I just raised my hand.
Swish! The ball hollows into the net. 7 to 2.
Hayes hit by surprise. He has a good grasp of Gasol's psychology. Every time the two face Hayes, they attack with the ball, and Gasol will definitely defend the breakaway.
The Lakers attacked, and the fans chanted Kobe's name. Hayes scored back-to-back points, and fans also hoped that Bryant would step up and return the favor. Most fans don't care about tactics, and the most they want to see is the two stars splitting each other.
Looking at Hayes's grinning defense, Kobe Bryant's heart swelled with a strong **. 'I scored so many points in the last game, but this one is an inside attack? This old KFC man is too stupid! If I don't play tactically at this time, he will have to say that I affect the whole team's tactics, as if it is because my team is behind. Forget it, I'll play according to the tactics he said and see if I can win the Bobcats. ’
The Lakers still played to Gasol on the inside, and this time the defender was replaced by Lopez, and Hayes went to defend Bynum. This is a change that is good for the bobcat. Hayes defends Bynum and doesn't have to follow. If the Lakers can't shoot the basketball, he can better protect the backcourt rebounds and launch a fast break in time. And Bynum is easier to defend than Gasol, and Hayes can also maintain more physical strength on the offensive end.
Gasol dribbled with his back, squeezed twice, and suddenly passed to Butler, who was open to the baseline. Butler burst into the basket with the ball, and he was very explosive, jumping up and dunking with one hand. 7 to 4.
Hayes simply didn't go up to make up for it. Pick up the basketball and serve the baseline ball. The Bobcats are not prepared to rely on defense to win. Like the Bobcats, the Lakers have too many offensive points, whether it is Gasol or Kobe, there will be a lot of gaps, and it is extremely difficult for these two people to defend. Butler is also a ruthless character. After arriving at the Lakers, he can also maintain an average of about 15 points per game.
The two sides have tacitly adopted each other in every game.
Hayes pulled up the high post to attack. The Lakers have two big men on the inside, with a dominant height and a strong defense in the low post. As long as the Lakers still have tall players on the inside, Hayes is ready to stay on the outside and use his strengths to play the opponent's weaknesses.
I have to say that Jackson's defensive tactics have pitted Gasol, and if he continues to fight like this, he will be condemned to the big black pot of "soft egg defense rotten".
'This guy isn't much slower than Kobe, how can I keep up with him?' This task should be left to Odom! Arranging me to change the perimeter like this will only make me make a fool of myself! Gasol was also a little unhappy with Jackson's arrangement. I don't know why Jackson is still sitting.
The Bobcats still played the same way, with Hayes taking advantage of teammates to cover and run out to get the ball, and then singled Gasol. This time he burst forward from the left with the ball and Gasol followed Hayes.
On the edge of the box at a 45-degree angle, Hayes took the ball and dropped back to face Gasol. Holding the ball in his right hand and dribbling the ball to his left hand, then changing his left hand to dribble with his right hand, Gasol did not eat this feint.
'I'm not going to be passed by you every time. Gasol was half a step away from Hayes and kept an eye on Hayes' movements, a distance that would have enough time to block as long as he wasn't shaken off.
Hayes held the ball in his right hand and dribbled with his back. The right foot is the axis, and the left foot steps out of the body and swings to the left side at the same time. Gasol thought he was going to enter the box from the middle of the pitch and moved his body a small step. Hayes immediately turned to the baseline and threw a backward jumper, and the ball made a beautiful arc and hollowed into the net. 9 to 4.
Hayes's movements weren't ethereal enough, but they were practical, and Gasol was completely shaken and didn't even have a chance to interfere.
The Zen master sitting in the audience still didn't mean to make adjustments, he seemed to have entered the state of old monk again. The Lakers players are also sweating about the situation on the court. Everyone can see that the main attack points of both sides at this stage are Hayes and Gasol. Gasol has been comfortably scored by Hayes three times in a row.
The Lakers attacked, and the Bobcats still used a single defense, and this time, Gasol received the ball and dribbled twice to Kobe Bryant, who ran to the bottom corner. Facing Durant, Bryant raised his hands and pretended to shoot a three-point shot, and then broke through Durant with the ball and made a pull-up jumper. Durant turned to chase the hat and adopted a foul tactic, which severely disrupted Kobe's shot and sent Kobe to the free throw line.
After seeing Kobe Bryant's crazy performance of 57 points, the Bobcats prepared the player to foul as soon as he lost his position, and did not let Kobe easily throw in the field goal, so as to curb his hand. Premature fouls aren't a big deal for the Bobcats, and they have a lot of people available on the bench.
Bryant hit both free throws. 9 to 6.
The Bobcats still handed over to Hayes for singles. Butler was tight off the ball, but that's about it. Wallace and Lopez cover for Hayes together. Durant cuts inside at any time, ready to grab rebounds, completely empty the Lakers' interior line, the Bobcats have more advantages, and Durant's ability to grab rebounds is also stronger than Kobe.
Hayes received the ball smoothly, and it was Gasol who defended. Gasol is already a little overwhelmed. He even hoped that Hayes would pass the ball quickly, and even if it did, at least not under his defense.
It's a pity that Hayes seized on his weakness and slammed it. Another breakthrough. This time he chose the left side, changed direction and accelerated to lead Gasol by half a step. Hayes took the ball with his left hand and made a layup pose, and Gasol suspected that it might be a feint, and it was likely to go around and use a hook hand, so he just raised his right hand to follow and did not jump.
Hayes dribbled to the low post without any feints and hit the board with a hook left hand. 11 to 6.
The opening of the Bobcat maintained a super high efficiency!
