Chapter 145: Fit is the best

Kobe Bryant really treats Artest as a brother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info no brother or basketball, whether the two people are compatible is also the reason why they can become brothers.

Although they have different personalities, their seriousness about the game of the basketball team also makes them friends.

D'Antoni is just a newcomer, and although he is the head coach, the Lakers' boss is still Kobe.

Even with a large number of veterans, it seems that only Artest is on the court, and Kobe Bryant is more at ease.

"Hey, man, when is that rookie of yours coming out?" Artest asked Bezemore.

"We're all rookies, who are you asking?" Bezemore kept his infamous fellow at bay.

"You know that! That guy I feel like a lot like me! Artest said with a smile.

Now, Artest looked so pleasant that he couldn't tell how irritable he was.

It may also be the result of the Lakers being transformed by Kobe, anyway, he is much calmer now.

"You say Duan, I don't know, but it should be next month!" Duan Tianqing's fifteen games of suspension took almost a month.

"Hehe, we have another game next month, I'm looking forward to it!" Artest said with a grin.

“。。。” I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks so.

Put these two thorns together, don't you make a big fuss?! Betsmore complained inwardly.

"Uh, what are you doing?!"

"Tie your shoes!"

"I understand the reason, but why are you untying my shoelaces?!"

"Hahaha!"

“。。。” Neurological patients have a lot of fun!

Duan Tianqing and Green are unable to play, which has a great impact on the strength of the Warriors' bench. Needless to say, Duan Tianqing's role is not something that can be reflected in the data on paper. Draymond Green is a top-tier forward defender who can defend multiple positions on the perimeter; Although the shooting is inconsistent and difficult to finish the offense, the killing ability is excellent; It's not tall enough, but it's good in rebounding, and it's a lot of good passes.

He is the glue that holds the team together, and as the "glue" of the team, Draymond Green's biggest contribution is his rebounds and assists. He's got a strong body, not tall enough but has an amazing reach, and he's never afraid to take on the big guys. Green's momentum on the court is the same as Duan Tianqing's, not at all like a newcomer. This is also why, some people call Green and Duan Tianqing the nightmare brothers. On the inside, Green's excellent vision and passing ability always make defenders take care of each other, and it is difficult to juggle Green's ball in his hands and teammates who run without the ball at the same time. Green's passes are always timely and on point. With his back to the basket, Green is a rather cunning player, making it difficult to get around the baseline or turn to the free throw area. He has a super high basketball IQ and can make his teammates better around him, but he does not control his emotions very well, and although he has some leader temperament, he still has some flaws. But Green doesn't have a particularly strong skill, is awkwardly positioned, doesn't have enough size to play as a strong forward, and doesn't seem flexible enough as a wing player. So, Green's role is more in the playmaking and defense.

It's a peculiar trait to make your teammates around you better.

Coincidentally, the Warriors' Curry, Green, and Duan Tianqing all have this trait. So they push each other and lead a group of youngsters who weren't favored at all before the season to play and get better and better.

Without these few people, Curry is resting off the court, and the Warriors have no other advantages compared with the Lakers, just young and able to run.

And Matt Jackson looked at this miserable lineup and gave them a directive. Defend seriously, attack quickly, and exhaust them to death if they are tired.

Exhausting the Lakers is the goal of the Warriors.

And the goal of the Lakers is not to be exhausted by the Warriors.

It's ridiculous, but that's what it is. If D'Antoni wants players to use run-and-gun tactics with the Lakers, the first thing to do is to solve the age problem of the players.

Even the younger Howard is not able to run, and if he joins the run-and-bomb system, he will be tired and half dead.

The oldest player of the Warriors is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is in the prime of his life. The core is almost all under the age of twenty-five, and this lineup really comes and goes.

Let the thirties Kobe, Nash, chase Curry and Klay. It's hard for the two old comrades, especially Curry, who didn't let go of his hands, and the thirty-seven-year-old Nash was easily thrown off.

As the game continued, the Lakers' problems became more and more prominent. Not only was his physical strength unable to keep up, but Howard also had problems, and several offenses wasted his physical strength just by running, which made him emotionally devastated.

Although Howard is not a bad boy, he is also a lively and emotional player. In the years since he entered the league, he has almost never played as aggrieved as he has this season.

On the technical side, he not only has the inside footwork of a big man, but also the dribbling skills of a point guard. Howard's dominance on the field earned him the nickname "The Beast." The power that allows him to run rampant in the box, as well as his long reach and explosive explosiveness, he is unscrupulous on the inside. Off-court, Howard is amiable, funny, and amused, also known as "Big Boy", Howard has the same shortcomings as many center players, such as range, turnovers, and free throw shooting percentage.

Overall, he's a traditional centre-forward.

The traditional four words of center are almost cumbersome for the run-and-gun system.

After an unknown number of back-to-back runs, Howard finally exploded.

When grabbing rebounds under the basket, Bogut's habitual small actions became the fuse.

Howard let out a general elbow and almost hit Bogut in the face.

"Fuck off, you filthy Australian!"

Bogut was also not a bully, and immediately pushed Howard to fight back.

"You softass, do you only lose your temper at this time?! You don't seem to have scored a score today, do you?! The league's No. 1 center? I wonder what the Lakers want you for? You can also trade James alone?! Bogut's words hit Howard in the right sore spot, he really didn't score today, only a few rebounds were scored.

was already aggrieved, and was ridiculed by his opponent. Howard couldn't take it anymore and pushed and scolded Bogut.

"Really?! You can be the champion too?! I don't know how those people were blind at that time?! Do you think you're Yao Ming?! ”

"Hehe, you're just a wasted guy!" I have to say that being in two teams that are running and bombing, this is the sadness of the center player.

"Shhhh Hush! Stop, what are you doing?! Several referees quickly rushed over and separated the two.

They were extremely nervous and neither of these teams was a good match. They are extremely sensitive to conflicts, and they must stop them in time at the slightest sign of conflict.

The Warriors just had a group fight with the Pacers in Indiana. That Stephen Curry seemed to be an honest and good boy, but he didn't show mercy when it came to fighting. The main creators of the conflict, Duan Tianqing and Green, although still suspended, also came to the arena.

There is also the Lakers' Artest, whose famous name is known to everyone.

Fortunately, though, the conflict did not expand. I don't know why, Artest didn't seem to be flustered and didn't have the slightest intention of making a move, but the Warriors' players surrounded him. But they all came to persuade them, and they could see that the two were just quarrelling.

"Hey, what's going on?!" Duan Tianqing seemed to be extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, "Are you going to fight again?!" ”

“。。。 Just sit honestly! Huo Liuyun appeared beside Duan Tianqing and pressed his shoulder.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?! I'm not stupid, are you taking me for a violent maniac! ”

"Huh? Isn't it? If not, what am I here for?! Huo Liuyun raised his eyebrows.

“。。。” Duan Tianqing was speechless, "I don't have the same knowledge as you!" ”

In the end, the referees each hit 30 boards and gave Bogut and Howard a technical foul each.

D'Antoni replaced Howard, who returned to the bench and kicked over the chair in anger. The contradictions within the Lakers team can be seen.

"Brother Steve, it doesn't seem to be harmonious in your team!" Curry said to Nash.

"Huhu, don't lead me to talk, you're so fucking good at running!" Nash gasped on his knees.

“。。。”

Why the Lakers gave up on the triangle offense and opted for D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics is a mystery.

The triangle offense has made two of the greatest defenders in history, and it seems easy to understand, but it's endlessly varied.

The triangle tactic is not a constant tactic, and the coach will modify it according to the actual situation, and the triangle tactic is just a core of the concept.

To put it simply, a triangle attack consists of three players on one side who make up a triangle and a "two-player game" on the other side. Its most basic feature is that when attacking, 3 players form an offensive triangle on the strong side, while the other two players will look for shooting opportunities by running on the weak side, or through blocking and running, forming a new offensive triangle, and the 5 players constantly exchange positions, so that there will be hundreds of changes.

The Lakers' triangle offense is also one of the best teams, and the Lakers used the triangle offense during the two consecutive championships from 2009 to 2010.

The Lakers' triangle offensive system in 09 is based on Gasol as the core, and is contained by the strong dominance of one of the league's best interior lines, in which Gasol's ability to respond to the ball and pass and his personal offensive ability are the key to the triangle offense. In almost every offensive, the composition-disintegration-reconstitution of the offensive triangle is centered on Gasol.

Many people say that Kobe Bryant's championship was hugged O'Neal's thigh before and then Gasol's thigh for this reason.

And the Lakers now seem to have completely abandoned this tactic, maybe because of the complexity of the tactic?! Probably because they feel that this is no longer in fashion, and the reason is unknown.

The so-called triangle offense is when a low post player plays the axis on the inside, and the other players make flexible runs around him. This tactic requires an interior player with solid skills. And the Lakers have no shortage of such players.

Both Howard and Gasol could meet that requirement, and with several players on the triangle offensive lineup that year, Fisher was replaced by Nash, who was one of the best point guards in the league and his ball quotient would certainly fit perfectly into this style of play.

Regardless of the effect, at least it will be better than the current run-and-gun system that D'Antoni has tired the whole team into dogs.

It can be said that D'Antoni played a good hand this time.

The game between the two sides reached the fourth quarter, and the Lakers really couldn't run.

They had to fall back to the state of slowly grinding their positions, and at this time, the effect was better than when they were running and bombing.

This makes the Lakers' players also confused, should we play run and shoot, and is this tactic really suitable for us?

D'Antoni may be able to make a difference with the Warriors, the Rockets can still make a difference, and with the Lakers, the pressure is on the rise, and having such a group of players into his run-and-gun system is tantamount to a dream.

The Lakers were exhausted by the Warriors' indiscriminate bombardment, but in the end they still did not withstand the Warriors' offensive.

When the Warriors get into their own rhythm, the offensive wave is like the waves of Golden State Bay. Wave after wave, there is an unstoppable stance.

Curry and Thompson have a smooth hand and it's their showtime. Some fans who like to dunk dunks think their games are nothing to watch, but isn't it also a show to be able to put the ball in the basket in a different way every time?

And the Golden State Warriors' favorite is an opponent like the Lakers. Because they also play fast and don't disrupt their rhythm. They can play defensive counterattacks, run bombs, and fast attacks again and again. There is no need to get bogged down in positional attacks.

To be honest, the Warriors' defense is okay, but the positional offense is really not good.

And instead of taking advantage of the Warriors' weaknesses, the Lakers played the Warriors' favorite rhythm in this game. This is almost equivalent to chronic suicide, how can the Lakers' lineup outrun the Warriors?!

As the final whistle blew, Curry threw the game ball into the air. The ball fell to the spectators, and the spectators rushed forward to grab it, regardless of the danger.

In this game, the Warriors won 135-128. High scoring is also a reflection of the style of play of both teams.

“yeah!! We won! Phil happily high-fived everyone around him.

"Hehe, it's not bad, these guys, they really didn't disappoint me!" Duan Tianqing said with a smile.

The Lakers coach didn't say a word, and went back to the locker room without even hugging and greeting. Everyone in the starters had a tired look on their faces, and even the anger of defeat was so tired that they were not in the mood to think about it.

There was jubilation at Oracle Arena as they won against the Lakers. At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, the festive atmosphere of the Celestial Empire is also becoming more and more intense. Because, in less than a week, the New Year will be celebrated.
