Chapter 258: Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Opponent (Part II)

When the "NBA Warfire" program started, the Warriors players also gathered in the arena lounge to watch the show, TNT's basketball program is very professional, and the reviews about each team such as player strength and team tactics are all real technical work, not there to tease fans by playing treasures.

TNT has its own system of scouting and senior expert analysis, any sports TV station has it, even ABC has hired former retired Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy to serve, and TNT's system is the most complete and powerful, Kenny Smith has the ability to go to an NBA team as an assistant coach, but he chose to join TNT, and among TNT's experts, he is not counted.

Nelson Sr. forced his players to watch this show in order to know themselves and their opponents, and those who walked 100 meters were half ninety, and now that they have reached the Western Conference Finals, they can no longer use their previous attitude to deal with the game, who doesn't want to win the championship? You know, the old Nelson has not won a championship as a head coach.

In TNT's live broadcast room, Smith and Barkley continued to analyze while arguing, and the analysis of Nelson Sr. and Zen Master Jackson took up most of the time, because this was the most controversial topic, and the rest was much simpler.

Smith and Barkley have been in the league for more than ten or twenty years, and I don't know how much gossip has been heard, plus the two can be eloquent, so this episode of the show is very interesting, Smith pushed old Nelson and brought up a lot of the old man's youthful past, which made the players in front of the TV exclaim, old Nelson looked light, but sometimes the smug smile showed his inner self-satisfaction.

"Kenny is good, I'm kind of sorry now for not saying anything about it when Mullin fired his shooting coach's contract." Old Nelson said with some annoyance.

Barkley and Smith played against each other, in addition to constantly listing the great light of the Zen master, he also brought up some of the embarrassing things that old Nelson did not know, every time Barkley spoke, the old Nelson's expression would become ugly, and he kept scolding Buckley, during which he also asked for Buckley's mobile phone number and called, but unfortunately the latter was doing a show, and the mobile phone was turned off.

Later, when the two finally ended their argument about Nelson Sr. and Phil Jackson, Nelson Sr. said to Chamberlain angrily: "Z, you must win the scoring title next season, fuck, when the time comes, let's go to this fat man's wedding together, and I will choose a fat donkey for him to be his wife!" ”

He's talking about Smith and Barkley's bet on whether Chamberlain can develop offensive skills to become a top offensive player in the NBA, and as for the bet, it's naturally the famous 'marriage with a donkey'.

After the bickering, the two continued to analyze the lineups of the two teams, and the old Nelson put aside his previous prejudices and listened most seriously:

"The two teams have one thing in common in terms of lineups, and that is that they are not consistent enough, the Lakers' combination has only been working together for half a season, and the Warriors only got Billups and West late in the season, so once the battle is deadlocked, we may have to see the two teams start a scuffle!"

"But the Lakers have no problem with the quality of their starting lineup, which has been proven in the regular season, and the first and second rounds of the playoffs have proven it," Barkley said. In addition, one thing is for sure, Gasol is a natural triangular offensive material, and he hardly sees any discomfort in the Lakers' tactical system. ”

Smith couldn't open his eyes and tell nonsense, Barkley was telling the truth, he nodded and continued: "Yes, before Gasol's arrival, Kobe and Odom have not been called, this Spaniard is like a catalyst, so that Kobe and Odom suddenly found a feeling, the Lakers' three cores have been considered to be comparable to the Celtics Big Three combination." ”

The screen shows some stats from the Lakers' Big Three combined, such as an average of 61 per game. 4 points, 25. 3 rebounds, 12. 1 assist. What's even more terrifying is that Gasol and Odom are both big players who can take charge of themselves, and Kobe Bryant is a hero who can turn the tide, once Bynum returns and integrates into the Lakers' current tactical system, the Warriors' starting lineup is a little dangerous.

"In the center position, the young Bynum will face the younger Chamberlain, but there is nothing to compare to, if it is one-on-one, Chamberlain can blow the little guy of Bynum with one hand. Hehe, it's still a little shark, if he is a little shark, then Chamberlain is a prehistoric dinosaur! ”

"The Lakers have an absolute advantage in the position of power forward, and the Warriors do not have a forward who can compare with the Spaniards, and even if they are combined, I am afraid they are not the opponents of the Spaniards, so there is still no comparison."

"At the small forward position, Odom is an All-Star level player in a state of full attention, and the best candidate for the Warriors is Jackson, but considering the instability of the former and the consistency of the latter, then the two teams can be considered a tie in this position."

"As for the shooting guard, hehe, does this still need to be compared? Kobe Bryant is the MVP, the first person in the league now, no matter Ellis or West, or even anyone, there is no comparison with him, let's not talk about this, otherwise Warriors fans will lose confidence. ”

"The playmaking position is very clear, Fisher has a lot of playoff experience, and the more critical the moment, the better he is, which is one of the key factors for the Lakers to reach the Western Conference Finals this season. In addition, during the Lakers' three-game championship period, Fisher was an indispensable player. He is averaging 11 per game this season. 7 points, 2. 9 assists, 2. 1 rebound and 1. 05 steals, plus 40. 6% of three-pointers, but his true impact is not reflected in the data. ”

"Fisher is very good, but even better than Loops, this time the two teams will meet will be very interesting, in the 2004 Finals Kobe Bryant once wanted to win FMVP to prove his ability, the person who messed up his intentions was Billups, so it can be seen that Billups also has the ability to change the direction of the game, according to our statistics, in the regular season after coming to the Warriors, Billups averaged 18 per game. 2 points, 14. 6 assists, in addition to 6. 5 rebounds, the play is so comprehensive! ”

After a brief introduction to the possible starting lineups of the two teams, Barkley and Smith began to discuss the strength of the players of the two teams from a professional point of view, and the summary is that the Lakers have two positions to crush the Warriors, and the Warriors also have two positions to crush the Lakers, and one position is evenly matched, so it is difficult to say whether the winner will be lost.

Hearing this, Chamberlain began to yawn, isn't this nonsense?

Analysing the starting line-up is the bench line-up, and both teams' bench line-ups have been positively praised.

Barkley first commented on the Lakers' bench, saying: "82 regular season games have tested the strength of the Lakers' bench, yes, in my opinion, the Lakers' bench players are the most dynamic and offensive in the league - Sasha Vujacic shoots accurately, Jordan Famar is physically strong and full of passion, Turiaf always has an iron and blood on the inside, which may be the key point for the Lakers to defeat the Warriors, guys, relying on Bynum to defend Chamberlain is not reliable, Or Turyav is better! ”

He took a sip of water and continued: "In addition to these people and Wharton, I admit that this guy's ability is not very strong, and there is a huge gap between him and his invincible father, but he has inherited his father's smart brain and comprehensive skills, he is a master key!" Together, these guys form the Lakers' unfathomable bench depth, and if Bynum returns, Radmanovic returns to the bench, and the Lakers' bench is the best in the league. The excellent performance of the Lakers bench players is enough to allow the main players to get more rest time off the court. ”

After finishing speaking, he licked his thick lips unsatisfactorily, and added: "At some point, he will even play the role of a surprise soldier who kills the opponent." ”

Hearing his words, Smith sneered and said, "Are you sleepy, Charles, the Lakers are the first in the league?" How dare you talk nonsense, but what about the Warriors' bench lineup? West's breakthrough and defense, if it weren't for Nelson Sr.'s special arrangement, which team would he not be able to go to start? Barnes's defensive ability, even Kobe Bryant has to be painful when facing him, right? And Petrus, regardless of offense and defense, does Petrus have any shortcomings? I won't mention Evans, O'Bryant, and Belineri, I'm afraid it will hurt your pride too much! ”

Barkley had nothing to say, so he simply changed the topic and began to talk about the tactics of the two teams, which is also the point that Nelson Sr. is most concerned about, if even TNT sees through his ready tactics, it means that the Lakers will definitely not be kept in the dark, so he is in good spirits.

"There is no doubt that the Lakers still have to carry out the triangle offense, and Kobe Bryant plays the same role as Jordan, the controller and finisher of the team's offense, and the triangle offense basically revolves around him. Gasol's excellent passing skills and organizational ability will help the Zen master better develop a triangle offense, with him on the inside, allowing Kobe to intersperse between the high and low posts, and Odom to impact the inside, then the Lakers' tactics can evolve into different routines, let's analyze the video below: "

“……”

"THE ANALYSIS IS OVER, GUYS, YOU ALSO SEE, IT'S DIFFERENT NOW THAN IN THE PAST, THE LAKERS NO LONGER RELY ON KOBE IN THE OFFENSE, AND NOW THIS LAKERS TEAM EVEN LET FANS SEE THE RESURGENCE OF THE LAKERS SHOW-TIME IN THE EIGHTIES, AND ITS DAZZLING OFFENSE CAN HIT AN AVERAGE OF 108. 6 points! The only regret is that the Lakers' defense is not ideal, conceding an average of 101 points. 3 points, but due to its ample offensive firepower, it can still outscore the opponent by 7. 3 points, third in the league in net points, and first in the West. ”

Smith also had to admit this, adding: "It's not that the Lakers are incapable of defending, but they are too focused on offense, and they can also play suffocating defense when needed, which has been proven in the first two rounds." That's it for the Lakers, let's take a look at the Warriors' tactical analysis. ”
