There is one player on the Timberwolves' team who has always been the most overlooked, his offense is not as gorgeous as Nash, the controversy is not as big as Wang Zhizhi, of course, the popularity is not as good as Garnett Pierce, and even Mobley on the Timberwolves' bench can't compare, although he is the Timberwolves, but his score is the only one of the five who has not had a double, for a long time he has been considered a shooter, his three-point shot is indeed very accurate, until the end of the regular season this season, when the league began to give out various awards, It was only when everyone started to think about the player's performances this season that they found that there was basically no imprint on the man in their minds.

This is an invisible man within the Timberwolves, but he has always been extremely used by Zhuang Fei, and he has always been called the 'most clingy' person by his teammates on the Timberwolves team. His name was Stephen Jackson.

In the locker room, when Zhuang Fei removed Pierce and pushed Jackson down at the small forward position, all the Timberwolves players were puzzled and shocked in their eyes, and even Pierce stared at Zhuang Fei directly. However, under Zhuang Fei's authority and explanation, Pierce still calmed down, but Jackson became more serious, why did Zhuang Fei remove Pierce and keep himself? It must be because the coach needs something better than Pierce in this game, and Jackson quickly knows what Zhuang Fei wants to do.

"Do you know why I've been taking the Lakers' triangle offense lightly? Do you know why Phil Jackson wanted Szzerbiak in his dreams? ”

"There is only one of these answers, that is, Glen Les is not good, not that his ability is not good, but that he simply cannot integrate into the triangle offensive system, when Glen Les is eliminated, the Lakers' triangle offense on the court is actually played by four people, which will make their endpoint insufficient, and their offensive system is also flawed, and now in this game we are going to completely freeze Glen Les, so that the Lakers' triangle offense cannot find a third stable endpoint"

"Stephen. Glen Les is a fly flying around the pitch all the time, and I need you to stick this fly completely, I want him to disappear from this game."

Jackson tightly remembered Zhuang Fei's instructions in the locker room, his biggest goal in this game is to stick to Glen Rice, Jackson has always been very confident in his personal kung fu, last year's playoffs he had posted the Kings' Webber can not advance or retreat, last season's Western Conference Finals was even sent by the head coach to defend Duncan, he is also full of confidence in Glen Rice, the coach said that Glen Les is a player outside the Lakers' tactical system.

In other words, the Lakers can't help Glen Les within the tactical system, and what Jackson has to do now is to isolate him from the Lakers' tactical system forever, which he believes he can do, and the only players in the Lakers who can score consistently are Kobe Bryant and O'Neal. The triangle offense has only two endpoints, which is naturally far from enough. There is no way to compare the changes produced by the two-pair and three-three combinations.

"This kid is sticky and easy to leave" The game only started less than 3 minutes, Glen Les found himself hit a hard stubble again, the last round against Artest he used his experience to play the opponent in the palm of his hand, but in the face of this Jackson, his own running position was completely unable to get rid of him, and when he was going to seek cover from his teammates, he found that his teammates were playing tactical cooperation, and he was the only one who was out of the team's system, and he couldn't find a way to enter the system. If he could have broken into the system indiscriminately before, he would have been able to break into the system indiscriminately, but now that he is being made by Jackson, he doesn't even have room to create indiscriminately, and this Jackson basically locks his space to death. …,

O'Neal found a very strange situation at the beginning, he found that he had attacked a lot of times in this game, and he had always followed Phil Jackson's instructions. He won't shoot indiscriminately for the sake of high scores, but in the end he found that most of the balls he distributed were back in his hands, which should not be like this according to the team's tactics, although he also hoped to be able to score high points when facing the Timberwolves and Zhuang Fei, but he also knew it. If the team only attacks on their own, and most of them are still facing the blockade of Garnett and O'Neal Jr., although the success rate is not low. However, if it consumes too much physical strength, the efficiency will also slowly decrease.

O'Neal received Fisher's ball and just sat inside twice, and Nate next to him surrounded him, and O'Neal then distributed the ball to AC Green, but when the vacant AC Green was ready to attack, Garnett returned. Green suddenly noticed that the defenders seemed to be a lot faster today.

"There isn't enough space, the Lakers' offensive space isn't big enough, the offensive distance between players is not widened, and the Timberwolves' complement and assist defense is easy," Phil Jackson muttered as he watched the Lakers' offense on the court.

Zhuang Fei on the side nodded with satisfaction, what is the core of the triangle attack? It is to open up the maximum space, give the ball to the strongest player to play alone, when the space is very large, the defender can not be very good to help the defense of the package, if the defense and the package then there will inevitably be a chance, this is a tactic to control the space. Zhuang Fei has been thinking about how to crack the Lakers' triangle offense before, and he was always a little paranoid about blocking O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, in fact, this idea is not wrong, but the method is wrong, until the last round Zhuang Fei watched Artest and Glen Rice's fighting style before he found out the real life of the Lakers.

Blocking Glen Les, compressing the Lakers' offensive space, although the Lakers can still form a triangle on the ball side, there is only one AC Green on the weak side, AC Green is an inside lineman, although the shooting ability is also okay, but it can't open up the space, because without Glen Les's help, Kobe and Fisher can't move at all, they can only stand there, if in Wake Forest, Szebiak, Carter and Ragabel The three can often switch with each other. This made the Lakers' tactics completely fragmented.

O'Neal gritted his teeth and took the ball from Fisher again and pushed O'Neal Jr. hard, and hurriedly shot before Garnett made up for it, and the hook that was a little far away still hit, but O'Neal couldn't be happy in his heart.

Fisher is also very depressed, he has recently become the distribution of the ball after doing a very good job, but since the beginning of this game, he has distributed the ball to O'Neal most of the time, basically did not let Kobe touch the ball, because Kobe's opponent did too well, always able to pinch himself and Kobe Bryant, at this time Fisher glanced at Kobe, he didn't know how long this peer of his own class could endure, if he was ready to take the ball alone, then the Lakers game would be over, At this time, Fisher glared fiercely at Glen Les, who was entangled with Jackson in the distance, at this time Glen Les should have come to switch positions with Kobe, Kobe cut the basket and then ran to the weak side, Glen Les moved laterally to Kobe's position, but Glen Les had no such plan at all, as if he was still calling his teammates to cover him, how could this be possible?

Fisher sighed softly, this game was so difficult at the beginning, and he was constrained everywhere, the Timberwolves' defense was too targeted. looked at O'Neal, who also had a bad face, Fisher looked to the sidelines at this time, and found that his head coach was also frowning and pinching his chin at this time, obviously thinking of countermeasures. …,

"The Lakers played a messy game, it wasn't like this before, Shaq attacked too much, although the success rate is high now, but it shouldn't be like this, the Lakers feel like they are being cut off by the Timberwolves" Abdul-Jabbar on the commentary bench said with some surprise, the Lakers didn't have any tactics at all in this game.

"Well, Glen Les and Kobe Bryant move too little, and the two rarely interact, which is infinitely amplified by the Timberwolves, and Jackson and Bowen's defense is really good, in the last round Glen Les only needed to score more than 18 points The Lakers won all the games, and now Glen Les can't get the ball" Michaels also sighed. At this time, the Lakers completely relied on O'Neal's strong play. There was no one around who could help him.

"O'Neal may be able to score a lot of points in this game, but the winner will be the Timberwolves," McHale said with a smile, and Abdul-Jabbar didn't know how to say anything although he had the heart to retort.

Zhuang Fei is very happy to see the current development of the court, this game is obviously to confirm his correctness, Glen Les is the only shortcoming of the Lakers, if Glen Les is replaced by Szczebiak, then Kobe and Szambiak can come back to life, and now Kobe and Glen Les are dead under the defense of Bowen and Jackson.

When the game went to 6 minutes, the score on the court had become 14-10, the Lakers only scored 10 points, of which O'Neal alone scored 8 points, and the last two points were a mid-range shot after Fisher broke through Nash, Kobe and Rice did not score a point, Kobe did not take the initiative to control the ball without touching the ball, so Zhuang Fei was actually very surprised, it seems that the super scoring guard is still waiting, if Kobe Bryant is finally forced to attack with the ball, then Zhuang Fei's arrangement can be regarded as all effective.

"Paul, after the timeout you replace Stephen, I think Phil Jackson will also replace Glen Les, your opponent is likely to be Harpa, Paul is our main point of attack after the game starts"

Zhuang Fei smiled and laid out tactics to the Timberwolves players, and the Lakers did make substitution adjustments. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
