"Sweep! Sweep ......"

The central gymnasium unexpectedly resounded with an earth-shattering sweeping sound.

This made the Lakers angry up and down, like eating, and their faces were very ugly.

On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Li sighed: "The Lakers are really not weak, except for the supersonic is the Lakers, if there is no supersound, the Lakers will definitely be the boss of this league."

The OK combination is very strong and can be said to be one of the strongest inside and outside combinations in the history of the league. O'Neal is still at his peak, and Kobe Bryant is maturing day by day.

It's a pity that the Lakers ran into Zhou Quan and this supersonic, and they never had a chance to prove themselves, so now they should be very aggrieved. ”

Nodding, Yu Jia said: "Before Zhou Quan's comeback, the Lakers' strength did not enter the peak, first met the Jazz, and then was defeated by the Spurs, and was swept in a row, and did not seize the opportunity of Zhou Quan's retirement in the two years.

Then Zhou Quan came back, and the Lakers were absolutely suppressed when they entered their peak, and they were swept for two consecutive years, resulting in a very passive situation now, and it is possible to be swept out of the game for five consecutive years. ”

"Such a strong team, such a strong combination, but such a fate, the time is also fate, just like Jordan met Zhou Quan, this is fate." Zhang Li nodded.

"It's fate. After Zhou Quan's comeback, supersonic actually picked up Ben Wallace, if there was no Ben Wallace, supersonic speed would not be so strong. Yu Jia agreed.

"Indeed." Zhang Li nodded.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson called Fisher aside and said to him: "Derek, if Kobe Bryant is obsessed with singles playing Iron Fist, you have to be more sober and don't blindly give him the ball, understand?" ”

Fisher thought for a moment and nodded, "Understood." ”

"Tick!"

At eight o'clock, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Jump ball, Lakers offense.

Bryant entered the frontcourt, entered the right wing and ran outside the three-point line to ask Fisher for the ball.

But Fisher did not give the ball immediately, but first observed the situation on the field.

He and Kobe Bryant are the same year rookie, the No. 24 pick in the first round, four years older than Kobe, the Lakers are also his parent team, although the status of the team is not as good as Kobe, but unlike other players, he is not afraid of Kobe.

And he knows very well that if Kobe Bryant plays like Iverson last year, he will personally have a chance to play some wonderful moments, but the Lakers will definitely lose very ugly, and being swept is ironclad.

"Ball!"

Bryant yelled at Fisher.

Fisher ignored it, and then Bryant stopped asking for the ball.

At this point, Lewis began to wrap O'Neal, and Lakers power forward Samaki Walker was emptied.

Samaki Walker is 206 centimeters, 109 kilograms, averaging 6.7 points in 24 minutes per game, shooting 51.2% from the field, and his long-range shooting ability is not good, but he has the ability to score two points and nearly two points.

Two steps outside the right midfield, Rashad Lewis flicked O'Neill and he immediately asked for the ball from Fisher at the top of the arc.

Although joint defense is now allowed, most teams in the NBA league are still used to playing man-to-man defense, and the same is true for the SuperSonics.

Zhou Quan defends Kobe Bryant, a 45-degree position within 45 degrees of the three-point line on the right wing, just two meters away from Samaki Walker.

He's the closest to Walker and he's the guy in charge of the defense.

Fisher is level-headed, with one-handed dribbling and shooting ability, but his passing ability and playmaking ability can only be described as lackluster, but Walker can see such a large vacancy, and he just wants to pass the ball under Corimagetti's defense, which is a bit of a problem.

The superSonics' defensive strategy is to contain O'Neal in advance and let Samaki Walker go short, so that Walker can shoot twenty or thirty balls without a problem.

Walker's twenty or thirty shots, and O'Neal's twenty or thirty shots, have a completely different meaning, because O'Neal can produce a strong lethality and threat to the supersonic interior, but Walker's outside open jump shot is not lethal and threatening.

At the same time, he wrapped O'Neal in advance in the low post, and further strengthened the control of defensive rebounding, and the restricted area was two-on-one, and it was difficult for the Lakers to grab offensive rebounds.

This is a defensive strategy decided by the coaching staff and Zhou Quan and will continue throughout the series against the Lakers.

The SuperSonics didn't play like this in the regular season, and O'Neal was very comfortable playing the SuperSonics in the regular season, but the playoffs certainly won't allow him to get any points comfortably, and even any important position must make him physically exhausted.

With O'Neill in the middle, Margeti paid special attention to blocking the passing angles of Fisher and Samaki Walker, who was mediocre in his passing ability, and waited for him to move two steps to the right flank before passing the ball.

And such a pass, without suddenness or threat, gave Zhou Quan the fullest chance to make up for the defense.

"Smack!"

Samaki Walker received the ball in his hand, and the rhythm of the shot was not very fast, so he adjusted it first, and at the moment when he jumped out of his hand, Zhou Quan came out from behind, flew up, and directly grabbed the ball that had just been shot.

Yu Jia cheered: "Beautiful! The Lakers were blocked by the Iron Fist King on their first shot. ”

Zhang said: "This is role players, the reason why they are role players, not star players, is not how poor their physical fitness is, otherwise they are not qualified to enter the NBA, and there are few people who can enter the NBA with poor physical fitness."

Samaki Walker was also the No. 9 pick in the first round in '96, with a higher pick than Kobe Bryant, and his physical gifts are very good.

Where is the gap between a role player like him and a star player? One is technique, the second is consciousness, and the third is the ball

Fourth, technology and tactics.

You see that he has to adjust after receiving the ball, and the rhythm is incoherent, which is a technical defect, which gives Zhou Quan the opportunity to make up for the defense.

If this is Duncan, the technical movements are very coherent, like an assembly line, there is no need for any adjustment at all after receiving the ball in the open position, and he will shoot directly, how can he have a chance to make up for the defense? ”

On the court, Zhou Quan held the ball to the left wing three-point line, and Kobe Bryant immediately began to fight physically, not giving him a chance to break through with the ball, nor giving him space to shoot.

"Bryant's defensive moves are huge." Kenny Smith said.

"Although it is the home of the supersonics, it should not blow the Lakers much. The league needs balance and does not want to see a sweep. Barkley said.

At this time, Zhou Quan crushed Kobe Bryant into the three-point line, then took a strong step, and suddenly stepped back to make a jumper, and Kobe's defense did not keep up.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, this three-pointer missed.

Kobe Bryant couldn't help but lift his spirits when he saw that the ball was missed.

"Kobe, does it have anything to do with you that I can't vote?" Zhou Quan casually came up with a trash talk.

Kobe Bryant was so angry that he replied: "It's what I prevented." ”

"Huh!" Zhou Quan smiled.

Kobe Bryant was particularly annoyed when he heard Zhou Quan's laughter, is this despising him?

O'Neal got the defensive rebound and threw it to Fisher, and Kobe Bryant didn't want the ball, ran to the right wing and moved freely, looking very aggressive, but actually outside the tactical system.

He's the core of the perimeter, and if he only runs and doesn't want the ball, then his running doesn't mean much.

When Phil Jackson saw Kobe Bryant like this, he knew that this young man was in the Cold War.

But he knows very well that if Kobe Bryant is allowed to attack with the ball, the Lakers' fate must be miserable, O'Neal was strangled to death in advance, Kobe Bryant was locked by Iron Fist again, what else will the Lakers play?

In the low post, O'Neal was blocked by Big Ben and Rashad Lewis to get into the basket.

The two blocked, and it was not easy for O'Neill to go around, so he could only forcibly squeeze the two away, but the physical consumption was very considerable.

Big Ben is the main defense, responsible for withstanding O'Neal, Lewis plays assist, is responsible for blocking O'Neal, is responsible for going around, and the cooperation is okay.

O'Neal has never been so guarded against supersonic speeds, and he was a little messed up for a while, and in a hurry, Lewis was pulled directly to the ground, and then the referee's whistle sounded.

"Offensive foul, haha!"

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "Although they haven't scored yet, the Lakers have some trouble, and the Lakers have to solve the problem of O'Neal being caught in advance, but how to solve it, this requires Kobe Bryant, the core of the outside line, to stand up." ”

Barkley said: "If you don't let Kobe Bryant attack with the ball, how can he stand up. ”

Kenny Smith said: "No, the triangle offense doesn't require Bryant to play with the ball all the time. Charles, who is a close friend of Michael Jordan, was a non-ball player under Phil Jackson. ”

"But he can't beat the Iron Fist King without a ball, and he has lost three consecutive victories in the finals." Barkley complained without hesitation.

“……”

Kenny Smith was directly killed by Barkley, and this is the end of this topic for the two.

"Barkley, bastard!"

Jordan, who was watching the game at home, heard Barkley's words and cursed angrily.

On the court, Zhou Quan held the ball to the top of the arc, called Lewis's block, and then took the opportunity to easily break through Kobe Bryant and enter the penalty area from the left end of the free throw line.

Lewis moved from the top of the arc to the left wing as tactically dictated, ready to receive the pass back.

"Brush!"

Samaki Walker switched to Zhou Quan, and when Zhou Quan burst through the free throw line, he saw O'Neal blocking the basket, and he immediately distributed the ball, Lewis received the ball at the top of the left arc, and hit a three-point shot in the open position.

Kobe Bryant was first rushed during the whole defensive process, and then he chose to chase the defense, but when he chased behind Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan shared the ball.

"The Iron Fist single-handedly used the ball to break through to attract the Lakers' three-man defense, and Big Ben also got a chance under the basket." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley said: "Let Kobe Bryant break through with the ball by blocking and dismantling, you can also break through the Iron Fist King, Michael played like that back then, once he broke through, Kobe Bryant can also create opportunities for O'Neal, and the OK combination can definitely play together." ”

"Charles, are you in favor of allowing Kobe Bryant to attack with the ball?" Kenny Smith asked.

"Can you win if you fight like this now?" Barkley asked rhetorically.

Kenny Smith was silent for a moment and said, "No matter how you play, the Lakers have little hope of winning." I'm talking about winning one game, not winning the whole series. ”

"You are too pessimistic, this is not right, the gap in their strength is not yet so big." Barkley said angrily.

"Perhaps, but the Iron Fist King's offense and defense are really desperate." Kenny Smith shook his head and sighed.

Barkley opened his mouth and closed it again.

Even if he is hard, it is difficult to deny the attack and defense of the Iron Fist King, last year's Western Finals averaged 50+ per game, and the finals averaged a triple-double per game, that kind of horror can destroy the self-confidence of any opponent.

This time O'Neill finally received the ball low on the left flank.

It was Fox who hoisted in, and under Lewis's forward defense, this pass almost missed, and was almost broken by the big Ben of the top defense.

But such a position received the ball in the double bag, O'Neal couldn't handle it at all, so he could only force a throw, came with a hook hand, was almost capped by the two, threw a three-pointer, and went directly out of the bottom line, and Samaki Walker, who was in the right waist position, jumped out of the bottom line and did not save it.

"The Lakers' offense can't play at all, there is no tactic at all, now look at the supersonic offense." Zhang said reasonably.

Zhou Quan held the ball to the top of the arc, and Kobe Bryant provoked: "Iron Fist King, there is a kind of don't call it blocking and dismantling, don't pass the ball, let's go heads-up." ”

"Are you as stupid as you are?" Zhou Quan almost choked Kobe Bryant with a word.

"Are you scared?" Kobe Bryant said angrily.

"Do you believe your words?" Zhou Quan asked with a smile.

“……”

Bryant stopped talking, because he certainly didn't believe it.
