The Pope of Basketball Community

If the opponent doesn't double-team, O'Neal is the Lakers' main attack point, and Cato is just the Raptors' backup. It doesn't look difficult to deal with. ?

However, "Zen Master" Jackson knew very well that the Lakers could not let O'Neal attack every round. It is impossible for him to compete with his opponent for the whole game and still maintain dominance. If he could do it, he would really not be human.

Rice continued to lob the ball to O'Neal. The latter leaned back twice and turned to the baseline to force a shot. Cato jumped up to block the shot. The two had physical contact and the referee called Cato's thug for a foul.

Yang Rui immediately replaced Cato, who committed two fouls, and replaced him with veteran Kevin Willis.

O'Neal stood on the free throw line, aimed for a moment and shot, and the first free throw missed the basket. The second free throw was deflected at first glance, and Carter grabbed the rebound. The home audience applauded vigorously, as if they wanted to smash their palms into pieces.

The Lakers fans in front of the TV were extremely depressed. It was reported that O'Neal practiced extra free throws, but it seemed that his practice was in vain.

Carter protected the basketball and waited for Billups to receive the ball. The rhythm slowed down and he fell into position. All five players were active on the perimeter, forcing O'Neal to defend the basket.

Willis gave Carter an off-ball screen, Billups passed the ball, and O'Neal changed defense and was half a beat slower.

Kobe was quick to pursue defense and was selected to the All-Defensive Team. O'Neal felt that he should be allowed to deal with his opponents.

But even Jordan could not get around in time every time he was blocked. Carter caught the ball and made an emergency jumper at 8o degrees on the left. There was no one in front of him to interfere. The ball drew a perfect arc and hit the net hollowly. 9 to 6.

When the Lakers attacked, the Raptors players all returned to defend. It was still the same tactic. Hubble dribbled the ball across half court to Rice, who lobbed the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal held the ball twice and turned toward the baseline. Willis fouled again and did not let O'Neal throw the ball.

O'Neal is under great pressure;

The more he was afraid that his condition would get worse, he missed two free throws again, and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal.

The Raptors were in a positional battle, looking for opportunities on the outside, and almost ran out of 24 seconds. O'Neal Jr. missed a jumper, O'Neal grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers fell into position.

If the Raptors don't play fast, the Lakers won't be able to get up fast. Positional battles naturally require the ball to be passed to the person with the greatest confidence in scoring. Yang Rui took these things into consideration before the game.

The three assistant coaches were all very impressed. Yang Rui's arrangement today subverted their understanding of basketball tactics. They had never seen any coach who could calculate his opponent in such a comprehensive way.

Not only psychological warfare, Yang Rui also arranged a war of attrition. Five people attacked around O'Neal, and defended alone on the defensive end, allowing O'Neal to play as he pleased.

Willis, who is 3 meters and 100 kilograms, stepped towards the basket and was two laps thinner than O'Neal. If O'Neal didn't play, he would be sorry for the audience.

It's like a beautiful woman taking off her clothes and lying there waiting. If O'Neal doesn't do it, the joke will be big. So here’s the question, O’Neal isn’t the only Lakers thirsty man…

More than 4 minutes into the game, Kobe had never touched a basketball. This kind of treatment was too cruel for a rising star who was provoked by role players before the game.

O'Neal stormed, and Kobe had no choice but to run back and forth. He couldn't run any faster and had to wait for O'Neal to get into position.

Although Christie also ran back and couldn't touch the ball, he was in a happy mood. His expression when defending was very provocative, as if he was saying: I jumped out again, I stood back again, how about it, how about it, I jumped out again. Come on, hit me, you idiot.

Kobe's eyes were blazing, and he reached for the ball in the backcourt. Hubble suspected that if he didn't give it to him, this kid was going to steal him, so he passed it.

Kobe broke through with the ball and challenged Christie. He forgot about tactics and rhythm. He only had eyes for the basket.

Kobe led the three-point line from the left, dribbled the ball twice under his hips, changed direction to the middle, and made an emergency stop near the free throw line for a jumper. He couldn't get rid of Christie and just relied on his physical fitness and rhythm to avoid the block.

Christie jumped up with all his strength and reached out to close his eyes to interfere. Suddenly, the ball bounced out of the basket.

The Lakers had an obvious advantage inside. O'Neal squeezed Willis away, judged the direction of the ball, grabbed the offensive rebound and directly spiked the ball in! 9 to 8.

Willis couldn't even get a foul in time with this shot, it was so powerful!

Zhang Lijia sighed: "O'Neal scored all the Lakers' points in the opening, but he made 4 free throws. The Raptors were still in the lead. I think Yang Rui's tactics were successful, right? The Raptors' offensive end blossomed more, and four people scored. .”

Sun Zhengping smiled and said: "No matter how strong O'Neal is, he can't beat Ba Zhao with just two fists."

The audience in front of the TV was shocked. Because four Raptors scored, was it eight claws instead of four hands?

The Raptors attacked, Billups brought it to the frontcourt and passed it to Carter who was running in the bottom corner. Kobe caught up with him, and Carter passed the ball to O'Neal at 7o degrees on the left.

O'Neal Jr. singled out Green and made a jump shot after a feint. He missed due to interference and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

The Lakers players began to pass the ball to look for opportunities, knowing that they could not hit the inside. In the end, they only passed the ball twice, and the ball stopped as soon as it reached Kobe's hands.

He chose to face the frame and break through. Christie's prediction was accurate and blocked the route. Kobe pulled the ball back and made a pull-up jumper on the left side and then missed it again due to interference.

This time, the ball didn't bounce toward O'Neal. O'Neal Jr. got the backboard and passed it to Billups for the fast break.

Billups dribbled the ball through half the court and passed it to Carter on the right side of the three-point line. Carter took the ball and turned around with a big step, leaned past Rice, took off and made a one-handed dunk! 11 to 8.

The 33-year-old Rice is already a floor player, and his lateral movement has slowed down. Carter has an advantage in single-handedly challenging him.

When the Lakers attack, it will be difficult for Rice to hit Carter back, and his physical fitness will suffer in all aspects. As soon as Carter got close to him, Les couldn't even turn around. He was unable to lob the ball to O'Neal on the right side and passed it to Kobe who was running in the middle to receive the ball.

Kobe suddenly stopped in the middle and shot a pull-up three-pointer. Christie didn't react, didn't jump up, and couldn't do it even with slight interference.

It's a pity that Kobe's current three-point shooting percentage is not guaranteed. It all depends on the wind and the ball misses again.

Because the arc of his shot was low, the ball bounced farther. The rebound was picked up by O'Neal Jr., Carter received the ball from close range on the left, and the Raptors counterattacked again.

Carter made a move and changed direction while running and passed Rice. Rice couldn't stop him even if he wanted to commit a foul, so he could only follow behind.

Harper let go of Billups, intercepted Carter, and jumped to pull him down. Carter forced to take off, hit Hubble and kept his center of gravity. He took one point with both hands and threw the ball to the basket from close range with his right hand. The referee blew the whistle and added a penalty!

After Carter landed, he clenched his fists and showed off his muscles. He stood on the free throw line and made a steady free throw amid the fans' "mvp" chants, scoring his 8th point.

14 to 8, Phil Jackson, who doesn't like to call timeouts, took the lead in requesting a timeout.

Now the Lakers must adjust, and Jackson is a little helpless. Kobe stood up and attacked deliberately, and shooting a three-pointer was the right choice. The key is that he had to make it.

If you can't make shots from the outside and there are obvious weaknesses in the inside that you can't grasp, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the opponent's defensive end.

Jackson gave Kobe an ideological lesson, emphasizing tactics, asking players to pass to O'Neal to play in the low post, and attacking from the inside out. As long as Willis is the center, he must boldly hit the basket, wait for the Raptors to use the meat shield center, and then the defender will focus on the attack.

You can score easily, so why not do it? Jackson's adjustments make sense.

As a result, Kobe was completely depressed.
