The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1322 Change to win
UPDATE: Wilson's return is a signal that the transition is over.
The Lakers will gradually return the starters to the court, and the Blazers will also return Olajuwon after a few minutes.
What Louie was curious about was, when did Laili plan to let Jordan rest?
Wouldn't people play the full 48 minutes in the first game of the series?
No matter how hard Jordan is, he is 34 years old this year. The NBA playoffs are not a decisive game.
After all, Lai Li was not as dazed as Louis imagined.
After Olajuwon came up, the Blazers deliberately focused on the inside.
Olajuwon fulfilled his mission and blew up Ostertag with agility beyond the center level.
The Lakers' inside line was punched into a hole, Ostertag couldn't prevent Dameng, and Rodman ate two fouls. With less than 5 minutes left in the second quarter, the Blazers narrowed the point difference to 4 points.
Barkley and Garnett returned to the court.
Louie sees the series against the Blazers as a long war of attrition.
In terms of absolute strength, the Blazers, who have super giants inside and outside, are obviously stronger, but the Lakers will definitely win the final victory.
Louis has full confidence in this.
When the Lakers changed back to the main core players, they also re-defined their style of play.
The interior high and low tactics that have become the Lakers' signature are running quickly.
However, the details are different from before.
The regular high-low coordination of the Lakers' insiders is often Barkley's inside and Garnett's outside. This kind of combination is easy to understand. Garnett has a flanking offensive ability with the ball and a very stable mid-to-long-range shot, while Barkley's local destructive power with the ball can be called O'Neal in the fourth position.
The technical style of these two is a perfect match in terms of high and low positions.
The Lakers suddenly let Garnett go low and Barkley pull high, which made the Blazers a little unbelievable.
This is completely self-defeating martial arts, right?
Lai Li thought to himself after reading it.
Moreover, Barkley is not only pulled to a high position, but also has a tendency to lean outside the three-point line.
Since Barkley has a certain three-point threat, Clifford Robinson can't let him pull out casually, and has to follow him.
This highlights the significance of the Lakers' approach.
However, in order to pull Robinson out, is it necessary to abolish Barkley's inside kills?
The Lakers set up their formation, but the real intention was for Wilson and Dumars to take turns to attack from the outside with the ball, focusing on attacking the Blazers inside.
Garnett, who was facing up against Olajuwon, did not choose to get stuck and ask for the ball like Barkley did. He just ran out to pick and roll and cover for his teammates after a few confrontations with Dameng.
Because Garnett also has the threat of COSCO, Olajuwon can only pull it out.
It was this little bit of pulling that made Wilson and Dumas fight fearlessly inside.
Olajuwon was exhausted and Robinson was too far away to help.
When Wilson completed two layups in a row, Dameng tried to ignore Garnett and focus on protecting the rim.
Wilson and Dumars each fed Garnett a ball.
Garnett also lived up to expectations, and made all the long-range shots in the two open positions.
Dameng's defense lost its direction.
He can neither let go of Garnett's defense completely, nor can he find energy to protect his own rim.
Seeing this, Laili asked Robinson to leave Barkley alone and only follow to the free throw line every time to help Dameng relieve the defensive pressure on the inside.
This arrangement is completely betting on Barkley's three-point shooting percentage.
Larry is lucky tonight, and Barkley's three-pointer is not online.
Louis made a decisive decision and replaced the tragedy division again, replacing Barkley.
Suddenly, the Lakers had four "Knights" on the court.
Dumars joked: "I feel like I'm a particularly out-of-group, don't you guys want to play 'b-b' (beautiful basketball)?"
Wilson laughed: "Even if we hit 'b-b', you don't have to be nervous, just stay where you are and watch."
The condition for starting "Beautiful Basketball" is not the appearance of all members of the Cavaliers. In fact, the "Lone Star" tactic accidentally created by Kobe and Rodman made Louis realize that as long as the time is right, even two people can play "Beautiful Basketball" ".
However, Louis didn't mean to start "Beautiful Basketball" at this moment, but wanted the tragedian to continue to implement the strategy just now.
Unlike Rodman, the tragic division is more suitable for the current position than Barkley in all aspects except that he no longer has the offensive threat of blasting the opponent's defense line through personal ability.
Especially now they don't need the explosive ability inside.
As long as the tragedian has the ball at the top of the arc, he is a terrible threat.
The Blazers dare to let him go, and his nearly 40% three-point shooting rate will make the opponent pay the price.
If the Blazers' defense is completely pulled out, then Dameng will fall into the defensive dilemma just now.
Lili thought of another trick.
If the tragedy is to pull outside, Robinson does not follow out and asks other teammates to switch defenses. He will watch another person himself, and the main focus of defense will still be on the inside.
This arrangement is for Robinson to exert his subjective initiative, not only to protect the basket, but also to deter the Lakers' shooters.
The man in charge of handing over to Robinson was Rex Chapman, and his counterpart was... Benjamin Wilson.
Louie's first feeling when he saw this arrangement was that the Blazers' coaching staff had lost their minds, but looking at it from another angle, Wilson was already the player with the lowest outside three-point shooting percentage among the Lakers players besides the tragedies.
This is a seemingly unreasonable decision, but a reasonable decision made after careful consideration.
Robinson allowed Wilson to receive the pass from a distance of one and a half meters.
Wilson didn't know why the Blazers suddenly made such a suicidal defense. Since the opponent gave the opportunity, the shot was over.
"Shua!"
Wilson started the open three-point shooting practice.
The Blazers, who had a big problem on the defensive end, want to get it back on the offensive end.
They do find it.
At a glance, the Lakers' defensive loopholes are very clear.
Through the pick-and-roll roll call, Jordan seized the weakness of the tragedian's slow movement, and directly came up with a beating that disrespected the elderly.
As the player who suffered the most from being named, Barkley even found that the Blazers sometimes figured out how to name the tragedian before halftime.
The Lakers choose to do whatever they want, except that Garnett will come to help defend and interfere with Jordan, there is no other operation.
The tragedy division was indeed scored a lot by Jordan.
But Jordan hit at most nearly 60% of the field goals on the tragic division, because Garnett's help defense is influential after all.
However, the outside shooting practice formed by the Lakers' continuous pulling outside, once shot 70% of the shots.
At halftime, the Blazers fell behind by 12 points again.
Five minutes before the second half, the Lakers opened the point difference to 18 points.
Laili finally couldn't take it anymore, and asked Clifford Robinson to strictly guard against the Lakers' three-pointers from the outside. At the same time, he put pressure on Jordan to help Dameng ease the defensive pressure on the inside as much as possible while taking care of the outside defense.
As the No. 2 position, Jordan's ability to block shots can be regarded as the top level in history in the same position. From the past to the future, the only No. 2 position that can compare with Jordan in the attribute of protecting the basket is Dwyane Wade.
However, things are not so easy.
Because Jordan is facing Liu Yuqing, the Lakers are currently the most unmissable shooter.
Once the Lakers catch the opportunity, Liu Yuqing's hands are not soft~www.mtlnovel.com~ Jordan just helped Dameng successfully defend a goal, and the tragedian noticed this section.
If it is an appetizer for Wilson to practice open shots and dunks for Garnett before, then grabbing Jordan's gap inside to protect the basket and feeding Liu Yuqing comfortably is to destroy the Blazers all night The poison of hard work.
Liu Yuqing just caught and shot the ball and completed the harvest.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers, who were 20+ behind, had no hope of making a comeback, so Laili replaced Jordan to rest.
This move shows that they have given up on this game.
It's a pity that Louis didn't let Jordan play for a few more minutes, so where is the waste?
A few minutes later, although the point difference did not widen, the Blazers were unable to chase points, so Laili replaced Chapman, Robinson and Olajuwon.
The game is officially in garbage time.
