The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 731 lakers gone

,!

Game1's too easy victory gave the Lakers an illusion.

Don't pay too much attention to the Knicks' three-pointers.

Because Pat Riley decided to learn from Louie-pocket formation is an important part of Louis' defensive system, and he treats most teams with pocket formation as the main defense.

A reporter once asked him why he was so obsessed with pocket formations. Louis said confidently: "Because no team can win the game with three-pointers."

Riley took the best of it, and when he played against the Knicks, he also believed that three-pointers could not win the game.

The victory of game1 seems to prove this point.

They willfully missed the Knicks' three-pointer. In the first half, KJ and the tragic division showed their power one after another. The difference in the offensive ceiling between the two teams is not yet obvious.

In the second half, the Lakers still didn't wake up from the idea of ​​giving up the Knicks' open three-pointers at will, even though their opponents had already shot 40%+ three-pointers in the first half-the Lakers' pocket formation had an obvious problem. They can't handle the Knicks' shooters. . As long as they run a little bit, the Lakers' defense can't take care of it.

Rather than taking care of the shooter, Riley wants to guard against Ewing's offense at the basket and Wilson and others' offense with the ball. As a result, Pippen and David Robinson's assistance defense also has excessive assistance. Too many troops - the Knicks have seen through the Bucks' thinking, and they are paying more and more attention to finding outside teammates when encountering help defenses.

Miller started to score three points.

Riley tensed up when his outside three gave the Knicks a 10-point advantage.

He replaced players with poor defensive performance, abandoned Divac, who was not as good at protecting the basket as Robinson, and had insufficient rotational defensive speed, and maintained a tall lineup of four forwards and one center.

Tall is the characteristic of showtime3.0 Lakers.

There are big benefits. The Lakers have been enjoying the benefits of players whose average size is generally higher than that of their opponents throughout the season-better rim protection, better rebound protection, better anti-interference shooting-but the Knicks are not like the Western Conference. Like other teams, they were overwhelmed by the Lakers' tall lineup.

Louie can see the problem of the Lakers' tall lineup at a glance: poor pick-and-roll mobility, unable to switch defenses, or in other words, if they switch defenses, they will be targeted.

In order to punish the tall lineup of the Lakers, Louis played his advantage as a passer, let Wilson hold the ball, and linked the inside to use a large number of "Spanish pick-and-rolls" to launch offenses.

The Spanish pick-and-roll usually only occurs near the middle of the left and right 45° (except for special defensive situations), and the left and right bottom corners ambush the shooter to open (there may also be a shooter on the weak side flank), and at the same time, stand as a backup to stand on the pass of the ball holder. On the line of the ball, if the tactics fail and are forced to pass, you can immediately dribble to the line and hand-off with the disassembled players.

The personnel configuration is similar to the high double screen, a big man who is used to rolling down + a shooter + ball handler, the ball handler is the commander of this tactic, the big player blocks the first screen and then rolls down, the shooter is the straight The down player makes a second screen (usually a back screen), because at this time the space is already small and the distance to the basket is relatively close, so the defender often cannot communicate the defensive changes in time.

Louis didn't start to formally build the system in his second season when he came to the Knicks that year. For this reason, he introduced 19 screen methods to the players in the team.

A large portion of these screens are incomprehensible to players.

The Spanish pick-and-roll is one of them. This pick-and-roll is not called the Spanish pick-and-roll in the Knicks.

Because there are not a lot of pick-and-roll tactics around the 45-degree angle on the left and right sides of the middle, many professional coaches don't understand the tactical value of doing so.

Ewing has the best understanding of this pick-and-roll, so Louis named this pick-and-roll the Jamaica pick-and-roll.

Wilson dominated the ball, put Ewing in the pick-and-roll, put Miller on the side of the pick-and-roll, used his lethal shooting threat, and waited for the Lakers' defense to fail.

Robinson has the ability to switch any Knicks player, Pippen is also an incredible defensive gate, but Miller on the weak side has created the deepest fear of the Lakers.

The Lakers need to prevent Ewing from cutting inside, and also avoid being directly attacked by Wilson with a pick-and-roll to the basket.

Players guarding Miller had to distract themselves, and that was Miller's chance.

In the first round, Miller made a three-pointer from the corner.

Afterwards, Wilson faced Robinson's defense change, saw the opponent stretched out his defensive position to prevent him from breaking through, and made a heartbreaking outside shot.

When the Lakers wanted to prevent Wilson and not give Miller a chance to shoot, Ewing's pass created a new offensive opportunity.

Miller, who received the ball from the bottom corner, threw an alley-oop pass.

The gorilla abused the basket instantly.

Can't win the three-pointer?

If you have four 3-point shooters with shooting threats at the same time, this statement does not hold true.

Louie found that the Jamaican pick-and-roll was like an allergen that made the Lakers uncomfortable. He replaced others, and only placed Ewing as a center inside, with Wilson, Ainge, Reggie Williams, and Miller on the outside.

Suddenly, with the exception of Ewing, the other four Knicks on the court were players who couldn't be emptied.

Taking chances, the Lakers tried to open Ainge and Williams to defend. Valley

They either catch and shoot the ball, or break through with the ball and pass it out, oppressing the Lakers' defense time and time again.

The most desperate time for the Lakers was when the Knicks rotated the ball gorgeously after Ewing performed the Jamaican pick-and-roll. The Lakers also performed a lot of defensive rotations in order to keep up with the ball.

In the end, they rotated Ewing's personnel, from David Robinson to tragedy.

Ewing got the ball under the basket, and a dunk was made across the Tractor's body.

"Coach Lu, is there a solution to this attack?"

Zhao Yuanzheng also knows the Knicks' offensive system very well. He never thought that a change in pick-and-roll tactics would bring such terrifying offensive energy.

"There are two solutions." Louie said a word of nonsense first, "If we can't make a three-pointer, it will not solve itself."

"Then, what about another solution?" Zhao Yuanzheng asked.

Louis pointed to the ongoing positional battle of the Knicks, "Pay attention to Russ (Reggie Williams nickname 1)."

The key to Jamaica's integration into the system is not the pick-and-roll itself.

In fact, what really matters is the second screen that Reggie Williams runs after the Ewing pick-and-roll.

The timing of his screen is very important, so that the opponent cannot detect the existence of the screen too early. Williams' screen is mainly to provide protection for Ewing's inside cut. Ewing cuts inside. He is responsible for delaying the defender chasing Ewing. When the screen starts, he must wait for Ewing to be completely behind him before receiving the ball outside, and his outside-out route must always be kept in the ball holder. On the passing line and within controllable range.

At this point, it's up to Wilson.

For him, he must make good use of the top and bottom of the free throw line, which is the last area to make offensive choices; avoid breaking too deep, which will lead to losing the passing line, losing the speed of transferring the ball, and losing room for manipulation. If you go too deep, you will face the dilemma of no ball line and no shot space. Even if the ball is barely sent, the ball speed will be too slow due to space and angle problems, resulting in mistakes or insufficient space for the shooter.

Wilson perfectly fulfilled the task Louis assigned him.

Zhao Yuanzheng has an apprentice's heart. He always thinks that he doesn't know enough, so for a long time, whenever other teams invite him to be the chief scout, he always refuses.

He never let Louis know about these things.

Today, he is convinced once again that staying with Louie will be more helpful to his future.

Not everyone is in charge of a championship team at a young age like Louie. In fact, Louie is the only exception in basketball history.

Suddenly, the Lakers didn't seem to know how to defend.

The reason why they were so successful in the first game was because they took the pit defense correctly and the Knicks' touch was very cooperative.

Now the Knicks are actively looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers with their tactics. After the shooters feel better, the Lakers are a little bit helpless. After all, the teams they met before have no way to have this kind of power on the three-point line. of.

When Riley trailed by 16 points, he made a desperate attempt to get David Robinson out of the paint to interfere with the Knicks' perimeter shooters.

The outcome of the Lakers is doomed.

After the big man was pulled out of the penalty area, the Lakers' basket protection collapsed on the spot, and the Knicks penetrated the penalty area.

Then, the habit of paying too much attention to protecting the basket so far this season has caused them to habitually miss three-pointers. Even if Riley strongly urged players to block the Knicks' three-pointers, the Knicks' outside space is still under the guidance of the system. It's popping up one after the other.

This may be a root problem of the Lakers, but it is rare for people to shoot three-pointers like this before so they didn't find it-after all, their offense is good enough, and the two games against the Knicks~www.mtlnovel.com~Riley Putting on the ancestral talent (release water), which made them lose the opportunity to test their own flaws in the regular season.

The defense collapsed, and the offense also collapsed.

They fought and fought, and their confidence was gone.

Basketball is frequently sent to the tragedies, there are few dynamic offensive tactics, and one person plays too many rounds with four people watching. Except for the tragedies, the problem of poor shooting cannot be solved immediately, no matter how strong the tragedies are. , Facing the offensive firepower of the Knicks both inside and outside, they are also powerless.

If the Lakers save the situation with a giant star in the first half.

Then in the second half, even if their superstars are fully fired, they can't change the ending of being blown up by the Knicks on both offense and defense.

"Happily, the Knicks are back."

"It's a pity that the Lakers are gone too." Hubie Brown said vividly, "Even if they stole the Knicks' home court advantage in msg, I can't imagine what they have to do to get from the Knicks again." Get a win."

1 Reggie Williams' nickname is also russ, the same as Russell's "Russell". To avoid overlap, use Ruth to distinguish Russell from Russell.
