1072. The left-handed magician!
The Hawks didn't let McGrady hit Luke Walton on the first offense, which was beyond Jackson's expectation.
In addition to guarding against heavy guards, Fisher can only guard against spot-up shooters most of the time. Originally, Jackson was prepared to deal with Liu Mang or Tracy McGrady's single-handed defense strategy of Luke Walton, but he did not expect Liu Mang to directly pick and roll in the high post.
Yao Ming's pick-and-roll defense...is worse than O'Neal's.
The Lakers attacked, Fisher advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Kobe.
McGrady defends in front of Kobe, the confrontation between two high school superstars!
Kobe saw that it was Tracy McGrady who was guarding him, and waved Luke Walton, who was asking for the ball from the high post, to go away.
Hit the Eagles pass? Just do it!
The Zen master put his hands on his thighs for support, crossed his eight fingers, and made circles with his thumbs. This was what he expected.
Luke Walton saw this situation and made another gesture. Yao Ming immediately moved to the high post, and Fisher ran from the left corner to the right corner.
Kobe moved towards the top arc, Yao Ming brought Kwame Brown to the right side of the top arc, Luke Walton led Prince to the left side of the top arc, and the Lakers set up two pick-and-rolls in succession!
What a tactic is this!
Liu Mang followed Fisher from the left corner to the right corner. When he got to the left corner, he looked at the formation in the high post. Didn't Kobe just play in isolation?
Kobe used the pick-and-roll and moved toward the left side of the top arc. This made the Hawks defenders really don't know what to do. Is it Yao Ming who really wants to pick-and-roll, or Luke Walton?
At the same time, Fisher, who reached the bottom corner on the right, moved toward the left at a 45-degree angle.
Liu Mang quickly followed up, trying to hit Fisher's 45-degree three-pointer!
At this time, Odom came up and blocked the chasing Liu Mang. At this time, because Yao Ming was the first to step forward to block, McGrady, who was blocked, immediately came over to defend Fisher, but Fisher used Odom to block him.
After running the pick-and-roll in the mid-range at a 45-degree angle, instead of withdrawing from the 45-degree three-point line, he circled and ran inside.
On the other side, during the second pick-and-roll at the same time, Luke Walton blocked Kwame Brown, who was guarding Kobe Bryant, and then cut inside. Rasheed Wallace received the basket, and Yao Ming moved to the right to take a free throw at a 45-degree angle.
Empty beyond the line distance!
Kobe's ball has been passed, and Yao Ming received the ball and took an open shot from mid-range...
Hit!
Easy two-point shot!
So relaxing!
With an additional point guard who can shoot without sticking to the ball and is willing to run, Yao Ming got a very easy shooting opportunity, blocked someone, took two steps, and was open!
Immediate effect!
Liu Mang looked at Kobe Bryant with a smile on his face when he returned to defense, this big liar! The promised singles game is here!
But what the hell is this Lakers tactic!
This was a team collaboration that Liu Mang had never seen before, but it seemed like a triangle attack.
Liu Mang silently memorized the tactics, received the serve and advanced towards the frontcourt.
Kobe waited for Liu Mang to advance to the frontcourt. Just two or three seconds after Yao Ming made the pass, he felt that the pass was quite good.
After Liu Mang reached the frontcourt, he encountered Kobe's defense and was unable to break through. He broke through to the basket with Yao Ming. Liu Mang continued to pick and roll, and Kwame Brown came out with Yao Ming.
However, before Liu Mang could take advantage of Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll, Kobe suddenly came forward. Liu Mang quickly controlled the ball, but took a step back and stayed away from the three-point line!
Liu Mang watched Kobe Bryant with his back to Kwame Brown coming to the three-point line, outside the pick-and-roll. Yao Ming was a little behind Kwame Brown, blocking Kwame Brown from cutting.
The pick-and-roll didn't work!
The Lakers were beaten unexpectedly on the first possession, but they had already been prepared and prepared to defend against pick-and-rolls! After the Eagles used a lot of pick-and-rolls in the last game against the Sonics, Jackson began to think about how to defend.
I was so desperate that I finally found a solution.
Liu Mang was more than one meter away from the three-point line. When he saw this, he just pulled it up and threw it away!
Super long-distance three-pointer!
When Liu Mang took action, there was an exclamation of surprise...
"Bang..."
The Los Angeles basket habitually refuses to be entered, so Liu Mang made a three-pointer!
Odom protects the defensive rebound and the Lakers attack.
The Hawks retreated quickly. Rasheed Wallace did not rush for offensive rebounds, but directly returned to defense. The gap between him and Odom in rebounding was huge. Odom's rebounding was better than him in his rookie season.
.
Odom grabbed the defensive rebound and advanced toward the frontcourt. Instead of continuing with the previous tactics, Odom held the ball in the top arc.
Kobe asked Odom for the ball, but Odom didn't give it to him and waved Kobe away.
Kobe had no choice but to drop to the low post, bring the defense in, and give Odom a chance for a single.
Among active players, in terms of talent, Kobe only admires two people, one is Tracy McGrady and the other is Odom.
When Odom wants to play singles, it means he is serious. Kobe will not interrupt Odom's singles with the ball. It is not easy for this guy to be serious once.
"Ding... the talent skill Absolute Talent triggers, Lamar Odom enters a state of concentration."
"Ding... It's absolutely omnipotent, and Lamar Odom can switch freely between the No. 1 and No. 5 positions."
"Lamar Odom (focused state): Ability value 95, offense 91, defense 85, three-pointer 81, mid-range shot 80, layup 91, speed 86, strength 87, rebounds 95, ball control 95, passing 90
…”
Hearing this reminder, Liu Mang didn't know whether to say something or not. The Lakers were too well prepared today. They had different offensive tactics and prepared defenses. Even Odom took it seriously!
Liu Mang followed Fisher and looked around the sidelines. He saw a woman he thought was bloated and understood why Odom was serious.
Today, Odom's new girlfriend Khloe Kardashian came to the scene to watch the game, and Odom rarely became serious.
Liu Mang is following Fisher in the left corner, McGrady is fighting with Kobe in the low post, Yao Ming pulls to the right baseline and takes away Kwame Brown from the middle distance, and Luke Walton takes away Prince at a 45-degree angle on the left
, the Lakers' space is very wide, which is very different from when Smush Parker was there. If Smush Parker was there, Liu Mang would double attack.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Rasheed Wallace lowered his focus and defended Odom in the top arc without even daring to blink.
Like a point guard, Odom dribbled the ball continuously with his hips, and the fans cheered one after another.
Odom's singles game is coming! A 2.08 meter point guard!
Just when Rasheed Wallace silently cursed Odom for dribbling and hitting his foot, Odom broke through to the left!
Rasheed Wallace quickly moved sideways to the right, but Odom, like an outside line, suddenly changed direction, slapped the ball to the left, and passed Rasheed Wallace!
This is really unstoppable!
Rasheed Wallace had done his best, and Odom rushed toward the basket.
Kwame Brown was pulled away by Yao Ming and did not dare to block it. Kobe pulled him towards the left mid-range. McGrady saw Odom's height and weight and decided to chase Kobe.
Odom entered the free throw line one step away, jumped high and flew towards the basket!
The fans at the scene had already started cheering after Odom passed Rasheed Wallace. Odom rushed forward seriously, and he was equally unstoppable! This is the body of a real center who is 2.08 meters tall! Even with the defender
Just as fast!
Just as the fans were cheering crazily, suddenly it seemed as if a gun was stuck in their throats, and the cheers suddenly stopped...
Odom was flying in the air, thinking about how he was going to dunk the ball, and then suddenly realized that he had flown out of the baseline! He quickly passed the ball, and it happened to be passed to Liu Mang, who ran in and was ready to receive the serve and start a counterattack.
"Ding... Habitual distraction triggers. After playing a wonderful moment, you will always be too proud. It comes from Lamar Odom."
Liu Mang was stunned. When he saw Odom jumping up to face the empty basket, he was ready to quickly receive the serve and counterattack. Who knew that just as he ran to the three-second zone, a ball flew towards his face?
come over.
Liu Mang subconsciously caught the ball!
He didn't look up just now, thinking that Odom had dunked the ball in and flew out of the baseline, but he didn't expect that!
McGrady was the first to react and ran down the court. Liu Mang also reacted immediately and passed the ball long!
Liu Mang's passing accuracy was amazing. All the passes in the court fell into McGrady's hands just as McGrady rushed into the free throw line.
McGrady jumped up to catch the ball, but instead of dunking, he landed first.
Just when McGrady landed, Kobe jumped from behind the free throw line, fanned out, and missed!
McGrady got up again, dodged Kobe's pursuit and blocked the shot, then put the layup up and scored two points.
Liu Mang received the first assist.
At 4-2, the Eagles still held a two-point lead.
Liu Mang didn't know what to say to Odom. One second he was super, and the next second he was even better.
Kobe picked up the ball speechlessly and saw Odom's silly smile when he ran back to receive the serve. Kobe really wanted to give this guy an elbow and let him have a taste of the Los Angeles elbow.
Kobe passed the ball to Odom, and Odom continued to advance.
Odom didn't make any mistakes this time. He continued to break through and focused on attacking the basket. Odom broke through too easily just now. Kwame Brown shrank to the basket this time and rushed towards Odom.
Dom passed the ball to Yao Ming on the baseline. Yao Ming hit a mid-range fadeaway jumper when Rasheed Wallace rushed to cover!
Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row!
This time it was the Eagles' turn to exceed expectations!
The leader of the Lakers' opening offense was not Kobe. Kobe even failed to take a shot for three consecutive offenses. This is inconsistent with his average of 26 shots per game, which accounted for nearly one-third of the Lakers' shots!
And it's not Yao Ming playing alone, it's Luke Walton directing or Odom attacking with the ball!
Like the Hawks, the Lakers' triangle offensive system is also open, and players have the power to decide their own offense on the court.
Previously, it was because the point guard was so bad that Smush Parker couldn't play for any other team. He only played 16 games in the past two seasons combined, and he actually played with the Lakers.
