Chapter 517 [Dominate the basket, the plan fails]

Chapter 517 [Dominate the basket, the plan fails]

The Suns attacked, the three players pulled apart, and Nash and O'Neal Jr. played pick-and-rolls in the middle. This is the easiest routine for all teams. The Suns play in positional warfare is basically the same as the Lakers.

Nash attracted Rasheed to switch and passed the ball to the right bottom corner.The Lakers are zone defense, Bell is in the bottom corner and Yao Ming's side, this is a dislocation opportunity.

Yao Ming hurriedly threw out to interfere with the shot. Bell faltered and took a step to the left. He made a 45-degree shot. He avoided Yao Ming's defense, but the ball missed the basket. He took a step and made an emergency stop. It's better to go straight to it.

As soon as Yao Ming went out, the weakness appeared. Marion rushed to grab the offensive rebound, immediately took off and made a second attack, 3-2.

Rasheed's rebounding ability is mediocre, and his defense against Marion is like a dislocation.

The Lakers attacked, Yang Rui shouted "position 3 tactics" on the sidelines, Jones took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Rasheed, who asked for the ball in a step from the right three-point line, the latter leaned on Marion and turned to face the frame , passed the ball from the top of Marion's head to the low post, and Iguodala made a hollow cut.

The number tactic is the simplest code, which means that the number of players directly singles, and where Nash defends, it is easy to become a breakthrough.Iguodala reached the low post on the right and asked for the ball. He turned around and smeared into the basket with Nash. He jumped up with all his strength, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 5 to 2.

Barkley said: "D'Antoni has never paid much attention to defense. He can't use zone defense against the Lakers. Nash is not Kidd. "

Smith said with a smile: "D'Antoni and Yang Rui have worked together for many years, and they must understand the importance of offense and defense balance, but the Suns' lineup is doomed that they can't do this, and Nash is more suitable for Jones."

The Sun's offense was also looking for misplaced opportunities. Nash attracted Rasheed's defense after the pick-and-roll, and scored the ball from behind to O'Neal who followed up.Rashid turned back to defend again, and O'Neal had cut to the basket.

Yao Ming supplemented the defense, O'Neal took advantage of the situation to score the ball, Marion received the ball from the left bottom line, and scored in the open mid-range shot. 5 to 4.

The Lakers attacked, and D'Antoni shouted at the players on the sideline, turning their defense into man-to-man, and Nash went to guard Jones, who was the easiest to deal with.

Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll with Kobe in the middle, Marion switched defense, and Kobe gave Yao Ming the ball. At this time, Rasheed went to the left and gave Jones an off-ball cover to help him get rid of Nash to catch the ball.

Nash is called "no defense", which is an exaggeration. In fact, he is still very hard on the defensive end, at least willing to defend.He bypassed the cover to chase Jones, but was unable to get fit, and was blocked for a second. For the NBA's perimeter super pitcher, this was plenty of shot time.

Jones made a 70-degree jumper on the left side of the ball, 8-4.

CCTV5 Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Jones has a very hot hand today, and he scored two three-pointers in the opening game. Once he shoots, the Lakers will almost certainly win. This game is easy to play."

Yu Jia said: "There is no problem in attacking the Lakers. The key is to look at the defense. The two teams often cannot defend against each other during the regular season."

As soon as the words fell, the Suns had completed an attack. Marion missed a three-pointer from the left, and Yao Ming grabbed the rebound.

Jones slowly moved to the frontcourt to Kobe, and Kobe and Yao Ming played pick-and-roll again.

Instead of man-to-man defense, O'Neal Jr. had to switch to defend Kobe, otherwise his pull-up jumper would be very threatening.Even if the Suns won two games in the regular season, Kobe's data is not bad.

Kobe took the ball to the bottom line at full speed, attracting O'Neal Jr. to follow the defense and Bell to chase the defense and pass the ball to the middle by shooting.Yao Ming followed up, caught the ball in front of the reasonable collision zone, jumped up, and dunked the basketball with one hand. 10 to 4.

The cooperation between the two was smooth and smooth. As long as O'Neal stayed away from the penalty area, no one in the Suns could organize Yao Ming's shot at the basket.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe Bryant attracted interior defense in the 2006 playoffs, passing the ball to Kwame Brown and Lamar Odom, and he played seven games with the Suns. His ability to attract defense is too strong.

Brown is a butter player, and his low-post offense is not very good, but Yao Ming is a super insider with a shooting rate of more than 60% when he enters the basket.

The Suns attacked, Nash broke through and was double-teamed, separated the periphery, Hill made a three-pointer from the left side, missed the basket, and Rashid grabbed the rebound.

After joining the Suns, Hill's style of play has changed a lot, averaging 15.4 points and shooting 51.1% from the field.His shooting percentage is very high, but his three-point shooting has not been practiced well, and the shooting rate is only 28.6%.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant played a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming again, walked to the left to 45 degrees, and waited for Yao Ming to cut.

Little O'Neal knew that Yao Ming had no solution to the basket, so Bell chased after Kobe, and he got stuck in the middle.After Bryant faltered, he changed his direction and passed the bottom line and passed Bell, and dunked the basketball with one hand! 12 to 4.

Little O'Neal's figure is already very difficult to defend against Yao Ming, and it is too late to turn around and make up for the basket.

The Suns attacked and Bell received the ball from the bottom line. Under the slight interference of Yao Ming, the three-point shot missed the basket. The rebound was grabbed by the retreating Andre Iguodala and handed over to his teammates to land on the ground to ensure offensive efficiency.

The Suns played very fast, but the hit rate was not high, and they couldn't bring the Lakers' offensive rhythm up, so they were obviously at a disadvantage.

Entering the playoffs, the Lakers' defensive intensity has improved. Before playing against the Suns, Yao Ming basically did not guard out of the penalty area, defended and protected rebounds in the interior.Someone caught the ball from the bottom line today, and Yao Ming also went out to interfere with the shot.It's okay to shoot two points, don't try to shoot three points easily.

Bell is not Joe Johnson. His offensive ability with the ball is very poor. Once Yao Ming saves, his choice is not to break through with the ball, but to shoot quickly or pass the ball to find teammates.If "Singles Joe" is still there, Yao Ming will definitely be shriveled.

The Suns started, and the most accurate three-pointer was Nash. No matter which side Nash received the ball on, the Lakers defended the outside shot closely. Nash made a breakthrough. Shaquille O'Neal three shot from long distance.

Hollins' defensive system is simple and effective, and the players can execute tactics well.

The Suns can still score, mainly relying on fast breaks, Yao Ming shot without returning to the basket.Regardless of whether the shot is made or not, the Lakers will not fight back, slow down and hit the success rate.

Kobe would first lead O'Neal out of the perimeter, and then Yao Ming attacked under the basket. Like the last round of the series, the cooperation of the two suppressed the opponent.

Little O'Neal didn't switch defenses, Kobe shot, Little O'Neal defended, Yao Ming shot in the penalty area, and Hill and Marion couldn't even pull back.

The biggest weakness of the Suns is the lack of a meat shield center. There is no big man who can resist in the interior. The backup Hunter is also a mobile center with no weight.

In the middle of the season, Alonzo Mourning, who came back after a kidney transplant, was cut by the Magic. The Suns wanted to invite him to join him. Although his strength was not as good as before, Mourning could still defend in the penalty area. A basic salary is totally worth it. .

However, Mourning has special feelings for the Heat, and chose to join the Heat with a basic salary. He wanted to help the team win the championship and became an important substitute for O'Neal, which made the Suns plan fail.

During the regular season, Yao Ming just came back from injury in April. Yang Rui was afraid that he would get injured again, so he reserved it, and there were not many low-position attacks.Now in the playoffs, Yao Ming has no need to preserve his strength. After adding more air cuts, the Suns can't defend.

“嗑药组合”打满首节，科比7投4中，三分球2中1，罚球2中2，得到11分4助攻。

姚名8投6中，罚球2中2，得到14分4篮板2助攻。

The pair led the Lakers to a 37-24 lead.
