Chapter 506 [The battle of the stars, the posture is picturesque! 】

The NBA selects the best defensive player. Generally, the insider with beautiful data is elected. The meat shield center with many rebounds and blocks is the first choice of reporters. In fact, the overall defense of a team has the greatest relationship with the swingman.

The height of swingers is generally between 195CM-205CM. They can defend both defenders and insiders. The speed can keep up with general defenders, and they will not be easily eaten by insiders with strength and height.In the zone defense system, small forwards must not only defend the bottom line, but also retreat at any time to help defend the penalty area, defend against strong hits, breakthroughs, and shots.

All championship-winning teams may not have good point guards or good centers, but they must have good wing swingmen, without exception.

The most typical example is the Clippers in Yang Rui's previous life, with two super-physical star insiders, Chris Paul, who has been known as the first point guard in the NBA for many years, and Crawford, the best sixth man, who has been around for many years. Redick, a super pitcher with a three-point percentage of more than [-]%, has never had the best record in the regular season, and will never pass the second round of the playoffs.

The biggest problem for the Clippers is that the swingman is weak and the flank defense is poor, which was not solved until Paul left.

In 2017, Paul finally had enough of the Clippers management, and the defense on the flank was also bad. The Rockets, who won by three-pointers and fast breaks, went to abuse.

Since Yang Rui entered the league, he has always relied on swingers to win. His team must have at least three outstanding swingmen, and the Grizzlies coaching staff copied this style of play.

After several passes, the Lakers were unable to pass the ball. Yao Ming received the ball low on the right, faced White's defense, and turned to the right to shoot.

Yao Ming created space with a smooth back and missed the basket under the interference of White.

White is currently 211cm tall, weighs 102kg, and is relatively thin, but his wingspan is an astonishing 227cm, which can interfere with Yao Ming's jump shot.

Gasol grabbed the backcourt rebounds, the Grizzlies had a positional battle, the ball was still handed over to Gasol’s high-level organization after a high pick-and-roll, and Miller and White on the side avoided Iguodala without the ball to cover the ball, and wanted to catch the ball. In the shot, Kobe released Gasol's defense in the middle.

Miller passed the ball to Gasol in the middle, the latter caught and shot, Yao Ming saved from the baseline and successfully interfered with the shot, and the ball went wide.

White rushed to grab the offensive rebound and started quickly, but the two Lakers players retracted faster, and the Iguodalaka helped Rashid grab the backcourt rebound.

The Lakers attacked. Kobe and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll. This time, Battier bypassed Yao Ming and quickly chased the defense in place. Kobe moved the ball to the middle, and White blocked it.

Yao Ming responded from a high position and passed it to Jones, who was running on the side. Gasol also switched quickly.Jones passed Rasheed again. The latter dribbled the ball and wanted to storm the basket. Davis played his role again. As a point guard, he was not afraid of confrontation with the power forward.

Rasheed didn't push Davis away, and was stuck with the ball to the inside lane, so he had to switch to a jumper based on his height. Although he avoided the block, the rhythm of his shot was not good, and the ball missed the basket. The rebound was grabbed by White, who dropped back.

Yao Ming didn't rush for the offensive rebound, and went back to the defense directly. The others returned to the defense faster, ensuring the zone defense.

The Grizzlies players couldn't find a space in the perimeter for a few passes. Davis relied on covering the perimeter to catch the ball and missed a three-pointer. He got rid of Jones and Rashid by his speed. Unfortunately, it was not a convulsive state today, and no one guarded three points. Scores may not be accurate.

Yao Ming won the rebound, the Lakers battled the Lakers' position, Kobe received the ball and directly singled out Shane Battier, and the breakthrough to the bottom line attracted Miller to double-team the ball and Iguodala didn't make a jumper.

The two sides played very ugly at the beginning. It was not until the 3rd minute that Yao Ming opened the scoring. He received a pass from Kobe in the low post on the left, singled out White, turned around in the middle, and hit a hook against the defense. 2 to 0.

Barkley said: "It is still necessary for the Lakers to find two centers to train Yao Ming. In the regular season, against the underdogs, the Lakers can easily score with cooperation. In the playoffs, if they are against a team with excellent defense, like the Grizzlies. If there is no obvious weakness, the key depends on the ability of the star. Yao Ming is good at attacking now."

Smith said: "Kobe is still looking for his touch. He missed two pull-up jumpers in the opening game. Battier's defense is really good, very clean, and rarely fouls. He is likely to be selected for the All-Defensive Team this season."

The Grizzlies attacked. Davis and Gasol played a pick-and-roll in the middle. After attracting Rasheed to defend, they passed the ball to the middle. Gasol took the ball and shot, but Kobe failed to cover it and scored. 2 to 2.

Gasol's offensive ability is not a vegetarian. He is a typical European insider, with accurate mid-range shooting, solid footwork at the basket, and can post ups and hooks on both sides.

Now some people think that Gasol is the boss of the Grizzlies, and his tactical role is more obvious.

Jones took the ball to the front court, and Yang Rui stood up on the sidelines and shouted at the players: "Change the way of play, Kobe's singles with the ball on the right!"

The two big men understood and pulled out. The Grizzlies were man-to-man, and the inside guard followed. Rasheed passed the ball to Kobe on the right.

Bryant received the ball low and backed Battier twice, turned to the bottom line and made a jumper with a picturesque posture, facing the defense and entering the net hollow. 4 to 2.

From the very beginning, Yang Rui planned to use his star ability to solve the problem. Today, Yao's singles are not very efficient, so he will be replaced by Kobe.

The Grizzlies attacked. Miller relied on White's off-ball cover on the left to get rid of the ball. He faltered 70 degrees. Yao Ming went out of the penalty area without guarding.

Miller changed direction with the ball and made a pull-up jumper inside the three-point line. 4 to 4.

The Lakers attacked, and the routine was still very clear. The two insiders pulled out of the three-point line. Jones dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to Rasheed, and the latter passed it to Kobe on the right.

Kobe took the ball at 50 degrees, and the face frame put on a three-threat posture. After walking, he suddenly turned to the bottom line, and quickly started to shake off Battier.Battier chased from the side, Bryant jumped the lever in the air, dodged the cover and scored a basketball. 6 to 4.

The Grizzlies attacked and tried their best to run tactics. After 20 seconds, there was no chance. Gasol caught the ball in the middle and made a strong shot. Under the interference of Kobe, he missed the basket and the rebound was obtained by Yao Ming.

Although the difference has not been opened, the two sides have shown some gaps, and the Grizzlies' offense looks more difficult.

Kenny Smith said: "The advantage of the Grizzlies is the balance of offense and defense and the depth of the lineup, but it is difficult for them to win the championship because they lack a scorer who is good at breaking through with the ball. Only Davis is good at breaking through, and the other four are good at breaking through. It is mainly about opening the ball and shooting. It is enough to deal with the average inside team. Facing the Lakers inside, it is difficult for Davis to break into the basket."

Barkley said: "The Grizzlies' backup and Bunch Wells can break through. He can't make three points. He overlaps with Davis. Les is easier to play. I think Jerry has seen through the Grizzlies, and today is to fight with them, not fast break."

At this time, Kobe received the ball and started singles, three threats on the right side, and protruding from the bottom line. Battier made an accurate judgment and got stuck.Bryant dribbled the ball against Battier, shielded the basketball with his back, turned around quickly in the middle, and made a back jumper.

Kobe's speed was very fast, and Battier's prediction was also very accurate. He jumped up and didn't block the basketball, and covered Kobe's face with his right hand, which had an eye-sealing effect and made the opponent invisible to the basket.

Kobe Bryant couldn't see the basket and shot correctly, just a glance was enough, and the ball went into the net hollow. 8 to 4.

As long as Kobe feels good, the Lakers' offense cannot be restricted!
