Chapter 526 Physical advantage shows power

In the ABC live broadcast, Gomez analyzed seriously: “The offense of the two major insiders of the Blazers is actually quite good, with a total of 7 of 12 shots and a hit rate of 58.3%. Old K’s single defense and assist defense are both. It can be regarded as a top-level player. He can play this efficiency under the defense of him and his teammates, and his offensive performance cannot be considered bad.

But I think the Blazers must first adjust their strategy of defending Old K. The defensive efficiency of the two major offensive and defensive insiders is too poor. Let Old K score 20 points in a single quarter and hit 72.7%. This is not wanting to win. Is the ball?

And the Lakers’ No. 4’s mid-range shooting ability is not strong. Whether it’s Fortson or Hill, they can only be considered to be able to shoot, but they are definitely not pitchers. The Lakers’ No. 4 position is not very strong. Big Dream can help defend in a timely manner on the weak side. Why is the defensive efficiency so poor? ”

  Elanton analyzed: “The main reason is that the old K played too fiercely in the first quarter, and did not hesitate to use physical strength, as if it would take a quarter to defeat the Blazers.

   And he did not go directly to the basket, but played from the outside, giving full play to the advantages of his strong impact and face-to-the-basket skills.

   In the first quarter, he didn’t need to play with his back at all, he directly faced the basket. His pace was very strange, and Duncan couldn’t prevent his breakthrough to the basket. And once he rushes in, with his impact, how do you ask Da Meng to make up for it, use your body to block it?

Old K made 3 of 3 shots from the front, and he played too aggressively. He was caught off guard by hitting the Blazers. I didn’t expect him to play so aggressively. At the back, Da Meng and Duncan strengthened their defense, so that Old K’s six attacks could only be in the near two-point area. Shooting, 3-for-6, a very successful defense.

   2-of-2 from the back, that’s a big dream, if he doesn’t go, old K can’t hit 70% of the shots.

  I think the two of them can still defend against Old King, as evidenced by the 3-for-6 shooting in the middle. If the old K only hits 50% shooting, I think the Blazers will have a chance to kill the Lakers. ”

Nodding, Gomez said: “I think the old K will also take a break next, which is also his habit. He hits a good shot in the first quarter, then recovers blood for one or two quarters, and then exerts his strength in the last quarter to open up. Players should try their best to get the score back during this time.”

  Elanton analyzed: “The key is that Old K’s physical advantage is too obvious, he can play the whole game, but the big dream is not good, neither can Duncan, and once they go down one, Old K can immediately take over the game.

  I think that today, Old K will not stay until the last quarter to exert his strength, but will exert his strength when Da Meng and Duncan go down one, and allocate physical energy according to this principle.

At the same time, the advantage of the Lakers’ bench lineup is also an important reason for the Trail Blazers to fall behind. The Lakers make frequent substitutions to ensure the physical advantage of the players on the court, and several of the Trail Blazers’ main players are likely to be dragged down in the end, just like the Jazz were dragged down by the Lakers. Same. ”

  Gomez sighed: “The Blazers have been stagnant for a few years since the glider. Although they were extremely lucky to pick up the big dream and Duncan in the offseason, the lineup construction has not kept up.”

Elanton said: “That’s right, they still need time to build a lineup around Duncan. In addition, in terms of the main lineup, the defense needs to be strengthened on the perimeter. Now, Momoko and Ryder, I think one must be traded out for another defensive player. Come in, the lineup will be more reasonable, and the offense and defense will be more balanced.”

   Gomez laughed: “Use Momo + Ryder to replace Kidd? Or Gary Payton?”

  Elanton was stunned for a moment, but also smiled: “Both the Celtics and the Sonics stopped in the second round, maybe they are willing to try to adjust the lineup.”

   At this time, Danny Ainge in front of the TV shook his head. He would not use Kidd to replace two guards with no defense, and they were still two guards who were injured and in decline.

   On the other hand, supersonic, the same attitude.

Teams that want to hit the championship must have players with strong defenses. Players like Momoko and Ryder, even if they have a certain ability to score, are not suitable for the main positions of these teams. They are only suitable for playing a dozen backups. Scored points from the bench.

  …

   In front of the Blazers bench, coach Dunleavy is rearranging defensive tactics.

   He arranged foul tactics, because Duncan would not play at the beginning of the second quarter, and during this period, he had to use foul tactics to hold back Old K’s offense.

“Hakim, Tim, when you guys are on the court at the same time, I hope you can play a strong defense again, I don’t expect you to be able to guard against the old K, and let him shoot below 55%. ”

  Dameng and Duncan nodded. When they were both on the court, they really had the confidence to limit Old K’s offense to less than 60%. As for below 55%, it depends on luck. If the old K’s shooting feel is good, it is also very difficult.

   Next, the second quarter begins and the game continues.

  Duncan went off to rest and Da Meng played.

   “Da Meng, how many minutes do you want to play this quarter?” Pharaoh asked when he was on the court.

   “Play a section with you.”

  Da Meng said angrily.

   “You won’t be exhausted.” Old Wang laughed.

  Dameng couldn’t hold back and asked, “Old K, why is your physical strength so strong? It’s not a recipe for a medicinal bath, are you hiding it?”

   “Bullshit, be careful I tell slander!”

   Old Wang glared at Da Meng and said, “Go ask Charles and Clyde, what’s the difference between the medicinal bath that the uncle takes with his teammates every day?”

   “Physical monster.” Da Meng murmured.

   Physical strength is really the most important talent, for any sports, especially against intense sports.

  When people are tired to death and their state drops sharply, you can still maintain a considerable state. This effect is fatal.

  Why is Jordan so strong?

   An important reason is because he is also a physical monster. He has enough physical strength to keep his shots stable until the last second, so the efficiency is so high, and he can maintain efficient output from beginning to end.

  The Blazers did not go to Brian Grant in the inside line, but a marginal person inside, and Da Meng defended Pharaoh, and the side

  Yuanren specializes in foul tactics.

   The efficiency is okay. Originally, Pharaoh planned to take advantage of Duncan’s absence to attack and expand the point difference.

  , but failed.

Only one of the three offenses with the ball was scored, and it was a sideways hook with nearly two points. The other two times, once when he broke through the big dream head-on, the ball was stolen by the big dream, and once he knocked over the big dream, he made a dunk and was beaten. The foul was 1-for-1 from the field, 1 for 2 free throws, 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 turnover within four minutes.

   Next, when Duncan came on the court, Pharaoh switched from offense to defense, intending to stare at Duncan.

His defense against Duncan in the first quarter was not too successful, allowing him to hit 50% from the field, because the main focus was on offense. Next, he wanted to limit Duncan’s hit rate to less than 50%, while minimizing the The number of his attacks forced Da Meng to strengthen his attacks, in order to consume the old guy’s physical strength.

   After the second quarter, at 53:57, the Blazers scored 30 points in a single quarter, reducing the difference to 4 points and pulling back 5 points.

Pharaoh’s goal was achieved. Duncan made only three shots in eight minutes, 1 of 3 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and only 3 points in the second quarter. In total, he made 5 of 11 shots, with a shooting rate of 45.5%. limited to less than 50%.

   However, the plan to consume Dameng’s physical strength did not come true. Dameng played the first 9 minutes and only scored 4 points. Duncan’s offense was not much, and the Blazers’ offense was in charge of the outside line.

Momonga stood up and broke out in the second quarter. The Lakers were always bad at defending him and couldn’t keep up with his speed. In a single quarter, he made 4 of 7 shots and scored 8 points, replacing Da Meng as the Trail Blazers. Offensive arrows in the second quarter.

   This is also the reason for the strong lineup of the Blazers. There are always four main players who can stand up, and it is rare for a collective misfire.

Pharaoh himself switched from offense to defense as planned, with one ball-handling offense, one second offense, 2 of 2 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, 5 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 2 fouls in the second quarter. He made 10 of 10 shots, plus 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls in the half.

   The rest of the Lakers, Fox and Chris Mullin each scored 7 points to help the team not fall behind the Blazers on offense.

   In the third quarter, according to Pharaoh’s previous physical distribution in the playoffs, the Blazers believed that Pharaoh would continue to fish and then explode in the last quarter.

   But Pharaoh is not the Pharaoh of last year. His physical fitness has increased from level 101 to the limit of level 105. He has the confidence to fight a burst in the third quarter, so their judgments have gone wrong.

As a result, the Blazers thought that Lao Wang would continue to fish, and arranged for Duncan to rotate at the beginning of the third quarter. Only Da Meng was on the court, and Brian Grant was added. As a result, Lao Wang had a big explosion on both ends of the offense and defense. .

   He originally planned to do this. When Da Meng was on the court with Duncan, there were certain restrictions on his offense, so he wanted to attack when only one of them was on the court.

   There was also such an opportunity in the second festival, but he didn’t seize it. This time another opportunity appeared and he seized it.

   But this time, he didn’t break out on the offensive end. He was cut off on the offensive end, and his performance was average. He broke out on the defensive end.

In 4 minutes, he took the ball 4 times, made 1 of 1 shots, and made 2 of 4 free throws. He made 3 consecutive fouls by Da Meng and Brian Grant. He scored 4 points and grabbed 3 rebounds. , sent a block to Da Meng and Momo, a steal to Grant, and two rebounds in the backcourt and then launched a fast break, gained 1 assist, and led the team to an 11-4 attack. Bo, 57:68, widened the lead to 11 points.

After the    wave was over, the stunned pioneers called for a timeout.

   This wave of offense has once again plunged the entire Great Western Forum Arena into a high court, and the cry of the King of the Lakers resounded in all directions.

  The Blazers quickly replaced Duncan to strengthen the control of the inside attack and defense and rebounds, and this controlled the situation on the court, but the morale had been affected, and the next 8 minutes could not recover the points lost in the first four minutes.

   After the third quarter, at 75:85, the Lakers entered the final quarter with a ten-point advantage.

   At the end, the trailblazers sent all the main force.

  The four main players had rest in the first three quarters. On the offensive end, you played for a while and I played for a while, so there was no major problem with physical fitness.

In the first half of the quarter, the two sides were in a state of anxiety. The Blazers desperately chased points, while the Lakers focused on defense. In the 7th minute, the Blazers relied on a strong main lineup and pulled back 5 points. The Lakers were still ahead by 5 points. point.

   In the 8th minute of the last quarter, the Lakers called a timeout, which was called by Pharaoh on the court.

At this time, he still has a 5-point lead. He has already scored 38 points, but he did not make much effort on the offensive end in the second half and the last quarter of the third quarter. He only scored 9 points in total. Now he thinks it is time, so call a Pause, let yourself take a breath, adjust your fitness, and then launch the overall attack.

   “Old K, how’s your fitness?” As soon as Pharaoh sat down, Harris came over and asked.

   “No problem, we’ve secured our home game today.” Pharaoh said with a breath.

After the    timeout, the Lakers sent a lineup of Wang Tiejun, Fortson, Richmond, Chris Mullin, and Kobe.

  Mark Price is getting older and can only play 25 to 28 minutes a game in the playoffs. In addition, the defense is not good, and he was placed on the bench by head coach Harris at a critical moment.

   Lakers attack, Kobe holds the ball.

   Starting from the Suns, the direction of his training is to be a dual-energy guard, focusing on shooting guards, and the same is true for the Lakers. It has already taken shape.

When he got to the frontcourt, he saw that Old K was in a strong position in the low post. This was his plan to attack. The defender can’t even make a shot.

   There are also times when he shoots against the defender. That’s when the old king is not playing, so he can do that, but when the old king wants to play, he can’t.

   was suppressed very well, although he was not happy, but when he thought of the efficiency of old K, he did not have the courage to resist.

   He has been with old K for two years. Apart from technology, he has only learned one thing. Everything must be efficient and rational.

   Of course, this is when Old K is on the court. When Old K is not on the court during the regular season, he often does unreasonable things, and Old K doesn’t care about him.

   At this time, Pharaoh stood in the low position on the left wing, carrying Duncan on his left elbow to ask for the ball, Kobe suddenly pulled to the left wing, avoided the defender Ryder, and passed the ball in.

Pharaoh caught the ball with his right hand and noticed that Da Meng was rushing towards the weak side. He immediately took a step back, turned from the back to the face, and then took a step with his right foot. The action of holding the ball and breaking through.

   This action immediately attracted Duncan’s retreat, and at the same time made Da Meng stop on the left side of the basket, near the bottom line.

But Pharaoh’s jumping step was a fake move, it was actually just a tentative step. When the two moved towards the bottom line, he quickly retracted the tentative step and started the real jumping step. Start to break with the ball.

“be cheated!”

  Da Meng and Duncan realized that something was wrong and turned around quickly, but it was too late.

Without dribbling, he grabbed the ball with his right hand, and stuck his left elbow to the outside. He took a step and pushed Duncan in just one step. He stepped on the left waist with one step. Take off from one step above.

  Dameng hurriedly took a step towards the basket and took off to block, but was pushed away by Pharaoh’s left elbow in the air.

“yeah!”

   The next moment, amid the violent explosion of baskets, the Great Western Forum Arena burst into thunderous cheers.

   “Yah, ah, ah… That’s it, defeat them head-on!”

   A live commentator roared with excitement, waving his fists constantly to express the adrenaline gushing out of his body.

   Another on-site commentator roared excitedly: “He broke through with the ball in front, and Old K even broke the defense of Duncan and Big Dream. He is a super version of the Admiral.”

   “Too strong! Old K has scored 40 points, and his breakthrough speed and explosiveness are still so strong. This is absolutely bad news for the Blazers.” Su Qun roared excitedly.

   “Absolute physical fitness! As long as teammates don’t pull their hips, Tiejun can drag the Trail Blazers to death in the series with physical fitness alone.” Zhang Lili said excitedly.

On the court, when he fell to the ground, Pharaoh turned around and shouted at the big dream Duncan and the two excitedly: “Hey, you two, stop me, the game officially starts from now, don’t be too weak, I will let you down. Boom!”

After   , he ignored the reaction of the two and ran to the backcourt directly.

“This guy!”

  Da Meng looked at Old K’s back, and his teeth were itchy.

Duncan next to    was very silent. He was gasping for breath as soon as he played.

   This is caused by huge psychological pressure. After his trade with Lao K, the media compared him with Lao K, and Lao K’s performance has always put him under huge pressure.

   If he plays 30+10, it is a very good state and performance, but for the old K, it is a bad performance. If he regularly plays 40+ and 50+, that is the normal performance of the old K.

It was this gap that made him feel an unusually large amount of pressure when facing Old K, as if a huge palm was pressing on top of his head and in his heart at all times, making him breathless. .

   In his rookie season, he averaged 20+10 per game. All the media praised his debut as the peak, but this peak is nothing in front of Old K. He knows this very well.

Today, he and Da Meng also tried their best to defend, but they still allowed Old K to score 40 points, and force them to complete the dunks again and again. A crack appeared.

   Came to the low post on the left wing and couldn’t handle the top defense of Old K. Duncan took the initiative to take a step out to get the ball, then turned around and took a step towards the left waist of the paint area, stuck his left elbow in place, and immediately hit a rebound with one hand to shoot.

   When Pharaoh took off and blocked the shot, he deliberately maintained a confrontation in the air, and used his strong body to deliberately hit Duncan’s left elbow in the air.

  This confrontation action is not a foul, because Duncan’s left elbow has already left his cylinder, and physical contact with the defender is a normal confrontation.

“boom!”

  The balance was affected. Although Duncan adjusted the angle of the shot, he still failed to hit the ball.

  Forterson grabbed the rebound and the Lakers attacked.
