On March 4, the Lakers, who were at home, suffered a series of losses, and the team lost to the Detroit Pistons in the finals last season 91-104. (38-22)

As the top defensive team in the league, the Spurs have Duncan, a franchise protection artifact and Bowen, a candy that is tangled on the outside. The strategy adopted during defense is to hold the ball on the wing and force it to the bottom line on both sides, and to give it to Duncan to make up for it when holding the ball in the middle. Therefore, Kobe, McGrady, who can shoot hard against Bowen near the free throw line and on both sides, and Ray Allen, who is good at shooting, and even Reed, who has played well against the Spurs.

In the Lakers' game against the Spurs, the Spurs, which had a clear advantage in strength, relied on Duncan to get the best of their best and penetrated the Lakers' inside line before winning the thrilling victory.

The Pistons' defensive strategy focuses on "pressure", putting pressure on the ball holders; putting pressure on the ball offers. The former is blocking the shot, while the latter is blocking the pass. Prince, Hamilton, Billups and Hunter (he is actually the best perimeter defender of the Pistons) are constantly pressuring, and Wallace fills the inside. This team is good at being mistaken by opponents, and can easily suffocate the opponent's shooting rhythm; they can paralyze the opponent's offense in conjunction with paralysis......

The Pistons' defensive strong points blocked the Lakers' advantage almost all. In this game, the Pistons firmly clamped Kobe.

Fortunately, I received a reminder from Ke Yan yesterday that Kobe was not in a bad way in this game, and he added passes when the chances were bad. He made 9 of 20 shots in the whole game, made 6 of 7 free throws, and only scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Although they were behind the game, the Lakers dealt with the Pistons until the end of the game, thanks to Anderson, Butler performed well in the frontcourt rebounds and seized the opportunity to make a second attack.

The game was lost, but the scene was not ugly.

In the last three games, the Lakers lost two games, and their condition has fluctuated. However, considering the two games they lost, the opponents were the Heat and the Pistons, and even the opponents they won were the Celtics, the top five in the Eastern Conference, this result is not that bad?

Facing the two defeats of the strong team is also a chance to cool down the team. The team performed well some time ago, and the Los Angeles media bragged for the Lakers. To be honest, there were several games this season, and they fought with some luck, but luck could not be on the Lakers every time.

Luck won't always be with the Nets, but at least this season, he should always be with the Supersonics. The team's record is "only" 39 wins and 21 losses, but ranks third in the West, and 4 wins behind the Mavericks, which ranked fourth in the West. The reason is that the league's fucking rules are the top three, and the champions in the three divisions rank in the top three.

However, Ke Yan doesn't like the outside world's excessive belittlement of the supersonics and even conveys a way of "teams in the second half of the zone want to touch the supersonics". Indeed, the supersonics take advantage of the division and ranks ahead of the Mavericks' better record than him. However, their current record of 39 wins and 21 losses is also the fourth in the West, and it should not be regarded as a gift package for reason.

In the pre-match mobilization, Ke Yan also pointed out this in the locker room: "Whether in terms of record or the two matches this season, we are all behind our opponents. I don't want everyone to be disturbed by the voices from the outside world, and I don't want you to have the idea of ​​'falling to sixth better'."

A season's strategy is what the management and coaching staff should consider, and players should only consider winning!

The game started on the court. The Lakers' lineup has not changed much, it is still the same lineup.

Supersonics: point guard Ridno, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Rashad Lewis, power forward Radmanovic and center Jerome James.

In the first leg of the game, Lewis hit a mid-range jump shot against Butler's defense. (2:0)

The team's outstanding results this season have given Lewis considerable confidence. A shooter like him will be more determined after he has confidence and will also improve his feel.

"Caron has made some improvements in the defensive end this season, but when facing such a tall and long projector, his defensive effect will be greatly reduced." Monty Williams reminded.

"The Supersonics' own single defense ability is relatively average, and it cannot solve the strength of our offensive points."

On the court, the Lakers' offensive rounds were handed over to Kobe.

A one-step horizontal jump shot, a misaligned pull-out after the screen, and a sudden stop shot during the journey.........

Kobe had a good feel after the opening, and he made a series of simple and efficient hits, leading the Lakers to a 6:0 wave. The Supersonics did not have the corresponding defensive configuration, so there was no way to use Kobe's personal offense.

In the supersonic position battle, Lewis and Radmanovich pulled away from the right.

Ridno dribbled the ball over halftime and passed it to Ray Allen and ran to the bottom corner on the left. Ray Allen faced Kobe with his back to protect the basketball in the middle. Ridno ran back on the left and relied on Jerome James to cover and got rid of Atkins' defense, and took the ball from the left to take a three-pointer.

Without interference, Anderson was stunned by Reedno, and made a nearly open three-pointer, 5-6.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe played singles with Ray Allen on the horns, and Radmanovic came over to form double teams. Kobe, who had a good start and was too confident, forced to take action, and missed the two.

Jerome James took off and scored the ball. Ray Allen grabbed the backcourt rebound, turned around and drove to the frontcourt, and rushed to the right three-point line to hit Kobe and scored a three-pointer! 8:6.

The Supersonics' "Incomparable Arrow Formation" is also a unique in the league. They make three-pointers very fast. Sometimes you are leading by 20 points and feel at ease. They can get back your main lineup by "KaKa" in a row.

The Lakers attacked, Odom came to the horn position to play "hand-handed" with Kobe, but when the ball was about to reach Kobe's hand, he retracted it, turned around and swung past Radmanovic, and scored a layup. 8:8.

Odom has used this move many times, and it has been tried and done many times. Kobe's offensive threats are too great and his restraint is too strong. Odom is also a thief and can always attack him unprepared.

In the supersonic positional battle, the players pulled away, and Reedno and Radmanovic cooperated in the pick-and-roll, and took a step back to the middle to Radmanovic who was going to the wing. The latter took the ball without stopping and was assigned to the bottom corner on the left.

Lei Allen ran around 70 degrees from the right side to the bottom corner to catch the ball, turned around and took the ball, and took the ball.

Kobe and Ray Allen were led by Ray Allen's pace without the ball. It was already very difficult to follow the defense. It was too late to take off and the three-pointer scored! 11-8.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe broke through the Supersonics' defense and attracted double-teams, and gave it to Butler, who missed the open three-pointer, and Jerome James protected the rebound.

Ke Yan is already a coach in the league who attaches more importance to outside projection, but compared to the supersonic created by McMillan, there is still a little gap.

Kobe Butler vs. Ray Allen Lewis' wing duel shows that he can't defend the opponent from either side, it depends on who has a stronger ability to seize the opportunity!

After playing for another 3 minutes, the Supersonics led 16-13 at home. Lewis and Reedno each had a good chance of making a three-pointer missed, which also made Ke Yan notice that the team's defensive end could not keep up with the Supersonics' unball running. Before the official timeout, he called a timeout and re-arranged the team's defense!
Chapter completed!
