Chapter 175 Tactical Adjustment (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)

After the end of G4 of the Western Conference Finals, America's media suddenly became energetic. The big score was 2:2. In the next three games, the two sides won two games. The Lakers have two home courts. This is the rhythm of the yellow-green war starting again.

!

All media reporters and ball commentators began to praise head coach Phil Jackson’s tactical arrangements, praise the Lakers’ twin towers for their tough performance, and also pay tribute to Kobe Bryant for sacrificing his personal data!

Gasol once again scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 turnovers in this game. He made 11 of 19 free throws and 7 of 10 free throws. He completely dominated the inside.

Kobe Bryant made 7 of 15 shots and scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 turnovers. From the perspective of ball distribution, Kobe did reduce his shots.

As the broadcaster of the Western Conference Finals, TNT had just finished the game, and Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley immediately began to commentate on the game.

Among the three, Charles Barkley was the happiest, not because the Lakers won, but because the big man played an important role in the game.

"Guys, like I said before, jump shots don't win championships! Defense, rebounding, and big men are the cornerstone of the team. 49:37 rebounds, the Lakers won by 12 rebounds

above!"

Host Ernie Johnson heard what Charles Barkley said and immediately asked Kenny Smith on his left:

"Kenny, what Charles said makes sense. What do you think of this game? As we predicted before, do you think the two sides will play to tiebreaker 7 in this series?"

"Rebounds are very important, but the Thunder almost won the game. Kayce made 10 of 20 in this game, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Wen scored 20 points and Russell scored 23 points. The trio still performed very well!"

"The Thunder just have an uneven lineup. They are missing a big man. I think this series will definitely go to tiebreaker 7. Both teams will defend their home court. The Lakers have found a way to win. They

We won’t continue to make mistakes, G7’s physical fitness is the key.”

After the host Ernie Johnson heard what the two said, he asked another question:

"Guys, what do you think of Kobe's performance in this series? He dominated the Western Conference semifinals, but faced a rookie team like the Thunder, but failed to show dominance on the outside.

What do you think?"

"Kobe made the right choice. Facing a team with outstanding outside talent like the Thunder, giving the ball to the big man is what he should do! I am very happy to see Kobe do this."

"But I will also praise Kayce's defense. I think he deserves to be on the All-Defensive team."

Charles Barkley naturally knew that only G2 performed well in this series, so he did not praise Kobe too much.

"I agree with Chuck. As the leader of the team, Kobe has completed his task well. We all know that he has the ability to score 40 points in a game, but obviously, with the advantage in the paint,

Giving the ball to the big guys is the best option."

The host Ernie Johnson heard the two people's comments that were not explosive, and once again asked a pointed question:

"Do you think Kayce's performance has surpassed that of Kobe? We have seen the Lakers use different defenders and different defensive methods to deal with Kayce, but the young man successfully responded. In this series, do you think the two

Who is the better person?"

"I think Kobe performed better. We can't just look at the data. Kobe led the team to win away from home when trailing 1:2. The data cannot fully reflect Kobe's role!"

When Kenny Smith saw Charles Barkley, he immediately retorted:

"You're totally talking nonsense, man! Kayce's performance was obviously better. Not only was he able to score by himself, but he also organized the team's offense. He also restricted Kobe on the defensive end. The two sides only tied at 2:2.

Don’t forget that Kayce is still a first-year rookie!”

"Restrict Kobe? I totally disagree with your point of view. Kobe just curbed his offensive desire. The Thunder's defense cannot restrict him."

"Kobe's defensive shooting percentage against Kayce has never been high. Although there are no detailed technical statistics, Kobe is restricted by Kayce."

"Don't look at those bullshit statistics. Kobe faced double-attack defenses a lot of the time!"

"Kayce was also double-teamed by the Lakers, but he performed better on the offensive end than Kobe!"

When the host Ernie Johnson saw the two starting to fight each other again, he immediately smiled secretly and said that the game was still too boring. It would be more topical to talk about which player performed better. Fans like to compare.

Star players from both sides.

On May 26, all fans' eyes were once again on the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics had already led the Magic 3:1. Many fans had begun to expect the Celtics to eliminate the Magic and enter the finals, but back then

After arriving at home, the Magic's three-pointers showed off again.

With 13 of 25 shots and a 52% three-point shooting rate, the Magic completely blasted the Celtics from the outside. The Big Three performed mediocrely, but Rajon Rondo and Rasheed Wallace played well.

, but this does not help the Celtics win away games.

In the end, at 92:113, the Magic team regained a victory at home, with the score reaching 3:2. After the game, the winning Magic team did not receive much praise.

Everyone thinks that the Celtics gave up one game tactically, and they will advance to the finals in the next game. The Magic? They are no longer worthy of everyone's attention. There is no suspense in this series.

American media reporters and TNT broadcasters began to warm up the battle of Tianwangshan in the Western Conference Finals early. Tomorrow night's game will become the biggest hot spot in the league. President David Stern is also very satisfied with the referee's call and will not play Tianwangshan.

, where are the ratings?

On the morning of May 27, everyone in the Thunder team started recovery training again. Since arriving in Los Angeles yesterday, all the team's training has been focused on physical recovery. The coaching staff is worried that Durant and Jeff Green are not in good physical condition.

The situation is still not ideal.

Li Ze had no physical worries at all. At this time, he was resurrected with full health. He performed back-step training with full energy. In the G4 game, he once again received a new bronze badge:

Achievement Badge [Beat the Punisher]: 6/50

Improve the player's success rate of back-up play.

Li Ze is very satisfied with the simple and crude bonus effect. He has gradually realized the true role of the badge. The bonus effect is actually to improve his basketball intuition, allowing him to use technical moves more freely on the court.

DJ White and Kyle Weaver, members of the Thunder's atmosphere team, were acting as Li Ze's sparring partners at this time. Li Ze, who received the ball at the waist, faced the defense, leaned back for a while, and quickly turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.

"Shua" hits easily.

Next, Li Ze started to show off his dreamy moves again, which directly stunned the two members of the atmosphere team. Everyone in the Thunder team was actually used to it. After reaching the playoffs, everyone knew that Li Ze was the team leader.

The golden thigh inside.

And judging from the performance, Durant has become the second-best player. His physical fitness is not good and he is sluggish! Look at Li Ze, he defends with all his strength in every game and is still strong on the offensive end. There is also a gap between geniuses.

Durant was just doing a simple three-point shooting training on the sidelines. Seeing that Li Ze was still full of energy, he couldn't help but feel lemony in his heart:

"What a beast! After a high-intensity competition, you can recover after just one night's sleep. Is there any justice in this? God is too partial."

The assistant coach was very satisfied when he saw Li Ze's condition. Seeing the serious look on Coach Brooks's face, he immediately spoke to comfort him:

"Don't worry, Scott. The team's uniform staff has done a good job. Kostic should be able to return in the next game. Even if we lose in G5, we still have a good chance of winning when we return to our home court."

Brooks sighed when he heard the assistant coach's comfort, and then said:

"In the middle of the season, we really should trade a big player. Maybe the management didn't expect to reach the Western Conference finals this year. Our lineup is lagging behind and there are problems with internal reserves."

"In the last game, I was responsible for the loss. Facing the Lakers' inside attack, the lineup arrangement was too conservative. I hope tonight's game can have a good result."

"Keep calm, Scott. We have been very successful this season. No matter what the outcome of this series is, I believe the future will belong to us."

On the night of the 27th, Staples Arena was bustling with people. Compared with the previous two home games, the Battle of Tianwangshan was even more eye-catching. Many young stars bought front-row tickets to watch the Western Conference.

The highlight of the finals.

TNT's on-site commentator for this game, Kevin Harlan, and guest Reggie Miller arrived at the scene early. The game was about to start. At this time, the two also chatted about the starting content of both sides:

"It seems that the Thunder have no intention of mentioning Collison to the starting lineup. Coach Brooks still chooses to attack. Man, do you think the Thunder should start two big men to strengthen the protection of rebounds?"

After Reggie Miller heard Kevin Harlan's words, he immediately responded with a smile:

"In fact, none of the Thunder's inside players are taller than 2.10 meters at present. What's more, it's an away game. Offense is more important. Both sides have continued the starting lineup from the previous game. This series has already played 4 games. I

I believe there are no secrets between the two parties now!”

"The Thunder have indeed played a fantastic season, and I look forward to the boys continuing to create miracles tonight. Wow! The Staples Center is finally lively. I like the atmosphere!"

At this time, the lights dimmed, and the home DJ introduced the home team players with a low and hoarse voice. After Gasol and Kobe came on the stage, the Lakers fans began to cheer for them, and the atmosphere was heated.

"Listen, guys! We have to defend well, squeeze hard through the screens, give them physical confrontation, and we must win tonight's game!"

The Lakers gathered together, and Kobe said loudly with a serious look. He finally tied the score to 2:2, and the initiative returned to his own hands. Kobe wanted to end this series as soon as possible so that he could have more

rest time.

The Thunder, who are playing away games, are wearing blue uniforms today. Li Ze continues to be fully armed tonight, wearing arm guards, elbow pads, and knee pads. In order to make himself look more oppressive, Li Ze chose a black color scheme, and

He also specially wore a pair of black braces, giving him a real villain look.

The Lakers fans at the Staples Center were very unwelcome to Li Ze. When he came out, they immediately burst into loud boos.

In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the players on both sides felt tremendous pressure. After all, the laws of history tell the world that if you win Tianwang Mountain, you will have a great chance of advancing to the finals. Both sides were warming up silently until the referee signaled everyone to come to the venue.

central.

After everyone said something simple, Ibaka and Bynum stood in the center circle and prepared to jump the ball. At the same time, the Lakers fans at the scene also began to cheer loudly for the home team:

"Let's go Lakers! Let's go Lakers! Let's go Lakers!"

"Snapped"

With the atmosphere at home, Bynum successfully jumped to the ball for the Lakers. Fisher quickly dribbled across the half court, noticed that the Thunder still adhered to their 23 zone defense, and immediately signaled Gasol to come to the free throw line for support.

The Lakers' offense was simple and rough. Noticing that Kobe didn't have a good chance to catch the ball, Gasol immediately passed the ball to Bynum in the low post.

Turn around in the direction of the baseline and throw the left hand.

"Shua" scored two points from the basket.

When Li Ze saw the Lakers' offensive method, he immediately understood that the opponent was definitely going to hit the inside again. Head coach Phil Jackson caught the Thunder's weakness and held on to it, but it must be said that the simple and crude tactics,

Very effective indeed.

The Thunder quickly sent out a baseline ball. After passing the half court, Turtle noticed that Durant was entangled with Artest again, and quickly signaled Ibaka to raise the pick-and-roll. Fisher also knew this after passing the previous 4 games.

How to effectively defend against turtles.

He walked around the screen and walked off the line. At the same time, Bynum immediately raised his hands and came to the upper line to defend, delaying the turtle's first step. Fisher quickly switched defenses with Bynum.
