On the sidelines, Dunleavy shouted loudly, and when the little flying squirrel looked over, he immediately made a tactical gesture. This was to tell the players to continue playing high pick-and-roll tactics.
This tactic was successful just now. The Lakers may not be able to find a way to deal with it immediately, so they should seize the opportunity to make a move.
The little flying squirrel came to the top of the key, and Kobe was on defense. He controlled the ball with his left hand and asked Duncan for a pick-and-roll with his right hand.
Kobe's concentration was highly concentrated. In the G1 game, his defense against the little flying squirrel failed. This guy was as nimble and fast as a mouse. In this game, he tried his best to guard against this little mouse.
At this time, Duncan ran up and stood on his right side. He did not chase the little flying squirrel, but immediately turned back, preparing to bypass Duncan and the old K who followed him, and chase the little flying squirrel from the other side.
But at this time, after the little flying squirrel bypassed Duncan, it did not continue to break through, but stood on Lao Wang's side.
The last time he used a frontal pick-and-roll, this time it was a side pick-and-roll, because the tactics he wanted to play with Duncan were different from the last time. This time, Duncan moved forward.
"What the hell!"
Lao Wang followed him to a high position and saw the little flying squirrel running to his right side after taking it apart. He knew he was in trouble again.
Sure enough, Duncan went down, received the ball from the little flying squirrel, went directly to the basket, and after one step, he suddenly rose up and smashed the basket with the ball with one arm.
Lao Wang turned around and returned to defend the basket, but he was already too late.
"Shet!"
As soon as Kobe returned to defend the basket, he turned around and saw Duncan flying towards him above him, so he could only hide aside.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the Lakers' basket was blown up.
"Another continuous pick-and-roll tactic! Are the Trail Blazers going to become the Jazz?" Su Qun complained.
Zhang Lili said: "Tim Duncan is really good in pick-and-roll tactics. Not only can he shoot jumpers from the high post, but he can also hit the basket along the way. He also cooperates very well with the flying squirrel.
I think the Lakers should call a timeout to solve the defensive problem. The same tactic was beaten twice in a row."
6:3, the Lakers attacked and did not call a timeout.
The Trail Blazers played an efficient offense. Wang Tiejun's side had no choice but to continuously demand positions and the ball to hold on to the score. Otherwise, they would fall behind at the beginning of the home game, which would be quite demoralizing.
Da Meng still uses the tactic of going around and stalking him at all costs to prevent him from receiving the ball easily.
Fordson on the right wing doesn't have enough space, Duncan is not far away, and he can't frequently get into the basket and hit hard, as that will consume his energy too quickly.
Outside the three-pointer from the left wing, Richmond suddenly ran back, got rid of Walter Williams and then cut inside. After receiving the pass from Mark Price, he immediately took the ball from the left elbow area and headed towards the paint area.
Dameng did not let go of Lao Wang to cover Richmond, because Duncan had already returned to defend the basket. Richmond did not choose to pass to Fordson, but rushed to Duncan and then stopped and took off for a small throw.
cast.
"Bang!"
Under Duncan's block, the basketball hit the basket, and Dameng got the rebound.
Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "It is only reasonable that this ball should be given to Tiejun. The offense must pay attention to rationality. Tiejun's hook shooting rate in the past two points can reach at least 50%. The efficiency of the past two points is ranked first in the league. You
If we charge in and face Duncan's defense, the chances of scoring are not high."
The Blazers' offense is still a pick-and-roll strategy.
This time the little flying squirrel used the wall to break through with the ball and was caught up by Kobe. He immediately passed back to Duncan who was staying in the high post. Duncan caught the ball and Lao Wang was blocked in front and had no chance to make a shot.
But at this moment, the little flying squirrel once again made a screen pick-and-roll and ran to the right side of the basket to block Fordson, allowing Dameng to successfully cut into the basket.
"Bang!"
Duncan hit the ground and passed the ball, Dameng caught the ball and layup, easily hitting the ball.
"8:3, 5 points behind, why didn't the Lakers call a timeout?" Su Qun asked anxiously.
"The key is not to be 5 points behind, but to be unable to defend. It was too easy for the Blazers to score points, and the offensive efficiency was too high. The cooperation between the Flying Squirrel, Duncan, and Dameng was so good today." Zhang
He shook his head reasonably and said.
The Lakers served and finally called a timeout.
But this timeout did not solve the problem. Duncan kept doing pick-and-rolls in the high post, and Wang Tiejun had to follow in the high post, losing the opportunity to protect the basket.
Later, he asked Fordson to guard Duncan, and he defended Dameng himself, but Dameng's mid-range two-point shooting rate was as high as 45%. After following him, he was unable to implement weak-side help defense in time.
Duncan didn't get into the basket to avoid being double-teamed by Old K, so he singled out Fordson in the low post on the left wing.
Although both of them were rookies, Duncan was a superstar at the peak of his powers when he debuted. He used big players to defeat small players, high players to defeat short players, and hit the board with a 45-degree angle. He hit over 60% of the field and beat Ford.
Sen is so ecstatic that he can't stop himself no matter how hard he tries.
If Lao Wang loses Dameng and comes to help defend, Duncan will immediately pass the ball to Dameng. The two top insiders will cooperate in the low post, making the Lakers unable to defend.
On the defensive end, the Trail Blazers played an efficient offense. On the offensive end, Lao Wang could only attack with all his strength.
But Dameng worked hard today, and because the fourth position was not able to open up enough, Duncan frequently implemented weak-side defense. His offense was repeatedly blocked and he made many mistakes.
In the 9th minute of the first quarter, at 23:16, the Lakers were 7 points behind.
At this time, both sides make substitutions.
Dameng left the game, but Duncan remained on the court. The Trail Blazers did not send sixth man power forward Brian Grant, but sent a marginal interior substitute. This was a clear sign that they were going to start cutting.
Sure enough, from then on, whenever Lao Wang took the ball and attacked the basket, Duncan would block it if he could, but if he couldn't, the substitute on the edge would foul and send him to the free throw line.
As for the shooting in the past two minutes, only Duncan was guarding him, not even double-teaming, let alone foul tactics. This was obviously only his most efficient attack at the basket.
His free throw shooting rate today was not good either. He made 2 of 4 free throws in the last 3 minutes of the first quarter and 3 of 8 free throws in the first quarter. His shooting rate was only 37.5%. This made the Blazers resolutely use foul tactics.
After the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 6 points.
Lao Wang made 4 of 7 shots and 3 of 8 free throws. He scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 1 foul. If it were anyone else, even a superstar player, this number would actually be good, but when it comes to his
On the head, if the whole quarter is played, the data is not very good.
In the second quarter, Duncan did not play, but Dameng came up.
The Blazers' defensive tactics against Lao Wang are still the same. They can score nearly two points, but if they can't attack at the basket, they will foul and send him to free throws.
Lao Wang still wanted to use this time to chase points and launch an aggressive attack, but he fell into the opponent's foul tactics. Within three minutes, he made 1 of 2 shots and suffered a big block. Then he made 2 of 4 free throws and got the victory.
4 points.
Duncan came on the court in the fourth minute. Both big men completed their first rotation and got a chance to rest. At the same time, they did not let the Lakers catch up during the six or seven minutes of rest time.
In the 9th minute of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers led by 10 points. At this time, Dameng began to take a break in the second quarter, and the Trail Blazers began to use foul tactics again.
It went on like this, 111:98, and finally the Trail Blazers won the G2 game on the road, and the two sides tied one to one.
After the game, Su Qun said helplessly: "Old K made 10 of 17 shots today, with a shooting percentage of 58.8%, which is not too bad.
But on free throws, alas, I made 11 of 24 free throws, only 45.8%. I scored a total of 31 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls."
Zhang Lili said: "There were a lot of mistakes, and his state was greatly affected by foul tactics. His offense at the basket encountered considerable obstacles, which ultimately affected his efficiency, and his shooting rate was less than 60%.
He only took 17 shots today, but he took the ball 39 times, including 4 turnovers and the rest were fouled.
Almost all of his fouled shots were when he was attacking the basket. The Trail Blazers rarely fouled him on nearly two-point shots, but they were very determined to prevent him from attacking the basket."
Su Qun nodded, turned over the statistics table and said: "Several Trail Blazers insiders, including Dameng and Duncan, fouled Old K a total of 19 times.
Duncan committed four fouls, this is really a lot of fouls!"
Zhang Liji picked up the Blazers' statistics table and read: "Today the Trail Blazers mainly used high pick-and-roll tactics. Duncan scored 26 points and shot 54.5% from the field. The Tiejun failed to defend him and also got 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
Data of 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.
Dameng also scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 53.5%. Together with Duncan, he efficiently contributed 50 points.
In addition, the little flying squirrel scored 12 points in this game, shooting 38.5% from the field. Kobe tried his best, which made his offensive efficiency very low.
But he sent out 12 assists. Without the high pick-and-roll that he and Duncan played, Duncan would not have been able to produce such data under the Tiejun's defense.
It can be said that he contributed most to the Blazers' victory today, and his contribution was even greater than Duncan and Dream."
Su Qun took the Lakers statistics table and said: "Richmond scored 21 points and shot 41.2% from the field. Kobe scored 17 points and shot 45.6% from the field. The performance of the two defenders was not bad, especially Kobe's high performance."
Efficient singles ability and good air-cutting tactics.
When the Lakers lost today, it was still the same as in the G1 game. The defense was not good. But in the G1 game, what they failed to defend was the outside line. What they failed to guard today was the inside line."
On the sidelines, Lao Wang refused to be interviewed by reporters and returned to the locker room with his teammates. Barkley, Lightning and other people followed him.
"Charles, Clyde, you two are traitors." Dameng, who was preparing to be interviewed on the spot, laughed and scolded.
"Old K, I suggest kicking him out of K Era Trading Company." Buckley directly used his ultimate move.
"Second." Glider said immediately.
"I'll think about it." Lao Wang nodded.
"You three bastards!"
Dameng stared and almost cursed.
"Ha ha……"
Glider and the others laughed.
After entering the player tunnel, Barkley immediately said: "Old K, did you miss a little on your free throw today?"
Yao nodded immediately after that. He just put one hand in the bag and the other hand to shoot free throws. I'm afraid he was even more accurate than Brother Tiejun today.
Lao Wang moved his right wrist and said helplessly: "It just feels bad sometimes. It will definitely not be like this next time."
Barkley said: "Duncan and Flying Squirrel's high pick-and-roll tactics were really good today, almost as good as the high-position pick-and-roll tactics of Black and White.
You couldn't guard against Sabonis' high pick-and-roll in the second round, so you, Old K, used a strong attack to deal with Sabonis. Old K, I suggest you use the same method to deal with Dream."
Everyone couldn't help but nod, and Del Harris, who was walking in front, also looked back at Barkley, thinking that what he said made sense.
Magic Johnson said: "I think what Charles said makes sense. Old K, your strongest point is to hit him from behind. Use your back hit to deal with him, right?"
Lao Wang nodded, shook his head, and said: "Dameng always goes in front of me to prevent me. I can't hit him from behind. Have you forgotten?"
Everyone was startled, it seemed like this today.
However, Lao Wang is also starting to face these problems. Without making some changes, there is no way to change the predicament.
In Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, he used a face-to-basket attack, and he did the same today, but post-up play is indeed his strongest low-post offense.
The reason why they used the face-to-the-basket technique to beat Dameng and Duncan was because their joint defense was too strong, and they had to use plum blossom steps to get rid of their defense.
But he failed tonight, and he had to make adjustments in time.
He feels that he cannot just play behind the back, but needs to be more flexible, combining back play with facing the basket, and combining close two points with offense under the basket, coupled with timely distribution of the ball, sudden shots and passes, allowing opponents to
Even more difficult to prevent.
"Old K, you rarely use stepback shots. I think you used them very well today. Why don't you use them more? Stepback shots are difficult to guard against. They are very effective in getting rid of defenders. They can be used inside and outside.
"said the glider.
"I want to practice this technique." Kobe nodded.
"I want to practice too." Dayao also said.
The same is true at most. He feels that if he can practice this technique, his offensive ability in the low post will be much enhanced, and it will also allow him to avoid many confrontations in the low post.
Although he is currently training his confrontation ability and low-post offense with Barkley, deep down, he is actually still unwilling to engage in confrontation. This technique suits him exactly, and he will start practicing from tomorrow.
At this time, Lao Wang explained: "The step back makes me farther away from the basket. My shooting ability is not very good and I don't like to use it. I use it occasionally to open your eyes."
Everyone was speechless. You really opened our eyes. How can we still dislike such a good technology?
A well-fed man does not know how hungry a hungry man is. This sentence came to Dayao and Dazhi's minds at the same time.
Entering the locker room, Barkley and the others left, and the Lakers began to summarize the game.
Harris first talked about defensive issues, how to defend against the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics, especially high-post pick-and-roll tactics. Tim Duncan is very good at this tactic.
Old assistant coach Bill Potka suggested: "Kobe's big defense can't keep up with the small flying squirrel's speed. I suggest changing defense."
"Bill, none of us can keep up with the little flying squirrel. Even if he is injured, he is still very fast." Harris said with a headache.
Potka nodded, thought for a while and then said: "There is indeed no one among us who can keep up with his speed. His speed should be among the top five in the history of the league."
At this time, he asked another assistant coach Kurt Rambis to hang a tactical board on the wall, draw tactical diagrams on it with a pen, and said:
"We can play like this. When the little flying squirrel is separated from Duncan in the high post, Old K and Kobe immediately switch defenses. After the switch, you must try to prevent the little flying squirrel from passing the ball back to the high post. With your defensive abilities, the two of them join forces.
, should be able to cut off their passing."
Lao Wang and Kobe couldn't help but nod. If the little flying squirrel only bursts to the basket, it can indeed be done. All it takes is to block a straight passing route from the basket to the high post. If the two of them can't guard it together, what a master-student pair.
It can only be called trash.
This is when the old assistant coach continued: "Because Old K switches defense, it is very likely that Little Flying Squirrel will not choose to force a layup. If Little Flying Squirrel does not go to the basket, but pulls to the left and right wings, then the wing personnel will immediately switch defense, and Old K
Back to defend Duncan, Kobe went to help the defense.
The most likely direction for the Flying Squirrel to break through is on the wing where the Dream is. So Fordson should pay attention when defending the Dream. Pay attention to the second pick-and-roll made by the Flying Squirrel to create opportunities for the Dream. You can ignore the Flying Squirrel.
Momonga, but you must resist the big dream."
Harris nodded and said: "Today the Flying Squirrels did a very good job in pick-and-roll tactics. They often made a second pick-and-roll after a breakthrough to create opportunities for Big Dream.
Old assistant coach Potka continued: "As long as we don't let Duncan receive the back pass in the high post and don't let the little flying squirrel make a second pick-and-roll for the Dream, we can break their pick-and-roll tactics. If they play a wing pick-and-roll
Tactics, we can also use this defensive tactic to crack it."
Harris decided to use the defense switching tactic. Today he has been emphasizing not to switch defenses, because if he switches defenses, Duncan will hit Kobe in a high position and in a misplaced position, which has a high success rate, so he always insists on letting old K guard Duncan.
After solving this problem, the coaching staff began to solve the problem on the offensive end.
The biggest problem on the offensive end is of course Lao Wang. This is fundamental. All other offensive problems are just scabies.
Harris thought as he said: "The Trail Blazers used pick-and-roll tactics to beat us today. Can we also use cover tactics to deal with their double-team tactics and foul tactics?"
Assistant coach Kurt Rambis also said: "Today they mainly blocked Old K's attack under the basket, which is also the reason for Old K's efficiency decline. Then we should also help Old K solve the problem when he attacks under the basket.
."
Harris looked at Lao Wang and asked: "Old K, how do you think you need your teammates to help you?"
Lao Wang thought for a while and said: "Reduce Duncan's defense speed."
Harris also thought about it and said: "If this is the case, you can only strengthen your distribution and let Fordson or Hill hit a few goals, then Duncan will not dare to double-team you. With your ability
With his passing ability and vision, he should be able to do it.”
Lao Wang nodded. He did not pass the ball to Fordson and Hill today because their scoring ability was not strong and they did not average ten points per game around him.
Harris said: "I will ask my teammates to help you cover and try to reduce the speed of Duncan double-teaming you. In addition, whether it is Fordson or Hill, their ability to pull out is not strong enough. Just try to prevent them from pulling out.
They all have good rebounding ability. If you can't hit the basket, just shoot outside and let them grab offensive rebounds and create a second offense."
"good."
After thinking about it, there was a way, Lao Wang nodded.
