Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area - Chapter 807
Before the game, the Lakers clearly changed the defensive lineup depending on the status of the opponent’s scoring main position, and in the case of Pierce’s outbreak… originally it was possible to use Croti for Artest. After all, Green defended Garnett in the first quarter. The effect is good, but the problem is that Green’s time needs to be carefully arranged.
It is best to let Artest at this time, because Garnett is indeed afraid of confrontation.
returns to the field again.
The Celtics also guessed the Lakers’ substitution this time.
Pierce thinks that Croti feels hairy, and he is not incapable of playing. He is afraid that Croti will change injury and life with him, and Croti’s tough defense is actually causing him more There is a lot of psychological pressure, so the Celtics are also thinking, and the idea is to let Garnett bear part of Pierce’s shot.
Will Artest switch to position 4?
The Celtics know this, but Garnett feels that he is not afraid. If he is not even a first-year rookie, then this ball cannot be played, and the significance of his own shot is not only to boost his own. Offensive, you know… if he goes into the near basket area, he can also force Li Shengli to participate in the defense and liberate the blocked O’Neill.
……
“Crotti got on?”
“Really, it seems that Phil Jackson doesn’t want Pierce to be better!”
At this time, in TNT’s studio, Barkley saw Croti playing, even if the Celtics were still leading by 6 points, he also felt that the advantage was leaning towards the Lakers, because last year when the Lake Kai finals…Crotti However, the original first-year Pierce’s service was obedient.
“Charles, you played in the Lakers last year. What do you think of Croti’s defense? Can he defend Pierce?” Kenny Smith asked.
“I remember you played with him, do you think?”
“I think? Cough… seriously, this guy’s defense is not the strongest in the backcourt, but he is the most desperate. I think Payton can’t compare with him, of course, maybe Payton Is more valuable and pays more attention to health, but on Croti, I can’t see what he’s afraid of. He’s crazy.”
“Yeah, I was also surprised why there was such a lunatic! But the focus now is not on his match with Pierce, but on Artest and Garnett… they will decide the direction of the second quarter. “
……
The game reached the second quarter.
Except for the main position, both sides are rotating, and Artest hit the fourth position, and even played the same effect as the previous round of the Spurs. It is surprisingly good for Garnett’s defensive effect.
Let’s talk about O’Neal first. In his shot percentage, the total of two points in the basket and close range reached 90% of the deformity, while Olajuwon, Ewing, and Robinson were 50, 65, and 61, respectively. The attack range of this cargo is extremely inward, and the killing in the penalty area is so large that it can be outrageous.
In this case, in order to open O’Neal’s defense, Garnett’s shots are more and more outside, when the season’s distance and distance two-point percentage reached 65%, and O’Neill’s deformed basket and The close proportion takes the reverse.
But the problem is that Artest marks Garnett’s defensive position, which is more inside than marking Pierce. The narrowing of the range of activities required by the defense eliminates his speed disadvantage to a certain extent, chasing Garnett to find a confrontation, Garnett It’s almost annoying, and the shot between the confrontations is very bad.
However, after the defensive end made merits, Artest’s offensive end also played a strength advantage.
Garnett’s single defense ability is far worse than the coordinated defense, and Artest is accurate in this point…When Kobe and Li Shengli cannot find a chance to cooperate, as long as the offensive time passes 15 seconds, immediately score The ball backed Artest back to Garnett.
The Lakers back to play one game one, this is the tradition!
As a result of the attack from Artest, Garnett couldn’t hold it a bit and would soon be pushed into the penalty area. The real problem is…no one can help him.
O’Neill moved, and Li Shengli could kill them.
If the outside teammates, including Pierce, help, the Lakers are too used to find the defensive weak side, Kobe immediately got the best chance.
How can I defend myself?
Seriously, Artest even can attack him even at the rim, even if Artest in the rookie season of this season, only 54% of the rim hits, but it is also better than other shots. It’s more stable, not to mention that Li Shengli’s frontcourt board has a greater advantage than O’Neill. The true efficiency of playing 60% will definitely not be overwhelming.
Then is the transfer shot?
But Pierce, who encountered Croti, was a little bit timid. The other two could not count on Kobe. After all, Kobe’s defense is also very strong. The remaining O’Neal… seems to be the hope of the whole village?
……
“Gosh, is this effect too good?” Kenny Smith in the studio was surprised.
“This little guy…” Buckley also said in surprise: “Seriously, I feel that after a few more seasons, this guy is also a DPOY player, but Kenny, think about this guy Ben Wallace. Having obtained the DPOY of this season, Li has even reached the point where he does not need to use DPOY to prove his defensive strength, and there is also Croti who has entered the second defense this season.”
“The Lakers try their best to defend themselves?” Kenny Smith blurted out ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Not counting the temporary joining of Rodman and Barkley last season, Los Angeles alone produced a group of defensive forces. Several people can be the core of defense in other teams, including Kobe, who has both offense and defense, and Eddie Jones, who previously had second defense.
“Let me see…Now the Celtics’ 6 points in the first quarter have been smoothed out, and 5 points have been reversed. This basically determines the Lakers’ victory. At least this Lakers have a good chance of winning. Win, there won’t be a 3:0 situation last year!” Buckley said firmly.
“That’s not the same as all of us predicted before the game, can the Lakers really win four consecutive championships?”
“No, this is hard to say!” Buckley explained more objectively: “You think about it… In fact, the Celtics can solve this situation, as long as they can create some good shooting environment for Garnett or Pierce. Well, of course, there is a more direct way… don’t forget the Celtics and O’Neal. As long as the outside is a small pick-and-roll and allows Pierce to stagger Crotty to the inside, the Lakers defense will be loose.”
“Pierce hit the inside?” Kenny Smith immediately thought of clapping the table and said: “Yes, as long as Pierce dares to rush, the Lakers’ inner defense… Whether it is Artest’s defense or Lee’s defense, O’Neill and One of Garnett made room, and the attack really opened.”
“Yes, of course this is just a guess. The game has more variables than we think, but in the final analysis… Pierce’s bravery is the key.”
