Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 715

“Super Heavy Artillery (

Less than a minute after the game started, the Lakers and Thunder each completed an offense. Judging from the score, the two sides drew a tie. Although the fans at the scene did not see any way out, the players on both sides had some new understanding of their opponents.

The Thunder really felt the Lakers’ defense, from the entire system to every point, it was very strong. Especially An Luo, who finished scoring in this offense, doesn’t look at his final fall-back jumper so cool, but it really took a lot of effort.

It is precisely because of this offense that the Lakers also have a very deep understanding of the Thunder’s offense. Their defense is not bad, and the players are very determined when implementing the overall tactics. In addition, the Lakers players did not mess around because of the Thunder players’ rotations and mutual screens. But An Luo still scored. Of course, this is more of An Luo’s personal ability and is also part of the Thunder’s overall strategic system.

Even the Lakers can’t guarantee that every round can be defended to this level. Once the Thunder can find a chance to score, it is likely to be out of control. Everyone knows this very well.

After Anlow scored, the ball was exchanged and the Lakers relaunched their offense.

James took the ball to the frontcourt calmly, and the other Lakers quickly switched to offense.

McGee made a screen for James at the top of the arc, but the latter did not succeed in getting rid of the defense under his pick and roll, and thus went inside. Westbrook reacted quickly. After McGee made the move, he immediately walked around to seize the opportunity. However, James’ body was slightly on one side, his left shoulder sank slightly, and he started a strong fight against Westbrook.

Vogel’s role in putting James in the number one position is reflected. After all, Roberson can be said to be the strongest point of the Thunder’s individual defense. If you ignore James’ physical exhaustion, it is not too difficult for him to play Roberson one-on-one, but now James is also a player with 36 bonuses. It was a bit too difficult for him to face a defensive champion like Robertson throughout the game. However, it was easier when the person he faced was Westbrook.

James is like a tank, pushing Westbrook to the basket. Then he violently collided with the opponent, leaped into the air with the force of the rebound, pulled with his right hand, and successfully hit the ball into the basket.

4:2

The Lakers in the away game temporarily took the lead.

Compared to the luxurious interior configuration of the Lakers, the Thunder is indeed a bit thin. Gallinari himself is hard to protect himself in the fourth position. Facing a big man like Anthony Davis who can play both the fourth position and the fifth position, his defensive ability is really a little hearty. There is more than enough. As for Adams on the fifth position, it is difficult to support a single person. Not to mention, he is always taken out of the penalty area by Lakers players.

Therefore, in the face of James’ unreasonable strong breakthrough inside, Donovan is also helpless. However, the Thunder’s next offense also made the Lakers feel powerless.

Westbrook suddenly accelerated before the center line to throw James away, and then went straight to the basket. In this league, there are some players who have no way to limit as long as they rush up, except for fouls. There is no doubt that Westbrook is one of them. His playing style has always been very explosive, and he didn’t have too many fancy skills after rushing up. Most of them were pure power and explosive competition.

But this time, the Lakers held him down!

In fact, strictly speaking, the Lakers are not holding Westbrook down. After all, he took the initiative to give up the final layup. Perhaps the grade is also older, especially since entering this season, Westbrook has once again changed his style of play. Compared with the flying style of the previous seasons, Westbrook is now playing relatively Much more gentle.

When he rushed towards McGee, everyone seemed to see the omnipotent regular season MVP again. As a result, Westbrook dropped his right hand and threw the ball from McGee’s armpit.

Suddenly, a sigh full of regret sounded from the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Although the current Westbrook can lead the team to win the championship, everyone still misses the flying Westbrook before. However, when everyone regrets that Westbrook has chosen to pass, few people see him actually jumping as high as before.

People still have to serve the old. After all, not everyone is perverted like James. Westbrook is a rare tough guy in this league, but he is also 32 years old. The careers of many superstars have already started to go downhill at this age. If you want to play longer on this field, but don’t want to become a veteran, you can only transform.

Westbrook is now trying to do such a thing. This is different from his transformation in the previous two seasons. At that time, he made sacrifices to balance the harmony of the team’s locker room and give Paul George and Anlo more opportunities. I have to say that Westbrook has indeed made too many sacrifices for the Thunder’s two consecutive championships. Since this season, Westbrook is not mainly because of whom to sacrifice. Of course, there must be some factors in it. After all, the Thunder did not spend nearly two billion dollars to keep An Luo in Oklahoma to make him soy sauce. Both the club and the fans hope to see Anluo can play results this season.

The basketball was passed back by Westbrook to Adams, who was standing on the free throw line, but the latter did not end this attack, but held the ball to cover An Luo and handed the ball to the opponent. The latter is also very resolute, pulling up directly against Adams and throwing the ball.

This is a very practical cover tactic. The big man takes the ball at the top of the arc, helps the shooter block the defender and then gives the ball away, and the chance of scoring comes out. In that situation, no one can keep up and defend. As long as the catcher is strong enough and has a relatively stable shooting ability, he can throw the ball and score.

“Huh!”

The goal is scored! For this kind of shooting, An Luo has always been pretty sure.

At 4:5, the Thunder completed the overtake.

Of course, now the game has only passed one minute, less than two minutes, everything has just begun. It is hard to say who is more dominant. In general, at this stage of the game, both sides have gained something and both have problems.

The Lakers did not limit Anlow’s scoring, and their defense did not have much problem. After all, Anlow’s goals were the kind of defensive powerless balls. But the Thunder also cannot limit the Lakers’ impact on the penalty area. This is still the case when the Lakers’ big men are not involved in the offensive end. Once Davis, McGee and James are on the line, the Thunder will be even more difficult. .

This situation did not make everyone wait too long. Not more than half of the first quarter, the Lakers began to adjust their offensive strategy. Bradley started to hold the ball, James stood on the flank, and Davis and McGee formed a complete offensive formation from the outside to the inside. Although Anlo was still able to find a gap in the Lakers’ defensive system to score, the Thunder slowly fell behind in the situation.

Vogel’s changes were decisive and indeed very effective.

It has to be said that although James has played at the first position this season that is not inferior to any point guard, if he wants to fully release his fighting power, he will still get the position he is most familiar with. Coupled with another Davis on the court, the defensive pressure facing James has dropped a lot. In such a relaxed environment, if he wants to score, it is really difficult for the Thunder to stop him.

But if only James played outstandingly, Donovan still had a way to deal with it, but Vogel’s offensive tactics after the change of formation posed a great problem for Donovan.

In the Lakers’ offense, Bradley dribbled from the top of the three-point arc to the left position, forming an offensive triangle with Anthony Davis in the corner and McGee on the inside. Then, Bradley passed the ball to Anthony Davis in the corner, who attracted defensive attention before passing the ball to McGee standing at the basket. In this way, the Lakers used a continuous pass to transfer the offense from the outside to the inside. The inside line is the relatively weak area of ​​the Thunder’s defense.

No way, Gallinari can only return to help defend. At this time, Danny Green, who was standing on the right three-point line, began to run a short distance to the left. McGee saw the opportunity to pass the ball to Danny Green, who was standing on the weak side. At the same time, LeBron James, who was standing near the right free throw line, moved to near the bottom corner of the right outside line, ready to receive the ball.

Throughout the process, the Thunder players were running with each other. Although their defensive transition is not bad, they have never given the Lakers a chance to catch the ball. But on the whole, they are still very passive. A defense that is too passive will cause problems sooner or later, and the players will consume a lot of physical strength. Over time, the pressure of the subsequent game will increase a lot.

Danny Green was ready to shoot after receiving a pass from McGee on the outside, but Anlo rushed forward quickly. After losing a good shooting space, Danny Green did not make a shot, but quickly passed the ball to LeBron James near the bottom corner of the moving right outside line. After passing the ball, Danny Green did not stop, but quickly cut in from the outside to the inside.

After LeBron James received the ball, he actually had no chance to score. Although he got rid of Robertson’s entanglement by covering, Adams on the inside rushed out for the first time. Adams’ defense is in place, and with his height and wingspan, James’s shot space is directly blocked.

Although James’ shot was prevented, the Thunder’s inside line became even more empty. In this situation, LeBron James, who has excellent vision and passing ability, will not miss it. He hit the ground and passed the ball to Danny Green who cut inside, who rushed to the basket and scored the ball.

An Luo watched Danny Green drive straight to the basket, he also shook his head, very helpless. Although Danny Green’s defensive responsibility rests with him, it is too late for him to squeeze through the opponent’s cover to catch up.

In fact, this is not a very complicated tactic. The Lakers also passed many screens and shifts before allowing James to find Danny Green and finish scoring. But it was such a tactic that almost mobilized all the defensive strength of the Thunder, so that in the end, it lost the other.

Fans who know enough about the Lakers will definitely find that Vogel’s tactics are actually born out of Phil Jackson’s triangle offense.

The characteristic of the triangle offensive tactics is that through constant movement, a pseudo offensive triangle tactic is established on one side to confuse the opponent, and then a real triangle offense is formed by attracting the opponent’s double-teaming and running without the ball of the own offensive player.

The current starting lineup of the Lakers ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ James, Bradley, Green, Davis and McGee, it is not the first time to play such a tactic.

The starting point of this tactic starts with the point guard. When Bradley got to the number one position, it was the beginning of Vogel’s “triangle attack”. The offensive triangle is pre-formed by dribbling movement, and it is a feint attack to pass to the inside to prepare to attack the basket. After encountering a seriously ill double-team defense, quickly transferred the ball to the weak side for a second attack.

This is a shifting attack tactic that is imaginatively strong and weak. If the opponent’s defense can’t keep up, and there are one or two players with outstanding long-range shooting ability on his side, then the offense can be ended at this step.

However, a team like the Thunder can change defense and make up in time, but they are not afraid. However, in this set of tactics, everything has just begun.

After Danny Green received the basketball, there were two ways to handle the ball. One is to move quickly to get rid of the defense and create a good shooting space for self-attack. The other is to choose to pass the ball to a player with a better chance when the shooting timing is not good. After all, at this time, the opponent’s line of defense had been disturbed by them.

The powerful attacking threat of James near the bottom corner still plays an important role. No matter who their opponent is, the opponent’s defensive players cannot and dare to empty James. It is this powerful restraint that when James receives the ball, he will definitely attract enough defensive power. When the opponent has a huge emptiness inside, James and his teammates only need a simple pass to cooperate to score.

Old wine in a new jug, Vogel is a new one. The head coach the Lakers selected this year may not be the most qualified, and the ability may not necessarily be the strongest, but it is definitely the most suitable for this team of Lakers.
