The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 382
Chapter 385
Jackson called a timeout. In fact, the Lakers played pretty well on the court, and Nash couldn’t keep scoring, but Jackson could vaguely feel that the pace of the Phoenix Suns’ game was very different from the past. In the first two seasons, the Lakers and the Suns fought in the playoffs. Although the Lakers lost twice, Jackson, as the head coach, did not lose to D’Antoni in the formation. They even led the series at 3:1. , Unfortunately, the hard power of the two sides is indeed very different, and finally they are unable to recover.
As for Fox Leon, this extremely cunning and smart guy, Jackson has always disliked him. Smart people always don’t like smart people because both sides can always see each other’s tricks.
Not long after the game started, Jackson could not guess what medicine Leon Gourd sold, but he felt it necessary to interrupt, and at the same time the personnel made fine adjustments. He patted Andrew Bynum on the shoulder and motioned him. Ready to play.
Kwame Brown was substituted. He made two consecutive mistakes, causing Jackson to lose patience with him. After a short timeout of 20 seconds, both sides quickly returned to the court. Leon briefly confessed a few words during the timeout, and then continued to sit down and fight against Jackson.
The game restarted. Bynum on the 17th appeared to stand out as soon as he came on the court. His official height is 7 feet, but his wide frame and long limbs make him look extremely large. Former teammate Turiaf stood by him. People feel a size smaller in front of me. Bynum is only 20 years old this year and has set a record for the youngest player in the NBA. This is his third season. In the first season, his playing time and scoring are extremely poor, but he has become a good player last season. ‘S inside bench.
Among them are the Lakers’ famous name and the credit of the former superstar Skygo Kareem. Since 2005, Kareem has spent time helping Bynum to hone his inside skills. This summer is no exception. Bynum looks stronger. , He looked more confident when standing on the court.
In the first attack after a timeout, Bynum took the initiative to fall to the low post and jammed Turiaf behind him and asked for the ball. His card position and the action of asking for the ball seemed a bit exaggerated, his **** poked very hard, his hands stretched out, like a big spider, outside Kobe still reasonably slinged the ball to Bynum, the sun did not carry Clamp, Bynum easily got the ball in the low post. He pushed Turiaf with his strength, turned inside and wiped it into the inside, and then put the basket easily!
Bynum’s speed is not fast, even a bit sluggish when he turns around, but his strength is great, and his height is too tall, his arms are too long, Turiaf is simply looking at the ball and sighing, he can only look at Byner. Mu easily scored the ball.
After scoring the goal, Bynum opened his long legs and ran towards the backcourt. Leon watched Bynum running hard, and said that the boy’s physical condition was indeed good, but his running posture was not quite right. , I am afraid that there will be problems in the future.
This idea just flashed in his mind. Nash had already advanced halftime with the ball. This time, under the cover of Dior and Turiaf, he used a skilful dribble to get into the Lakers inside and put Byner. He adjusted it out, reached the bottom line on the right, and then passed the ball to the center with a dashing pass with his left hand, following the cut-in Marion catching the ball and dunking with both hands!
The American Airlines Center finally broke out with enthusiastic cheers. This kind of offense is what they want to see. This kind of Nash is the Nash they love and familiar with. This is their usual cooperation during D’Antoni.
The cheers of the Suns fans seemed to stimulate Kobe. After the offensive and defensive transition, Kobe tore off his reasonable coat and took off with the ball for the first time in the first quarter. Without any cover, he used his footsteps to penetrate the inside line from the right side of the center. ! The inside line guarded by Turiaf was really no threat to Kobe. He easily reached the basket and dunked with both hands. After the goal, Kobe made a “silence” gesture to the audience and attracted the audience. There was a boo.
However, Kobe is a wonderful ball. He is one of the few guards in the NBA who can easily break through defenders without the help of any teammates. Moreover, he relies on not only speed, but also his superb dribbling skills and excellence. The man ball combines technology.
In Leon’s view, as long as Kobe’s mentality does not collapse, he will be an extremely difficult guy to deal with, and he can approach Michael Jordan infinitely. But Leon is familiar with the weaknesses of every superstar in the league. As a coach, you can’t go to the court to stop them, but there are always other ways to interfere.
But today, Leon is not interested in playing psychological warfare with Kobe, just the second game of the regular season. Moreover, this year’s Lakers seem to be difficult to be the obstacle of the sun. Whether they can keep Kobe is still a question.
In the first quarter, the offenses of both sides played quite smoothly, and the defenses on both sides seemed to be a little loose, especially the Suns. Some fans on the scene were both happy and disappointed. Fortunately, Leon’s arrival did not seem to make the Suns a defense. The main team, disappointed that Leon did not make the Suns a strong defensive team. The needs of the fans are so strange.
In the second half of the first quarter, Phil Jackson let Barbosa come off the bench. The Brazilian lightning, who has been shining in the sun, won enthusiastic applause from the audience. As soon as he appeared on the field, he made a shot in the offense. A three-pointer and a layup in the counterattack helped the Lakers get 33:29 at the end of the first quarter, a 4-point lead. 33 points are also very high in the first quarter.
In contrast, the Suns’ bench seems to lack that igniting power. Jaskovicius didn’t make much contribution in the second half of the game. Stoudemire still supported the team’s offense. He took it in the first quarter. Scored a team-high 10 points.
And all his scores came from autonomous offenses, especially none of the assists from Nash. In fact, the two play times were staggered. Stoudemire was replaced during the first official timeout, until the first quarter. In the second half of Nash’s rest, Stoudemire returned to the field and the two staggered to lead the team’s offense.
It can be seen that in the second game of the regular season, Leon has gradually developed his own ideas in personnel rotation and has begun to put it into practice. He expects Stoudemire to grow into a unique general to share Nash’s pressure. So between the breaks in the first quarter, Leon has been communicating with Stoudemire for a few minutes.
“When you break from the center, pay attention to the bottom corner of your wing. Always pay attention. I will always arrange players here to respond. Bell, Steve, or Dior. When necessary, you have to pass the **** ball to me. .”
“Increase your left hand breakthrough, which is good for your passing, practice harder.”
“Watch your defender on the defensive end. I don’t ask you to help defend. This is not your job. Remember, those conceded goals in the first quarter have nothing to do with you.”
Stoudemire listened very seriously and kept nodding. Stoudemire was not a talkative person on the court. He had his own ideas in his heart, but not too long. The coach told him what to do. He thought it was right. Will do it, think it’s wrong, and follow his own ideas~www.mtlnovel.com~ Leon has communicated with him the most in the past few months, hoping that he can stand alone and become the real core of the offensive end. Si is very excited, so he works **** the training ground and on the court. At the same time, Leon never allowed Stoudemire to do things that he was not good at, such as organization, coordinating, back-to-back passes, so Stoudemire himself didn’t quite understand what Leon had planned, but let him Well, just follow it.
The second quarter started quickly, and Nash was still resting off the court. Unlike other teammates, he was not sitting on the bench, but lying on the sidelines, a dedicated position for him to protect his lumbar spine.
At this time, the Suns’ lineup on the court is Stoudemire, rookie Dudley, Jaskovicius, Barry and Dior, the Lakers are still resting off the court, Kwame Brown, Barbosa, Egypt Vince, Radmanovic and Jordan Farmar have to spend the beginning of the second quarter and they have a 4-point lead.
Phil Jackson still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. He thinks the team is in a good state tonight, and the Suns look a little lax, especially their defense. He has confidence in the Lakers this game. But at the beginning of the second quarter, within two minutes, the Suns taught Jackson a lesson.
