Chapter 251 Western Conference Finals 3

252, Western Conference Finals 3

How do the Lakers respond?

Naturally, I look for O'Neal. When I encounter difficulty in scoring, I naturally look for O'Neal.

Phil Jackson didn't really stand still, but whistled and made a gesture.

Although I don't understand what this gesture means, it must be asking the Lakers to play tactics.

Sure enough, this time, Fisher was obviously very confident and did not give the ball to Kobe after halftime.

Instead, he came to the side where O'Neal wanted the ball and gave the ball directly to O'Neal.

Although David Robinson fought hard, he still couldn't squeeze O'Neal away and could only be blocked by O'Neal.

However, the moment O'Neal took the ball, Wang Hao was already moving inside, looking like he was about to double-team at any time.

However, he didn't dare to completely let go of Fisher.

As the most reliable point in the Lakers' three-point shooting, the threat is still there.

Wang Hao did not double-team decisively at the first time, which undoubtedly gave O'Neal the opportunity to adjust.

I saw O'Neal dribbling the ball once, and then suddenly exerting force. Even the gorilla was forced to take a step back.

Just when Ewing was preparing to use all his strength to block O'Neal, Wang Hao immediately double-teamed him.

However, already Wang Hao.

I saw O'Neal suddenly turn around, not only getting rid of Ewing directly, but also making Wang Hao's help defense miss.

After turning around, O'Neal was clearly still outside the three-second zone, but he immediately took off when he saw him.

"boom!"

Without any surprise, O'Neal directly ended the attack with a powerful and heavy chop.

O'Neal is a big fat man, but he is also a flexible fat man.

After the dunk, O'Neal seemed very excited, dancing and making his funny looks.

However, at this moment, Ewing had already sent the ball from the baseline, and Wang Hao took the ball and charged directly.

Fisher wanted to get Wang Hao to the basket immediately, but unfortunately, Wang Hao was not Gary Payton.

He suddenly took a step forward, crossed his long legs, and directly bypassed Fisher.

On both sides of Wang Hao, Gary Payton and Lewis also charged at the same time, and a standard three-line fast break took shape instantly.

3 vs. 2, this is not too familiar in fast break tactics.

According to today's NBA defensive strategy, it is natural to defend inside rather than outside. After all, three-pointers may not be made.

No, seeing Gary Payton and Lewis planning to cut inside, Kobe and Fox immediately followed.

Unfortunately, both of them seemed to have forgotten that this was Wang Hao!

It is possible that other people's three-pointers may not be made, but in such a wide open space, is it possible that Wang Hao cannot make the shot?

"Whoosh!"

This is the fact, Wang Hao hit a three-pointer.

7:2

O'Neal was dumbfounded. He had just crossed half court and the offense ended like this?

As for Kobe, he stared sharply at O'Neal and Horace.

In his opinion, the reason why the defense failed was because these two guys were too slow.

Fortunately, today's Kobe is still just Peter Pan, not the Black Mamba. He only dares to mutter a few words to himself.

However, this does not prevent the SuperSonics from opening up the score.

Because of O'Neal and Horace, the Lakers cannot improve their rhythm no matter what.

For them, slow-paced games are the most comfortable.

Just play positional warfare and singles. Which team can beat the Lakers with O'Neal and Kobe?

So, can increasing the speed be enough to deal with the Lakers?

Of course not. Improving the rhythm of the game is just a foundation.

While speeding up, you also need to be able to effectively control the rhythm and then score the ball, that's it!

Otherwise, no matter how fast you play, if you can't score, what's the use?

If there is no important thing to blindly control the rhythm, in the end the so-called speeding up will just turn into a chaotic battle.

It's like the bombardment tactic that became popular in the NBA a few years later.

Without Nash controlling the rhythm, your tactics are not called bombardment, they can only be described as a random beating.

The presence of Gary Payton allows the team to speed up the pace without being disorganized.

Even if the fast attack fails, when it comes to positional combat, with Wang Hao and Gary Payton present, there is nothing that can be done.

The Lakers continued to attack, still looking for O'Neal.

However, this time the ball was given to O'Neal in the high post, probably near the free throw line.

In this position, O'Neal becomes the axis of the offense, which is the Lakers' so-called triangle offense.

O'Neal acted as the pivot, and the others began to move. Unfortunately, there was no good position.

After thinking about it, O'Neal decided to attack directly.

Unfortunately, this position is a bit far away and there is no way to get up directly, and dribbling is not O'Neal's strong point.

While O'Neal was attacking, Gary Payton's double-teams were also increasing.

This time, it was a little far away from the basket, so O'Neal didn't take a direct shot and could only pass the ball.

The basketball was returned to Kobe's hands, and the SuperSonics had already started rotating defense.

Wang Hao appeared directly in front of Kobe.

To be honest, Fisher is already open at this time. After all, Ewing's defense is obviously slower.

At this time, if Kobe is willing to pass the ball, there will be an open space, and a big open space.

Unfortunately, the game had just started and the game was a bit unpleasant, so Kobe decided to do it himself.

Facing Wang Hao, he still chose to break through. Halfway through, he forced a physical confrontation with Wang Hao, and then jumped directly to take action.

During the confrontation, Wang Hao did not lose his position at all. He naturally jumped up immediately and wanted to complete the block.

However, Kobe also jumped very high, and he also leaned back a little, so he couldn't cover him at all.

"Whoosh!"

Okay, the ball went in.

7:4

Just now he said that he wanted Kobe to pass the ball to Fisher, who was open, so let's pretend he didn't say that.

This is how Kobe plays, this is how O'Neal plays, this is how the Lakers play.

As long as you have the ability to score goals, you can still score and win even if you attack unreasonably.

In this way, Zhang Weiping, who was commentating on the sidelines just now, was shouting loudly just now.

"Ouch, Fisher is open, Kobe didn't give it to him, this way of playing is unreasonable."

As soon as his voice changed, he added: "Of course, if Kobe is handling the ball, then it is reasonable for him to do so."

Wang Hao was not discouraged after failing to guard Kobe. He could only say that this was a normal situation.

However, in the next offense, because the Lakers retreated in time, the Sonics failed to start a fast break.

Falling into a positional battle, Wang Hao took the initiative to ask for the ball and faced Kobe directly.

Instead of breaking through directly, he chose to pick and roll and let P.J. Brown pick and roll for him.

With a sudden change of direction, just as he was about to use a pick-and-roll to break through, Kobe's whole body squeezed into PJ Brown.

But at this moment, Wang Hao changed direction again. It turned out that it was just a fake move.

Unexpectedly, he broke through in a direction without a pick-and-roll, and even Grant Horace didn't react.

O'Neal moved quickly, trying to defend Wang Hao.

But with a flick of Wang Hao's wrist, Rashad Lewis cut in directly.

Facing an empty basket, Lewis also showed off a rare dunk, which is really rare.
