Chapter 214 Larry Hughes To Stay, The Lakers Won Kobe Bryant But Not

Chapter : Larry Hughes to stay, the Lakers won Kobe Bryant did not win
AKA the tactical leader, assistant coach Jiang, and analyst Jiang no longer care about the score, and have completely studied the Knicks' court position.

squeeze!
Too crowded!
The space is crowded out by people! !

Offensive team The Knicks' offense has gone awry.

After halftime, the Knicks trailed the Lakers by 37 points 48:11.

In fact, the Lakers are also an "iron" army, but the Knicks' offensive efficiency is too poor.

The defensive Lakers scored 48 points in the half, which was okay. Harden and Beverly did not allow Kobe to perform such a miracle of 30 points in the half, but the problem now is that the Knicks themselves did not score.

Jiang Chao saw three problems that have always existed.

1: The shooting guard's substitute ability is not good.

2: The striker's talent is not enough, and he is aging.

3: There is an old problem with the inside line, there is no role that can set a no-fly zone with the final word.

So after halftime, Jiang Chao first asked Liu Yan to kneel to vent her anger, and then asked her to call Sean Marks:
"Drink a Coke before leaving, the internal taste is too obvious."

"Who made yours so thick..." Liu Yan's mouth was puffed up, obviously she drank a lot.

"Who made you so good~"

……

Five minutes later, Sean Marks came to the box and chatted with Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao said these three questions straight to the point.

The second and third problems can be put together, because the striker's talent is not good enough to make the inside defense more difficult.

The shooting guard is Larry Hughes, but his contribution of 6 points per game obviously cannot meet the team's requirements. Curry is the firepower of the sixth man on the bench, so Larry Hughes must also contribute some effort.

At this time, I miss Little Tudou a little bit. Nate Robinson is still very fierce as the sixth man, but unfortunately you can’t have both. In Jiang Chao’s view, it is necessary to completely support Curry and let Beverly and Matthew Si quickly practiced.

Guards are too expensive in the market now, and Harden can actually play point guard on the offensive end.

Sean Marks said that both Beverly and Matthews are okay on the defensive end, but the offensive end has been intermittent because there is no time to develop it. Instead, it is not as easy to use as a 3D shooting guard like Danny Green.

"Well, I understand what you mean. Let's gradually convey the meaning to the coaching staff. Larry Hughes should not appear on the team next season."

"I've said that, since we are young, veteran players will definitely be weeded out gradually."

The two nodded tacitly. The young people don't have time to exercise, so they can only squeeze from the veterans. Larry Hughes has a good character, but the team really doesn't need it.

In the second half of this season, it is true that every team will have a certain reshuffle. As a team that may enter the playoffs, the Knicks will naturally check for omissions and fill vacancies to shine in the playoffs!
As for the second and third questions, that is an old problem of the Knicks.

As the season progresses, the Knicks rely more and more on the outside on the offensive end. Coeha, Turk Drew, Okur and others do not play inside too many times, and the rookies on the bench are also mainly outside. of.

That's why the Knicks are a typical downwind team. If you're right, everyone will be right, but when you're not, it's hard to open up the situation. Other teams basically know it, and it's over if you block your outside line!

As long as you are inaccurate from the outside, the players have no confidence, you break through and then have a strong inside to guard the inside. After the vicious circle, this kind of team that relies on shooting can easily be let down by yourself.

That is to say, there was a bang, bang, bang, and the iron went away.

Just like what Jiang Chao saw in the first half, the Knicks basically don’t grab offensive rebounds inside, because they all stand outside. In this way, the position is purely based on shooting, and the shooting rate drops or the game is too tense. .

But in fact, only 1-2 shooters on the outside are enough. Under Jiang Chao and the young marshal's five-out and four-out and one-in tactics, everyone stands outside the three-point line, and the opponent's feet are actually fast. If you choose to break through too tightly, you will still be killed by the help defense.

The magic ball is a good thing, but if you use it too much, you will become enchanted.

Sean Marks also saw the flaws of the Knicks' shooting offense against the top teams:
"Centers still need to have post-up skills. Our centers are actually biased towards power forwards. Our team obviously needs a player who can post up to open the gap and sit inside. This is much more important than other issues."

In fact, he was born as a center, and he knows best what abilities the team's centers lack.

But he also expressed his helplessness. When he took over the team, Jiang Chao basically decided on the lineup, and there were too many newcomers. Even if it was David Lee, he was just messing up the players. If he settles down and fights his position, he has no chance to miss it.

Frozen three feet is not a one-day cold, it takes time to train a rookie, in fact, he thinks that he can play like this with the Lakers... Really expect to be able to play back and forth with the defending champion in the first year of a rookie?

But listening to what Jiang Chao said, do you really need to strengthen?
"Ibaka and Ah Lian haven't practiced much yet?"

"How can it be so fast? It has to be cultivated since childhood, and the accuracy of training is not the same as the accuracy of competition. The insider training is also different from the competition. Our training game is against our own insider. Recently, Eddie Ku The effect has been improved a bit by playing confrontation matches, but that’s it, and there are few training matches during the season, so it’s hard to make a qualitative change.”

It is true that Jiang Chao is a layman. He didn't know what NBA players would do during the season before he traveled.

Now Sean Marks told him that during the season, there is basically a game every other day, and some western teams are too far away, and there is almost no rest time between the days.

It can be said that Yi Jianlian, Ibaka and others did not work hard. They practiced inside skills whenever they had the opportunity, and even Sean Marks personally practiced with them.

But there is still too little time, and the number of training games that the whole team has gathered to play is less than one pair of hands.

The state of insider skills on the field requires continuous simulation practice, but there are not many team training games now.

How dare they try their most unreliable inside attack in the game under the situation of basically using the game to boost training?

It is impossible for you to let David Lee and Okur try to chisel Shark and Jiasao. They all watched the finals last year, and no one wants to try this in a key game.

The more you don't want to try, the more you will be caught. The Lakers' inside play is very easy. If you rush in, I will cap it. Anyway, I have no trouble with fouls, and it's okay to go directly to the body.

This is the case in the NBA. If you get three fouls from Gasol in the halfcourt, his defense will be a little weaker. Everyone wants to save the carry in the fourth quarter.

There are no centers, so let alone rely on forwards. The Knicks forwards happen to be shooting types. Although Gallinelli and Turk Drew like to back up their bodies in their national teams, let's forget it in the NBA.

...

"Let's see in the second half. I didn't expect our inside offense to be gone."

However, after Jiang Chao saw Mayfair Jackson's calm final appearance, he felt that there was no need to watch. A coach of this level must see more clearly than him, and the defensive end will be more targeted.

Now the Knicks lineup is already very defensive. In the second half, the young coach directly changed the lineup and let the big Q start, which made Artest feel uncomfortable and almost fought.

Who is not the tough striker of the last century!

Both of them are representatives of the macho striker, and the matchup is hot.

But this can't change the fact that the Knicks' point difference is getting bigger and bigger.

Sure enough, as Jiang Chao said, Zen Master's defensive strategy has become a 3-2 zone defense.

As soon as the three-two zone defense is pulled out, I will completely tell the opponent that I want to guard against your shots, and I will not let anyone in the middle of the inside line, so I will stick to your outside shots.

Because the Knicks have a lot of corner three-pointers under Jiang Chao's training, the 2 behind is always responsible for staring at the two corner three-pointers.

This directly locked the Knicks' offensive exposure!
Because the person standing in the middle of the 3-2 zone defense is Kobe Bryant! !

You come inside to pick and roll?
OK!I switch defenses and that's it. Your center has the ability to hit me Kobe, and if you hit me with your back, you count as one. If your guard chooses to shoot, then as long as you shoot, it will be unstable. If you can't make a shot, it will be our rebound.

Do you fight one?

Who can tear apart Kobe's defense one by one from the outside? ? ?The later Ou Shenxian may not be able to do it every time.

Netizens:

"Nike VS Super God battle, it seems that Nike is still stable, the traditional power is the traditional power!"

"The Lakers didn't put up the intensity, and the Knicks were shot to death by themselves."

"Yeah, hit the inside a few times, don't shoot even if it's open, why do you like shooting so much!"

"Young people are rushing! But without rebounds, you can't fight back."

The Knicks' most smooth offensive method is always to counterattack and fast break to score points. The positional battle is basically seven or eight seconds before the outside line is eager to shoot. On the defensive end, defensive rebounds are not as easy as they are against weak teams. Okur Facing the little sharks and the old sister-in-law with David Lee is a lot of pressure. They are slow to grab rebounds, and the Knicks are naturally slow to switch and counterattack.

Now the Knicks can open the gap with only Curry alone, because as a point guard, Farmar, Fisher, and Shannon Brown are basically played around by Curry, but they are also very expensive.

So when he was interviewed after the game, he said for the first time that he was a little tired today and didn’t want to say more. He really didn’t want to say more. His dribbling was left with a bunch of fingernail marks by Lao Yu. The edge wanders, and the scale is really awesome.

And Shannon Brown bullied Curry purely with his body like a pen. He basically committed the common fouls of the Lakers on Curry, just bullying you to look weak.

On the other hand, the Lakers, although they don't have many offenses inside, they can rely on the outside in this game, and their outside firepower is too strong.

When Kobe holds the ball, there are always two shooters waiting for opportunities at two 45-degree angles, and there are two rebounders inside.

Everyone except Kobe in the starting lineup shot more than 40% of their field goals!

The Sharks grabbed 13 rebounds in three quarters.

Odom has scored 7 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in economical data.

In the eyes of Jiang Chao, this guy is much better than Chasing Dream Green, and his back and forth steps are smoother than Kobe's. This left hand is too mysterious.

On the other hand, for the Knicks, the players who hit the inside are all tough, and they hit the front frame for free throws, let alone let them use their bodies to fight against the inside.

So the young coach had to use Ibaka and Yi Jianlian separately. Both of them like to shoot. If they are used together, there is no hope for inside offensive rebounds.

Then take it apart and use it. The height is not enough. David Lee is overwhelmed by the little sharks, and the backup shooting guard is not strong enough to score. We can't let Beverly and Larry Hughes pull out one by one. pick it.

Although Jiang Chao knew that Matthews and Mills had this ability, the young coach hadn't tried it successfully, and these rookies hadn't fully developed this ability.

In fact, Matthews and Beverly still have the ability to break through, but because the insiders are all outside, there are too few cuts or meat shields blocking the way, and not many breakthroughs are directly converted into points or assists.

To put it simply, there is another shortcoming of the Knicks' front line and inside line, which is too thin to stop people.

Fans here may ask why Curry's lore tactic is gone, which is related to Jiang Chao's request at the time.

Because he knew how the league dealt with the "elevator door" and "double pistol block" in the future, it was really used a lot. If other teams learned it or used it more than a dozen times in a game, the league will definitely change the referee manual next year.

In the previous life, the "elevator door" tactic used by Yu Yuyong to intimidate all directions disappeared without a trace after only 2 seasons.

Like the "shark hacking tactic", the prevalence of the "elevator door" tactic has undoubtedly made shooters of Curry and Clay's level play like a fish in water. Three-point shooting is as easy as training, and it feels a bit "open".

The old "shark hacking tactic" greatly tested the free throw ability of the fouled person, and also interrupted the rhythm and enjoyment of the game, so it was banned by the league.

The reason why the league has been changing the rules is because when a tactic destroys the enjoyment of the game and damages the value of the NBA brand, it should be banned.

From this perspective, the "elevator door" tactic must make it easier for shooters such as Curry to score, thus making the Warriors' offense as easy as training, which seriously affects the fairness of the game.

After all, the spirit of competitive sports emphasizes "fairness and justice". When this tactic is covering for the shooter, the actions of the two teammates have obvious mobile pick-and-rolls, leaving almost no chance for the defender to chase.

In addition, the league's whistle-blowing standards are relatively strict, and this tactic is easily caught by referees, so it is gradually abandoned.

Not only that, when a team uses such tactics crazily, it will also cause dissatisfaction among opponents.The Warriors have shooters like the Splash Brothers, how can other teams without shooters play?

At the same time, it is easy to drive other teams to use this tactic, and it further increases the difficulty of referee whistle-blowing. Is it a mobile pick-and-roll?This tactic undoubtedly made many parties dissatisfied. In order to balance the interests of multiple parties, the president of the league was forced to issue a new rule: the screen player cannot stop suddenly when the defense responds to changing the route. This is a screen foul.

The general defensive habit is to stand in a good position in advance, but the two screeners in the elevator door tactics obviously stopped suddenly temporarily to block the defender's defensive line. This is a moving screen foul in the current rules, which will make yourself Lost possession of the offensive ball.

The referee's report after that game did say that Turk Drew was moving the pick-and-roll, but because it was the first time the league saw it, he definitely wouldn't blow it at the time, and the fans didn't complain much.

From the perspective of the team's game effectiveness, this has become more than worth the candle. Instead of risking being whistled and losing the ball, it is better to completely abandon it.

So the Warriors abandoned this tactic, and the Splash Brothers lost a deterrent shooting method.

Jiang Chao didn't abandon it, he ordered the coaching staff not to use it until the critical moment of the fourth quarter. This tactic hurts the enemy one thousand and self-damages eight hundred. You must know that he was once one of the fans who sprayed the mobile Great Wall pick-and-roll...

After Jiang Chao finished his analysis, the game was over. Liu Yan was eating melon seeds and waiting for the expected ending. At 105:91, the Lakers defeated the Knicks without bloodshed, ending their pre-All-Star game with victory. last game of .

The Knicks also fell to seventh in the East because of this loss, and the sixth became the Chicago Bulls.

Originally, by winning this game, the Knicks would be better able to rush to fifth in the Eastern Conference. Then in the first round of the playoffs, they would face the Hawks, who were weak in the first four. This kind of team is easier to play, because this team has no Superstar, as the fourth in the East, it's okay to not have an All-Star this year.

And the top 3 in the Eastern Conference are all hungry tigers, and no one dares to touch them.

But the funny thing is that the Lakers won and Kobe didn't win.

说好在篮球圣地大杀四方让姜超后悔的科比28投仅9中拿到23分8助攻5篮板的数据，让姜超亲眼看到了真正的四氧化三铁。

The Knicks lost and Jiang Chao did not lose, and the fans responded to the comets first for Jiang Chao:

"Not so bad! These shoes are still not good."

"People with bad shoes should stop talking before the game, and hold my 24+12 rebounds sister-in-law's thigh tightly!"

"Sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

"My sister-in-law is so white! I like it so much!",

"Haha, the classic Lakers won Kobe but not Kobe, Kohei really have you!"

"As expected of you, Comey! Shouldn't this hit rate be knocked down by the other four starters?"
