Chapter 518 [Rigid employment, massacre again]
In the second quarter, the two sides started a run-and-gun battle.
Five Lakers: Mo Williams, Hoiberg, Ariza, Diaw, Lamar Odom.
Five Suns: Barbosa, Jim Jackson, Hill, Walter McCarty, Hunter.
However, the Suns failed to catch up with the point difference. When D'Antoni was sent as a starter, the Lakers could continue to use the bench as a substitute. The three continued to play, but Kobe and Iguodala replaced Ariza and Hoiberg to strengthen their defense.
Yao Ming was not there in the second half, so it was much better to change pick-and-roll and fast break.
Although the Suns' small ball lineup is fast in returning to defense, it is more difficult to defend the Lakers' offense, because the Lakers have Kobe Bryant's one-on-one strength, and the combination of sudden points and shots is perfect.In the fast break, the Suns couldn't double-team Kobe, and the other four were also very fast, and Odom could get down quickly.
The Lakers led 67-53 into the second half.
Yao Ming, Rashid, and Jones, who had rested for a whole quarter, returned to the court. Kobe was physically invincible and continued to play. The shooting guard was Hoiberg.
This lineup has everything from three-pointers, strong attacks, and breakthroughs to everything, but the Suns still have to rely on running and shooting. Once the speed slows down, the offensive efficiency will drop, and it will be difficult for them to enter the penalty area under the defense of Yao Ming and Rasheed.One big man guards out, and the other is near the restricted area, which can guarantee interference.
Marion and Hill's three-point shooting was unstable. Veteran Jim Jackson's three-pointer was accurate, and the defense was worse.
D'Antoni's solution is the same as last season, which is to use the main force to the death. The team mainly rotates with seven people. Hunter and three-point forward Mikaty are afraid to replace them.
Nash is worthy of being a super defender, he can always find space to assist his teammates, and his shooting rate is also very high, suppressing Mo Williams and Jones.But Nash can only attack, and the defense is the weak point. When the physical strength of his teammates decreases and the defense intensity decreases, the Suns will not be able to.
In the second half of the distal quarter, O'Neal, who lacked a substitute, became a floor flow and couldn't jump.He also played a long time in the first round of 7 games, and he took a day off and did not return to his best state.
Yang Rui arranged for the players to hoist the ball to the low position again and again to hit Yao Mingqiang. Yao Ming controlled the playing time. He only played 20 minutes in three quarters, and the final quarter was easily filled. The clip will also split the ball.
Yao Ming, who is full of stamina, is a great offensive weapon. Even if O'Neal is full of stamina, it will be difficult to defend alone, not to mention that he is boring now?He played 43 minutes in the game and was still a cameo center.
In this quarter, Yao Ming made 9 of 7 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 18 points and 4 rebounds. He was replaced 2 minutes early and the game entered garbage time.
姚名全场21投15中，罚球6中6，得到36分11篮板2助攻2盖帽。
科比得到31分4篮板8助攻1抢断，投篮命中率同样达到了50%。
The Lakers won 133 to 106 and easily made the series opener.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Yao Ming performed very well in the last quarter. Now those who say that he is afraid of running and shooting and will be a weakness against the Suns can shut up. Yang Rui has a way to play Yao Ming's advantages and distribute his physical strength reasonably. ."
Yu Jia said: "Judging from today's game, I don't think it will be difficult for the Lakers to eliminate the Suns. Whether they can win the championship this year mainly depends on the Western Conference finals. The Spurs had a poor regular season record because Duncan and Malone were both out. In the game, their strength is also very strong, and the lineup is not inferior to the Lakers."
After the game, the media often said that D'Antoni was too rigid in employing people, with too few players in rotation, and 7 players played the opponent's 10-player rotation, and his physical strength would definitely suffer.
D'Antoni defended himself: "We fell behind by a lot of points in the first quarter. What do you want me to do? Replace Nash and O'Neal Jr.? Everyone has seen how strong the Lakers' offense is. Reasonably distribute the players' physical strength and the Suns play It's just a hypothetical claim that doesn't make much sense."
In addition, D'Antoni also said that he didn't give other players a chance to play means they weren't good enough.
Yang Rui was interviewed and said with a smile: "I don't think the Suns' loss is because of bad rotation. The Suns have a good lineup, but the Lakers' stars are better. If Mike uses the bench, they will definitely lose even more. He is the main center of the Suns, and if Yao Ming can’t average 40+10 per game in the series, I don’t think he will be embarrassed to say hello to his teammates.”
On the surface, Yang Rui was justifying D'Antoni's way of employing people. In fact, he was pitting the sun and not taking rotations. O'Neal was exhausted in this series.
Three of the Suns' starters averaged more than 40 minutes per game, while Hill and Bell both played more than 35 minutes. The "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa, who played very characteristically, only played 10 minutes per game, much shorter than the regular season.D'Antoni's hiring is indeed problematic.
The next day, Los Angeles fans continued to dominate the Internet, and they would form a group to rebut someone who said bad things about the Lakers.
Black Yao name?Just look at Yao Ming's playoff efficiency, playing 30+20 easily in the early 10 minutes.
Black Kobe?Is the scoring title black for three consecutive years?
Lakers fans still have a civil war going on.Some Chinese fans say that Kobe Bryant's ability to lead the team is very poor.Comey defended Kobe's boss status, saying that Yao Ming became stronger because he was by Kobe's side.
People's ambitions will grow at any time. Even if players do not compete for the top spot, fans still hope that their idols will be more perfect.
Still Yang Rui's fans are the happiest, and his black fans are the least.Anyone who hacks him in the basketball field will be regarded as a neuropathy. If you want to hack him, you can only hack him because of his peculiar taste, and he likes big fat...
The second battle continued in Los Angeles.
D'Antoni made adjustments at the beginning, letting Jim Jackson, who is good at shooting three-pointers, start, and Hill came off the bench.In this way, the positional warfare can open up more space, defend man-to-man, and let Bell continue to defend Kobe.
Kobe and Yao Ming cooperated more and more tacitly. After the pick-and-roll, they broke through, resolutely went to O'Neal's side, and then looked for opportunities to pass the ball to Yao Ming.If you can't pass it directly, you can find Rasheed from the outside and let him pass from inside.
Shaquille O'Neal defended Kobe, with Marion and Rasheed on the periphery. They were half short, able to prevent breakthroughs, interfere with shots, and couldn't stop passing.In addition to O'Neal Jr., the other four players of the Suns faced Yao Ming, and there was no way to stop him from taking a shot.
Yao Ming didn't have much work to do, covering, catching the ball with his back, turning around, and hooking.In the face of Little O'Neal, he would shake his shoulders and make fake moves.
Hill also failed to take advantage of the bench.What frustrates him the most is that the main defense is not Kobe or Iguodala, but the second-round rookie Ariza.
Ariza basically relies on three-pointers this season, and his points are all fast-breaks and leaks. The only ability that is close to Yang Rui's previous life is defense. He is fast, has great height and arm display, and is very good at defending the face frame.
If it was Hill at his peak, he would definitely be able to take care of Ariza one-on-one, but after many injuries, Hill did not dare to try to change his direction in a wide range of running, forcibly break through, and other styles of knee injury.
Yao Ming rested for another whole quarter, and when he came back in the second half, the opponent was overwhelmed, and the point difference widened.
In the second half of the final quarter, it entered garbage time, and Yang Rui came up with a new trick, sending a lineup of five swingmen, Dior, Ariza, Iguodala, Walton, Odom, who was the point guard and who was Center, various dislocations on the field.
The best thing is that, except for Ariza, all four have a good sense of passing and can distribute the ball to the right position.
The sun also sent on the bench, unable to withstand the Lakers' attack, and was slaughtered again.
