nba: About me being reincarnated into Hayate Yasuo 161 Western Conference finals start
May 20.
The Western Conference finals have officially begun.
The streets of Los Angeles were full of people, the fans of the Staples Center were excited, and some entertainment stars and celebrities also came to the sidelines.
Rap singer Snoop Dogg, Stallone brought his own too beautiful three thousand gold, Kim Kardashian, who recently became popular all over the United States because of the video tape incident, won the Best Newcomer Award at the 65th Venice International Film Festival. Cleverly, and Taylor Swift, “Best Newcomer” at the 50th Grammy Awards, sitting next to her.
“Los Angeles has never been short of big-name fans.”
“The Lakers reached the NBA Western Conference finals again after four years. This team has ushered in the rise of O’Neal’s East Tour in the post-OK era. This topic and enthusiasm alone are enough for this city to ferment.”
Kenny Smith looked at the court expectantly and said.
Compared with the Trail Blazers facing the Lakers, it is even more difficult for them to reach the Western Conference Finals. Even this season is the first time the opponent has entered the playoffs in many years, but even if it is more difficult and not easy, the Trail Blazers It is far from reaching the current enthusiasm and expectations of the Lakers.
The big screen at the scene quickly displayed the starting lineups of the two teams.
Trail Blazers: Center Joel Pulzbila, power forward Aldridge, small forward Zhang Jun, shooting guard Brandon Royon and point guard Jarrett Jack.
Lakers: Center Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Lamar Odom, shooting guard Kobe Bryant and point guard Derek Fisher.
Before the game starts.
Kobe rearranged his clothes and pants on the technical table. He glanced at the Trail Blazers in disbelief, and then looked at Zhang Jun who almost slipped him during the regular season.
Kobe walked onto the court with a blank expression, and when he passed by Zhang Jun, he turned sideways and deliberately bumped into him.
Barkley, who had eyes, couldn’t help laughing after seeing this scene.
“Kobe is sending a gauntlet to Zhang Jun.”
Zhang Jun, who was knocked back a step, was stunned for a moment, looking at Kobe who pretended nothing happened and kept going, he couldn’t help but smile.
“This black mamba.”
The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!
Midfield jump ball.
Andrew Bynum jumped off Joel Przybilla for the first-round offensive possession.
“Andrew Bynum, the tenth overall pick in 2005, is 213cm tall and weighs 129kg.”
“He is a very traditional big man inside. He can protect the frame, can pick and roll, and can roll down. The most important thing is that he has outstanding physical fitness, can grab rebounds, and is good at blocking shots.”
“The third-year rookie has ushered in a very obvious improvement this year. He averaged 13 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. He played against Tim Duncan many times in the last round of the Spurs series. Suddenly growing into a championship-level team this season, Andrew Bynum’s growth is very important.”
In Kenny Smith’s view, the Lakers are the most typical championship team building model. Their average height is the highest in the league. The starting lineup includes Andrew Bynum, Gasol and Odom. A tall player who is extremely oppressive on the court.

If any team in the league wants to break through these three long men and score inside, I am afraid they have to weigh it carefully.
The Lakers have the ball.
Kobe and Fisher controlled the advance of the basketball. After Kobe asked for the ball at the top of the arc, he quickly moved to the left. Odom, who was originally inside, crossed the free throw line from the right to the left at a 45° angle to receive the ball. Sol quickly got stuck in a favorable position with his back to take a position.
At the same time, after passing the ball, Kobe crossed the free throw line again and moved from the left to the right corner, so that only Fisher was left at the top of the arc.
“The Lakers have three big men on the field, so the interior space is bound to be small. In order to release the interior space and find scoring opportunities for the players, the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, used two free throw lines without the ball to disperse the defensive players. attention.”
“It just so happens that these two interspersed players are the type who can shoot and hold the ball. The Trail Blazers have to follow up and dare not fall behind by half a step. In this way, Gasol has obtained a very comfortable position.”
Barkley seems to be very familiar with the tactics of the Lakers. He saw through the fundamentals of the Lakers’ tactics and style of play at a glance, and also analyzed the reason why the Lakers played like this.
In his opinion, Zen Master is definitely the best coach in the league who is good at using big men and twin towers, and of course he is not only good at this.
“Defense!”
Zhang Jun on the right yelled to remind him that it was Aldridge who was defending Gasol at this time.
Zhang Jun keenly discovered that Gasol, who was catching the ball on the left, did not play singles as soon as he received the ball, but held the ball with his back to observe the running positions of his teammates.
He’s playing the triangle offense!
After discovering that no one on the Trail Blazers had the idea of double-teaming, Gasol began to attack with his back.
boom!
The first back-to-back collision was very powerful, and Gasol even made a shoulder-sinking movement. Aldridge was knocked back half a step, and his resistance was not small.
It’s just very different from the post-up singles of traditional big men such as Yao Ming and O’Neal. Gasol’s post-up is not only about strength or turning. His post-up singles also have a lot of movement with the ball and breakthrough steps .
This is due to his dexterous body and excellent ball-handling skills.
call!
After hitting Aldridge half a step away, Gasol immediately moved laterally with the ball and approached the basket.
With such a deep position, Joel Przybilla had to rush over to help defend.
Swish!
Gasol made a positive hook in the paint area, and the basketball fell into the basket steadily, scoring the first goal for the Lakers.
“Beautiful hook, facing the defense of the two.”
“This is the first point of this year’s NBA conference finals, from Pau Gasol of the Lakers.”
Switch offense.
The Trail Blazers played the same tactics as usual. After the start, Luo Yin assisted with the ball, and Zhang Jun ran without the ball near the baseline.
Aldridge raised the pick-and-roll, and Luo Yin used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Kobe’s defense and quickly go to the basket. The defensive method chosen by the Lakers was to switch defenses, and Gasol jumped out to assist in the defense.
This is the defensive strategy used by opponents when the Blazers played the Rockets and Hornets before.
It’s just that the Lakers have made some changes in this defensive strategy.

“After switching defenses, switch back!”
“Kobe quickly rushed towards Luo Yin after getting rid of Aldridge’s pick-and-roll. Gasol just moved up to delay the defense, and then quickly moved sideways after Kobe returned to defense and returned to Luo Yin!”
Luo Yin faced Kobe again, he was a little apprehensive.
Turning his body forward, Luo Yin tried to push Kobe away, but Kobe didn’t move at all. In the end, he could only use his footsteps to move sideways one step in an attempt to widen the distance between him and Kobe and complete the shot.
call!
Kobe quickly followed without giving Luo Yin any chance of space. He seemed to understand Luo Yin’s footsteps very well.
Duang!
Luo Yin faced Kobe’s shot, the basketball hit the top of the basket, and the offense missed.
Then there was an extremely terrifying scene on the court.
Gasol stuck Aldridge on the left side of the basket, Bynum stuck Joel Puerzbilla on the right side of the basket, and Odom moved laterally into the paint to defend the moment Ro Yin shot. near the middle road.
In this way, after the Trail Blazers made a shot, the circle around the basket was full of big players from the Lakers, and no one on the Trail Blazers could hit this offensive rebound.
Zhang Jun, who originally wanted to hit the offensive rebound, immediately stopped thinking about going after seeing this human wall.
“Who can rush in here, unless it is a high rebound after a long-range shot, otherwise no one can grab this rebound.”
boom!
Bynum jumped high to grab the rebound, and then slapped the basketball hard with the other hand, as if to vent his sovereignty.
But in the eyes of other people on the court, his action of hitting the ball after grabbing a rebound is a bit arrogant.
The Lakers attacked again.
Although they have 3 big players on the court, they push and counterattack very quickly.
Kobe asked for the ball at the center line, he wanted to hit the basket, but found that the Blazers returned to the defense faster than him.
Zhang Jun has already returned to the frontcourt and has been staring at Kobe under the basket.
Kobe, holding the ball, came to a 45° angle on the right, facing Luo Yin’s defense who took a step back, and directly shot from outside the three-point line.
Swish!
The basketball hits steadily.
“Starting 5:0, the Lakers seem to be in a very good state.”
When Aldridge served the baseline ball, Luo Yin inexplicably felt great pressure.
Although the game lasted only one minute, the opposite Lakers gave him the feeling that as long as you fail to respond to a ball, they can immediately open the score.
“This round has to be scored no matter what!”
The Blazers attack.
It was still Luo Yin who had to pick and roll with the ball at the top of the arc. This time, Zhang Jun knew that Kobe and Gasol would adopt the defensive strategy of switching defenses in the previous round and then switching back. After all, the Lakers have three big players inside. The defensive area on the court and the ability to protect the inside line are very strong, so they dare to switch back after switching defenses, and they are not afraid that the Trail Blazers will take advantage of the short time of switching back to make a breakthrough.
Because of the small interior space, as long as Luo Yin dares to break through the Lakers, other players will make up for it.
So in order to solve this point, Zhang Jun stepped forward to pick and roll Luo Yin in advance, but this pick and roll was false.

[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
After the pick-and-roll, Zhang Jun quickly ran back and hit the basket. Kobe didn’t dare to switch back while waiting for the time, so he quickly followed Zhang Jun to the baseline.
To be honest, recently I have been using reading to follow up, change sources, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
In this way, it becomes Odom to defend Luo Yin.
Luo Yin understood instantly, and at this time, when he was in a pick-and-roll with Aldridge, Odom did not have Kobe’s speed and defensive pressure in terms of defensive speed, so he would need to consume more time to switch defenses after being picked and rolled. time.
And Odom’s size is bigger, and it will be more difficult for him to get rid of Aldridge’s pick-and-roll.
But this free time has reduced the defensive pressure on Luo Yin a lot!
“He’s going to shoot!”
Kobe reminded on the other side but it was too late, Luo Yin made another mid-range shot after using the pick-and-roll.
This time it was finally not facing Kobe’s defense, and Luo Yin’s defensive pressure was much less.
Swish!
The basketball hit the rim firmly.
After seeing this goal, Nate McMillan, who had been fidgeting all the time, finally sat down on the coach’s bench with a long sigh of relief.
Monty Williams said: “It’s a goal, but it’s not a thing to keep playing like this.”
“The Lakers’ defensive arrangement on the inside is very good. They also adopt a strategy of switching defenses and then switching defenses in the middle distance. Their defense is really good.”
Nate McMillan also saw this clearly. He found that the Lakers’ defense had a lot of pressure on the team, and to be precise, it was a lot of pressure on Luo Yin.
The Lakers are a team that pays great attention to the inside and mid-range defense. Chacha Luoyin’s scoring area is these two positions, so let him use his offense to deal with the Lakers’ defense. nemesis.
“To play against the Lakers, it’s best to use three-pointers.”
Nate McMillan came to this conclusion.
on the pitch.
Gasol held the ball in a high position, and Fisher immediately moved to the bottom corner after passing the ball from the top of the arc.
This is another way of playing the triangle offense. The big man is raised to attract defensive attention, and the weak side player can attack directly after holding the ball with his back.
Because of Gasol’s up-line restraint, although there are still a lot of defensive players and space in the interior line at this time, and the space is slightly compressed, but because Gasol is far away from the penalty area, Kobe naturally got an offensive opportunity near the free throw line.
It is a mid-range attack opportunity.
It’s just that Kobe is very good at mid-range offense.
Dribble the ball one step forward, pass Luo Yin behind him sideways, and then lean back from the middle distance to force it directly.
Swish!
The goal was scored very simply.
“That’s why the Lakers dared to play three big players. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”
“Half of the teams in the league have started to speed up in the past one or two years, weakening the big players in the interior, choosing to retain a maximum of two big men to form dominance in the interior, and then dominate the offense from the outside.”
“Only the Lakers dare to go their own way, but they have the confidence to take three big players, and they don’t worry about affecting the team’s offense.”

“Because the Lakers have the best mid-range perimeter player in the league, Kobe Bryant.”
Barkley nodded and analyzed again and again.
This is why the Lakers’ record has been soaring after getting Gasol. What they have been lacking is this player who can act as a pivot, attack independently, pass the ball and defend.
Gasol may go to any team in the league to become an All-Star and help the team improve steadily, but only when he joins the Lakers will his abilities and characteristics be infinitely magnified. What is missing is players like Gasol.
After scoring this goal, the Lakers led 7:2.
The opponent quickly opened up the point difference and suppressed the opponent’s defensive end, which made people a little dumbfounded. At least all the Blazers did not react, how they were opened up by 5 points in the blink of an eye.
More importantly, the Lakers players on the court gave the Trail Blazers players an inexplicable pressure, which they have never encountered since the playoffs.
This Lakers team is really the best team they have ever faced.
“Give me the ball!”
Zhang Jun shouted suddenly.
