I am so Accurate

Jackson looked at Sun Hao for a long time.

Perhaps at this moment, his insider thought was, Sun Hao, will he be the next Kobe?

But soon, his idea was denied by himself.

What Sun Hao did after he got to the Lakers was completely different from Kobe.

If you have to compare, among the players he has coached, Sun Hao is more like Jordan.

He also seems to understand why Jordan put Sun Hao at the top of the top five shooting guards, because who doesn't like people with a style similar to his own?

In history, McGrady likes Durant, Nowitzki likes Porzingis, Kobe likes Irving, and none of them are like this.

So after realizing this level, he thought it might be time to look at Sun Hao's upper limit of talent.

"I'll make that starting lineup."

Phil Jackson made his decision.

...

On the day of the game, the Lakers arranged a full-court confrontation training.

In the second group confrontation, he put Ariza, Malone and Anderson in the starting group.

This approach has made the players realize that there may be lineup adjustments for the evening game.

After the training ended, Jackson took advantage of the opportunity to announce the new starting lineup.

This approach is similar to what Nelson Sr. did with the Mavericks.

No one questioned.

Veterans like Horry and Howard have played in the league for more than ten years, and they are also gentle.

Including Malone, playing as a starter or as a substitute, this is basically his last season, and he doesn't have that much pursuit.

Ariza, on the other hand, looked extraordinarily excited.

What Sun Hao said before is correct. The player's rookie period is the most motivated and the most motivated time.

After Jackson made the arrangements, Malone immediately approached Jackson.

Veterans read and understand the game very differently from ordinary people, especially for Hall of Fame players like Malone.

He played against Olajuwon in the Western Conference Finals and played against Jordan in the Finals. After more than 20 years of military career, he has long had his own unique understanding of the game.

"Shaq was injured, and the triangular tactics were not effective in the past few games. We can play more pick-and-rolls."

Malone's suggestion is spot on.

Some people may say that the triangle offense does not necessarily require two core players. Jordan was actually a single-core player on the offensive end of the Bulls.

However, there is only one Jordan.

And although Sun Hao was designated as the top five shooting guards by Jordan, the two play styles are actually completely different.

Jordan was able to play at the beginning because a large part of Jordan's style of play was post-up singles, which could form a stable triangle.

In the case of Sun Hao, you can fight, but the effect will not be so good.

On the contrary, when Sun Hao was in Dallas, he played pick-and-roll with Nowitzki every day. Playing pick-and-roll is the most appropriate.

Jackson agreed.

But he won't just play pick-and-roll tactics, after all, he hasn't trained before.

The flexible combination of the triangle and the pick-and-roll will be the main theme of the team's offense tonight.

He then called Sun Hao over, and gave him the right to "infinity".

"You decide on the court which tactics to play."

This is in line with his coaching style: leave the game to the players.

And what can still be heard is his unconditional trust in Sun Hao.

The conversation between the two before made a big change in Jackson's understanding of Sun Hao.

...

That night, Staples Center.

At the scene, the attendance rate was still full.

Although the team's recent situation is not good, and O'Neal is still absent, but tonight's opponent is the defending champion Pistons.

Although there have been major changes in the personnel of the Lakers, the grievances between the two teams in the Finals last season have been forged.

Don't sweep things like this in the finals, it's not a hurdle that can be passed in one go.

O'Neill also came to the scene.

Although he can't play the game yet, he has recovered a lot compared to when he was injured.

During the warm-up before the game, he looked serious, pulled Sun Hao and shook his head and talked for a long time.

"Kobe even won the Pistons. I believe you can do the same. You are so much better than him."

Finally he said this.

Sun Hao, I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.

O'Neal's complaints about Kobe are really reflected in every detail of life.

This really echoes the saying: As deep as love used to be, so much hate.

However, O'Neill was right.

Because of the summer deal, the entire league is now comparing the Lakers with the Mavericks, Sun Hao and Kobe.

Before the Lone Ranger team won the Lakers, Comey also had a climax over there.

Now if the Lone Ranger wins the Pistons and the Lakers but loses, there will definitely be another wave of negative topics after the game.

This is also in Los Angeles, which is a big difference from Dallas.

"Do not worry."

Sun Hao nodded.

Whether it was before O'Neal's injury or in the game after O'Neal's injury, he never completely let go of his hands and feet on the offensive end.

Now, when he meets a strong defensive team like the Pistons, it's time for him to touch his ceiling.

The biggest change in the Pistons lineup this summer is the departure of Okur and the arrival of veteran McDyess.

McDyess is no weaker than Okur and has more experience.

Of course, compared to this, the tacit understanding of the lineup is where their strength has improved this season.

That largely makes up for the conflicts the new rules have for them.

Especially as the season progresses, this becomes more apparent.

If you really want to compare, the current Pistons must be stronger than at the beginning of the season.

But still the same sentence: the one who fights is the strongest!

After the pre-match warm-up, both sides started to play one after another.

For the Pistons, Billups and Prince on the outside, Anthony and Rasheed Wallace on the front, and Ben Wallace at the center.

After winning the championship last season, many people regarded this team as a representative of civilians winning the championship, and dubbed it the "Pistons Five Tigers".

Now their reputation has increased a lot.

"Did Phil get drunk last night?"

On the Lakers side, when the starting lineup came out, Barkley quickly complained.

Outside Sun Hao and Finley, forward Ariza and Karl Malone, center Chris Anderson!

Except for the two outside partners who have not changed, the Lakers have a brand new starting lineup!

It would be a big taboo to change in the middle of the battle, let alone change so many at once.

"Phil has been under a lot of pressure this season, and he's a little panicked."

Kenny Smith analyzes Phil Jackson's psychology "very well".

"But I have a sixth sense. The probability of Sun's explosion in this game is 100%. Yes, he will definitely explode."

Barkley is Barkley, that is, with a big mouth, and he does not forget his current identity as Sun Chui.

This also caused Kenny Smith on the side to shake his head and laugh.

Although Sun Hao brought surprises at the beginning of the season, it proved that the combination of him and O'Neal is a natural match.

But after O'Neal was injured, his ability to lead the team was not very good.

Now they are facing the Pistons, which can be said to be the league's No. 1 defensive team. It is a bit difficult for Sun Hao to break out.

Barkley, on the other hand, seemed confident.

He Barkley doesn't actually brag about others, he just has a reason.

This has to mention the season he spent with Sun Hao in Dallas. He knows that Sun Hao is the kind of person who performs better in key games.

"beep!"

While the two were talking, a short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and the game officially started!

Anderson showed his bouncing talent, jumped high and turned the ball back to the Lakers half, giving the home team the opportunity to attack first!

The Lakers' first offense.

Sun Hao took the ball to the frontcourt, signaling the team to play a triangle offensive tactic.

Ma Long was holding the basket, Sun Hao held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right wing, and Finley fell to the bottom corner on the right.

The Pistons assisted in the defensive rotation at the first time. Ben Wallace, who was defending Anderson, shrank to the basket, and Rasheed Wallace on the other side directly jumped out to double-team Sun Hao.

Although Larry Brown has not played against Sun Hao in the playoffs, he has already played against Sun Hao in the game that made Iverson say "I don't respect anyone or fear anyone" a few years ago. The memory is deep.

So he gave Sun Hao the VIP treatment he deserved at the beginning.

Sun Hao, give the ball to Ma Long.

Malone got the ball with his long arm and directly started the low singles mode.

Malone belongs to the superstar of the last century. The new team may have an impression of him, thinking that he is the kind of insider who relies on pick-and-rolls, or even if he is inside singles, he is like O'Neal. kind of.

But in fact... all wrong.

You may not believe it, Malone's method of playing low singles is quite retro.

The two singles styles he is best at, one is the back-and-turn and fadeaway jumper, and the other is the back-and-turn hook.

Now facing Big Ben, he turned around and hooked on the move. Gif.

Daben is the kind of powerful defensive center who relies on absolute strength to block the opponent and prevent him from jumping, but even the strength of old Malone does not boo him.

Not to mention his singles defense, which made Big Ben feel like he couldn't do his best.

"Shua!"

And the point is, the ball fell into the basket very softly.

Karl Malone, a bit "not a human sky hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The Lakers, take the lead.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and Malone's opening performance after his first start was gratifying.

Facing Daben, the best defensive player who has been awarded three times in four years, this is a "Your uncle or your uncle" staged.

Anthony made a wave of catches and shots in the frontcourt, but he underestimated Ariza's wingspan and enthusiasm a bit, and the shot was blocked by interference.

Anderson leaps high for the defensive rebound.

The Lakers' lineup has changed a lot this time, but everyone who entered the starting lineup played their own performance at the beginning.

Sun Hao held the ball in the frontcourt again, and the Pistons did not come up to help defend immediately.

The basketball game is like this. A ball cannot explain many things, but a person can affect many things.

Malone can easily score the first one, who can guarantee that he will not easily score the second?

Sun Hao, the outside line got a one-on-one chance.

Of course, the reason why Brown changed his defense so quickly is also because of the existence of Prince.

Last season, Pulis was mentioned as a starter and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and his performance was as "brilliant" as in history.

In particular, the Kobe he defended in the finals became the Black Mamba, which made him famous.

Losing weight and gaining muscle did not reduce his confrontation much. Coupled with his excellent wingspan and defensive awareness, his defensive ability has been underestimated by many people.

Sun Hao didn't feel very good either.

His successive attempts failed to shake Prince away.

After Ma Long saw it, he didn't wait for Sun Hao to continue to try, and immediately raised it to help defend.

Sun Hao...Of course he didn't say "Go away, I'm going to fight Jordan one-on-one" like Kobe did.

He does have other ways to get rid of Prince, but the game is just getting started, and that would take a toll on him.

Now that Malone takes the initiative to come up for the pick-and-roll, it couldn't be better.

Pulis hid immediately, but unfortunately he didn't dodge.

If Malone has a badge, then his "pick and roll master" must be Hall of Fame.

Sun Hao's reaction was also very fast in the solid pick-and-roll, and it was immediately a step-back jumper pulled to the right.

Rasheed Wallace obviously didn't expect Prince to be blocked so thoroughly, and it was a bit late to pounce on him.

Sun Hao made a quick mid-range shot.

"Shua!"

The basketball was steadily sent to the basket by Sun Hao!

He also scored the first goal of the game!

And he, like Kobe, has the same arsenal for a year, and now he is also an "offensive half-pipe".

Looking back, Anthony shook Ariza after receiving the ball again.

Although Ariza was very active in defense, Anthony's fake moves were too realistic, and he still struggled due to his lack of experience.

Anthony pulled up the mid-range shot again.

"Shua!"

This melon is very sweet!

The Lakers' offense, Sun Hao, is still Prince's single defense.

This time Ma Long directly mentioned the three-point line in advance to play a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao.

As a superstar of the last century, what Malone did was even a bit "humble".

However, this is completely understandable.

On the one hand, Malone is a player who likes to play pick-and-roll extremely, and he is definitely happy to be able to do what he is best at.

On the other hand, Kobe's departure affected not only O'Neal, but also him. The conflict between him and Kobe also intensified last season.

So, like O'Neal, he's pretty much proving he wants to win.

And Malone is really experienced. After this pick-and-roll, he found Rasheed Wallace's intention to double-team again, and he immediately cut in.

Sun Hao... a false pass tricked Prince back.

The individual defensive awareness and ability of the Pistons players are excellent, which is a good thing, and sometimes it is not entirely a good thing.

Because defense is a split-second judgment, when Prince thought that Sun Hao would pass the ball, he made a judgment, and then Sun Hao got a chance to misplace.

Moreover, Sun Hao knew the defensive ability of the Pistons, so he didn't give the Pistons any chance to correct the misalignment.

Facing Rasheed Wallace, he pulled back with a signature breakthrough crotch, followed by a long-range three-pointer half a meter away from the three-point line.

Wallace showed his top defensive ability, and rushed out abruptly to interfere.

But still not covered.

Sun Hao's ball flew over his head and flew towards the basket.

"Shua!"

In the eyes of the fans, Sun Hao's three-pointer went into the net!

Sun Hao scored 5 points in less than a minute!

Time to start acting!
