I am so Accurate

Chapter 688 Underestimation, still underestimated!

After defeating the Wizards, the Lakers continued their efforts, easily defeated the Bucks two days later, and then defeated the 76ers and Celtics in back-to-back games.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles with a unbeatable away record, and since Sun Hao's comeback, they have won five consecutive games.

If you are a Lakers fan, you just want to express your joy by swaying in place and performing a dance.

Since the end of the last dynasty, this is the first time they truly feel that the former Purple and Gold Lakers are back!

Now, call them the favorites, again!

And what's more gratifying than the record is that the Lakers' triangle offense is also flourishing under the leadership of Harris.

It's not that Harris was suddenly opened up by the old Winter and became a governor, and he mastered the triangle offense.

But as mentioned before, one of Sun Hao and Yao Ming was a master of triangle offensive tactics before, and the other has a super high golf IQ.

They got started too quickly.

As for other role players, they don't need to understand this tactic so deeply. They just need to remember what they should do on the field.

For example, the forward on the strong side only needs to read the opponent's defensive focus and decide whether to move to the 45th degree to provide Sun Hao with a pick-and-roll, or slide from the baseline to cut in.

For another example, the defender at the top of the arc only needs to be ready to catch the ball and take an outside shot, or to attract help and then give the ball to an open teammate.

Well, it still sounds a bit difficult.

Fortunately, Sun Hao and Yao Ming can not only do their part, but also guide their teammates with gestures or eyes.

In other words, the two of them led their teammates into the triangle tactic.

This situation is seen by many fans.

Many people even have this feeling: If Sun Yao had joined forces a few years ago, there would be no such thing as small ball tactics!

To be honest, the development of basketball is inevitable but not accidental.

The decline of centers is directly related to the emergence of small balls.

But it is precisely because of this that fans are looking forward to the matchup between the Lakers and Warriors.

Because who is better in the traditional inside and outside combination or small ball tactics will only be answered after the two teams play against each other.

However, this schedule is really exciting. The first game between the two teams will be on Christmas Day, which can be regarded as whetting the appetite.

Of course, the Warriors are not the only teams in the league that play small ball. The Grizzlies, Knicks, and even the Bulls are also included.

The Lakers' matches against these teams are also interesting.

The most recent, that is, the Lakers will play the Bulls at home in three days.

This is also a focus battle that fans pay attention to.

The Bulls' record this season is significantly more stable than last season, and they are now one win over the Knicks at the top of the Eastern Conference.

The Bulls had ups and downs last season, and one detail that is easily overlooked is the expiration of several core contracts.

Although not everyone cares about money, in the contract year, they are not only thinking about money, but also their career prospects, etc., which will inevitably lead to distraction.

It is reasonable for the performance to fluctuate due to distractions.

Now that the contract issue has been resolved, and with the addition of immediate combat capabilities like Ray Allen, it is also expected that the team will perform well.

So although it's not against the Warriors, there's a lot to watch in this game.

The day before the game started, TNT had prepared a warm-up early.

This game was shaped in advance into a representative battle of traditional basketball PK small balls.

Barkley also returned to his old business and started a bet with O'Neal.

And the interesting thing is that which side the two support is decided by tossing a coin.

In the end, O'Neal got a silver coin with heads on both sides out of nowhere, and successfully got his full bet on the Lakers.

The stakes of the bet between the two are also very interesting. The loser cannot reply to the winner in the next episode. The bet is doubled for each reply, which means that the loser cannot reply in the next two consecutive episodes. There is no upper limit.

This is very interesting, a bit like a future non-offline live broadcast challenge.

And don’t underestimate this kind of bet. If the loser really can’t bear it, he will always be at a disadvantage in the show. This is something neither of the two people can stand.

This wave of betting can be said to have raised the interest of this game to another level.

Under the spotlight, the game between the Lakers and Bulls was staged at the Staples Center.

The venue was packed with seats, and the television ratings immediately broke a season high.

Everything has been prepared before the game, and we are just waiting for the game to start.

During the warm-up before the game, Yi Jianlian took the initiative to come over and chat with Sun Hao and Yao Ming.

The three people stood together talking and laughing. This scene was captured by the reporters on the sidelines. It was very special.

Who would have thought that three superstar-level Chinese players would appear in the NBA at the same time within a period of time? And now they can still get together like this?

This photo will definitely be talked about by fans in the future.

On the court, Yi Jianlian showed unprecedented confidence.

This is probably the most confident Yi Jianlian fans have ever seen.

In the summer, he signed a five-year, 100 million contract, won the Olympic championship, and now the team is at the top of the division. Anyone who replaces him will be proud of it.

They talked about the same thing, and the pre-game warm-up was almost over, followed by the opening ceremony.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were also announced.

For the Bulls, Paul, Ray Allen, John Salmons, Yi Jianlian, Bosh.

For the Lakers, Knight, Sun Hao, Carter, Millsap, Yao Ming.

"Yao looks like he's lost a lot of weight."

During the opening ceremony, O'Neal in the commentary box couldn't help but say.

If you keep paying attention to a person, it will be difficult for you to see the process of his gaining weight, but if he loses weight, you will definitely be able to see it at a glance.

Although the season has only started for about a month, Yao Ming's weight loss is visible to the naked eye.

If you can't do high-intensity exercise, you have to strictly control your diet.

Unlike O'Neal, Yao Ming is definitely a model in terms of self-discipline.

So his weight loss is no surprise at all.

Barkley looked helpless at this time. He was tricked by O'Neal with a "fake coin" and he had been very depressed these days.

But there's nothing I can do about it, O'Neal is so shady, and he's a loser.

Now he turns his head and looks at the Bulls, hoping that the Bulls can do better tonight!

While chatting in the commentary box, all the starters on both sides of the field have already appeared.

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's jump ball.

When the whistle sounded, Yi Jianlian jumped up and returned the ball to the Bulls half, and the away team attacked first.

When the Bulls came up, they played small ball tactics. Yi Jianlian reached the top of the key and held the ball, and then Paul and Bosh played pick-and-roll cooperation without the ball.

After Bosh arrived in Chicago, he began to practice three-point shooting, and he also began to show his rare shooting talent as a big man.

Now that the two of them are inside partners, they can stretch the inside line as wide as the Hulunbuir Prairie when attacking.

Of course, Yao Ming will definitely not be able to get out. The Lakers are currently defending a one-inside and four-outside defense, selectively letting go of the mid-range.

Paul noticed it immediately, and then took a step to the mid-range after a pick-and-roll with Bosh and shot a pull-up jumper.

This is his favorite way to score.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball passes through a high parabola and then falls into the bag.

The Bulls come out on top!

There is a small detail on the court. After Paul took the shot, the Bulls were already retreating.

Because the two big men on the inside are standing on the outside, and they are both very fast, they have a natural advantage in switching between offense and defense.

The Lakers have little chance of scoring as many points in transition as they did against the Clippers.

If they want to win, they have to follow Yao Ming's previous thinking and improve their offensive success rate in positional battles.

Knight controlled the ball in the frontcourt and passed it to Sun Hao. Yao Ming dropped into the low post and backed Bosh. The Lakers started a triangle offense at the beginning.

Sun Hao fed the ball into the low post, and Yao Ming hit Bosh with his back.

But just when he turned around, Yi Jianlian's defensive help had already arrived.

Yao Ming has quick eyes and quick hands to distribute the ball to Millsap on the weak side. This scene is very similar to when he played against the Clippers.

But the difference came soon. When Millsap caught the ball and was about to dunk, Yi Jianlian returned to defense!

Compared with Gasol, Yi Jianlian, who is at the peak of his career, is much faster in terms of movement and reaction speed.

Millsap saw it and made a beautiful leap backwards.

The name "Matt Kay Generation" is not for nothing. His strength will increase by one point every year.

But at the moment he took action, Bosh let Yao Ming come over, which interfered with his action.

"Dang!"

His shot bounced out of the frame. Yi Jianlian turned around and blocked Yao Ming. Bosh turned around and saw the landing spot and jumped up to protect the defensive rebound.

This scene caused a stir in the scene.

After playing in the past few years, the Bulls' interior combination has a good understanding of each other.

The opening attack and defense amused Barkley in the commentary box.

In this opening situation, the Bulls clearly had the upper hand!

Although he was still Sun Chui, he didn't want to lose the bet.

From his perspective as a former superstar, the Lakers' triangle offense is actually not that powerful when it encounters such a flexible inside line.

The game continued on the court, and Paul hit another mid-range fadeaway jumper after a pick-and-roll.

When it comes to the topic of "CIC is as stable as a dog", Paul is definitely one of the popular candidates.

The consecutive names at the beginning put a lot of pressure on the Lakers' defense.

And in the next round, although Sun Hao hit a beautiful catch and fall back after the pick-and-roll, the Lakers' triangle tactics still failed to work.

Old Winter has studied the triangle tactic for his whole life but never dared to say that he has thoroughly studied it. This is because this tactic is very different from other tactics.

It does not have fixed tactical movements, but only a few concepts. Players are required to make their own judgments based on defense on the field, and then make the most advantageous choice based on the concept of the triangle.

This is also the reason why the triangle offense in history failed to work in New York.

It has relatively high requirements for players, whether they are core or role players.

Although the Lakers got started quickly under the leadership of Sun Hao and Yao Ming, you said it will take some time to achieve success.

The opponent in front of him was too weak to see it, but when he encountered the Bulls' flexibility inside, he was quickly exposed.

Paul continued to play pick-and-roll and was double-teamed. He passed the ball to Bosh who was separated. Bosh also made a big two-pointer from the high post!

There is a reason why the Bulls can overtake the Knicks and top the Eastern Conference list. They are in great shape this season!

2 to 6!

The Bulls turned away and gave the Lakers a powerful start.

And in the next round, the Lakers changed the triangle tactics and played a "CornerPNR", and Knight and Yao Ming played a coordination.

This tactic was originally intended to create misplaced scoring opportunities, but when Knight used Yao Ming's screen to break through, Bosh almost blocked the ball by turning around and blocking the shot.

Bosh is another center answer in the small ball era!

At this time, Harris reached out and rubbed his face.

This was the first time he had encountered such an unfavorable situation since he learned the triangle tactic from Winter.

Moreover, the Lakers have not changed their offensive tactics. The triangle offense has four major offensive systems, and they have already used three of them.

Just when he was worried, the Bulls played a classic round of small ball in the frontcourt.

Paul broke through to the inside and attracted the defense, then made a beautiful behind-the-back pass back to Yi Jianlian at the top of the key.

The confidence on Yi Jianlian's face did not diminish. After catching the ball, he raised his hand and shot, and he shot!

2 to 9!

The Bulls played a crazy game!

This opening is a great advantage!

In the commentary box, Barkley had a smile on his face.

"Shaq, it seems you have to go to Phil in advance and ask for another book on Zen."

Barkley's words are very meaningful.

This was an early announcement that he had won the bet and asked O'Neal to take charge of Phil Jackson and continue to study Zen and cultivate his character.

Otherwise, if he can't help but criticize him in the next episode, he will always be suppressing O'Neal in TNT.

Thinking about it is still extremely comfortable.

O'Neill looked unconcerned.

On the court, Sun Hao once again held the ball on the outside.

But this time, he didn't run the tactics according to the training, but signaled Carter and himself to change tactical positions.

After a wave of running, Yao Ming continued to pull to a 45-degree angle for a pick-and-roll, but this time the person playing the pick-and-roll with him was not Carter or Knight, but Sun Hao!

When this pick-and-roll appeared, the Bulls were obviously caught off guard.

Although their instinctive awareness made them choose to change defense immediately. But at the moment when the defense change occurred, Sun Hao accelerated and passed Bosh and rushed to the inside!

Bosh's movement speed is indeed fast among big men, but it also depends on who is in front of him!

Sun Hao had already thought about how to play this tactic, so when the opportunity appeared, he would never let it slip away!

He broke into the paint and faced the Bulls' quick defense with a mid-air pull-up shot.

If you look at it purely from the perspective of a fan, this ball is simply a masterpiece of one-on-five.

The Staples Center erupted in an instant.

At this time, O'Neal smiled and touched his chin, and then winked at Barkley like a cat in a classic gif.

This scene made Kenny Smith, who was caught in the middle, laugh.

The days of commentary with these two are really full of joy.

And there are indeed subtle changes on the field at this moment.

After Bosh missed a three-point shot from the outside, the Lakers advanced to the frontcourt.

It's still the same tactic, but this time because the Bulls switch defenses quickly, it doesn't look like a triangle, but more like... a pick-and-roll tactic!

After breaking it open, Sun Hao continued to move in, forcing the Bulls' defense to shrink before returning to Yao Ming in the high post.

Yao Ming catches the ball and takes aim at the mid-range shot.

"Uh-huh!"

Yao Ming's mid-range shot hit steadily!

In the field of "CIC is as stable as a dog", in addition to Paul, Yao Ming is also a popular candidate!

And don’t forget the “ten cents”!

6 to 9!

The Lakers caught up with the score in one wave!

There were bursts of whistles and cheers.

On the bench, Harris suddenly laughed.

This is a happy smile.

Because he found that he underestimated Sun Hao and Yao Ming in the end.

He even recalled that there were some things he didn't notice about the success of the national team.

The basketball IQ of these two people is too high!

It's so high that if you design a tactical system for them, you are giving them a framework.

In the end, he found that this framework was actually completely unnecessary for the two of them.

In other words, this framework is actually set up for the rest of the team.

Just like Phil Jackson's original intention of trying the triangle offense with the Bulls, it was to make other teammates feel more involved in the game!

As for how to actually play on the field, any tactics are not fixed for these two people.

Because these two people have reached a certain level in terms of strength and tacit understanding, they will make the most appropriate choice on the court.

Just like the triangle just now, oh no, more accurately it should be a pick-and-roll, which is the best choice to break the deadlock on the court!

Underestimation, still underestimated!
