Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Don't look at Director Zhang who is usually very clever, but he is still very reliable at this time.

Before Tianwangshan, the head coaches of the two teams must have worked hard to study today's tactics.

The two teams punched together, and whoever couldn't stand it first and called a timeout must be in a passive position.

The dominant side only needs to adjust according to the opponent's changes.

Tactics, when it comes to critical moments, it is more beneficial to whoever has more back-ups.

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Bynum with Mike Roberts.

In this way, Gasol was referred to the center position.

Yang Li frowned when he saw this, the Lakers should be going to play a "triangle offense".

This set of tactics that the Zen master is best at.

This game is also the first time the Lakers have focused on triangle tactics in this year's playoffs.

The triangle tactic is still a very powerful tactic.

It's just that, driven by the Clippers, the league has a small ball trend.

Almost all teams have started to change in the direction of fast-paced, long-range players.

The Lakers are no exception. After all, Kobe and Paul are already very comfortable with this style of play and rhythm.

However, under the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, this style of play can easily lead to losses due to poor handling.

There is another problem, that is, playing small ball is very afraid of encountering teams that are good at positional warfare.

If the opponent can play the effect in every positional battle, but the feeling on his side is not good.

That is basically the life of being hammered.

The triangle offense is a very good positional warfare tactic.

It's just that this set of tactics is too complicated, and the cost of learning is relatively high.

But Bryant and Gasol are already very familiar with the triangle offense, there is no pressure at all.

And Paul, who just joined the Lakers at the beginning of this season, has a golf quotient that exceeds 99% of players in the league.

It didn't take him long to learn the triangle, and he played it a few times during the regular season, to great effect.

Now Phil Jackson lets Kobe, Paul and Gasol play a triangle offense, the main purpose is to suppress the rhythm of the game.

Don't give the Clippers the opportunity to continue to speed up the game, otherwise the Clippers will definitely crush the Lakers to death with crowd tactics again.

The Lakers' first offense after the change was initiated by Paul.

Paul lobs the ball to Gasol in the penalty area on the wing, and then runs directly to the baseline with Kobe's screen.

Gasol immediately returned the ball to Paul in the corner, but because of Kobe's strong containment, the Clippers' defense was a step slower.

Paul made a corner three-pointer with no defense.

Swish!

The ball crashed into the net, and the Lakers recovered 3 points.

Came to the Clippers' offensive round.

It has to be said that Phil Jackson's strategy of pressing the rhythm is very correct.

After the rhythm slowed down, the Clippers, who were originally hot, suddenly became dumb.

Curry got an open three-pointer under the double screen of his teammates, but the ball missed the basket.

Gasol protects the backboard and hands the ball to Paul.

Paul came upfield again with the ball, this time passing the ball to Gasol and cross-screening with Bryant.

Gasol returned the ball to Bryant's hands, but also gave Bryant enough space for singles.

At this time, the person defending Kobe has been replaced by Curry.

With Curry's defensive ability, I'm afraid it can't stop Kobe from scoring at all.
