All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 767: I stud, you are free!
Latest URL: My name is Rick Adelman.
Until the start of this series with the Lakers, I was still worried about how to twist the Blazers' stars into one strand.
I thought about it in my head countless times.
Because I know that if I can't bring the stars of the Trail Blazers together, then we won't be able to beat the Lakers.
However...
Although I have talked to Kevin, Vince, Paul, and Chris many times in private recently...
But the result after each conversation...
But I feel exhausted physically and mentally.
At this moment, I couldn't help but think of the happy time when I led them to the Finals last year.
That was my lost youth. It was the prosperous years of running with this trailblazer team in the sunset.
Pioneer, what's wrong with you?
Why...
Why have you become what you are now in just a few months?
Uh...
Okay!
The Staples Center.
Adelman never expected that in the end the stars of the Trail Blazers would still unite.
Just...
Something different from what Adelman thought was that when the stars were twisted into a rope...
On the evening of the 3rd, he was already reduced to a tool man who was specifically responsible for handing tactical boards to artillery guides and leather guides.
And the Staples scene...
After the Lakers played the championship in the previous series with the Grizzlies, the Lakers who thought that the restless Lakers would easily solve the Blazers' Lakers as the experts predicted...
The same never expected...
Their "My Lake Championship", which had been holding back all night, really didn't call it out all night.
So...
This Blazers' victory over the Lakers is called "upset", which is outrageous.
On the 3rd, in the first round of the Western Conference semifinals with the Lakers, the Blazers beat the Lakers 117 to 109 in an "upset" away game.
In the whole game, Paul and Carter scored 19 points, 9 assists and 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists respectively.
In addition, Garnett also scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists.
And Battier, who unexpectedly appeared in the Blazers' starting roster this night, scored five three-pointers for the team and passed two successful positions in the final quarter to create Marion in this game. His fifth and sixth personal fouls.
In this game, Su Feng and Kobe didn't feel ideal.
The former shot 11 of 23, including free throws and three-pointers, only the Lakers got 37 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists.
The latter made 5 of 19 shots and barely scored 21 points relying on free throws.
By changing the formation, the Blazers effectively limited the Lakers' offensive and defensive rhythm on the court.
Although Garnett after gaining weight is still ten kilograms lighter than Xiaojia, but relying on his excellent experience and position control, Xiaojia has no way to get him in the low position.
And come back, I usually like to fly other people’s kites on the outside line...
I was still alive by this iron-blooded wolf king.
Pierce didn't score much this time.
But with the help of teammates...
He greatly increased the cost of each shot Su Feng made on the court.
I have to say that after teaming up to ban the head coach, the Blazers have found their most correct way to open.
Because Garnett and Battier are very good at assisting defense.
So on the evening of the 3rd, the Trail Blazers, who used mixed defenses throughout the game, not only successfully defended their penalty area, but even on the court. When the Lakers broke their defenses in the traditional way of breaking the defenses, they also always Can defuse the Lakers' offense in the first time.
At the critical moment, it was not that Lu and Van Gundy had never thought of directly offering the strongest form of the Lakers-Suko took turns in singles.
However, under the Blazers’ unlimited defense strategy, coupled with the Blazers’ insiders, they can always retract in the first place...
Neither Su Feng nor Kobe can annihilate this trailblazer without touching the "God of Heaven" switch.
Moreover, when playing against the regular season, the Lakers can always rely on Su Feng to build advantages.
Because the Blazers Galaxy battleship also has a pair of Spanish Geminis Fernandez and Rodriguez in the combat readiness, so on the spot, the Lakers second team led by Su Feng hit the Blazers and took the f4 apart. In the team's second lineup, the Lakers actually became the lower side in terms of the overall strength of the lineup. .
Of course, in this game, in addition to the fact that the opponent played well, the Lakers' failure was also related to the Lakers' failure to adjust the game state in the first time after a rest period of nearly a week.
In addition, the previous round of the Grizzlies series also made the Lakers think of underestimating the enemy before the start of the Western Conference semifinals.
Huh?
You said that in the Western Conference semifinals, it is impossible for the NBA to underestimate the enemy?
Wake up!
In the Champions League final, there were people who underestimated the enemy after leading 3-0...
How could it not be possible in the Western Conference semifinals?
People, why are people?
Because human beings have learned the most lessons in their long life, that is, they never learn lessons.
Actually...
Before the start of the Western Conference semifinals, Su Feng had already anticipated this way of losing.
It's just...
Even if he repeatedly ordered his teammates to be serious, subconsciously, the Lakers, who have been accustomed to this season, are already destined to suffer this disaster in their fate.
Su Feng knows that as the team leader, as the team leader, it is his duty to remind his teammates to be prepared for danger in times of peace when the team is moving upwards as a whole.
But if overcorrected, it will also bring some unnecessary psychological burden to the team.
So, on the premise that we are ready to play at least 6 games with this trailblazer in the morning...
Su Feng doesn't think that losing at this time is a bad thing.
Because at least, this night the pioneers have proven to the world...
This team of Lakers has never been unbeatable.
They also have times when they are in bad shape.
For basketball games, having super stars like Su Feng and Kobe may mean that your upper limit will be very high.
But every accident on and off the court is likely to affect this upper limit.
Be aware that real games are not like playing games. The abilities of the stars are all fixed.
For example, before the game, so-and-so did not sleep well last night, it is likely to affect his on-the-spot state.
So, the team that has always been able to reach the final championship will not necessarily have the best star of the season.
But it must be the best team in the NBA that season.
To put it plainly.
Basketball is ultimately a sport of five people.
On this night, the Trail Blazers' five-man team played better than the Lakers, nothing more.
"Guys, promise me, can you stop spreading negative energy one by one, okay?" After the game, in the Lakers locker room, watching the group of teammates who didn't even dare to breathe after the loss, Su Feng was immediately happy.
As the saying goes, everything has to be viewed in two.
In Su Feng's view, these teammates lost more than one teammate after losing. You can understand that their psychological quality is not strong enough.
However, you can also understand that they are already aware of their problems, so driven by their sense of responsibility, no one dares to beep loudly at this time.
The obvious thing is...
The Lakers obviously belong to the latter group.
After all, as a team that has to carry Su Feng's "Fire Eyes" and Kobe's "Death Stars" all day long to compete...
For this Laker, the pressure is...
Can that count as a problem?
Su Feng knows that at this time, apart from indulging Kobe to use his eyes to "inspire" his teammates...
As the person responsible for singing red faces, he must also stand up and let this group of teammates breathe fresh air.
In short, no matter how many summaries and reviews are done, and no matter how many pots are thrown at each other, it will not be possible to change the fact that the Lakers have lost.
So instead of finding your own reason...
Su Feng always prefers to find the flaws of his opponent.
Because no matter what the competition is, in essence, whoever makes fewer mistakes and who can make better use of the other's mistakes will have the last laugh.
Su Feng's previous life, why did all the Go masters shut themselves up when "Afa Dog" came out?
Because human beings feel despair in competitive events for the first time without being stupid.
And once a certain competitive event loses the following, the possibility of defeating the strong with the weak...
Then this project naturally gradually became dull.
But then again...
On Kobe's performance this night...
How dare he play this post-match double with himself?
As for his performance of 5 of 19 shots tonight, shouldn't he be the first to be pulled out of the fight and the meeting?
"I am different from them.
I just behaved badly.
But I never thought we could easily defeat this trailblazer. "In the locker room, looking at Su Feng confidently, I saw Kobe speak solemnly.
Su Feng: "..."
What you said makes sense!
I was speechless!
……
On the 4th, with the news that the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers in the g1 game gradually fermented...
For a while, many "yunhu honeys" felt that their sky was falling.
What to do!
Our beloved team is about to die!
Why did the Blazers suddenly become so strong!
Why is it?
Uh...
One to say one...
Su Feng really doesn't understand why, regardless of past and present, there are so many people who like to talk about them after the game.
To be reasonable, if it weren't for the NBA's playoffs to play seven games...
Just look at these comments after the game that the Lakers unanimously shifted the direction of public opinion that the Lakers wanted gg...
Then Su Feng almost thought he was playing ncaa.
Why did the Trailblazers "suddenly" become so strong?
Of course it is because they have such a background.
It's just...
They haven't integrated their own advantages before.
At the end of the first game, Van Gundy has actually put forward some constructive suggestions to Director Lu for the infinite rotation and mixed defense of this trailblazer.
For example, how should the Lakers on the court use the buff monster Su Feng to attack.
For another example, when the situation is not open, how other Lakers players should make decisions.
However, it doesn’t matter how much Van Gundy’s proposal on the 4th hit the nail on the head...
On the Internet, some people firmly believe that after the first game with the Blazers, this Lakers has been eliminated.
Because after putting out a bunch of high-level data and various technical statistics that are not conducive to the Lakers' first game...
These "great gods" have not only successfully discovered the various problems that currently exist in the Lakers.
Furthermore, under their description, this Trailblazers defense seems impossible to crack.
"Believe me, the Lakers are going home for this round of the series, because the infinite rotation of this Trailblazer is really abnormal!"
"I feel that the Lakers are completely cold. Even if Sue and Kobe break out at the same time, it will be difficult for them to beat the Trail Blazers."
"So, the previous series that the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies 4-0 is really a defeated character. If they let the Grizzlies win one game, would they fall to this point?"
emmmm.
If it is said that the Blazers belittle the Lakers, in Su Feng's view, at least they barely understand a little bit...
The saying that 4 to 0 defeated the Grizzlies and defeated the character...
The truth is that only cerebral palsy can be said.
On the evening of the 5th, the Lakers vs. Trail Blazers' Western Conference semifinal g2 game continued at Staples Center.
In this game, in addition to the continuation of the start when he won the first game, Adelman was still the tool man who was emptied on the sidelines.
On the court, as the Lakers' thinking and play style change.
This night, how is the Blazers’ defense at this moment as magical as the two teams’ first game?
On the court, in accordance with Van Gundy’s suggestion, Su Feng increased the three-point shot after using the off-the-ball screen.
On the other hand, Kobe also adjusted his shot structure.
Because in Van Gundy's view, the real strength of this trailblazer lies in Paul and Garnett.
So as long as the Lakers can use their advantages on the wing and continue to put pressure on the Trail Blazers through outside shots, the Lakers can prompt the Trail Blazers to change their defensive structure.
Of course.
For this suggestion given by Van Gundy, before the game, Director Lu also gave his own doubts.
Because once the Lakers shoot from the outside, they can’t force the Blazers to change their defensive structure...
Next, the Lakers will definitely be infinitely passive on the court.
At that time, after staring at Director Lu for several seconds, Van Gundy always felt that this guy should first be a commentator for two years before becoming a coach.
"Taylen, I know, you want to say,'You can't win the championship by shooting alone', right?" Van Gundy asked before the game, looking at Lu instructor.
Guide Lu nodded, "This tactic is good for everything, but the risk is too great."
"Then Tyronn, what kind of tactics are risk-free and what kind of game style can guarantee you a 100% win?
Su is the best pitcher in the league today. In his 13-year career, he has made more than 3,000 three-pointers.
And even if Kobe is not as accurate as Sue, as long as Kobe wants to shoot from the outside, then why should Vince stop him? "Staring at Guidance Lu, Van Gundy asked.
At this time, Guidance Lu instantly had nothing to say.
Because of the basketball game, there are no tactics to ensure that you can win the opponent.
Especially in a game where everyone's overall strength is very close.
In Van Gundy's view, instead of being beaten passively, at least he chooses to change actively. The fate of the Lakers is in his own hands.
Fortunately, this night, the Lakers are not only Su Feng, if they have a godly help...
Face Carter on the court. In the first quarter alone, Kobe scored 3 three-pointers for the Lakers.
And now...
Same as Van Gundy expected...
With the Lakers' outside shots, the Blazers' insides can no longer provide endless support to their flanks as before.
In addition, in the second quarter of the game, once an opportunity appeared on the court, the Lakers' benches also played more resolutely.
On the sidelines, on the Lakers bench, watching this trailblazer that could have been better, Van Gundy couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say, we are really lucky."
Hearing this, Director Lu was taken aback for a moment, then for a moment, and then asked: "Jeff, why did you say this?"
Van Gundy shook his head and said, "Because if Rick is a defensive coach, then in terms of the composition of this Trailblazer, he can definitely increase the defense of this team. One level.
And in that way...
The cost of betting against them in the game is different. "
In Van Gundy’s view, if you compare a basketball game to a gambling table where both sides are gambling...
At this moment, facing the Stud of the Lakers...
The trailblazers led by Adelman were already panicked.
Especially in the second half of the game.
In order to prevent Suko from making waves on the outside, the Blazers inexplicably allowed Marion to complete an empty cut on the field when defending on the inside.
In the end, what is completely different from what the cloud experts think after the g1 war that it will be difficult for the Lakers to win the trailblazers even if Suko breaks out at the same time...
This night, the Lakers not only won.
In the eyes of cloud experts after the g2 war, Suko is far from even talking about a simultaneous outbreak.
In this game, the two teams finished with a score of 104 to 121.
In the entire game, Su Feng scored 38 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Lakers.
Kobe scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists for the Lakers.
Just looking at the scores, Su Feng and Kobe didn't seem to get much more points than the G1 game combined.
But as the scoring structure of the two players changed in this game, the other Lakers players were fully dispatched.
Just...
Speaking of which, it still feels so incredible.
Because on this night, it is not someone else who makes Lakers players resolutely shoot outside...
It was Jeff Van Gundy who insisted on forcing Alan Houston to shoot the "three-pointer".
Furthermore, Van Gundy's reasons were very good.
"Three points are two points, isn't it one more point?
Also, don’t you know that a 3-pointer with 3 of 10 shots is basically the same as a 2-pointer with 5 of 10 shots in terms of efficiency? "Before the game, just as Director Lu was hesitant...
I saw Van Gundy look at Director Lu with a puzzled look and asked.
As a result, it turns out.
On this night, Su Feng and Kobe made 11 three-pointers together, which really undermined the Blazers' defense to a large extent.
"You said, why didn't I understand these truths when I was coaching the Knicks?" Van Gundy asked curiously when he looked at Lu Director this evening.
Guide Lu: "..."
You tm ask me...
Who can I ask?
"By the way, Jeff, do you have ideas for the next game?" After the game, Lu asked with his arm around Van Gundy's shoulder.
On the sidelines, after shaking his head, Van Gundy immediately looked at Su Feng who was still on the court with Kobe.
"He can guide us to a farther future.
Taylen, if you don’t understand that the champion of this game is Su, not me...
Then I suggest you to retire as soon as possible and give me the position of Lakers coach as early as possible! "Looking at the guidance of Lu solemnly, Van Gundy said, "See you in a hurry."
Guide Lu: "..."
Sure enough!
Since becoming the head coach of the Lakers...
Every day there are people who want to harm me!
But...
What Mentor Lu, who thought Van Gundy was taking advantage of his own chance, didn't know that...
The words Van Gundy just said were definitely not a compliment to Su Feng.
Because the more I chatted with Su Feng about the details related to tactics...
The more Van Gundy felt that the horror of this man was beyond the imagination of the world.
"There is no problem that cannot be solved by a three-pointer.
If there is one, add another one. "
On the morning of the 4th, before the rest of the Lakers came to the training hall, looking at Su Feng who was warming up with Kobe through a bullfight on the court, Van Gundy would never forget the way Su Feng looked at him at the time.
And it was at that moment...
Van Gundy discovered...
Whether it’s the respected John Davis, or Spoelstra, who has been recognized as a generation of marshals...
It seems...
Nothing great either.
"tmd, why is it cheaper for Tyron this kid?"
Tonight, looking at the silly look of Director Lu...
Van Gundy is desperate.
And what makes Van Gundy even more desperate...
At the press conference after the game~IndoMTL.com~When people asked why the Lakers shot so crazy from outside in this game...
Director Lu also copied his words intact.
Van Gundy: "..."
No!
Can't you have some understanding and things of your own?
Guide Lu: As the head coach, copy the tactics of your own assistant, can that be called copy?
That's called being good at listening to suggestions and analyzing and integrating. Do you as a teaching assistant understand?
Van Gundy: "..."
……
ps: I still almost count the words to return to yesterday's short chapter=. =, but the work and rest can't be messy, so on the 24th, let's just use 10,000 words! mwah!
