Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 1147 - 【Sacrifice, Perseverance】



The Lakers’ defensive strategy is man-to-man, Guo Xu put Parker a step and a half distance, which can both interfere with the shot and prevent breakthroughs. His center of gravity is very low, and he is completely absorbed, which is completely different from the regular season.

Gasol pulled to the middle of the road to play a pick-and-roll. Guo Xu looked at the people on the side and quickly withdrew to cover the screen, accurately blocking Parker’s breakthrough route without leaving any gaps.

In the last round, Jeremy Lin could not be completely broken by Guo Xufang. He averaged 26 minutes per game and only got 5 points and 3.5 assists. He shot 25% from the field and 16.7% from the 3-point range. At the thought of this data, Parker only felt that his scalp was numb. He didn’t make a strong attack attempt, and Guo Xu immediately passed the ball to Gasol after being close to his body.

Horford’s position is relatively outside, defending the center. He has a superior maneuverability and is rarely overtaken by a big man, nor will Gasol make easy shots at medium and long distances.

Gasol’s physical condition is better than Horford. The two players have similar styles and know how to make each other uncomfortable. Since Horford entered the league, the results of the two players are basically mutual explosion, Gasol data slightly wins, Horford hit rate is higher.

Gasol moved a step laterally, passing the ball to Aldridge, a step inside the left three-point line, he withdrew to this distance to take the ball, and Nurkic did not dare to follow too far.

Ard catches the ball and shoots straight with a straight arm. Nurkic only had a slight interference and the goal was scored. 0 to 2.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu and Nurkic played a pick-and-roll after halftime, and Ade defended. Guo Xu held the ball slightly, played “Baifo” two meters away from the three-point line, and then turned to the right to accelerate two steps to get rid of Adelaide.

Ade only has to block Guo Xu from the front. Once Guo Xu accelerates, he cannot follow the defense from the side, and the two are getting farther and farther away.

Gasol withdrew from the penalty area to make up for defense. Guo Xu quickly hit the ball and took a jump. He turned 360 degrees and walked past him, passing the basket to Horford.

Horford leaped in one step and dunked into the ball with his hands empty. 2 to 2.

The home fans applauded warmly, and the two clapped their hands when they returned to defense.

Horford spends most of his time playing on the floor. In fact, his rebounding ability is not bad. He dunked many times during the regular season, including a one-stop dunk in the backcourt and a one-handed dunk past the frontcourt.

Guo Xu attracted supplementary defense, and his teammates could easily get a dunk performance opportunity, but now there is a lack of flying inside the team, and the Lakers cannot become an “open city.”

On the live broadcast of TNT radio, the commentator Kenny Smith laughed: “It’s still very relaxed in the face of the strong enemy Spurs, Jason, and I played as soon as the opening. This time, I should be selected for the five best goals of the day.”

Guest O’Neal said: “I think the suspense is that he will use a few games to eliminate the Spurs, the Lakers must be promoted. His team has not missed the division final yet.”

After the Spurs attacked, Parker and Gasol made a breakthrough after changing to a pick-and-roll. They moved into the three-point line and were blocked by Guo Xu. Guo Xu can put Parker to make a three-pointer, he wants to easily hit the ball and break through the door.

Since 2012, Parker’s shooting percentage has been very stable. This season he also has a 41.5% three-point percentage, but he can only average 0.4.

Guo Xu doesn’t need to change inside teammates. This is the key to the Lakers’ defense. The Spurs can’t use the pick-and-roll to create obvious misplacement opportunities. Most of Parker’s breakthroughs are scoring after the pick-and-roll, and he is the most scoring point guard in active service.

Guo Xu is the nemesis of Parker’s type of defender. When Parker was at the peak, Guo Xu could not be forced, and now it is no better. After being close to the body, he can only dribble the ball backwards and sideways to open space to his teammates.

Gasol cut away, midfielder leaned back to Horford to catch the ball and dribble, turned to the right and hooked to score. 2 to 4.

The Spurs successfully played out, Horford suffered a height and wingspan loss, and Nurkic was led out of the basket by Ade. Ade can never be short. He is a perfect shot in the open space. Like Horford, he is a small prince in the inside.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu was scored outside the three-point line, Horford held the ball high, waiting for Guo Xu to pass the ball to the right bottom line.

The Spurs didn’t make a double-check this time. Booker’s three-pointer in the first round of the playoffs was very accurate. He averaged 50% from the field and made 2.5 three-pointers.

Popovich was afraid that it would be harder for the rookie to be confident when he was short. He was prepared to relax his defense against Booker in the second half, which was a test for the rookie’s mentality.

Parker chased out, Guo Xu took it to 50 degrees and pulled it away, taking a step forward with the crotch dribble. Parker didn’t eat the first two fake moves, Guo Xu did the crotch dribble with the third action, the left hand held the ball slightly A meal.

Parker thought he would dribble the crotch, his body moved a little to the left, he was finished with a little move, Guo Xu left the ball and moved to accelerate towards the middle of the road, the body leaned on Parker and stopped with a right hand to throw, avoiding the Paso The defender blocked the ball and scored. 4 to 4.

Barkley said: “The Spurs want to win today, but it’s definitely not possible to rely on Parker to defend alone. If they don’t want Jason to score more than 60 points, it’s better to get a package early.”

Smith said: “Jason is very active in the regular season, because he knows he shoots a lot, he doesn’t pass a lot, and his teammates rarely shoot. Now, by including him, the Lakers’ triangle offense is likely to open. Role players The Lakers are invincible as soon as they play. “

Popovich thought so. He sacrificed Parker in the last round to prevent other people from fighting with the Pelicans. The effect was very good. Stars often play super data against the Spurs, which is a problem they have had since 1998.

Popovich asked to prevent Guo Xu’s three-pointer as much as possible, allowing him to make a one-on-one breakthrough. He can break into the inside and can defend.

The Spurs don’t expect Parker to break through. Parker passed the ball to Leonard after halftime, the latter is not suitable for pick-and-roll, the shoulder is particularly wide and looks like Artest.

Leonard took the ball on the left and passed it to the low-ranked Ader, who singled Nurkic, withdrew and turned and hit a jumper. 4 to 6.

In today’s era of efficiency, mid-range turnaround jumpers are rarely used in the NBA’s best scorers. Even Kobe started to make three-pointers, averaging 7.1 shots per game, and combined with low shots and midrange shots.

But Adelaide is still persevering, just like the last defender in the dystopian desert, turning the “worst shot choice” in basketball into a powerful trick ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Most of his shots come from outside the three-second zone on the left, and Nurkic is clearly at a disadvantage against him. This is the biggest weakness of the Lakers defensive end, Nurkic is not suitable to defend against Gasol, it is difficult to change the defender when encountering a screen.

Kupchak had wanted to trade Nurkic during the season and used him as a bargaining chip for someone who could prevent pick-and-roll. Guo Xu suggested that it would be cheaper to change Tucker before the manager let him stay in the team.

This summer Kupchak will trade Nurkic for a defensive big man. As long as the center has a good defense, they will never lose to the Spurs and Warriors twice in the regular season.

Guo Xu faced the ball before the three-point line. He glanced at Booker, his body slightly stunned, and suddenly started in the right position, passing through the gap between Parker and Leonard.

This time Nurkic didn’t come out to cover, Horford pulled away, Guo Xu speeded up and passed two people, and the right side easily entered the basketball. This was a civilian layup, Gasol followed Nurkic on the other side, unable to make up the defense. 6 to 6.

The Spurs attacked and Parker passed the ball after halftime. Green catches the ball by covering the running position, he gets rid of Booker but he is not sure about the feel, and the right jumper hits the iron …
