Chapter 1317: Taking advantage of the situation
The Lakers and Knicks are the two teams with the largest traffic in the United States. They are located in the two largest ball markets in the United States and are also the top two teams in the NBA in terms of market value.
Since the rise of New York, the showdown between the Lakers and the Knicks has been called the American Derby to distinguish it from the yellow-green battle between the Green Army and the Lakers.
It just so happens that the rise of the Knicks is closely related to the Lakers. The two teams met in the Finals for two consecutive years and played many classic battles. It can be said that the Lakers were witnesses to the rise of the Knicks and also the first victim.
Since then, the two teams have been head-to-head every time they collide, and Zuo Li and Kobe have become another classic rivalry.
However, as the Knicks have become stronger and the Lakers' strength has declined, in recent years, the Knicks have had the absolute upper hand in the showdown with the Lakers.
Since the 08-09 season, the Lakers and the Knicks have played against each other 12 times in the regular season. The Knicks have achieved a record of 9 wins and 3 losses. Two of the losses were in the 08-09 season, which was also the Lakers' championship season. Left his rookie season.
The fledgling Zuo Li was swept by Kobe Bryant. Although his personal performance was very good, the Knicks' overall strength was still at a disadvantage at that time, which also led to the failure of the finals.
Since then, with the leap in Zuo Li's strength and the leap in the Knicks' overall strength, the Lakers have become less and less advantageous. In these years, the Knicks have swept the Lakers for three consecutive years.
In the past two years, as the strength gap between the two teams has increased and Kobe has aged, the attention paid to the games between the two teams has also increased.
After this year, the two teams finally ushered in another peak showdown!
Although it is still a small number, it is more than enough considering the change in Zhao Zhen's playing style, and it also reflects the recent change in the direction of refereeing.
Don't brag!
For that Lakers, Zuo Li's past experience is not useful. In the next life, this season's Lakers will not be completely exhausted waiting for rookies, and Kobe will also be completely in and out of the superstar ranks. Although the popularity is still there, due to the Achilles tendon and A more minor shoulder injury, and his strength has not yet fully evolved, ultimately prompted Kobe to make the decision to enter the game at the beginning of last season.
After the game, looking at the weak and powerful Lakers, Zuo Li had no idea that he might eventually encounter us again this season.
The Lakers were unexpected and focused their attack on the inside.
Riav's No. 7 and 8 positions are very weak, but the Lakers' No. 7 and 8 positions are currently the weakest in the league, especially in terms of offensive power.
"The first round was very dull. Riav did not play in the inside. He was weak on the left side. The Lakers played on both sides. Kobe and Zhao Zhenchun were weak in retreat. This directly tested Riav's defensive ability in the inside." Barkley said.
Behind Zhao Zhenchun, the Lakers can suppress the Cavaliers in everything, which also makes my mentality slowly collapse.
After getting that fact, Stern also launched a counterattack on the board of directors. It can also be seen from the game that Zhao Zhen's average free throws per game in the last seven games has increased from seven at the beginning of the season to seven!
Did Kobe come hard? Long Shao was eight points open!
Therefore, the German coach arranged for the left inside line to attack first, turning his back and dunking hard, and drawing Anthony. It would not be difficult at all.
That's what he makes up for by supporting so many special stars!
Poor Lao Zhan, as a young man who carried forward the tabloid era, suddenly found that he was the weakest team in the world!
Now, although Kobe's strength is still evolving, but he has two more fatal injuries, I still have the ability to change the game. Add in the X factors of Long Shao and Gasol, how strong is the current Lakers? Zhao Zhen You still need to see it for yourself.
As for matters within the league, Zuo Li has just heard nothing about it. During the season, Zuo Li paid too little attention to the facts on the court. Now, I will focus on the Lakers.
The Lakers have assembled the new Big Seven, Kobe, Gasol, and Long. The Knicks are scary enough. Although Jackson has not rested yet, Scott is enough. Under the tactics, we implemented positional warfare and relied on Long. The organization coordinated the coexistence problem of the two small scorers Kobe and Gasol, and at the same time played the role of the Knicks' axis, constantly moving the ball to attack the weak points of the opponent's defense.
Xiao Hua's series of methods proved to be of no use, but he only failed to stop Zhao Zhen's incredible performance, and took a step back to show the value of Zuo Li - in games without Zhao Zhen, the attention was not low, and the fans used it Disgusted, advertisers buy into it!
Standing on the left is not the front line behind the alliance. It should be used as a flag!
嗏
If I still win this season, I know what to do.
The referee had not yet been notified of the focus showdown between the Lakers and Riav.
Lakers: Long Shao, Kobe Bryant, Zhao Zhenchun, Knicks, Anthony Tuan.
But the attention at this time did not allow me to seize the right to speak outside the board of directors again.
Now Western's only regret is not putting the game between Riaf and the Lakers in a prime time like the Christmas game. If so, another classic battle will probably be born in front of me.
That kind of tactics and staffing made us one of the weakest in the league. Even the Big Eight 2.0 that James worked so hard to prepare lost to us.
Bad defense!
jump ball!
It is still Zhao Zhenchun who takes the lead. The weakest point of the Lakers may not be the center position. Before Bynum left, he always found a suitable one. Now Anthony is only fast, and his attack and defense are also at the level of a substitute.
Long Shao dribbles, Kobe and Gasol pick and roll on both sides, Long Shao breaks out, and Zhao Zhenchun beats Iguodala back in singles!
As he retreated, he was blocked by Zuo Li. He was forced to score the ball again. Zhao Zhenchun received the ball from the wing and was interfered by guard Li. Zuo Li collected the rebound.
"If there is a mistake, which team can limit the opponent's weaknesses and then exploit their own weaknesses will be the key to this game." Kenny Smith said.
That may not be Long Shao's shortcoming. He is too good at retreating, and eight points is even more outrageous. His 20% shooting rate next season is basically useless.
There is investment!
Before Zuo Li succeeded in another single, he quickly returned to defense. Long Shao encountered a small delay while dribbling. Then, Kobe received the ball and was quickly double-teamed!
It was Riaf who took the lead.
Leave everything to the players themselves!
...
Considering that I am 26 years old and my peak period is not 4-6 years away at most, my future achievements are limited.
"Young Master Long, eight points...that's OK!" Barkley smiled.
Mr. Long, who was holding the ball, observed it for a while and saw that Kuwai didn't think about it at all. Everyone else was warned that it was a bad ball, so he suddenly missed it without even thinking about it!
For Iguodala, Gasol is currently more difficult to guard than James. Gasol's shooting ability at this time is indeed excellent.
Ryaf: Kuwai, Clay, Iguodala, Wei Li, Zhao Zhen.
And the attention of the Cavaliers is absolutely great. The game between Riaf and the Lakers at home has ended, and all the statistics have surpassed the opening game of Riaf against the Cavaliers. If it is unexpected, that game will create a new record. Viewing record for this season.
