"damn it!"

Gentry shook his fist hard.

The last thing he wanted to see was Kobe Bryant breaking out.

And now, it is Kobe who stands up for the Lakers to save this team!

Now...the outcome of this game is unknown again!

On the court, everyone in the Suns team also became cautious.

After Steve Nash came to the frontcourt this time, the tactics he played were no longer a pick-and-roll style of simply calling Lin Ri to come up. Kobe's concentration was very high. If they continued to play two-man tactics, the final result would only be to be defeated.

Kobe takes more chances.

Now Steve Nash must get more teammates involved in the offense.

He made a gesture towards Lin Ri, who understood it clearly. When Steve Nash retracted his hand and started dribbling, he quickly moved up to make a screen move.

Still want to play "pick and roll"?

The players on the right side of the Lakers all looked at Kobe at the first time, obviously intending to defend like before. Kobe did not shake his head, and when Steve Nash was dribbling the ball and preparing to pass Lin Ri's screen, they were just like

They pushed towards Steve Nash like that, but what they didn't expect was that when Steve Nash passed by Lin Ri, he gave the ball directly to his hands, and Lin Ri who took the ball directly passed it to him.

The ball was given to Ariza on the weak side, who made a jumper and scored a three-pointer!

At this time he was in an open position.

Artest, who was supposed to be guarding him, followed Fisher and blocked Steve Nash. This block didn't matter, it directly allowed Ariza to appear in the open space.

As a well-known 3D player in the league, Ariza also has a well-known skill that is his open three-point ability.

Especially Lakers fans are much more aware of his three-point shooting ability!

After all, it can be said that Ariza played a lot of credit for the Lakers' success in ascending to the throne last year. Ariza's scoring scenes like the one just now were frequently performed at Staples Center last season.

Half of his nickname "Rattlesnake" comes from his stealing ability, and half comes from his ability to threaten open three-pointers.

If you're not careful, he might give you a bite!

At that time, every shot Ariza made would make the current Lakers fans cheer.

Now, it's still the same picture, except that Ariza's jersey has been changed. In addition, there are no longer huge cheers, but more boos...

Hey~

There was also a low sigh.

The biggest reason for sighing is Ariza's departure.

Originally, Artest's arrival did not make Lakers fans so worried about Ariza's departure, because Ariza's main responsibility in the Lakers system is defense and three-pointers.

In both cases, Artest is actually not bad, and he even has the ability to attack the basket.

Therefore, after just learning that Ariza was leaving and Artest was coming, Lakers fans were not too worried.

Of course, judging from the results, they should actually be worried, because Ariza is the kind of person who "sees that he doesn't do much work, and others can take his place, but when he leaves, he will find out how good he is."

That kind of people!

As the Lakers game progressed, Lakers fans quickly discovered that Artest was not able to adapt to the "triangle tactics."

It can be said that this "triangle tactic" is one of the most complex tactics in this alliance.

It’s not because its tactical composition makes people feel complicated, but because it places very high demands on players’ tactics, including positioning and coordination!

No one noticed this when Ariza was still with the Lakers.

It wasn't until Artest arrived that he still didn't integrate into the team. Now Lakers fans have just discovered how good Ariza is.

What's even more terrible is that Artest's cutting and breakthrough abilities have declined greatly this year. Last year, he forced damage under the basket for the Rockets. After coming to the Lakers, he completely lost his ability.

Can't see it anymore.

At the same time, due to the decline in his breakthrough ability, his shooting ability suddenly became a flaw.

This is especially true when compared with Ariza.

Halfway through this season, some Lakers fans have actually begun to miss Ariza.

This is also very good. When your own life is not satisfactory, it is easy to think about whether your ex is doing well or not.

Once your ex is doing well, you will feel unhappy no matter how you look at your current one!

Ariza is obviously the ex who is doing very well!

So far this season, he has averaged 13.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.

Looking at the data alone, there is no difference from when he was with the Lakers.

But his shooting percentage is as high as 48.3% and his three-point shooting percentage is over 45%.

Since most of his shots are shots, this has made him the "league's top shooter" in the words of many experts. Some experts believe that "the Suns' trade last summer should be S+++" because every trade is so good.

Needless to say, the two choices in the draft are Lin Ri. Although Stephen Curry is quite different from Stephen Curry in terms of style, his cooperation with Lin Ri is becoming more and more proficient. The two of them

He has already played many scoring climaxes as the core on the court, which clearly shows that he is the future core team of the Suns.

These two options are already S-level enough, and then Steve Kerr traded Ariza, which raised the Suns' entire summer operation success coefficient to a level, reaching S++ level, because Ariza and Stephen Curry

Also, Lin Ri's cooperation is obviously very tacit, and there is no bad chemical reaction between them.

In the future, we have the core, the core partners, and the supporting regular main players. This lineup can obviously be used for at least 4 years.

This is the reason why this summer's operation has a high success rate. It is not just a success for one season, but a success for several seasons!

This is the most important!

Ariza has therefore become the "best champion puzzle" that is urgently needed in the market!

Known as the "enhanced version of Eddie House"!

Compared with Eddie House when he signed with the Celtics in 2007, he is much younger... And from this perspective, I have to say one more thing. The Suns snatched Ariza.

I got it at a price lower than the market price!

This has increased the success coefficient of the Suns' entire operation last summer by a "+" sign.

If the Lakers' record this year wasn't bad, I'm afraid the Lakers would have been regarded as a "joke" by now.

Of course, even if there are not so many experts criticizing the Lakers for letting Ariza go, there are many experts who think that signing Artest is not a wise move.

The comparison between Ariza and Artest is so revealing!

Now, because of Ariza's goal that brought the Lakers' deficit back to 13 points, Lakers fans are reminded of Ariza's "predecessor" again!

Ariza could also feel the subtle atmosphere of the scene. After hitting this goal and heading towards his own defense zone, his whole body straightened up slightly.

Although he originally left the Lakers because his agent asked for an unreasonable price without telling him, now that Ariza has left Los Angeles because of this price, he himself feels a little uncomfortable.

Is he really not worth 60 million in 5 years?

As a player, it is inappropriate for him to ask for such a high price, but because of this, you think that I am not sincere to stay, and then you quickly find my replacement. Isn't this excessive?

You know, I just helped you win the championship!

Ariza has had such emotions.

Of course, he also knows very well that his presence in last year's Lakers team was limited to being the main starting player, and that's all. Moreover, before he came to the Lakers, he had already become a wanderer in the league.

This is a rather dangerous signal.

All players who cannot survive in the NBA will first become "bums"!

Ariza came to Los Angeles as a "wanderer" and completed his rebirth here.

The background of the times is enough to take care of it. In 2009, "3D players" became popular in the league. It was also at this time that many team coaches began to realize how valuable having a player like Ariza is to the team.

Lucky.

The first is the defensive end. As a defensive champion, he ensures the team's wings and perimeter.

Then there is the offensive end. He can always be on the court without occupying the ball, and there is no need to worry that he will affect the performance of the core players.

And at certain times, he can also become the end point of tactics and enrich the entire offensive tactics!

In short, the fact that "3D players" have become a necessity is a product of the background of the times, and it is also inevitable.

Because there are too many reasons to use "3D player"!

Ariza's goal reminded the fans at Staples Center of how good Ariza was in the past. Here, Kobe directly held the ball into the paint and caused damage.

Lin Ri fouled and sent Kobe to the free throw line.

In fact, when Kobe rushed into the paint, Lin Ri knew that he would definitely be too late.

But he has only committed one foul so far, and this time it was only two.

In order to prevent Kobe from scoring easily, Lin Ri would rather pay for a foul.

"Get ready to grab the board!"

It can also be seen from his attitude that he did not waver at all because of the foul on Kobe.
To be continued...
