Chapter 13 He Just Wants To Win(1/2)
When Andrew Bynum claimed he was injured and stopped fighting.
At that time, everyone felt that the Lakers would become vulnerable without this inside barrier.
The Lakers' established tactics will become useless without the core of the perimeter and the penalty area.
However, an accident happened.
When Derrick Rose assisted Kyle Korver, he hit a 3-pointer to stabilize the situation.
After the Lakers resumed serving, they showed an uncharacteristic offensive rhythm.
"run!"
When Fanci received the serve from Odom, he immediately roared and took the lead in charging forward. His figure was like lightning...very fast. When he accelerated in a straight line, he felt even more powerful than Rose.
.
Under his leadership, the Lakers players subconsciously speeded up and followed suit.
Just when everyone thought that Fanci might use his extraordinary speed to complete a layup, Fanci made an unexpected move. When he attracted Ross and Luol Deng to attack, he quickly passed the basketball to
Matt Barnes follows up from one side.
There is no defense in front of Barnes.
Moreover, he once played for the Suns and Warriors, and the conditioned reflex of fast attack is engraved in his soul.
He received the pass and went straight into the penalty area and smashed the basketball into the basket with one hand!
boom!
The snapping sound was like thunder.
The whole attack was smooth and flowing, like mercury pouring down the ground.
It only took Fan Xi less than 6 seconds from launching the attack to completing the assist.
Old Winter looked surprised. He looked at Phil Jackson next to him. Phil Jackson also looked back in surprise: "Did you arrange a run and gun just now?"
"No." Old Winter muttered to himself. He said, "I said let Jack watch the fight by himself and pay attention to the rhythm."
When Phil Jackson heard this, he clapped his hands.
The joy on his face could no longer be hidden.
Genius! Genius! Fortune comes from heaven!
The whole world thinks that Phil Jackson's triangle offense does not need a point guard, but only Phil Jackson himself knows how much he likes those smart point guards.
The run-and-gun tactic can be said to be a tactic supported by the point guard's personal tactical qualities. It requires very, very high basketball IQ of the point guard.
Because it requires the point guard to quickly find an open teammate and pass the basketball to him in an extremely fast time.
Looking at the league today, there are many teams that play fast breaks. But this is the only one that can turn fast breaks into an art like the Phoenix Suns did before.
Why? Stephen Nash has a high basketball IQ.
Moreover, he is fast, passes the ball in a timely manner, and most importantly... he has the ability to shoot three-pointers.
The Fan Xi in front of him is also very fast, can pass the ball in a timely manner, and most importantly, he also has the ability to shoot three-pointers.
In other words, the absence of Andrew Bynum has removed a burden for him, allowing him to fully unleash his talents.
"Wonderful!"
Phil Jackson clapped his hands and laughed.
He is a Zen practitioner and he believes in fate.
Tonight...first Steve Blake was unable to play, and then neither Shannon Brown nor Derek Fisher could stop Rose.
In the last round, Bynum took the initiative to not play.
Isn’t this a stage arranged by God himself for Fan Xi? Isn’t this the stage God has arranged for Fan Xi to shine tonight?
Phil Jackson had a bold idea in his heart. Even when the idea came up, he was shocked: Could it be that Jack Fan is the one and only chosen one?
In an instant, he concentrated on Fan Xi with great concentration.
Kobe Bryant was even more excited. He even stood up and cheered for Fan Xi loudly.
This scene made Bynum feel disappointed.
He didn't expect that his angry behavior would earn Fan Xi such high recognition from the coaching staff and Kobe.
Isn't it just a fast break?
Bynum pouted.
As a center, he didn't quite understand the extended significance of this ball.
The instigators of this situation, Steve Blake and Shannon Brown, were already at war with each other. They were very depressed and extremely uncomfortable. They wanted to cry!
Especially Steve Blake, who previously played in the Portland Trail Blazers under coach McMillan. During a period when team superstar Brandon Roy and No. 1 pick Greg Oden were injured one after another, the head coach asked him to
Play run-and-gun with All-Star power forward Aldridge.
However, as a point guard, he just couldn't perform well.
He doesn't have that ability.
Playing a run-and-gun game requires the point guard's brain to rotate very quickly, and his brain's CPU cannot keep up. He can only play steadily and attack in position. Once it is too fast, it is easy to overheat.
"Hold on, Brown. I believe it was just a coincidence."
Blake, whose hands were almost shaking, was still comforting Shannon Brown.
The two of them now feel like they are shooting themselves in the foot and trying to warm each other up.
Rose in the frontcourt used a sharp and ferocious change of direction to get past Fanshie's defense. He broke into the paint and completed the attack under Odom's defense.
Rose's personal strength is still very strong.
In terms of talent, Rose is at SSS level at this time. Even if Fan Xi has the speed of peak Iverson, his physical talent is still B level at most. Because in terms of coordination, explosive power, agility, strength, etc.
He is weaker than Rose in all areas of talent.
Therefore...it is inevitable that Rose cannot be defended.
However, less than half a second after Rose scored, Fanci had already launched the next wave of rapid offensive.
He received the basketball from Odom and led the team forward.
At this time, the other four Lakers players Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Ron Artest, and Matt Barnes were all running forward quickly.
The Bulls are also very fast.
They are very mobile, they are good at defensive counterattacks, and of course they also have a set of countermeasures for counterattack defense.
However, Fan Xi was faster than they imagined.
He quickly rushed to the frontcourt, without even stopping, directly playing a pick-and-roll with Pau Gasol who ran to the top of the three-point line, and quickly cut into the penalty area.
Under Joakim Noah's switch, he feinted a shot, looked back at the moon, and passed the basketball to Pau Gasol who followed up.
Gasol caught the ball and shot a jump shot... Wow!
Beautiful V-shaped pick and roll, classic Nash Stoudemire reactor.
"nice shot!"
The Zen master applauded from the bench.
Kobe stood up again.
Although Kobe is not a run-and-gun player, he is used to playing in isolation. However, this does not prevent him from supporting Fancy and Pau Gasol to develop a wonderful chemical reaction.
Gasol is also a very mobile forward, he can even hold the ball on a fast break.
The same goes for Lamar Odom.
If the three of them establish a truly fast connection, then... Kobe, who is already past his prime, will be able to get more rotation time to rest in the regular season, which will be a structural improvement to the Lakers' overall strength.
When the championship teams saw this scene, they had to scream.
In the box, Lakers general manager Kupchak was shouting excitedly one second, and the next second he clapped his hands and said sadly to Jim Buss, the team's young owner: "It's over! You have to at least show what you can do to sign Jack.
Lottery rookie’s contract.”
Jim Bass was stunned and asked: "Really?"
"Yes, if we don't sign, other teams will rush to sign," Kupchak said: "Moreover, we must get his contract settled as soon as possible. Other teams will definitely speed up their search after watching tonight's game.
He. He's a free agent now."
The Lakers general manager is very anxious.
Jim Bass said: Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and ask your assistant to prepare the contract.
To avoid long nights and too many dreams.
But at this time, the TNT commentator who was commentating on this game across the country, former NBA superstar Charles Barkley, was still tough. He said: "This guy is just a little clever, his physical fitness is still very bad. When it comes to the real confrontation game
, he will reveal his true colors. Everyone will be very beautiful for one or two nights, but after the beautiful scenery, there will be a long period of loneliness."
