Chapter 552 Adelman's Brilliant Strategies

21-20!

The Lakers lead by one point in a single quarter.

Well, this is a score that is almost indistinguishable. If it weren't for Fisher hitting a super long-range magic ball just after halftime at the last moment, helping the Lakers get 3 points at the buzzer at the last minute, the Lakers would still be in the first place. One quarter behind!

Thanks to Fisher too, the Lakers might have faced the embarrassing record of scoring no more than 20 points in a quarter for the first time this season.

You must know that the Lakers' scoring ability in the first quarter this season ranks first in the league, and they are the team that is best at playing an advantage at the beginning. Even for defensive teams like the Green Army and the Spurs, there is no Jianghu Lakers who can score below 20 points.

But even so, it can't hide the fact that the Lakers' offense was blocked in the first quarter.

The whistle sounded at the end of the quarter, Hot Bar carefully wiped his eyes, and then stared at the scoreboard carefully for two minutes.

It is indeed 21 to 20!

The Lakers actually only scored 21 points. This is a quarter score. Is this really the Lakers who can often score more than 40 points in a single quarter? !

However, if you look closely at the first quarter, you will find that this is really not an accident. In the first quarter, the two sides fought a lot of defensive battles and battles of positions, and they pursued the ultimate defensive strength!

On the Lakers side, Ji Feng played 10 minutes and scored 4 points, 2 assists and 6 rebounds. The six rebounds set Ji Feng's single-quarter rebound record.

It wasn't that Ji Feng was chasing rebounds today, but the number of times the two sides struck iron a lot, and the number of rebounds naturally increased.

"Huhuhu~! It's really possible, no wonder he has won 21 consecutive victories." Ji Feng, who was sitting on the bench, wiped the sweat that was constantly flowing out of his body with a towel. It's really hard to deal with.

And Kobe next door is similar, he and McGrady are completely on the bar today, McGrady is actually defending desperately, which is really very rare.

"The Rockets' tactics today are very interesting." Director Zhang said during the break: "The Rockets did not double-team Ji Feng or Kobe once in the first quarter, but let Shane and McGrady keep going solo defense!"

Director Zhang really deserves to be an old man, and he saw Adelman's path in one section.

That's right!

Adelman today changed the double-team and assist defense tactics that other teams used to play against the Lakers in the past. Today, he is to use Shane Battier and McGrady to do constant single defense and rotation defense!

Adelman's move can be called a different approach. All teams in the league face another problem when they encounter the Lakers. How can they limit Ji Feng and Kobe!

Because the attacking ability of the JK combination is too strong, a person needs at least two people to double-team, but once they are double-teamed, both of them can pass the ball, especially Ji Feng, whose assist ability is the best in the league.

So if you double-team one, you can't double-team the second one. At that time, not only will the double-team not work, but the other person will take off easily. This is the horror of the JK combination.

What's more terrifying is on the defensive end. Kobe won't talk about it. His defensive ability is very strong. The perennial best defensive team is not given for nothing.

And Ji Feng, as the league's steals king this season, and the player who can block the most shots among the perimeter players, with accurate prediction and positioning, he is already capable of Artest's body. He is definitely the defense in the league's No. 3 position Titans.

These two are definitely the best perimeter defensive combination in the league!

So often some teams become when they play the Lakers, the offense is targeted by JK, and the defense cannot target JK.

And then no and then...

In short, a blast hammer is inevitable.

And Adelman is to imitate JK, let McGrady and Shane do single defense!

It's useless to double-team anyway, so I'll just not double-team at all!

Not only do I not double-team on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, I will focus on McGrady and Shane Battier, and let them continue to consume your physical strength on the defensive end!

King to king, admiral!

JK, if you have the ability, each of you will get a few points, then I will admit it if I lose!

I have to say that Adelman is still a very capable coach. His tactics were played out when the Pistons beat the Bulls, famous!

"The Jordan Law!"

And the most embarrassing thing is that the Zen master thought so too!

He also knows who is the core of the Rockets now, so JK was also given such a task by him!

This also explains why the director's camera always catches Adelman and the Zen master often exchange eyes with each other.

That look clearly conveyed a meaning: What a coincidence, big breasted brother!

But forget about the Zen master. He has JK under his command, and he can naturally do so if he is good at guarding. However, many fans will ask, why Adelman!

Why! ?

Naturally, it was with the abilities of Shane and Maddie!

McGrady will not say more, his physical talent is absolutely first-class, with long arms and legs, he only uses his heart to defend, and opens his confused eyes. His defensive ability is still very strong, and his ability is mainly on the offensive end. Contain Kobe Bryant, the two of them face Maimang!

And the key to this tactic is naturally Shane!

As the No. 6 show of the year, a player who belongs to the Grizzlies like Ji Feng, Shane Battier is known as the all-purpose glue on the court, and he can plug almost all the loopholes!

Don't look at Shane's good-natured face, but he has a tough style, is not afraid of physical confrontation, and dares to fight with opponents. Only the data can show it.

In the words of the old coach K, "Battier's leadership, focus on the game and the ability to keep everyone confident at all times is unparalleled."

Battier's offensive ability is not weak and definitely exceeds the average level of the league, but Battier is a player who takes teamwork as his responsibility. Whatever the coach arranges for him on the field, he will unconditionally obey!

So we can see that Anta often acts as a defensive coolie on the court. However, when the team needs him to attack and needs his support, he can wear armor at any time.

The most important thing is that Battier has a super high basketball IQ and a strong psychological quality, which is the complete opposite of Artest. Battier is synonymous with calmness. things you should do.

In a word, Battier is averaging 15 points and 6 rebounds per game at the moment, which is definitely not a soft persimmon!

This is also the reason why Adelman trusts him so much. From the first quarter of the game, Shane Battier did a very good job.

Unexpectedly, Shane will follow Ji Feng for the whole game today!

"Then do it all night!" Ji Feng already knew the Rockets' tactics when he was on the bench, because it was so obvious that in the second quarter, when Ji Feng didn't play, Shane also sat off the court!

And when the two sides were tied 25-25 in 2 minutes, as soon as Ji Feng played, Shane came on immediately!
