The defense arranged by George Karl against the Lakers' starting lineup is very layered.
First of all, it is the consumption of confrontation. Although McIlvay cannot guard O'Neal, his strength in the summer is not in vain. He can have an impact on O'Neal in the confrontation. How much is how much? Payton is against Kenny Anderson, Kemp on Zhang Hao and Jose Hawkins on Doug Christie are also exerting confrontation and influencing each other.
Then came the flanking attack, the flanking attack on O'Neal, and there was no mention of letting Zhang Hao run to catch the ball and shoot. On the contrary, every time Zhang Hao used the pick-and-roll or reverse running to get an open space, the rest of the Sonics team immediately covered it. And deliberately exposed one of Kenny Anderson and Doug Christie's open shooting opportunities.
At this time, if Zhang Hao receives the ball, passing the ball is actually the best option in theory, and it also gives O'Neal other opportunities to pass the ball except for George Lynch who cuts in and directly attacks the frame.
George Karl didn¡¯t want to lock down the Lakers¡¯ offense. He just wanted the Lakers to pass the ball more, defend key points, prioritize secondary points, and do so when the confrontation is sufficient.
If you pass too many passes, it is easy to make mistakes, and there is a very high level of defense against O'Neal first and Zhang Hao second. Even Kenny Anderson and George Karl are willing to let the ball go. Although Kenny Anderson's overall strength is better than Van Exel Strong and a more stable core player, but this year, the Sonics are not as afraid of stray shots as they were two years ago.
But tonight, Zhang Hao was like a man possessed by Van Exel, throwing the ball whenever he had the slightest chance!
As long as he avoids Kemp's defense, even if Jose Hawkins or Payton comes in to make up, he will shoot directly without hesitation. This is definitely a unique style of play.
George Karl didn¡¯t expect this situation at all. Zhang Hao¡¯s style of play can definitely be called unique! It¡¯s even more extreme than in the regular season!
Zhang Hao averaged 21 shots per game in the regular season, second only to Jordan in the league with 23.1 shots per game, and more than Malone, Glenn Rice, and Richmond who averaged 20 shots per game.
Judging from the way the Lakers played in the first round, George Karl believes that by the playoffs, the Silver Fox of the Lakers has had enough of letting the three fat guys paddle in the water, and they should let O'Neal, Barkley, and Magic take the lead. After all, Zhang Hao still has Young, inexperienced in playoffs
But Zhang Hao made George Karl feel the impact of young people and what it means to be fearless!
Zhang Hao really threw it and really scored. There was nothing George Karl could do.
The key is Zhang Hao¡¯s size. Once Kemp is shaken off and everyone else except Schrempf is on defense, if Zhang Hao catches the ball and really wants to throw it, we can only bet on Zhang Hao¡¯s bad touch.
But Zhang Hao¡¯s touch tonight was outstanding! After accepting Kemp's confrontation, he threw it when he had the slightest chance, and he threw it in!
¡¡
Don¡¯t say that George Karl was stunned by Zhang Hao¡¯s shot, the Lakers were almost the same.
Del Harris didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to play like this, but if he made the shot, it was a good shot!
O¡¯Neal started the game with 2 points and 2 assists. He was having a great time. He felt like a magician He turned around and looked at the magician. Yes, he really looked like one!
Although the number of shots was reduced and he was not able to beat the fierce opponent as much as he had imagined before the game, it still felt good. Anyway, O'Neal felt that the cooperation with Zhang Hao was particularly comfortable this time.
As for Zhang Hao
¡°The way the Lakers¡¯ No. 8 high school rookie plays is so cool!¡±
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you make a profit, it's a great choice, it's a good choice, it's a chance to seize every opportunity. As for not making a profit isn't it a success!
Regarding how to partner with O'Neal, Zhang Hao has been thinking about it for a season. The play tonight is one of the plays he has thought about, but there is no good opportunity to try it.
O¡¯Neal was paddling for most of the regular season, but after the All-Star weekend, he was rushing for the scoring title again
It¡¯s not a mistake to play against the Suns in the playoffs. Barkley played so well, and everyone wanted to let Barkley play more. As a result, Barkley was very restrained. When the third game came to the home court of the Suns, Barkley did not continue to beat his old team.
When playing against the SuperSonics, Zhang Hao didn't think about playing like this at first. Hey, when an opportunity arose, he subconsciously played like that. It was really comfortable!
After only playing for 3 and a half minutes, the Silver Foxes did not make any adjustments. The tactical framework was set at the beginning. The players made independent adjustments. That is the player's own business.
¡¡
After returning from the timeout, the Sonics did not make any lineup adjustments.
The SuperSonics attack, ball in the frontcourt.
After receiving Kemp's serve, Payton did not control the ball himself, but passed it to; The Lakers played these five players and continued to strengthen their confrontation after the start of the second half.
George Karl is already prepared, even predicting what changes the Lakers will make, and then counterattacking in a targeted manner.
This is the advantage of the team that takes the initiative in rhythm.
But the Lakers didn't play like that, but continued to grind. It didn't matter how many points they were ahead or behind. Anyway, they couldn't be too far ahead. The SuperSonics also swept the first round and advanced. There were many goals against O'Neal and Barkley. A good defensive strategy has gotten better after entering the high-confrontation stage, but the defensive preparations made by the Lakers are actually not bad. If the Sonics want to play a team offense, they can defend very well. Now they are facing off. Yes, he also did a good job of defending against Seattle's star offense.
What makes the game even more uncomfortable at this time is the SuperSonics team, which is well prepared to deal with the Lakers' changes!
After the confrontation started, Kemp got inside and was flanked. Fortunately, Payton and Schrempf, who came on in the second half of the third quarter, were able to play well on the outside. Their efficiency was lowered by the high confrontation, but they were still able to compete with him. The Lakers contended.
The SuperSonics have been waiting for the Lakers to change their rhythm after taking the initiative, but the Lakers did not Even if they gave up the opportunity to take the lead, the Lakers did not adjust their style of play after three timeouts and insisted on playing like this.
During each timeout, Barkley, Kenny Anderson, O'Neal, and Brian Shaw were all ready to hear the signal from the coaching staff to launch an attack, but none
After three quarters, the Lakers and SuperSonics tied at 74 to 75. In this quarter, the Lakers only scored 18 points, but the SuperSonics only scored 17 points!
??It¡¯s okay to play like this After entering the inter-quarter break, seeing that this quarter clenched the score and narrowed the point difference by one point, the Lakers players can also accept this style of play.
It¡¯s a very aggressive iron-blooded style of play, but as long as you can win in the end, it¡¯s a good style of play.
However, the Lakers players still underestimated the radicalness of the "head coach".
During the break, the tactics deployed by Del Harris made both Barkley and O'Neal curse.
Butthinking of that scene, both of them felt goosebumps rising!
Dry!
You must do that!
