这场对阵恐怕是playoff 1st round的亮点。没有人认为胡人会走这莫远。比赛精彩纷呈,让我们这些球迷大饱眼福。
无疑,太阳比胡人要强一些,they have better roaster and deep bench. Everyone who comes out the bench can play. 胡人是一支年轻的队伍,they are young, less talented and inexperienced. The reason that lakers can reach game 7 is way obvious, it is because of the best player in the league Kobe and one of greatest coaches zen master Phil. Speaking of kobe, I don't care how much criticism others tried to put on him, he is the best of the best. His amazing plays make us watching and loving the games. He is the king. Anyone who is trying to bash him is ridiculous.
The playoff is about matchup, adjustment and ????ution. Certainly, Phil is the master of the game with a lot of experience. He strategized the game plan which is called "insider man" from a movie with same title. It seems everyone knows to pound inside when playing with Suns, what makes Phil stand out from the crowd is that he engineered the ????ution. The lakers ????uted the game plan very well in first 4 game.
What happened in game 5 and 6 is adjustment from Suns. They were agaist the wall and tried to make neccessary adjustment to come back. The changes were that they double-teamed Kobe or Lamar whenever one of them had the ball and packed the line on defense end as well as they used pick N roll to create mismatch on the offense end. That being said, it paid off. The double-team forced more turnovers which resulted a lot of fast-break points. The mismatch from pick N roll resulted a lot of easy open shots or easy baskets. I doubted that Phil didn't realize the changes, but the ????ution from Lakers was poor. They were uninspired,unenergetic,and lack of intensity. Kwame was bothered with pending investigation. Parker wasn't focused.
太阳的5/6场调整,加上胡人的松懈,促使胡人丧失了应该晋级的良机.不过,还有一线机会,关键是胡人能战术上调整,调整心态,打好最后一场比赛.像其他兄弟说的,两强相遇,勇者胜.
下面是一些看法:
1.坚决slow down the game。要坚持控制比赛节奏,playing half court set and pounding inside.矿米,喇嘛要坚决打内线,可比要多大篮下。尽管,裁判不是give every call on every foul, but keeping attacking rim will force them to foul and take them out of rhythm.
2.Cut down TOs and easy fouls. Playing a little bit smarter. Sharing the ball a bit better. Suns have 20%-25% from free throws and another 20% from turn over points, that is not acceptable.
3.Switching adjustment on pick N roll. I think lakers should put Kobe/Deveon on Diaw on pick N roll. Actually that might open another mismatch somewhere, but at least it will take off some easy baskets.
4.Perimeter defense. 3 points counts about 25% to 30% of their total points. It is creating momentum for them especially on critical moment. It has been killing lakers. If lakers can do a better job on perimeter defense to force them to go 2 points,that would definitely change the landscape of the game.
5.Keeping the head up. Lakers won 3 games even one game on the road. It is possible to beat the suns. Lakers need to get themselves together and put everything behind. Game 7 is a brand new game, it starts from zero. Since lakers is perceived as underdog, then they should play with any worries and concern.
Kobe is da man. I believe in him. Let's get show going, WHAT'S UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
