Chapter 54 New tactics are created! Triangle attack!

Zheng Long wanted to say, you are indeed dazzled, I am not a Maibutan, I am a red scarf.

But Old Winter walked towards Butler tremblingly. The scene was very happy, the players winked at Butler, except for Butler who looked embarrassed.

Zheng Long seriously doubted whether the dim-sighted old Winter could understand the triangle offensive tactic.

Within a few minutes, Old Winter conquered every player present with his professional knowledge and detailed explanation.

His articulation is somewhat unclear, but whenever he gets to the key points, he can always use the simplest and clearest expressions.

After all, this is something that has been with him for most of his life.

The players were divided into a starting team and a substitute team for practice. Butler and Jokic quickly adapted and mastered certain tricks.

As for Zheng Long? He already has the muscle memory of the triangle offense in his bones.

After a morning of training, initial results have been achieved, and the players have basically mastered the core of this tactic.

Next, we need to continuously strengthen tacit understanding and practice through actual combat.

"This group of kids is really good. Their golf IQ is very high, no less than Kobe and the others."

"I can imagine that you must have put a lot of effort behind the scenes to guide me."

"You are an excellent head coach, Mr. Walton. No wonder you can lead the team to seven consecutive victories."

Old Winter was full of praise, and he also praised Wharton. Wharton could hardly hold back his lips.

"No, no, you've given me too much praise. It's all because of your good teaching! I barely did anything, and they won the game."

"Hahaha, you are the most humble head coach I have ever seen, Mr. Walton. It's a pity that I am old and have no chance to work with you."

For several days, the players have been training hard on this offensive tactical system and can't wait to use it.

The opportunity came quickly, and on November 24th, they had the opportunity to face the Utah Jazz at home.

At the end of the last century, the Jazz once dominated the Western Conference. Relying on the "Utah Twins" and the Bulls, they met in the Finals twice and retained the honor of being the NBA's annual runner-up.

James: When did being the overall runner-up count as an honor?

Ma Long: If you say anything again, I will elbow you!

After the engine duo left the Jazz, they relied on Deron Williams, the No. 3 overall pick in 2005, to struggle to maintain a spot in the playoffs.

Then the team chose to enter a reconstruction period in 2010. This reconstruction period was a bit long.

The Jazz have not made the playoffs for five consecutive seasons.

Such a weak team can serve as a whetstone for the current Lakers' triangle tactics.

Before the game, some Lakers fans had already shouted slogans for eight consecutive victories.

As a result, the Lakers stumbled in the first quarter and were actually 5 points behind the Jazz. "Eagle King" Joe Johnson was burning his last light with the Jazz and suddenly broke out, scoring 19 points in a single quarter.

The Lakers, on the other hand, practiced the triangle offensive tactic in the offensive round without any hurry. Perfect training is one thing, but actual combat is another.

On the contrary, the team's offensive efficiency dropped sharply.

When players encounter one-on-one marking, it is even more challenging for players to find suitable passing opportunities and timings.

When Jazz coach Quin Snyder saw the clues and discovered that the Lakers regarded the Jazz as a "soft persimmon" and wanted to use it to hone their tactics, he became furious and used his biggest words during the timeout.

The voice inspires the players.

Usually, we call this situation impotent rage.

Fortunately, the Jazz players are also hungry for victory.

In the second quarter, the Jazz exploded with more people. Qiao Xie was forced to play alone, but Ingles scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 15 points. Hai Gonggong also scored 3 three-pointers.

, scored 9 points, and the two helped the Jazz continue to maintain their lead.

During the halftime break, Walton was so anxious that he was sweating and called on his players to stop training on triangle offense tactics and find a way to win the ball first.

Walton wanted to shout out the words he often said in the locker room, "Give the ball to Zheng Long and that's it."

But this will damage his image in front of new players.

This head coach seems to have nothing.

Fortunately, Zheng Long and Butler showed off their strength one after another, taking turns in singles, stabilizing the situation and helping the team tie the score in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers not only stabilized the situation, but also gradually expanded the score, but no one on the Jazz could stand up.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Lakers easily defeated the Utah Jazz with a score of 110:101.

This is today's Jazz team. Without real stars as a backing support, when faced with difficulties, they fell apart in an instant.

This is also a microcosm of the Jazz team in the next few years.

Even if they finish first in the league, you hope your home team can meet them in the playoffs.

Because they are a typical example of someone who can win in the regular season but can't handle it in the playoffs.

Lakers fans excitedly celebrated the home team's victory at home.

Eight consecutive wins!

With a 100% winning rate, the Lakers are firmly ranked first in the Western Conference!

After the game, a professional reporter saw clearly what the Lakers did on the court today.

The Lakers want to use the triangle offensive system to build a team!

"Yes, that's right, the team is looking for the tactics that best suit the current lineup."

Wharton admitted this graciously.

In the NBA, there is nothing to hide when it comes to tactics, because the results of tactics depend on the performance of the players.

It's like the simplest high pick-and-roll tactic.

If you ask Prince Wiseman to come over, he won't understand, but someone like Bogut can help Curry steadily create an open space for shooting.

Of course, Bogut is already dead, and Wiseman is still killing everyone on the high school team, waiting to enter the NBA as the second overall pick in the future.

Nowadays, the Lakers have long become the object of study by all teams. The new tactics displayed by the Lakers have aroused the vigilance of all Western Conference teams.

The triangle tactic is a complicated thing for fans to talk about, but it is a required course for every head coach.

However, the reason why no team adopts the triangle tactic is that this offensive system requires too high a player's golf IQ and strong personal abilities.

Everyone must be able to hit and pass.

And for a team like the Warriors, which has two historical three-point shooters, three-pointers and inside tactics are their mainstream offensive methods, which are not only more suitable, but also more efficient.

Tactics are not the key to why other teams fear the Lakers.

The key is that they are worried that Zheng Long, Butler and Jokic will show the dominance of the Bulls' Iron Triangle after perfectly adapting to the tactics.

Now, no one dares to ignore the Lakers.

On November 25, the Lakers once again welcomed their old rival, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Although this is a back-to-back game and an away game, the arena is still at the Staples Center.

During the Lakers' Eastern Conference, the Los Angeles Clippers were killing everyone in the Western Conference.

Although they lost to the Lakers in the first game of the season, they won 5 of the next 6 games.

The reversal of Los Angeles' intercity war has once again ignited this city.

The Lakers have proved through eight consecutive victories that the old king of Los Angeles is back!

Under the packaging of the media, the Los Angeles Clippers transformed into the vassal king who failed in the rebellion and made a comeback!

Staples Arena.

Live broadcast across America!

This time, loudmouth Kenny Smith started his prediction again before the game.

"The Lakers' eight-game winning streak seems unstoppable, but don't forget, they haven't faced a truly strong team yet."

"Obviously, the Clippers, who have been tempered since the start of the game, are completely different from the teams the Lakers encountered before."

"Are they going to end the Lakers' winning streak? I don't know, but it's very possible."

This caused dissatisfaction among the audience.

Kenny alluded to the Lakers' road trip in the East without facing a truly strong team.

Will this tough-talking guy kill him if he firmly shouts "Lakers championship"?

That's certainly true for Kenny.

He also has his own little Jiujiu. Zheng Long is so much like that man. After Jordan retired, Kenny won 1994 and 1995 NBA championships with the Rockets.

However, there is always a voice from the outside world that the Rockets were lucky enough to win two championships because Jordan was not around. This statement made Kenny feel like a stick in his throat.
