Smarsh Parker received the ball and brought it to the three-point line, and passed the ball to Kobe without observing the defensive position of the Suns players.

From this point alone, we can see that the Lakers' offensive system does not require a point guard, and it has never been needed. The point guard usually passes the ball in the middle of the game, and then waits for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot and defend.

Payton, who is used to being a core, naturally cannot integrate into the Lakers system. He was in no state in the playoffs in 2004 and could not find the rhythm of playing.

The Lakers indirectly helped the Suns. If they hadn't let Payton see his decline clearly and were willing to retreat to the second line, Payton would not have joined the Suns at all, and would not have accepted it and became a substitute who only played 10 minutes.

Kobe took the ball under Odom's cover and changed direction to the left. This side is the weak side. The Suns' defensive tactic is to watch people.

The players all pulled away, only Kobe and Bogut were on one side, and then Kobe was depressed to find that Bogut actually wanted the ball with his back 45 degrees in the penalty area.

As long as Bogut stands in this position, Kobe's offensive efficiency can be reduced, because Kobe's efficiency is very high in both the frame and the back body at 45 degrees. He can turn around and jump shot back, and can hold the ball and change direction to make a layup at the bottom line.

Moreover, Varaijo, who is on the top defense, is behind Bogut. If Kobe breaks through the bottom line, he will easily be double-teamed by Bell and Valaijo.

Kobe frowned and saw through Bogut's wolf ambition at first sight. No matter how he played, Bogut wanted to force Kobe to pass the ball and use him to make himself easy to score.

Kobe hesitated for a moment, and protected the ball to about 70 degrees. He leaned against Bell and turned around the face frame. He raised the ball with both hands and faxed it, and the ball bounced out of the basket.

Valaicho immediately turned from the top defense to get stuck and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Kobe was depressed. Bogut, a trash, was actually the No. 1 pick, and he couldn't even get into the Suns' playoff roster.

Bogut was also depressed at this time. What I am facing is only the explosive head who can't even enter the playoff roster. You fucked it. I couldn't beat Marcus Cambi in the last game, and can't beat a person on the edge of the Suns today?

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu brought him to the frontcourt to play pick-and-roll with Valaijo in the middle. The Lakers also had a man-to-man tactic, and the person who came out to defend the pick-and-roll was Odom.

Bogut came out to replace the defender, and Guo Xu would definitely break through with the ball. Even if he couldn't pass, he might attract double-teams to pass the needle to the big guy who cut the air. Jackson knew him very well.

The reason for using people to target people at the beginning is that the Suns have many counterattacks and often cannot be placed in the joint defense. The other is that Bogut lacks experience, so the Suns outside players may not know who to defend for two laps.

The disadvantages of the man-to-man tactic are also obvious, and they are prone to weak side and misalignment, because the Suns have the fastest power forward Marion in the league.

Guo Xu attracted Odom to replace the defense and then went to the left, bringing out some space to transfer the ball to Marion in the bottom corner. Bogut stood in the position and moved into the penalty area, but rushed out and interfered slightly. Marion received the ball and made a three-pointer. 3-0.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe waved at Bogut, directing him to pull out to attract defense and give up his position.

Bogut reluctantly came out of the low post to provide Kobe with an unball cover. Kobe received the pass on the right, and Bale chased and defended. Kobe leaned against Bale twice, turned around to the baseline and jumped back to the ball. 3-2.

The home fans applauded Kobe's wonderful goals. The record was poor, Kobe was the only highlight of the Lakers. His singles moves are too similar to Jordan and his posture is picturesque.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with Valecho again, and the weak side attracted Odom to replace the defense, and passed the ball to the bottom line Marion. This time Bogut defended it.

Marion raised the ball with both hands and swung it, and started the change of direction and passed Bogut in one step. In the second step, he completely got rid of it by speed, went deep into the basket, jumped up and turned half and dunked the ball with his right hand. 5 to 2.

This kind of ball will not be considered as Guo Xu's assist, but it is a successful organization. Marion plays Bogut as a misplaced player.

The Lakers attacked, and the ball was passed to Kobe again. He threatened with three frames on the right side, and after exploring the steps, he broke through the bottom line, forced layup caused Bale to foul, making both free throws. 5-4.

The Suns players do not help defend themselves, so they will take care of their own people.

The Suns are still the same. Valaijo pulled from outside the three-point line to play pick-and-roll for Guo Xu. This time Odom went to defend Marion, otherwise Marion might score continuously, which is equivalent to a swingman fighting against the center.

Guo Xu immediately changed his playing style and moved one step to the right and made a quick three-pointer. Bogut was standing near the free throw line, waiting for the defender to break through, and then he could use his height heels to prevent interference.

Many inside players who come out of NCAA like to stand near the penalty area to keep a distance when defending pick-and-roll, mainly to prevent breakthroughs. Because NCAA is a minority of defenders who are good at shooting three-pointers, most of them rely on breakthroughs without shooting range, and even if they have range, they will not make a complete shot.

The best basketball player in the university may be just a marginal person when he is in the NBA, but now Bogut is facing Guo Xu, and his experience in college is definitely not easy to use.

Parker also struggled to chase Guo Xu. He was a tall point guard with a height of 193cm and a weight of 86 kilograms. He was inferior in sensitivity and a small defender. He was blocked by the cover for a second.

This time difference can solve the problem. He made it easy to take action, and the ball was hollowed into the net. 8 to 4.

The Lakers attacked, Parker and Bogut played pick-and-roll, and Guo Xu bypassed the defense from the internal test but did not attack, blocking the breakthrough route.

Parker has enough space and height advantages to take action, and Guo Xu will definitely not be able to cover his emergency stop jump shot. Unfortunately, he lacks confidence and hesitates for a while before choosing to pass the ball to Odom in the middle.

Marion saw the opportunity and rushed out and poked the basketball. He made a single fast break and got rid of Odom by speed, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 10 to 4.

Barkley smiled and said: "The Suns are missing two inside tactics and playing the same as last season. The change is that Marion has increased his moves, and they easily suppressed the Lakers at the beginning."

Smith said: "The huge gap in the No. 1 position is destined to make it difficult for the Lakers to win. Guo Xu started by organizing passes, and he hasn't played by himself."

Barkley praised: "He usually waits for his teammates to fail before he starts a one-on-one fight. He is very selfless, otherwise Parker will have to cry when he faces him. Now there are no defenders in the league who want to defend him."

The Lakers attacked, Parker passed it to Kobe after halftime, and stood on the outside and waited for an opportunity to catch the ball and shoot. His style of play could allow Guo Xu to rest on the defensive end and focus more on the offensive end.

Bogut ran to the lower position on the left again. He had already stuck Valejo and could do the moves comfortably after receiving the ball. Whether he turned to the bottom line and rushed into the basket, turned to the bottom line and shot, or turned to the middle to hook, he was very skilled in his skills.

Compared to physical fitness, Bogut is not the best player of this class, but he has excellent strength and basic skills, and is very efficient when fighting with his teammates. He doesn't think that Valejo, a person on the edge of the Suns, can be much better than Turiav, the first few players in the second round.

Unfortunately, his position was in vain again. Kobe threatened three times after receiving the ball, made a fake fax breakthrough, took a step towards the bottom line, and stopped the jump shot without getting rid of the defense, and missed under Bale's interference.

Valaijo, who is on the top defense, is particularly prone to getting the rebound at this time. He just needs to stick to Bogut. The two weigh about the same weight, so Bogut is not easy to jump from behind.

When he returned to defense, Bogut's expression was dull. He can now fully understand why O'Neal could only shoot 14.1 times and score 21.5 points in the 2003-04 season when the Lakers averaged 36.8 minutes per game.
