This round of series between nuggets and Lakers, let’s start with the conclusion:
Nuggets have better known unique lineup and rotation intensity, but there is limited room for adjustment of nuggets;
The Lakers have more variables and depth, and are more likely to be surprised and have a higher upper limit.
1. Basic Disk
What is the core advantage of the Lakers in defense?
Strong eyebrows in the basket under the basket. To break the Lakers defense, you must pull out the heavy eyebrows. The grizzly bear can only be done during some time when the heavy eyebrows are protected against 3J. Warriors can use the downtown-step block and disassembly of curry to try to pull the thick eyebrows to the outside line, and steal the Lakers basket by covering people’s rapid ride. The Nuggets do this more directly than the grizzly bear and warrior. The appointment teacher will participate in tactics on arch top. It is very difficult to take care of the appointment teacher and the back.
Compared with the Terminator behind Warriors stealing (Peyton, Wikins, green), the nuggets of Gordon, PROTONIC, and Brown are bigger, and the average end threat is higher. James’s defense pressure is better than the previous round. Although Murray and PROTONIC are not as big as Curry, the risk of delaying them is very high, after all, yokedge can do more as a cover than any warrior who plays this role. Popper, who participates in relatively few tactics, has strong fixed-point response capability. The two relatively weak attack points of nuggets are Jeff Green and Bronn, but they are likely to meet the heavy eyebrow rest time when the Lakers guard basket is not strong enough.
According to the normal routine defense, the Lakers can’t resist the Nuggets.
On the other hand, Nuggets are not good at defending the Lakers.
The main difficulty of Nuggets defense Lakers is that they can’t hide teachers. They can fix the candidates for heavy eyebrows and James in the first line. Unless they change the first line, it is difficult for nuggets to prevent yokedge from directly matching heavy eyebrows, because except Gordon, nuggets started, others can’t match James.
Yorkich anti-heavy eyebrow singles, mobility disadvantages do not need to talk about. The delayed ball holder is the most commonly used anti-blocking and dismantling strategy for nuggets. Considering that the threat of heavy eyebrows going down is far from the immediate stop and throwing dunbao to hide from the smelly sweat, if jokedge puts up the delayed Lakers defender or James, the pressure of mending heavy eyebrows in the middle road of other positions is too great. If you ask the teacher to stay and retreat, then it is not only difficult to defend against the heavy eyebrows, but also the defense of the Lakers guard to take a look at the ball.
If yokedge does not keep the delay and cannot slow down the Lakers’ gear, the consequences will not only be to throw the ball, but also be convenient for James or Lakers defenders to have a quick impact of RIM, bring more pressure to the teacher’s care basket, thus increasing the risk of foul. James and the Lakers guard entered the paint area and had the ability to connect with the thick eyebrows in a small space, and the thick eyebrows receive the ball threat in this area.
Nuggets have strategies, but they all have drawbacks and may be responded by the Lakers.
Both sides can’t resist each other, which side will be more uncomfortable?
The existence of yokedge will make it difficult for heavy eyebrows to balance the front and back, which is equal to breaking the defense foundation of the Lakers. Although the Lakers are an inner-line double guard basket team, from the first two rounds of the playoffs, James’s guard basket enthusiasm is not stable, and he also needs to control basic disk first and then make advanced contributions. The Nuggets attack is very three-dimensional, space, end, middle distance hard solution ability are the best of the opponents that the Lakers meet at present, it can be said that both inside and outside, the Lakers can not only keep one side, and both sides may not be preserved;
The Nuggets defense Lakers will have a clearer idea-death insurance within three point line. It can be predicted that if the Nuggets are delayed, the strength of closing the bottom corner will be great, and it is likely that the strong and weak sides will shrink, like the sun-proof, and three point line will be missed at all. If the Nuggets do not keep the delay, then the scale of 45 ° contraction and blocking breakthrough will be very large, and try to rely on the strength outside the two groups in the middle road to slow down the ball holder. A dozen of Zhan Mei will also shrink their wings as much as possible so as not to let them get up quickly easily. When necessary, the Nuggets will guard some joint defense. They have a large front-court shape and excellent rebound protection. However, it is likely that after a lot of efforts, the Nuggets still cannot completely limit the Lakers’ attack basket and defend the crash on the night when the Lakers opened three points.
It is difficult to determine which side can’t resist the other side to a more serious extent. Instead of choosing one side, I will choose the Lakers to be more difficult to defend against Nuggets, because the Nuggets defense Lakers at least have a set of strategies to do, and the effect depends on the execution and luck, but it is difficult for the Lakers to defend against Nuggets at the strategic level.
However, if you break it, you will find that most of the advantages of “additional points” are on the Lakers side.
2. Additional points
As we all know, the Lakers have at least two forms:
Three-way + double-Guard form, that is, the commonly used Davis, James, Vanderbilt, Reeves, Russell starting, you can also change Vanderbilt to eight villages. This form emphasizes more defense, defense and forward counterposition capabilities.
Double front court + three guard form, Davis, James, plus three people in Russell, Reeves, Schroeder and Walker. This form emphasizes more on attack and mobility, and does not lose the ability of defense in the back court.
Which form is more suitable for digging gold?
When the Nuggets played against the sun, they showed their ability to use non-space points to attack and assist in defense, forcing Monti to give up okeji and Craig basically, A lot of use of Samet, which was played bad by Murray but attacked better. The Lakers have a much stronger cover than the Sun, have better team handling ability, and have more diverse launching methods. The Sun defense method is directly applied to the anti-Lakers, and the effect may not be consistent. However, it is hard for me to believe that Vanderbilt’s defensive contribution is enough to fill in his damage to the attack. In this case, there have been too many matches to prove.
Another forward, eight villages, will be better than Vanderbilt at least at this point in time. In the past two rounds of series, the three performances of the eight villages were 11 in 21 and 5 in 9. They participated in the basket protection 34 times and succeeded 15 times, and the success rate of the basket protection was not low. No matter what is the wind rating of the eight villages under the large sample, so far in the playoffs, he is in line with such a rating:
He has the ability to punish dislocation, three points, and a large-sized forward with co-defense.
These features are complete and are simply the best playoff puzzles. Take him up and open the space. It looks like a good arrangement for Xiao PROTONIC.
The comparison and choice between Fan Debiao and the eight villages is not fresh, nor is it the point. Ham knows it in his mind.
The key is that the Lakers will definitely move some “spending their minds” with a large lineup “.
First of all, will the Lakers try to do some relieve a garrison?
For example, Fan Debiao and thick eyebrows, is there a possibility of relieve a garrison muryokic blocking and dismantling?
It is hard to think that this kind of relieve a garrison is effective. In addition to jokiqi’s low punishment of Fan Debiao, changing Murray to three point line will also weaken the Lakers’ protective basket, the Nuggets punish the Center for pulling out the paint area far more powerful than warriors. The more meaningful relieve a garrison of the Lakers may be that heavy eyebrows/James tried to break the block between jokedge and Gordon. This kind of block took place in a small space, and Gordon’s receive the ball points were usually under the basket, thick eyebrows don’t need to follow out after relieve a garrison, they can help defense on the spot.
Second, will the Lakers try the initial dislocation of the fourth/fifth position?
This must be the counterpoint strategy the Lakers want to achieve most now.
If you have watched the duel between yokeki and enbied at Philadelphia home this season, you should be impressed by the effect of Tucker’s counterposition yokeki and enbider’s defense Gordon taking care of the basket and cutting off the internal connection of the Nuggets. 76 people kept this group of dislocation and won the game.
What is certain is that compared with that calm trip, jokiki is much more brutal in the playoff version. If the Lakers really put a forward in front of him, he will severely destroy the opponent. The first round of the Lakers, James proved that he couldn’t match 3J in the first round of the playoffs. One to two rounds of relieve a garrison were acceptable. From the first round, keeping yokedge was equal to being actively consumed by yokedge. Fan Debiao’s weight is too light, the eight villages are thicker, the defensive skills will be inferior, and basically they will be eaten directly.
If the Lakers took out several big men who were more like the inside, there would be no qualitative change in the effect. Bamba’s resistance may not be able to catch up with the Lakers forward. Yokiki sent him away in 3 minutes, and Gabu could hold on for about 4 minutes. TT is a player with the strongest resistance to the Lakers in front-court theory, but the attack is also the worst.
It is very likely that no matter forecourt player other than a thick eyebrow is used to deal with yokiki, the comprehensive effect of attack and defense is not as good as that of the mind. But if the Lakers do this, I won’t be surprised and don’t think it is meaningless.
In this round of series, each side has a completely irreplaceable player-jokiki and heavy eyebrows, which is called “trump card” here “. Consuming each other’s trump cards and reducing their own trump cards are the thoughts that coaches on both sides will move. The Lakers’ 4/5 dislocation may not be able to see the effect immediately, but it can make others carry 2 more fouls for heavy eyebrows, and the wheel race consumes more calories from yokeki, then you may see the effect later in the game.
Theory is such a theory. What about reality?
Maybe yorkich tore up Ham’s plan in 2 minutes-the probability of this script appearing is not low.
However, the Lakers can really move this mind. On the other hand, the Nuggets can’t, because the opposition elasticity of the Nuggets in the front court is even worse. PROTONIC can’t be against Zhan Mei, jokiki can’t be against James, only Gordon can be against these two positions, this locked yokeki to the counterposition of the heavy eyebrows. If you want to increase the resilience of front-court counterposition, the Nuggets have to take Jeff Green or Braun to James and liberate Gordon to have a strong eyebrow, that is, only in a few connection segments, the Nuggets can try to keep the dislocation. The Nuggets will not be willing to change the starting line. Compared with the Lakers who are not sure who is the fifth, the top five of the Nuggets-at most the top six-are certain, regardless of their level or playing time, the gap between Green and Braun and the first 5 to 6 people is obvious.
In addition to using the big squad to focus on the opposite position, the Lakers can also set up a three-guard squad. Although there must be a point in the three-guard lineup that is a loss to the height of PROTONIC, PROTONIC is a player who plays without a ball. The potential to increase production is limited. He can punish but cannot punish small-sized indefinitely. On the other hand, PROTONIC defenders who can play and hold the ball will also suffer losses, while nuggets will hate the opening of external single defense, which will further increase the internal defense pressure of teachers.
The lower limit of a fixed 8-person rotation in the playoffs is higher. The head coach can make fewer mistakes without constantly trying different combinations-Nuggets are this kind of team, not the Lakers.
But Ham proved that although there are a lot of variables in the Lakers’ employment, they can be used in most cases. At this time, variable and adjustable become advantages. From the previous playoff, teams with adjustment space tend to take advantage of teams with only one model.
The Nuggets can’t stand accidents more than the Lakers.
Jokiki and heavy eyebrows don’t talk about it. Both sides can’t afford their trump cards to compensate for two unexpected fouls. In the connection segment without jokiki and heavy eyebrows, the performance on both sides is very poor, and it is difficult to tell who can fight. The advantage of the Lakers is that other rotations other than heavy eyebrows can be accepted if there are some problems, while the first six people in the Nuggets rotation are very expensive.
You may ask, what about James? Can the Lakers replace James? No. The problem is that James rarely gets into foul trouble. His ability to control foul is almost the best in the same position, and there are few accidents like continuous downturn in the playoffs.
The Lakers can also change their temper when a puzzle is in poor condition. Whoever plays well today can use it. They can even bear the injury and attrition of non-core players in the series, while the Nuggets obviously cannot.
The Lakers’ routine is also deeper.
We can look at the Lakers’ strong sense of design in the past two rounds of series:
With the warrior’s G1, Hamm had a strong eyebrow for 44 minutes, fighting the warrior to grab seven tiredness, and he tried his best to grab G1 to get the home advantage. This advantage is stuck there, so there is no way for the Warriors who are weak away;
With the Warriors G3, James returned immediately after a short rest in the third quarter, and continued to exert his strength to suppress the warrior’s counterattack momentum almost without rest. Compared with warriors, the Lakers obviously know more about the reason of taking a rest first, and their vigilance is much higher;
With the warrior’s G4, Ham took out the energetic and physical Walker to disrupt the warrior’s defense. The X Factor of the Lakers intruded into this year’s playoffs, which often appeared without any warning at all. The key relieve a garrison of heavy eyebrows, James’s interpretation of warrior tactics at the critical moment was also unexpected;
With the G6 of the Warriors, James, who was low-key in the playoffs, suddenly made efforts to attack the injured Wikins to establish a counterposition advantage, and continued to play the core performance of the whole team. The Lakers suddenly changed another form, and the Warriors were caught off guard again;
In the two-round series, G2, which leads 1-0 away, G5, which leads 3-1, James’s desire to contribute to the defense is lowered, but it will suddenly defend in other games. The G6 home match points are fully ready to grab the start, and the time to impact the opponent’s psychological defense line is just right. The control of the rhythm of the series is full of confidence;
Take the intelligence quotient of Dillon and lure him to explode the grizzly bear;
Wait.
Ham was underestimated. James’s 20 years of experience, the control of the power point is also perfect. It can be expected that the Lakers will do everything possible to consume yokedge on both ends of attack and defense, physically and psychologically. The Lakers have a lot of good players who rotate and can reach freethrow line. These people will queue up to greet the teacher in various positions. The Lakers will like the chattering between yokedge and the referee very much. They will also use express baseline ball and long biography to fight back. Once the Lakers play anti-snowball, it will be difficult for the opponent to survive.
So:
Will yokiki still compete with the referee?
Will the mentality of being arched still explode?
What happened in the park in the past 20 years may not be replicated, but yorkki really needs to find a balance between passionate fighting spirit and peaceful state of mind.
The Nuggets are a slightly superior side, but this may not guarantee that they will win the series. The more flexible Lakers have various scattered advantages, and their upper limit may be higher when the plan is properly executed. They will ask their opponents to be as patient and meticulous as they are and to accumulate those fragmentary advantages before they can pass this level.
All kinds of signs in the past have implications for both possible results. You will have a strong premonition that this will be an extraordinary season for the Lakers, heavy eyebrows and James. They represent some expectations of the League at present and some memorials to the past.
But you will also have a vague feeling that this season has more important historical significance-will it be a handover ceremony?
If yokki finally broke through this level, he would have the opportunity to defeat the eastern team, write the most meaningful chapter for his legend, and also make this era seem to be gradually blurred, finally, I found a king with strength, achievement and stability enough to serve the public.
Whether you can grasp it depends on this round.
Forward-looking expectations: The Nuggets are small and excellent, but the Lakers are hard to beat.
