Seeing this, Vogel had to take Jordan down.
If Jordan is not replaced, it is estimated that he will be stabbed into a sieve.
After replacing Jordan, Vogel was still unable to replace Howard.
Because the functions of Howard and Jordan are very similar.
If it comes up, the pick-and-roll defense will also become a colander.
So he could only replace Tucker.
In this way, thick eyebrows play at position 5, James plays at 4, Anthony plays at 3, Tucker plays at 2, and Wei Shao plays at 1.
This is playing a five small lineup.
The current five-team lineup of the Lakers is very mobile, and its height is higher than the average five-team lineup.
In this way their defensive mobility is very strong.
It will not be so easy for the Kings to play pick-and-roll.
Of course, Walton is still very talented on offense.
Since the pick-and-roll effect is not good, then play a one-star four-shot system.
After Wang Yi attracts double teams and passes the ball out, there will always be an open space.
The players of the Kings all have three-pointers except Holmes.
Whenever an opportunity presented itself, they almost took it.
In the 4 minutes of the second quarter, the Kings players scored 4 three-pointers.
The point difference has been widened to 13 points.
Vogel looked at these players on the Kings field, and he was envious of his real name.
Since he took over the Lakers, he has been looking for a reliable three-point shooter.
It's been years and I haven't been able to find one.
Even Danny Green, who was once famous for three-pointers, became Tielin after he came to the Lakers.
There is a good saying: James has been looking for a 3D player all his life, but in the end he found that he is the 3D player.
And now the main players of the Kings, except for Holmes, everyone else can shoot three-pointers.
And everyone's three-point shooting rate is above 35%.
If this is given to the Lakers casually, the chances of the Lakers' championship this year will be greatly improved.
However, the NBA has no ifs.
He can only think of a way with the current lineup.
After calling a timeout, he glanced at James.
He wanted to see what James could do at this time.
However, James didn't look at him.
He glanced at the guidance of Rondo Long on the bench next to him.
However, Rondo was also at a loss.
When the opponent's three-point firepower is fully fired, no matter how good the coach is, there is nothing he can do.
The only thing you can do is pray that they don't make it.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Vogel gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He looked around all the players and said firmly, "box1."
Seeing this, all the players looked up and looked at Vogel in surprise.
Some can't believe it.
Box1?
That was a tactic that only elementary school students would use.
And that is when the opponent's core players are super strong, other players are far below the core players, and the outside three-point shooting rate is not high, this tactic will be used.
But now the rest of the Kings have hit more than 35% of their three-pointers.
Using box1 tactics against them, isn't that courting death?
436 Use box1 tactics against Wang Yi
When the Lakers players heard the head coach say "box1 tactics", all the players were very surprised.
"Coach, this... I'm afraid it's not right."
Rondo was the first to stand up against it.
James also shook his head: "The rest of them have such a high three-point shooting rate. Using box1 at this time is to give them points."
Head coach Vogel smiled bitterly and nodded: "I know that. But now they are not using box1, they are still scoring three-pointers, we might as well try using box1. In short, let's use box1 tactics to kill Wang Yi first , so that he can’t score. As for other people shooting three-pointers, let them shoot. We’re betting that their three-point shooting percentage will drop.”
"If they have the ability, they will shoot us with three-pointers. As long as they can't shoot, then we will kill them."
All the players were still a little uneasy when they heard this.
This is gambling.
But apart from this method, they couldn't think of any other effective method.
Wei Shao was the first to stand up: "I agree, I will chase and defend Wang Yi infinitely. The others form a box formation in the penalty area. I try to chase and defend him so that he cannot shoot a three-pointer, and once he breaks through I come into the box and our box surrounds him. He just has to pass the ball out."
Vogel nodded and said to Wei Shao: "In this way, you have to devote all your energy to defense. You may not do much on the offensive end, and you may be criticized by all fans and the media after the game."
Westbrook smiled: "As long as the team can win, I am willing to do anything."
In the end, James and Rondo had no choice but to agree to this tactic.
Ever since, when it appeared again.
When the Kings were attacking, Westbrook doggedly chased and defended Wang Yi. Even if Wang Yi didn't have the ball in his hand, he stuck to Wang Yi like a candy.
