火箭109-117湖人 , 湖人把系列賽追平!
第一節為什麼火箭會嚴重落後? 因為Westbrook積極出手不進,積極傳球造成失誤,讓湖人打出節奏,落後16分。
第三節如何追回來的? Westbrook只往禁區鑽,認真抓籃板,還有在板凳上加油。火箭把落後22分追回反倒領先5分。在第三節結束前進攻犯規,5犯。
第四節火箭如何落後? 火箭教練團再次把Westbrook放到場上。湖人放心包夾Harden還有其他人,放Westbrook投超級空檔大三分肉包,還有當他切入時擋他傳球路線。加上已經五犯,防守端湖人利用火箭換防隊對位對上Westbrook. Westbrook不想犯滿,無法積極防守。對手吃免錢。比數就這樣拉開。
Give Lakers credits. 他們落後以後沒有放棄,抓緊了Westbrook送上門的機會狂打猛打。火箭本來就不是擅長打第四節關門,再加上一個烙賽Westbrook, 教練沒有那個LP在需要追分時換上今天表現極佳的D.House (13 pt, 5/10 FG), 輸了活該。
Final stats line: Westbrook
32 min, 10 pt, 4/15 FG, 1/7 3pt, 13 rb, 4 ast, 7 TO, -14.
其他先發 +/- 全部都是正的。PJ Tucker還+18.
恭喜湖人!

火箭 92 – 90 湖人 End of 3Q
湖人最不願意看到的事情發生了: Westbrook稍稍冷靜,保持對於禁區積極,但是減少了外線出手。D’Antoni也把球的決定權交給Harden, 大量了降低火箭的失誤。火箭打5-out收到了效果,第三節狂下三分雨,把21分落後追到一度領先5分。
原本上半場燙到不行的湖人下半場也冷卻了一點。湖人利用 “delay double” 包夾 AD 和 LBJ ,在他們看起來要發動攻擊,開始運球切入的那時刻包,收到了極佳的效果。LBJ和AD離籃框越來越遠,命中率也隨之下降。對於Rondo, 火箭擺出 “Lu Dort” 防守陣容,完全放他投。
Good defense turns into good offense. Good offense gives you aggressive defense. 在這節很明顯可以在火箭與湖人身上看到強烈的對比。
第三節結束前Westbrook 進攻犯規領到第五犯。D’Antoni繼續把他留在場上。這個五犯對於火箭來說是個問題還是隱藏的祝福 (blessing in disguise)?

火箭51-67湖人 半場
第二節火箭終於把螺絲鎖緊了。但是兩位無法控制只是正常能量傷害的選手怎麼辦?
Westbrook: 1/8, 2 pt, 4 TO, -20
Rivers: 0/2, 2 TO, -18
在這兩個火箭都不在場上時,火箭用標記的三分雨把20分以上的差距拉到只剩下個位數。然後Westbrook換下今天狀況奇佳的D.House Jr. (11 pt),所有的努力立刻在他所有的失誤和打鐵 (有的還肉包) 消失。
火箭小人物最害怕的噩夢莫過如此。無解。

火箭 20 – 36 湖人 End of 1Q
湖人的積極度和能量和G1差太多了。他們利用非常快的節奏和短傳,讓火箭的防守一直沒進入”防守的節奏”,看起來一直在追逐湖人跑。而且今天也有積極往籃板衝,抓到一些第二次機會。
相反的,Harden主導的進攻節奏沒有像G1那樣的快速,反而很多慢慢散步過半場讓湖人防守setup的情況。雖然火箭還是有做出非常多次三分球,但是切入後傳球的習性實在太好預測,被已經setup好的湖人防守非常多次,第一節就已經5次失誤。
最後就是Rondo的穿針引線,在第一節已經送出6次助攻 (Morris 4/4三分),加上防守端 “站在正確的位置攔截球” 就有三次抄截。
明顯的火箭的進攻已經完全落入湖人的防守計畫中,第二節看D’Antoni如何調整。
#至少不要散步好嗎

湖人火箭第二戰。
火箭第一場的亮點絕對是 Westbrook帶給火箭防守端的能量,九個籃板全隊最高,還有+15的+/-值。雖然命中率跟失誤還是很不理想,但是對於才剛結束跟雷霆鑿戰七場的火箭隊來說,Westbrook提供的能量絕對是第一場能贏過湖人的關鍵。另一個值得關注的是對 Anthony Davis的防守,火箭基本上在面對 AD的 post-up或 iso的策略是保持絕對不包夾,讓任何跟 AD對位的球員(主要是 P.J Tucker),在 AD拿到球之前就透過站前防守、推擠他的位置不要讓 AD在他喜歡的位置拿球,或者逼他用他最沒效率的低位單打(0.9 ppp in regular season)得分。而目前這樣的策略奏效的原因是這樣的一對一低位單打會讓湖人的半場進攻變得呆滯,沒有人空切,沒有弱邊掩護,只要火箭不幫忙不包夾,其他人就不會有空檔。
湖人第一場暴露出來的幾個問題則是,第一,進攻時的活球失誤(live ball turnover)太多,第一場湖人的 17次失誤裡總共有 13次活球失誤,意思就是直接多給了 13次火箭快供或早攻的機會,而火箭也透過這 13次拿下了 27分!!!第二是,上半場讓 Harden罰了 11球。雖然下半場 Harden只罰了一球,但是上半場這 11球大概就是上半場分數的差距。第三是,Kuzma得要提升他的防守專注度或賽前準備,他在這個系列賽得要守 Harden, Westbrook跟 Gordon,三個都絕對是不好守而且需要不同策略的球員,但是 Kuzma第一場有太多直接在 open court或從三分線直接被切過的畫面,這樣間接造成的局部多打少就會更暴露湖人內線長人補防速度較慢的弱點。第四是 AD只罰了四球。這當然要歸功給火箭的防守逼 AD選擇跳投出手或者干擾但是不犯規,但是 AD一定要能夠在更好更深的位置拿到球,或者用自己的能力更接近籃筐出手,才有可能造成火箭防守上的壓力,逼火箭要幫忙或者內縮,而罰球數是一個指標。第五,11-38的三分球是幫不了 LBJ跟 AD的。

Brandon Jennings was shut out in the first quarter. Then he went to work and wiped out a record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Jennings scored 55 points, breaking Abdul-Jabbar's franchise rookie record, to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a come-from-behind 129-125 victory Saturday over the Golden State Warriors.
Jennings poured in 29 points in the third quarter, then 16 in the fourth to hold off the Warriors and become only the third Bucks player to score more than 50. The last to do it was Michael Redd, who set the franchise record with 57 points against Utah on Nov. 11, 2006.
"It was a very, very impressive performance for anyone, let alone a rookie in his seventh game," Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles said. "We just gave the ball to Brandon and let him go to work."
The No. 10 pick in the draft topped the 51 points scored by Abdul-Jabbar, then Lew Alcindor, on Feb. 21, 1970. The NBA rookie record was set by Wilt Chamberlain with 58 points for Philadelphia against Detroit in a January 1960 game in Bethlehem, Pa.
It was also the most points scored by a rookie since Earl Monroe had 56 on Feb. 13, 1968, and the second-most by a player under the age of 21, only topped by the 56 points scored by LeBron James on March 20, 2005.
"I was scoreless after the first quarter and really struggling," said Jennings, who hit 21 of 34 shots after hitting just one of his first seven shots. "I just started getting in the groove and felt really good in the third quarter."
The 29 points by Jennings were the most ever scored in a quarter against the Warriors. During the period, Jennings hit four 3-pointers and an assortment of jumpers and driving layups as he took over the game. At several points after scoring, he waved his arms in the air to get the crowd to cheer louder.
In all, he hit 12 of 13 shots in the quarter, his only miss a 3-point attempt with 5.9 seconds remaining. Jennings said after he hit his second shot in the third quarter, he could tell he was "in a zone."
"I was just trying to do whatever I could to help us win," he said. "We were out of sync in the first half and really needed to step it up."
Skiles said he told Jennings after the game, "Great game, get some rest tomorrow and [say] hello Jason Kidd on Monday." The Bucks play the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.
Bucks center Andrew Bogut said he was in position several times in the third quarter for offensive rebounds, but wasn't needed.
"I was just waiting for it to come off the rim, but it just kept going straight through, which makes it easier for me," he said. "But it could have padded the stats a little bit if he missed one or two of them."
Warriors coach Don Nelson called Jennings' effort "probably the best rookie performance I've ever witnessed in 30-some years coaching."
"We tried to handle him every way possible," Nelson said.
Warriors reserve Corey Maggette said Jennings had a "special game," one he had not seen in a long time.
"That was a great performance," Maggette said, shaking his head. "I don't know if anyone has done that since Magic [Johnson]. He was something pretty special tonight."
The Bucks won their fourth straight game for the first time in more than two years. The Bucks (5-2) are off to their best start since 2005, the last season the team made the playoffs.
Bogut added 19 points and 11 rebounds for the Bucks.
Monta Ellis led the Warriors (3-6) with 26 points and Maggette added 25.
Jennings hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2:15 to give the Bucks a 117-115 lead. Luke Ridnour then hit a driving layup with 1:40 remaining to increase the Bucks' lead to 119-115. After an offensive foul on Maggette, Jennings hit another jumper.
Maggette made a layup, was fouled and hit the free throw to cut the lead to 121-118, but Jennings came back and hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 34 seconds remaining and the Bucks held on to win.
The Warriors lost starting guard Kelenna Azubuike in the first quarter. Azubuike drove across the lane with 9:12 remaining in the quarter and slipped on the floor. He immediately grabbed his left leg and screamed in pain. After a five-minute delay, Azubuike left the court on a stretcher cart and went to the Warriors' locker room.
Game notes
Redd, sidelined with strained left patella tendon for the last four games, will try to return next week as the Bucks play Dallas on Monday and New Jersey on Wednesday. Bucks forward Kurt Thomas played in the 900th game of his career.
