Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 146: Continuous scoring, even the Lakers with the F4 lineup can't withstand it!

“Hey, the leading Mavericks took the lead in making adjustments!

Replace Nash with Josh Howard, and replace Walker with Danny Fordson.

Nash's defense was targeted, and Walker defended O'Neal and got two fouls, which were very reasonable adjustments.

On the other hand, the Lakers were far behind in the score, but they didn't make any move, and they didn't even call for a timeout to interrupt the Mavericks' offensive rhythm. They are also talented..."

At this time, the Mavericks' lineup became Danny Fordson, Nowitzki, Finley, Josh Howard and Tan Yang.

"While the Mavericks are strengthening their defensive attributes, this is their plan to start the rotation battle in advance!" On the commentary table, Kenny Smith saw the Mavericks' switching operations and commented with a smile.

Barkley next to him also grinned and said, "Is it possible that the Lakers have no choice..."

Not even a possibility, but a certainty.

Defending O'Neal is useless, and the "shark-killing tactic" is also useless. We can only start a wheel battle in advance and make a "long-term plan."

And considering the depth of the Mavericks' bench, they can also take the initiative to make arrangements to deal with the lack of depth of the Lakers' bench and the aging of several core players.

The Lakers attacked, and Payton controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Instead of going to the left, he moved to the right.

After all, even Nash couldn't be dealt with just now. Now Finley switches to guard Kobe on the outside, and there is a "shark-killing tactic" on the left inside to treat O'Neal. It is not a reasonable choice to continue to let the OK combination carry out the main attack. .

"Oh, moving to the right, Payton passed the ball to Malone who immediately raised it to the high post, and then cut inside.

Hey, Tan Yang kept up with Payton and didn't let Payton catch the ball and attack the basket..."

At this time, Payton rushed to the basket and moved to the right corner, taking away Tan Yang's defense. Then, Devin George continued to cut in, but was still followed by Josh Howard.

The continuous passing and cutting tactics were broken. Malone did not panic and chose to dribble to the right wing. Then Payton continued to cut in from the air. When he got the basketball, he finally got rid of Tan Yang's follow-up defense. Facing Nowitzki in a mismatch, he chose to pull out and test the Mavericks' basket with a two-point jumper from close range.

Bang-dang——!
The strike missed.

“Still missed!
The opportunity was created through tactical cooperation, but it's a pity that Payton's shooting condition tonight was just okay, and he couldn't get tough, so he just stayed outside...

Hey, the Lakers' offense wasn't over yet. It was O'Neal again. He took off the backboard, hung himself on his body, and still dunked toward the basket..."

Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
The referee ruled that the two-point penalty was valid and also whistled for an additional penalty.

“Nice job!!

Shaq's ball was too bullying, and he scored 2+1! !
There is no way, not only is our side too strong, but also the other side is too weak..."

On the commentary table, Barkley shook his head, and then said confidently with a smile.

“I went out there and played in the paint for the Mavericks, and I was able to dominate.

The Mavericks' inside strength is really poor.

Especially now that Nowitzki was evacuated from the penalty area by Malone, leaving Fordson, who is 2 meters tall, to defend O'Neal, what are you going to do with it..."

You can't stand it! !

Bang-dang——!
"I support it!"

On the commentary table, Barkley saw that O'Neal's extra penalty failed to score, and he couldn't help but say a traditional ventriloquism.

"When it comes to free throws, the Mavericks dare to take them, but O'Neal really dares to miss them.

The so-called 2+1 operation is indeed as fierce as a tiger, but it is a pity that the shark is useless..."

As long as Shark O'Neal's free throws are reliable, a special "shark-killing tactic" will not be developed.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines was also numb, and he thought to himself: It's no wonder that Kobe would replace him with "Pike". It was really O'Neal who failed to live up to his expectations in this regard.

12 to 19! !
The point difference became 7 points.

It seems that the Lakers' inside advantage is still crushing the situation, but unfortunately, the offensive efficiency is not that high, not even as high as three or four floors.

The offense and defense transitioned, and the Mavericks attacked. Tan Yang reached the frontcourt, faced Payton's leading defense, and directly directed the traffic.

"Here we go again, Tan Yang's routine.

Josh Howard came up to set a screen and was bypassed by Payton.

Tan Yang didn't panic. He continued to direct traffic and let Nowitzki continue to cover.

Beautiful, finally, Payton's lead defense was broken. Tan Yang broke through with the ball, and Devin George assisted in defense. Malone did not defend, but moved sideways to block Tan Yang's offensive and defensive direction.

Hey, Tan Yang stepped up to meet the man and chose the European step for a layup. Oh no, halfway through the layup, he threw the blame behind him and followed Josh Howard, who got the ball and immediately rushed to the basket for a quick layup. Is this ball possible... "

Boom, swish—!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

Josh Howard's first ax was scored steadily.

O'Neal, who was sitting in the penalty area and guarding the basket, was eventually shaken by Tan Yang's layup. This gave Josh Howard, who made his second layup, a chance to finish the game quickly.

“Very nice organization and passing!!

It looked very messy, and the Mavericks' offensive formation was not open, but Tan Yang took advantage of the shooting in front and pulled the Lakers' defense to the outside. Then, he broke through and scored, assisting just after coming out. Josh Howard made a great contribution and made an easy layup.

This is basketball intelligence, this newcomer Tan Yang is so awesome..."

A rookie, playing the card of a veteran star, has to give people the concept of "monster".

12 to 21! !
The point difference is still 9 points.

The Mavericks don't understand defense, and the Lakers don't understand either. They continue to play in a "mutual harm" rhythm.

Off the court, Jackson remained unmoved.

The question is that the players on the field are already taking action.

I saw Payton controlling the ball to the frontcourt, continuing to distribute the ball to Malone who was raised to the high position as a pivot, and then made an air cut without the ball.

At this time, Malone only needs to block Qin Yang, and then pass the basketball back to Payton, who is rushing up, and then he can rush to the basket for a layup and bomb the Mavericks' basket.

The combination of passing and cutting also has the effect of pick-and-roll tactics.

"pretty!
Malone blocked Tan Yang. He passed the ball to Payton. Oh no, he feinted a shot and allowed Payton's air cut to take away Nowitzki's defense. Then he turned to the left and carried Tan Yang. Just rush to the basket and hit the ball..."

Bang-dang——!
A close-range layup to the basket was originally a guaranteed point problem.

It's just a pity that the opportunity came out, but the basket or God was not on Malone's side. The basketball made a half circle in the basket, went in halfway, still rubbed outside, and then jumped out.

"OMG!!

What the hell kind of operation is this? It was harder for Malone to miss than to make a shot, but he missed the shot. It was like a ghost.

O'Neal was holding his head next to him. He obviously couldn't imagine that Malone couldn't make a layup even when he rushed to the basket.

At this time, Fordson, who was a rebounding beast, seized the opportunity and shot the basketball out of the perimeter. Finley took off the basketball and immediately counterattacked. He was followed by Kobe, and then passed the ball to Tan who was also rushing. In the hands of the Yankees, Payton cut too deep without the ball, and he couldn't defend it..."

A two-on-one situation formed in the frontcourt. Kobe fought and retreated, retreating to the penalty area. Unexpectedly, Tan Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area, shot very resolutely, and directly used a jump shot to test the Lakers' basket. Swish——!
“It’s so brave to be a highly skilled person!!
Kobe was defending one against two, and was very worried about Tan Yang's pass and assist. Unexpectedly, Tan Yang chose to take action himself, without any hesitation..."

After scoring the goal, Tan Yang didn't talk trash and say he was a shooter or something. He didn't want to get a sentence: What did you do to provoke him?
12 to 23! !
The score difference became 11 points.

Jackson finally felt a headache off the court.

It doesn't mean the point difference behind, but the headache of the Mavericks' offense. Good guy, it never stops scoring continuously. Even the Lakers with the F4 lineup can't withstand it!

At the same time, what is even more difficult to resist is that the players' self-adjustments on the field seem very reasonable.

The Lakers' triangle offense attacked to the right.

Whether it's Payton or Malone, under the control of the "OK combination" on the left, offensive opportunities come out frequently. It's just a pity that the ability and condition are not good enough to score goals!

Bang-dang——!
……

Bang-dang——!
……

In the next game, the Lakers' offense will still be played by Payton and Malone, with the OK combination on the left playing a supporting role. To be fair, this offensive choice is very reasonable.

It's a pity that although the Lakers' offense can score points, their offensive efficiency still cannot improve.

Add in Payton and Malone, and there seems to be no threat of killing the game.

Om-!
After the first quarter, the score was 24 to 33, and the Mavericks continued to maintain their lead.

Payton made 5 of 2, and Malone made 6 of 2. This is the offensive power of a dragon and a phoenix, and Kobe only got an invisible performance of 3 of 2 shots. Although O'Neal wreaked havoc in the penalty area, making 7 of 4 shots and 10 of 4 free throws. , scored 12 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, but still could not reverse the Lakers' lagging situation.

The Mavericks had a lot of success. Nowitzki scored 7 points, Finley scored 4 points, and Nash scored 5 points...

Of course, the most handsome guy is Qin Yang, who made 6 of 4 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 11 points and 5 assists in a single quarter. Just looking at the data, it is not surprising that the Lakers will fall behind after beating Kobe and Payton. .

In the second quarter, there was no so-called "rotation battle". Nelson continued to maintain offensive intensity and lined up an elite lineup of Walker, Jamison, Finley, Josh Howard and Qin Yang.

Nash and Nowitzki, these two defensive holes, rest and recuperate.

For the Lakers, Payton and O'Neal rest.

Kobe and Malone, two famous iron men, continued to lead the team.

Phil Jackson sent out Fisher as the sixth man, plus Karim Rush and Stanislav Medvedenko who made up the numbers.

After looking at the rotations of both sides in the second quarter, Kenny Smith shook his head on the commentary table.

“The difference in lineup depth between the two sides is not a hundred million points!!

The Mavericks not only have many stars who can play, but they are also in their prime age, giving them obvious advantages.

Of course, the Lakers have two bugs. Whether it is Kobe or O'Neal, in terms of star level, they are not on the same level as the Mavericks' All-Star offensive lineup.

Next, it depends on whether quality wins or quantity continues to dominate..."

The second quarter started with the Lakers having the offensive ball.

Fisher controlled the ball to the frontcourt, found Kobe immediately, and then skillfully pulled to the side.

Outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left, Kobe held the ball to pose as an offensive three-threat. Facing Josh Howard's defense, he continued to take steps, found the offensive rhythm, and immediately dribbled the ball to the left to break through.

"Kobe Bryant went in, and Tan Yang immediately came over without a second thought and set up a team defense with Josh Howard.

Oh, Kobe is not used to them, he pulls out, he raises his hand and makes a two-pointer, then pulls up and shoots a pull-up jumper..."

In the first quarter of the game, the reason why Kobe restrained his strength was because he wanted to use it as a trump card to use in the second quarter. The so-called zone defense was nothing more than an open shooting opportunity in front of him.

Bang-dang——!
The knife fell and the strike missed.

“It’s a pity, the shooting rhythm and movement are very beautiful.

The basket was not owned by the Lakers. The basketball was halfway in, but it still jumped out.

Of course, the Lakers' offensive options are still too simple and straightforward.

The Mavericks could close their eyes and guess that Kobe would attack for a one-on-one..."

The Mavericks will naturally put their defensive energy on Kobe.

Outside the court, Nelson nodded, very happy with the cards on his opponent's hand.

Unlike the Lakers, there is only one Kobe who can play, plus half Malone and half Fisher.

Now that the Mavericks don't have the two defensive holes of Nash and Nowitzki, it's not surprising that their defensive attributes have increased, and they can predict the Lakers' offense, which can put pressure on Kobe's offense.

The rebound was picked off by Jamison, who immediately rushed to counterattack.

"The Mavericks picked up the speed, and Tan Yang received the ball and advanced, but the Lakers also retreated very quickly.

Without O'Neal, the Lakers played a small-ball lineup with Kobe as the core.

Position battle, next, let’s see how Qin Yang organizes it?

Oops, he's going to use cover tactics again..."

At this time, Jamison retreated to the top arc, blocking Tan Yang and holding Fisher's lead defense.

Tan Yang was not polite and immediately broke through with the ball. Facing Medvedenko's defense, he played very strongly.

"Tin Yang acted like a reckless man, he rushed in, he shot, oh no, he flicked the ball to the right.

Another pass to Josh Howard, he got the basketball, he was free, he pulled it out, and he raised his hand and took a two-point jumper from close range, will it happen..."

Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came out, but Josh Howard's second shot was useless, and the basketball shot missed.

“No hit!!

Alas, the Mavericks' offense is not over yet.

Tan Yang picked up the rebound. With good luck, he rushed to the basket to make a last-minute shot. Oh no, during the layup, he made another back pass.

He attracted everyone's defense. Jamison cut in from the air and took the ball. Only the basket was left in front of him..."

Bang-dang——!
Jamison dunked with both hands, his entire body hanging on the basket, easily eating the cake made by Tan Yang and continuing the Mavericks' offense.

Without an organized pass, you can't score. If you can't, then try the second time.

Qin Yang continuously sent exquisite breakthrough passes to help the Mavericks continue to score.

24 to 35! !
The point difference widened to 11, and with continuous offensive scoring, the advantage still lies with the Mavericks.
