Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 147: To defend against the Lakers, it would be a good idea to let Kobe start his personal scoring mode!

"The Lakers attacked, Fisher controlled the ball past half court, and immediately passed the ball to Kobe. Then, without the ball, he moved to the left three-pointer at a 45-degree angle to stretch the space.

Kobe held the ball on the left side, and the three threats broke through to the right side after exploring.

Sure enough, it was another pincer attack tactic.

Finley slid close to Kobe's right side. Tan Yang came to help and pounced on the left side of Kobe's direction, so as to lock Kobe's breakthrough to the outside and away from the more threatening basket.

Oh, Kobe pulled it out, he shot, oh no, he flicked it in the air and threw the damn basketball to the old fish Fisher who cut into the paint.

After catching the ball and lifting it up, Fisher raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."

Under the basket, Jamison and Tan Yang turned around and came back. Whether they were making up for defense or pursuing defense, before they were in place, Fisher seized the gap, drew his gun and shot. You could only hear the gunshot.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

“Great job!!

Fisher's ball is too critical and stable.

He is worthy of being a key player in the Lakers' big scenes.

At 'this moment', he still dares to shoot and score. This piece of the championship puzzle is too hard.

Although he is not as well-known as Payton, in terms of the role of puzzle pieces, Fisher may be more famous..."

Snapped--!
When returning to defense, Kobe and Fisher high-fived in celebration.

In the future, when Kobe Bryant wins the championship, Fisher will be by his side, and the mutual trust is unbreakable.

26 is better than 35!

The point difference returned to 9 points.

The offense and defense transitioned, the Mavericks attacked, and Qin Yang advanced but was pressed by Fisher.

"Don't panic, Tan Yang protected the ball with his back, and he was not afraid of physical confrontation and directed the traffic at the same time.

It took Tan Yang some time to push the basketball to the top arc.

Beautiful, Jamison was evacuated to cover again, Tan Yang faced Medvedenko, oh no, Fisher also pounced on Tan Yang, trying to flank and defend.

Tan Yang pulled the ball, and he jumped up and passed the ball to Jamison who cut inside.

Heading towards the penalty area, Jamison pulled out. Kobe and Malone assisted in defense too quickly. They chose close-range shots to test the Lakers' defense. Will there be more..."

Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came out, Jamison shot this time, but failed to grasp it.

The basketball shot missed.

"The rebound was taken off by Malone and he immediately launched a counterattack.

Oh no, Tan Yang committed a foul and interrupted the Lakers' counterattack..."

At this time, the Mavericks' lineup is strong in mobility, but the tallest player is Walker, who is 2 meters tall, and he still has some moisture.

Whenever the Lakers get a chance to hit the basket, the Mavericks simply can't withstand it given their strength.

Fouling is the most economical and efficient method.

Positional battle, the Lakers' offense.

Outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left, Kobe holds the ball and poses as an offensive three-threat. He is still probing left and right. Defending this kind of virtual and solid attack, the water is still too deep for rookie Josh Howard. He grasps Can't live.

"Kobe rushed in, and Josh Howard was tight on defense. He could only fight and retreat, hoping to wait for Tan Yang to help defend. Oh no, Kobe pulled out. The rhythm was very smooth. He raised his hand and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper. , this ball has..."

Bang-dang——!
The basketball went in halfway, but still jumped out of the basket.

Kobe's pull-up jumper turned into a three-iron shot and missed.

"Pity!!
Kobe's two shots in the second quarter failed to withstand the test, and his good jump shots failed to cause damage to the Mavericks' defense..."

After Kobe played the ball, he immediately pounced on Jamison who grabbed the rebound, and then made a steal, trying to get back the basketball he missed. It was a pity that ruthless people are ruthless, but the referee was not used to him, and he called the penalty. Kobe's foul.

Outside the court, the home players first booed Kobe, followed by cheers and applause.

At this time, the atmosphere increased. Tan Yang controlled the ball until he was in the frontcourt. Seeing that Fisher did not press, but retreated to the three-point line, he immediately raised his hand and tried a three-pointer without thinking. Take action...

With Fisher's height of 1 meters, it is impossible to block shots. He can only bet that Tan Yang's three-point pistol is out of bullets.

Bang-dang——!
“It also missed the mark!!

Tan Yang's game was too messy.

There's nothing wrong with his offensive choices, but his abilities are a little off.

Another opportunity for the Lakers to chase points..."

Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, still doing the usual operation, passing the ball to Kobe on the left wing, and then moved to the side without the ball.

Continue to pose as an offensive three-threat, and then, nothing more.

“Josh Howard’s defense was broken through again.

Kobe's breakthrough was too difficult to defend, so we could only fight and retreat, waiting for Tan Yang to rush to help defend.

He pulled it up again, Kobe still didn't believe it, he pulled it out, oh no, he flicked it in the air and threw the pot outside the outside three-point line.

Fisher caught the ball, he was empty, he took a look at Yangshou and made a three-point jumper..."

Fisher's shooting movement was very fast. Tan Yang turned around and rushed to catch up, almost covering his face. However, Fisher shot very resolutely. Tan Yang could only bet that Fisher would shoot back. Just hang out outside.

Swish-!
The hand rose and the knife fell, and Fisher's three-pointer was obtained.

“What broke the Lakers’ offensive game was Fisher’s three-pointer.

Players in big scenes are indeed not just random players, but stand up and play at critical moments in each game.

This goal that Fisher scored was not only very hurtful, but also extremely insulting..."

Just now, Tan Yang's three-pointer missed Fisher's head, but when he turned around, Fisher knocked down a three-pointer on Tan Yang's head. This is called professionalism.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting outside the court, couldn't help but nodded.

You know, this season Fisher was removed from the starting point guard to play the role of the sixth man. His three-point shooting averaged 6% per game in the 01/02 season and 41% per game in the 02/03 season. 40.5% of this season's players have gone from top 29D players to "three no players" with no 3D, no D, and no organization.

Fisher was really nothing during the regular season. After all, he was also adapting to his role, and it was a fucking contract year. Anyone who replaced him would be confused and unable to control his condition.

However, entering the playoffs, Fisher's three-point shooting percentage increased to 41.5%. While it was a strong improvement, it also filled the Lakers' lack of three-point shooting ability.

Having said that, excellent 3D players are still indispensable for championship teams.

29 to 35! !
The score difference became 6 points.

From taking the lead to being beaten 5-0, Nelson on the sidelines was obviously dissatisfied.

With a wave of his hand, he replaced Finley with Nowitzki.

At this time, the Mavericks' lineup became Nowitzki, Walker, Jamison, Josh Howard and Tan Yang.

With three All-Star forwards in their prime and two superstars, the Mavericks' lineup is still very capable.

"Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to direct traffic. Nowitzki proposed to do the pick-and-roll.

Tan Yang broke through with the ball, oh no, he threw the ball out and handed the basketball to Nowitzki to pick up the ball and single out Karim Rush.

In this matchup, the advantage lies with the Mavericks.

Nowitzki received the ball from outside the three-point line. Without thinking, he made a three-point jumper. After shaking Kareem Rush, Nowitzki chose to break through and he went in.

Karim Rush tried his best to slide to defend, oh no, he chased after him.

Beep——!
The whistle sounded. Nowitzki's offense after committing a foul was not over yet. He threw the basketball. Can it be 2+1..."

Bang-dang——!
In the regretful voice of the home fans, Nowitzki's shot after committing a foul failed to score.

Fortunately, although the process was not perfect, the result was still excellent for the Mavericks.

Nowitzki got a free throw opportunity as soon as he came on the court.

Swish-!
Swish-!
Faced with the problem of sending points, Nowitzki showed no mercy and steadily made the free throws.

29 to 37! !
The score difference became 8 points. On the commentary table, Barkley shook his head and said after seeing this scene.

“Lineup reduction attack!!

The Lakers' defense didn't lose points unjustly.

Malone, Karim Rush and Medvedenko against the Mavericks' Nowitzki, Walker and Jamison.

Three role players against three All-Star attackers.

The Mavericks failed to score, but it was news..."

Off the court, Phil Jackson remained calm.

The problem is that the second quarter is not the time for the decisive battle, and the game is controllable. The Mavericks have the card of dimensionality reduction, but there is no way to defeat the game, so there is no rush.

Damn it should be the Mavericks.

But soon, his expression turned serious.

On the court, Kobe was holding the ball and challenging Josh Howard. Logically speaking, the advantage was definitely on Kobe's side. Even if the Mavericks deployed a zone defense and flanking tactics, in a duel between superstars and superstars, the advantage was obvious.

However, Kobe's breakthrough was no problem. He leaned back and made a pull-out shot, but he still missed.

Bang-dang——!
"OMG!!

Kobe's shooting is too bad.

Fisher's shooting was obviously more threatening, but Kobe did not choose to pass the ball, but chose to do it on his own.

Sure enough, there are rumors that if you want to prevent the Lakers' offense and let Kobe start his personal scoring mode, it is also a good way..."

Next, the Lakers' offense.

Kobe continued to play one-on-one with the ball. After attracting the defense, he chose to pass the ball to Malone, who easily made a two-point jump shot.

Immediately afterwards, with the help of teammates who were not CBA, Kobe chose to take action himself in the next round.

As a result, there was a clang and the iron was struck again.

Although the Lakers' offense can score points, success depends on Kobe Bryant and failure depends on Kobe Bryant.

The Lakers' offense was intermittent and failed to produce continuous attacks and lacked lethality. Instead, relying on the assists of Kobe Bryant, the Mavericks' counterattack was flourishing.

Seeing that the point difference between the two sides widened to 11 points.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines immediately couldn't sit still and replaced Kobe and Medvedenko with O'Neal and Payton.

Sure enough, it was impossible for O'Neal to defend him. As soon as he returned to the court, O'Neal received Payton's pass and easily dunked under the basket and scored two points.

Then, he distributed the ball again, assisted Payton, rushed to the basket for a layup, and scored two points.

The Lakers' offense continues to be firing on all cylinders.

However, the Mavericks' "shark-killing tactics" appeared again.

Bang-dang——!
Swish-!
……

Standing on the free throw line, O'Neal faced the problem of scoring points and shot 50-50 free throws. Obviously, his efficiency was not good enough.

No way, seeing that there is K but no O, the Lakers' offense cannot continue, and there is O but no K, the Lakers' offense is inefficient.

With no choice, Phil Jackson could only continue to send Kobe off the field.

Bang-dang——!
……

"OMG!!

Kobe failed to wake up on the bench, returned to the court, and immediately put on a blacksmith show.

O'Neal and O'Neal are like twins..."

Om-!
After the second quarter, Kobe made 6 of 1 shots, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 5 points and 4 assists. It was not bad. O'Neal made 6 of 3 shots, 6 of 3 free throws, and scored 9 points and 5 rebounds. The statistics were also pretty good. The Lakers The team scored 25 points in the second quarter.

However, the defense allowed the Mavericks to score 26 points.

In Hong Kong, the Mavericks' reduced-dimensional strike lineup has mediocre offensive power. Fortunately, thanks to the "shooting" of the OK combination, the Mavericks, who specialize in jump shots, expanded to a 1-point lead in the "rhythm" they are good at. Advantage.

At the end of the first half, the score was 49 to 59. The Mavericks entered the locker room to rest with a 10-point lead.

After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, the game came back in the second half. Both teams started with their main players, then played music, and then played again.

“The reason why the Lakers fell behind in the first half was because their core players couldn’t grasp the shooting.

Kobe made 9 of 3 jump shots, O'Neal made 16 of 7 free throws, and with Payton and Malone, the shooting efficiency was not good either.

Therefore, even though the Lakers' overall performance in F4 was quite adequate, they still have a lot of offensive space. Being 10 points behind is not a problem. "

"The Mavericks' 'shark-killing tactics' against O'Neal and their wheel-and-wheel attack against Kobe Bryant were quite effective.

However, the Mavericks players also fell into too many foul problems.

In the second half, it was difficult for the Mavericks to fool the Lakers' offensive firepower.

The suspense of the game is still there. Next, let’s see what the two sides can do in the second half of the game..."

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

It was still a regular operation. Payton controlled the ball to the frontcourt, distributed the ball to Kobe, and faced Tan Yang with the ball.

"Kobe broke through with the ball, oh no, he passed the ball to Devin George on the right.

Seeing Malone mentioning the high post, he immediately passed the ball and then moved to the right flank.

Beautiful, Malone and Devin George played a pass-cut combination.

Devin George broke through with the ball, he broke out, he pulled out, he raised his hand and made a two-point pull-up jump shot..."

Nowitzki, who was misplaced on defense, could only listen to the gunshot.

Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came out, but Devin George's shot missed.

“The Lakers have a good offensive chance!
Of course, it is very possible that the Mavericks deliberately let it go.

After all, the Mavericks have an All-Star offensive lineup and don't have to treat Devin George's offense as alive.

Oops, the Lakers' offense was not over yet, O'Neal took off the rebound.

Beautiful, when he saw Kobe cutting in from the air, he chose to distribute the ball. Kobe took the ball and rushed to the basket. Now there is..."

Bang-dang——!
The basketball went in halfway and still jumped out.

This opportunity to give points was given by that guy O'Neal, but he actually missed the shot.

Kobe angrily smacked his palms as he returned to defense, clearly dissatisfied with his hands.

“The Mavericks come back!!

Kobe and Devin George cut too deep to attack.

Nowitzki took the ball and immediately threw it to Nash, increasing his speed.

Payton wanted to reach out for a foul, but Nash passed the ball. Tan Yang got the basketball and immediately drove the ball forward. From the top position, he stopped suddenly and pulled the ball back, throwing away Kobe who was desperately pursuing.

Good guy, Kobe Bryant rushed back to the frontcourt at some point, but his defensive moves were too old. Tan Yang got away with a feint. He pulled out, and from outside the three-point line, he raised his hand and tried a three-pointer. Pull-up jump shot..."

Kobe braked hard and almost fell to the floor. He still adjusted his body to pounce on Tan Yang, who was already jumping high. Then, he stumbled and jumped up to block the shot. The only thing left was to hear the gunshot.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in! !
“Great shot, well done!!
Tan Yang shot this ball too hard. Instead of going for a solid two-pointer to the basket, he shot an unreasonable three-pointer and damn it went in.

The lethality of this ball is too strong..."

After the goal, Tan Yang clenched his fists to celebrate, and then high-fived Nash. He felt that the game was stable.

At this time, the score was 49 to 62, and the point difference widened to 13 points.

What do the Lakers use to chase?
