Countercurrent and become a superstar

“Lakers attack!

Here it comes again, Payton controlled the ball to the frontcourt, handed the basketball to Kobe, and then cut outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left without the ball.

Kobe was holding the ball on the wing and was pressed closely. Kobe pulled the ball. Oh no, he just chose to pass the ball to the basket.

O'Neal caught the ball, he was mobbed, he separated the ball.

Payton caught the ball in the corner, feinted a shot, and instead of testing the Mavericks' defense with a three-pointer, he took a step with the ball, and then passed the ball to Kobe who came in through an air cut.

Catching the ball, chasing after him, breaking through Finley who turned back, and then made a shooting motion..."

Beep——!
At the same time as the whistle sounded, the basketball "swooshed" in the air and flew out of the baseline in a non-stick posture. However, the damage was done, and Kobe stood on the free throw line.

Hurry——!
Fans at the home arena immediately greeted Kobe with huge boos.

Seemingly affected, Kobe actually missed his first free throw.

Bang-dang——!
"Failed to score a penalty!
Finley's hard foul on Kobe just now showed that he was very experienced.

It's very possible that Kobe's hands haven't gotten used to it yet. "

Swish-!
On the second free throw, Kobe made it and steadily put the damn basketball into the basket.

Faced with the question of giving points, Kobe obviously will not step on the trap in one place.

3 to 3! !
Bryant rushed to the basket and drew a foul to destroy the Mavericks' defense. He made one of two free throws and continued the Lakers' offense.

Off the court, Nelson looked calm.

To put it bluntly, Kobe played more actively, mainly because of the tactical release of the Mavericks.

But Shaquille O'Neal must die, that's for sure.

Looking back, Tan Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to use cover tactics.

“Very nice cooperation!
Another flank cover tactic freed Nowitzki from Malone's guard.

Moved to the top arc and continued to cover with Tan Yang. Devin George was blocked, Tan Yang passed the ball, and Nowitzki raised the ball from outside the three-point line and took a shot. Oh no, a feint shot, taking advantage of the three-point threat just now. , shook Payton, and Nowitzki chose to break through with the ball.

He rushed in, he stopped suddenly, he lifted the ball, you were wrong, Nowitzki passed the blame and passed the ball to Tan Yang who cut in from the left.

Beautiful, it’s just a small throw from horseback and archery when you get the ball..."

Devin George chose to flank Nowitzki after Payton was stunned. Unexpectedly, Nowitzki, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually continued to fake. True to form, he turned around to block Tan Yang's shot, but it was already too late.

Swish-!
With his hand raised and his sword dropped, Tan Yangxiu's horse-riding and archery skills were revealed.

The basketball didn't hang around outside, but went out.

“Great job!!

Tan Yang, a treasure player, is so versatile. He can not only organize passes and assist Nowitzki, but he can also be a shooter and use shooting to teach the Mavericks' defense how to behave.

And the amazing thing is that Nowitzki is the same. He can score, break through, and occasionally become a support organization, using passes to help the Mavericks kill.

The offensive talents of the two are simply overflowing. Now that the two of them are cooperating with each other, they are really unstoppable..."

3 to 5! !
In the transition between offense and defense, Kobe then played music and then attacked with the ball.

Finley continued to press, and he was on the right side of Kobe, so that he could teach Kobe to break through to the left.

"Sure enough, Kobe brought the ball in, and Tan Yang immediately came over to help defend and started a zone defense with Finley.

The Mavericks' two major perimeter defenses greeted each other. Kobe went in and jumped out again.

He didn't mess around, he chose to pass the ball to the basket, and he could only pass the ball a little hesitantly.

When O'Neal catches the ball, he needs to make an adjustment. He can't lift the ball immediately and take a shot, but the Mavericks shrink and attack. It's a one-on-three rhythm. Let's see what O'Neal will do?
Oh, he pulled it out, he shot it, and it was a small hook shot from close range..."

Hong Kong, with O'Neal's physical talent, there is definitely a chance for this shot under the basket.

It's just a pity that O'Neal's skills are not good. He can't find the crosshairs of the hook that is so close.

Bang-dang——!
The strike missed.

“No hit!!

O'Neal hit the ball a little too hastily.

While completely falling into the Mavericks' defensive trap, he was not good at rhythm, and coupled with his poor shooting skills, it was really difficult to score this ball.

In particular, Kobe's passing was not comfortable, and he failed to allow O'Neal to catch the ball and form a shooting offensive threat.

O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's connection and cooperation were not smooth enough. O'Neal's adjustments after receiving the ball gave the Mavericks the space to attack O'Neal. It is very likely that O'Neal was tricked.

Of course, O'Neal's offensive choices are also very problematic.

The problem is that the left corner is completely empty. If he distributes the ball, it will be an excellent opportunity to shoot a three-pointer in an open space.

But O'Neal chose to pass the ball, which is very unreasonable.

But it’s very reasonable…”

The problem is that O'Neal cannot control his body, and his weight is getting more and more excessive. Dragging that huge body to run on the court, physical exhaustion is a problem.

In order not to waste O'Neal's physical energy and increase O'Neal's offensive efficiency, O'Neal must be allowed to shoot as early as possible. Even if it is not his offensive opportunity and his offensive rhythm, he must insist on shooting.

Without any prelude to skills and shooting skills, it is too difficult to just hit the putt in the hole and play multi-player.

O'Neal can't!
On the commentary table, Barkley looked at it and shook his head.

"Just look at the results!
The problem lies with O'Neal. There is a problem with his shot selection. His shot selection is not what he is good at.

Therefore, if he misses the shot, he has to take the blame.

But what I want to say is what makes the Lakers' offense not smooth.

Kobe also had a share, he did it too...

Kobe didn't choose his passes well at all..."

From the beginning, Kobe added risk and difficulty to O'Neal's offense.

Of course, it was O'Neal who chose.

He chose to lie down first.

On the commentary stage, Zen Master Jackson’s face was calm.

The question is, this is not the first time this season that the problem has arisen.

O'Neal and Kobe are now on one AM and one FM, both on different channels.

Reluctantly joining together is destined to be incompatible.

accommodate?

This is impossible.

Fortunately, this season is the last dance, so he doesn't care.

If he can only survive this season, how will he control the OK group's troubles?

So, it doesn't matter anymore.

On the court, compared to the lack of smoothness of the OK combination, the "Noqin combination" continued to exert force on the court.

"It's Tan Yang and Nowitzki's top arc screen again!
Nowitzki caught the ball and continued to break through, and he continued to pass the ball to Tan Yang.

Beautiful, Tan Yang broke through with the ball, he looked towards Nowitzki on the right, oh no, he passed the ball with a hit to the left basket, and Finley made an air cut and rushed over.

Jump high to catch the ball..."

Bang-dang——!
With a powerful dunk against Huashan, Finley easily took the pie and blasted the basketball into the basket, also continuing the Mavericks' offense.

"marvelous!!
The Mavericks did a great job as a team.

Nowitzki has three-pointers, Qin Yang has mid-range shots, and now even Finley has basket-rushing layups.

This is called a three-dimensional attack.

Under Qin Yang's organization and coordination, the Mavericks' offense is full of firepower. It's called a multi-point bloom. What can you use to top it up..."

You can't stand it!
3 to 7! !
Outside the court, Nelson clenched his fists in celebration and then rushed to the court to applaud. He was obviously very satisfied with the performance of the players and team on the court.

From Finley's side screen, to Tan Yang's top arc screen pass, to Nowitzki's sudden shot and pass as a single threat, and then, Tan Yang's cake making to help his teammates...

One link after another, the offensive advantage is accumulated bit by bit, and then, the final player's fatal blow is scored.

Compared to the chaotic one-on-one battles between various stars, relying on the stars' personal talents to score points, the offensive system brought to the Mavericks by the newcomer Tan Yang is simply too reliable. Off the court, Nash on the bench looked a little confused.

It can only be said that winning is not embarrassing, but missing someone is embarrassing.

Especially when he is in a contract year, he still feels a little uncomfortable watching his teammates around him perform better and better on both offense and defense.

The cultural heritage of the kangaroo country is not enough to express this state of mind, so I use the culture of a flower grower to express it, because I am afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.

"The Lakers are 4 points behind!
The next offense still went to the basket.

They can only use O'Neal's offensive power as much as possible while O'Neal can still run.

Oops, another three-person attack targeted the area, blocking the space in the penalty area.

O'Neal took the ball and dug in, and then he passed the blame. Oh no, he passed the ball.

In the left three-point corner, Payton was free. He caught the ball, raised his hand, and took a three-point jumper..."

Since Tan Yang had already contracted to double-team O'Neal, he was already prepared not to regard Payton's shot as alive.

Swish-!
Knife dropped, goal scored.

“Yes!!

Payton's three-pointer! !

It's not easy. In order to win the first championship in his early career, the 36-year-old veteran was able to work hard to improve himself and improve his three-pointers, which he was not good at, until he could hit the basket.

You should never underestimate the heart of a championship, it makes capable players better..."

After scoring, Payton immediately threw himself into defense while celebrating.

Tan Yang could only shake his head.

You have to admit your mistakes, and you have to admit this ball.

Looking back, Nowitzki resisted Payton's block and tried to hit a three-point shot in response. However, the basket did not tolerate him.

You will die if you try!

The three-pointer missed.

Bang-dang——!
On the commentary stage, Barkley couldn't help but sigh and praise.

“Peyton couldn’t have done a better job!!

Offensively, he unlocked his three-point shooting, which he was not good at, and took the blame thrown by O'Neal.

Defensively, he used his good defense to suppress Nowitzki's cannon.

It’s both offensive and defensive, it’s simply amazing…”

On the sidelines, even Jackson, who was sleeping, couldn't help but wake up and give Payton a round of applause.

Of course, there were the boos from the home fans.

This is the greatest etiquette for your opponent.

Looking back, Payton controlled the ball to the frontcourt, continued to be a tool man, distributed the ball to Kobe, and then cut to the left wing without the ball.

“Catch a pass from Kobe!

Payton didn't waste his shots. Even though he just scored a three-pointer, he still chose to send the basketball to the basket steadily.

Bang-!
O'Neal took the ball and immediately attacked the Mavericks' defense, creating another three-man attack.

Unable to carve out offensive space, the Mavericks now have no choice but to pile people into the penalty area.

Beautiful, O'Neal continues to throw the blame away.

Payton was free again, he shot, oh no, he broke through with the ball, then passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket, took the ball and immediately rushed to the basket for a layup, and now...

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

My goodness!

There were no balls fed to his mouth like this. How did O'Neal do it?
His condition was too bad, and Payton's steady efforts were all messed up..."

The rebound was picked off by Nowitzki.

Payton immediately pressed Qin Yang so that the Mavericks could not increase their speed and dragged the game into a positional battle.

Offense, defense, controlling the rhythm of the game, organizing passes... Payton has done everything he has to do, and he does the work of a top auxiliary player with such dedication. It's just a pity that O'Neal can't help him!

Offensively, the opportunity given turned out to be useless.

Looking back, the Mavericks offense has it.

I saw Qin Yang receiving the ball after Nowitzki's breakthrough, then dribbling the ball to break through, and continuing to pass the ball to Nowitzki who came in through an air cut. He completely toyed with the Lakers' defense. Then, he could only watch. Nowitzki easily picked the basket and put the basketball into the basket.

"nice shot!!

It's Tan Yang and Nowitzki's connection again! !
Their continuous passing and cutting cooperation dismembered the Lakers' defense..."

6 to 9! !
The point difference became 3 points! !

Fortunately, the Lakers' offense returned immediately.

"Another lob found O'Neal under the basket.

Despite his poor condition, the Mavericks never dared to relax their defense on O'Neal.

Still surrounded by three people, O'Neal's own 'one star and four shots' system took effect.

He continued to choose to pass the blame.

Payton continued to be free, and he passed the ball to Kobe who came in through the air. He caught the ball, pulled it up, and raised his hand to make a two-point pull-up jumper..."

Swish-!
Finley's defense was blown.

If you can take care of O'Neal, you are destined to fail to take care of Kobe's defense.

Two bottles of poison, no matter what you choose, you will both die.

On the commentary table, Kenny Smith saw this scene and shook his head repeatedly.

“This is the scary thing about OK group!!

There is no way to guard against them one on one.

If you choose to flank one of them, the other will be able to use his unstoppable personal abilities to beat the opponent's defense!

There is indeed no tacit understanding between O'Neal and Kobe.

But it’s too difficult to suppress all the offenses of the two men. Judging from the defensive capabilities of the Mavericks, they can’t..."

8 to 9! !
Look at Kobe's cold and emotionless face.

Nelson looked very calm off the court.

He had already prepared for this situation! !

At this moment, he somewhat understood Bo Povich's situation in the past few years.

But the only choice was Bo Povich's operation. If Kobe could defeat the Mavericks alone, he would admit it.

But no matter what, O'Neal must die.

OK combination cannot, must not combine two swords.

In the next game, O'Neal did not force himself to play, but continued to choose to attract the defense and then distribute the ball.

Swish-!
"pretty!!

Payton is also crazy! !
Three-point shots were never missed.

Tan Yang paid the price for his defense of Payton.

This is the power of O'Neal's own system. He can give his teammates better shooting opportunities. The rest is a matter of whether he can grasp it.

Obviously, Payton nailed it tonight, he rained down threes..."

11 to 9! !
With Kobe's two-point attack and Payton's three-point bombing, the Lakers fired with full firepower from the outside, making the Mavericks' defense unable to find its way, and took the lead in the score.
