Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 58 Paid Too Much Price
"His offensive prediction is very good." Sitting on the bench, Hamblem said while writing with a small notebook.

"This is talent. Although I haven't arranged this tactic, I said before the game that our style of play is to create one-on-one opportunities for Kobe and Butler. Zhao Hao understood the meaning of this sentence. That's what it did."

Tang Shuai nodded aside and said.

Tang Shuai couldn't be more satisfied with Zhao Hao.

Although Zhao Hao has obvious shortcomings, whether it is holding the ball or moving the ball, there are big problems, but he can't rely on his excellent single-defense ability, and his keen awareness of assisting defense.

You must know that cooperative defense and single defense are completely different things!

A great man once said that 70% of single defense comes from hard work and hard work, while 70% of assisted defense comes from basketball IQ.

For example, Ben Wallace of the Pistons, Big Ben, looked at this guy from a distance and looked like a big and three rough, as if he had no IQ at all.

However, he insisted on supporting the entire inside sky of the Pistons by himself, because his defense ability is top-notch!

So Big Ben is also a proper high IQ player!

In Tang Shuai's eyes, Zhao Hao seems to have this taste, and more importantly, his three-point shooting is still so good.

"Are those two three-pointers real or not?" Thinking of the two exaggerated three-pointers in the first quarter, Tang Shuai asked curiously.

Hamblen hesitated for a while, then waved his hand behind him, and a staff member came over with a yawn.

The two whispered for a long time.

"It's true! The shooting trainer arranged for Kobe saw this scene with his own eyes. He was two meters away from the three-point line and made 200 three-pointers out of 155 shots." Turning around, Hamblen said with certainty.

"My God! That's close to 80% shooting. After returning home, quickly adjust Zhao Hao's off-ball pick-and-roll and running positions. Don't arrange for him to ambush in the bottom corner. From now on, he will shoot long-range shots at the top of the arc. "Tang Shuai gasped and said.

Although it sounds appalling, Tang Shuai still chooses to believe the words of the shooting trainer and Hamblen, as well as Zhao Hao.

After all, there are talented people of all kinds in the NBA, so no matter how exaggerated or unbelievable something is, as long as it appears in the NBA, it is not uncommon.

For example, Chamberlain's 100 points!
The game continues on the field.

Without the organizer, the Lakers did not play very well, the offensive rhythm was very slow, and the ball movement was not very good. It all relied on Butler's low singles to score points.

Coupled with a defensive colander like Mihm, the Lakers were once again blasted inside by the Clippers.

If it weren't for Grant's excellent defensive ability at the power forward position, who has been helping Mihm wipe his ass, and slightly pressed the Clippers' inside line to explode, I am afraid it will be another big lead.

Zhao Hao finally got a chance on the perimeter, got a second pass from Butler after attracting double-teams, and made another ultra-long three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line.

45:50
The Lakers trailed by 5 points, and Tang Shuai signaled to the referee to make adjustments and substitutions.

Mihm was replaced, and Zhao Hao and Butler also took a break, replaced by Kobe, Walton and Divac.

Vujacic looked at Tang Shuai eagerly, and after confirming that he could not play again, he sat on the bench and pouted, in a bad mood.

After all, as a first-round pick, he failed to get a chance to play in such an unimportant preseason game.
Vujacic didn't dare to think about it, it hurts when he thought about it.

The game continued, and Kobe broke through dunks as soon as he came up.

Black Mamba is in attack mode!

After all, from the beginning of the first quarter to the present, the Lakers have been under pressure from the Clippers. Even if adjustments were made later to limit the Clippers' inside offense, they still fell behind in score.

There is no way, the inside strength of the two teams is there.

As the halftime whistle sounded, the Lakers continued to fall behind 52 to 55.

In the second half, Tang Shuai reversed the transfer mistakes in the first half and combined Zhao Hao with Kobe and Odom, while Divac continued to rest off the court.

After all, in the first and second quarters, Tang Shuai clearly discovered that the best organizers of the Lakers are Odom and Divac.

Needless to say, Odom's name as a left-handed magician is not groundless. After all, he can be compared with the number one guard in NBA history, and his passing ability is definitely not bad.

Divac's passing ability is also underestimated. Although his passing is difficult to convert into assists, as a tall supporter, he can bring a very significant change to the Lakers' offense.

Just because it can open up the restricted space for Kobe, no one can replace it.

Therefore, Tang Shuai made up his mind that Odom and Divac must be separated to play in the future, otherwise as long as the two are off the court at the same time, the Lakers' offense will be very troublesome.

Kobe Bryant scored another jumper from the free throw line!
Then the Clippers made a mistake, Zhao Hao intercepted the long pass, and Odom passed the fast break from the frontcourt to Zhao Hao at the top of the arc.

Two steps outside the three-point line, a three-pointer!
It's super far again!It's super far again!Can you make a good shot!

The Clippers' bench was completely crazy, because they found that the No. 23 rookie on the field could really shoot!

And it can shoot far!

All kinds of ultra-long-distance three-dimensional layers emerge endlessly, which is simply shameless.

Zhao Hao, who retreated, glanced at the stunned Clippers bench, spread his hands like a certain boss, and arrogantly spouted trash.

"Come on, you almost stopped me."

71:70
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers finally returned to the leading position.

"They played very well inside, don't let Brand score anymore, we have to press him down, we have to speed up, we have to keep the Clippers' inside busy, otherwise we can't win this game Contest.

Don't make meaningless fouls, Mim, you've already committed 5, well, I'm going to let you take a good rest anyway, Divac resists. "

During the break during the festival, Tang Shuai once again emphasized the defense of the inside line.

Have no idea!Even though the Lakers played well offensively and even took the lead, they have paid too much in order to defend the Clippers' inside line.

Meme 5 fouls. Uh, this guy has so many fouls because he can't defend himself and can only go up to his body.

Odom has also committed 4 fouls, and Butler also committed 3 fouls in order to help defend the inside.

This situation happened at the beginning of the fourth quarter. I have to say that as long as the Lakers inside players foul again, it will be a little troublesome.

The game continues.

beep!
The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Kobe Bryant's thug Brand fouled.

Bryant propped up his knees, stood panting outside the three-point line and watched Brand make free throws.

No way, in order to prevent Odom from being committed, Kobe could only do this. After all, in just 6 minutes, Odom also committed 5 offenses.

Swish!Swish!
Made two free throws!

85:89
　The Lakers lost, were unhappy, and won the championship in the next game.
