Almighty legend life

Chapter 160
As soon as the first quarter of the game between the Lakers and the Supersonics ended, some reporters were already preparing to write articles, because the Lakers scored 37 points in the first quarter, but the Supersonics only scored 14 points. With a gap of 23 points in just one quarter, there is no suspense for the Lakers to win.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Liu Han and O'Neal took a rest, and the lineup on the court was completely reduced to a small lineup.

For the Supersonics, during the break in the first quarter, the head coach George Karl did not reprimand the players too harshly, but kept explaining to the players how to play the next game in a limited time.George Karl hopes that Gary Payton can play more in this game. He believes that the key to restricting the Lakers is to limit the performance of point guards. Liu Han must rest in the second quarter, and that is a good opportunity for the Supersonics to chase points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Gary Payton entangled Nash. Nash was not Payton's opponent in terms of physical fitness or experience. He was completely restrained by Payton.The Sonics took the opportunity to play an efficient offense. Wen Baker and Schramff kept attacking the Lakers' flawed inside line.

The Sonics attacked, Payton dribbled the ball, and all the other players pulled away. Payton directly turned his back to Nash, and then sat down and hit him step by step like a center. Nash's chest hurt when he was hit by Payton, but There is always no way to stop Payton's impact.

Kittles saw that Payton was approaching the three-second zone, so he stepped forward to pinch. Payton took the opportunity to hit the ground and pass the ball to the empty Jose Hawkins. Finley covered the block, but Hawkins was experienced and passed the ball lightly to Wen Baker, who took the ball and jumped directly to dunk.The Lakers' defense was completely torn apart by the Sonics.

In less than 6 minutes in the second quarter, the Sonics narrowed the gap to 15 points. The Lakers' offense fell into chaos after Nash was completely restrained by Payton.

George Krent called a timeout, but he did not replace Nash during the timeout, nor did he intend to replace Liu Han.George thinks this is a good opportunity to make further reforms to the team. Now that Nash is completely locked up, the Lakers' offensive routines have stagnated, but George hopes that other Lakers players can organize offenses on the court. Players can become the starting point or ending point of the offense. This is the Lakers that George hopes to see.

"Guys, do you feel like you don't know how to play when you have the ball now? Remember when we practiced before the season started? Every one of you is a point guard, I think so, I hope that every one of you Be able to think like a point guard after getting the ball. As for how to do it, you need to make your own decisions after playing, and I believe you will give me a satisfactory answer.” George is an incarnate psychiatrist, and he did not tell the players How to do it, but just tell the players why to do it. As for how to do it, George completely leaves it to the players themselves.

George Krent's words did not immediately change the situation on the court. On the contrary, it made the Lakers players even more confused. Without a core, the Lakers players didn't know how to play anymore. They were used to Liu Han and Liu Han. With the presence of O'Neal, at critical moments, they just waited for Liu Han and O'Neal to play, but now when they need to attack by themselves, they feel a little uncomfortable.

When the second quarter reached 8 close to 10 minutes, the Sonics narrowed the score gap to 7 points. The Lakers made more and more mistakes on the court. They have made [-] turnovers since the second quarter.

However, George Krent still did not let Liu Han and O'Neal play, but replaced Nash and replaced Ray Allen.

After Ray Allen came on the court, he took possession of the ball. Although he had never played a point guard before, he had trained with Liu Han and Nash for a long time, and he still knew how to play point guard Ray Allen.

At this critical moment, Michael Finley was the first to change. He no longer went to the inside to ask for the ball, but took the initiative to receive the ball from the outside, and then began to try to master the rhythm with an unskilled but stable dribble.

With the changes in Finley, the Lakers gradually found the feeling of the game again. Every player also began to think about where to pass the ball if he was a point guard when running.

The Lakers quickly regained control of the rhythm of the game. Finley held the ball in a high position, and Horry could cover, which opened up space for Finley to break through. The Sonic defense line, Kittles and Brent Barry also began to intersperse.

Finley relied on the cover of his teammates to find a breakthrough space and went inside. Ray Allen was open at the bottom corner on the weak side. Finley quickly shifted. Kittles received the ball with no one within two meters of him, raised his hand and dropped it, and hit a three-pointer. The Lakers reappeared and opened the score to more than ten.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers still led the Sonics by 13 points. Although the players of the Lakers only found the feeling in the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, the feeling of the game made the Lakers really mature. Then there is a team with Liu Han and O'Neal as the core, but every player on the field is the core.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Liu Han and O'Neal, who had rested for a whole quarter, returned to the court. After the two of them played, the Lakers' offense became unstoppable. No matter how good Gary Payton was, he could only defend one person. There is nothing the Lakers can do about this overall offensive tactic.

Liu Han did not take possession of the ball again after playing, but let Ray Allen continue to play the point guard, but in fact, it was Finley, who played the fourth position, who really controlled the rhythm.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Lakers re-opened the gap to more than 20 points. Liu Han did what he did in the NCAA on the outside, running along the three-point line non-stop, pushing the Supersonic The defense is messed up.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers have basically established the victory of this game.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Sonics were still trying to counterattack. They increased their defensive actions, but this was of no avail. With O'Neal's free throws getting better, the Lakers are no longer worried about the opponent's foul tactics, and now the league is also supporting the Lakers Team, they will not let the Lakers suffer in this game.

When the game progressed to 7 minutes into the fourth quarter, George Karl replaced the main players of the Sonics and gave up the game.

最终这场焦点大战以湖人队呃胜利而告终，他们以112比98战胜了超音速队，同时湖人队也追平了前辈张伯伦和杰里韦斯特在71-72赛季创造的33连胜纪录。

Every next game of the Lakers is likely to create a new winning streak, and, according to their current state and game tactics, the Lakers are likely to surpass the Chicago Bulls at the end of the regular season. A record of 95 wins and 96 losses.
