Chapter 162 Every step is a new history
After the first quarter of the game between the Lakers and the Nets, the two sides tied at 33.In the first quarter, O'Neal of the Lakers performed well and scored 15 points and 5 rebounds. Kobe of the Nets played bravely and scored 16 points.

However, in the last period of the first quarter, the Nets played very averagely. Their internal strength was too weak, and they were succeeded by continuous strong attacks by O'Neal.

Entering the second quarter, Liu Han was replaced. George hoped that Liu Han could limit Kobe's performance. Kobe scored too many points in the first quarter.

After Liu Han came on the court, he began to press Kobe closely. His current physical fitness is enough to keep up with Kobe's speed in defense.

The Nets still implemented their usual tactics, but Kobe began to have the idea of ​​competing with Liu Han after Liu Han came on the court. He began to attack Liu Han with the ball. The shape began to appear chaotic.

Liu Han's strategy for defending Kobe is very simple, that is, sticking to Kobe. This is the first defensive strategy he learned, so Liu Han is very good at limiting Kobe's shots, and Kobe's speed is not enough to completely throw off Liu Han. Han, and Kobe's mentality changes made him too impatient. Under Liu Han's interference, Kobe's shooting rate dropped rapidly.

Cassell and Van Horn had already rested at this time, and Kobe was playing with the Nets' substitute on the court. Now Kobe is misfiring, and the rest of the Nets have no chance to make a phone call. The Lakers took the opportunity to play an offensive climax.

Since the beginning of this season, the team with the most efficient counterattacks and the most times is the Lakers.The height of the Lakers is indeed not high, but every player has good physical fitness, which makes the Lakers have a high success rate when rushing to grab rebounds, and every player on the Lakers is very motivated. Young people, so the Lakers have the advantage of counterattacking.With the rebounds guaranteed, the Lakers integrated their speed into the counterattack. The sharp impact and tacit cooperation made the Lakers invincible in the counterattack.

Less than 4 minutes into the second quarter, Nets coach John Calipari had to replace Cassell and Van Horn in advance, and he also replaced Kobe, who was getting hotheaded.

The game continued, Liu Han controlled the ball on the field, Ray Allen ran to the corner on the weak side, and O'Neal also played after resting for nearly 8 minutes.The Lakers are starting to return to the tactics they used to play in last season's playoffs.

With enough space for pitchers and O'Neal to help cover, Liu Han began to increase his speed, and he began to attack the Nets inside like an assaulter.

With a strong body, super fast speed, and unpredictable dribbles, all these make Cassel not Liu Han's opponent at all.

The head coach of the Nets, Calipari, had no choice but to let Kobe play again. Now Kobe is the only one in the team who can limit Liu Han's performance a little bit. Anyway, Kobe defended Jordan last season.

After Kobe came on the court, he started to defend Liu Han. Although the effect was not great, he could keep up with Liu Han after all.

The scores of the two sides gradually opened up as the game progressed.By the end of the first half, the Lakers had led by 16 points.

During the halftime break, George adjusted the team's tactics. He asked Liu Han to reduce his shots in the second half, and let Finley take the lead. Nash controlled the ball. .

This tactic of the Lakers is a traditional Eagles tactic.The high position support of the fourth and fifth positions allows the second and third positions to have many opportunities to intersperse and run. However, the Lakers are slightly different in that the team's main attack point is the fourth position.

Finley has been doing well since joining the Lakers. Compared to Dallas, which is full of cow dung, Finley prefers the lively and fresh air of Los Angeles.Moreover, the atmosphere in the Lakers team is also very good. Liu Han's easy-going and O'Neal's humor make the atmosphere in the Lakers team very harmonious. In addition, the head coach George Krent is different from other head coaches. The Lakers made it easy for Finley, even if he wasn't the core.

The game continued in the second half. The Lakers attacked first. After halftime, Nash handed the ball to Finley, who supported him in a high position. Liu Han and Ray Allen changed positions poorly at the bottom line. At the bottom corner on Finley's side, there was no one around. Finley passed the ball in a timely manner, and it was in Liu Han's hands immediately.

Liu Han caught the ball and hit a three-pointer immediately, and the score gap came to 19 points.

The Nets attacked, Cassel dribbled the ball halfway and was about to rush Nash, Nash stuck Cassel from the side.

Cassell squeezed away Nash and tried to make an inside throw, but O'Neal's replacement was immediate, so Cassell had to pass the ball to Van Horn, who caught the ball and made a mid-range shot. It is Van Horn's specialty, and he feels good about shooting from mid-to-long distances.

In the third quarter, the game went on like this. The Lakers' defense was not too tight, which gave the Nets a lot of opportunities. When the Nets were completely unable to stop the Lakers' sharp attack.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers still led the Nets by 14 points.

Kobe's attitude towards this game is like defending Jordan in last year's finals. He tried his best to defend Liu Han, but Liu Han never confronted him head-on, which made Kobe very upset.

"Hey, don't you dare to take cover? Come on hard like a man, don't make me look down on you, your girlfriend is much harder than you." Kobe said unprofessional trash talk, he tried to stimulate Liu Han, let Liu Han fight him one-on-one.

Liu Han ignored Kobe's trash talk, he was very familiar with it now, and would no longer make jokes like before, but Kobe's words still made Liu Han feel a burst of anger.

The Lakers attacked, and Liu Han took the initiative to ask for the ball outside. Nash saw Liu Han's uncharacteristically asking for the ball and immediately passed it to Liu Han.

After Liu Han took the ball, he turned around and leaned against Kobe, and Kobe became excited. It seemed that Liu Han was stimulated by his words.

Liu Han dribbled the ball with his back and slammed into Kobe one after another. Liu Han, who has undergone intensive training, is now physically stronger than Kobe who has not gained weight. Kobe was pushed back by Liu Han, but he Still stubbornly against Liu Han.

In fact, if Kobe had experience at this time, he could follow Liu Han's impact and fall to the ground. The referee would have a great chance to call Liu Han an offensive foul, but the stubborn Kobe did not do so, but tried his best to fight against Liu Han.

When Liu Han squeezed Kobe to about one meter outside the three-second zone, he suddenly turned to the baseline. Kobe was afraid of Liu Han's fallback jumper. flew over.

After avoiding Kobe's block, Liu Han easily made a shot.

When Kobe ran to Liu Han again, Liu Han said: "My girlfriend has the final say on whether it is hard or not. As for you, I am not interested in that." Liu Han has now learned to deal with some trash talk head-on.

Liu Han's words made Kobe annoyed for a while. He wanted to hit Liu Han with the ball alone, but with his current status in the team, it was difficult to get Cassel's pass.

The Lakers always controlled the rhythm of the game in the next game. Although they had loopholes in defense, which allowed Van Horn to score a lot of points, with the outbreak of Liu Han and O'Neal, the Lakers kept their advantage. Hold until the end of the game.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the New Jersey Nets 118 to 106 and won their No.30 four-game winning streak.

The young Lakers have broken the records created by their predecessors. They will be remembered in history. Whether the record of 34 consecutive victories ends here or can be further extended, everything depends on the state of the Lakers themselves. Every step of their next step is making new history.
