Chapter 65 Christmas Battle 6
55:55
This is the final score at the end of the first half.

Zen Master made adjustments and continued to let Kobe play singles, but when Kobe shot the ball, Gasol inside went to grab offensive rebounds, while Wei Lai, Ariza, and Odom immediately retreated.

Especially Wei Lai and Ariza on the flanks.

And Bryant chose to delay.

Bryant scored 25 points in the first half, 18 of 10 shots, 55% hit rate.The fans who watched the game couldn't help but have an idea, is Kobe's scoring feast tonight?
Rivers really didn't expect Zen Master to be hard steel with him.

But it is true that Kobe's super scorer cannot be guarded at all.No matter how many, he can always score on your head.

The midfielder, Kobe, Wei Lai, and Gasol didn't return to the locker room immediately. Today is Christmas, and the three of them held transmitters and distributed gifts to the fans.

"Kobe, here!"

"Wei Lai, this way."

"Gasol, here."

The fans stood up and shouted very enthusiastically, although the gift is not very expensive, it is just a heart.

After distributing gifts, the three of them waved to the fans and went back to the locker room.

The second half started.

The Lakers have changed: Kobe, Wei Lai, Odom, Gasol, Bynum.

Celtics: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Davis, Perkins.

Evolution?What the hell are they playing?Rivers frowned.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers started their first attack.

The first ball was directly given to Bynum in the low post, and he singled out Perkins and easily scored 2 points. 57-55.

Zone defense?

That's right, the zone defense the Lakers used in the second half.

Not only that, Wei Lai returned from the top of the arc to the free throw, leaving Rondo with an open shot.

Rondo: "." The inexplicable humiliation, Rondo's head was hot, he took off, stayed in the air, and shot.

"Dang!" Gasol accepted the rebound,

A quarterback passed a long pass to Kobe who was fast-breaking in front of him, and Kobe scored one-stop. 59-55.

Rondo was very embarrassed at this time, still defending exactly the same, Wei Lai let him go directly.

Wei Lai knew very well that Rondo just didn't have the ability to shoot. Even in the later stages of his career, he still didn't develop his shooting ability. After being abandoned by the Celtics, he went to many teams and could only be a substitute.

Although his assists, his defense, and his awareness!

But the shortcomings are very obvious and easy to be targeted.

The Celtics still missed the second offense, and still barely made a shot in 24 seconds.

Bynum protected the rebound, and this time the Celtics did not give the Lakers a chance to fast break.

Seeing this, Odom slowly dribbled the ball across half court.

The Lakers lineup has two ball-holding points: Kobe and Odom.

Bynum came out to help Odom do the pick-and-roll, and two big men did the pick-and-roll, which is very rare.

But the configuration of the Lakers is very abundant.

The pick-and-roll went down, and Odom didn't give Bynum the ball, but gave the ball to Wei Lai in the left corner.

At this time, Wei Lai was vacant.

Pierce just wanted to go to defend the inside line, so he left Wei Lai.

Odom noticed it and passed it directly.

Wei Lai, who received the ball, took off, shot, and stayed in the air.

"When!" Missed, but there were rebounds, Gasol seized a good position inside, took the lead in taking off and clicked, and made a tip-up. 61-55
Rivers: "."

"Pay attention to the defensive rebound." This rebound should not be lost.

The Celtics continued to attack with the third goal in the second half.

Pierce came over to get the ball himself.

Rondo goes to the left corner.

Wei Lai is too lazy to defend, but he must be careful to prevent Rondo from going to the bottom line.

As soon as he silently reminded himself, Rondo started slipping the bottom line.

Pierce, at the top of the arc, used his teammates to pick and roll, and noticed that Rondo slipped to the bottom line, and hit the ground directly.

Think beautiful!
Wei Lai blocked Rondo's ball from behind.

Bynum received the rebound.

The Lakers immediately made a fast break.

Kobe catches the ball and dribbles quickly across half court.

The free throw line made an emergency stop at mid-range, and it was too late for Ray Allen to step forward to interfere, "Shua!" Kobe scored another 2 points, 63-55.

"Timeout!" After being hit by the Lakers 8-0, Rivers called a timeout.

"Just now Wei Lai's cap was so beautiful, he flew out from the back and put it on."

"The Lakers have played an 8-0 attack wave. If the Celtics can't solve the Lakers' defense, it is estimated that they will be in big trouble."

In fact, the biggest defensive strength of this Lakers lineup has not yet come out.

Zen Master replaced Fisher, who was a little weak in defense, and Wei Lai, who was a good defender. In addition, Wei Lai's physical fitness made his defense even better.

Replace Ariza, replace Odom!
This is not for defense. In terms of defense, Ariza's defense is better than Odom's, but Odom is mainly reflected in the offensive end, followed by rebounds. Odom is higher than Ariza.

And Odom has the ability to hold the ball and can help Kobe share!
Now it's Rivers' turn to have a headache, should Rondo be replaced?

"Rondo, you come down first." Players like Wei Lai beat Rondo to death, and put the main defensive burst!

Make Rondo feel like an extra on offense.

Rondo gritted his teeth and sat on the bench. He was very unwilling, but he was himself three times in a row.

Replaced House, adding an offensive point.

But this was falling into Wei Lai's trap.

Pause back.

Wei Lai deliberately released House who was outside the three-point line, as if to say: This place is empty!

Sure enough, the Celtics passed, and of course House would not let go of the opportunity and make the shot.

"Dang!" Missed.

Nice made the right bet. In fact, this gamble has a 50% chance. It doesn't matter if you win, but if you fail, the morale of the Celtics will be hit very hard.

"Quick attack."

This time Wei Lai took the initiative to take the ball, regardless of Ray Allen standing in front of him, he just pulled it up and it was a three-pointer.

Badge on: Ignore distractions.

"Shua!" A three-pointer was hit. 66-55.

Will the Celtics lose if this continues?
I disagree!Pierce stood up.

Under Kobe's tough defense, he hit a difficult 2-pointer, 66-57, breaking the Celtics' scoring panic.

But they haven't narrowed the point difference. If you score 2 points, the Lakers will return 2 points immediately.

The third quarter ended 85-76, and the Lakers still led by 9 points.

The fans at the scene were extremely happy to see the home team taking the lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics never expected to be hammered to death.

Walton, Fama, Odom, each came with 3 points, a direct 9-0 attack wave, and took the game away.

"I don't need to play?" Let Wei Lai, who still wanted to play, give up the idea of ​​playing, anyway, the game was won.

And Kobe Bryant scored 36 points in the whole game, and he had a chance to break through 40 points, but he didn't know that the substitute was so powerful and smashed his opponent.

After the game, the Lakers hastily concluded the post-game press conference, and whoever had time to talk, rushed home for the holidays.

And Wei Lai got into Kobe's sports car and went back to Kobe's big villa together.
