Chapter 682 Defensive Tactic No. 1

After the warm-up was over, the substitutes from both sides took to the court one after another.

Lakers starting: Kobe, Danny Green, Wei Lai, Gasol, Hassan!Exactly the same starters as the regular season.

Rockets starting: Beverly, Harden, Chandler Parsons, Garcia, Dayao.

Hassan and Dayao walked to the center line of the court.

With a beep, Game [-] of the Los Angeles Lakers VS Houston Rockets series in the Western Conference semifinals officially began.

Snapped!
Dayao hit the ball first, and the Rockets got the first attack.

Beverly dribbled the ball across half court, and after half court, he gave the ball to Harden. In fact, although Beverly is a point guard, he is not a tool for ball control, but a defender.

Beverly was put into the starting lineup by the Rockets coach because of his tough defensive attitude. He was called a "mad dog" by the fans. He would always pester his opponents and make them very uncomfortable.

Harden didn't dribble too much, but gave the ball to Dayao inside.

Let the insider Dayao singles Hassan!
At the same time, the Lakers did not let other players go to help, but let Hassan defend Dayao one-on-one.

Dayao used his flexible footsteps to create space for himself to shoot!shot!

"Shua." Dayao hit the board and scored 2 points first.

0-2.

It was the turn of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kobe dribbled across half court.

Glancing to the left, Kobe immediately passed.

The ball is passed to Wei Lai, why give it to Wei Lai?The reason is that defending Wei Lai turned out to be almost 20cm shorter than Beverly.

Wei Lai, who received the ball easily, couldn't help but said: "How much does your coach look down on me? He even sent you to guard me?"

Beverly: "." His face got darker, I want to prevent you!Beverly remembered that the former Catholic coach looked at him affectionately. Beverly, you are the best perimeter defender in the team. Tomorrow, you will be entrusted with the important task of defending Wei Lai.

After hearing what the head coach said, Beverly patted his chest hard and replied: "Coach, no problem, I will prevent Wei Lai to death."

Head coach: "." I don't expect you to prevent Wei Lai to death, I just hope to consume Wei Lai as much as possible.

Beverly couldn't help putting on a defensive posture, his eyes fixed on Wei Lai.

Seeing Beverly's defensive posture, Wei Lai couldn't help but praised: "That's right, the defensive momentum is coming out, but you are not qualified to defend me!" Wei Lai directly retreated to a distance of one meter away from the three-pointer and took off.

What?Beverly rushed over and jumped.

But with Beverly's height and the distance between the two, Beverly's take-off simply interfered with the air and had no effect on Wei Lai.

The ball went over Beverly's head and went straight to the basket.

With a "shua", a super long-range three-pointer was hit.

3-2!

Wei Lai's three-pointer instantly ignited the entire Staples Center, and because Wei Lai had just won the regular season MVP and DPOY, his enthusiasm was overwhelming, and his voice was as turbulent as an ocean wave!
"MVP!" "MVP!" "MVP!".
Wei Lai, who landed, smiled and looked at the Rockets' bench.

The head coach of the Rockets just saw Wei Lai's smile.

Rockets coach: "." This smile made him very uncomfortable, as if he was laughing at him.

Is there a problem with my defense?No!The outside players in the Rockets are: Beverly, Chandler Parsons, Harden, Aaron Brooks, Terrence Jones, Thomas Robinson.

In the previous regular season, Thomas Robinson, Chandler Parsons, and Terrence Jones were all sent to defend against Wei Lai, but it didn't work.

As for Aaron Brooks, don't even think about it, as good as the offense is, the defense is as bad as it is!He was completely abused by the No. [-] position on the opposite side, so the Rockets coach put him on the bench, and it was also because of Harden's arrival, Harden needed the ball!
As for Harden, the Rockets coach certainly wouldn't use his core perimeter to consume Wei Lai. It's okay to defend him, but he can't.

In the end, only Beverly was left, and Beverly was also the best defensive player on the outside of the Houston Rockets.That's why the Rockets coach has such an arrangement.

The camera returns to the court, and it's the Houston Rockets' turn.

Toolman Beverly dribbled the ball halfway, the ball came to Dayao again, and Dayao singled Hassan again.

Hassan kept reminding himself that he had to guard against it this time, and at the same time tried hard to hit Dayao, but Dayao immediately let go of his strength and did not confront Hassan head-on.

In other words, Dayao used softness to overcome rigidity!
"Shua." The hook hit again. 3-4!

"FUCK." Hassan couldn't help cursing.

Wei Lai noticed Hassan's mood, walked over and patted Hassan on the shoulder and said, "Hassan, calm down."

Hassan immediately calmed down when he heard Wei Lai's words.

"Yes, boss."

"Don't worry about the last goal, and continue to defend the next goal." Wei Lai reminded.Hassan nodded.

Wei Lai immediately walked over to Gasol and said, "Pau Gasol, start implementing the plan."

"OK!" Gasol made a gesture to Wei Lai.

Then Wei Lai raised his left hand and shouted: "The next defensive tactic is No. 1." The Los Angeles Lakers on the field couldn't help but nodded.

The Houston Rockets players were stunned.

No. 1 defensive tactic?
Dayao had a premonition that this was aimed at him!But there was no time for him to think too much. At this time, the Los Angeles Lakers had already attacked.

Kobe was lucky at halftime and immediately gave the ball to Wei Lai.

The Rockets sent Beverly to guard against Wei. Isn't this a bonus?So Kobe didn't have to think about other tactics at all, and passed the ball directly to Wei Lai, letting him single-play Beverly.

The other Los Angeles Lakers players on the field pulled away one after another, giving Wei Lai enough space for singles.

Wei Lai dribbled the ball with his right hand and slammed his left shoulder at Beverly.Even though Beverly was fully prepared mentally, the impact Wei Lai gave him made him slide back two full steps.

Beverly was in a daze!
Wei Lai quickly passed Beverly, went in, and took advantage of the fact that the Houston Rockets defense player hadn't come over, and stopped in the middle distance.

"Shua" hit two points, 5-4!

After seeing Wei Lai's attack, the head coach of the Rockets couldn't help standing up, frowning, should he call a timeout?Beverly's defense against Weilai is the rhythm of sending points!The Rockets coach didn't expect this result at all.

mad dog! ! !

Then the Rockets coach looked up at the scoreboard, 5-4!Just one point behind, let's not pause.

When it was the Houston Rockets' turn, Beverly gave the ball to Yao again. It seemed that the Houston Rockets planned to continue Yao's singles tactics.

But the moment Dayao received the ball, Gasol flanked him.

Double team?

Dayao hit the ball in an instant!Pass to Garcia.

Snapped!
But before Garcia received the ball, a hand had already intercepted the ball.

It's Kobe!
After Kobe stole the ball, he immediately fought back, followed by Wei Lai and Danny Green, so fast that the Houston Rockets players couldn't react.

"Shua." Kobe assisted Danny Green and scored a layup, 7-4!

No. 1 defensive tactic?Dayao couldn't help but look to the big screen to see the replay of the ball.
