Healing Basketball

   Chapter 701 701. Throw me the ball!

   Relying on the rotation lineup to deal with Princeton of the Lakers, trying to use Payton, Stevenson, and Mourning to consume the opposite side. This is the strategy Morris Cheeks has been implementing tonight.

   Facing the Lakers, which is mostly young players, and following Kobe, the lonely boss of the team, they can burst out with super impact from time to time. The Spurs, Pistons, and Pacers have all suffered big losses.

   Therefore, the tactical concept of the Trail Blazers in this game is-it doesn't matter whether the scene looks good or not, the important thing is stability!

   It's just that, at the end of the quarter, the Lakers failed to hold on!

In the following time, Kobe made 3 of 4 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, and fed Odom two cakes. The Lakers played a climax of 11 to 6 and chased the score to 84 to 85. , Maurice Cheeks called a timeout!

   What are you afraid of?

  In Morris Cheeks’ view, the most terrifying thing about the Lakers is not their Princeton style of play. The Lakers lineup is far inferior to the original Kings.

  The strongest thing about the Lakers is the defense of the Lakers team. Kobe can make the ball!

  There is also the psychological warfare of Zen Master, just like now, pretending to fight Princeton, but actually using West Coast tactics.

  Egg pain is egg pain, Maurice Cheeks doesn't panic.

   There is a master on the opposite side of the magic stick, and he also has a warden!

  The Trail Blazers will send all the starting five tigers.

  For the Lakers, the top five starters continue to play. If there is no accident, their starting lineup will play 35+ minutes in this round of the series.

   Back from the timeout, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer to help the Trail Blazers stop the decline, with a score of 88 to 84.

   Kobe made 6 of 9 three-pointers tonight, and his performance was too strong.

  But Ray Allen has also made 5 three-pointers!

   Immediately after Kobe's right side of the three-second zone attracted the pinch ball, Wang Zhizhi turned around and went to the basket, received the ball and made a layup.

The Lakers' style of play looks similar to the first quarter, but the details are quite different. After so many matches, Liu Xiu can already tell the difference easily. I like the style of play.

Make a decision 3-4 seconds after receiving the ball, either shoot it, or send an assist to the basket, or return it to the top arc teammate, will not hold the ball and dribble, dribble until you see who can catch it The ball is sent out for teammates to shoot.

  So the triangle offensive tactic, even if the offense is played badly, there will be no tactical stagnation on the scene, and it is easier to seize opportunities.

   Tactics have many advantages, but the disadvantage is that they need a Jordan or Kobe.

   When the Trail Blazers were attacking, Liu Xiu came out around the baseline, received the ball on the left side of the three-second zone, did not stop, turned around suddenly to avoid Kobe who was chasing and defending, and then broke into the inside line again and hit Wang Zhizhi for a layup.

  Wang Zhizhi felt miserable, Kwame Brown could detain him, Randolph could chisel him, and the warden who took him to get the bronze medal also stared at him and beat him.

  But all opponents know that the two positions of small forward and center are the weakest points of the Lakers, so they must not stare at them.

  The Trail Blazers had a clear idea of ​​on-the-spot response, strong execution, and the effect was very good, curbing the momentum of the Lakers' counterattack.

  The Zen master was anxious when he saw this scene, but there was nothing he could do, so he simply closed his eyes.

  He has already done everything he can do. The opponent is watertight and plays so steadily. He is just a coach. If there is no way, there is no way.

  Facing the Trail Blazers' flanking, supplementary defense, and assistance defense, Kobe, who has played for 40 minutes, can only focus on scoring.

  In addition to Kobe, the most stable pitcher for the Lakers is Caron Butler, but Ray Allen's defense is the type that can't be defended but is difficult to make mistakes, Butler's natural enemy.

  Although the five starters of the Lakers tried their best, they just bit the score and kept the hope of a comeback, but there is hope that no one can stand up to provide more help to Kobe or make a shot.

   At 10 minutes and 55 seconds into the game, Kobe jumped inside and confronted Kwame Brown...and was knocked to the ground.

  Although he didn't get a foul and was hit by a butt, Kobe made a layup this time!

   Just, 101 to 106, the Lakers are still 5 points behind the Trail Blazers.

   With 1 minute and 05 seconds left, the Trail Blazers are so steady tonight, and the 5-point difference is tantamount to a natural barrier for the Lakers!

   When it came to the Trail Blazers' offense, the tactical coordination was carried out steadily. Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown launched an offense with a pick-and-roll.

  After breaking into the inside line, Liu Xiu passed back to the outlaw lunatic who circled to the free throw line, and Odom expanded to make up the defense.

  The extrajudicial lunatic turned to a sudden breakthrough...he was intercepted by Odom!

Odom counterattacked directly, Liu Xiu, the outlaws, and Kwame Brown struggled to catch up. Liu Xiu went straight to the opposite basket and slammed Odom in the middle, but failed to steal, but did not stop. The basket acts as a humanoid roadblock.

  Outlaws and Kwame Brown followed up with Kobe and Caron Butler, respectively.

   But Odom stopped at the top arc and chased a three-pointer...hit!

  The offensive and defensive transition, the Trail Blazers attack, Randolph receives Liu Xiu's pass from the bottom line, turns and retreats and shoots out of the frame, the rebound is accepted by Deron, and the Trail Blazers quickly retreat.

  Deron advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Kobe. Kobe was just about to play singles when he saw Odom asking for the ball.

  Odom's clear eyes, it's rare to see them for a minute in 10 days!

  Kobe quickly passed the ball to Odom, Kwame Brown had a keen sense of crisis, and pressed it up, but Odom took a quick step horizontally like a small guard, and made another three-pointer...and hit again!

  107 to 106, 11 minutes and 29 seconds into the final quarter, relying on Odom's two consecutive three-pointers, the Lakers overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout!

  …

   "Remaining time in the game: 31 seconds, the host's team is behind 106 to 107, talent: the wheat awn triggers, the host enters a hot feeling state, after hitting a shot, it will continue to feel hot until it misses the shot or the game ends."

  Odom just made the second three-pointer, and Liu Xiu received a system prompt.

  After the timeout whistle sounded, he immediately walked to the bench, took the tactical board from the coach, and adjusted the lineup and tactics.

   Watching the players surround another man, Maurice Cheeks exploded for a moment.

  Day defense and night defense, always be vigilant, I didn't expect the tactical board to fly at the last moment!

  He hurriedly got among the team members, wanting to see what the warden would do at this time.

   As a result, what I heard can be explained clearly in one sentence-give me the ball, and you guys are going to kill Kobe!

  Liu Xiu chose Fongshu, Ray Allen, Randolph, and McDyess to play together for the last 31 seconds.

  After 11 and a half minutes of five starters on the opposite side, the lineup was finally changed. Butler and Wang Zhizhi were replaced, and Derek Anderson and Mihm were replaced.

   Steady lineup adjustments, strengthened defense, Zen master's intentions are very obvious, but Liu Xiu, as an opponent, has to admire the opponent's adjustments in place, making the best use of the broken lineup of the Lakers.
