  Chapter 778 778. Zen master's control

   Currently leading by 1 point, and the offensive performance of his teammates is better than Liu Xiu's initial prediction, he is not under so much pressure on the Lakers' tactical improvement.

   But Kobe, who is more skilled, made him feel dizzy!

When the Lakers played more smoothly in the triangle offense, Kobe faced the defense of the outlaws. As long as he didn't brainstorm and play singles in the middle and long distances, and attacked the inside according to the tactics, the outsiders couldn't stand it; Stevenson It can beat Kobe to attack the inside, but Stevenson can only watch when Kobe plays singles in the middle and long range.

   But he was not entangled or afraid. This is Kobe at his peak, an amazing player. Facing such an opponent, it is wrong to be afraid. Find a way to beat him!

  Maurice Cheeks made personnel adjustments and sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaw Outlaws, Raheem, and McDyess.

   When playing, Liu Xiu looked at the combination of Deron, Kobe, Radmanovich, Odom, and Wang Zhizhi, and praised the coach who looked sloppy but outstanding.

   After returning from the timeout, the Lakers started playing Princeton as Liu Xiu expected.

The Lakers dared to let go of Caron Butler for the flexibility of salary space, and they were willing because of the introduction of Radmanovic. Neither of them defended. Last season with the Clippers, he averaged 2.1 assists per game. Even in the Princeton system, this pass is enough, and the peak Peja is also at this pass level.

In addition, both of them are players from Serbia, and they didn't play in the World Championships in the summer. Radmanovic, who joined the Lakers, went to Peja to learn how to play Princeton. He made his debut tonight, and he played well. But at least it didn't hold back.

  At 5 minutes and 08 seconds in the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers scored 13 points, 28 points in the first quarter!

   Kobe scored 13 points in a single quarter, Deron scored 8 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, Luke Walton 2 assists...

  However, the Trail Blazers played even more irritable this half of the quarter!

  The Lakers will play Princeton in the first round of rotation, which was predicted by Maurice Cheeks, and the Trail Blazers also started the bombardment mode!

Raheem, who came off the bench, made 3 of 4 shots and scored 6 points. Ray Allen made a mid-range shot and a cut-in layup to get 4 points. 2+1, the outsider made a three-pointer from the corner... The Blazers scored 18 points in 5 minutes and 8 seconds!

   Relying on Liu Xiu's 10 points in the first quarter, Ray Allen's 7 points in the single quarter, and Raheem's 6 points in the half quarter... The Trail Blazers ended the first quarter with a 34-28 lead over the Lakers by 6 points!

  …

  The Lakers played very well, but every player on the Trail Blazers, who had just won the championship ring, was working hard! Even Randolph, who is so fat, scored 4 points and 1 rebound in the first half, overwhelming the Lakers!

   But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers were obviously not that strong. The Lakers played a wave of 9 to 5, chasing the score to 37 to 39, narrowing the point difference to two points.

   Fortunately, Liu Xiu received the ball at close range at this time, showed a wave of footsteps, turned around and made a layup, helping the Trail Blazers stabilize the situation.

But then, Wang Zhizhi made an independent choice in the triangle offensive support. He stepped back and shot from a position one step inside the top arc for two consecutive rounds, and scored two top arc three-pointers in a row. During this period, Blake scored a goal from Liu Xiu. Three points from the wing, but the Lakers still overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point 43 to 42!

   In the following time, the two teams started a tug-of-war. Blake and Raheem performed well. Liu Xiu relied on these two teammates to get 3 assists in a single quarter, helping the team to bite the score.

On the last attack of the first half, Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to break through, stopped and turned around at a mid-distance position at a 30-degree angle on the right side of the three-second zone. .

   Then the Lakers had 3.7 seconds left to attack and failed to score. After halftime, 59 to 58, the Trail Blazers finally gained a 1-point lead thanks to Liu Xiu's mid-range shot at the last moment!

   Entering the intermission, Liu Xiu washed her face, then sat on the toilet and reviewed the situation at work.

   In the second quarter, Kobe adjusted his style of play. With the help of his threat of scoring 13 points on 4 of 8 shots in the first quarter, he scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter in the second quarter.

With the help of Kobe, Deron scored 11 points in a single quarter, Wang Zhizhi scored 8 points and 1 assist, plus Odom's 4 points, Derek - Anderson's 3 points, Magloire's 2 points...The Lakers ranked second Scored as many as 30 points in a single quarter.

  He Warden played very well in the second quarter, scoring 8 points and 3 assists on 3 of 5 shots, leading the team to score 25 points in a single quarter, and successfully helped the team regain the lead at the last moment.

   But this 1-point lead was not due to his 3-of-5 shooting, but his defense!

  The Lakers scored 15 points 4 and a half minutes before the start of the second quarter and played a wave of 15 to 8.

  During this period, the Lakers played well on offense. Their offense from the Trail Blazers failed, so the coach called a timeout to adjust his style of play. He slammed on the defense and limited the Lakers to 15 points in the next 7 and a half minutes.

  Relying on the defense of his teammates, he has the chance to overtake the score with a key ball.

   Reviewing the changes in the performance of his teammates, Liu Xiu found that he was too optimistic when the first quarter ended o(╥﹏╥)o

  When Randolph played again, his offensive performance collapsed badly. He was too fat to play singles well.

  Ray Allen's performance in the second quarter was quite satisfactory after the first quarter.

But the performances of Blake and Raheem were surprising. The former tried hard to seize the opportunity, while the latter... When Liu Xiu saw the player detection report of Raheem, he thought that Raheem would decline further this season. After all, they both fell below First-class star strength.

   But when it came to the official competition, it was very different from what Liu Xiu expected!

Rahim's ability evaluation has declined. It should not be due to the decline in strength. He will only turn 30 next month. In his prime of play, he has completely entered the substitute style of play. style of play.

  Liu Xiu also saw where Raheem really declined—the starting style of play deteriorated further.

  This is inevitable, and there is no need to worry about it.

   What really makes him feel the pressure now is the improvement in the overall strength of the opposing Lakers!

He found that with either Wang Zhizhi or Odom on the court, and Luke Walton in a series of triangle offenses, it was better than Radmanovich and Magloire, and the two who were sent to the bench were not discouraged. , but played exceptionally well tonight!

  Odom seems to be happy to accept the change of playing as a substitute in the peak period. This Liu Xiu can only lament Zen master's control over the team!

  Wang Zhizhi looked very upset and wanted to win back the starting position, but judging from the fact that Magloire only played half of Wang Zhizhi's playing time in the first half, Liu Xiu was amazed at Zen Master's psychological control ability...

  …
