The Whip of the God of Basketball

Leon has long realized that the Celtics lineup has no offensive talent. In the first half, they can only trail by four points, most of which can be attributed to the relaxation of the Lakers, especially on the defensive end. , Access to the latest chapter: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ. They led the Lakers by 7 offensive rebounds, and the referee also gave a lot of face. In the first half, they made 6 more free throws than the Lakers. This was in Staples.

But Leon knows that the Lakers will not make such mistakes all the time, allowing Chris Anderson to go back and forth constantly, grab offensive rebounds, and send him to the free throw line. When O'Neal is on the court, the Celtics' offense will be very difficult. There is almost no way, only to rely on Williams' singles and the chances they get.

In the second half, the Celtics want to win, or at the very least, it’s not ugly to lose. There is only one way, and that is to fight **** defense. Since their offense is not good, then pull the Lakers’ offense to the same level and use rich His experience of hitting irons and grabbing rebounds overturned opponents.

But it's easier said than done. If nothing else, O'Neal is almost incomprehensible. At the same time, there is a suffocating Kobe. Kobe made 2 of 8 shots in the first half, completely out of shape. However, if Kobe breaks out in the second half and O'Neal's steady performance, the Celtics have almost no chance of winning, so Leon must bet, use defense to bet, he decided to open a complete defense mode in the second half.

………………

The game restarted. After a break in the midfield, the Lakers players seemed to have a lot of calmness. The golden ‘colored’ uniforms blended with the Staples Center, like five King Kong fighters guarding Los Angeles. The Celtics’ players are like green, ugly, short, dwarf spirits. At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Celtics violated the offense for 24 seconds and booed the ball in the audience, as if Laughing at these untalented guys.

Only Leon clapped loudly from the sidelines, which is also one of his strategies. If there is no good offensive opportunity, he would rather delay the time to the last second, and don't just miss the shot and give the Lakers a chance to counterattack backcourt. In this way, after the violation, the Celtics players ‘handed’ the ball into the hands of the referee, and the Lakers started to grind the ground when they served in the backcourt.

Phil Jackson made adjustments in the midfield. He decided to let Kobe play at the beginning of the second half. If Kobe can find the feeling, then the Lakers can easily rely on the talent to crush the Celtics under the double star.

But in the Lakers' first offense in the second half, Phil Jackson discovered that the Celtics had opened the zone defense.

This is the first season in which the NBA allows zone defense. Many teams have not yet become accustomed to this defensive strategy that has been isolated from the NBA for many years, although many zone defense tactics cannot be played well under the three-second defensive rule. , But a basic 3-2 defense or fake 2-3 defense can still play a special role at special moments, making teammates at a loss.

Sure enough, when Kobe was holding the ball on the right side, he found that there were always two Celtics players waiting for an opportunity on his expected route, but no one specifically ‘door’ to guard him. O'Neal is the same inside, he can feel the threat of double-teaming from Celtics players at any time, and his two basic inward passing routes are blocked.

It is the bottom corner that is not threatened by defense. Both sides have a lot of space in the bottom corner. Both Robert Holly and Fox can easily find themselves in the bottom corner. At this time, Kobe hesitated for a while, he still chose Pass.

He adjusted his pace on the right, accelerated the breakthrough from 45 degrees, Holly made a false screen in front, and then ran to the corner, Kobe made a decisive shot, and Holly made a three-pointer!

"Bah!" Holly's three-pointer was completely inaccurate, leaving only a crisp iron. However, O'Neal got offensive rebounds, and his huge body can grab two positions.

Dalem'Po'te didn't hesitate to foul and didn't give O'Neal a three-pointer. O'Neal looked quite annoyed. He shook his big elbow and glared two viciously at Dalem'Po't. eye. Dalem's ‘Po’te didn’t have any fear, and went head-on with O’Neal. Players from both sides immediately stepped forward and pulled them apart.

O'Neal found that in the first quarter, the guy who was knocked over by himself and looked straight at the casual beating, by the third quarter, the fear of him has disappeared, maybe he still can't prevent O'Neal, but he is not afraid of O'Neal .

Standing on the free throw line, O'Neal missed two free throws as expected. Chris Anderson once again grabbed the backboard. He was in possession of Dennis Rodman in this game. He had already grabbed 12 rebounds in the half game. ball.

The Celtics continue to consume half-court positions, and their offense is not hurried or slow, as if now they are not four points behind but four points ahead. However, such a slow-paced offense is undoubtedly unable to find the "hole" on the defensive end of the Lakers. With 24 seconds left and 1 second away, Anderson barely shot from the middle distance, missed the ball, and O'Neal got a rebound.

The Lakers wanted to launch a fast break. The Celtics retreated extremely fast because they didn't pay too much attention on the offensive end. Basically, as soon as Anderson made a move, everyone retreated.

The Lakers once again face the zone defense. If they can't open the mid- and long-range shooting, it is very likely that the Celtics have no way to do the zone defense, or wait for the game to deepen and the Celtics' own defense becomes loose.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Celtics and the Lakers scored only 7 points in total. The Celtics relied on Williams to hit a three-pointer on the perimeter. On the Lakers’ side, Kobe relied on two breakthroughs. Shengsheng ripped off the Celtics' zone defense, a direct dunk, and a foul that caused Anderson to get two points from the free throw line.

The extremely low scoring efficiency made the audience on the sidelines drowsy and sleepy, but the Celtics became more and more refined as they played, although they were still five points behind, even more behind halftime. A little bit more, but successful defense, constantly forcing the Lakers to strike, made these guys a sense of accomplishment. The main players on the bench have also entered the state, constantly cheering on the benches. In this place where tens of thousands of people are enemies, the encouragement and support of teammates is particularly important.

In this way, the Celtics survived the third quarter. The two sides played 12:14 in the third quarter. The Lakers only scored 14 points, leading the Celtics into the fourth quarter by six points. It did not appear as everyone expected. In the third quarter, the Lakers made a strong effort to take away the Celtics.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, what worries Leon still happened. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe made a mid-range shot from the outside, then made a breakthrough inside the line and made a layup, and once passed the ball to O'Neal. Dunk, the Lakers scored 6 points in a row, the Celtics only relied on Long's mid-range shot to get two points, the Lakers instantly opened the difference between the two sides to 10 points.

This is a very dangerous signal, which means that the Celtics' defense has begun to loosen. Zone defense requires players to have a very tacit cooperation and devote a lot of attention, otherwise one accidentally will miss a big open to the opponent.

What worries Leon even more is Kobe’s recovery. Once this super shooting guard turns on offensive mode in the fourth quarter, the Celtics cannot fight the Lakers without Paul Pierce, because in the fourth quarter, the super scorer is The most efficient offensive tactics.

"Time-out! (Timeout Leon asked the referee on the sidelines for a short timeout of 20 seconds. He decided to completely solve the hidden dangers that Kobe may bring in this game.

……………………

Chris Anderson has hardly rested in this game. With the main players unable to play, Anderson's "excitement" and the cunning learned from Rodman have become the Celtics' greatest wealth in this game.

After the timeout, the Celtics played a beautiful sideline tactic. Anderson took advantage of O'Neal's negligence to turn around and cut inside, and received Alexander's pass and directly received a layup in the air. The Lakers have made a lot of these mistakes tonight, and Phil Jackson has no choice but to shake his head on the sidelines.

After the goal, Anderson was expressionless, did not roar or fly, he seemed a bit too calm, because next he was going to make a move to detonate the audience.

When Kobe once again took the ball from the center and directly hit the Celtics' three-second zone~www.readwn.com~ Anderson swooped over like a vulture that had been circling for a long time, waiting for a long time, he stretched out his arm across Kobe In front of him, and then directly knocked Kobe to the ground.

Kobe almost rotated half a circle in the air and fell heavily to the ground. The audience sitting close to the venue could hear the heavy sound of Kobe falling on the floor. The Staples Arena exploded in an instant, and the audience all stood up. The Lakers all rushed towards Anderson, and the Celtics players surrounded Anderson very calmly. O'Neal walked towards the Celtics like an angry Tyrannosaurus. Perhaps he and Kobe have conflicts, but the premise is that they are all Lakers players and they will be unanimous on the court.

The scene fell into a'chaos', and Stern, who was sitting in the VIP position, also stood up. He can't remember this is the first few times similar things happened to the Celtics in the game recently, and Anderson just now That foul made him feel familiar.

It's still the Celtics and the Lakers, but that was his first term in 1984. In the finals between the Lakers and the Celtics, Kevin McHale vs. Rambis's clothesline The foul is also on the Lakers' home court. Since that foul, the game has completely reversed.

At this time, facing the scene of ‘chaos’ and ‘chaos’, Leon just stood quietly on the sidelines with his arms, as if nothing had happened.
