Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 158 First win of the playoffs

Karl is also an old coach who has coached for more than 20 years. He is used to seeing this kind of star players who are on the top and fall into the quagmire of singles, but there are indeed not many star players who are lost.

Take long pauses to rest.

While helping Anthony find himself, Kerr also needs to arrange tactics so that the players can play more methodically and cooperate.

"You guys need to play more teamwork, increase the conduction of the ball, run the ball, and don't hesitate when you get a chance to make a shot." Karl made regular arrangements and didn't make any special arrangements. He knew that the current lag was caused by Anthony's falling into the quagmire. Yes, just wait for Anthony to recover.

Turning around, he said to Anthony, "Take a rest first, the defensive end consumes too much energy for you. Come on Kleiza, remember to defend Li closely, and don't give him a chance to make an easy shot. If you can't defend, foul early. Don't give him a free throw, let alone an extra penalty."

The Lakers are very relaxed. After all, they lead 14-25 by 11 points, which is a huge advantage. Anthony, one of the two guns, has been guarded and cannot be said to be locked. A star of this level does not expect to be locked. If you can defend for one or two quarters, the team's momentum will be different.

"Your defense is very good. Next, they will definitely let Anthony off the court to rest, wait for the second half of the second quarter to come on the court, and then play more pick-and-rolls to save some energy." No special arrangements were made, and the players played well. That's fine, nothing to tweak.

I just pointed out some problems of running positions, and the rest can be done step by step.

"Director Zhang is now on the side that is behind the Nuggets. What can they do to narrow the gap?" The live broadcast is like this, giving advice to the side that is behind.

"If the Nuggets want to win, the most important thing is to play their style, shoot both shots, and defend the Lakers' offense." Director Zhang said.

This NM is known to all fans, but how do you play your own style?If you want to defend against the Lakers' offense, you're thinking about it. If you can defend against it, can the Lakers explode like this.

Director Zhang went on to say, "In the first quarter, Anthony was a bit on top and kept chasing and defending Li Tian, ​​which consumed too much energy. On the offensive end, he should be played by another individual. He can single-handedly Odom. Li Tian did a good job of defending him.

If you keep attacking and defending like this, it will be unreasonable to play.He needs to put his physical strength on the offensive end, not the defensive end. I think Karl will let Anthony go off the field early to rest and recover first. "

The time-out is over and the game continues.

"Haha, Director Zhang's prediction was too accurate. Kleiza replaced Anthony." Yu Jia said.

Seeing the Nuggets changing formation, Kobe decisively called out to his teammates and said, "Next Iverson breaks through, we have to flank, don't give Iverson a chance to break through easily, and try to avoid fouls."

Iverson launched an offense with the ball.

Fisher tried his best to keep up with Iverson, but the speed gap was too big. Fisher is a powerful point guard, his speed is not good, and coupled with his age, he couldn't catch up with Iverson.

Break through easily and make a layup.

"Ah!" Iverson roared, venting his suppressed emotions in the first quarter.

Nuggets player, after Iverson came up and made a hit, his momentum has recovered.

"Fisher is still old. Among the point guards of the Lakers this year, there is no player who can guard against Iverson. He is too fast." Yu Jia said with emotion. He has seen Iverson in the finals. superman play.

The past is like smoke, but even with his age, he still has more speed than most point guards.

Only Iverson stood out for the Nuggets, and the performance of other players was lackluster.

After halftime, Kobe played Iverson on the roster. This is a long-established strategy, which is to try his best to consume Iverson's physical energy and reduce Iverson's shooting rate.

Iverson's defense is poor, but he doesn't allow the rookie with the 13th pick in the same class to be rampant in front of him.

Try to stop Kobe from breaking through.

The difference in strength and height between the two was too great, they knocked Iverson away, broke through the basket and scored a dunk.

The cheers at the Staples Center rose from wave to wave.

Teammates stepped forward one after another, bumping their chests with Kobe to celebrate.

"The dunk is great!" Gasol raised his hands, touched Kobe's head, and patted his ass again.

Li Tian, ​​who was going to go forward to celebrate, chose to stand silently at a distance of one step away, and did not go forward.

Odom didn't know why.

The last 2 minutes of the first quarter were like Iverson and Kobe's personal show.

Fans who bought tickets to watch the game were hooked, especially those who were a little older and watched the OK vs. digital people, and they felt like they were dreaming back to the past.

At that time, Iverson was the most explosive star in the league, and Kobe began to rise

Carter and Fisher are like background boards, they are broken again and again, but there is nothing they can do about it. They know that they must foul early, and then attack once the opponent activates, the probability of scoring 2+1 is too high.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Nuggets by 22 points 34-12.

During the intermission, Phil looked at Fisher, who was a little disappointed. He also knew that it was difficult to defend Iverson. It can be said that no player in the entire Lakers team could complete it.Li Tian's defense is good, but he is too tall. To defend Iverson would be military training.

"Famar, you go up next and do a good job of defending Iverson. If you can't defend, you can choose to foul early." Farmar can only be allowed to play early. Fisher is too old and needs more rest. He has no advantage against Iverson.

Farmar nodded, eager to try, and was already ready to appear on the stage.

"Kobe, you have to control the breakthrough next. You need to retain more energy. Use your strength in the third quarter to end the game ahead of time. Gasol should do a good job of coping and hit the basket more. Open it, and the inside line will be easier." Phil continued to arrange.

Odom came to Li Tian's side, "The beauty who came to watch you play some time ago, didn't you invite her to watch the game?"

"I invited her, but I'm too busy recently, so I don't have time to watch the game." I also asked Taylor before the game, and the reply was that she was very busy recently.

"That's a pity." Odom glanced at Kohler Kardashian, who was sitting on the sidelines, as if telling Li Tian, ​​how is my girlfriend not bad?

Glancing at the beauties on the sidelines, she felt a little familiar.I patted my forehead and remembered, this is one of the legendary Kardashian family.

Subconsciously took a step back, thinking in her heart, "She is poisonous, everyone in the family is poisonous, it's better to stay away."

However, Odom was not reminded, because even if it was reminded, it would not help, and it would cause tension among teammates.Be more careful and keep your distance.

Just keep the 'poison' away, without being too obvious.

After a haha, I went over to chat with Vujacic.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Karl put Iverson on the bench and let Anthony play.

The Nuggets' offense was still singles. Anthony held the ball and played Odom with his back, causing Odom to foul.

Get two free throws.

Fans used various methods to interfere with Anthony's free throws.

Li Tian stood aside and said, "You will definitely not be fined."

This anger, without making any adjustments, made a free throw and shot out of the frame.

The fans in the arena saw that the interference was successful, and the noise was even louder.

Angrily, Anthony tried to suppress his anger, and Odom, who was standing aside, laughed.

Another missed free throw, Gasol grabbed the rebound and gave the ball to Farmar to advance.

Depressed Anthony had to return to defense.

Gasol watched the two successfully interfere with free throws, but he didn't expect to do this again. He didn't say a single swear word, just one or two words, and the interference was successful.

Looking back, facing Kleiza's defense, it was easier to get rid of.

The bottom corner made another three-pointer.

The point difference continued to expand, and Gasol responded near the free throw line, sending consecutive second passes.

Walton, who came off the bench, also made frequent mid-range shots.

The most comfortable is Kobe. Although there are Nuggets players everywhere, he is the most relaxed, incarnate as a tool man who dribbles the ball across the half court.

The Lakers had an absolute advantage on the court. After only 4 minutes in the second quarter, Karl had to call a timeout again.

Cole is in a dilemma. Kobe can't give up on defense. He will explode at any time. If he is more explosive, then there must be no hope for this game.Li Tian's off-the-ball running, Gasol's offense at the basket, three cups of poison, which one is not good, not to mention the Nuggets' defensive lineup, it is difficult to control even one.

"Iverson, Anthony, let your hands and feet go to attack, and the others will do a good job of defense and grab rebounds." Karl can only bet on this, hoping for a two-gun attack.

Seeing the Nuggets alone, betting on their team's offense.

"Hey, there is no hope for the Nuggets in this game. There is no defense, and the offensive end has not been shot. The defensive end can't prevent Kobe's breakthrough, the inside line can't restrain Gasol, and Li Tian's running position outside, In addition, the other role players also played well." During the intermission, Director Zhang concluded that the Nuggets had no hope of coming back.

"Yes, at the end of the game, the Lakers lead by 45 points 67:22. It is too difficult for the Nuggets to come back. They can't restrain the Lakers' offense, and they can't play their own offense." Yu Jia said with emotion.

The two lost their attention on the court, and began to chat about Li Tian's performance, which people care most about.

After the third quarter, the Lakers completely opened up the point difference. Some fans who were far away from the Staples Center began to leave the field one after another. , lost interest in the game.

Karl also replaced Iverson and Anthony to prepare for the next game.

Phil also replaced all the main players, arranged for a substitute to come off the bench, and finished the fourth quarter.

The Lakers easily won the playoffs for the first time with 104-128.

Kobe Bryant scored 28 points in this game, Gasol scored a team-high 32 points inside, and Li Tian scored 19 points.

"Congratulations to the Lakers, they won the first victory in the series. The Lakers played very well in this game, and Li Tian didn't make random shots. He scored 10 points in 7 of 19, and his performance was very efficient." Director Zhang said, ending the live broadcast of the game .

"Hahaha, this game was played too easily." After the game, Odom said with emotion.

"How does the rookie feel?" Fisher, as the big brother of the team, also cared about Li Tian, ​​and was not unhappy because of being trained by Iverson alone.

"Anthony's breakthrough is too difficult to defend." I couldn't help feeling, although the defense was very good in the first few times, but it was because Anthony underestimated himself, so the defense succeeded. If the opponent went all out, I wanted to do it. It will be difficult to be so good.

"Haha, that's true. His breakthrough is very strong in the league." Although Bryant disdains Anthony's defense, he really agrees with his breakthrough.

Phil saw that the players did not despise each other just because they won the first game easily, and nodded.

At the end of the game, players from both sides greeted each other.

Iverson and Kobe are already a pair of old friends. It was Kobe who shattered his only hope of winning the championship. Now that he came to the East, he still met Kobe.

"I'm going to win the next game," Iverson said.

"Hahaha, wait anytime, I won't release water in the next game." Kobe said.

"It's only interesting if you beat the strongest you," Iverson responded.

"Rookie, you are very good, I remember you, and I will pay you back in the next game." For a rookie who defended himself like this, he also began to pay attention to this rookie.

"No problem, the stronger you are, the more excited I am." He responded with a smile.

"Kobe has my phone number, and we will keep in touch when we have the opportunity."

Li Tian was stunned, what was he doing, he couldn't take revenge in private.

"Don't worry about the rookie, you play very well. I hope to have the opportunity to train with you in the offseason. Your defense arouses my desire." Anthony explained.

He patted his chest and relaxed, 'I'm scared to death, are all gangsters like this? '

[Congratulations to the host, participating in the playoffs for the first time and winning, rewarding 500 points. During the playoffs, the host's point rewards are doubled. 】

Hearing the system rewards, he didn't even attend the press conference, and left directly. He was very happy that the points had increased again, and he would save them for the end of the season.

"UA, drive." The key was thrown to Yi Jianlian. The intensity of the playoffs was different from the regular season. The playing time was not long, but defending Anthony was really tiring.

"okay."

Turn on sports news.

"The Cavaliers with James should not be underestimated in the playoffs. James scored 32 points with all his strength, led his teammates to take off, and won the first game." Yi Jianlian said with emotion.

"Hahaha, Ah Lian, your offseason is too long, remember to train well." Li Tian didn't think there was anything else, it's normal for the Cavaliers to have James win.

"I can watch the first few games of your second round, and then I will go back to China to start training with the national team." Yi Jianlian was a little disappointed, he felt that the training effect in Los Angeles was better.

"Going back so early? The game was no different from what was expected. Without Brother Yao's Mosaic, there is no hope. It seems that the next round will be against the Jazz."

Yi Jianlian was really crazy, thinking, 'This guy only played one game in the first round, so he started thinking about the second round. '

"Well, the Lakers are really strong this season, and the Nuggets can't resist at all."

"When you're gone, I'll invite Brother Yao to watch the finals." Li Tian smiled happily.

Yi Jianlian was furious about it, but there was nothing he could do.

"Should I call Brother Yao to comfort Brother Yao?" Friends, even when you are in a bad mood, it's good to cheer you up.

"You were stimulated by me, and where did you go to Brother Yao to find excitement?" Yi Jianlian's purpose was seen at a glance.

"What are you talking about, don't you care about Brother Yao?" Ah Lian refused to admit it.
