Chapter 163 Victory over the Jazz
In a few minutes of the second quarter, the Jazz were beaten to pieces. They just broke into one and regained some morale, but they were suppressed again by Li Tian's big hat.

It's like a person who fell into the water. He just poked his head out and wanted to breathe, but was kicked down again. The beating was too aggrieved.

With a wave of crazy momentum, the Lakers continued the game in the second quarter.

Neither team made any roster changes.

The Jazz, who received Sloan's psychological massage, once again showed their bloodthirsty side.

Every offense is a pick-and-roll tactic, and Sloan really did a pick-and-roll and played brilliantly.

The one-man pick-and-roll is simply an infinite loop of pick-and-rolls. If they don't get enough room to shoot, they won't shoot. With a few shots, they would rather use up 24 seconds of attack time than choose to shoot to prevent the Lakers from playing fast breaks.

Before the timeout ended, the Lakers had already played 6 fast breaks, and the only fast break played by the Jazz was given a big hat by Li Tian.

The Jazz's tough defense also played out at this time.

Every time the Lakers attack is not as easy as before, the worst thing is Gasol, every time he attacks and grabs rebounds, he has to fight with Okur.

Before halftime, Li Tian didn't get a particularly good shot. He made 3 of 1 three-pointers and scored 15 points.

The score was fixed at 45:60, with the Jazz trailing by 15 points.

In the locker room of the visiting team, it felt like every breath was icy cold air. Everyone lowered their heads and no one spoke.They've given it their all, played half the game without reservation, and are so far behind.

Looking at the dispirited team members, Sloan lowered his head in thought, thinking about how to comfort his disciples.

"Guys, get excited, don't get down, just trailing by 15 points, Mosaic we only scored 65 points in the game, and we ended up winning the series.

Keep up your spirits, we only need to hit a wave of attacks to complete the overtake, get excited guys. "Sloan didn't do anything else, just to get the players excited and cheer up. Otherwise, if you want to win this game, there will be no doors, let alone windows.

The leader of the team's locker room, Kirilenko, stood up, "Come on, we are the Jazz, with iron-blooded defense, and a unique pick-and-roll tactic in the league. It is the strongest team in the league, and no one can stop us from moving forward. , not even the Lakers."

The encouragement of Sloan and Kirilenko made the players who had lost confidence regain their confidence.

"Victory, victory, victory," the crowd yelled.

Immediately afterwards, Sloan took advantage of the situation and began to arrange tactics, "We need to play our own advantages, connect teammates together, be patient, don't worry, just play positional warfare, hit the success rate, and slow down the speed.

To prevent the Lakers from counterattacking, if the opponent counterattacks, even if it is a foul, they must destroy their fast break. "

"Kirilenko, you must keep an eye on that Chinese rookie, don't give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer, and everyone else is ready to help defend.

If he's inside the three-point line, you can choose to help other teammates, get it? "Sloan has raised Li Tian's defense to the highest level.

In the Lakers locker room, Phil was also very cautious and did not relax at all. After fighting against Sloan for so many years, he could not believe that the other party would give up so easily. He knew Sloan well.

"Kobe started the second half, you have to make more breakthroughs, they will focus on the outside defensively, and the inside is our opportunity." Said to Kobe.

Kobe nodded, expressing that he knew that in the first two quarters he didn't make too many breakthroughs, played very easily, and was already eager to try. As a cold-blooded black mamba, only bloodthirsty can reveal his true nature.

"Then they will double-team you on the outside. You must pay attention to avoid mistakes and pass the ball in time. Don't stick to the ball. If Kobe wants to break through, you help open the space. If Kobe fails to break through, you Ambush at the middle distance and launch a fatal blow." Explained Li Tian carefully.

"Paul has opened the outside line, and there is enough space inside to cover for Kobe's breakthrough. If there is a singles opportunity, don't miss it, ask for the ball in time for singles, and at the same time do a good job of team connection." He explained to Gasol.

Recently, the more I watch Gasol, the more I feel. He is an excellent big man with light and elegant inside footsteps, a strong defensive end, and a top-level passing awareness in the league.

"Other players, do a good job of covering and running, and when opportunities arise, don't hesitate, just shoot."

Phil went on to say, "Having played a wonderful first half, we just need to keep playing, this victory belongs to us. At home, there are cheers from countless fans, let us enjoy their cheers."

"Go, go, go." Clapping his hands, he shouted loudly.

The players leave the locker room and the second half begins.

Walking in the player tunnel, I heard many fans shouting his name, and many fans reached out to give him high fives.

His explosive performance just now attracted a lot of fans, and the fans slowly began to get to know this rookie of the Celestial Dynasty.

Regular starters for both teams.

The Jazz, who had regained their momentum, began to play in style, and they were no longer as flustered as they were in the first few minutes of the first half.The offense is very smooth, after all, several players have experienced a season of running-in.

Facing the ski man's defense, Kirilenko hit a pick-and-roll with Deron, and Kirilenko made a mid-range shot.

The Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics have been honed over time, and the tacit understanding between Gasol and the skier at the basket has not yet been cultivated. Occasionally, defensive loopholes will appear, and Deron will catch them frequently.

At the beginning of the second half, Kobe continued to break through the basket with the ball. The Jazz's defense was good, but the impression the Lakers left on them in the first half was so deep that it went deep into their bones.

They didn't dare to double-team Kobe's breakthrough, and it was just to help prevent interference.

A breakthrough without double-teaming, for Kobe, it was tofu mixed with shallots, a piece of cake.

The difference between the two teams has not been widened.

The fans admired Kobe's breakthrough and were hooked. Watching the Lakers game is to watch Kobe. This kind of game is what they want to watch.

Fans chanted Kobe's name from time to time.

After playing 6 minutes in the second half, Phil took the lead to make a change, replacing Kobe, Odom and the skier. Kobe did not rest for a minute throughout the game. ball attack.

But Phil still wants to let Kobe take a break. If there is a stalemate in the fourth quarter, Kobe needs to break the deadlock.

Keeping Fisher and Gasol to stabilize the court situation, Li Tian, ​​Vujacic and Wharton were replaced.

"Paul will play more inside and create opportunities for the outside." Will explain what Phil said off the court, and whisper a few words with Gasol.

Gasol nodded again and again, and said jokingly, "Help me fight under the basket for a while?".

"Fuck off, wait for two years, I'm still growing, but I can't stand the hand-to-hand combat of that big fat man." Gasol's proposal was strongly rejected.

"Hahaha, you should do it yourself, Paul." Wharton interjected and left with a smile.

Gasol was so angry, he secretly said, "We must beat that fat man under the basket." 'Making up his mind, Gasol asked Fisher for the ball.

Using footwork, singles Okur, flexible footwork and one-handed precision passing, Okur ate Gasol's fake fax shots.

Seeing that Gasol was about to make a shot, Okur yelled "Not good!" and tried to block the shot.

Gasol saw Okur take off, revealing a sly smile.After waiting for a while, he raised his hands high and made a mid-range shot.

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Okur was fouled by the thug.

The shot missed, Gasol made two free throws, and Okur got his fourth foul of the game.

Two free throws were hit, the most important thing is that his plot succeeded and Okur fouled.

"You are so bad that you made a foul on purpose." Li Tian, ​​who is familiar with Gasol, stepped forward and asked.

Gasol smiled and said nothing, turned back to defense.

Leave the frantic Li Tian behind.

Sloan didn't dare to bet, so he had to replace Okur. In the fourth quarter, Okur needed to guard the basket.

Had to use Collins to replace Okur, and at the same time replace Korver to increase outside firepower.During this period, Korver's three-pointers were also very good, but they were not taken seriously by the team, because the defensive end was a loophole, and the average playing time was only a little more than 20 minutes per game.

After Korver came on the field, he made a good contribution on the offensive end, but Li Tian kept throwing him away on the defensive end, making it easier to play.

Sloan frowned, really unable to think of a solution to this problem.

Seeing that the Lakers replaced Kobe, Sloan could only take Korver down.

The offensive end is good, helping the team open up space, but it is no match for the defensive end, which is a big colander.Today's league is not in the era of small balls, and fast play does not exist. Now most of them are digging in one by one, and Korver is in a state of being stabbed by thousands of people.

After three quarters, the difference between the two teams at 60:78 came to 18 points.

Sloan was a little helpless, he didn't play out his tactics, and the players had just experienced 6 fierce battles, while the Lakers rested for 5 days and had sufficient physical strength.

Decided to take a gamble. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the full starting lineup will appear.

If the Lakers can't bring the point difference back to single digits in the first few minutes when the Lakers come off the bench, there is no hope for this game.

Odom led the bench, and after a long rest off the court, he faced the main force of the Jazz who almost played the first three quarters.

Farmar gave the ball to Odom near the free throw line, facing Boozer single-handedly, leaning on Boozer, turned around and made a mid-range shot.Boozer, who was physically exhausted, didn't even have the strength to jump up and defend.

Odom is getting more and more excited as he plays, and Phil just wants to use this change to catch the opponent by surprise if he can reach the finals, but he also needs to experiment in the game.

Not only did the starter not narrow the score, but it was pulled apart again.

Kobe, Gasol and others were off the court, laughing and chatting about something.

Li Tian looked back from time to time and chatted with Taylor behind him, and agreed that after the game, they would go for supper together.

Yi Jianlian, who was sitting next to him, was too embarrassed, and began to think about how he would go back after the game was over.Li Tian must drive away with Taylor, what should he do?
"Di!"

In the fourth quarter, neither the Lakers starter nor Li Tian appeared again, and all 12 players scored.

The Lakers beat the Jazz 85-109 with 24 points.

In this game, Kobe scored 30 points, Gasol scored 18 points, Odom scored 16 points mainly because he led the bench to play in the fourth quarter, and Li Tian also scored 18 points.

The Jazz team was defended by the Lakers to only 34% shooting rate, which is surprisingly inefficient.
