Chapter 375 Suffocating Defense

Being blocked again, Paul doubted himself at this time.The first time he was blocked, it can be said that he was too confident. The recent game was too smooth. He also underestimated Li Tian's jumping, and he paid the price for this.

The second time he blocked the shot, he was still not cautious enough, and Kobe completed the block; the third time, his signature pull-up jumper was blocked again.Being blocked in a row, he didn't know how to break the game.

No matter how he attacked, he was blocked again and again, which made him lose confidence.

Both teams put on substitutes at the same time.

"Paul, you must be steady. Don't lose confidence just because you are blocked. You are the boss of the team. You want to lead the team to victory. If you can't even adjust your own state, are you worthy of being the boss of the team? ?” Scott chose to use Mongolian medicine for severe cases, and tiger and wolf medicine. It is only a matter of time before he loses this game.

Paul is not such an easy player to beat, even when confused.Scott's words rekindled the fire in his heart, and he understood that if he wants to become a real star, he cannot be defeated by his opponent.

At this moment, Paul is like a dead tree in spring, "I will not be defeated, no one can defeat me."

Clenching his fists tightly, those dull eyes suddenly glowed, and hope was rekindled.

When Paul raised his head and looked at the field again, hope was rekindled, but it didn't mean he really had the hope of winning.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded, and the referee signaled that the Hornets' offense was timed out and the 24-second offense was violated.

Devin Brown, at this moment, felt that the Lakers' defense gave people a feeling of suffocation.Every time he holds the ball, he feels that the next second, he will be taken away by Farmar who is defending in front of him.

"Great!" Li Tian shouted, cheering for the substitute players.Today's Farmar feels like a different person, and every attack and defense is like a vicious dog's defense.

"Touch!" James Posey made a shot from outside the three-point line, and under Ariza's interference, he made a three-pointer.

Odom grabbed the rebound, passed the ball directly to Farmar, and scored a fast break layup.

"What happened in Farmar today? It feels different from usual!" Li Tian looked at Sun Yue.

He didn't answer, and pouted at a beautiful woman behind the bench.

After turning around, following the direction of Sun Yue's mouth, a strange beauty was sitting in the back.

Instant realization: "So that's the case, it really is, men and women match, work is not tiring, the stimulation of the opposite sex is always so unbelievable."

"That's right, Sun Yue, look, do you need to be stimulated like this? If you do the same, can you play some classic games?" Can't help joking.

"I, let's forget it. It's not like you don't know our concept. Although the old saying is, start a family and start a business, but now it's different. My career has just started. If I start a family now, I will definitely be distracted. Wait for me When will I be able to start the team." After saying this, Sun Yue may know that he has no chance to become the team's starter at the Lakers, at least in the last few seasons, and quickly added "The worst It must also be an important rotation player, otherwise I will not consider this issue!"

"After all, you still have self-knowledge. If you really want to wait until you hit the starting lineup before considering who you are, then you will definitely not have any hope in the next five years!" Is Fisher, there is no hope, he is old, but the ability is beyond doubt.

"Hey, there is still some hope for the main substitute players!" Self-knowledge is still necessary.

Against Odom's defense, Armstrong made a strong shot and hit the iron in the mid-range shot.

Odom grabbed the rebound, and Farmar and Vujacic, with a screen behind him, quickly advanced halfway.

Another fast break layup.

"The Lakers' defensive counterattack is so beautiful. Their defense made Huang Feng's substitute feel suffocated! Smith, how many times have they played a defensive counterattack? The fifth or sixth time?" Barkley rattled Mouth.

"You miscalculated. This is the seventh time they have played a defensive counterattack. They successfully scored 7 points in 7 defensive counterattacks!" Smith also thought, is this still the Lakers team?
How do you feel that there are some similarities with the Suns back then, the only difference is that the Lakers have a higher shooting percentage, much higher than the Suns in the running and bombing era.

On the Hornets bench, "Posey, defending Lee, are you confident?" Scott watched the finals several times last season. He also knew that Posey was old, but this was the only thing he could do. Take it out and defend Li Tian's players.

At the beginning of the game, Posey was very worried that the coach would arrange to defend Li Tian, ​​and he had tried his best to shrink himself in the corner.He has no confidence in this defensive matchup.

Silent response!
Just shake your head!He has no confidence!
Scott's heart turned cold. Posey, who is good at defense, has no confidence. It cannot be said that he has no confidence, but a complete loss of confidence. He was abused in the finals.

Scott locked his eyes on Peja.

"Coach, let me do it!" He, who defended Kobe at the beginning, may be the best choice. Posey is the same age as him, but he still has confidence in his heart.

"Okay, Posey, how about you defend Kobe?" Scott stared at Posey, this time, if he refused again, he didn't mind throwing the tactical board in his face, and then told him , he will be traded.

"Okay!" The voice was so small that only a few people around could hear it.

If it is really defensive, Kobe at this time may be more difficult to defend.But for Posey, this may be the best choice. Kobe is more about attacking with the ball and making breakthroughs, and rarely moves without the ball, so letting him defend may be the best choice without too much For the running position, you only need to use the defensive Kobe to break through.

After coming off the bench at 35:50, the point difference widened again.

Scott, calling another timeout, substituted the starter.

"Paul, you must be steady and sort out the team's offense!" Scott urged again.

Paul gave the ball to West, facing the siege of Bynum and Gasol at the basket, and Li Tian behind him, blocking the possibility of him jumping up and passing the ball.

"Dick!" Under the huge defensive pressure, West made a three-point shot.

"The Lakers' defense is simply suffocating. This reminds me of the Bulls back then. Even in that year, the Bulls' defense was so suffocating!" His eyes were filled with regret, that is the hateful Bulls , Let him lose his only chance to win the championship.

West, yelling "This is a foul, he hit my hand!"

Nobody cares.

Bynum quickly serves the bottom line.

Li Tian broke through with the ball, changed hands and dribbled under the crotch, and then Gasol rushed towards Peja's weak side. After realizing that his first step was slow, he still followed Li Tian tightly.

so fast!Peja thought in his heart.

Trying my best, I didn't lose my position, and still couldn't keep up with Li Tian's breakthrough.

As a former All-Star, Peja will not give up. The Hornets' defense is nothing in Li Tian's eyes.The Hornets players will never give Li Tian an easy chance to score. At this moment, Chandler has already started to move sideways!

Seeing Li Tian preparing to take off, Peja was behind him and followed suit.Chandler, who has already occupied the defensive position, is also doing a good job of blocking Li Tian!
Get up!

Eurostep!
leap!

Aerial Tomahawk Slash!

Peja, who was behind him, had already taken off and had no time to stop, hitting Li Tian.

Li Tian lost his center of gravity. He obviously lost his center of gravity in the air when he was hit, but he still relied on his sky-defying bounce to overwhelm the flying Chandler and smash the ball into the basket!
"Bang!"

The ball hit the basket heavily, then hit Chandler, and Peja behind him hit Li Tian's arm hard!

With a snap, the sound is very crisp!
"Dick!" Peja's thug, the referee in the corner, could see clearly that the foul was obvious.

Extra penalty hit!

"Man, your dunk is so cool! You dunk Chandler!" Kobe smiled happily.

"Unbelievable, that's Chandler, Chandler taller than me!" Bynum shouted.

"There is another one added to the list that was detained by Li Qi, and he is definitely not the last!" Barkley said.

Without too much celebration, Paul has already dribbled the ball past halftime.

Fisher stuck close to Paul's defense, and it was extremely difficult to advance even one step.In this way, Paul remembered that last season, the playoffs against the Spurs reminded him of the four games he lost.

The opponent's defense is like a shadow, and there will always be defenders around.And the Lakers facing today, instead of always maintaining one person, there will often be two defenders. No matter where the ball is, there will be Lakers players, giving them the strongest pressure.

As soon as he got beyond the three-point line, Kobe came over and blocked all of Paul's passing routes.

West could only step forward and take the ball hand-in-hand from Paul.

After catching the ball, Li Tian moved to a high position and blocked West in front of him. At this time, he didn't even have a chance to make a shot.West held the ball tightly in his arms, and there was no chance to divide the ball. The angle of attack was completely locked by Li Tian.

"Pause!" Scott quickly called out the timeout.

The team's offense stalled.

"The Hornets were stopped by the Lakers again, and the Hornets couldn't play offensively, even if they have a top point guard like Paul!" Barkley shouted.

After the timeout ended, Paul ran several times in a row before receiving Chandler's sideline serve.

The ball was given to West at the basket, and Gasol quickly came to him, stuck to West, and did not give him any time to shoot.

The last chance to attack came from Chandler, who pulled down the outside line. West could only distribute the ball to the outside line.Glancing at the shot clock, he had to make a shot.

"Touch!" Chandler shot him, the first three-pointer of his career. As you can imagine, the three-pointer hit the iron.

Kobe grabbed the rebound, made a fast break, and scored again.

Scott wants to cry, but the young Hornets have seen such a formation in the regular season!
"The Hornets have been forced to such an extent by the Lakers. Chandler pulled down from the three-point line and shot a three-pointer!" This kind of defense, if you switch to that team, you will only have the rhythm of being stopped.

Hornets players watching Kobe Bryant come back from a fast break dunk.

His eyes were full of despair, only Paul had light in his eyes.

After receiving Peja's pass, Paul once again came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.
