Chapter 484
The Lakers players, on the second day after the game, all of them flew to Houston.

The next day, I came to the rented training hall early and began to prepare for the competition.In yesterday's routine training, Phil basically arranged all the tactics that could be arranged, and then rehearsed them again.

"Sweep! Sweep!" Someone shouted in the locker room.

The players turned this sentence into a slogan, and seeing 74 wins in the regular season, they still failed to satisfy their hearts.They also want to win the trophy with a record of winning the playoffs.

The golfers really began to swell, and Odom was the most swollen. In the last game, he did a good job in both scoring and defense. On the other hand, Bynum's performance was like a pile of crap!
Seeing the performance of the players, Phil's heart suddenly clicked, and he had a bad premonition.Although the team won the first two games smoothly, they were not facing a normal mosaic pair, so he was still worried about this game.

If it was just an impromptu response, he felt that even if five Adelmans were tied together, they would not be all of them.But if Mosaic returns to its original style, the team will not be so easy to play.

He hopes to win, but even more, he hopes that the team can let go of the burden in their hearts.If it wasn't for the 73 wins at the time, he would have let the main players rest in rotation, and there would be no situation where Bynum was almost unable to catch up with the playoffs and Kobe's finger injury worsened again.

But if he can easily win the game, he doesn't mind setting a new playoff record.

Even in the last game, Bynum was beaten by Yao Ming, but Phil is still not ready to change the lineup.On the one hand, he hopes that Bynum can gain some experience. Although the other possibility is extremely slim, Phil still wants to try it, that is, he hopes that Bynum can use this game to break Yao Ming's opponents. limits.

At least he can compete with Yao Ming, so that Bynum will not lose confidence when facing Yao Ming in the future, so that he does not even have the courage to face him.But obviously, Phil is a bit whimsical, counting on Bynum to beat Yao Ming, it might as well look forward to the ram giving birth.

Mosaic made changes.

"Brooks, I know you are very strong, but it is difficult to play all of you in the starting lineup. Therefore, after discussing with the coaching staff, I hope you can lead the bench and blow them up during the time when the bench is on. Let the team establish a sufficient lead.

The outcome of this game will be determined by the substitute players you lead, so I hope" Adelman found Brooks to talk alone before the game.

His purpose is very clear, which is to let Brooks play the substitute with anger, but he cannot be filled with anger, which will lead to confusion and loss of correct judgment.At the same time, praise Brooks, at least so that he will not have any troubles in this round of the series. As for what will happen next season, he will not even think about it. Whether they can continue to stay in Mosaic next season is up to them is unknown.

"Okay!" With his arms unable to twist his thighs, Brooks could only choose to bow his head, his heart burning with anger.

Two hours later, the game officially started.

When Li Tian just walked out of the player tunnel, countless familiar voices came from his ears.Some of the voices were calling Yao Ming, and some were calling his name.

Suddenly, I had a feeling in my heart, coming here, how does it feel, the cheers are louder than the cheers at home.I feel like this is my other home court, and I keep waving to the fans.

"Li, what's the matter? Why are you cheering so loudly here!" Gasol, who has played countless away games in the playoffs, felt that his IQ was not enough. This was the first time he heard it in an away game. The fans shouted the names of the players of the visiting team, but it was not a curse, it was clearly liking the sound.

"This is a secret, I must never tell you!" He made a gesture that could not be said.

"Damn, why, I must know, tell me quickly, why." People are like this, the more you don't tell him, the more he wants to know, Gasol is also a normal person.

"Okay, then I'll tell you, because I'm handsome, do you need any other reason?"

This shameless look, Gasol thinks that he is incomparable. If this is not the playoffs, he will definitely pull Li Tian back to the player channel, have a fight and then come back.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, just look at the people shouting his name, and you will know why!" Kobe saw the problem at a glance, and interrupted the chat between the two, he couldn't see it, such a shameless look.

"Damn it, Li, you're done!" Gasol squeezed Li Tian's neck under his armpit.

This smell is really unusual. Even Gasol just took a shower before playing.

"Let go of me quickly, I surrender, let me go quickly!" Li Tian, ​​who already felt suffocated, could only surrender helplessly.

"Hmph, you're smart, do you think I'm handsome, or you?" Gasol took the opportunity to ask.

"You are handsome, you are the most handsome, you are so handsome that the coffin boards at home can't cover it, you are even more handsome than a cricket, let go!" said in a mixture of English and mother tongue.

But Gasol didn't care so much, when he heard that he was handsome, he let go and released Li Tian from his armpit.

"Pfft!" A discordant voice sounded, and Sun Yue laughed, he understood Li Tian's words.

"Let's go, let's go, the game is about to start!" I quickly said haha.

The home team's bench, this game is very important to the team, Mo Gou also came to the bench, on the one hand, to encourage the players, and of course, to release the pressure.At the same time, he is also thinking about next season. After two games, he already knows the problem of the team, and he wants to say something to make a comeback, unless a miracle happens.

For them, the best thing is not to be swept away. This game is an extremely important game.

"Guys, you are powerful mosaic players. They are not invincible. Yao can beat their insides to pieces. Victory! It will belong to us!" Mo Gou, who was sitting behind the bench, shouted loudly for the players Come on.

Embarrassing, extremely embarrassing, the players just glanced at him, did not make any reply, and continued to listen to Adelman's latest arrangement.

The game officially begins!
Mosaic starters: Lowry, Battier, Artest, Scola, Yao Ming;
The Lakers are still the regular starters and have not made any changes.

"Director Zhang, Mosaic made a change. In such an important game, they suddenly changed the lineup. Can you tell me why?" Yu Jia said.

"Haha, this is a normal situation. The side that is behind will definitely make some changes in order to use the surprise soldiers to win the game.

In the last game, it was obvious that the Mosaic team lacked a traditional point guard. Although Brooks scored well, he had no effect on the control of the court.Although Lowry is a substitute player, his ability to control the court must be stronger than Brooks, and at the same time, he must be stronger than Brooks on the defensive end.

Brooks is assigned to the bench, then his defense will be weakened, while scoring ability will be magnified! "Director Zhang analyzed.

"So that's it!" Yu Jia responded with a shocked expression.

"The game has started, let's wait and see, Yao Ming won the jump ball, and Mosaic launched the first attack!" Director Zhang said.

Lowry held the ball in his hands. Fisher looked at Lowry with disdain on his face. After all, he is no different from a rookie. Although he is not a star, he has been in the league for so many years, so he can't help feeling contemptuous. Heart is also normal.

When Phil asked about Li Tian and Lowry, he didn't hear it, otherwise he would definitely not have any contempt.

Relying on his relatively strong body, he accelerated past Fisher's defense in one step, but Li Tian had no choice but to come over to help defend.

While breaking through, Lowry never forgot to observe the positions of his teammates. He knew very well the reason why the coach asked him to start.

He didn't panic when he saw the defense come up like he did in his rookie season. After more than two seasons as a substitute, he has become more calm and better able to seize opportunities.

The non-stop training is just for today, and finally has the opportunity to start in the playoffs, and he will never give up this opportunity.

Li Tian obviously realized that he had made a mistake. Lowry was not Brooks, his passing was better, and his footstep changes were even more mysterious.

With a flip of the wrist, the ball was passed from Li Tian's side to Artest who was open.

After receiving the ball, he didn't rush to make a shot, but also broke through with the ball. Seeing that Li Tian couldn't return to the defense, Kobe had to leave Battier behind and rushed towards Artest.

Seeing the defense approaching, he quickly passed the ball to Battier who was open. Fisher desperately rushed towards Battier, but it was still too late, coupled with his lack of height.

After receiving the ball, Battier took a deep breath. He was a little panicked. After all, his shooting percentage in the first two games was a bit horrible.But he has no other choice, he has to shoot, because Fisher will pounce on him in the next moment.

Joining the ball, taking off, and raising the hand, all in one go, the familiar feeling has returned.

"Shua!" A second later, the basketball passed through the net.

0:3 Mosaic hit a three-pointer in the opening game.

"Great!" Mo Gou roared from the sidelines.

"The outside line of Mosaic has finally opened up. I don't know if Battier's three-pointer can continue!" Director Zhang said.

In the first two games, because of the extremely poor outside data, Mosaic caused Yao Ming to be double-teamed inside.If Mosaic can open the perimeter, it will definitely force the Lakers to change their defensive strategy.

"Defend! Defend!" Yao Ming, who usually seldom talks on the court, shouted loudly at this moment, reminding his teammates.

After Shane Battier hit a three-pointer, there were shouts and shouts in the arena. The fans, even if they came to support Li Tian, ​​couldn't help it. They followed the home fans and cheered for Mosaic. After all, they were also supporting Yao Ming!
Looking back, Li Tian failed in singles, and Yao Ming grabbed the rebound.

The Lakers players who won two games in a row are really a bit drifting.Not only Fisher's defensive quality has declined, but Bynum's problems have frequently appeared.

In 2 minutes, Yao Ming mentioned the high position and made a pick-and-roll for Lowry.

Then he turned around and headed towards the basket. Bynum forgot to follow Yao Ming. Lowry hit the ground and passed the ball to Yao Ming. With no one guarding him, he made an easy layup.

Seeing this, Li Tian, ​​in order to appease Bynum, broke through Artest's defense, and gave the ball to Bynum who was open. Maybe the last time Yao Ming blocked his dunk, he felt a shadow in his heart. He had to choose a jump shot, for fear that Yao Ming, who was two meters away from him, would suddenly jump out and block his dunk.

"Touch!" A clear voice sounded, Bynum made a shot and hit the iron, and Yao Ming easily rebounded.

"Shit!" Phil, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help shouting in a deep voice.

Although starting to make adjustments.

"Bynum, wait for a while, take advantage of the dead ball and replace Bynum. I don't want to see Yao scoring so easily and receiving rebounds so easily. Remember to talk to Paul after coming on the court!" Said After finishing, he couldn't help shaking his head.

He already had a panoramic view of the changes on the court.From the first attack, he could see that Fisher was careless, and even Li Tian, ​​who was calm in one item, seemed a little unprepared to face Mosaic's sudden change and defend Lowry's breakthrough.

Significantly, he glanced at the mosaic bench and felt that Adelman still had something, but felt that this did not fit Adelman's character.

In any case, the situation on the field has already exceeded his expectations, and he must be prepared to deal with it.

Artest held the ball and was not in a hurry to attack. In two consecutive games, under Li Tian's defense, his breakthrough effect was very poor. He also began to reflect and felt that he should not blindly adopt strong attacks and needed to change some strategies.

Waving Lowry, with the help of the pick and roll, came to Fisher.

At this moment, Fisher felt like crying, why everyone came to beat him today.

Even with a sad face, he was still vigilant, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest when facing Artest.

Relying on the strength of his body, he squeezed away Fisher's defense, but facing Gasol, who came to make up the defense, he also gave Scola the first time. After he received the ball, he immediately gave it to Yao Ming.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Bynum was fouled by the thug.

Yao Ming got two free throw opportunities.

"The Lakers took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Odom replaced Bynum. This is obviously to increase mobility. Practice has proved that Bynum's performance against Yao Ming is not generally bad. Phil should have done this long ago. !" Director Zhang felt that Bynum should not be given a chance in this round of the series.

To be honest, it's not that Phil wants to make Bynum face Yao Ming, but that Gasol's physical fitness is not enough to face Yao Ming normally, and Bynum is a spare tire that consumes Yao Ming's physical fitness.

Yao Ming made two free throws and led the team to gain a 15-point lead at 21:6.

The sudden change of Mosaic received miraculous effects, which not only disrupted the Lakers' defense, but also magnified Bynum's loophole, reducing Yao Ming's physical consumption.

"Guys, Phil asked us to strengthen our defense, and we must not give it to the opponent." Odom greeted the Lakers players to his side, whispering about Phil's arrangement just now.
