Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 491

Even though Barkley said so, many media are more inclined that Kobe should have just recovered from his injury, but he has not recovered to his best condition, otherwise he would not have played so badly in the last game.

More people believe that because of Li Tian's injury, he had to carry the injury and persist in the game, which is also for Li Tian to gain more recovery time.

"Shua!" A free throw was made.

Battier came over and said in a low voice, "Artest, let's switch back to defense. You take a break first, and you will defend again in the second half!"

"Why, my physical strength is not a problem at all, and I don't need to rest at all!" Artest felt that even if you were Jordan, I would not agree with what you said at this time.

"No, we have to switch defenses. Look at your fouls. You have committed 3 fouls. There are 2 minutes left in this quarter. If you are called for another foul, your playing time in the second half will be infinitely reduced!" Ba Thiel pointed to the bench.

Thinking back for a moment, I was called for three fouls in the second quarter of defending Kobe. Because he was irritated by Kobe, he was a little out of control and would often shoot with anger. The referee was also looking for the whistle. After all, Odom was the same. Even the substitute The same is true for Wharton, who has 3 fouls.

The first half of the game ended soon.

After discovering that Mosaic changed his defensive strategy, Kobe still singled Artest twice in a row through pick-and-rolls and screens.

At 50:40, the Lakers widened the point difference to 10 points.

On the offensive end of Mosaic, Dayao was defended and double-teamed by Odom and Gasol. The number of times he received the ball was very small, not to mention the offense. Odom was destroyed by an early foul!

Although Yao Ming is on the inside, the Lakers' offense is somewhat limited, but the Lakers' defense is even more heinous, almost cutting off the connection between the inside and outside. The assist streak was broken.What's more, he was prevented once, and the 24-second violation was really a teaching of blood and tears.

In the locker room, Adelman took the data report in his hand and began to make offensive and defensive arrangements.The defensive end is okay, but Artest needs to control his movements. The other arrangements are very good, but the offensive end is really a headache. After Lowry's last game, this game was severely restricted.

In comparison, the Lakers locker room has become relatively relaxed.

In the last game, Li Tian was injured, which cast a shadow over the locker room. In this game, Kobe's performance exploded. In the first half alone, he contributed 4 dunks to announce to the world his return!
"Kobe, break through Artest more, try to make him foul up early, make more points, force opponents not to dare to double-team you. Paul, Odom, must do a good job of restricting Yao , Don’t give him an easy chance to catch the ball, Odom, you should pay attention to the number of fouls!” Phil said.

Bynum has been completely ignored by him, as if he doesn't exist at all, because he can only come off the bench for a few minutes and can't play a big role.

The second half of the game begins!
After the intermission, Barkley found that the ratings of the live broadcast had more than doubled, and it seemed that a healthy Kobe was more attractive.

Adelman discovered Lowry's shortcomings, but he didn't make a substitution. He just kept telling him to protect the ball well, and at the same time look for opportunities to break through a few times. Don't worry about making mistakes. He also started to make big bets, hoping Lowry is capable of some great performances, especially with that magical footwork.

The second half of the game has just started.

Yao Ming just hit the basket hard and made a small hook.

50:42 The point difference narrowed to 8 points.

Looking back, Fisher again handed the ball to Gasol near the free throw line.

Whenever he saw this scene, Adelman was very worried, it was really embarrassing for Yao Ming.He suddenly regretted that Yao Ming shouldn't be allowed to gain weight crazily. After all, O'Neal is old and his dominance at the basket will plummet. However, the game has already progressed to this point, and regret is useless, and he can only wait until next season Besides.

Kobe, who was near the baseline, received a pass from Gasol and played a post-up single, attracting Battier to help defend, and immediately chose to give the ball to Ariza, who was open outside the left three-point line.

Ariza, who urgently needed to prove himself, made some adjustments and made a three-pointer.

"Shua!" The voice was so sweet.

"It is really difficult for Mosaic to win this game. They thought that Li Tian was injured, and they would have a chance to win a game or two. But now Kobe is in full form, and Ariza has already hit two three-pointers from the outside. , although the efficiency cannot be compared with Li Tian, ​​it is indeed a good supplement!" Director Zhang said.

"Director Zhang, what do you think Mosaic should do now?" Yu Jia asked.

"The chances are slim. If you want to break the deadlock, you have to hand the ball to Yao Ming, but the Lakers will not give them such an opportunity, and even if you hand it to Yao Ming, facing the double-teaming of Gasol and Odom, they can play again." How many goals have you scored!" Director Zhang sighed helplessly.

Yes, how many times can you fight so hard.

"Yes, Mosaic has never opened the outside line. Battier's 5-of-2 touch has recovered, but other players, Artest is 5-for-1 three-pointers, Lowry is 3-for-0 three-pointers, and they can't give the inside line at all. Help!" Yu Jia said.

Before Li Tian's three-pointer helped the Lakers win more victories, Phil also made corresponding preparations in advance. After all, he has beaten his opponent in this way, and the opponent can also attack him in turn.Strengthening the perimeter defense was naturally mentioned in Phil's schedule. After a season of strengthening, he finally gained something.

This is just the beginning for Ariza.

Seeing Ariza hit the three-pointer, Kobe just smiled. He felt that if the open space couldn't be hit, it would be of no value.

Artest made a strong breakthrough and was destroyed by Kobe. He had to use Lowry's pick-and-roll to attack again, and beat Fisher hard. This attack accelerated his physical exertion.

One minute later, Ariza from the perimeter, with the help of Fisher's pick-and-roll, got rid of Battier's pursuit, and fired again from outside the three-point line!

Another three-pointer hit the basket.

"Hey, there is no Lee. Ariza, who replaced him in the starting lineup, has defense and three-pointers that are not weaker than Lee, but his ability to create offensive opportunities is lacking!" Smith thought, the Lakers after losing Li Tian, ​​the Mosaic Opportunities will increase.

But now he has changed his mind. Kobe's outburst can only be said to tilt the balance of victory to the Lakers, but Ariza's consecutive three-pointers are to tip the balance to the Lakers, at least this game has been the case.

"Yes, today's Ariza can be called the 'poor man's version of Lee'. If he strengthens his personal offense and defense, he will not be weaker than Lee!" After this game, Barkley commented on Ariza. .

Of course, all of this has a premise that Ariza can maintain his state, so that he can be discovered and paid attention to by other team management.

Continuing to return to the court, Kobe forced Artest, causing Artest to foul again.

Even though he has already restrained his movements, but this is the playoffs, he can't act like a girl and can't even move a hand, then he might as well sit on the sidelines.

But Bryant missed the ball.

Artest had 4 fouls on his back, and Adelman had a headache. He glanced at the bench, and there was no one who could make up for Artest at this time.

He has tried his best to avoid playing against Kobe, but he was still found.

Adelman gritted his molars and made up his mind that Artest must not be replaced, otherwise the game would not be played.He was also keenly aware that Odom of the Lakers had already committed 4 fouls and made a gesture towards Battier.

With the help of a screen, Battier gave the ball to the inside with difficulty and almost made a mistake. If Yao Ming hadn't reacted quickly, the ball would have been intercepted by Odom.

"Dick!" Odom can only send a foul.

Gasol was defended desperately by Scola, blocked in front of him, and failed to make up the defense in time. Fortunately, the foul was earlier, and the number of fouls had not yet arrived, so Mosaic served again.

"Pay attention to the number of fouls!" Bryant went to Odom and said.

"I know, but..." Odom felt bitter, the tonnage gap was too big, otherwise Yao Ming would definitely layup directly and securely get two points.

"I know, but you still have to pay attention, the team can't live without you!" Kobe said in a deep voice.

"I'll pay more attention!" He nodded heavily.

After 1 minute, Ariza once again hit an outside three-pointer.

Throughout the third quarter, this was the fourth three-pointer he hit, with a 6-of-4 shooting percentage, which was terribly high.

"Keep up, we must keep up!" Adelman shouted from the sidelines.

Battier was very helpless. Every time he used Fisher’s pick-and-roll, it was difficult for him to squeeze through. Seeing that Fisher was not tall, but his foot was really solid, he tried to squeeze through several times, but only succeeded once. .

72:58 The point difference between the two teams has widened to 14 points, and Mosaic's life is hanging by a thread at this time.

Just when the mosaic players were paying attention to Kobe and Ariza, Gasol made a cold shot and made a mid-range shot from the free throw line.

It made Mosaic even worse, and the Lakers came up with another scoring point. Yao Ming still couldn't mention the high position to defend, which was really difficult.

"Pau Gasol's mid-range shot can be said to disrupt Mosaic's defense again. I don't know what kind of defense Adelman will adopt in the fourth quarter." Director Zhang said.

Single defense is not enough, unlimited defenses are not enough, and it is difficult to get zone defense. The Lakers also have a good outside shooting rate, and the mid-range shot is not bad.The current Lakers are like a hedgehog covered in thorns. It is difficult to bite from anywhere, and of course it is not without weaknesses.

With a score of 76:61, the Lakers led by 15 points and entered the fourth quarter.

"Yao, Artest, you must attack Odom crazily and try to beat him down, so the Lakers' mobility will definitely decline, and our chance has come!" Adelman said grimly.

"The defense against Ariza must also be strengthened. In the third quarter, he made 8 of 5 three-pointers. If he continues to play, we will have no chance at all in the fourth quarter!" Looking at Ariza's data, he felt that this Nice guy.

Ariza's sudden rise disrupted Adelman's previous arrangements.

The two teams began a tense arrangement, the last quarter of the game.
