NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 163 Three Strategies for Pinghu
Kobe only sees basketball, only defensive players, and only the basket. Other people, such as teammates, all disappear in his eyes.

Kobe opened up unlimited singles, a skill that scares countless defensive players.

But today Doug Christie was not panic at all.

He sat off the court and rested for a long time. Compared to Kobe's slightly heavy steps, he was light-footed. He wished he could run a few laps at the last moment so he could sweat comfortably.

It was difficult for Kobe to break through Christie with his feet, so he began to shoot fadeaway jumpers from mid-range.

"Dangdang!"

"Dangdang!"

"Dangdang!"

The basketball kept hitting the hoop, which provided a lot of inspiration for Jay Chou to create "The Little Blacksmith of Milan".

The Kings' three-point shooting touch suddenly returned.

With 2 minutes left in the game, the score became 110:97!

In 4 minutes, Kobe's one-man battle against the Kings came to a conclusion, 7:14, exactly half the score.

Staples Arena was silent, as if it had turned into a library.

Jack Nicholson sat on the sidelines angrily and had no intention of talking trash.

O'Neal had given up on this game in his heart. The King felt so hot. Even if he stepped forward at this time, it would only narrow the score a little and he would not be able to win the game at all.

Forget it, let's support Kobe's stubbornness again.

This little brother is becoming more and more disobedient now, as stubborn as anything, but since he was so obedient in the past few years and helped him win two championships, this game will be left to him.

Even if he wants me to block for him, I'll deign to go out and block for him.

There is no need to blame him.

After returning home to calm down, Kobe realized how big a mistake he had made, and then called in the early morning to apologize.

Isn't this normal operation?

O'Neal is all too familiar with this process.

Right is right and wrong is wrong. Although I am stubborn, I am still reasonable.

After the timeout, the Lakers pretended that the whole team was working hard to catch up with the score.

The Kings pretended to be on high alert to prevent their opponents from coming back.

"Du-du-du-"

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the final score was 113:106. The Kings won a crucial victory at Staples and led the series with a total score of 2:1.

More importantly, Adelman feels he has the password to win!
So in the fourth game of the series on May 5, the Kings adopted Adelman's "three strategies to level the lake."

1. Speeding up the pace and playing more offensive rounds also allows O'Neal to expend more energy on the return run.

2. Limit the shots of the Lakers role players, allowing O'Neal and Kobe to take more shots, which consumes their physical strength.

3. Choose more outside shots and avoid O'Neal's inside defensive strength.

Lu Yuanzhi heard that this tactic was strange, but he didn't particularly understand tactics, and it was impossible for him to take out his mobile phone on the spot, check the tactics, and then confront the coaching staff.

Right, a certain stallion who searched for tactics at the AAU site to guide his son's offense.

From the beginning of the fourth game, the Kings implemented this tactic and fired from the outside.

But today, everyone seems to have divine help, and the shooting percentage is extremely high. Divac made 2 of 2 shots, Webber made 4 of 3 shots, Bibby made 4 of 3 shots, and Lu Yuanzhi made 2 of 2 shots.

In the first quarter, the Kings actually scored a terrifying 40 points!
As for the Lakers, Kobe continued to have bad luck at the end of the last game, missing 4 shots.Hey, do you know how to do the four irons?
Other role players on the Lakers took 6 shots from beyond the three-point line, but none of them hit.

However, after Phil Jackson's summary after the game, he knew that in addition to running back, taking too many shots too early caused O'Neal and Kobe's physical strength to decline too quickly, so for this game, Fisher, Fox, Horry, Walker, George and Hunter took more mid-range shots.

After the idiot George rushed into the paint, he even got the referee's attention. In two confrontations that could be called or not, the referee gave the whistle, causing Divac to commit two fouls early and giving George four free throws. .

At 40:20, the Kings opened a 20-point lead in the first quarter.

It seems that the fourth game is going to be a massacre?
But Lu Yuanzhi, who knew what happened, frowned.

With this penalty, even George can ascend to heaven?

How to wash?
It certainly can’t be called a superstar whistle, so can it only be called a home whistle?
Haha, great, it's the Lakers' home court again, although it's only the fourth game.

Sure enough, in the second quarter, the Kings' shooting percentage began to decline, but they still scored 25 points, while the Lakers continued to get free throw opportunities.

奥尼尔5罚3中，科比4罚3中，霍里2罚2中，费舍尔2罚1中，福克斯2罚1中。

In the second quarter alone, the Lakers got 15 free throws.

how?No more pretending?

It turns out that the set meal brought out in the sixth game will be given to the king once in the fourth game?
Kobe's touch is also improving. In the second quarter, this cauliflower snake made 10 of 6 shots from inside and outside. Christie didn't lose his defensive position at all on 4 of them, but Kobe forced them to score.

Kobe's touch is back!

In the second quarter, the Lakers scored 31 points and recovered 6 points.

The two sides ended the first half with a 14-point difference.

"Fighting well!" In the locker room, Adelman continued to boost morale.

In the second quarter, everyone’s shooting percentage dropped, but isn’t this normal?

Shooting percentages will always fluctuate.

Scored 25 points in the second quarter, which is not too bad and acceptable.

It's just that the Kings are now starting to suffer from foul trouble.

Divac committed 4 fouls, Weber committed 3 fouls, Pollard committed 2 fouls, Lu Yuanzhi committed 2 fouls, Christie committed 3 fouls, Turkoglu committed 2 fouls, Bibby committed 2 fouls, and Bobby Jackson committed 2 fouls.

According to this trend, the pressure to defend O'Neal and Kobe in the second half is enormous.

If you are not careful, you will have to leave the field with 6 fouls.

This is a situation I have never encountered before, but Adelman can't say, pay attention to fouls and reduce your defensive intensity.

Isn't this looking for death?

So, Adelman decided to find another way!

"Chris, Max, Bobby," Webber, Lu Yuanzhi and Bobby Jackson all raised their heads when they heard Adelman's call. "In the second half, you should attack the inside more and find O'Neal!"

Ok?
Looking for the Lakers' strongest interior defense?

Of course, Adelman did not ask his own players to deliver food, but combined the situation at hand with his "Three Strategies to Pinghu".

Aren't we leading by a big margin?Occasionally, if a few goals are not scored, it is not a big problem.

Aren't the first two strategies of the "Three Pinghu Strategies" just to consume O'Neal's physical strength?Then I will add a third strategy to continue to consume O'Neal's energy and see if he can withstand it in the fourth quarter.

Lu Yuanzhi knew that they were rushing inside, and today's referee would definitely not give too many whistles, but if it only consumes O'Neill's physical strength, it seems to be a feasible way.

But, have you forgotten something?
Lu Yuanzhi vaguely felt that there seemed to be a problem with this strategy.
