Healing Basketball Chapter 426

Chapter 426 426. Why did the boss come down first?

Wang Zhizhi wanted to send the ball to Kobe, but the 5-second violation was approaching, and Wang Zhizhi had to send the ball to Atkins.

After Atkins received the ball, Liu Xiu and Payton quickly let go of Kobe's speed, making Kobe feel a little...lost?

Atkins moved fast, and Kobe quickly followed.

Ignoring Kobe, who was banging on the back of his right hand and shouting 'Pasmie' in his left palm, Atkins saw that his defender had become veteran Payton, and he was ecstatic to start the singles, and then delivered an iron to live up to expectations...

Payton, who has sufficient physical strength, can play a good role in defending against the top scorers. Atkins' attack choice once again amazed the Blazers players.

This self-confidence is also gone!

Liu Xiu retracted and grabbed the defensive rebound. Encountered by Kobe Bryant's pressing, Liu Xiu poked his **** sideways to protect it and passed it to Payton to advance.

The fast break didn't start, then Rahim made a close-range single on the right side of his three-second zone.

The right sideline followed Liu Xiu's Kobe back to attack, Rahim took two steps, stopped the ball after Kobe's attack was in place, and raised the ball to Liu Xiu, who was at a 30-degree angle on the right sideline.

Liu Xiu catches the ball and hits a three-pointer!

13 to 4, the Trail Blazers lead to 9 points!

After scored, Liu Xiu immediately rushed inside and posted it to Kobe.

I knew it wasn't a coincidence just now! Kobe moved quickly with dirty words in his heart, trying to get rid of Liu Xiu's entanglement.

But Liu Xiu spared no effort in chasing defenses, fighting meleely, and with Payton helping out, it was too difficult for Kobe to catch the ball!

As Wang Zhizhi had to give the ball to Atkins again, the referee's whistle blew!

The interim coach of the Lakers finally reacted and called a timeout!

Atkins, a veteran player, is still quite famous in the industry, undrafted in the golden generation of 1996, self-proclaimed as a guard line scoring type Ben Wallace, 'it is because of self-confidence that I have the current me' is his Famously, he is most famous for fighting Kobe Bryant many times this season.

Irritability is the label of Atkins, Liu Xiu's mouth, even Payton can't stand it, it is normal for Atkins to be stimulated.

But he stimulated Atkins, then went around to defend Kobe and let Atkins catch the ball... This operation shocked even teammates and coaches who were accustomed to Liu Xiusao's operation.

Seeing that Atkins on the opposite bench threw the towel on the chair, the Blazers knew that this trick would not work.

Hollins and Buzdrick are very sorry, Maurice Cheeks is okay and doesn't care too much about it.

A player's tactical response on the court can open up a few points difference, which is already very good. After only playing for more than 3 minutes, the point difference has reached 9 points. What more bicycles are needed.

Finding a way to deal with the Lakers' counterattack is what should be paid attention to at the moment.

Morris-Cheeks didn't make any lineup rotations or tactical adjustments. He just emphasized the points that need to be paid attention to. He only played for more than 3 minutes. It's not technical and tactical to play an advantage. There is really nothing to adjust.

The timeout was almost over, and the players of the two teams returned to the court. Atkins was really replaced, and Terry Brown was replaced. The other four positions were not rotated.

An undrafted pick of the class of 2001, his specialties...no specialties.

Liu Xiu looked at Terry Brown's player detection report and glanced at the all-around teacher on the bench. There was nothing outstanding, and he was average in everything.

The difference is that Derrick Anderson has a good upper-level strength, and it is not impossible to start a weak team.

And Terry Brown, so weak, so weak that it doesn't theoretically belong in the NBA, and that's true when looking at the number of attendances over the past three seasons, which add up to 58 games.

But it is such a player who shoots 35% from the field and averages 2.2 assists per game but has 1.9 turnovers per game. He is actually the second point guard of the Lakers who averaged 15 minutes per game, compared to Atkins, Terry - Brown's only advantage is obedience.

Atkins, Terry Brown, such backline partners, Liu Xiu feels sorry for Kobe... eh? Why can't the corners of the mouth turn upwards? Do you suffer from laughing when you are sad?

The referee blows his whistle and the game resumes.

The Lakers serve at the centerline.

The ball came to Odom, and it was not passed to Terry Brown or Kobe. Odom singled.

Kwame Brown switched and expanded to defend Odom, and was scrambled by Odom's crotch dribble, Odom seized the opportunity to break into the inside!

Randolph was very active to take it back... Anyway, he worked hard, and Odom made a jumping layup!

Odom slammed the ball, and Bryant scolded the street at the time, but after Odom scored, Bryant went up and patted Odom's ass, and he was overjoyed.

The warden who noticed this detail: Bah, it's true, teammates won't roar and grab the ball when they get in.

If faced with the same situation, how would the warden choose? Of course - me too...

It was the Blazers' turn to attack, and the Lakers' defense became very different from before the timeout.

is not about defensive strength, but defensive attitude.

Compared to Atkins, another advantage of Terry Brown is shown - the defensive end is not standing on akimbo.

In other teams' point guards, it's basic and not worth mentioning at all. When it comes to the Lakers' point guard, it becomes an advantage.

Although Terry Brown and Butler's defenses are both poor, the Lakers can now defend five-on-five, and the pinch is executed well!

Liu Xiu, who scored 7 points on 3 of 4 shots at the start, encountered the Lakers' key defense.

He made good use of this point, interspersed with Kobe Bryant, and used the sudden stop and quick start to run around the pile to help Randolph get an easy shot from the bottom line on the right side... Unfortunately, he didn't make it.

Wang Zhizhi protected the rebound and passed it to Odom. Odom turned into a point guard and moved the ball to the frontcourt. This time, it was Raheem who defended Odom.

The one who defended Butler naturally became Randolph.

Lamar Odom passed the ball to Kobe, and Payton continued to choose to break through in singles. Butler actively used screens to find opportunities for outside shots. When Kobe burst into close range, he met Kwame Brown to shrink his defense and Kobe scored. ...not for Butler, who has an offensive matchup advantage. Butler's side was blocked, and it was Wang Zhizhi who received the ball!

Wang Zhizhi made a three-pointer from the bottom corner...in!

9 to 13, the Lakers chased the difference to 4 points!

The Blazers attacked again. Kobe signaled his teammates to shrink their defense. Liu Xiu came out around the baseline to receive the ball and passed it to Payton, who was on the left side of the free throw line.

Fortunately, Kwame Brown successfully interfered with the layup of Kobe who cut into the frame, and the rebound was protected by Randolph, avoiding the dilemma of being overtaken by a goal.

The Lakers retreated very quickly and did not give the Trail Blazers a chance to play a fast break.

But seeing Liu Xiu receiving the pass and advancing steadily, thinking of the steady and orderly defense that the Trail Blazers have always maintained, the Lakers feel incredible!

The Trail Blazers, who started 13 to 4, did not slack off on the defensive end!

But I looked at the teammate who was in command of the defensive position, at the opposite Momoko, Raheem, McDyess, Derek Anderson... and other players who entered the NBA at the same time as that teammate, and once I met that teammate The teammates are the wardens who run wild, and the Lakers players are not surprised.

As expected by the Lakers players, the reason why the Trail Blazers led by 9 points in more than 3 minutes and still did not float is because of that man.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Kobe is not a weak rabbit, but a poisonous snake whose fangs gradually open.

After knowing that Tomjanovich chose to retire, Liu Xiu deliberately studied the video of the Lakers games in which Tomjanovich was out due to illness in the first half of the season, trying to find more ways to deal with the Lakers, and found that something else.

Tomjanovich did not coach in 7 games and lost all of them, but in 3 of those 7 games Kobe was able to play, the Lakers performed well in regular time, but whenever the coach needed to respond at a critical moment, The Lakers did not play well, and the opponents of the Lakers in those three games did not do well in critical moments!

Kobe's strength + Tomjanovich's system + Tomjanovich's ability to adapt on the spot is the '50-win level' for the Lakers to play 20-13 when Kobe and Tomjanovich can play at the same time The key to strength, if one link is missing, will not work.

As Liu Xiu thought, this is the first game for Tomjanovich to leave. During the regular time of the game, the impact of his departure is not very obvious.

What has a greater impact on the game is the player's state and unexpected situations: he was 6 points behind without calling a timeout, and Atkins didn't adjust in time for his scramble.

Under normal circumstances, the point guard changed from Atkins to Terry Brown. In fact, it just changed from weak to weaker. The Lakers' starting point guard position is the third-lowest in the league, which is a negative contribution, only the Eagles. Team's Tony Delk and Hornets' Van Exel are less efficient than Atkins.

Even Alston, the Raptors' much-maligned streetball king who shot less than 40% in his six-year career, is more efficient than Atkins.

Otherwise, Terry Brown would not be the second point guard.

After Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, he encountered Kobe's defense. This time Liu Xiu didn't pass, guarded the ball well, and waited for his teammates to settle down.

It is currently a wave of momentum after the Lakers replaced Atkins, and they have to hold on.

The method is also simple, just score points, the difficulty is how to score.

Tonight, the teammates are very anxious in the long shot!

After coming back from a timeout and failing to make two consecutive mid-range shots, he remembered that it was almost half a quarter, and only he and Payton had made mid-range shots.

The Lakers are now shrinking the defense frame, and even the high-position Payton can be empty, but just now Payton made an iron in the middle... Liu Xiu's off-ball movement is not good, at most it can help his teammates create mid-range speculation Yes, but with this style of play, if you miss two consecutive rounds, someone must stand up and score.

He chose to stand up!

The teammates settled down, Liu Xiu leaned over and dribbled the ball continuously. The dribbling action Kobe was very familiar with was the way Kobe dribbled the ball to find a rhythm.

Liu Xiu pulled to the right, Kobe judged that this was not a fake, and immediately moved to the left... was blocked!

Kobe was so focused on judging Liu Xiu's breakthrough rhythm, he didn't notice Kwame Brown who expanded out of the pick-and-roll!

Kwame Brown is like an iron wall, Kobe is blocked!

However, when Kobe Bryant bumped into Kwame Brown, he saw Odom who came out with Kwame Brown. Kobe decisively chose to switch defenses and cut Kwame Brown apart.

The focused Odom is also ready to expand to defend Liu Xiu's shot, but Liu Xiu moved faster when Kobe was blocked!

Odom immediately stopped and was ready to traverse left to prevent breakthrough.

Liu Xiu accelerated two steps and then stopped, turned around, and made a three-point shot with two steps from the right side of the top arc.

The ball crossed a beautiful arc in the air and plunged into the basket!

Liu Xiu screamed (^o^)/ in her heart.

Although the top arc area is his second best area, it is estimated that he is not at an excellent level when he is singled out. Maybe only the 30-degree angle area on the right has an excellent level.

But he chose to give it a shot, the "General"'s three-pointer +3 after the pick-and-roll, and the rhythm of the shot after the pick-and-roll learned from Nash... Bet right!

in!

But with his inner turmoil, he was still calm on the surface.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe tried his best to clear Liu Xiu's face with a light smile from his mind after scoring a three-pointer. He resisted the urge and started to run to help Odom organize the offense.

Liu Xiu directly shorted Terry Brown to attack Kobe, and then added to Butler.

Kobe received the setter to Terry Brown, who cut in the middle.

Terry Brown went around the top arc and rushed to the free throw line without anyone to block it. It was a perfect shot. He took a jump shot after receiving the ball. cause interference.

But...Terry Brown didn't make it!

Fortunately for the Lakers, the ball hit the neck of the basket and popped out of bounds. The Blazers had no chance to defend and counterattack. The ball was hard. The Blazers grabbed the rebound. Who can chase?

Kobe looked at Terry Brown and suddenly had an idea - it's better to throw the ball directly against Raheem... No, no, no, I'm a team player!

Kobe wants to prove himself this year, and 33 games with Tomjanovich gave him a lot of confidence - team + me, there is a head.

Offense and defense transition, the Blazers attack.

Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced to the front court this time.

Kobe is on the top arc, let's not talk about the team or the team, now, the pressure is so great!

Liu Xiu has scored 10 points on 4 of 5 shots!

Kobe remembered the hapless Ray Allen of the same class, as if he had a super triple-double of 15-for-15? The worst is Pierce, who was hammered for 72 points... Wait, he is not much better! Ate a rookie season with a single game of 60+!

This guy must not be allowed to soar again, he must stop this guy from scoring!

At this moment, Kobe saw that someone was coming to his left, he quickly took a half step up, and squeezed in front of the person to go around the line to prevent shooting... Eh, why is it not so hard?

Kobe spotted the purple jersey!

Odom's genius defense, before the Trail Blazers pick-and-roll enforcer Kwame Brown, extended out and attacked Liu Xiu with Kobe.

But Odom did not expect Kobe to help Liu Xiu block his attack!

Liu Xiu saw the scene in front of her, a question mark appeared, and she was stunned for half a second. She quickly took two steps to the left. Odom was blocked by Kobe. Kobe was furious. pounce.

Liu Xiu only took two steps to pull up and shoot, the distance was not enough, Kobe's defense interfered with Liu Xiu's shot, Liu Xiu's three-pointer!

However, Odom came out, Kobe was on the outside again, and Wang Zhizhi didn't know who to block when facing Randolph and Rahim who rushed in on the inside!

Fortunately, the opponent did not give Wang Zhizhi a chance to tangle. Kwame Brown hesitated and did not follow. The ball hit the basket and bounced in his direction. He took off to hold the ball and hit a tip!

18-9, the Trail Blazers regained a 9-point lead!

Kobe looked at the scoreboard on the technical desk, and co-authored these rounds for nothing!

At this time, the teammate who destroyed Kobe's sanity came...

Odom asked when Kobe Bryant served, "Boss, why did you help the warden to block me... Did you defect behind our backs?"
