Chapter 426 426. Why did the boss surrender first?

Wang Zhizhi wanted to send the ball to Kobe, but the 5-second violation was almost here, so 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 advanced quickly, and Kobe hurriedly followed.

Kobe, who ignored the back of his right hand and knocked his left hand and shouted "Pasmi" in his mouth. Atkins saw that the one who was guarding him turned into veteran Payton, started playing singles ecstatically, and then lived up to expectations and gave out a single...

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

There is no one else in this self-confidence!

Liu Xiu took back and grabbed the defensive rebound. He encountered Kobe's press. Liu Xiu stood sideways and stuck out her butt to protect him, passing it to Payton for advancement.

If the fast break is not started, then Rahim will play close-range singles on the right side of his three-second zone.

Kobe, who followed Liu Xiu on the right side, took back the attack. Raheem took two steps and stopped the ball after Kobe was in place. He raised the ball and distributed it to Liu Xiu at the 30-degree angle on the right side.

Liu Xiu caught the ball and made a three-pointer!

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

After scoring the goal, Liu Xiu immediately rushed into the inside and stuck it towards Kobe.

I knew it was not a coincidence just now! Kobe was swearing in his mouth and moved quickly, wanting to get rid of Liu Xiu's entanglement.

But Liu Xiu did not hesitate to chase and defend, fight hand in hand, and Payton was helping around, so it was too difficult for Kobe to catch the ball!

Seeing that Wang Zhizhi had to send the ball to Atkins again, the referee whistle sounded!

The Lakers' interim coach finally reacted and called a timeout!

…

Atkins, an old player, is still a very famous player in the industry. The 96 Golden Generation has lost the draft and claims to be a scoring type on the back line - Wallace. "It is precisely because of his confidence that he has who I am now" is his famous saying. His most famous thing is that he has many competitions with Kobe for the right to take action this season.

Irritability is Atkins' label. Liu Xiu's mouth cannot even bear it. Atkins is so stimulated that it is normal.

But it stimulated Atkins, then went around the front defense Kobe and let Atkins catch the ball... This operation was shocked even to Liu Xiushao's teammates and coaches who were used to Liu Xiushao's operations.

Seeing Atkins throwing a towel on the chair on the opposite bench, the Trail Blazers knew that this move was not good.

Hollins and Boozderick were very regretful, but Morris Chicks was fine, and they didn't care much about this.

It is already very good if a player's tactics of responding to the on-the-spot change on the court can widen the difference in points. It has only been more than 3 minutes, and the difference has reached 9 points. What else do you need for?

Finding ways to deal with the Lakers' counterattack is what should be paid attention to at present.

Morris Chicks did not rotate the lineup or make tactical adjustments, so he emphasized the points that need to be paid attention to. He only played more than 3 minutes, and the advantage was not achieved through technical and tactics, and there was really nothing to adjust.

The timeout was almost over, and the players of both teams returned to the court. Atkins was indeed replaced and replaced with Terry Brown. There was no rotation in the other four positions.

A 2001 undrafted draft, specialties... no specialties.

After Liu Xiu looked at Terry Brown's player detection report, he looked at the all-around teacher on the bench. There were no outstanding points, everything was good, and it was very average.

The difference is that Derek Anderson has good upstream strength, and it is not impossible to play as a starting team with a weak team.

Terry Brown is very weak, so weak that it does not belong to the NBA in theory. It seems that the number of attendances in the past three seasons is indeed the case. The three seasons have played 58 games in total.

But such a player who has a shooting percentage of 35%, averages 2.2 assists per game but has 1.9 turnovers per game, is actually the second point guard of the Lakers who averages 15 minutes per game. Compared to Atkins, Terry Brown's only advantage is that he is obedient.

Atkins, Terry Brown, such a backline partner, Liu Xiu felt sad for Kobe... Hey? Why can't the corners of his mouth bend upward? Is it because he has a sad smile syndrome?

The referee blew the whistle and the game started again.

The Lakers serve in the midline.

The ball came to Odom's hands and was not passed to Terry Brown, nor to Kobe. Odom played alone by himself.

Kwame Brown replaced the anti-expansion and defended Odom, but was frustrated by Odom's dribble under his crotch. Odom seized the opportunity to break into the inside!

Randolph actively took it back... Anyway, he worked hard, Odom made a layup with a jump step!

Odom broke out when he received the ball, and Kobe cursed at that time, but after Odom scored, Kobe went up and patted Odom's butt, so happy that he was very happy.

The warden who noticed this detail: Bah, it's so realistic. If the teammates enter, they won't yell at the ball and grab the ball.

If the same situation occurs, what will the warden choose? Of course - I am the same...

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

It's not about defensive strength, but about defensive attitude.

Against Atkins, another advantage of Terry Brown is revealed - the defensive end is not standing with a hip.

It is basically not worth mentioning in the point guards of other teams, but when it comes to the point guards of the Lakers, it has become an advantage.

Although Terry Brown and Butler both have poor defenses, the Lakers can at least play five-on-five defense now, and the pinch-off execution is pretty good!

Liu Xiu, who made 3 of 4 shots at the beginning, scored 7 points and encountered the Lakers' key defense.

He took advantage of this very well, taking Kobe to intersperse the running position, using the emergency stop and the quick run around the pile, helping Randolph get the opportunity to shoot easily from the middle distance of the right bottom line... Unfortunately, he didn't make it.

Wang Zhizhi protected the rebound and passed it to Odom. Odom turned into a point guard and advanced to the frontcourt. This time, Odom was defending Odom and became Rahim.

The one who defended Butler naturally became Randolph.

Odom passed the ball to Kobe, Kobe continued to choose to break through in singles, and Butler actively used the screen to run to find an opportunity to shoot outside. When Kobe broke to close, he encountered Kwame Brown shrinking his defense, Kobe scored... It was not for Butler who had an offensive advantage in positioning. Butler was blocked, and Wang Zhizhi was caught!

Wang Zhizhi made a three-pointer from the bottom corner... and made an inch!

9-13, the Lakers chased the gap to 4 points!

It was the Trail Blazers attack again, Kobe signaled his teammates to shrink their defense, Liu Xiu went out around the baseline to receive the ball, and passed it to Payton, who was receiving the left side of the free throw line. Payton jumped at a high position... It was also ironic!

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

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

But seeing Liu Xiu's steady progress after receiving the pass, thinking about the steady and orderly defense that the Trail Blazers have maintained, the Lakers feel incredible!

The Trail Blazers, who started 13-4, did not slacke in defensive end!

But after looking at the teammate who was directing the defensive position, looking at the Flying Squirrels, Raheem, McDyce, Derek Anderson on the opposite side... and other players who entered the NBA at the same time as the teammate, and the warden who ran away in a fancy way when they met the teammate, the Lakers players were not surprised.

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

The lion also uses all his strength to fight against the rabbit. Kobe is not a weak rabbit, but a poisonous snake whose fangs are gradually spreading.

After knowing that Tom Janovic chose to retire, Liu Xiu specially studied the videos of the Lakers' games in the first half of the season when Tom Janovic was absent due to illness, hoping to find more ways to deal with the Lakers, but found something else.

Tom Janovic lost all of them in 7 games without coaching, but in those 7 games Kobe could play, the Lakers performed well in regular time, but whenever the coach needed to respond on the spot, the Lakers did not play well, and the Lakers' opponents in those three games did not respond well at critical moments!

Kobe's strength + Tom Janovic's system + Tom Janovic's on-the-spot adaptability are the key to the Lakers' strength of 20 wins and 13 losses when Kobe and Tom Janovic can play at the same time. None of them can do without a single link.

As Liu Xiu thought, now is Tom Janovic's first game after resignation. The regular time of the game, the impact of his resignation is actually not very obvious.

What has a greater impact on the game is the players' status and emergencies: 6 points behind are not called a timeout, and Atkins' random plays have not been adjusted in time.

Under normal play, the point guard changed from Atkins to Terry Brown, but in fact he just went from weak to weaker. The Lakers' starting point guard position was third from the bottom in the league, which was a negative contribution. Only Tony Delk of the Hawks and Van Exel of the Hornets' Van Exel's efficiency was worse than Atkins.

Even the Raptors' street football king Alstom, whose shooting percentage is less than 40% in six years of his career, is more efficient than Atkins.

Otherwise, Terry Brown wouldn't be the second point guard.

After Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, he encountered Kobe's defense. This time, Liu Xiu did not pass, protected the ball, and waited for his teammates to take the place.

It is the beginning stage after the Lakers replaced Atkins, so they have to withstand it.

The method is simple, just score, but the difficulty lies in how to score.

Tonight, my teammates performed very urgently in mid-range shots!

After returning from the timeout, he failed to make a mid-range shot for two consecutive times, and he remembered that he had played for almost half a quarter, and only he and Payton had made mid-range shots.

The Lakers now shrink the defensive offensive box, and even Payton can empty the high-level player, and Payton just made a big shot... Liu Xiu's off-ball running style is not good, and at most he can help his teammates create mid-range and long-range shot opportunities. However, if such a play is missed for two consecutive rounds, someone must stand up and score.

He chose to stand up!

The teammates got their positions and Liu Xiu bent over and dribbled continuously. Kobe was very familiar with the dribbling movements, which was Kobe's dribbling method to find the rhythm.

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

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

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

However, when Kobe bumped into Kwame Brown, he saw Odom who followed Kwame Brown. Kobe decisively chose to switch defenses, and defended Kwame Brown to break it apart and cut in.

The focused Odom is also ready to expand to prevent Liu Xiu from shooting, but Liu Xiu accelerates his movements when Kobe is blocked!

Odom immediately stopped and was ready to move left at any time to prevent breakthroughs.

Liu Xiu accelerated two steps and stopped. He turned around and made a three-pointer on the right side of the top arc. Odom had just stopped urgently, but now he couldn't do it if he wanted to pounce again.

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

Liu Xiu shouted in his heart\(^o^)/.

Although the top arc area is the second best area, it is estimated that if you pick it up alone, it will not reach an excellent level. It may be that only the 30-degree angle area on the right is excellent.

But he chose to fight, "General"'s pick-and-roll three-pointer +3, and the rhythm adjustment of the pick-and-roll shooting learned from Nash... The bet was right!
To be continued...
