Chapter 234: Being crushed by the talent of the Bobcats!
In the offensive round, the Bobcats continued to make cakes for the tool man to eat, and finally succeeded in tearing apart the dense defense of the Lakers.
"Dueling Fisher, Paul started, accelerated, stepped down and dribbled the ball to change direction.
The breakthrough went in, and Fisher couldn't keep up with his footsteps. Paul stood out in the space, stopped suddenly, pulled up the ball, and shot a drifting fadeaway jumper..."
Kobe and Su Bei assisted in defense, and there was absolutely nothing they could do against Paul.
Fisher sent it too quickly!
183's offensive talent is so terrifying, but Paul also has a precise mid-range shot. What can you use to top it?
Swish——!
With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Paul made a steady two-pointer.
8 to 7!
"Chris Paul can average 21 points per game this season. As long as he wants to, he can play like Iverson, and it is not impossible to become the scoring champion."
"It's true. Paul is a traditional point guard, but Iverson is a fake. To play the point guard position, you can't just rely on height.
The height of 183 cm still confuses the audience’s first impression.”
Switch to defense, Lakers offensive turn.
The Bobcats' defense shrank, blocking the basket and using their strong mobility to defend the two-point area.
"The axis of the Lakers' triangle offense still poses too great a threat in the penalty area.
Moving screens and pick-and-rolls without the ball can easily attack the Bobcats' basket.
Odom is injured, and it is difficult for the Lakers' two triangle offense points to limit their scoring. However, locking the axis of the triangle offense is still a good choice.
The basketball is handed over to the outside, and Kobe catches the ball and faces the basket. His offensive knife is already thirsty..."
In a triple-threat posture, after taking a step, he dribbled the ball and was followed by Gerrard. Kobe immediately turned his back, shook his shoulders, pulled the ball up, raised his hand and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper...
Swish——!
The reason why superstars are superstars is that they are invincible. It doesn't matter how strong your defense is?
If I don’t want to eat your rice and pour water into the iron, then there is no need.
8 to 9!
The Bobcats attacked, but Paul took a shot, broke through, shook Fisher's defensive focus, ignored Su Bei's defense, pulled the ball up, European-stepped a layup, and used a small throw from horseback archery to send the basketball in
basket.
Swish——!
10 to 9!
No wonder Paul is called "Saint Paul". There is nothing wrong with passing the ball and making cakes. It's just whether he is willing to score points. If he develops his own defensive mode, will he be so successful?
"When the Lakers attacked, Kobe caught the ball and was held up by Gerrard. His back strength was a little lacking. Even if it was strong, it would take a lot of effort.
Kobe made a steady move and passed the basketball to Su Bei.
Stojakovic was a little deep, Su Bei caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
Stojakovic's defense was not good to begin with. He just acted like a turtle and immediately received a sap from Su Bei.
Swish——!
Su Bei's three-pointer was not soft-handed and hit the basket accurately.
10 to 12!
Next, the two sides played back and forth. No one expected that after Iverson, there would be a superstar 183.
It is obviously unrealistic to prepare a point guard quota just to deal with 183.
Doesn't it mean that to deal with O'Neal, we need to always have a meat shield center?
Fisher couldn't grasp the depth of Paul's breakthrough and was broken into a sieve.
"Jackson seemed to be sleeping. Fisher was beaten like this and didn't change to wake up. Isn't this unscientific?
Paul is more of a threat than Iverson offensively.
Compared with Iverson who only scores by himself, Paul can not only score by himself, but also drive the scoring of his teammates.
Fisher is just a score question, and the Lakers' defense can't handle it..."
Bang-dang——!
As soon as the Lakers attacked and Paul had space, he dunked and assisted.
If the Lakers don't double attack, Paul's mid-range shots and layups will also give the Lakers a bruised face.
"What a fat thing?
The Bobcats’ offense is very strong, but the Lakers’ offense is stronger and tougher than the Bobcats’…”
“Kobe’s breakthrough, post-up play, and fadeaway jump shot were so accurate.
Gerrard, who was defensively strong, was stunned.
Kobe's offense is too unsolvable..."
"Stojakovic was also beaten by Su Bei. The precise three-point rain made Stojakovic's defense neither close nor defensive.
Su Bei can move, and the Lakers' triangle offense is not only a pick-and-roll without the ball, but also an infinitely changing triangle attack mode. Just relying on contraction and mobility, there is no way to withstand the Lakers' triangle offense."
In the 7th minute of the first quarter, Stojakovic missed a three-pointer in response.
Then, he was immediately replaced by Luo Yin.
"Brenton Loyin was the Rookie of the Year in the 2006/07 season, averaging 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and he also looked like a superstar.
Hey, the person he came up to face was actually Kobe. That’s right. Gerrard couldn’t stand up to Kobe. He really should try Luo Yin instead..."
But if you try, you will die.
Kobe has reached the ceiling of the league's offensive scoring level. Luo Yin's defense seems to be a little less interesting. After all, he has removed the meniscus on both sides and his physical talent is the same as Kobe's, which is also average. What can he use to defeat Kobe?
You can't stand it?
On the contrary, Su Bei's three-pointer was blocked by Gerrard.
However, Kobe's offense is enough.
After the first quarter, the score was 35 to 29, and the Lakers took a 6-point lead.
Paul scored 8 points, 7 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal. His performance was very good.
It's just a pity that I met Kobe and Su Bei, these two golden guns worked at the same time.
Su Bei made 5 of 7 shots and 3 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 11 points.
Kobe Bryant scored 14 points and his performance was even stronger.
“The Bobcats may have made the wrong choice between ‘four guarantees and one’ and ‘track-style run and gun’.
Chandler has no mid-range shot, Okafor only has a mid-range shot in the penalty area, Gerrard's mid-range shot is also unstable and can only hit the basket. Stojakovic has no tactical support and can only be a shooter.
The status is declining...
It's not unusual for the Bobcats to fall behind the Lakers in a head-to-head matchup.
After all, except for Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have been using the triangle offensive tactic for two years. Generally, results will be achieved after one year of running in. It has been two years since the Bobcats used the run-and-gun tactic with half a bucket of water, which is still a bit reluctant."
In the second quarter of the game, Paul, Okafor and Chandler rested.
Center Ryan Hollins, a second-round pick in 2006, and Jared Dudley, a first-round pick in 2007, rotated out.
Gerrard is an invincible iron man and continues to work.
Stojakovic rested for 5 minutes and was able to play.
Luo Yin took over Paul's position and played the No. 1 position.
For the Lakers, Jackson was a bit idle, and none of the main players were available.
It seems that, except for Kobe, everyone else is a role player, playing on the bench without much concern.
Bynum, Brian Cook, Radmanovic, Walton, Farmar played.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bobcats attacked the ball.
Luo Yin dribbled the ball through Farmar and didn't have to deal with Paul. Farmar was still a little happy in his heart.
However, facing Luo Yin's breakthrough, he also couldn't withstand it and failed defensively.
"Luo Yin made a very sharp breakthrough and scored two points with a close jump shot...
Luo Yin has improved again. Last season was his rookie season. Luo Yin's mid-range shot was not stable yet and he could only hit the basket with the ball. Unexpectedly, after one season, Luo Yin's mid-range shot was already impressive.
It seems that Jordan spent a lot of effort and personally taught a lot of special skills!"
When the Lakers attacked, Farmar passed the ball to Bynum and wanted to bully the rookie Lilian Hollins. Unexpectedly, Gerrard would assassinate him and give Bynum a big blow.
Snapped--!
"Gerrard is so good at jumping.
Defensively, he is omnipotent, he can block shots, grab rebounds, steal the ball, and help defend...
Luo Yin grabbed the rebound and rushed to counterattack. He was so fast that it was like a sharp knife piercing the heart of the Lakers."
Bang-dang——!
Luo Yin dunked and counterattacked and scored two points.
The Bobcats chased for 4 points in a row, and the gap between the two sides came to 2 points.
Although Wharton then stabilized the situation with a mid-range shot, Yin Luo's breakthrough was too sharp.
In the first quarter of the game, Paul smashed Fisher into a sieve. I originally thought that Paul was already very brave, but I didn't expect that Luo Yin was braver than Paul. This is unreasonable to anyone!
After an 11-4 shock wave, the Bobcats, led by Luo Yin, reversed the score between the two sides.
However, Jackson didn't panic when something happened. He didn't know how to take pictures, but he slept soundly.
At the 7th minute of the second quarter, seeing the Lakers go from a 6-point lead to a 5-point deficit, Jackson calmly replaced Kobe Bryant, Su Bei and other main players on the court.
"Jackson works hard during the regular season and engages in incidents to train the players. In the playoffs, he will play very calmly. You said it is not possible. This kind of coaching method is the pattern of the first head coach in the NBA.
Compared with Bo Povich's health-preserving rotation tactics, Jackson's sleep therapy can better enhance the players' immediate combat effectiveness.
Jackson is said to be good at discovering the strengths of role players, and it seems not without reason.
Of course, this coaching method is also a great way to cultivate superstar players.
The only pity is that the Lakers only have one superstar, Kobe. He is already very mature. Such tricks have become useless to Kobe. Of course, he is already used to it..."
At the same time, Bobcats head coach Sam Vincent also made substitutions, replacing Paul, Chandler and Okafor, while Stojakovic and Luo Yin remained on the field.
Gerrard came off the court to rest. At this time, the Bobcats had a lineup that could play MMD breakout tactics.
As a result, Fisher was continued to be promoted to the sieve, and it was still a mixed doubles match between Paul and Luo Yin.
Perhaps because of too much rest, Su Bei's three-point shooting felt cold.
On the other hand, Kobe's offense is still strong, and his sudden and mid-range shots are unstoppable.
At the end of the first half, the score was 58 to 62. The Lakers were 4 points behind and entered the locker room to rest.
"There is nothing wrong with the Lakers' technique and tactics, but they were overwhelmed by the Bobcats' talent, and the score went from leading to falling behind."
