Chapter 991 991. The Lakers’ dream backcourt

The Lakers changed their strategy and style of play tonight. They rushed for rebounds. Their core purpose was not to prevent Liu Xiu from getting rebounds, but to restrict Liu Xiu from grabbing rebounds and counterattacking.

But they didn't expect that the Trail Blazers had already begun to make contingency adjustments on this point. After Liu Xiu averaged a triple-double per game, Maurice Cheeks no longer insisted that Liu Xiu must grab rebounds.

The passing ability of Millsap, McDyess, and Birdman is a bit weak. They are on the court and they can block Liu Xiu as long as they can.

The Twin Towers of All-Stars are on the court. If you can, protect the boards by yourself, and strengthen your shot after grabbing rebounds.

This is very different from the way the Trail Blazers have played for a long time.

Such tactical changes invalidated the defensive preparations made by the Lakers.

Zen Master's response is quick and relatively simple - suppress the rhythm, reduce the number of offensive and defensive rounds, and increase the cost of confrontation.

As for the Lakers' offensive teamwork, they actually didn't play well tonight, relying purely on touch.

With 11 of 19 shots in a single quarter, the Lakers felt hot.

Kobe scored 9 points on 4 of 5 shots and 1 of 1 free throws in the first quarter.

…

For the Lakers, Wang Zhizhi had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, David West had 16 points, 11 rebounds, Odom had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists...

The overall feeling of the team tonight was not bad but not good either, and the problem was highlighted.

That’s right for the playoffs!

In Kobe's opinion, this is normal, this is the warden!

Liu Xiu made 6 of 9 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 16 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to 28 points in a single quarter, holding on to the score.

The handicap difference was completely widened!

At the end of the quarter, the Lakers' team offense came out. Kobe made 2 of 4 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws and scored 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block. Deron had 3 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists. Fisher had 5 points.

Guard West had 5 points, Odom had 4 points and 6 rebounds, Wang Zhizhi had 6 points... The Lakers scored 29 points in a single quarter!

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu made 6 of 11 shots in the final quarter, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 18 points in a single quarter, but the team only had 28 points in a single quarter.

Also, these Lakers players, Kobe, Deron, David West, Odom, and Wang Zhizhi, are suitable for the playoffs!

As you can imagine, Deron was scolded countless times during training, "Look at what the warden is doing..."

Kwame Brown had 4 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Randolph had 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, Ray Allen had 17 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Blake had 12 points and 5 assists...

Deron made 3 of 5 shots, including 1 of 3-pointers and scored 8 points.

The roles of Kobe and Deron were reversed, and Liu Xiu, as his opponent, felt there was something!

These two people secretly came up with such a style of play, and they didn't show it until the playoffs!

When did third-year Deron have such comprehensive shooting ability, excellent response awareness and skills...it's really pitiful.

Deron scored 39 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal.

In normal times, this kind of shooting performance is not uncommon for the Lakers. After all, they are one of the top five teams in scoring per game. 110+ points in a single game is normal. However, the Lakers control the tempo and can still perform this kind of shooting in confrontations. It can be seen that the Lakers can

Very adaptable to this rhythm.

However, no matter how strong an individual is, he cannot match the overall strength of his opponent.

After three quarters, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers by 8 points 87 to 79!

In the third quarter, the offense played so well, the defensive end also performed well, and the point difference was only so small. The Lakers were also surprised... not everyone was surprised.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' defensive strategy began to take effect. Randolph and Kwame Brown began to decline. The combination of Birdman and Millsap had sufficient defensive impact but lacked experience and ability. The two offensive players could only add icing on the cake.

There is no singles ability of Randolph, nor the support and mid-range shooting of Kwame Brown...

Liu Xiu performed very well in the second quarter, making 5 of 9 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points in a single quarter, but the team scored 24 points... The Lakers continued their performance in the first quarter, and Kobe Bryant, under the strict defense of the Trail Blazers, scored 12 points in a single quarter.

5 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter. Deron didn't get any assists, but he was fed by Kobe!

Deron made 5 of 8 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, for 14 points in a single quarter!

27 to 24, the Lakers had a 3-point advantage in the second quarter!

In this game, he felt the difference in strength, which was quite obvious.

The two teamed up to beat Liu Xiu, who scored 56 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block!

The two of them also have good hands. Kobe had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, and Deron had 14 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. Together, they led the Lakers to 33 points in a single quarter!

The Trail Blazers have also made adjustments - close the door and release the Warden!

116 to 107, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers and evened the regular season results of the two teams!

In addition to the three of them, there were other players who performed very well in this game.

Kobe and Deron had a brief taste of the "two combo guards swapping roles" style of play. They found many problems that needed to be solved, but it was enough to deal with the current Trail Blazers.

But at least the mission was accomplished.

This is something Kobe learned when he was leading the team alone in the past few years, so he tried his best to train Deron, gave up all his strength on the ball, and actively communicated with the management. After David West joined, he actively communicated with the other party.

Give up part of the right to take action...

The first two wins were indeed due to luck, and those two games felt really good.

Others also shot 4-for-9 from the field.

Kobe and Deron scored 69 points and 18 rebounds together to lead the team to defeat the Trail Blazers. This staggering performance reminded people of Liu Xiu and Ray Allen when they first started working together. They often played such crazy games that year.

Performance.

Kobe scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

In the third quarter, the two continued to fire!

As the two expected, the Trail Blazers couldn't defend them. Coach Bush could think of ways, but he just couldn't defend them and couldn't execute the methods.

“Offensive Triangle:

Kobe Bryant's total score: 38 points + 34 points + 33 points + 30 points = 135 points, the host's total score: 38 points + 25 points + 20 points + 56 points = 139 points, goal 1 has been completed.

Wang Zhizhi's slow-moving style of play is particularly suitable in the playoffs. He can post up in the low post, shoot and pass from the top of the arc, and is very useful in controlling the rhythm.

What troubles Liu Xiu the most is the Lakers' "Dream Chasing" backcourt... The nickname given by the media is much better than the "Supoer" backcourt originally given to him and Ray Allen.

.

Liu Xiu's 56 points in a single game also showed his strength. This was his 18th 40+ and fifth 50+ this season.

Deron definitely suffered a lot when he was with Kobe in the past few years.

The total score of the Lakers: 133 points + 103 points + 111 points + 116 points = 463 points. The total score of the host team: 127 points + 112 points + 119 points + 106 points = 464 points. Goal 2 has been completed.

Host's results against the Lakers this season: 2 wins and 2 losses, goal 3 completed.

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 9000 healing value and 1 talent fragment."

In the last ten seconds of the last quarter, the point difference was actually out of reach, but Liu Xiu still kept his head down and rushed into the paint for a layup. Just because the total score for goal 2 was still 1 point behind, he dared to play hard even in garbage time.

Once...
Chapter completed!
