Chapter 136 Don't dare to speed up when you hit the Nuggets!(1/2)
George Carl did not continue to get angry with the players, and he re-arranged his tactics: "The rhythm will be reduced in the second half, Cameron and Kenyon, you two will attack the inside, Allen, you will reduce your breakthrough and mainly defend their fast attack."
"Be careful, you must reduce the rhythm and kill them if you have the chance. It is best to defeat Paul Gasol."
Kenyon Martin, Anthony, and Iverson all nodded in agreement with George Carl.
The Nuggets are in great trouble, and they don’t have many solutions.
Challenging the Lakers away is always full of passiveness. If you continue to attack like this, you will most likely not be able to reverse the score until the end of the game.
The Lakers' conversion ability exceeds the Nuggets' estimates.
Compared with the Nuggets' emphasis on reducing the rhythm, the Zen master of the Lakers said: "Bryant, Zhou, continue to improve the rhythm and change if you have the opportunity. They have always had many problems with retreating and defense, and you have many opportunities."
The Nuggets' defense is not good at all, and after this offense and defense conversion, there are more loopholes. Their leads in the first half are simply because their feel is too outrageous. As long as their feel is slipping, the personal abilities of the Lakers star can drag them down.
The Zen master gradually found a way to let Kobe and Zhou Hang exert their maximum power, which was to continuously make changes, which would continuously release the two of them's personal offensive abilities.
Kobe and Zhou Hang both nodded, and neither expected that the Zen master would give up a triangular attack that he was good at.
The second half of the game started quickly.
Zhou Hang, Kobe, Ariza, Odom, and Gasol.
The Lakers sent out the strongest lineup that can be produced at this stage.
And the Nuggets, Iverson, Creza, Anthony, Nene, Kenyon Martin.
Nuggets' offense.
Iverson pushed to the frontcourt with a rhythm.
Zhou Hang forced himself to defend himself, but Iverson did not rush to play the ball, but instead shouted in a tactical manner: "Press it down, don't rush."
The scene on the field quickly transmitted the TNT studio.
Barkley smiled and said, "The Nuggets dare not fight the Lakers soon."
Smith smiled: "This is a very wise choice. If they run with the Lakers, Kobe and Zhou will defeat them. George Carl is very smart."
Barkley said: "Other teams may be afraid of the Nuggets' offensive ability, but the Lakers are not afraid, they can handle such a scene."
On the field, after a series of long passes.
Nene beat Odom in the inside.
Of course, the Nuggets' inside line has no obvious advantage against the Lakers' inside line, but they are forced to attack like this.
There was not too much fancy, Nene took the ball and hit Odom sideways. Odom raised his hand to interfere, but failed to block Nene's impact. Nene occupied his position and rushed to the basket and made a layup.
65 to 69.
The closer you get to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. As long as the inside defense makes a slight mistake, the opponent can seize the loophole and score the ball.
Odom has been playing in the front line for a long time. Without Andrew Bynum, the Lakers' ability to protect the frame is still a little worse.
The Zen master ignored Odom's defensive mistake and sat calmly off the court. He believed that the Lakers players on the court could handle it themselves.
The Lakers' lineup is very luxurious and there is no need to worry too much.
Lakers attack.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Kobe.
Kobe held the ball at 45 degrees on the right and observed. Zhou Hang and Odom cut inward at the same time, and Gasol brought in cover.
Kobe did not pass the ball, but chose to use Gasol's cover to kill in.
Martin and Nene's defense, Kobe staggered the rhythm of the two, leaned back and pulled up from the middle distance.
Facing the two!
"Swish!"
Decisively hit it!
65 to 71.
This is the iconic Kobe attack, with smooth movements and picturesque postures.
Staples fans cheered.
Fans like to watch Kobe's back jump shot.
Zhou Hang and Gasol also looked at each other.
Kobe played this ball unreasonably, but he was able to score. This is just Kobe's regular style of play.
Nuggets attack.
Iverson continued to push forward with a rhythm.
Iverson gave the ball to Creza, who used the screen and rushed in and passed the ball to Kenyon Martin.
Kenyon Martin ran and took the ball and directly attacked Gasol.
Gasol also failed to stop Kenyon Martin. He took action. Kenyon Martin made a layup after losing balance.
Two plus one!!
67 to 71.
The ball was tough, Kenyon Martin celebrated with a heavy blow.
With a boo.
Kenyon Martin scored the ball.
68 to 71.
Barkley said: "After the Nuggets' tactics change, the Lakers' defense was a little uncomfortable. They made two consecutive strong attacks on the inside."
Smith said: "Look at how the Lakers will play next. Gasol and Odom should not be beaten."
The Nuggets' adjustments were immediate, and Iverson and Anthony were determined to continue to slow down.
Lakers' offense
After Zhou Hang arrived at the frontcourt, he gave Kobe a pick-and-roll to Kobe.
Kobe moved sideways on the right and stepped in, Kenyon and Martin continued to assist in defense. Kobe's position was not good and he did not have a strong shot, so he gave Zhou Hang on the left.
At this time, Iverson was defending Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang quickly hit Iverson sideways at a high position. Just hit Iverson with his body. Don't use his speed to go past him.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Iverson's thin body was hit by Zhou Hang and stepped back step by step.
After knocking down the low position from the high position, Zhou Hang took advantage of the force and turned around and threw away Iverson.
After passing Iverson, Zhou Hang also faced Nene's assisted defense emergency stop and close jump shot.
Nene's defense was almost blocked by Zhou Hang, but it was still almost the same.
"Bang!"
"Swish!"
Beep!!
He shot at a very stable close range, and after shooting, Nene hit the wrist, and the referee yelled the thug.
68 to 73.
Although the ball was taken, Zhou Hang's shooting series did not end completely, so even the thugs would still blow.
"Zhou Hang's close jump shot feels more stable than Kobe."
"Hey, this ability to suddenly pull up is also a talent."
“It’s really easy.”
"You can attack quickly and fight in positions."
The fans watching the live broadcast were also typing to celebrate.
Stand on the free throw line.
"Swish!"
68 to 74.
Zhou Hang directly responded to Martin's two plus one.
The Nuggets' offense comes again.
This time it was still Nene who fought Odom in the inside.
This time Odom was ready. After Nene's impact, the flying layup was disturbed and directly missed, and the rebound was caught by Gasol.
The Nuggets are too obsessed with playing inside, which leads to the Lakers' defense being targeted and well-arranged.
To be continued...
