Chapter 1107: The lineup of small men!
Paul George defended Kobe, Ariza was pushed to the third position, and Gasol's side was still defended by David West, but He Yiming has been paying attention there, after all, David West's height is not very tall, and he must be a little weaker than Gasol in terms of defense!
Here Kobe Bryant started to attack, facing the No. 24 of the Hornets, Kobe didn't say any trash talk, he had already passed the trash talk stage, and Kobe Bryant had all his attention on offense, where would he say trash talk to stimulate Paul George, a rookie!
I saw Kobe dribble with his right hand, a shake, Paul George was a little nervous, and there was a little problem with the adjustment of the center of gravity! Kobe Bryant is such an old and spicy person, especially in offense, seeing that the opponent showed flaws, Kobe Bryant took advantage of the trend, a cross step, and broke through Paul George!
Paul George can chase Kobe Bryant behind, at this moment, Kobe made an emergency stop, followed by a lift of the ball, Paul George hurriedly pounced, stretched out his hands high, and wanted to block Kobe!
But this is just a feint by Kobe Bryant, I saw He Yiming's supporting legs unchanged, one and a half turned, a little with his right foot, and after turning around, it was a jump shot!
"Brush!" The Lakers hit two points back!
51:48!
Paul George was a little annoyed, he originally wanted to defend the ball well, but he didn't expect to be teased by Kobe!
He Yiming patted him on the shoulder last issue!
Now that the game is in a small lineup, the Hornets are naturally going to take this mobility to the extreme!
Paul controlled the ball, the Hornets came back, this time He Yiming bullied in, pressing Robin Lopez in the inside position, but Paul did not give the ball to He Yiming, but passed it on!
He Yiming looked at it, took advantage of the situation to raise a position, pulled the position of the inside line, Paul George received the ball, he was a little anxious, facing Kobe's defense, he wanted to break through to the inside line with a shake, but Kobe Bryant's left hand clicked, and the basketball came out of his hand!
Luckily, he reacted quickly enough to get the ball under control and pass it back to Paul!
Paul saw that a lot of time had been consumed, and a direct pass was made to He Yiming, He Yiming turned his back to receive the ball, and in the face of Gasol's defense, he directly turned around and stepped sideways!
"Brush!" This ball He Yiming relied on his own ability, and it was relatively easy to score!
Gasol could only smile helplessly, when He Yiming was still on the Lakers before, the three of them, Gasol, Kobe, He Yiming single-handedly, He Yiming's move to turn around and retreat and jump shot is his trick, Gasol is difficult to defend!
He Yiming's shot point is high, and when he turns around, he leans on you, and the huge force suppresses you, and it is difficult for you to defend, and then He Yiming's speed is still very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he has completed the whole action!
"Alas!" Gasol shook his head helplessly and continued to participate in the attack!
After a few rounds, the score difference between the two teams still did not widen, 59:56!
Paul George played a little excited, but also a little embarrassed in these rounds, he originally wanted to perform well in front of his idols, but he couldn't succeed, Kobe Bryant had already scored a few goals on his head, and he didn't succeed in defending a single goal!
Fortunately, he didn't say anything above that he must limit Kobe, just to increase the mobility of the Hornets, although Kobe Bryant was able to easily break through Paul George in these balls, but Ariza's defense was very timely, and the interior defense was also very timely, and it became much more difficult for Kobe to score!
The third quarter of the game passed quickly, the scores of the two teams were deadlocked, and although the Hornets had improved mobility and efficiency a lot, there were still some problems in defense, and the Lakers took advantage of the situation to score a lot of points!
At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams has come to 75:77! The Lakers overtook the score and are currently 2 points ahead of the Hornets into the fourth quarter of the competition!
。。。。。。
。。。。。。
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hornets did not continue to send a small lineup, it was still the old lineup, if the defensive problems were not solved, this lineup should be hidden!
In terms of position, whether it is on Ariza or Marcus Thorton, the shooting is okay, Ariza's defense is better than Marcus Thornton, but Marcus Thorton's offensive ability is stronger than Ariza! Both have their own advantages!
They can also play together, Ariza plays the small forward position, in this way, the Hornets can be considered offensive and defensive balance, and Peja Stojakovic is on the bench, which can support a lot of firepower!
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Lakers still didn't have the advantage of opening the score, and after the Hornets changed the lineup, the defensive ability came up, and several of the Lakers' offenses were stuck, but the Hornets slowly controlled the rhythm of the game!
But time is running out!
"Look at this, the two teams should have to decide the winner at the highest juncture!" said the TNT commentator!
Sure enough, there were three minutes left before the end of the game, and the Lakers passed the ball to Kobe, who faced Ariza's defense and forced a three-point shot, not only scoring three points, but also getting a free throw!
3+1!
"Brush!" Kobe Bryant hit a free throw, 3+1 was played, and the Lakers opened up a 6-point difference!
The Staples court immediately resounded with cheers, and some people shouted Kobe's name, but the highest was the voice of MVP!
The head coach of the Hornets, Sanders saw that the situation was not right, and immediately called a timeout! Sanders is the coach hired by the Hornets from a college team, although he does not have much experience in the NBA, but he has rich experience in coaching colleges, plus Paul and He Yiming, two passers, the Hornets can play a lot of tactics, and Sanders is also constantly improving!
"It's very important to take this ball, there are a little more than 2 minutes left in the game, the Lakers will definitely defend this ball strictly............!
The timeout was over quickly, He Yiming sent the ball to Paul on the bottom line, and then slowly passed the half!
The Hornets are starting to press the tempo!
。。。。。。 To be continued!!
