Chapter 213: Scorched
Lamar grabbed the ball in his hands before Grant Hill, and then took advantage of the opposition's unstable footing to accelerate forward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Once Lamar's speed increases, it is a well-established fact that few people in the league can stop him.
Grant Hill can't either, and all he can do now is run after Lamar, hoping to interfere with the other side.
When one foot stepped into the three-point line, Lamar suddenly slowed down and opened up the distance between him and Grant Hill, and just when the opponent thought he was going to shoot and rushed up desperately, Lamar accelerated again to shake off the opponent's defense, and then faced the sky blue, he jumped high, pulled his body into a bow in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Lamar ... Odom!" The DJ at the scene showed his high-pitched voice like crazy, and the emotions of the audience were also ignited by this ball, and they cheered wildly.
Lamar also gave a rare punch after the goal, and he just wanted to tell his teammates that the Pistons were nothing special.
"Haha! Lamar this guy is finally crazy, I think there must have been a lot of people who thought he would pass the ball to Kobe Bryant, who followed up, because he has been doing this a lot lately, but Lamar seemed very excited today, and chose to single Grant Hill on the first ball, and the sudden change of speed just now was really perfect, Lamar! ”
Bill Wharton shouted excitedly, so that everyone in the room could hear what he was saying, and it is estimated that this guy is the only one in the league who dares to make fun of the Pistons like this.
"Huh!"
The Pistons were completely unaffected by Lamar's dunk just now, and Big Ben quickly sent out a baseline ball, and after several passes, Atkins finally hit a three-pointer, and the consistency was terrifying.
Collins couldn't help but stand up and walk to the sidelines to applaud his disciple's performance, but he was immediately greeted with a tornado of boos.
Lakers fans don't care who he is! They just remember that this guy once had a very unpleasant quarrel with Kobe, the son of Los Angeles, and offended Kobe, that is, offended the whole of Los Angeles.
In the face of the wild boos in the field, Collins could only return to the coach's seat with a black face, and his heart was more determined to win this game.
The team played unhurriedly on the field, with a clear eye, and every move seemed to have been rehearsed countless times in advance, standard and concise. Under Collins' tutelage, the Pistons are famous for their maddening stability in addition to their solid defense! If you take out the five players on their court individually, none of them can be called superstars now, Hill is not the guy he used to be, and the invasion of injuries has made this talented small forward increasingly inadequate! Now that Collins has put them together to form a solid whole, the chemistry of the Pistons is immediately out.
And the Pistons play basketball as a whole, which is the principle that Collins has always adhered to, in his team, the ball can only be passed through a continuous process, slowly looking for opportunities, rather than staying in the hands of one person for a long time.
The Lakers re-served, and as soon as Lamar passed halftime, Joe Smith stuck to him, waving his two slender arms back and forth in front of Lamar's eyes. Although after entering the league, the old champion rarely has a dazzling performance, but his strength is undoubted, otherwise he would not have a main position in a strong team like the Pistons.
Like all players who are tough defensively, Joe Smith has a big mouth and is no less trash-talking than the old fritters who have been in the league for years.
"Hey, boy, try to break through me, aren't you very good at this? Jumping around on the court like a flea, not today, as long as you have me by your side, you don't want to leave for a single step, just like now, like a wronged little girl, you can only lose your temper at basketball. Stop trying to touch the hoop with your dirty paws. ”
In the face of Joe Smith's chattering trash talk offensive, Lamar wanted to punch him and stomp his very performance art face!
"Calm down! Calm down!" Lamar said silently in his mind.
Joe Smith is also very strange, the last time he met Lamar in the preseason, the two of them fought on the court for half an hour, and in the end it was just an equal, Lamar was not played out of style by him, and he was not much better, almost insane.
At this time, Lamar did not say a word, but it made him feel more problematic and more tightly defended.
Shaq, who was on the inside, was also in a hurry, because he couldn't squeeze the black tower in front of him at all.
Before the game, this little dwarf Big Ben was not in his eyes at all, but now that he is facing each other, he realizes the energy contained in this dwarf's body, and he has to start taking it seriously.
Lamar saw that he had no chance to break through, and with a wave of his hand, Shaq on the inside line immediately realized that he would do a block, and the moment Shaq stood in his position, Lamar quickly started to go around behind him.
Joe Smith wanted to continue to follow the defense but was bumped by Shaq, and Ben Wallace, who was making up for the defense, was just about to pounce. Lamar suddenly pulled the ball and turned and broke through from the other side of Shaq, and Joe Smith was tangling with Shaq, and it was too late to keep up. Big Ben, who followed the defense, was left behind by Lamar and had no way to protect the basket, and Lamar scored a direct dunk.
Big Ben caught the falling basketball and smashed it on the ground in annoyance.
"Ben, don't worry! we still have time!" said Grant Hill to Big Ben.
Although the defensive core of the Pistons is Big Ben, everyone knows that the real core is indeed Grant Hill, an injury hero, his career started very smoothly, and he was shocked when he first joined the league, just when people almost thought that he had a Jordan-like mission about to appear, injuries found him at this time, and he jumped from one of the top stars in the league to a lonely hero with constant injuries.
In fact, his conditions in all aspects are really outstanding, and even Kobe Bryant is not as talented as him. Grant Hill has both the dazzling feints of the AI and his unpretentious side, and he can play his part both offensively and defensively. And he always keeps a cool head on the pitch and is always ready to analyse the game.
Big Ben nodded, passed the ball to Atkins, and ran to the opponent's inside, and the other Pistons players also quickly launched an attack formation to slowly advance to the Lakers' half.
Phil Jackson frowned as he watched off the court, a slow-paced team like the Pistons is exactly the most hated opponent for the Lakers right now.
After the Lakers have Shaq, Kobe and Lamar at the same time, the Lakers are best at combining tactics inside and outside, using, defensive counterattacks, and rotation speed to drag down the opponent, but once the rhythm of the game is disrupted, the players' hearts often begin to become impatient, which in turn affects the performance on the court.
Sure enough, under the slow pace of the game and solid defense of the Pistons, some players of the Lakers began to be impatient, made frequent mistakes, and became unpleasant, and even Lamar was affected into the embarrassment of dumb fire.
By the middle of the first quarter, the Lakers were five points behind, and Phil Jackson had no choice but to call a timeout.
"Boys, we're in a bad situation right now, the pace of the game is completely controlled by the opponents, we're being led by the nose. This is not going to work, we have to regain the initiative and get the pace up. The Pistons can't be fast, and if we want to win, we have to run with them and let them follow our rhythm. Start running as soon as the ball comes out, don't cherish any physical strength, if we go on like this, we won't get anything. Anderson: You replace Shaq and run. Kobe Bryant uses your speed to attack the Pistons' formation, and the best thing they can run is that Jerry Starkerhouse, I don't ask you anything else, get him tired and lie down, can you do it?"
"Sure, coach, you know that's my forte. Kobe Bryant smiled sinisterly, breaking through is indeed his forte.
"Good!" Phil Jackson then said to Lamar, "Listen, Lamar, you are the playmaker of the team right now, you have to find a way to change the situation, play to your speed advantage, don't get tangled with Joe Smith, don't keep thinking about breaking through him and opening up the gap with passes. ”
When the game started again, the Lakers team strictly implemented Phil Jackson's tactical arrangement, no matter how the Pistons played, they just blindly accelerated the speed.
As legendary head coach Cardinal Auerbach said, run, then shoot the ball to the basket and make the game easy. It's the same when defending, every player on the court is like a hungry wolf, and they start to rush like crazy, although this will leave a big defensive gap, but it also makes the Pistons become uncomfortable, and the speed that has been deliberately suppressed is not so easy to control.
The game began to fall into an anxious stage, and the score between the two sides was tightly bitten, which made Collins who was sitting on the court also anxious, and called two timeouts in a row in the hope of disrupting the rhythm of the Lakers, but it did not receive the expected effect.
What's more serious is the guarantee of speed in the team, Jerry Starkerhouse is already showing fatigue at the moment, and the steps of the physical strength have begun to become heavy!
Although the Lakers' Anderson was in worse condition, it was obvious that Phil Jackson's goal had been achieved, and with a wave of his hand, he sent Brian Shaw, a physical couple, and the balance of the game gradually tilted.
For the writing mistakes that occurred in the 211 chapters, it was corrected, and this is a problem with the westward shortcut, and I've been thinking about the finals against the 76ers recently, and the draft was also written there, so I made a mistake, thanks to the reminder of the book friend Fire Pig Pig (to be continued.) )
