Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Christmas War IV

At the beginning, although Pat Riley was also wary of Li Du's long-range shot, he also knew that in the game with the Lakers, most of the defensive attention should still be focused on Kobe, although from the first quarter, Wade's restrictions on Kobe Bryant were not bad, but it must not be taken lightly because of this, Kobe's scoring ability is absolutely not doubtful.

White couldn't keep up with Li Du, and Pat Riley also made corresponding adjustments, that is, to change the defense! As long as Li Du shakes off White, when he receives the ball, the person closest to him will immediately let go of his defender and go to Li Du.

It's a pity that Pat Riley, known as a "god operator", didn't count Li Du's shooting to be so terrifying, no matter who pounced, Li Du could always shoot at the moment of receiving the ball, and the speed of the shot was so fast, I'm afraid it was not slower than Ray Allen. What's even more terrifying is Li Du's shooting rate, no matter how fast the shot is or how flat the shooting arc is, Li Du has always maintained a terrible hit rate for every ball!

Finally, when Li Du hit his sixth three-pointer in a row, Pat Riley couldn't sit still, and he called a long timeout, hoping to temporarily cool Li Du's hot hand, and the other reason was to think about how to deal with it.

O'Neal was also a little confused, and muttered to himself: "How did Kobe Bryant change sex today?" Usually he occupies a lot of shots, why is it all passed to that Chinese kid today? ”

When Pat Riley heard this, he hurriedly called the person in charge of statistics next to him, took out Kobe's statistics tonight, and patted his head, "So that's the case!" Kobe Bryant shot 2 of 8 today, and the shooting rate was not good, while Li Du shot 6 of 6 three-pointers! It seems that Kobe Bryant wants Li Du to end the offense! ”

Pat Riley really wants to shift the defensive focus in his heart, Li Du's offensive method He knows very well that his offensive ability with the ball is very weak, as long as the Heat's defensive focus is on Li Du, so that Li Du has no chance to catch the ball and shoot, Li Du's offense can be regarded as a waste!

As long as Li Du's offense is wasted, and Kobe Bryant's hand is not good today, and the rest of the Lakers are mediocre, the Heat will have a good chance of winning this Christmas battle that has attracted the attention of the world today!

Pat Riley resisted the urge in his heart, and he kept telling himself that he couldn't do this! Now Kobe Bryant is like a demon king who has been sealed with most of his power, once the seal is loosened even a little bit, this demon king will bring a devastating blow to the Heat!

After hesitating for a long time, Pat Riley finally let out a long sigh and instructed the players: "In addition to Dwyan's insistence on Kobe Bryant, our defensive focus is still on Kobe!" No matter how high that Chinese kid's shooting percentage is, he is a rookie, and his shooting stability may not be much better! Also, when everyone is changing defenses and rushing out, they can pounce a little harder, a little earlier, even if they are shaken away by Li Du, it doesn't matter! Just stop him from shooting threes and let him shoot two points from a long distance! The Lakers, on their side, can't stop us! ”

Wade quietly asked O'Neal, "Shaq, what do you think?" What if I go to fight Li Du's outside line and let Kobe Bryant go for the time being? I don't think Kobe's desire to attack today is not so strong! ”

O'Neal shook his head and sighed, "Dwyan, you don't know Kobe well enough!" That guy doesn't look like he wants to attack today, and that's because his desire to win has reached its peak! In order to win the game, he is willing to pass the ball for Li Du on the field and attract defense for the team, but you must not relax in any way! Once that guy's offensive firepower is turned on, it's really inexplicable! ”

"As for Li Duma...... O'Neal shook his head slightly, "no matter how good he is, he is only a rookie, even if he is flawed in shooting!" We only have to listen to the coach now, anyway, now we have a similar score with the Lakers, and no one can close the difference. We can take our time in the game to solve the problem first! ”

"Hmm...... All right. Wade also has to admit that no one has a good way to do this situation!

After playing again, the Heat pounced more resolutely on Li Du, but did not relax their defense against Kobe Bryant at all. And when it was the Heat's turn to attack, it was O'Neal who blocked Li Du for Wade, and the Lakers also didn't have a good way to limit it.

The two sides went back and forth, and neither could do anything about whom, and the first half ended in a big battle between the two teams. The Lakers took a slim one-point lead, 53-52.

At this time, everyone understands that the Lakers and the Heat have nothing to do with each other now, and the two sides have fallen into a stalemate between the two sides, and whoever breaks the deadlock first will have a greatly increased winning rate of the game!

At halftime, the TV media that broadcast the game live, the commentators and commentators, all began to come up with ideas for both sides.

In the live broadcast room of CCTV, Yu Jia said to Director Zhang: "Now that the two sides are in a situation of attack, it can be said that there is no good way for anyone to take the other party, Director Zhang, what do you think the Lakers and the Heat should do at this time?" ”

Coach Zhang has always been towards the Lakers, but the first thing he said was the Heat, he said: "In fact, the current situation seems to be a stalemate between the two sides, but it is actually more unfavorable to the Heat!" The reason why the Heat can now draw with the Lakers is because Wade's breakthrough led the whole team, but today it was Li Du who defended Wade, and Wade also wanted to break Li Du's defense in one-on-one with his own strength at the beginning, which proved to be unworkable, so O'Neal had to block Li Du for Wade, so that Wade had room to break through! ”

In this way, it looks like Wade is liberated, but the Heat must also use O'Neal a lot because of this! You know, O'Neal is not young now, he usually plays more than 20 minutes a game. If he continues to play like this today, O'Neill will probably have to play for thirty-four or five minutes! This is a huge physical challenge for him, and once O'Neal is physically exhausted, Wade will have to face a one-on-one situation with Li Du again! ”

In the end, Director Zhang concluded: "Therefore, what the Heat need most now is to use O'Neal's dominance on the inside and Wade's scoring as soon as possible when O'Neal's physical strength is still sufficient and has not been consumed a lot, and the point difference will be opened as soon as possible!" ”

Yu Jia nodded in agreement, he actually thought of this problem in his heart, but how to defend the Lakers, to be precise, how to defend Kobe and Li Du, is what the Heat needs to solve, otherwise if it continues to be entangled like this, it is really not certain who will die in the end! "As for the Lakers, what do you think they should do to improve?"

Director Zhang thought for a while before saying: "The Lakers have done a good job today, especially Kobe, he gave full play to the role of a leader, you see Kobe didn't score much today, but look at his data, in the first half, Kobe Bryant has got 7 assists!" This shows that Kobe Bryant is connecting the team and creating opportunities for Li Du, who is playing the role of a top soldier at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends today! ”

When Director Zhang said this, he also smiled: "Li Du is also terrible today, the three-point shot is now 7 of 7 shots, maintaining a 100% shooting rate, which may also be an NBA record!" ”
