Chapter 189: Attacking each other

Kobe Bryant smiled and walked into the players' tunnel with Li Du and said, "What kind of conspiracy can there be!" They're just hard to choose, they're going to make adjustments in the second half, and they're going to start from the outside, and then you're going to have a lot of defensive work! ā€

In this first half, Li Du was still relaxed, after all, the Celtics mainly attacked the inside, Pierce rarely attacked, and Li Du's defensive strategy was to try not to let Pierce receive the ball, even if Pierce occasionally received the ball, Li Du could also prevent him in the mode of explosive physical strength.

This creates an illusion for the Celtics - it seems that Pierce can't break through Lidu's defense either!

That's why Rivers found it difficult, originally thought that Pierce had a great advantage in the same position as the Lakers, after all, the Lakers did not have a particularly good defensive player at the small forward position. Kobe Bryant and Li Du are indeed very good defensively, but that is just the same position, Li Du is particularly good at defensive guards, but through Rivers' observation, when he defends small forwards, the effect is much worse.

It makes sense to think about it, Li Du is the figure of a defender after all, less than two meters tall, and it is indeed difficult for him to defend against people who are close to 2.10 meters and very strong.

But Rivers didn't expect that Pierce would find it difficult to find a chance to shoot under Li Du's defense, and even if he shot, he was reluctant to shoot, and the shooting rate could not be guaranteed at all. This makes Rivers difficult, do you really want Ray Allen to break through? In that case, the Lakers' defense will shrink, but that is a reassuring contraction, don't worry about the cold arrow on the outside, the Lakers are absolutely happy to do this!

Rivers was a good coach in such a difficult time to decide, bringing everyone together and analysing the situation and what needed to be changed, and most importantly, why he struggled to make adjustments in the first half.

This is the case with many things, but as long as you talk about it and explain it, you can come up with a countermeasure right away!

After listening to Rivers' analysis, Pierce immediately said: "Coach, let me be the main offense in the second half, and I will be the spearhead to break through the Lakers' defense." ā€

Without waiting for Rivers to ask, Pierce then explained: "Actually, the reason why I rarely shot in the first half was to think about opening up from the inside and trying to let the inside attack, since now we need to make changes, then it's up to me!" In the second half, I'll step up my attack. ā€

With Pierce's words, Rivers was finally relieved.

So at the beginning of the second half, while the Lakers were still in the starting lineup and Odom was defending himself, Pierce attacked one after another, looking like he was about to turn the difference around.

If it were another team, the situation might have really been reversed, but unfortunately the Celtics met the Lakers this time, a cunning Zen master, and Li Du, who would use the ancient Chinese art of war when the game was a war.

While the Celtics strengthened their outside offense, the Lakers also strengthened their outside offense, most notably the Lakers, who relied on Kobe Bryant and Gasol to score in the first half, and Li Du also engaged in the offense in the second half, no longer just acting as a containment point.

Rondo is defending Li Du, Li Du almost didn't run much in the first half, so his defensive task is also very easy, but as Li Du starts to shoot, his defensive pressure suddenly increases tenfold! First of all, he couldn't keep up with Li Du's erratic run, and the result was that Li Du hit two three-pointers in a row.

As the Celtics stepped up their guard against Edu and were replaced by someone else after Rondo was thrown away, the high pick-and-rolls of Kobe Bryant and Gasol began to spin as the engine of the triangle offense. The Lakers' offensive efficiency was suddenly higher than that of the Celtics, and the point difference not only did not narrow, but opened up to 8 points!

Rivers hurriedly called a timeout again. He had to admit that in the first meeting between the two teams, at least on a tactical and strategic level, he lost to the Zen master!

At this time, Rivers had no choice but to use the last killer move, the Big Three played at the same time, Rondo and Perkins assisted, and the Big Three no longer fought separately and were no longer entangled with the Lakers in the opposite position!

From this time on, the true power of the Celtic triumvirate began to be revealed! The first place where the Lakers were breached turned out to be the outside line!

The strongest outside defense in the league, which was jointly cast by Kobe Bryant and Li Du, finally showed a flaw under the combined attack of Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen and Rondo!

Rondo dribbled past half court, and Bryant stood inside the three-point line waiting for him. This is the best defensive strategy to use against a point guard like Rondo who doesn't have the ability to shoot from the outside. Rondo also knew his weakness, so he stood outside the three-point line and did not move, and then Garnett and Pierce actually came up at the same time to do a double block for Rondo.

Kobe Bryant was blocked, Rondo moved sideways to Pierce's side, Kobe and Odom had to switch defenses, and just after they switched defenses, Rondo passed the ball to Pierce, and Garnett blocked Pierce again. This time, there is a flaw in the Lakers' outside line.

But it's okay, when Pierce just passed to Garnett in the next order, Li Du was already in place. Garnett didn't pause at all, and with a wave of his big hand, the ball passed to Ray Allen's hands. Finally got an open shot opportunity, how could Ray Allen miss it, raised his hand to hit a three-pointer, and the difference returned to 5 points again.

Looking at the Celtics who high-fived each other and defended each other, Li Du gritted his teeth and was about to stomp his feet, and then began to burst into physical mode.

Kobe Bryant hurriedly grabbed Li Du, "Li, don't be like this!" Your stamina, save it for the last quarter and then explode. Since the Celtics are fighting with us as a whole, and we are fighting with them as a whole, we have a much greater advantage in the opposition than them! ā€

Li Du nodded, obeyed Kobe's order, and began to run.

This time, Li Du started to run, and immediately found that the Celtics had changed their moves. The man who defended himself changed from Rondo to Ray Allen, and it was Pierce who defended Kobe.

Ray Allen himself is also a top running master, Li Du still learned many running principles from him, and now it is up to him to follow Li Du, Li Du wants to get rid of him, the difficulty is much greater all of a sudden, under the premise of not breaking out physical strength, Li Du has no bottom in his heart.

Kobe Bryant was even more excited when he saw that he was replaced by Pierce to defend himself, this is the ace of the two teams against the ace, how could Kobe Bryant back down!

With two consecutive crotch disguises, Kobe Bryant shook off Pierce half a step, and rushed inside as soon as his shoulders sank. Pierce was not completely passed by Kobe, and he continued to work hard to stick to Kobe and not let Kobe kill the inside.

At this time, the most exciting goal of the game appeared.
