Chapter 276 [Steady and Steady]

On the international stage, Gasol's low-post attack is very sharp, and Marion is difficult to defend. Nelson Sr. didn't want to use Turiaf again, so the defense against Kobe would be lax, and in contrast, he would rather let Gasol score alone.

The Warriors attacked, the throw-in was issued, and Zhou Xuan slowly dribbled through the half. The Lakers' mixed defense is also very man-to-man, with Fisher dealing with Zhou Xuan. With three swingmen on the floor, it is difficult for the Lakers to play pure joint defense, Margetty, Jackson and others can eat Fisher the perimeter, and in the first two rounds of the series, the Lakers are depressed by this flaw.

After half the court, Zhou Xuan was ready to shoot. After practicing three-point shooting for a few days, he felt good at the top of the arc, and he felt that if he didn't shoot one, he would be sorry for his efforts these days, but he still had to do to attract attention.

Zhou Xuan took the ball forward with his right hand, turned his head and waved it in the direction of Jackson on the left with his left hand, as if to signal his teammates to cut away.

The Lakers and the Warriors played four games in the regular season, and Fisher was already somewhat familiar with Zhou Xuan's way, and ordinary people estimated that this kind of action was to pass the ball, but Zhou Xuan was not necessarily, if he reached forward to steal, he would be broken through. So Fisher did not step forward and get close, but lowered his center of gravity.

Zhou Xuan waved his left hand, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, pulled it up, and made a three-point jumper. The shot was so fast that it barely jumped, and Fisher didn't have time to jump before the ball flew over his head.

Brush, hollow into the net! 3 to 2.

Damn, I was deceived by him again, this bastard is so hard to figure out what's next. Fisher had to go back to catch the ball. Old Nelson on the sidelines applauded Zhou Xuan.

The Lakers attacked, and Marion began to go around, and his defensive tasks were the heaviest for the Warriors, and he also impressed. Not surprisingly, by the end of the season, he could still attract a lot of teams and get a high salary. There was no one in the alliance that he didn't dare to guard against.

Gasol could only pull to the perimeter, and Bryant took the ball and passed it to Ariza, who hoisted it to Bynum on the other side.

During the regular season, many people felt that Bynum was no longer the stupid big man who was scolded by Kobe Bryant as a "waste wood" a year ago, and his well-developed biceps and thick shoulders proved his potential to grow into a top brutalist center. However, after returning from injury, his form was a little disappointing, and his statistics in the first two rounds of the playoffs dropped to 6. 4 points 3. 7 rebounds.

Bynum leaned against Randolph and squeezed his back to the inside without success. HIS 130KG WEIGHT WILL HELP HIM POSITION HIMSELF INSIDE AND HIS 223CM REACH WILL ALLOW HIM TO ALWAYS REACH THE BASKET AND PUT THE BALL IN BEFORE HIS OPPONENTS. Despite his massive weight, he has a nimble pace and his foot movement creates more opportunities for him to attack. But against Randolph, Bynum's strength advantage could not be brought into play. He turned around and hooked his hand, which was passed by "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, but unfortunately his wrist was a little stiff recently, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Margeti rushed to the basket and protected the backcourt rebound and handed it to Zhou Xuan. The Warriors fell into position, Zhou Xuan went to the frontcourt, beckoned Margeti to play with him, and Ariza immediately changed defenses. In this way, Zhou Xuan can be sure that the Lakers are also a similar man-to-man hybrid defense.

He dribbled to the right to protect the basketball, Marion pulled to the perimeter, and Margeti cut inside. In two seconds, the Lakers' defense inevitably misaligned. Gasol went out to defend Marion, and a Bynum inside blocked Margety, at which point Randolph pulled to the left perimeter.

Every detail did not escape Zhou Xuan's eyes, he immediately hoisted the ball high to Randolph on the left, and the only one who could change Randolph was Fisher, and he chose to block the passing route.

Zhou Xuan also has experience, although the high lob ball cannot form a direct assist, it can allow Randolph to get it safely. The fat man took a step closer to the ball, turned to the baseline and made a jumper. Fisher jumped up to block to no avail, and the ball hollowed into the net. 5 to 2.

TNT Barkley said: "Beautiful misplaced offense, the Lakers can't let Fisher defend Randolph alone, this ball Kobe Bryant has to help defend on the side, but as long as Randolph passes, Jackson is empty again. ”

Kenny? "Every time the Warriors open the game, they almost get the upper hand, and they rarely fall behind in the first quarter, and the Lakers have to play an efficient offense, otherwise when Ellis comes up in the second quarter, I think they're in big trouble," Smith said. ”

The Lakers attacked, Fisher brought to the frontcourt to Kobe, and Bynum pulled to the perimeter to cover. Marion immediately let go of Gasol to defend Kobe, and Randolph confronted Gasol.

Bryant dribbled the ball to the low post, leaned on Marion, turned and threw a step-back jumper, dodged the block and scored. 5 to 4.

Zhou Xuan held the ball to the frontcourt, and Randolph and Marion retreated together. Relying on Marion's cover, Zhou Xuan shook off Fisher and broke through.

In the previous game, Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled near the top of the arc, and the inside line could quickly change defenses, and later after research, the old Nelson asked him and Marion to go farther away to block and dismantle, so that if Gasol wanted to wrap Zhou Xuan with Fisher, he had to go outside the three-point line, and Marion could cut faster after covering, and he could also shoot three points on the periphery.

Gasol is more than one step away from Zhou Xuan, and he is not afraid of shooting. Fisher caught up from behind, and Zhou Xuan distributed the ball to Marion.

Marion's air cut was very fast, Bynum let go of Randolph to guard the basket, and Marion distributed the ball to Randolph.

Few people mention Gasol's defense, he is not actually an offensive player, and his defense is also good, relying on his height and arm span to block, because of his high ball quotient and very fast rotation speed. Marion cut in and he immediately retreated to the left to switch to Randolph.

Randolph couldn't take a shot after receiving the pass, shook it for a moment, and then took the bed out of the line, Margeti received the ball to Jackson, and all five of them went through the hand, but they couldn't find an easy shot. In the playoffs, the Lakers' defense became stronger and more focused.

Seeing that 24 seconds were about to run out, Jackson forced his shot to hit the iron, and the rebound was obtained by Gasol.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant played a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Bynum on the right side, moved a step sideways to the right, and hit a three-point shot before Marion rushed up! 5 to 7.

The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan led the half, watched Jackson and Margeti cover and cut in the air, and passed the ball to Jackson. "Martial Saint" was about to burst into the interior for a layup, but behind him, Kobe Bryant let go of Margeti and reached out from behind to poke the basketball away.

Ariza picked up the basketball and threw it to the frontcourt, and Kobe Bryant and Fisher played a fast break. Zhou Xuan followed Fisher, Kobe Bryant did not pass the ball to the frontcourt, and faced Margeti who suddenly dribbled and stopped the jump shot.

Margeti jumped up and put his hand in front of Kobe, but it didn't work, and the ball went in. 5 to 9.

The Lakers have been playing these days, and they have entered the state faster than the Warriors, especially Kobe Bryant has been in good shape in the last game against the Nuggets, and the feeling has continued to this one. Kobe Bryant is unstoppable if he finds his touch, and he has a super ability to score consecutive points. In the 2002-2003 season, Kobe Bryant scored 40+ in 9 consecutive games, and his 81 points against the Raptors later can also speak for itself.

Nelson Sr. thought to himself that if Kobe Bryant went in again, he would have to call a timeout.

Zhou Xuan and Randolph played a blocking and dismantling cooperation, attracting Bynum's defense and distributing the ball to the middle. Randolph squeezed Fisher away, turned and jumped, Bynum turned back and interfered, the ball bounced out of the frame, and the rebound was received by Gasol.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant didn't play by himself this time, and took it to the right side to hang it to Gasol, giving his teammates the ball for them to open. The pass was good, and Randolph returned to the basket to block Gasol.

Gasol immediately passed the ball to Bynum, and Margeti dropped back to help defence, which was also very timely. Bynum's passing ability was not as good as Gasol's, and he didn't pass to Kobe Bryant, choosing to force his shot wide. The rebound was picked up by Randolph.

The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan relied on Randolph's cover to move to the right, observing the situation on the court, Gasol blocked it on the periphery, and Randolph had a chance in the middle, which was the easiest offensive point, so he passed. Randolph took the ball with his back and leaned on Fisher to turn to the left, and made a jumper, which was interfered with by Bynum.

The role of the little shark on the defensive end is obvious, he is very tall, he is not slow, and he almost killed Zhou Xuan's breakthrough route on the side, Randolph needs time to squeeze Fisher, and Bynum can also complete the pursuit.

Zhou Xuan can practice shooting by himself in order to ensure his state, but Randolph will not do this, he just practiced with the team for three days, the intensity is average, and his state is not very good at the beginning of today.

The Lakers attacked, Bryant received the ball on the outside and dribbled a step, and was passed to Ariza by Jackson close behind, who pulled a three-point shot from the left and the ball was also deflected......

Neither side has a high hit rate. After playing a few rounds, Zhou Xuan found that the Lakers' defense was different from the past, that is, they did not use the bag, but only rotated the position, resolutely defended one and one to ensure that one person interfered with the ball.

Margeti also had a poor shooting touch today, and Jackson was quite sure, hitting a three-pointer and a mid-range shot.

The Lakers' offense is dominated by the inside, Gasol scored 7 points in a single quarter, Bynum scored 8 points, in addition to the low post attack, Bynum also grabbed two frontcourt rebounds and scored baskets. Against the warriors who are not tall enough on the inside, the little shark gradually found his senses.

The two sides did not score much in the first quarter, 22-25. Kobe Bryant had 7 points and 3 assists in the first quarter.

Warriors' Zhou Xuan had 5 points and 4 assists. Jackson scored 7 points, and the elder Nelson opened the game to ask for more passes from Zhou Xuan, and as a result, Margeti got a lot of chances, but the shooting percentage was not high. Marion and Randolph didn't feel good either, and after Azubuike and Ellis came off the bench, the offense picked up somewhat.

Barkley said: "The Warriors were behind, but they did run away tactically and had some good opportunities that we didn't take. The Lakers are now leading, but the offense is too simple, and there is no strategy, just hanging on both sides to let the inside single. ”

Smith smiled: "They are very efficient inside, I don't know how the Lakers will adjust in the second quarter." ”

On the CCTV5 side, Zhang Li said: "Both sides fought hard to defend at the beginning of today, and the Warriors failed to play a fast attack, and now that Ellis is on the court, I don't know if the rhythm of the road will be faster." ”

Yu Jia said: "Zhou Xuan is resting, the Warriors don't seem to plan to solve the problem with running and bombing today, I think it would be better if they played two guards." ”

This is the strategy that the elder Nelson came up with after a few days of research. It's not that he gave up running and bombing, but it's not time yet, and throughout the first half, he was planning to play steadily.
