Chapter 342: Praised Again

?? The strategy given by Nash worked, and after the timeout, the Lakers stopped blocking and dismantling, and directly let Kobe Bryant play alone with his back in the low post.

This is the most proficient and efficient of Kobe's current singles skills.

Others, such as breakouts, basket shots, and mid-range positions, have regressed compared to the past.

It's okay to play other opponents, play the Heat, once James switches to Kobe, the success rate of Kobe Bryant's strong play is not high.

Only the back body, this technique that grows older and more fragrant, Kobe Bryant can still maintain a high success rate.

As soon as the timeout ended, the Lakers used an outside triangle offensive to pass the ball to Kobe.

Bryant received the ball and rolled over and hit a step-back jumper to score two points.

This was Bryant's first goal of the game, and as soon as the ball was scored, even Bryant himself breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally a goal!

He didn't score for more than four minutes in the opening game, hit four irons, and if he couldn't shoot again, he would probably be scolded to death by Li Liang.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played inextricably, and the Heat's defense always maintained a strong oppression, putting huge pressure on the Lakers.

But Bryant withstood the pressure in the second half of the first quarter and hit back-to-back jumpers in the low post.

The scores of the two sides were tight, and the first quarter ended at 24:25, with the Heat leading by one point.

James scored just 2 points in the first quarter, but grabbed 4 rebounds from the backcourt.

Bosh scored eight points and Wade scored six and was the main point of attack for the Heat in the first quarter.

Li Liang did not score any more points except for the opening 5 points, and his main significance on the court was to open up space for Kobe.

Bryant scored eight points and began the second quarter to sit on the sidelines and rest with Nash.

The two sides rotated the lineup, and James and Li Liang remained on the court, and it was a battle between the two of them.

Before the start of the second quarter, Mike Brown spoke to reporters on the sidelines.

He was asked about the role Bruce Lee currently plays in the team.

Brown paused, thinking to himself how to say this, there are too many effects to say.

He concluded by saying, "Bruce Lee's help to the team is immeasurable, and he is arguably the key to victory for the Lakers." ”

The key to victory, Brown's assessment of his thighs is still very accurate.

In terms of ability, Li Liang can't compare to James, but in the competition between the two teams, Li Liang knows how to make good use of the advantages of his teammates and help each other with his teammates.

Relatively speaking, James is more about letting others adapt to his style of play than forming a perfect complement to others.

After all, James was the chosen one from the beginning, and his ability was too strong, and it would be a crime not to play with him as the core.

On the contrary, Li Liang is a sparring partner, who always has to adapt to his teammates and help his teammates.

This characteristic and habit of his, even if he has strong personal ability, still does not change.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat attacked, with Bosh and Wade sitting on the sidelines.

James, like Kobe, began to ask for the ball in the low post, low on the left side, and hit Li Liang with the ball on his back one-on-one.

Li Liang tried his best to defend, and after James pushed Li Liang away, he turned to the basket inside, and O'Neal Jr. came over to help defend.

James handed over the ball to Anderson, who was plugged in, and Anderson scored an easy layup.

This ball James has gone down too deep, and Xiao Ao can't help defend James just to score a basket.

Xiao Ao came to help defend, and that was an assist.

The Lakers' counterattack came quickly.

At this time, the attacking core of the field was Gasol, who came off the bench.

Meeks dribbled the ball and then responded to the high post Li Liang.

Gasol was in a frontal position and pressed Anderson behind him.

But Li Liang didn't pass the ball, because the Heat's defense contracted quickly, and the pass was dense near the three-second zone, and the pass would be cut off nine times out of ten.

Seeing that there was no chance, Gasol left the three-second zone and went to the other side to make a cover for Ci Shiping.

Ci Shiping slipped the bottom line with the help of cover, and was in a low position on the right side.

Li Liang stuffed the ball to Ci Shiping, and after Ci Shiping received the ball, it was Lei Allen who defended him.

Ci Shiping took advantage of his physical advantage to wipe into the inside line like a roller, and hit two points with a close-range throw from the board.

The Lakers are playing retro basketball and attacking at all low posts.

Like Kobe, Gasol, Ci Shiping, including O'Neill Jr., the technical characteristics all retain a strong 90s style.

Under the high-intensity pressing defense of the Heat, the strong attack of the low post is very suitable.

However, James then stopped going low, and he took advantage of Anderson's cover in the middle to burst inside, and suddenly a back-turn flick pass, the ball flew into the hands of Mike Miller at 45 degrees on the right.

Miller received the ball and hit a direct three-point shot!

At 26:30, the Heat extended their lead.

The pitch was quite beautiful, and the whole process was done in one go.

But Li Liang immediately returned the color, and the Lakers still seemed to attack slowly in the position, but they played in an orderly manner.

Li Liang is not a master of offensive organization, but he has a clear mind and knows that the core of the second team is Gasol.

Any attack, regardless of whether the ball is ultimately thrown or passed by Gasol, must take advantage of Gasol's excellent inside position.

Li Liang first made a cover for Meeks, and then Gasol also brought it up.

The double cover of the high position is really a luxury for Meeks.

Meeks held the ball and rushed to Gasol, who played the middle.

The Heat's defense was not out of position, the bag came up, and Gasol dribbled a step in the middle and had no chance.

But in the bottom corner, Li Liang has already run to the bottom corner.

Gasol's tall stature and wide field of vision played a role in finding Li Liang in the bottom corner.

Li Liang received Gasol's pass, resisted Mike Miller's interference, and hit a three-point shot!

At 29:30, Li Liang's three-point shot opened early tonight, which was not good news for the Heat.

As soon as Li Liang's three points were opened, the Lakers' tactical system suddenly became rich and layered.

That's a big problem for the Heat's defense.

Moreover, Spo didn't know when Li Liang's three points would suddenly have an unreasonable explosion, which was really fatal.

The game continued, and the Heat and Lakers each wasted an offensive opportunity.

Norris Kerr grabbed the counterattack and single-handedly scored a left-handed layup under the basket.

The Lakers immediately returned the color.

The little prince Meeks took the ball all the way, rushed into the basket with the ball, and hit a high board throw with his right hand under the blocking of Birdman Anderson.

The two sides are playing against each other, and this is the rhythm that the Lakers like.

Once the game goes into attacking each other, you score one and I score one, which is beneficial to the Lakers.

Two of the Lakers' best playmakers are still sitting off the court, and the Heat's best offensive playmakers are already on the court.

If the Heat can't take advantage of such an attack, then in the second half of the second quarter, it is difficult to guarantee that the Lakers will not play a wave of offensive climax and crush the Heat.

Then, it was Kerr who made a strong basket, and this time his layup was blocked by Xiao Ao!

Xiao O's blocks in the first two games are simply godlike, more than Howard.

In Howard's absence, O'Neal Jr. held up a no-fly zone under the basket.

However, the ball was picked up by James, who took the ball to hit Li Liang one-on-one, and ate it with his back.

This time Meeks came over to help defend, James pretended to pass the ball to the perimeter, and Meeks was really fooled into swooping back.

James immediately dribbled the ball and pushed it inside, but he didn't hit it twice, and Meeks came to make up for it.

This time the outside line is empty, James passes the ball to Kerr, and Kerr makes a three-point shot on the front!

didn't score, O'Neal Jr. won the backcourt rebound, and the Lakers had a chance to counterattack.

The ball was handed to Meeks, and Meeks rushed brainlessly again, and Li Liang shouted to stop him.

Meeks immediately gave the ball to Li Liang at the top of the arc, and Li Liang waited for Gasol to settle down, and immediately stuffed it into Gasol's hands.

Gasol received the ball and rolled over to press Anderson with a hook shot, which was too comfortable to hit.

Spo shook his head and immediately called a timeout, this rhythm was completely wrong, into the rhythm of the Lakers.

The first quarter was playing well, everything was planned, and in the second quarter, the second team was derailed.

Spo's pre-match preparation has always been good and the adjustments have always been effective, but tonight it looked like he was being targeted.

Spo picked at his face, Mike Brown's counter-targeting did have a set.

And Mike Brown stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed and watched for several minutes, not doing anything, inexplicably, and being praised again.
