The second verse comes back.

The two sides first came up on the bench and played for a while.

The Lakers were significantly stronger off the bench because of Odom's presence on the court, helping to open up a five-point gap.

Seeing that 3 minutes had finally passed in the second quarter, Xiao K immediately replaced Yi Jianlian back on the court.

He played, and the Lakers' starters came back.

However, the Lakers still did not change their lineup, and it was still the interior twin tower combination of Gasol and Bynum to resist Yi Jianlian.

Phil Jackson is not in a hurry, and Xiao K is even less in a hurry, anyway, Yi Jianlian is no different from a father beating his son, a stable two-point play, what's not bad!

Pau Gasol was scrambled by Yi Jianlian's defense on the offensive end, and he couldn't read the game as calmly as Ilyasova defended before, and several passes were ineffective, and the Lakers' entire offense instantly stalled.

"Ball!"

In one word, in a nutshell, when the whole team couldn't score a goal, Kobe Bryant stepped up.

This is how the Lakers can be described this season, the ball goes through Gasol's hand, and that is the tactics that work.

And if it hadn't gone through Gasol's hands, it was Kobe Bryant who played a role.

Courtney Lee was once again educated.

But this time, Xiao K didn't let him defend alone, but let Mason follow along with him.

"I'd rather let him rush than let him shoot easily!"

Xiao K's words are the defensive policies that Mason and Courtney Lee implemented against Kobe Bryant for the rest of the second quarter, but whenever Kobe Bryant holds the ball, he will definitely not give him time to dribble to adjust the rhythm, that is, he will be forced inside through various close defenses.

The first few times, Kobe Bryant also relied on his strong waist and abdomen strength to send the ball into the basket, but gradually, Yi Jianlian figured out the law of this guy's pull-up rod and tried to interfere with a few, but basically succeeded.

With such a three-person defense, Kobe's offensive momentum was finally curbed by more than half, and Yi Jianlian chased back the 5-point gap by virtue of the lead in the opposite position.

49-49, by the end of the second quarter, the two teams were tied.

***

"Coach Phil, why don't you stagger my time with Kobe's playing time? This way I can avoid the time that I am easy to be on the court! ”

Gasol made a suggestion to Phil Jackson at halftime.

He really doesn't want to fight against Yi Jianlian anymore, this guy's body is much harder than last year, how can he, with his fine skin and tender meat, be able to withstand such destruction.

Of course, Pau Gasol is not wrong, during his time on the court, Kobe Bryant generally runs without the ball, and his sense of presence is very weak, and when Kobe Bryant attacks with the ball, he can't play any organizational talent, usually forget it, triangle offense, three strong points, each person attacks once, and the game is won, but the strength of the Bucks is obviously much stronger than the average team, playing a first half, and it can be equal to them.

It's better to stagger the time and ensure that the Lakers' second-round roster also has strong points on the floor, the Bucks' bench is notoriously weak in the league, and it should be easy to build an advantage by taking advantage of this rotation time.

"Okay, that's it!"

Although Phil Jackson has little adaptability, he is not stupid, and Pau Gasol's method is definitely effective and worth trying.

***

"Wow, it turns out that the Lakers are still the first in the West!"

Liu Yifei checked the information of the Lakers at halftime, "But the Bucks seem to be quite strong this season, ranking second in the East, no wonder the game between these two teams does not look as big a difference as when they played the Magic team in the last game." ”

Howard: Who are you mocking?

Sister Mei looked at Liu Yifei's appearance of focusing on checking information, and was angry and funny: "Hey, my eldest lady, do you know how many domestic media are waiting for you to return to China now?" Do you still have the heart to look it up? The storm is coming! ”

"I already know it, what else is there to hurry." Liu Yifei checked and checked, and suddenly saw something, "Hey? All-Star Vote, what is it? ”

"......" Sister Mei was completely speechless.

This kid is crazy!

***

The second half of the game begins.

Xiao K looked at Pau Gasol, who was sitting on the bench and did not play, and he didn't react.

Is this the first half of the defensive effort was too poor and was sent off the cold bench?

Little K glanced at Odom, the No. 4 on the current Lakers court.

Isn't this guy fast!

He didn't believe that Odom could defend against Yi Jianlian. A player like Odom who is not indiscriminate, is more suitable for assisting defense, if you really want to defend alone, you can't keep up with the speed in the third position, and you don't have enough strength in the fourth position, in short, it's embarrassing.

As expected, Yi Jianlian continued to show various scores.

And the Lakers, relying on Kobe's single firepower, can also complete the response.

"That's not right!"

Xiao K glanced at the time, it was already 6 minutes in the third quarter, and Gasol had not played yet, what was the situation? Even if you sit on the cold bench, you shouldn't have to take him up for so long!

Don't want to win?

"Won't it?"

Xiao K suddenly thought of something, and took Yi Jianlian to rest in advance at the eighth minute, and as soon as he was replaced, Phil Jackson was also immediately replaced.

Damn, really!

Watching Pau Gasol play, Fisher played, Kobe Bryant went off the court and Odom went down, Xiao K's face was a little ugly, these shameless people, such a substitution, it is clear that the bench that bullied us is too weak!

But in addition to scolding his mother in his heart, Xiao K really has no good way, Yi Jianlian is impossible not to give him a rest, the first half is already very high-intensity, and now the second half has fought for most of the time, if he doesn't give enough rest time, where can he have the strength to play the entire fourth quarter?

It's not an iron man!

It's just that in this way, the Lakers will open up the point difference!

Xiao K shook his head slightly, and could only force himself to accept the upcoming point difference.

The only luck that still exists in his heart now is that he hopes that the Bucks' bench can give some strength and strive to lose a few points.

Pau Gasol has never been a good big man, as evidenced by his seven-year track record as a Grizzlies boss, but he's definitely a good tactical executor, and Phil Jackson also likes to use this guy a lot, as evidenced by Pau Gasol's playing time.

37 minutes!

He should be the only player on any NBA team who has played more minutes than the team boss.

Kobe Bryant is averaging 36.1 minutes per game this season.

It can also be seen from here how important Pau Gasol is to the team's strategy.

The Lakers who played in the rotation lineup were not only Pau Gasol who started the game, but also Fisher, who was also a player who could play according to tactics.

With the two of them combing, the Lakers went on a 12-5 scoring spurt in the final four minutes of the third quarter.

71 to 66.

The Bucks trailed by five points.
