Chapter 731 [Revenge is difficult to succeed, comrades still need to work hard]

On the night of December 12, the Suns host the Lakers.

TNT Radio broadcast live across the United States, and commentator Barkley introduced the lineups of both sides, saying: "The Lakers' summer reinforcement was more successful, trading Butler for a stronger Artest, and their No. 1 position is not as weak as last season. However, I think it will be difficult for Kobe Bryant to succeed in wanting revenge on Jason, and the Suns have a stronger roster this season. ”

Kenny Smith said: "Jason seems to have a kind of magic, and there is no rookie around him who can't play. He's always got a way to help his team-mates play and help them play with confidence. Roy is the Suns' highest pick in the last 10 years and has played well. ”

Barkley laughed: "Jason once said that Roy's template is Kobe, I don't know if they will be in line today." ”

After the warm-up, players from both sides appeared, and the Suns had five: Guo Xu, Bale, Roy, Marion, and Stoudamire.

Looking at the starting lineup, you know that D'Antoni does not plan to stabilize the defense today, and wants to fight with the Lakers with all his strength to attack, and the two interior lines who are good at defense are sitting on the bench.

Lakers five: Smush Parker, Kobe, Artest, Odom, Bogut.

"Grim Reaper" Parker is still the Lakers' starter, averaging 28.6 minutes per game, scoring 10 points and 2.6 assists, shooting 43.2% from the field, 36.5% from three-point range, and 1.2 three-pointers per game.

Parker was reused by "Zen Master" Jackson, relying on a slightly better three-point ability, and the Lakers' starting lineup needed a point guard who could pull away. Ellis is a breakthrough-oriented, and Farmar still needs time to practice and become familiar with the Lakers' triangle offensive routine.

Defending Guo Xu Lakers can only rely on packing, and the three guards are definitely not good at defending alone, and Jackson has no better choice than Parker.

Bogut jumped the ball and the game began.

Parker passed the ball through the half, Bryant himself dribbled to the right low post, and Marion and Bale were trapped. Colescore the ball, Odom hit a three-point jumper in the middle of the vacancy, and the rebound was grabbed by Marion.

The Suns' consistent strategy is to wrap Kobe Bryant near the restricted area, put other Lakers players to shoot, and if Kobe Bryant is far away from the basket, he will defend it alone, and the first time he will defend it.

In the Suns positional battle, Guo Xu took the ball to the frontcourt, and it was not so easy for the Lakers to wrap him, because the Suns players all had range.

Xiao Si pulled to the outside of the three-point line to make a cover for Guo Xu, he held the ball to the right to the weak side, only Bell was alone in the bottom corner, if Kobe Bryant came to help defend, Guo Xu's pass was an opportunity.

Kobe Bryant didn't come out, Guo Xu also had a way to make the Lakers uncomfortable, holding the ball and forcing Bogut, lowering his center of gravity and bringing it to near the 45-degree penalty area, and then passing the ball back to the middle.

Parker can't sit back and watch Guo Xu dislocate and burst into a big man, chasing up from behind, Bogut doesn't want him to go directly to the basket and can only follow, Xiao Si in the middle is empty, catches the ball and shoots at the free throw line, hollow into the net. 2 to 0.

Even if Xiao Si took a break for a season, the two still had a tacit understanding so well that they could cooperate with their eyes closed, knowing what each other's next choice was.

Guo Xu suddenly attracted the big man to change the defense in the penalty area, Xiao Si stood in the middle and waited for the opportunity, even if it was not an empty position, he also had a height advantage in the face of the opponent's guard jumper. A heavy guard with a height of 190CM is also difficult to interfere with Xiao Si's jump shot, and he can't even seal his eyes.

The Lakers attacked, and the cooperation was similar to just now, Kobe Bryant was caught in the low post and the ball went out, Odom received the ball in the frame and didn't shoot, and Marion rushed out very quickly.

Odom played the ball to Parker, who then passed to Artest, who passed to Bogut in the low post on the left.

This routine is good, Bogut singled out Xiao Si to have a height and weight advantage, he leaned on his back twice and turned to the middle to hook his hand. 2 to 2.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu took the ball to the frontcourt organization, stretched out two fingers to his teammates to play the code, Xiao Si did not pull to the outside line, and made a no-ball cover for Roy on the left side.

Artest is a strong small forward, not afraid of confrontation, he will use closeness to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm, if there is any weakness in him, it is limited by his weight, not very fast.

Roy ran to receive the pass without pause, immediately changed to the inside breakthrough, Artest bypassed Xiaosi and ran along the three-point line, Roy's choice completely got rid of him, accelerated and passed Bogut, who was not active in changing defenses, and entered the restricted area to score a one-handed dunk before Odom made up the defense. 4 to 2.

This wonderful dunk detonated the atmosphere of the home stadium, and the audience applauded enthusiastically.

Roy is a great instant right now, always has a way to get the ball to the basket, and he's not inefficient. This year, his physical test data is not bad, but he is not at the top level.

The disadvantage of his ball-holding style of play is that he can't add assists to Guo Xu, but fortunately, Guo Xu doesn't care about the data this season and doesn't want to brush it, it doesn't matter.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant did not go to the low post to receive the ball alone, but received the ball on the right side and threatened to make a one-step pull-up jump shot in the face of Bell's sideways. He knew that going to the low post would be trapped, and the Suns defended him like this last season, and the Suns only defended themselves in one step inside the three-point line.

Bryant, who adjusted his style of play, made a shot before Marion helped defend, and Bale didn't shake his hand to interfere, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Long-range two-point scoring is not Kobe's strong point, but it has always been the technique with the highest proportion of his shots. No one knows why he's so fond of the big two-pointer, perhaps because he's trained with Maddie, and it's the kind of shot that fans most likely say is pictured.

This season, Bryant is averaging 7.3 long-range two-point shots per game and hitting just 42.6 percent from the field. This is already a new career high, but it is far from stable. He can hit more than 50% of the time at this distance when he is convulsed, and under normal conditions he will continue to hit iron, sometimes not even 30%.

Xiao Si grabbed the rebound and passed, Guo Xu held the ball and advanced at full speed, relying on speed for 3 seconds to reach the three-point line, Parker did not dare to force the rush for fear of being passed, Kobe Bryant was attracted to the bottom right corner by Bell and could not help defend.

Isn't this still the strength of a single defense? It's clear that they look down on me.

Guo Xu observed the opponent's position at half time and thought of a way to play. He paused slightly on the right, shifted the ball to the right with his left hand, and forced a break into the three-point line.

Parker is useless with defense, he can only prevent Guo Xu from making a layup, but he can't prevent him from passing.

Guo Xu saw the opportunity and passed to Marion who followed up in the middle at close range. "The Hacker" was completely healed from his injury, and he was half a body ahead of Odom in the race, and he took the ball and started to score basketball. 6 to 2.

Odom jumped a slow half-beat on the side, which was actually just a slight distraction, and when Marion cameo as a power forward, he would have a hard time playing against all the big guys.

The Lakers attacked, and Coarson gave the ball to Odom, who singled Marion with the ball to return one.

Odom held the ball in the middle and then broke through to force a layup on Marion with his physical advantage, Marion followed on the side without jumping, raising his hands to signal the referee "I didn't foul" to interfere.

Odom missed the basket with a layup, landed with his right leg first, didn't find a good balance, stumbled a little, and gave up the defense.

Bell picked up the rebound and passed to Guo Xu, Guo Xu didn't wait for his teammates to quickly bring to the front court after receiving the ball, grabbed a three-point shot one meter outside the left three-point line, and avoided Parker's block by rhythm, and the ball went in again. 9 to 2.

The home fans applauded together, and retired Lakers veteran Rick Fox sitting in the front row was no exception.

The on-set cameraman didn't pay attention to Fox and gave the Lakers a close-up of the backcourt, and Odom limped to the sideline while walking in the restricted area and was injured.

"Zen Master" Jackson hurriedly asked for a timeout......
