Chapter 221, Little Black Bean Convulsions
At the beginning of the third quarter, Huang Yu became the key defensive target of the Rockets, and after being targeted by Battier, Huang Yu couldn't do as much as he wanted when he was with other substitutes! So it's about the same as last season, playing 3 minutes and only 2 shots, hitting a three-pointer! The mid-range shot was hit on the arm by Battier and fanned the ball away, and won two free throws, two free throws!
"6 of 6 three-pointers, today's rookie feels really hot!"
Mike Brin felt that Huang Yu's performance today was very good!
"He gave up defending when he entered the league, and when he met a defender like Battier, he couldn't even get into the box to kill!"
For Van Gundy, no defense is simply an outlier, and 203 centimeters is a waste of height by shooting outside!
For this kind of thought, Huang Yu doesn't bother to complain even if he knows it, when I become a supergiant, I will also get a puppet as a coach! In this way, I played casually from No. 1 to No. 5, and no one dared to say anything, and if I said more than half a word, I would let him go.
As Battier's defensive focus shifted to Yellow Rain, Kobe Bryant suddenly stepped up his personal offense! Just kidding, Battier finally shifted his defensive target, and if he didn't hurry up to help the Lakers pull the difference away, what should he do if Battier came over to guard him?
Kobe Bryant is not afraid of confrontation, and even enjoys the feeling of being marked by top defenders, so that he can prove his worth, so he is the target of being targeted by the opponent's excellent defenders in every game, although Kobe Bryant enjoys this feeling, it does not mean that he is masochistic! I want to spend the whole game in physical entanglement, and if I still lose after a whole fight, I can imagine the depression.
Kobe Bryant also wants to enjoy the treatment of a top superstar happily every day, and then win and enter the playoffs to compete for the championship, it is best to take this opportunity to build a dynasty, although it proves that without that stinky fish, he can also win the championship, but as time goes by, the peak has slowly passed! This may be the last chance to surpass the shark, after all, he only left Los Angeles to get one championship, and he is now equal, and what awaits him will be overtake.
----------
After all, Huang Yu also played most of the second quarter, so in the 8th minute of the third quarter, the Zen master still replaced him, at this time the Lakers had once again led the Rockets by 11 points, and Huang Yu hit another three-pointer and a mid-range shot, and scored a total of 10 points in the third quarter!
In the third quarter of the game, Huang Yu's score has come to 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, and he made seven three-point shots! He hit 8 of 12 shots and made two free throws!
And Kobe Bryant scored 16 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds on 5-of-15 shooting in the first half, and after attacking with all his might in the third quarter, he rewrote the data to 26 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds! The shooting percentage also went from 5-of-15 shooting to 10-of-21, and one of the driving layups resulted in a defensive foul on Hayes! 2+1 hit!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant's hand was still there, and he hit a three-pointer when he came up, which was also his first three-pointer of the day! But a couple of Rockets convulsions started again, Lowry came on as point guard, while Brooks was moved to point guard, and as for defense, of course, it was Battier who was misplaced to defend Kobe!
Brooks's convulsive is simply incomprehensible, even if Kobe Bryant personally marks the defense, it is useless, and he hit two three-pointers in a row from a distance of one step from the three-point line, and the difference is close to within 10 points! Immediately after the Lakers missed the attack, Lowry broke through and gave the ball to Battier, and Artest, who was on the defensive side, did not lose much position, but Battier received the ball and hit three points steadily.
Although the Lakers attacked Kobe Bryant in the next round and caused Battier's foul, he made one of two free throws! Immediately afterwards, Brooks convulsed again, received Scola's rebound, and went straight down with the ball, just after the three-point line, he shot and directly hit a long-distance three-pointer.
The Rockets' 12-1 offensive directly pulled the two sides back to a starting line again! Only four minutes into the fourth quarter.
----------
"The Lakers are in trouble, now it's up to us how to adjust, to deal with the sudden power of Brooks, should we replace Rain, who feels just as hot?"
Mike Brin didn't know why, and once again mentioned Huang Yu, who performed well in this game, don't look at Brooks's majesty in this section, but the stability of Huang Yu is favored by many people, and Brooks is classified as a convulsive, how to throw when the wind is downwind, once the iron is struck, it will be one after another.
"I don't think so, now the Lakers should adjust their defensive system, Brooks's three-point shot will not last, and the hero of the tie is not only Brooks, but also Lowry's breakthrough point, the moment Lowry broke through the Lakers' defense, that shot even if it is not given to Battier, it is easy to score after entering the interior to attract Bynum and passing to Scola."
Van Gundy obviously doesn't think the Lakers are coming up with a new attack point, and now the Lakers' firepower is already fierce! Bynum and Gasol inside, Kobe Bryant and Artest outside, although Lao Yu is the most inconspicuous one, but the veteran mentality is good and there are not many shots, but he can stabilize his average score per game at about 9 points, which is much stronger than the average player, you must know that in the Lakers starting lineup, he has the least shots.
----------
The difference of opinion between the commentators is not mentioned for the time being, Lao Yu just took the ball through the half-court, and the Zen master called a timeout, this situation is not normal! Both of the leads in this game were tied! If Artest was iron-clad in the first half, the problem can be found!
Could it be that the fourth quarter was tied this time, is it still to blame the other party for playing too well?
"Ron, I want you to be misplaced to defend Brooks, you have to give that little black bean enough pressure, don't let him shoot so easily, he can foul when necessary!"
The Zen master will not easily speak like this, he directly means that he has been angry, although the Lakers did not lose less last season, but there has never been a situation where the continuous lead was recovered, the opposing player feels hot This is not a reason, he feels good You interrupt him, foul what are you afraid of, as long as the control point is become malicious!
Fouling to interrupt the opponent's hand is also a tactic, no different from slashing sharks! No matter how good your hand feels, if you come to your hand, it will inevitably decline! Even if your concentration reaches the level of perversion, but your body is the most honest, the natural reaction of muscles and nerves after receiving injury, it is not something you can control if you want to control!
If the two sides fight bayonets and lose the game, then although the defeat is still glorious, but you let a first-class team, the second-rate team of the Rockets defeat, and you are still shot to death by a convulsive, the Lakers will be pulled out by the media for at least 2-3 days! Until something else is topped.
You must know that the Lakers' total salary this season this season is as high as $91.3 million, while the NBA's officially announced salary cap for the 2009-10 season is $57.3 million, and the luxury tax trigger line is about 65.65 million (any team with a total salary of more than this figure will have to pay $1 luxury tax for every additional $1 spent.) So with the $25.7 million luxury tax that the Lakers need to pay this season, the total salary bill for this season will be as high as $117 million. And that's not even counting head coach Phil Jackson's $12 million annual salary.
Played like this by the Rockets without Maddie and the Giants, a group of players whose total wages even cost the Lakers less than one-fifth of the salary cap! Even after winning the championship last season, old Bass is going crazy!
----------
After the pause, Lowry was replaced, and the little black bean also knew that he was too crazy to restrain himself, and re-controlled the ball as a point guard to defend the old fish, and the old fish was not as fast as himself, so Brooks directly defended closely, and the old fish wanted to prove himself, and before he could accelerate his speed, he was picked up by Ali, who was sandwiched over, and then Brooks and Ariza quickly went down, but Kobe and Artest quickly returned to the defense.
Artest didn't control Ariza of the ball, but directly found Brooks, and Kobe Bryant used his experience and body to constantly squeeze Ariza's dribble space, after all, he was thin and weak, and he was entangled by Artest on Brooks's side, even if he passed the ball quickly, he would not be able to play, so Ariza stopped and waited for the Rockets player to settle down.
Brooks saw Artest catching up, and he also knew that there was no play, his small body! Once you catch the ball and rush up, it is yourself who is unlucky to meet in the air! So he turned and ran back to meet Ariza.
But as soon as the Rockets players were in place, Brooks, who received Ariza's pass, turned around and directly made a block with Ariza to block Kobe Bryant, who was chasing him, and wanted to hit the Lakers from the top of the right arc, Artest immediately followed the defense, but Brooks was too far behind in strength, so he had to force a jump, and the whole person was attached to Artest.
"Tick!"
Although Brooks threw the ball out, he didn't even touch the basket, but fortunately Artest was made a defensive foul by himself, he made two free throws and two hits, and the Rockets led by 2 points!
The Lakers attacked the old fish with the ball and advanced to the Rockets half, and saw Artest and Kobe Bryant asking for the ball at the same time, but Kobe was stared at by Battier, and he was a little too strong in the second half of the third quarter, and ended the battle with a jump shot at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
The old fish is more inclined to give the ball to Artest! The defender he faced was Ariza, and he was still very sure of attacking Artest in the low post.
So the old fish hoisted the ball to Artest! It's going to start taking Brooks away.
But who knew that at the moment when Artest received the ball, Brooks turned around and directly stabbed the basketball that Artest turned around and held with both hands! Ariza quickly picked it up.
Artest wanted to pounce on it, at least to scrum the ball, but Ariza was quick to roll the ball straight to Brooks, and then the man twisted and dodged to the side! Let Artest pounce.
----------
Brooks, who bent down to pick up the ball, saw that the old fish had pasted up, and rushed to the front court with the old fish as the axis to turn around and accelerate! Kobe Bryant immediately chased back! Brooks had just reached the three-point line, and Kobe Bryant had already caught up.
Although Brooks is fast, Kobe Bryant is at his peak at this time, although the explosive speed may not be able to catch up with Brooks without the ball, but chasing a dribble is easy and pleasant!
Although Kobe Bryant chased up, Brooks continued to rush after a glance, and Kobe Bryant could only grit his teeth to catch up, preparing that if Brooks made a layup, then he would have a chasing cap, if he wanted to make a stop-and-go jump shot! Then you can only seal the eyes, and the height may not be reached if you stop and jump the cover.
But Brooks seemed to sense Kobe's intentions, directly handed the ball to his left hand, passed the ball behind his back, and the basketball flew directly out of the three-point line, and a figure wearing a red jersey of No. 31 intercepted the ball, jumped easily and threw the ball out.
"Huh!"
Sean Battier, many people's first impression of him is that the defense is extremely good, which can make the average data of many superstars drop by one quarter! But he often ignores his ability to shoot at the long range! His excellent psychological quality makes him very calm in the face of this empty three-point shot!
From leading by 11 points to being overtaken by 5 points, the Lakers only took less than 6 minutes, and even fans could see that the Lakers had a problem on the offensive end.
"Rain for Artest, Powell for Bynum!"
Although Artest's defensive ability is urgently needed for the Lakers, now the Lakers need offense, not defense! And Bynum also made the Zen master a little impatient, Bynum seemed to be invisible in the second half, although he got 4 points and 4 rebounds in the first half! So far in the second half, only 2 points have been scored, and only 2 rebounds have been scored.
Although he only scored 4 points and 3 rebounds in the second half, which is likely to be Powell's stats last season, it was a clear failure for Bynum! Last season, Bynum had 8 points and 7 rebounds even in his worst game! It was only about 25 minutes into that game, and now it's 30 minutes!
----------
And Powell's performance in the preseason and China games made the Zen master's eyes shine, and knowing that after Kobe Bryant's first training camp, Powell, Huang Yu and Kwamei still continued to train, I felt that it was not for nothing that they performed well.
Powell played less than 5 minutes in this game and has already scored 6 points and 4 rebounds! If this data is put on Bynum, it is normal, after all, it is a center that focuses on training, and how many teams want to trade the Shark heir that the Lakers are unwilling to let go!
