Chapter 186: Zhou Yang's Thoughts! (2/3)
At this time, the Lakers players knew what the consequences would be if they were suppressed by the Spurs until the fourth quarter.
Kobe Bryant felt it was necessary to play the full 48 minutes today! Seeing the current state of the Lakers, the Spurs feel that the promotion is not far from them! Although 7 games were played! But in the end, it's worth it to win against your opponent!
So the opposing team is gradually becoming crazy! The Lakers now just need to limit Kobe! The Lakers, on their side, clearly feel that the pressure on the Spurs' defense has increased.
Finley gets the ball and immediately passes it to Parker. Brent took Parker's pass and hit a three-point shot directly! 58:48!
Kobe Bryant insisted on dribbling the ball himself! The players on the field did not contradict him either. If this game is lost, then in the end, it will be said that Kobe Bryant himself is too alone. Most of the attention will be on here. It's not that the Lakers players sometimes defend with their eyes and don't make up for it in time.
Under the bag of the other three, Kobe Bryant was successfully defended! When Bowen got the basketball, he immediately passed the ball to Finley, who immediately dunked and scored! Jackson saw that it was time to quickly ask for a timeout. The difference has been stretched to 12 points!
Kobe Bryant stood on the sidelines, looked at the Zen master in some surprise, and then slowly walked to the bench.
"It's the third quarter. If we continue to fight like this, we will have to explain. It's not that the players who go down don't play well. It's that the other party has now figured out your playing style and ideas."
Phil said this to the several players who had just played on the field. It's also not to make the players who are substituted too ugly. In the game just now, there were indeed several Lakers players who already felt that they could only rely on Kobe.
The chances of winning a game like this are much lower. And changing just a few players won't have much effect. The Spurs are already on the verge of taking the Lakers at this time!
"Odom plays a good role as a centre-forward. You know O'Neill can't play for too long now. The next game was captained by Zhou Yang, "Odom just wanted to take over the position of captain of the team and lead these players to play, but he was stunned like his teammates around him before reacting for a few seconds.
"The other party's research on the Lakers is really deep. Some tactics are estimated that they have already guessed. So the next way the Lakers play is that there is no strategy. Zhou Yang led the Lakers to the third quarter of the game. Zhou Yang: You can communicate with your teammates. The Lakers are now 'half life' in your hands."
Jackson seemed relieved. He was not slow to speak for a short time. He didn't give his players much of a chance to react. After saying that, he turned and left.
"Zhou Yang, the command is now in your hands. You are the coach on the field. Say, what do you think, we don't have much time," Odom immediately adjusted his state and immediately said to Zhou Yang beside him.
And the rest of the players who were going to play other than Odom were a little unbelievable. Shouldn't the command be given to Odom?!
"In that case. Let's not use any Lakers tactics. I didn't have any idea for a while. Look at the look in my eyes...... Well, I'll talk about it when the time comes......" Zhou Yang felt the air around him freeze...... Is it okay to look at the eyes?! You think we're the Spurs?! Is the tacit understanding so high, so confident?!
"The sun is about to meet us. But first we have to beat the opponent in front of us. Now we are more than 10 minutes away from winning this game and successfully qualifying. Hold on! Cut off all possible offensive paths in all the Lakers' tactics!! ”
Popovich didn't say anything at all, went over and patted Duncan on the back, and the stone Buddha passed...... Even Nazr was not informed. Seeing Duncan coming straight over, he went back to the bench.
Nazr is now close to being overdrawn in terms of physical fitness! The old man looked back and was okay, so he didn't understand it wrong, so he talked to the team members.
The Spurs interpreted and arranged it in great detail before the game against the Lakers!! If it weren't for the current Lakers having players like Shaq, Odom, and Kobe, the Spurs would be confident that they would sweep each other 4:0!!
"Did the Lakers give up early?!" An assistant coach of the Spurs asked with some surprise when he saw the Lakers' players on the court!
"With Jackson's urine, I guess he won't. But this lineup is really strange. But we've sent Duncan up! There shouldn't be any problem" Although he said this, Popovich's eyes were already focused on the other end of the Lakers bench at this time!
O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were there from time to time chatting about something. The Lakers players off the court were quiet. Kobe Bryant didn't understand which play Phil was playing. His initial surprise and some anger gradually subsided.
I found that he has calmed down a lot this season. There are no more violent emotional ups and downs of previous years. The Lakers' bench players watched their teammates take to the court.
The Lakers' next lineup is Odom, Zhou Yang, Devin, Vujacic and Smush! The Spurs made just one center. And on the Lakers' side, all but the center has been replaced!! Including Kobe!
The Zen master sighed when he saw the players on the field without the other players and the coach noticing. In this round of competition, the Spurs are better than the Lakers as a whole, although they are not much stronger, but they are enough to win the Lakers in a relatively stable situation.
Now, whether it is the fans in the field, or the Spurs players, the coaching staff or their coaching staff, etc., basically think that the ultimate winner of this game is the Spurs.
In the third quarter, the Spurs only needed to expand the score difference to more than 10 or 15 points! Look at the current situation, the Spurs have a 12-point lead over the Lakers! Normally, Spurs can play to this extent, and basically it's very difficult for them to lose games.
The Spurs coaching staff had a black line on their face...... Didn't you just say it was okay? Why are you in such a hurry now?
Popovich is also starting to get a little anxious now. This lineup completely disrupted the four possible tactics they had analyzed in the past! Because Yang came back to the arena last week! What if he doesn't play according to the Lakers' tactics?!
What he didn't expect was that the players on the Lakers were all listening to Zhou Yang at this time. And they don't know what tactics to play now.
"Pass!!" Suddenly, Devin almost fell to his knees with a scare...... When Zhou Yang got the basketball, when the Spurs didn't react much, he directly faced Bowen and came to record the tomahawk dunk!!
"What the hell is this......" Bowen glanced at Zhou Yang hatefully while rubbing his shoulders at this time, and then ran over...... The physical contact between the two men almost dislocated Bowen's arm. Is it okay to be raw?
The Lakers looked stunned at this point, and the players on the Spurs side also had some ominous feelings......
It's not that the Spurs can't understand the Lakers' tactical play. There's no tactical way to play at all!
This is also the idea that Zhou Yang came up with temporarily! When Odom asked him, he suddenly came up with ~ which can be said to be very clever~
The Lakers don't have a clear way to play, how can you Spurs fight us?
After Finley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Parker got the basketball and quickly passed the ball to Bowen! The latter's two-beat slow layup was directly credited by Odom! Zhou Yang ran out behind him and dribbled the ball to the front court after getting the basketball.
The Lakers players could only run after him right away...... Vujacic just thought about it and found that it was the same as he thought! Zhou Yang really passed the ball!
In a quick transition between offense and defense, the Lakers immediately scored three points! Vujacic was about to cry at this time, okay? It's a miracle to be on the court in the playoffs. On the field, someone actually passed the ball to him!!
Although it is an inconspicuous combination. But it was remembered by the Zen master. In the game, as long as Wu Jacic and Zhou Yang are present together, they will have a lot of cooperation! This is often overlooked by other teams.
At present, the main focus of the other teams of the Lakers is on how to defend Lakers Shaq, Kobe Bryant and Odom. How could you focus on two Lakers players at such a young age? The corners of the Zen master's mouth rose slightly at this time.
