The Lakers' offense, the Bobcats' defense lined up and continued to mark the defense.

Kobe Bryant took the ball from the outside, and Pau Gasol mentioned high and received Kobe's pass without cover and pick-and-roll.

Then, Gasol stopped the ball in the high post, held the ball in both hands, and began his high play.

Bryant cut through the air, bypassed the low post Meme's screen, and rushed to the left corner with a step inside the three-point line, but Andre Iguodala followed closely and didn't fall behind at all.

Kobe Bryant didn't have a chance, Gasol came directly by himself, faked a turn and shook Josh Smith, then picked up a step back and threw a long-range two-point shot, bang, no score.

After the Lakers finished two rounds of offense, Qiao Hai had basically decided: "Byron, this guy, is not bad in terms of tactics." ”

"They're playing a variant of Princeton's offense, plus our pass-and-cut offense?" Tang Yi summed it up slightly, but he was still a little uncertain.

Qiao Hai nodded: "That's right, Pau Gasol's high post strategy, there may be a low post strategy later, plus Kobe Bryant and Sean Marion's passes, Derrick Fisher stood in the bottom corner, creating a three-point threat in the bottom corner, and Kris Mim blocked and covered in various positions." ”

"So, Don Sr., you're right, this guy Byron is playing Princeton plus passing."

After figuring out the Lakers' offensive play, Qiao Hai is even more confident in winning this game, because the Bobcats' opening tactics and strategies are correct.

The Lakers still couldn't score, and the Bobcats grabbed the backcourt rebound again, and this time, their counterattack was unsuccessful because Perkins, who grabbed the rebound, couldn't pass the ball out in the first place.

"The Lakers play very thieves, the first time they lose their offensive rebounds, they will fight back on the spot, and if they grab it, it is a direct opportunity to score, and if they can't grab it, it can also delay our counterattack and fast break."

After Byron Scott coached the Nets, he went to Qiao Hai to study for half a year, and his progress was visible to the naked eye, and all kinds of small details on both offensive and defensive ends of the Lakers reflected Byron Scott's progress.

You must know that many coaches in the NBA are not detail-oriented, and only a few successful coaches pay great attention to details, such as Qiao Hai.

On the court, the Bobcats failed to fight back, the Lakers' retreat defense was already in place, and a regional joint defense was formed, and the defense was completely expanded, and Qiao Hai's pre-game prediction was confirmed.

Paul held the ball, observing the Lakers' defense, and soon, Perkins came around and gave a cover, Paul held the ball, accelerated and rushed straight in.

On the flank, Sean Marion came to assist in the defense, and Paul passed the ball directly to Andre Iguodala.

Iguodala drew in Bryant's reinforcement again, and Iguodala passed the ball again.

In this way, several passes in succession, the Bobcat found Michael Reid in the bottom corner, Reed made a three-point shot, his hand fell with a knife, and with a bang, the ball went in!

At 5:0, the Bobcats opened with a small advantage.

For the Lakers, they have to score as soon as possible.

Faced with the pressure of scoring, Kobe Bryant took over the basketball again, and the mid-range singles, the Bobcats did not choose to pinch the shot, but let Iguodala defend alone.

Iguodala's pressure increased dramatically, and in the face of Kobe's three threats, he kept moving his steps slightly, opening his arms, staring at Kobe's shoulder, trying to draw Kobe's next step through Kobe's shoulder movements.

So, then, he saw Kobe Bryant suddenly take a step, and Iguodala was shaken.

Then, Kobe Bryant picked up a step-back jumper, shot directly, and with a bang, the ball went in!

"Kobe Bryant hit a mid-range single, stepped back and hit a jumper, and the Lakers pulled back two points!"

After this ball, the Bobcats finally served in the backcourt.

In the frontcourt, Paul still held the ball, he found Michael Reed, played a small screen cooperation, blocked and dismantled, the ball was given to Reed, Reid controlled a few steps, and passed Josh Smith's screen.

Then, the opportunity to misplace the single, in the face of Pau Gasol, Reed broke through short, and the Lakers had to implement a pinch shot, Reed divided the ball into the bottom corner, Andre Iguodala received the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

Bang, come in!

"Andre Iguodala also scored a three-pointer, the Bobcats' offense began to explode again, Byron Scott should respond as soon as possible, the past dozens of games, the Bobcats relied on this opening wave, took the lead, and then maintained the lead until the end of the game, and finally won."

Byron Scott frowned, he found that Qiao Hai on the opposite side seemed to have already seen through his defensive arrangement, and for two consecutive balls, the Bobcats resolutely hit inside.

This worked, as the defense expanded and the Lakers had to use a defender in the bottom corner to pinch in the face of the Bobcats' impact on the interior.

Two balls in a row, the Bobcats hit the basket, and then the ball split into the corner, and the shooter in the bottom corner hit a three-pointer.

After a wave of 8:2, the situation is not optimistic for the Lakers.

Byron Scott stood up, and instead of calling a timeout, he clasped his hands to his chest and supervised the Lakers' offense for the next round.

Bryant took the ball and continued to play singles in the mid-range position.

This time, in the face of Kobe's single, Iguodala followed closely, and Kobe made another step-back jumper, and Iguodala pounced, forcing Kobe to slightly take a little back.

But after the shot, this ball was iron again, and Kobe's step-back jumper in this game was already three consecutive irons, and it looked quite average.

The Bobcats grabbed the rebound, and after the ball, Byron Scott was already standing close to referee Joe Crawford.

Regardless of whether the Bobcats scored or not, he was ready to call a timeout.

And then, the Bobcats' subsequent offense did not "disappoint" Byron Scott, and Perkins, who grabbed the rebound, passed the ball directly and made a long pass to find Paul in the frontcourt.

The opportunity to counter arose and Paul rushed to the frontcourt, got rid of Derrick Fisher with an acceleration and got to the basket for an easy layup.

At 10:2, the Bobcats have already taken an eight-point lead.

And on the sidelines, a beep whistle blew, and Joe Crawford blew the whistle to signal the Lakers to take a timeout.

The main players of the two teams left the field, the players on the bench handed over towels, and Qiao Hai also called Gerard Wallace directly from the bench: "Gerrard, get ready to play." ”

"Kendrick, you come down and rest for a while, and we'll play five."

"Hit five small?"

Elvin Gentry glanced up at the time, it was only more than 4 minutes into the opening, and Qiao Hai was about to go to five hours?

Qiao Hai didn't explain, because now is not the time to explain, he quickly made adjustments, speeding up on the offensive end and speeding up on the defensive end, reducing the pinching of Kobe Bryant, who had a poor hand in this game, and instead used infinite defense to deal with Kobe's singles.

On the other side, Byron Scott constantly emphasized the offense, and he felt that in the opening four minutes, the Lakers were poor defensively, but the offense was even worse, so he believed that for the Lakers, their first priority was to open the offense.
