Chapter 119: How absurd

"The Lakers have been playing surprisingly well these few minutes," Barkley finally took his hand off his chin, "I thought the plot was going to be that the Miamis would widen the margin to 20 points and then announce party time before halftime." ”

In that case, do we have to go on? That's why I said that the boss has always had a good eye, and there will always be something that attracts attention when choosing a live game. "Kenny. Smith said with a smile, "Lin vs. Addison, I dare say that the Chinese and Chinese fans who watched this game were absolutely excited. ”

Addison had dribbled to the top of the arc and slowly lowered his center of gravity in front of Jeremy Lin, the Heat No. 7 and the Lakers No. 17, the two yellow skins facing each other. Since the Chinese players led by Yao Ming have withdrawn from the top league one after another, this has been a situation that has not been seen for a long time.

Jeremy Lin's defensive skills are not excellent, although he has a keen sense of helping to defend, but his individual defense is poor in terms of body and skill. Despite weighing more than 10 kilograms more than Addison, his defense didn't make full use of his body.

Addison slapped the basketball from his crotch to his right hand, then dribbled the ball to the left with his right hand while taking a step towards the left side of his right leg. Lin took a step to the right, but Addison returned the racket to his left hand again, and then pulled the ball around and passed his opponent along the other side.

"Turn around! Addison's moves are done in one go! Barkley said loudly, "There is still a gap between Lin and Addison in terms of physical fitness, and the Heat No. 7 opened up the distance on the first step after turning around!" ”

Jeremy Lin didn't expect to be so easy, and he hurriedly turned to chase back, but by this time Addison was already jumping on the right side of the free throw line.

"Mid-range pullup jumper! This 18-foot jumper has become Addison's forte! "Kenny. Smith exclaimed, "I seem to have to sigh at Addison's improvement rate every time I broadcast a Heat game, who would have thought that his mid-range shooting ability was close to zero nine months ago?!" ”

After the goal, Addison pointed at Jeremy Lin and smiled and stepped back. Jeremy Lin raised his eyebrows and walked to the bottom line to signal Ed. Davis hurry up and serve.

Before dribbling to the three-point line, Jeremy Lin looked at Addison's defensive stance and slender arm span, and decisively dismissed the idea of singles. Addison is currently averaging 2.4 steals per game, tied with the Spurs' Coy Leonard for the top spot in the league, and Jeremy Lin is reluctant to touch the scissorhands.

Jordan. Hill ran inside to block Addison, and Jeremy Lin dribbled down the right side. Sean. Williams mentioned switching defenses on the line, and Jeremy Lin made a dummy and handed the ball to Ed. Davis, then suddenly accelerated himself from the right side to the left of the free throw line. Davis gave the ball back to the point guard, but by the time Lin wanted to shoot, Addison was back in front of him.

"You really take care of me...... "Jeremy Lin retracted his shooting arm and passed the ball directly to Jordan, who was stuck in the high post. Hill. Hill scored on a high post jumper, and the center has the ability to score a half-volley with one hand, albeit with a hot and cold hand.

The margin returned to 5 points, and Addison looked at Sean quietly. Williams glanced at the Heat's power forward just a block that was more than a beat slower, if it interfered with Jordan in time. Hill has an 80% chance of not making it.

Off the field Spoelstra re-put Chris. Bosh screamed, ready to get 'Dragon' on the pitch at the dead ball. The reason why he put Sean. Williams dropped the starting line-up because the opponent had a lack of concentration on the defensive end.

It seems that to make up for the mistakes on the defensive end, Sean. After Williams came to the inside, he suddenly played a pick-and-roll with Whiteside, and ran to the bottom corner of the left three-point line with the help of cover. Addison quickly passed the ball over to Williams at Wesley. Johnson passed the ball to James on the same side. Ennis, who did not hesitate to shoot from the three-point line.

"Three-pointer hit! The Lakers' outside defense today is really not satisfactory! They always leak their opponents, and the Heat always get open three-pointers to the basket! ”

***

After Addison returned to the court, he not only strengthened the team's offensive firepower, but also limited Jeremy Lin much better than before. Especially after Bosh and Whiteside both returned to the court, the Lakers' pick-and-roll offense was severely restricted, and it was difficult for Jeremy Lin to quickly break through Bosh, who changed the defense, after taking cover, and was also tackled twice by Addison, who helped defend in time.

The margin was stretched to 12 points again in a matter of minutes. Scott reluctantly called a timeout. Tactical execution and team momentum have all been put aside, and now he is facing a gap in the team's strength, and Scott suspects that even if he makes adjustments, it will not have much effect.

He put Kobe Bryant back on the court, and Wesley. Johnson is led by Nick. Yang replaced, hoping to maximize the team's offensive firepower.

Back on the court, the Lakers' first offense was reversed by Kobe Bryant after receiving a pass from Jeremy Lin and shooting outside the three-point line, but the basketball hit the iron and popped up. Chris. Bosh didn't pass to Addison after picking up the rebound, but threw it directly to Ruhr, who was sprinting towards the opponent's half. In Deng's hands, the British shook off Nick. Yang went to the basket and dunked.

"Maybe the weakness of the Lakers gave me the illusion that the Miami starting lineup is so perfect now!" Barkley's eyes widened, and his voice said excitedly, "Chris. . . Bosh can provide excellent pick-and-roll defense, with Whiteside's domineering basket protector under the basket and Ruhr on the wing. Deng is an excellent perimeter defender, and Addison's defensive ability should not be underestimated...... They completely blocked all the opponent's offensive routines! ”

"You're right, Sir Charles, the reason why you think the Heat's lineup is so perfect is because the overall strength of the Lakers is quite different from the opponent. If they're up against the tough and combative guys in Memphis or San Antonio, you're afraid you wouldn't think so. ”

Bryant received the pass again, but instead of attacking on his own, he passed the ball back into Jeremy Lin's hands, signaling the point guard to take the lead and landing himself on the wing.

Jeremy Lin greeted Jordan again. Hill covered and moved the ball toward Kobe's side. The black mamba, who landed in the bottom corner, suddenly ran towards the top of the arc. Ennis followed him, but didn't take two steps, and Bryant quickly changed his center of gravity again and rushed back to the bottom corner.

Ennis was just about to chase him back when he was killed by Ed. Davis blocked, and Bryant cut along the baseline into the three-point line. Jeremy Lin, who was facing Bosh to change defense, launched a ground-hitting pass with both hands, which happened to Kobe Bryant, who was cutting in the air. The Black Mamba, who rushed into the paint, slammed into Whiteside's skilful two-handed ball and lifted up, lighting up the center of gravity of the Heat center, then turned around with his right foot on the axis and threw the basketball into the net with his right hand before Whiteside blocked it.

Charles. Barkley whistled loudly: "Look at this nimble basket foot!" This trick is enough for the active center forwards to learn for two or three years! Whiteside was shaken like a kid who was still playing AUU! ”

"Finally playing some decent games, and if the Lakers can be so successful in every other round, they still have hope of a comeback."

Addison almost forgot that this black mamba was a master off-ball offense in addition to his powerful ball-handling offense. Even though Kobe Bryant is much slower now, his air-cut runs are still sharp.

However, this shot was only one of the few successful combinations that the Lakers played, and they were still suppressed by the Heat on the court, and they couldn't defend themselves against the opposing team's offense.

By the end of the first half, the score had become 62:45 and the Lakers trailed by 17 points on their home court.

"It's not much different from what I thought I was expecting, just three points less than I expected." Barkley shrugged, "I'm thinking about whether I should sleep in the second half, Kenny, you're okay with the commentary alone, right?" ”

"Dear sir, if you don't care about being deducted from your salary this month, you can do as you please." Kenny. Smith replied with a smile, "And I think you're definitely going to be taunted by Ernie as a 'dead pig' the next time you do the show, and honestly, he's wanted to taunt you like that for a long time." ”

The ridicule of the two people in halftime made many viewers happy, which can be regarded as pulling a boost for the ratings, you must know that many people chose to change the channel after seeing this disparity in halftime points.

"I'm disappointed with your performance, guys, disappointed!" Byron. Scott criticized the whole team in the locker room, "Lin, you didn't do anything I asked of you, you better calm down on the bench in the third quarter." ”

Jeremy Lin looked at Byron in disbelief. Scott, who had 7 points and 3 assists in the second quarter, was the best player on the team, although his performance declined after the return of the opposing team.

If it was really his mistake that caused the team to fall behind by a big score, Jeremy Lin would not have any complaints, but now everyone can see that it is a problem of team strength!

He's calm! It doesn't need to be calmer at all!

A resentful Jeremy Lin wanted to refute the manager, but thought about Byron. Scott's position, and the way he treated himself during this time, Jeremy Lin still chose to remain silent.

He's already regretting coming to Los Angeles, and for a guy who is used to attacking with the ball, a manager who completely dislikes himself is the biggest nightmare. Jeremy Lin made up his mind to leave the place at the end of the season, and he must not be in the middle of a manager who doesn't trust him......

Kobe Bryant watched this absurd scene happen in front of his eyes, but he couldn't say anything, he was very clear about his professional positioning and locker room rules. Byron. Scott is also the head coach of the Lakers anyway, and he can't interfere with the head coach's rotation, especially someone who the opponent is determined to dislike.

Bryant could only walk over and pat Jeremy Lin on the shoulder after Scott had laid out his second-half tactics. Since returning from injury, Bryant's paranoia about winning seems to be less crazy, and he has begun to focus more on the relationship and atmosphere in the locker room.

The Black Mamba is old, or rather, he doesn't crave victory so much anymore.
