Chapter 339: Extinguishing Hope for a Counterattack

Bryant stepped on the free-throw line and hit the free throw with a slight smile. McCarvey accelerated the ball from the backcourt and rushed directly to the low position of the frontcourt, handing the ball to Middleton, Middleton didn't find a good opportunity, and distributed the ball to Henson at the top of the arc, Henson handed the ball to the empty cut Brother Alphabet and helped Brother Alphabet block Haugist, but Brother Alphabet threw a three-way shot in the face of Turner's step-back jumper.

The ball flew straight out of the baseline, and the Lakers served the baseline. Kobe Bryant was very excited to play 3+1 and took the initiative to ask for the ball to play alone, Reed gave the ball to Kobe, Kobe Bryant began to show off his fancy dribble on the wing, retreated while showing, pulled to a distance of 7 feet outside the three-point line and signaled Turner to come up to cover, and then used Turner's cover to shake off the defender and rush to the inside to the low post and then gave the ball to Turner who followed up, Turner threw off Henson to catch the ball and flew up directly, violently blocking Parker who switched to the basket.

"You two are playing so high and stealing all my work, don't I have nothing to do on the court?" Hougist asked helplessly.

"You have a lot of work to do! Defend the alphabet brother! We've got to take the load off your shoulders on the offensive end! Kobe joked.

McCarvey broke through from the top of the arc with the ball, dribbled to the left side of the paint area, hit the ground and gave the ball to Parker who cut from the bottom corner on the right side, which was the third time that Parker slipped the baseline to get rid of the defender, but Parker's turnaround jumper in the low post on the left side still failed to hit the basket, and the Bucks' tactics were successful many times, but Parker's hand and luck were a little worse.

This time the rebound was bagged by Kobe Bryant again, Kobe Bryant's playfulness has not disappeared, he continued to dribble for thousands of miles, and after blocking and covering with Turner on the wing, he came out of the elbow area and retreated to the top of the arc, Turner went down the basket from the left elbow area, and no one noticed that Hougist also cut to the basket from the right bottom corner with Randle's cover.

Kobe Bryant sent a cannonball pass straight to the basket, the ball grazed Turner's back and passed, although Turner didn't have long eyes in the back of his head, I don't know if there were teammates, but he understood that this angle and strength were definitely not worn to himself, so he didn't reach out to interfere with the path of Kobe's pass, and even tried his best to make way for the ball.

The ball fell smoothly into the hands of Haugist, who also stood behind the rebound, but it was not difficult for Haugist, who jumped directly into the air outside the baseline, found the right angle to throw the ball behind the side of the rebound, and the ball flipped over the rebound and fell into the basket. After the ball was scored, Bryant squinted his eyes and pointed at Hoggist, signaling that his passing vision was as wide as Hoggist.

Kidd asked for a timeout again, and before he knew it, the Bucks were already trailing by 22 points, and if they didn't do anything, they would be completely ruined. Because Parker's finishing ability was so poor, Kidd pushed him back to the bench to adjust his mentality and sent O'Bryant III.

However, the Lakers' personnel adjustment was even larger, removing the two starting interior linemen and replacing them with Nance Jr. and Yi Jianlian. After a timeout, McCarvey took advantage of the Lakers' unstable foothold to steal an open cut layup and scored two points.

Kobe Bryant's playfulness is undiminished, and he continues to ask for singles, this time he didn't even wait for his teammates to run out of the opportunity, the dribble accelerated to the left side, and took a step to jump directly to shoot a three-pointer, the action was still so beautiful, but he didn't find the crosshairs, Yi Jianlian grabbed two and was naturally invincible, Henson received the rebound and gave it to Middleton, Middleton dribbled and advanced, and after passing the halfcourt, he did a wall-hitting two-by-one with Henson, Middleton overtook Kobe Bryant and then received the ball and attacked the basket directly, facing Yi Jianlian under the basket, directly collected the ball and turned to the basket, Although he turned around Yi Jianlian sharply, he still couldn't avoid Yi Jianlian's long-arm interference, and because of the inertia of rotation, Middleton just rolled over the neck of the basket with a low hand and fell to the other side.

Henson followed up with a flying basket miss, and the referee blew the whistle, but it blew a foul on Yi Jianlian's hitter when Middleton made a layup. Yi Jianlian only dared to complain in his heart that the whistle reaction was too slow!

Middleton was pretty good at the free-throw line, scoring two more points on both free throws to bring the deficit back within 20 points. The Reeds controlled the ball in the front court, Kobe Bryant borrowed Nance Jr. from the inside to cover without the ball and came out to catch the ball, Nance Jr. did a very good job of covering and blocked Middleton, O'Bryant III had to chase Bryant, but Bryant received the pass from the Reeds and hung it directly to Nance Jr. in the low post.

Nance Jr. received the ball and began to hit Middleton with his back, Nance Jr. hit Middleton with a huge disparity in strength, Nance Jr. only leaned on twice and forced it to the basket, turned over and jumped up to hit the basket with a one-handed small throw.

McCarvey dribbled to the front court and handed the ball to Brother Alphabet in the bottom corner, Brother Alphabet wanted to slip to the bottom line and burst strongly, Hougist almost stealed, Brother Alphabet almost dropped the ball in the low position, and hurriedly hit the ball to the elbow area, Henson in the elbow area received the ball and passed it to O'Bryant III, O'Briant III dribbled the ball towards the position of Middleton on the wing, strongly inserted between Middleton and Kobe, took off and stuffed the ball to Middleton, and then arched Kobe Bryant with his big ass to create shooting space for Middleton.

Although Bryant was blocked, the reed, who was defending McCarvey in the bottom corner, suddenly jumped up and jumped up to interfere with Middleton's shot. After Middleton made a shot, O'Bryant III hurriedly rushed inside to grab the rebound, and Middleton's three-point miss, which bounced on the basket and shook the others who jumped first, but it just fell into O'Bryant III's arms.

O'Bryant was directly below the basket, and in order to shoot, he jumped back and pushed the ball to the basket with both hands, but this position was tantamount to self-defeating under the long-arm basket, Yi Jianlian easily blocked his shot with a wave of his long arm, and then calmly dialed the rebound to Nance.

Nance Jr. distributed the ball to the reeds, who dribbled forward, walked to the side, crossed the halfway line, and directly flanked Bryant on the weak side. But Yi Jianlian's running position happened to be on the line between Reed and Kobe, thinking that the ball was passed to him, so he caught the ball as he went, and then stood in the elbow area.

Yi Jianlian didn't know what to do with the ball for a while, so he found Kobe Bryant behind him and understood that the ball was probably passed to Kobe. So Yi Jianlian also turned around like O'Bryant III to distribute the ball to Kobe, and he took advantage of the situation to cover Kobe, Kobe bypassed Yi Jianlian from the middle into the paint area, attracted the bag and then passed the ball out to Yi Jianlian, who was still standing in the elbow area, this is Yi Jianlian no longer hesitated, and directly raised his hand is a mid-range shot, although it is not as picturesque as Kobe, but after rebounding many times in the hoop, he finally stumbled in.

McCarvey dribbled to the front court and began to show off his crotch dribbling, while showing off while advancing to the low post, but after showing for a long time, he dribbled the ball to the foot of the reed, fortunately the referee gave the kick violation, otherwise the ball was lost by McCarvey this time. Brother Alphabet reopened the sideline ball, Henson received a hand-to-hand pass back to the laterally moving Brother Alphabet in the elbow area, Brother Alphabet continued to move sideways, and also handed the ball to O'Bryant III in the elbow area on the other side, O'Bryant III received the ball and made a direct jump shot, Nance didn't even react at all, and could only watch him return a mid-range shot.

After the half-court dribble, the Bucks suddenly increased their defensive intensity, Kobe and Hougist fell into the struggle of the defenders, Kobe retreated outside the three-point line and failed to get rid of the defense to get a chance to receive the ball, so the Reeds also lowered the center of gravity like McCarvey and advanced the fancy dribble face frame, and after coming to the corner of the free throw line, he directly stopped and threw a jumper, but the ball bounced out of the basket very shamelessly.

McCarvey picked up the rebound and dribbled frantically, and didn't get back to the ball until the Lakers basket, but the follow-up brother failed to catch the ball, and when he picked up the ball from the floor again, he was surrounded by the Lakers, but Brother Alphabet was bold and went straight to the basket in disregard of the defense, although he didn't score, but it caused Yi Jianlian's hitter to foul.

Using the dead ball Kidd to remove Henson and replace Plumlee, Brother Alphabet only hit one of the two free throws, and the second free throw did not go into Howgist to protect the rebound, slowly and leisurely advanced to the frontcourt, while reaching out to direct the tactics, and waved Nance to come up and cover when passing through the midfield.

And just when Brother Alphabet turned around and was about to glance at Nance's position to bypass the cover, Hoggist showed a bad smile, suddenly started to accelerate, strode away from Brother Alphabet and went directly to the inside, facing Plumlee's supplementary defense, Hougist collected the ball, and easily passed him with a backhand layup, and easily scored two points.

"Concentrate your buddy, don't be so easily deceived by feints!" Hoggist didn't forget to educate Brother Alphabet after finishing the matter.

Brother Alphabet must be unconvinced, and argued: "Where are you faking a move, you are simply tricking me!" Your command tactics are fake, calling to block and dismantle is also fake, and designing such a complicated routine is just to distract me so that I can steal a chicken to the basket, as for it? ”

"It's all feints, there's no difference between superior and inferior, it's a technical feint, I'm a tactical feint, as long as it can help the team score, it's worth it!" Hoggist laughed.

"Looks like I saw a lot of tricks in your game footage! Your skills are obviously good, why is your style of play a little obscene and cunning? Brother Alphabet asked curiously.

"Good technique, coupled with a variety of tactical traps to trap the opponent, this can guarantee a win! Besides, these little tricks of mine are not foul and non-violated, as the so-called law does not prohibit it! Look away, I'm not a superhero! Hoggist proudly introduced his style of play.

"But many children follow your example, aren't you afraid to teach bad children like this?" Brother Alphabet asked worriedly.

"It's no problem imitating my playing skills and tricks! It's not my responsibility to use these deceptive tricks in social life off the field, and I never use them outside of the arena. Hoggist spread his hands and shirked the blame.

O'Bryant III had hit a mid-range shot before, McCarvey wanted to try his luck on him again, so he dribbled through the middle, and then distributed the ball to O'Bryant III, who was standing in the elbow area where he had just scored, O'Bryant received the ball and shot decisively again, this time the opportunity was even better than just now, it was a complete vacancy, but this time O'Bryant III's shot failed to hit.

However, the Bucks' rebounding in the third quarter was really energetic, and Plumlee survived in the gap under the basket and turned the ball back into the basket.

The Lakers attacked, the reeds hoisted the ball from the top of the arc to Nance, Nance Jr. beat O'Bryant III in the low post, and saw McCarvey coming over twice, Nance Jr. thought to himself McCarvey coming over to wrap himself in the top of the arc Reed will not be empty? So he wanted to give the ball to the reed at the top of the arc, but the ball was thrown out and found that there was no one at the top of the arc.

It turned out that the reed had already started to run to the bottom corner, and McCarvey came to the low position with the anti-reed, and McCarvey's body blocked his vision, so he couldn't see the reed, thinking that McCarvey was here to trap himself. With a mistake giving away the ball for nothing, Nance Jr. thumped his head in frustration.

Hoggist came up and slapped Nance Jr. twice on the head, telling him not to care about the mistake and stand on the last shift of the third quarter. McCarvey made a comeback with the dribble, broke through the middle with Plumlee's cover on the wing, stepped into the paint area and started to throw a pass to Plumlee in the air, Plumlee was a step slower, and it seemed that he couldn't catch up with the ball when he jumped, but who would have thought that McCarvey's pass actually smashed on the rebound and bounced into the basket.

Hoggist dribbled to the frontcourt, Kobe opened his hand to ask for the ball, Hoggist gave the ball, Kobe Bryant rushed to the basket from the wing along the bottom line, but the follow-up was unable to make a wonderful pull, but with Kobe's ball quotient this is not a problem, directly in the air to make a headshot, the ball to the basket stuck on the head of Plumlee, Plumlee's first reaction is naturally to protect his face instead of receiving the ball, the ball smashed on Plumlee's arm and popped out of bounds.

The Lakers served at the bottom line, Nance answered in the low post, Horgist sent the ball to receive Nance's hand-handed pass in the low post, retreated to the line in the face of the bag clip, and O'Bryant III, who was switching defenses in the middle, jumped up, and was about to shoot, but saw Kobe quietly retreat from the low post to the bottom corner, and Middleton, who was the main defense of Kobe Bryant under the basket, was staring at him and did not realize that Kobe was no longer behind him.

Horgist continued to throw the ball out with a shooting gesture, twisting his wrist with the piggyback on the shot, and the ball flew from the top of the arc in an incredible arc to the bottom corner in full view. Everyone was stunned, except for Kobe Bryant, who received the ball. Kobe Bryant had an expression that I believe you would be able to pass over, and after receiving the ball, he shot three points directly, not giving Middleton any reaction time at all. By the time Middleton pounced in vain, the ball had hollowed into the net.

With 47 seconds left in the third quarter and the margin back to 20 points, McCarvey's mood was not affected, so he once again completed a pick-and-roll with Plumlee, this time he did not pass again, but hit a 2-point shot himself.
