Chapter 388: Kobe Bryant's physical strength is in a hurry

Paul came to the front court like a whirlwind, and the front court formed a 3-on-2 situation, Paul attracted Jeremy Lin's defense and then distributed the ball to Redick on the wing, Redick made a decisive three-point shot, but unfortunately this ball did not shoot his level at all, and actually flew out of bounds directly by grazing the neck of the basket.

Hougist and Kobe Bryant also ran back to the inside line at this time, and they were relieved to see such a result, after all, the two of them got carried away just now. Haugist looked at Paul, his mouth was a little itchy, but when he saw Paul shaking his head helplessly looking at Reddick's back, he couldn't help but say more.

Jeremy Lin dribbled to the front court, Hougist received the ball at the top of the arc, Jeremy Lin and Kobe crossed and ran back, one after the other, from the elbow area on both sides to the basket, Hoggist distributed the ball to Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant stopped and jumped up after receiving the ball, but did not shoot, but chose to continue to share the ball to Jeremy Lin, who received the ball and easily made a rebound, and the Lakers extended the difference to 9 points.

Paul chose to give the ball to Griffin for this offense, Griffin and Redick blocked and dismantled at the top of the arc many times, but Kobe Bryant and Haugist's defensive cooperation was even more seamless, Redick didn't get a chance to shoot several times, and finally after Redick received the ball for the third time and raised his hand to lure Kobe to the outside, he did not choose to return the ball again Griffin to find an opportunity to shoot outside, but directly rushed into the interior line and chose to throw in the paint area.

This is not the offensive style that Redick is used to, and with Kobe's pursuit, Redick once again threw an outrageous throw, and the front of the basket was actually crooked and smashed on the rebound on the right side of the basket. At the same time as the rebound was smashed, the 24-second offensive time was also exhausted, and because the ball failed to touch the basket, the referee directly patted his head and gave a 24-second offensive violation.

The Lakers opened the sideline ball, Hougist went directly to Kobe Bryant again, Kobe held the ball three threats, Hoggist returned to the court and asked for the ball on the side, Redick considered that Kobe Bryant feinted twice in a row, and finally chose to divide the ball, this time it was time to attack by himself, so he did not interfere with Kobe's ball.

Kobe Bryant did not live up to Redick's "trust", and sure enough, he started to attack with the ball, and hit Redick with a strong back in the elbow area, Redick naturally couldn't move Kobe, and was knocked away by Kobe Bryant in two hits, Kobe Bryant directly turned over and jumped after creating offensive space, Griffin on the line hurriedly pounced, Kobe jumped in the air and gave the ball to Haugist again.

Hougist received the ball at the top of the arc and shot three points directly, but he didn't expect his hand to become very cold from sometime. Jordan Jr. easily picked up the rebound and gave the ball to Paul, who accelerated to the front court on the side and hit a mid-range shot in the low post against Kobe's defensive limit.

Hougist hurriedly raised his hand to signal, he thought that the conversion was entirely caused by the loss of an open ball that he had to score, but he still had the lead in his hand, and everyone didn't care about the wins and losses of the past two rounds. Jeremy Lin transported to the top of the arc and gave Kobe Bryant to the bottom corner.

Kobe Bryant received the ball and moved to the line, borrowed Hougist's cover in the elbow area and reflexively broke through to the paint area, suddenly jumped to the paint area and turned around as if to find Hoggist, who was going to be dismantled, this move attracted the defensive attention of the Clippers players, but Kobe Bryant threw the ball back to the weak side of the low post, Randle received the ball and was unguarded in front of him, and hit an easy jumper.

The Clippers advanced to the frontcourt, Paul called Griffin on the wing to block and cooperate, broke through a step to split the ball to Griffin who was dismantled to the elbow area, and Horgist made a gesture of please in order to break Griffin's shooting confidence, signaling to let Griffin shoot at will. Griffin knew that he would be a laughing stock if he didn't shoot at this point, so he had to bite the bullet anyway.

However, Griffin raised the ball and was about to jump to make a move, but Horgist waved his arm and pounced, Griffin hurriedly collected the ball and stopped, but the inertia was too great and he almost walked in violation of the law. When Griffin stopped, Haugist also stopped at the same time, still staring at him with a smile, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm just kidding, you keep shooting!" ”

Griffin angrily chose to force him head-on, wanting to use the impact of his weight to take revenge on Horgist, but Horgist went against the norm and moved sideways to make way for Griffin. Griffin didn't have time to think about it, and when he saw an opportunity, he dribbled inside, but Horgist's way was a trap, and after Griffin dribbled, Horgist used his reach to easily reach out and poke Griffin's ball out from behind.

Randle, who was in the low post, picked up the ball and made a bold decision in an instant, throwing it straight to the front court, because after so much time playing and training, he believed that Horgist would always be the first to receive the ball. Hoggist has indeed started to accelerate, Griffin can't catch up, but Paul's speed is not covered, he chased up from near the baseline and chased to the Clippers' half-court near the three-point line has been neck and neck with Hoggist.

Seeing that Paul was about to copy in front of him, Haugist played a little trick again, he directly stretched out his arm from the top of Paul's head to the rebound, and then took a big stride to accelerate the jump, jumped high and took off in the air, received the ball that bounced back on the rebound, and completed a big windmill slam dunk with his arm. And Paul, because of his limited height, could only sigh after Haugist flicked the ball to the rebound.

After the goal, Hougist ran back and pointed at Randle, but Randle joked: "Let's dunk a few fewer baskets!" The shooting feel of the dunk is gone! ”

Paul's face was a little ugly, he drove the ball and waved his hand to signal his teammates to cross the baseline, Redick came out to catch the ball, Kobe's close-face defense made Redick unable to shoot, Redick hit the ground to Jordan Jr. in the low post, and he cut to the paint. Redick was going to run to the weak side and look for opportunities, as cutting to the basket was not what he was good at.

But in the paint area, Redick unexpectedly threw off Kobe's defense, in the face of this sudden vacancy, little Jordan naturally refused to miss, because he himself has no independent offensive ability, and the scoring means mainly rely on fighting for offensive rebounds and waiting to eat cakes, the ball is a waste of resources in his hands, but Redick is not good at this kind of assault play, and he looks a little confused in the face of the ball passed by Jordan Jr.

This stunned Kobe Bryant instantly made up for Redick, who had to distribute the ball to the weak elbow area to reorganize Griffin, but passed the ball straight into Hougist's arms, and Hougist did the same, throwing the ball forward to the court, this time it became a race between Jeremy Lin and Paul.

Paul thought that he would not suffer in speed this time, but Jeremy Lin's speed exceeded Paul's expectations, coupled with Jeremy Lin's years of experience in playing Dota 2, he was always stuck in Paul's travel route, so he couldn't raise his speed, so he had to watch Jeremy Lin get the ball again to complete the layup.

In fact, Paul originally wanted to give some physical confrontation or steals when Jeremy Lin made a layup, but Jeremy Lin somehow became obscene, imitating Hougist's pouting action for a layup, arching Paul out of his reach of the ball, and licking the basket steadily. The margin stretched to 13 points, and Coach Rivers called a timeout again.

"It's okay Jeremy, play with the big ass Paul and beat the back of the frame, this is Shiyi's long skill to control it!" Hoggist raised his hand to welcome Jeremy Lin's triumphant return, and casually teased in Chinese.

"Then if I use this trick on Harden, is it called 'giving back to the other in the other way'?" Jeremy Lin asked in Chinese.

Hougist looked at Jeremy Lin's butt and shook his head with a smile, "Slap Harden with your ass?" You're right! Hahaha......"

Kobe Bryant returned to the bench and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his body with a towel, and Hoggist sat next to him and asked, "Boss, you don't have full firepower here!" What's the matter, is it going to rest or continue playing? ”

"I'm fine, let's play for a few more minutes! Fight for this section to take the suspense out of the game! Bryant said with a frown.

Hoggist wanted to persuade Kobe not to be too reluctant, but Kobe's character was clear to everyone, and Hoggist didn't plan to do any more useless work, so he nodded and did not rotate personnel.

After the timeout, the Clippers also did not make personnel adjustments, Paul and Jordan Jr. cooperated at the top of the arc to block and dismantle, but they couldn't run a chance, so Paul gave the ball to Griffin in the low post, Griffin received the ball and accelerated and forcibly turned around to try to wipe off Horgist, this time Griffin's technical moves were very successful, directly bypassing Horgist and facing the empty basket.

But Hoggist was naughty again, he took the initiative to let Griffin go, and saw that Griffin was about to lick the basket with his low hand, and the ball was not tightly protected, so he directly stabbed the ball in Griffin's hand from behind with his long arm. Griffin felt a loosening of his hand as soon as he jumped up with the ball in both hands, looked down and found that the ball was poked out by Horgist, and hurriedly reached out to reach it, but because his arms were short, he only knuckles did not reach the ball, but he couldn't hold the ball, and the ball finally flew out of the bottom line, and because it was the last ball that Griffin touched, the ball still returned to the Lakers' side.

Jeremy Lin continued to look for Kobe Bryant in the front court, Kobe and Hougist's off-ball cover seemed to have become an unsolvable tactic, Hougist could always block Redick, and Griffin always had to face a dilemma, if he didn't change his defense and wait for Redick to go around, then Kobe Bryant could directly get the opportunity to shoot in the middle distance; If you go to switch to Kobe, then Redick will have to face Haugist's sharp individual offense, which will be equally difficult to defend. Griffin was also helpless, and all he could do was pray to God to let his opponent not throw in.

Of course, not every prayer was answered by God, and Bryant hit another solid jumper from mid-range. This goal forced Rivers to make a major decision, let Paul defend Kobe, and use Redick to defend Jeremy Lin instead, Rivers thinks that Paul's lower handicap is solid, and it should not be too much of a loss to switch to Hougist, as for the height problem, Paul can make a steal before Hougist makes a move!

The Clippers went to the frontcourt, and Paul organized at the top of the arc. Redick was very depressed during this time, and he suddenly thought that with Kobe's age, his physical strength should be almost to the limit if he insisted for so long, so he wanted to use his advantage of being younger and more physically energetic to drag Kobe Bryant down first, so Redick began a wide range of repeated off-ball running.

Redick went around and around the baseline several times, and finally shook off Kobe Bryant's position on the flank, received the ball and turned directly to shoot a three-point jumper, and threw the ball out before Kobe's hand sealed the shooting space.

Jeremy Lin dribbled to the frontcourt and wanted to find Kobe, but Hougist took the initiative to ask for the ball on the wing, and Jeremy Lin didn't know what to do, but still passed the ball over. Hoggist motioned to Kobe Bryant in the bottom corner to come up to catch the ball, and it looked like he was going to do a hand-to-hand cover pass, but when Kobe was about to run in front of Hoggist, Hogist suddenly dribbled and changed direction and forced to break through.

Griffin Paul and even Kobe Bryant were stunned, Paul and Griffin didn't understand why Hoggist would let Kobe bring the defense over before starting to break through, but Paul still subconsciously contracted to the elbow area to wrap Hoggist and tried to cut the ball and steal, but Hoggist hit the ball from the crotch to Kobe Bryant when he attracted Paul to the box, Kobe instantly understood Hoggist's intention after receiving the ball, and directly opened his hand and returned an empty three-pointer.

It's a pity that this ball was like Haugist just now, and it also failed to score, and the ball grazed the front of the basket and slid out of the bottom line. Horgist understood that Redick's tireless continuous running just now was to consume Kobe's physical strength, and now it seems that his purpose has been hit, so Horgist hurriedly signaled for a substitution, and couldn't help but say that he used Nick. Young replaces Kobe.

Kobe Bryant could also understand Hoggist's decision, didn't say anything, walked back to the court, and continued to accept Fan Xiaohong's big sword to recover his physical condition. The Clippers attacked in the frontcourt, and Redick seemed to have confidence, once again using the cover to move coquettishly, and calmly shot a three-point shot under the cover of Jordan Jr. after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, but this time it ended in iron.

Haugist picked up the rebound and gave it to Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lin pushed the fast break, Paul came up to interfere, Jeremy Lin returned the ball to Haugist, Hougist received the ball in the half court and accelerated directly to break through, and suddenly stopped in the paint area to give the ball to Turner in the low post, Turner received the ball and shook Jordan Jr., and was about to break through to the basket with a short body, but was blown by the referee for a walking violation.

With 3 minutes and 29 seconds left in the third quarter, the Clippers began to make substitutions after the dead ball, and Rivers saw Kobe Bryant go off the court and felt that it was time to start strengthening the offense, so he replaced Bamot with No. 1 Stephenson. Hoggist also began to change players, replaced with Reed Nance and Yi Jianlian, and returned to the No. 3 position to play as a playmaker.
