Chapter 435: Unpredictable Outcome
"Kobe, what do you think of the first quarter that just ended?" O'Neill incarnated as a reporter and interviewed Kobe Bryant around him on the spot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Bryant said: "It looks like the Kings got into shape earlier than the Lakers. They played smoothly, but it was the Lakers because of the 'home pressure'. The more they try to play well, the less they play. It's a psychological problem, and it needs to be enlightened by Laurie Cecilia, and it's what he's good at, and I'm not worried. ”
O'Neal said: "Even if it didn't go well, the Lakers still clung to the score, and the Kings only had a three-point lead. "Yes, the Lakers have a big advantage, so I'm going to win." The four-character mantra of the heavy section of the section.
The Lakers had a tough time. It's like they've been stuck in something, like a stab in the throat, and everything is not going well. To break the situation, they gave the ball to Bender, who was most sure.
This year's Bend averaged 21 points, 11 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game in the regular season, shooting 53% from the field. This kind of data, such a hit rate, is a superstar performance for any interior lineman. In Bender, however, it was just past the passing line. Since his rookie season, he has never averaged less than 22 points per game.
Expectations put pressure on Bender. With his back to Merris, his tonnage strength has no advantage, dangling around, Merris is like an old tree, entrenched in the ground, completely ignoring his movements.
Helpless, Bender could only take a step back and choose to shoot. Merris can be selected for the All-Defensive Team, so he naturally has real skills. Bender made a move, and his block came immediately. Although he didn't touch the ball, he completely broke the rhythm of Bender's shot.
"This ball can enter my draft three catties!" Merris yelled at Bend. Sure enough, Merris grabbed the rebound, "Bender, you're just like that." "Don't get complacent too soon." Bender can only let go of cruel words, and turn back to earn face.
than the excitement of the first quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Kings calmed down.
Wang Weiyu's aggressiveness disappeared, like a porter pouring the ball on the outside. The ball passed through the hands of four people in a row, and finally returned to Wang Weiyu's hands. The last person to touch the ball was Wood, who passed the ball to Wang Weiyu, and he wanted to run under the basket. Wang Weiyu picked up the ball and threw it upward.
"Wow!" It's a stunning fit. Wood jumped up and caught the ball from Wang Weiyu in the air, gently put it to the basket next to him, and put the ball in, which was so simple that it couldn't be simpler to relay in the air.
Bryant immediately pointed out the problem: "Ed Nathee's defensive attention is simply amazing, how can you be a starter with that level of focus?" Cecilia was inconsiderate in this arrangement. "He's the only interior player on the Lakers team who matches Bender in terms of speed." O'Neill explained.
"No matter how fit it is, it can't cover up his lack of concentration, which is very fatal for the game, just imagine you have to defend the opponent's last attack, and Ed Nashy gets distracted..."Kobe Bryant always likes to imagine the worst-case scenario. "If that happens, he's definitely going to be traded," O'Neill said. "If I had been the Lakers' uniform, I would have traded him a long time ago." Bryant has a big opinion about Naxi.
"Meislan, you get ready." When Bryant was angry at Nashsee on the commentary bench, Cecilia was ready to make a substitution.
It's like O'Neill said. Ed became the starter because he was a good match with Bender. With him on the court, Bender can concentrate on playing the number five position and maximizing his defence. If someone else is replaced, Bender can only play in the number four position.
Playing the No. 4 position means that Bender has to stay away from the basket. Letting an interior player who can be a defensive system of his own get out of the basket and defend a player alone is a terrible thing.
However, Naxi's form is not suitable to stay on the field. Under the trade-off, Cecilia can only endure the pain of substitution, fortunately, the Lakers' lineup has enough depth, otherwise doing this, the destruction of the system is small, and the chemistry of the main players will be greatly bad.
Bender finally played his own style. His ball-handling breakthrough is Merris' most feared attack. Bender is quicker than Merris, and once he pulls up the pitch and breaks through, Merris struggles to defend him.
Merris's misposition was like Raglan's, because he couldn't keep up with the pace and was stepped over by Bender. Wood helped defend under the basket and was eaten by Bender as a snack.
"Are you standing here trying to scare me?" Bender dunks on Wood's head. The sensitive referee blew the whistle again, and the goal was scored, as well as the penalty kick. Bender's aura frightened Wood, a devouring aura he had never felt on any insider.
Wood's foul brought Ed Nathee's successor, Meislan Befort, on stage. He is a pure center, with a height of 2.15 meters, a certain ability to protect the basket, and especially excellent protection for rebounds. His problems are the same as many centers of the same height. He's too slow.
That's why Bender has to go out and defend. Imagine if you let a slow inside line like Befort chase Wood. Then Wood will definitely be able to rely on running to get opportunities, and if Wood shoots in the high post, the blow to the Lakers will be fatal.
Therefore, Cecilia would rather take the risk of being blown up by Merris on the inside and abandon Bender's help defense than make substitutions. Compared to these two, it is important to avoid Merris and Wood breaking out together.
Obviously, it's not the inner line that is going to bloom. Cecilia overestimated the excitement of the Imperial team.
The chemistry is high to a certain level, and teammates will form a tacit understanding like a heart-to-heart connection. Passing and running left the Lakers' defense completely chaotic.
passed the ball four or five times, and finally returned to Wang Weiyu's hands. The surrounding environment is completely different from when Guo was half-time. The pass just now roiled the Lakers' defense, and it's time to break through their defense.
Simon was protruded from the left side by Wang Weiyu, and his body leaned hard against Wang Weiyu. Hands raised high avoid being caught by the referee for a foul. Wang Weiyu didn't expect to rub his foul, he didn't expect Simon to retreat so quickly, and now he can only make a move, there is no way out.
"Bang!" Under the confrontation with Simon, Wang Weiyu had no touch, and the ball popped off the basket.
Wood rushed for the rebound like a mad dog and redirected the ball to the basket. The ball bounced a few times and fell out again, and Befort thought he could catch it, but unexpectedly, there was a giant beast behind him.
Merris picked up a rebound above his head and shot as he fell.
"Bang!"
"Good shot!"
"This momentum—" O'Neill's tongue swirled, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Kobe Bryant said: "I take back my previous words, today's game, the outcome is unpredictable." ”
