"Bryant grabbed an offensive rebound, put a basket inside, the ball went in, and caused a foul."

In the fiery atmosphere, the DJ shouted excitedly.

The fans immediately gave warm applause, judging from the current game, Kobe's performance is really tough enough, this can be called the toughest game he has played since recovering from an Achilles tendon injury.

The Heat lost the defensive rebound, James immediately looked a little unhappy, and the head coach Spoelstra on the sidelines also looked solemn.

On the other hand, Chu Xuan's expression was flat, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow. Everything is going according to the trajectory he expected, and putting Kobe Bryant in the low post to attack is obviously very effective.

Just like this ball just now, after Bryant missed the shot, he got the rebound in the first place, and then the inside was strong to score the ball and create a foul on Haslem.

And Kobe Bryant was able to grab offensive rebounds, which was completely because after the low post was pulled away, the Heat's interior line was empty, and the rebounding protection declined.

And this also made Chu Xuan understand that his choice in this field was correct.

"It looks like Kobe Bryant is an inside player today, and this is his fifth rebound." O'Neill smiled slightly, teasing his former brother.

"Well, the Heat didn't do a good job of protecting rebounds. Before the end of the half, they had already conceded seven offensive rebounds. Barkley shook his head helplessly, he was a little surprised and surprised by the course of today's Christmas matchup.

Originally, he thought that the Heat would keep the Lakers under pressure all over the court, but he didn't expect that the result would be reversed. From the beginning of the game to now, the Heat have not been able to lead the Lakers in the score.

"The Heat's small-ball play would have cost them rebounding, as they relied on offensive efficiency and quick counter-attacks. However, today the Heat ran into problems on offense, which kept them on the passive. ”

Kenny was right, the Heat couldn't shoot from the outside today, and the Lakers' defensive focus was entirely on the outside. And they put two big centers on the inside, thus obliterating the Heat's breakthrough kill. This left the Heat completely without an offensive threat. I think the only solution at the moment is to let LeBron play more low post and then use Greg Oden more. ”

"Charles, do you mean to let the Heat and Lakers fight for height?"

Barkley smiled, "Yes, they have to." That's the only way the Heat can solve the game. Don't talk about passing the ball anymore, just let LeBron play hard in the low post. ”

"Yes, Charles is right, and I think I should do it. Maybe the situation will change a lot. ”

……

And sure enough, under the fact that the Heat's offensive situation has not been able to open, James finally began to act.

The Heat's lineup began to change, and Haslem opted to run low on the other side to open up space for James.

Today, James' ability to attack with the ball in the low post is already very strong, and what was once his biggest disadvantage has become his advantage. And that's exactly what makes James scary, he's always trying to improve himself and strive to be the best he can be.

Green defends James in the low post, and his strength is still slightly inferior. However, his defense is tenacious, and he takes the initiative to find physical confrontation with James.

However, Green can't rely on his own defense to guard James. Therefore, without the help of the bag, James began to hit goals constantly.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant, who found his touch, also began to play, and in the face of Wade, he chose his signature turnaround jumper many times, and the shooting rate was very high.

The stars of both sides began to play, and the excitement of the game rose to a new level.

In the following time, Chu Xuan did not make defensive changes, but only made substitutions during the timeout.

On the Heat side, the whole team shot inaccurately, and Spoelstra finally began to choose to start from the inside. During a timeout, he put Oden on the field.

As it turned out, Spoelstra made a wise decision, and as soon as Oden got on the court, he used his huge physique to get into position on the inside and grab the rebound like a beast.

And, after that, he used a dunk to help James get his first assist. Subsequently, Oden hit Whiteside twice in a row, both of which were hit. It can't help but light up.

"Hassan, mainly jamming his left side."

When he saw Auden get the ball again, Chu Xuan paced on the sidelines and shouted.

When Whiteside heard this, he immediately did so. And sure enough, Harden was clumsy when he turned around with a strong hit, and was finally covered by Whiteside when he made a shot.

The basketball flew off the court, and the game came to a brief halt.

"Well done, man, keep it up." Chu Xuan chuckled.

James couldn't help but turn his head, frowning slightly, looking at Chu Xuan's gaze a little unkindly.

……

Soon, after halftime, the score became 46:55, and the Lakers, who were playing at home, led by 9 points.

When it was time for the intermission, the prepared program began to be performed.

At both ends of the venue, reporters conducted half-time interviews with the personnel of both sides.

On the Lakers' side, it was naturally Chu Xuan who was interviewed. The media that interviewed it was ESPN.

"Chu, you played a great first half, and the Heat's shooting percentage was very low. Does that mean you've found a way to defend the Heat? ”

Chu Xuan's expression was calm, and he said: "I can't say that, they are missing two main players, which may make them not very suitable for playing. For us, it's just about defending every round. ”

"Neither LeBron nor Kobe Bryant played particularly well in the first half. As the absolute star of today's game, what do you think of the arrangement for Kobe? ”

"In today's game, Kobe Bryant is our number one offensive option. In the second half, I tried to play as much as I could for him. As for LeBron, he just hasn't found his shooting touch yet. He's one of the best players in the league and we can't afford to let up our defense against him. ”

……

On the other side of the field, Director Wei Ping was conducting an interview with James.

"LeBron, you're in the middle of it now, what adjustments are you going to make in the second half?"

James looked a little depressed, and the Lakers' defense today made him not find a comfortable feeling: "Our shooting is not very good, the opponent's defense is very aggressive, and they emphasize physical confrontation first today." We can't be afraid and in the second half we will play with intensity. ”

"Can you talk about Chris's absence and the Lakers' coach Chu Xuan?"

'Chris was out for today's game, which was a terrible feeling and had a big impact on us. We'll make adjustments, though. ”

James said, and stopped.

"What about Chu Xuan? As a rookie coach, he's leading the Lakers on a winning streak, and he's taken the Lakers to second place in the West, and as today's opponent, can you talk about him? ”

James frowned slightly, shook his head and smiled: "I have seen his coaching, it is very distinctive, but it is not excellent." However, if he trains for a few more years, I believe he will be a good coach. ”
