Chapter 220: Scott who miscalculated
The Hornets were stopped by the Lakers again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although Lu Xiaofeng only scored three points in this wave of climax, every point was related to him.
The Lakers' lead reached 15 points.
What would Scott do?
Tang Shuai decisively replaced all the main forces.
Sure enough, the Hornets also played with their main force.
Davis was also an All-Star, and when he came back from a timeout, he broke the scoring drought for the Hornets.
He played back to the point guard position and took the ball directly in the backcourt, but Lu Xiaofeng could only give him a stronger confrontation.
But PJ Brown came up to block, and Davis got rid of Lu Xiaofeng.
Against Odom's defense, Davis scored two points with a pull-up jumper.
Kobe Bryant, who rested for a few minutes, had just the right amount of physical strength, and was directly on the edge of the three-second zone, and receiving the ball was a turning layup.
Lynch, who was afraid of shaking, didn't dare to jump at all, so he could only raise his hands high, expecting him to strike iron.
However, with Lu Xiaofeng's Lakers, Kobe Bryant no longer has to think about organizing offense.
Every time he gets the ball, all he thinks about is attacking and scoring, how to be comfortable.
Not only is the attack more decisive than before, but the chances of shooting are much better.
What's more, there is less ball control, no needless dribbling to get rid of, and the physical strength is much better.
Attack, attack, attack, his firepower is too fierce for the defenders to parry.
Lynch was fouled twice by him in the first quarter, and now he is more and more shrunken to defend him.
Davis may have been tired and didn't choose to attack on his own.
He commanded Magloyle in the position and told him to beat Mime.
This hit the weakness of the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant hurriedly returned to defend the pinch.
Magloyle had no choice but to pass to Lynch in the bottom corner.
It's a pity that Lynch, who consumes too much on the defensive end, doesn't feel at all and hits three-point iron.
However, Magloyer bullied Meme again, forcibly took off the frontcourt rebound on his head, and scored a rebound.
The Hornets began to use their interior advantage, but they began to play against the Lakers.
Lynch, who had some scruples, obviously couldn't stop Kobe's constant attacks, and allowed Kobe to find an opportunity.
And Lu Xiaofeng, who was still actively attacking just now, quieted down and honestly fed Kobe Bryant.
Scott had a headache off the court.
Why is this rookie so sophisticated?
Can't he just play a little more excitedly and force himself?
He laid out the tactics for the team members, how to attack Lu Xiaofeng on the inside, but Lu Xiaofeng suddenly stopped attacking.
This is not scientific!
Science is not Lu Xiaofeng, his mentality is not that of an 18-year-old hairy boy.
This is not the home court of the Lakers, and there are no fans shouting "MVP" to him, where is there so much excitement and excitement?
Of course, how reasonable and how to come.
Now Kobe's desire to attack is so strong, and the other party has no way to take him, of course, he has to attack Kobe!
As soon as Kobe Bryant opens up, the Hornets' defense will be chaotic, and once the focus is on, other teammates will definitely have a chance.
There is only one basketball, and instead of letting teammates hit two hammers per person, it is better to concentrate on Kobe Bryant, who is the most sure.
This is the point of breaking the surface.
Sure enough, after being scored three times in a row by Kobe, the Hornets' defense changed.
It's not that Scott laid out any tactics to trap Kobe.
He wasn't prepared to pack Kobe Bryant tonight.
According to his original tactical plan, it was to let Davis defend Kobe Bryant alone and limit his play as much as possible.
In his mind, as long as Kobe Bryant can't open and can't drive his teammates, the rest of the Lakers don't have to worry.
But who would have thought that the Lakers' rookie point guard would give him a stick as soon as he came, forcing him to change the lineup.
As soon as Davis was replaced, the rookie didn't take the initiative to attack, but "pressed the gourd and scooped", Kobe Bryant came again.
He wished that there would be another Artest on his team to be able to suppress Kobe.
But he didn't.
He can only count on Kobe Bryant's bad hand.
Bryant's play clearly shattered his illusions.
However, at least the Hornets seem to have found their groove on the offensive end and have been winning on the inside in a row.
He wasn't ready to change his defense, just waiting for Kobe Bryant's physical strength to drop.
However, the players are not robots, they are all emotional.
Seeing Kobe Bryant's successive successes, Lynch, who not only defended him, began to despair, but others couldn't help but turn their attention over.
It's the Lakers offense again, and Kobe Bryant, who is on the rise, is in the position again.
Lu Xiaofeng dribbled the ball and moved over, and was about to pass the ball inside.
Magloyle and PJ Brown couldn't help but look at it, just waiting for Kobe Bryant to break in and make up for the defense.
Suddenly, Lu Xiaofeng, who had just arrived outside the three-point line on the right side, raised his hand, and the basketball flew out.
Such a high pass, of course, is not for Kobe Bryant, who is on the edge of the three-second zone.
Wesley was inattentive, and Butler played another sneak attack.
He burst into the three-second zone from the bottom corner of the weak side and jumped straight up.
Lu Xiaofeng's pass fell from the sky, right on the edge of the basket.
Most of Magloyer's attention was on Kobe Bryant and half on Mime, who was outside the three-second zone.
The basketball flew over his head with a "whoosh", and the idea of "sneak attack" only rose from his mind, and with a "bang", Butler was already hanging on the basket.
Scott clapped his hands and shouted on the sidelines.
Perhaps the failure on the defensive end affected the mentality, and Magloyer's shot hit the ground running, and Mime finally protected the rebound.
But in a vicious circle, the Hornets' defensive focus became more and more distracted.
Kobe Bryant didn't play hard, but covered the position, and after receiving the ball, he took off and shot.
Lu Xiaofeng found that Odom under the basket was actually empty.
Kobe, who jumped up, obviously noticed it, and as soon as his action changed, the basketball flew to the basket.
Odom's catch was a simple layup.
Seeing that the point difference was up to 20 points, the mentality of the Hornets players was clearly wrong.
Davis tried to turn the tide, but was entangled by Lu Xiaofeng.
First, he forced a breakthrough layup, was entangled by Lu Xiaofeng, failed to jump sufficiently, and was pressed down by Odom.
Here, Kobe Bryant and Butler's fast break ended with an empty dunk.
Davis hit hard again, using cover to face Odom for a three-pointer.
As the star of the Hornets, he was right.
At critical moments, he also needs to step up and score.
At this time, the state of the teammates is obviously not right, and the passing of the ball can no longer solve the problem.
Basketball is back to its most primitive state, and it's still about scoring.
If you can't score points, it's useless to have any tactical coordination.
Once Davis can score back-to-back points and temporarily solve the Hornets' offensive problems, the helplessness of his teammates can be eased, and there may be hope.
However, the high-intensity confrontation that Lu Xiaofeng gave him obviously reduced his physical strength a lot.
His shot wasn't that consistent in the first place, and this Odom's shot that was sealed in the face hit the iron again.
Lu Xiaofeng rushed in, jumped high, grabbed in front of PJ Brown, and protected the rebound.
Davis was probably also desperate, and did not return to the defense at the first time, but turned his head to argue with the referee, believing that Odom's action was a foul.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't stop and wait for him, and as soon as he pushed forward, the basketball flew towards Odom in the front court.
Odom was unguarded and came up with a simple one-handed dunk.
Scott was helpless and was forced to take another timeout.
But the big picture of the game is decided.
The Hornets, who are more than 20 points behind, are not the kind of team that plays against the wind, and at halftime, the difference has reached 30 points.
After halftime, the Hornets' morale picked up.
But the Lakers' side is full of momentum, and it is another stormy attack.
Halfway through the third quarter, Tang Shuai slowly replaced the main forces.
Lu Xiaofeng took the substitute and tossed with the opponent until the end of the third quarter.
It was too far behind, and the audience at the scene booed.
Davis, who was unwilling, started his personal attack again, but he found a feeling, and Lu Xiaofeng couldn't do anything about him for a while.
But on the offensive end, the Hornets' defense also can't take the Lakers.
Lu Xiaofeng stayed on the field, in addition to consuming time, it was to brush data.
At the end of the third quarter, the score reached 85:56, and Lu Xiaofeng also scored 25 points, 12 assists, and 8 rebounds.
However, in garbage time in the fourth quarter, the Lakers were not ready to play the main team.
The Hornets, who are playing at home, don't want to lose too ugly, and Scott still keeps the main players on the court.
The difference slowly narrowed, and the final score was fixed at 110:95.
It was another easy victory, and the Lakers players didn't use much energy.
This is also the result that Tang Shuai wants to see the most, because tomorrow night, they will go to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies aren't a winless Hornets, they're a playoff team.
What will greet the Lakers is definitely a tough battle.
And immediately after the game, the Lakers boarded a special plane to Memphis.
