143. Kobe Bryant vs James Inside Advantage

"Kobe, it's going to be us who wins today, wash your neck and wait!" Wade interjected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Kobe Bryant pouted: "I'll see." ā€

Soon the game began.

The Lakers have changed a lot compared to before, starting Nash, Kobe, Wesley Johnson, Gasol, Thackeray.

Nick Young and McCollum are back on the bench, a roster structure that was planned at the start of the season, and as soon as Liu Ren and Green return, the roster will be alive.

There are no changes to the starting lineup on the Heat side, Chalmers, Wade, James, Battier, Bosh.

Bosh jumped to beat Thackeray to give the Heat the first offense.

The Heat pulled away, and James held the ball again.

Not to mention, the Lakers really can't find anyone who can deal with Bosh well in the current lineup, and after Bosh pulls it out, he runs back to the basket and receives James' pass and layup.

Thackeray couldn't keep up with Bosh and could only watch as the opponent made a layup.

The Heat took the lead, leading 2-0.

The Lakers attacked, and Thackeray sat in the low post, using his height and weight advantage to press Bosh, who was one lap younger than him, into a reasonable collision zone.

Nash passes the ball to Thackeray, who presses Bosh to turn and hit a small hook.

Thackeray is becoming more and more confident and stable in one-on-one singles.

Bosh's thin small body can be bullied by any big center, and Thackeray, like Hibbert, turns on the mode of eating and sleeping and playing Bosh.

Bosh then took advantage of Thackeray's slow pace and couldn't defend himself and hit a shot from the right side of the free throw line.

Thackeray immediately returned another inside foul and stepped up to the free throw line.

The scene is weird to Thackeray and Bosh against Biao!

Thackeray Penalty Kick!

"Look, this is your Big Three? Oh my God, LeBron, it's hard for you to win two championships with a center like that. ā€

Kobe Bryant said to James, who was standing to his left.

Before James could speak, Bosh's complaining voice came: "Kobe, don't you know how to say bad things behind people's backs, I'm next to you." ā€

Thackeray made free throws, and on one side of the three-second zone ready to grab a rebound was Batile and Gasol, and on the other side were James, Kobe, and Bosh, and Kobe Bryant stood between James and Bosh.

Kobe Bryant was a little embarrassed, he forgot that Bosh was next to him, and only thought about trash talk to James.

"Aren't you just as unstoppable as Chris?" Although James is a little dissatisfied with Bosh's repeated beatings, he is also a teammate and his friend.

"Don't worry, you can prevent it next." Bryant laughed.

So confident? James was a little puzzled, don't look at Bosh always being beaten, but Bosh is really good on offense, and there are not as many big men as those who have the ability to score on the outside steadily.

Thackeray hit one of two free throws, and Battier protected the rebound.

James advanced to the front court and originally wanted to pass the ball to Bosh, after all, Bosh played well on the offensive end and had to take advantage of the position.

But James found that the man who defended Bosh had changed! Replaced with Wesley Johnson! Just followed Bosh's side, and the big guy on the opposite side with some brute strength squatted on the inside line and didn't come out!

Wesley Johnson's defensive Wade was just like that outside the three-point line!

Wade's three-point shooting rate of more than 20 percent this year has become a black hole for the Heat's outside shooters!

Compared with Bosh, a big guard who has a stable outside shooting ability, Wade is like a "big forward", with extremely unstable mid-range and long-range shooting, and his outside shooting is a big shot.

Bryant just let Wesley Johnson and Thackeray switch defenses when he returned to defense, and Thackeray just guarded inside.

I have to say that Kobe Bryant has made a great adjustment this time, and James really didn't dare to pass to Wade to shoot three points, and Wade's three-point ability is not as good as him.

In that case, James is ready to play alone, and it is Kobe Bryant who defends him.

Bryant stepped back inside the three-point line, giving James plenty of room to shoot.

James tried to shoot a three-pointer, but he didn't score because he didn't feel good!

Gasol protected the rebound, and the Heat retreated quickly and did not give the Lakers a chance to counterattack.

The Lakers fell to the ground and attacked.

Kobe Bryant also wanted to pass the ball to Thackeray, but found that the Heat also changed defenses, and James went to defend Thackeray!

James really couldn't stand Bosh being crushed on the inside by a bench-level center, so he simply went on his own, and the defense of Kobe became Wade.

Not to mention, although James is ten centimeters shorter than Thackeray, his weight is not much worse than Thackeray, and Thackeray really can't squeeze in.

Bosh has good agility and can barely keep up with Wesley Johnson.

That being the case, Bryant decided to single Wade.

Kobe Bryant has a lot of experience in playing Wade, and he has an obvious advantage in height.

Wade was afraid of Kobe's shot, clinging to Kobe, Kobe accelerated to the right and stopped again, then inserted Wade to the left and entered the three-point line, shooting at the free throw line.

It's exactly the same as Kobe Bryant's play against Wade in the '09-10 season.

Although Kobe Bryant is much older now, Wade is aging faster.

Wade is averaging only 18 points per game this season, a career low, and his potential has been squeezed dry by Pat Riley, and like the Heat's previous stars, he has begun to enter a period of rapid decline.

The Heat have always been a well-known star squeezing institution, O'Neal came to the Heat and was injured by Riley's devilish training method, and finally O'Neal fell rapidly in the 06-07 season, the defending championship season, because he was squeezed dry in the first two years.

Wade and James are now also entering that stage, Wade has always been the target of the Heat's squeezing, and the injury has not stopped, and after the age of 30, it began to decline significantly.

The advantage is that James is still young and has strong potential, so it is only reflected in the problem of physical fitness, otherwise he would have been injured a long time ago.

Just look at Pat Riley sending away one slightly more expensive bench after another in order to save money, and the Heat just want to squeeze the value out of the Big Three.

5-4, the Lakers overtook by 1 point.

Offense and defense switch to the Heat's offense.

James missed the last shot, and this time he chose to break through.

Kobe Bryant didn't go to fight with James, and fought and retreated, and retreated to the three-second zone in front of James.

Kobe Bryant must not be able to prevent James from breaking through now, he guided James to the inside line and formed a flank attack with Thackeray!

This defensive strategy was the inspiration that Bryant took from the Pacers, who did just that against the Heat, using Paul George to put James inside and then work with Hibbert against James.

Thackeray's defensive skills learned from Whiteside were on display at this point, raising his hands high and not jumping, just blocking in front of James like that, and once James hit him, he would fall, and if James forced a shot, he would jump up and not block, just blocking James' view like that.
