Chapter Seventy-Six: Coach, I Want to Play the No. 4 Position
Callesimo immediately called a timeout, and he replaced Trent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This guy has already played up, and being blocked by Tony has allowed Kobe Bryant to get two points, but if the momentum on this court shifts to the Lakers' side, this price is too much for him to afford.
He knows that the two sides will enter a fierce battle in the white-knuckle next, the Lakers have a quick knife, and he must also put the team's strongest lineup on the court.
The game continues.
Bryant clearly felt that the Trail Blazers seemed to have given up on defending themselves, and he would have been caught from time to time before, and if it weren't for the fact that his hand was so hot tonight, there really wasn't much he could do.
Unexpectedly, after just such a timeout, the Trail Blazers backed down, and they focused their defense all on Kobe Bryant's teammates.
If you want to vote, let you vote, I'll lock up your teammates, and I don't believe you can single out my whole team.
This is Callesimo's idea.
Looking at the court again, Ryder, who was defending Kobe, began to wander around, and once the rest of the Lakers received the ball, he directly gave up Kobe Bryant and went directly to the pinch.
Bryant was enraged.
Although Callesimo's idea is that Lao Tzu can't take you and let you play as much as you want, in Kobe's eyes, he thinks this is the Blazers' contempt for him.
Then, he erupted.
After Sabonis completed a hook, Bryant chased back a three-pointer, and then he ambushed Kenny Anderson on the weak side to help defend Kenny Anderson's layup, and then made a fast-break layup.
One person scored five points in a row, Callesimo was forced to call a timeout again, he regretted it again, and now that the Trail Blazers were thirteen points behind, he could feel the murderous aura emanating from Kobe's body, and his strategy of not guarding against him angered him.
Kobe Bryant's shots were not very reasonable, once he chased three points directly after half time, and another time, the Trail Blazers retreated quickly, and he still chose to go into Longtan alone. But on the contrary, he can score such a ball.
If you continue to play like this, the score will be stretched to 20 points, and basically this game will not be played.
Now there is one minute left in the second quarter, and it would be good if the Trail Blazers could close the difference to within 10 points in this minute, otherwise it would be a big psychological blow to the team to enter the second half with a difference of more than 10 points.
Callesimo finished his two offensive tactics and the timeout ended.
The Trail Blazers pressed the clock, and they tried hard to slow down the pace.
Clifford Robinson ran out of space after a teammate's off-ball block, and he almost pressed the clock for a three-pointer, and although Jones didn't have a height advantage, he defended very hard, and Robinson missed.
The basketball bounced twice on the basket and rolled out, and as Tony tried to grab the rebound, Rashid Wallace was quick to jump directly behind Tony's back and press his body to dunk the ball into the basket.
Tony suddenly felt a huge impact coming, and the other person was knocked off the court, almost falling directly.
Rasheed Wallace, who had completed the violent dunk, walked the overlord step and constantly tore his jersey, and he roared with impunity, and his voice broke through the sky.
It's so enjoyable!
Sabonis stepped forward and punched him in the chest, and Wallace's goal was arguably a huge boost to the team's morale.
Tony looked at the insolent Wallace, he didn't say anything, and served directly.
There was one last offense left in time, and Bryant executed the offense, which he missed.
The first half ended.
In the Lakers locker room, everyone looks relaxed, they are still leading by eleven points, as long as they maintain the state of the first half, the Lakers can win this game without surprise, Harris did not put too much pressure on the team, he just said some words of encouragement.
However, he noticed that Tony's expression was a little ugly, and Harris understood what was going on after a moment's thought, so he walked up to Tony.
"Big man, we're about to win our first playoff game, why are you so sullen?" Although Harris knew it in his heart, he didn't say it.
Tony seemed to be struggling inwardly for a long time, and he finally stood up and said to Harris: "Coach Del, in the second half of the game, I want to play the No. 4 position. ”
When Harris heard this, he immediately confirmed the guess in his heart.
"Hey! Tony, you have to remember that our goal is to win, not to vent our anger! If you go up to number 4, we're going to be a lot slower, so our advantage is not so obvious. Harris said as he stared into Tony's eyes, and then he paused,
"Can I trust you?"
Tony originally heard Harris's words and a trace of disappointment came to his heart, but after hearing the last sentence, his eyes immediately burst into a look.
"Leave it to me!"
......
At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers' coach Harris made a change of lineup, he put Marles at the No. 4 position, and the center was replaced by Campbell. Could it be that Del's brain is twitching? Giving up their speed advantage and the Trailblazers to fight the inside? Did he think the team was too far ahead? The Lakers' home commentary raised some doubts about Harris's change of lineup.
Like everyone on the Lakers' home court, Harris didn't know what to expect, but he decided to trust him for once.
Wallace didn't feel like Tony took the initiative to find him, he didn't care who he was playing against, as an undrafted rookie, all he had to do was buy playing time and play hard.
Although he was recently promoted to the starting line-up, he didn't have much of an attacking opportunity, and Coach Callesimo was entirely interested in his defensive ability and mobility to compensate for Sabonis' slowness.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers singled Campbell with Sabonis' back, Sabonis's tonnage was enough for him to suppress Campbell steadily, and the Lithuanian center's interior skills were also very delicate, Jones saw Campbell's difficulties, he gave up Robinson on the outside, and stepped forward to wrap up, he was not afraid that Sabonis would pass the ball out of the outside, because Robinson's three-point shooting rate today was pitifully low, he shot 4 times, and he didn't hit once.
Sabonis saw that Jones was caught in the flank, and he quickly passed the ball out.
Robinson hit the half-court iron, but this time he was lucky, his three-pointer was a little off, but he stumbled into the basket.
Jones glanced at his lips, not too concerned.
He could see that Robinson's three-point shot was completely a balloon.
The ball came to the Lakers.
Toney quickly took his seat on the inside, and he opened his hand to ask Fisher for the ball.
