Chapter 134: Fifth Battle II
readx; Game 5 soon began with the referee's whistle, and the Lakers once again got the ball for the first offense without any suspense. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info ball is quickly transferred to the front court. Attempt to complete a fast attack in which the opponent does not react in time. But the knight seemed to have understood that this was the end. The Cavaliers' players quickly completed their own defenses.
"You're really fast, but even that doesn't do anything good." Kobe Bryant looked at Battier on the opposite side and said coldly, the hand holding the ball immediately lowered downward, and then passed the ball from behind his back, which was a pass that did not look at people, and it was also a tactic that they had already customized. The opening tactics, although Kobe Bryant was not sure whether his teammates could complete the first attack of the game, but what the coach said, he still had to execute.
"What, Kobe Bryant chose to pass? After four games, the Lakers' first shot was in the hands of Kobe, but the current situation is obviously not like this. It seems that Phil Jackson has not only changed the starting lineup today, but also changed his tactics to a certain extent," Barkley, the commentator at the scene, said immediately, he was very shocked by such a situation, you must know that he has watched Kobe Bryant's games countless times. Almost every game, the first offense was in Kobe's hands.
"Hurry up, go defend Lamar" Huang Jun saw Kobe Bryant's pass, and immediately said, as soon as he saw Kobe's pass, he immediately thought of today's changes. There was a change in their starting lineup today, and at first he didn't know why, but he thought now he should know what the other side was trying to do. So he shouted as soon as he knew, but although he found it very quickly, the pass came faster and soon reached Lamar Odom's hands.
Kwame Brown, who was closest to him, had already gone up to make up for it, but it was too late, and Kwame's pace was too slow. It couldn't keep up with Odom at all. Although both are big forwards, Odom's versatility is not available to anyone. And in terms of footsteps, it's not something that ordinary big forwards can catch up with. Even if you catch up, you don't know what his next move will be, and unless you see him shoot while you're rushing, you really don't know if he's going to shoot or pass.
"Hehe, you're too late, this tactic has not been trained less during the two days of rest. It's for you guys, so I'm going to hit whatever the ball says," Odom looked at the Cavaliers players who were coming over to make up for it, and then under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans on the scene, Odom slowly jumped up, and at the same time threw the basketball in his hand, which was a three-point shot without hesitation. Even the fans who don't know what all this is all about know why at this moment, and this is all Phil's tactic.
"Brushing" Odom's three points directly into the net, which made Kwame Brown, who was arriving, very speechless. I have rushed over desperately, but in the end it has not changed the result. Although he was disappointed, he also knew that this would not be the time to be disappointed, so he directly switched defense to offense and rushed towards the Lakers' half. As for the baseline tee-off, it was handed over to Asik. At the beginning of the game, the Lakers took the lead and got off to a good start.
"This Odom's three-point point is still very good, I really didn't expect Phil Jackson's offensive point to be transferred from Kobe Bryant's point to Odom's point. It seems that he is trying to divert our attention from Kobe Bryant's body to Odom's side. Because only then can their Lakers continue with the following plan. Huang Jun instantly understood the other party's conspiracy, although he understood, but he knew that it was not enough to understand. Be sure to break the opponent's tactics in the next time. Only then will they have a better chance of winning this game.
Dribbling to the half, Huang Jun did not hesitate, borrowed the blocking of his teammates, and went directly to the inside. And Huang Jun's goal is also obvious, that is, to find Odom. The players and fans on and off the pitch are well aware of this, and his target is Odom. Although they don't know what all this is for, they know very well that his goal is that he is there, and in their hearts, they think that Huang Jun is likely to go to Odom for a foul, because only in this way can this tactic be broken.
"This Chinese is really good at reading the game, completely watching the whole situation of the game, and knows what our goal is today." He wanted to use his breakthrough and his skills to make Odom foul. Only then can we no longer use this tactic. But so what? Do you think this foul is so easy to make? Is the referee still your family? Phil Jackson was off the court, looking at this change on the court, and he knew very well what the other party was trying to do.
Huang Jun, who was forced to make a layup, was slapped directly by Odom with the ball in his hand, without any turning action, a very clean big hat. The Cavaliers' players watched in shock, but the Lakers' players didn't, they got the ball in the first place and threw it straight to their frontcourt. The knights who watched this move reacted instantly, although their reaction speed was very fast, but the speed of passing the ball was even faster.
At this time, a player with the number 24 on his back had already rushed to the frontcourt, and that speed was not what the Cavaliers players could catch up with now. It didn't take long to complete a powerful dunk without any defensive pressure. The scene was completely plunged into a sea of cheers. Kobe Bryant walked towards the Cavaliers' players step by step in the face of this ocean, and when he arrived in front of Huang Jun, he said lightly, "We have expected all this for a long time, you are very smart, but Lamar's strength is not as rubbish as you imagined, can you become a key member of our team, how can it be rubbish?" ”
'Because he gets distracted at times, the team didn't give him a starting role. But this game is different and it will most likely be our last game of the season. So the team is absolutely fighting hard, and if you want to defend against our best sixth man, it's very difficult. But even if you manage to defend Lamar, you won't be able to keep the rest of our players at bay. After saying this, Kobe Bryant didn't wait for Huang Jun's defense, and went back to defense directly. He can't afford to lose anything, he needs this championship.
What Kobe Bryant said, how could Huang Jun not understand? He understood after Odom hit that three-pointer that Odom's attention was on the court from the very beginning of the game. And it's the kind of concentration that is completely on the pitch, so Lamar Odom will be even more difficult to defend. The Cavaliers' defense was already very difficult, and now with this Lamar, this game will be even more difficult. Now he just hopes that Odom will lose his mind at some point in the next round to prove that he is not 100 percent focused on this matchup. Of course, this is just his hope and fantasy, this game is very important to them, and it is absolutely impossible to go out of their minds.
Huang Jun didn't mean to say anything, took the ball, and directly handed the basketball in his hand to James at halftime. Then he ran quickly and led the defense to give his teammates a better chance to attack. Now he is not only running empty-handed, but also thinking about countermeasures against this tactic in his mind. Although this tactic is not so powerful, the current tactic has caused them a lot of damage in a short period of time. Once the score is pulled away, it will be very difficult for them to recover because there are other players on the other side who are not playing, such as Pau Gasol on the bench.
James, who received the ball, directly forced Ariza's defense, and when he faced the bag defense on the inside, James threw the basketball in his hand without any hesitation. Odom, who got the rebound, directly passed the basketball in his hand to Zeng Yu, who was playing a fast break. Next to Zeng Yu is Huang Jun. Huang Jun didn't steal the ball as everyone thought, but focused his attention on the defensive end. Apparently he gave up on this dangerous tackle in favor of the most conservative defensive approach.
Zeng Yu, who received this ball, directly accelerated towards the inside line, and in the face of Huang Jun's defense, he jumped high on the spot without any hesitation. Then he threw the basketball in his hand, brushed, hit again, and hit a two-point shot. Zeng Yu, who saw the ball drilling into the Nets, looked at Huang Jun next to him, "Do you think I will choose to go to the basket?" Actually, my jump shot is still very good. Hehe. ”
"It's really annoying, this game is completely caught in the rhythm of the other party." Huang Jun didn't listen to Zeng Yu's words, but instead thought of countermeasures in his heart. In just one minute, the opponent completed three attacks and scored seven points. On his side, it was a zero point, and the opening game was 7-0, which was obviously a little difficult for the Cavaliers to accept.
Mike Brown on the field also looked at the situation on the field a little helplessly, if it weren't for the fact that this game had just begun, he really wanted to call a timeout to arrange tactics. But he knew that he couldn't now, the time was too fast to call a timeout. If you call a timeout, it hurts the confidence of your players very much. He must not take such a risk, and now the situation can only be left in the hands of his own players.
