Chapter 550: The Demons Dance
readx;
The players of the Cavaliers also immediately changed formations, Jamison retreated from the inside line for the first time, Gasol, who defended Jamison, looked at Jamison's position, and really didn't know whether to go out to defend or not to go out to defend, just when he hesitated, Zhang Kong passed the ball directly, Jamison received the ball on the outside line is a three-pointer, the basketball hit accurately, and the Cavaliers expanded the score to eight points.

Seeing that Jamison hit, Gasol did not hesitate and quickly caught up, and he will definitely follow in the next offensive round.
In the next offensive round, Jamison came out again to catch the ball, this time Gasol followed, and at this time, Milicic also began to retreat, retreating near the free throw line, where he seduced Andrew Bynum's defense!
Watching Milicic retreat, Bynum hesitated, glanced at Zhang Kong next to him, and saw that Zhang Kong was going to pass the ball to Milicic, he was also startled, and immediately followed, he knew that this Serbian big man had the ability to shoot.
However, Zhang Kong did pass the ball, but it was not Milicic who passed, but to Maddie, who was already in the bottom corner.
At this time, Maddie's opposite player is Artest, and the two of them were teammates the year before last, and together they created the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, but now Maddie has personally broken the Rockets' 22-game winning streak.
But now the two can be said to be their own masters on the court, because Artest defends Maddy and is afraid of his shooting, so he is very close to Maddy, whether it is last season or the beginning of this season, Maddy's offense is mostly based on shooting.
The main thing is that he still doesn't have much confidence in his body, he likes to shoot, but it's not that he can't break through.
Now is an opportunity, because Artest is a little close, Maddie directly broke through Artest's defense with a wrong step here, Artest didn't expect Maddie to say that he broke through, and immediately followed into the interior in a hurry, and at the same time he also hoped that the Lakers' interior players could come over to help block it, but it turned out that his idea was a little too taken for granted, at this time Jamison pulled Gasol to the three-point line, and Milicic pulled Bynum to the free throw line.
The inner line is a big Siberian wilderness, as far as the eye can see, but you can't see people! Maddie, there's nothing to hesitate about.
After rushing into the inner line, three steps jumped directly, although Artest chased very tightly behind, but Maddie, who had recovered his health, was not something Artest could chase, after Maddie finished three steps, he took off directly and flew towards the basket, what Artest could do was to watch Maddie fly high, and then complete the high-altitude bombing.
"Beautiful!" Zhang Kong looked at the ball and couldn't help but clap his hands, don't think that the players of the Cavaliers can't break through.
There, because they don't want to break through, plus your Lakers have always been offensive instead of defensive, believing that offense is the best defense, and now you let them compete with those defensive coolies of the Bulls, it's like killing them.
Seeing Maddie burst into the basket and dunked, Phil Jackson didn't say anything, just picked up the tactics board and began to draw on the battle board, it seems that he is also slowly studying this set of Lakers play that limits the Cavaliers.
"Well done!" After half time again, Fisher handed the ball to Kobe, and when Kobe was ready to attack, the guy standing in front of him changed from Carter to Zhang Kong, and Carter and Kobe Bryant faced off, and probably the best result was mutual violence.
Carter can't prevent Kobe, and it is estimated that Kobe can't prevent the current Carter, but the duel between Zhang Kong and Kobe Bryant is obviously better than the duel between Carter and Kobe, seeing Zhang Kong and Kobe Bryant single, everyone else consciously pulled away, and the fans in the audience also stood up and applauded the Lakers players, and Kenny Smith and Buckley, who had been commentating, also sat up.
Even if Buckley is Zhang Hei, but seeing the duel between Zhang Kong and Kobe, he is still very interested, which is also one of the top duels in the league now, Kobe came to Zhang Kong, looking at Zhang Kong who lowered his posture in front of him, Kobe slowly laughed, it was completely impossible to break through Zhang Kong's defense two seasons ago.
However, because of these two seasons, Zhang Kong has put his focus on attack, so his defense is not as sharp as before, but if you think that such Zhang Kong is easy to deal with, then you are very wrong, such Zhang Kong is more opportunistic, if he feels that this ball can hit your morale, then his defensive level will be opened to the highest state.
And the current situation, the Cavaliers lead the Lakers by 10 points, the Lakers did not score the opening ball in the third game, if the Lakers hit this goal, the score will be narrowed back to more than ten points, then the Lakers still have a chance to chase points, but if the ball does not score, but is counterattacked by the opponent, then the back and forth is 4 points, and the lead will reach as many as 12 points, which is unacceptable to the Lakers.
"Watch your footwork and the inside line!" Phil Jackson couldn't help but blow his whistle off the court when he saw Kobe Bryant going to play alone again.
And Kobe Bryant was still grinding time with Zhang Kong as if he hadn't heard Phil Jackson's words, and suddenly Kobe Bryant moved!
Some people say that Kobe Bryant's breakthrough step rate is the fastest, if Wade's first step is unstoppable, then Kobe's strongest step is his third step, he can force past any defender in the league through the conversion of step rate.
Unfortunately, today he came across last year's Defensive Player of the Year, and he could be the guy who won the Defensive Player of the Year this year.
Zhang Kong stepped forward for the first time and used his chest to resist Kobe Bryant, although Kobe wanted to use his elbow to force Zhang Kong away, but Zhang Kong's advance was very particular, so that Kobe's elbow couldn't be waved at all, so he could only fight with Zhang Kong.
Fighting for strength, Howard is not Zhang Kong's opponent, let alone Kobe! Being Zhang Kong was like a stone pushed down by a bulldozer, constantly flashing to the side, seeing that he was about to be pushed to the weak side, Kobe Bryant had no chance, if he piled up farther away, it would be out of bounds, Kobe Bryant could only jump up helplessly, and then threw the basketball high to the basket.
"Drift shots? I didn't expect to be killed so early! Seeing Kobe's movements, Zhang Kong couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
If it's really a drift shot, then there is no need to defend this ball, the basketball brushed into the basket very accurately, Kobe Bryant pulled a ball back for the Lakers, and the fans in the audience used their best strength to applaud Kobe.
"What a ball! Kobe Bryant ......" The DJ at the scene couldn't help but shout out loudly to cheer for Kobe.
And Kobe just smiled when he retreated, and gestured with his hand Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong knew that he was challenging himself, but Zhang Kong did not plan to fight, the Cavaliers came to the opponent's half again, Jamison and Milicic are still the same old routine, pulling the inside line away, although they are unwilling in their hearts, but they also have to pull the inside line out.
Each of these players on the Cavaliers has the ability to score from the outside, which is really helpless, so the Lakers can only follow the defense in order to snuff out the opponent's outside firepower, and this time, it is Maddie and Carter who are still making the difference.
Although Zhang Kong didn't pass the ball, these two guys were like two sharp knives piercing the Lakers' abdomen.
Directly inserted horizontally from the left and right sides, such a no-ball run, Artest and Kobe Bryant had no way to prevent it at all.
can only follow on the outside, and Maddie and Carter collided together when they were near the opponent's reasonable collision zone, and then Carter made a no-ball block to help Maddie block Artest, and Kobe Bryant was stunned when he saw Maddie rushing towards him, and Artest didn't know for a while whether to defend Maddie or Carter...... The outside line has been watching the situation on the court Zhang Kong's pass, a high lob ball thrown directly to the inside, and by the time Artest saw the line of the ball, it was too late, Carter jumped up in front of him, how Artest's bounce was Carter's opponent, in order not to pay for a foul, so he could only watch Carter smash the basketball into the basket.
"Oh my God, what kind of tactic is this, it's so chaotic......" Xu Jicheng of the imperial court couldn't help but rub his temples when he looked at the half-time tactics played by the Cavaliers, this tactic is really very chaotic for an older person like him.
"The main way to play this tactic is to empty the inside line, and then use the personnel in the second and third positions to attack the opponent's inside line, and at the same time cooperate in a small area...... It's easy to say, but if you look at it on the field, it's really messy! "TNT's Kenny Smith has seen it much more thoroughly than Xu Jicheng, but this kind of tactic is really messy in his eyes!
And when the Lakers defended Carter and Maddy, Jamison on this side also began to break through, facing Gasol, Jamison's physical fitness and speed are more than one level stronger than the other party, as for the most powerful tactical literacy of the Europeans, this Jamison does not need it, Milicic has tactical literacy, but his main purpose now is to attract firepower.
When Andrew Bynum returns to the interior defense, Zhang Kong will give him a chance to throw a few from the outside.
Whether it's three points or two points, anyway, he has a shooting percentage, it's enough, after Milicic scored five points in a row, Andrew Bynum had to follow him, what should the Cavaliers say about this style of play? Shameless! It's just that the people who forcibly bully you guys have slow legs, but what can the Lakers do? Phil Jackson never called a timeout, but he kept drawing on his tactical board, and it was clear that he was going to sacrifice this game!
