Chapter XIV Unlimited Right to Fire
After the start of the second quarter of the game, both teams coincidentally chose substitute players to play, and Lei Lei, who was killed in the first quarter, sat on the bench to rest.
At present, the core players on the Lakers court are Russell, Loewe, and Nick Young.
Byron Scott hopes that Nick Young can play his 'nerve knife' and close the gap for the team.
But the reality is often very cruel, on the other hand, the Kings' bench lineup inherited the advantage of the game, and Collison became the most active player during this period.
Collison and Cosby formed the Kings' backcourt duo, and these two backcourt players constantly attacked the Lakers' interior and caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.
The Lakers' offense relies more on Nick Young to impact the opponent's basket, and Nick Young is very good at singles, but once it is covered by Kings players, it greatly reduces the offensive efficiency.
Nick Young played too lone wolf and was reluctant to pass the ball to an open teammate even if he was caught in a hurry.
When Nick Young failed to score on two consecutive attacks, Lowe no longer passed the ball to Nick Young, but chose to go it alone.
Lu Wei began to constantly attack the King's inside, but unfortunately the shooting rate was not high, so he had to change his way and let his teammates attack.
Russell, on the other hand, had a chance to perform, constantly running, catching and shooting, or holding the ball himself to call a pick-and-roll attack.
After the gap had begun to narrow, the Kings sent Cousins, who had had enough rest, and the balance on the court began to break.
After Cousins came on the court, the Kings' offensive focus began to lean toward the interior.
After Cosby and Cousins made a pick-and-roll, they shook off Lakers defender Nick Young and attacked the restricted area, and the Lakers wanted to make up for it, but Cosby passed the ball to Cousins.
Cousins receives the ball and scores it against a defender.
The Lakers' interior has no one on the ground to guard Cousins at the moment.
Lei Lei has seen the Lakers' personal ability value, and also sighed, the most powerful thing in the Lakers is Kobe, and then he and Lu Wei, the others are too rubbish, it's really a weak team starter, a strong team substitute.
The game is simply a slaughter on the one hand, Scott also wants to adjust the lineup, but there is a shortage of manpower, Kobe Bryant's physical strength is not as good as before, if he plays 30 minutes, Kobe Bryant will be tired, he looked at Lei Lei, looked at the court and said: "Lei, come here, get ready to play." ”
After hearing Scott's shout, Lei Lei came to his side.
Scott instructed Lei Lei: "Wait a minute, you need to take on the responsibility of attacking, I will give you unlimited firing rights, I hope you can narrow the score." ”
Lei Lei knew that his opportunity had come, so he looked at this time, nodded and said, "Coach rest assured, I promise to complete the task." ”
As soon as Scott finished speaking, Nick Young fouled Scott's hand, Lei Lei came on, and Nick Young went down.
Nick Young and Lei Lei wiped their sweat with their jerseys after high-fives.
Lei Lei told the players on the field about the coach's arrangement, and Russell only had envy in his eyes, as a role model, he couldn't help the team in this situation.
The score on the field is:
58:42
The margin came to 16 points, and the Kings scored nearly 20 points in just over five minutes.
Lei Lei defends Cosby, Cosby still wants to play Nick Young before, but unfortunately Lei Lei's defense is much better than Nick Young, and he also has a hand in defense and dismantling, and he directly squeezed past Cousins without changing his defense.
Cosby had no choice but to hand the ball to Cousins, who was in the low post, but Lei Lei didn't give him this opportunity, and directly intercepted Cosby's pass and quickly launched a fast attack.
Lu Wei saw Lei Lei steal and quickly ran to the front court, Lei Lei advanced with the ball, McLemore wanted to stop Lei Lei, but the front court played 2 to 1, Lei Lei passed the ball to Lu Wei in the bottom corner.
Lowe catches the ball and dribbles a step and makes a jumper
'Brush-'
Two-point goal
58:44
Lei Lei then started the infinite wing singles, as long as someone is wrapping the ball out, Lei Lei's vision is above average among small forwards, not afraid of packing.
After the Kings saw that the outside main team was blocked, they could only give the ball to Cousins to play in the low post.
As long as Cousins plays a low-post single, Lei Lei will wrap and interfere with Cousins from time to time.
Cousins complained to the referee a few times, but the referee couldn't see it.
Lei Lei spread his hands in front of Cousins.
Cousins was stopped by his teammates when he wanted to lose his temper, and Cousins had to vent his anger on the Lakers' interior players, infinitely creating kills and fouls.
Lei Lei shook his head when he saw it, he couldn't prevent it inside.
In the next second quarter, both sides have personnel adjustments, but the core of the Lakers' offense is Lei Lei, even if Kobe Bryant plays the ball for Lei Lei, Lei Lei is crazy in this game, and no one in the Kings can stop Lei Lei.
He is not as fast as Lei Lei, the Kings have not moved faster than Lei Lei, Rudy Gay is excellent in athleticism, but he can't prevent Lei Lei.
The Lakers couldn't stop Cousins on the inside, and Randle made four fouls in both quarters.
At half-time
The score came
74:60
The difference was only narrowed by 2 points, Lei Lei scored a goal and Cousins returned a goal, and when Rondo came on the court, he also began to respond.
Lei Lei passed to Kobe Bryant when he was trapped, Kobe Bryant always hit iron, and Clarkson could sometimes score a few shots.
Lei Lei scored 30 points at halftime, and in the second game, he refreshed his scoring record at halftime.
He made eight shots in the second quarter, hit six three-pointers, made two free throws, and scored 15 points in the second quarter.
When Lei Lei returned to the locker room, he was sweating profusely, grabbing both offensive and defensive ends together, he was too tired, and he also experienced the feeling of Kobe Bryant fighting alone before.
Kobe Bryant said to Lei Lei: "I know you want to lead the team to victory, but now it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you must protect your body." ”
Lei Lei nodded and said, "But I just want to win, I don't want to eat two consecutive defeats." ”
Kobe Bryant saw Lei Lei's determined eyes and said, "You have a good rest first, and leave it to me in the third quarter." ”
Lei Lei had no choice but to nod after seeing Kobe's serious expression.
Scott next arranged the players who started in the second half, hesitated when he saw Lei Lei, but decided to let Lei Lei rest first, Lei Lei has played 12 minutes in the first half, and is very loaded, efficient and high.
Lei Lei doesn't have much physical strength now, and if he continues, his efficiency will definitely be reduced, and the king will definitely adjust.
After Scott adjusted the starting lineup in the second half, he began to arrange tactics, Kobe Bryant said that the offensive power was handed over to him, Scott did not dare to refute, who made Kobe Bryant the current boss of the Lakers, and the coach couldn't cure Kobe Bryant when he came, and he dared to say a word and roll up tomorrow.
Scott feels that he can put Lei Lei in the starting lineup for the next game, and he will study it when he returns to Los Angeles.
