Chapter 100: The Christmas War (2)

The Lakers' opening trail was as expected by all.

The Heat's layered offensive lineup has become the biggest headache for coaches of other teams this season.

The previous game between the Heat and the Pistons has proven that even the league's highest level of regional defense can't perfectly limit the Heat.

However, the veteran Tang Shuai still found the only small weakness on the Heat's side.

Physical.

Dafan hid Mo Wen and O'Neal's fitness issues with a reasonable rotation.

Mo Wen and Ao Fat are also very mature players, even if they are not physically fit, they rarely show obvious fatigue, and they will even grit their teeth and burst into the game.

But Tang Shuai, who has watched the Heat for a long time, can still observe the physical problems of the two from some small details.

Therefore, in the middle of the first quarter, when he saw that the Heat was still steadily pressing the Lakers to play, Tang Shuai, who had thought about it repeatedly, made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"Pick up the speed, ditch the tedious tactics, use your talents, try to find the physicality of their core players, you know what I mean?"

"Especially you, Kobe, if you still want to win, you have to show all your strength, you have unlimited fire rights in this game, but I have one requirement: you have to play your toughness and attitude!"

To sum up, they gave up the conventional tactics, played the chaotic battle of counterattacking and quick counterattack, and went to the Heat Trident to fight more, draining their physical strength or playing fouls.

Giving up conventional tactics, do you think Tang Shuai is cutting off an arm and breaking a jar?

No, Tang Shuai is betting his hope on the new world... Section IV.

The coach also has to pay attention to the basic law, he took over the Lakers for only more than 20 games, the Lakers are changing players and changing the core, and the offensive tactics that have been running in for more than 20 games are not as smooth as he imagined.

And Kobe Bryant couldn't recover from the Zen master's triangle attack, and he still subconsciously liked to play alone with the ball.

Abandoning tactical scramble sounds like a no-brainer, but it really fits the Lakers' needs.

And, in order to maintain the suspense of the Christmas game, Stern brought in the No. 17 bald whistle to be the referee of the game.

At this time, the league had not strengthened the authority of referees, and Crawford did not blow the two whistles that made him "famous" to Deng Dudu, but he is now a well-known referee in the league.

What he does best is interrupting the game with constant blows.

With the Lakers gradually falling behind, the bald head also began to exert its strength.

After noticing that the home whistle was getting louder today, Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Lakers players didn't waste their chances.

In the last minute of the first quarter, Bryant held the ball on the edge of the high post to make a three-threat posture, pretending to observe his teammates' running, distracting Wade, and after tapping his foot left and right twice with his lower body, he started in gear, twisting his body diagonally towards Wade's right side.

Wade came back to his senses to give the confrontation, but Kobe, who was about to enter the paint area, suddenly braked, turned his back to Wade and quickly twisted to the side, holding the ball in both hands and making a shooting motion.

After seeing Wade being picked up, Kobe Bryant also leaned in decisively, and Wade, who had been trained by Mo Wen, subconsciously moved his hand back to avoid someone's touching of porcelain, but the ball was scored, and Crawford also whistled, signaling that he would add a penalty.

"Hell, I didn't touch his arm, you shouldn't have punished him like that." Wade complained loudly, but the bald head insisted on his decision.

After Wade said a few more words, Mo Wen, who was frowning, pulled away Wade who wanted to continue arguing.

He knew that Crawford was not fighting alone at this moment, and if it was placed in the anime, there should be a president phantom watching the game behind this bald head.

In the Heat's round, after Mo Wen dribbled the ball across half court, Wade began to ask him for the ball.

Mo Wen thought for a second, but he still fulfilled this vigorous young man.

But both he and Wade overestimated Kobe's discipline, or rather underestimated Kobe's desire to win.

After a big change of direction, Wade seemed to shake off Kobe Bryant, and when he could reproduce the opening dunk, he didn't think that Kobe, who has not had a life for men and women recently, just twisted his flexible waist and turned over to block it.

Wade originally wanted to get rid of Kobe Bryant and continue to break through to the bottom line.

But he didn't want his arm to shake just a little force, and Kobe, who was tough and tough just now, collapsed directly on his chest.

For a moment, Wade thought he had gained some incredible superpower.

The bald head blew the whistle as promised, and Wade felt like he was going to crack in place, and hurriedly hugged his head.

Tang Shuai smiled with relief when he saw this.

Beautiful, Kobe really knows how to be tough.

Isn't it tough enough to take such a heavy arm and just fall?

As expected, the bald head blew the whistle and signaled Wade to foul with the ball, and the linesman gave the same penalty.

Seeing the referee's decision, Wade and the other Heat players had not yet reacted, and Dafan's blood pressure was full first.

"Will you blow it? Kobe Bryant hasn't established a defensive position yet, and he obviously fell to the ground on purpose! ”

The bald head hesitated for half a second, and quickly regained his firmness "I and Condi (the linesman) have seen that Dwyanne moved too much, it was indeed he who pushed Bryant, there is no problem with our penalty, please stay sensible, Coach Van Gundy!" ”

"Shit, it's the players' game, what are you blowing about, are you going to ruin this game? You ***! Da Fan was still dancing emotionally, and Mo Wen and the assistant coach grabbed him and gagged him.

In all fairness, they are also very angry, but they also know very well that if Dafan continues to spray like this, Da Neng will eat T.

Mo Wen didn't see too many black whistles in the dungeon, generally speaking, the normal way is to make up for it, and even if one doesn't get it right, he will be hated by the referee like Rashid.

Why did Rashid have so many technical fouls, on the one hand, because he couldn't control his emotions and liked to spray feces at people, and he also liked to break some league biases, and these biases would just affect the referee's decision, Rashid told the truth, and as a result, all the referees broke the defense, on the other hand, the spinach black whistle Donaji, who was later released from prison, broke the reason:

Rashid once was dissatisfied with the penalty in a game, angrily spewing out at Donaghi, only to be blown a technical foul by the latter, and the disgruntled Rashid chose to go to the parking lot after the game to block Donaghi's door, and raised his fist to Donaghi to threaten and intimidate. The league later punished Rashid with a seven-game suspension, and Donaghi retaliated by rallying his colleagues against him.

Mo Wen only hopes that this bald head can maintain a minimum of restraint and not steal the show too much.

Otherwise, he can't guarantee that this bald head is Christmas or Good Friday, after all, the stadium is so small, and it is normal for some accidents to occur.

O'Neal didn't go to the referee, but ran to Kobe Bryant and muttered trash talk.

If it was when they were on the same team before, Ao Fat might sincerely praise Kobe Bryant's "spirituality" at this time, but now, he looks down on Kobe Bryant's villain behavior in his heart.

His moral standards are as flexible as his body.

However, Bryant acted as if he hadn't heard what O'Neal said,

With half a minute left in the game, Wade was not substituted.

The Lakers possessed the ball, Kobe Bryant broke through to the mid-range and shot wide under the bag of Mo Wen and Wade, and Damon Jones picked up the leak and grabbed the rebound to Mo Wen.

There was not much time, Mo Wen grabbed two steps outside the three-point line to shoot iron, the lights were on and the whistle sounded, and he entered the rest time.

In the first quarter, the Heat 31:28 Lakers, took a three-point lead.

In the second quarter, the Heat increased their height, replacing Damon Jones, Haslem, and Rassole and Dazhi, and Wade became the shortest player on the Heat's court.

The Lakers replaced Mime with Bryan Grant, who averaged less than 5 points per game but had a salary of 5 "skins", and replaced Atkins with Luke Wharton.

The point difference is too anxious, and the managers on both sides do not dare to change the core players easily.

After the game restarted, Wade did not look forward because of the two fouls on his back, and found Kobe Bryant with anger and excitement.

Even without the ball, the two are engaged in a high-intensity confrontation, and their arms are crisscrossed as if they are twisting twists, just for the advantage of half their bodies.

Luke Wharton held the ball at the top of the arc and swallowed as he looked at Mo Wen, who was defending in front of him.

No, Mo Wen shouldn't have defended Peterson, why did he run in front of him again?

Wharton Jr. had the experience of playing against Mo Wen in the Finals last season, so the last thing he wanted to meet in the entire Heat lineup was Mo Wen.

The feeling of being crushed by the ball dealer made him, a person who relies on the ball merchant to eat, very insecure.

He didn't pass the first ball to Kobe Bryant, who was still in a difficult position, but played a cross-run hand with Odom.

After Odom received the ball, he wanted to break inside to attract the defense, and then find an opportunity to pass the ball to Kobe, but he didn't want Dazhi to suddenly attack, so he took advantage of Odom's observation time and flew the ball bucket out.

Unfortunately, the direction in which the basketball flew out happened to be the direction of Kobe and Wade, noticing the movement of the basketball, and after picking up the basketball one step ahead, Kobe Bryant strode directly towards the basket.

Just when Kobe Bryant was trying to take off and dunk, Ao Fat, who had been in ambush on the bottom line for a long time, suddenly killed from the side.

He's been staring at this ball for a long time.

In the first quarter, Fat could feel Kobe's desire for his defensive interior.

It's just that Mime doesn't have any range, so Mime mentions high-level blocking, and it can't attract the premise of Ao Fat.

The Lakers switched to the space and Grant wanted to pull him out, but they underestimated Aufat's "love" for Kobe.

Smack-

The big slap of the casserole, clean and neat, easily flew the racket to the side.

Fans watching the game from the sidelines let out a burst of exclamations.

I'll finish the Christmas chapter tomorrow
