Chapter 302: Patient Play

Bryant's response had fans at the Stamp Center cheering.

Why fans like to watch Kobe Bryant play, in addition to the latter's graceful and beautiful playing posture, the latter's competitiveness and personal heroism are also the most attractive to fans.

Of course, once Kobe Bryant gets serious, in addition to choosing to become a lone wolf on the offensive end, the defensive end will also become very serious, staring straight at the opponent, eager to tear the opponent apart on the spot!

And the entire Lakers team, led by Kobe Bryant's example, suddenly increased their defensive intensity.

The Lakers' outside defense is ridiculously strong, especially Kobe Bryant and Ci Shiping form a forward lineup, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the strongest defensive combination in the league's No. 2 and No. 3 positions is not an exaggeration.

The few remaining members of the Lakers are also starting to get serious!

Hinrich dribbled the ball up front against Fisher's defense, and he tried to break through on his own, but found that he didn't have the ability.

Fisher was a stocky tank guard with a strong counter-attack but slow traverse speed.

What he can't defend himself from is either being able to pass his defender in one step, or being able to use his height to pull it out on his head.

It's a pity that Synrich doesn't account for any of these two points, Fisher is not afraid of Synrich's breakthrough, not only does not lose his defensive position, but uses his strong strength to directly rebound Synrich!

Li Kaiming went to cover for Hinrich, who finally got rid of Fisher's entanglement, and took advantage of Li Kaiming's kung fu to break through to the three-point line and meet Odom, who switched defenses.

Hinrich tricked Odom's defensive center of gravity with a shooting feint and continued to break inside.

At this time, Li Kaiming, who was on the outside, didn't watch dryly, and after Xinrich faced Odom, Li Kaiming also quickly moved towards the inside.

Hinrich successfully broke through to the Lakers' restricted area, and Gasol, who was sitting in the basket, couldn't stand and watch the play, so he greeted him directly.

Hinrich quickly judged the situation and found that it was unrealistic to pass directly to Blatch under the basket, and the remaining Sun Yue and Nick Yang on the outside were under strict defense, and the opportunity was fleeting, and he had to shoot now!

When Hinrich made an emergency stop directly on the spot, and when he put the ball together and was about to throw it against the defense of Odom and Gasol, Li Kaiming's voice came from his ears!

"Cork, give me the ball!"

The voice came from his left back side, but after such a long time of cooperating with Li Kaiming, Xin Liqi's trust in Li Kaiming was almost unreserved!

So he directly changed his throw into a pass in the air, and with a hook of his right wrist, he passed the ball in the direction of Li Kaiming!

Li Kaiming rushed forward sharply, and at the same time as receiving Hinrich's pass, Odom also reacted, and directly threw Hinrich to Gasol and pounced on him!

The Lakers deserve to be a championship team, and the rotation of the defensive formation in this sudden situation is still in order, except for Odom rushing over to defend Li Kaiming as a free man, the remaining Kobe Bryant and Ci Shiping on the outside are still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai!

Li Kaiming's position to receive the ball has reached the position of a small step inside the free throw line, in this narrow penalty area, Odom's speed makes him almost instantaneous in front of Li Kaiming!

Next to the Lakers' bench, passing coach Phil Jackson sat in a chair prepared for him by the staff, holding a tactical board in one hand, and staring at the court through glasses with slightly squinted eyes, if you didn't look closely, you would think that the old man was asleep on the sidelines.

But only the people around him could see clearly, Phil Jackson's eyes were open, and in addition to that, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he were just a spectator tonight.

The situation on the court has reached the most critical moment, but Li Kaiming did not panic at all after receiving the ball, first raised his basketball eyes and aimed at the basket to make a shooting action.

Odom, who pounced, jumped up without thinking, and I have to say that this guy's continuous jumping ability is very good, but unfortunately it was used in the wrong place this time.

Li Kaiming waited for Odom to jump up and then directly collected the ball and strode to the basket!

Gasol was finally a little scrambling in the face of the three people in the penalty area alone, after all, no matter how good he was, he was only one person, and he didn't have three heads and six arms.

However, Gasol's defensive decision in the moment was still very clear, and he pounced directly on Li Kaiming, who held the ball and was the most offensive threat among the three.

Li Kaiming shouted in his heart!

After tricking Gasol's two arms with a feint, Li Kaiming hit the ball and passed it to Brach, who was screaming under the basket.

The Lakers' basket lost Gasol, the last line of defense, and Bradge dunked with both hands after receiving the ball!

8 to 6!

It was a very risky shot, because the offensive time was almost out before Bradch dunked!

In the studio of Huaguo Sports Channel, Zhang Weiping praised Li Kaiming with a smile, "This ball is really patient, there is no time left to attack!" ”

Yang Yi next to him interjected, "Coach Zhang, this shows that the Lakers' defense is good, and the Wizards didn't find an opportunity until the offensive time was almost over!" ”

If it was an ordinary game, Yang Yi's words would definitely make Zhang Weiping unhappy, but tonight's opponent for the Wizards is the Lakers.

Zhang Weiping has a well-known nickname called "Weiping Bryant", which means that Zhang Weiping likes Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, and he also favors the Lakers in the commentary.

Therefore, for Yang Yi's kind reminder tonight, Wei Ping Bryant was not unhappy at all, but nodded happily.

For Zhang Weiping, the Lakers win the present, and the Wizards win the future, which is the outcome he wants to see the most.

On the pitch, the battle between the two sides continues.

The Lakers served to Fisher to the frontcourt, Gasol came up to play a triangle offensive strategy, and Artest bypassed Gasol and received a pass from the latter's head to the basket.

Sun Yue's consciousness was good and he didn't lose it, but after Atai got the ball, he jumped directly, and at the same time set up the ball protector to elbow Sun Yue who was standing on his side and directly overturned Sun Yue, and then hit a layup!

10 to 6!

This is the Stamp Center, the home of the Lakers, and this kind of ball naturally won't blow Atay's foul.

The Lakers haven't conceded a single goal since the beginning of the game, which shows how poor the Wizards' defense is.

Only a third of the way into the first quarter, the Lakers scored 10 points on 100 percent shooting with the Wizards' defense, and it was no surprise that tonight was another high-scoring game for the Lakers.

Li Kaiming pulled up Sun Yue, and when he saw the latter holding his ribs, he grinned in pain, and said in his heart that this Atai is really ruthless, worthy of the most versatile player in NbA history, everyone else plays from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, and Atai can play from the field to the audience!

patted Sun Yue on the shoulder to show encouragement, and Li Kaiming immediately ran to the frontcourt.

In the face of Hinrich and Li Kaiming's blocking and dismantling of the two-person turn, the Lakers' defensive learning ability is particularly strong, and most of the space is directly left to Hinrich, leaving only Gasol under the basket alone, the most important thing is to resolutely not change the defense and not give Li Kaiming any chance to play misplaced.

In the face of this kind of defense, Hinrich decisively chose to shoot a mid-range jumper!

Hinrich had a good hand tonight and seized this opportunity to hit the shot!

10 to 8!

Honk!

On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson, who was leaning on the back of his chair like a sculpture, suddenly called a timeout without warning!

You can't see Phil Jackson's psychological state at all just by looking at the appearance, but judging from the move of calling a timeout, he may not be satisfied with the Lakers' defense!

In addition to talking about the main points of defense from the bench, Phil Jackson also made the first personnel change of the game.

He unexpectedly replaced Kobe Bryant, took a spring man, Shannon Brown, and maintained the starting lineup for all other positions.

The Wizards did not make a rotation. The game continues.

The Lakers served, Fisher dribbled to the frontcourt, Gasol came up to block the pick-up, and Fisher faced Bracch, who was hesitating near the free throw line, and killed it directly!

When he was about to be cornered, Fisher made a behind-the-head pass to Gasol, who was following behind.

After receiving the ball, Gasol directly stretched out his left arm to protect the ball, and his right arm stretched out to make a throw!

12 to 8!

The Wizards attacked, Li Kaiming asked for the ball after arriving in the front court, and in the face of Odom's defense, he directly played the ball in a large disguise, and entered the Lakers' interior line, and his breakthrough attracted Artest's help defense, and Li Kaiming put the ball on the outside line for a point.

Sun Yue on the outside received the ball and threw it, but unfortunately Atai's defense quickly returned to its place, and under the influence of the latter, Sun Yue hit three points.

Gasol picked up the rebound and handed it to Fisher to carry to the frontcourt.

The Lakers waited for Gasol to settle down and gave the ball to Odom, who was on his back at the waist.

Odom is known as the "left-handed magic" because of his tall stature, but he can also act as the center of the team's ball in positional battles, and his tall body and passing ability always remind people of the Lakers' legendary superstar Magic Johnson.

After Odom got the ball, one foot turned into a back to the basket, and the rest of the Lakers team also began to run, Gasol went up to make a cover for Fisher first, and then suddenly turned and went down, leaning on Blatch to receive Odom's pass, and then directly three steps to the basket!

Li Kaiming, who defended Odom, saw it clearly, and as soon as Gasol received the ball, he directly let go of Odom and rushed to the basket, and completed the frame protection with Brach!

Gasol missed a layup, and the rebound was picked up by Li Kaiming.

Fisher suddenly began to defend himself close to Hinrich, preventing him from receiving the ball.

So Li Kaiming directly dribbled to the front court by himself, and after half a quarter of alignment, Odom did not give Li Kaiming a chance to shoot three points.

But this time he relaxed a little, and was transported by Li Kaiming to the front court outside the three-point line and hit it with a shot!

12 to 11!

Kobe Bryant, who was sitting on the bench, was excited when he saw this scene!

He is ready to play and Li Kaiming against Biao later!

The lineup played for a few more minutes, and it wasn't until there were four minutes left in the first quarter that the two sides were tied at 21-20 that the Lakers took advantage of an official timeout to replace Kobe Bryant.

The Wizards also rotated the lineup, and Li Kaiming appeared again with a five-outside lineup, ready to challenge the Lakers' outside defensive intensity.

Sanders also wants to know what kind of tricks Phil Jackson can come up with in the face of the Wizards, the league's No. 1 offensive firepower?
