149. Deterrence against veterans
Li Ao didn't know about the development of back play, and he thought that the comprehensive physical conditions of this big spider, at the moment when the ball control was not good enough, it was a very smart choice to develop a back play with low demand for ball control.
But that's a quick deal!
Kobe Bryant lost his mind for a moment, and suddenly felt that his shorts were being pulled, and he quickly pulled Li Ao up.
Li Ao left a sentence of "three buckles" and ran to the backcourt.
Bryant took a deep breath.
Don't be angry, don't be angry, when you get sick, others laugh, and you can't grab the boss position...... But I can't help but be angry!
This big spider that killed a thousand knives, his teammates all ran up to help him, he was stunned, he had to pull his pants and stand up!
He had always thought that there would be no one more annoying than Garnett, but he didn't expect the world to be so big.
However, compared to Garnett, the big spider was just annoying, but it didn't make him feel disgusted, and he could still see admirable qualities in this big spider from time to time.
This made him even more angry, the education he received since he was a child did not allow him to scold the street for that little thing, and he couldn't be angry......
But isn't there a chance? Explode the big spider!
Bryant came to the front court and saw that his teammates' triangle offensive positions were for the low post back play, and some of his unhappiness was transferred to a certain teammate, but he still honestly came to the receiving point and waited.
O'Neal continued to play a low-back shot to eat O'Neal Jr., and he saw Sean Lukes move closer to the three-second zone in advance, but instead of attracting the pinch pass, he continued to chisel!
It's like the night 10 months ago, when the Clippers collapsed!
"Smack"
"Beep"
After O'Neal Jr. was knocked back, he stretched out his hand and slapped O'Neill as he turned around...... Slap on O'Neill's hand that had just picked up the ball, slap the ball off, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.
This slap was crisp and loud, the scene was so noisy, the fans outside the bottom line could hear it clearly, O'Neal bared his teeth in pain and shrugged his nose, and pushed a palm on little O'Neal.
With the strength of the big shark, little O'Neill was pushed to the ground.
Lakers players are screaming that they are going to suffer!
Spider-Man walked towards the bottom line!
The Zen master on the sidelines also stood up, and his heart hung in the air.
And then......
"Sir, can an MVP hit someone in a game? Is this a physical foul or a malicious foul? ”
O'Neal's eyes, who were ready for a 'big fight', widened, and the rest of the Lakers were equally stunned.
Spider-Man ran to sue the referee?
The referee, who was also nervous, was speechless, hesitated for a moment, but blew the whistle and made a T gesture to O'Neal.
He didn't speak, and answered Li Ao with practical actions, not a violation of the body or a crime.
Seeing Li Ao step forward with a regretful look on his face, he pulled little O'Neill up, and then changed his face, and said to little O'Neill with a smile, "Well done...... The Lakers players call me a.
This ball was obviously not a deliberate conflict, but Spider-Man seized the opportunity and used the influence of his 'One Dozen Seven Incidents' to add O'Neal's referee's push action that may just be a warning to the technical foul!
has already eaten a technical foul, O'Neal's next defensive action is bound to be affected, what if the opponent touches porcelain again? Tonight's referee obviously didn't dare to bet on whether Spider-Man would be impulsive.
Longevity! Spider-Man not only has amazing combat power, but also uses his brain!
…
Li Ao came to the opposite side to execute a technical penalty and hit it steadily.
O'Neal Jr. was fouled before O'Neal fouled and is currently dead-ball, with Gentry replacing McGinnis, Nesby and Sean Lukes with Greg Anthony, Piakowski and Chris Meme.
Before the second round was played, the starting point guard was replaced, but McGinnis got used to it.
At the beginning, he was replaced after two or three minutes of starting, and he also felt weird, but the total playing time did not decrease, but increased the playing time from time to time, and the right to shoot and the ball were guaranteed.
Yes, that's a good thing!
The game continues.
O'Neal's technical foul was generated after the dead ball, which did not affect the ownership of the ball, and O'Neal had not yet made a shooting action when O'Neal Jr. fouled, and the Lakers returned to the offensive time table and continued to attack.
O'Neill continued to fall into a low position, was violently fouled, and was touched porcelain, how could he bear it, he wanted to beat O'Neill on the opposite side to call Dad!
But...... On the opposite side, a center with a bigger tonnage was changed to defend him.
Although he still sat the opponent under the basket with two butts, and repelled the opposing O'Neal who rushed up to score two points, and the static confrontation of this meat shield center was more sufficient, he still felt that the momentum was not used.
Panic!
When it came to the Clippers' offense, Greg Anthony and O'Neal Jr. blocked and dismantled, and in the face of two experienced veterans, Ron Harper and Hores Grant, the Clippers didn't play the pick-and-roll offense.
Bryant followed Li Ao closely, and Piakowski on the wing had no sense of cover, and Li Ao couldn't run out of chances, and he couldn't attract Ron Harper or Hores Grant to the pick-and-roll.
Li Ao didn't have time to be surprised by the improvement of the explosive head without the ball, he came to the right side of the free throw line and leaned against Kobe!
Piakowski moved to the bottom right corner, Chris Meem moved to the left side of the three-second zone, and O'Neal Jr. moved to the left mid-range.
Greg Anthony passed the ball to Li Ao and pulled it away to the right 45-degree angle.
Li Ao's mood gradually became excited.
In the previous games, he also tried to play back, but not much, and never used it as a primary offensive tool.
Tonight, when I met a big guy in defense, I actually wanted to use this trick to attack!
It's about the same as taking Kobe Bryant to practice actual combat back fighting?
Kobe Bryant secretly exerted force against Li Ao's elbow, but did not rashly reach out to steal or completely press up, and was very patient.
Li Ao's brain was burning, and he thought about all the conditions that James Worthy said could be used, but there was none!
That can only be the simplest and crude...... He leaned forward sharply towards Kobe, followed the force of the rebound, took a step forward, turned, jumped, and shot......
Although he was not capped, his shooting was interfered with, and Li Ao scored two points!
Ron Harper guarded the defensive rebound, and Li Ao muttered "It seems that the priority to strengthen should be to turn over."
Surprise of the Zen master on the sidelines!
It wasn't that Kobe Bryant surprised him by preventing Li Ao's back hit, and it was obvious that he could prevent it.
Kobe Bryant's single-defense offense with the ball, the strongest guard line in the league today, this season and last season, Kobe Bryant's one-on-one single defense, limiting the opponent's shooting rate, is better than Payton, although Payton is over 30 years old and the defense is not at its peak, but Kobe is only 22 years old.
At the age of 21, Kobe Bryant was selected for the first defense, setting a new record for the youngest player in the first defense.
Kobe Bryant's defense, the Zen master is very satisfied, but there are still regrets for him.
Although Jordan reached the first defense level relatively late, he was selected at the age of 25.
But in the Zen master's view, the height that Jordan finally reached on the defensive end, Kobe Bryant may not be able to reach in the end.
Jordan has experienced the baptism of college basketball, with a comprehensive development of single defense, assistant defense, supplementary defense, and off-ball defense, and a good balance between ball-holding defense and off-ball defense.
Kobe's physical fitness, defensive skills, and concentration are also impeccable, and the single defense is strong, and the assistant defense is also online.
But once Kobe Bryant's defenders don't have the ball in their hands, it's easy to leak.
In the finals last season, Kobe Bryant's defense against Reggie Miller was not as good as Fisher's, and Steve Smith's defense in the Western Conference finals was also average.
His attention is always on the person with the ball, even if it's a three-second zone, and he often stares at that side.
This is a problem left over from the defensive polishing stage, now Kobe's defense is very mature, and it is difficult to change, Zen Master reminded many times last season, and when it came to the finals, there was no improvement.
But tonight, things seem to have changed......
When it came to the Lakers' offense, O'Neal received the ball in the low post, received the ball and hit a step, the frequency of action was not as fast as the previous three back hits, and O'Neal Jr. hit it in place.
But O'Neill was deliberately slow, he hit the ball in time and passed straight to the bottom line.
Hores Grant makes a close-range catch-and-shoot jumper from the baseline......
Iron!
O'Neal Jr. takes the defensive rebound.
O'Neill: ⊙ (◇)?
How can this guy catch and shoot in this position?
O'Neill's eyes moved to the right and saw Li Ao who stopped shrinking and turned to run to the front.
Isn't it, isn't it, the second-generation cobra, actually afraid of the spider opposite?
When it came to the Clippers' offense, after playing two singles, Li Ao began to slip the baseline and conceded the high post to Greg Anthony and O'Neal Jr. to block and dismantle.
O'Neal Jr. took it apart and came to the left side of the three-second zone to receive the ball, and Ron Harper was experienced, sticking to O'Neal Jr. and restricting O'Neal Jr. from jumping.
O'Neal Jr. has made terrible shots at this distance, averaging only 1.4 shots per game from this distance this season, hitting 0.5 shots and a 34% shooting percentage.
But he voted decisively!
This is one of the few opportunities they have at the moment that can be considered a good shot.
It feels good, and O'Neal Jr. hits the shot when the jump is somewhat limited!
When it came to the Lakers' offense, O'Neal didn't believe in evil, asked for the ball to play alone, attracted the pinch shot, and split the ball Hores Grant...... This thing catches the ball and throws it one step outside the right side of the three-second zone!
And, iron-clad again!
O'Neal tried to rush, O'Neal Jr. and Chris Meem only cared about the stuck position this time, and Rao O'Neal had no choice but to watch Li Ao who received it to protect the defensive rebound.
O'Neill hurried back, but he was confused.
Hores-Grant's close-range shot from outside the three-second zone is similar to O'Neal Jr.'s mid-range shot, and it's at a level where he can shoot without shooting in this area.
O'Neill wondered, what's going on tonight? Could it be that you are really afraid?
Ten thousand alpacas ran through his heart.
But his character is not the type of harsh rule.
He looked at the exploding head that was following Spider-Man - why don't you scold!
Aren't you very fond of pointing fingers at who doesn't do well?
Hurry up and scold! I'll support you this time, big brother!
But Chubby's voice didn't reach the exploding head.
The exploding head now only has Spider-Man in his eyes, and he has to follow him to death.
The Clippers attacked, O'Neal Jr. continued to block with Greg Anthony, this time he was more confident, received the ball and dipped a shot, Ron Harper reached for the ball, O'Neal Jr. flexibly turned around Ron Harper, stepped into close range in two steps, jumped before O'Neal didn't come out, and shot...... Again!
After playing against Duncan, O'Neal Jr. has been hardened in the game, and his offensive and defensive actions are very decisive, and now that Odom can't play, he has long been ready to take on the offensive responsibility.
It's just that the second shot point in the previous game became McGinnis, and now that the opportunity came, he thought about how to play, and went straight to it.
O'Neal Jr. scored 4 points in a row, the score was 7-4, and the Clippers led by 3 points!
It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and after a few rounds of chiseling, O'Neal didn't ask for the ball again, and Rick Fox passed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe Bryant's high-level frame singles, breakthrough!
Li Ao blocked the middle, Kobe Bryant changed direction and rushed down the right side, encountered Greg Anthony's supplementary defense, and split the ball with Ron Harper...... Ron Harper cut in to catch the ball and made a pull-up jump shot from a big step from three seconds out......
Iron!
O'Neill actively rushed and grabbed the ball, but did not point in, and rushed again, and the ball was won by Li Ao, who was collected in it.
O'Neal finally remembered that on the first day of this year, when they played against the Clippers, it seemed that the team's veterans scored very little in the three-second zone, and the shots close to the basket seemed to be outside the three-second zone.
But that night, Hores Grant scored 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting, Ron Harper scored 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting, and Brian Shaw scored 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting.
But tonight, the two veterans of Hores Grant and Ron Harper, who started the game, did not feel good, and the problem was suddenly exposed!
O'Neal was dumbfounded - is the deterrent power of Spider-Man so great?
…
After the first quarter, O'Neal, who was replaced after 9 minutes of play, looked at the score and wanted to turn into an explosive head and point at his teammates and scold them, offending all his teammates.
Veterans really don't dare to enter the inside line!
But the young teammates ...... O'Neal swept through his teammates, Hores Grant, Rick Fox, Horry, Ron Harper, Brian Shaw, Greg Foster, Isaiah Rydell, Tyronn Lue, Devin George, plus them OK, are their team's 11-man main rotation this season.
11 players, 6 of whom are at least 30 years old.
In addition to their OK, the brother who is less than 30 years old, the blockbuster recruit Ryder is drunk and drug-ridden, and it has been confirmed that it is invalid, but Fisher needs a forward guard before he returns, and he will use it, with a 37% catch-and-shoot three-point shooting rate, and he can also top a wing; Taryn Lu Taicai; Devin George is a pure defensive player who shoots an outrageous 29.1 percent from the field so far this season, and he doesn't think it's up to him to bolster the offense.
The youngest of the veterans is Horry, 30 years old, but his athleticism declined early, and he switched to a big shooter at the beginning of the shrinking season, averaging 0.9 shots per game under the basket and 0.5 shots per game from close range.
Don't dare to enter the inside line, in fact, it's not a big problem, there are vacant opportunities at close range, and it's okay to shoot, but tonight's veterans are not as hot as the shooting feel of the last time, as role players, they generally don't practice close-range shooting, this is the 'star position'.
The opposing coaching staff also sensed this early on, adjusted the defense, and put the veteran pitchers on the mid-range shots, letting them cut into the close-range frame.
Faced with such a situation, the Zen master had no good way for a while, so he simply closed his eyes and recited the scriptures......
23-17, the Clippers led the Lakers by 6 points in the first quarter!
