Chapter 233 Give me back what I punished

Timeout, Clippers bench.

Trailing by 8 points for the first time in the series, Van Gundy looked calm and even smiled a little.

"They encountered foul trouble inside, we can use this to launch an attack. As for Kobe's current scoring streak, let him score consecutively. We can continue to double-team. Actively changing strategies is easy to be passive, so take your time!"

After Van Gundy finished speaking, he stared at Gordon for two seconds, as if he had some deep meaning.

Gordon showed embarrassment, and then nodded to express his understanding. It was a bit embarrassing to rush to chase the three-pointer before.

Su Yang raised his hand and patted Gordon's shoulder, wanting to say that it's not shameful to be blown up by Kobe, but he said nothing.

Van Gundy arranged a few more detailed tactics, mainly using Gasol and Odom to make a fuss less tough. As long as the Lakers can be forced to increase their defense on the inside, the Clippers can find their rhythm on the outside.

There was a short pause between everyone's discussions.

The game continued, the Clippers launched an attack from the bottom line, Su Yang received the ball and turned around, slowly advancing.

Unexpectedly, Fisher rushed towards him suddenly, and other Lakers players also followed to find someone.

The crowd's pressing started instantly, and Su Yang subconsciously turned sideways to protect the ball while looking up at the frontcourt.

Barnes ran backwards in an unusually tacit understanding, and reached the center line in a blink of an eye, getting a super wide open.

Su Yang immediately made a strong long pass, and Barnes turned around after receiving the ball, took two steps forward quickly, and also made a long pass vigorously.Gordon just rushed to the short corner on the left, bent over to catch the basketball, turned around to face Kobe, took a step to test, and kicked off the ground to make a shot.

In a hurry, Kobe didn't have time to block the shot, and the basketball swished into the net.

"The double-teaming after the Lakers timeout is a bit outdated..." Miller shook his head slightly, "The Clippers have too many people who can handle the ball, and they are not the kind of team that relies entirely on point guards to bring the ball across the half court. Give it a chance..."

On the field, Fisher ran across the center line with the ball.

The audience chanted 'pass the ball to Kobe', strongly urging Kobe to continue his scoring show.

Fisher threw the ball to the top of the arc as if on command, and Kobe caught the ball and turned and threw it to the right wing.

Gasol raised his hand to catch the ball and wanted to pass back to Fisher who rushed to the bottom corner, but unfortunately there was no chance.

The basketball returned to Kobe's hands at the top of the arc, the audience shouted again, and Kobe broke through with heavy shoulders.

Gordon chased close to him, Kobe stopped suddenly at the elbow, pulled the ball smartly, turned around, and broke through the middle.

Randolph moved across from the other elbow, and Kobe bounced off the ball, twisted and threw the ball to his right elbow.

Gasol received the ball and played high, ignoring Randolph's flying back to the defense, and raised his hand to score two long points.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

Cheers erupted in the arena, and Marvin said excitedly: "The Clippers don't use double-teams, but Kobe scores in singles. The Clippers use double-teams, but Kobe assists his teammates. No matter how you play, you can succeed. It is difficult for the Clippers to make effective defenses... "

On the court, Su Yang dribbled the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line.

Seeing that there was a relatively large gap between the top of the arc and the free throw line, he switched his left hand to his right hand, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, kicked the ground with force, and took one step away from Fisher. CIC.

The basketball hit the basket and rebounded into the net. The Clippers chased 16 to 22, and their scoring efficiency was greatly improved.

Offensive and defensive transition, Odom dribbled the ball to the left wing, observed for a while on the spot, shoulders heavy and sideways.

The Clippers' defensive focus shifted simultaneously, but Kobe used the screen to go around and catch the ball at 45 degrees on the right.

Gordon hurried to catch up with him, but Kobe took advantage of the situation and made a strong jump, opening the distance like a flash.

Randolph was forced to intercept from the left elbow, but Kobe seemed to lose his desire to score offensively. He raised his hand and threw the ball to Odom who was in the open space. Dove made a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 16 to 25.

The Lakers widened the point difference, and the audience cheered loudly, as if celebrating the victory of the game.

Weber frowned: "Gordon can't defend Kobe alone, why did the Clippers give up the 32 zone defense they used before?"

Miller said: "Probably because Kobe showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning of the game, and the 32-zone defense was difficult to deal with low-post singles. Kobe is a master of low-post singles and cannot easily make changes..."

On the court, Su Yang ran to the left wing with the ball, cooperated with Gordon in a hand-to-hand screen, and went straight to the bottom corner.

Gordon took the ball and passed to the top of the arc, twisted his hips and cut into the inside line, setting up a wall for Randolph as a screen.

Jordan took the ball and turned around, then passed the right wing to Barnes, who also went down to the basket.

Randolph sneaked up to the top of the arc, received a pass from Barnes, and singled Odom.

At this time, almost all the area above the free throw line was left, and at the same time, Gordon and Jordan set up a double wall on the bottom line, and Su Yang used the two of them as a cover to move from the left corner to a wide range to the bottom right corner.

In this way, all the space on the left side is also left.

Randolph made a slight test, crossed the ball, lowered his center of gravity and rushed vigorously.

Odom previously turned his back to the basket and thought there were many teammates on the left, but turned around and found no one.Seeing that there was no time to catch up, he slapped Randolph's dribbler, thinking that it would be best if he could slap it off, and if he couldn't get it out, it would be a tactical foul.

Beep!The whistle sounded, the referee signaled the thug to foul, and gave Randolph two free throw opportunities.

Omdo immediately stared and spread his hands, and rushed to the referee to seek an explanation. He didn't expect such a result at all, and even deserved a foul for nothing. The Lakers' internal rotation was already tight.

Boos sounded in the arena, Randolph high-fived his teammates, stood at the free throw line and made consecutive hits.

The Clippers caught up to 18 to 25, and the scoring stone did not stop or slow down, and the form was very good.

Marvin said with some heartache: "The Lakers must control the number of fouls, otherwise it will be difficult to play later."

Webber chuckled: "Don't worry, the referee will help the Lakers..."

"Kang Muang!" Miller interrupted aloud, and the topic became game prediction.

On the court, Kobe took the ball at the top of the arc, turned around and passed to the right wing.

Omdo received the ball and raised his hand to pass Gasol, but was interrupted by Jordan.He immediately changed to left-handed dribbling, rushed to the bottom corner with two steps, stopped abruptly and raised his hand to Fisher, and then rushed to the basket along the inside line.

Fisher took the ball straight to the waist, Gasol caught the ball with his hands up, and Odom just ran to the basket.

Randolph suffered from speed and agility, and failed to catch up to Odom in time. Barnes quickly shrank from the left waist and blocked the passing route between Gasol and Odom, but he could only let go Artest at the elbow.

Gasol seemed to have expected it, and immediately turned around and threw the ball over. Artest caught the ball and went straight to the basket.

Barnes returned to the defense in a hurry, and Artest made three strong steps with the ball, carrying him for a layup.

when!The basketball hit the basket and fell, and Odom jumped up on the spot, grabbed the ball and made a tip-up to score.

There was applause in the arena, and the Clippers rushed to launch a fast break. Su Yang rushed to the left wing and cooperated hand in hand with Gordon.

Gordon took the ball and shifted to 45 degrees, using Jordan's cover to temporarily get rid of Kobe.

Kobe bypassed the screen to intercept, Gordon pulled the ball back, and made a quick three-pointer.

when!Smashing baskets and striking iron.

Gasol grabbed the rebound, Bryant received the ball and moved forward, and the audience shouted for the Lakers to come on.

Fisher received the ball from the left wing, failed to try to break through Su Yang, and hurriedly passed the ball back to the top of the arc.

Kobe took the ball and turned around to split again. Odom caught the ball and faced Randolph, suddenly jumped up and shot.

Beep!The referee whistled for a shooting foul and Odom had three free throw opportunities.

There were loud cheers in the arena, and Randolph froze in place with a confused expression on his face.

Van Gundy rushed to the referee angrily, and asked loudly: "Why did Zach just raise his hand to interfere, and there was no violation at all. Odom took the ball and hit him in his hand, so that's okay?"

The referee turned to look at Su Yang: "He made the same move before, and we called Fisher a foul..."

Van Gundy was dumbfounded, and Su Yang was also stunned.

Here, I stole three free throws with Durant's big loop before, and now I have to pay them back?

The key is that the situation is very unfavorable for the Clippers.

If all three free throws are made, the Clippers will be 12 points behind.
