Chapter 227 Gasol in the lake
"Maybe this is the defending champion, there is always someone who can stand up..."
Su Yang put away his thoughts, strode to the bottom line to catch the ball, and looked back to see Kobe playing again.
Although there was no announcer to announce, the audience spontaneously cheered in unison, including many Clippers fans.
"Is this too hard?"
Su Yang felt a little shocked, and looked closely at Kobe's palm. It seemed that the middle finger and ring finger were tied together, and it was probably connected abruptly, or handled in other ways, and he didn't seem to want to give up at all.
"Then I can only do my best, this is the greatest respect for him..."
After making up his mind, Su Yang took the ball and ran to the top of the arc.
Seeing that the Lakers did not defend the zone defense, he decisively used Randolph as a cover and tried to break through on the sideline.
Fisher squeezed through the wall to catch up, while Bynum stayed near the paint and intercepted with open arms.Seeing this situation, Su Yang slowed down and lowered his center of gravity, pouted his buttocks to withstand Fisher, pulled the ball in the opposite direction and moved towards the free throw line, ready to go in the middle.
Bynum's ability to move laterally is far less flexible than Odom's, and much inferior to Gasol's.
With this change of direction, Su Yang easily grabbed the breakthrough space, and Bynum did not have time to twist his hips with all his strength.Fisher was also blocked by Su Yang with his back, and after struggling to catch up, he was covered by Randolph.For a while, the Lakers had no players to defend Su Yang.
Gasol quickly shrunk and intercepted from the other side, but Barnes, who was in charge of his defense, was emptied again.
Su Yang immediately passed the ball, and Barnes took the ball and took off on the spot, and flew back to the defense in front of Gasol, and the shot was two points long.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 74 to 70.
"Beautiful!" Cole exclaimed excitedly, "I have seen the shadow of Nash in Su Yang. If he hadn't just eliminated us, I would stand up and applaud him. They are very good at handling small-scale spaces."
"Then what do you think is the biggest difference between him and Nash?" Marvin asked with a smile.
"He is crazy, with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant's self-proclaimed No. [-] character." Kerr said, "And his physical fitness is better than Nash, but Nash is better at driving his teammates to score."
On the court, the basketball was transmitted several times, and Gasol slung his back to the bottom line, assisting Kobe to run back and score a layup.
Davis failed to guard again this time, and immediately showed a little frustration, and vented after catching the ball hard and hard.
Su Yang smiled and stepped forward to encourage, saying that it was not Davis' mistake, just call back.
He didn't deliberately tell lies to comfort, but Kobe himself has a height advantage, and Gasol's passing ability is also very strong. He has made several post-up passes before. crime of war.
Davis calmed down after hearing the words, and the two ran to the frontcourt in parallel. Su Yang took the ball to the right to find cover.
The Lakers switched defenses very quickly, and Fisher also squeezed through the wall like lightning, without giving any room for a breakthrough.
Su Yang shouted for another cover, and Randolph stepped up immediately, completely blocking Fisher.
Bynum did not chase out to change defense, Su Yang rushed to the short corner with a few steps, and made an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot.
The basketball went into the net hollow, 76 to 72.
Su Yang turned back to the defense, wondering in his heart: "Why did the Lakers suddenly give up the zone defense? Could it be that they were worried about not having enough energy, and they had to wait for the critical moment to reactivate it. The current score is relatively tight, and they mainly focus on conventional routines."
Thinking of Bynum's three-second violation, Su Yang felt that it was very possible that the Lakers were playing a big game.
In a blink of an eye, the Lakers settled in the frontcourt.
Gasol raised the left-wing support, leaving all the interior space to Bynum to pull the Clippers' defensive formation.
This is one of the strategies to break the Clippers' zone defense, but Randolph gritted his teeth and went around to interfere with Bynum receiving the ball.
The basketball couldn't be passed into the inside for a while, and could only be passed continuously outside the three-point line. Artest secretly cut inside.
Gasol slammed straight into the paint, and Artest took the ball and made a three-step layup.
Snapped!Gordon has a big hat on the side, and the basketball flies to the top of the arc.
Gasol took two strides, bent down to catch it, got up and scanned the court, and threw the ball to Kobe.
Davis was going to shrink and grab the rebound before, but seeing Kobe got the ball, he rushed back to the defense in a hurry.Kobe didn't hesitate, and directly shot a three-pointer. The basketball hit the basket and hit the iron. Gasol rushed to the basket and jumped high, competing with Randolph in the air at the same time.
The basketball was forced to fly out of bounds, the referee blew the whistle and awarded the Clippers the ball, and Su Yang stood on the baseline and waited.
Collins said: "Our criticism of Gasol at the beginning of the game seemed a bit rushed..."
Marvin nodded: "During the Lakers offense, he contributed two exquisite passes, grabbed an offensive rebound, and almost grabbed the second offensive rebound, but unfortunately he failed to make a shot, otherwise it would be a classic Gasol moment .”
Cole said: "Pau Gasol is the key reason why the Lakers soared after 08. He can do too many things on the offensive and defensive teams. The effect of collocation with Kobe, compared with the collocation effect of Kobe and O'Neal, can be said to have advantages..."
On the court, the scoring efficiency of the two teams dropped a bit, and they only scored 2 points in more than a minute.
With Bynum fouled, the Lakers requested a timeout and Odom came on for a replacement.
Su Yang stepped to the free throw line and made both hits, giving the Clippers an 80-74 lead.
It was the Lakers attack again, and Fisher ran the ball across the center line and raised his hand to the left wing.
Gasol held the ball high, took a tentative step, and forced Randolph face-to-face.
Randolph twisted his hips and turned sideways a little slower, and he was thrown out of the distance. Davis subconsciously moved laterally to help defend.Gasol immediately passed the ball to the top of the arc, then turned around and ran to the bottom corner, and Fisher, who arrived early, made an off-ball screen for each other.
Kobe Bryant received the ball at the top of the arc, and seeing Gasol grab the position, he immediately passed the ball long.
Gasol catches the ball and stands firmly, raises his hand and shoots Brandolph, who is about to block the block, and makes a steady mid-range shot.
The basketball hit the basket and rebounded into the net, 80 to 76.
The Clippers made a fast break, and Su Yang quickly ran to the center line with the ball, and made a long pass to the right wing of the frontcourt.
Gordon took the ball and was about to step forward, Gasol stepped forward to block the space in the middle.
In such a situation, Gordon switched to cross-stepping and made a breakthrough in the direction of the bottom line.
But in less than two seconds, Kobe returned to the defensive position and blocked the breakthrough route.
Gordon pulled the ball forward and changed direction, heading straight for the paint area. Seeing this, Su Yang hurriedly waved his hand to stop it.
At the same time, Gordon was flanked by three players.
Seeing Su Yang waving his hand, he mistook it for a ball and immediately threw it over.
But his movements were too obvious, and Fisher made a diagonal stab and snatched the basketball.
Cheers erupted from the Staples Center, the Lakers launched a three-line fast break, Fisher took the ball and rushed along, Artest continued to follow up from the left sideline, Odom responded along the right, everyone had their own arrangements , do not interfere with each other.
Su Yang chased all the way to the top of the arc and was about to try to steal when Fisher made a long pass to the right.
Odom received the ball and passed it to the top of the arc, Gasol took the ball non-stop, and then passed it to Artest who made an empty cut to attack the basket.
Artest took the ball to take advantage of the situation and hit the basket with a dunk. The Lakers chased 78 to 80.
Artest turned to Pau Gasol and beat his chest, and the other Lakers cheered Pau Gasol.
Seeing this situation, Su Yang raised his eyebrows on his hips: "It's hard to deal with the three of Fisher. Why did Gasol suddenly become tough again? Then it should be Kobe's turn next? Wait until the critical moment of the fourth quarter before starting to act. "
