Chapter 220 This Is The Defending Champion?
The first quarter of the game ended quickly, and the Clippers led the Lakers 35 to 19.
Su Yang led the team back to the bench, and Van Gundy immediately started to make arrangements. The Clippers coaching staff had already had detailed countermeasures on how to crack the Lakers zone defense or strengthen the perimeter defense. After a simple arrangement, the team was full of confidence.
The whistle sounded at the end of the intersection timeout, and the players of the two teams returned to the field.
The Lakers made lineup adjustments. Gasol, Kobe Bryant, and Fisher stayed on the court to rest, and Odom, Farmar, and Shannon Brown filled the vacancies respectively. On the Clippers side, Su Yang switched to shooting guard. The point guard goes to Davis.
In addition, Wesley Matthews also appeared to replace Barnes, which surprised the commentator.
In the second quarter, the game started in a blink of an eye. According to the result of the opening jump ball, the Lakers attacked first.
Bynum turned his back to ask for the ball when he came up, and he was sure that Jordan was trapped in a foul and violently grabbed two points.
The Lakers were only 14 points away from catching up, and Snoop Dogg became visibly excited again, yelling.
Changing the Clippers' offense, Davis took the ball from the bottom line in the backcourt and advanced, and encountered Shannon Brown's close defense.
Compared with the veteran Fisher, Brown's speed advantage is fully reflected, and he just hasn't been thrown away.
Moreover, Brown is also a heavy guard, and he does not suffer from physical confrontation, which made Davis quite uncomfortable.
Seeing that Davis was struggling to get rid of it, Su Yang stopped and raised his hand to indicate that he could respond.
The two passed back and forth, Davis successfully brought the ball to the top of the arc, and Su Yang took the opportunity to turn around and rush to the left waist.
Randolph also ran to the top of the arc from the left waist, easily reached with the help of Su Yang's cover, and set up a human wall to block Brown.
Davis immediately pulled the ball to the left and broke through. With a bang, he hit Odom head-on, who was delayed in the grab.
Beep!The referee blew the whistle to block the foul and gave the Clippers a chance to re-kick off the left sideline.
Su Yang immediately gathered his opponents to surround him, quickly communicated sideline tactics, and played the simplest attack of rolling and cutting.
All the teammates nodded their heads to express their understanding. They walked to the free throw line one by one and lined up. Su Yang served out of bounds.
Beep!The referee blows his whistle.
Matthews started first, went from right to left along the free throw line, with the help of triple screens, and went straight to the corner.
Davis followed closely behind, raising his hand at the 45-degree three-point line on the left to receive a pass from Su Yang, posing a three-threat on the spot.
After serving the ball, Su Yang stepped into the field and went straight to the left corner, while Matthews ran along the baseline to the right corner.At the same time, Randolph stepped up from the free throw line, set up a wall to block Shannon Brown, and the space in the middle was opened.
Odom rushed up to block the space to break through towards the top of the arc, and Davis could only wait on the spot.
Randolph immediately turned to the left, blocked Shannon Brown with a second wall, and Davis took the opportunity to start.
Odom flipped his feet and hurried around Randolph, blocking the breakthrough space again.
Davis pulled the ball back wittily, Randolph disassembled and ran to the top of the arc, and Brown was forced to start catching up.
The big situation was formed. Davis did not rush to start, but threw the ball to the top of the arc.
Randolph caught the ball sideways, facing Shannon Brown, and his height and weight advantage was blindingly visible.
Odom followed the zone defense strategy and hurriedly moved laterally to close the siege, but Randolph passed the ball back.
Davis received the ball, stepped forward and swung the pendulum, lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity, and ejected.
Odom was unable to catch up, and Farmar hurriedly blocked from the left corner, and Su Yang got a huge space.
Davis stopped abruptly and raised his hand to pass the ball. Su Yang received the hand and kicked off the ground directly, and flew against Farmar for a three-pointer.
bass!Hollow into the net, the Nets flew, 38 to 21.
"To be honest, I suddenly have a feeling." Reggie Miller said, "I'm afraid the game will be decided in this quarter. The Clippers' preparations before the game seem to consider every change of the Lakers in detail. You may not have noticed. It turns out that when Su Yang made the shot just now, Wesley Matthews also had an open three-pointer in the right corner, so he might predict that the Lakers will shrink..."
Thomas nodded: "I have noticed, as far as I guess, if Farmar returned to the defense just a little faster, Su Yang would probably choose to dribble and break through the basket, and then pass the ball to the low-priced Matthew on the right. Si, that double team is too obvious..."
On the court, the Lakers attack.
Odom dribbled forward, perhaps because the defensive rotation was too fierce before, which led to a rapid loss of physical strength. He was obviously absent-minded when dribbling. After slowly taking the ball across the center line, he threw it towards the right wing with soft strength.
Brown reached out to catch it, but Davis came out sideways and slapped the basketball away.
Odom turned around to catch up, and Davis grabbed the basketball and dashed forward, so fast that there seemed to be afterimages.
Amidst the boos, Davis rushed to the basket, one circled the ball over the top, avoided Farmer's dive, another gliding backhand pull bar, avoided Odom's nail plate block, and finally used his wrist to pick the basket. board and scored two points with difficulty.
"YEEEH..." Davis raised his hands to the ground and cheered, as if returning to the peak years of the Hornets.
Facing a 19-point deficit, Snoop Dogg took the lead in cheering, and the Lakers fans on the scene echoed in unison.
Odom took the ball to the left wing, changed hands directly under the crotch and shook it, making it clear that he was going to be singled out.
This is obviously not the tactical arrangement of the Lakers. Just as Phil Jackson looked puzzled, the referee blew his whistle.
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound. It turned out that it was Jordan's foul, and Jordan had accumulated three times.
Such a situation is good for the Lakers, and Snoop Dogg took the lead in applauding and celebrating.
Van Gundy stomped and roared, quite dissatisfied with the penalty, but he could only replace Jordan for protection.
He turned his head to look at the bench, his eyes wandered between PJ Tucker and Kaman, and stopped on Kaman.
Immediately the whistle sounded at the scene, and the announcer announced that Kaman would come on stage to replace Jordan.
The Lakers also made adjustments, and Gasol came on to replace Odom, who was somewhat delirious.
The Lakers kicked off again from the sideline, the triangle offense started, the basketball passed from the right to the left, and Bynum got the ball at the elbow.
Compared with Jordan's struggling to get a position, Kaman also worked hard to push up, but the strength of his footsteps was for nothing.
Bynum took the ball, started it like a guard, and went straight to the basket.
Matthews was forced to shrink and intercept from the weak side, and stood up early to block the layup space.
But Bynum rushed to the basket, stopped abruptly, turned around and took two steps, raising his hands awkwardly.
Matthews jumped up and tried to block the shot, but Bynum took another step and hit the board with ease.
The basketball rebounded into the net, and at the same time fouled Matthews, and got an additional penalty opportunity.
Su Yang was stunned on the spot, and hurriedly shouted: "Go, go, he goes..."
The referee ignored it, and several Lakers players shouted at the referee: "You are great, you are right..."
Van Gundy almost rushed into the court, the penalty remained unchanged, and Bynum stood at the free throw line.
Amidst the cheers, Bryant replaced Farmar, and Bynum made an additional penalty.
The Lakers caught up to 24 to 40, which can be regarded as clinging to the score and continuing to maintain the situation.
Easy side Clippers attack, Davis brought the ball to the top of the arc, and the Lakers put up a 32-zone defensive formation.
Su Yang went up to catch the ball, made a hand-to-hand cooperation, and led Kobe to run to the left.
At the same time, Matthews and Randolph retreated to the bottom corners on both sides, forcibly tearing apart the Lakers defense lineup.
Su Yang ran to the bottom corner on the left and set up a human wall to block Gasol, but turned around and ran back to the right after being hit, while Kaman and Matthews jointly set up a wall at the short corner and waist on the right, Like an elevator door, Su Yang passed through it.
Kobe couldn't catch up, and Bynum was forced to go around and change defenses, chasing Su Yang to the right wing.
At this point, the Lakers' defensive formation was completely disrupted, and Davis dribbled the ball to the left.
The Lakers' defensive center of gravity moved to the left, and Davis passed the ball to Su Yang on the right.
Facing the big Bynum, Su Yang got rid of it with a feint, and rushed to the paint area in three consecutive steps.
Kobe intercepted head-on, Su Yang threw the ball high into the air, but regretted it instantly.
"This is Kaman, not Jordan, he probably won't be able to jump..."
While thinking about it, Kaman jumped up and tried to catch the ball, passing the basketball.
Kobe grabbed the rebound, turned around and ran forward, facing Su Yang's delay, he made a long pass.
Shannon Brown received the ball at the top of the front arc, hit the ground and then divided Artest ahead of the left side, and the basketball rose into the air.
Boom!The three-pointer hit the circle and entered the net. The Lakers chased 27 to 40, and the cheers in the arena were like thunder.
Marvin exclaimed: "Is this the tenacity of the defending champion? Too tenacious!"
Miller shook his head: "No, this is a low-level mistake made by the Clippers themselves, and the Lakers' defense has been cracked."
Thomas nodded: "Besides, the Clippers still have a lot of bad calls, if not..."
