MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 991 991. The fantasy backcourt of the Lakers
Chapter 991 991. The Lakers' fantasy backcourt
The Lakers changed their strategy and style of play tonight. They rushed to grab rebounds. The core purpose was not to prevent Liu Xiu from taking rebounds, but to restrict Liu Xiu from grabbing rebounds and counterattacking.
But they didn't expect that the Trail Blazers had already started to make adjustments to this point. After Liu Xiu averaged a triple-double per game, Maurice Cheeks no longer insisted on letting Liu Xiu grab rebounds.
The passing ability of Millsap, McDyess, and Birdman is a bit urgent. They are on the court, and they can block Liu Xiu whenever they can.
The All-Star Twin Towers are on the court, and they can protect the board by themselves, and strengthen the ball after grabbing the rebound.
This is a big difference from how the Blazers have played for a long time.
Such a tactical change invalidated the defensive preparations made by the Lakers.
Zen Master’s response is quick and relatively simple—press the rhythm, reduce the number of offensive and defensive rounds, and increase the consumption of confrontation.
The offensive team of the Lakers didn't play very well tonight, it just depends on the feel.
11 of 19 shots in a single quarter, the Lakers felt hot.
Kobe made 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter plus 1 of 1 free throws and scored 9 points.
Deron made 3 of 5 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and scored 8 points.
Others shot 4 of 9 shots.
In normal times, this shooting performance is not uncommon for the Lakers. After all, they are the top five scoring teams per game. 110+ in a single game is normal. Very comfortable with this rhythm.
That is suitable for playoffs!
In the second quarter, the defensive strategy of the Lakers began to take effect. The state of Randolph and Kwame Brown began to decline. The combination of Birdman and Millsap had more than enough defensive impact but lacked experience and ability. The offensive duo could only add to the cake. Without Randolph's singles ability, Kwame Brown's support and mid-range shot...
Liu Xiu performed very well in the second quarter. He made 5 of 9 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points in a single quarter, but the team scored 24 points... The Lakers continued their performance in the first quarter. 5 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the quarter. Deron didn't get any assists, but was fed by Kobe!
Deron made 5 of 8 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, 14 points in a single quarter!
27 to 24, the Lakers had a 3-point advantage in the second quarter!
Kobe and Deron switched roles, Liu Xiu, who was the opponent, felt something!
These two secretly came up with such a style of play, and they didn't show it until the playoffs!
When did Deron in the third grade have such a comprehensive shooting ability, excellent response awareness and skills... What a pity.
In recent years, Deron has definitely suffered by Kobe's side.
It is conceivable that Deron was scolded many times during training, "Look at the warden..."
Kobe and Deron had a taste of the "two combo guards swapping roles" style of play. They found many problems to be solved, but it was enough to deal with the current Trail Blazers.
In the third quarter, the two continued to fire!
As expected by the two, the Trail Blazers couldn't defend against it, and the coach could think of a way, but he just couldn't defend against it, and couldn't implement it if there was a way.
The two also felt very good. Kobe had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, and Deron had 14 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. Together, the two led the Lakers to 33 points in a single quarter!
There are also adjustments on the Trail Blazers side-close the door and let the warden go!
Liu Xiu made 6 of 9 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 16 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to 28 points in a single quarter. The handicap was completely widened!
After three quarters, the Lakers lead the Trail Blazers by 8 points 87 to 79!
The offense played so well in the third quarter, and the defensive execution effect was also good. The point difference is only so small. The Lakers are also surprised...not everyone is surprised.
In Kobe's view, this is normal, this is the warden!
However, no matter how strong an individual is, it cannot match the overall strength of the opponent.
This is what Kobe learned when leading the team alone in the past few years, so he tried his best to train Deron, gave up the ball and actively communicated with the management. After David West joined, he actively communicated with the other party. Give up part of the right to shoot...
At the end of the quarter, the Lakers team played offensively. Kobe made 2 of 4 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws to get 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block, Deron 3 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, Fisher 5 points, David David West scored 5 points, Lamar Odom scored 4 points and 6 rebounds, and Wang Zhizhi scored 6 points... The Lakers scored 29 points in a single quarter!
For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu made 6 of 11 shots in the final quarter, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 18 points in a single quarter, but the team only had 28 points in a single quarter.
Kobe scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Deron scored 39 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal.
The two teamed up to defeat Liu Xiu who scored 56 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block!
116 to 107, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers and evened the regular season match between the two teams!
In addition to the three of them, there were other players who performed well in this game.
Kwame Brown 4 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Randolph 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, Ray Allen 17 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Blake 12 points and 5 assists...
For the Lakers, Wang Zhizhi had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, David West had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Lamar Odom had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists...
…
Kobe and Deron scored 69 points and 18 rebounds to lead the team to defeat the Trail Blazers. This staggering performance reminds people of Liu Xiu and Ray Allen, who just started working together. They often played such crazy games that year. Performance.
Liu Xiu's 56 points in a single game also showed his strength. This is his 18th 40+ and 5th 50+ this season.
In this game, he felt the difference in strength, which was quite obvious.
The first two victories did have an element of luck, and those two games felt so good.
Tonight, the overall feeling of the team is not bad, but it is not good, and the problem is highlighted.
Also, the Lakers players, Kobe, Deron, David West, Odom, Wang Zhizhi, are suitable for the playoffs!
Wang Zhizhi's slow-paced style of play is especially suitable even in the playoffs. He can play from the low post, shoot and pass from the top arc, and the rhythm is very good.
What makes Liu Xiu feel the most headache is the Lakers' "Dream Chaser" backcourt... The nickname given by the media is much better than the "Supoer" backcourt that he and Ray Allen went to. .
But at least the task is completed.
"Offensive Triangle:
Kobe Bryant's total score: 38 points + 34 points + 33 points + 30 points = 135 points, the total score of the host: 38 points + 25 points + 20 points + 56 points = 139 points, goal 1 has been completed.

Congratulations to the host for getting rewards: 9000 healing value, 1 talent fragment. "
In the last dozen or so seconds of the last quarter, the point difference could not be caught up, but Liu Xiu still slumped and rushed inside and scored a layup. Just because the total score of goal 2 was still 1 point behind, he dared to play in garbage time. one time…
