Pick Westbrook

Chapter 82 What a luxury

With Li Lai's acquiescence, Westbrook turned into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and almost singled out Kobe for every ball.

Artest, Yi Jianlian and the others also saw what this kid wanted to do, so they took the initiative to go to the basket to fight for rebounds with Gasol and Bynum.

Yi Jianlian was beaten up under the basket until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Artest is also uncomfortable. In order to grab rebounds, he has knocked down both Gasol and Bynum once, and has already paid two fouls.

Swish!
Westbrook, who failed consecutive breakthroughs, chose to shoot from outside the three-point line and finally hit.

After scoring the goal, he took a bully step and turned his head, yelling at Kobe.

"You only have this little ability, I still score on your head."

Looking at the extremely arrogant Westbrook, Kobe shook his head in a speechless and funny way.

"Boy, you have been defended by me as 6 in 1, and you are still so arrogant?"

This scene also reminded Kobe Bryant of the scene where he used to stay outside the three-point line continuously. At that time, he was the same as the kid in front of him.

"Always look like you are not afraid of anything."

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks trailed by a full 20 points at 32:12.

The outside line was overwhelmed by Kobe alone, and the inside line was completely abused by the Lakers Twin Towers. The Bucks really have no chance of winning on the court.

Barkley was already laughing, Kenny Smith looked at the other's butt with a look of lovelessness, and heaved a long sigh.

Phil Jackson, the Zen master sitting on the Lakers coach's bench, chewed gum and frowned slightly.

He doesn't believe that a team that can create an offensive whirlwind in the league only has this strength, and he doesn't believe that the Bucks can force the Spurs to use the strongest lineup at the last minute and regret losing the game. heat.

"That old man Popovich helped the league find the Bucks' weaknesses, but the Lakers don't have a player like Duncan."

"So it should be awkward for them to defend the Bucks' outside single block and double block."

"But right now, it looks like the Bucks are in Westbrook's trance."

The second game.

The Bucks are led by Dragic, plus a pure bench lineup of Andre Ingram, Marshall, Crohill and Elson.

Except for Elson, all other players in this lineup have three-point shooting ability.

"The Bucks are going to play their rogue tactics again!" Barkley said with a look of fear.

Kenny Smith was very curious about what tactics would make Barkley so afraid, so he asked curiously: "What tactics are the Bucks playing on the court now?"

Barkley exhaled and said, "A few random shooting tactics."

Forehead.
Kenny Smith grinned.

Just by hearing the name, you can know how shameless this tactic is.

on the field.

Dragic used Elson to break through the penalty area, and the Lakers Farmar and Shannon Brown immediately shrunk to the basket.

As a result, Andre Ingram was empty on the outside.

Swish!
The three-pointer was hit steadily.

In the next round, Dragic repeated his old trick, and this time the vacant spot appeared on Crosher.

Veteran Croshire's anti-aircraft gun hit again.

"This is a bit too accurate." Barkley looked embarrassed.

It's not that the Bucks haven't used this tactic in previous games, but the shooting percentage at that time was not so terrifying, so it didn't attract most people's attention.

But judging from tonight's game, the Bucks may have a tendency to run wild outside the three-point line.

"It seems that Reggie Miller's joining as the Bucks' shooting trainer has indeed greatly helped their shooting."

Phil Jackson rose from the bench for the first time.

Assistant coach Frank Hamblen next to him looked surprised.

Because Phil Jackson suffers from a back injury, he seldom stands during the game, and even when he is called to timeout to arrange tactics, he mostly sits.

"The picture like this can only show that there have been some changes in the game on the field, and there are still big changes."

Frank Hamblen said to himself.

The moment Phil Jackson just stood up, Dragic made a fake and real shot on the court and sent another three-pointer.

短短5分钟之内，雄鹿队三分球8投6中，以一波无与伦比的22:12的进攻波打得湖人队替补席摸不着东南西北。

Both Farmer and Shannon Brown were thrown into the ring.

What kind of offensive firepower is needed to launch such an aggressive attack?

Mayfair Jackson blew his whistle and called a timeout urgently.

He never expected that the Bucks could suddenly play such an efficient offense, but it was still led by a substitute lineup.

"It seems that the second offensive team in the league really lives up to its reputation."

Mayfair Jackson returned to the starting lineup and told the players to always be careful of the Bucks' outside three-pointers.

With the two absolute advantages of Gasol and Bynum, it is impossible for the Bucks to gain an advantage in the penalty area even if they fight hard.

But the situation on the court surprised Phil Jackson, because the Bucks did not continue to focus on the three-pointers they are good at.

When Westbrook saw Kobe's figure, his blood went up, and he charged towards him one after another.

And the rest of the Bucks actually all supported Westbrook in being so messy, giving up the offensive role, and all participated in opening up space and grabbing rebounds.

But how could Westbrook be Kobe's opponent.

Kobe hit back from the free throw line, switching his left and right feet at the same time.

In the eyes of most fans, this seems to be an offensive move of walking, but in fact it is a sneaky change of footsteps the moment it hits the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Kobe changed the pivot foot, from the left foot to the right foot, and used a Soma step the moment the basketball landed, then turned right and took off and fell back for a jumper.

"This step is beautiful!"

Li Lai couldn't help but applaud.

With continuous footwork and technical movements, Kobe moved directly from the free throw line to the baseline, and also opened up a distance of nearly two bodies from Westbrook.

And this time, the backward shot was almost completed at a negative angle on the same side of the basket.

Swish!
The basketball hits steadily.

Tyronn Lue said in amazement: "This is Kobe!"

"Most NBA players use speed or strength to gain space, but he likes to use technology."

"So even if the future Kobe is 38 years old, I still believe that he can score 60 points on the court!"

Just a few rounds.

The Bucks were already close to the point difference with the Lakers, but they were once again opened by Kobe alone.

Li Lai knew that this was not the strongest state of the Lakers.

Kobe was beaten by Westbrook to his heart's content, so he almost took control of all the offenses.

"The Lakers' strongest style of play should be the linkage between Kobe and Gasol, but it's a pity that we don't see many rounds like this."

The third quarter of the game.

The Bucks' bench once again caused some trouble for the Lakers. Phil Jackson was distracted by Dragic's breakthrough and pass.

In his memory, there is also the shadow of a player of the same type, that is, the son of the wind in Phoenix.

"Even if such a rookie is not good, he should be able to be a starter in a team and cultivate well. It is really a luxury to be used by your Bucks as a substitute."
