Chapter 164

Qin Ming led his bench team to a great victory. For the Lakers, because LeBron James has not been brought up yet, and Rajon Rondo is alone, Howard has become Qin Ming's breakthrough point.

Qin Ming has repeatedly made great achievements in the pick-and-roll with Zubac, facing Rajon Rondo's hesitation and Howard's defense.

For example, in this round, Qin Ming and Zubac were on the pick-and-roll. Howard had already been hit a lot, so he didn't want to go up to defend the ball, but Rajon Rondo always followed Carlisle's tactics. If Qin Ming can defeat the Lakers with this point, then they have no way to prevent the Clippers from winning.

So Rajon Rondo didn't really want to let Qin Ming get a chance to open a three-pointer, because as a player, Qin Ming's three-point threat was much greater than his breakthrough threat.

Such a small player, if you let him break through, he will most likely just pass the ball.

But Howard doesn't think so.

Howard felt that he had gone up to defend so many times, but Qin Ming was always able to thrive in the paint. This person is not Stephen Curry, nor is he a well-known shooter on the three-point list. Why is he worthy of being treated like this.

And if he doesn't have himself in the inside line, then there is no huge barrier. Qin Ming can get whatever he wants in the inside line.

So in this round, Howard didn't choose to go up and grab, but let Rajon Rondo chase Qin Ming, and then help defend according to the situation.

This ball will make Rajon Rondo impossible.

Because he also followed Zubac's pick-and-roll and retreated to the back, the two of them just watched Qin Ming get a huge opening outside the three-point line.

Qin Ming made a three-pointer without hesitation.

After a long season, his shooting skills have been honed to perfection. The major teams have made their own choices and defenses, and these tactics that made Qin Ming fail have been overcome one by one by him.

This is why Kobe is optimistic about Qin Ming.

They are all equally paranoid.

Kobe lost his three three-pointers in that playoffs, and it was a life-and-death battle that could help the team reach the final round. He still dared to shoot and still didn't believe in evil.

He lost that time, so he doesn't want to lose any more.

The same is true for Qin Ming.

Once he was guarded, and once he was restricted, he would keep echoing this matter in his mind, and he would not let it go until he found a way to deal with it in his mind.

Then, I will continue to practice in the arena, and I will continue to hone my skills until I become a better player.

And these hardships that Qin Ming had overcome, now placed on his face, it is easy to come by.

"Qin Ming shot a three-pointer directly from the perimeter! Didn't Rajon Rondo not defend the ball? Did Howard also choose to retreat? This is Qin Ming, a player with a shooting percentage of more than 50.00% this season. If you let him shoot like this, isn't it just giving him points?"

"The Lakers may not have communicated well with this ball, but no matter what, Qin Ming made the three-pointer!"

"Qin Ming hit a three-pointer! He once again accepted the opponent's postgraduate entrance examination, and once again gave the opponent a hard blow!"

"It's too simple."

Here, the Lakers finally got LeBron James.

At this point they were already fourteen points behind.

On the Clippers side, they also took Paul George and Leonard.

"The Clippers are going to lock up your LeBron James."

The Lakers once again had LeBron James running the offense.

The latter held the ball and dribbled the ball twice in a row to mobilize Paul George's defensive focus. He didn't intend to go to Qin Ming, who was already exhausted in singles, because the Clippers' rotation was fast and the double-team came in very timely.

At this time, Howard came up to pick and roll.

Zubac quickly switched defenses, wanting to delay LeBron James' first pass route and then switch back, but LeBron James faced Zubac's three-pointer with a direct step back without any hesitation.

"LeBron James made a three-pointer directly! This ball Zubac didn't go up."

"If the ball needs to be switched, why not go up?"

LeBron James hit a three-pointer again. He clenched his fist with one hand and led the team to bite the score.

When Qin Ming comes back to organize the offense, he still chooses to pick and roll with Zubac on the line. Leonard and Paul George counter-run each other on the bottom line. Once there is a chance, Qin Ming can pass it out, and at this time, he can also find opportunities for singles.

After Zubac's pick-and-roll, Howard came up. Qin Ming dribbled the ball from his crotch and quickly changed his direction to pass Howard, and went straight to the penalty area.

At this time, Paul George once again used Morris' cover to cut to the inside. At this time, Howard was chasing Qin Ming behind, and Kuzma had to run inside to help defend.

Qin Ming went inside and caused a foul.

Qin Ming sent a very regular baseline ball, which was directly thrown to Paul George on the outside. The latter blocked Danny Green to prevent the opponent from interfering with his catch. After receiving the ball, Paul George's eyes wandered, and he found the air-cut Leonard. The latter was bypassing Morris' pick-and-roll.

Kuzma and James didn't communicate well on this ball, and Leonard's air cut was very fast, James dropped half a body, and Paul George's pass came over.

The ball led the way, Leonard crossed and scored a layup after receiving the ball, Anthony Davis did not dare to come up to help defend.

LeBron James advanced with the ball, handed it to the uplifted Danny Green, and then ran towards the baseline.

This is a three-point tactic, with LeBron James and Kuzma mobilizing Paul George. They will use the pick-and-roll of Hardaway and Anthony Davis to run from the two bottom corners to 45 degrees.

But the Clippers switched defenses and rotations very quickly, and their explanations were very clear, so the ball failed to run out of the open space, and Danny Green did not pass it out.

With eight seconds left on the offensive clock, LeBron James stepped up and received a pass from Danny Green and signaled himself not to pick and roll and let the opponent go down.

He knew that if he picked and rolled at the last moment, the Clippers players would definitely come up to double-team him. There was not much time to attack, and if he was delayed like this, he would definitely have to violate the 24-second rule.

LeBron James singled Paul George from the outside. The two men entangled and tore for two full games. Fans will often see such scenes.

LeBron James still used his crotch dribble to mobilize Paul George's center of gravity. Paul George defended very wide and prevented him from shooting.

LeBron James made a strong three-pointer.

Missed a hit.
