NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers
Chapter 127 Recovery
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Cavaliers sent the baseline ball.
Long Rui made a bold decision to hand over the ball directly to Curry, letting him find his state as soon as possible.
And he ran to play off the ball again, but this time, the Lakers' defensive strategy has changed.
'Zen Master' Phil Jackson didn't use the strategy of double-teaming to defend Long Rui, but returned to one-on-one marking, and only kept one person to help defend at any time.
Making such an adjustment is also a fear of the situation at the beginning of the second quarter. I am afraid that the main force of the Cavaliers will find their form on the offensive end.
However, this allowed Long Rui to see an opportunity. As long as he was not limited by the double-teaming of two defensive players, he would have the opportunity to use his running position to create offensive opportunities.
Curry held the ball outside the three-point line, constantly observing the running positions of his teammates.
Long Rui frequently interspersed inside, trying to disrupt the Lakers' defense as much as possible.
But Kobe also showed the most serious defensive attitude, followed Long Rui's footsteps almost every step of the way, and tried his best to prevent him from receiving the ball comfortably.
At this moment, Yi Jianlian mentioned the position of the line, opening up space for the Lakers inside.
He has an excellent mid-range and long-range shooting, so Gasol dare not ignore it.
Long Rui passed the inside line from the bottom corner on the left and came to a 45-degree angle on the right wing.
Just when Kobe thought he was going to settle in this position, Long Rui suddenly turned back and rushed to the inside again.
Seeing this, Kobe also hurriedly chased after him, but at this moment, he directly bumped into Alonzo-ki, and could only watch helplessly as Long Rui rushed into the inside line.
On the other side, Bynum wanted to defend, but was stuck by Varejao.
Curry threw the ball from the outside line, while Long Rui jumped, and dunked the ball into the basket like holding the moon with one arm!
The score returned to the same starting line again!
"Hey! Unexpectedly, on the first attack in the second half, the Cavaliers played a perfect coordination!"
"Long Rui found an opportunity after several interspersed, and Curry passed the ball very well."
"This cooperation seems simple, but it is very delicate."
"First of all, Yi Jianlian's positioning. He moved up the line, creating an illusion that the opponent wanted to shoot, or wanted to set Curry as a pick-and-roll."
"Pau Gasol had to follow up to defend. At this time, Long Rui ran back again and used his teammates to block Kobe. Then he could unscrupulously go inside and complete the attack."
"This kind of offensive thinking is really admirable."
"From this attack, we can see the strength of the Cavaliers!"
"It's not because of the outstanding individual performances of Long Rui, Curry and Yi Jianlian that they won more than a dozen consecutive victories."
"They are really able to play a tacit cooperation on the court."
"For this attack, the timing must be very precise. If you slow down a little bit and let Bynum bypass Varejao and return to the right, then the attack will be resolved immediately."
In the CV-5 live broadcast room, Zhang Weiping watched the Cavaliers' first attack in the second half and made a very professional comment.
Looking back, the Lakers' offense.
Kobe was in charge of the ball, and he also no longer sought individual singles, but played a pick-and-roll with Gasol.
In addition to the triangle offensive tactics, the Lakers play the most and the safest offense is the pick-and-roll that these two have only seen.
Like Yi Jianlian, Gasol also has a good mid-range and long-range shooting.
Therefore, when he and Kobe pick and roll form a dislocation, both of them may get a good offensive opportunity.
Sure enough, when the two picked and rolled, Kobe faced Yi Jianlian directly.
Yi Jianlian is not Long Rui. It will be very difficult to defend outside players like Kobe.
Kobe didn't feel the slightest bit, and directly broke through Yi Jianlian's defense line in one step.
Long Rui, who was blocked by Gasol, knew that Yi Jianlian couldn't defend Kobe, so he immediately chased after him.
Just when everyone thought Kobe was going to make a shot, he suddenly passed the ball behind his head and threw the ball to Gasol on the outside.
After the latter received the ball, there was no one two meters in front of him!
He glanced at the basket for a while, and then he threw the ball.
The ball hit the edge of the rim, but fortunately bounced into the rim!
This season, Gasol's three-point shooting rate reached 33.3%, which is not the outside shooting rate of a qualified shooter.
But for an inside player, this shooting rate is already good, and he is even one percentage point higher than Kobe's three-point shooting rate.
Of course, this is also the reason why Kobe took more shots than him.
Next, it was Long Rui again, who once again used the cover of his teammates to find an opportunity and sent the ball into the basket.
This has become his most consistent way of scoring off the ball.
Even the 'Black Mamba' Kobe couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't keep up with Long Rui after being blocked.
At this stage, the two teams have achieved the ultimate in the operation of the team, and almost no one can limit the opponent.
The offensive state of the main players of the Cavaliers finally recovered at this moment.
What Phil Jackson feared happened.
In the first quarter, they did a good job of restricting the Cavaliers, but now they are unstoppable.
The Lakers have done enough on the court, but the resilience of this Cavaliers far exceeds their imagination.
Halfway through the third quarter, the game entered the official timeout.
After the players on both sides returned to the field, the camera gave Kobe a close-up.
At this moment, Kobe supported his knees with his hands, panting heavily, and the sweat on his head kept slipping from his cheeks, but his eyes were still full of fighting spirit.
Long Rui's continuous running on the court put a lot of defensive pressure on Kobe, and he had to follow Long Rui to run, otherwise he would find opportunities to attack.
The Lakers' substitute players also hurriedly handed Kobe a towel.
"Kobe, do you want to change someone to defend Long Rui?"
Phil Jackson also asked aloud.
He didn't want Kobe's physical strength to be consumed too much on the defensive end, after all, Kobe was no longer young.
'Zen Master' knew Kobe, so he wanted Kobe to put more energy into the offense.
However, Kobe shook his head directly: "No!"
"I have to defend Long Rui personally. In the team, only I have faced him the most times, and I am the only one who knows him best."
The meaning of these words is already obvious. In other words, Kobe does not think that other than him, there are other players on the team who can limit Long Rui.
In this regard, his teammates also chose to acquiesce. Although Kobe's words are not very pleasant, what he said is the truth.
Let me ask the other outside players of the Lakers, who dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he can restrain Long Rui?
Long Rui made a bold decision to hand over the ball directly to Curry, letting him find his state as soon as possible.
And he ran to play off the ball again, but this time, the Lakers' defensive strategy has changed.
'Zen Master' Phil Jackson didn't use the strategy of double-teaming to defend Long Rui, but returned to one-on-one marking, and only kept one person to help defend at any time.
