Chapter 781 The Plan Does Not Change Fast

The game at this time.

The Mavericks' opening effect is good, not only the offensive cooperation, but also the defense against Kobe, so that Kobe didn't take a shot at all, let alone score without a shot, and this kind of start makes people who pay attention to this game think Different, Li Shengli is the most anxious.

Although it was right to dunk the Mavericks four balls in a row, but then the problem came. The Mavericks coach Nelson ran to the sidelines and yelled.

"Sean, Dirk, don't step on the horse and go out together, leave one around to defend!"

"Finley, hurry up and follow, as long as he splits the ball, he will scatter for me immediately!"

Old Nelson understands very well that neither Bradley nor Nowitzki can stop Li Shengli if it is a purely single-handed defense, but if it is just a short-term defense around the front and cutting off Kobe's pass, one person is almost enough. After all, this time is very short, and the Mavericks' defense does not leave much time for Kobe to score.

As for whether Li Shengli will be forced to attack in person, extinguishing the last hope of winning?

Old Nelson is not afraid of this. He is sure that Kobe will hold the ball most of the time, because if Kobe does not hold the ball first, the Lakers will not be able to judge their defensive attitude towards Kobe. More importantly, Kobe needs the performance of other teammates. Show a good touch and use the ball to divide their defensive power.

……

The Mavericks should have discussed the details of the game before the game. After the old Nelson shouted, the Mavericks executed very well. When Kobe ran around the screen and ran to the edge of the penalty area on the side of Li Shengli, Nowitzki directly rushed Go out, cooperate with Finley to block back and forth, and Bradley immediately goes around to defend Li Shengli.

"Dirk, you go!" Bradley, who turned his back to Li Shengli, stared at Kobe's movements and said, but Kobe failed to make a smooth shot and gave the ball to Artest on the same side. It stabilized outside.

"Nice, they quit!"

"Go ahead, keep defending, block them both!"

Seeing that the Mavericks' defense was uncharacteristically aggressive, after Kobe tried again to get double-teamed, this time the pass was faster, and it was passed directly to Fisher, who crossed the penalty area and cut to the bottom corner, and Fisher completed it. He took a long-range shot, stumbled and finally fell into the basket.

……

The next few attacks.

The three backcourt musketeers arranged by the old Nelson, with crazy coordination, only fired near the middle distance. Under the pressure of the last stand, the touch was very good. He scored 5 times in 4 consecutive attacks, and even the defensive end was also in line with the old Nelson. As expected, the Lakers couldn't play the fast break effect at all.

Kobe was restricted on the outside, and only one person was sent inside to circle around Li Shengli.

The old Nelson selectively gave up the other three positions of the Lakers, just trying to make up for the defensive loopholes after the Kobe score, but to his surprise, the offense of Fisher and Artest couldn't open the situation, and there was only one old Green He has become the main scoring force of the Lakers, but Green's efficiency can't catch up with today's desperate Mavericks.

Phil Jackson called a timeout in the middle to no avail.

Until the end of the first quarter, Kobe only scored 4 points, Li Shengli scored 12 points, the two did not replace, Fisher and Artest totaled 4 points, and replaced Tyronn Lue and Fox in the middle, but only 3 points , on the contrary, Green became the target of the Mavericks' initiative to miss defense, and successfully scored 13 points.

The Lakers totaled 36 points in the first quarter.

The Mavericks scored 38 points in the first quarter. Except for Bradley, the other positions scored very evenly. Finley and Nowitzki both scored 10 points, while Strickland and Nash scored 7 points and 8 points respectively. point.

……

"No way, I can't close the point difference by playing like this." Kobe was a little anxious. He spent 25% or more of the time, but only completed 51% of the task progress in the 7.8 points, and the result of not closing the point difference was ... He will be targeted infinitely, and there is no way to make the Mavericks jealous through the efficient shots of his teammates as expected, thereby dividing the defensive force.

"Damn, something went wrong!" Li Shengli patted Kobe on the shoulder, signaling to stabilize his mind.

The plan can't keep up with the changes!

Li Shengli didn't expect the Mavericks to be in such a good state. On the contrary, his teammates are not good enough. The reason why the Lakers can catch up with the high score of 38:36 in the first quarter is that He and Green's score accounted for a large proportion!

"Then what should I do now? The previous idea is completely useless. Now... I can't force myself to play, and I can't split the ball. I have no chance to play like this. I have already played a quarter, and I have no time." Back to On the bench, Kobe became more and more impatient, and Phil Jackson didn't expect the worst situation in the plan to appear today.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Jackson called to all the players.

In fact, it is no longer the rhythm that everyone expected.

Although conventional tactics can be played casually, as long as Li Shengli takes the ball first and attacks first, he can basically determine the advantage in one quarter, but the problem is that everyone wants Kobe to score while winning, but Kobe has to try to attack with the ball and test the Mavericks' defensive wind direction.

Now... give up the previous ideas, and give up the established tactics!

Phil Jackson's thoughts changed sharply, and he made a decision, which was terrifyingly decisive, and he directly shared his thoughts with Li Shengli and Kobe.

"Kobe, attack directly, don't worry about anything."

"Li, it's up to you whether you can help Kobe this time!"

"Now go up and play as I said, but let me declare in advance... I will only give time to the last quarter. If it doesn't work, if there is no improvement, then don't think about the scoring champion in the second half. After all, winning the game and scoring champion, We are guaranteed to achieve one of these goals, obviously the former is easier."

……

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, he detailed the requirements for the second quarter again, and there was not much time for a timeout. Kobe felt a little uncomfortable before going on the court. Li Shengli hugged him and said, "Don't panic, I'm here!"

"Don't panic, I just think it's a little too difficult."

"Didn't you agree to leave this quarter to me? Just wait!" Li Shengli pushed Kobe, and the two played together for the second quarter, and in the second quarter... because of the Mavericks' key defense in the first quarter Green, who was able to play, was still there, and Artest, who was the main defender of Finley, was also there. Only Crotty replaced Fisher and was responsible for Artest's slow speed and unable to prevent the opponent's pick-and-roll errors.

The first attack in the second quarter was the Lakers.

Crotty doesn't need to remind, the ball must be passed to Kobe, and after Kobe got the ball and broke into the inside line under Green's high pick-and-roll, Nowitzki stepped forward and rushed up, Finley chased from behind, Stein Rirank also rushed over from the side.

"He's going to pass the ball!"

"Back, Finley, block behind him!"

The three people who made Kobe's dumplings yelled a few words, which made Kobe's face turn cold. Before the three of them were in place, they turned the ball-sharing action in the first quarter into a forced fadeaway jumper, while Finley, Nowitzki , Strickland was taken aback for a moment.

"Dirk, come back!" Bradley was a little panicked, because if Kobe missed, he had to face Li Shengli directly, but the problem was that Nowitzki needed time to react. The first shot has already struck iron and produced rebounds.

"Come back? Remember to be earlier next time!" Li Shengli shouted angrily.

In fact, after Kobe took the shot, he activated the card position and squeezed to the basket. Bradley didn't even have the ability to compete with the first-line crane tail center in the card position, and was directly picked up by Li Shengli for the rebound.

Just in this short moment, Nowitzki has turned his body, but Kobe has already run into the penalty area under the cover of his teammates, received a pass from Li Shengli and made a second shot, this time it was a hit.
