You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 452

The starting lineup selected by the Lakers can be said to be their current strongest lineup.

Inside is Bynum, Odom partner.

The outside line is composed of Fisher Kobe and Wechat.

At the beginning of the game, they exposed their offensive intentions, but it was not a big problem.Because it was Fisher who was exposed and the ball was in his hands.He can do whatever he wants.

The Lakers pitted Rajon Rondo against Fisher.

Rondo's defensive ability is obvious to all. Fisher collected the ball and made a few shot fakes to trick him.

Rondo was not easily fooled, he opened his hands seriously and patiently, and stuck close.

Fisher is known for his stability, but he also had a lot of willful moments. Sometimes, he would suddenly throw a few balls against the defense. As for the purpose, no one can tell.

Swish!
"Are you explaining to him that your shots can't be emptied like his?" Wei Xia asked Fisher when he returned to the defense.

Fisher's answer was no, "He didn't give me a seat."

"Is it possible that he doesn't believe that you will choose to shoot at that time, so the intensity of personal defense is not very strong?"

Wei Xia's question could not be answered.

The Celtics' offense has been wide open from the start.

Rondo suffered from insufficient shooting ability and it was difficult to create opportunities. The Celtics played Garnett's high-position ball-holding tactics.

Ray Allen's running caused problems for Bryant.

He not only runs by himself, but also drives others to run.

Kendrick Perkins followed faithfully behind him, and suddenly, like a mountain of indecision, he stopped.

He implemented the pick-and-roll tactics and kept Kobe a few meters away.

Bryant insisted on chasing, Bynum made a mistake.

It seems that no one has told him that Kobe is the kind of person who never gives up that the famous Japanese prodigal son said.Well, he didn't need someone to tell him such an obvious thing, but he just didn't know, so he saw Ray Allen running to the top of the key to catch and shoot.He took the initiative to come to the outside line, which is very risky, because he is too big, and defending Allen needs a guard.

After joining the Boston Celtics, Allen's scoring average in the NBA dropped dramatically last season with the Sonics, but that doesn't mean he can't average 20+ per game.It's just that in the Celtics, he doesn't need to average 20+ per game.

His running position is still tricky.

His offense can bring pressure at any time.

Bynum and Kobe went to him at the same time, who could care about Perkins?Falling open, the opportunity to attack has come, Jesus appeared, the ball is in his hands, and only a slam dunk is needed.

2 is better than 2
"I'm very happy that we saw the team from the Celtics game again!" Tom Heinsohn said excitedly, "This feeling has been gone for a long time!"

The Lakers, lacking an axis, have never been able to build a mature and rigorous system like the two generations of the Bulls dynasty.

At the beginning of the season, Wei Xia showed the same potential, but he is not a pure point guard, he wants to return the ball to Fisher.

The Lakers have reason to believe that Wei Xia's organizational skills have not been properly utilized.

Odom runs up, ready to get the ball.

The Lakers are changing, and so is Odom's role.

When Wei Xia first joined the team, Odom was the absolute second master and one of the builders of the core triangle offensive system.Only when both he and Kobe play well, the Lakers have more than a [-]% chance of winning, otherwise they can only rely on Kobe's superb offensive performance.

Two seasons have passed, the Lakers have come and gone, and the lineup has changed rapidly.Wecha has become the second most important player in the team. Fisher's return will take away most of the ball. In addition, Kobe needs the ball to attack, so Odom encountered problems.

Because of limited opportunities, he has far less control over the ball than in the previous two seasons.

The coaching staff even considered letting him play the sixth man.

At this moment, Odom wants to play tricks and raise the morale of the whole team.

Just as he can never continue to focus on a quarter of defense, his fancy passing is beautiful and the frequency of turnovers is also very high.

This round, he made a mistake.

The Celtics counterattacked, Wei Xia retreated alone, one-on-two.

Rondo confronted Wei Xia rationally, but did not attack Wei Xia for his own selfish desire. He calmly judged the situation and was almost certain: the probability of being blocked by a strong frontal attack on Wei Xia's defense reached more than 70%.

His pass to Pierce on the perimeter.

Pierce received a pass and made a three-pointer. Although it was absolutely open, he missed it.

Sometimes if the opening is too large, it is also an invisible test for the players. Because the opportunity is too good, it seems unforgivable to miss the shot.

Wei Xia has never been behind the scenes.

Rondo has been fixed since Pierce made a three-pointer.

He concluded that this three-pointer was too short!

And, it's bound to come off in a way that rubs against the front edge of the rim.

In this way, you don't have to worry about long-distance rebounds anymore. As long as you keep the one-acre three-point field under the basket, you can control the defensive rebounds.

Why does he know so well?
nonsense!There's probably no one on the planet who knows more about popping three-pointers than he does.

Rumors: Due to the intensity of Wish's three-point training, and the more he shoots, the worse his temper, and the tendency to deliberately hit the basket, so the Toyota Center has to change the basket every month.

It is impossible to verify whether the rumors are true or not, but it is true that Wei Xia is often frustrated by three-pointers who are difficult to stabilize during training.

It was the countless three-pointers that made him feel instinctively sensitive to those three-pointers that could not be hit during the game.

That's the secret to becoming the king of offensive rebounds.

As long as you miss enough three-pointers, you can predict the position of long rebounds in advance in front of everyone.

In fact, Wei Xia was not the only one who predicted the position of the rebound, but also his opponent Rondo.Rondo is also a guard with excellent rebounding awareness.If he was taller, he might go straight to the inside.

It is also the first time that Wei Xia has encountered a guard who can compete with him in the prediction of long rebounds.

Unfortunately, basketball is a physical sport.

Rondo's struggle was powerless, and Wei Xia grabbed the rebound with all his strength.The ensuing counterattack is even easier. The Celtics have two people in the frontcourt, and Wei Xia only needs to throw the ball forward.His teammates will naturally play four-on-three adeptly.

4 is better than 2
Fisher assists Bynum to score.

Lu Kai responded very quickly.

Rondo showed Wei Xia a hand, which was completely advanced consciousness.

The seemingly ordinary movement has hidden murderous intentions.Kobe's defense against Allen was tough, and the opportunity only appeared for a moment, less than a second.

Ray Allen scored a jumper, but Kobe interfered to no avail.

4 is better than 4
The relationship between Kobe and Allen ended as early as the 2005-06 season.

That was Kobe's craziest season, but he was not respected by Jun Zilei.

"Jesus" called Bryant that season a selfish monster because 30 shots a game had become the norm.That kind of Dafa seriously violated his basketball philosophy, and he resolutely opposed it to the end.

When Kobe heard his words, he just said angrily: "Don't compare me with him!"

The two disliked each other, and now by accident, Ray Allen went to the Celtics and officially became Kobe's sworn enemy.

Kobe wanted to return the ball.

He's angry, and it's evident in his shot selection.

As I said before, Kobe is optimizing his shot selection and shot selection.Under normal conditions, he can be more selfless than anyone else, and he can also send exquisite passes one by one.

It's a pity that it's just a normal state, and Kobe who is irritated will still be his original self.

The self that defies rationality.

boom!
Missing the mid-range shot, Garnett grabbed the defensive rebound and passed Pierce.Pierce gives Rondo, Celtics advance.

Rondo quickly gave the ball to Pierce.

Pierce leaned against Wei Xia, who just wanted to defend with all his strength, the former raised his hand and hit the ground, and Perkins followed up with a dunk.

6 is better than 4
The Celtics officially overtook.

It was a symbolic moment when he went from behind to ahead.Kobe's subsequent attack this time, even the Zen master's timeout and Wei Xia's spiritual arsenic didn't work.

In the first quarter, Bryant made 8 of 3 shots.

It seems that his shot count and shot selection and shooting percentage are very poor.

But he made three goals, and the whole team only made five goals in the first quarter, and he alone accounted for most of them.

When the whole team followed Kobe's rhythm, Wei Xia was very forbearing, 0 shots in a single quarter, and Pierce was 3 for 1.

However, the Celtics, who played well on both offense and defense, scored 28 to 16 in a single quarter.

This team is no longer a team that can defend Pierce alone.

Wei Xia, who was 0+4+1 in a single quarter, was left on the court by Jackson.

If anyone had to be found to bring the Lakers' lifeless rhythm back to life, it would have to be him.

"Wish, let Kobe rest for a few more minutes."

Hearing this, Wei Xia walked up to Kobe spontaneously: "May I ask, do you want to rest for a few minutes?"

Kobe raised his eyes and said, "Do you think I can rest in peace if I let you fight those bastards alone?"

"Although you have countless shortcomings, you are indeed very reliable on the court. Although today is a bit abnormal, I think you should be able to recover after taking the medicine off the court."

"Who are you calling abnormal..."

Kobe's words were interrupted: "Listen to me. I absolutely believe in you, so you should believe in me too?"

Wei Xia said it seriously, and added in less than three seconds: "Now that we are 12 points behind, I will count it as bad. Before you return to the court, I guarantee that they will not win by 22 points."

After listening, Kobe no longer knew what to say in response to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia didn't say anything else, turned around and returned to the game, with Ryan Hollins, Radmanovich, Lowry and Ariza standing beside him.
