Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 37 The Lakers, you can be more sloppy.

Against 'Larry Bird', what could be more effective than the Lakers' ShowTime play.

Li Mu feels that the current Lakers don't need to adjust.

On the field, the Lakers attacked, and immediately Bowen missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, which made Li Mu understand that this version of ShowTime is the iron version.

"The Pacers started to target the defense, shrinking the lineup and letting the Lakers shoot from the outside.

Sure enough, this approach was correct. Bowen also missed a three-pointer from the open corner. ’ said Mike Breen.

"The offense is not over yet, the Lakers can really hit the iron, and they can really grab the rebound.

He played very tough, and the outside line rushed to the inside line to grab rebounds. "The groom Albert answered, and suddenly his voice roared strongly, "Oh, my God!
It's Ben Wallace again. This player's jumping ability is very good, and the strength of his hands is also very good. He almost grabbed the rebound from Schmitz's hand.

The Pacers, a group of old guys, are at a disadvantage physically.

Ben Wallace takes a second run, lands for a second dunk..."

beep-!
In exchange for a whistle.

It turned out that Schmitz had committed a foul.

The rebound just now was too embarrassing. He wanted to block the opponent's attack on defense, and while showing his strength, he also wanted to make up for the mistake just now.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he regretted it.

At this time, the game had only lasted a little over 3 minutes, and he was fouled twice.

Boom-!
Boom-!
Ben Wallace played normally and missed both free throws.

Schmitz felt that he had made money again, but he couldn't answer the sub-questions well.

"Sure enough, Ben Wallace is still that man with sharp advantages and disadvantages." Li Mu's face was calm, Hong Kong, let Da Ben play, such a thing has long been foreseen.

On the court, the Pacers attacked.

Li Mu stood on the sidelines and yelled at Billups, "32 zone defense, pinch the ball holder for me, and don't let them play the ball easily!"

Billups nodded, acknowledging that.

As a point guard, he can also see that the Pacers' offensive threat is on the outside.

The two top-five shooters in the league are still too comfortable receiving the ball, and some pressure must be applied to them.

In Li Mu's view, no matter whether the tactics are effective or not, as long as the rhythm on the field becomes chaotic, it is always right to make passing more difficult for the Pacers dealer.

Boom-!
The Pacers' shooting finally, finally hit the iron.

Reggie Miller passed the screen and received a pass from Mark Jackson. Seeing that the attack time was running out, facing Kobe's defense, he forced a three-point jumper and missed.

Off the ball offense, the most feared is a lunatic like Kobe.

He didn't spare his physical strength at all, even if he left him, he would try his best to keep up.

Does he not care if he is blocked?I don't care if I lost it?Don't even care if the offensive player is already shooting...

Kobe doesn't care, he only cares about the opponent, the offense is not over, he will never stop, this kind of persistence, sometimes it seems very ridiculous, but sometimes it can interrupt Miller's shooting rhythm, and the offensive efficiency is greatly reduced .

In Li Mu's previous life, in the 2000 Finals, Kobe only made 8 of 1 three-pointers against Reggie Miller.

Later, the two had a fight.

Obviously, Miller was very disgusted with Kobe's defense and could only use trash talk to fight back.

As a result, Kobe made a shot, but Reggie Miller was more experienced and directly pressed Kobe on the technical table.

In other words, Kobe is really not good at fighting, and he has suffered a lot.

He can only speak with basketball skills and counterattack with basketball.

The basketball was picked up by O'Neal, but he didn't pass it. He dribbled two steps and threw the basketball forward with one hand.

Kobe, who was still devoting himself to defense just now, quickly switched from offense to defense, and rushed forward with great strides.

The Lakers counterattacked quickly, and the Pacers could only stare blankly.

Kobe received the ball in the frontcourt, with a flat surface in front of him, a two-step basket, and a one-handed dunk while gliding in the air.

Bang-dang-!
10 to 9! !
"Kobe counterattacked and scored, and rushed to Reggie Miller again, this kind of persistence, this kind of determination, this kind of drive, it is no wonder that he will be praised by the league!
A player like Kobe, even as an opponent's audience, has to admire his fighting spirit for victory. "

Mike Breen blew a wave of Kobe.

Indeed, Kobe's efforts are obvious to all.

Next, the Pacers attacked, Mark Jackson was flanked, pulled the ball and jumped up, passing the basketball to the right.

Chris Mullin received the ball and faced the basket, and Bowen had already rushed in front of him. At this time, Bowen's reputation was not good.

Chris Mullin feels that he can be singled out. After all, the Pacers need another offensive point with the ball, not just a shooting point.

It is obviously a good idea to take the unknown Bowen.

Chris Mullin was not purely shooting. Facing Bowen who was close to him, he made a fake shot. After shaking Bowen's defensive center of gravity, he immediately received the ball and dribbled to the side. Pounced over, Cowhide Tang's defense was not for nothing.

Bowen's speed is very fast, and his face defense skills are good, but he can't guard against muscular men.

Obviously, Chris Mullin is not a muscular man, but more of a face-to-basket attack.

His three-point shot, with a bang, also missed.

The Lakers grabbed the rebound but failed to make a quick counterattack.

Next, the Lakers deliberately disrupted the rhythm, speeded up the offense and defense, and dragged the game into a physical talent match.

The Pacers started with all-star-level monsters, so they naturally resisted strongly, wanting to drag the game into a battle of shooting skills.

With a wealth of experience, a good shooting touch, and the lack of physical exertion just after the game, the Pacers turned away and were not affected by the iron strike just now, and they actually played against the Lakers.

Fortunately, the Lakers' inside line is too strong, and O'Neal's catch is a threat of 2 points or 1 point.

The game looked like the Pacers took more shots and made better shots.

However, the score was anxious, and no one was able to widen the gap.

The Lakers shot well, but they were able to grab the frontcourt, and they had more opportunities for second offense. With the number of shots, they didn't let the Pacers shoot, and they spent the game.

Moreover, the Lakers' counterattack is too deadly, and the Pacers can't run at all. As long as the Pacers can't make a shot, the Lakers' fast-break counterattack will be accurate.

In the 7th minute of the game, Li Mu took the lead in making adjustments, replacing Bowen and Ben Wallace with Dell Curry and Horry.

Bowen's three-point shooting from the bottom corner was not in good condition, and he hit the iron frequently. Daben went too far. He failed to make a goal in four free throws.

These are not the reasons for Li Mu to make substitutions. He has a mental idea of ​​how bad the shot is for the blacksmith team.

The reason for the substitution and adjustment was because Li Mu wanted to measure the offensive firepower of the Lakers.

The Pacers team couldn't be more suitable.

In Li Mu's previous life, the Pacers made it to the Eastern Conference Finals and were finally eliminated by the Knicks.

Such a team will naturally not be so bad.

However, no matter how strong the Pacers are, it is also a team in the Eastern Theater.

The next time we meet, with luck, it will be the NBA Finals.

The probability of this is very small, so Li Mu can be bolder and make the Lakers more aggressive.
