Chapter 432

Back from the timeout, the Kings didn't come up with a surprise move, but became more patient on the offensive end and finally stabilized the situation.

But the defensive end still has nothing to do with the Lakers' coquettish running position, and has not been able to narrow the point difference.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led 34-25, and the team returned to the bench to make adjustments.

Kobe scored 21 points and rested as planned, while Li Yue got 9 assists and stayed off the court.

Iguodala led the team to play, and the Kings replaced Cousins ​​​​in advance, and the two teams led alternately in scoring.

With Nick Stauskas blocking the foul, the time came to the last 7 minutes and 03 seconds of the second quarter. Walton applied to the referee and the technical statistics department for player replacement, and Li Yue and Kobe joined forces to fight.

The Lakers players who stayed on the court also included Covington who was about to execute free throws, as well as Gasol and Davis.

The Kings also made substantial adjustments. The two main players, McClemore and Collison, joined Jason Thompson, Derek Williams, and Cousins, who remained on the field, to form a lineup that looked like a mobile phone signal. .

The referee raised his hand to indicate that free throws were allowed, cheers erupted from the Staples Center, and Covington stepped up to take a shot.

Boom!The first free throw crashed into the net, and the Lakers led 47 to 39.

Covington stepped forward, high-fived Davis and Gasol, and stepped back to high-five Kobe and Li Yue.

Just as he was about to return to his position for the second free throw, Kobe suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "We're going to play normally, we're going to play normally..."

Covington immediately showed doubts, and then nodded, and Li Yue also nodded. Kobe's words were nothing more than saying not to deliberately play for him, maybe he had already scored 21 points, and he was confident about surpassing Jordan's scoring record.

The referee blew his whistle to remind, and the cheers sounded again. Covington returned to his position to catch the ball, stepped on his foot and raised his hand to shoot.

when!The second free throw hit the basket and hit the iron.

Cousins ​​got the rebound and passed it to Collison, and the Kings counterattacked.

The Kings' 1-high-4-low formation was settled, and Derek Williams used the cover to go around from the baseline to the left wing, received a pass from Collison, turned and bent over, left Covington behind, hit the ground and divided the left waist.

Cousins ​​received the ball with his back, without any preparatory action, and directly made a strong header.

Gasol bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, gasping for breath and carrying it hard, he just held it, and still had the strength to raise his hand to interfere.

Perhaps because he was consciously challenged, Cousins ​​suddenly turned around with his shoulders down, took two steps, kicked off the ground, and put the basket with his right hand.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, called Gasol for a thug foul, and gave Cousins ​​two free throws.

Cousins ​​spread his hands, strode to the three-point line, and yelled: "I need more pressure, what is this?"

Li Yue looked up at the large central screen and found that Gasol did have signs of a thug, but it was very slight, and it was Cousins ​​himself who touched it. If it was an anxious stage of the game, the referee would probably not Whistle off.

But Cousins, as the star in a small ball market, it is normal to have too many whistles, because a small ball market like Sacramento has not been able to recruit superstars from the free market for decades, and the team has changed owners several times and is on the verge of bankruptcy. For Cousins, the league will naturally support him, which can not only attract more attention from local fans, but also make fans of other teams regard him as a threat.

The audience booed everywhere, Cousins ​​stood on the free throw line, took the basketball and patted it twice, and skillfully kicked his feet.

The basketball is hollow into the net, and the whole process is extremely smooth, not at all blunt like most centers.

The whistle sounded in the arena, Nick Young came on the field to replace Covington, and the free throw was temporarily suspended.

"This guy has both strength and skill, his feet are very flexible, and his sense of the ball is top-notch." Kobe said to Li Yue with his hands on his hips, "Fortunately, he has poor emotional management and average basketball IQ, otherwise he would be an enhanced version of Howard..."

"God still doesn't favor him enough," Li Yue smiled, "Jordan is God's masterpiece."

"No way." Kobe shrugged slightly, "Michael is the perfect basketball player."

Boom!Cousins ​​also hit the second free throw, and the Kings chased 41 to 47.

The Lakers attacked, and Li Yue caught the ball from the bottom line and advanced.

Nick Young mentioned a 45-degree wall on the left to cover, and Li Yue rushed up to pass the ball hand-to-hand, twisting his hips and cutting inside.

Derek retreated half a step, as if he wanted to switch defenses to delay, but Nick Young took off decisively and shot two points.

when!The basketball bounced off the basket, flew to the left waist, and landed in front of Li Yue.

Seeing the three kings rushing forward, Li Yue reached out to grab the basketball, and immediately crossed the right waist vigorously.

Gasol raised his hand to catch the ball, flew towards Cousins, and turned up the arc to make a mid-range shot, which took a long time.

Snapped!Cousins ​​slapped the basketball, grabbed it in his hand, turned around and pushed towards the left half court.

Although he didn't have eyes to see the scene behind him, it was obvious that he was going to make a quick break, so Li Yue turned around and ran wildly.

It's a pity that the speed is still slow. McClemore received the ball from the center line, rushed to the elbow area of ​​the frontcourt first, and made an emergency stop to pull Kobe.

The basketball hit the circle and entered the net, and the Kings chased 43 to 47.

"Ben McLemore will have a bright future in the future." Jackson said, "As a rookie shooting guard, he has no stage fright against Kobe. He can even play in a technical style. His mentality and courage are at the top level."

The Lakers attacked, Li Yue ran across the center line with the ball, stopped at the LOGO position, and waited for his teammates to move.

A moment later, Kobe used the screen to go around from the baseline to the right wing, and Li Yue raised his hand to pass the ball.

Seeing that Derek wanted to double-team, Li Yue quickly ran to the left half, but Derek stayed at the top of the arc.

At this moment, Kobe happened to turn sideways and didn't realize that there was a large space. Instead, he walked off the line with heavy shoulders and took two big strides to the short corner on the right. Emergency stop and take-off mid-range shot.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Davis hurriedly stuck Thompson with his back, and Gasol, who was temporarily unattended, kicked off the ground and raised his hand to make a tip.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, 49 to 43.

Cousins ​​picked up the basketball and stood out of bounds. Collison ran to the bottom line and waited.

That thought, Cousins ​​swung his arms sideways and made a long pass, and the basketball flew directly to the frontcourt.

The Lakers didn't have time to react to such a pass that the Kings didn't expect. McLemore jumped to catch the ball, landed and turned around and ran forward. He used his speed to throw Kobe away and rushed to the basket like lightning. He took off under the threat of Davis, gliding in the air to avoid the block, and hit the layup with a backhand pull.

boom!The basketball bounces off the backboard and into the net.

The referee's whistle blew at the same time, calling Davis for a foul and giving McClemore an additional penalty.

"Did you see? Did you see?" Jackson shouted excitedly, "I now boldly predict that McClemore will be able to hit the All-Star next season, he will become a star like James Harden, and the Kings will revive Hopeful."

"I agree with you on the first half." Van Gundy said, "If all goes well, Ben McLemore will become a Ray Allen-level player, but there is still a long way to go from James Harden."

There were boos in the arena, McClemore took the referee's pass, raised his hand and easily hit an extra penalty, and the Kings chased 46 to 49.

The Lakers attacked, and Li Yue was about to take the ball forward when Kobe suddenly shouted, "Give me two first..."

Li Yue laughed, it was an unbearable itch, and McClemo was so irritated!
