The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 91 Blowing the Call for Inside Calls

Gasol played Jamison with his back, gradually approached the basket, turned around and made a small throw, Jamison tried his best to block the block, and the thug fouled. After the ball thrown by Gasol bounced several times on the basket, it fell into the basket. basket.

Extra penalty hit!

5-8
Williams was relentless, and when he received the pass from the inside almost 24 seconds later, he raised his hand and dropped his knife, and hit a three-pointer against Fisher's defense!

8-8
After scoring the goal, Williams was very excited. He put his hands in a pistol position and put them on his shoulders on both sides, as if the pistol action after a cowboy shot.

The Lakers continued to hit Gasol. This time, Jamison tried hard to suppress Gasol's foot, but Gasol patiently hit back to the basket step by step, turned around, and met Varejao's double-team.

Gasol's slender arm directly went around Varejao's waist, and passed the ball from Varejao's back to Bynum who was standing under the basket on the other side. Another thug foul, but Bynum's shot also hit!

Jamison raised his head and let out a long sigh. The two fouls failed to achieve the effect of a foul, which is really depressing.

2 consecutive fouls Jamison had to end prematurely, was replaced by Scott, JJ-Hickson came off the bench.

Bynum's penalty was also hit, and the Lakers took the lead again.

8-11
Yuan Man's breakthrough encountered Artest's tenacious defense. Artest judged the direction of Yuan Man's breakthrough, and then used his strong body to block Yuan Man's breakthrough to the inside. At the same time, he constantly used his body to fight and violate Yuan Man's body balance And the center of gravity, Yuan Man, who found out that his center of gravity was unstable after a forced jump, immediately passed the ball to Parker on the outside.

Kobe's defensive eyes are quick, and Kobe, who has been paying attention to Yuan Man's movements, immediately reached out to intercept Yuan Man's pass and quickly launched a fast break.

Retreating Parker and Williams tried to slow down Bryant's advance, but to no avail.

"Pinch him, pinch him!" Scott on the sidelines couldn't help shouting.

Kobe rushed to the basket with the ball, Parker and Williams also resolutely implemented Scott's instructions, erecting a two-person barrier between Kobe and the basket.

Kobe's layup missed under the interference of the two. Varejao, who was actively returning to defense, was about to take the defensive rebound and stabilize the rhythm of the field, but a long hand stretched out from behind his head Go out and hit the rebound first.

The ball bounced off the backboard, and Varejao, who had just landed, was about to jump when he found that Gasol behind him had already raised his long arm to catch the bounced ball.

8-13
"It's okay, play steadily! Keep the rhythm." Scott signaled to Williams, who was dribbling, that he could not follow the rhythm of the Lakers.

The Cavaliers passed the ball patiently. JJ Hickson stood deep under the basket and asked for the ball. After getting the ball, Hickson turned around and prepared to dunk Gasol.

Carrying Gasol away with his body, Hixon turned around and jumped with the ball in both hands. Everything was as he imagined, but at the moment when the dunk was about to succeed, a big hand stretched out from the side and slapped the ball in Hixon's hand. Racket off.

It's Bynum who makes up defense!
Bryant took advantage of the cover of his teammates to get a chance and hit two points steadily again.

8-15
Williams finally couldn't bear it anymore. Looking at the Lakers lineup, the player he was facing had the most advantage, so Williams decided to go it alone.

After a few crotches in a row, Williams used his speed to break through the old Fisher, but under the attack of both sides of Artest and Kobe who were supplementing the defense, Williams could not pass the ball and could only continue to rush inside.

"Don't fall for it." Kenny Smith saw it clearly.

After Williams, who is 1.85 meters tall, rushed into the inside of the Lakers, he was like a child in elementary school, not of the same order at all.

Gasol and Bynum intertwined a huge net in the air, covering Williams' sky completely.

Without any chance, Williams could only pass the ball out forcibly after breaking into the inside, and was hugged by Gasol who was guarding the basket with quick eyes and quick hands.

The Cavaliers' offense made another mistake.

Gasol's singles attracted the Cavaliers' three-man double-team, and even Yuan Man came to help defend him.

Gasol immediately passed the ball to Artest, Mo Williams defended, and Artest passed the ball to Fisher. Although Fisher was old, his three-point firepower was still fast, and he hit his first shot!
8-18, the difference between the two sides quickly reached double digits.

Scott immediately called a timeout!
"I knew that the Lakers must be the inside line of the Death Attack Cavaliers." Barkley seemed to have foreseen it.

"Pau Gasol is 2.13, Andrew Bynum is 2.13, Lamar Odom is 2.08, Theo Ratliff is 2.08, look the other way, the tallest Cavaliers is Ryan Hollins 2.13 Mi, but was suspended for 3 games due to conflicts in the last game, this game can not be played, Anderson Varejao 2.11 meters, Antawn Jamison 2.03 meters, JJ-Hickson 2.06 meters, Leon Powe 2.03 meters. In terms of height alone, the Cavaliers are behind the Lakers by nearly 4cm per capita, 4cm!" Kenny Smith measured it with his hand, and then said, "It's almost the difference in the length of the state change!"

"Any team with an inside line like the Lakers will play a dozen more. After all, with such an inside line, the ball will be played much easier. And when encountering an inside line like the Cavaliers today, there is no need to hesitate. Go hard on the inside, and this game can be won. Looking at what happened to Antoine, it is only a matter of time before the Cavaliers’ inside is blown.” Although Barkley agreed with the Lakers’ inside advantage, it seems that Smith’s There is some doubt about the height difference.

"The inside line does not depend entirely on height. The Lakers do have an advantage inside, but it's not because they are taller than the Lakers." Barkley finished speaking, pointing to himself, "For example, I am only 1.98 meters tall. , but I can still play power forward in the NBA in the 90s, and I can still win the regular season MVP in the hands of the peak Jordan."

"Charles, aren't you only 1.93 meters?" Smith smiled and told the truth.

"These are not the key points, okay?" Barkley was a little anxious, and quickly changed the topic, "The point is 1.93 meters, no, 1.98 meters, it can also gain a foothold in the NBA's interior. So although the Cavaliers' interior height does have disadvantages, But you can also gain an advantage by playing to the strengths of your players."

As Smith and Barkley said, whether it is height or technology, the inside of the Cavaliers is facing a major test. Hollins is suspended and Jamison is replaced for too many fouls. How to find a solution for the inside?

To be honest, although a timeout was called, Scott has not yet figured out a solution to the Cavaliers' inside trouble.
