Coach Lee

Chapter 760
The Lakers' offense came quickly.

This time, facing Li Nan's defense, Kobe didn't choose to play by himself, but gave the ball to Yao Liang.

Playing the Nuggets, the Lakers have so much experience.The weakness of the Nuggets is the inside line, which is too short.

Milicic 213, Camby 211, Nene 211, Jefferson 208, Anderson 208.

Yao Liang is 226 tall. If he can get the ball in the paint, he can play casually.

Milicic, who is the tallest, has a certain level of defense under the words and deeds of Mutombo, but facing the top center Yao Liang, Milicic can't defend at all by himself.

Camby does have a lot of blocked shots, but his personal defensive ability is not very outstanding, and most of his blocked shots come from supplementary defense.

Anderson's defense was very naive in front of Yao Liang, and often a small move could make Anderson play around.The motor nerves are too developed, and Anderson can't do anything about it. Moreover, Anderson's height is almost 20 centimeters behind Yao Liang, and it is the easiest to beat Anderson Yao Liang.

Nene is a floor player, and Yao Liang is easy to deal with him.

As for Jefferson, Yao Liang has never played against Jefferson.However, the height of 208 is still low-floor, so such a big man should not be a problem.

Kobe saw that Jefferson was guarding Yao Liang, and without any hesitation, Kobe passed the ball in.

Surprisingly, the Nuggets did not shrink their defense this time.

This is because the anti-aircraft guns on the outside of the Lakers are quite accurate today, and the Nuggets dare not shrink their defense.

"Just because such a dwarf wants to defend Yao? Don't dream."

"Yao, blow him up!"

"gogogo!"

However, what is surprising is that Yao Liang played with some difficulty on the court.

Facing the rock-solid Jefferson, Yao Liang did not move.A forced turnaround jumper.

The Lakers fans also breathed a sigh of relief seeing Yao Liang pull out his own trick.

"With such a high shot point, Yao can definitely get in."

however,
Bang!
Did not enter!

The goal was missed!
The fans were slightly disappointed, but they didn't think too much about it.

"It's just a matter of feel."

Al Jefferson, blocking Yao Liang, Li Nan Milicic got the rebound.

"Back to defense!"

Kobe shouted, and quickly retreated with the other 4 members of the Lakers.

However, the Nuggets didn't play fast breaks.

Maurice Williams slowly took possession of the ball across half court, and then gave the ball to Li Nan.

This time, is Li Nan coming?

Kobe is very serious, Liu Wei beside Kobe is ready to come up to delay and double-team
However, surprisingly, Li Nan once again lobbed the ball to Hill on the flank.

Understood!
Everyone understands!

Li Nan is creating opportunities for Hill.

Then, as soon as Kobe turned his head, he saw Hill turn over and shoot a jumper again.

There is no fake action, just a direct jump shot.

Same position, same action, same result.

Whoosh!
Go in!

16-16
Just two mediocre balls.

It's even!

The Lakers organized a counterattack again.

This time, Kobe also followed Li Nan and threw the ball to Yao Liang.

Yao Liang, who just got the ball, frowned all of a sudden.

The position of the midfielder felt the opponent's strong top.

Of course, Yao Liang knew that he would lose to the opponent in terms of strength. He did not hit as hard as the last ball. This time, Yao Liang used his dreamy footsteps.

Turn left, turn right, turn left, turn right.

A sudden start.

Sure enough, it worked!
However, when Yao Liang made two moves.

"careful!"

When Kobe shouted, Yao Liang felt that the basketball he was dribbling was gone.

It turned out that when Yao Liang was making fake moves, Maurice Williams attacked from behind.

What the big man fears most when dribbling is the little man below making trouble.

Maurice Williams made a successful steal and quickly passed the ball to Li Nan who was outside the three-point line.

"rush!"

"Back to defense!"

In an instant, all 10 people on the field quickly started to rush towards the backcourt of the Lakers.

After all, Yao Liang was a little slower, and the Nuggets played more and less in the frontcourt.

Li Nan came from the right and cut in from a 45-degree angle, attracting the defensive attention of Kobe and Butler.Li Nan failed to rush over, but it didn't matter, Li Nan passed the ball without looking at people, threw the pass behind his back, and the basketball went straight to the basket.

At this time, a figure jumped up, caught the ball in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket.

Grant Hill!

That figure is Grant Hill!

18-16
In just three rounds, the Nuggets directly overtook the score!

Seeing Hill, who was hanging on the basket, fall to the ground, the eyes of the old groom in the commentary were a little moist, "Nirvana rebirth! Who said Grant can't fly? Today, at the Staples Center, Grant is going to prove it to everyone!"

On the field,

The Nuggets gave a thumbs up.

"Nice!"

Hill himself was very excited.

I looked at my palms for a while, and carefully felt my ankles, knees and other places, and found that there was no discomfort.

Hill smiled slightly, very satisfied with his current physical condition.

Because of Hill's three offenses, the Nuggets have overtaken the score.

Next, how will the Lakers play?What should the Lakers do about Hill's defense?
On the court, the Lakers' offense came again.

This time, Kobe did not choose to pass the ball to Yao Liang.Instead, he beckoned Yao Liang to come out for a high pick-and-roll.

The old horseman who saw this scene also said, "Kobe didn't give him a third chance. Obviously, the previous two misses made Kobe temporarily lose his trust in Yao. After all, Kobe is not Li. The kind of patience that gives you opportunities slowly. Maybe this is the reason for the difference between the two."

On the field, Kobe and Yao Liang's pick-and-roll quickly paid off.

Kobe went straight to the basket,
Jefferson's big defense is small, and his speed is still at a disadvantage after all.

Kobe Bryant made a layup with a high rebound.

The score was tied again.

"yeah!"

Kobe's goal gave the Lakers fans in the audience and all the "Lakers" fans in front of the TV a shot in the arm.

However, soon, the Nuggets slowly dribbled through halftime.

The ball was passed to Li Nan, and Li Nan lobbed it to Hill again.

This time, everyone thought that Hill was still turning to the right for a turnaround jumper, but in the end, Hill turned around suddenly, went straight to the basket, and succeeded in a dunk.

20-18
Yao Liang on the inside is also unable to defend well.

However, the Lakers will not only look at Hill's personal offense, they quickly counterattacked.

Kobe and Yao Liang had a high pick-and-roll, Kobe gave the ball to Odom, and Odom passed the ball again to Kobe who ran around Yao Liang.

Kobe directly made a three-pointer.

Whoosh, the ball goes in!

20-21
The Lakers overtook again, leading by 1 point.

When the Nuggets counterattacked, seeing that Li Nan was going to pass the ball to Hill again, the Lakers began to double-team.

Odom moved over early.

Then, Li Nan started directly.

Killing from the flank, Milicic blocked Kobe with a screen, and Li Nan, who was open, shot a three-pointer directly.

Whoosh!
Return a ball.

23-21
The Nuggets led by 2 points.

It was only then that everyone remembered that there was still a killing god here.

There is Hill inside and Li Nan outside, how to defend?

Phil Jackson off the court didn't give any instructions, just let the players on the court solve the problem by themselves.

The solution for Kobe and Yao Liang is to attack.

That's the way of defense, anyway, if you can't defend, then go all out to attack.

The Lakers' offense did play well today, and most of the defensive players sent by the Nuggets failed to reduce the success rate of the Lakers' offense.

At the end of the first half, the score was 56-57
The Lakers lead by 1 points.

Although it was only 1 point, the Lakers fans were extremely happy.

It only takes 1 point to win!
Everyone is looking forward to the victory surprise that the Lakers will bring to everyone in the second half.

.

In the home team locker room.

Everyone in Kobe was sweating profusely, but everyone's faces were full of joy.

Leading in the first half, this is really a very good result for them.

"Well played, everyone played very well in the first half of the game!..."

Phil Jackson raved about every player who entered the locker room.

……

In the visiting team locker room.

"How is it? This style of play is simple and comfortable?"

Hill nodded with a smile.

This kind of play is really comfortable as long as you get stuck in the low position and play directly with your back. Occasionally in the fast break, Hill can also contribute wonderful alley-oop dunks.

This was a pleasant feeling that Hill hadn't experienced for a long time.

"Playing with the Nuggets is a real comfort."

This is the deepest feeling that Hill has experienced.

Anderson on the side also joined in the fun, "That's right! I also feel comfortable playing in our Nuggets team."

"Hahahaha~~~" The others also laughed.

Apparently, it's not just Anderson and Hill who think so.
