Chapter 378 The Tsunami Strikes
TNT commentary seats.

O'Neal frowned thickly, "It's very embarrassing for the Lakers now. They want to restrict Su Yang too much, and the double-team execution is very resolute, but Su Yang's patient breakthrough selection and unparalleled sprint speed make their double-teams look It looks as ridiculous as a circus show. Why not let CP3 defend alone? He is the best defensive player and the steal leader for two consecutive seasons. Could it be that Phil Jackson is wrong and thinks that the Lakers point guard is still Fisher ?”

"Wow?" Barkley looked sideways at O'Neal, with a sinister smile on his face, "Did your agent tell you that it would be more popular to comment on games with such a venomous style? It seems that you have positioned yourself very accurately. "

"I have four championships!" O'Neal raised his hand and stared at Barkley arrogantly.

Kenny laughed, and Ernie shook his head slightly: "Speaking of the game, I noticed just now that Su Yang broke through several times, and the Lakers chose weak-side players to help defend, causing the weak-side to be emptied continuously. Why did they do that? "

Barkley sat up straight and opened his mouth to answer, but O'Neal suddenly rushed to say: "That's the chain reaction caused by them sending away Andrew Bynum. The basket lost the protection of the big man. Someone must limit Su Yang's impact."

Ernie nodded and asked: "Then what solution do they have? For example, you said just now that CP3 should defend alone?"

Before O'Neal opened his mouth, Barkley immediately answered: "It's very simple, the Lakers inside players quickly return to defense after the delay, so that Su Yang can't easily break through and enter the paint area, don't think about completely defending Su Yang in one go. "

"You steal my words..."

In the arena, the whistle sounded, the short timeout ended, and the game continued.

The two teams did not make personnel adjustments, and the Lakers launched an offense from the bottom line of the backcourt. Many spectators cheered and shouted.

Bryant ran across the center line with the ball, immediately raised his hand and threw it to Barnes on the right wing, and strode forward.

It looked like a hand-to-hand screen, and the Clippers' defensive focus shifted, but Kobe ran past him without re-catching the ball, and Barnes pretended to pass the inside, but turned around and threw the ball to the arc top.

Paul caught the ball and turned to the left, pushed hard with both hands, passed it to Artest who was raised to the elbow, and then started to rush over, as if he was going to cover hand-to-hand.At the same time, Barnes ran to Bryant after passing the ball and set up a wall to block Gordon.

Kobe took the opportunity to run back and rushed to the right 45-degree three-point line, making it clear that he wanted to make a pass and cut cooperation with Artest.

The Clippers diverted their defensive attention, but Artest actually dropped the ball to the floor.

The basketball couldn't come out in time, Gordon seized the opportunity to re-stick to Bryant, and a perfect fit disappeared.

"Give it to me, give it to me..." Paul quickly rushed to Artest, shouting a reminder.

Artest turned his head when he heard the words, hurriedly passed the ball to Paul, and set up a wall to block Su Yang who was chasing with all his strength.

Randolph hastily shifted sideways to switch defenses, while Su Yang quickly bypassed the cover and quickly chased behind Paul.

DeAndre Jordan shrunk to the basket to help defend at the same time, and the four Clippers players formed an encirclement circle almost instantly, while Gordon, the only one standing on the outside, leaned against Kobe with his back, cutting off the passing route from the inside to the outside in advance, and did not intend to give any Chance.

Between the lightning and the flint, Paul, who was sprinting, stopped and twisted his hips, and passed the ball towards the left short corner.

boom!The basketball rebounded and hit the ground, as if it had a positioning navigation, and it flew accurately into Artest's hands.

Su Yang was behind Paul, seeing the trajectory of the basketball clearly, and subconsciously twisted his hips and rushed to the short corner on the left. Seeing Artest take off and make a shot, he also jumped up and flew, and used the nearest left hand to interfere.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

George jumped high, grabbed the basketball with a snap, held it in his arms for protection for a moment, and passed it to the left sideline.

Su Yang received the ball and slowly brought it across the center line. Seeing that Randolph had set a screen at 45 degrees in advance, he immediately accelerated and rushed up.

Perhaps it was still relatively far from the basket, Paul chose to bypass the screen to intercept, but Artest did not give any delay.

Su Yang didn't encounter any restrictions, easily reached the free throw line, and faced Gasol's emergency stop, he pulled back and fell back.

Boom!The basket hit the net after the basketball hit, 13 to 4.

"It seems that the Lakers made adjustments according to Shaq's ideas, and only let CP3 defend Su Yang alone..." Barkley chuckled, "Artest didn't give any help, and the whole person stood there in a daze like a fool. Ha ha."

"The Lakers must be tough and drive defense through scoring. They are a little confused now. It's time for my brother Kobe to stand up. He will tell everyone that Los Angeles will still be the territory of the Lakers in the next ten years." O'Neal said.

On the court, Kobe ran across the center line with the ball, turned his hip side to Gordon, and slowly advanced along the sideline.

Suddenly, he hit the ground and passed the ball vigorously, and then accelerated to the left elbow area, approaching Gasol who was holding the ball.

But Gordon chased the defense very quickly, he didn't give him room to catch the ball, and he stopped suddenly and leaned out, as if he was going to the free throw line.

Gordon hurriedly slid to intercept, but he stopped suddenly again, ran to the short corner again, and suddenly widened the gap.

Gasol immediately handed over the ball, stepped forward by the way, and blocked Gordon who wanted to continue.

With such a tacit cooperation, Kobe got a wide open, ignoring Jordan to switch to a flying dive, and raised his hand to make a mid-range shot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 13 to 6.

Many Lakers fans on the sidelines cheered loudly and made various gestures at Su Yang who was waiting for the serve.

Su Yang responded with a smile, and his heart was full of joy. After all, Kobe can attack with all his strength just now, and the Clippers' defense is a great success. It is best to allow Kobe to attack with all his strength continuously, consume his energy early, and accept [-]% hits.

While thinking about it, he ran across the center line with the ball, stopped in the 45-degree area on the right side, and waited.

Jordan was right in front of him, looking like he was going to cover. Paul tried to go around it first, but Su Yang didn't activate it. Paul stepped forward again, ready to defend closely, and aggressively pressed his center of gravity to try to take out the ball.

At the moment Paul bent his knee, Su Yang pulled the ball to start, and with the help of Jordan's cover, he reached the free throw line in the blink of an eye.

Gasol, who stayed in the paint, retreated again and again, giving priority to defensive breakthroughs, and other Lakers players followed suit.

Su Yang accelerated suddenly, leaned close to Gasol, clamped the basketball with five fingers, took two steps in a row, picked the basketball with low hands and hit the backboard.

boom!Gasol nailed the big hat and knocked Su Yang off the court at the same time.

The basketball rebounded and flew upside down, just in the hands of the chasing Paul. The Lakers fans cheered and shouted in unison.

The Clippers fans yelled fouls, but the referee didn't blow his whistle. Paul rushed forward with the ball like a tiger out of the cage.

Su Yang got up with his left hand on the floor, strode into the field, and headed straight ahead with lightning speed.

The other four Clippers players seemed to have made an appointment, and they went to the inside team in unison, not letting go.

Paul could only stop at the free throw line, turned his head and saw Su Yang rushing towards him, and quickly took off to make a mid-range shot.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

The four players inside the Clippers eagerly prepared to grab the rebound, but the basketball rebounded and flew to the left sideline, and Artest was standing there waiting, and it was too late to rush up to fight for it. They scattered and followed the Lakers players honestly. .

At that time, Artest suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball, and Paul happened to cut to the basket without the ball.

Jordan hurried back to the defense, but Paul caught the ball and took off, aiming at the basket was a one-handed dunk.

There were cheers in the arena, the Lakers chased 8 to 13, but assistant coach Brian Shaw shook his head frequently.

In the commentary seat, Ernie stared at the computer screen: "The Lakers have gained momentum. They scored 4 points in a row, but the coaching staff members seem not satisfied with this. Should they play better? Or is there something wrong?"

"It should be that they failed to play their tactical layout..." Kenny said, "The reason why they scored 4 points in a row mainly relied on Kobe and Paul's strong attack, only the most basic pass coordination, and the block just now looked like a foul. "

On the court, Su Yang stopped the ball at the top of the arc. Seeing that the players of the two teams were relatively separated, he raised his hand to signal the positioning of the gem tactics.

The formation was quickly set up, and Gordon then used the cover to go around the left wing, bent his knees and squatted and stretched out his hands to catch the ball.

Kobe went around and intercepted, perfectly cutting off the passing route.

But at the same time, George used Jordan's cover to circle from the basket to the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Su Yang immediately passed the basketball over, then turned around and moved to the left to leave room for manipulation.

George received the ball in a three-threat move, and after a while, he borrowed Jordan's cover and started to break through along the sideline.

Perhaps because he felt that George's shooting threat was too low, Gasol moved confidently in parallel and did not step up to grab it.

George couldn't rush in for a while, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Barnes catching up, and hurriedly joined the ball and took off to make a mid-range shot.

when!The basketball hit the front basket and fell straight down.

Artest received the basketball, turned around and dashed forward, like a point guard, reaching the left corner of the frontcourt.

Paul followed up to receive the ball from the left wing, immediately passed it to the acceleration on the left waist, and then started to run to the free throw line.

Su Yang followed up and saw that Kobe used Paul to cover, get rid of Gordon and run to the left, and immediately switched defenses to intercept.

Such a reaction is quite fast, but Gasol passes the ball faster, and Kobe Bryant catches the ball directly from the left wing.

In a hurry, Su Yang chased after him with all his strength, but Kobe didn't make any extra moves. He rushed to the short corner and pulled out immediately.

Limited by his height and wingspan, Su Yang was unable to block the shot and had no time to steal, so he could only interfere with it symbolically.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, and the Lakers caught up to 10 to 13.

Many spectators cheered and shouted, and assistant coach Brian Shaw finally nodded in satisfaction.

"They played tactical coordination." Kenny said, "but not their traditional triangle offensive tactics, but some more Princeton tactical support, using the ability of CP3 and Kobe to cover each other on the outside to forcibly create dislocations. "

"I think that all teams against the Clippers should play against Su Yang..." O'Neal said, "Just like Kobe's forced breakthrough just now, both offensive and defensive ends consume his energy. Such a simple truth, there are so many The coach doesn't understand."

"What you said is the reason why it is difficult for traditional point guards to win the championship as the core," Barkley said. "They have a natural disadvantage in size. If they are targeted, they are easy to consume, but now the times have changed..."

On the court, the Clippers settled in a V-shaped formation.

Su Yang passed the ball to Randolph on the right elbow, strode into the paint, ran to the short corner on the left, and joined forces with Jordan to set up the wall.

George took the opportunity to go around, bent over to receive the pass from Gorandorf, and pulled up to meet Barnes for a mid-range shot.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Gasol caught the rebound, landed and threw it to Paul, and the Lakers launched a fast break counterattack.

The Clippers quickly retreated. Paul controlled the ball on the left wing, and suddenly turned to the right and raised his hand to pass the ball. Kobe just started running from the right wing. With Artest's cover, he quickly circled to the 45-degree three-point line. People defend.

After receiving the basketball, Kobe went to the left side of the free throw line, stopped suddenly and raised his hand to aim at the basket.

Gordon didn't take off, and Kobe lowered the basketball, then raised it up again to aim at the basket, like shaking his head to shoot.

Gordon still couldn't jump, but Kobe finally couldn't help it, and really jumped up to push the ball at the finale.

That movement was quite beautiful, but Su Yang jumped up from behind him, aimed at the basketball and slammed it vigorously.

Paul hurriedly reminded, but it was too late, and the basketball was forced to fly to the right sideline.

Originally, because of the early contraction, he did not switch to Kobe George, but it was a blessing in disguise to grab the basketball and immediately start to advance.

Su Yang received the ball from the center line. Seeing that Paul was standing firm at the top of the arc and was ready to fight, he directly stepped forward with his shoulders down.

Gasol and Artest hurriedly shrunk to encircle, and Su Yang joined the ball and took off without fear, but when he was about to shoot the basket, he felt a strong force coming from his waist, and the center of gravity of his body was involuntarily shifted in time and space, so he could only throw it casually.

boom!The basketball bounced off the board and fell.

Su Yang fell on the floor at the same time, he threw himself forward uncontrollably, and fell heavily.

Shouts of applause and abuse exploded at the same time, Su Yang pushed away the harassing hands of the Lakers fans, and quickly turned over to get up.

It's a pity that it was too late. The Clippers had 4 defenses and 5 defenses in the frontcourt. Paul got a super wide open and easily hit a three-pointer.

Cheers and boos instantly resounded through the arena, and Van Gundy rushed to the referee, shouting a foul almost roaring.

The large central screen simultaneously played the video of Su Yang's previous layup. The close-up of the screen showed that Artest's hands were exerting force and pushing hard. For Su Yang who was jumping in the air at that time, it was very, very dangerous .

The referee ignored Van Gundy's roar, the Clippers called for a timeout instead, and the Staples Center was full of voices.

On the commentary seat, O'Neal clapped his hands happily: "It's tied! The Lakers played a wave of 9-0 offensive, most of which took advantage of the Clippers' mistakes. I hope they can continue to maintain this impact. They must be strong enough to attack and defend against Su Yang." Firm enough."

"I don't think this is a good thing for the Lakers..." Barkley said, "We all know that referees will favor a certain team at a certain time, but they pursue absolute fairness in the scene and will find ways to make up for the other team. team."

O'Neill showed disdain: "In the face of absolute strength, those small tricks are useless, just wait and see."

Inside, the timeout ends.

The referee whistled the whistle and the Clippers kicked off from the left sideline. Su Yang used the cover to run over to respond.

Paul chased him close, he didn't seem to want to give him any space, and he spouted trash talk.

Su Yang protected the ball sideways, slowly brought it to the top of the arc, and raised his hand to signal the audience to come and play singles.

The four of George quickly shifted to the sides and the bottom line, and the middle area was quickly vacated.

The audience shouted wildly, booing and cheering like thousands of troops fighting each other, charging staggeredly.

Su Yang took advantage of the situation to sink his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity, leaning on Paul and striding in, like a bull rushing.

Gasol and Artest quietly turned their faces, as if they were ready to shrink and encircle at any time.

But Su Yang suddenly closed the ball at the free throw line, took a big step and jumped up, arched his body, and smashed the dunk to the limit.

Boom!The hoops at the Staples Center stopped abruptly as the basketball exploded into the net.

The cheers then rushed to the roof of the arena, and Paul, Gasol, and Artest looked at each other silently.

Su Yang returned to the arena with a calm face, silently walked to Paul's side and stood still, and started the full-court press alone.

"A storm is coming..." Kenny looked at O'Neal, "It may also be a tsunami, I hope the Lakers can hold on."

"What's wrong?" O'Neill raised his eyebrows, his face full of doubts.

"The last time Su Yang pressed alone was the one where he broke the scoring record. He was very angry..."
