The strongest basket king

Chapter 62 Tactical Changes
In the last three minutes of the game, the Lakers' defense was at its peak. They haven't had such a focused defense for a long time.

Things like grievances can really enhance a player's combat effectiveness.

Among them is the problem of the Celtics' aging lineup. Kobe can also ignore the defense and make various offenses. It is difficult for the Celtics' Big Three to do so.

Kobe scored two goals in a row to help the team overtake the score, so the Celtics focused on him.

Unexpectedly, in the last critical attack, Kobe passed the ball, and Bynum hit in the low post, pushing the Celtics to the edge of the cliff.

Then they used defense to force Rondo and Pierce to miss a three-pointer and won the matchup.

Talking about the team's last attack after the game, Bryant said that he let the head coach Mike Brown use himself as a bait, and finally helped Bynum successfully complete the fatal blow. "Andrew's too big to teach, and I put him in the deep post, and I knew it was going to be a high-percentage shot."

For Bryant's trust, Bynum seemed very happy.

"It's crazy," Bynum said after the game. "Kobe came up with that game plan and he said, 'They're not going to know what we're going to do.' The hand finishes the attack, and it feels so good."

Except for the second quarter of this game, it can be said that the performance was perfect.

Xiang Chu didn't hit double figures in rebounds this time, but he was very happy. If the team can perform well and win the game every game, he doesn't care if the numbers are close.

If the team has a chance to win the championship, this can increase the popularity value more than a little data.

Except for a certain period of time in the second quarter, the Lakers did very well this time. Even if there is no substitute with strong scoring ability for the three strong points, they should still be contenders for the championship.

Two days later, the Lakers went away to challenge the Grizzlies.

The Lakers and Grizzlies have similar records, and the winner of this game will become the third in the West.

Even if the Lakers have been unsatisfactory, they are better than most teams.

It's just that their goal is to chase the championship, and the standard is naturally higher than many teams.

The Grizzlies Zach Randolph was unable to play due to injury, and their leading scorer Rudy Gay will not play this game, and the situation is favorable for the Lakers.

But the Grizzlies are a very tough team. If you underestimate them, you will definitely regret it.

Unlike the last game, the Grizzlies promoted Marreese Speights to the starting lineup.

The Lakers' starting lineup has not changed, and they have played well this time, but the Grizzlies are even more surprising. Tony Allen, who is not good at offense, even scored in double figures in the first quarter.

During the rotation period, it was difficult for the Lakers to limit OJ-Mayo. As a result, the Grizzlies, who were short of major generals, gained a score advantage.

Sometimes the team doesn't need many strengths, it just needs to play a role.

If the Lakers get a sixth man who averages more than ten points per game, it may be better than reinforcing the No. [-] position.

The Grizzlies didn't use a backup center, they chose to target the Lakers' weaknesses on the perimeter.

Their method of dealing with the Lakers inside is also very simple, which is to increase physical confrontation and disrupt the rhythm of the game.

But the effect was obviously not very good. Not to mention Xiang Chu's rebounding advantage, Bynum showed his power in the second quarter and directly scored in double figures in a single quarter, helping the Lakers even out the point difference.

Bynum was really strong when his hands were going well, and the team has now designed several tactics specifically for him.

The Grizzlies' physical confrontation is a bit like that of the Heat, but they don't have the Heat's star. In fact, as long as they don't get distracted, the Lakers should have an advantage.

Xiang Chu may play a greater role in some teams that lack insiders. He can only play a supporting role in the Lakers. He has nothing to say, but he is very longing for the position that can decide the game.

Maybe the Lakers will trade an insider to help him, he has also had this idea.

But unless it's an inside switch to an All-Star guard, that kind of thing can't happen.

In the third quarter, the Lakers did not kill the Quartet, but they also maintained their status, but they did not expect someone from the Grizzlies to stand up again, not Gasol Jr., nor Conley, just like Tony Allen in the first quarter, this time it was Speights also scored in double figures, and he felt surprisingly good when he pulled out the pitcher.

Xiang Chu doesn't play a lot of time. The Grizzlies use a small lineup, and the Lakers won't leave so many insiders on the field.

The key is that Gasol and Bynum also have rebounding advantages. The Lakers use Xiang Chu more to rest the main force. When encountering teams with the same strong interior, let him resist for a few more minutes. When encountering unnecessary ones, play less. few minutes.

They originally only needed a substitute insider, and Xiang Chu's performance was higher than their expectations, but he could only accept this identity.

When Xiang Chu came on the court, the team had already fallen behind by double digits. He didn't mess around, and he worked hard on the court to grab rebounds and assist in defense.

His height stands on the inside, and the Grizzlies' players will also be under pressure when they go in.

When Xiang Chu finished the fourth quarter, the team was still 8 points behind, and the situation was not optimistic.

But finally it was the Lakers' turn to have a surprise, and it wasn't a surprise, it was just that the three strong points showed their power at the same time.

At this time, the Grizzlies had no one to stand up, and the flashes of role players could not always appear. In the last minute, Kobe made a three-pointer and an assist, helping the Lakers lead the score.

But then Gasol also hit, Bryant failed to make the last shot, and the game went into overtime.

In the overtime game, both sides played iron like crazy, and the Grizzlies replaced two scorers on the bench, and finally scored first.

The Lakers tied the score by attacking inside. Kobe had a chance to end the game, but he missed a free throw and missed the final mid-range shot. The game entered the second overtime.

In overtime, the Lakers did not give the bench a chance, but Blake replaced Fisher from the beginning.

In the second overtime, Blake showed his value and hit a three-pointer, giving the Lakers the initiative.

Then Bynum scored 6 points in a row to seal the victory, and Xiang Chu was so envious.

Bynum did play well at the last moment, completely the performance of the Sharks.

Although the All-Star game was very embarrassing, Bynum seemed to have changed a bit, and he played very well in these few games.

The two Lakers scored 30+ points, and Bynum scored a team-high 37 points.

When he was interviewed by reporters after the game, he completely looked like a superstar, and he also imitated Kobe in his speech, understating and pretending: "It's nothing, everyone is happy to win in double overtime."

But Kobe was in a good mood and said a few more words, "The mask is no longer a problem. I have become very used to the feeling of wearing a mask. Now I am the black version of the masked killer Michael Myers."

"We summed up the previous games and made changes. Many tactics on the offensive end revolve around Andrew. Unlike the beginning of the season, we are playing around him. We count on him to create opportunities for teammates when he is double-teamed, not Just play on your own."

While Xiang Chu was envious of others, his heat value had already reached [-]. He only needed to increase by [-], and he would be able to draw one more magical skill. Xiang Chu was looking forward to it.
