Chapter 340 Spent
Gasol also came up with Howard, because the inside line of the Hornets' bench is not only a problem with David West, but also a little monster like Whiteside!At this time, the Lakers fans suddenly realized that the Hornets had two substitutes, but they were the champions' starting insiders!
Pau Gasol catches the ball in the low post with David West on his back!Also hit a hook!Gasol is at this age, the only decline is defense, offense and rebounding are still not a big problem, after all, the height is there.

David West also took the ball here, turned around and made a throw!Returned one!Gasol is young and fashionable and can't guard against David West, and now he can't guard against it!

After 4 minutes of the game, the Lakers took back all the starters, and Presti also replaced the starters!

In the duel of the rotation lineup, the Lakers not only failed to narrow the point difference, but expanded the point difference to 10 points!
After returning from the timeout, Kobe took the ball and walked to the right, leaning against Thompson at 45 degrees on the right!Still low singles!Lean and turn over and lean back!Hit! .

Presti didn't lament either, Kobe's shots are really picturesque, but Presti is not afraid of this kind of ball at all!This kind of ball can't kill people. In the small ball era of the previous life, this kind of scoring method had a relatively low failure rate.

This kind of ball is not a critical moment. Presti does not intend to double-team, because once double-teamed, there will be a gap. Although the Lakers' three-pointers are not good, once they are shot, they still feel quite a headache.

Because of the Hornets' defense, the Lakers don't have much to do, they can only play this kind of wireless singles, but the Hornets are different. The outside shooting rate is so high that the Lakers dare not shrink or double-team. The Hornets' tactics are much richer.

Davis' low post attracted Howard's defense, Curry passed to Green, Green continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and other players began to run!Curry is in the left corner, and Thompson is in the right corner!

Paul George came out, Artest chased and defended, Green handed Paul George a hand, and at the same time covered for him, blocking Artest, Gasol couldn't get out at all!Throw three points!Still in! .

Artest's athletic ability is no longer able to defend small forwards like Paul George. Artest can be said to be a colander at present, but when it comes to colanders, Gasol and Nash count, three colanders, plus the offense is not top-notch. One can imagine why the Lakers, known as F4, almost couldn't even make the playoffs.

The Lakers attacked, and Nash took it to the frontcourt to pass Kobe. The Lakers still didn't cooperate. The Hornets' defense is so simple, man-to-man, giving you a chance to play one-on-one!But it is impossible for Kobe to play singles all the time!Kobe passes back to Nash!

Nash's current breakthrough is still possible, but the speed is not as good as before. Although Curry's defense is called scum, there is one thing that is good, that is, positive!Besides, with Curry's conditions, it is still possible to defend Nash!
Nash breakthrough!Gasol came to cover, did Green immediately delay Gasol, Curry squeezed through the screen, and the defense repositioned!Nash continues to call Gasol!Gasol continues to cover!

This time it was not delayed, Curry and Green immediately switched defenses!Green defends Nash!Curry defends Gasol!

Gasol squeezed back, and Nash immediately transferred the ball over!Gasol easily got the ball, this kind of ball is very sure, but he ran into Davis with explosive athletic ability!Turn around and shoot!Davis directly and quickly made up the defense!Slap the ball out of bounds!

"Except for Curry who is not an excellent defender, the other positions are all defensive players!" Presti secretly thought, this Hornets team is top-notch in both offense and defense!

The Lakers took a sideline ball, Nash received the ball and gave it to the low post Howard, who received the ball and planned to "beat" Davis with force!Sit down and hit the top!Davis is 225 pounds and Howard is 265 pounds. Davis really can't stand Howard!But Howard couldn't make a direct dunk!The height and wingspan of the thick eyebrows prevent Howard from relying on his strength advantage to create space to comfortably put the ball into the basket and miss the hook!

Rebound fight!Although Green stuck Gasol, Gasol's height and wingspan are still advantages!After getting it, Kobe immediately pointed out the outside line!Kobe catches the ball and shoots right away!Missed three points!Davis gets the rebound!

The Hornets attacked, Curry took it to the frontcourt to pass to Paul George, and Paul George held the ball to face Artest!Choose singles this time!Continuous crossover!Start accelerating!Flash out of space!Comfortable distance!shot!Return!

This kind of ball is basically the same as in practice, it is an open shot!Howard was pulled out by Davis, and he couldn't make up the defense at all!At present, Davis is also a major advantage against other teams in the league.

Now is not the era of small balls. The centers of many teams do not have this kind of shooting ability. They are still heavy centers, protecting the frame, grabbing rebounds, and eating cakes!And now the Hornets have Davis to pull out the opponent's center!It is OK to choose to cast in yourself or to break through the inside line!
The Lakers are still playing singles. It is difficult to have tactics against a team like the Hornets. Kobe holds the ball at the top of the arc to face Thompson!Strong suddenly go to the right!Presti said before the game that if Kobe breaks through, he will only give help defense when he is deep in the position, otherwise he will defend alone!
Thompson followed, and Davis didn't make a save!Still defending Howard, go straight to the middle distance!Go in!
This kind of goal is scored, and there is no big threat to the Hornets.

Curry held the ball to the top of the arc, Davis came to cover, this time a simple direct three-pointer!Miss!Long rebounds!The outsiders are all Hornets!Thompson got it, and Kobe knew Thompson's shooting percentage, so he kept defending and gave it to Curry on the right!Come on, continue to three points!

Swish!Hit this time! !
Kobe fell low, still Thompson defended, turned over and leaned back!Miss!Kobe is tired too!

Looking at the ball, Presti remembered the interesting words of Kohei in his previous life, and sighed!Two lifts turn into cover, three lifts turn into two irons, four lifts turn into three irons!

Davis got the rebound and gave it to Curry!Curry quickly went to the frontcourt and gave it to Davis!Thompson ran over without the ball!Kobe chased and defended, Davis immediately made a screen and blocked Kobe!Another perfect shooting environment!Three points still!There is still!The Lakers are completely helpless!

Gasol asked for the ball in the frontcourt. Green knew that once he went deep into the basket, he would be unable to defend, so he blocked Gasol from behind and kept him away from his comfortable position. Gasol was pushed very uncomfortable.Miss!

In fact, it is difficult for Green to defend Gasol, but sometimes he can perform unexpectedly. In his previous life, Green defended Gasol very well. Of course, the movements of his hands must be indispensable.

Davis got the rebound and gave it to Curry!Curry takes the frontcourt and faces Nash!This time there is no pick-and-roll, just break through and get to the basket easily!Gasol can't help defend directly!Howard is late too!Layup hit!

The Lakers attack, Howard asks for the ball in the low post, try again!Push it up and turn around to slip the bottom line!But, this is Davis!In the previous life, he was also a dopy competitor, but Howard didn't pass, so he fought again!Push it and turn around!This time passed!but! !Green came quickly to help defend!a cap!

Snapped!Snapped!Presti couldn't help applauding, Green's defense ability is absolutely top-notch!This defense is so beautiful!Paul George gets the rebound!Quickly lead the field!Artest can't keep up!
Go straight to the top of the arc and chase for a three-pointer!No hit!Presti couldn't help but covered his face. Paul George's shooting rate is really not high for this kind of chasing three-pointer!Fortunately, the long rebound!Paul George got it!To the running Thompson!
Thompson took the ball and shot directly!Presti gave Thompson this kind of right, no need to adjust, and no matter whether there is a defender or not, just take the ball and throw it when you feel it!Of course, many people don’t understand this kind of right. After all, Thompson is just a role player with better three-pointers and better defense. But Presti from his previous life knows that Thompson has 37 points in a single quarter, 60 points in three quarters, and 12 three-pointers.

The point difference has come to 16 points!The Lakers had to pause!At this time, the center of Siputai was a little quiet. They did not expect that not only would there be no revenge, but the gap between them and the other party would grow wider and wider!
After the timeout ended, the Lakers' offense still did not improve. They could only attack in position, and then there was no coordination in attack in position. They could only play singles by stars!And the singles efficiency is really average except for Kobe!
科比打到现在已经13投中8了！砍下了20分！可以说是非常出色了！但是其他球员呢？加索尔8投中5的12分，霍华德7中2得6分，其中罚球7中2！而纳什则是拿下6分4助攻！其他球员则是更惨，没有一个过6分的。

There is no way Kobe can still play singles!This time, choose the face frame and directly hit the shot!Miss!Kobe is tired too!Green got the rebound and advanced to the frontcourt by himself, while the players were running!
Although Kobe is 34 years old, he can still keep up with Thompson, Artest and Nash can't keep up with Paul George and Curry at all!Curry out!The ball is passed immediately!Catch and throw!besides!

Here Kobe singles out again with the ball!Face frame cast!This time, but the Hornets took three-pointers and three-pointers, and the Lakers' two-pointers were useless at all!Curry led the frontcourt, moved to the left, Green fought at the top of the arc, Gasol still couldn't come, pass the ball to Green!There is a large space of more than one meter!It's time to practice!Three point shot!Have! ! !Hi, Green has made 2 of 2 three-pointers!
On the last attack, Kobe took the ball to the frontcourt, and pulled it out at the top of the arc! answerball! !Returned one!The Hornets led the Lakers by 60 points at 45:15 at halftime!
"The Lakers are not the Hornets' opponents at all. Why do I feel that the Lakers lineup is not as good as last season?"

"The Lakers are too old, the defense can't be watched at all!"

"This kind of defense can't play against the Hornets' top offense in the league!"

"There is only one way for the Lakers to win, and that is to open all three points, or there is no game!"

···········
This game has attracted the attention of many fans, and naturally there are many analyzes. After today's game, their expectation of the Lakers' championship has been transformed into the Western Conference Finals and even the Semifinals!

Of course, there are also some so-called pessimistic fans who think that it is enough to make it to the playoffs, but it is precisely these people who understand football.

During the intermission, Presti said to the players: "After the game started, we accelerated our offensive rhythm. The Lakers players are too old to afford it. I guess they will be out of breath in half a quarter!"

Immediately, there was laughter in the locker room, and Presti went on to say: "Once the opponent misses a shot, grab the rebound and immediately launch a fast break! Try to let Curry take the main position of the rebound. Curry's dribbling rhythm is completely OK, and immediately rush to me after getting the ball. Thompson and Paul George are on both sides.

"Haha" the players suddenly laughed, they believed in Presti's words.

On the other side, the Lakers locker room is dull. To be honest, there is really no good way. I can only pray that the Hornets will not feel good. The Lakers lack someone who can tear up the defense.

The second half began quickly, Curry held the ball to the top of the arc, Davis screened, and shot directly!Hit!It's so accurate!
Nash dribbled the ball to Gasol, Gasol got the ball in the low post, and Green went to the top!

I have to say that Green worked very hard, but there are gaps in tonnage, strength, and height!The whistle blew, and Green made a defensive foul!Gasol outside serve!
Kobe received the ball, faced Thompson, broke through with the ball, halftime, Kobe's physical strength recovered slightly, at this time, the Hornets began to appear to help defend!Layup missed!Davis gets the rebound!Quick to Curry!
Curry takes the ball and rushes forward!At the top of the arc, Nash couldn't keep up and chased for a three-pointer!Miss!Get the long rebound!Reorganize the attack!
Green continued to play point forward in the middle, and Thompson and Paul George opened up on both sides!The Lakers didn't dare to let it go at all. Davis stood in the low post and attracted Howard's defense. Curry and Nash formed a one-on-one!

Breakthrough, pass!too easy!to the basket!It's too late for Howard to help defend!Layup again! .

The Lakers attacked, Gasol played a pick-and-roll for Nash, Nash used the cover to break through to the left, attracted a switch and then assigned it to Gasol in the middle!In fact, this position can be voted for!But Gasol caught the ball and went to the basket, wanting to stabilize, because at this time the shooting rate must be improved!At this time, the Hornets double-teamed decisively, and Davis and Green double-teamed over!Howard wanted the ball, but the passing route was blocked, so he had to score outside!Artest!

Three-point shot, don't think about it, hit the iron!
Paul George got the rebound and counterattacked!The same is true for other Hornets players!The Lakers can't keep up!
At the top of the arc, Kobe followed up with great difficulty and did not give Curry room to shoot, but others did not keep up, and the other Hornets players had already settled down!Divide Thompson on the left again!Empty seats are equal to sending points for Thompson!Get the three points!

On the Lakers side, Kobe took the ball and leaned against Thompson, steady, and Paul George resolutely double-teamed him!no space!Then divide the outside Artest!Paul George quickly defended the past!
There is space, Paul George has no time to make up the defense!But so what if there is space, you can't make it!Strike the iron!

Curry gets the rebound!Counterattack!The three of them attack fast!And the only ones chasing and defending are Howard and Kobe!And the one running at the front is Davis!A modern center who can eat cakes!Attract the defense!Throw it straight into the air!
Davis took the ball and dunked directly! ! !The point difference came to 20 points! !

The Lakers pause again!The game took,
