Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 246 Honey Juice Rotation
Back on the court, Garnett sent the ball to the baseline, Kobe and Wade went out one by one, Prince and Ginobili followed closely.

As a result, Garnett threw the ball into the sky while the Spurs players were focusing on Kobe and Wade. Nene descended from the sky, took off through Malik Rose, flicked the ball, and clicked into the basket .

Not stuck, Malik Rose hammered the basket in frustration.

However, Ginobili's sudden outburst brought great help to the Spurs and relieved Duncan's pressure. After receiving Duncan's point, Yaodao took a strange snake-like dance to forcefully kill the basket, resulting in a failure of the defense. Garnett made a foul, and the basketball he threw casually before falling to the ground actually bumped into the basket.

Ginobili also made an extra penalty to tie the score at 26-32.

But Wade refused to let Ginobili dominate. After receiving the Kobe score, he quickly swung left and right, got rid of Ginobili, and rushed to the inside of the Spurs. Duncan rushed to assist the Spurs immediately. Defend.

Wade forcibly took off, Ginobili behind him took the ball, but grabbed Wade's arm, Wade threw it casually before falling to the ground, and after the basketball hit the board, it fell into the basket accurately, using two plus one Return color.

Wade plus... misses.

Ginobili was fouled three times, but Popovich didn't seem to want to replace him. Now the only one who can continue to support Duncan is the Demon Sword. If he doesn't stay on the court at this time, the point difference will widen in the second half. There's no point in coming back.The Spurs actively made personnel adjustments. Parker replaced Prince, Rasheed Wallace replaced Turkoglu, and put Malik Rose in the third position, preparing to defend Battier, who has no independent offensive ability. .

In the next round, Zen Master responded by replacing Battier with Billups, maintaining the ability to score independently at three points on the outside.

The effect of this substitution was immediate. The Lakers quickly passed the ball to Kobe, allowing him to single-handedly hit Malik Rose. Malik Rose could defend against O'Neal, but Kobe couldn't keep up with Kobe's footsteps alone. Kobe easily stunned Rose. , and the picturesque step back made a mid-range shot.

Popovich had no choice but to readjust the lineup with a wave of his hand, so Prince had to return to the court after sitting on the bench for a round and continue to mark Kobe.

During this period of time, it was Nene who defended Duncan, and the Spurs immediately put their offensive focus back on Duncan.

Although Duncan made frequent hits, the Lakers launched a fierce attack on Ginobili who fouled three times. In order to stay on the field, Yaodao shrank defensively. Wade's breakthrough effect was also good. With about 6 minutes left in the quarter, Bryant and Nene were replaced, and Artest and Battier reappeared.

The Spurs did not dare to replace Duncan, so the Lakers let Garnett stay on the court. Compared with Duncan, who has to take on a lot of tasks on both ends of the offense and defense, Garnett's burden on the offensive end is much lighter, and he can devote more energy to do a good job. Defensive sweep.

The camera showed Nene, who was replaced, the Brazilian was sweating profusely and panting. Obviously, the consumption of the ball in this half quarter was huge.

"The Lakers replaced Kobe, Phil Jackson's rotation is quite bold! Does he really think that the rookie Dwyane Wade can support the Lakers' offense during this time? Of course, Kobe can use this time to recover Physical strength, to better deal with the second half of the game, but the gap of 6 points is not safe. We have seen too many games where the situation on the court was out of control due to rotation problems, and finally reversed. I hope Phil Jackson's This decision will not make him regret it!" Kenny Smith had some opinions on Zen Master's substitution decision.

"I don't understand what he thinks. When I played games back then, I wished I could play 48 minutes every game. Anyway, after retiring, I have plenty of time to rest." Barkley even sneered at this.

"Jeff, what do you think?" Jim smiled slightly when he saw Zen master's replacement.

"If it were me, I might not have the guts to replace Kobe at this point in time, but after my observations during this period, the team's offensive system needs a lot of off-ball running to involve defense, so it still consumes a lot of energy. Maybe Kevin is slightly better at this point, and he spends more time supporting the ball." In Jim's office, Bzdelik frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

Sometimes there's a fine line between daring and rogue rotation, and when your name is Phil Jackson and you've got double-digit championship rings, it makes sense to switch players, and if Your name is Byron Scott or Mike Brown, so your best bet is to honestly put the best player on your team on the field and give him the damn ball and maybe still get Best Coach Award.

After Kobe left the court, the Lakers' tempo slowed down slightly. Obviously, Zen Master didn't want to be counterattacked by the opponent to chase points quickly because of a hasty attack. Billups began to take the initiative to go to the low post to use his weight advantage to force Parker, which seemed to be the main attack point of the Lakers. .

Parker can only use fouls to stop Billups, but the rule in 04 is that after a foul, the offensive time returns to 24 seconds. In this way, Billups spent more than 40 seconds in one round, allowing the The Spurs, eager to chase points, have nothing to do in a hurry.

The Spurs tried to get other players to participate in the offense, but Rasheed Wallace was not effective against Garnett singles, Prince was not strong in attacking independently, Parker felt cold, and the Spurs could only rely on Duncan and Ginobili performance to chase points.

Under Artest's stalking, Duncan carried the Spurs forward with difficulty. At the end of the first half, he scored 15 points on 8 of 21 shots.

The Lakers forced Kobe to rest until the end of the second quarter, and the starting four played with Wade for the rest of the time. However, relying on the performance of Billups and Wade, the Lakers still stabilized their lead. The score of 51 went into the halftime break.

Although the Spurs home crowd cheered desperately for the team as always, the point difference did not seem to be big, and it could be recovered in the second half, but Popovich couldn't relax.

Duncan almost achieved the ultimate, supporting the team on both offense and defense under the wheel of the Lakers' front line group, but the team's configuration is still much worse than that of the Lakers. Parker's immaturity is undoubtedly revealed. Garnett was almost completely frozen in the middle, Turkoglu had no offense and no defense, Prince had a strong defense and weak offense, Ginobili was a demigod, and there was only one Malik Rose who could enter the rotation, and the others were not connected at all. There is no qualification to play in this kind of game. As soon as you play, it will immediately become 5v4.

But the Lakers can safely leave Kobe on the bench, accumulate energy to play in the second half, and reap the game.

　Watching my Lakers game at the beginning of the season, a few young people are a bit hot-eyed...
