Chapter 81 Successful Defense
There is one biggest difference between Totoro and other players now, and that is the blame.

However, this blame is still very different from the gorilla. Zhan Huang always likes to evade responsibility at critical moments, while Totoro likes to throw the blame in the first three quarters to ensure his hit rate and efficiency. When it's time to rely on the stars to decide the outcome, Chinchilla can't wait to save the team by himself.

Now facing the boss, Chinchilla feels that this opponent is not easy to deal with, so he will hand the ball to his teammates to solve it. Anyway, isn't there five people on the basketball court?He is still a cute rookie, and no one will criticize him when he passes the ball.

Lowry was caught off guard by a rare pass from Totoro, and without even thinking about it, he was about to dribble past the Lakers' backup guard Jordan Farmar to score.

But Lowry's choice is obviously a bit taken for granted. After rounds of experience, Derek Fisher can beat Farmer by a few blocks, but in terms of speed, Jordan Farmer can in turn beat the old fish.

Little Steel Cannon wanted to deal with Farmer in the same way that Little Black Bean dealt with Fisher, but of course it wouldn't work. Lowry was stopped by Farmar before he started, and he almost dropped the ball in his eagerness to break through. .

In desperation, Xiaogangpao had to use a foul shoulder-shoulder action to overturn the opponent. The referee Jiawei saw that this was the Toyota Center and did not call Lowry a foul.

Xiaogangpao got the space and took off to shoot. Unfortunately, the basketball knocked out of the frame and Donim took the main position. The Lakers successfully protected the rebound.

Recently, with the high-profile performance of Totoro, not only the fans have seen it clearly, but also the major league teams have also watched it carefully.

For example, Totoro has strong rebounding ability, accurate open shots, good blocks and steals but is prone to fouls, etc. These professional basketball coaches definitely understand more thoroughly than lay fans.

Before Totoro became famous, these teams would naturally not target him, and no one would work hard on the rookie, but when he no longer looked like a rookie, those teams would make some moves, this is the rookie The so-called "rookie wall".

The most effective way for a rookie to break through the rookie wall is to rely on his own performance to break through the restrictions imposed on him by other teams. During this period, the rookie has completed a breakthrough and thus upgraded to a more powerful player.

Of course, there will be many players who can't break through, so he is destined not to become an All-Star star. The upper limit is at most a starter, and it can't be higher.

The way the Lakers deal with the Totoro this year is to defend his first player close to the body, double-teamed by the two after being broken, and at the same time cut off his passing route as much as possible to prevent him from playing with the power of the ball.

It’s just that there is no tactic in this world that can completely block a person, just like when you double-team a player, another player will be vacated. If you restrict a player’s possession of the ball, it will definitely not restrict his offense without the ball. Totoro After observing the opponent's defensive strategy against him, he immediately knew how to attack.

But that can only be implemented in the next round. Now their primary goal is to let go of the Lakers' offense, otherwise the point difference will be 15+, and it will also be a huge blow to the confidence of other players. What is there to talk about without confidence? Comeback?
The Lakers used Kobe to defend the Totoro, and the defensive end Totoro is naturally a reciprocal dislocation to defend Kobe.

If you want Totoro to fight alone, it will definitely not be able to defeat the boss, but if it is only a round that does not allow the volute to score, Totoro is still very confident.

Kobe continued to cross step dribble, and Totoro remained unmoved by almost a body distance away from Kobe.

Anyway, he has long hands, although the opponent can't block the shot when he pulls it up, it can still cause a little interference.

The volute saw that the other party hadn't moved at all, so he immediately shook his shoulders, and the point where he dribbled the ball seemed to be on the left, but with a hook with his left hand, the ball obediently landed on the right side, which was a very confusing early change of direction , Totoro was indeed shaken so that the center of gravity moved a little to the left.

But at this time, the moment to reflect the physical fitness of the players is shown!

The speed of reaction, the strength of the lower body and the strength of the core are extremely strong. The Totoro started forcibly when the center of gravity was out of place. It almost stuck to the opponent after Peter Pan's first move. The strong body forced Kobe to stagnate. The volute unexpectedly Stopped by a rookie!

Kobe, who is extremely competitive, turned to the left to protect the ball with his body, and at the same time prepared to use his back to beg the opponent.

But Totoro didn't give him the chance to turn his back at all. He raised his hands to show the referee that he hadn't fouled. Then he used James' body to put pressure on the opponent all the time, arching his chest to push the volute. Squeezed outside the three-point line, offset all Kobe's efforts just 10 seconds ago.

Peter Pan was not discouraged, and Kobe, who was extremely competitive, was about to start again. At this time, he directly chose to break through from the left side of Totoro and overtake directly with his own speed.

But this fell into Totoro's arms.

You are better than skills, but it is purely a competition of physical fitness. Apart from staying in the air, Kobe, you are really not my opponent!

Totoro followed the volute with his excellent speed even if he was a shooting guard. No matter whether the volute ran from left to right or from right to left, he could not get rid of Totoro.

The shot clock seemed to be running out.

There were no pick-and-rolls or double-teams on both sides of the offense in this round. When did Kobe need a pick-and-roll to play?Moreover, he is still a shooting guard playing small forward, and the opponent is still a rookie. Even if the Lakers players are ashamed, Kobe is too embarrassed to pick and roll.
Annoyed and furious, the boss resorted to his biggest killer, a Los Angeles magic elbow hit Totoro's chest, ready to repel the opponent to create a little shooting space for himself.

And this time the referee really didn't blow the elbow. Small moves are also part of the NBA game, not to mention Kobe used his signature move?
However, the chinchilla with more than one million HP did not take half a step back. Instead, he stepped forward and slapped Volute's three-pointer who was about to hit the big luck to the sidelines.
