Chapter 205 Ups and downs of the game

This "Christmas War" can be said to be a weird game.

The audience was looking forward to this game. They wanted to know whether it was the Lakers' strong lineup or the Cavaliers' strong lineup. As a result, the two teams gave them a surprise game.

At the beginning, Wu Di actually lost his mind on the field. You must know that Wu Di is an extremely focused player on the field. It is a big news that his mind is absent.And because of Wu Di's distraction, Bynum was fouled by James.

Three minutes later, Wu Di was "woke up" by Kobe, and began to show his normal strength. He had a one-on-one duel with James, and the two sides could be said to be on par.

Fans were happy with the matchup, and James often had the upper hand against Bryant after he passed his prime.Now Wu Di can even tie with James, which shows that the Lakers have players who can limit James. In addition to the still very strong Kobe and the insider Gasol, Lakers fans are very satisfied with this game.

But then O'Neal exploded and stole everyone's thunder.The big shark beat the little shark violently, and the Lakers fans actually saw his former style from O'Neal.This is both a comfort and an irony for the old fans.

The good news is that O'Neal showed his arrogance when he was still in the OK combination. Ironically, the domineering O'Neal is no longer a player of the Lakers, but came to play against the Lakers.In this way, the old fans will be embarrassed, they don't know whether to applaud O'Neal.

After playing for a quarter, O'Neal suddenly lost his glory. James took over the Cavaliers' players and broke out again.

James defeated the Lakers alone, and the Cavaliers' score even surpassed the Lakers' score for a time.In the end, if it weren't for the seamless cooperation between Kobe and Wu Di, it would be impossible for the Lakers to catch up at the end.

Of course, the referee of today's game also made the fans feel very angry. The star whistle was too serious and directly blew off the two insiders of the Lakers.

Without a strong inside line, it is basically difficult to stop James.

Fortunately, Wu Di made a successful dunk in the end, dragging the game into overtime.

After entering overtime, Wu Di shot a three-pointer on the court, and it was still a welcome shot.Fans feel that Wu Di's touch is overwhelming, because generally Wu Di will not choose this difficult shooting method. Once Wu Di chooses this shooting method, it basically means that Wu Di has a good touch.

The Cavaliers' offense was frustrated, the Lakers served again, Wu Di organized from the outside, and Gasol came over to pick and roll Wu Di.Wu Di threw off James and rushed into the inside line, Big Z followed up, and Wu Di immediately passed back to Gasol.

Gasol caught the ball and faced James, and James tried hard to block Gasol.At this time, Kobe rushed out from behind Gasol and rushed inside from James. Anthony Parker was blocked by Gasol.

James had a difficult time. He didn't know whether to choose to keep up with Kobe or continue to watch Gasol, because no matter who he chooses, the other is likely to score.

In an instant, James chose to give up Gasol and keep up with Kobe.Seeing James approaching, Gasol immediately jumped up and shot.

Gasol made a shot.

James was a little desperate. He found that the Lakers' tactics had changed. It was not the Lakers' usual triangle tactics, but a double pick-and-roll.This tactic requires three scorers to complete. It is difficult for the Cavaliers to use this tactic, but the Lakers can easily use it.

This tactic is not unbreakable, as long as three defensive players who can defend the inside and outside can limit this tactic.However, the Cavaliers don't have so many defensive players who can defend both inside and outside. The Cavaliers only have James and JJ Hickson.

Without three defensive players, it is difficult for the Cavaliers to limit this tactic, and the remaining player can score.

James organized the offense again, and the Lakers' defense was still very strong. Although James succeeded in overpowering Gasol in the end, he consumed a lot of energy.

The Lakers attacked again, and again it was a double pick-and-roll tactic. Wu Di went inside, passed from the basket to the bottom corner, and hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

The score difference came to 6 points, and the pressure on the Cavaliers increased.During the offense, Maurice Williams suddenly made a pass error and was intercepted by Kobe Bryant. Then the Lakers started a fast break.

The score difference became 8 points, and the Cavaliers attacked again.James continued to attack the inside. This time Wu Di rushed up from behind and blocked James' layup with a slap.The Lakers once again achieved a fast break and widened the point difference to 10 points.

The morale of the Cavaliers fell to the bottom, but the morale of the Lakers reached its peak.Facing a 10-point difference, the Cavaliers were like facing a gap, which they couldn't cross no matter what.

The Lakers won the game, but the game isn't over yet.At the post-match press conference, Zen master expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee's abuse of power in a subtle way.If it weren't for the referee's random judgment, the Lakers would have won the game without having to play overtime.

Indeed, the referees of this game went too far, and even Zen Master, who has always been well-trained, couldn't help but bombard them.

But all of this has no effect on the referees. If Zen Master hadn't just expressed his dissatisfaction in a subtle way, he might have been fined by the league.This is also the strength of the Zen master. He knows what to say and what not to say.

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Lakers fans celebrated very enthusiastically. They believed that such a Lakers could defend the championship. They seemed to have seen that when the season starts next year, the Staples Center will welcome the championship trophy again.

With the momentum of the big win over the Cavaliers, the Lakers beat the Kings back to back on the 27th. The game on the 26th consumed too much physical energy for the Lakers, otherwise it would not take much time to deal with a weak team like the Kings, and the game could end in three quarters.

On the 29th, the Lakers played away against the Suns.

The consecutive games consumed too much physical energy for the Lakers, and the Suns played at the level of the previous two seasons in this game.Wu Di is the Lakers' best saver. Wu Di played 44 minutes in this game and scored 46 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds, but he still couldn't help the Lakers win.

The six Suns scored in double figures, Nash 18 points, Stoudemire 16 points, Barbosa 12 points, Jason Richardson 13 points, Grant Hill 15 points, Channing Frye 10 points, relying on the team to win the victory lakers.

On the 30th, back-to-back games against the Warriors, the bad schedule made the Lakers enter a period of weakness after a big victory, and lost the second game at home.
