Chapter 327
Philadelphia attacked, and Channing came out to catch the ball as soon as halftime passed, and dribbled to the left with Kobe on his back. As soon as he got close to the three-point line, Ariza came over to double-team.

Channing still controlled the basketball very well under the attack of the two, but he didn't dare to be unlucky. After all, Kobe and Ariza's defensive skills are very good, especially Ariza, who is young, has good athletic ability and has a long wingspan It is also long, with one top and one dig, which is still relatively difficult to deal with.

Double-teaming is a test of the ability to quickly play the ball. Pietrus got a wide open. Channing escaped the robbery with a change of rhythm and immediately passed the ball to Pietrus.

Gasol moved out for the first time to defend, Pietrus feinted, took a step in, and then missed a mid-range jumper.

The Lakers achieved their goal of double-teaming. Although they failed to drop the ball directly from Channing, they forced Channing to hand over the offensive ball to Pietrus and other players who are not good at attacking with the ball. Philadelphia The team's offensive fluency and shooting percentage will definitely drop significantly.

There is no way around it. The Lakers use double-teaming and fast rotation defense to target Philadelphia's transfer of the ball. It is a huge test for both sides. You can seize the initiative of this round.

In the first round of the second quarter, the Lakers had the upper hand.

The Lakers attacked, Coach Cheeks decisively made tactical gestures, and the Philadelphia team also began to double-team.

Kobe was entangled by Channing, trying to slip the bottom line to break through but failed, and was double-teamed by Channing and Pietrus when he came out. Kobe passed the ball to Ariza who was on the road.

Ibaka made a decisive save and interfered with Ariza's shooting. This three-pointer hit the iron.

The inside Lakers grabbed the first two, Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound and scored the ball. At 28:21, the Lakers continued to chase points.

"From the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers continued to chase points. The Lakers have Kobe and Gasol who can handle the ball, while Philadelphia only has Channing. Facing the Lakers' double-team tactics, the other Philadelphia players Need to turn the ball from Channing into a score as soon as possible!"

Director Zhang Lili was a little anxious, but Coach Cheeks still held his breath and did not bring Dayao up in advance. He still wanted to observe one or two more rounds.

The Philadelphia team attacked, and Kyle Lowry slowly pushed the ball forward. Channing gestured at his teammates, meaning to run actively without the ball and cover each other, and at the same time signaled to create more for Kyle Lowry. Opportunity, after all, among the current five players on the court, except for Channing, only Lowry has the ability to handle the ball.

Kyle Lowry felt Channing's trust, and he became more confident.

Handing over to Channing, Lowry helped Channing block a little at the same time, and then moved to the right.

At the same time, Channing broke through to the left, attracting Ariza's double-team.

Pietrus, who was wide open, moved to the center, and Gasol was always watching him, ready to rush out to interfere at any time.

Unexpectedly, Pietrus suddenly changed the direction of movement, turned to the right, and at the same time Lowry slammed on the brakes and ran towards the middle.

Pietrus blocked Farmar and Channing's pass was in place and flew into the hands of Kyle Lowry at the same time.

Gasol was inaccurate for a moment, and Lowry had already completed the shot.

Channing's trust made Lowry's three-pointer extremely decisive.

Swipe, hit a three-pointer!

Kyle Lowry smiled confidently. From basically being unable to play in the Grizzlies last season, to coming off the bench in Philadelphia last year, to the starting point guard this season, Kyle Lowry, step by step, finally There is a chance to shine on the stage of the finals.

"Beautiful! As I said a long time ago, the sky is your limit!"

Channing and Lowry gave warm high-fives to celebrate. With this three-pointer, the score came to 31:21, and the point difference returned to double digits. Channing also got an assist.

More importantly, the Philadelphia team has found a way to break the Lakers double team.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe passed the ball under the double-teaming of the two, Gasol succeeded in taking Ibaka alone, the Lakers' offense went smoothly during this period, 31:23.

Gasol is a very strong point. He can play pick-and-roll with Kobe, can eat alone, and can catch rebounds and shoot mid-range. Once Kobe chooses to pass the ball to Gasol, it is really a headache.

However, the Philadelphia team's offense is also back on track. Channing encounters a double-team and passes the ball to Lowry. Lowry breaks through and then distributes the ball to the outside line.

Kobe and Gasol pick and roll. After Gasol made a high-post mid-range jumper, Channing made another breakthrough on the left side and brought it to the bottom line. After attracting Gasol to double-team, Channing returned the ball and assisted Ibaka. Jumper made, 36:25.

Philadelphia played good offensive cooperation in a row, with two three-pointers and one mid-range shot. Among them, Channing directly sent two assists, and one was a chance after Kyle Lowry made a transfer.

After Channing opened the first quarter by himself, he chose to trust his teammates in the second quarter, and the good performance of Kyle Lowry and others led the Philadelphia 76ers to continuously increase points. It can be said that this also declared the Lakers double team strategy. fail.

Phil Jackson waved his hand, signaling the players to stop being so active in double-teaming and focus on the offensive end.

The two teams began to attack and defend normally. The role players of the Philadelphia team no longer had easy open opportunities. The offensive ball was concentrated on Channing again. It seemed a little difficult for him to cooperate with Biao Bryant and Gasol alone. .

In the last 5 minutes of the first half, Yao Ming appeared again, which greatly relieved the pressure on Channing.

After Yao Ming came on the stage, Channing had a lot more options for pick-and-roll offense. He didn't have to try his best to break through to finish every time, and passing to Yao Ming was also a very reliable choice.

The cash cow combination played against the Biao Kobe Gasol combination. The energetic Dayao showed enough dominance. Gasol quickly accumulated 3 fouls.

With the outstanding performance of the cash cow, at the end of the first half, the Philadelphia team led the Lakers by 49 points 37:12.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Kobe felt very depressed. It had been a long time since he had seen a guy who could compete with him like this. Channing's firepower output in the first half surprised Kobe.

Whether it's one-on-one singles, double-teaming with Ariza, or the help of Gasol and Bynum on the inside, Channing can deal with it very freely. Divide the ball to assist teammates to score at the right time.

What made Kobe even more embarrassed was Channing's three-pointer.

This guy is 2 meters tall, and he can imagine shooting three-pointers at any time like a guard, and his shooting percentage is surprisingly high, which is really difficult to defend.
