Chapter 134 133. James has another idea?

So under the watchful eyes of all the fans, Tang De enjoyed the treatment that only superstars can have.

James and Kobe pulled Tang De up from the ground, one on the left and one on the right.

At this time, the domestic fans sitting in front of the screen were so excited that they would have smashed their computers and mobile phones if they were not too poor...

Still poor, can't afford it.

When he came back, Tang De shook his shoulders and walked to the free throw line, made some adjustments to complete the free throw, and made a steady hit.

For two consecutive rounds, an outside three-pointer and a 2+1, Tang De scored 6 points in a row, helping the Lakers narrow the point difference 45:48.

The Heat attacked. According to Kobe's suggestion, Tang De went to guard James. Tang De really didn't want to defend James, because it was too exhausting, but there was no way that no one on the Lakers could guard James except him.

You can't expect Kobe, an old man with old arms and legs, to defend, right?Gasol is even worse, his movement speed can't keep up with James.

Norris Cole drives the ball, and this guy is also a defensive short point guard who was also a strong player in his four years in college.

In four seasons at Cleveland State University, Norris Cole played 140 games, including 106 starts, averaging 14.1 points, 3.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.48 steals per game.

In addition, Cole also set a series of records during his college years. His consecutive appearances, consecutive starts and playing time are all the first in team history.

So, none of the players who can enter the NBA is simple, and there is always something stronger than others.

And Cole is also the first player in the history of the Horizon League to win both the best player and the defensive player of the year awards in the same season.

Cole held the ball from the outside, facing Kobe's defense, he did not choose to play by himself. After all, it is not his turn to play singles in the Heat's lineup.

Wade came up to catch the ball hand-in-hand, Meeks came up to mark, and Wade lobbed to Bosh under the basket.

Bosh played a post-up single, Whiteside defended in place, missed, grabbed the rebound and threw it to Kobe.

When Kobe went to the frontcourt, Gasol set up a low position and signaled for the ball, but because Wade reacted quickly and went around in front of Gasol, this directly caused Kobe to fail to pass the ball in the first time.

"Kobe is too slow to pass the ball. If he can pass it in at the first time, Gasol can play Battier in a misplaced position."

Not finding a good chance to pass the ball, Kobe singled Cole with the ball from the outside. After changing direction continuously, he stepped back and made a mid-range shot.

Still... short.

Fortunately, Baibian took the offensive rebound again and passed the ball back to Kobe.

In terms of rebounding ability alone, Bosh is really not as good as Whiteside. You must know that Bosh has averaged less than 7 rebounds per game so far this season, but what about Whiteside?

Already averaging 12.3 rebounds per game, ranking second in the league.

Tang De ran out, received a pass from Kobe on the right side of the top of the arc, and faced James.

There is no way, what should be fought still has to be fought.

Kobe's offense is not effective, and now he can only rely on Tang De.

Tang De holds the ball in both hands, doing the "three threats" action.

After probing back and forth a few times, he took out his housekeeping skills and relied on a quick first step to rush James.

Tang De still couldn't completely get rid of James' defense in this attack, and he still made a strong shot.

"Duang!"

Strike the iron, blow the whistle.

James tried to block the shot behind Tang De, but failed, hitting Tang De's right hand.

Two free throw opportunities.

TNT commentary seats.

Barkley: "Don has been trying to single James. Although he missed this time, he also got him a chance to go to the free throw line. This is also a very smart way of playing!"

Penguin Sports Live.

Wang Meng: "Tang De played really hard today. He challenged James twice on the offensive end and succeeded in both. But the same problem was in front of him again. It still took too much energy for him to fight like this. After all, he still Going to guard James."

Weiping: "I believe Kobe will be able to stand up, and he will be able to share the pressure for Tang De."

Yang Yi: "Kobe has only come back for the first game. We really can't ask him to do much. Finding the state of the game is what he needs to do most now!"

With his hands on his hips, looking at Tang De standing on the free throw line, James fell into deep thought, maybe he had something else in his mind...

While speaking, Tang De had already completed free throws, making one of two free throws.

46:48, still two points away.

With 1 minute and 48 seconds left in the second quarter, Kobe finally scored a post-up single, and finally scored in this quarter.

Then... Then he was replaced by D'Antoni again. There was nothing to do. D'Antoni really didn't dare to let him play for too long now.

If there is no accident, Kobe will be able to play a maximum of 20 minutes per game in the future.

Although D'Antoni is a well-known dead-fucking main coach in the league, it depends on the specific situation. For Kobe, he can't afford it...

The last minute or so of the second quarter was quickly over. Since Wade made a three-pointer at the buzzer, halftime ended, and the Lakers were still 5 points behind.

In the second quarter, Tang De continued his consistent performance and scored 9 points again.

Tang scored another 19 points in the half game. Under the premise of facing James' defense, such a performance is nothing to say.

TNT commentary seats.

Barkley: "Maybe our defending champions are really going to overturn tonight. They only gained a 5-point advantage after halftime. This is not a small gap from their previous performance."

Kenny Smith: "The main reason is that the Lakers also played very well tonight. Tang De's continuous singles can always cause damage, and now for the Heat, they have a big problem inside. In the half game, they let The Lakers grabbed 8 offensive rebounds, and the Lakers grabbed 10 more rebounds than them at halftime!"

O'Neill: "As I said earlier, this big man in LA is really amazing. Give this little guy some more time to hone his inside skills. He is a real inside killer!"

Penguin Sports Live.

Wang Meng: "For Kobe's halftime performance, Director Zhang, do you have anything to say?"

Wei Ping: "Kobe played about 10 minutes in the half, and I think the data of 7 points and 4 assists is already very good. His shooting percentage is very poor, only 10 of 3 shots. It is obvious that he is still looking for a game. Feel!"

Wang Meng: "Facing the defending champion Heat, the Lakers were only 5 points behind in the half game. What do the two teachers think is the merit of their performance in the first half? Or if they want to fight this game If so, how should they adjust in the second half?"

Yang Yi: "I don't think there is anything to adjust. They just continue to play like this. Kobe plays a role of containment, Tang De plays the role of the offensive end point, and the white side of the basket protects the rebound. If handled well, the three A point is enough for them to upset and win!"

Weiping: "Yes, in the first half, the Lakers had an absolute advantage inside, so I think in the second half of the game, in addition to allowing Tang De to continue playing singles, Baibian should be given more opportunities to attack at the basket! "
