Chapter 186. 185. Defensive Issues
When it was the Heat's turn to attack, Wade took the ball to the frontcourt, and Nick Young immediately blocked it.

However, Wade was not prepared to handle the ball by himself at all, and handed the ball directly to James, while he ran freely.

Nick Young had no choice but to follow Wade's movement.

James received the ball, and Tang De went straight to the top. Although James played the fourth position on the court, it was impossible for the Lakers to let Gasol, who was also the fourth position, defend him, because Gasol defended James and moved quickly. Impossible to keep up.

There is no good way to defend against James. Either use your body to force it, or force him to shoot from the outside as much as possible.

On the one hand, it is because once James rushes up, it is over, and there is no way to defend against it. Except for fouls, you can only watch him score.

In addition, compared with breakthroughs, James' outside shooting threat is much smaller. After all, James has not been accurate in three-pointers throughout his career.

Facing Tang De's defense, James did not attack by himself. James has always had the habit of helping his teammates find the touch, and then interspersed with his own attack. It is rare that when the game comes up, James directly A dry case with the ball.

The ball was given to Battier in the bottom corner, and Gasol took two steps out to interfere with Battier!

"Shh!"

Battier raised the knife in his hand and dropped it steadily.

3:2, the Heat overtook.

Su Junyang: "Gasol is a bit embarrassed today, the Lakers can't let him defend James, so he can only defend against Battier, but Battier's shots are almost all outside, and he is difficult to defend get out!"

Yang Yi: "Let's look at the situation again. I personally think it's better to let him defend James directly. He has the advantages of height and weight. Even if he can't keep up with James' speed, if James plays low, Gasol can still make a move. Yes, the most important thing is that once Tang De doesn't have to defend James, he will definitely perform better on the offensive end!"

Wang Meng: "I agree, I believe D'Antoni will do it soon!"

Back on the court, Tang De was holding the ball at the top of the arc, and Battier defended him.

Sure enough, James will not easily defend Tang De!

Battier still played the "blindfolded defense" routine. Tang De directly started to accelerate the breakthrough, and Battier quickly slid to defend.

Tang De directly scored Kobe.

After Kobe received the ball, he initiated a breakthrough again, and Chalmers followed up quickly.

Then Kobe passed the ball back to Tang De's hands. After going back and forth like this, a particularly funny scene appeared on the court.

Shane Battier chased Tang De, and Chalmers chased Kobe. The two directly collided with each other. I don't know who to guard against!
In the chaotic battle, Tang De stole the opportunity, made a breakthrough layup, and scored two points!

4:3, the Lakers overtook again!

The fans at Staples cheered for a moment, because Tang De and Kobe's cooperation was perfect this time, and they even played tricks on the opponent's two defenders!
What the Lakers fans want to say is: "I heard that you have a Big Three? Actually, we also have one, and we have two super giants!"

I have to say that the Lakers' offense was really perfect. Kobe and Tang De broke through and scored consecutively, disrupting the opponent's defensive rhythm, and in the chaos, Tang De easily made a layup.

But soon, the problem on the Lakers' side was exposed, and it was Gasol's problem.

Gasol's offense is no problem, no matter who he hits, he can get the ball in through excellent low post skills.

But on the defensive end, he can't guard Battier at all. Gasol's range of activities on the court is basically near the basket, that is, he occasionally appears on the outside.

But Battier is different. Battier is just the opposite of him. All his activities are basically outside the three-point line, especially the two corner three-point positions.

Such a whole, Gasol simply can not limit Battier, Battier in the first quarter of the game has not yet ended when he has already scored 3 three-pointers.

In this regard, Gasol also tried to defend James in the past, but the result was still sad.

James also owes enough. When the rest of the Lakers defend him, he rarely breaks through, and most of the offense is completed through mid-range shots.

But once Gasol came up to defend, he changed, and all offenses became breakthroughs!

It is conceivable what the result will be when the peak Zhan breaks old Gasol.

于是在距离第一节比赛还剩下4分24秒的时候，德安东尼叫停了比赛，此时湖人以18：24落后着6分。

Kenny Smith: "Paul (Gasol)'s offense is fine today, even against LeBron, he can still score in singles, but the defense is..."

Barkley: "It's embarrassing. Whether it's LeBron or Sean, Paul can't limit it. I think Coach D'Antoni will replace Paul in advance during this timeout!"

O'Neal: "D'Antoni actually has no one to replace, I think the Lakers can only play against the Heat tonight, play a faster pace, try to increase the number of rounds of the game, and then Hassan grabs rebounds crazily, this is The way the Lakers win!"

……

Indeed, as O'Neal said, the Lakers really have to fight offensively if they want to win. After all, it is impossible for a team like the Heat to completely defend them, because their offensive talent is too strong!
Even if you guard James, Wade, and Bosh, what's more, you can't guard James. Whether James wants to score is all up to him, and he can do whatever he wants!
So if you want to win the Heat by defense, it is almost impossible, unless you can defend the Big Three at the same time!

D'Antoni: "Listen Don, you don't want to guard LeBron, I want you to put all your physical energy on the offensive end, you know what I mean?"

D'Antoni's meaning is very clear, that is to step on the horse's defense. At this time, if you don't fight for offense, what kind of bicycle do you need...

"Kobe, you too, just try your best on the defensive end and put all your energy on the offense, because we can only have a chance to win them if we play crazy offense!" D'Antoni continued.

"Nick, keep running, we're counting on you for our three points!"

"Hassan, rebound! Rebound! The more rebounds you get, the more we can win the game!"

"Clark, next time you go on the court, you don't have to do anything. The only thing you have to do is to smash LeBron. I don't care what method you use. In short, you must guard against that guy!"

Although D'Antoni has repeatedly emphasized offense, in the final analysis, there must be some defense, such as the defense against James!
And Clark can't provide too much contribution on the offensive end, so it is the best arrangement for him to smash James.

……

……

D'Antoni kept making arrangements and instilling...poisonous chicken soup!

Su Junyang: "I don't know what adjustments D'Antoni will make this timeout. Now the Lakers have a big defensive problem."

Yang Yi: "I think he should replace Gasol in advance. After all, the biggest defensive problem of the Lakers lies in him!"
