NBA bench saves national team

During the timeout, Vogel emphasized defense again, and emphasized that neither Qin Feng nor Kobe can defend, and must strictly guard against it.

Although the players nodded, they were all very helpless in their hearts.

In positional warfare, the defensive system can also be used to limit the Lakers' offense, but once the Lakers are allowed to play a defensive counterattack, it is difficult to limit it!

The main reason is that Hibbert and David West's movement speed is too slow.

When the Lakers set off a defensive counterattack, except for Gasol, the remaining four players can run to the frontcourt at an extremely fast speed, while the Pacers only have three players who can keep up with their speed.

As a result, every time the Lakers play a defensive counterattack, they can form a 4-on-3 situation, which makes the Pacers overwhelmed.

Really troubled.

However, as far as Vogel's arrangement just now is concerned, it seems that this situation is not taken seriously.

That being the case, we can only do our best to slow down the rhythm, and then fight positional warfare.

Pause back.

The Pacers attack.

George Hill controlled the ball at the top of the arc to organize the offense, while the other players were actively running.

The Pacers did not complete their tactics until there were only more than 24 seconds left in the 10-second attack time. Paul George used Hibbert's cover to run out to the outside line, received the basketball, and prepared to complete a three-point shot , As a result, he stepped on the line and became two points long.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Finally, the team's decline was stopped.

The Pacers quickly returned to defense and did not give the Lakers a chance to play fast.

After Lowry dribbled the ball quickly across the half, he found that there was no chance, so he also stabilized the rhythm and played positional warfare.

Kobe received the basketball in the low post and played Stephenson with a post-up. The latter was against Kobe and was still talking trash.

However, Kobe ignored it directly, turned around and made a fallback jumper.

Stephenson, who was obsessed with trash talking, didn't even react and jumped up to block the shot.

"Man, stop your trash talking! It's not working for me. I've been in this league for 18 years. What hasn't happened?"

Kobe said lightly, turned around and returned to defense.

Stephenson was a little depressed, and found that the mentality of these superstars was really stable!

Blowing James doesn't work, and talking trash to Kobe doesn't work either.

It is really difficult to influence the mentality of these superstars.

He turned his head and glanced at Qin Feng, knowing that Qin Feng was an exception, as long as he uttered a little trash talk, his mentality could be affected.

But Stephenson didn't dare to go forward and talk trash to Qin Feng, because Qin Feng retaliated.

I really can't afford it!

If this angered Qin Feng, he would have to lose the match if he didn't lose. After all, Qin Feng became crazy and refused to recognize his relatives, so he could play [-]v[-] normally.

So now the entire league has reached a consensus that Qin Feng must not be stimulated during the game, otherwise it will be miserable.

Stephenson didn't dare to provoke Qin Feng even though his brain was missing a string...

The shadow of the tree of names.

Qin Feng's temper is also well-known in the alliance.

The Pacers attack.

Stephenson hit the iron with a three-pointer.

After Antetokounmpo grabbed the rebound, he dribbled the ball quickly again.

The Pacers couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.

It was Kobe who received the basketball again, rushed to the penalty area and made a layup.

During this period of time, Antetokounmpo's assists also rose steadily.

The Pacers are showing signs of collapse on both ends of the floor.

On the sidelines, Lakers coach Cole sat on the bench indifferently, looking very relaxed.

Look.

There is no need to be too nervous.

When the Lakers play normally, they can already catch up with the score.

Hit to the middle of the third quarter.

The Lakers have extended their lead to 10 points.

beep.

The referee's whistle blows.

Vogel called a timeout again.

A single-digit lead and a double-digit lead are completely different concepts. At the beginning, Vogel was reluctant to call a timeout.

But now that they are leading by double digits, there is no chance to call a timeout.

Another adjustment was made.

The Pacers revived on both ends of the floor, playing a small climax in the final minutes and recovering some points.

The third quarter is over.

93: 87.

The Lakers lead by 6 point.

This is also the first time this season that the Lakers have entered the fourth quarter with a single-digit lead.

The beginning of the fourth quarter.

Both sides are rotation lineups.

Markieff Morris and Butler have no touch, which makes the Lakers' bench offense completely stretched.

The Pacers took the opportunity to reverse the score again.

Seeing this, Cole had to become cautious and replaced the two main players, Qin Feng and Lowry.

After Qin Feng appeared on the stage, he directly started the personal attack mode.

First, against Danny Granger's defense, he forcibly hit a three-pointer.

Then he broke through to the penalty area and made a layup, which caused the opponent to foul and scored 2+1.

After Hibbert left the field, the Pacers' defense in the penalty area was like paper in front of Qin Feng.

Then, Qin Feng completed the steal, launched a fast break, stopped outside the three-point line and made another open three-pointer.

Scored 2 points in a row in less than 9 minutes.

Played a 9:2 climax and once again helped the Lakers gain a 5-point lead.

The on-site commentary was also full of emotions. Although the Lakers have a strong lineup and a deep bench lineup, it still depends on Qin Feng at the critical moment!

Qin Feng is the opportunity for all this.

If there is no Qin Feng, then the current Lakers team is at most a strong team at the playoff level, and it will never reach the championship level.

But with Qin Feng, then this Lakers team is the championship team! !

This is the essential difference.

beep.

Vogel called a timeout again.

He looked up, and there were only two timeouts left, which meant that he would not be able to call a timeout for the next five or six minutes.

The remaining two timeouts must be used at the last critical moment.

If there is still a critical moment...

After rearranging their tactics, the Pacers scored two goals in a row after returning from a timeout.

It has to be said that under Vogel's training, even though the Pacers are all young players, their ability to execute tactics is still very strong, which shows that this team has very strict discipline.

Just like the Spurs, the iron-blooded division, if a player does not play according to Popovich's tactics, then this player may not even have a chance to play.

The Pacers' offense returned to normal, but they did not narrow the score, because the Lakers' offense is still fierce.

Not only did Qin Feng score consecutively, but Markieff Morris finally made a three-pointer.

Even if he has made 5 of 1 shots so far, but this three-pointer is made, it is invaluable.

The Lakers gradually widened the point difference.

Vogel looked anxious on the long side, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't call a timeout anymore.

I can only watch helplessly!
