Pick Westbrook

Chapter 185 Seven players scored in double figures

Bucks locker room.

Westbrook and Curry high-fived and then hugged tightly.

"You carried the team on your shoulders tonight, well done."

"You are the same brother, let's continue to show off in the next game."

For the first time, Yi Jianlian showed a very happy smile, and thanked Artest and O'Neal for spanking.

In this game, if the two of them hadn't helped Yi Jianlian to assist defense and local pressure many times, it would be difficult for him to defend Gasol.

But even with such a defense, Gasol also had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in this game tonight, which provided a lot of help to the Lakers.

With the help of the team doctor, Iverson was still dealing with the wound. It wasn't until this time that his teammates discovered that he had a small hole in his mouth.

Dragic joked on the side: "Al didn't know how much his own blood was drunk in the game tonight, but don't let it leak out and be suspected of being the aunt."

Hearing this, the Bucks locker room was full of joy. This is the first time they have shown such a brisk appearance since the championship.

Li Lai pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in. Everyone immediately returned to a serious mood, but after seeing Li Lai's smile, Artest took the lead and said, "Coach, we played very well tonight."

Li Lai stretched out his hand, and all the players clenched their fists and leaned over and touched each other.

"Yeah, we played great tonight, we played the Bucks offense."

"But the Lakers are not a simple opponent. You must have seen it in the first two games, so keep an eye on the next game and don't let your guard down."

"Take them!"

"By the way, where is Ah Lian?"

Hearing Li Lai's call, Yi Jianlian smiled shyly and raised his hand as a signal.

Li Lai continued: "This game was well defended. In the next game, you'll be defending Gasol. I don't want to see him score 20 points and rebound 10."

Hearing this, Yi Jianlian took a deep breath, and then nodded solemnly to all his teammates.

Then Tyronn Lue brought the box inlaid with the championship fragments to everyone and opened it. There were 12 fragments neatly placed on it, and most of the entire championship trophy had appeared in front of everyone. The bottom three pieces and the very middle one.

Iverson, O'Neal, Artest. All the Bucks players only have the championship trophy in their eyes at the moment. They look at the few gaps, and their eyes are burning.

Yi Jianlian took the fragments from Li Lai, and placed them at the bottom with great solemnity. At this moment, all the Bucks players hugged each other spontaneously.

"For Westbrook!"

"For Kelsey Barrs!"

"For Iverson!"

"For O'Neal!"

"For Artest!"

"For Reggie Miller!"

"For all of us!"

"Bucks!"

"Let's go!"

Los Angeles.

Staples Arena.

"Welcome to the fourth game of the NBA 09-10 season finals. The Bucks challenge the Lakers away!"

Kenny Smith has been excited by this round of finals, he looked at his old partner and said: "This game is very important for the two teams."

"If the Lakers lose, they'll be back on the same starting line as the Bucks and lose home-court advantage."

"If the Bucks lose, it will be 1:3 behind. In the entire history of the NBA Finals, there has never been a team behind 1:3 that can come back."

Barkley strongly agreed and said: "Don't say that there is no history in the whole history, even in the future it will be difficult for a team to come back in a 1:3 situation."

"After all, the strength gap between the teams that can reach the finals is very small. It is simply unrealistic to chase 3 games in a row as a laggard."

CCTV commentary desk.

Yu Jia took out a copy of the latest backstage director statistics and said: "This game has not started yet, and the ratings on CCTV have reached a record high, becoming the number one of all the programs in the morning!"

"It is irresponsible to say that the fans and friends in front of the TV probably got up early in the morning and locked on our live broadcast."

Su Qun sighed helplessly.

Irresponsible?
This is not what Director Zhang is best at!
The game was about to start, Zhang Weiping was already excited, he stood up and said excitedly: "You can guess, the game tonight is really tight!"

on the field.

Game start!
Kobe played very proactively as soon as he came up, trying to singles Artest on the outside continuously.

He wanted to set the tone for the Lakers to lead from the very beginning of the game, and then win this extremely critical game in one fell swoop.

The Bucks still started with O'Neal and Yi Jianlian on the inside.

O'Neal chose to guard the penalty area and not give Kobe a chance to get to the basket easily, so that other players of the Bucks can safely and boldly attack Kobe's mid-range shots and post-up singles.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian was close to Gasol, and he took the initiative to find a physical confrontation with Gasol from the very beginning of the game.

Yi Jianlian is preparing to consume Gasol's physical strength from the beginning.

The Lakers' first four offenses were all Kobe's singles, and he also hit two of them.

If other teams encounter this kind of Kobe who is full of firepower, they will probably be extremely cautious and even spare no effort on the defensive end. I am afraid that Kobe will feel fiery and dominate the game if he is not careful.

But the Bucks have no such worries, because they have never been a team that is afraid of opponents' singles. On the contrary, they very much hope that their opponents can single them too much.

"In the Eastern Conference finals, James played the first stats in the Eastern Conference finals that created history, and he didn't win the Bucks. Instead, he was battered by the Bucks' overall offense."

Kenny Smith is more and more optimistic about the performance of the Bucks in this round of finals. He is also very confident that the Bucks will win the final championship trophy.

Barkley said: "Don't underestimate the Lakers, they are a team with traditional championship genes."

"Gasol and Bynum, the two of them attack and defend inside, are completely worthy of O'Neal at his peak."

"In addition, Kobe is better than the OK period, so when this team starts to go all out, he is definitely not something the Bucks can resist."

Westbrook continued to reach the basket with O'Neal's pick-and-roll, and once again switched positions to play Bynum.

The latter chose to take a step back to defend this time, so that he could interfere with Westbrook's breakthrough to a greater extent.

Tyronn Lue, who saw this scene, was extremely worried and said: "The Lakers still use this kind of defense after all, and Bynum's defense is considered top-notch in the league."

"So when he starts defending like that, it's impossible for Russell to get to the rim easily."

Li Lai nodded. He remembered Bynum's interior defense in the first two games of the playoffs. If it wasn't for him, Westbrook's offense would not have been so sluggish in those two games.

But at this time Li Lai chose to hand over the handling of the court to the players.

Now that the techniques and tactics of the two teams have been clarified, both sides will conduct selective defense. For example, Bynum now chooses to retreat and defend to limit Westbrook's breakthrough, but at the same time it also gives Westbrook more Great projection space.

This is the trade-off!
Zen Master is betting on Westbrook's touch tonight. If the opponent's touch happens to be out of order tonight, the Lakers will solve a big offensive problem.

Now it's up to Westbrook and the players on the field to make their own choices.

Westbrook can choose to pass this tactic and then choose a new tactic, or he can choose to punish the opponent outside the three-point line and let the Lakers pay for such a defensive choice.

Marshall flipped through the statistics in one set and said: "Russell's three-point shooting percentage from the start of the playoffs to the present is 35%, which is a slight decline compared to 36% in the regular season."

"However, this is also understandable. After all, the defensive intensity in the playoffs is greater. Not every player can feel like Curry outside the three-point line after entering the playoffs.

While the Bucks coaching staff was speaking, Westbrook had already chosen to shoot on the court.

Swish!
A three-pointer shot!
Li Lai nodded in satisfaction.

Since Westbrook first stepped into the NBA, he has been helping the opponent improve his shooting ability from beyond the three-point line and change the opponent's zombie shooting style.

Judging from Westbrook's performance in the regular season and playoffs this season, although he is still not an extremely stable shooter, and his touch outside the three-point line is also sporadic, he is by no means the casual shooter of his previous life. A shot blacksmith that can be put.

So the Lakers will definitely pay some price for such a defensive choice.

The first quarter is over.
The Bucks maintained the lead with 36:30.

Kobe, who played very aggressive in the opening game, scored 12 points in a single quarter, but when he looked back, he found that the Bucks were still behind.

At this moment, Kobe understood instantly that if he wanted to defeat the Bucks, he could end the game by himself like facing other teams, which was absolutely unworkable.

Because the Bucks' overall offense is so good, low-efficiency singles can't beat them.

Only efficient overall coordination can be played!
Barkley frowned and said: "Kobe played so actively in the first quarter and consumed a lot of energy, how can he lead the team to play in the second quarter?"

Zen master's face became more and more difficult.

Kobe’s initiative in the first quarter was authorized by him. Originally, he also hoped to use this style of play to disrupt the overall offensive rhythm of the Bucks and take the opportunity to win the game, but he never expected to hit it instead. The Bucks' trap.

"With the offensive firepower of this team, I'm really not afraid of singles from any player in the league, including Kobe!"

"I think this is also one of the main reasons why the Cavaliers and James lost the Eastern Conference Finals."

"So there are only two ways to beat the Bucks, either be better than them on the offensive end, or limit them on the defensive end."

Jackson thought about limiting the Bucks' best Celtics defensively throughout the playoffs.

He still remembers how Rajon Rondo and Tony Allen restrained Westbrook and Curry, so he looked at Kobe and Fisher at this time.

"Squeeze through every cover!"

"Remember to squeeze through!"

"Don't tell me that you can't squeeze, either foul or squeeze, or use strong physical confrontation to prevent the Bucks from hitting a high pick-and-roll."

"In short, I must see that the two outside cores of the Bucks are out of order!"

The second game.

Once again, Bynum was exhausted by the Bucks' five death squads. The inside combination of the Lakers, which was originally proud of the league, had no advantage at this time.

O'Neal once again scored by Bynum alone.

Switch offense.

Bynum took the initiative to sit in the low post to ask for the ball and wanted to return O'Neal, but the tonnage was not enough to squeeze the opponent, and the offensive skills were not rich enough, so he was completely suppressed by the big sharks.

Fortunately, Odom ushered in a small explosion in the second quarter of this game. He made 6 of 4 shots and scored 10 points. Otherwise, because of Kobe's physical problems, the Lakers would be beaten by the Bucks in this quarter. up.

But the Bucks also have players who play well.

Danny Green, who was blown up by Kobe in the last game, ushered in an offensive improvement in this game. He made 4 of 2 shots from outside the three-point line and gave Kobe who defended him a heavy blow.

"Danny Green is still a rookie player in this class. He dared to shoot as soon as he came up in the finals! Really bold!"

"Speaking of this, I have to boast about the Bucks' training system and draft vision. All their role players can stand up in such a critical game. This is the championship puzzle."

"The most important thing on the stage of the finals is the performance of the role players."

Halftime is over.

The Bucks continued to expand their lead with 66:56.

CCTV.

Director Zhang didn't speak for the entire game, and his face was still full of sad emotions.

At this time, Yu Jia was sensible and didn't sprinkle salt on the wound. Instead, he analyzed with Su Qun: "The Lakers still haven't been able to solve the Bucks' five death-defying tactics."

"Terby is their two insiders Gasol and Bynum. The two were extremely exhausted in the first quarter, and they were led by the Bucks to run around in the second quarter. If nothing else, the third quarter The game was another hand-to-hand fight between Yi Jianlian and O'Neal."

"Let's not talk about Gasol and Bynum, even the iron elbow Malone can't bear it."

Su Qun said very justly at this time: "It's not that Master Zen didn't think of a way. Let Kobe play more singles at the beginning in order to disrupt the Bucks' offensive rhythm."

"It's just that the Bucks have been using three people to help defend Kobe. His shooting percentage is not guaranteed at all, and his scoring is not consistent enough. On the contrary, the overall offense of the Bucks has always played well."

"This also became the fuse of the Lakers' physical strength and player rotation in the second quarter. If Odom hadn't stepped forward, the Lakers might have been directly beaten in the first half of the game."

Su Qun really wanted to say, this round of finals is really your show.

Although the Lakers won the first two games, they all won the game with a small score. In the second game, they narrowly beat the Bucks with Kobe's lore.

But now with the sudden change of the Bucks and the death of the five minors, it is becoming more and more difficult for the Lakers to keep up with the Bucks' offensive intensity.

If Zen master Phil Jackson doesn't think of a solution, then the Lakers might really be defeated by the Bucks and take away the chance to defend the title.

Second half of the game.

Gasol, Bynum, and Kobe began to attack the Lakers' basket frequently, while Fisher and Kobe also began to increase their defensive strength and target the Bucks' outside dual-core pick-and-roll tactics.

But Zen Master seems to have forgotten how the Bucks broke the Celtics' defense in the second round of the Eastern Conference series.

So when he saw that the Lakers suddenly used such a defensive strategy, Li Lai immediately called a timeout and arranged Curry's ball-holding tactics.

Ku Ritian reappears!
A wave of 6-of-3 three-pointers once again widened the point difference on the court.

118: 110.

The game is over.
