Chapter 325 The Explosive Gasol
"We are a team with a glorious history. Our team is two consecutive league championships. We have the best players in the league. Although we trailed by 17 points in the first half, I believe we In the end, there must be a winner.”

Game 17 between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks officially kicks off at the Staples in Los Angeles.Although the Los Angeles Lakers adjusted their state to the best in this game, facing the strong Mavericks, the Lakers still fell behind by as much as [-] points at the end of the first half.

The declaration just now was what Kobe said to cheer up his teammates when the game was about to start in the second half. Facts have proved that the biggest achievement the Los Angeles Lakers have achieved after the first six games is the team's resilience, 17 points?At the end of the first half of the last game, they were still 20 points behind! 17 points is really nothing!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Lakers sent a starting lineup other than Lao Yu, Ouyang, Kobe, Artest, Gasol and the Great Wall Dayao.This lineup is currently the most powerful lineup of the Lakers. If the Lakers want to chase points, this section of the third quarter is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Ouyang controlled the ball, watched the opponent's defense, and handed the basketball to Dayao with a beautiful counter-tune.Because Chandler felt that he might not be able to defend against Yao Ming, so at the beginning of the second half, he chose to go forward. This is also the best way for the league uniforms to deal with Yao Ming.

However, it is obvious that Ouyang is not comparable to Alstom or Brooks. A very beautiful counter-tune successfully handed the basketball into Dayao's hands. At this moment, no one can stop Dayao, and he succeeded in a very "violent" dunk. , The first two points for the Lakers.

Now the main issue is defense. After all, the premise of chasing points is to score yourself and not let your opponent score.The Lakers started their defense without any fixed defensive formation, the simplest one defense one, but such a simple and direct defense has received miraculous results.

The current Lakers can be said unceremoniously to be one of the most terrifying lineups in the league, not to mention the ultra-luxury lineups such as Artest, Kobe, Dayao, Lao Yu, and Gasol, even if they are on the bench. Ouyang, Sun Yue, Odom, and Sharks are not inferior to other teams' starters.

But the problem is that the Los Angeles people are always unable to concentrate on playing. They are always half-hearted and they can fall behind the Dallas Mavericks by a big score of 3:0 in the playoffs.

indeed!The performance of the Mavericks this season is indeed strong, their lineup is not inferior to that of the Lakers, and they also have the focus that the Lakers do not have, but if the Lakers have no power to fight back in the hands of Dallas, that is simply heaven Night Tale.

However, when the Los Angeles Lakers were forced to the edge of the cliff, their explosive fighting power reflected the demeanor of the defending champions. Evening the score is the best manifestation, but if they can use this to create history and successfully eliminate Dallas It's hard to say, the outcome of the two teams is really unknown.

As the game continued, Gasol used all his skills to defend Nowitzki, but this season, Nowitzki is like the protagonist Halo in the novel, always in the stage of explosive invincibility!For example, in this attack, Gasol can almost be said to be hanging on Nowitzki's body.

But it is obvious that Nowitzki is God's default protagonist this season. A large fadeaway jumper hit and returned two points to the Lakers. Just now with Dayao's wonderful one-handed dunk, it is obvious that Nowitzki will play this ball even more beautifully.

Nowitzki, who has a free throw rate of more than 85% all the year round, naturally made a free throw this time, and the two sides switched offense and defense.As for the Lakers, they lost another point in the round just now. Of course, there is still a lot of time. Whether the Lakers can turn defeat into victory is still unknown.

The Lakers attacked, this time Kobe chose to control the ball himself, and Ouyang didn't respond. After seeing Kobe's gesture, he chose to run back directly to help Kobe open up space.I didn't mind at all, because in the first half of the game, Ouyang had shot 17 of 12 shots.Most of the passes come from Kobe.

There is no more effective proof than this. The cooperation between the two shattered the outside rumors that were not all false, so now Ouyang has no reaction at all to Kobe's request.

Standing in front of Kobe is Sean Marion. There is no way. The last game was because Terry stood in front of Kobe. As a result, Kobe scored 49 points at will. So today's game started with weird Marion. Standing in front of Kobe.

Kobe’s classic tentative step, facing Marion’s defense, chose to break through. Now Kobe’s speed is not very fast, but his current skills and experience are already at their peak. Facing Marion’s defense, Kobe’s shoulders are irregular Shaking, and then a sudden acceleration.

Kobe could barely shake off Marion, and then began to explode his speed directly to the inside.At this time, Dayao was very smart to stand outside instead of continuing to block the inside line.Chandler is now the Mavericks' patron saint of the restricted area, so he naturally wouldn't let Kobe score so easily.

Because now Gasol has pulled Nowitzki beyond the corner three-point line, so the interior is empty.Chandler has already pounced on Kobe, looking at the posture so reminiscent of the scene where he pushed Ouyang out of the bottom line in the World Championships.

Kobe did not choose to force it, but chose to distribute the ball to Dayao who had just been pulled out after Chandler defended.Dayao has been emptied directly, and there is no one in front of him. Don't forget that Dayao's mid-range shooting percentage can reach more than [-]% this season.

At this time, Kidd, who was defending Ouyang, has already started directly. Although he dare not say that he can block Dayao's shot this time, if it can affect the rhythm of Dayao's shot, then Kidd is considered a success. Don't forget this moment Chandler is still standing under the basket. If Dayao misses the shot, then the rebound must belong to the Mavericks.

An old monster like Kidd seems to be able to take into account all possible situations before making a move.But this time it was clear that there was a scene on the court that Kidd least wanted to see.Dayao passed the ball!

When Kidd left Ouyang, Ouyang had already yelled, and he used Chinese.As for the syllables in Ouyang's mouth, Kidd naturally wouldn't understand the most difficult "foreign language" in the world.

"Dayao, here! Pass the ball!" Ouyang spoke quickly, and in an instant, Dayao knew that his defenders had come to cover him, and because Ouyang was standing behind Dayao, if he chose to shoot this time , Maybe it will really be taken down by the little guy.

Dayao didn't want to see this situation, but he had already completed all the preparatory actions before shooting, and even turned his toes up.At this time, Dayao had an idea and threw the basketball directly behind his head. By feeling, he found Ouyang's position.

When Ouyang received the pass from Dayao, he secretly praised it for being beautiful. It didn't mean that the ball passed by Dayao to Ouyang had a good rhythm, but that the ball was given decisively, quickly, and most importantly, by surprise.It has a great visual impact.As a compatriot in China, Ouyang naturally would not disappoint Dayao's trust, and directly shot a three-pointer and hit it!

This ball directly opened the prelude to the Lakers' counterattack. Compared with the Lakers' three shots in the previous game, this time the Lakers' scoring points were all concentrated on the outside. After a rain of three-pointers, the Lakers scored 21:3. shock wave.The score was overtaken in one fell swoop. At this time, there were still 4 minutes left in the third quarter.

Ouyang and Kobe were not the main players in this scoring frenzy. Ron Artest, whose shooting was not stable, and Gasol, who had almost never made a three-pointer, hit 5 consecutive hits unexpectedly by the Mavericks Three-pointers, plus one each from Ouyang and Kobe, the Lakers have already pulled back the score gap after most of the third quarter.

This quarter of the game can be said to be a battle of proof for Gasol. Since the playoffs, the performance of the Spanish tower has been sluggish.Whether facing David West or the German chariot Dirk Nowitzki, Gasol not only couldn't guard against them, but his own performance also dropped sharply, let alone an All-Star, even a blue-collar Better than Gasol.

But this game, to be exact, Gasol seems to have a blowout before everyone forgets him.

In the third quarter, his statistics were not so outstanding, he hit 3 three-pointers and only scored 9 points.But he bravely froze Nowitzki on the defensive end, allowing Nowitzki to only hit one goal in 7 shots.He also had 11 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.

The Los Angeles Lakers have benefited the most from Gasol's outbreak. His downturn can be said to have directly affected the core of the Lakers' offense. Don't forget that in Zen Master's triangle offense, Gasol is the initiator of the Lakers' tactics.He is the core of the entire tactic, which even Kobe has to admit.

But in this playoffs, Gasol did not play at the level he should have, so that after Ouyang came back, the triangle offense that the Lakers are proud of has been in a semi-paralyzed state.On the contrary, the point guard who has been in the tasteless position in the triangle offensive tactics has regained the task of the team's offensive initiator.

But at this time, Gasol's timely outbreak brought the Lakers back to their peak state. The Lakers at this time are the Los Angeles Lakers of last season.
