NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Still facing Bradley's defense, this time Jialan still chose to use the rhythm to shake Bradley's center of gravity. After a successful transfer of the center of gravity, Jialan seized the opportunity and took a stride from Bradley. The side spared the past.

However, Bradley can be regarded as an elite defender. He predicted Jialan's movements in time, turned his hip joints quickly, adjusted his defensive steps, and slid around Jialan's side like a candy. clung to him tightly.

Seeing that Bradley was sticking so tightly, Jialan quickly blocked Bradley with his ball protector, exerted force, and slapped Bradley. After creating space, Jialan charged inside again.

At this time, the Cavaliers' insider Markkanen still chose to pull away, trying to use his three-point threat ability to pull Howard out.

But when Howard was not moved at all, his eyes were fixed on Jialan who was not far in front of him.

At the same time, Bradley, who had been following Garan, quickly accelerated his pace and ran to the three-point line to stick tightly to Markkanen, preventing Markkanen from completing the shot.

It can be said that this ball is almost exactly the same as the previous round.

However, this ball Jialan did not choose to distribute the basketball to his outside teammate Markanen, but chose to pull it back, wanting to one-on-one with Howard and complete a wave of small fights.

At this time, it was too late for the Lakers to change their defenders again. In desperation, Howard had no choice but to raise the defense and add blue.

Fortunately, there are less than 24 seconds left in the 5-second attack time, and Jialan must complete the attack within 5 seconds!

Facing Howard's defense with tall arms and long arms, Jialan didn't panic at all. After briefly observing Howard's defensive position, Jialan moved, quickly crossed and broke through, and then pulled back to Beverly.

Howard was afraid of Jialan's three-pointer. After seeing Jialan's set of actions, Howard immediately strode forward, reaching out to try to interfere with Jialan's shooting.

Seeing that he had successfully deceived Howard's center of gravity, Jia Lan decisively dropped the ball and broke through to a position within one step of the three-point line!

At this time, the attack time is about to end, and Jialan has to make a decision. He decisively pulls up the mid-range shot!

But at this moment, Howard, who was behind Jialan, had rushed to him, jumped up quickly, and wanted to block Jialan from behind.

However, Howard was still a step too late, and Jialan finally completed the shot, but fortunately, Howard's defense still managed to interfere with Jialan this time.

In this way, under Howard's interference, Jialan finally made a mid-range shot this time and came out of the basket!

However, although Jialan did not make this goal, the Cavaliers used their powerful "three highs" system. While Howard was still on the outside, the Cavaliers immediately grabbed the offensive rebound!
Although Boucher's physical condition is not bad, he can also be used as a center in the five small systems, but when facing the three tall forwards of the Cavaliers Mobley, Markkanen and Jarrett Allen, it is really difficult to protect the rebounds. is somewhat difficult.

In this way, after the Cavaliers Jarrett Allen grabbed the offensive rebound, he immediately faced Boucher and scored 2 points with a small hook!
"It's okay, guys, the defense is already good!"

Vogel off the court saw this, clapped his hands quickly, and shouted at the court.

Brogdon heard Vogel's words, nodded slightly, and patted Boucher's shoulder next to him: "Try your best to rebound, buddy, you have done enough!"

"Go to the front court and take a seat!"

After finishing speaking, Brogdon smiled, then took the baseline ball from Howard, and pushed the ball forward.

After advancing to the frontcourt, Brogdon held the ball at the top of the arc, glanced at Powell on the right side, and waved.

Seeing Brogdon's gesture, Powell immediately understood what Brogdon meant, and quickly made an "OK" gesture to indicate that he was fine.

Brogdon nodded slightly, and then quickly shouted at his teammates: "Guys, ISO! ISO!"

After finishing speaking, Brogdon made a direct pass and passed the ball to Powell.

ISO is the abbreviation of isolation, which means singles, let teammates set up the offensive formation, and then play one-on-one singles!

After Brogdon finished speaking, the other Lakers teammates naturally pulled apart the offensive formation consciously, leaving a gap at 45 degrees.

And Brogdon's loud voice just now was naturally heard by the Cavaliers. They realized that Powell of the Lakers was going to play singles, so Garan, who was weak in defense, exchanged glances with Okoro on the side. Then he quickly switched defenses, letting Okoro face Powell, and he was going to face Covington, who had a weaker offensive ability!
Obviously, the Cavaliers want to use this to cover up Jialan's defensive disadvantages as much as possible.

However, what surprised everyone in the Cavaliers was that although it was not Jia Lan who was defending Powell at this time, but Okolo, the Cavaliers' strongest perimeter defensive ability, Powell still chose singles!
Facing Okoro's defense, Powell continuously dribbled the ball, broke through with cross steps, pulled back his hips, suspended dribbles, retreated and bowed to Buddha, etc., shaking Okoro's center of gravity crazily.

I have to say that Powell's dribbling action is too fancy and has attracted a lot of attention!
And because Brogdon yelled "ISO" just now, the Cavaliers players all thought that Powell must carry out the singles to the end. In addition, Powell's dribbling is relatively slow. All eyes were on Powell, and he was a little slack in defending the Lakers players around him.

At this moment, Brogdon suddenly moved!

I saw Brogdon quickly move to the bottom line, helping Boucher block the defender Markkanen in front of him!
Boucher, on the other hand, used Brogdon's cover to move quickly and rush to the inside with big strides!
By the time all the Cavaliers reacted, Boucher's speed had already increased, and the Cavaliers player Mobley behind him wanted to keep up with Boucher, but it was already too late!

And just when Boucher hit the inside line, Powell stopped dribbling the ball, made a quick lob pass, and threw the ball into the air.

However, the pass was obviously a bit hasty and crooked, and Boucher, who was about to complete the alley-oop dunk, also realized this, but he still jumped high, controlled the basketball in the air with one hand, and adjusted it simply. One click, and then the basketball was pushed into the basket with a "bang"!
I have to say that the tactics of the Lakers this round are very creative, but obviously, this tactic can only be used once, and the Cavaliers will never be fooled again next time!
