You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 366 I Didn't Do It On Purpose, Will You Believe Me?

If you only look at the first half, it is a wonderful arrangement for Phil Jackson to let Weixia defend Michael Reed alone.

Under the restrictions of Wei Xia, Reed scored 11 points in the half, and although the shooting percentage was close to [-]%, the score was low, and the Bucks' main tactics were not successful.

The Bucks, who were focused on gaining an advantage through the inside, found that their inside couldn't beat the Lakers.

Bogut is not an offensive insider. Villanueva has full skills and a long range, but he always has the problem of poor confrontation ability.If the inside line cannot be opened, the outside line naturally cannot be exposed.

At halftime, the Lakers were 59 to 47, leading the Bucks by 12 points.

The Lakers have two players who played well.

One is Kobe, who is as impressive offensively as defensively, with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the half.

One is Weixia, who scored more points in the halftime than Reid, and had a higher shooting percentage than Reid. Among them, he chased Ruben Patterson to send a big cap, and rushed to the frontcourt with the ball in the next round.

By halftime, everyone was praising his defense.

Wei Xia himself was not so excited and excited.

Reed's shooting percentage and number of shots made him feel that it wasn't that he was defending, but that the Bucks' offensive focus didn't fall on him.

The Bucks had a clear purpose from the beginning, and they wanted to play inside.

Strategy carried through the first half.

Reid and Mo Williams have a bad reputation for not passing the ball, but throughout the first half, only Mo seemed to be guarded to death.

10 of 2 hits, but Reid was not blocked.

What if he took enough shots?

Wei Xia didn't dare to be complacent, and he didn't have the capital to be complacent, because he didn't know whether the Bucks in the second half would find that their calculations were wrong, so the focus of the game returned to Reid.

In the midfield lounge, the Zen master praised Weixia's defense: "Wish's restriction on Michael Reid should set an example for all of you, and you should learn from him!"

Wei Xia is really ashamed, so this is an example?
He has several concerns about Reed.

In the first half, Reid didn't get much possession of the ball.

His touch is actually good. If it continues to the second half and the Bucks shift the core of the offense, the Lakers will be in big trouble.

Although Reid is one of the best marksmen in the league, he does not have the off-ball running ability of Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and others.He has to catch the ball at most when he hangs a screen. It is not his style to expect him to run for more than ten seconds like a traditional sharpshooter before rushing out of the three-point line to catch the ball and shoot.As a sharpshooter, his running ability is insufficient and he needs to play with the ball, but his control is not enough to attack the core level with the ball. This is his embarrassment and his characteristic.

In the first half, his team did not give him much authority and freedom.

At the beginning of the second half, Reid dribbled the ball into the paint area and caused Wecha's defensive foul.

"You don't think this is over, do you?" Reed muttered quickly, making two free throws.

49 is better than 59
As soon as Reid turned on the offensive mode, the Lakers gave him a chance.

A high cross pass was intercepted by Patterson.

Reed had a positional advantage and took the lead in counterattacking.

Wei Xia kept up, but Reid was not Patterson and his ilk. He steadily controlled the rhythm of the counterattack and hit Wei Xia with all his strength before making a shot.His overall strength is obviously more powerful than Patterson's elbow, and he pushed Wei Xia with ease and scored a layup.

"It seems that you are not particularly difficult to deal with." Reid's more and more trash talk indicates that the Bucks have shifted the core of their offense to the outside.

Wei Xia looked at his opponent solemnly, and the Lakers' offense started from Kobe's position.

Kobe didn't intend to pass the ball, he dribbled outside the paint, jumped up and shot before he could get rid of the defense.

Although the bang missed, the Lakers' starting center Ryan Hollins grabbed the rebound with his excellent jumping ability in the second half.

Bynum's performance in the first half stimulated him, and he actively created opportunities at the beginning of the second half. However, when the opportunities came, he did not have the strength and courage to firmly grasp them.

Bogut just stood and raised his hand, but he had a Duncan-like deterrent force, allowing Hollins' second attack to deviate from the basket.

However, the Bucks' inside advantage has not been reflected in rebound protection since the first half.

The Lakers, who are more hungry for rebounds, rushed down the offensive rebound.

Odom grabbed the rebound and Villanova grimaced viciously, as if trying to intimidate his opponent with the hairless face.

The reason why Odom passed the ball instead of using actual actions to make him understand that bluffing defense is only effective for elementary school students is because the timing of Wei Xia's cut is so clever that he would be sorry if he didn't pass the ball.

The cooperation between Wei Xia and Odom originated from silence. There was no communication before. It was probably just a look.

"Every time we play against the Bucks, Wish's enthusiasm seems to tell everyone that he is the best player in the 2005 draft!" Dedes exclaimed excitedly.

Old Thompson took the opportunity to boast: "He is! It's a pity that not every team is as discerning as the Lakers. Five teams missed him!"

"Six, to be exact," Dedes said. "In addition to the teams with the top five picks, and the ones that took Wish with the sixth pick and traded him to Portland in Los Angeles."

Six teams were shot, but at least one team has no regrets so far.

That is the New Orleans Hornets who selected Paul.

Therefore, the old Thompson is still right. It is true that five teams missed Weixia.

However, according to the needs of the team, the Bucks’ choice is beyond reproach. They already have Michael Reed on the back line, and they don’t need a Wei Xia with the same function.

Bogut was dunked by Weixia for the second time tonight.

When they met for the first time, he was very disdainful of Wei Xia. After being educated, he recognized each other's strength, but he was still very dissatisfied with him and often spoke ill at each other.Even though Wei Xia has taught him countless times, he still does not change his true colors.Although he looks like a super shaker who is under pumping, he has been educated by Wei Xia so many times, and his body and mind have developed inertia.

No matter how difficult it is to get used to, once it happens often and you are powerless to stop it, then you can only accept it silently.

No matter what others think, anyway, Bogut thinks so, and no one can shake him.

Wei Xia's extra penalty felt a little short, and he didn't make the shot.

61 is better than 49
The Lakers retreated quickly, and Bogut responded immediately.

Get the ball high and aim for Hollins.There's a sizeable gap between them, and if Bogut's first-half offense wasn't so bad, he would have knocked Hollins' shit out.The bad start made the Australians feel awe of the Lakers' inside line. The eyebrowless man cut in, his ball passed through the defense, and it was in place. The Bucks fouled again.

The eyebrowless man at the free throw line didn't waste the two free throws sent by the referee and made all of them.

51 is better than 61
It is the Bucks' original idea to bloom both inside and outside.

What should have been realized in the first half didn't show signs until the third quarter, which has to be said to be their failure.

The Bucks began to rely on the inside and defend fiercely from the outside.

Wei Xia gave the ball to Kobe, but he was not aggressive enough and wanted to use his influence to find opportunities.

As a result, the opportunity came up, and the person who got the opportunity-the "smartest Laker" chose to pass it to Wei Xia at the top of the arc.

Reid's shooting style emptied Wecha to make the latter shoot decisively.

boom!
The loss at the free throw line seemed to affect Weixia's touch. Then, the Bucks protected the backcourt rebounds and were not eager to push the counterattack.

Xiao Mo came with the ball.

Scouts often say he doesn't pass the ball, but if it was Redd, he would.

High on the right wing, Wei Xia entangled Reid.Bogut immediately came up and set a high screen for Reed to catch the ball.Wei Xia caught up with tenacity, but the Australian was ushered in a pick-and-roll on the spot, and Reid used the pick-and-roll to sway the defense, and made a long-distance two-pointer with two steps from the three-point line and made a steady shot.

The Lakers are chaotic one quarter after another.

Their offensive rhythm is not as good as before, and Luke Walton looks at Kobe, hoping that he will come out and solve it forcibly.

Kobe, who is in a new role, thinks that the situation has not reached that point, and he has no willingness to take over. They can only rely on others.

The basketball was passed around the perimeter.

Old-school coaches who like their teams to pass more must appreciate the current Lakers.

10 seconds, 5 passes, almost no sign of sticking the ball.

When the basketball returned to Wei Xia's hands, the situation was already very critical. He bravely broke through Reed's defense that was not a threat at all, but because he was too nervous, he didn't make a sudden stop for a jump shot when the opportunity was best, but rushed into the defensive net formed by the Australian and the eyebrowless man.

Wei Xia stumbled all the way, until he jumped out to the outside line in one step, he still couldn't see the space to make a shot.

His body has already flown out of bounds, and once he lands, it will be the end of an out-of-bounds error.He looked back and saw only the Bucks players, and then Bogut's huge crotch. In that huge crotch, which was a bit unbelievable, he could see Kobe's latest signature boots-yes, this was their dream opportunity.

"You're fucking over!" Bogut roared, as if he had seen Wei Xia break through and go out of bounds.

As a result, Wei Xia used all his strength to smash the ball towards Bogut's crotch.

His purpose was to complete a pass through the crotch that shocked the audience in Bogut's exaggerated crotch space.

He completely overestimated the accuracy and precision of his full-power, one-handed pass in an emergency.

Wei Xia's pass needs to be deflected 20 cm downwards to pass through Bogut's crotch. Therefore, due to the technical problems of the passer, the point of the pass did not complete its mission, but it still found another way, and the sword went to another place - the scientific name of that place is the weakness of all men. The famous action superstar Jackie Chan said that most men in the world will make mistakes because of their own weaknesses.

It seems that Weixia wants to avoid Bogut's future mistakes by passing the ball.His pass hit Bogut's weakness like a cannonball, and then, an unprecedented scream broke out on the Staples Center field, and the screaming sound almost pierced the perpetrator's eardrum.

Wei Xia couldn't help being a little worried about Bogut's situation. He clutched his weakness and collapsed on the ground, twitching up and down
"Are you okay?" Wei Xia eagerly ran to the Australian side, "Sau Rui, I didn't mean it. Would you believe me?" He looked sincere.

Remember, Wescha was alive because Bogut had lost all aggression by then.
