Healing Basketball

Chapter 624 624. Reasonable Section

During the intermission, Maurice Cheeks made tactical adjustments based on the current situation.

When he returned to the field, Liu Xiu saw the halftime statistics of him, Randolph, and Kobe on the big screen.

他25分4板3助攻、兰多夫20分8板5助攻，科比20分3分6助攻。

They can be compared with Kobe in scoring individually, but Kobe scored 11 points on 8 of 20 shots in the half, which is more efficient.

They combined more assists than Kobe, but most of their assists were mutual passes. Kobe's 6 assists made the team more effective. It is intuitively reflected that the other players of the Lakers scored 39 points in the half, and they opened up. For the Orthodox team, except for him and Randolph, everyone else only scored 14 points.

Kobe played so reasonably tonight!

And Kobe didn't defend him in the second quarter, but let Deron and Derek Anderson defend him for a whole quarter, and just watched him score 15 points in a single quarter...

This kind of Kobe, when his teammates perform well, is very difficult to deal with. What is very unfavorable for the Trail Blazers is that the Lakers have followed Kobe's threat in the last 6 games and played 4 wins and 2 losses. Kobe's teammates are online!
Moreover, it can be seen that Master Zen has worked hard for this game, and his preparations on both offense and defense are very good.

But the more this is the case, the more Liu Xiu will fight!
The halftime break ends and the third quarter begins.

The Lakers sent a combination of Derek Anderson, Kobe, Butler, Wang Zhizhi, and Mihm; the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Stevenson, Raheem, and McDyess.

The Lakers attack first, Derek Anderson and Odom pick and roll, Kobe Bryant uses Wang Zhizhi as a cover, catches the ball from outside the three-point line, does not get rid of McDyess's defense, and directly faces the defense with a three-point shot...Go in!
62 to 59, the Lakers took the lead in the second half.

Offensive and defensive transitions, Flying Squirrel's main attack, Liu Xiu's auxiliary control + off-ball attack started. During the execution of the tactics, both of them were strictly guarded!

Liu Xiu seized the opportunity to send the ball to Raheem, and Raheem caught the ball and made a two-point shot... Iron!
Fortunately, Liu Xiuchong grabbed the offensive rebound, but was immediately covered by the opponent's shooting space. Raheem actively moved and got another chance to respond. Liu Xiu sent the ball to Raheem in time.

But Raheem's mid-range shot is ironed again!
Wang Zhizhi protected the defensive rebound, dribbled the ball several times in a row with his hips pouted to avoid the steal by Little Momonga, and gave the ball to Kobe steadily.

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Kobe advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi who moved to the free throw line, and then cut in along the right sideline of the three-second zone. To dunk... spoiled by a rough foul by McDyess.

Kobe made one of two free throws, and the second free throw was ironed. Liu Xiu protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Little Flying Squirrel. When Flying Squirrel caught the ball, he yelled loudly: "Antonio is worth the foul."

Although trailing by 4 points, the Blazers' morale is still high, and the tactics are still running smoothly.

It's just that morale really can't be eaten.

In the next two rounds, Raheem missed the shot. He missed the mid-range shot. McDyess grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to him. Also iron, three-pointers, mid-range shots, layups, 3 times in 5 rounds!
In these two rounds, the Lakers scored two more points. After the start of the second half, the Lakers played a wave of 6-0, leading the Trail Blazers 65-59.

Finally, Liu Xiu couldn't bear it and came by herself. After a pick-and-roll with McDyess, he broke into the inside line. There was a meme at the basket, and Kobe was chasing him. Throw the ball into the basket at the same time as the foul, and after the referee blows the whistle to confirm that Liu Xiu's goal is valid, an additional penalty will be added!

Immediately after the substitution whistle sounded, taking advantage of the dead ball, the Trail Blazers replaced Kwame Brown and Raheem.

The Lakers bench, Maurice Cheeks said to Huo Tu: "Our offensive tactics have been mastered by the magic stick."

Huo Tu shook his head and smiled wryly: "Yeah, the brains of so many of us are no match for anyone else. We deserve to be the 9-time champion."

Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line and saw that it was Kwame Brown who was replaced, and immediately frowned...but then relaxed.

If you don't win the champion of parallel imports, you can only play the butcher for a long time in the first half. It won't be much better than this decision.

Recovering calm, Liu Xiu adjusted slowly, that is, the Zen master closed his eyes and meditated on the sidelines, and the coach of another opponent would definitely complain about Liu Xiu's free throw timeout.

Liu Xiu made a steady hit with an extra penalty, 62 to 65, and the point difference narrowed to 3 points!
When it came time for the Lakers to attack, their tactics had been transferred and they continued their strong offensive firepower, steadily maintaining their lead.

Facing the Lakers' triangle offense around Kobe's scoring, the Trail Blazers took turns to compete with Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel, unfortunately at a disadvantage.

During this period, the Lakers' defense mainly surrounded Liu Xiu and let the flying mouse attack. The performance of the small flying mouse tonight cannot be compared with the butcher who scored 20 points in the half. At 4 points, they were beaten 3-1 by the opponent, and the point difference came to 2 points again.

The performance of the role players was worse than usual, and towards the end of the midseason, the instability became more and more serious.

On the contrary, Randolph's condition has been getting better and better recently. As the Lakers Twin Towers complained, he is almost at his best...

Fortunately for Morris Cheeks, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen are always online.

The latter is so self-disciplined that it is outrageous. As for the former, I don't know why the state is so good...

In desperation, Maurice Cheeks had to replace Ray Allen and Randolph ahead of schedule, and the three major players played together!

With Ray Allen's perimeter containment, Randolph's singles and rushing assists, even though the opponent had Kobe, but the Lakers' starting lineup was uneven, the three of them also completed a strong three-on-five.

The three played together for more than half a quarter, the Trail Blazers and the Lakers scored 24 to 18, tied the score at the end of the three quarters, and entered the intermission with a score of 90 to 90!
...

"9 of 5 shots, 7 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 2 free throws, 16 points in a single quarter, a horse..."

Liu Xiu looked at Kobe's stats in the third quarter and his head grew dizzy.

要不是他典狱长第三节6投3中，其中三分球4中2，外加4中4的罚球单节拿到12分，加上兰多夫肆虐内线3投3中外加2中1的罚球拿到7分、雷-阿伦进了俩三分、夸梅-布朗有一个补扣……第三节差点被科比给挑翻！

20投13中，其中三分球10中7，外加罚球6中3，科比三节拿到36分8助攻！

Liu Xiu quickly reviewed the first three quarters, and found that Kobe's performance tonight can be described in one word, a very scary word-reasonable!
