Chapter 580
Director Zhang was very surprised. This is a normal phenomenon. On the one hand, he did not know enough about Li Tianxin's abilities. On the other hand, he had never seen such a lineup before. This lineup is too high. Same.

"The lineup of the Lakers is really weird. The starting center and point guard are all replaced. Their height subverts the concept of basketball." Director Zhang shook his head and said, he really didn't understand.

Except for Kobe who is an outside lineup, the other four are all full inside lineups.

It’s just that he ignored that the current starting Lakers, except Gasol’s speed is slightly slower, of course, this slowness is only slower than players like Odom, and he can’t shoot three-pointers from the outside. , but they are all players who can crazily output outside.

Brown saw the same thing with the Lakers starting lineup, it was like seeing a ghost.

"This..." After a long time, it seemed like a fly was stuck in his throat, and Brown couldn't figure out what he was going to say.

He had to urgently call the players to his side, and said in a low voice, "James, O'Neal, you must strengthen the internal and external connections, you must."

"Hey!" Hastily making some changes, Brown couldn't help but sigh. Ever since he came to the Cavaliers, he always felt tight.

Although his current position is envied by many coaches, no matter what, James has never been able to have a player who can lead the way, and there is also no player who can be by his side to help him support offense and defense.Although Wallace was the main center of the championship team before, his leadership ability really cannot be said.Today's O'Neill is also difficult to become James' leader.

James didn't take it seriously. Such a lineup looked strange and didn't fit the basketball he knew at all.

In people's minds, the point guard is used to sort out the offense, so it should be a shorter player. This 2.08-meter point guard is a bit unclear. I think Li Tian is a contemporary magician.

Lakers starters: Li Tian, ​​Kobe Bryant, Artest, Odom, Gasol.

Comparing the two, it can be found that the height of the Lakers players is generally higher than that of the Cavaliers players.

Seeing Li Tian holding the ball and coming in front of him, West felt a little guilty. After all, the height gap between the two is a bit big.He was very entangled in his heart. What he was facing was a historical-level shooter and a player with a very sharp breakthrough in today's league. At the same time, he also had a pull-up jumper that broke people's perception. He has been struggling in his heart, but no matter how he defends, the opponent will have a chance to score.

West gritted his teeth and "closed", this was the last decision he made.

Seeing the defense coming close to him, he couldn't help but smile, his chance has come, the dislocation is too obvious.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this offense, Odom had already thrown off Hickson's pursuit and came outside the three-point line.

Tapping his toes and making a fake move of pulling out his hand, West could only bite the bullet and go forward to defend. At this moment, an unexpected behind-the-back pass was given to Odom who had just completed his position.

After experiencing the slump of the start of the game, Odom also increased practice because he knew that if he could not return to his previous form, the Lakers would trade him out sooner or later.Immediately decided to follow Li Tian's old path and work hard on three-pointers and defense. After all, the original foundation is still there.

After receiving the ball, he made a precise three-pointer.

"Bang!" sounded in the studio, and Director Zhang was a little excited, because this pass was not a magical stroke. After Li Tian's passing action, strength and Odom received the ball, he did not make any adjustments. You will be able to act immediately.It took only a split second to get room to shoot just now. Before Hixon chased up and defended, he had already shot, so he didn't dare to make a foul.

"Haha, that's great!" Odom clapped his hands in celebration!

"West, don't be discouraged, Lee is hard to guard!" James walked up to West and said.

If it was someone else on the team, West would not take this sentence seriously, but it was James who said it, and he knew in his heart that he had encountered a problem, and the corners of his brows were wrinkled. Into a twist.

"How is it possible?" Brown exclaimed. He had to sigh with emotion. When he first saw the Lakers lineup, he thought that O'Neal would have enough time to rest, but all of this could only disappear.

James resisted Artest's defense and made a mid-range shot!

The basketball bounced out of the basket, and O'Neal squeezed away Gasol and took off the rebound. Gasol obviously restrained his movements because of too many fouls.

"Beep!" O'Neill had just squeezed out of the defense when he heard a whistle, and he was pulled down directly.

"Damn it, you guys are so shameless!" Big Mouth was not idle, and he sprayed furiously at Odom.

"Shut up your mouth, he's my little brother, if you don't want others to foul, then you just make a free throw!" Kobe hurried forward to stand up for Odom.

In a word, suppressing O'Neill's anger in an instant is his eternal pain. As a top center, the only thing he can't make is free throws.

Not surprisingly, O'Neal made one of two free throws!

59:55 The Lakers lead continues to expand!

Gasol quickly served the baseline ball, and Li Tian accelerated past the half court. He did not wait for his teammates to take their positions, but he stretched his bow and set his arrows, and he had already shot a three-pointer.

West, who was chasing after him, was stunned and said in surprise, "Isn't this too fast?"

It's no surprise if you're not surprised, this speed with the ball is no less than his speed without the ball.

"Haha, the Lakers made a fast break and hit a three-pointer in just 4 seconds!" Director Zhang burst into laughter.

"FUCK!" At this time, O'Neal had just finished chattering to the referee, and he hadn't even passed halftime.

Seeing this situation, Phil was on the sidelines, beckoned to Li Tian to slow down a little, and glanced at O'Neal, and immediately understood that he must wait for O'Neal to run back before starting to attack, mainly to take advantage of the Cavaliers' lack of a foothold. Attacking when it is stable will make O'Neill tired of running and consume his energy!
"You are so shameless!" When Li Tiandu came back to defend, O'Neill complained to him again.

Also not to be outdone, "Fatty, lose weight quickly!".

Unconsciously, he patted O'Neill's stomach twice, and the fat was about to fly off.

"Damn it, don't touch it. If you touch it again, I'll sue you for harassment!" Hearing O'Neill's words, James, who was in control of the ball, almost fell to the ground.

How can someone like you harass you unless that guy is out of his mind.

James tried to break through several times, but was squeezed back by Artest.I can only choose to use the pick-and-roll to switch defenses. After watching the Lakers' perimeter defense, they are not easy to compare. Li Tian is a new first-defense player, Kobe Bryant's veteran first-defense player, and Artest is the same.

Looking at such a defensive lineup, James couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while. No matter how he switches defenses from the outside, he has to face such an iron-like defense. He can only drop the ball to O'Neal!

After a few offenses and defenses, the Lakers played very fast offensively. They grabbed rebounds if they couldn't make a throw.

"Huh!" Under the fast break rhythm of the Lakers, the Cavaliers' offensive speed has improved significantly, and O'Neal's jersey has already begun to drip.

"I'm so fucking tired!" I cursed in my heart, but I still tried my best to run to the frontcourt.

Seeing that the Lakers players have already completed their defensive positioning, Brown's heart is so cold, this speed can't be improved at all.

James was outside the three-point line, turned around twice, but couldn't find a good breakthrough opportunity, so he had to give the ball to O'Neal inside again. He also knew that O'Neal was seriously exhausted now.

Before O'Neal received the ball, Odom's double-team came up, which was arranged by Phil long ago, and Hickson can be released appropriately, but O'Neal must not be given an easy chance to score.

"Get out of the way, the big shark is coming!" O'Neill also roared.

Only this time, the sound was loud, but the effect was mediocre. He didn't squeeze Gasol away, and the ball was stopped halfway by the double-teaming Odom.

"Ball!" Shouted, Odom also thought about playing a fast break, and threw the ball directly to Li Tian.

After receiving the ball, everyone went down quickly. In order to increase O'Neill's physical consumption, he was beaten down earlier. He did not rush to attack, but waited for a while, and O'Neill came later.

When he just reached the three-point line, he suddenly launched an attack. O'Neal made a solid wall for his breakthrough, threw off James who was chasing behind him, went to the basket, and met Hickson's substitute. Defense, point the ball to Gasol, easily dunk!
O'Neill is so angry, he just ran back with great effort, and turned around to attack again.

Brown also knew that after running for a few minutes, O'Neal had already been unable to keep up with the rhythm, and if he continued to stay on the court, he would not be able to give the team much help.

"Dick!" Brown could only call a timeout, ready to replace O'Neal. He wanted to change the team's offensive system and play fast breaks like the Lakers. Poor pull back.

"The Lakers can always surprise people. I really didn't expect that their family would hide such a killer move." Director Zhang was a little surprised, why the Lakers had never used this lineup before.

"Director Zhang, there is one more thing that you haven't noticed. This lineup, except Gasol, can't defend the outside line. Even Odom can keep up with the speed of many outside players." Yang Yi said himself idea.

"Really, it is indeed an offensive and defensive lineup. The most terrifying thing is the playoffs. Their lineup can score about 30 points per game. It is estimated that many teams will only have the chance to surrender directly when they encounter them. .” Director Zhang said with emotion.

The height is not the lineup, the strongest part, the most powerful is their speed, except for the center, the other players have the speed not weaker than the outside players.The defense made the offensive team feel suffocated, so depressing that it was hard to breathe.

"Shaq, how is your physical fitness now?" Brown asked eagerly.

"I need to take a break!" O'Neill's voice was a little low, obviously very tired.

Brown shook his head, so he had to rearrange his tactics and replace Big Z in advance.

Visiting team on the bench!

"Li, our lineup is really amazing, there is no opponent!" Artest was very excited. This season, this is the first time he has become the team's starting small forward when Li Tian is on the court.

"Calm, calm, like someone who has never seen the world." Odom said disdainfully.

It caused a burst of laughter in the locker room, and everyone has not forgotten that when the Lakers suddenly changed, this guy's reaction was much greater than that of Artest. The only difference was that he almost knelt down to Li Tian.
