Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 106 5 consecutive victories

Okafor was slightly embarrassed. In order not to let the embarrassment continue, he could only come to the bottom line and kicked basketball as if venting.

This ball is a traitor!

The second quarter is over.

After the Lakers entered the five small lineups, the Bobcats were even more unable to resist, and were completely beaten without any power to fight back.

Kobe had already scored 25 points in the first half, and with this defense, he might be able to score 40 points if he continued to play.

Zhao Hao also hit two three-pointers, all of which were Okafor's words after Odom's pick-and-roll.

It is agreed to shoot him in the face, then there must be one on the left and one on the right.

However, Okafor's talent is really not something to brag about. He also scored 12 points and 7 rebounds after halftime.

It's just that this data makes Tang Shuai in the coach's seat a little unhappy.

At the end of the halftime game, although the Lakers led the Bobcats by 55:42 by a full 13 points.

But it actually allowed the Bobcats insider Okafor and Mozbrezek to score 25 points!
Okafor?Just a newcomer!

So far this season, he has only averaged 13.8 points per game, but now he scored 12 points in the first half!
And Mozbrezek?
Seeing his stats last season, Tang Shuai was about to growl.

A ruthless man who averaged 1.6 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game, the Lakers even allowed him to score 13 points in the paint at halftime!
Even after Mozbrezek came to the Bobcats this season, his strength has improved significantly, averaging 13 points per game.

But 13 points in the half is too exaggerated.

"Tang Shuai, our small lineup actually didn't allow the Bobcats to get too many points in the second quarter, mainly in the first quarter."

Looking at Tang Shuai's gloomy expression, Hamblen said hesitantly.

"I know that the problem lies in the first half of the first quarter. If it weren't for Bobcats point guard Brevin Knight who shot indiscriminately from the outside before the opening, our inside line might have lost more than this point."

Tang Shuai said with some displeasure.

Of course he had already discovered this.

The death five small lineup emphasizes double-teaming and rotation, so even if the inside line is full of misplaced defenses, there is no need to worry about being completely blown out.

After all, double-teaming and rotation are the most likely to cause opponents to make mistakes.

So the crux of the problem lies with Mihm and Divac.

Meme, Shuai Tang didn't even bother to talk about it.

As an insider, he doesn't help defend and guard the penalty area at all. All he thinks about inside is singles, singles, and singles all day long.

The point is, if you have Yao Ming's nimble touch, Tang Shuai also thinks it's good to make your meme happy playing singles, and he is eager to pick up his housekeeping skills.

But the main thing is that you don't have it!

As for Divac.

Tang Shuai knew very well that it wasn't that he was bad at defending, but that he was too old.

It's a bit unrealistic for Divac at this age to use his housekeeping skills to defend in the regular season.

Therefore, after this game, Tang Shuai's desire to have a defensive center who is willing to do the dirty work has become stronger.

After all, the current Lakers are no longer the team that had to think carefully about whether they could even make it to the playoffs at the beginning of the season.

Tang Shuai can confidently say that if the Lakers continue to play at the current pace, there is absolutely no problem making it to the playoffs, and they can even compete for the rankings.

"So, it's time to have a good talk with Kupchak." Tang Shuai said with a deep breath.

The game continued in the second half.

This time Tang Shuai completely abandoned Mim's first appearance and consumption, but directly took the defensive version of the death five small lineup.

Grant will go inside to guard the penalty area, Odom will pay attention to assisting defense at all times, and Zhao Hao, Kobe Bryant, and Terry Brown will be on the outside. The Lakers are the best defensive pioneers on the outside.

As soon as this lineup came up, the Bobcats' offense really became very difficult.

Especially the two points of Okafor and Gerald Wallace were completely strangled by Grant and Zhao Hao.

Needless to say, Okafor, after being directly switched by Grant, all kinds of strong defenses.

After all, Grant is also a defensive leader produced by the Heat, and it is not easy to defend you as a rookie in the league.

And Gerald Wallace, the future Elvis Presley, defended by Zhao Hao, also played very aggrieved.

This season's Elvis Presley hasn't evolved into a future All-Star player, and his offense is rough.

Most of the time he can only choose to cut inside or play singles with the ball.

Zhao Hao was almost laughed at by this buddy, your singles with the ball is definitely the roughest I have ever seen since entering the league.

There was no change in rhythm at all, only knowing how to use the body to die.

The point is, you don't have the tough body of Josh Smith of the Eagles, and your height is only 201cm. Who do you want to challenge?

Moreover, Gerald Wallace's shooting ability is also poor, just now he shot a non-stick off-court hollow in front of Zhao Hao.

This shooting ability absolutely failed the NBA.

Zhao Hao also knew that Gerald Wallace was not as angry as he imagined, otherwise the Bobcats would not have chosen him as the cornerstone of the team.

As the No. 25 pick in the first round, Gerald Wallace has no problems whether it is physical talent, defensive awareness or enthusiasm.

The biggest problem is that his shooting is extremely unstable, which is why he hasn't made his mark in the Kings for three years.

Because of the extremely lack of offensive means, this also makes Gerald Wallace often become an existence that is emptied by opponents.

This also seriously hindered the Kings' offensive rotation, so things that were later abandoned by the management appeared.

However, Zhao Hao still remembers that the future Gerald Wallace can be regarded as up-to-date.

In the next season, the overall shooting percentage increased to 50%, and the three-point shooting percentage reached 34%.

This time, the defender didn't know how to defend him at all, and Gerald Wallace became the team's number one star.

Back to the game.

The third quarter is over, and the Lakers lead the Bobcats by 80:62 by a full 18 points.

And Kobe naturally scored 30+ again, with 31 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, he clocked out of get off work early.

Tang Shuai was also bold. In the fourth quarter, he directly replaced Odom and Kobe, let Zhao Hao and Butler, who can play singles, play, and the rest were all substitutes.

Even Vujacic and Luke Walton got a chance to play.

In the end, no miracle happened.

Although the NBA has never been short of miracles, the Bobcats are.

beep!beep!
The referee blows the whistle and the game is over.

The Bobcats, who were beaten helplessly throughout the game, naturally lost.

The Lakers won the game by a big score of 103:90.

The team has won 5 consecutive victories, which has become the best start data for the Lakers since 2000.

After the game, Tang Shuai naturally called the team's first and second leaders, and Kobe and Butler went to the press conference.

And Zhao Hao naturally turned around to see if that Hanhan from the New York Times was here.

Well, I'm not here, so I'll talk about it after I trouble him.
