Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 109 Let Luke Wharton Try It

It was just this shot that scared Divac to death.

Because he was hooking his waist and listening to Tang Shuai's tactical arrangement wholeheartedly, this almost made him throw himself on Tang Shuai.

Strong lock coach?

It's still game time!
That's not going to be on today's headlines tomorrow.

Fortunately, Divac used his two legs to stabilize, so this tragedy did not happen.

It's just that his legs were visibly trembling at this moment, as if he was struggling.

Sure enough, one leg was missing, and the combat effectiveness dropped a bit.

Zhao Hao is embarrassed, it turns out that you are nodding so fiercely, you are pretending!
The referee blows the whistle and the game continues.

Kobe attacked with the ball, and Divac stepped forward to pick and roll according to the tactical arrangement.

This... didn't block Jason Williams at all, and he squeezed past him.

Kobe took a step towards the paint, glanced at the two defenders in front of him and Pau Gasol who was ready to help defend inside.

He did not choose singles, but returned to Divac's hands.

This was Divac's point, and he shot directly.

Plan
It's hard.

Battier grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break again.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao rushed to the defensive route ahead of time, and this fast break was not completed.

But Pau Gasol, who was going down, rushed up, how did you break through the breakthrough of the 7-footer?
Zhao Hao really wants to say, I can break my hair and directly use it as a background board, and I can only look up and watch Gasol stand and dunk.

"What's wrong with the three of them?" The careful Kobe finally realized that something was wrong, and asked directly, frowning.

"Um, back to back after all, probably didn't have a good rest." Zhao Hao, who was not used to making small reports, naturally lied.

Kobe shook his head speechlessly, but he also understood that during the long regular season, there will be times when players perform abnormally.

"So if you want to win this game, you have to work hard." Kobe glanced at Zhao Hao and continued.

Want to work hard again?

Zhao Hao still remembers the last time he played against the Spurs, Corvo told him to work hard, and that game almost made him take off a layer of skin.

Running around like a small motor with Ginobili and helping defend Parker's French sports car at any time, it's really too much.

"I'll do my best too." Atkins said suddenly after receiving Zhao Hao's backcourt pass.

Yo, this stunned Kobe and Zhao Hao.

You, a guy who only knows how to score and doesn't care about defense, is desperate. Why is the sun coming out from the north?

Well, it's a contract year after all, and Atkins is going to show off.

Therefore, the temporary iron triangle composed of Kobe, Zhao Hao, and Atkins is ready to sound the horn of the Lakers' counterattack.

The game continued, and Divac still put up a high position to cover for Kobe, but the quality of the cover was still not very high.

Kobe chose to be strong this time, facing two defenders, and won two fouls.

Made two free throws.

Fight again in different places.

Gasol hit Mihm again in the low post, and Divac assisted in the defense, but sent a 2+1.

Then Zhao Hao shot a cold arrow from the outside and scored a three-pointer.

Then Battier and Atkins fought back one after another.

Scores come and go, but the point difference has never been narrowed.

After all, the Lakers' insiders are already weak, and now that Divac is still half disabled, they will naturally be unable to guard Gasol, an all-star insider.

Fortunately, the first quarter has been played for 6 minutes.

Tang Shuai finally waited for the time, and with a big wave of his hand, both Mim and Divac were taken down, and Odom and Grant were replaced again.

This is to kill the fifth child!
The head coach of the Grizzlies, Hubie Brown, quickly stood up from the coach's bench, watching the offensive and defensive rounds on the field anxiously.

These days, the reputation of the Death Five in the league is getting stronger and stronger. Even Popovich himself admitted that he has not found a way to crack the Death Five.

Of course, Hubie Brown has also heard these rumors, and he has also analyzed the Lakers' five small lineups in detail.

The only hope is that the Lakers' overall shooting feel is not good.

Grant made a pick-and-roll for Kobe in the high position. The quality of this pick-and-roll was very good, directly forcing the Grizzlies to switch defenses.

Gasol, who switched defenses, looked at Kobe nervously, his curly blond hair snorting.

Whoosh!
Corvo accelerated his breakthrough.

Can't keep up, Gasol.

Lorenzen White on the inside hurried over to help defend.

Kobe observed it, the chances were not too good, and the Grizzlies' defense was indeed good.

Therefore, the ball can only be given to Odom on the bottom line.

An embarrassing scene appeared on the court. Odom, who received a wonderful pass, dared not shoot a three-pointer!
This fucker made Kobe on the inside very angry.

If you don't shoot, the Grizzlies' defensive giants will double-team me in the next offensive round, and the rotation advantage of the five small lineups will be gone.

Zhao Hao on the side was also in a hurry, and hurried back to find an opportunity for an open seat.

The high-ranking Grant also understood, and made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Zhao Hao.

But there was Battier near the high position who didn't return to defense. When he saw Zhao Hao's opportunity, he rushed over.

This is probably the most embarrassing scene in Odom's career. The opponent actually let him shoot a three-pointer for a full three seconds.

Can only shoot.

Odom stepped up slightly.

Plan
This time the strength is enough, but the accuracy is not enough.

Zhao Hao really wanted to say, Odom, you stupid man, during the day, you didn't rest on your hands except for exerting force on your feet, did you?

Uh, it seems that American headlights are naturally big, so you really can't rest your hands!
It turned out that it was the fault of two waves of Anthurium!
Tang Shuai on the coach's bench stood up, and he glanced at Odom in surprise.

The players on the field can best judge the state of the players. Obviously, Battier deliberately let Odom shoot.

This defensive champion is very seasoned in experience and consciousness.

It's just that today's Odom can no longer be described as being in a bad state, because he doesn't dare to shoot at all.

Why dare not vote?

You must know that Odom this season has a 34% three-point shooting percentage, and he is not a rough guy who can't shoot at all.

So the reason why he didn't dare to shoot could only be because he knew that he would definitely miss the shot.

"Why don't you try replacing Butler?" Assistant coach Hamblen saw Tang Shuai's concern and suggested.

Tang Shuai glanced at Butler on the bench, then shook his head decisively.

Butler's condition is not good tonight, obviously a look of powerlessness, his playing will not bring significant changes to the Lakers' offense.

So this game can only rely on Kobe to come back against the sky.

As for other players.

Atkins is quite satisfactory, and he became active on the defensive end in today's game, but he is not the kind of person who can change the opponent's defensive strategy and affect the game.

Zhao Hao can open up space for Kobe, but from the start of the season to the present, with consecutive games and high-profile performances, the entire league now knows that he is a sharp shooter who can shoot super long.

No one dares to let him go!

And just by Zhao Hao, he can only open one side of space for Kobe, what about the other side?
"Let Luke Wharton go up and try." Tang Shuai thought for a while and said.
