Chapter 190
Kobe smiled and walked into the player tunnel with Li Du, saying: "What kind of conspiracy can there be! They just have a hard time making a choice. They will definitely make adjustments in the second half, and they will definitely play from the outside. At that time, your The defensive task is heavy!"

In the first half, Li Du was quite relaxed. After all, the Celtics mainly attacked the inside and Pierce seldom attacked. Moreover, Li Du's defensive strategy was to try not to let Pierce receive the ball. Even if Pierce occasionally received the ball, Li Du In the mode of explosive physical strength, he can also be guarded.

This created a false impression for the Celtics - Pierce seemed unable to break through Li Du's defense!

That's why Rivers found it difficult. He originally thought that Pierce had a great advantage in the same position as the Lakers. After all, the Lakers didn't have a particularly good defensive player at the small forward position.Kobe and Li Du are indeed very good defensively, but that is only in terms of the same position. Li Du is particularly good at defending guards, but according to Rivers' observation, when he defends small forwards, his effect is much worse.

It makes sense when you think about it. After all, Li Du is a defender with a height of less than two meters. It is really difficult for him to defend against a very strong person who is close to 2 meters.

But Rivers didn't expect that Pierce would find it difficult to get a shot under Li Du's defense.This made Rivers difficult. Is Ray Allen really going to make a breakthrough?In that case, the Lakers' defense will shrink, but that's a safe shrinking, don't worry about making cold shots from the outside, the Lakers are absolutely willing to do so!

In this difficult time of choice, Rivers is indeed an excellent coach. He brought everyone together, and then analyzed the current situation and the changes that need to be made to everyone. Most importantly, he explained The reason why he struggled to make adjustments in the first half.

This is the case with many things. In fact, as long as you talk about it, you can come up with countermeasures immediately after you explain it clearly!

After listening to Rivers' analysis, Pierce immediately stated: "Coach, let me be the main attacker in the second half. I will be the spearhead to break through the Lakers' defense."

Without waiting for Rivers to ask, Pierce then explained: "Actually, the reason why I rarely took shots in the first half was because I wanted to open from the inside and try to let the inside attack. Since we need to make changes now, it's up to me." Come on! In the second half, I will strengthen my offense."

With Pierce's words, Rivers was finally relieved.

So at the beginning of the second half, when the Lakers were still in the starting lineup and Odom was defending him, Pierce succeeded in attacking one after another, looking like he wanted to reverse the point difference.

If it was any other team, the situation might have really been reversed. It is a pity that the Celtics met the Lakers this time. They are old and cunning Zen masters. Li Du of the Art of War.

While the Celtics strengthened their perimeter offense, the Lakers also strengthened their perimeter offense. The most obvious thing was that the Lakers relied on Kobe and Gasol to score in the first half. Just act as a pinch point.

Rondo was defending Li Du, and Li Du hardly moved in the first half, so his defensive task was also very easy, but as Li Du started to shoot, his defensive pressure suddenly increased tenfold!First of all, he couldn't keep up with Li Du's erratic running position. As a result, Li Du made two consecutive three-pointers.

When the Celtics strengthened their guard on Li Du and others filled up after Rondo was thrown off, Kobe and Gasol's high pick-and-roll began to turn as the engine of the triangle offense.The Lakers' offensive efficiency was suddenly higher than that of the Celtics. Not only did the point difference not narrow, but it was stretched to 8 points!
Rivers quickly called a timeout again.He had to admit that in the first match between the two teams, at least in terms of tactics, he lost to Zen Master!
At this time, Rivers had no choice but to resort to the last killer trick, the Big Three played at the same time, Rondo and Perkins assisted from the side, the Big Three no longer fought on their own, and no longer entangled with the Lakers in the matchup!
From this time on, the real power of the Celtics to form the Big Three began to emerge!The first place the Lakers were attacked turned out to be the outside line!
The strongest perimeter defense in the league jointly forged by Kobe and Li-Du finally showed a flaw under the joint attack of Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen and Rondo!

Rondo dribbles across half court, and Kobe waits for him inside the three-point line.This is the best defensive strategy to deal with a point guard like Rondo who has no outside shooting ability.Rondo also knew his weakness, so he stood still outside the three-point line, and then Garnett and Pierce came up at the same time to do a double pick-and-roll for Rondo.

Kobe was blocked, Rondo moved laterally to Pierce, Kobe and Odom had to switch, and just after they switched, Rondo passed the ball to Pierce, and Garnett ran a pick-and-roll with Pierce.This time, a flaw appeared in the Lakers' perimeter.

But it's okay. When Pierce just passed the pass to Garnett, who was down, Li Du was already in place.Garnett didn't stop at all, with a big wave of his hand, the ball was passed to Ray Allen's hands.Finally, there was an open shot opportunity, how could Ray Allen miss it, raised his hand and hit a three-pointer, and the point difference returned to 5 points again.

Seeing the Celtics who were high-fiving each other and returning to defense, Li Du gritted his teeth and wanted to stomp his feet, and then began to explode in physical strength mode.

Kobe quickly grabbed Li Du, "Li, don't do this! Save your physical strength until the last quarter to explode. Since the Celtics are fighting with us, we will also fight with them. Our matchup The advantage is much greater than them!"

Li Du nodded, obeyed Kobe's order, and began to move.

This time, when Li Du started running, he immediately realized that the Celtics had changed their tactics.The person who followed him changed from Rondo to Ray Allen, and Pierce defended Kobe.

Ray Allen himself is also a top running player. Li Du still learned many running principles from him. Now he is defending against Li Du. It will be much more difficult for Li Du to get rid of him. Under the premise of this, Li Du had no idea.

Kobe was even more excited when he saw Pierce defending himself. This is two teams ace vs. ace, how could Kobe back down!
Two consecutive crotch disguises, Kobe shook Pierce half a step, and rushed to the inside as soon as his shoulders sank.Pierce was not completely passed by Kobe. He continued to try to stick to Kobe and prevent Kobe from going straight to the inside.

At this time, the most exciting goal of the game appeared.
