Chapter 241 Fighting with all strength

Li Du's strategy against the Lakers is progressive. In the second stage, the trick "attacking the enemy must be saved" is actually similar to the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao in "36 Strategies".The point difference between the two teams was 15 points. The Lakers were unable to recover in the first half. What happened in the second half depends on the situation on the field.

Old Nelson and Li Du both understood that the overall strength of the Lakers is actually much stronger than the Warriors. The main reason why they are behind now is that they were tricked by Li Du. A fierce battle!
With Li Du's strategy, at the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Lakers 59 to 44 by 15 points, but Li Du did not relax because of the big lead. At the last ball of the first half, he saw Kobe's murderous expression and eyes.Familiar with Kobe, he understands that in the second half, Kobe will attack with all his strength and take over the game.

Whether or not they can guard against Kobe, who is in scoring mode, is the key to whether the Warriors can win!

In the Lakers locker room, Kobe punched the door of the locker room with a grim expression!He just realized that he was tricked by Li Du!A little brother trained by himself actually played the entire Lakers around in the game!
"Kobe!" Gasol patted Kobe on the shoulder from behind, persuading him: "We are only temporarily behind. We were negligent in the first half. In the second half, we directly used our absolute strength to fight against the Warriors. Win!"

Kobe nodded silently and didn't say much.Zen master saw Kobe's expression and knew that Kobe, a very competitive guy, wanted to put aside all tactics and control the game according to his own ideas.So he called everyone together and arranged: "We were caught off guard in the first half. In fact, the Warriors are very weak, and Li Du is far from as strong as we imagined. Kobe, you will lead the second half."

Seeing Kobe nodding his head slightly, Zen Master turned his head and told Gasol, "Paul, in the second half, you should play high pick-and-rolls with Kobe in offense, and Bynum will guard the basket in defense, and you will be responsible for the defense."

"Okay!" Gasol patted his face lightly, ready to go all out.

Zen master thought for a while, and finally said: "As for the rookie and Jamal, just follow closely. They scored so many points in the first half because we put the focus of defense on Li Du and really let them face the defense on their own. Go attack, they don't have that strong offensive ability!"

The Lakers came back to think about it and began to arrange tactics. At the same time as the Warriors, Old Nelson was also thinking about dealing with the Lakers.

Old Nelson and Li Du both deeply understood that in the second half, the Lakers will be dominated by Kobe and Gasol, bringing the game back to the kind of game rhythm that the Lakers hoped for, competing for overall strength or individual strength.Although Li Du's strategy is good, it is not a panacea.In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is useless. It is already a surprise to end the first half with a 15-point lead over the Lakers!
"Li, in the second half, it will be time for you to really fight Kobe!" Old Nelson reminded Li Du.

Li Du nodded silently, his eyes full of anticipation!The reason why he used these tactics in the first half was to irritate Kobe!
From the first time the two played against each other, Li Du could see that Kobe and other Lakers players still regarded him as a good brother and a good teammate. When they played against each other, it was more about learning from each other and not having any fighting spirit. , Bryant did not give full play.

Li Du hopes to play against Kobe, who is doing his best, so that he can realize how strong Kobe is, and how far the Warriors are from the Lakers!Provoking Kobe was the most direct way Li Du could think of!
Others looked at Li Du one after another, waiting for Li Du to speak.Li Du looked around for a week, and then seriously said to Old Nelson: "Coach, don't worry everyone! I will try my best to defend Kobe, and I want to prove to everyone that we are not weaker than any other team!"

As soon as the second half started, Kobe directly faced Li Du!
Kobe stared at Li Du with a cold voice: "Li, you provoked me in the first half, so you want to fight me with all your strength? If so, I will help you!"

Li Du nodded. He heard the infinite fighting spirit from Kobe's voice. He stepped forward and came to Kobe, saying, "Boss, I want to see how strong the Black Mamba is!"

Speaking of this step, the two of them have nothing to worry about.And Kobe also wanted to understand, Li Du wanted Kobe to treat him as a real opponent, not the little brother who followed him in the past!
Holding the ball slightly lowered with both hands, Kobe took three consecutive tentative steps. On the surface, it seemed that there was not much difference from the movements in the first quarter, but Li Du's center of gravity shook for a while, and he was almost broken by Kobe!
With his legs clamped, Li Du instantly stabilized his center of gravity and screamed loudly.Kobe's three-point tentative step looks basically the same as a normal movement. A normal tentative step is just a step out, and his center of gravity does not move. But when Kobe took these three steps just now, his own center of gravity moved with his steps. Shaking, it means breaking through with all your strength.

The reason why Li Du's defense makes it difficult for other players to break through is that besides his near-perfect physical fitness, extremely fast speed, strong strength, and outstanding jumping, the most important thing is that he has practiced Chinese martial arts for many years and has a good grasp of the laws of the human body. Meticulous, as long as he sees the opponent's movements, he can know whether the opponent wants to break through, shoot, or fake.

Kobe didn't care whether his actions were real or not just now, relying entirely on his offensive instincts over the years, he even mobilized his center of gravity completely!

When Li Du stabilized his center of gravity, Kobe suddenly pulled up, raised his hand and made a slightly backward jumper!

When Li Du wanted to jump up again, he was surprised to find that his feet could not exert force, so he could only watch Kobe pull up on the spot and shoot!

After the ball was scored, Kobe also landed, looked back at Li Du, did not speak, and then ran back to his side of the field, with his hands open, waiting for Li Du to attack.

Li Du grinned, just now Kobe made a jump shot while his heart was heavy, which made him have no chance to use his strength, but this kind of trick was used on him once, and it will be useless in the future.Kobe hit the ball just now based on his familiarity with Li Du's defensive style. As long as Li Du notices this, he will not make such mistakes again.

The Warriors attacked, Li Du asked for the ball from Curry, faced Kobe, made a cross step, followed by a large change of direction, and before he was about to change direction, his center of gravity kept shaking, flickering left and right right.Kobe couldn't keep up for a while, and was rushed by Li Du in a tiger shape.

Li Du rushed into the Lakers basket, and Gasol and Bynum came to defend at the same time, but Li Du didn't have any intention of passing the ball at all, and jumped up to face them!
