Chapter 31

Supersonic attack, this time Ray Allen did not run, but dribbled the ball and directed his teammates.Then he asked Lewis to pick and roll with him. After the pick and roll, Kobe and Li Du switched defenses, and Kobe defended Ray Allen, and Li Du defended Lewis.

When Kobe saw Ray Allen like this, he smiled and said, "It's rare to see you lose your temper. Come on, give me another try!"

Ray Allen smiled and passed the ball to Lewis, "Kobe, I didn't lose my temper, I just want to know, how should a small man defend against a big man who has quick feet and can shoot three-pointers? Do you need to double-team Lewis?"

Ray Allen's idea is very good, big and small, especially inside, have an absolute advantage, not to mention Lewis is still a three-pointer, flexible inside, under normal circumstances, even if you are the league's top outside , It is also quite difficult to defend Lewis inside.

But what Ray Allen didn't expect was that Kobe actually smiled and said to Ray Allen: "I think you should think about how to comfort Rashad for a while."

Seeing that no one was coming to double-team him, Lewis began to hit Li Du with his back. He hit Li Du twice, but Li Du didn't move at all, and he didn't care. At the same time, he used his strength to turn around and put Li Duka behind him.

Lewis left Li Du behind, and then took advantage of the momentum to dunk.As soon as he jumped up, he felt that the lights in front of him dimmed, and a tall figure fell from the sky between him and the basket.

"Get down!" With a loud roar, Lewis felt that the basketball in his hand suddenly turned into a meteorite, and he smashed it to the ground with him.Lewis quickly let go of his hand, and the meteorite-like basketball flew behind him. He couldn't control his center of gravity, and fell to the ground.

At this time, Lewis looked up and saw that the figure that fell from the sky just now was actually Li Du who was left behind by him!
Li Du looked at Lewis condescendingly, did not speak, and did not go forward to pull Lewis up.Lewis sat on the ground in horror and looked at Li Du, as if Li Du was a demon descended from the world!A reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" keenly grasped this moment, which also became the origin of Li Du's frightening nickname later.

In fact, Li Du just looked at Lewis with disdain, then turned around and gave Kobe and the others a high-five.Ray Allen and Collison stepped forward to pull Lewis up. Ray Allen patted Lewis and asked, "Rashad, are you okay?"

Lewis shook his head and said, "I'm fine, thank you." Until now, the picture in his mind is still just now, a tall black figure descended from the sky, and he couldn't see his face clearly, until the pair of eyes were frighteningly bright, standing behind that person , It seems to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
This was Lewis' illusion. Li Du had no murderous intent at all just now. If it had been someone else, maybe he would have been fine at that time. Lewis' mentality is relatively fragile, and he may need to relax for several days.

Li Du slapped the ball out of bounds, and the Sonics sent the ball to the baseline.When Collison served, he wanted to find Ray Allen at first, but found that Li Du was closely guarding Ray Allen, so he had to find the team's second star, Rashad Lewis.

Coincidentally, Kobe, who was supposed to defend Lewis, left Lewis to Odom in order to enhance his defense on the outside.Odom was already a little lazy on defense, and he was not his own defender, so he left a gap for shooting!
"Chance!" Collison immediately threw the basketball at Lewis.

No one expected that when Lewis saw the basketball flying towards him, he didn't pick it up!Instead, he raised his hands and blocked the basketball!When Odom saw it, he quickly grabbed the falling basketball in his hand, swung his arm vigorously, and passed a long pass to Kobe who was running at the front.

Kobe didn't dribble at all after receiving the ball. He took advantage of the trend and jumped up high when his feet just stepped on the penalty area line. basket.

48 to 43, the Lakers have already led by 5 points.

"Pause, pause!" Supersonics head coach Bob Hill was almost mad!Quickly let Ray? Allen called a timeout.

Ray Allen didn't understand, what happened to Lewis?It was fine just now, why did it become like this after being blocked by Li Du?It shouldn't be, anyway, Lewis is also a professional player, so his mental quality can't be so bad!

In fact, not only the Sonics, but also the Lakers did not understand. Kobe even pulled Li Du and asked, "Li, what did you do to Rashad? How did you scare him like that?"

Li Du didn't understand either, and innocently argued: "Boss, I really didn't care about him. I didn't even exert my strength when blocking the shot! Who knows why he is so fragile! I am wronged, Boss!"

Odom laughed, put his arms around Li Du and laughed loudly: "It's okay, if you can really be scared like that, we wish you could scare all our opponents into fools!"

Bob Hill has been a head coach in the NBA for many years, plus he has been an assistant coach for decades, and he has never seen such a thing!At that time, he directly replaced Lewis and replaced him with his trusted substitute Damien Wilkins.

Damien is an undrafted player, so he plays very hard. He is 1 meters tall, has strong muscles, and his skills are not good, but with a hard-working spirit, he can now score 98 points and 9.8 assists per game With 1.9 rebounds, it can be said to be a qualified substitute.

Bob Hill's temper is not good, but at this time, he doesn't care about being angry. Replacing Lewis means that the offensive firepower of the Supersonics is greatly weakened. Although Damien is a qualified substitute, he is no match for Lewis. role.But the current situation of Lewis will only affect the entire team on the court!
Sighing, Bob Hill said to Ray Allen: "Ray, you will be the only one to organize the offense for a while. With Rashad like this, you are the only one on the team who can take the initiative to score."

Ray Allen nodded, but said nothing.Now he is the only Gemini left in the team, and what he needs to face is the stronger Lakers!
The timeout ends and both sides return to the field.After Ridnor dribbled the ball halfway through the court, he passed the ball to Ray Allen.

Facing Li Du's close defense, Ray Allen didn't dare to act rashly. He knew that the most amazing thing about this rookie was one-on-one. I'm afraid no one could break through his defense, even if this person was an inside player!
So Ray Allen beckoned Collison to come up and pick and roll with him. The moment Collison blocked Li Du, Ray Allen took a step to the right, making a look like he was about to break through, and Li Du forced his way past Corey. Sen, when he was about to give chase, Ray Allen flicked his wrist to the right and passed it to Damien who was lying in ambush in the right corner. Damien did not attack, but passed back to the standing Collison took one step inside the three-point line. Collison didn't stop after receiving the ball.

Ray Allen didn't start at all after receiving the ball, and directly hit the ball with a rebound.

The score became 45 to 48, and the Sonics were only 3 points behind.

Nice teamwork!Li Du also applauded the ball in his heart. The current Lakers can only play such a beautiful team offense occasionally.

The offense of the Lakers, Kobe is still sharp, the Lakers' internal and external cooperation is not weaker than the team's offense played by the Sonics under the leadership of Ray Allen, and even stronger!
By the end of the first half, the Lakers had a 57-50 lead of 7 points.

In the first half, Kobe scored 20 points alone, Li Du also scored 9 points and 1 block, Odom scored 8 points and 9 rebounds, Bynum scored 8 points and 8 rebounds, and the Lakers were in full swing.

For the Sonics, Ray Allen scored 18 points and made 9 of 3 three-pointers. The others scored very scatteredly. None of them scored close to double digits. The only thing worth mentioning is that Collison grabbed 11 rebounds .But these are not the most important. The most important thing is that Lewis has been in a trance since Li Du put a big cap on the ground. If he can't recover, the Supersonics can directly admit defeat in the second half.

After all, no matter how rich Ray Allen's attacking methods are, he is also facing a player known as a "magic rookie" who has achieved defensive achievements. In the first half, Ray Allen has already used all his tricks, and his physical strength has also been exhausted. Quick, if this continues, Ray Allen will be exhausted in the third quarter!
