Chapter 90 Christmas War ([-])

Although Pat Riley was also wary of Li-Du's long-range shots at the beginning, he also knew that in the game against the Lakers, most of the defensive attention would still be focused on Kobe. The limit is not bad, but you must not take it lightly because of this. There is absolutely no doubt about Kobe's scoring ability.

White couldn't keep up with Li Du, and Pat Riley also made corresponding adjustments, that is, to switch defenses!As long as Li Du gets rid of White, when he receives the ball, the person closest to him will immediately let go of his defender and go to Li Du.

It's a pity that Pat Riley's so-called "magic fortune teller" didn't count that Li Du's shooting is so terrifying. No matter who throws it, Li Du can always make a shot the moment he catches the ball. The speed of the shot is probably faster than Ray Allen is not slow either.What's even more frightening is Li Du's shooting rate. No matter how fast the shot is or how smooth the shooting arc is, Li Du has always maintained a terrible shooting rate that every ball must be hit!

Finally, when Li Du hit the sixth consecutive three-pointer, Pat Riley couldn't sit still. He called a long timeout. One was to temporarily cool down Li Du's fiery touch, and another reason was to think about it. How to deal with it.

O'Neal also couldn't understand it, and muttered to himself: "How did this guy Kobe change his gender today? He usually takes a lot of shots. Why are they all passed to that Chinese kid today?"

When Pat Riley heard this, he quickly called the person in charge of statistics, took out Kobe's statistics tonight, and patted his head, "So it is! Well done, but Li Du made 8 of 2 three-pointers! It seems that Kobe wants Li Du to end the attack!"

Pat Riley really wants to shift the focus of defense. He is very clear about Li Du's offensive style, and his offensive ability with the ball is very weak. As long as the Heat's defense focus is on Li Du, Li Du has no chance to catch the ball and shoot. , Li Du's attack can be regarded as useless!

As long as Li Du's offense is useless, and Kobe's hand feeling is not good today, and the rest of the Lakers are mediocre, the Heat will have a great chance of winning this Christmas game that is attracting worldwide attention today!
Pat Riley resisted the inner impulse, he kept telling himself, can't do this!The current Kobe is like a demon king with most of his power sealed away. Once the seal is even a little bit loose, this demon king will bring a devastating blow to the Heat!

After hesitating for a long time, Pat Riley finally let out a long sigh and told the players: "In addition to Dwyane insisting on not leaving Kobe, our defensive focus should be on Kobe! That Chinese kid made a shot. No matter how high the rate is, he is a rookie, and his shooting stability may not be very good! Also, when everyone is changing defenses and jumping out, they can jump harder and earlier, even if Li Du shakes him away! As long as Stop him from shooting three-pointers, let him shoot long-distance two-pointers! The Lakers can't prevent us!"

Wade quietly asked O'Neal: "Shaq, what do you think? What if I go to attack Li-Du's outside line and let Kobe go temporarily? I don't think Kobe's desire to attack is that strong today!"

O'Neal shook his head and sighed: "Dwyane, you don't know Kobe well enough! That guy doesn't seem to have a strong desire to attack today, that's because his desire to win has reached its peak! In order to win the game, he is willing to be there Pass the ball for Li Du and attract the defense for the team, but you must not relax! Once that guy's offensive firepower is turned on, there is no solution!"

"As for Li Du..." O'Neal shook his head lightly, "No matter how good he is, he's still just a rookie. Even if he's shooting, he's bound to be flawed! We can only listen to the coach now, anyway, our score with the Lakers is about the same now. , none of us can close the gap. We can solve the problem slowly in the game first!"

"Hmm...Okay." Wade also had to admit that in this situation, no one can do anything!

After playing again, the Heat became more resolute against Li Du, but did not relax their defense against Kobe at all.When it was the Heat's turn to attack, O'Neal blocked Li Du for Wade, and the Lakers also had no good way to restrict it.

Both sides come and go, no one can do anything about the other, the first half of the game ended in the confrontation between the two teams.The Lakers lead by one point, 53 to 52.

At this time, everyone understood that the Lakers and the Heat have nothing to do with each other. The two sides have fallen into a deadlock. Whoever breaks this deadlock first will greatly increase the winning rate of the game!
During the half-time break, the TV media, commentators and commentators who broadcast the game live began to give advice for both sides.

In the live broadcast room of CCTV, Yu Jia said to Director Zhang: "Now the two sides are in a confrontational situation. It can be said that no one can take the other side. Director Zhang, what do you think the Lakers and the Heat should do at this time?"

Director Zhang has always been towards the Lakers, but he first talked about the Heat. He said: "In fact, the current situation seems to be a stalemate between the two sides, but it is actually even more unfavorable to the Heat! The reason why the Heat can now draw with the Lakers is that Because Wade's breakthrough drove the whole team, but Li Du was defending Wade today. Wade also wanted to use his own strength to break through Li Du's defense in one-on-one at the beginning of the game. Facts have proved that this method is not feasible. , that's why O'Neal had to block Li Du for Wade, so that Wade had room to break through!"

"In this way, it seems that Wade is liberated, but the Heat must use O'Neal a lot because of this! You know, O'Neal is not young now, he usually only plays more than 20 minutes in a game. Play like this today , O'Neal may have to play 345 minutes! This is a huge challenge to his physical strength, once O'Neal's physical strength is exhausted, Wade will have to face the one-on-one situation with Li Du again!"

In the end, Director Zhang concluded: "So, what the Heat need most now is to take advantage of O'Neal's dominance inside and Wade's scoring as soon as possible when O'Neal's physical strength is still sufficient and has not been consumed a lot. Pull it away!"

Yu Jia nodded in agreement. He actually thought of this question in his mind, but how to defend the Lakers, to be precise, how to defend Kobe and Li Du, is what the Heat need to solve. "As for the Lakers, what do you think Director Zhang should do to improve?"

Director Zhang thought for a while before saying: "The Lakers have done a good job today, especially Kobe. He has given full play to his role as a leader. You can see that Kobe didn't score much today, but look at his statistics. In the first half , Kobe has already got 7 assists! This shows that Kobe is linking up the team and creating opportunities for Li Du, who is playing the leading role on both offense and defense today!"

When director Zhang said this, he also laughed: "Li Du is amazing today. He has made 7 of 7 three-pointers and maintained a [-]% hit rate. This may also be an NBA record!"
