Chapter 297 What is a TMD Surprise
After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Bulls 32-23 for the time being, and the form was very good.

After Su Yang concluded that the arrangement was completed, Kobe put his hand on his shoulder with a smile, as if he had an idea but didn't say anything.

"You want to go up and fight?"

Su Yang asked with a smile. Knowing that Kobe had rested for more than four minutes, he probably wanted to play again to maintain the Lakers' lead.

After all, at the beginning of the season, ESPN only gave the Lakers 69.5% when predicting the probability of each team winning the championship. The main reason was that the Lakers’ bench lineup was too poor. Stanley and McRoberts can still see things, but McGrady, Kapono, and Murphy are all at the level of the five scumbags.

Specific to this game, the Bulls' substitutes are CJ Watson, Ronnie Brewer, Taj Gibson, Kyle Korver, and potential center Omer Asik. At least one notch higher.

Kobe's worry about being chased and even overtaken has its reasons, but facing a group of teammates, he can't speak directly.

Seeing that Kobe just shrugged his shoulders in response, Su Yang said with a smile: "Sit down honestly, Mike will talk to him about our new tactics."

"OK!" Assistant coach Mike Brown gladly took the order.

Su Yang pointed to Bynum who was about to enter the court again: "You have it too, sit still for me, and learn how to shoot three-pointers."

Bynum was dumbfounded when he heard the words. In the past, when Phil Jackson was coaching, either he or Kobe led the team at the beginning of the second quarter, but now Su Yang doesn't want any of them. It's so weird.

Su Yang turned to Mike Roberts and Troy Murphy and waved: "You two play the [-]th and [-]th positions. Remember the tactics you trained before running. If you have a three-point opportunity, you must shoot. It doesn't matter if you hit the iron. On the defensive end, just shrink to the basket for me Block the breakthrough..."

In Su Yang's view, the key task of the regular season is to ensure that the record enters the top half, and at the same time keep Kobe and other main players healthy. Give it a drill.

"McGrady goes up to small forward, Barnes at shooting guard, Fisher at point guard..."

Su Yang thought over and over again, and did not use rookie Ebanks and Lakers veteran Walton as small forwards. The main reason is that the stack series tactics need a ball-handling breakthrough player with a high basketball IQ. Ebanks can suddenly lose IQ, and Walton has IQ can not be sudden.

Only McGrady meets two conditions at the same time. Although the speed is slightly slower, it can make up for it with experience and talent.

"McGrady, we need you to tear the Bulls' defense apart with the ball and create easy scoring opportunities!"

McGrady nodded to express his understanding, and Su Yang picked up the tactical board again, and drew the stack series of tactical formations and running positions again.

drop~~~
The whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, and the second quarter officially started, and players from both teams entered the field one after another.

Seeing that the Lakers were all coming off the bench, Van Gundy smiled and said, "I'd like to see what new tricks Su Yang can play..."

The referee blew the whistle and the Bulls kicked off the ball from the backcourt. Unexpectedly, Watson was forced to make a mistake by Fisher.

The two teams switched offense and defense. The Lakers started with an inside and four outside formation, and the inside was McGrady standing in the short corner on the right. Murphy was standing in the left corner as a center. Barnes was standing in the right corner. Fisher Slowly advancing with the ball, Mike Roberts followed up simultaneously.

In the blink of an eye, Fisher dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, took advantage of the opportunity to cooperate with Roberts in a pick-and-roll, and cut in from the right.

Watson quickly squeezed through the wall to catch up, Gibson stepped back in small steps, and McGrady took the opportunity to run to the top of the arc.

Korver hurriedly started to catch up, but was interrupted by Watson and Gibson on the Bulls' side, and his speed was slightly slower.

With the audience watching, McGrady reached the top of the arc smoothly, raised his hand to receive the pass from Fisher, and then raised his aiming basket to try to shoot.

Korver instinctively raised his hand to try to interfere, which caused the whole person's center of gravity to move up. Seeing this, McGrady released the ball and broke through.

In the blink of an eye, Korver had no time to turn around and catch up, and Gibson was preparing to return to defend Roberts from the three-point line.

McGrady got a super wide open space, relied on his hard talent, tall and big strides, and quickly rushed to the reasonable collision zone. Seeing that Asik moved laterally from the left corner to defend, he immediately stopped and raised his hand to throw the ball to Mo, who was temporarily unguarded. Fei, the accuracy seems to be cheating.

Murphy received the ball, hesitant to defend against Gibson's flying dive, while Su Yang shouted from the sidelines: "Shoot!"

Immediately, the basketball was lifted into the air, glides down like a GPS positioning system, and hits the net with a thud.

"Gude, Weirui Goode..." Su Yang raised his hands and clapped his hands in encouragement, and the audience cheered along with him.

Troy Murphy is a typical tall white center in the NBA. He has a decent three-pointer, but if he is allowed to dribble and shoot like Nowitzki or make an emergency stop to catch and shoot, his shooting percentage will definitely drop. Three points is fine.

This is the case with the tactical characteristics of the Stack series. Relying on the shooter to stretch the space can also provide good opportunities for the shooter.

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, the Lakers team gathered inside to defend against breakthroughs and interfere with receiving the ball inside, and bypassed the pick-and-roll to shoot.

The Bulls took a pause and handed the ball to Asik Murphy with difficulty, but they had a bit of a matchup advantage through their size.

However, Murphy just raised his hands to interfere, and didn't fight much physically. Asik, the buttery player, got the ball out of the baseline by himself.

The referee blew his whistle to punish the violation and gave the Lakers the right to attack the ball in the backcourt.

The audience cheered and shouted. The Lakers were still in the one-in-four-out formation, but the ball-handler was replaced by Tracy McGrady.

The Bulls defended man-to-man as usual, but just after McGrady passed the center line, Roberts had an idea and directly made a trailing screen for McGrady.

The early offense was launched like that. McGrady threw Korver to the three-point line, and Fisher, who stopped inside, ran out simultaneously.

The paint area suddenly became extremely empty, and Asik did not dare to let Murphy in the corner be empty in view of the previous lesson. Brewer was determined to move laterally to defend and intercept McGrady, but Barnes had already bowed down and made an air cut to the baseline. The basket was ready, he could only watch.

With each breath, McGrady relied on his height, long legs, hard talent and rich experience to start and cut into the paint at the fastest pace. Although the speed was twice as slow as when he was young before the serious injury, he still Still take off steadily and score with one hand.

The basketball hit the net with a bang, and everyone in the Staples Center was boiling. Kobe, as an old friend of Tracy McGrady, excitedly stood up and punched and shouted.

Assistant coach Darwin Hamm sighed: "I didn't expect that Tracy could still play this kind of performance. It's so wonderful."

Su Yang smiled and nodded, knowing that it is normal for Hamm to have such a sense of surprise. If there is no change in the world line, McGrady is playing for the Hawks this season.

But in the middle and late seasons, McGrady was abandoned by Larry Drew many times, and those rejections almost destroyed McGrady's last spirit.

However, the Eagles used McGrady in the playoffs against the Green Kai, and let McGrady play 40+ minutes in a single game. McGrady also made 8 of 5 shots in a single quarter and scored 10 points. Injured, completely out of fire.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible for McGrady to become the core of offense and defense, and there is no problem with bringing a substitute.

After thinking about it, the Bulls handed the ball to Asik for a one-on-one match.

Murphy slammed hard and found that he couldn't defend, suddenly remembered what Su Yang said before the game, and immediately clapped his hands resolutely to try to steal.

The referee blew the whistle to punish the thug for a foul, and Murphy didn't regret it. After all, Su Yang said before the game that he could use a foul to deal with Asik.

Boos slowly sounded at the Staples Center. Asik stepped up to the free throw, and the first free throw was cracked, and the second free throw was also hit.

Roberts jumped up and grabbed the rebound, landed and handed it to McGrady. The Lakers launched a counterattack and the audience chanted letsgo.
Still starting with an inside and four outside formation, Fisher took advantage of his big butt to bully Watson, and firmly got stuck on the right waist.

McGrady dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, took advantage of Roberts' cover and broke through on the left, easily throwing Korver away.

Gibson wanted to help the delay, but Roberts opened the air cut too fast and had to follow closely.

The key point is that Roberts also took advantage of the air cut and took advantage of the opportunity to make a lower screen for Fisher, who was standing on the right waist before.

The Bulls' defensive formation encountered great challenges, but in the end it was Thibodeau's personal training, and the partial three-defense and two-two strategy was instantly activated.

Watson instead crossed the paint to intercept McGrady's breakthrough, while Korver ran 45 degrees to the right and switched to defending Fisher.

That speed is really fast, and that cooperation is really good!

But McGrady's first-class view of the court immediately stopped and twisted his hips to take off, twisting his body in the air and throwing the ball 45 degrees to the right.

The speed of the basketball was much faster than Korver's running speed. Fisher received the basketball first, took off steadily and shot a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Lakers' bench lineup scored 8 points in a row in a short period of time, and the lead expanded to 17 points. The Bulls hurriedly requested a timeout.

Kobe stood up and applauded excitedly. Su Yang smiled and said, "How is it? Surprised? Surprised?"
