Chapter 316 Promise not to use Kobe first

In the American Airlines Arena, the MVP cheered one after another.

LeBron and his teammates high-fived one by one, and then stood on the free throw line. The first free throw hit the basket and the net, and the second was hollow.

The Lakers got the ball instead, and the Heat immediately executed a full-court press defense. Su Yang got up and made tactical gestures towards the court.

Generally, after timeouts or free throws, you can use the team's full preparation time to play a tactic, but the Heat's inside defense is a weak point, and they especially like local zone defense to exert pressure. The Lakers can play elbow tactics and score easily in a targeted manner.

Seeing Su Yang's gesture, Bynum and others hurriedly executed the corner position, only Kobe seemed a little bit reluctant.

Seeing Kobe's upset look, Su Yang felt a little happy. He knew that Kobe wanted to play an answer ball. The main reason was that LeBron grabbed two offensive rebounds in a row and caused a foul. The superhero effect must make Kobe want to challenge.

The corners of the court were completed in a blink of an eye. Gasol and Bynum stood on the left and right elbows, Kobe and Artest stood on the left and right corners, and the Heat players used man-to-man defensive positions. He also pretended to be ready to shrink at any time.

Fisher ran to the left 45 degrees with the ball, passed the ball to Gasol on the left elbow, and then ran to the left corner.

The Elbow tactic suddenly started. Kobe pretended to use Fisher to cover the outside cut, but in fact he stopped and ran back to the basket. Wade got stuck first and was half a step behind in reaction. Air fit neatly.

Joel Anthony hurriedly shrunk and tried to make up for the defense, but Kobe didn't dunk and pushed the ball directly to the net, easily scoring 2 points.

The booing in the arena stopped suddenly, and TNT commentator Isiah Thomas sighed slightly: "Kobe has changed! From the previous pass and the layup just now, he has become more team-oriented and more efficient, even if he still breaks through double-teams Dunk dunks..."

In the transition between offense and defense on the court, Chalmers dribbled forward, but LeBron stretched out his hands to ask for the basketball at the same time, making it clear that he wanted to attack.

Chalmers hurriedly gave the ball, and LeBron took the ball and accelerated, rushing to the left wing, just in time to form an early offensive backscreen with Chalmers, taking the opportunity to throw away Artest and go to the left sideline to break through, other Heat players hurriedly pulled space.

But Artest bypassed the screen and intercepted without worry, and LeBron really didn't rush to shoot a three-pointer, but stopped and turned around.

Seeing this, Joel Anthony immediately stepped forward and set up a wall for cover.LeBron once again took the opportunity to get rid of Artest, rushed two steps to grab the ball, ignored Bynum's defense, kicked off the ground strongly, gliding far in the air, twisted his body and shook his wrist to pick the basket.

The basketball slammed into the basket and was caught, the cheers in the American Airlines Arena burst instantly, and Pat Riley also showed a hint of satisfaction.

"This is the best effort Zhan..."

Su Yang sighed: "But he is the only one who is so fierce, he can't change the situation, and the difficulty of scoring is so high."

"Hey..." Mike Brown laughed dryly, maybe because he had coached LeBron and didn't know what to say.

The offense and defense switched on the court, and the Lakers continued their elbow tactics.

After Fisher handed over the ball, he ran to the left bottom corner wall to cover, and Kobe also repeatedly stopped and ran back to attack the basket.

The Heat decisively chose to switch defenses, Chalmers blocked Kobe's route to the basket, and Bosh also interfered with Gasol's pass.

According to the tactical change option, Fisher immediately retreated to the left wing to receive Gasol's return pass, while Kobe took the opportunity to back up and get stuck.

How can Chalmers' small body block Kobe, the card position is easily completed, and Fisher simultaneously hits the ground to the ball.

Perhaps because he knew he couldn't defend himself, Chalmers slammed around the back to grab the basketball, and Bosh turned around from the elbow area before shrinking the limit.

But that little trick, Kobe has experienced too much, first raise the ball with both hands to protect, and then make a gesture to pass the ball.

In the blink of an eye, Chalmers missed the air and lost his defensive position. Bosh was also tricked back to the defense, and the area under the basket became empty.

In the surprised eyes of the audience, Kobe seemed to be walking in his back garden, took two easy steps, and scored a low-handed layup.

In the TNT commentary seat, Reggie Miller said: "After the opening game, the Lakers shot 100% and currently lead the Heat 15 to 4. Even if LeBron scored every goal in the future, the Heat can't see hope of tying. Need to defend!"

In the offensive and defensive transition on the court, LeBron took the ball and ran to the left wing of the frontcourt, neither commanding his teammates to move, nor passing the ball.

The rest of the Heat understood that kind of action, and they spread out to stretch the space around, while the Lakers were ready to shrink.

The audience saw LeBron continue to play singles, cheering wave after wave, some even stood up and applauded.

I saw LeBron slowly dribbling the ball to the top of the arc. After several awkward crotch changes, he suddenly dropped his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity to break through on the right. He took two big strides to the free throw line and took the ball in his arms. In the arms, he made a three-step layup.

boom!The basketball rebounded and fell, and the referee blew his whistle at the same time to call Artest for a foul because of pushing someone.

Artest frowned on the spot, raising his elbow and gesticulating at the referee, shouting: "Why didn't he use his elbow to clear the way? I just put it on my waist and didn't defend you at all. Can't you see it? How can this ball be called a foul? I didn't interfere at all..."

Before the words fell, the referee blew his whistle again, calling Artest for a technical foul and giving the Heat an extra free throw opportunity.

"Damn..." Artest waved his hands excitedly and wanted to argue with the referee, but Fisher quickly pulled him away.

Su Yang smiled and waved to Barnes to replace Artest, and said by the way: "If LeBron continues to fight one-on-one, you can let him shoot according to the situation. It doesn't matter if you let him hit a few. Just divide..."

Barnes nodded again and again to express his understanding, then ran into the court to replace Artest who needed to calm down, and communicated with Kobe and the others.

The Heat made free throws at the same time, perhaps for convenience, LeBron executed a technical foul free throw, and the result was a bang.

And the Heat directly Spoelstra hurriedly arranged for the players how to defend the Lakers' elbow tactics, blushing with anxiety.

Then there was a shooting foul and free throws. MVP cheers resounded through the American Airlines Arena again, and LeBron made two free throws steadily.

The ball was transferred to the Lakers again, and the elbow tactical formation was still used. Gasol took the ball in the left elbow area for the third time.

After Fisher passed the ball, he set up a screen on the left corner wall step by step, but this time Kobe did not stop and run back, but really ran out and cut to attack the basket, which made Wade unable to adapt in a hurry. But Joel Anthony retracted to help out the delay.

Joel Anthony is implementing Spoelstra's defensive arrangement, and Bynum's mid-range and long-range two-pointers are so low, it doesn't matter if he goes short.

But Su Yang has already predicted Spoelstra's prediction, the key elbow tactic, the Lakers usually train frequently, because there are two power forwards who can support the elbow zone, Gasol and McRoberts, cooperate with Fisher's short and strong screen, and Kobe has no Ball movement is a series of tactics that are especially suitable for the Lakers, so for the Heat's defensive strategy, I know very well how to deal with it.

I saw Bynum cut inside, quickly stopped at the top of the free throw coil, set up a wall as a positioning screen to block Wade.

Kobe came out at the same time, received a pass from Gasol, and faced Joel Anthony, who was switched on the left elbow, playing small and big.

After continuously changing hands and shaking his crotch, Kobe started to break through with heavy shoulders, but stopped suddenly, turned around and raised his hands to change the rhythm, then raised his hands to pretend to shoot, and flew Joel Anthony who was trying to block the shot. Finally, he took up and down steps and swooped forward Low-handed pick the basket and hit the board.

boom!Basketball strikes the iron.

The fans cheered after seeing this, but Bynum followed up and grabbed an offensive rebound, took off from the spot and dunked heavily with both hands, and the basketball exploded into the net.

17 to 6, the Lakers still lead by 11 points.

In the TNT commentary seat, Miller said: "The Lakers continue to implement the elbow series of tactics, which is a sign of completely abandoning the triangle offense. If they succeed in winning the championship this year, the reputation of the triangle offense will further decline. What do you think?"

Isiah Thomas nodded: "The triangle offense is actually a lot of off-ball moves around superstars, nothing special."

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, Chalmers dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and passed it to LeBron who was stuck in the left elbow area.

LeBron took the ball and turned to face the frame. At the same time, the Heat pretended to cover Wade in the left corner. Joel Anthony suddenly ran to LeBron.

The left elbow screen was formed, and LeBron took the opportunity to get rid of Barnes, faced Bynum's interception, and uncharacteristically stopped to make a mid-range shot.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and hits the net!

Cheers erupted at the American Airlines Center, and the audience felt LeBron's burning desire to win, shooting around the screen!

That can be said to be a favorable response to the Lakers' shrinking and blocking strategy. Will you dare to continue blocking next time?

At the same time on the court, Su Yang clapped his hands and applauded calmly. He was not worried about the team scoring at all.

It was still an elbow tactic. Gasol took the ball in the left elbow area. Seeing that Kobe's cut inside was delayed, he decisively turned to the right.

Bynum set up the wall simultaneously as a screen, and Barnes took the opportunity to get rid of LeBron and rush to the top of the arc to get the ball, but it was a pity that the Heat partially defended.

Barnes' offensive ability and shooting level with the ball cannot force LeBron, who is unable to break through the screen and intercept, and it is difficult to grab a shot.

But Kobe closely followed Bynum, who also relied on the same cover, and went around, raised his hand to receive the pass from Barnes, and got a chance to make a shot.

The Heat continued their partial zone defense, Joel Anthony helped Wade delay, but slipped inside to Bynum.

Kobe seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and directly hit the ground to pass the ball, while Bynum caught the ball and started to take advantage of the trend, and he slammed and dunked vigorously with both hands.

The basketball exploded into the net, and the score of the two teams became 19 to 8. The Lakers still led by 11 points, and the situation was stable.

LeBron was a little confused, how could he score 8 points in a row, the ball was possessed by the god of war, and the situation did not change at all.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Chalmers took the ball to the top of the arc, and LeBron took the basketball at the left elbow.

Still turned around to observe the frame, and after Chalmers passed the ball, he ran to the left corner and set up a wall to cover Wade.

Wade took the opportunity to speed up the coiling cut, but he failed to get rid of Kobe, had no chance to catch the ball, and made LeBron lose the chance to break through.

Seeing this, Chalmers went back to the left wing and took the basketball, then raised his hands high and passed it to the left waist, and LeBron caught the return pass with his back.

It's a pity that it is estimated that the back hitting skills are not yet proficient, LeBron still chooses to turn around and face the frame, and the three threats move one after another.

Barnes did not hesitate to follow Su Yang's arrangement, took the initiative to take a step back to defend against breakthroughs, and induced LeBron to take a two-point shot.

LeBron couldn't hold back his tentativeness, and he shot up from the ground. The basketball bounced back with a bang, and the American Airlines Arena exploded and sighed.

Continuous scoring momentum interrupted!

Uncomfortable!

Sighs have not stopped, Gasol grabbed the rebound long pass, Fisher and Barnes frontcourt [-]v[-] bullying Chalmers.

With a simple pass and cut, Barnes easily scored two points for a layup. The Lakers 21 to 8 Heat, expanding their lead.

The referee blew his whistle immediately, announcing that the Heat requested a timeout. The central big screen was first for LeBron in the backcourt, then for Chalmers in the frontcourt, then for Coach Spoelstra, who was struggling on the sidelines, and finally for the VIP auditorium. Pat Riley's face.

The momentum of the Heat team plummeted!

The difficulty of winning has increased dozens of times.

Thomas laughed and said, "Don't pretend to be the majestic godfather! The Lakers suppress the Heat in all directions, and they don't even need Kobe to fight against Bryant!"

Miller also laughed: "Su Yang can make his 80-point lineup play 90 points, and let the opponent's 80-point lineup play 70 points. I have always wanted to find a word to describe his ability. But there is still no definite option..."

　Durant is too fierce!
