Play with your brain

Chapter 342
"Kobe, come down and take a break. We need you to contribute at the critical moment." The old Zen Master said as soon as the Lakers players left the court.

"Why? My physical strength is very good now. I think I can play for another ten minutes!" Kobe didn't want to be replaced. He had just suffered a loss and had to find his way back.

"Don't you think I don't know what you're thinking? You must be thinking now, I'm going to call one back right away and humiliate that Chinese person, right?" The old Zen master is simply a roundworm in Kobe's stomach. He knows what to think.

"NO, that's not the case." Although Kobe was stubborn, his pursed lips betrayed him.

It’s not too much to say now, because a team still needs to focus on harmony, so Phil Jackson immediately changed his tone and comforted: “You have fallen into the trap now, think about it, that Why does the Chinese insist on pulling away to fight you? Doesn’t he just want you to come back immediately and fight alone? Don’t forget how smart the Chinese are, those guys are born to play with their brains. Kobe, keep fighting like this, this One game and we're screwed, you know?"

"How is it possible? That guy is not so good, he is just a bastard who loves to show off, he thinks that if he wins me once, he will be in the newspapers and on TV, that's all!" Kobe is still stubborn, and he will not admit to himself Stupid than others.

Phil Jackson is still very patient. To deal with a guy like Kobe, you have to be like a kindergarten aunt. The Zen Master continued: "Kobe, look at your teammates, they are already very tired. A lot of help in terms of mental strength, do you think we really have no problems at all now?"

The generals of the Lakers are indeed very tired, they are all panting heavily, after all, running back and forth on the court, this feeling is not good, don't forget, this is called 'suicide'!
"But we are still ahead, aren't we?... Well, I listen to you, but I will definitely win this game, I will definitely!" Kobe thought about it for a while, and still accepted Zen Master's suggestion. However, he His desire to win became even stronger, he must kill the Mavericks, and kill that Chinese!

73 to 83, there are more than 4 points in the third quarter before the end. Out of physical considerations, both the Mavericks and the Lakers made large-scale substitutions.

The Mavericks left Hu Lin and Terry, and replaced the remaining three positions. Dampier, Brandon Bass, and Jerry Stackhouse took over the three positions of center, power forward and small forward respectively. .Normally speaking, Hu Lin will rest at this time, because the outside players of the Mavericks are obviously out of date, and many of them need to play, so a proper rotation is necessary. Moreover, Lao Hu has not yet reached the status of a superstar. His playing time rarely exceeds 40 minutes.

The Lakers' substitutions were very fierce, with 5 ups and 5 downs. Even Kobe sat on the sidelines and watched the game. Mbenga and Turiaf formed the height of the inside line. Radmanovic, the original starter Small forward, now off the bench, Jordan Farmar and Trevor Ariza make up the Lakers' perimeter.

In fact, this is a very normal lineup, no big deal, Lao Hu also saw his former teammate Trevor Ariza, the only one who said something was Kobe, because generally speaking, Kobe should play at this moment.

Kobe is different from Lao Hu. He is a superstar. If a superstar is healthy, he should play about 40 minutes or more in each game. This is the treatment he should have, especially at the end of the third quarter. It should be even more so at such a time.Although the Lakers are leading now, they are very tense on the scene, and it is not as easy as the score shows.

But now Kobe can only sit on the sidelines, because Phil Jackson hopes that the Lakers can control their rhythm, he doesn't want the team to play so fast!

Players from both sides enter the field and the game starts again.

"The timeout is over, let's get back to the game. Kobe has already rested off the court, and Hu Lin is still on the court. How will the game develop after that? Oh, the Lakers' offense has begun. Steal the ball, it is a steal Ball!?" Yu Jia was making normal opening remarks, but he immediately raised his voice because of the sudden situation on the court.

Hu steals the ball!

This was indeed a steal, but after Lao Hu hit the ball, Ariza, who was facing up, also touched the ball with his long arms. Unfortunately, it was just a touch.

Drive straight in, no one blocked, Lao Hu easily made another dunk.

"GO! MAVE! GO!..." 75 to 83, the score has come within 10 points.

Although Lao Hu is now a point guard, he didn't defend Jordan Farmar, because Terry's height was placed there, and he would suffer too much if he defended Trevor Ariza.So, there was this steal, and the Mavericks continued their momentum before the timeout.

Phil Jackson is undoubtedly wise. This gray-haired old man knows his opponent and his team. He doesn't want to follow the opponent's rhythm, which is very correct.The current Lakers team is not good at running. In recent years, the Lakers have not been very good at running. They have always been a highly entertaining team, but running is not their strong point.

But the Lakers' current opponent, the Mavericks, is different. They were originally a fast-attacking team, and they have been playing like this in recent years. They are more adaptable to such a fast pace, at least more adaptable than the Lakers.

Therefore, controlling the rhythm is completely correct, but it is not so easy to actually implement it.

The Mavericks players are very active. They have come up with the method they used against the Knicks before, that is, go all out, that is, gambling and stealing the ball. Of course, this has a premise, which is to leave a few guys inside to defend the position.

There is a problem with this kind of gambling defense, that is, as long as the ball is not broken, it will give the opponent a lot of space. Whether it is to shoot by yourself or choose to split the ball, it will become very easy.Under this kind of high-intensity game, the players will unconsciously choose to take the shot, because the opportunity has already come out.

In this way, it is very difficult to play slowly. Could it be that the opponent is out of position and still not shooting?
This time it was Jordan Farmer who made the move himself. Just now Terry made a gamble, but it seemed that there was no good result.

Bang!Very well, Farmar just came up, his hands were still a little cold, and he struck the iron.

Brandon Bass grabs the rebound, and the Lakers hula a guy back.

It seems that the opponents are all just coming up, and their physical strength is quite good.

But it doesn't matter, since you have decided to run and bomb, whether you return to the defense quickly or not, Lao Hu will not be under great pressure.

A simple line of people, and then Lao Hu rushed to the half-stop position, and then the Lakers' supplementary defense came, so the corner must be empty.

It's a very simple basketball theory play called 'Why are there so many open corners? ', because as long as the position on the line is one gear, one burst, as long as there is a supplementary defense, the bottom corner will generally be given up. There is no way to have five players on the court.

Swish!Jerry Stackhouse hits a three-pointer!
"Oh oh oh!..." 78 to 83, the score is closer!

Yu Jia in the broadcast room couldn’t sit still. The Mavericks were chasing points too fast, so he said anxiously: “Good shot, after the three-pointer, there is only a 5-point gap. Should the Lakers consider it?” Just make a substitution and let Kobe come back to the court again..."

Teacher Xu on the side can only do it temporarily, hehe.

Immediately the Lakers started another 'fast break'. They didn't want to, but the opportunity was so good.

Swish!Radmanovic hit a two-pointer.

It is normal for others to score goals, after all, the chances of shooting are very good.

Lao Hu immediately played another fast attack. He handed the ball to Terry, and then the two made a small screen. After Terry made a big circle, he gave the ball back to Lao Hu.

The offensive speed of both sides during this period is very fast. Although the Lakers want to control, they will follow the Mavericks unconsciously. The old Zen master on the sidelines keeps reminding the players, but the effect is not very great.

The time passed by second by second, and soon reached the last 40 seconds of the third quarter.

86 to 88, the difference between the two sides is only 2 points. The Lakers have called a timeout before, and Zen Master still wants to slow down the rhythm.

Bang!Once again, the blacksmiths of the Lakers performed quite conscientiously, and their shots were still hasty.

Fast attack!

Although they only played less than 4 minutes, the Lakers players' footsteps are a bit heavy, and their defense is no longer as active as when they first came up.

However, Lao Hu still didn't get a chance to hit the ground running, and there were still Farmar and Ariza blocking the way in front of him.

Terry also came up, and it is completely possible to cooperate.Lao Hu passed the ball immediately without any delay.

Then, Lao Hu immediately ran, he did not rush into the basket, but ran directly to the bottom corner on the other side of Terry, he hoped that this would help Terry open the space.

Whoosh, whoosh...

I was really tired. Except for the timeout in the entire third quarter, Lao Hu didn't rest. Now he feels that his lungs are about to explode, but this guy is still running hard.

Terry broke through, his speed is not bad, he can run very well, this third quarter only played 9 minutes, well, this time is not short.

Make up defense!

It has to be defended, not to let Farmar's side definitely watch the opponent score, so, 'Why are there so many open corners? 'It was verified again.

Lao Hu caught the ball, but he seems to be quite tired. It's hard to say whether he can make the ball, but this guy still made a shot!

shoot?

No, it's too crooked, the basketball can be half a meter away from the basket, even if the physical strength declines, it can't be so much difference, right?

At this moment, a strong black man flew high, caught the ball in the air and dunked it!
Kuang Ang! 88 levels!
