Basketball K God

Chapter 512 Two Lineups, Two Styles of Play

"Whether it's bad or bad, look, this ball is a mistake..." Director Zhang looked disappointed, even more dissatisfied than Lakers coach D'Antoni.

The Grizzlies attack here.

Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai faced Kobe, crossed and then pulled the ball continuously from his crotch, held the ball to the left corner, and made a jumper—short!
Warcraft aggressively accepted the backcourt rebound and handed it to Kobe to advance.

Kobe slowly dribbled the ball, stood at the top of the arc, and then directed his teammates to set up.

Our sister-in-law came up to cover one, and Kobe held the ball to the center and was flanked by Ci Shiping in the corner!

Ci Shiping 3 points to go one - with it!
The two sides battled to a 5:5 tie.

"Yes, yes! Hey, Ci Shiping really dared to vote and really got in!" Director Zhang said excitedly.

Yu Jia said: "Kobe chose the timing of the pass very well, and Ci Shiping's shot was also very decisive!"

There was a timeout on the sidelines, called by the Grizzlies.

The atmosphere at the scene was very good and active. Although the score was overtaken by the opponent, the fans of the home team did not appear very disappointed.On the contrary, in their view, if the game loses suspense early, it would be a bit of a waste of such a much-watched focus battle.

Pause back, the game continues.Neither side made substitutions.

Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to the high-ranking sister-in-law.

The little sister-in-law gave the ball to the low black bear, and the black bear forcibly hit the big sister-in-law.

Our sister-in-law is tall, but in this position, if Warcraft doesn't come to help him defend, he really isn't that good at defending against black bears.

"High-low is what we call high and low positions! The Grizzlies often play high and low positions, and they have this staffing!" Director Zhang explained.

The black bear used his weight and footwork to show off his singles skills in the low post, which caused a foul by his sister-in-law.

The black bear walked to the free throw line, missed the first free throw, and made the second free throw!
The Grizzlies lead 6:5!

For the Lakers, Kobe continued to play with the ball, and the ball was once again in Ci Shiping's hands.It's just that the old prince paid attention this time, and didn't give the opponent an open 3-point chance.

Ci Shiping had no chance for 3 points, so he broke through with the ball.The speed at which he broke through can be described as a turtle's speed, like an old car, slowly, as if it was about to be driven to a scrap factory.

Conley came over to help defend and broke the ball!
The Grizzlies counterattacked, Xie sprinted forward, received a pass from Conley, made a layup, and the Grizzlies led 8:5!

The Lakers attacked here, and Kobe forcibly rushed inside and threw himself into the air, causing the old prince's assist defense foul!

Bryant walked to the free throw line, made two free throws, and the score was close to 1 point again.

The two teams have been biting the score tightly, and no one can easily widen the point difference.

After half a quarter of the game, Xie Kai was replaced by Tony Allen.

Yu Jia said: "It seems that Xie Kai is going to play with the second team again in this game!"

Director Zhang nodded and said: "In this way, the time for direct dialogue between him and Kobe will be much less."

After Tony Allen came up, the offensive rhythm of both sides became slower.

Kobe also worked hard, being served by two excellent defensive players in a row.Tony Allen, who was selected for the first defense last season, is a typical perimeter defensive expert, and he especially likes to defend the opponent's flank.

The score between the two sides is still not opened.The offense of the Lakers didn't come out at all, basically relying on Kobe's offense with the ball, everyone's sister-in-law and Ci Shiping's offense also had each one, and they couldn't score consecutively.The presence of Morris and Warcraft on the offensive end can simply be ignored.

With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, there was a timeout on the sidelines. After the timeout came back, Xie Kai and Speights came up to the game as the team's second lineup at the latest.

The score at this time was 19:17, and the Grizzlies led by 2 points!
The second team of the Grizzlies came on the field, and the fans of the home team cheered thunderously.

Yu Jia: "Director Zhang, the second team of the Grizzlies is very popular at home!"

Director Zhang said: "That's right, if they play well, their popularity will be high, hahaha..."

The Lakers' bench lineup is: Antawn Jamison, Metta World Peace, Jordan Hill, Jody Meeks and Chris Duhon.

The general dribbled the ball and organized an offense at the top of the arc.

Xie Kai came over to catch the ball, and it was Ci Shiping who defended him.

"The Lakers let Ci Shiping defend Xie Kai!" Yu Jia said.

Director Zhang said with a smile: "Then he is the only one to defend. Ci Shiping was the best defensive player back then!"

Yu Jia nodded in agreement. After all, if Meeks and Du Hong, who were poor in defense, were to defend Xie Kai, they would really only be blown up.

Xie Kai faced Ci Shiping, with the help of Arthur's cover, the opponent directly switched defenses.

Xie Kai faced Jamison.

Jamison was known as the best 3/4 swingman in the league back then, and his offensive skills were very comprehensive and solid, but now he is 36 years old and still hasn't won a championship ring.

At his peak, Jamison was regarded as a very strong offensive striker in the league, but he was not suitable as the leader of the team in terms of personal ability or personality.He should be the most suitable as a second master, or even a third master.

Some players are like this. It's not that they are not capable, but that they really don't have that leadership ability and temperament.Such a player makes him the boss, and he simply cannot support a team.

Facing Jamison, Xie Kai took the ball and broke through directly. After being blocked, he went in-out, then crossed with his right hand, pulled the ball to his left hand, and then took a step back, flashing out of space.

Jamison is also getting older and can't keep up.Even when he was young, he was not a defensive fighter, let alone now.

Xie Kai made a jump shot, and amidst the screams of the fans at the scene, he accurately entered the frame!

21:17, the Grizzlies lead by 4 points!
"Beautiful, Xie Kai's singles is really beautiful!" Yu Jia explained excitedly.

The Lakers are attacking here, and their second team played the running and bombing tactics required by D'Antoni.

Du Hong holds the ball in the high position, and the V-shaped position is placed, and Meeks and Ci Shiping on the two wings open up space.

Jamison is the poor man's version of Stoudemire, and Duhon is the super poor man's version of Nash. The two play high pick-and-rolls.

After the pick-and-roll, Jamison slid down, received a pass from Duhon, and beat Arthur successfully!

The point difference was narrowed to 2 points!
"This offensive space is really big, much bigger than before!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

Director Zhang said with a smile: "D'Antoni's offense is all about space and shooting. Small forwards and shooting guards have gone to the bottom corners. Can there be less space?"

Yu Jia nodded.He knows why the Lakers' starting lineup can't play running and bombing. You can't let Kobe go to the bottom corner, can you?Everyone's sister-in-law and Warcraft, who wants to be a pie-eating man who picks and rolls?Even if everyone's sister-in-law is willing, what are Warcraft doing on the field?
