Chapter 243 The Tactics of the Lakers (4K Chapter)

At the beginning of the second quarter, James took the lead in attacking and dunked directly, officially sounding the clarion call for the Lakers' counterattack.

However, Jiangbei would not let the Lakers counterattack so easily, and immediately responded with color.

"Facing Pope's defense, after Jiang Bei dribbled the ball continuously, he suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back to open up space, and shot a fallback jumper!"

"Beautiful! Very nice fade away!"

The two points that James had just recovered were instantly filled in by Jiangbei, making James' efforts in vain.

Fortunately, the Lakers shooters seem to have regained their touch in this quarter. Caruso and Schroder used tactical moves to get open shots and hit three-pointers one after another to help the Lakers complete the overtake.

Leading the Suns by two points with 43:41.

In the following time, the two sides began to enter a tug-of-war, leading alternately several times.In the last 2 minutes of the game in this quarter, only James was left to score for the Lakers. The others were touching and entered the frozen state again.

With Bridges hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, the Suns ended the first half 60-53.

Although the Suns took the lead in the first half of the game, Jiangbei didn't play much. He just made a few shots when the score was tight, to stabilize the morale of the army, and more often to hone the team's cooperation.

To be able to practice with the Lakers, Jiangbei is probably the only one who can do such a thing. When other teams meet the Lakers, they will probably go all out, not to mention practicing tactics, they can only wish to have two more talents.

But Jiangbei did this, and the effect was not bad, and he took the lead.

Compared with Jiangbei's ease, James was indeed exhausted. In the first half, he almost relied on himself to support the Lakers' offense.

Davis, on the other hand, seemed to be completely out of state, except for showing off his might and hating Ayton, he has been in a state of stealth.

Entering the halftime break, both teams returned to the locker room.

"How? Are you confident?" James turned to Davis next to him and asked.

"I've seen it almost. It's difficult to restrain Jiangbei, but it's still possible to block the Suns' inside line!" Davis nodded confidently.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Schroeder, what's going on with you?"

"Don't worry! Boss, everything is ready, just waiting to serve them a big meal!"

"Then all that's left is Jiangbei. In the end, it's up to the decisive battle between the two of us!" After hearing the answers from his teammates, James looked up at the ceiling and said with some expectation.

In the Suns locker room on the other side, the Suns players were all talking and laughing, very relaxed, after all, they had a lead of more than ten points.

It wasn't until the head coach Williams came in that everyone quieted down. Seeing the players happy, Williams was also very happy.

"We played well in the first half of the game. The tactical arrangements we made before the game were all played out. It can be seen that such tactics are effective. We will follow the established tactical arrangements in the future!" Williams said seriously.

"our target is?"

"Victory! Victory!"

"we are the champion!"

Under Jiang Bei's leadership, the Suns chanted slogans, walked out of the locker room one by one, went to the court, and prepared for the second half of the game.

Jiang Bei was at the end, just in time to meet the Lakers who also came out to the court.

"Hey, James, are you ready to lose?" Jiang Bei challenged James.

"It's not certain who wins and who loses. Let's wait and see?" James countered without showing any weakness, and then strode towards the court.

"Is there something wrong with them, or are they deliberately showing weakness?" Jiang Bei instinctively felt that something was wrong with James' confident look, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Forget it, don't worry about it, anyway, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil! Let's take a step and see! I don't believe what kind of waves they can make!"

When he returned to the sidelines, Jiang Bei deliberately looked towards the Lakers, wanting to see some clues, but he was disappointed. The Lakers performed as usual and couldn't see any changes in them, which made Jiang Bei even more puzzled.

Can't wait for Jiangbei to continue to think about it. With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game began.

The two sides still played in the starting lineup, and the Lakers' performance was still as undead as in the first half, relying entirely on James alone to drive the team's offense. Seeing this situation, no matter how suspicious Jiang Bei was, he gave up his thoughts.

Just when Jiangbei relaxed his vigilance against the Lakers, the Lakers suddenly exploded.

Led by Davis, facing Ayton's defense, he directly attacked the frame hard and scored a layup. This is the real counterattack horn of the Lakers.

Afterwards, everyone in the Lakers team fired one after another, returning to their proper level, and even slightly improved than usual. For a while, the Lakers team blossomed in full swing and caught the Suns by surprise.

Under the leadership of Davis, the Lakers directly played a wave of 12:4 attacks to narrow the gap in the score.

At this time, Jiang Bei sighed and said: "This is a tactic designed by that talent. I have played Sun Tzu's Art of War for me. First show the enemy weakness, then counterattack a little to test the opponent's reaction, and then continue to show weakness to reduce the opponent's vigilance. When the opponent relaxes his vigilance, he will catch him by surprise and catch him by surprise! It's really exciting!"

Seeing Jiangbei's arrangement by the Lakers, the corners of his lips curled up: "But in the face of absolute strength, these are just small tricks!"

Afterwards, Jiang Bei asked for the ball and found Pope.

"At this critical moment, Jiang Bei chose to play singles again. What kind of attack method will he choose to face Pope?"

"Jiangbei breaks through directly with the ball, and uses the change of rhythm to throw off the opponent, WHAT?"

"Jiangbei didn't take the opportunity to break through, pulled the ball back to Pope's body again, changed the rhythm again and completed the breakthrough again!"

"Jiangbei is playing tricks on his opponent. Fortunately, Jiangbei didn't come again this time, otherwise I'm afraid there will be violence!"

"Jiang Bei, who broke through Pope's defense, rushed directly to the basket and dunked with the lever!"

The next ball, Jiang Bei planned to pass to Ayton on the inside, but under the shrinking defense line of the Lakers, he couldn't pass it in at all, and almost caused a mistake. If Crowder hadn't reacted quickly, the Lakers would have played a wave of defensive counterattack.

Jiangbei had no choice but to come by himself, but at this time James switched defenses with Pope.

Jiangbei faced James and played big. This is also an alternative 23V24. As soon as this scene appeared, the fans immediately cheered. The wonderful duel was finally about to begin.

"You actually came to defend me, which surprised me!" Jiang Bei said in surprise.

"It's no surprise, I can defend anyone on the field!" James replied confidently.

"Really? You don't have to worry about the wind flashing your tongue if you talk big!"

"What? What do you mean?"

"You don't need to know, this is a saying from China, anyway, for you, you are doomed!"

After finishing speaking, Jiangbei didn't care about James' reaction, and directly stepped forward. Jiangbei's sudden movement made James subconsciously retreat and defend. Who knew that this was just a fake move by Jiangbei.

Seeing that James was caught off guard, Jiang Bei quickly retracted his right foot, took a step back and shot a three-point jumper, scoring another three-pointer.

Under Jiangbei's strong resistance, the Lakers' counterattack did not work, and they still maintained a stalemate with the Suns, and no one was able to gain a big lead.

Due to James' performance in the first half, his physical fitness gradually became problematic. As the Lakers took the initiative to replace the starting lineup, the Suns also replaced the starting lineup, with Booker leading the bench lineup.

On the Lakers side, Schroeder led the bench to continue the game.

At first, the game seemed to be going on according to the normal rhythm of the game, but after 1 minute, Jiang Bei felt that something was wrong!
Booker had his first technical foul, and Jiangbei, including Williams, didn't care about it at first, but the subsequent game situation was beyond everyone's expectations.
Booker received consecutive technical fouls and was eventually expelled from the field.

At this time, everyone also saw that this was another tactical arrangement of the Lakers, and this effect was soon reflected.

Without the Suns bench lineup led by Booker, the offensive ability plummeted, and the defense was even worse. They were almost taken away by the Lakers. Fortunately, Williams responded quickly and replaced Paul and Bridges in time.

With two players on the court, the situation on the court was stabilized. Although they failed to launch a counterattack, the score did not continue to expand, and even narrowed to a certain extent.

Afterwards, Williams gradually replaced the starting lineup except Jiangbei, and it was only at the last moment of the third quarter that the Suns launched another counterattack.

First, Claude used Bridges' pick-and-roll to run out of the open space, received a pass from Paul on the baseline, shot from the corner and hit a three-pointer.

Then Paul showed off his powerful ball-handling skills and sent a wonderful pass without looking at the crotch. After receiving the ball, Ayton easily dunked and finished!
Under the leadership of Paul, the Suns continued to chase points and narrowed the gap between the two teams. After three quarters, the Suns were at a slight disadvantage 86-83.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James took advantage of Jiangbei's time before playing and succeeded in consecutive attacks, taking the opportunity to widen the gap between the two teams.

Schroeder and Pope also hit two consecutive three-pointers, helping the Lakers expand the score to double digits.

At this time, Williams had to replace Jiang Bei again.

After Jiang Bei came on the field, he immediately turned on the offensive mode.

Jiangbei's first goal went directly to the inside, but as soon as he entered, Jiangbei felt something was wrong. Bridges and Paul were actually emptied, and everyone's defense was concentrated on Ayton and himself. I don't know if the Lakers did it on purpose, or there was a problem with the tactical running.

But Jiang Bei wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, Jiang Bei didn't even think about it, the back of his head was like long eyes, he just threw the ball behind his head!

Paul catches the ball and shoots!

hit!

Seeing this scene, James scolded angrily: "Fack! How did you move around? There is such a big loophole. Keep an eye on your own people!"

The boss showed his power, and the rest of the Lakers didn't dare to say anything, they could only retreat silently, and secretly vowed that they must do their own defense well in the future so that there will be no more problems!
But even if everyone in the Lakers is defending seriously, they still can't stop Jiangbei's explosion. Although Jiangbei doesn't have the strength of Kobe's peak period, once he explodes, because of the system as a guarantee, his desperate playing style is better than Kobe's, so he can achieve a performance far beyond his own strength.

With Jiangbei's efforts, the score was chased to 98:93 and the lead was regained.

At this time, James, who was eager for success, tried a few three-pointers, but missed, which made the Lakers' situation even worse.

Fortunately, at this time, Paul's physical fitness also had problems, so he had to rest, so Jiangbei had to take on more tasks, because the depth of the Suns' lineup was not very good, Jiangbei could only take on Paul's tasks by himself.

But the Lakers did not seize such an opportunity, but was assisted by Jiangbei and Bridges hit a three-pointer again, extending the score to two points again.

After several attempts, James finally found his touch on the outside and made three consecutive three-pointers, which finally helped the Lakers regain some disadvantages.

However, the Lakers' defense at critical moments was a bit lax, and there was no way to help them maintain the score they recovered.

In the end, the Lakers were still powerless and could only watch the Suns win again and continue their winning streak.

It can be said that the Lakers exhausted their efforts in this game, but still failed to win the game. This made many fans sigh: "Is this year's Suns already unstoppable? It's too boring to just book this year's championship directly!"

At this time, fans of good things are constantly tweeting about the major stars on social media, telling them to stand up and stop the Suns, they don't want to watch a game without suspense.

When Jiang Bei heard the news, he could only smile helplessly. He knew that the Suns' achievements now don't count, and the final battle will be in the playoffs. Every team at that time was different from what it is now.

But under the booing of many fans, Jiang Bei estimated that their next game would be difficult. After all, although the playoffs are more important, the emotions of the fans are also important. If these stars don't show some strength, it is estimated that next year's All-Star Game will be voted by no one.

So according to Jiang Bei's estimation, at least a team with all-star players will block the Suns with all their strength in the next game!
