Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 48 The Role of Kidd

The big change that Kidd brought to the Lakers is that everyone participates in the offense and everyone runs under his command.

Vujacic kept running back, Kwame blocked Jim Jackson who was chasing him, and Kidd immediately sent the ball to his hands.Yao Ming had no choice but to go out to defend.

At this time, Vujacic returned a pass to Kidd, Kidd threw the ball to the basket, and Kwame dunked the ball directly with the strength to tear down the basket. 22 to 11. The Lakers still lead by 11 points.

The 28-year-old Tyronn Lue is in his prime, and his quick breakthrough and lethality are still good. He changed direction to get rid of Parker, passed Kwame who was defending, and slipped to the bottom line to make a layup.

Parker decided to return one, and told Kidd that he wanted to play one solo. Kidd, who was good-tempered, of course agreed. This was just a regular time in a regular season.It is right to have a good relationship with your teammates. Although his prestige is very high, Kobe may have to listen to him when he comes back.But after all, this is Kobe and Kwame's team.

And this is also one of Kidd's prepared tactics. Mr. Shi studied the opponent's video, Tyronn.Lu has top speed, excellent single defense ability, excellent fast break and three-point ability.But the disadvantage is also obvious, it is too easy to get angry. Kidd noticed this when he played the finals with the Lakers, but at that time it was the psychological master KFC old man who used Tyronn. He cleverly used Tyronn’s momentum when he was angry. Use his speed and defense to cause great trouble for the opponent.But Van Gundy Jr. is clearly not that level of coach.

Parker received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt.Face Tyron.For Lu's defense, Parker kept cross-stepping and dribbling the ball waiting for the opportunity, shaking his shoulders left and right. Sure enough, the defense was always passive, and Tai Lun, who was waiting for the whole team, was shaken a step away!The center of gravity is deflected to one side!Parker seized the loophole, rushed into the inside line against Tyron, and passed him!

Parker rushed into the three-second zone, Kwame blocked Yao Ming who was about to help defend, and Parker easily hit a layup with no defense in front of him!
After high-fiving Kwame to express his gratitude for blocking the person just now, Parker looked at Talon with contempt.Lu, this is what street players must do after scoring a goal, to provoke the opponent.Just as Kidd imagined, the opponent really took the hook.

The Rockets attacked, and Tyronn ignored McGrady's request for the ball just like he ignored Kobe back then, and forcibly broke through the inside!Parker followed closely, but was passed!

but!Tyron found himself breaking too deep!Can hardly see the basket!He stopped and wanted to pass the ball, but Parker kept interfering, so he had to force a layup and throw it!
Kwame had been waiting there for a long time, and the moment Tyron made a shot, he rushed over and grabbed the ball in his hands!

Fight back!Fast forward Kidd!Vujacic went down quickly and ran to the opponent's basket. The opponent's defense quickly surrounded them. Vujacic immediately ran to the bottom corner and threw off the defense of several people. Kidd sent the ball to the opponent in an instant. into his hands.

but!McGrady rushed over, and Vujacic was taken aback. At this moment, he lost the best time to make a shot, and immediately the people under the basket came to help defend.Had to pass back to Kidd.

That's when Kidd waited, passing the ball to Kwame, who had just entered the three-point line, and the latter strode to the free throw line and scored with a gliding tomahawk dunk.

In fact, it was only a few seconds. At this time, Yao Ming had just run back to his own half, and he turned around and ran back before reaching the three-point line. What a poor kid.

However, Tai Lun probably felt that Yao Ming was not tired enough, so he immediately launched a fast break, and quickly rushed to the front court, surpassing Yao Ming who had just passed halftime. There was no one in front of him, and it was completely empty!He's going to pay back Kwame's block with a tomahawk!

The moment he jumped high and smashed the ball to the basket, a shadow enveloped him!Tai Lun felt a huge force coming from the ball, and he was pushed down irresistibly!
Before flying out of the bottom line and hitting the buffer post, Tai Lun saw a purple gold No. 27 jersey falling from the sky. The strength of that huge body was all pressed on the ball, and he was inevitably blown away.

The fans at the scene finally had a reaction. Except for the red booing, almost everyone stood up and watched the replay on the big screen, watching Kwame chasing Tyronn over and over again.Lu, at the scene of handing out the big hat, everyone exclaimed.His reflexes and speed are just astonishing!

After Kwame dunked, he noticed Tyronn’s quick break for the ball. When Tyronn started to run, he immediately reacted, ignoring the high-five action of his teammates, and quickly chased after him. Together they passed Yao Ming, took off almost at the same time, and then Someone flew... The two consecutive big hats completely boosted the fighting spirit of the Lakers.

The towels were flying on the bench, and the howls continued~

On the contrary, the morale of the Rockets was greatly reduced. McGrady, who hadn't touched the ball much until now, missed a shot, and Kidd grabbed a rebound.Decided to continue playing Kwame at this point.

Kwame relied on Yao Ming to receive the ball in a low position, but found that he couldn't hit it because the opponent's lower body strength was too strong.Decided to fight face to face.

Kwame felt amazing seeing the outside line constantly running. Is this still the Lakers?It seems that Kidd's arrival is really immediate!

Kwame played singles with confidence, leaning on Yao Ming with his left shoulder, adjusted his posture, raised his right hand high, grabbed the ball in his hand, flicked his wrist, threw the ball directly to the basket, and hit the board!
The others didn't dare to double-team and could only watch Kwame's frontal hook.The previous cooperation of the Lakers made them dare not let go of anyone.

Little Van Gundyby is going crazy!Everyone only knows how to play singles, there is no cooperation for safety!He yelled inside from the sidelines!inside!
In the transition between offense and defense, Yao Ming asked for the ball inside. Tyronn, who knew the coach was about to get angry, passed the ball, but Yao Ming turned around and made a jumper.Yao Ming was very helpless. He kept turning back and forth throughout the quarter, and he had no energy left.

The 24 to 11 point difference has a tendency to continue to widen.Not only did Yao Ming run back and forth all the time, he also kept fighting Kwame on the inside, desperately trying to get a position, but the key was not to get the ball.I'm too tired to run now.Little Van Gundy reluctantly replaced him.Replaced with the African mountain, the four-time best defensive player, Dibaken Mutombo.

Looking at the time, there are more than 4 minutes left in this section, and it is time for the rotation. Van Gundy Jr. replaced Tyronn Lue with Ward.The 35-year-old veteran is about to retire, because the Rockets' point guard is too bad, Sura is the boss of the team besides Tracy McGrady, and he doesn't like Yao Ming.But his strength is really average.

Tyronn Lue has won two consecutive championships with players like O'Neal, so he naturally looks down on Yao Ming.And he is a player who likes his own singles. He obviously has excellent three-point ability but doesn't like shooting. He advocates breakthroughs, but he still can't score inside.

As a result, Ward was about to announce his retirement, and the Rockets still signed him with a one-year middle class, hoping to control the overall situation at critical moments.This season, he can still get 25 minutes of playing time per game, and get 6 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

Then, Van Gundy Jr. moved McGrady to small forward and replaced Jim Jackson with Jermaine Taylor to play shooting guard. Taylor has an excellent ability to catch and shoot.

It is said that the insiders of the Rockets look beautiful, but except for Yao Ming, they are all old, weak, sick, or parallel importers.The one who replaces Juwan Howard is the second-best player in the legend, Stromile Swift, who has contributed 10 points and 4 rebounds so far this season. It took 10 shots, which made people quite speechless.10 points on 10 shots from inside.Less than 4 and a half hits.But Rocket himself II.It is hard to spend a lot of money to trade this "potential stock" from the Grizzlies.

Van Gundy Jr. didn't want him to play, but there's nothing they can do about it.

On the Lakers side, Rudy waved his hand and replaced Kwame with Otto, intending to beat Uncle with speed.Humphries replaced Radmanovic against muscular Swift.

Ariza finally got a chance to play, replaced Vujacic to play small forward to mark Tracy McGrady and relieve Kidd.Now the Lakers lineup is Parker, Kidd, Ariza, Shrew, Dodo.

The Rockets lineup is Ward, Taylor, McGrady, Swift, Mutombo.
