Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 56 In Trouble
This time it was the Lakers attacking, and Kwame ran inside, ready to cooperate with Kidd for the lob.When he was about to run backwards, he was suddenly caught by the opponent's twin towers one behind the other!What is this?Double-teaming without catching the ball?Kwame was puzzled. Powell ran to the free throw line to receive the ball. Aren't they going to defend?
What Powell was valued by the Lakers was his stable shooting. He lived up to Kidd's first pass and hit the mid-range shot steadily.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Kwame guessed that James was probably scolded by their irascible coach, and his anxious face was full of murderous looks.I just watched the opponent rushing over viciously, and made a domineering 5-step layup that even passed Kidd and dunked himself.

Kwame no longer has a view on this matter, and is a little numb.At the beginning of the second quarter, James slammed a few five-step baskets against the Lakers' bench on the court...

The Lakers attacked, and Kwame found that the opponent was stuck again and emptied Powell again.He understood that the opponent just wanted to contain himself. Outside shots are always not as lethal as inside attacks!
Powell hit another jumper from the free throw line.In the next attack, James still scored "easy" with crab steps.The referee just watched there, as if this was allowed by the rules.Kwame estimated that if someone touched him, he might also be called for a defensive foul.If you don't give up the inside line, maybe it will be three seconds.

When you can't even make a free throw, let alone a jumper.This time Powell failed to make a shot.Kwame's waist was hugged by Gooden, and his shoulders were pressed by the big Z, so he couldn't move at all.Can only watch James get a defensive rebound.Radmanovich?He never got 6 rebounds in a season.

The opponent's tactics not only restricted Kwame's offense alone, but also cut off the entire inside hub of the Lakers.Kwame couldn't catch the ball at all, and couldn't play the role of a transfer station.The inside line is occupied by three big men.Others can only float outside and cast.The Lakers' three-pointers are just like that, and when they fail, they don't work. Today is when Duan Yu is not angry.

The outside line kept hitting the iron, and the inside line couldn't grab rebounds. The Cavaliers counterattacked smoothly, and the Lakers suddenly fell into a passive state.Even if Oddo is replaced, there is no way. James' foul defense that will not be whistled will also force him out of the paint. The Lakers can only rely on occasional long-range shots to score.The score was overtaken in the 7th minute, 41 to 43, and the Lakers were two points behind!

Kwame even thought of catching and shooting from the outside, but the opponent still used a double team, this time replaced it with an outside to double team!The two opponents are still guarding the inside line.Kwame passed the ball to the man on the outside and still missed the shot. No matter the tactics, he just couldn't make the shot!

Kidd and Kwame have passed the ball to the best position. The Lakers' three-pointers are too few and too bad!Finley is simply not good at threes.

Although Kidd has developed a certain three-point ability, it is only effective when shooting cold arrows, and it has not yet reached the point where it can be used as a conventional weapon.

Vujacic is their only hope... As for the left-handed magician who made [-]% of his three-point shots, he might as well let Kwame try his luck outside the three-point line.

Rudy has a headache now!In fact, the Lakers' starting lineup is already one of the best in the league, but after sending away a large group of young players, the bench is pitifully weak.If the Lakers' rotation lineup can continue to maintain pressure on the opponent and does not give the opponent a chance to breathe, it will not give the opponent a way to deal with it, and the team will not be so passive.Speaking of which, if Kobe is there, let the 4 cores of the Lakers rotate, then there will be 2 All-Star players on the court at any time, even if the other teammates are weaker, they can still bring continuous pressure to the opponent!

It's a pity that Kobe was injured. If we say this, there are still three cores, which is barely enough for rotation.But with Kobe's injury, no one can suppress Odom, and Odom can sleepwalk wantonly.Therefore, when Kobe is injured, half of the team's strongest strength will be paralyzed.

Rudy realized that he missed Kobe so much. If Kobe hadn't been injured and partnered with Kidd on the perimeter, the Lakers' perimeter would instantly be upgraded to the championship level, which would be enough to deal with any situation.But now it can only make do with it.

In the final analysis, the accuracy of the outside line is too poor, so that the opponent can continue to double-team the inside line!No matter how many vacancies there are, it's useless if you can't make a shot.

The ugly game was still going on, but fortunately, the touch on the outside line recovered a bit, so that the score was not pulled away in an instant.But at the end of the half, the Lakers were still 45 points behind 53 to 9.

"Damn, damn, damn! Those savages are so shameless! They double-teamed a parallel importer like me!" Seeing the rare silence of his teammates, Kwame wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but it seemed that they didn't Response!

"It's really distressing, Kwame! The opponent's intention is obvious, that is, to prevent us from hitting the inside. Let us float outside to shoot, betting on our hand. It seems that they are betting right!" Kidd had no choice, tactics The execution was amazing, and the ball was sent to the most appropriate position accurately.No one can help if they can't score a goal.

"Jason, even you can't help it? It's terrible! Are we going to lose again? No! How come this! We won a game with great difficulty and are going to lose again!" Kwame is not reconciled!He really wanted to escape from here.But unfortunately, the game still has to continue, and the second half will start soon.

Like the first half, the Cavaliers' offense was in the hands of McGinn and James.This time it was for James.A standard four-step-and-jump attack successfully attracted the attention of the Lakers' top three, and Big Z was completely empty.Receive a wonderful pass from James and hit it! 44 to 55, the Cavaliers have widened the point difference to 11 points.

Offensively, Kwame once again enjoys Kobe's brutal treatment, and there are no two people giving you intense sandwich-shaped massages all the time.Finley tried to break through to the inside, but found that all five of the Cavaliers had shrunk to the inside, and eight two-meter men had filled the inside, leaving no room for movement.

Based on the idea that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate, Finley made a forced shot!
Miss!Kwame struggled for a while, trying to break free from the double-team and grab the rebound, but found that it was futile. The opponent's twin towers were simply relying on themselves. They seemed to regard this as the only task tonight!
"Is it Ilgauskas? Seriously, why are you pestering me like this? After all, you are also an All-Star player! It's too embarrassing to do this!" Kwame couldn't take it anymore!But there was no other way but to complain weakly.

The opponent scored the ball again and again, but the Lakers kept hitting the iron and were counterattacked.Finally, Kwame couldn't bear it anymore and asked for the ball directly from beyond the three-point line.

Nima!Kwame thinks about it, isn't it just blacksmithing!Whoever strikes the iron is not a striker!

He thought that his dribbling was not particularly bad, anyway, they couldn't score, so he might as well play by himself.Offensive with the ball from outside!This has always been Kwame's dream, and he couldn't score anyway.Might as well come by yourself.

Kidd was surprised for a moment, and immediately understood what Kwame was thinking.Let him fight!So the ball was sent over. (It seems that the United States does not have this proverb.)
Seeing Kwame catch the ball outside the three-point line, not only was the opponent stunned, but even his teammates didn't react.This guy has developed all three points?

But unfortunately, they were disappointed, Kwame does not have that function yet.When everyone on the field was surprised, Kwame broke through with the ball and rushed to the free throw line in a few steps.

It's been a long time since he took a shot. Since the second quarter, this is the first time Kwame has touched the ball on the offensive end.There is definitely no touch to the shot.And he took a big step towards the free throw line, and he was about to slam dunk!

The opposing player finally reacted and hurried over to defend.But can Kwame, who has successfully started the engine, be stopped by humans?Kwame directly knocked Gooden flying.A lever avoids James' big hand and smashes the ball into the basket hard!
"boom"!There was a whine from the basket.The fans at the scene began to cheer again. From the lead of more than 10 points when the main players left the field in the first quarter, they are now behind by more than 10 points. They are so aggrieved.

The scene on the court was also one-sided, and the fans had been silent for almost an hour.Finally, Kwame's dunk ignited their passion again.

Is this the clarion call to fight back?Everyone is looking forward to it.
