Chapter 252 BT Attack
The Lakers acquired Cousins ​​from the Kings robbery trade, which is exactly the same as the easy signing of O'Neal back then. Both of them are the number one centers on their respective timelines.Tianyang is also the same as Kobe back then. They were traded with other teams during the draft, but Kobe negotiated with the Hornets at the beginning, and Tianyang was accidentally intercepted by the 76ers.

The past emerged before Kupchak's eyes. In 04, O'Neal also wanted a long-term contract with a maximum salary.If Cousins' matter is not handled properly, it will become O'Neal VS Kobe Bryant 2.0.

Kupchak was a little devastated, and even had an absurd idea, hoping that Cousins' performance would not continue to be so good, otherwise it would be unreasonable not to give a maximum salary.

……

On the court, the two teams came to the fourth quarter. Relying on their tenacious and smart defense in the third quarter, the Lakers went from being behind to leading, leading the Spurs by 88 points with 84 points.

Although there is only a 4-point advantage, the fans at the Staples Center have already begun to celebrate. The Spurs really have no power to fight back, and it is only a matter of time before they win.

The Lakers attacked first, and Tianyang dribbled the ball to the right wing. The Spurs did not adopt an oppressive defense. He easily passed the ball to Randall at the top of the arc, and then changed his usual thinking of looking for Nick Young down the line, and stayed where he was waiting.

Danny Green and Millston were stunned for a moment. They were ready to switch defenses, but now they don't need it.

At the same time, Ingram started from the left wing and Randle dribbled to the top of the key.

The two passed the ball hand in hand, Randall took advantage of the pick and roll, and Adelaide hurriedly switched defenses.But Na once thought that Randall's pick-and-roll was fake, he feinted a shot to cut the inside, received a pass from Ingram, and scored an easy layup.

In the TNT commentary, O'Neal raised his hands and was about to say something, but Kenny rushed to say: "I announce that the Lakers won this series 4-0!".

O'Neal pretended to be angry: "You actually robbed me of my lines?".

Barkley said with a smile: "I originally thought that the young lads of the Lakers would encounter some inexperienced troubles when they entered the playoffs, but they played better and better. They were tough, decisive, and full of spirituality. Take the offense just now as an example. Randall's fake block was real, and even my overall perspective was deceived!"

On the court, the Spurs attacked, and Leonard and Aldridge played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.

Ingram delayed ahead of time, Leonard failed to break through, and passed the ball to Mills in the left corner.

Tianyang raised his hands sideways and did not let go of the shot, but Mills didn't dare to pass the ball inside again.

Gasol received the ball from the low position on the left side, backed Cousins ​​up, three times in a row, found that the top was not moving, roared and pretended to shoot, but actually passed the ball to Danny Green, who was squatting at 45 degrees on the right side.

The basketball made a big circle, with only 3 seconds left on the attack clock, Green dribbled the ball to adjust his posture, and pulled out his hand dryly.

Nick Young jumped up to block the shot, and his shot was like iron.

Cousins ​​got the rebound and threw it to Tianyang, and the Lakers made a fast break.

But the Spurs returned to defense very fast, except that Gasol was already in place, Tianyang wanted to drop the position, but when he turned around, he should still beat the Spurs and have a weak foothold.

He beckons for a pick-and-roll, and Ingram at the top of the arc immediately leans over.It's a pity that Leonard seems to have predicted it a long time ago, and before he dribbles to the left to break through, he has already circled out ahead of time and caught up with him again.

The situation was almost exactly the same as the Spurs' offense. The pick-and-roll failed. The difference was that Ingram failed to block the first time, and immediately ran over to block again.

In one word, spirituality!
Even though Leonard won the best defensive player for two consecutive years, it is difficult to defend two pick-and-rolls in a row.

Tianyang immediately dribbled the ball to the right in the opposite direction, got rid of the defense, and used a one-shot shot to grab time to make a shot.

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Lakers scored another 3 points, extending the lead to 9 points.

The Spurs attacked again, Leonard dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, Gasol stepped forward to pick and roll, Cousins ​​quickly switched defenses.

To be honest, Cousins' level of defense against pick-and-rolls is relatively average, and Leonard seems to recognize this. He dribbled the ball behind his back very riskily, trying to get the ball through the gap between Ingram and Cousins.

It's really spiritual, but it's a pity that it didn't succeed, and the dribbling level was a little underwhelming, which allowed Ingram to succeed.

Fortunately, Gasol went to the inside to make an empty cut, and Leonard passed the ball quickly.

The basket was empty, and another elementary school student could score a three-step layup, but Gasol was frightened by Randall, who moved laterally to defend, and took great pains to play a turnaround layup.

As a result, the basketball rolled twice on the rim and fell into Randall's hands.

Tianyang and Ingram turned around immediately, and two lightning bolts appeared on the court again.

Randall swung his arms and made a long pass. Tianyang received the ball from the center line and strode to the top of the arc.

Mills failed to grab the ball, Leonard stepped forward to intercept, and Ingram made a screen.

Tianyang broke through to the right 45 degrees, even though the basket was empty, but still chose 3 points.

Hit!The Lakers reached 12 points first, and Popovich called a timeout.

In the TNT commentary, O'Neal blew his whistle excitedly, "Tianyang and Ingram's two-line fast break has become a symbol of the Lakers. Let's come up with a name. Whenever this scene occurs in the future, we will shout together. How about it?"

Kenny rolled his eyes, "Sure, what should I call it?"

Barkley chuckled, "I've already thought about it. Let's call it BT Offense. Take the first letter B of Brandon Ingram (Brandon-Ingram) and the first letter T of Tian Yang (天洋). What do you think? "

O'Neal heard the words, tilted his head and savored it carefully, and said after a while: "It's a bit simple, there's nothing new, but that's it, it's quite easy to call."

O'Neill thinks it is a bit reluctant, but this name is very popular among Chinese-speaking fans. After all, "perverted attack" or "perverted attack" can be hung up no matter how you look at it!
……

On the court, the timeout ends and the Spurs attack.

Leonard dribbled the ball back and forth at the top of the arc, struggled to use consecutive pick-and-rolls, and got a chance to single out Nick Young.

Shaking continuously and breaking sideways, Leonard relied on his physical advantage to push Nick Young to the short corner on the left, and finally stopped suddenly and retreated, pulling out his hand dryly.

2 points hit, the Spurs scoring drought in the fourth quarter finally broke.

Turning around, Tianyang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, Cousins ​​stepped forward to pick and roll, and Gasol switched defenses.

To be honest, Gasol was slower than Cousins. Tianyang dribbled the ball directly behind his back and got through the gap between Mills and Gasol. His movements were much more skillful than Leonard.

Adelaide quickly moved sideways to defend, and Mills also hurried to catch up, but Tianyang looked back at the moon and passed the ball to Cousins, who had blocked the outside play, and the latter made a decisive three-pointer.

Hit, the Lakers lead to a new high, reaching 13 points.

Cousins' shot completely destroyed the Spurs' will to resist. It was too easy to hit, and it was not blind, because it had happened once before, and the Spurs knew that even if they kept the outside line, Cousins ​​could cut inside.

The Lakers lineup is excellent both offensively and defensively. Cousins' defensive problem has been temporarily solved for the few flaws.

Although Popovich made two more adjustments, he still couldn't even out the difference.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 118-107, leading the series 3-0 and getting the match point.

Six players in the team scored in double figures, Tianyang scored 6 points and 24 assists, and Cousins ​​also broke new highs in personal data, scoring 12 points, 22 rebounds, and 11 blocked shots.

The entire Lakers were immersed in a happy atmosphere until WOJ Twitter broke the news: "Cousins' agent claims that if the Lakers do not give the maximum salary, they will make more favorable choices."

　I clearly changed the chapter '100 double-teams' to 1000 times yesterday, but it turned out to be 100 times when I looked back today. . .
