Chapter 327 The Village's Last Hope
On the Suns bench, Watson put down his tactical board and assumed the aura of a big boss.

He must scold people, but he dare not scold Booker, the absolute core, or Josh, the team's potential rising star, let alone Cousins, the league's No. Ashamed, I can only point the finger at TJ-Warren who has just played.

"Why didn't you pass the ball just now?"

"Why didn't you return to defense just now?"

"Why didn't you respond just now?"

Three sentences in a row, pointing and cursing, TJ-Warren looked confused, Cousins ​​and Josh also frowned.

"You should run more, share the ball more, and pay more attention to the trajectory of the ball!"

"This game against the Lakers is very important and may affect our playoff berth!"

"You think about the history of the Suns and the Lakers, don't you want to beat them?"

Three more sentences, the Suns players are indifferent, they have no feelings for the Suns like Nash and Stoudemire, and they think Watson is talking about feelings, a bit long-winded.

"Cousins ​​first come down to rest, Chandler, you go up and play. Pay attention to the position, don't let the Lakers easily form a pick-and-roll; also pay attention to rebounds, don't let the Lakers easily grab the fast break; also pay attention to supplementary defense, don't let the Lakers easily form pick-and-rolls; The Lakers players easily drive to the paint."

After finishing the last three sentences, Chandler stretched his neck subconsciously, his inner expression was the same as that of all Suns players, thousands of grasses rushed past, and he didn't know why Watson would say that!
Four points behind, not to mention that it is so serious, is the coach blind?

From the beginning to the present, have the Lakers played a pick-and-roll?

……

In a blink of an eye, the timeout just ended, the game between the two teams continued, and the Suns played in the frontcourt.

Bledsoe catches the ball and rushes to the top of the arc. Chandler steps forward to pick and roll, and it fits perfectly. Rose struggles to circle.

Taking this opportunity, Bledsoe rushed inside, stopped at the free throw line, and shot a jumper.

'Clang', a shot hit the iron, Tatum blocked Josh and grabbed a rebound.

Seeing someone beside Rose, Tatum chose to pass the ball to Tianyang, and the Lakers made a fast break.

Running all the way, Tianyang stopped suddenly at the three-point line, got rid of Booker in the same way, and made another three-pointer.

"Dang", also hit the iron, but Ingram rushed in to grab an offensive rebound, stood strong on the spot, and scored 2 points.

20 to 14, the Lakers led by 6 points, with 4 minutes left in the first quarter.

The Suns attacked, Bledsoe dribbled the ball to the right wing, and passed the ball to do a pick-and-roll.

Josh got rid of Ingram with the ball, rushed to the short corner on the right, and shot a jumper.

'铛', the basketball hit the rim, and the fans were secretly disappointed. When the basketball bounced again, the fans were filled with smiles, but in the end the basketball failed to fall into the rim, and the fans were half dead.

Lopez caught the rebound and passed it to Rose, and the Lakers launched a counterattack.

Rose took the ball to the right wing, passed it to Tatum at the top of the arc, and went down to cover Tianyang.

Tianyang circled to 45 degrees to catch the ball, faced Bledsoe, adjusted his posture calmly, and shot a jumper.

Still hitting the iron, but Lopez got the offensive rebound and made the sky again.

After missing two goals in a row, Tianyang still didn't hesitate, and directly pulled out his hand.

"Shua", a hollow hit, the Lakers led by 9 points, and the game entered the second official timeout.

For the Suns, 9 points is a trivial matter, but they have continuous power outages, often after a wave of scoring, they have not scored for a long time. In the past few minutes, they have been beaten 11 to 0.

In addition, Coach Watson made two consecutive adjustments before, which seemed to have no effect.

The fans are looking forward to something changing this time.

Soon, the timeout came back, the Lakers replaced Carter to play shooting guard, Nick Young played small forward, and Kuzma played power forward.

The Suns attacked, Bledsoe took the ball to the top of the arc, stopped and waited for the movement.

He wants to pass it to Josh to continue playing. After all, in his opinion, Kuzma's defense is worse than Tatum.

But the Suns fans collectively chanted 'Booker', 'Booker', 'Booker'.

What the fans thought was that Josh couldn't open, Cousins ​​lost his temper, Bledsoe rushed in and his shooting rate was too low, only Booker didn't make many shots. He opened the game with a three-pointer against Kobe.

It can be said that Booker is 'the last hope of the whole village'.

Bledsoe frowned and thought, and thought it was feasible, and immediately passed the ball,
Booker took the ball from the right wing, faced Carter's defense, and did not make any three-threat moves, and directly forced his way.

This method is smarter, Carter is old, and speed is a weakness.

I saw Booker easily rushed to the free throw line, made an emergency stop and shot a jumper.

Hit!The period of solar blackouts is finally over.

The Lakers attacked, Rose dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and McGee stepped forward to pick and roll.

Seeing this situation, Watson was deeply relieved, and the Lakers finally hit the pick-and-roll.

But Chandler was very sad. Although Rose's speed had declined after the injury, he himself was getting older and couldn't run fast. Relatively speaking, Rose was very fast, slipping into the paint and scoring easily.

However, the fans seem to understand him very well, at least better than Cousins' defensive attitude.

The Suns attacked, Bledsoe took the ball to the top of the arc, passed it directly to Booker, and stepped forward to cover.

Booker took the ball and walked to the right, using his speed advantage to widen the gap with Rose, and made an emergency stop.

With a bang, it was another three-pointer!

The Lakers bench, all the generals shook their heads collectively, and the opponent's shots were accurate, there was really nothing they could do.

Amid the chants of 'defense', Rose dribbles the ball to 45 degrees.

Nick Young stepped forward to pick and roll, Rose rushed into the inside line, attracted the defensive Suns to shrink and double-team, and then distributed the ball to the left wing.

Carter received the ball but didn't grab the shot. Booker seized the opportunity to return to defense.

The opportunity was gone, and the percentage of strong shots was not high. Carter looked up at the situation on the field and chose to pass the ball to the top of the arc.

It's a pity that the speed was a bit slow, Josh came out from the middle, made a steal, and made a fast break under the sun.

Kuzma rushed to catch up, but Josh's shaking failed to work, so he could only be forced to pass the ball.

Booker got the ball on the right wing and faced Carter's defense. He didn't rush and rushed to pull.

besides!8 points in a row!Only 3 points left!
McGee retreated to the bottom line, grabbed a fast break, and made a long pass to Kuzma in the frontcourt.

It's a pity that the two of them lacked cooperation, lacked a tacit understanding, and failed to guide accurately.

The basketball hits the floor and bounces high, and Kuzma and Josh jump up and scramble at the same time.

The two collided, the basketball was scrambled, Booker missed the midline position, turned around and rushed to the frontcourt.

Carter followed closely to the right, almost close to the defense, and raised his right hand for interference at any time.

Unexpectedly, Booker made an emergency stop two steps outside the top of the arc and made a super long three-pointer!
Still hit, if God helps!Booker helped the Suns tie the score!

The fans at the scene were excited and shouted MVP in unison!The two commentators on the sidelines were also very excited.

"Booker stood up. When the team's offense was sluggish, he carried the team's offense!"

"He has scored 71 points, even if Tianyang did not complete this achievement! He has a bright future!"

On the Lakers bench, Tianyang, Kobe, and Tatum are talking about defense.

Walton walked to the side of the two and said with a smile: "The shooting guard on the other side broke out."

"Oh." Tianyang nodded casually, but then realized that Wharton was not just chatting, so he turned his head, "What? Do you need me to go up and sanction it?"

Wharton waved his hand, "I'm asking if you want to increase your points too. Now we have the capital to let you waste money. Even if you hit the iron like crazy, we can recover it."

After the words fell, the Lakers generals immediately reacted and made suggestions one after another.

Tatum: "Brother, go! That commentator mocked you for not scoring 71 points!"

Hart: "That's right, brother, we can't let you take it lightly!"

Lopez: "Come on, let them know how good you are!"

Faced with many 'encouragements', Tianyang waved his hands with a smile and said, "Save your strength, if you want to score points, you have to go back to the home court!"

Kobe smiled and said: "The timing is right today, don't wait! When I come back, what are we talking about? Come on! When the game is over, I will pass the ball to you!"
