Chapter 340 Eighteen martial arts

After returning from the timeout, in order to cope with the Blazers' large number of quick off-ball moves, the Lakers temporarily resorted to a 212 zone defense that had not been used for a long time, but the entire defense worked very well, and there was no sign of rustiness, as if it had been set for a long time. Well-programmed intelligent machinery, every double-team rotation is just right.

The Blazers attacked again, and Lillard dribbled the ball forward like a wind, falling behind by 16 points, which made him quite irritable.

Rushing to the right wing, facing Rose's defense, he withdrew his hand without any hesitation.

"Shua", the three-pointer was hit, and the fans on the scene applauded, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally vented.

To deal with zone defense, outside shooting is a routine method, as long as the shots are accurate.

The Lakers attacked, Rose dribbled the ball to the right wing and handed it directly to Tianyang.

Adhering to the goal of maintaining and expanding the point difference to gain playing time for Hart, Tianyang pulled the ball back, retreated from the three-point line, faced McCollum's defense, and quickly threw a three-pointer.

'铛', the basketball hits the ring, and the shot hits the iron.

Nurkic got the rebound, Lillard and McCollum turned around immediately, Tianyang and Rose chased after him.

I saw the basketball fly out from the bottom line, quickly cross the center line and reach the frontcourt. Rose and Lillard grabbed together in an instant.

Neither of the two had an advantage. The basketball was forced to fly again, and Tianyang and McCollum fought together again.

McCollum got the ball from outside the three-point line, but his whole body was already on the verge of collapse. Tianyang decisively reached out to press down.

I thought, McCollum twisted his body, fell to the floor, shot a three-pointer, and miraculously hit it.

At the same time, the referee blew his whistle and called Tianyang for a personal foul.

In the expectant eyes of the fans on the scene, McCollum stood at the free throw line and made a steady hit and added a penalty.

With 2 consecutive three-pointers and a free throw, the Blazers scored the 12th point, only 9 points behind the Lakers.

After a wave of catching up, the fans on the scene shouted loudly, with smiles on their faces, and they were very happy.

The Lakers attacked again, Rose dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and handed it to Tianyang again.

Considering that the Blazers are gaining momentum and it is necessary to contain it, Tianyang decided to use a layup to get 2 points safely.

After making up his mind, Tianyang began to dribble the ball under his crotch. After changing twice in a row, he took a step and rushed to the right.

When McCollum moved laterally, he stopped suddenly to pull the ball, then changed direction in front of his body, and entered the inside line from the left.

Nurkic moved sideways to defend, Tianyang kept his feet, and started a three-step layup, pulling the bar in the air to dodge and score.

The ball was scored, but the Blazers players were not in a panic, after all, this kind of scoring is too difficult.

The Blazers attacked again, and Lillard dribbled the ball to the right wing as if driving a supercar. Facing Rose's defense, he tasted the sweetness, and decided to no longer care about breakthrough points or layups, and decisively made another shot. Draw three points.

Simple and rough, hit again, the point difference between the two teams further narrowed to 8 points.

The Lakers attacked, Tianyang played the previous move again, and also scored 2 points.

McCollum failed to defend twice, and he couldn't hold back his face. He directly reached out for the ball in the backcourt.

Lillard handed over the ball, he took it to the left wing, faced Tianyang's defense, made a fake and real shot, and also made a three-pointer.

Tianyang was stunned, and before he had time to block the shot, the basketball flew towards the ring and went into the net hollowly.

As a result, the Blazers hit 4 consecutive three-pointers with two shots in the backcourt.

In such a situation, even though the Lakers are scoring, the point difference has been decreasing, from 16 points to 7 points.

In the ESPN live broadcast room, Mark Jackson said with a face of 'regret':

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. Lillard and McCollum can crack the Lakers' zone defense without playing like Kobe. The best way for them to learn from Curry and Thompson is after all. In front of the three-pointer, any defense is a paper tiger, and I am optimistic that they will go ahead and win the game with the touch of fire."

Brin smiled slightly: "Jeff, based on your experience as a head coach, how should the Lakers defend?"

It's a trick!Brin asks such a question, if he can't answer it, isn't it a parallel import?

Xiao Fan was clear in his heart, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It's very simple, very easy to defend. Lillard and McCollum just shoot like Curry and Thompson, but the Blazers don't have the Warriors' involvement system, and the Lakers can double-team." , You can also defend alone. If I were Walton, I would arrange for the team to double-team. Anyway, the Lakers’ rotation defense is extremely strong, why not use it? Just simulate the defense of the Warriors in advance.”

The words fell, just as Tianyang broke through and scored the ball, assisted Kuzma to score a mid-range shot, and the Lakers led 27 to 18.

Nurkic served from the baseline, Lillard received it, and rushed forward like a supersonic plane.

As soon as he reached the center line, Rose stepped forward to defend, and Lillard turned around and crossed the half court from the other side.

But just two steps away, Ross chased after him again, as if installing GPS positioning, chasing wherever he went.

Lillard was so annoyed that he pulled the ball again to transfer, but did not speed up his feet.

Ross didn't block the front immediately, but kept sticking to his side, just not giving him a chance to make a phone call.

After consecutive failures, Lillard was a little angry. Coupled with the two goals in a row, he was full of confidence. He directly moved the ball laterally to throw away Rose's position, and made a two-step shot outside the three-point line.

Perhaps it was because of the uncoordinated physicality of the forced shot, and the shot was like iron.

With his back to the backboard, McGee jumped high, grabbed the ball in his hands, and threw the ball to the frontcourt while he was still in the air. He didn't specifically look for the teammate's position, because he was very sure that the Lakers could control the ball.

Tianyang and Ingram ran the fastest, Lillard followed behind, and the basketball rolled in front of the three.

If the stalemate continues, the Lakers will get 100% of the ball, but the fast break may be affected to a certain extent.

In order to avoid this kind of accident, Tianyang suddenly stopped and slowed down to block Lillard.

It was only blocked for a second, but Ingram picked up the basketball and rushed to the inside. Facing the unguarded rim, he dunked with both hands, and the difference between the two teams came to 11 points.

Lillard shook his head and walked to the bottom line, and the fans cheered for him.

Served from the baseline, received a pass back from Aminu, and Lillard rushed forward with the ball again.

He was faster, like a ray of light, and didn't give Ross a chance to get close at all, but Tianyang blocked his path like a black hole, no matter how he changed directions, he still couldn't get rid of the entanglement.

After struggling continuously, Lillard dribbled the ball in a wide range, and Coby, like the lore in front of Wade, defended against Tianyang's side, drifting and twisting his body to shoot a three-pointer.

"Lillard made a three-pointer!" Breen raised his hands and shouted in the live broadcast room, full of excitement and anticipation.

Mark Jackson on the side also held his breath like more than 1 fans in the Moda Center, staring closely at the trajectory of the basketball's flight, just waiting for the friction sound of the hollow net!
Unexpectedly, they failed to wait for any sound...

There was neither a 'swish' sound of hollow entry into the net, nor a sound of 'bang bang bang' bouncing back and forth, not even a sound of 'dang' when a shot was struck, nor did Tianyang complete a block with a sound of 'snap', only because of the Ladd made a non-stick shot, and the basketball fell directly into McGee's arms.

McGee was stunned for a second, and after reacting, he swung his arms and made a long pass.

Lillard was still in shock, and when he recovered, Tianyang had already picked up the basketball and rushed beyond the three-point line.

"Shua", there was a crisp net scraping sound, and Tianyang hit a three-pointer, but to the ears of the Blazers fans, it sounded like a magic sound, and they were very irritable.

The point difference widened to 14 points. Stotts got up and called a timeout. He was a little desperate. The Lakers are [-] martial arts, and they can do everything!
