Chapter 216 Old School Philosophy
The Lake of Fire battle continued, with Kobe and George leading the team and played the first four and a half minutes of the fourth quarter.
With 7 minutes and 32 seconds left in the game, Xu Tian replaced Nick Young and returned to the field to lead the game again.
George didn't rest.
Bryant was replaced by TJ Warren, temporarily regained his strength, and would not appear again until the last minute of the game.
Xu Tian received the serve and quickly gave it to George in the frontcourt, who would organize the attack.
The three outside players of the Lakers all have good shooting range, and their functions on the court do not overlap, but after all, they occupy more possession of the ball and cannot let the three play at the same time.So at some point, someone still has to make a sacrifice.
Facing Ariza's defense at the top of the arc, George bent over and dribbled, looking for opportunities to break through.
Beverly is responsible for defending Xu Tian, with a lot of moves and a high degree of confrontation.
The referee has received an open letter from the league and has relaxed the scale of whistleblowing against Xu Tian, and the two sides who grabbed the position were not called fouls.
Beverly considers himself one of the tough guys, but his strength is far from that of Xu Tian, and he is gradually unable to resist, and is beaten back steadily.
George's vision is not wide enough to pass the ball in place in time, and there is not much attack time left, so he chooses the most difficult mid-range fadeaway shot.
Xu Tian has already practiced all kinds of offensive skills to the point of proficiency, and he can be regarded as a disciple of the teacher, so he doesn't often practice with Kobe.In this way, the opportunity was naturally seized by George.
Familiar recipe, familiar taste!
106-112, the Rockets lead by 6 points!
Kobe looked at the score above the stadium and frowned slightly.In his memory, this kind of score should be the score of the whole game, but now there are still more than seven minutes before the end of the game. This kind of offensive rhythm makes him very uncomfortable.
In the NBA before the small ball era, the defenders and attackers near the penalty area were equally weighted. The tall inside group would force the guards to master more offensive skills, but today's strict whistleblowing standards undoubtedly reduce the difficulty of offensive players.Such a change allows players to only need to specialize in one or two skills, and there is no need to practice techniques such as back body and footwork.
This is very inconsistent with Kobe's basketball philosophy.
The times will not stop because of someone's opposition, and they are still rolling forward, but some technologies will never be outdated.
Beverly dribbled the ball across half court, elbowed Xu Tian away with his right arm, broke through to the free throw line to score the ball, and wanted to give it to Ariza who was standing on the left side of the top of the arc.
George is a defensive champion, intuitively judged the offensive choice Beverley would make, and intercepted the pass midway.
Xu Tian immediately turned on his horsepower, his legs stepped on the floor steadily and powerfully, and rushed towards the front court as quickly as the wind.
The bright lights of the Toyota Center Arena shone on the Lakers' golden jerseys, which made people feel dazzled.
As long as NBA players are not particularly rough, they basically have the ability to push and counterattack.This is naturally even more so for an all-around player like George.
The basketball flew into the air freely, drew a huge arc, and landed precisely in front of Xu Tianmoving.
Xu Tian comfortably received the ball, took a step before receiving the ball, fully stretched his right arm, and completed a powerful dunk.
108-112!
Bickerstaff didn't have many tactical reserves, so he could only send Harden to the technical stage and wait for the dead ball to play.
Beverly dribbled forward, feeling really uneasy, ignoring his teammates on the left and right, and breaking through in a straight line like a headless chicken.
Xu Tian stood still on both feet, and fell to the ground when he came into contact with Beverly's strong impact.
The referee blew his whistle and called Beverley a rare offensive foul.
Beverly became ignorant and yelled at the referee. Soon he paid the price and received a technical foul.
Harden saw that Beverly was still reluctant, so he hurried to the court and pulled him away who was in agitation.
Xu Tian is the most accurate free throw player in the Lakers lineup. He executed technical free throws without hesitation and steadily scored a point for the Lakers.
George walked to the sideline, received the serve from the referee, and looked for teammates who were running on the court.
Xu Tian bypassed TJ Warren's weak screen, dribbled the ball to the inside, and successfully attracted the Rockets to double-team.
TJ Warren ran to the right corner as planned, and before he could react, the ball was passed to him.Unparalleled speed, comparable to SF Express.
Harden was in charge of guarding TJ Warren, running back at a slow pace, with his left hand out to interfere.
TJ Warren has become accustomed to the overall rhythm of the three-point shot, making quick shots.
The ball passed Harden's outstretched left hand, flew into the air with a little roundabout, and after reaching the highest point, it slowly fell towards the basket.
In the Toyota Center Arena, nearly [-] spectators watched the basketball and watched it fall into the basket with precision.
112-112!
Howard sat off the court, watching the offense and defense indifferently, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Harden is a player who wants to win. He dribbled the ball across the half court and quickly broke through against Xu Tian's defense. He didn't give him time to lower his center of gravity at all.
Xu Tian is a weak defensive player, coupled with his inability to reach out to interfere, he instantly entered a disadvantage.
Harden seized the rare opportunity, quickly raised his arm, and beat Xu Tian's thug for a foul.
Xu Tian raised his right hand and shook his head lightly.
Harden stood on the familiar free throw line and hit two free throws steadily.
112-114!
Xu Tian didn't go to receive the serve, but ran to the frontcourt slowly, and stood outside the three-point line on the left, continuing to face Beverly's dirty defensive moves.
George dribbled the ball across the half, and seeing that the point difference was only three points, his desire to perform was unprecedentedly high, and he directly accelerated the breakthrough, dodging Ariza's defense.
Ariza had been singled by Kobe and Xu Tian in this game, and now he was passed by George. He really couldn't hold back his face. Before George could shoot, he made a foul and ruined his chance of a mid-range shot.
Xu Tian walked out of the sideline and saw George standing in the corner, looking at him while passing the ball to TJ Warren who was unnoticed at the top of the arc.
When serving a throw-in, the most taboo is to serve the bottom corner. There is too little room for movement. Once the opponent double-teams, it is easy to make mistakes.Therefore, most offenses at critical moments must be initiated from the top of the arc.
TJ Warren received the ball and broke through, quickly passed Harden who was standing like a stake, and attracted the defense of Motiejunas.
Thackeray is vacant.
TJ Warren can't organize an offense, but a simple pass can be done, through Thackeray in the penalty area.
Thackeray received the ball and turned around, facing Capela's defense, and with stronger strength, he won the opportunity to stand on the free throw line.
The players sitting on the bench have a good relationship with Thackeray. They stood up and applauded to encourage this positive player.
Thackeray is still miraculous, and both free throws are hollow into the net.
114-114!
Harden received the serve, started the CVT in an instant, and drove to the frontcourt without slowing down the whole way, relying on TJ Warren who retreated to make a shot.
The lack of basketball, but it did not affect the success of this offense.
