"That's really a bit low." Kobe curled his lips slightly, "I hope to see you get 50 points."

"Do your best." Li Zhe nodded and turned around and walked into the stadium.

As DJ cheers sounded, the two teams fell into positions, point guard Li Zhe vs. Buk (Aron Brooks), point guard Vujasic vs. Ariza, small front Ate vs. Bathir, big front Scola vs. Odom, center Bynum vs. Hayes.

At the beginning of the jump ball, Bynum easily defeated Hayes with his three advantages in height, wingspan, and weight, and steadily transferred the ball to the backcourt.

Li Zhe picked up the basketball and slowly advanced forward.

When you reach the top of the arc, you will see Bathir on the right, Ariza stands in the bottom corner, and decisively pointing to the floor to call the cover on the left.

Seeing this, Odom stepped up the wall to block Brooks. Li Zhe dribbled the ball with his left hand and rushed to the free throw line in three steps. Facing Scola's defense, he stopped quickly and shook his shoulders and pulled the ball, while looking up at the ring.

Scolla stood up and jumped high and raised his right hand to interfere, but Li Zhe suddenly stopped his movements, rushed forward, accelerated to the basket again, and scored a layup before Hayes made up for defense.

"This fake move is so beautiful. If it were me, I would jump to the rhythm and try to block it."

"He has a bigger palm than an average point guard, a strong sense of man-ball, and his fake movements are particularly smooth."

The Rockets attacked, and Xiao Bu received the ball in the backcourt and advanced.

Walking to the right wing, passing the ball to Scola at the top of the arc, running sideways towards the bottom corner. At the same time, Bathir, who was trying to rush into the inside, suddenly ran back to 45 degrees on the left, received Scola's pass, and arched his body to wait for his teammates to run.

On the other side, after Scola crossed the ball, he immediately stepped forward and set up a wall at the free throw line to serve as a positioning cover.

Ariza took the opportunity to rush to the top of the arc and took the pass from Bathir to three threatening positions, but Omdo completed the switch in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that there was no shooting or breakthrough space, Ariza scored the ball and pulled it back to the three-point line. He turned around and ran to the right side line, cross-covering it with Xiao Bu who was rushing towards him, and finally took Li Zhe to the bottom line.

Hayes set up a wall in advance, and Li Zhe was blocked and could not catch up.

Bynum switched defense, the horizontal movement speed was too slow, and he fell behind two positions in the blink of an eye.

Scola passed the ball from the middle, Ariza received it, took two big steps in a row, and scored a layup with a backhand.

"To be honest, Princeton's tactics do look gorgeous, but the various running positions are indeed more complicated."

"It's more suitable for teams that don't have superstars and all players are willing to run, but they are prone to errors at critical moments."

The Lakers attacked, and Li Zhe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

Seeing Bynum successfully blocked the position at the basket, he decisively gave the ball.

Hayes immediately lowered the center of gravity, pressed his right hand against Bynum's waist, and his thick thighs supported the floor to leverage the force.

But Bynum easily got the ball, slapped the ball heavily and took advantage of the force. He turned around and faced the ring sideways, forced himself to jump, and smashed it with one hand.

With a clang, the basketball entered the net.

The Rockets' offense is the tactical running style that before, and it's a bit like not giving up after tastes the sweetness.

But Omdo's pace of change of defense was a little slow. After Ariza received the ball from the top of the arc, he rushed directly to the left to the inside line.

At this time, the free throw line area was crowded, and the three Lakers players were unable to switch defenses.

Originally, Ariza thought that the mid-range shot was urgently stopped, but Atai rushed forward to intercept.

He had just run two steps and the basketball flew to the bottom corner. Bathir took it and made a steadily three-pointer.

Swish! Hollow enters the net.

The Lakers trailed the Rockets 4-5, and cheers rang out from the Toyota Center.

Fei Er Jackson spread his hands on the sidelines and asked Atai why he made such a low-level defensive mistake.

Atai didn't answer, and walked towards the frontcourt.

"Haha, Ron said he didn't care about the duel with Ariza, but his body was very honest."

"You can't blame him, the root cause of the problem is that Vujasic's cover speed is too slow, and this tactic has been fought once."

The Lakers attacked, Li Zhe dribbled the ball and pushed forward, raising his right hand high to show his tactical gestures.

Walk to the right wing, pass the ball to Ate, rushed forward to cover, and slipped from outside to the bottom line.

The three players squeezed together to block all the space, Bu was unable to catch up, and Bathir was forced to switch defenses.

Seeing this, Bynum took the initiative to leave the three-second zone, and Odom also mentioned the top of the arc, leaving the entire basket area.

Atai lowered the center of gravity, raised his left hand and slightly separated Xiao Bu. He dribbled the ball under the basket with his weight advantage, like a heavy road roller, pushing a small Alto, and walking towards the basket without any obstruction.

The more he walked in, the more he became, the more he became, and when he entered the three-second zone, he suddenly jumped around and poked the ball.

Atae took the opportunity to close the ball and shoot, and the referee blew the whistle almost at the same time, calling the foul by the thug.

Adelman stood up from the bench, spread his hands at Xiao Bu, and showed his doubts.

Xiao Bu nodded frequently, as if he was admitting his mistake.

Thomas sighed: "A small defender like us always wants to prove that he can defend players at any position..."

Miller shook his head: "It should be a foul in advance, and it is not a problem to not be able to prevent it. After all, the gap in body shape is too big, but you cannot get free throws."

At the referee's instructions, Atai stood on the free throw line and booed everywhere.

It seemed to be affected, he played two irons in a row, and Hayes grabbed the defensive rebound, and the booed turned into cheers.

Xiao Bu received the ball and advanced, rushed to the frontcourt without making gestures, and the Rockets still ran the same tactics as before.

Odom changed defense early, but forgot to communicate, which caused Vujasic to react half a beat slower.

Scola took the opportunity to cut the basket at a free pass, received Ariza's pass, and took the jump and hooked shot.

Dong! Bounce back and bounce into the net.

The Lakers attacked, Li Zhe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to pass the ball to Ate, trying to create a misalignment opportunity.

But this time Bathir turned very quickly, leaving room for retreat in advance.

Xiao Bu completed the pursuit easily, but Atai also seized the opportunity and raised the ball with both hands to pass the ball to the inside line.

Bynum received the ball and faced Hayes with his back, and another set of forced turn-on combos, as easy as drinking water.

He thought that Hayes retreated early and beat the basketball down.

The two bent over and competed, and the basketball got out of bounds.

The referee blew the whistle and blew the backcourt ball.

Hayes beats his chest with both hands, bent his arms and shoulders to show off his muscles, and cheers resounded again throughout the Toyota Center.

The Rockets' offense is still the original tactic.

After running back and forth, Ariza fought against Vujasic 45 degrees on the right.

Continuous change of hands under his crotch, making Vajcić's eyes appear, but his own offensive rhythm was also disrupted. When he rushed to the free throw line, he actually chose to pass the ball in a small range and was directly intercepted by Odom.

"It seems that Ariza has not practiced a ball-holding attack in the offseason." Thomas shrugged.

"Rockets Yao and McGrady were injured, and a core must be established." Miller sighed.

The Lakers in the Border attacked, Li Zhe dribbled the ball and advanced to the top of the arc, and waved to position the cover.

When Odom stepped onto the wall, he accelerated to dribble to the left, Koscola and Xiao Bu double-teamed together.

Seeing Hayes also shrinking to the basket, he stopped suddenly and turned his head, throwing the ball towards the top of the arc.

Odom took the ball, drove forward, pulled up and jumped, and scored two points.

When! Iron.

Hayes got the rebound and landed and passed the right sideline.

Ariza received the ball quickly, and Bud and Battier followed suit, but the Lakers only had Li Zhe to chase him.

Three against one in the frontcourt, crushing the number of players.

Ariza rushed to the basket, faced Li Zhe's defense, and divided the ball into the middle.

Bathir took the ball and jumped, and rarely buckled with one hand, Li Zhe directly gave up the attempt to block.

With a clang, the basketball entered the net.

The Lakers attacked, Li Zhe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and raised his hand to signal the whole game to pull it away.

Seeing this, about half of the fans on the scene booed.

Thomas immediately smiled and said, "I have been in the basketball industry for so many years. The first time I saw only half of the audience booing. The Houston Toyota Center can be said to be Jamie Lee for half of the home court. It's so crazy!"

Miller also laughed: "Jamie Lee has not proved himself tonight. I think he should have more personal attacks. The Lakers just experienced an overtime battle last night, and the physical strength of veterans such as Odom has been significantly affected."

After the words came to his voice, Li Zhe changed hands and directions continuously, and made a strong inside line from the left.

The speed was too fast, like a yellow lightning, instantly swaying Xiao Bu's two positions.

Ariza came up to make up for the defense, and Li Zhe kept walking, but he passed the ball towards the bottom corner.

Vujasic received it in his hand, and no one was three meters away. He calmly glanced at the basket and raised his hand.

When! Shooting iron.

Scola grabbed the pull board, landed and turned around, and passed the long pass with a reminder from his teammates and fans.

Xiao Bu, who was quick to get the ball in the middle, rushed to the basket without any obstacles, and easily scored a layup.

The Rockets led 11-4, and Phil Jackson did not request a timeout.

…

When the Lakers attacked again, Li Zhe wanted to play singles, but the Rockets began to double-team the free throw line and defend the team.

After finally passing the ball out, the teammates' shooting percentage is too low.

In a blink of an eye, there are 4 minutes left in the first quarter.

With Hayes hitting a jump shot, the Lakers trailed 10-20.

After Li Zhe received the ball in the backcourt, he took the initiative to request a timeout.

The large screen shot on the scene was given to Phil, with no expression on his face.
Chapter completed!
