On the sidelines, Tomjanovic clapped his hands to encourage the team to play well and rearranged the on-court lineup.

Atkins, Butler, Luke Walton, Brian Cook, Chris Anderson, this lineup is still very aggressive. Atkins, Luke Walton, and Brian Cook are typical examples of the offensive attributes stronger than defensive attributes in their respective positions. This is also the characteristic of the Lakers. They not only need to win, but also win beauty and advocate offense.

However, after the game started, the Nuggets on the other side had the advantage of the game. Boykins, who was at a minimum altitude of only 165 in the NBA, ran around among ordinary people in the Lakers, as if he was in a no-man. Not only could he score points, but he could also assist his teammates. However, the defensive disadvantage brought by his height was not fully utilized by the Lakers.

The Brazilian Nene, who had not yet cut the balls, became the biggest beneficiary of Boykins' disruption of the Lakers' defensive system, ravaging the Lakers' basket twice in a row, helping the team to score a 9:2 attack wave in three minutes, directly overtaking the score.

In this NBA period, most teams have more definitions of substitute players and only help the main players get more rest time. The Lakers are no exception. Seeing that the situation is not good, Tom Janovic replaced Kobe, Ke Yan advised Kobe on the sidelines to help Tom Janovic make new tactical arrangements for the team's offense.

As soon as Kobe appeared on the court, he completed a hand-in-hand cooperation with Walton and suddenly started, changing direction and jumped into the basket in the middle, making a dunk!

The Nuggets attacked. Boykins was oppressed after pick-and-roll. He jumped up and passed the ball and was cut off by Kobe. He directly made a fast break. He relied on his physical advantage to score a layup. He also made a foul by Nahura and made a free throw to 2.1. After Kobe appeared on the court, he scored 5 points in a row, helping the Lakers get back the lead in the score and also won the applause of fans of Staples Center.

The Nuggets attacked, Nahura took the ball from the outside and made a direct pass, Boykins ran back and took the pick-and-roll, and a breakthrough basket made a steadily, narrowing the gap to 1 point.

The Lakers were in the positional battle, and Kobe beat Leonard to miss the jump shot. His offensive choice was still the only one, and Nahura got the rebound.

The Nuggets attacked, Boykins once again made a step past Atkins, attracting Kobe to make up for defense and pass the ball, and Leonard missed two points in the open space.

Both teams have weaknesses. On the Lakers, substitutes have their own characteristics, but overall offense is strong and defense is weak. On the offensive end, Kobe has a great influence on the team's tactical choice. On the Nuggets, the advantage is in the inside. Few teams in the league like the Nuggets, including Camby, Martin and Nene, three insiders, including Nahula, are actually very practical blue-collar workers. However, investing a lot of money in the inside leads to the average strength of other players on the wings of the Nuggets except Anthony. Secondly, outside players, except Karen Mok, have no strong passing awareness. Camby, you can use this as a blue-collar worker. Martin and Nene are not just blue-collar workers, but it is difficult to play their own characteristics without the ball rights!

"Rudy, we need to play to the team's advantages on the wings. The team needs to give Caron more ball rights to attack the opponent." Ke Yan made his own proposal to Tomjanovic.

Tom Janovic considered the situation of the game, passed his instructions to Terry Brown, and then replaced Atkins with Terry Brown.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe attracted defense from the weak side, Terry Brown handed the ball to Butler. Facing DeMar Johnson's defense, Butler relied on his physical advantage to enter the basket and made a dunk!

The Nuggets counterattacked, and played Anderson alone in the inner frame. After pushing it into the basket, they also gave the Lakers a dunk. The Brazilian has great physical fitness, strength, and good footsteps. Last season, as the team's main center, it was also a hero for the team to enter the playoffs. This season, it was a pity that the team was pushed to the bench because of the team's introduction of strong aids. However, the Nuggets still recognize his potential very much and have plans to give him a big contract.

The Lakers attacked, Cook gave Kobe an unball cover and then involved him on the outside. The Nuggets replaced defense slowly in the interior, and Kobe successfully cut the blankly, received a straight pass from the middle, and easily hit the board.

Ke Yan designed several conventional offensive tactics for the team on the offensive end, including a quick baseline ball, and a "strange move" that Odom directly advances or sends a pass to disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm after grabbing the rebound. Combined with Kobe's singles on the court, it sometimes makes the opponent a little difficult to figure out.

The Nuggets' offense failed again, the Lakers made a quick counterattack, a three-line fast break, Kobe easily scored a layup, and the difference reached 5 points.

After Kobe appeared, Boykins' offense was very restricted. Although Nene occasionally showed his strength, his offensive efficiency also declined after the Lakers' more resolute attack. The Lakers continued to exert force, completing a 13:4 attack wave, further widening the score gap to 14 points.

This offensive wave also made fans of Staples Center stand up and applaud.

"This offense is really good!"

"Compared to O'Neal's hand-to-hand combat and crushing in the inside, this smooth attack looks really good."

Ke Yan hugged his hands, thinking.

Compared to the advantageous situation in the score, he was even happier with Kobe's "acceptance" of offensive tactics. At least, when tactics can achieve results and improve the team's offensive efficiency, Kobe can run more, pass more balls, and create opportunities for his teammates, which is slightly easier to deal with than he imagined!

The score difference was widened, and the Nuggets replaced the main players such as Miller, Anthony, and Camby. After appearing, Anthony immediately returned an all-connect dunk that slipped through the bottom line.

In addition to singles, Melons are also very active in running without the ball. There are really too many things that such a talented attacker can do on the field.

Although Caron Butler was barely able to match Anthony in terms of strength and speed, Anthony still used his big butt to hit Butler twice in a row, and then squeezed into the inside, either directly scored or caused damage, which gave the Lakers a headache.

Under the leadership of Anthony, the score difference was narrowed to 6 points. At this time, Ke Yan made a gesture to the players on the sidelines, and the Lakers players began to launch pincer attacks against Anthony.

In terms of personal offensive arsenal, Anthony is more abundant than the Chosen Son James, but his playing style and positioning are the strongest attacker. His skills are all focused on scoring. His defense is quite average. Sorry for his physical talent, his passing vision is not good. Once the personal offensive mode is launched, it is difficult to terminate. For such players, appropriate double-teaming is very effective.

Moreover, except for Leonard in the second position, the other players of the Nuggets themselves are not strong in shooting ability, and Andre Miller's shooting percentage is still good, but the front shake before shooting is very long, so it is not a big threat if it fills up in time.

The Lakers curbed the Nuggets' counterattack and led the Nuggets by 9 points 59:50 before the end of the half.
Chapter completed!
