Chapter 112 Very Hard(1/2)
The game resumes after substitutions, and the Suns attack first.
Barbosa and Nash are too flexible. They don't use tactics, they are just misplaced.
Barbosa played against Ariza, relying on his flexible dribbling skills to get past the opponent and drive inside.
Kobe made a cover, and then Barbosa scored the ball. Lagabell made another three-pointer from the bottom corner and hit it.
Laga Bell has already hit 4 three-pointers today, which is crazy.
During the transition between offense and defense, the Lakers didn't need any tactics. Zhang Zhiyuan threw directly at Barbosa, but Barbosa couldn't cover it at all.
The ball goes in.
The game became more than a touch game.
The two teams continued to play for a few rounds, and their feelings began to decline.
The Lakers hit a three-game winning streak, and the point difference directly opened to double digits.
But then the Suns started to hit the ground running, and the Lakers were no longer obsessed with shooting three-pointers.
Zhang Zhiyuan broke through to the basket and scored two points. Kobe Bryant went to the basket and drew a foul and made two free throws. Ariza made a three-pointer from the open space.
The Suns only had a power outage for 1 minute, and the point difference narrowed to 2 points. The two teams were playing exciting games.
The Suns attacked, Barbosa continued to take three-point shots, but missed the ball.
The Lakers attacked and Kobe hit a mid-range shot.
104 versus 104.
The score was evened.
When the Suns attacked, the Suns also began to play inside.
The reason why they missed consecutive three-pointers just now was due to their touch, but it was also due to the Lakers' defense.
The Lakers increased their defense on the outside, so the Suns tried to score points inside, forcing the Lakers to shrink their defense.
This task fell to Stoudemire, who caught the ball and turned around for a jump shot, which he hit.
However, just one round is not enough for the Lakers to change their strategy.
In the next round, the Lakers will still focus on defending the perimeter, and Stoudemire will continue to ask for the ball.
Hayes couldn't defend himself and could only foul Stoudemire and send the opponent to the free throw line.
Stoudemire made one of two free throws and the Lakers made a profit.
Turning around, Zhang Zhiyuan hit a three-pointer, netting two points in a single round.
However, by this point in the game, the Lakers' interior players had committed more fouls.
Bynum 4 times, Kwame Brown 2 times, Odom 3 times, and Hayes 4 times.
In order to prevent the Suns from launching a fast break, Kobe also pulled two players and currently has three fouls.
This is a big hidden danger, and D'Antoni also discovered this problem after being reminded by his assistant.
So, he called a timeout, and then the players tried to cause as much damage as possible.
If they can knock down a few Lakers players, then their hopes are quite high.
Subsequently, the Suns changed their style of play and chose to focus on breakthroughs.
First Nash burst, then Barbosa burst, and then passed the ball to Stoudemire to attack inside.
They are the only three in the Suns team who can cause damage, and the others are not very good. New
This style of play has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it is too deliberate and inefficient.
The advantage is that the Lakers' interior defensive pressure has skyrocketed.
After Hayes committed five fouls, he didn't dare to play with intensity anymore.
Jackson discovered the opponent's attempt and immediately replaced Hayes with Mim.
Mim just came on the field and had 0 fouls. He can make bold moves and increase his intensity.
However, the Suns players are not stupid. When they see a person with 0 fouls, they no longer insist on drawing fouls, but shoot whenever they have the opportunity.
Mim is a substitute among the substitutes, and the defense is directly invisible.
Asking him to guard Stoudemire is almost like giving away points.
After a few rounds, Mim was defeated.
Fortunately, the Lakers are strong offensively and have been scoring steadily.
At the end of the third quarter, 120 to 122, the Lakers led by 2 points.
The two sides battled wits and courage, and in the end the battle was inextricable. You still have to watch the last quarter.
Soon, the last quarter begins.
Both Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant were resting off the court. They were going to rest for two or three minutes before going to the decisive battle.
On the court are Farmar, Vujacic, Walton, Odom and Mihm.
Finally getting playing time, Vujacic was so excited that he almost made a dribbling error.
Kobe was an iron man at the 2nd position, playing an average of 40 minutes per game, and after Kobe left the game, Zhang Zhiyuan would move to the 2nd position.
In other words, only when Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan were not on the court at the same time, and during garbage time, did Vujacic have a chance to play, and he was miserable.
This year is his contract year. If he continues to perform like this, he may only be able to sign a minimum salary if he renews his contract.
It's hard to say whether a person with a low salary can get Sharapova again.
Vujacic quickly passed the ball to Farmar, who tried to break through with the ball.
However, it is still difficult for him to break through Barbossa.
After a near miss, Farmar threw the ball to Odom in a hurry.
At times like this, we still have to rely on Odom to carry the weight.
Odom caught the ball and hit the penalty area twice, then turned around and shot a jump shot, but the ball missed.
The sun strikes back.
Grant came into use at this time, relying on his excellent running awareness to get rid of Walton to catch the ball, and then made a standard mid-range shot.
The ball goes in.
122 to 122, tied.
The Lakers counterattacked, and Mihm got a good chance under the basket. Farmar passed the ball. Then Mihm used his height to make a small hook in front of Diaw and threw the ball into the basket.
The offense and defense switched, and the Suns scored again.
Relatively speaking, the Suns' bench lineup is much better than the Lakers'.
After only playing for 2 minutes, Jackson replaced Kobe and Fisher first.
After another 2 minutes of playing, Zhang Zhiyuan and Bynum were also replaced.
When he came on the court, the score had become 133 to 128, and the Suns led by 5 points.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan on the court, Lakers fans felt a little relieved.
They believe Zhang Zhiyuan can help the team turn around. He has done this many times and rarely disappoints.
Mr. Key is not just talking nonsense.
When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan relied on his running awareness to get rid of Grant, and then caught the ball and shot.
The ball didn't go in, but D'Antoni was still frightened and immediately replaced Grant, letting the faster Bell guard Zhang Zhiyuan.
Nash, Barbosa, and Laga Belle were present at the same time.
At the critical moment, D'Antoni actually used a three-back lineup.
The Suns attacked, and their three defenders ran wildly looking for opportunities.
But at this time, the Lakers would no longer give them a chance easily, they were keeping a close eye on each one.
Seeing that the attack time is getting shorter and shorter, Nash can only take action when the opportunity is not good.
Fisher interfered and the ball missed.
In the transition between offense and defense, the Suns' defensive intensity also increased.
It was difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan to catch the ball, and Laga Bell was always around him.
As soon as Fisher saw this situation, he passed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe got the opportunity to single on Barbosa.
Kobe Bryant is very dominant in terms of strength and height. In this case, don't expect him to pass the ball. Zhang Zhiyuan simply gave up running.
Sure enough, Kobe took two steps toward the basket, then turned around and shot a jumper.
The difficulty of this kind of shot is actually a bit high, but it is not a problem for Kobe, he is used to throwing like this.
The ball goes in.
133 to 130.
The Suns attack, Nash singles out Fisher.
This can only be done by Fisher, and no one else on the Lakers can help.
As long as the Lakers missed a player, Nash would get an assist.
Nash relied on clapping the basketball to change the rhythm, trying to break through.
Fisher was facing a formidable enemy.
Although Nash doesn't have many breakthroughs, it doesn't mean that Nash's breakthroughs are not good, it's just that he has other more efficient ways to score.
And when he was about to break through, Fisher couldn't guard him.
To be continued...
