Chapter 390 Zhu Fangyu's lore
Because of the first round sweep, the Lakers have a lot of rest time.
Gao Ming began to consider the match against the Grizzlies. Although the series between the Grizzlies and Jazz has not ended, the score has been 3:1, and the Jazz has no chance to overtake.
Sure enough, the Grizzlies won the fifth game within two days and eliminated the Jazz.
The Jazz's lineup is not weak, Oku, Boozer, Miles, Matthews, Deron, and signed Millsap, which is also a small six-star team. However, Millsap is the Bucks champion, and he hopes to start.
But Boozer is not only Deron's best partner, the Jazz's old man, but also won the Nets' championship. The qualifications and team fit are higher than Millsap's. How could the Jazz let Millsap replace Boozer? The only one who can be replaced is Millsap.
However, Millsap lacked range when playing the third position, so the Grizzlies seized the opportunity.
Although Millsap volunteered to play as a substitute in the next few games, the Grizzlies had already played smoothly. Guy and Zhu Fangyu beat the Jazz's wings. One of them had strong ability to attack the basket, the other was accurate in three-pointers, and the other Gasol, who was in the inside, played the Jazz well.
The remaining two sets of series in the West also decided to win.
The Mavericks eliminated the Hornets 4:1, and the Dog Spricks eliminated the Suns 4:2.
There was no surprise in the East, with the Wizards, Bulls, Bucks and Celtics advancing one after another.
"Application template player: Yao Ming won the regular season MVP and got 10 badge upgrade points."
"Applying template players: Yao Ming averaged triple-double per game in the season and got the chance to draw S-level templates."
"Application template player: Yi Jianlian..."
It is another season of harvest. This season, Yi Jianlian gradually took over and replaced Wang Zhizhi's position. It can be seen that this was intentional by the league. Obviously, they do not want to see too many Chinese players win awards.
Gao Ming understands that after all, NBA is an American basketball league, so it is normal to be suppressed.
But even so, Gao Ming has gained a lot, which is enough to upgrade Chen Jianghua's organizational core to the Hall of Fame and also to upgrade Liu Xiaoyu's steady shooter to the silver level.
The second round of the series started, and Gao Ming made adjustments before the game. He took Odom and Martial Saint from the starting lineup and replaced Rashid and Ariza.
The two of them were mainly to defend Gasol and Guy. Odom was not in enough tonnage, so it was difficult to defend Gasol; the Martial Saint moved slowly, so it was difficult to defend Gasol.
After the game started, it really worked out a good effect. Although Rashid is old, he is really resistant. As long as he doesn't let him play fast, he will have no problem.
Ariza and Guy did a good job? His defensive ability has been adjusted by Gao Ming. After being trained, it is better than before? Nothing is much worse than the Martial Saint. Gao Ming used them to defend the tank-type third position mainly using the Martial Saint to defend the speed-type wing? In addition to Kobe, the Lakers' wing defense is simply overwhelming, and any type of player can defend.
Guy and Zhu Fangyu both need to spend a lot of effort to succeed. If they hadn't both of them had good enough physical strength, they would have been exhausted long ago.
Gasol also kept coming out to help them block people? Let Guy attack the basket, so that Zhu Fangyu could run out of the point guard more easily.
With the tacit cooperation of the three, the Grizzlies followed the Lakers' scoring rhythm in the first quarter.
Gao Ming frowned, the game would be difficult to play in this way!
The Grizzlies are in good condition today, especially Zhu Fangyu's. This gives Gao Ming a very bad premonition? If this key shooter feels good, this game may be mysterious.
No? He has to be restricted.
While the holiday was resting, Gao Ming said to Kobe and Liu Xiaoyu: "When you go on stage later? Keep a close eye on Zhu Fangyu and don't let him keep his feel."
Kobe nodded? “Okay!”
Liu Xiaoyu is a little lacking in confidence? “I’m afraid I can’t defend myself.”
"Just do your best!" Gao Ming didn't force it? Zhu Fangyu was in his peak period, so it was indeed a bit difficult to let Liu Xiaoyu defend him.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe followed Zhu Fangyu with all his strength. He himself was also a strong defender and confident that he could defend Zhu Fangyu. After holding it in for a season, he felt that he had endless energy and exhausted Zhu Fangyu.
He is very confident in his strength, but he overestimated his physical strength. After all, he is already 32 years old and is no longer young, so he is a little overwhelmed in running the whole audience.
He wanted to grit his teeth and persevere, but Gao Ming didn't let him go. If he beat the Grizzlies, he would exhaust Kobe. How else would he fight later?
Gao Ming sent Liu Xiaoyu, "Follow the person and don't let him get an empty seat. Do your best for the rest!"
Liu Xiaoyu nodded with a cautious expression. Zhu Fangyu is a famous domestic star and a benchmark figure on the wing. All the rising stars know him well.
However, the gap in strength is too big, the more you understand, the more desperate you become.
Liu Xiaoyu couldn't keep up with Zhu Fangyu, and his physique was not as good as Zhu Fangyu. Zhu Fangyu could easily play him alone with his touch.
Fortunately, the Lakers are better than the Grizzlies inside, so they did not let the Grizzlies overtake.
Kobe moved to Gao Ming's side, "Gao, let me get on!"
"Don't worry!" Gao Ming shook his head, "Don't care about the winner and loser of this game. Zhu Fangyu won't have such a good feel in every game."
Although Zhu Fangyu is the key man, his feel is indeed a bit more than his usual hit rate today.
By the third quarter, he had already scored 40 points.
Zhu Fangyu rarely gets such points in the game because he has never been a main attacker. The Grizzlies' main attacker is Guy, but today Guy is a little difficult to take action because Zhu Fangyu got the ball.
The main reason is that his shooting percentage is really high, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 62%, which is completely beyond what ordinary people can achieve.
Before playing in the last quarter, Gao Ming changed his strategy, "After playing, he let go of the Grizzlies' No. 1 position and double-teamed Zhu Fangyu throughout the whole process."
Facing the double-team between Kobe and Chen Jianghua, Zhu Fang and Yuguo were caught off guard and failed to score several goals.
The Lakers took this opportunity to open the score and let the fans see hope for victory.
"Come on! Come on!" The fans kept shouting, hoping that the Lakers could win the game in one go.
At this time, Gasol stood up, realistic slapped Bynum's shot, and then grabbed another key rebound in the frontcourt to close the score.
The Grizzlies team used their lives and dragged the game into the last three minutes.
Seeing that the score difference was only 2 points, Gao Ming immediately stood on the sidelines and shouted to the players: "Double-teaming Zhu Fangyu throughout the whole process, don't let him take action!"
When the Lakers players heard his words, they immediately surrounded Zhu Fangyu.
Zhu Fangyu was helpless. He had just run out of the open position several times and had a backup defense. Don’t tell me that he had no chance to connect the ball. Fortunately, the Lakers players focused on him and gave Guy and Gasol the chance, but actually surpassed the score.
With 35 seconds left, Kobe received the ball from the outside. It was only when he dragged it to the end that he got an open position under the cover of the Martial Saint and made a three-pointer!
"yeah!"
Kobe celebrated with fist, but he quickly ran back to defend.
"Defense! Defense!" The fans were also shouting.
Zhu Fangyu had no chance to catch the ball, and Guy got the ball. The Martial Saint pressed Guy tightly and refused to let him take action. Guy had no choice but to find an opportunity to pass the ball.
However, Lakers players are very hard to defend and pass the ball.
Time disappeared bit by bit. Zhu Fangyu saw that this was not good, so he immediately ran towards the center line.
Guy quickly passed the ball back. As soon as Zhu Fangyu received the ball, Kobe defended it. Zhu Fangyu had no choice but to carry Kobe and try to get close to the three-point line.
But Kobe's strength is not weaker than him, and he forced him to stop one step outside the three-point line.
Zhu Fangyu had no choice but to make a fake move, shake it a little bit away, and then forcefully attacked.
Kobe quickly reached out to block the block and almost wiped the basketball.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief. If such a defense scored another goal, it would be a bit...
Before everyone could finish thinking, they heard a "swish" sound coming from the venue.
