The main lineups of both sides have returned one after another, and the Lakers continue to have the upper hand in the game. Especially in physical confrontation, the Lakers have obvious advantages.
Kobe's breakthrough attracted the defense to pass the ball to Odom, who relied on Webber to force a layup.
Odom is a troublemaker when he makes mistakes, but he is very versatile when he is normal. The key is that his all-round attributes clearly complement the Lakers' lineup, which is very uncoordinated. It can even be said that the Lakers have no
Odom, many problems will be exposed.
In the next offensive possession, Atkins relied on Odom's screen to get rid of Mike Bibby and hit a three-pointer.
Counting the previous 10:2 performance of the substitute players, the Lakers reached a wave of 15:2 in one breath, surpassing the Kings by 10 points. (48:38)
Adelman immediately asked for a timeout, never dragging his feet. He did not adjust the lineup, but severely scolded the players on the sidelines, and then rearranged the tactics.
Back on the court, the Kings' offense immediately changed. Mobley completed an off-ball pick-and-roll with Brad Miller at the baseline and then cut into the penalty area. He received a through pass from Weber who was on the free throw line and carried Anderson's defense under the basket.
Scored the ball and caused Anderson's foul.
Sometimes Anderson's defense is too active and there will be too many fouls. Some balls should be given up or have to be given up.
Mobriga made a free throw.
Atkins dribbled the ball across half court, and Bibby defended alone.
Anderson screened Kobe without the ball on the left. The latter ran to 70 degrees and received the pass from Atkins. Kobe took the opportunity to the middle, attracted Miller, and passed the ball to the bottom of the left side from the right side.
Odom.
Odom held the ball in front of his neck and changed direction to 45 degrees. He passed the ball to Anderson who was deep under the basket. Anderson had an obvious advantage against Mobley under the basket. He didn't need to turn around and forcefully took off to force the pressure.
Fen Mobley dunked the basketball with one hand and scored.
The Lakers responded very domineeringly. The Kings couldn't guard the Lakers at all, and the pressure was great.
Weber pulled to the three-point line and played a pick-and-roll with Bibby. Odom blocked Bibby, and Atkins chased the ball in place. Bibby kicked the ball, Peja faced Butler, and passed out again when he couldn't break through. Mobu
Li transferred the ball to Weber, who was 45 degrees on the right side, for a single. The players pulled away, and Odom defended hard, pushing Weber away from the basket.
Weber leaned against Odom with his back, turned around in the middle, and did not immediately take off to shoot. Instead, he took the ball with both hands and made a fake shot.
He often uses this move to stun his opponents. Whether he is taking the ball to make physical contact to draw a foul, or taking a step forward to throw, it is a good choice.
Odom's prediction was very accurate this time. Weber cut the ball down with a slap before he even raised it. He poked the ball forward and quickly started the fast break by picking up the basketball.
When there was a fast break opportunity, Kobe reacted quickly. He went to the right side for a fast break, and Odom passed the ball without hesitation.
Kobe caught the ball and took a step to the right. He dribbled the ball behind his right hand and moved his left hand to the left to distance himself from Peja. After a slight pause, he held the ball with his left hand and moved closer with his right hand.
Kobe seemed to be about to stop for a jump shot, and the defender quickly moved over, raising his right hand to interfere with the shot. Unexpectedly, Kobe used the "Buddha" fake move on the street court, hitting the ball with his left hand and changing direction to the right, completely bypassing the defender in one step.
, pulled the ball and scored a layup in three steps, continuing to expand the lead.
The offense couldn't score points, and the defense couldn't limit the Lakers. Mike Bibby was a little impatient. Against Atkins, Bibby had an obvious advantage in physical confrontation. After overcoming Atkins' defense, he hit a mid-range jumper.
As a player who was once selected into the Dream Team (Bibby was included in the Athens Olympics Dream Team, but he quit), Bibby's personal ability is really strong. Especially in the point guard position, his strength advantage is outstanding, and he is given appropriate power.
Some of his isolation shots have done more good than harm to the team.
In the team's dominant game, Kobe started to act wild again. He singled out Mobley, dribbled under his hips continuously and changed directions, and successfully broke through from the right. Weber shrank and teamed up with Brad Miller to double-team Kobe near the penalty area. Kobe failed.
Pass the ball to the most appropriate position and pass it to Butler in the right corner.
Butler took an open three-point shot but failed to hit. Webb blocked the backcourt rebound and protected it.
When the Kings were in position again, they passed the ball to Webb. He received the ball in the low post and turned around in the middle. He jumped up against Anderson and missed the throw with his right hand. After the ball popped up, Brad Miller grabbed the offensive rebound and went forward.
He took a step and hit the ball through Odom.
Ke Yan was very unhappy about losing backcourt rebounds. Especially when the opposite team was facing an interior combination like Webb and Brad Miller who were not good at grabbing offensive rebounds. Odom was completely out of position!
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe attracted the defense and passed the ball to Butler for a single. The latter faced Peja and made a jump shot, dodged the block and missed, and Brad Miller grabbed the rebound.
When the Kings were attacking in a positional battle, Webber caught the ball in the low post on the right side and hit with his back. He is a very comprehensive inside attacker, and his post-up singles skills in the low post are also very good. What is even more outstanding is his passing and completing the turning action.
After attracting Kobe to double-team, he could also send a behind-the-back pass and pass the ball to Mobley. The latter attracted Butler to cover and then passed the ball to Peja in the corner. This time, the Lakers' rotation was exhausted.
, watching the ball go hollow into the net.(50:45)
The 12-point difference was reduced to 5 points left, and Tomjanovich requested a timeout!
"Caron, don't forget what I reminded you. You can have more impact on the offensive end, but the premise is that you have to control Peja's three-pointers. We can't let Peja develop a good touch!" Ke Yan finished.
Butler gritted his teeth and nodded, "Lamar, Chris Webber is the starting point of the Kings' offense. He goes to the free throw line to catch the ball. You must entangle him so that he can't start or cut in!
His current ankle can no longer support his frequent frontal breakthroughs!"
"Bibby's singles are a certain threat, but he can't beat us! Kobe, you have to try more to hit the basket in this game. Mobley and Peja can't do anything to you. I think you have the ability to deal with Bubby.
Radmüller!"
"Okay, that's all I have to say, everyone, come on, we can win this game!"
The timeout ends and the game restarts. There are no personnel changes between the two teams during this timeout.
The Lakers were attacking. Kobe received the ball at half court. Facing Mobley's defense, his body suddenly swayed to the right. His left foot had already taken a lightning-fast step to the right. His body suddenly became short and slanted to the right, holding the ball.
His right hand has already moved the basketball to Mobley's left side.
Mobley shifted his center of gravity completely to the left, stepped sideways with one foot, and immediately moved his hand to the side, preparing to intercept Kobe, who had already thrust his upper body to his left side.
The right half of Kobe's short body suddenly paused as if time had stopped. The ball finally touched the ground. He pulled back with his right hand, and the basketball rolled to his left hand. The left foot he stepped out had already been retracted, and the moment it landed,
Suddenly, his right foot stepped forward to the left with the help of his left foot. His body returned to the normal position and followed almost at the same time, turning sideways to the left.
A beautiful sideways double change. Mobley was shaken and took a few steps back to the left before he regained his balance. He watched Kobe duck past him, rush to the basket, and dunk into Brad Miller! <

The Staples Center immediately erupted into thunderous applause, hysterical cheers, and uncontrollable wild expressions on all faces, forming a noisy and crazy arena.
