170 Off the Ball Competition
The game continues, the Lakers attack, Li Zhe dribbles the ball and advances,
Considering that Crawford was interested in targeting him, his idea of continuing to fight one-on-one flashed through, and he crossed the center line and raised his hand to signal the triangle position.
Seeing his gesture, Mbenga ran to the right elbow area, Ate stood on the right wing, Omdo stood on the left waist, and Kobe stood on the left wing.
After rushing to the 40-degree 5-3-point line on the right, Li Zhe looked left, then passed the ball to Ate, and then used Mbenga to cover the screen and cut inside.
About half a second later, Kobe accelerated and rushed to the top of the arc. At the same time, Li Zhe stopped and ran back, and also rushed to the top of the arc.
The two met, and Li Zhe put on a wall to cover the two sides, and the position and angle just blocked Devin Brown and Paul.
Kobe easily received the pass from Atei, jumped on the side to the ring, and made a two-stage shot.
Swish! The three-pointer hollowed into the net, and the Lakers led 7.
The Hornets attacked, Paul dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and used Okafor's cover to break into the inside.
Without waiting for Li Zhe to catch up, he rushed towards Mbenga and shot backward.
When! Shooting iron.
The basketball rebounded and flew to the sideline. Odom grabbed it. Seeing that Paul was interested in scrambling, he simply led it to the frontcourt.
He rushed to the left wing, changed hands and stopped and changed direction under his crotch, easily swaying past West and jumped into the inside line.
Devin stepped forward to make up for defense and prevented interception, the basketball flew to the left sideline, and Kobe caught the ball and pulled it out.
When! Breaking the frame and rebounding, Okafor got the rebound.
Paul received the ball and advanced rapidly, crossed the center line to slow down and control the ball, and gestured repeatedly to indicate his teammates to run.
The Hornets ran out of the outside and inside formation, and Paul immediately gave the ball to Okafor. At the same time, Devin Brown started from the left wing and rushed to the left elbow area. He used West and Julian to position it, and got rid of Kobe and ran to the basket.
Okafor passed the ball with a high hanging ball, Devin Brown took the ball and started a three-step layup, and Odom, who replaced the defense, followed closely behind.
Bang! The basketball rebounded and failed to fall into the Nets.
Odom jumped gently to catch the rebound, and saw that Li Zhe had retreated to the center line, and led him to the frontcourt.
Li Zhe stepped back while observing his teammates' running position.
Kobe was sprinting along the left sideline, but Devin Brown failed to return to defense in time because he rushed to the basket. The defender turned into Julian, and West followed Artai, and two groups of misaligned duels occurred at the same time.
As the top point guard, Paul also discovered this situation and shouted loudly to get around.
But Li Zhe attacked in advance and blocked Paul's way.
Seeing him like this, Kobe and Ate reacted instantly and blocked Julian and West.
In this way, Odom accelerated and threw away Okafor, drove straight into the middle, and scored with one-handed dunk.
The Lakers lead 9 and it's easy, as if they are playing in the team.
The Hornets attacked, Paul dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and his fingers were to cover the side of the floor.
Seeing this, West was strong and strong. Li Zhe flew around and chased, but he had already left a position.
Fortunately, Odom raised his hands and stayed at the free throw line as he asked before, and Paul did not dare to jump and shoot in the mid-range shot.
Li Zhe chased Paul again, and the basketball flew into West's hands.
Devin Brown rushed up and took over the pass, and strode towards the left wing, Julian ran forward.
Atai quickly retreated and left room for Kobe to catch up, but Devin Brown swung his hips and cut inward, rushed to the free throw line and closed the ball. He jumped high against Odom to make up for defense, and threw it like a throwing hand burning the sky.
Bang bang bang, the basketball rebounded many times in the circle and finally fell into the Nets.
The Lakers attacked, and the four-man continued to sit in the triangle.
Li Zhe rushed to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Ate, and then used Mbenga to cover the screen to cut inside. Paul chased and shouted to defend himself.
Li Zhe circled the bottom line and came to the low post on the left. He used Odom to rush to Kobe's side. He stood up to set up a wall to block Devin Brown, and Kobe immediately ran to the bottom line.
At the same time, Mbenga turned around and raised his hands high to observe his teammates' running position.
West was too slow to catch up with Kobe, and Paul was forced to switch to intercept.
Unguarded Odom ran to the basket with a smile, and received the pass from Mbenga and easily put it into the Nets.
"I understand. The Lakers' three scorings are the same as when they played against the Grizzlies the day before yesterday. Jamie made a lot of open spaces for his teammates through various running positions, and the Hornets' defense is as fragile as paper."
"It is also very important for Kobe to be present. The two have a deep understanding of tactics. Just one look can make the other party understand their intentions. In addition, the two are good at various scoring methods. The Hornets must switch defenses, and then loopholes appear."
The Hornets attacked, and Paul used West's cover at the top of the arc to rush into the inside from the right.
Odom still stayed at the free throw line and waited, but Devin Brown used Okafor to get rid of Kobe, rushed to the basket from the left corner, received a pass from Paul, and started a three-step layup with Mbenga.
Odom's attention was attracted and he ignored West's existence, and Li Zhe quickly spoke out to remind him.
But it was too late, and West, who followed up, took off the ball and jumped without anyone defending him.
Then I thought that Kobe jumped up from the side and forced himself to interfere with this action.
Bang! The basketball trajectory deflected and bumped into the rebound and fell, just in time to Omdo's hands.
Paul whispered an indescribable word, and then loudly reminded the whole team to retreat.
Li Zhe didn't care about that and ran straight to the frontcourt, as excited as a primary school student going to an Internet cafe to grab a camera after school.
Paul could only chase after him, and Odom dribbled in the backcourt without any threat.
In a blink of an eye, under the organization of Li Zhe, Odom stood at the top of the arc and waited. Mbenga stood in the middle of the free throw line, and Kobe and Ate were separated from the bottom corners on the left and right sides, while Li Zhe himself stood on the right side and pulled the basket, and the Lakers team's 11 formation was placed.
Seeing that all his teammates were in place, Li Zhe started and ran to the top of the arc.
Passing by the free throw line, he suddenly took advantage of Mbenga's cover and ran to the left half.
Meanwhile, Kobe started from the left corner.
The two made no-ball cross cover in the short corner, Li Zhe ran to the left sideline, and Kobe ran to the basket.
Odom made a decisive pass, Kobe received the ball and held Paul with his back, jumped on the spot and hit the board with his backhand.
Bang! Bounce back and enter the net.
The Lakers led 1-5, and fans cheered.
The Hornets attacked, Paul dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, used Okafor's cover to rush to the free throw line, ignored Li Zhe's pursuit and stopped to shoot in the middle.
When! smashed the basket and hit the iron, West grabbed the offensive rebound.
Omdo raised his hands high to block the shooting space, but Paul stepped forward and took it into his hand, circled along the bottom line to the left side line, stopped and bent down, and continued to change hands under his crotch, clearly trying to fight Li Zhe alone.
The fans at the scene booed, and Joe Crawford rushed to the two of them to observe closely.
After a while, the attack time was only 6 seconds left.
Paul suddenly lowered his center of gravity, dribbling into the inside line as if he was forming a 45-degree angle with the floor.
The speed was too fast, and Li Zhe did not dare to lower the center of gravity to intercept it, so he could only raise his right hand and follow along.
But Paul rushed to the three-second zone, collected the ball without warning, and flew to the ring like Griffin.
With a clang, one-handed buckle, the fans on the scene stopped booing!
Li Zhe applauded and finally realized the power of Paul at the peak.
Turning around the Lakers' attack, Li Zhe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, waved his hand and refused Odom's cover to help. He changed backwards with one hand and closed the ball and took a big step forward, facing Paul's block and forced a three-pointer.
Bang! The basketball rebounds into the net.
The Lakers lead 15-7, and Byron Scott requests a timeout.
"After the two top point guards competed without the ball, they began to attack independently one after another. Who do you think is better before?"
"It's hard to say... Actually, in my opinion, Jamie's off-ball organization is not as good as Paul, but Jamie's backcourt partner is Kobe Bryant, while Paul's backcourt partner is Devin Brown. Jamie won a complete victory between one positive and one loss."
Chapter completed!
