I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 83 Sacramento...Queens
The Kings attack.

Divac directly mentioned the free throw line position to support, which is also the core of Princeton's system.

The big man pulls out to hold the ball, and the rest of the players keep passing and cutting.

All five players must be able to pass, shoot, and move.

This tactic sounds common in the small ball era, but it was indeed a very advanced concept at the beginning of the century.

In the next 20 years, in fact, all team tactics have the shadow of the Princeton system, and everyone is learning from him.

Peja was entangled with Liu He at a 45-degree angle.

He suddenly pushed Liu He hard, and then cut towards the basket.

Divac stood at the free throw line, relying on his height of 216cm, he had a panoramic view of the whole court.

He discovered Peja's movements immediately and passed the ball in time.

O'Neal was brought out by Divac, and the Lakers' basket was very open.

As long as Peja catches the ball, he can easily layup in two steps.

But the moment Peja received the ball, Liu He entangled him again.

Peja's complexion remained unchanged, and he squeezed in directly relying on his height of 208cm.

In the past, Peja had an absolute physical advantage in the third position. The general three position could not bear the impact of Peja at all. Peja would either drive the defender for a layup or shoot directly on the opponent.

This trick is tried and tested.

But tonight, Peja didn't move Liu He at all.

Liu He's current strength is 85, and he can even fight Garnett in the low post, so he won't suffer against Peja.

As for shooting above Liu He's head...Liu He's height of 204cm does not allow it.

You are tall and I am not short.

Peja suddenly found that his two scoring methods after the air cut were invalid.

After hesitating for a moment, Peja forced a jump shot and missed the shot under Liu He's fierce physical confrontation.

Liu He turned around, put his butt against Peja, and then easily picked up a rebound.

"Mr. Peja, why didn't you make the shot again! No way! No way! You can't beat me, right?"

Peja's complexion turned extremely ugly for a moment.

Intellectually, Peja can understand his problem tonight.

He is invincible in the third position, relying on his absolute physical advantage, with a height of 208cm and a weight of 103kg, few people can match his physical condition.

Those who can keep up with him are not as tall as him, and those who are taller than him can't keep up with him, so he hits everyone in the wrong place.

But Liu He, who is facing him tonight, happens to be this type of player, and his physical condition is infinitely close to that of Peja, so Peja's advantage is naturally infinitely reduced.

As expected, NBA scouts still have some skills. Peja is indeed Liu He's template, and the two are too similar.

NBA scouts are really rubbish. Judging from the effect of tonight's matchup, how can Peja be the upper limit of Liu He's template?It's just a lower limit.

Of course, intellectually so...

But now, Peja is irrational!

The boss of a championship team, a veteran who has been playing around in the NBA for 8 years, was blown away by a rookie, how can you tell him to be rational?

Liu He took the rebound, then launched a fast break, and suddenly accelerated to force Peja in the frontcourt.

Peja didn't react and let Liu He step over.

Belatedly, Peja subconsciously reached out to pull Liu He.

Beep!
The referee's whistle instantly woke up Peja, and he let go again.

On the Kings bench, Coach Adelman covered his face speechlessly.

Peja, you are a high-IQ player who relies on golf quotient to play, how can you make such a low-level mistake?

Either you don’t foul, or you have to be vicious enough if you want to foul...

You have made a foul like this, and you are hesitating again, it is a big taboo!

Sure enough, Liu He threw the ball into the basket and successfully hit a three-pointer.

2+1.

Liu He walked to the free throw line and steadily hit the 1 point sent by Peja.

9: 0.

"Mr. Peja, thank you for sending the points!"

Peja: "..."

He was really going to explode, and the remaining rationality told him to calm down.

Sangueira was still fanning the flames: "Rookie, don't be arrogant, Peja will blow you up in no time!"

Peja finally exploded: "Rookie, shut up! You idiot!"

Sangueira: "See, Peja scolded you...Peja, I..."

Sangueira was about to scream, but found that Peja was scolding himself, and he was directly stunned.

While running, Liu He shook his head: "Lick the dog, lick the dog, until there is nothing left."

The Kings attack.

Bibby beat Payton and made an emergency stop for a jumper from the mid-range position.

Swish!
9: 2.

At the critical moment, it has to be Mike Bibby.

Looking back, O'Neal continued to overwhelm the inside.

11: 2.

But soon, Bibby made a very positive three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Swish!
11: 5.

Bibby scored 5 points, relieved for the Kings.

However, in the face of Bibby, the hero, Peja was not happy, but unhappy.

I play so badly, but you play so well, what do you mean?
This year, the conflicts within the Kings have become very serious.

Divac and fellow Peja and Sangueira teamed up, and Bibby was naturally on the side of American teammate Webber, and the fight between the two sides was in full swing.

A mighty empire crumbles from within.

This is the case with the Lakers, and so is the Kings... The eldest brother does not say the second brother.

Lakers offense.

Kobe made a mid-range attack and made a shot against Christie.

13: 5.

The Kings attack.

Peja started to ask for the ball, and forced Liu He to make a shot, but failed to score.

The Lakers immediately launched a wave of defensive counterattacks.

Kobe hit the frontcourt one-stop and made a layup against Bibby.

15: 5.

The game has just begun, and the Kings have already lost by 10 points.

Coach Adelman called a second timeout.

He knew that this magnificent Kings team had come to the end of the journey and could fall apart at any time, but he had no ability to change.

Webber has been reimbursed for several consecutive seasons, which has proved to be useless.

Adelman tried to lift Peja ... to continue the life of the team.

Peja's performance this season did not disappoint Adelman's trust, becoming the king's first scorer, the performance after the All-Star Weekend was even more explosive, leading the Kings to an excellent record.

After returning from the timeout, Peja continued to take shots against Liu He, and finally scored a goal, saving his dignity.

15: 7.

However, on the defensive end, Liu He continued to ambush the bottom corner, suddenly started, passed Peja at once, cut into the paint, and made a shot after receiving a pass from O'Neal.

17: 7.

Adelman shook his head. Peja couldn't even play any advantage in front of a rookie, but was passive everywhere.

The Kings attack.

Peja continued to hit a three-pointer against Liu He.

Swish!
17: 10.

Peja clenched his fists excitedly, he felt himself back.

Liu He was a little helpless, he defended very well, there was no problem, Peja just made the shot, there was no way around it.

But soon, Liu He and Gary Payton made a hand-to-hand pass, and Liu He pulled up and shot.

Swish!
20: 10.

If you can enter, so can I!
Peja's defense is really bad!His height of 208cm is destined to be slow when he plays the third position, and the faster opponents cannot keep up.

And Liu He's speed reached 81, not weaker than most small forwards.

Looking back, Peja continued to shoot against Liu He, and finally missed the shot.

And Liu He got rid of Peja again, and shot up after receiving a pass from his teammate.

Swish!
23: 10!

You can't get in, but I can still get in!

In the confrontation with Peja, Liu He has more and more advantages.

The Kings attack.

Peja continued to ask for the ball, and shot against Liu He again, but still nothing.

It seems that his outburst was just a flash in the pan, and diarrhea is the norm.

Before you know it, the first half is over.

55: 41.

The Lakers led by 14 points.

Peja made 13 of 3 shots in the first half and scored 7 points.

And Liu He made 9 of 6 shots and scored 16 points.

Liu He completely crushed Peja.

It's the second half.

Peja still wants the ball, but Bibby just ignores him.

If Peja can have the performance of the previous few games, Bibby can't refuse the pass.But tonight, hehehe...

Facing Payton, Bibby pulled up directly from the middle distance.

Swish!
55: 43.

Bibby felt good tonight, or Payton is now facing this kind of first-class point guard who is at his peak, and his suppression is getting weaker.

However, the strength of the Kings is not as good as the Lakers after all, and they still have to fight among themselves...

Gradually, the Lakers' point difference widened again.

Halfway through the third quarter, 74:58.

The Lakers have led by 16 points.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

When Kobe broke through, a whistle suddenly sounded in his ear.

O'Neal was called for an off-ball foul.

The referee felt that O'Neal moved too much when he was stuck with Divac.

O'Neal immediately protested, saying that it was Divac who had been making small moves, and he counterattacked, and then argued with the referee.

How could the referee get used to O'Neill, and gradually became impatient.

Seeing that something was wrong, Liu He hurried forward to pull O'Neill away.

The game restarts.

But only tens of seconds later, the referee's whistle sounded again.

Beep!
Another O'Neill foul.

I saw Divac lying on the floor, looking at O'Neill innocently, looking like he was being bullied.

O'Neill raised his hands and tried to defend: "I just touched him lightly, and he flew out. Before that, he had pinched me countless times!"

But the referee will not change his judgment.

A foul is a foul!

In this way, with half of the time left in the third quarter, O'Neal had already committed 5 fouls, and he could only sit back on the bench when he was deeply troubled by fouls.

Liu He shook his head, O'Neal is not afraid of Mourning and Mutombo's tough big centers.The more they resisted, the more excited O'Neill was.

On the contrary, O'Neill is afraid of the actor like Divac.If you play hard with him, he directly fouls you.You ignored him, and he kept harassing you with small gestures.It's really annoying.

But in the final analysis, O'Neill is too "weak".

O'Neill is different from most black players. He grew up in a police family with good conditions and received education since he was a child. He is a good boy.

So don't look at him as scary, but his combat effectiveness is not strong.

Look, if it was Mourning, Larry Johnson, Ewing, PJ Brown, Malone and other villains, would Divac dare to make small moves?

As long as Divac dared to harbor evil intentions, these people would directly punch and beat them to death.

As for O'Neill, he pushed and shoved a few times at most, and looked scary, but in fact there was no threat.

So is Kobe.

The original family conditions are good, and their "combat power" is doomed to be weak.

These two guys suffer as long as they fight.

Because of this, both of them had people who dared to provoke them throughout their careers.

The NBA is like that.

Human beings are bullied by others, and Ma Shan is being ridden by others!
Liu He shook his head again: There must be a villain in a championship team to calm down the evil guy in the opponent's heart.

Without Ma Long, this role is his.

Ma De, it's just playing ball, but also being a father and a mother for the "OK Group", is it easy for me?

Liu He cursed in his heart, but his eyes began to sharpen.

In Dallas, Josh Howard in front of the TV trembled when he saw Liu He's eyes.

The devil is coming!

Watch out, Kings, don't let the devil catch you.

The game continued, Phil used Horace Grant to top the five position, and fought against Divac.

Liu He mainly stared at Divac to see if this guy dared to do something.

However, Divac is also a smart person. He "cleaned up" O'Neal just now, and now he took the initiative to restrain himself, not giving the referee a chance to level off.

Moreover, the veteran Grant has rich experience, but he is not easy to handle.

The most important thing is that he can play normally against Grant, and he doesn't need to use those methods at all.

The game restarts.

Divac first pulled to the free throw line to hold the ball, feinted a pass, and then directly broke through Grant, using Grant's old footsteps to attack successfully.

74: 60.

Immediately, Divac grabbed an offensive rebound on Grant's head, and the second offense succeeded.

74: 62.

The point difference narrowed to 12 points.

Kobe succeeded in the middle distance and stabilized the situation for the Lakers.

76: 62.

But soon, Divac attacked Grant again, not only scoring, but also causing Grant to foul.

2+1 was played.

76: 65.

Divac scored 7 points in a row and directly beat the old Grant.

When O'Neal was around, Divac was a younger brother.

But when O'Neal was away, Divac became O'Neal and called Grant a younger brother.

The point difference narrowed to 11 points.

The Kings also showed momentum and began to chase points frantically.

The third quarter ends.

79: 74.

The Kings are only 5 points behind.

At the end of the break, the bitch Sangueira started to provoke again.

"Student, I heard that you will practice three-pointers on the night of losing. This is a good habit! Do you need advice from the senior?"

Liu He just glanced at Sangaila:

"Which dog doesn't stay on a leash when going out? Barking in public is illegal!"

Sangaila became furious and was about to rush towards Liu He.

Divac grabbed Sangueira: "Don't get excited, he's trying to provoke you on purpose!"

Liu He turned his head and glanced at Divac, he was indeed a smart man, not easy to deal with.

Liu He didn't mind either, and greeted Divac with a smile: "Verati, it's your dog. Remember to keep the dog on a leash when you go out for a walk. We are all qualified people!"

Divac hugged Songela, who was getting excited again: "Rookie, swearing won't make your Lakers reverse the situation."

Liu He replied: "But flopping made your Sacramento Queens reverse the situation, didn't it?"

Divac: "..."

Sacramento...Queens!

Queens!
They were clearly the Kings, but Liu He called them the Queens.

What does Liu He mean?
Obviously, Liu He's implication is... your Kings are a bunch of girls!
He has no strength, so he can only play by means of flopping, which can't get on the table.

Even the smart Divac was so stimulated by Liu He's words that he almost couldn't help but make a move.

Divac jumped in his heart: This rookie is too good!

The strength of playing is not weaker than Peja, and the level of trash talk almost irritated himself.

It is really not to be underestimated!
So Divac stopped bickering with Liu He, turned around and left, and told Sangaila: "Don't provoke that guy again, you are not his opponent!"

Sangaila nodded brightly, but was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

"Why? He's just lucky. If it were me, who could play in Los Angeles, have teammates like F4, and have a head coach like Phil, I wouldn't be worse than him."

Look, there are always people who feel that their inability to type is not their own problem, but someone else's problem.

On Liu He's side, he also felt Divac's difficulties.

I still want to continue to output, but this guy doesn't give me a chance.
