Legendary basketball manager

The second quarter began, and the game entered the transition period.

The coaches of both sides have made major adjustments to the lineup.

The Lakers sent: Shannon Brown, Kobe Bryant, Matt Barnes, Luke Walton and Odom.

In terms of absolute talent, this lineup is naturally inferior to the starters.

But the mobility of the five players is good. Wharton and Odom in the fourth and fifth positions are still rare organizational insiders.

The Rockets also sent a small lineup by coincidence.

Curry, Jeremy, George, Tucker, Yi Jianlian-the "five juniors" sent by Mark Jackson are different from the past, and it is another new attempt.

It doesn't have the mobility of the "Ultimate Basketball" lineup, nor the shooting ability of the "Five Shot" lineup. …

But this lineup is balanced offensive and defensive, with diverse styles, and it is also full of highlights!

The game restarted, and the Rockets went first.

Curry pushed the ball across half court and came to the top of the arc to organize an offense. What greeted him was Shannon Brown's defense.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe no longer defended Curry.

After all, the Black Mamba, born in 78, is about to turn 33 years old, and it is impossible to press the whole game like defending Iverson back then.

And the Lakers are now behind by a big score, Kobe is bound to focus most of his energy on the offensive end.

Now Brown, who is defending Curry, is a guard with extremely strong physical fitness.

With a height of 1 meters, he has a terrifying vertical jump height of 93cm (Jordan 113cm).

Brown followed Kobe's defensive style in the first quarter, frequently exerting physical confrontation on Curry.

But Curry, who has been baptized by Mamba, has already undergone a slight transformation.

I saw him dribbled the ball behind his back, passed Brown cleanly, and then raised his hand to score a three-pointer...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

At 43:25, the Rockets continued to expand their lead.

After scoring the goal, Curry shook his head arrogantly.

Brown looked annoyed.

"Go on, just defend like this."

Kobe passed by and patted the little brother on the back.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Brown dribbles across half court and passes the ball up to Luke Walton, who sets up the play.

Kobe changed his strategy of asking for the ball in the low post in the first quarter, and pulled directly outside the three-point line, looking for opportunities to catch the ball.

Small changes can bring good results.

George, who is good at blocking passing routes, does not dare to go around blindly in this position.

Otherwise, an inward cut by Kobe may tear the Rockets' entire defense line apart.

Therefore, George had to honestly defend in front of Kobe.

After some running, Walton passed a ground pass and successfully handed the ball to Kobe.

After getting the ball, the Black Mamba assumes a standard three-threat pose.

George lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands, and concentrated on preparing for the challenge.

Bryant briefly glanced at the Rockets' defensive layout, then launched an offense.

After taking two tentative steps, he drew the ball in a U shape in front of him and raised his hand to shoot.

It is worth mentioning that Kobe's movements are exactly the same as his usual dry shooting posture.

When there is no difference between fake moves and real moves, even the best defenders may be deceived!

George accidentally fell into the trap and was tricked into jumping.

With a successful plan, Kobe took advantage of the trend to cross and step down the ball to break through.

Tucker reacted quickly and immediately retracted the inside line, ready to protect the basket.

But after Kobe took one step, he stopped and shot a jumper in the middle distance.

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

43:27, this ball can be called hemostasis.

On the next possession, Bryant received another pass in the same spot.

The same tentative step, the same raising hand to shoot... The difference is that this time the Black Mamba chose to shoot directly.

George was confused by Kobe's actions and didn't react immediately.

The basketball flew to the basket rubbing the pickled pepper's fingertips...

The ball had a flat arc and bounced a few times around the rim, but it ended up in the net.

43: 30!

Kobe scored 5 points in a row!

Easy side to fight again, the Rockets quickly responded.

Ah Lian received Curry in the right corner, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

46: 30.

The Lakers attack.

Walton handed the ball to Bryant and set the pick-and-roll for the latter.

In the staggered time, Kobe made a sideways move and made a floating jumper...

Come on!

46: 33.

"woo..."

Even the Rockets fans at the scene couldn't help but marvel at this difficult goal.

The two commentators of CCTV were also quite excited.

"Hey~ Kobe is in offensive mode!"

"The game is interesting~"

Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

"Kobe's posture... feels like he scored 21 points in a row against the Celtics in the Finals!"

Yang Jian sighed.

............

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson frowned slightly.

At present, the team is still leading by a large score, but Kobe has scored 8 points in a row, which makes him feel a little uneasy.

[Should I call a timeout, or put Tony Allen on him...]

Mark Jackson thought to himself.

Just as he hesitated, the Lakers completed a wonderful defense.

It turned out that George, who was beaten in a row, was dissatisfied.

Coming to the offensive end, he singles Kobe at a 45-degree angle on the right.

After successfully getting rid of Kobe's post defense in a crossover, George accelerated to the basket.

However, just when Pickled Pepper kicked his feet on the ground, ready to show off his talents...

Kobe took off one step ahead of him, blocked George's dunk with a left hand, and killed George's dunk in the cradle!

Black Mamba's experience and calmness on the defensive end are fully revealed at this moment!

Odom reacted quickly, protected the rebound for the first time, and used a long pass to find the "steal" Shannon Brown.

At this time, the Rockets' last line of defense turned out to be Yi Jianlian who was ambushing outside the three-point line!

Ah Lian ran at full speed and rushed towards Brown.

As a rare talent monster among the yellow race, Yi Di lacks coordination, but his absolute speed is very good.

I saw him take a step with long legs, three steps and two steps, and he really rushed back to the basket before Brown.

The next moment, the two took off at the same time...

Brown went directly from the first floor to the second floor as if he had taken an elevator.

Although Ah Lian's bounce is not as good as him, it is also very good.At the top, the top of his head is also almost parallel to the hoop.

Brown jumped higher, but Ah Lian was tall and long.

For a moment, the two of them were in the air like a pair of dragons grabbing the pearl!

Many fans at the scene were so frightened that they stood up, held their breath, and waited for the result to happen.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Lian firmly protected the top of the basket with one hand, and finally successfully touched the basketball!

Brown did not give up, but stepped up his efforts, trying to force the ball in.

Fortunately, Ah Lian had an idea and tried to flick the ball to the side, causing Brown's dunk to hit the basket.

"duang!"

Due to the great strength of Brown's dunk, the ball hit the basket and bounced directly near the three-point line.

At this time, the number 30 of the Rockets and the number 24 of the Lakers appeared on the screen at the same time, and they rushed to the basketball together!
