Pierce Payton returned to the court, and the Celtics' offense improved immediately.Continue to use the pick-and-roll to attack Anderson again. After the screen, Pierce attracts a switch pass. LaFrentz catches the ball and makes an outside shot. Under the interference of Butler, Anderson grabs the rebound and the Celtics return to defense immediately. , Do not give the Lakers a chance to switch offense and defense.

Kobe took the ball on the right and played a pick-and-roll with Anderson, Ricky Davis chased and double-teamed LaFrentz, and Anderson was emptied.

Kobe didn't pass the first pass, and the timing of the pass and run was not at the same point as Anderson's cut, so he could only turn around to the baseline. Payton also retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area, and the three surrounded Kobe's pass.

Terry Brown in the left corner got an open three-pointer, but unfortunately he failed to seize the opportunity. The shot missed and the rebound was taken by Walker.

Failure to make an open three-pointer is the last thing Ke Yan wants to see. From the body language of his body leaning back, it can be seen that he is a little dissatisfied with the offense of this ball.This is why he is eager to reinforce the team's point guard and small forward positions. Terry Brown and Luke Walton really don't meet his needs.

Payton dribbled the ball across the half court and passed it to Walker who was outside the three-point line on the left. Dom passed the ball from close range.

After receiving the ball, Pierce took a step forward and Anderson, who changed the defense and took a half-beat, opened up the space for one man, stopped for a jump shot, and made a perfect shot.

The Lakers attacked, and Payton put Terry Brown two steps away from the bottom line, ready to double-team Kobe within the three-point line at any time.

Odom mentioned going up the line to do a pick-and-roll. Kobe broke through to the penalty area and was once again besieged. He passed it to Odom who was pulled to the outside line. The latter missed a shot from the outside line and Walker got the rebound again.

Under Ke Yan's request, Odom increased the frequency of his outside shots, and he does have the ability to shoot outside, with a hit rate of 33.4%, which is considered qualified by the standards of space-type insiders in this era, but it is not stable. Sometimes Twitch can throw the ball in against someone, and it is common to fail to make an open shot.

The Celtics attacked, and Payton handed the ball to Pierce for a single. The latter's beautiful three-threat once again deflated Butler, who was shaken up and made a foul.

Pierce made two free throws, and the point difference was narrowed to 7 points.Tomjanovich decisively called a timeout, and Ke Yan took the tactical board and walked among the players to adjust the team's offensive tactics.

The Celtics have a weakness in interior defense, so in order to protect the interior, they focused on strangling the Lakers' breakthrough and singles players Kobe and Butler in the free throw line area.The task is simple, so the shortcomings of Ricky Davis and Walker on the defensive end are instead covered up.

Atkins replaced Terry, ran from the weak side corner to the strong side corner, contained Payton as much as possible, and pressed him to death in the bottom corner. For cooperation, the focus is on Odom. You can fake "hands-on" and turn around and cut inside, or you can cut in after Walker is attracted by Kobe to form a two-on-one inside.

Ke Yan scratched around on the tactical board, designing the players' running positions and operations, and Tomjanovich taught the players face-to-face. This scene was recorded by the photographer on the sidelines.In the league, there are also a few head coaches who have delegated such authority to assistants in public.

Back on the court, the Lakers attacked, Butler caught the ball in the frontcourt, changed direction and went to the right to pass Walker, and made a sudden stop at a high position.

Pierce chased up from the side, but Butler missed the shot, jumped up and passed the ball lightly to Odom, who was cut on the left, and the latter strode into the basket, attracting LaFrentz to defend and not to shoot , and handed the ball to Anderson, who rose into the air and completed dunks.

In the defense just now, Walker was obviously distracted and was passed by Butler in one step. This is also an old problem of his defense.

The Celtics attacked, and the formation was also stretched. Payton passed the ball to Walker and ran to the bottom corner. Walker passed to Pierce on the right. Turning around in the middle and jumping back, he relied on jumping back to widen the distance between him and Butler. Pierce's singles skills are very skilled, but he missed the shot. Odom protected the rebound and sent a long pass at the first time , Kobe turned around after receiving the ball and passed Pierce, and was directly fouled by the opponent. This was the Celtics' fourth foul in the second quarter.

The Lakers served from the sideline, and Kobe used a reverse run to get rid of Ricky Davis, went to the basket and dunked LaFrentz, causing a foul by the opponent.

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers once again opened the score to double digits. At the same time, because the number of fouls had reached five times, the Celtics' defensive actions at the end of the second quarter were somewhat restrained compared with the point chasing period. The Lakers played more and more smoothly. Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom frequently attacked the weak inside line of the Celtics, widening the gap between the two teams. At halftime, the Lakers entered the locker room with a 61:45 lead.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers launched a blitzkrieg, and they played a 7-0 attack wave when they came up. They opened the point difference to 23 points in one go, forcing Rivers to call a timeout to adjust the game strategy.

After returning from the timeout, the Celtics regained some sense of offense and scored two consecutive offenses, narrowing the point difference to 18 points.But then, the Lakers suddenly launched a full-court press. Kobe completed a steal from Payton, sent the ball to the basket in front of the opponent and caused Payton to foul, scoring 2+1. The momentum that the Walters had just risen was suppressed.

The next two consecutive attacks failed, and there was no hope of victory.The Celtics fell into chaos internally, a group of data brushers began to return to their nature, Antoine Walker began to shoot wild swords on the outside, Ricky Davis switched to the identity of "Brother James", and only attacked his own basket to brush three Double up.

At the end of the game, Davis and Walker's personal data reached the average level of the season. It is hard to say that the sales volume is still alive, but the team lost miserably.At the end of the game, the Lakers beat the Celtics by 116 points 79 to 37.

Kobe continued to play steadily in this game. He made 26 of 13 shots, 4 of 1 three-pointers, and 10 of 9 free throws. He scored 36 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. The data is good.Facts have proved that Kobe's offensive efficiency can be higher by playing more pick-and-rolls. I don't know if this game has moved him.

In addition to Kobe, Butler, Odom, and Atkins all scored 15+ data, and Anderson also scored the first double-double data of his career. As a bottom player in the league, Anderson joined the Lakers The subsequent entry is like a dream, keep it up, and at least get a middle-class contract next season!

A fiasco was ushered in when the team's strength was slightly superior. At the press conference, Rivers and Pierce were black-faced all the way, and they were unwilling to say a word.

On the other hand, the Lakers adjusted their tricks in a timely manner, and Ke Yan, who seized the Celtics' weaknesses and stormed to help the team win, also participated in the post-match press conference: "The yellow-green battle has special meaning to the fans of the two teams. Winning one game will inspire us to be in better shape for the next game."

Helping the team win an important game, Lakers fans see Ke Yan more pleasing to the eye~
