Compared with the unfavorable score, what Ke Yan doesn't want to see is the players messing around on the court. In the next round of offense, Kobe made Ke Yan's worries become reality. He faced Ray Allen in the middle and suddenly pulled a jumper. , he avoided the block and the ball bounced out of the frame.

This attack was too simple, and Ke Yan's expression on the sidelines was not very good. Seeing that Hamblen hadn't responded yet, he moved over to speak out, reminding him to call a timeout later.

Lewis grabbed the rebound, asked for a push directly, held the ball for a fast break, and successfully changed direction while running. Atkins fouled someone in front of the three-point line.

Taking advantage of this dead ball, the Lakers called a timeout, and Ke Yan, who hadn't spoken harshly in the game for a long time, turned on the hair dryer mode.

"This game is the first game Frank and I have directed after Tang Shuai fell ill. I don't want to say how important this game is. After all, no matter how important it is, no matter how important it is, it is also for me personally... However, I still want to say that this game is very important to the Lakers! We have the same record as the Sonics and the Mavericks. If we win this game, we will be at least the top four teams in the Western Conference! It's a card battle, we can't afford to lose!"

"Rudy is sick, and everyone outside is watching the jokes of the Lakers. They all think the Lakers are finished! But I don't think so. I think it depends on human effort. We can do it for the fans, for Rudy. We can also earn respect for ourselves!"

"I came to the United States, the Lakers, not to lose. I believe that each of you is not, because in this world, no one is willing to be born as a loser. Everyone wants to win, so we have to fight. Do our best, because without hard work, there will be no gains; we must fight for every inch of land on the court, and every opportunity to control the ball on the court, because we firmly believe that every inch of land, every chance, Could change the game!"

"Now, guys, this is the moment! Go out bravely and turn this boiling Staples Center into our paradise and our opponent's hell!"

The opening was unfavorable. It was not so much a problem with the team's tactical arrangement. It was better to say that the players' mentality was completely messed up. Therefore, during the timeout just now, Ke Yan did not adjust the team's tactics, but simmered a pot of chicken soup impassionedly.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe singled out Ray Allen, turned around and hit a fadeaway jumper, 9 to 5.

The Supersonics repeated their tricks. Ray Allen and Lewis played an off-ball pick-and-roll. Kobe and Butler switched defenses in time. Lewis' catch-and-shoot jumper was almost blocked by Kobe who switched defenses.

The Lakers attacked, Butler hit the basket again, causing Jerome James to foul for the second time!

Ke Yan clenches his fist secretly on the sidelines. This foul is very important. Jerome James is the only reliable defender in the Supersonics. Besides him, the other two insiders of the Supersonics, Wilcox is a defensive awareness The not so outstanding jumper inside, except for the pick-and-roll attack is slightly stronger, the others are not even as good as Anderson before joining the Lakers. Collison's basic skills are still solid, but the physical confrontation is weak. Four players like the Supersonic Standing on the perimeter lineup, Collison alone cannot support the restricted area.

Although Butler missed the first free throw, but seeing McMillan replace Jerome James with Wilcox, Ke Yan still felt that this attack was worth it.

Sure enough, the end of Jerome James has an impact on the Sonics' performance on both offense and defense.In the Sonics' offensive system, the pick-and-roll at the center position is very important.The team has four cannons on the outside, and the center pulls out the pick-and-roll, which is equivalent to dispatching all the opponent's defensive forces, leaving the opponent's inside empty.And once the pick-and-roll timing provided by the center is not good and the quality is not high, the Lakers, Kobe, Odom, and Butler's athletic ability can switch defenses in time to fill positions, and the Sonics' offense immediately becomes sluggish.

Counting Barnes on the bench, the Lakers' forward strength is pretty good now, which is one of the reasons for the team's good record.

Conversely, on the defensive end, Anderson has problems on the defensive end, Wilcox is not lacking, Radmanovich can provide him with less help than Odom, and the Supersonics are being chased by Kobe and Butler inside. After playing, Ke Yan turned into Tyronn Lue and directly commanded the players "My tactic is to give the ball to the strongest one!", helping the Lakers to establish a 28-point lead at 21:7 to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, the Sonics launched a counterattack under the leadership of the sixth man Daniels. They scored 5 points in a row at the beginning, narrowing the point difference to only 1 point.The team's weak bench lineup also made Ke Yan a headache, so he had to replace Atkins and Butler to stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, the Sonics' bench lineup is not very strong, and the Lakers can still control the situation.When the official timeout was entered, the Lakers led by 36 points 33 to 3.

Returning from the timeout, the main lineup of the Lakers returned to the court, relying on Kobe's personal ability to lead the Lakers to open the score again. At halftime, the Lakers ended with an 51-point lead at 43:8.

In the third quarter of the game, both sides felt bad, and their offensive efficiency declined.The Supersonics itself, a team that relies on outside shooting, feels bad on the offensive end and is prone to power outages. Even the later ultimate warriors sometimes fall into a scoring drought for a period of time. On the Lakers side, Kobe Bryant Sometimes when it gets tough, the way the audience appreciates the game relies more on their ears.

The Lakers, known for their offense, only scored 16 points in a single quarter, but in turn, their tenacious defense allowed the Sonics to score only 17 points. The difference between the two sides was still 7 points, and the outcome was also tied in the fourth quarter.

In the final quarter, the two sides must compete for every ball, and the defensive actions are getting bigger and bigger, full of gunpowder.Hamblen kept discussing with Keyan on the sidelines, constantly adjusting tactics.The Sonics used a full-court press to oppress the Lakers. The Lakers let Odom and Kobe retreat to protect the ball. After breaking the full-court press, they did not immediately shoot. I would rather let the game fall apart than let the Sonics keep their hands!

The game became a battle between Ke Yan and McMillan, and Hamblen's presence was completely suppressed.But he didn't hate Ke Yan at this time.The team's victory is the most important!

The Lakers have always maintained a lead of more than 5 points against the Sonics. In the last 2 minutes of the game, the Lakers still led by 6 points.McMillan made an adjustment, replacing Ridnour with Daniels, and wanted to catch up on chasing points by adding an offensive point.

The Lakers' lineup did not change much. Ke Yan arranged a triangle offense to help Kobe create single-handed opportunities, attract double-teams and then split the ball.At the moment of deciding the outcome, he put all his treasures on Kobe.

The Supersonics attacked in a positional battle, the four opened up, Jerome James and Anderson were stuck in position to grab a rebound, the other three stood still, and Ray Allen directly faced Kobe.

Ray Allen has rich experience, controlling the ball and pressing the rhythm. In the last five seconds, Lewis mentioned the pick-and-roll on the line. Ray Allen started with the ball and changed direction to the right. Odom made up for it. After taking Odom away, the ball was returned to Lewis, who caught the ball and faced Kobe with a three-pointer, and the ball scored! 95 to 92, the point difference was narrowed to only 3 points left.

The game continued, Kobe broke through with the ball from the outside, and the three players of the Sonics shrank to the penalty area together. McMillan's defensive arrangement was very clear.

Kobe plunged into the crowd, jumped up and turned around and passed the ball out of the perimeter. Butler made a jumper three-pointer with no defense at 70 degrees to the left. The ball bounced out of the frame and Lewis grabbed the rebound.

The tactics have been played out, and the openings have also been drawn out. Butler's three-point shooting percentage this season is nearly 37%, which is an absolutely qualified three-point firepower. It is a pity to miss this opportunity.

The Supersonics attack, the Supersonics still have four artillery standing on the periphery, attracting the defense. Jerome James made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Daniels with 8 seconds left in the offense, and Anderson came out in time to change defense. Unexpectedly, Daniels faced Anderson greeted it with an upraised arm. The ball missed, but the referee blew his whistle and made two free throws.

This foul is very Harden!

Daniels withstood the pressure amid the boos of the home fans and made two free throws, 95:94, only one point away, the pressure on the Lakers is high!

Ke Yan motioned for Hamblen to call a timeout, something had to be done!
