Chapter 146: Targeted (1st Update)

The game begins.

The Lakers made a jump shot.

Kobe Bryant asked for the ball after half the court, and it was Dron Tvester who defended Kobe, but Kobe Bryant was not intimidated at all, and after receiving the ball, he directly broke through with low body, and then used speed and power to crush the layup.

Delonte West made a mistake, and Kobe Bryant made a successful layup directly and smashed the board to score.

Staples Arena burst into applause.

Kobe Bryant pulled his clothes excitedly, and he couldn't help himself.

Qin Yang smiled from the audience.

If it continues like this, the Lakers will definitely lose.

The Cavaliers attack.

James covered high and eventually made Paul Gasol 2-of-2 free throws after making a foul.

When the Lakers attacked again, Kobe Bryant held the ball and transferred the ball directly to Pau Gasol, and then ran without the ball himself, Delonte West followed closely, but Kobe Bryant accelerated and opened up half of his body.

Gasol passed, and Kobe Bryant took the ball and scored directly to the basket.

The fans cheered, and several beauties in the star seat in front of the stadium jumped up and applauded in celebration.

After Qin Yang saw this ball, his face changed: "Kobe, I actually passed the ball, this game is difficult to play." ”

Bryant's goal is not a problem.

Kobe Bryant's singles ability is among the top few in the league. But Bryant's height, strength, and speed are not unstoppable in the league, so when it comes to strong defense, the efficiency is often not very high.

Unless Kobe Bryant has a blast, it's not like Kobe Bryant can't be defended.

But if Kobe Bryant passes the ball, then the Lakers become very powerful.

The three-high lineup is very strong in itself, and if Kobe Bryant does not seize most of the ball and affect the performance of the three, it is almost inevitable that the Lakers will win.

The game continues.

The gap between the two teams quickly widened.

The Cavaliers are dominated by James, and the offensive end tactics are very stiff, covering in the high post, and James attacks the basket, either scoring or distributing the ball to the outside.

The only downside the Lakers can exploit is the old fish Fisher, who is too scummy defensively.

But the Lakers have a strong interior defense, and the Cavaliers can only shoot from the outside.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers' Mo Williams had a good hand, making 3 of 4 and scoring 7 points. James scored 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, but the Cavaliers still trailed 25-32.

Bryant was 7-of-10 from the field for 17 points and three assists, and the Lakers took 24 shots, most of which went to others. Kobe Bryant took quite few shots.

Old fish Fisher was 2 of 3, Bynum was 2 of 4, and Gasol was 2 of 3, and the shooting percentage was surprisingly high.

Except for Ariza 3 in 1 there are some pits.

Both sides played a good first quarter, but the Lakers won without any suspense.

Absolute strength gap.

At the end of the first quarter, everyone on the Cavaliers was exhausted, and James had done his best in the first quarter, but the Cavaliers couldn't make up for it.

The combination of Big Z and Vallejo is far inferior to Bynum and Pau Gasol.

The break passed quickly, and the Cavaliers made a substitution, with Qin Yang replacing Mo Williams.

The Lakers also replaced Kobe Bryant and Fisher, with Odom and Luke Wharton on the court.

This season, the Cavaliers bench is one of the strongest in the league, and the Cavaliers bench led by Qin Yang often pulls away in the second and third quarters, which helps the team a lot.

Qin Yang also ranked at the top of the best sixth man because of this.

But the Lakers' bench is just as tough.

Odom, who could almost become an All-Star, came off the bench, and the extravagance of the Lakers' roster was jaw-dropping, compared to the Cavaliers' roster.

Qin Yang came on the court, broke through with the help of cover on the first ball, used the rhythm to break through Luke Wharton, and finally passed to Vallejo when Gasol assisted in the defense, and Vallejo hit it from close range.

The Lakers attacked, Luke Wharton directly dropped the ball to Pau Gasol, Gasol shook his shoulders, shook the space with the movement of the guard, and hit the mid-range.

Vallejo was shaken away, and there was nothing to be done.

The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang held the ball, this time Ariza clung to Qin Yang and did not give Qin Yang a chance to shoot, and Pau Gasol on the inside also paid great attention to not giving Qin Yang a chance.

Delonte West blocked and dismantled, and Qin Yang quickly broke through.

But after the breakthrough, Qin Yang instantly hesitated.

Big Z is on the baseline side, with Bynum by his side, James is followed by Odom outside, and Pau Gasol is already in position.

Qin Yang didn't have a good chance to break through or pass.

After stepping into the three-point line, after Qin Yang hesitated slightly, he immediately picked up a shot and scored two points.

Boom!

Basketball hits iron, Bynum grabs the rebound, and the Lakers slow half-court offense.

Qin Yang frowned, as if he sensed that something was wrong, but the game was going on, and Qin Yang didn't have time to think about what the problem was.

The Lakers attacked, Odom broke through with the ball, was blocked by James, Odom passed, Pau Gasol held the ball high, and passed directly to Ariza, who cut in the air.

Ariza lays up, the basketball jolts and pops off the basket, and Ben Wallace grabs the rebound.

The Lakers didn't score in this ball, but Qin Yang felt that something was wrong, because after Pau Gasol held the ball in the high position, his passing ability was too strong.

This kind of pass, the hit is very high.

Unless you're unlucky enough to score something like Ariza this time, you're almost guaranteed to score.

The Cavaliers attacked, James took the initiative to come up to block and dismantle, Qin Yang broke through and distributed the ball to James who was about to go, and James made a quick stop jump shot.

After a jolt, the basketball goes into the basket.

In two rounds, the Cavaliers saved a lot of scores, but Qin Yang was uneasy in his heart.

The next match proved Qin Yang's prediction.

Pau Gasol made 2 mid-range shots, hitting them all, hitting 1 low hook shot, 4 high passes, scoring all of them, and Odom hit one three-pointer. 2 passes and 2 layups.

The Lakers played very well tactically.

No, it should be said that the Lakers Pau Gasol and Odom are too versatile, they can attack, shoot, and pass, and with these two players as the core, the Lakers play very freely.

Qin Yang hit 3 of 7 shots in the second quarter, including 2 of 5 from the middle distance and 1 of 2 from the basket, and he didn't shoot outside the three-point line.

In this quarter, the Lakers' defensive strategy against Qin Yang has changed, and they have defended Qin Yang's projection many times, but as for the breakthrough, it is a lot of air defense.

Qin Yang can break through relatively easily.

But after the breakthrough, Qin Yang's choice could only be to pass the ball or shoot from a mid-distance, and the strong defense that Qin Yang encountered under the basket did not give Qin Yang a chance at all.

At this time, Qin Yang sensed that something was wrong:

"My weaknesses are being targeted."

James played 6 minutes in the second quarter, and by the end of the second quarter, the gap between the Cavaliers and the Lakers had not narrowed, but had widened to 14 points.

With a 14-point margin at halftime, the Cavaliers were dangerous.

One more, the second one soon!
