Chapter 288: Pause, Replacement

Bryant took off his jacket and sat down on the court in his jersey, and he was now waiting for a chance to die. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAs soon as the ball dies, the Lakers can make substitutions.

Of course, Kobe Bryant won't play alone, after all, someone needs to go up and replace Howard, he is now completely limited by the Spurs' tactics, it is not easy to score, it is even more difficult to pass, once the ball is in his hands, the Lakers' four shooters will not be able to get the ball.

D'Antoni asked Gasol and Kobe to play together, after all, after O'Neal, the best cooperation with Kobe was Gasol, at least they didn't fight because of the ball problem.

Although Gasol has been complained about softly, his ability to respond is definitely first-class among the big men, and the "Zen Master" Jackson used him as the core of the triangle tactics, and after Gasol's strategy, the Lakers' offense during the two consecutive championships will be so smooth.

The Spurs also saw that the two were already warming up and preparing to play, so they naturally became serious, as soon as the combination of Kobe and Gasol played, the Lakers would immediately become another team.

At that time, it was not the current Lakers, and the team's strategy had to change.

"Qin, it's a bit difficult to deal with. Kobe Bryant and Gasol are on the same page, and we're in a bit of trouble. Parker approached Qin Yan and whispered.

"Tsk, do you want the coach to call a timeout?" Qin Yan doesn't have a good way, after all, if these two are really rotated, then the Spurs' current lineup is indeed a little troublesome.

It's not that Qin Yan is afraid of Kobe, it's just that the Spurs' current style of play is based on the tactical core of restraining Howard, so if the Lakers are replaced, the Spurs' style of play will not be used, and they will kneel if they are used.

"Di-" Popovich would not make such a low-level mistake, he saw that there was going to be a substitution to change the style of play, so he simply called a timeout, and he should do a good deed to let the opposite side make a substitution, otherwise according to the Spurs' style of play, it would be impossible for the Lakers to die without a foul.

If you don't die, Kobe Bryant and Gasol can only wait slowly on the sidelines.

And this timeout can just give them a chance to adjust the losing lineup themselves.

Well, it would be better if the two of them quarreled again haha.

I have to say that this is a very dark idea, but it is true that if you simply make a substitution, it is difficult for the players to break out into conflict because of the time period, but if the substitution decision is announced at the time of the pause, haha, then the unhappy big-name players will have the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction.

Especially now Howard is disgraced by the Spurs' tactics, and he is already angry, if he is let out at this time, hehe, it is estimated that there will be a trouble.

Sure enough, Howard was really unhappy when he went down to rest, he couldn't play comfortably because he was restricted by the Spurs, and he could only watch the score being pulled away little by little, this feeling of powerlessness was really exactly the same as what Kobe Bryant brought him when he led the team to the finals.

Howard sat heavily on the bench, took a towel to cover his head, and didn't say a word, exuding an air of "no one else should approach".

No one on the Lakers bench wants to touch Howard's mold at this time, although Howard usually has a good temper, but now he is like a wounded beast, whoever gets close to him is unlucky.

"You've failed." At this time, a figure calmly appeared in front of Howard and said this coldly.

"......" If Howard usually heard this person teach him such a lesson, he would definitely refute it out loud, but today he didn't, probably because he was really suppressed by the Spurs, so he didn't want to say anything.

"It seems that you are still weak, so let's sit down." Kobe Bryant looked at Howard with a kind of overhead eyes, this teammate who has made him very uncomfortable since the beginning of the season, it seems that he is really out of tune with Ah.

At least Kobe Bryant hates this kind of person who is full of decadence when he encounters failure, in Kobe's eyes, there is no such thing as failure, only constant challenges, even if his hands and feet cramp, but as long as he has the opportunity, he must fight to the end.

It's clear that Kobe Bryant is an indomitable fighter, but Howard is not.

After listening to Kobe's decision to let himself go, Howard was unexpectedly not angry this time, he just nodded silently, and then leaned back on his seat without speaking, under the cover of the towel, he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Huh? Didn't there get a fight over there? "On the Spurs' side, Dio is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Well, according to Howard's temper, it's weird, but I always feel a little wrong, Howard, it feels like I've given up." Qin Yan stretched his neck to look at the situation over there, and always felt that Howard was in something wrong, as if he had given up this game.

"Okay, leave them alone, let's talk about our next arrangements." Duncan grabbed the two restless masters, dragging their attention back.

"Next, Hassan and Tony come down and rest for a while, Tracy and Boris you play, because Gasol on the other side will be there, so Tim, you work hard and contain him for a while."

Popovich began to assign tasks, replacing Parker and Whiteside, and bringing Ginobili and Dio up, so that the Spurs' lineup on the court is all big men over 2 meters, and they are also big and small.

"Tracy, your task is to control the rhythm and help Qin deal with your old friend by the way." Popovich instructed Maddie.

"Coach, I can handle Kobe." Qin Yan knew that Popovich had good intentions, but he felt that he felt inexplicably taken care of.

"Don't be reckless, the current Kobe Bryant is better than you." Popovich didn't give any face, "If Gasol cooperates with him, you can't deal with him now." ”

Maddie hugged Qin Yan and said, "Oh, Qin, don't worry, I won't show up when you guys go head-to-head, I'll watch you being blown up by Bryant hahaha~"

And other unscrupulous teammates also took the opportunity to laugh, betting on how many points Qin Yan would let Kobe get today.

Qin Yan looked depressed, these unscrupulous guys can't say something good, give yourself a little confidence and die! Although Kobe Bryant is indeed very powerful today, if he can't prevent it, it's a big deal to explode with him.

"Okay, no kidding." Maddie suddenly lowered her voice and said seriously, "You let go and do what you want, and leave some finishing work to me." ”

"Tracy?" Qin Yan was a little surprised.

"It's been a long time since I've played in the playoffs, and I want to contribute to the team." Maddie felt a little emotional, if it weren't for the fact that he agreed to join the Spurs this season, he didn't know if he would have a chance to play in the playoffs again.

Absolutely not, let others think that they are hugging their thighs!

This is Maddie, the last pride!

"Tick-"

It's timeout, two teams, new lineups, play!
