152. Lightning strikes back!
Liu Ren feels that the pressure on the Pacers is even greater!
Because a lot of media talk about whether the Pacers will set a new historical record. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Pacers have 38 games left this season, and with their current 13-game winning streak, fans and media are expecting them to surpass 72 wins in a few consecutive rounds.
Thinking of this, Liu Ren doesn't feel so much pressure, if the Lakers lose one game, they can only say that they will lose if they lose, and the Pacers players probably want to break the record now, right? That way they are more worried about losing!
Just when Liu Ren thought about it sideways, thinking that he was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes anyway, the referee began to urge the players of the two teams to play, and the game began.
Both starters are the most used lineups recently, with Nash, Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol, and Thackeray on the Lakers' side, and George Hill, Stephenson, Paul George, West, and Hibbert on the Pacers' side.
Maybe Hibbert didn't bounce as well as Thackeray, but Hibbert was tall and won the jump ball easily.
Liu Ren jumped up to make a steal, but the Pacers apparently watched the Lakers' last game and were prepared for his sudden attack, and George Hill jumped up and held the ball in his arms.
Liu Ren shrugged his shoulders and quickly ran back to defend.
The Pacers strike first.
The Pacers are a slow-paced team, averaging the seventh-lowest shots per game in the league.
In addition to playing counter-attacks, the Pacers have always been slow, and George Hill almost used up eight seconds in the short distance from his own free throw line to the opponent's frontcourt!
It was Nash who defended George Hill, Nash really couldn't defend it, and the Lakers could only watch Nash being forced by George Hill.
Thackeray, who was defending Hibbert in front of him, had to come over to make up for it.
George Hill passes the ball to Hibbert, who is free inside, and Hibbert makes a layup.
Although Paul George's shooting percentage is not high this year, he is limited to baskets and close-range shots, and his finishing ability under the basket has not been good.
However, Paul George has shot 45 percent from three-point range this season, and with his best defensive performance, he can be said to be almost the ultimate 3-and-D player!
Gasol is at the age of playing healthy ball in the regular season, even the coaching staff is reluctant to let him play too hard in the regular season, let alone the team led by D'Antoni, who has never cared about defense.
From the first ball Lakers, we knew that it would be a death to fight the Pacers with their sloppy defense!
Then you can only play as fast as possible!
Nash advanced to the frontcourt, made a gesture, and then passed the ball to Bryant at a 45-degree angle on the right.
Kobe Bryant received the ball and shot directly against Stephenson's defensive three-point shot!
Hit!
Kobe Bryant feels good today!
The Pacers attacked, George Hill slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, he looked at the Lakers' defense and seemed to feel that something was wrong, and he had some doubts in his heart, but there was no time for him to doubt on the court, he saw that it was still Nash who was defending him, and he chose to break through again.
Still as smooth as the road in the early morning, George Hill easily broke through to the three-second zone.
But! To George Hill's surprise, the Lakers chose to shrink instead of letting go of their worst offense, Hibbert, like other teams!
Liu Ren, Kobe, Gasol, and Thackeray stick to the basket!
George Hill froze, who are you going to pass it to? Now there are three teammates with big gaps!
George Hill ended up opting for a pass to David West, who was positioned in the 30-degree mid-range to the left of his favorite basket.
George Hill was thinking that passing to teammates who were closer to the basket had the highest chance of scoring, and that was what Popovich taught him.
Didn't disappoint George Hill, West hit the shot from mid-range.
Just as the Pacers were about to return to defense, a lightning-like figure had already run to the frontcourt, and Nash received the ball from Thackeray and directly chose a long pass to the opponent's basket.
Liu Ren just ran into the three-point line, and Nash's accurate long pass was just delivered!
Liu Ren took a step into the three-point line and jumped up slightly, but glided to the basket and scored a one-handed slam dunk.
Seven-second fast break?
Now it's evolved, it's a three-second fast attack!
Before the Pacers had time to retreat, the Lakers had already made a quick attack!
The Pacers players stared at the timer that had only passed three seconds in amazement, a little caught off guard, they had never encountered the situation before.
It was only after the referee's continuous urging that Stephenson and George Hill reacted and ran back to their backcourt to serve.
George Hill dribbled the ball and looked at Nash's big back, as if he saw the man chasing the wind 10 years ago, when he had not yet entered the NBA, what he appreciated most was the style of the man in front of him, selfless and gorgeous, two words that seemed to be completely incompatible could be put on a person, making him so obsessed.
George Hill put those memories aside and focused on continuing to break through.
Nash was a defensive ATM when he was younger, and now it's impossible to defend George Hill, a young quasi-first-class point guard.
George Hill burst in with ease.
The Lakers shrank again, giving the Pacers three big gaps.
Liu Ren actually doesn't want to play this kind of basketball, he prefers to play tactics with the opponent on the offensive end, and fight hard with the opponent on the defensive end.
But the squad is like this, he can't help it, so he's ready to fight back at any time.
George Hill still passed to West, and West scored again!
As soon as West received the ball, Liu Ren rushed out directly from under the basket, regardless of whether West scored or not, the Lakers' rebounds were much stronger than the Pacers, and the advantage was very obvious.
West's goal went into the Lakers without being affected in the slightest, and Thackeray immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Nash, who once again made a long pass.
It's not that the walkers are slow, it's that they can't react at all!
When Nash made a long pass, Paul George, Stephenson, and George Hill reacted and sprinted to their own basket, but they just ran past the halfway line and saw the image of Liu Ren falling from the basket.
Lightning Counter Tactics! Also known as the Seven Seconds Attack!
This was the tactic of Nash and D'Antoni when they swept the league in the regular season to win the MVP and best coach!
No matter what defense the opponent has, no matter what offense the opponent is, the Suns must complete their team's offense in seven seconds!
The Lakers have now thrown out this tactic, and this is the tactical response made by D'Antoni to the Pacers after discussing with Nash and Kobe!
In the next few rounds, the Pacers hit open shots in a row, but the score was bitten to death by the Lakers!
The Pacers scored one in the open position, and the Lakers returned one right away!
Liu Ren's super fast counterattack speed takes the lightning counterattack tactics to a new level! (To be continued.) )
