508. Fought Back!
Clarkson was the first to block Isaiah Thomas, and his defensive task was to prevent the little assassin from shooting directly, and Isaiah Thomas made eight three-pointers from beyond the three-point line in the last game. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the 76ers are such an advantageous player, and the Lakers are the strongest lineup today, although Clarkson will definitely not be able to prevent Isaiah Thomas from breaking through with three points, but he doesn't need to care about the rest at all, there are still people waiting inside.
Facing the oncoming Clarkson, Isaiah Thomas's dexterous crotch dribble, then pulled to the left, and suddenly broke through to the left, when he broke through, his movement range was small, the center of gravity was low, and the frequency was fast, which was similar to Iverson's flower-wearing butterfly step!
Isaiah Thomas is very fast, and he easily shakes off Clarkson's half-step, at this time, the average guard thinks about finding shooting space to shoot, and the half-step space is difficult for players with insufficient strength to break through, so James and Liu Ren can take advantage of this little space to directly crash into each other and enter the inside.
But Iverson and the little Assassin type of player are used to break the rules, and as soon as he accelerates, he gets inside in just half a position.
At this time, Clarkson had no choice but to watch Isaiah Thomas burst into the interior and couldn't catch up.
Clarkson's speed is excellent among point guards, but Isaiah Thomas is clearly a sprinter, and he can't keep up without taking half a step back to defend, not to mention that he still sticks to the defense.
Isaiah Thomas really inserted into the Lakers' hinterland as easily as the Assassins, and Liu Ren was ready to let go of the defender as soon as possible to pounce on the defense, just in time to block the latter's breakthrough route when Isaiah Thomas burst in.
At this time, Isaiah Thomas divided the ball and gave it to Covington, and Bryant quickly switched defenses.
Traditionally, a team like the 76ers will not pass too many balls, usually the stars share the ball, and the person who receives the ball immediately shoots.
But! In just a few months since the little assassins arrived with the 76ers, he led the team to a change of consciousness, and Covington kept the ball in his hands, and immediately threw it into the bottom corner the moment he received the ball.
The basketball was accurate to Tony Roten in the bottom left corner, who made a three-point shot!
"Huh"
Hit!
The 76ers took the lead to get 3 points, and the 76ers made their attitude clear, they don't admit defeat!
There's no way they're going to throw in the towel either, they've beaten the Lakers in three straight games, and who wouldn't want a fourth? And it's a nationwide live stream!
All players have pursuits, either for money, or for honor, in short, they must have their own pursuits.
Whether it's for money or whatever, if they can beat the Lakers again today, the 76ers, who have been abandoned before, will definitely get more attention, and maybe more teams want to get them, even if they can't stay on this team after their contracts expire this year, they have more hope of staying in the NBA!
After three consecutive losses to the 76ers, the Lakers have long taken this game seriously, losing to one team twice in a row? They haven't had anything like this this year!
The Lakers attacked, Larkson advanced to the top of the arc to hold the ball, Liu Ren came to the left side of the three-second zone and Gasol covered the run, bypassed the baseline to attract the attention of the main defender on the inside Noll and then came to the bottom corner of the right side to withdraw from the three-point line to receive the ball, Gasol fell to the low post and hit Thomas Robinson with his back.
Clarkson hobs the ball to Gasol.
The Lakers are playing this tactic now, and the Lakers often played like Gasol and Kobe and Bynum back then, this style of play is also a triangle offense, using Kobe and Bynum's containment around the bottom line, forcing the opponent to use the one with worse defense to defend Gasol, and Gasol's singles ability is very strong when he is physically sufficient, this is almost the playoffs, and D'Antoni is also preparing to hide from Gasol to find a feeling.
I think that Gasol did not have physical problems when he was young, and he was regarded as the number one striker for two consecutive years, which shows his strength.
And if the 76ers don't let go of Gasol, then Liu Ren can directly take the inside line, after all, the only thing that the 76ers are afraid of the Lakers is Noor.
Gasol took the ball and saw Thomas Robinson a little shorter than himself, which was a huge advantage for Gasol, height and reach, which is an advantage that the interior will never lose because of age.
Thomas Robinson is not tall enough, he can only hard-top underneath, and a feint of Gasol to take the ball to turn and shoot attracts the attention of Thomas Robinson, who is a black interior player with great physical fitness, characterized by quick reflexes.
It's a good thing to react quickly, but most black people don't have a good interior defense, because the reaction is too sensitive, and the body reacts instantly, even if he immediately reacts that the opponent is a feint, the body has already made a move to jump.
Thomas Robinson suppressed the jump, but the body had already reacted and was shaken!
At this time, Gasol turned around and wiped Thomas Robinson into a left-handed wipe for a layup!
It was too late for Thomas Robinson to turn around and block, and he could only watch as the ball flew out of Gasol's hand and landed in the basket.
Height, agility, feel, if Gasol really wants to be used as a core, it is absolutely sufficient, you don't see that if he goes to the Bulls, he will be treated as a father for two consecutive years......
The 76ers fans quickly booed, and although this was a normal situation, they just wanted to make their position clear.
Before the game, some bricks analyzed that the Lakers must be the main inside, and the 76ers are mainly on the outside, although this is something that fans who have watched the game for a few years can see.
For the 76ers, they have an advantage, that is, it is normal to lose, and winning is earning, and they will not have psychological pressure.
So they easily picked up the ball and gave it to the little assassin, and Isaiah Thomas advanced to the frontcourt, and this time he was going to block and call Knoll to come out and cover.
While the Lakers' attention was on Isaiah Thomas, Covington on the other side took advantage of Thomas Robinson's pick-and-roll to run into a gap.
Just when Liu Ren, Clarkson, and Green's attention was on the little assassin, he suddenly passed in the middle of the block, and passed to Covington at a 45-degree angle on the right!
Covington catches the ball and makes a three-pointer.
Covington is the biggest benefit since Isaiah Thomas came to the 76ers, averaging 18 points per game from 12 points per game, and it is said that many teams have taken a fancy to him.
Speaking of Covington is a veteran of the Rockets, a 13-year draft pick, he was signed by the Rockets for two years with a non-guaranteed base salary, and Covington has not had a chance to play since the beginning of this season, so he was traded to the understaffed 76ers, in exchange for a second-round pick that the 76ers got from the Warriors before was basically 578.
Who knew that Covington came to the 76ers and directly played a double-double performance per game, and after Isaiah Thomas came, he was even more like a fish in water, actively running, and his average of 20 points per game in the last two months has entered the eyes of many teams.
It is said that the Rockets must be high-quality, and I heard that the Rockets have been looking for a backup small forward for Ariza, and they also traded from the Timberwolves to get Brewer......
76ers fans think the Rockets are really honest people! Love to do good!
The 76ers opened today with two consecutive three-pointers, 6-2! Get off to a leading start!
Even if they know that the 76ers will go crazy when they meet the Lakers, everyone is still surprised, even if it is a 76ers fan.
It's just unscientific!
The Lakers have come up with the best lineup, why can't they prevent it? And where did this Roten and Covington come from, the three points are so accurate!
The fans checked the information of the two, and suddenly the whole person was not good, they were all from the Southwest Division, they didn't play a few games in their rookie years, and then they were traded to the 76ers for second-round picks, and then they played out at the 76ers!
Tony Roten was selected by the Grizzlies with the 25th pick in the first round in 2012.
In fact, because the 76ers' record is so bad, everyone takes it for granted that all their players are terrible.
But how bad is it to be able to play in the NBA? At least the leagues in Europe and Asia are superstars!
And the two of them are now serving as muskets next to the little assassins, which is really good, and the courage to shoot in a big bad team like the 76ers dares to shoot, and because they have a lot of shooting rights to practice before, the accuracy is really good!
Coach Zhang, the commentator of the live broadcast of the domestic court station, was furious about this: "Judging from the beginning, the 76ers feel good, the two pitchers next to Thomas Jr. Covington and Tony Rotten both fired and hit, so that the 76ers may be able to open today, once the shooter is thrown, the space will be opened, and after the space is opened, Thomas Jr. will have more room for breakthroughs and activities, so that Thomas Jr. will play better, and more opportunities will be created for teammates, and they will enter a virtuous circle." ”
Yu Jia also nodded on the side: "Director Zhang is right, the 76ers have no pressure to play the Lakers, but the Lakers are worried that they will be blamed by the fans if they lose to a weak team like the 76ers, so the 76ers will be very decisive when they shoot, and I think a large part of the Lakers' loss to the 76ers in the previous games is due to this reason." ”
"Yes, the Lakers absolutely can't accept another loss to the 76ers, after all, they still have to try to get at least 73 wins, although their next schedule is not particularly difficult, but other teams definitely want to snipe them, such as the Clippers, Rivers is not the weak general manager of the Clippers in the past. And the Lakers seem to encounter the 76ers like a curse, no matter how you prevent it, you can't prevent the low hand, "Director Zhang is also a little worried about the Lakers, this kind of curse really can't say the reason, didn't the Lakers see the Bobcat once when they won two consecutive championships and were abused once?
But Director Zhang still loves Kobe Bryant: "However, Kobe Bryant did not play in the previous few times when the Lakers lost to the 76ers, and Kobe Bryant is here today, and it may change." ”
Originally, although Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren still attached importance to this game, the main reason was that they didn't want to overturn in the gutter, but for the 76ers team, they really didn't have any desire to pay attention to it, and the difference in strength was too big.
But now seeing Covington and Tony Roten three points is really good, and both of them have excellent physical fitness, good attitude when defending, follow the two of them closely, and the offensive end is accurate, and suddenly feel that the 76ers can win two of them in a row is not just luck!
To be able to beat the Lakers while they are slack, at least you have to have the strength to take advantage of their slackness!
Liu Ren is a lot more serious here, and the Lakers' offense is still based on hitting the opponent's interior.
Who made the 76ers both interior shorty! Thomas Robinson and Noll are both two meters and eight, and Noll has a good single defense, so the Lakers want to focus on Thomas Robinson!
Liu Ren continued to switch positions with Gasol around the bottom line, this time Noll did not follow Liu Ren, but went to stick to Gasol tightly, not to Gasol easy singles, it was Thomas Robinson who followed Liu Ren! On the other side, Green has pulled to the middle distance to bring Covington, who defended Liu Ren, to the bottom left corner, Green also has three points, this year is getting more and more accurate, the 76ers want to beat the Lakers, very much, so they made full preparations before the game, although Green's three-point is sometimes very pitiful, but they don't want to bet on the other party's hand!
At this time, Gasol and Liu Ren fell to the side of the reasonable collision area, Noel is much stronger than Thomas Robinson, whether it is strength, agility, defensive awareness, much stronger, Gasol is really not good at position, so he simply pulled to the left 45-degree angle of the middle distance, leaving the low post to Liu Ren.
It's been a long time since I've fallen into a low position, and Liu Ren is a little excited!
If it was Noel who defended him, he would definitely not fall into a low position, Noel is young and can jump, and the success rate will not be so high if he hits him.
But if it was Thomas Robinson, Liu Ren decisively leaned on the other side and asked for the ball from the outside.
Liu Ren's physical fitness is so good, he will definitely take the low-post route as he gets older in the future, and the Lakers management and coaching staff have been consciously guiding, but it seems that the guidance is a little crooked......
Liu Ren didn't go to Kobe Bryant to learn low-post skills, but instead developed some hard-chiseled play similar to O'Neal......
Thomas Robinson, who is not much taller than Liu Ren, is less than the length of a finger, and is not a big loss overall, and in terms of strength......
Liu Ren received the ball and slammed it back, Thomas Robinson retreated as if he was flying, and after hitting it twice, Liu Ren was also a little struggling, and immediately threw it with a lame turn.
It felt good, and the ball bounced off the rebound and into the basket.
"Damn!"
76ers fans looked horrified, why does this girl feel so much like the fat man I saw 14 years ago? It's a mini version of O'Neill!
And the action is uglier than O'Neal, but O'Neill also has a beautiful little hook hand, what kind of trouble is this jumping up and smashing the basket?
Yes, it's not the first time that Liu Ren has been complained that the inside singles are smashing the basket, and there doesn't seem to be any outside line that uses the technique of hitting the board to throw, and the inside line is very rare......
In his last life, when Liu Ren practiced shooting, he liked to throw the ball to the rebound and bounce it into the basket, and he really practiced it......
Liu Ren's goal just now can be said to be a great blow to the opponent's morale, a big forward can't bear the strong food of a small forward, it's a shame to say.
But the 76ers have even won the penultimate one, or the penultimate in the "historical ruling level", will they still care about losing face?
Just after the Lakers scored, Isaiah Thomas received a free throw from Noll in the backcourt and counterattacked directly and quickly!
Isaiah Thomas was slowly advancing in the first two rounds, and at this time he suddenly counterattacked quickly, and the Lakers did not react!
When Clarkson came back to his senses and caught up, he couldn't keep up at all, and could only watch the little assassin trot to his own basket and make a layup.
"Isn't that our way of playing?" The Lakers looked confused, this kind of five-second counterattack is the Lakers' forte, and it was actually used by the other party, or used it in person against themselves.
D'Antoni was also stunned on the sidelines, and then looked at Coach Brown on the 76ers bench, he felt that this Coach Brown still seemed to have two brushes, usually he turned the stars to get other people's tactics to his own, but he didn't expect others to use this trick on him today.
Coach Brown saw D'Antoni's slightly meaningful gaze, smiled at D'Antoni and continued to look back at the field in a daze......
Yes, in a daze......
Because everything on the field doesn't have much to do with him, he just uses it to make substitutions when the players are tired......
What did this Coach Brown do before he entered the NBA?
Of course, he is also the head coach, but the team he coaches is a team in the Australian NBL league, what does this NBL league mean? It is similar to the NBL, the lower league of the CBA league in China.
Yes, amateur leagues......
Brown is specially found by the 76ers management, look at his coaching resume, 27 wins and 117 losses......
Keep your eyes back on the field.
The Lakers players felt like they were eating flies, and if they were just a little serious before, now they want to take out the 76ers!
Slap in the face! 76 people are slapping them in the face alive! Counter them with the way they're most proud to counter them!
