Chapter 263 [Hack the Shark to Death, Run to the Laker]
The Raptors attacked, and Maddy got rid of Kobe Bryant by covering and pulled away from heads-up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the role of the veteran Hawley began to appear, and the close defense of Maddie continued to make small movements, stabbing the waist and eyes, and pushing the thigh. Maddie turned and shot in a bad rhythm and missed the basket.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant was caught again, and the ball was given to Brian Shaw to miss three points again, and the Raptors battled in a positional battle, Yang Rui shouted at Miller on the sidelines: "Go to the side without ball cover." ”
Detreve's figure side cover is not effective, Miller does not have much effect on Maddy's blocking, even if he helps him get rid of Kobe, he can't break through easily, Fox and Hawley are both experienced and about the same height as Maddie.
Miller immediately went to the left and gave Hornacek off-ball screen, with Maddy passing the ball down the middle.
Hornacek won two three-pointers, and no one dared to relax their defense against him, and Hawley immediately switched defenses. Hornacek dribbled and passed the ball to Miller, who had run to a 45-degree low.
Miller practiced shooting in the team, but also practiced low footwork, leaning on Fisher to turn to the middle and throw the ball in. 33 to 27.
Fox defended Treve away from the basket, Hawley is 206CM tall and weighs only 100 kilograms, even if he directly defends Miller, he is at a disadvantage, and the retreat after the dislocation is even more unstoppable.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant took the ball in the low post on the right side, probed and broke through the baseline, leaned on Christie to get into the basket, jumped up the lever under the Detreve bag, threw the ball out in the seam, and hit the backhand board. 33 to 29.
Zhang Li shouted: "It's so good to stay in the air, this kind of goal under the bag, no one can score except Kobe!" ”
Kobe Bryant's ball sense is amazing, and he often has incredible goals, but Yang Rui is not in a hurry at all, and the Lakers score much more difficult than the Raptors. This kind of fancy layup, Kobe Bryant can't play a few games.
Maddie was guarded by Kobe Bryant and took on the task of playmaking, Hornacek and Miller blocked the side again, Miller forced the basket, turned to the baseline after shaking, and relied on Holly to score on the board. 35 to 29.
"Zen Master" Jackson saw that the famous "soft eggs" began to bully people under the basket, and replaced Brian Shaw with O'Neal.
"The Big Shark" dominated the box as soon as he got on, scoring three consecutive rounds. He first squeezed Miller away for a one-handed dunk, and then caused Miller and Detreve to commit one foul each, making 3 of 4 free throws.
Yang Rui replaced Miller, sent the veteran Willis, and continued to use the "shark slashing tactic" to strictly guard against outside players, Willis soon rested for four fouls, and Cato went on the court to compete with O'Neal again.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Cato played against O'Neal in the 2004 playoffs and defended well. Now O'Neal is in his prime, and it is not something Cato can limit one-on-one, he scored 31 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist in the first half, and made 8 of 20 free throws.
Kobe Bryant only had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the half, and as soon as O'Neal came back, he had no ball again.
The Raptors continued to storm O'Neal a little and ran with him, O'Neal was forced to switch guards, and also carried two fouls, and the Raptors players were much more accurate in their free throws.
The Raptors led 54-49, and Carter had the best performance, with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
At halftime, Zhang Li sighed: "This Raptors' style of play is really ...... It's indescribable, O'Neal made 20 free throws in the half, and he is likely to break the record. ”
Sun Zhengping said: "Is there a scoring record? At the top of the list is Michael Jordan, who scored 63 points in '86. ”
Zhang Li said with a smile: "The scoring record is difficult, there is almost no suspense about breaking the record number of free throws in a single game, and the previous record is O'Neal's, 31 times in a single game." ”
On November 19, 1999, when the 7-3 Lakers hosted the 1-7 Bulls, O'Neal played 43 minutes, made a record 31 free throws, hit 19, 11 of 13 shots, and had 41 points, 17 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 7 blocks.
The onlookers were just surprised, but O'Neal was angry, he spent the whole first half battling with his opponents, scoring a lot of points, but also expending a lot of energy, and now he is very tired.
If the Raptors continue to play like this in the second half, will they still be able to play happily?
In the second half, it was Willis, a veteran who had four fouls, who came out first, and Mike Brin smiled at the sight of him. "Jerry Young has carried forward the shark-slashing tactics, and today it looks like he's going to cut to the end, and the rest of the Lakers have to step up and score."
Walter Fraser said: "Christie did a really good job defending Kobe Bryant today, and if Kobe Bryant can't play, it's hard for the Lakers to win today. ”
The game continued, the Lakers tried a few fast breaks, and the Raptors' one-on-one defense was not weak and the effect was not good.
In the positional battle, O'Neal attacked the basket, the Raptors did not wrap up, strictly guarded the outside line, cut the shark if they couldn't withstand it, and sent O'Neal free throws.
On the offensive end, the Raptors' outside players kept running for opportunities, catching the ball, and playing alone.
played 7 minutes with Cato and Willis, Yang Rui replaced Miller, and he would not be easily knocked away by O'Neal in the low post, and he could also interfere with O'Neal's shooting and prevent two shots.
O'Neal was too energetic, and the shift was much slower, and Carter ran to catch the ball and hit three three-pointers in a single quarter. Kobe Bryant chased the defense quickly, but O'Neal Jr. finished blocking on the side, and Miller often came to the second block in the middle.
O'Neal Jr. is on the floor, and Green must defend it, otherwise a heads-up is an opportunity, and if you want to help O'Neal help defend Carter, you can only flank the man, which will miss the pitcher.
In the last attack, Carter still ran to play without the ball, Kobe Bryant caught up, Carter distributed the ball to the middle, and Miller hit a three-point whistle in the face of O'Neal, which almost lost the morale of the Lakers.
87-69, the Raptors only allowed the Lakers to score 20 points in this quarter.
O'Neal made 12 more free throws, breaking the record for the number of free throws made in a single game, hitting seven. He made 15 of 32 free throws in the third quarter, which is equivalent to 16 offensive opportunities to score 15 points, which is very inefficient.
Some fans are curious about how O'Neal, as one of the league's heaviest interior lines, ensures physical fitness problems in his peak years. The answer is that he doesn't do much on the defensive end to guard three-pointers.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the Pacers only averaged 18.1 three-pointers per game, and the Raptors averaged 29.4 three-pointers per game this season.
In 2004, the Pistons defeated the Lakers 4-1 to win the championship, and Billups and Hamilton gave the Lakers the most headache because they had good physical strength and kept running.
Now this Raptors, Carter's strength is stronger than Hamilton, who is mainly shot, Billups's comprehensive strength is not as good as the Pistons period, and his physical fitness and three-point shooting are not worse than then.
In the final quarter, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant continued to play, and Jackson knew that if he wanted to win, he could only play on the stars. The point difference continues to widen, and the stars don't have to be on anymore.
The Raptors came off the bench with two benches, Boykins, Christie, Maddy, and Jumaine Jones, Miller.
Yang Rui asked Miller to defend O'Neal alone, if O'Neal went deep into the basket, you're welcome, foul. Maddie made a cameo appearance as a power forward, switching to Kobe Bryant after encountering a pick-and-roll.
O'Neal played a minute, missed a shot, turned and hit the basket once and was caught and went to the free throw line. He was about to vomit on his free throws today, missing both free throws.
Boykins and Jumain, as marginal people, are full of physical strength, and as soon as their teammates grabbed the rebound, they immediately went down.
The 36-year-old veteran Hubble has been playing for 30 minutes and has exerted a lot of physical strength, so how can he keep up with Boykins? THE 198CM MAN DIDN'T BEND DOWN WHEN HE WAS DEFENDING AGAINST THE COUNTER-ATTACK, AND BOYKINS SPRANG OUT.
Hubble was driven three times in a row, twice for Boykins to make a layup, and once for a foul to stop the fast break. Jackson hurriedly replaced Hubble with Fisher.
At this time, the Lakers' outside players, except for Kobe, no longer dared to shoot. As long as the shot doesn't go in, the opponent's counterattack is too sharp, and O'Neal can't guarantee the speed of the defense.
The Raptors' positional battle Lakers are also not easy to defend, Jumaine and Christie stood on the right side to attract the defense, Maddy organized a pass in the middle, and Miller gave Boykins an off-ball cover on the left side to help him get rid of Fisher.
O'Neal's switch to Boikins is a spectacle, and the opponent is not half his age. He kept his distance and defended the breakaway, and Boykins hit a three-pointer straight away.
The goal was a huge demoralizer to the Lakers, as the shortest Boykins scored seven points after playing, stretching the margin to 21 points.
Jackson didn't call a timeout, he knew he couldn't win today.
