"Rebounding !!"

The Lakers missed the attack, Chen Mu firmly stuck Gasol behind him, just remembered to jump to grab the rebound, but the oblique stab shot out a fierce Zhang Fei, the round and stocky body soared into the sky, grabbed the basketball, and took it off fiercely.

"Roar!!"

Reggie Evans, before coming to the 76ers, was not a big talker on the court, although the style of play was quite vulgar and savage, but generally quiet, rarely talking or roaring.

But after the 76ers came, I don't know if it was because I was anxious to squeeze Chen Mu off the starter, I actually yelled as soon as I got on the court, roared as soon as I grabbed a rebound, roared at a successful defense, and roared at a beautiful card position, always screaming like Tarzan of the apes.

This is also a sign of fighting spirit......

Chen Mu didn't care, Evans's rebounding skills were originally in the middle of the game with him, as long as the ball could be controlled by the 76ers, who snatched it and who didn't snatch it, Chen Mu didn't take it to heart.

Sending a pass, Lowry advanced, and after coming to the frontcourt, without Milicic, the second offensive point in the low post, the 76ers ran again with the most familiar passing and cutting cooperation, Chen Mu did not fall directly into the low post, but stopped at the free throw line to catch the ball, and his teammates kept wandering like a marquee, and the fans who watched were dazzled, and they couldn't tell who was who for a while.

The Lakers' players are all good players, and this kind of tactical change is not too much to deal with. However, the 76ers' lineup is a bit of a headache, especially the two interior lines, which makes people feel very tricky.

"When"

Lowry missed the shot, and he was still sighing, but a black shadow jumped up under the basket, and with a snap, he took off the flying basketball.

"Rebounding!! Roar! ”

Reggie Evans, the rebounding ability in the frontcourt broke through the sky, and the rebounding idiot who once made Chen Mudu nerve-wracked, a beautiful card position. A clever choice, completely blocking the slow Gasol behind him, picking up a rebound, and roaring there again.

"Whoosh"

Roar to roar, Evans is a pure team player, he didn't hesitate to grab the rebound, immediately returned the pass, on the free throw line, Chen Mu didn't walk away, and after receiving the ball, he easily hit the shot.

2 points difference.

The shouts at the Staples Center arena were much quieter. The 76ers' frequent substitutions in the first quarter, especially in the interior position, have played three different interior players and Chinese kids, this strategy is relatively rare, and the effect is also very significant.

Bowler Bowler, Philadelphia's regular starting center, is characterized by protecting the frame and grabbing rebounds, and the interior blue-collar on the defensive end can do all the work, but everything is a little loose.

When Durham Potter and Chen Mu were partnered. The 76ers are not difficult to deal with at all, and Durham Porter's individual attack power on the offensive end is too weak, and Bynum and Gasol can completely let him go and contain Chen Mu. It brought a lot of trouble to Chen Mu's personal attack.

Then the substitution, Milicic came on, despite his current season average of less than 10 points per game, but this was won in less than 20 minutes of playing time. The efficiency is quite good, relying on his ability to go head-to-head with his back of his hand.

With Milicic and Chen Mu partnering, the 76ers' interior offense came alive all of a sudden. Bynum and Gasol were unable to contain Chen Mu, and due to the previous wrong matchup selection, Milicic used his experience and strength and height to win points several times. Chen Mu also used his own mobility to maneuver with Gasol, and the basket was about to fly into the sky.

Then Jackson asked for a change of defense, and it didn't matter if it was a change of defense, and the 76ers made another substitution.

Bynum's face against Chen Mu did make Chen Mu's back singles a little tight, and he could only rely on the middle to score points. The threat level of this mid-range shot is naturally not the same as that of a back-to-back single, Chen Mu is not a Dirk, and his shooting is just good, and he has not yet changed the game with a single shot.

Chen Muzhong shot, the natural space under the basket was large, and the 76ers began to run back frequently, and the effect was good.

The most important thing is that Gasol's biggest personal weakness is infinitely magnified by Evans.

Pau Gasol, an invincible presence in the FIBA arena, can play singles with his back, shoot in the middle, and even shoot three-pointers, his one-handed passing is quite coquettish, his vision on the court, and his ability to protect the frame are above the average level, and he is an all-star player who has been underrated for many years.

What is Gasol's weakness? If you carefully look at Gasol's games during the Grizzlies and later in the Bulls, it is not difficult for everyone to find that Gasol's weakness lies in the rebounding position.

Gasol has the height of a center, an amazing arm span, good rebounding awareness, and a good number of rebounds. But in the most basic skill of card slotting, Gasol is lacking. I don't know if it's because of the fighting spirit, Gasol is always a little lazy when he is in the position, the card position is not real, he thinks too much, and he wants to pay attention to too much, and from time to time he will be squeezed in front of him by the opposite person to steal the rebound.

This problem is not a big flaw in the Lakers, Bynum's rebounding position is still very solid, Odom is also a rebounding master, and Gasol's flaws are covered up by his teammates and hidden in the Lakers' lineup.

But Evans?

Among the active players, the guy with the most solid kung fu in the card position is probably him, and even Chen Mu has to bow down.

Under the strong impact of Reggie Evans, Gasol was a careless, almost every rebounding scramble, this damn guy dangled in front of him, pouted with his stocky big ass, shook Gasol out of the gasp, and then grabbed the rebound.

“DANM！”

was robbed of the rebound again, Gasol scolded angrily, angry in his heart, but helpless.

Speaking of which, Evans can be regarded as one of Gasol's bitter masters.

Although the strength and team status of the two are not on the same level at all, it is not difficult to see from the counterpoint data that Gasol will be deflated as soon as he plays Evans.

In the games played by the two, Gasol averaged 20 points per game and crushed Evans' 3.9 points, but in terms of rebounding, Gasol, who averaged 9.4 rebounds per game in his career, shrank to 8.5 as soon as he touched Evans.

Evans, for his part, averaged 7.1 rebounds per game against Gasol. That's not a good statistic. But Gasol played 36 minutes and Evans played just 18.

That's right, Gasol has to juggle scoring, assisting, rim protection, etc., and the task is very heavy, but Evans is focused on grabbing rebounds, and all his energy is used to find basketball spots, and the degree of specialization is naturally not the same. But the data is cold, judging from the data of the two pairs, at least in terms of rebounding, Evans is always ahead of Gasol.

"This time the guard was changed. It doesn't seem to work well. ”

Even the fans on the sidelines can see that Evans and Gasol are struggling, Chen Mu is happy and relaxed, and he doesn't go to the basket too much, so he sticks to the free throw line and does not waver, and from time to time there is a disgusting person who passes the ball and shoots or something.

Due to Chen Mu's mid-range threat, Bynum couldn't return to the basket to help Gasol grab the rebound, so the disgusting rebounding storm continued until Bynum couldn't bear it anymore. Come back and help out with a card slot, then

"Smack!"

Chen Mu came in to grab the rebound again!

“FXXXXXXXXXXK！！！”

Bynum is going crazy, this Chinese kid's offensive skills are indeed very comprehensive, but his defensive innate talent and conditions are so good. The previous restrictions were good, but Gasol's rebounds were exploded, and he took care of one thing and the other, and was stolen by the Chinese kid. It feels so @#¥%&*.

The game continued, with both teams making substitutions at the end of the first quarter, both coming off the bench. The 76ers' bench is no longer what it used to be. Shotguns were replaced, and Louis Williams, Carney, Willie Green and others had already been waiting on the field, and seeing that Milicic and Evans had time to play, they were waiting to see that they were going up to show their skills.

So in the connecting section, the 76ers and the Lakers' firepower bench did not fall behind, in terms of interior combination, the twin towers composed of DylerPorter and Milicic were slow, but the defense was very good, Milicic also had a hand to attack, with a group of small men on the outside who killed and did not pass the ball back and forth, and they were very happy.

This problem was not solved by the Lakers throughout the first half, and at halftime, against the Lakers, the 76ers actually led by 2 points at 55-53, which surprised many people.

'They're going to have a big move in the second half.'

In the dressing room, the players were still rejoicing in the excellence of the first half, and Cheeks was already thinking about what was next.

"The combination of Paul and Andrew was targeted by us, Phil definitely couldn't sit still, and in the second half, I guess he will take Bynum down." Cheeks analyzed: "Paul goes to play center, and the power forward position is likely to play Lamar, Lamar has great rebounding skills, and he has a hand-held all-around ability, which is difficult to deal with, and we have to find a way to stabilize the situation." ”

Seeing the players nodding, Cheeks continued: "We have to be patient, wait for them to continue to adjust, Lamar and Paul form an inside line, we don't have too good a way to obstruct it, just fight ball by ball." The key is to wait until Andrew is back on the pitch......"

"Let's catch sharks......!"

Soon after, the second half began.

Everything was as Cheeks expected, the scheming Phil Jackson really took Bynum, partnered with Gasol and Odom on the inside, and Luke Wharton played the small forward position after the famous goal of passing quite amazing.

In this period, the Lakers played a lot more steadily, Kobe Bryant and Fisher on the outside are all out of the ball, Gasol and Odom on the inside have a comprehensive vision, Wharton in the small forward position is not fast, he doesn't run high, his shooting is not accurate, but his passing vision is comparable to that of a point guard. As soon as the Lakers' offensive fireline spreads out, the 76ers are a little difficult to parry.

Wait!

Hold on, and wait!

Chen Mu gritted his teeth and insisted, confronting Odom, using his personal ability to grind point by point on the offensive end, but his eyes were aimed at the Lakers bench from time to time.

Bynum, I'm sure I'll be back soon......! (To be continued......)
