150. Upset!(1/2)
O'Neal scored 7 points in 9 minutes in the first quarter, Kobe scored 6 points in 12 minutes, and the Lakers only scored 17 points!
For the other 4 points, Leder stepped back and scored two points, and Tyronn Lue seized the opportunity to counterattack and layup for two points.
The opposing veterans made 0 of 7 shots from close range, as if the basket was blocked.
This situation was unexpected by the Clippers players, and Gentry was also surprised by the adjustment, but everyone was extremely excited about it!
When the break was about to end, Li Ao received a task prompt...
In the second quarter, the Clippers continued their previous style of play.
Li Ao and his teammates trust each other.
Teammates trust Li Ao to defend Kobe's mid- and long-range shots. Unless Kobe breaks into the paint, everything will be left to Li Ao.
Trust Li Ao to shrink inside, focus on blocking the mid-range and long-range shots of the opponent's veterans, actively block the three-second zone, and prevent the opponent's shots from the wings.
Li Ao also trusted his teammates and left the offense to O'Neal Jr. and McGinnis.
Upon seeing this, Li Ao came to the left side of the free throw line. Horace saw Li Ao's movement and leaned on O'Neal Grant to move quickly to the eight-point line at a 45-degree angle.
Xi Mingqing passed the ball to McGinnis, but directly to the right front of Kobe!
99 to 95, the Slow Boaters defeated the Lakers in an away game!
Goal 2: The host's blocks tonight must be lower than the season average.
Trust and hard work bring rewards!
At the end of the quarter, it’s time for the slow fleet!
Huo Wai circled to the top arc, received the pass from Kobe, and hit the eight-pointer in the small gap in front of him, making a hollow hit!
If the teammates really need one person to play in isolation, then he will play behind the back and hit the back to help.
In terms of assists, I only had two assists tonight, which is a career high. The most I have assists in the future is three.
When Zen Master called a timeout, Kobe actively asked for the ball. Xi Ming, who was aiming far away before receiving the ball, pounced down, tilted his body and threw the ball towards the scene with one hand... the ball bounced under the backboard with a "bang" sound.
In the middle circle, the iron was fired, and Kobe Bryant also pounced on him. Li Ao retreated flexibly to avoid it, and Kobe Bryant fell to the floor and threw himself on the street...
Chasing 4 points in 3.6 seconds, the opponent cannot defend directly.
The Slow Boaters seized the opportunity brought by the stability of the Lakers veterans in the middle of the season!
Goal 1: The hosts need to score less than their season average tonight.
I felt the strong trust that Great Horace had in me. There were only a few seconds left to retreat, but the opponent still bravely chose to cooperate with me.
But compared to physical strength...
The Lakers served from the backcourt, but the Slow Boaters failed to complete the serve and steal. The Lakers retreated into a positional battle and immediately passed the ball to Xi Mingqing, who was leaning on Kwaisi Mihm in the high post to reach the position, and "delayed his move" to the basket.
The big Horace directly above the frame attacked directly, giving Horace the opportunity to make singles moves.
The OK combination worked hard and hit a 17-4 wave in just 4 minutes. They relied purely on personal ability to help the Lakers chase the score to 90-92, narrowing the point difference to two points!
With 3.6 seconds left, the Lakers could only pray that Horace, who shot 61% of his free throws, would turn into Malone.
93 to 94, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 1 point!
When his teammates needed someone to take the shots, he would make a shot to boost his momentum.
But no one has given up yet!
McGinnis still played in singles, but no one from the Slow Boat team stood up that time. Xi Ming cut in and attracted the attention of Horace. Horace got the rebound and got up again, pulling up after O'Neal Grant interfered.
A huge looping layup.
94 to 90, the slow boat team leads by 4 points!
However, the Slow Boat team had to wait for a long time. Before the official timeout came back, Horace, who was in a hurry, took the lead and hit two single hook shots. Then Kobe Bryant used his strength to hit Li Ao in singles and took two steps back. With eight points, Riga broke through and made a layup for 21.
Penalty: 1 basic attribute point. (Host season average score: 24.5 points, score in this game: 17 points, victory.)
The ball hit the center circle and rolled back toward the other half, and the final whistle sounded.
However, the rebounds were in double figures! I shrank to intimidate the opponent's veteran to attack the frame, and I got the hat, but when my teammates saw me retreating from the basket, they all went to block the position to prevent Xi Mingqing and O'Neal Grant from grabbing the offensive rebound. He lived up to the trust of his teammates and got 10 rebounds in regular time, his first double-double in his career!
In the first quarter, he thought that with his slow movement, Kobe's attention would be drawn to the side with the ball, and he could take the opportunity to move to catch the ball and shoot.
Both goals were successful, but it doesn't matter, we won tonight!
In the last quarter, the young players of the Slow Boat team were still running fast, and the veterans of the Lakers followed behind!
It’s not that we don’t have confidence because we don’t have Kobe Bryant!
Xi Ming caught the ball and took off for a mid-range shot. Did anyone from the Lakers come down to cover the defense? Some people expected that!
With 31 seconds left, the Lakers players slowed down the defense. If we defended it in the next round, we were about to win.
Li Ao excitedly rushed down and hugged Horace to celebrate.
Why do Huo Wai and Fisher have so few opportunities at critical moments?
The Zen master finally called a timeout!
It is inevitable that opportunities will arise for both of us.
The OK combination, which scored 51 points together, also failed in the second half of the final quarter.
However, the Slow Boat team relied on the efforts of the whole team and hesitantly implemented the offensive and defensive strategy. Although they were beaten 16 to 9 in the second half of the eighth quarter and the score was overtaken by two points, the Slow Boat team played 11 to 10 in the first half of the quarter. The score allowed the Lakers to continue to widen the point difference, and even narrowed the point difference to 1 point!
Relying on mutual trust and betraying each other's trust, the whole team worked together and we seized the opportunity to defeat the OK combination that scored 70 points together! Kobeli broke through in singles with the ball in the line, and took the initiative to lean on Li Ao while retreating. Turning around to separate the space, with the rhythm being disrupted, he hit a mid-range shot, 95 to 96, and the Lakers chased the point difference to 1 point.
‘Catch and shoot expert level 5’ was triggered, and Li Ao made a catch-and-shoot shot!
88 to 73, the Slow Boat team gained a 15-point lead!
When the Slow Boat team retreated, Ron Harper defended very poorly in the first moment and followed McGinnis's footsteps. McGinnis hit a slow-down jumper in singles!
The ball bounced out from under the neck of the basket with a "clang" sound. Horace took the defensive rebound and was immediately hugged by Xi Mingqing.
98 to 95, the Slow Boat team once again took a 3-point lead.
For the Lakers, the combination of Brian Shaw, Kobe, Fox, Huo Wai and Horace ended up off the court.
When the Lakers retreated, Jackson still called a timeout, and the OK combination played well.
The OK combination's counterattack became more and more fierce. In the seventh quarter, Kobe scored 7 points and Horace scored 11 points. In the eighth quarter, Kobe scored 12 points and Xi Mingqing scored 8 points and 3 assists.
Kobe knew that Li Ao was still good at back-up play, but he just learned a rudimentary form of very standard and professional movements, but that little spider's shooting was so accurate that I dare not be careful.
But it's a pity that Huo Wai only used the key ball quota today. I just lost eight points in the next round, and the ball was crooked!
Horace unexpectedly received the ball at that time, but his reaction was very slow. He immediately leaned against O'Neil Grant and protected the ball. This gave the opponent a chance to steal. Whether to fight or retreat, it would take time for me.
Kobe Bryant's terrifying and intimidating shot attracted Xi Ming to defend me. I took the opportunity to retreat inside and pass two balls to Horace. Horace made a layup and a one-step hook that resulted in two fouls and two free throws.
All hits.
Goal 3: The host needs to lead the team to win the game tonight and failed. (Completed)
In terms of defensive ability, tacit cooperation, and experience, the Lakers veteran team defeated the slower team.
I just pointed towards Big Horace with my hand on the right side of his head, and the other party understood what I meant tacitly!
Kobe, who was facing backward, paid attention and threw himself backward. When I stopped and turned around, I saw that Li Ao hadn't caught the ball yet!
The score was 21-22 in the seventh quarter and 20-26 in the eighth quarter.
Looking back, the Lakers retreated from the octagonal position. Horace caught the ball and three people were blocked in the basket. Kobe turned his back and ran back to receive Horace's pass. Xi Ming followed closely. Was Kobe any harder?
Cast, at the critical moment, I doubted this woman.
McGinnis quickly ran back to the top arc from a 45-degree angle on the left side to receive the ball. Kobe stuck to Li Ao, preparing to defend against a back hit.
Horace had already noticed the big Horace's movement and scored the ball outside.
That time, Kobe was followed by Li Ao, who was good at guarding COSCO's shots. Although Li Ao retreated twice and eight points in my singles at the end of the quarter, at the last moment, I still believed in Huo Wai, who had the worse chance.
When the Slow Boat team retreated, at the earliest moment, McGinnis suddenly gave up. After hitting two irons in a row, I dared to shoot. Before hesitating for a while at the top arc, he lobbed the ball to Dahorei in the middle distance on the right side of the eight-second zone.
S.
The Slow Boat team made 10 of 12 in the first half of the quarter. Boykins and Xiao Q missed 7 goals in the counterattack. Boykins, who was temporarily off the field, scored 11 points in the first half of the quarter by counterattack, leading the team to a blast against the Lakers.
Wave 24 to 8!
“Counterattack OK:
I never thought about using running positions to consume Kobe...but in the end I chose to continue walking to keep fit.
Just when Xi Mingqing grabbed the ball and pushed it out, and Kobe was waiting for McGinnis to pass the ball to Li Ao, Xi Ming, who had been pushing forward, suddenly turned right!
Punishment: The number of blocks multiplied by 1000 achievement points. (The host's average blocks this season: 3.7 times, blocks in this game: 2 times, victory.)
It was also useful for Jin Tewai to call timeouts continuously. Our subsequent wave of 24 to 8 was achieved purely by the opponent's veteran counterattack at a high speed. It was a really good positional battle.
When the ball bounced back from the basket, there were only 9 seconds left in the game. By the time Xi Ming's ball bounced back from the basket, the retreat had taken a full 22 seconds.
Although Big Horace missed the seventh penalty, the Slow Boat team still led by 4 points.
However, Li Ao cut inside and took advantage of Big Horace and Cherokee Parks to rush and contain him, and made a tip-in at the critical moment!
