Chapter 128 [Something happened!]

The Heat kept their lineup unchanged after the timeout.

The game has reached this level, and there is no need to change anymore. The Heat's bench is pitifully weak, and Pat Riley cannot let them come up to play in the crucial fourth quarter.

So even though the first team encountered problems, they still had to solve them themselves.

Heat offense.

This time, after Gary Payton dribbled the ball past half court, he stopped actively looking for Wade.

He dribbled the ball and allowed Haslem inside to come out to pick and roll for him.

Is this a pick-and-roll tactic?

Lu Yusheng was a little confused. If someone else initiated the pick-and-roll tactic, it would be okay, but Gary Payton took the initiative to initiate the pick-and-roll, which was really hard to understand.

After all, when a point guard loses his shot, the pick-and-roll is almost useless.

When the opponent is defending, just shrink in. Since you don't know how to shoot anyway, it's impossible for the opponent to switch defenses.

Just like Lu Yusheng's previous games, when the opponent targeted his unstable shooting, it was impossible for him to use his pick-and-roll.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng could not judge for a while why the Heat arranged for Gary Payton to play pick-and-roll tactics.

Of course, Lu Yusheng was not sluggish either. He was worried that Pat Riley might have hidden tricks.

When Payton and Haslem were picking and rolling, Lu Yusheng and Odom had a clear understanding and retreated directly.

Payton was a little surprised. There was no one in front of him and there was no one to defend him.

Payton was very hesitant, but while hesitating, Lu Yusheng had already filled in.

Now Payton has no chance even if he wants to shoot.

Commentator William Jones said, "I really don't understand the tactics laid out by the Heat during this timeout. Asking Payton to initiate a pick-and-roll tactic is impossible to have any effect. No, the tactic is dead again. It's just."

I can leave it to Shaq inside to solve the problem."

Larry Bird said, "Maybe...this tactic...may not have been arranged by Pat Riley. I guess when Pat Riley called the timeout just now, he probably didn't arrange any tactics. He might have just sprayed Wade."

A meal.”

"Why?"

"He must have angrily rebuked Wade for his negative attitude. Now Pat Riley has no options. In fact, he has been focusing on Shaq and Wade. When O'Neal loses his strength at this point,

In the end, all he could count on was Wade, but Wade was a little passive at this time, and he must have gotten angry."

"So I bet that the timeout called by Pat Riley just now was purely to teach Wade a lesson and cheer him up, but it seems that it didn't achieve very good results, so Payton had to fight on his own.

Already."

On the court, after O'Neal received the ball, Bynum still defended one-on-one. Facing the one-on-one defense, O'Neal tried his best to push it in, and finally managed to tie it up.

But the problem is that this goal was really difficult to score. Everyone can see that he is already exhausted.

And back to the Lakers' first offensive possession after a timeout.

From the beginning, everyone was surprised.

Kobe stood at the center of the free throw line to catch the ball, replacing Walton's previous position as the tactical axis in the triangle offense!

This has never happened before!

William Jones said, "Kobe stood there to support me. This is something I didn't expect.

We all know that in Jackson's triangle offense, both Jordan and O'Neal have played this role.

But Kobe has never played the role of a tactical pivot. Everyone has heard that it is because Kobe doesn't like passing the ball, so he is unwilling to play that role.

It is also said that his coordination ability is too poor, and the Zen master is unwilling to let him play that role, but no matter what the reason is, it is really the first time I have seen him standing there to provide support!"

Larry Bird laughed and said, "Both of these statements are ridiculous. There is no top star who can't pass the ball, not to mention he is also a defender.

I think the reason why Master Jackson rarely lets him go to that position is mainly because he wants to make more use of his offensive talents.

The reason why Zen Master asked Kobe to be the central pivot of the tactics at this time is probably because he wanted to win this game, and by the way, he wanted to try the effect of this tactic. You know, if Kobe gets the ball in that position, it is very important to the Heat.

, is a big threat in itself, so it is easier for the rest of the Lakers to run out of space."

Sure enough, when Kobe got the ball and started to provide support, other Heat players began to hesitate whether to help defend. During the hesitation, Lu Yusheng and Walton ran out of the space at the same time!

Kobe hesitated for a moment and passed it to Lu Yusheng.

Because Lu Yusheng's chances are better.

After Lu Yusheng got the ball, he made a fake shot, and Haslem was directly kicked away!

Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball inward!

There is no other way, O'Neal can only save the defense!

Lu Yusheng used his signature face-to-face small throw. O'Neal only extended his hand symbolically and was unable to interfere with Lu Yusheng's shooting at all.

Easily scored!!

"Lu played very smartly," William Jones said. "Since O'Neal is tired, he has lost the ability to protect the basket and plays inside. That is the best effect."

"Yes, with O'Neal's current physical strength, leaving him on the court is actually a side effect, but Pat Riley has no good solution. In fact, in the first half, he had already allowed O'Neal to get a lot of rest.

Time, but when the game reaches a critical moment, his physical strength is still not enough. You can't replace your main player at a critical moment, right?" Larry Bird said.

"Yes, this is indeed a problem."

"It's not a problem, it's a big problem." Larry Bird said, "I can say this, if the Heat cannot solve this problem with Shaq, then it may be difficult to defend the title this season, really."

"Their three-game winning streak has indeed concealed a lot of problems. Now think about it, the teams they won before were actually weak teams. Now when they encounter a mid-range team like the Lakers, the problems will be immediately revealed. I hope that through this game

The ball can attract their attention." William Jones said.

"Oh, Jones, I don't agree with you."

"oh?"

"As far as the strength shown by the Lakers in this game is concerned, I don't think they are only in the middle of the league. The level and resilience they showed on both offense and defense in this game are definitely at the level of the upper reaches of the league.

." Larry Bird said.

"Do you have such a high opinion of them?" William Jones said, "We just said that this season, the Lakers' management has done nothing and has not found decent helpers for Kobe. With the current lineup of the Lakers,

Are you sure they can become a top team in the league?"

"Before the start of the fourth quarter, I was not sure, but now, I am extremely sure." Larry Bird said confidently, "Yes, they did not have any good signings this offseason, but

That doesn't mean Kobe doesn't have good helpers this season."

"I understand, you mean, Lu will become Kobe's best helper?"

"certainly."

"But he is still just a rookie. In these four games, it is undeniable that he has played well, but he is also very unstable and has a period of struggle. Moreover, in the first few games, his shooting was not stable either.

After all, he is still just a rookie, are you sure he can become Kobe's best helper this season?"

"Of course, I have no doubt about it."

Larry Bird said firmly, "I have indeed not watched Lu's previous games, but what he showed in this game is something I haven't seen from a rookie in many years. His understanding of tactics and adaptability.

It’s not something a rookie can possess at all, but that’s not what surprises me the most about him.

What surprised me the most was that in the fourth quarter and almost the entire third quarter, he was penetrated by Wade in various ways. How much psychological pressure this kind of blow would cause. Only those who have played professionally

Only players understand, but he overcame it and still took the initiative to challenge Wade in the fourth quarter. This kind of mental quality is what surprised me about him."

"Yeah, at that time we all thought that Lu would be the one who broke the psychological defense, but we didn't expect that the first one to break the psychological defense was Wade." William Jones said with a smile.

"Yes, so, Jones, believe me, this kid, just this season, will shock the league, become Kobe's helper, and make the Lakers make a qualitative leap." Larry Bird said.

"Although you are my idol, it is really hard for me to believe how much a rookie can lead the team to achieve in his first season. After all, even Michael Jordan didn't

Do it.”

Although William Jones admired Lu Yusheng, he still couldn't believe Larry Bird's predictions.

Larry Bird laughed and stopped arguing with him on this matter. He just said, "Jones, if he does it one day this year, please tell everyone on your show that I, Larry Bird

, made such a prediction as early as his fourth game."

…

Back to the game.

When Kobe stood in the low post and started to provide support, the Heat had no way to deal with it.

In fact, by the time the fight reaches this level, their minds have long since dispersed. Even if they have a way to deal with it, the players on the field have long lost their ability to execute tactics.

While the Heat were passive on both offense and defense, the Lakers were full of momentum. They had completely taken over the momentum and psychological advantage!

Soon, they quickly widened the point difference.

106:94

The Lakers lead by 12 points!

"It seems that this game is as you expected. The Heat probably have no hope of getting back." William Jones said.

"They have probably given up mentally," Larry Bird said. "As expected, at the next timeout, the Heat will probably put on the bench and surrender."

Sure enough, as soon as Larry Bird finished speaking, the Heat's bench stood up and got ready to play.

However, no one thought that something would happen at this moment...
