Chapter 92 [It has no effect]
After Lu Yusheng came on the court, the ball belonged to the Lakers in the first round!
Lu Yusheng dribbled the ball past half court.
Walton hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether Lu Yusheng would continue to play triangle offense or use pick-and-roll tactics after coming up.
Lu Yusheng saw his dilemma and directly signaled him to drop the ball and start a triangle attack.
After all, when Kobe is on the court, he will naturally take the lead and play the tactics he is familiar with.
After Walton received the ball, he began to provide support.
Lu Yusheng started running, and he gave Kobe an off-ball screen, blocking Ray Allen who was guarding him.
However, the Sonics were clearly prepared for the Lakers' triangle offense after the timeout. When Lu Yusheng was covering, Ray Allen stopped following and instead switched defense directly with Lu Yusheng's defender, Luke Ridnour.
Ray Allen defended Lu Yusheng, while Luke Ridnour defended Kobe.
Although there was no screen for Kobe to create an open space, Kobe faced the opponent's No. 1 position, Luke Ridnour, who was only 1.88 meters tall.
For Kobe, this is basically a completely empty space.
Walton didn't hesitate and lobbed the ball directly to Kobe.
Kobe faced Luke Ridnour with the ball near the three-point line.
Luke Ridnour actively used small steps to defend, preventing Kobe from easily breaking through.
Ray Allen and Lewis on both sides are subconsciously leaning towards Kobe. If Kobe tries to break through, they are always ready to cover the defense!
Kobe was a triple threat, but Luke Ridnour moved quickly and didn't get caught.
Lu Yusheng thought that in this situation, Kobe would push him in with his back. After all, as a white point guard, Luke Ridnour's height and strength were completely at a disadvantage in front of Kobe.
But unexpectedly, Kobe suddenly started, took a step to the right, and directly passed Luke Ridnour half way!
This terrifying first step!
Luke Ridnour and the help defenders had no time to react.
After passing Luke Ridnour, Kobe didn't continue to break through and directly pulled up for a mid-range shot.
Score in!
Commentator Stan Doyle said, "I don't quite understand the Sonics' defensive strategy on this ball. Why do they need to make substitutions? Let Luke Ridnour, who is obviously lacking in height and strength, face Kobe. Isn't this just giving away points?
"
Mark Jackson said, "The problem is, the off-ball screen that Lu just gave to Kobe was very solid. If the SuperSonics didn't change defense, Kobe might have just shot it and scored more easily. There are two bottles of poison, you always have to choose one. Relatively speaking,
Yan, I think their strategy just now is better, after all, it still creates a little difficulty."
Standall smiled, "But it may not be too difficult for Kobe. In previous games, opponents would design many defensive tactics against Kobe, but today it seems that the Sonics did not do so.
, although they are currently leading by a big score, Kobe himself has already scored ten points."
"I guess Coach Bob Hill's strategy for the Sonics in this game is to develop their own offense. As for Kobe, you can't defend him anyway, so you won't be targeting him at all."
Mark Jackson said, "So far, I think this strategy is still effective. Although Kobe scored almost all the Lakers' points, the SuperSonics opened up their own three-pointers and took a big lead. They are a team that relies heavily on three-pointers.
, which is important to them.”
Back on the court, the Lakers' defensive round.
The Sonics had scored consecutively in several rounds before this, stopping the Lakers. Therefore, it is crucial to be able to limit their touch in the first round after the timeout!
After Luke Ridnour dribbled the ball across half court, he watched his teammates' movements from all directions.
Lu Yusheng observed carefully off the court. Luke Ridnour rarely took the initiative to break through. Under normal circumstances, he was always ready to pass the ball to his teammates unless his teammates had no chance at all.
Therefore, what Lu Yusheng has to do is to try to interfere with and limit his passing.
However, the passing skills of such white point guards are very strong, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult to restrict them.
Sure enough, Luke Ridnour soon spotted Lewis coming out of the corner through a screen and passed the ball directly while dribbling with his left hand!
After Lewis caught the ball, he made a three-pointer without hesitation!
Luke Walton has tried his best to catch this ball and made a jump to interfere!
But Lewis has obviously shown confidence in his shot at this moment. This shot was still made despite the interference of Luke Walton!
"Beautiful shot!" Mark Jackson said, "I have always been curious. In fact, Rashard Lewis's shooting movement is not standard and a little awkward, but I don't know why it is so accurate."
This shot made Kobe even more annoyed. He asked Luke Walton, "Why are you giving him such a big open space? Can you focus a little more?"
Luke Walton felt aggrieved, "I was blocked. I tried my best to pounce..."
Kobe probably didn't pay attention, but Lu Yusheng saw clearly that the ball was actually Odom's fault. When the opponent's power forward set a pick-and-roll for Lewis, he should have switched defenses, but he didn't.
The strategy formulated before the game is to guard against their three-pointers, especially with Lewis and Ray Allen, who switch defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls. There must be people in front of the pitcher, but this guy Odom doesn't know why in this game.
I had no concentration at all, it was almost like I was sleepwalking.
Even though Kobe has gotten angry once, this guy still seems to be absent-minded, and his movement speed is surprisingly slow. Whether it is defense or offense, it seems to be half a beat slower than usual.
Lu Yusheng estimated that Khloe Kardashian put too much pressure on him last night.
Back to the Lakers' offensive round, the opportunity happened to be in Odom's hands.
As soon as he took the shot, Lu Yusheng felt that he was short and hurriedly rushed to the basket!
Lu Yusheng's prediction was correct. The ball was indeed short, and the direction it bounced was right at Lu Yusheng's side.
Lu Yusheng easily picked up an offensive rebound.
The SuperSonics' inside line quickly came over to defend. Lu Yusheng was unable to attack and could only pass the ball to Walton's hands outside.
After the news was passed, he hurried out to respond and prepared to organize another strategy.
But Kobe also wanted the ball, so Walton could only pass it to Kobe.
After Kobe got the ball, he directly hit Ray Allen alone!
During the SuperSonics era, Ray Allen was still a bit defensive. After all, he was still the boss of the team at that time.
Kobe made several fake moves while dribbling, but Ray Allen did not falter and remained firmly in front of Kobe!
Seeing that time was running out, Kobe could only make a strong shot against Ray Allen!
This ball...
Still score!
Although the goal was scored, Lu Yusheng was not happy at all.
In the few rounds after he and Kobe came on the court, not only did the Lakers' problems on the defensive end fail to be solved, but the offensive end was also the same, relying on Kobe's personal ability to support it.
Except for the offensive rebound just now, he himself did not display much value, and there was no spark between him and Kobe.
Moreover, compare the current status of other Lakers teammates with the status of SuperSonics players.
I'm afraid this game is a bit suspense...
