O'Brien is the only true core of this Lakers. He is restricted, and the Lakers are missing the most important offensive point.
Eddie Jones is nicknamed "Stable Eddie". This nickname can clearly reflect his style. Stability is not a bad thing, but stability often means a lack of explosive scoring power.
Jones contributes 15 to 20 points steadily every night. Any more will cause back pain and is beyond his capabilities.
Crazy Fan is even more unreliable. He is really strong when he is crazy. However, he can only be crazy for three or four games in a season. Most of the time, he should not be called Crazy Fan, but Blind Fan. He shoots like crazy.
With three minutes left in the first quarter, Lakers coach Silver Fox Harris called a timeout. He replaced starting small forward Kersey and replaced him with young Kobe Bryant, letting swingman Jones play the three. position, Kobe took the second position.
Of course, Lin Yu didn't care about this arrangement. Could it be that the Silver Fox expected Kobe, who had just turned eighteen, to reverse the situation on the court?
If he really had such immediate combat power, it wouldn't be the Lakers' turn to take it. The Philadelphia 76ers would have selected him with the No. 1 pick.
"Uh-huh!"
When Kobe came on the court, he was like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Facing Jaylen Rose, he hit a pull-up three-pointer and hit the net.
Waiting until the next round, Kobe broke through with the ball from the outside, almost drifted and shot backwards in mid-air, and also fouled Jaylen Rose, making the score 2+1!
This is not over yet. With seven seconds left in the first quarter, the ball passed to Jaylen Rose was intercepted by Kobe. Then he went down alone and completed the burst in front of Jaylen Rose. buckle.
After the first quarter of the game, Lin Yu was confused and looked at Jaylen Rose with strange eyes. This guy is indeed a bit evil!
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, that boy was so lucky."
The originally advantageous game was disrupted by Kobe. The Lakers led by three points, and Jaylen Rose apologized to his teammates with a full face.
If Lin Yu didn't know that Jaylen Rose was outscored by 81 points by Kobe, he might have thought that Kobe was just lucky.
"This kid is indeed capable. He can still have such luck in front of you, Jinx. He can almost be said to be the son of destiny."
Howard said neither yin nor yang.
Ever since Jaylen Rose came, he hasn't shown much kindness to Jaylen Rose.
"Coach, this is all an accident. We have now found a way to limit Shaq. We will win this game!"
"Let Jaylen fight for a while longer. I believe he can find a way to deal with that kid."
Weber stood up to plead for his good brother. His tone this time was much gentler than the last time he pleaded for Chaney.
Lin Yu nodded. He didn't believe in evil either. He thought it might just be that Kobe had a good touch.
After all, Kobe played many efficient games as a substitute in his rookie season. For example, in this year's game against the Warriors, he took 11 shots and scored 24 points.
Lin Yu first let Jaylen Rose rest for a few minutes at the beginning of the second quarter, and then came on the court halfway through the second quarter.
Kobe never came off the court. He was facing off against his Uncle Tim during this half of the quarter. His offensive efficiency could only be said to be average, far less exaggerated than in the last few minutes of the first quarter.
After Jaylen Rose came on the court, Kobe immediately felt like he was on fire. He caught Jaylen Rose and beat him to death. He made various breakthrough shots and his scoring skyrocketed.
The second quarter wasn't even over yet, and Lin Yu was speechless looking at his side's 11-point deficit.
Not to mention, there are some things that you can’t believe in. Jaylen Rose is really the unlucky guy chosen by nature. Even the young Kobe Bryant, who even Legler could restrain a little bit, was completely blown away.
"No, this is very wrong!"
"That kid scored 22 points on my head in the half?!"
Jaylen Rose is going crazy. This is his first game with the Bullets. He was blasted like this by an 18-year-old boy. He feels that even if he is sent to the Development League overnight, he will not be aggrieved.
"Ahem, you took a flight all night last night. It's normal for you to be out of shape."
"Get a good rest in the second half. As long as Ben and I can control Shaq, we still have a chance to win this game."
Even Weber was embarrassed to continue letting his good brother play.
Lin Yu secretly sighed that Webber was really a good candidate to be a brother. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jaylen Rose was completely beaten, and Webber could still tell lies to make excuses for his brother.
At the beginning of the second half, as Jaylen Rose was put on the bench, Kobe's condition was not so hot.
Harvey's physical energy was exhausted a lot, and he started to block and kill again in the second half. Unfortunately, O'Fa and Campbell were at odds with each other at the basket. He couldn't attack the basket too frequently tonight, but he didn't have the ability to make three-pointers. , can only rely on mid-range shots to score points.
The Bullets were chasing points, and it was very difficult to do so. They waited until there was only one minute left in the fourth quarter. Not only were they still trailing by three points, but the ball was still in the hands of the Lakers. It seemed that the game was over.
Lin Yu did not give up resistance. This victory was too important for the Bullets.
Two-thirds of the regular season has passed. If the Bullets end up with only eighth place in the Eastern Conference, there will actually be no difference between them entering the playoffs and not, because they will face the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. !
Therefore, by winning every victory possible and improving the Eastern Conference rankings as much as possible, it is possible for Lin Yu's big words to become a reality, that is, to meet the Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals.
In addition, defeating a wealthy team like the Lakers can also greatly boost the team's morale.
Lin Yu still had two timeouts in his hands, one long timeout and one short timeout. He used the short timeout to call the players on the field to his side.
"Chris, next is the Lakers' round. It's time to test your acting skills."
"Let them get the ball into Shaq's hands, but not so hard that they realize it's a trap."
Lin Yu whispered to Weber.
Weber understood what Lin Yu meant, which was to use foul tactics at the last minute.
In the last two minutes of the game, you cannot foul a player without the ball, otherwise the opponent will get two free throws plus the ball, which is two free throws and one throw.
Using foul tactics against other Lakers players, their free throw shooting percentage is too high. If two free throws are missed, then this foul tactic will not be worth the gain.
And using foul tactics against O'Pang, who is terrible at free throws, is undoubtedly the most cost-effective deal.
"Ben, the moment Shaq catches the ball, immediately send him to the free throw line. Don't give him a chance to take action. Be careful of being beaten 2+1!"
Lin Yu gave another order to the boss.
Big Ben is the key. If he fails to seize the opportunity and allows O'Pang to hit 2+1, then the Bullets' game will be completely gone.
After the timeout, players from both sides returned to the court.
Crazy Fan wastes time holding the ball on the outside. The Lakers have the advantage and are not in a hurry to attack.
When this offensive round lasted nearly 20 seconds, the Lakers players in positions 2, 3 and 4 quickly started running without the ball.
Weber looked stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and chased Campbell.
Crazy Fan looked happy, the opportunity had come. In this game, because he was afraid of Weber's chipping, he didn't feed Ao Pang much. Now the opportunity finally came.
He made a long direct pass and threw the ball to O'Pang.
Aopang was also secretly happy. In a one-on-one situation, why should Ben defend himself?
His smile stopped for a second, and Ben directly hugged him with his arms. Then the referee's whistle sounded, and O'Pang was sent to the free throw line.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two free throws in a row shocked the Silver Fox to the point of changing their expressions. Then when the Bullets got the ball, they wouldn't have made a three-pointer, right? Then the two sides would be even.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. This foul tactic worked and the Bullets still had a slight chance.
After missing two free throws, the Bullets started to attack. Under Lin Yu's urging, he passed the ball to Harvey in the frontcourt. Harvey scored two points in the mid-range shot.
Although the Bullets scored a goal, Silver Fox Harris's expression became much more relaxed. It's not just a three-pointer, but a two-pointer is not fatal.
The score difference is only one point, but the Lakers have the ball and there are only 29 seconds left in the game. As long as the Lakers continue to delay time, there will not be much time left for the Bullets.
Madman Fan was still controlling the ball in the frontcourt, spending time leisurely. After 20 seconds of this round, he directly changed direction with the ball, rushed to the left side of the speeding car, and then took a step forward to shoot a mid-range shot.
"boom!"
The ball didn't go in, but O'Pang under the basket had already seized the spot of the rebound.
Seeing that O'Fatty had collected the rebound and was about to turn around and dunk at any time, Big Ben struck out decisively, hugged O'Fatty with his arms, and sent O'Fatty to the free throw line.
"boom!"
"Uh-huh!"
O'Pang's average free throw shooting rate per game this season is 49.1%. This time he performed his free throws normally, making one of two free throws.
"Remember this free throw, it killed your bullet!"
After O'Pang made the free throw, he didn't forget to mock his boss.
Theoretically speaking, his free throw does have a high chance of killing the Bullets, because Ben has already committed six fouls with the foul just now. Even if the Bullets hit two points in the next five seconds, the game will be over. It was dragged into overtime and Ben could not continue to play. Ao Pang could wash away the bullets by himself.
Of course, if the Bullets can hit a three-pointer next, the situation will be different.
It's a pity that we don't pay attention to three-pointers in this year, and the team is only two points away from entering overtime. No head coach will be crazy enough to fight for three-pointers. The uncertainty of three-pointers is really too great.
Therefore, Aopang has determined that he will definitely have the last laugh in this game.
Lin Yu hurriedly used the last pause in his hand, and now his plan could only place his hope on the aura of "Fusion".
