In the second quarter, in the rotation battle, for the long-term plan, Mike Brown tried to let PJ Tucker play to solve the Lakers' power forward problem.
A lineup of Muhammad, PJ Tucker, Artest, Su Bei and Paul was arranged.
For the Kings, Keith Smart lined up Jason Thompson, Hayes, John Salmons, Marcus Thornton and Little Black Bean Brooks.
The Kings have a good lineup. In terms of offensive attributes, Salmons, Thornton, and Brooks all scored 20+ points at their peak.
In terms of defense, the backcourt combination of Brooks + Thornton is shabby.
Let's put it this way, the two of them can compete with the double leakage combination of Curry + Ellis in the backcourt.
The second quarter started with the Kings attacking the ball.
"Brooks took the ball to the frontcourt and acted as a reckless man. He was also 183... No, even the little black bean was more talented. He was thinner, faster, and had a lower center of gravity. He rushed in.
However, with Paul’s pressing, it was impossible to reach the end.
Unable to reach the bottom, Brooks pulled up and shot... No, Paul's defense was too tight and he almost knocked off the basketball cap.
With no choice, Brooks could only pass the blame to Jason Thompson under the basket. The latter threw the damn basketball to the right three-point corner. John Salmons raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper... …”
Artest was careless. As Brooks's former Rockets teammate, he bet that Brooks would fight on his own. Unexpectedly, he guessed the beginning but the wrong end.
Who would have thought that Brooks was so useless and Paul had such an obvious advantage in defending 183. He was forced to pass the ball unexpectedly, which made Artest reckless and shrink back to defend the basket, which turned into a bad move. He was fine at the time, but he was too slow and couldn't go back, so he could only listen to the gunshots.
Swish——!
Got it!
39 to 28! !
“John Salmons just came in and hit a 3-pointer.
This is not surprising. After all, if it were not for injuries, he would be the Kings' starting small forward.
Now he is on the bench to find his status. If you underestimate him, it is very likely that you will be given a script to reduce the dimensionality and attack..."
36 to 28! !
The score difference became 8 points.
Except, Mike Brown is not panicking.
The question is that he doesn't care about the Kings scoring because they don't score as much as the Lakers.
Paul + Su Bei, against the Kings' double leaky backcourt, have the advantage on our side of the lake.
On the court, Paul forced Brooks, entered easily, and finished.
"Hayes swept over, but Paul missed the shot at the basket. He passed the ball behind Hayes and found P.J. Tucker in the left three-point corner..."
After catching the ball and jumping up, P.J. Tucker, who had been practicing in Europe for three years and three years, shot a three-pointer that he dared to return to play in the NBA.
Hayes relies on defense, but he can't go back. He can only bet that the unknown PJ Tucker's three-point pistol has no bullets.
Swish——!
Wrong guess, there are bullets in PJ Tucker's three-point pistol.
The knife fell from the hand, and the three-pointer hit the net.
After scoring, Tucker immediately rushed back to prepare for defense.
Snapped--!
When passing halftime, Paul and Tucker, the "young" pair, high-fived and celebrated, a high-five and a look, all without words.
Su Bei smiled and patted Tucker on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"You are indeed destined to be a role player!
If you had listened to me earlier, you would have saved yourself 10 years of detours. "
"..."
Tucker was speechless.
When they were playing against each other in college, he only thought that Su Bei was talking nonsense because of his mentality, but he didn't expect that Su Bei actually had a sharp eye for discernment.
If he listens to the advice and doesn't always want to be a star player, he will indeed save 10 years of detours.
How many decades are there in life?
I am so silly!
In transition between offense and defense, Brooks couldn't beat Paul.
Hayes' offense is too useless, it is difficult for Jason Thompson to catch the ball, and he cannot attack in the low post.
Salmons now focuses on 3D, mainly off the ball, with Artest watching the defense.
There was no choice but to hand over the damn basketball to Marcus Thornton and challenge Su Bei with the ball.
Subei's defense is also very difficult.
But it doesn't matter.
At this time, Thornton only had eyes for the basket and the goal.
Two years ago, he averaged 21 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.
A year ago, his numbers were 19 points and 4 rebounds.
Playing as the sixth man this season, he only has 13 points and 3.5 rebounds left. Wang Xiaoer's performance during the New Year is not as good as the previous year.
He needs a chance to get his lost dream of becoming a superstar.
Bang bang bang, bang bang—!
He kept speeding up his dribbling rhythm, his mind was racing, and then he became reckless.
"Going in, Su Bei fought and retreated until Paul and Artelast came to help defend.
What the hell?
The anxious party was Thornton. Without waiting for the Lakers to set up a zone defense and a pincer attack, he pulled out the ball and shot before the breakthrough was complete. He raised his hand and shot a pull-up fadeaway jumper..."
Su Bei flew out quickly, as if he had predicted Thornton's offensive move, and jumped up almost at the same time, with five palms covering the front of the basketball like a shadow.
Thornton didn't want to miss any scoring opportunity. Even if it wasn't a good scoring opportunity, he had to press forward. He gritted his teeth and leaned back, trying to avoid Subei Wuzhishan's block, but found that no matter how he raised his head, he couldn't avoid it. It was too late to change the shot to a pass.
Snapped--!
"Nice shot!
Su Bei blurred the basketball with one palm. This was talent crushing.
Ayton is 1.93 meters tall. No matter how much he leans back, he can never avoid Su Bei's 2-meter height advantage in blocking shots. With excellent prediction, what can you use to shoot?
Ayton reluctantly fell back and was blocked, and even knocked the ball to the ground. This was a beautiful blocking defense. Su Bei defended the opponent's attack, picked up the basketball and immediately switched from defense to offense, launching a quick counterattack..."
Accelerate quickly, take two steps in three, and rush to the front court. Only the basketball hoop is left in front of you... No, there is still Brooks who is less than 183, but dares to report 183.
Su Bei suddenly stopped and changed direction, avoiding Brooks' steal. Then, he stepped over the ball to adjust before breaking through.
Brooks lost his best opportunity to steal and had to fight and retreat, acting like he didn't want to come over.
But Su Bei was like a killer with no emotion, rushing towards the penalty area, holding a torch and rushing to the basket for a challenge!
Swish——!
"Yes!
Su Bei's counterattack is successful!
It’s just using height to bully people. It’s not very harmful, but it’s extremely insulting..."
With a loss of 183, what else do you need on defense?
No matter how hard you try, you can prevent loneliness!
Brooks was helpless and looked dead.
Returning to the offensive round, Brooks came to life again. The frontcourt did not intend to single out Paul, but played an outside pick-and-roll screen with Thornton.
"What is Brooks doing?
It turns out that I picked Su Bei from the list and saw how Su Bei defended. It was just a matter of pressing and engaging in physical confrontation.
Brooks fought and retreated, widened the distance, and immediately changed direction and accelerated the breakthrough. Subei could only fight and retreat.
Entering the three-point line, Brooks dribbled the ball behind his back and pulled it back to the three-point line, raised the ball, raised his hand and took a three-pointer..."
Su Bei was shaken one meter away, and it was too late to pounce. His speed and flexibility were too obvious, so he could only do his best to pounce and interfere, and then listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
"The opportunity came up, but Brooks' ability to pick out the list didn't work.
Three-point shot, Xiangyan-shooting Su Bei sent it..."
"The basketball was picked off by Tucker, and he immediately passed the ball to Paul, accelerating and running.
It's a pity that it didn't work. The Kings have a small lineup with one big and four small, and the speed advantage is on their side.
You can't win by running and gunning, you have to stay in position and fight.
OMG!
This is very reasonable. Paul copied the homework in person and also played a pick-and-roll tactic with Su Bei, sending Brooks, who was 183, in front of Su Bei.
It was also a roll call, and Brooks was obviously panicked.
Su Bei made a fake shot that was really sudden, just like walking on the street in the early morning, passing Brooks and reaching the paint area. The Kings knew that Brooks could not be guarded, but they could not have guessed that they would lose so quickly..."
Su Bei went in and shot.
Use a mediocre lob to send the basketball into the basket.
Su Bei scored 4 points in a row, helping the Lakers gain a 15-point lead 43-28.
Off the court, Keith Smart looked solemn, but he was not panicking inside.
After all, if there was a double leak in the backcourt, he would have already prepared it!
Either defeat the opponent or be defeated.
The Kings can only go so far!
If the bench lineup can't be a boost, he will have to rely on the main force. It's not that he can't compare.
On the court, with a natural loss of 183, Brooks was able to make a name for himself in the NBA. He won the Most Improved Award and averaged a rounded 20+ per game, which is still something.
Dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, he didn't name Su Bei again, but just pulled up and shot in front of Paul.
Swish——!
"Yes!
This was a completely unreasonable three-point shot. If it went in, Paul could only accept his fate!
After all, God is on his side with this kind of ball..."
The score is 43 to 31! !
The point difference became 12 points.
The Kings continued their life with three points.
The Lakers still didn't care, the rhythm and direction of the game fell on their side.
"Come again!
Let’s continue the homework we just copied!
Paul and Su Bei covered the outside and sent Brooks to Su Bei.
Su Bei received the ball and was about to shoot a three-pointer. Thornton rushed over and flanked Su Bei with Brooks.
A very nice choice. Instead of making waves, Su Bei cut the basketball into the paint and into the hands of Paul, who was unguarded.
At the free throw line, Paul tested the Kings defense with a mid-range shot..."
Swish——!
How can a defense without defense stand the test!
Paul easily taught the Kings how to behave with his mid-range shot.
45 to 31! !
The point difference becomes 14 points!
Next, the Kings' offense continued to score. However, the Lakers didn't understand defense, and neither did the Kings. The two sides entered a stalemate.
Seeing Paul and Su Bei of the Lakers, they continued to play music, and then ordered Brooks.
However, Brooks is useless defensively, has poor abilities, and is causing trouble. He deserves to be targeted.
With no choice, the Kings could only make a substitution and replace Brooks with Jimmer Fredette.
"The 1.88 meter Jimmer Redet is a second-year rookie who is also strong in offense and weak in defense.
Are the Kings going to have some training..."
Not to mention, there is something good about Jimmerredet being selected with the tenth overall pick in the first round of 2011.
Although he is equally good at defense, his inside-and-out shooting not only allows him to score by himself, but also assists his teammates in shooting, driving them to score.
The Kings' offense continued.
The Lakers didn't care, and began to adjust the lineup, replacing Kobe, Gasol and Blake on the court, Su Bei, Paul, and Muhammad off the line. They still had full offensive power, beating the Kings with a 33-24 shock wave.
At the end of the first half, the score was 69 to 49. The Lakers entered the locker room to rest with a 20-point advantage.
In the second quarter, Subei made 3 of 4, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 7 points, 3 assists, and 2 baskets.
In the first half, the data improved to 20 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds.
He is really just a role player, thanks to the fact that he has Thomas Jr. (175) in the starting lineup, and Brooks (183) on the bench to join the singles, so he should be the most handsome kid in Jiangsu Province in terms of statistics!
