Vichy is 2.13 meters tall and averages 4.3 points and 3.4 rebounds per game this season. He is just a low-level blue-collar player. If the Jazz had no one available inside, they would not use him.
Jokic easily passed the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Jokic at the top of the key.
Jokic and Zhao Chen played a hand-to-hand screen, Zhao Chen broke through and entered the inside, and Zhao Chen killed the inside.
When everyone thought Zhao Chen was going to attack, Zhao Chen hit the ball behind his head in the three-second zone. Kobe Bryant at the free throw line had been waiting for a long time.
Kobe caught the ball and jumped up on the ground, leaning back slightly and picking out the basketball with his fingertips.
Picturesque shot! !
"Uh-huh!"
Kobe scored on his first attack.
0 to 2.
"Kobe, attack as much as you want tonight and I will pass the ball to you," Zhao Chen said.
"Thank you." Kobe was no longer polite to Zhao Chen.
He knows that after entering the playoffs, everything will focus on the team and winning.
The Jazz still want to win tonight. Although they know that Zhao Chen may pass the ball to Kobe, they don't care. They feel that letting Zhao Chen pass to Kobe is the right choice.
Jazz attack.
The Jazz's tactics are very old-fashioned.
They move, cut inside and conduct the ball in a precise manner!
Hayward went to the line to break through with the help of Vichy's screen, Tucker followed closely, and Hayward distributed the ball to Lyles on the baseline.
Lyles is a forward with three-point shooting ability. He pulled Jokic out and then returned the ball to Hood in the center.
Hood catches the ball and makes a short jumper!
"Uh-huh!"
2 to 2, also scored.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Kobe.
Kobe sat in the low post and hit Mark, with continuous shoulder feints, and with adjustments to his steps, Kobe turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper!
Mark judged Kobe's rhythm correctly, and Kobe's back was interfered with.
"frame"
Kobe's shot hit the basket, but Kobe reacted quickly. He grabbed the offensive rebound and scored the ball! !
2 to 4.
Jazz attack.
Lyles held the ball to support the high free throw line, and Hayward used Vichy's screen to move without the ball.
Lyles did not choose to pass the ball to Hayward who was cutting inside. He clicked Tucker away and dribbled in.
Although Lyles is an inside man, he has fast steps and strong impact. Jokic's defense is a bit passive and he raises his hands high. Lyles European steps past Jokic.
Just when Jazz fans thought Lyles would easily score the goal, a figure flashed past! !
"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen nailed the big block at the moment Lyles made a layup! !
Zhao Chen took advantage of the situation and collected the ball.
"Oh, Zhao Xie is on the inside."
"Poor Lyles, haha."
Lyles' face turned dark.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen did not give the ball to Kobe this time.
Kobe is not in a good position.
Zhao Chen chose to pick and roll with Jokic. After the pick and roll, Zhao Chen did not pass the ball to Jokic, but took a step back and shot a three-pointer.
Basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Uh-huh!"
2 to 7.
Jazz attack.
Hood took the ball across half court and gave it to Hayward in the low post.
Hayward singled out Covington and shook Covington away after a series of feints.
Hayward's layup was fouled by Tucker, who was assisting on defense, and Hayward stepped to the free throw line.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
4 to 7.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and signaled Jokic to provide an off-ball screen for Kobe.
Jokic understood Zhao Chen's intention. He was very smart. He first covered Kobe and allowed Kobe to smoothly run into the paint.
The Jazz players all thought Zhao Chen was going to pass to Kobe, but Zhao Chen gave the ball to Jokic.
Jokic feinted to attract the attention of Vichy and Lyles, and passed the ball around his waist to Kobe inside.
Kobe was so empty, he stood up and dunked with one hand! !
"frame!!"
4 to 9.
Kobe smiled white teeth at Jokic.
Kobe knew that the entire Lakers team would be playing for him tonight.
The Lakers' tactics were clear at the beginning of the game against the Jazz.
The main player of the Lakers is Kobe. Zhao Chen and Jokic constantly feed Kobe, allowing Kobe to score frequently.
The Jazz's offense also went smoothly, but the score kept getting wider.
Jazz head coach Schneider frowned.
The Jazz's offense is indeed good, but not as efficient as the Lakers. The Lakers score in almost every round.
The Jazz's defensive strategy is to flank Zhao Chen, but tonight their main attack point is not Zhao Chen. Kobe's space is too big.
And Kobe felt good tonight.
Whether it's mid-range, three-point, or at the basket, Kobe can hit the ball.
After half a quarter of the game, the score between the two sides became 16-24, and the Lakers' lead reached 8 points.
The situation in this game turned in the Lakers' favor.
Lakers fans began to cheer for the Jazz. They hoped that the Jazz could last as long as possible.
After the Lakers' season ended, Zhao Chen often clocked out of get off work in three quarters, which affected the game viewing experience of Lakers fans to a certain extent.
Fans want Kobe's last regular season game to be as enjoyable as possible.
The Lakers' rhythm has always been like this. If they lead by a big score in the first half, they will almost never be reversed in the second half.
This made the fans a little tired of watching it.
It would be interesting to create some trouble for Zhao Chen.
Jazz head coach Schneider looked very unhappy on the sidelines. The Jazz were in good shape today, but they just couldn't defend themselves.
Kobe had already scored 10 points, which also made his mentality a little broken.
Schneider asked for a timeout: "Can't you guard a veteran who is about to retire? Defend with more aggressiveness and challenge him. We still have hope for the playoffs! We need to win this game."
The entire Jazz team looked unhappy. Indeed, Kobe was about to retire, but they still couldn't guard him.
Although there is a reason to focus on guarding against Zhao Chen, this is not an excuse.
After the timeout, the Lakers began to rotate.
Rose played, Kobe stayed on the court, and Zhao Chen was moved to the 3rd position to directly face Hayward.
On the inside, UAE and Harrell teamed up to play.
In addition to Zhao Chen, the strength of the Lakers is also their strong lineup depth.
The Jazz lineup remains unchanged.
Jazz attack.
Hood carried the ball across half court.
Zhao Chen was confronting Hayward, and Zhao Chen said, "I heard that you have to win this game to have a chance to play in the playoffs."
Zhao Chen's trash talk is also unique in the league, and Hayward does not respond.
Zhao Chen had no intention of letting Hayward go: "That's a pity. You can take a vacation early. You have no chance this season."
While Zhao Chen was talking to Hayward, Hood didn't pay attention to Hayward and passed the ball directly over.
"Don't...!" Hayward just shouted.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen quickly intercepted the ball in advance.
Zhao Chen accelerated his sprint and got rid of all the Jazz's defensive players.
No one can catch up with the fastest man on the basketball court!
The front court is empty! !
Zhao Chen kept accelerating.
Without hesitation, Zhao Chen took three steps from the LOGO position and kicked the ground hard. The floor seemed to be broken by Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen stepped on the three-point line and took off! ! ! !
The fans at Staples Center were stunned.
Kobe also smiled bitterly at this time...
Zhao Chen inadvertently wanted to steal the show.
Zhao Chen also found that his dunk point started a little early, but it was already flying, and Zhao Chen was not polite.
Grab the ball in the air, stretch, and try to direct the ball toward the basket! ! !
Super long stay in the air, time seems to have stopped for a long time!
finally!
"frame!"
No fancy moves, just a simple dunk!
But this is far enough!
All Staples fans were shocked! !
Zhao Chen once performed a dunk on the three-point line during the dunk contest, but this time, it was in actual combat! ! !
