Chapter 1275 One Is Defense, the Other Is Offense!

Even the fans understand the truth, and the Lakers coach naturally understands that, just looking at these players, he can only shake his head and smile bitterly.

There's really no one available.

In a blink of an eye, more than half of the first quarter has passed, and the two sides began to replace the bench players and entered the rotation time.

However, when it came time for the rotation, although the 76ers were only on the bench, the gap between the two sides became even bigger.

The Lakers' bench is really lackluster, and there aren't many players that can be played. Simply put, "not even a single player who can play."

Oh, right.

Gasol was still on the court at this time.

But relying on him is simply not enough. After all, Pau Gasol is now in his thirties, and he has already passed his peak period. Coupled with the impact of injuries, his state has dropped a lot compared to the past few seasons, otherwise the Lakers will also There is no need to bring in Howard.

I saw that the difference between the two sides was only 6 points just now, and now it has quietly become 9 points.

"Shh!"

With a light sound, Lou Wei hit an unreasonable jumper on the field, and the difference between the two sides became 11 points.

The home fans were immediately upset.

How could the difference be widened to more than 10 points? This is the team we are familiar with. Is this still the Staples Arena?

"Coach." Kobe stood up. "Let me go."

The head coach looked at the time, there was only one minute left in the first quarter.

In the end, he still couldn't beat Kobe, replaced Kobe, and said to himself: "It would be a good thing to reduce the point difference to within ten points before the end of this quarter." But he soon recovered. Come on, your face has become ugly, when did the Lakers fall to this point?

You know, now they still have a configuration like Kobe + Howard + Big Gasol, why is this?

But the reality is so cruel, even with the configuration of Kobe + Howard + Big Gasol, aren't the Lakers still seventh in the West?

on the field.

Kobe Bryant's singles, continuous change of direction, a feint after reaching the inside line, then turned over and hit a jumper, and the difference became 9 points.

Turn around, the 76ers are attacking here.

Sessions made a breakthrough. He was a player of the Lakers last season, but at this time he was already a different person. He broke through and hit the inside line, and then scored the ball outside and gave it to Thaddeus Young. Yang took the ball and dribbled a step. , posing for a shot, tricked the defender into jumping, and made a foul.

Watching Thaddeus Young hit the free throw line with two free throws, Kobe's face became a little gloomy, and his teammates' defense made him want to scold his mother.

With more than ten seconds left in the first quarter, the Lakers performed the final attack.

Still Kobe, Gasol took the ball low to attract defense, and then returned it to Kobe, who made a direct three-pointer.

Swish!

The ball was scored, the difference was 8 points, and the first quarter was over.

Although the score difference was only 8 points left, the Lakers team, including the Lakers fans in the audience, were in a bad mood at the moment.

There is no doubt that the Lakers did not play well in this quarter. Even if Kobe scored a lot of points, Howard and Gasol also played in the interior in the previous few minutes, occupying the advantage, but on the defensive end it was like Be transparent like that, allowing the 76ers to take whatever they want.

Break between festivals.

The Lakers head coach called the players and said with a stern face: "You must defend well, everyone must be active. You can't score on the offensive end, but you must defend well, understand?"

"Yes."

"clear."

A group of players responded.

Contrary to the Lakers, on the 76ers side, Coach Luke is emphasizing the offense.

"We did a good job in this section, and we will continue to maintain it later." Coach Luke said: "The offense must be aggressive, we must play our own offense, and bring the opponent into the rhythm of our game."

"Yes." Everyone agreed, and their morale was like a rainbow.

......

After a while, the second quarter begins.

One side is a hard defense, the other side is a fierce attack.

This is the difference between the two teams. The Lakers are forced by their lineup configuration. First, the age structure of the players is too large. Kobe, Gasol, and Artest are all over 30 years old. For two center forwards like Sol, they can only play positional warfare, and only in positional warfare can they have an advantage.

And to fight positional warfare, defense is crucial.

On the other hand, on the side of the 76ers, Qin Hao, Xiaoka, and Butler are all in their early twenties, and Iguodala is 28 years old, but not even 30 years old. Qin Hao can run and jump, and they are full of energy, so they can "take it with them." Offense is defense", as long as the offense is good enough, it can make up for the disadvantage of defense.

This is why the coaches on both sides, one emphasizes defense, and the other emphasizes attack.

"Hey, the difference has widened to double digits again."

"This can't be done. Without Kobe, I immediately fell into a disadvantage."

"It's about to be replaced."

The home fans were discussing that the Lakers made a substitution and replaced Howard.

As soon as the opponent's replacement, Qin Hao, he knew that this was intended to let Howard stand up and give Kobe a little more time to rest.

Since there is no "chemical reaction" between Kobe and Howard, it may be a solution to separate the two.

only......

Qin Hao stood up and came to Coach Luke and whispered a few words.

"You kid..." Coach Luke raised the corner of his mouth, nodded, and shouted, "Briggins, get ready, wait for you to come on." After that, he waved to Briggins, Then he pointed to Howard and whispered a few words.

Brackins was excited at first to finally be able to play in regular season time instead of waiting for garbage time to count.

But after listening to Coach Luke's orders, his face collapsed, he turned to look at Qin Hao, his face twitched, and he muttered, "I understand."

......

Moments later, the 76ers also made a substitution, putting on Brackins.

At this time, there are almost all substitute players on the field. The 76ers are Brackins and Thaddeus Young. Whether it is height or personal strength, they are obviously not as good as Howard.

In this situation on the field, Howard has an absolute advantage in the interior. He knows that his opportunity is coming, his eyes are shining, and he is very active. When he reaches the frontcourt, he is in the low position. He raised one hand and shouted at his teammates. :"ball."

Teammates pass the ball over.

Seeing that the person defending himself turned out to be Brackins, Howard couldn't help laughing. Isn't this giving himself points?

If you don't fight this, you will be sorry for your conscience.

"Pull away." Howard gestured to his teammates to pull away, and immediately he was backing up. While pushing back against Blakes, he kept an eye on it and saw that Thaddeus Young seemed to be coming over to help Blake. Jins, he didn't care, he just sneered, "Come here, I'll still buckle."

Pushing back two steps, Howard felt that his position was almost the same. Legins just slapped his wrist...
