One Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety-Four. Playful Madness
After Ci Shiping hit a three-pointer, Sun Ce passed the ball to Paul George. Paul George advanced quickly. He originally wanted to find Sun Ce or Yi Jianlian, but both of them were targeted. Paul George passed the ball to the right sideline to follow up. Klay Thompson, Klay Thompson also scored a three-pointer!
Then came the Lakers' attack. This time Paul missed Yi Jianlian's fadeaway mid-range shot. Looking back, Klay Thompson kept asking for the ball while running, and Sun Ce passed it.
Klay Thompson received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side and was unable to escape Kobe's pursuit. He did a good job of guarding against pure shooter Kobe, but Klay Thompson received the ball and jumped up to meet Kobe's fadeaway three-pointer. Take action...
Hit again!
Another three-point wave!
The Grizzlies' double 3D combination scored three three-pointers in a row!
81 to 76, the Grizzlies took a 5-point lead!
Sun Ce was blocked and Klay Thompson started! Coupled with Paul George, who made three three-pointers today, the Lakers instantly felt overwhelming pressure.
Kobe withstood the pressure and got a moment's opening through running. Paul seized the opportunity firmly and passed it to Kobe at just the right time. Kobe had already made a shooting action before Klay Thompson could catch up. Hit the ball after catching the ball.
With this ball, Sun Ce was too late to block it. The dream backcourt was indeed too suitable and too strong.
Forced into a positional battle by the Lakers, Sun Ce received Yi Jianlian's serve and advanced quickly. When Klay Thompson followed up, he was more than one meter away from the three-point line and almost two meters away, and passed it directly to Klay Thompson. Klay - Thompson was stunned for a moment after receiving the ball.
Klay Thompson scored two three-pointers in a row, and Sun Ce was already high. He was closely guarded by Josh Smith, and he was also flanked in the pick-and-roll. He had just triggered the "splash trend" on his side, but he had no chance. Shoot, then let Klay Thompson continue to shoot!
Klay Thompson is also high! After being stunned for a moment, without even dribbling, he shot a super long three-point shot of 32 feet from two meters away from the left three-point line across the top arc...
Seeing Klay Thompson take action, not to mention the Lakers players, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV all had the same thought - are you kidding me?
Then I saw the ball fall into the basket, and I saw Klay Thompson put his hands together and bow slightly...
The Lakers are going crazy! The fans at the scene have gone crazy!
Sun Ce and Klay Thompson played "three-point cooperation" as if they were joking.
Klay Thompson really turned Sun Ce's joke into reality!
The Lakers are going to vomit blood. No matter what Sun Ce's performance is, they won't be surprised, but Klay Thompson did it too!
Paul was the most devastated. He had 13 assists. He thought he was far ahead, but he never thought that Sun Ce could just pass a pass and practice this kind of three-pointer's pass that hadn't even reached the three-point line, and it could be turned into an assist.
It was just like a joke, but even though they got assists, they also got points. 78 to 84, Paul didn't even react. The number of assists was overtaken, and the team was still 6 points behind the opponent!
When Klay Thompson landed on the ground, the Lakers called a timeout.
Kobe closed his mouth and gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and walked back to the bench.
It’s so crazy. From Kobe’s point of view, Sun Ce is a guy that simply cannot be understood with common sense. He just wants to be a waste of time and lead his teammates to such a waste of time!
The key is that when it comes to Klay Thompson's three-point shooting, Kobe feels that this guy is more stable than Sun Ce, and his explosive ability is also extremely strong!
In the past few minutes, it wasn't about whether I had defended well or not, but that I couldn't defend against him.
As the former record holder for three-pointers made in a single game, Kobe knew the feeling of shooting a three-pointer after his hand was ignited was easier than playing a game.
Forget it if the opponent has Sun Ce, Kobe can fight Biao himself, and now there is Klay Thompson... Next to him, there is Paul George, who makes Kobe feel as talented as Tracy McGrady... How to fight this?
Lakers head coach Bickerstaff Sr. feels similar to Kobe.
They did nothing wrong, but they were 6 points behind!
In the past 4 rounds, they made 3 of 4 shots! 8 points in 4 rounds, what better performance could there be?
But there really is!
The opponent scored 5 goals in a row! 4 of them were three-pointers!
In fact, it was just two unreasonable three-pointers by Klay Thompson that suddenly widened the point difference.
The old Bickerstaff quickly made substitutions. To block the three-pointer, he replaced Leonard and replaced Jamison. The lineup of Paul, Kobe, Leonard, Ci Shiping, and Josh Smith came on.
Old Bickerstaff looked at the talented Leonard, but it was a pity that the kid was too young. He was also a second-year player. Compared with Klay Thompson on the opposite side, Leonard still had a lot to develop. Leonard has averaged 20 minutes per game this season, scoring 9.3 points, 4 rebounds and 1.5 steals. He is already very good defensively, but when it comes to offense, he is still not as experienced as Ci Shiping.
But Leonard's talent is really good, and others still look down on Leonard, only treating him as an add-on in the trade, and only treating him as a defensive young player with potential injuries.
But the Lakers and Warriors, the two teams that have trained Leonard, both know his talent. He works hard and doesn't learn quickly but has always made progress. Leonard like this is related to the Lakers' two future plans. Which two The plan is all related to Leonard.
With precedents such as Lowry and Nash, the Lakers patiently let Kobe and Ci Shiping guide Leonard's offense and defense.
…
After the timeout, the Grizzlies did not make any substitutions, and the Lakers attacked.
The Lakers really didn't expect that they would be the team chasing points if they attacked aggressively.
Leonard has improved greatly compared to last season. He received a three-pointer from Kobe's pass as soon as he came on.
Very stable, surprisingly stable. Of course, he didn't play singles, but he seized the opportunities that should be seized very well. He averaged 3.2 three-pointers per game and hit 1.4!
Leonard met three leaders of his generation, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Paul George. He didn't give up and helped the Lakers narrow the score as soon as he came on.
Looking back, the Lakers changed to a five-small lineup. Before, at least they could barely count as two power forwards. Now, Josh Smith is not a pure power forward, but a power forward with a small forward offensive style.
With this lineup, the Lakers' three-point defense from the outside is very good. The front line trio of Leonard, Metta World Peace, and Josh Smith is terrifying in blocking three-pointers, but the inside defense is amazing... Yi Jianlian is starting to show his power again!
Moreover, there is always a time to plug the gap in blocking three-pointers. During the All-Star Weekend, Klay Thompson, under the guidance of his father, found his Los Angeles fellow Reggie Miller to learn running positions. Before the official timeout in the third quarter, Klay Thompson found another opportunity and hit a three-pointer!
