Chapter 1073 1072. Left-Handed Magician!

The Hawks didn't let McGrady play against Luke Walton in the first attack, which was quite unexpected by the Zen Master.

In addition to defending heavy guards, Fisher could only defend spot shooters most of the time. The Zen Master had prepared a double-team defense strategy to deal with Liu Mang or McGrady's singles against Luke Walton, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to directly screen in the high post.

Yao Ming's defense against the pick-and-roll... is worse than O'Neal.

The Lakers attacked, Fisher pushed forward to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Kobe.

McGrady defended in front of Kobe, a matchup of two high school superstars!

Kobe saw that it was McGrady who came up to defend, and waved to Luke Walton who was asking for the ball in the high post to go away.

Pass the ball to the Hawks? Just do it!

The Zen Master supported himself with both hands on his thighs, crossed his eight fingers, and made circles with his thumbs. This was expected.

Luke Walton saw this situation and made a gesture again. Yao Ming immediately pulled to the high post, and Fisher ran from the left corner to the right corner.

Kobe moved toward the top arc, Yao Ming brought Kwame Brown to the right side of the top arc, and Luke Walton brought Prince to the left side of the top arc. The Lakers set up two pick-and-rolls in a row!

What kind of tactics is this!

Liu Mang followed Fisher from the left corner to the right corner. When he arrived at the left corner, he saw the high position set up in such a formation. Didn’t Kobe just want to play one-on-one?

Kobe used the pick-and-roll to move toward the left side of the top arc, which made the Hawks defenders really unsure of what to do. Was it Yao Ming who really wanted to set a pick-and-roll, or Luke Walton?

At the same time, Fisher, who was at the right corner, moved toward the left at a 45-degree angle.

Liu Mang quickly followed, he was going to take a 45-degree three-pointer from Fisher!

At this time, Odom came up and blocked Liu Mang who was chasing him. At this time, because Yao Ming was the first to step forward to block him, McGrady, who was blocked, immediately came to defend Fisher. However, after Fisher ran to the 45-degree mid-range with the help of Odom's pick-and-roll, he did not retreat outside the 45-degree three-point line, but ran around to the inside.

On the other side, the second pick-and-roll was carried out at the same time. Luke Walton blocked Kwame Brown who switched to defend Kobe and cut inside. Rasheed Wallace received the basket. Yao Ming moved to the right side of the 45-degree free throw line and was empty!

Kobe's ball had been passed, Yao Ming received the ball and shot an open shot from mid-range...

Hit!

An easy two-pointer!

So easy!

With an extra point guard who can shoot without sticking to the ball and willing to run, Yao Ming got a very easy shooting opportunity. He blocked the person, took two steps, and was open!

The effect is immediate!

Liu Mang looked at Kobe with a smile on his face when he returned to defense. What a liar! What about the singles!

But what is this tactic of the Lakers!

This is a team cooperation that Liu Mang has never seen before, but it seems to be a triangle offense.

Liu Mang silently wrote down the tactic and advanced to the front court after receiving the serve.

Kobe waited for Liu Mang to advance to the front court. Just two or three seconds after Yao Ming made a shot after passing the ball, he thought the pass was pretty good.

After Liu Mang arrived at the front court, he encountered Kobe's defense. It was difficult to break through. Yao Ming was under the basket. Liu Mang continued to pick and roll, and Kwame Brown brought Yao Ming out.

However, before Liu Mang could take advantage of Kwame Brown's pick and roll, Kobe suddenly pressed up. Liu Mang quickly controlled the ball, but took a step back and stayed away from the three-point line!

Liu Mang watched Kobe leaning against Kwame Brown who came to the three-point line, and was outside the pick-and-roll. Yao Ming was a little behind Kwame Brown, blocking Kwame Brown's open cut.

The pick-and-roll didn't work!

The Lakers were caught off guard on the first ball, but they had been prepared to defend against the pick-and-roll! Since the Hawks used a lot of pick-and-rolls against the Supersonics in the last game, the Zen Master began to think about how to defend.

This was really a solution when he was forced into a corner.

Liu Mang was more than a meter away from the three-point line. Seeing this situation, he just pulled up and threw it!

A three-pointer from a very long distance!

When Liu Mang shot, there was a cry of surprise at the scene...

"Bang..."

The basket of Los Angeles habitually refused to be entered, and Liu Mang's three-pointer missed!

Odom protected the defensive rebound, and the Lakers attacked.

The Hawks quickly retreated, and Rasheed Wallace did not rush for the offensive rebound, but went back to defense. There was a huge gap between him and Odom in rebounding. Odom was better at rebounding than him in his rookie season.

After grabbing the defensive rebound, Odom advanced to the frontcourt, and did not continue the previous tactics. Odom held the ball at the top of the arc.

Kobe asked Odom for the ball, but Odom did not give it to him and waved Kobe away.

Kobe had no choice but to pull to the low post, bring the defense in, and give Odom a singles opportunity.

Among the active players, in terms of talent, Kobe only admires two people, one is McGrady, and the other is Odom.

When Odom wants to play singles, it means he is serious. Kobe will not interrupt Odom's singles with the ball. It is not easy for this guy to be serious once.

"Ding... Talent skill is triggered, Lamar Odom enters the focus state."

"Ding... Absolute omnipotence is triggered, Lamar Odom can switch freely between the first and fifth positions."

"Lamar Odom (focused state): ability value 95, offense 91, defense 85, three-pointer 81, mid-range shot 80, layup 91, speed 86, strength 87, rebound 95, ball control 95, pass 90..."

Hearing this prompt, Liu Mang didn't know whether to say something or not. The Lakers were too well prepared today. They had alternative tactics for offense and preparation for defense. Even Odom took it seriously!

Liu Mang stayed close to Fisher and looked around the sidelines. He saw a woman he thought was bloated and understood why Odom was serious.

Today, Odom's new girlfriend Khloe Kardashian came to the scene to watch the game, and Odom rarely became serious.

Liu Mang is following Fisher in the left corner, McGrady is fighting with Kobe in the low post, Yao Ming pulls to the right baseline to take away Kwame Brown from the middle distance, and Luke Walton takes away Prince at a 45-degree angle on the left , the Lakers have a lot of space, which is very different from when Smush Parker was there. If it was Smush Parker, Liu Mang would double attack.

Rasheed Wallace lowered his center of gravity and defended Odom from the top arc without daring to blink.

Odom dribbled the ball continuously under his hips like a point guard, and the fans cheered one after another.

Odom's singles are coming! A point guard who is 2.08 meters tall!

Just when Rasheed Wallace silently cursed Odom for dribbling and hitting his foot, Odom broke through to the left!

Rasheed Wallace quickly moved sideways to the right, but Odom, like an outside line, suddenly changed direction and slapped the ball to the left, passing Rasheed Wallace!

This is really unstoppable!

Rasheed Wallace did his best, and Odom rushed towards the basket.

Kwame Brown was pulled away by Yao Ming and did not dare to block it. Kobe pulled him out towards the left mid-range. McGrady saw Odom's height and weight and decided to chase Kobe.

Odom entered the free throw line one step away, jumped high and flew towards the basket!

The fans at the scene had already started cheering after Odom passed Rasheed Wallace. Odom, who was serious, rushed forward and was equally unstoppable! This is the body of a real center who is 2.08 meters tall! And as fast as a defender!

Just when the fans were cheering crazily, suddenly it seemed as if a gun was stuck in their throats, and the cheers suddenly stopped...

Odom was flying in the air, thinking about how to dunk the ball, and then suddenly found that he had flown out of the baseline! Quickly passing the ball, it happened to be passed to Liu Mang who ran in and was ready to receive the ball and start a counterattack.

"Ding... Habitual distraction triggers, and when a wonderful moment is played, he will always be too proud, from Lamar Odom."

Liu Mang was stunned. When he saw Odom jumping up to face the empty basket, he was ready to quickly receive the serve and counterattack. Who knew that as soon as he ran to the side of the three-second zone, a ball flew towards his face? come over.

Liu Mang subconsciously caught the ball!

He didn't look up just now, thinking that Odom had dunked the ball in and flew out of the baseline, but he didn't expect that!

McGrady was the first to react and ran down the court. Liu Mang also reacted immediately and passed the ball long!

Liu Mang's passing accuracy was amazing. All the passes in the field fell into McGrady's hands just as McGrady rushed into the free throw line.

McGrady jumped up to catch the ball, but instead of dunking, he landed first.

Just when McGrady landed, Kobe jumped from behind the free throw line, fanned out, and missed!

McGrady got up again, dodged Kobe's pursuit and blocked the shot, then put the layup up and scored two points.

Liu Mang received an assist.

At 4-2, the Eagles still held a two-point lead.

Liu Mang didn't know what to say to Odom. One second he was super, and the next second he could become even better.

Kobe picked up the ball speechlessly and saw Odom's silly smile when he ran back to receive the serve. Kobe really wanted to give this guy an elbow and let him have a taste of the Los Angeles elbow.

Kobe passed the ball to Odom, and Odom continued to advance.

Odom didn't make any mistakes this time. He continued to break through and focused on attacking the basket. Odom broke through too easily just now. Kwame Brown shrank to the basket this time and rushed towards Odom. Dom passed the ball to Yao Ming on the baseline. Yao Ming hit a mid-range fadeaway jumper when Rasheed Wallace rushed to cover!

Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row!

This time it was the Eagles' turn to surprise!

The leader of the Lakers' opening offense was not Kobe. Kobe even failed to take a shot in three consecutive attacks. This is inconsistent with his average of 26 shots per game and accounting for nearly one-third of the Lakers' shots!

And it's not Yao Ming playing alone, it's Luke Walton directing or Odom attacking with the ball!

Like the Hawks, the Lakers' triangle offensive system is also open, and players have the power to decide their own offense on the court.

Previously, it was because the point guard was so bad that Smush Parker couldn't play with any team. In the past two seasons, he only played 16 games combined, and he actually started in the Lakers.

But now with Fisher, the triangle offense has really been revitalized!
