Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 117 Good tactics? ?

"Like what Bryant said, reduce the tempo." Delton said for a while: "However, reducing the tempo does not mean playing a positional battle with them, but pouring the ball twice more before taking a shot."

"Is that so?" Del glanced at Ling Yu and asked softly, "Bryant."

What kind of wind is blowing here?Del went so far as to ask for my opinion.

Seeing Del's friendly expression, Ling Yu almost didn't pee in fright, froze for a moment, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, that's it."

"Okay." Del smiled, and said slowly: "That's it, pay attention to controlling the rhythm, don't go too fast, go up!"

The coach's words are orders. The players may disagree or don't understand a lot, but the final result is the same, that is, to follow the coach's tactics, how to arrange, and how to play.

Therefore, as soon as they played, the Lakers players deliberately controlled the rhythm, chose to pour more balls, and waited for the open space before shooting.

Although the tempo has come down, that's the case. The Lakers players' shot selection is more stable, and their shooting percentage has also increased.

On the contrary, the Rockets seemed a little flustered and a little at a loss.

Originally thought that the Lakers would continue to play fast and use this momentum to open the score.But now, the Lakers have actually slowed down by themselves. Isn't this tantamount to hiding their own advantages?
The Rockets coach was also quite confused, looking at the court blankly.

Under normal circumstances, when one side has the upper hand and brings the opponent into its own rhythm, they will take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack with all their strength, in order to wipe out the opponent with a frenzy.

But how could the Lakers do this?
The Rockets coach folded his hands, stared at the court motionlessly, frowned, and touched his chin from time to time, thinking about something.

On the court, the Lakers attack.Eddie took the ball and made a quick recommendation. Before the defensive player came up, he passed the ball to Clausey who was coming diagonally. Then Johnson pulled up. Horry went around Johnson's side, and Eddie went from the top of the arc. Running deep, and passing by Horry, Eddie suddenly stopped and stuck behind Horry, and Horry took advantage of the situation and ran up the route Eddie ran up.

"This way."

Horry yelled at Crowse, trying not to forget to reach out. Barkley seemed to be aware of the Lakers' intentions, using the crossed running position to create a gap, and then catch the ball and shoot.So, Barkley hurried up to help defend Horry, not forgetting to shout to his teammates: "Pull up, help defend."

The other members of the Rockets were vigilant. Upon hearing Barkley's words, they rushed towards Horry and Clausey. At the same time, the glider rushed towards Johnson and switched to defend Johnson.

The Rockets' random switching defense this time can be described as very fast.However, someone seems to have forgotten Eddie in the left corner.jones.

Clauser glanced at Eddie, saw that he was open, and passed the ball without hesitation.

"Eddie."

After Clauser finished his drink, the ball had already been released. Only then did the other Rockets players realize Eddie was in the bottom corner, and rushed towards him.

"Oops."

Barkley quickly went deep and grabbed the rebound at any time.

Eddie took the ball, adjusted it slightly, and took a light step.At this moment, two Rockets players rushed over, as if to block Eddie to death.However, Eddie did not throw the ball, but turned sideways, pushed hard, and returned the ball to Clause at the top of the arc.

At this point, Clause was already in an absolute vacancy.Once in and out, the center of gravity of the Rockets players has been lost. At this time, it is impossible to withdraw and return to defense. We can only pray that Crowse will not make a shot.

Clause adjusted, jumped slightly, and made a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

"Shua!!!" Hollow into the net, the Lakers scored another three points, widening the point difference to 5 points.

Next is the Rockets' offense. The Lakers' defensive tactics are to shrink inside, not letting you in, and letting you shoot.Faced with this kind of defense, the Rockets' tactics of focusing on the inside can't be carried out. In desperation, other Rockets players are trying to make medium- and long-range shots.However, fortunately, the Rockets' outside players feel okay at this time. When the Lakers score a goal, the Rockets will always have one.Although the lead was not achieved in terms of score, it did not allow the Lakers to open up, and the point difference was controlled at about 5 points.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately, and it was hard to tell who was stronger and who was weaker. It is still unknown which side will win the final victory.

The Rockets continued to look for opportunities to hand the ball inside, while the Lakers passed the ball many times to expose the open space before shooting.

The passage of time is always so fast. Not long after, most of the fourth quarter has passed. At this time, there are only 2 minutes and 21 seconds before the end of the game. The Lakers lead the Rockets by 86 points 82 to 4.

The Rockets coach glanced at the timer, hesitated, called a timeout, and rearranged the play.

Del glanced at Ling Yu, and asked softly, "Bryant, what do you think now?"

Eyes full of anticipation, very sincere waiting.

What's the matter?Are you the coach or am I?

Seeing Del's expression, Ling Yu couldn't help taking a breath, hesitated, stared at Del, and said in a low voice: "I think we can fight faster now."

"what??"

A burst of astonishment burst out from the Lakers bench, and they all looked at each other, looking at Ling Yu very puzzled.

"Bryant." Eddie frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "I don't understand what you mean, I think we are playing very well now."

"I think so too." Clauser said while panting, "It will be very tiring to run and fight."

Of course, some people agree with Ling Yu that Johnson is one of them.

"I think Bryant is right," Johnson agreed. "We can still run."

Clauser gave Johnson a blank look, and said softly, "You can still run."

Del on the side pondered for a while, looked at Ling Yu, and asked in puzzlement, "Why do you want to hit fast?"

Ling Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "I observed the old players on their side just now, and they basically looked weak, and they probably couldn't run anymore."

Clauser frowned, and said softly, "There are some people on our side who can't run."

Clause was talking about himself. At this time, he was out of breath in SAIC, and running again was a meaningless challenge for him.

Ling Yu naturally understood this. He sized Clausey up and said softly, "Everyone doesn't need to run away."

"If you don't want everyone to run, how do you play?" Campbell asked puzzled, "Basketball is for five people."

Ling Yu nodded with a smile, and said, "I just said that basketball is for five people, so I said that there is no need for everyone to run."

"What I mean is, if you still have the strength to run, run even harder to drive the Rockets' defense." Ling Yu paused and said, "It's not time to shoot, it's time to break through."

"breakthrough?"

"Yes." Ling Yu nodded firmly, and shouted: "When you get the ball in the backcourt, immediately push it forward quickly. Don't pass the ball, just go directly to the basket. No matter whether you go in or not, go in first and then talk."

"Isn't this a joke?" Campbell shook his head and said, "I don't think this will work. You see, if their players are all hoarded at the bottom of the basket and they rush in like this, they will either be cut off or blocked. I think Might as well keep shooting from the outside."

Del stared at Ling Yu and said in agreement: "I think what Campbell said is right, your idea just now is very risky."

Ling Yu smiled wryly, and thought to himself: My idea is risky?I feel much safer than yours.

"They will definitely continue to press and play, and they will definitely find opportunities to hand the ball inside to cause damage." Ling Yu paused and said, "Which of us can defend Olajuwon alone, and Barkley?"

Ling Yu's words seemed to hit their sore spots, and a moment of silence filled the air.

Clause broke the silence, and retorted in a low voice: "We can't defend against them alone, but we can defend together like before."

"In this timeout, they will definitely take measures against our zone defense. They may use the breakthrough of outside players to rush in to cause our damage. It is also possible to pull Barkley out and then come in. In this case, our zone defense will be improved. It's useless."

Ling Yu glanced at Del, paused for a moment, and continued: "Or they let Olajuwon pull out to support, or shoot, do we still have to play? Don't forget, Olajuwon has a long shot distance."

Campbell yelled softly: "I don't believe his touch is so good."

Ling Yu smiled and said, "They think so too, they don't believe our hand feeling will always be so good."

"Okay!" Delton took a moment and said softly: "Bryant's opinion is good. They will definitely take corresponding measures against our zone defense, and then our defense will be severely impacted."

Ling Yu nodded, and thought to himself: This old man still understands.

"But."

Del glanced at Ling Yu and said softly, "But there is something wrong with Bryant's thinking."

what!
Ling Yu looked at Del in astonishment, and didn't speak for a long time.

This has become too fast! !
"So we still stick to the current style of play, play slowly, don't rush, control the rhythm, and strive to complete every attack." Delton paused and said seriously: "Since they want to break our zone defense, we have to Play harder, don't let them come in and force them to shoot."

"Dell." Ling Yu frowned, and shouted softly, "It won't work like this."

"Bryant, your thinking is really good, but it's too one-sided." Del glanced at Ling Yu, and said softly: "If you play according to your tactics, there will be many problems, and these problems are caused by us. The team couldn't avoid it."

After speaking, Del looked at his players, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Just like the past time, play hard, don't worry."

"Let's all play!"

Everyone nodded and walked up.

"Dell." Ling Yu frowned, and said seriously: "I know there are many loopholes in my thinking, but I think we can secure victory by fighting this way."

Del looked at Ling Yu thoughtfully, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Let's take a look first."
