Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 149 Small Lineup
However, before Barkley could recover, Ling Yu had already rushed to the frontcourt, facing the Rockets player who was returning to defense, with a big lever in his left hand, he scored the ball. At the same time, the whistle sounded, and Ling Yu was awarded an additional penalty. Chance.

An additional free throw was made, and another three-pointer was made. The Lakers once again approached the score. Seeing that the point difference was only 3 points, the Rockets coach couldn't sit still, and hurriedly called a timeout and rearranged tactics.

Two sets of tactics, if O'Neal plays the game, he will focus on the outside, if the Lakers continue to use the previous lineup, they will resolutely play the inside, give the ball to Dameng, and let him play.On the defensive end, the glider defends Ling Yu individually, and the others prepare for the weak side defense.

Looking at the Lakers again, the small lineup seems to be effective, which also strengthens Del's decision to focus on the small lineup.So, he glanced at everyone, and said seriously and firmly: "Everyone played well, continue to fight like this later, be firm with your opponent, don't hesitate."

"Bryant." Del stared at Ling Yu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Get more balls later, and attack more."

Ling Yu nodded clearly and said, "I will."

"That's good." Del smiled gratifiedly, patted Ling Yu's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "It's up to you."

rely on you.

Simple three words, but it seems complicated.Under the pressure, Del replaced O'Neal and let Ling Yu take the lead. It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. Del will definitely be criticized in every possible way. Stuck big, in this way, not only will the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room be affected, even Del's handsome position may not be able to hold.

In the past summer, the Lakers spent a lot of money to sign O'Neal, and also renewed players with other contract years, signing a lot of potential stocks, in order to reach the finals and win the championship again.

However, throughout the season, discord between the generals appeared repeatedly. First, Nick's locker room publicly accused Del, and then O'Neal's denial of Del's tactics. In addition, the media "show off", and fans seemed to deny Del's tactics. stand up.

In Los Angeles, a city that honors superstars, the coaching position is precarious, and if you are not careful, you are in danger of being fired.

All these Dels know, which is why Del chose to replace Ling Yu instead of O'Neal under the same poor performance. Apart from wanting to win, he also didn't want to anger O'Neal and the fans. .

However, looking at Ling Yu as a good seedling, Del felt mixed feelings and sourness in his heart. In addition, when O'Neill was present, he was already weak. Del, who was determined to win, couldn't stand it any longer. , firmed up his inner thoughts, replaced Ling Yu, and put those redundant thoughts to the back of his head.

In fact, with what O'Neal said, Del's tactics have already been questioned. In this game, even if Del let O'Neal play the whole game and lost in the end, he would still be criticized.Instead of this, it is better to replace Ling Yu and give it a go. If he can win the game, the public opinion will be less.

Del sighed slightly, and walked back to the bench.

Bryant, for you and for me, you have to win the game.

O'Neal glanced at Del and smiled strangely.

On the court, the game continued, and the Lakers continued to use the previous lineup. In this way, the Rockets' defensive focus fell on Ling Yu. The glider defended alone, and the others assisted in the defense.

At this time, the Rockets attack, the glider takes the ball, hovers outside, waits for Barkley to pull up, then passes the ball to the small guard, then stands up and makes a screen for him.

The little defender took the ball without stopping, speeding up the dribble and running to the right, Fisher hurriedly put it up.However, as soon as the little man saw the defensive player coming up, he immediately handed the ball to the glider, and then ran to the bottom corner on the right, laying in wait for the opportunity.

The glider took the ball, Ling Yu didn't hesitate to defend it.However, the glider didn't mean to break through, glanced at the bottom of the basket, handed the ball to Dameng inside, and then pulled away.

Insider?Here again?
Ling Yu thought inwardly, frowning, and hurriedly retreated back, starting to assist in defense.

As soon as Dameng saw Ling Yu coming to help defend, he quickly passed the ball and handed it to the glider, and Ling Yu threw it out again.Unexpectedly, the glider handed the ball to Dameng again.

So determined?

Ling Yu froze for a moment, then hurried to the bottom of the basket.But he didn't want to, as soon as Dameng got the ball, he stepped directly, pushed Knight away, made a small hook, scored the ball, and scored two points for the Rockets.

Knight couldn't prevent Dameng at all, regardless of whether it was physical confrontation or experience, he seemed very immature.Therefore, the Rockets will definitely play inside.

This is also what Del is worried about. The small lineup seems to be effective, but the loopholes in his heart are extremely large. If he is not careful, he will be beaten into a mess by the Rockets.

If someone inside can guard against Dameng.
Del took a sad look at O'Neill and sighed softly.

Del saw a sense of comfort in O'Neill's face.

Del smiled wryly in his heart and said, "It seems that my handsome position is no longer guaranteed. Hehe."

Forget it, let's focus on the game first.

On the court, Ling Yu took the ball in the backcourt, carefully controlled the half court, and with Campbell's cover, he made a feint, swayed the glider, and then made a mid-range jumper.This time, the strength was stronger, and the basketball bounced out of the basket. However, Campbell desperately got the rebound, threw it out, and returned to Ling Yu's hands.

This time, Ling Yu was not in a hurry to attack, he held the ball with his right hand, waved his left hand at his teammates, signaling them to pull away, and then slowly dribbled the ball.

"Left." A voice rang out from Ling Yu's mind.

Ling Yu frowned, with a serious expression on his face, then dribbled the ball cross-steps, pushing towards the glider step by step.

Holding the ball in his left hand, and then a feint, the center of gravity of the glider was swung to the left.Then, Ling Yu pulled back with his left hand and passed the ball back to the right, without any hesitation, he accelerated directly.

Ling Yu thought well, but the left side of the glider moved a bit slowly. This was because he accidentally twisted his ankle during the last training, and it was still in pain, which also affected his movement.

Ling Yu took a glance and saw that the glider was already behind him, so he quickened his pace and went to the bottom of the basket.

"Defense."

The glider knew that he could no longer catch up with Ling Yu, so he hurriedly shouted at Dameng.

Dameng was clearly aware of it, so he hurried up to defend, opened his hands, and blocked Ling Yu's front like a mountain.Startled, Ling Yu gritted his teeth and rushed over.

"what!!!"

With a scream, a blue figure fell out of the bottom line.
