Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 217 Gasol's Suggestion (Addition)
Come back for the second quarter.

The two sides first came off the bench to play for a while.

Because of Odom's presence on the court, the Lakers' bench strength is obviously stronger, which helped to widen the gap by 5 points.

Seeing that 3 minutes had passed in the second quarter, Little K immediately replaced Yi Jianlian on the field.

He came on, and the Lakers' starters followed suit.

However, the Lakers still haven't changed their lineup, and it's the inside twin tower combination of Gasol and Bynum to fight against Yi Jianlian.

Phil Jackson is not in a hurry, and Little K is even more in a hurry. Anyway, Yi Jianlian playing Pau Gasol is no different from his father beating his son. There is nothing wrong with a stable two-point play!

On the offensive end, Pau Gasol was scrambled by Yi Jianlian's defense. He could no longer read the game defense as calmly as Ilyasova defended before. It froze for an instant.

"ball!"

To put it succinctly, Kobe stood up when the entire team couldn't score.

This can be used to describe the Lakers this season. If the ball passes through Gasol's hands, it means that tactics have played a role.

And if it didn't go through Gasol's hands, it was Kobe who played a role.

Courtney Lee was schooled once again.

But this time, Little K didn't let him defend alone, but asked Mason to defend together.

"It's better to let him rush than let him shoot easily!"

Little K's words are the defensive policy that Mason and Courtney Lee implemented against Kobe in the rest of the second quarter. Whenever Kobe holds the ball, he will definitely not be given time to dribble to adjust his rhythm. The close defense forced him inside.

In the past few times, Kobe relied on his strong waist and abdomen to send the ball into the basket, but gradually, Yi Jianlian figured out the rules of this guy's pulling rod, tried to interfere a few times, and basically succeeded.

Relying on such a three-man defense, Kobe's offensive momentum was finally contained by more than half, and Yi Jianlian, relying on the lead in the matchup, chased back the 5-point gap behind.

49 to 49, by the end of the second quarter, the two teams had a tie.

***
"Coach Phil, why don't I stagger my playing time with Kobe's playing time? This way I can also avoid Yi's playing time!"

Gasol had a suggestion to Phil Jackson at halftime.

He really didn't want to fight against Yi Jianlian anymore. This guy's body was a lot harder than last year. His thin skin and tender flesh couldn't withstand such torture.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with what Pau Gasol said. When he was on the court, Kobe usually ran without the ball, and his sense of presence was very weak. When Kobe took the ball to attack, he couldn't play a supporting role. The talent of the Bucks is usually nothing, the triangle offense, three strong points, everyone attacks once, and the game is won, but the strength of the Bucks is obviously much stronger than the average team, playing a first half, Still equal to them.

It's better to stagger the time to ensure that the Lakers' second rotation lineup also has strong points on the field. The Bucks' bench is notoriously weak in the league. If you make good use of this rotation time, it should be easy to establish an advantage.

"Okay, just do it!"

Although Phil Jackson has no adaptability, he is not stupid. Pau Gasol's method is absolutely effective, and it is worth a try.

***
"Wow, it turns out that the Lakers are still number one in the Western Conference!"

Liu Yifei checked the information of the Lakers during the intermission, "However, the Bucks seem to be quite strong this season, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. No wonder the games between these two teams did not look like the last game. It was such a big disparity with the Magic."

Howard: Who are you mocking?

Sister Mei looked at Liu Yifei's focus on researching information, and was angry and funny: "Hey, my eldest lady, do you know how many domestic media are waiting for you to return to China? You still have the heart to check these? Storm coming soon!"

"I already know, what's the rush." ​​Liu Yifei checked, and suddenly saw something, "Hey? All-star voting, what is this?"

"..." Sister Mei was completely speechless.

This kid is crazy!
***
The second half of the game begins.

Little K looked at Pau Gasol who was sitting on the bench and didn't play, and he didn't react.

Is this because the defensive effect was too poor in the first half and he was punished to sit on the bench?

Little K glanced at Odom, who is now No. [-] on the Lakers field.

Isn't this guy fast too!
He doesn't believe Odom can guard Yi Jianlian.A dubious player like Odom is more suitable for help defense. If you really want to defend alone, you can't keep up with the speed at the third position, and you don't have enough strength at the fourth position. In short, it's embarrassing.

As expected, Yi Jianlian continued various scoring shows.

And the Lakers can respond by relying on Kobe's single firepower.

"its not right!"

Little K glanced at the time. It was already 6 minutes into the third quarter, and Gasol hadn't played yet. What's the situation?Even sitting on the bench shouldn't take him up for so long!
Don't want to win?

"No way?"

Little K suddenly thought of something, and took Yi Jianlian off the court ahead of schedule at 8 minutes, and as soon as he made a substitution, Phil Jackson also immediately substituted him.

Damn, it really is!

Seeing Pau Gasol come on, Fisher come on, Kobe goes off and Odom goes off, Little K's face is a bit ugly, these shameless people, such a substitution, it is clear that our bench is too weak to bully us !
But Xiao K really has no other good solution other than scolding his mother in his heart. It is impossible for Yi Jianlian not to give him a rest. The first half was already very intense, and now he has spent more than half of the second half. If he does not give him enough rest time , How can he have the strength to play the entire fourth quarter?

Not Iron Man!
Only in this way, it is certain that the Lakers will widen the point difference!
Little K shook his head slightly, he could only force himself to accept the coming score difference.

The only fluke he still has in his heart is that he hopes that the Bucks' substitutes can give some strength and try to save a few points from losing.

Pau Gasol has never been a good master, which is fully proved in his 7-year resume as the boss of the Grizzlies, but he is definitely a good tactical implementer, and Phil Jackson also likes to use this very much Guys, it can be seen from Pau Gasol's playing time.

37 minutes!

He should be the only player on any NBA team who has played more minutes than the team leader.

Kobe Bryant is averaging 36.1 minutes per game this season.

It can also be seen from here, how important Pau Gasol is to this team in sorting out tactics.

The Lakers who played in the rotation lineup are not only Pau Gasol, but also Fisher, who is also a player who can play according to tactics.

Under the combing of the two of them, the Lakers played a wave of 4-12 scoring in the last 5 minutes of the third quarter.

71 to 66.
The Bucks trailed by 5 points.

　The fourth update, there are two more.
