Chapter 152 Opening of Marksman
Still passing the ball to Kobe, when Kobe was about to break through, O'Neal had an idea and suddenly ran in another direction to ask for the ball.
Kobe looked at it, and passed the ball reluctantly. Before Chen Mo could help defend again, O'Neal had already run over Brad Miller and went inside, dunking successfully.
There is no way, Chen Mo is alone, and he must double-team both O'Neal and Kobe.
In other words, the strength of the Lakers is not unreasonable, and they can seize even the slightest chance.
Since the Lakers scored the ball and retreated quickly, the Heat did not switch offense too anxiously.
Blake sauntered the ball across half court and handed it to Brad Miller.
On the other side, Grant gave Chen Mo a pick-and-roll, buying Chen Mo a moment of opportunity.
Chen Mo circled to the top of the arc, and Eddie Jones, who had just completed a hand-to-hand cooperation with Brad Miller, immediately passed the ball over.
O'Neill was difficult to defend, not only to protect the inside line, but also his weight and moving speed did not allow it, so he could only watch Chen Mo make a move.
"Shh!"
Without any surprises, Chen Mo made a steady three-pointer.
Through this attack, Chen Mo also found a glimmer of opportunity, that is, the Lakers' defense has problems.
Regardless of the five members of the Lakers, all of them are good defensive players. In fact, they all fight on their own.
Just like just now, it should be Karl Malone and Devin George who switched defenses, but they didn't happen so early.
Perhaps the coach didn't arrange it this way, but it's not difficult to see from this that the Lakers are not fully prepared.
5:2
Kobe deserves to be Kobe. Seeing O'Neal score in the last round, looking back, he also scored a goal.
In the singles match against Eddie Jones, Chen Mo never had a chance to double-team and hit a two-pointer.
5:4
Chen Mo was the first to open up the situation. At the same time, he also started to use the pass to organize the attack.
Brad Miller and Chen Mo completed the pick-and-roll and went 2+1 in front of O'Neal.
It is said that Brad Miller made small defensive moves. This is not nonsense. It is estimated that O'Neal was disturbed a lot today.
No, I was a little anxious just now, and I let Brad Miller complete 2+1.
In addition, Eddie Jones also started to show his power, scoring 4 points from inside and outside, and completed an exquisite cooperation with Chen Mo, and Chen Mo dunked successfully.
Even Steve Blake was very strong, hitting a three-pointer from the outside, and at the same time completed the defense of Gary Payton very well.
But even so, when there were only 2 minutes and 13 seconds left in the game, the score was only 24:23, and the Heat led by one point.
Chen Mo rested, Eddie Jones and Brad Miller, with Caron Butler, and Haslem and Mo Williams were playing.
This is a period of transition, and Chen Mo will not come back until the second quarter.
Throughout the first quarter, Chen Mo made 4 of 4 shots and scored 9 points. Only then did he maintain the score without being pulled away.
Without Chen Mo's presence, especially without Chen Mo's unlimited defense, Kobe began to show off.
With the substitutes, the Lakers began to catch up with the score and completed the overtake.
Caron Butler and Brad Miller scored 5 points together, but it is still not as good as Kobe Bryant scored 7 points.
What's more, don't forget that there is Karl Malone in the Lakers, and Karl Malone also scored.
In the second quarter, Eddie Jones began to score, but Gary Payton is not a vegetarian on the Lakers side.
With 10 minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers had led by 5 points, 36:31.
At this time, Kobe was replaced to rest, O'Neal was replaced, and Gary Payton was replaced.
Looking at this lineup, even if it is half a team, it is no worse than any team, and it is definitely one of the top teams in the league.
To treat O'Neal, it is natural to double-team infinitely. Anyway, he cannot be given a good chance to attack.
As for the shark slashing tactic, to be honest, Chen Mo doesn't like it very much, and neither does Pat Riley.
Shark hacking tactics not only interrupt the opponent's rhythm, but also have their own rhythm.
Of course, in terms of statistics, O'Neal's offensive efficiency is far higher than that of free throws, and the shark-killing tactic can stand the test.
However, in critical periods, such as when the Lakers are attacking fiercely, or when the point difference is still unable to catch up, it is okay to use it once or twice occasionally.
But regardless of the lead or the lag, the game would be too ugly if the shark-slashing tactics were used without restriction.
O'Neal was double-teamed again and had to pass the ball out, but at this time, Chen Mo was dispatched.
With a slight stretch of his hand, the basketball was directly pushed forward, and Chen Mo rushed out with his whole body.
A perfect steal, everyone on the Lakers didn't react, only Devin George followed slowly.
Chen Mo had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Today's Chen Mo was very cautious in his shots, and he rarely reduced his outside three-point shots.
As for the reason, there is only one reason, which is to trigger the marksman's attribute.
Today, if the Heat want to win, without any special circumstances, it will definitely not work.
Chen Mo took a big leap before the free throw line, made a very stretched dunk, and scored two more points.
More importantly, on the 2K system panel, the Marksman Medal kept flashing, which was a sign of being triggered.
36:33
You can defend O'Neal once, but it is absolutely impossible to defend him twice. No, O'Neal's strong attack caused Grant to foul again.
After making 2 of 1 free throws, in the next round, O'Neal once again showed his strength, hitting a three-pointer with a man hanging on his body.
Seeing that the score was about to be opened, Chen Mo finally made a move. First, he shot a cold arrow from beyond the three-point line.
Immediately afterwards, he used his teammates to cover and catch the ball again, and made a very difficult three-pointer with a fallback.
For a while, O'Neill and Chen Mo started to score points, and the two sides fought back and forth.
But the Lakers' lead was being wiped out little by little, and was even overtaken by the Heat again.
Chen Mo's three-pointers are in hot form, and with the same shooting percentage, three-pointers are definitely more efficient than two-pointers.
What's more, O'Neal's free throws are really bad. Although he has been making fouls, he can't convert them into points.
He made 6 of 2 free throws, and it was the 4 free throws missed that put the Lakers at a slight disadvantage.
Phil Jackson is still there, and he didn't realize it until the Heat's score advantage expanded to 8 points.
54:46
With only 2 minutes left in the second quarter, Phil Jackson had no time to make too many challenges.
"Kobe, it's up to you to defend Chen next, don't underestimate this rookie."
Of course Kobe would not take it lightly. In fact, he had applied to actively defend Chen Mo several times.
Chen Mo, who had already scored 24 points in the first half, filled Kobe's eyes with the desire to fight.
Kobe never worried about a stronger opponent, because only a stronger opponent can make him kill happily.
