Chapter 75 Half-way over

Faced with Ke Yan's "strange move", Mike Dunleavy was a little at a loss. He always believed in the famous saying of the famous Japanese high school forward Takenori Akagi, "Controlling the basket can control the entire court." Little did he know that basketball today is no longer what it was in the 1990s.

As the saying goes, "A soldier has no constant potential, and a water has no constant shape." Basketball never has only one solution!

The Lakers ended the first quarter with a 34-23 lead.

In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers focused on the defensive end. When Brand was playing singles in the low post, they resolutely double-teamed Brand and left Livingston open during the rotation. His three-point shooting ability was almost

There is zero, and even the mid-range shot threat is not very great. Although the huge space allowed allows him to attack the basket, the crowded environment under the basket is really not conducive to his breakthrough.

From this perspective, the Clippers' team-building ideas are a bit confusing. Brand and Kaman are standing in the penalty area, and it is difficult for Livingston to create a threat through breakthroughs. And Livingston's weak shooting ability makes Brand and Kaman

Kaman is more likely to be flanked.

They are obviously capable players, but due to the unreasonable lineup structure and the conflict of playing styles, they are unable to exert their due combat effectiveness. After completing the defense in time, the Lakers immediately launched a quick counterattack, allowing the Clippers to lose two players.

The inside line was exhausted, and the point difference widened further in the second quarter, leading by 17 points at 58:41 at halftime.

In the second half of the game, Mike Dunleavy replaced Livingston with Jaric to strengthen the team's outside shooting ability. At the same time, he resolutely launched an attack from the low post. Brand and Kaman took turns driving inside. Dunleavy hoped that the two of them would work in the low post.

Destroying the Lakers' inside combination, forcing the Lakers to launch a double attack, and then playing inside-out, creating shooting opportunities for Kittles and Bobby Simmons.

However, Dunleavy's defensive ability in the interior of Odom-Diop's combination is somewhat at a low point. Although the former is a "point guard among power forwards", his body is definitely first-class. Compared with Jamison, Antoine Walker and the like,

Odom's shooting is not that accurate, but his defensive ability is much better, especially when defending Boozer and short insiders like Brand, who can cover the opponent with his slender body, and Diop

As the Lakers' number one human shield against big guns like O'Neal and Duncan, he is also top-notch in terms of defense in the penalty area.

The Lakers insisted on a single defense strategy inside. Although they could not completely limit the Clippers' offense, Brand was not very efficient and naturally could not drive the Clippers' outside shooters.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led by 13 points, 78:65. Although the lead was eroded, at least the team saved enough money in the first half and the situation was still favorable to the Lakers.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ke Yan sent a strange formation of House, Atkins, Butler, Barnes and Odom to confront the Clippers' substitutes, catching Dunleavy off guard. House, Barnes

After hitting three-pointers respectively, Butler and Odom also hit singles one after another. The Lakers worked hard to open the point difference to more than 20 points again, turning the game into garbage time.

The final score was fixed at 107:93. The remaining Lakers defeated the city rival Clippers at home, winning two consecutive games and also setting the team's half-season record at 27 wins and 14 losses.

This result is generally in line with the expectations of the Lakers management, but it was won by Ke Yan with great efforts.

To a certain extent, starting my coaching career with this Lakers team is a bit of a loss. On the surface, it seems that it is natural to reach the playoffs and even achieve better results, but otherwise it means that I am incompetent.

At the end of the game, Ke Yan was stopped by a reporter from ESPN for an interview.

"Congratulations Kimi, for winning your first Los Angeles Derby. Without Kobe, this game was very difficult for you, but you still led the team to victory. Do you think you won this game?

Where?"

"Kobe's injury is a big loss for us. Fortunately, other players digested part of his ball rights and produced corresponding output. Lamar and Dessa Gener guarded our penalty area and gave Bu

Rand and Kaman caused trouble, which is the key to the game. Kobe is not here, and we have to find new ways to win. Fortunately, we seized the opportunity in this game." Ke Yan pointed out that the key to winning is in the paint.

Defense, especially in the third quarter, Odom and Diop withstood the onslaught of Brand and Kaman, which was really the key to the game.

"Will Kobe's comeback be after the All-Star Game? Will he participate in the All-Star Game?" After the reporter asked this question, he suddenly showed a weird smile. Just as Ke Yan was preparing to answer this question, his scalp felt cold and he drank several glasses of ice water.

I drank it from the back of my head....

"OMG!" Ke Yan subconsciously thought it was some player who caused the prank. He turned around and saw that it was Wang Lifan and Tian Fuzhen. He was angry and laughing.

"Haha~" The prank was half successful. Wang Lifan and Tian Fuzhen could only reach the back of Keyan's head, but the effect looked even more funny. Both girls laughed heartily.

"Sorry, I have to go back to the locker room to clean up~" Ke Yan apologized to the reporter, shook hands with the reporter, then turned around, and naturally gave Wang Lifan and Tian Fuzhen a slap on the head.

Appearing in front of the two girls again, Ke Yan put on a windbreaker and jeans, taking a cool and handsome route. He was completely different in style from him in a suit.

"Let's go, ladies, let's go have supper." Ke Yan said, holding up his arms and gesturing for the two girls to hold his arms.

But Wang Lifan "flyed" and kicked Ke Yan on the calf: "Hebe is an artist, don't make such a joke with her!"

"Huh?" Ke Yan hugged Wang Lifan, but was a little confused. She can pour water on my head, but I can't joke with her?

"I'm an unpopular singer~" Hebe looked at Ke Yan and Wang Lifan in his arms with a strange expression and introduced himself.

"I feel familiar. I may have seen your performance, but I haven't been back to China for a long time." Ke Yan explained.

I originally wanted to go home for a while every summer, but last summer I just happened to change jobs, so I didn’t go back.

"Then you don't usually listen to music, right?" Wang Lifan guessed.

"Listen... Jay Chou~" Ke Yan said with a wry smile.

Well, Wang Lifan and Tian Fuzhen both responded with tacit understanding and rolled their eyes.

"OK, I will search for 'Tian Fuzhen' when I get back tonight, and then listen to all the songs before going to bed!" Ke Yan raised three fingers and promised.

"You'd better keep your word, we'll come to take the test with you tomorrow!" Wang Lifan punched his chest with a small fist and said fiercely.

While they were talking, the three of them came to the parking lot to pick up the car. Ke Yan asked the two girls for their opinion on having a late night snack.

"You have two choices, either eat chocolate puffs~"

"Either you are too soft-hearted to eat Belgium~"

"They are all high-sugar sweets!" Ke Yan frowned, "I don't care, are you okay with it?"

"I know you've been under a lot of stress recently, so I want you to absorb more dopamine and feel better~"

Finding a girlfriend who is a doctor is different. The way you relieve stress for your boyfriend is very special.

If you find a model girlfriend, you can only use bed exercises to soothe your boyfriend's wounded heart!

"..." It seems that the latter is more effective.
