Chapter 86 Defeating the Enemy and Victory

Yahoo Sports immediately reported the news that the Lakers and Mavericks had reached a deal. Immediately, the deal started to be discussed online.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the bargaining chips paid by both parties in this transaction are not equal. Many people do not understand the transaction under such circumstances.

Amateur fans have complained in various ways, and they all feel that no matter how serious Finley's decline is, he still averages 15 points per game and will not be reduced to a swap with Grant.

When the fans had enough "scolding", ESPN's trade rating suddenly gave the Mavericks a B: Dallas does not need to be troubled by the loss of Michael Finley. The promulgation of the "Allan Houston Clause" gives each team the opportunity to trade without occupying salary space.

Under certain circumstances, a player should be laid off. Fans can be emotional, but the management must clearly analyze whether the least cost-effective contract in the team will affect the team's future operations. Nelson did this. Finley's departure left a lasting impression on the team.

The playing time can be filled by Devin Harris, Daniels, and Stackhouse. The addition of Grant at least adds an inside option to Johnson's team. The most important thing is that in the summer, Cuban

Bet 20 million!

On the other hand, the Lakers, whose strength has improved, only received a B- rating. ESPN believes that the Lakers have invested too much in the wings and that the personnel vacuum inside is a hidden danger for the team's future.

"Kimi is going further and further on the road to succeeding Nelson!" This is the final evaluation given by ESPN.

After the physical examination, the transaction still needs to be confirmed by the league's documents, so Finley will miss the third Los Angeles Derby this season. Arriving at the Staples Center in casual clothes, Finley was in a good mood and chatted with his teammates and coaches.

I said hello.

"Hello, Michael." Ke Yan naturally high-fived and bumped chests with Finley, acting very easy-going.

It was the first time for Finlay to cooperate with a coach who was younger than him. But thinking that he liked Keyan's tactical style, Finlay readily accepted the fact.

The only regret is that after coming to the Lakers, he had to play as a substitute!

"I'm very happy to have a shooter like you join the team. We need you to help the team continue its firepower in the transition period of the game." Straight to the point, Ke Yan revealed his plan to use Finley, "You also know that our inside line has appeared.

Manpower issues. We will also use a small lineup for a considerable part of the game."

"Kimi, don't worry. If you are only willing to give me five minutes of competition, I will give my best within five minutes."

Finley's character is like this. When he came to the Mavericks from the Suns, he was the team's only hope. In 1998, two young people from a foreign country joined the Mavericks. It was Finley who protected them with his shoulders and helped them win.

With the growth of Nowitzki and Nash, Finley's ball rights have repeatedly declined; after Nash left, Terry and Stackhouse further divided his ball rights, and he still had no complaints.

...Looking at the entire NBA, there are not many honest people like this!

Ke Yan laughed and stretched out his hand, "Then I wish our cooperation will be successful!"

This Los Angeles Derby is still very important to Keyan personally.

In the last game before the All-Star break, the team defeated the Bulls at home; in the first game after the All-Star break, the team counterattacked the Mavericks away from home. He was only one step away from winning three consecutive games for the first time since he took charge, which is certainly worthy of him.

Looking forward to it!

Not to mention, there is also the promise of girlfriend Wang Lifan, "a reward for three consecutive wins"!

The excellent bounce allowed Anderson to win the jump ball again. With Birdman, the Lakers' chance of winning the jump ball is as high as 80%!

Stretching his right wrist forward, he caught the ball in the air. Atkins paused for a moment, then like an arrow from the string, he quickly rushed towards the opponent's half. This is what Ke Yan asked of him, with the speed he is good at.

, disrupting the Clippers' defense. The creator is fair. Livingston has the advantage in height, but he will definitely suffer in terms of agility.

Atkins tried to break through but was blocked by Livingston. He distributed the ball in time and Kobe hit a running jumper.

When the Clippers attacked, Livingston's through ball handed the ball to Brand. Odom immediately got up and blocked Brand with his left shoulder.

Dribbling the ball on the right hand while pushing backwards, Brand's inside confrontation ability is very good. Odom supported the first shot, but still couldn't withstand his continuous impact and gave up his position under the basket. Look.

Brand hit the rebound under the basket.

With one man missing inside, Mike Dunleavy's idea is to attack the Lakers' inside at all costs.

The Lakers continued to attack. Kobe received the ball at half court and tried several breakthroughs, attracting the opponent's attention from outside. Odom was free at the free throw line. Kobe's ball came over in time. Odom pushed and the ball was in the basket.

I jumped on the basket a few times, but finally fell into the basket.

On the way back to defense, Odom took a deep breath. When he took the shot just now, he felt something was wrong. Fortunately, he was lucky today and the ball still went in. Otherwise, his teammates' pass would have been wasted.

Livingston dribbled the ball across half court, attracting Kobe Bryant to switch defense and handed the ball to Kittles. The Mosquito shooter received the ball, suddenly started, and made an emergency stop jump shot. Although the ball bounced off the rim, it still failed.

Caused Atkins' defensive foul.

A foul on Kittles is equivalent to giving away points.

After the opening, the focus of both teams was on offense. The score was 16:14 in the first half of the game. The Lakers relied on the outstanding performance of the entire team to gain a 2-point lead.

But the situation cannot be said to be very favorable to the Lakers. The Clippers' strategy of attacking the inside still gave the Lakers a headache. Brand and Kaman's skill points were all directed to the low attack point, which happened to hit the Lakers' seven-inch

!

During the official timeout, Ke Yan made personnel adjustments. Diop replaced Anderson, Delfino replaced Butler, and Eddie House replaced Atkins. They used the appearance of the two shooters to help the team better pull the ball.

Open up space for attack.,

This adjustment had an immediate effect. After returning from the timeout, Kobe had an explosion. First, he hit a long three-point shot from the right wing. Then he completed hand-to-hand coordination with Odom, broke into the basket and faced Kaman's defensive pull-up layup. Not only did he pass the ball

Entering the basket even caused Kaman a shooting foul.

During the period after the All-Star Game, Kobe's performance surprised Ke Yan. Not only was his personal offensive status gratifying, but he was also able to try to drive his teammates in the opening stages of the game.

This change happened to Kobe this season, which was beyond Ke Yan's expectation.

After returning from the timeout, the point difference immediately widened to 8 points. Dunleavy was a little unhappy and replaced Kittles with Maggette to enhance the team's impact.

Maggette's appearance enhanced the Clippers' ability to fight. After two consecutive strong hits, Ke Yan changed his formation again.

In the last game against the Mavericks, Odom's "big lineup" as a guest point guard began to take shape. In this game, Ke Yan once again used it. Barnes replaced House, and the Lakers only had five inside players.

Stack three in one breath.

This time, the defense in the penalty area can be said to be impregnable!

Anyway, both of the team's point guards are incompetent, so Ke Yan doesn't feel any burden at all when he lets Odom serve as a guest point guard.

In fact, it is very easy to crack. As long as there is a small defender with fast speed and strong breakthrough, there is a high probability that he can kill seven in and seven out.

However, reaction time is always required when facing strange moves. Johnson replaced Devin Harris too late, and Dunleavy did not have this type of player!

The Clippers couldn't break through Ke Yan's adjustment, and the point difference quickly widened. On the Lakers' bench, Finley looked at Ke Yan, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and felt a little more approving.

He likes this kind of coach who always has fantastic ideas when faced with difficult situations.
