Chapter 157 Backcourt Rebound
The Rockets continue to play on the court, regardless of whether they can shoot or not, they still have to shoot.
The Rockets just got Harden this year. There are a lot of young players in the team, plus a veteran signed with a basic salary. There is no record pressure.
The team has an open tactic on the offensive end. Jeremy Lin runs to the frontcourt when he gets the ball in the backcourt. Anyone on the outside can attack with the ball if they have a chance.
The offensive end is a three-point axe. After the pick-and-roll, attack the basket or score the ball. If the outside line quickly counterattacks and catches the ball, it will shoot a three-pointer. If it fails, James Harden will handle the ball.
After being beaten 11:0, the ball was handed over to Harden. Harden knew that the team needed to score.
Jeremy Lin came over and made a pick-and-roll for Harden, and the Lakers switched to Nash to match Harden.
This is bad, Nash's defensive ability, Harden did not hesitate to attack.
After he dribbled the ball from his crotch, he broke through from the left and went straight to the basket. Nash's footsteps failed to keep up, and Li Liang stepped forward to help defend.
But he had a foul on his back, and he didn't dare to make it easily. He stuck to Harden and watched him make a layup.
This ball can't be helped. Harden has only entered the league for the fourth year, but he already has quite comprehensive offensive skills.
After coming to the Rockets, the whole team took him as the core and unleashed Harden's organizational and offensive talents.
As for Lao Na, Li Liang didn't bother to scold him anymore, so what else could he do? Let's pat his head more often as punishment.
Anyway, he also cut that flowing long hair, so it doesn't matter if it is a little less.
The Rockets relied on Harden to break the deadlock on the field, but the situation is still under the control of the Lakers.
Li Liang played very well. The Rockets did not make any targeted defensive arrangements due to the long-term absence of the head coach.
So the two sides are attacking each other, and Li Liang's advantage of three-pointers is brought into play again.
Bryant took full advantage of his defensive appeal to create three-point shots from the perimeter.
Like Du Hong, Ci Shiping, and Morris, he doesn't want to pass it on at all, and if you pass it on, you won't be able to vote.
Is it easy for Kobe Bryant to pass the ball? Still don't cherish it?
Li Liang cherishes it very much. This season, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 52%, and he strives to hit every open shot.
With such a shooting percentage, Kobe is of course willing to pass the ball to him.
On the defensive end, Li Liang played well at the power forward position, and he protected the backboards better.
Of course, when Harden, Jeremy Lin, Morris and others attacked the basket, Li Liang could not stop them.
His ability to protect the rim is far from enough to protect the Lakers' restricted area.
But as Tomjanovich said, "Protect the rebound, don't foul, get it back on offense."
After the Lakers established an advantage in the first quarter, they have maintained a lead of about 10 points.
Kobe is in very good form. Although Nash is a poor defensive player, he is slowly finding his role as an offensive sorter.
With him, at least for ten to fifteen minutes, the Lakers' offense played more methodically.
Li Liang made 2 of 5 three-pointers in the first half. He also completed two pick-and-rolls and followed along, scoring 10 points efficiently.
At the same time, he grabbed 6 backcourt rebounds and helped the Lakers 60:45, ending the first half with a 15-point advantage.
During the intermission, Mike Brown patted Li Liang on the shoulder and said straightly: "Good job kid, you can even play inside."
The beauty in Brown's heart, I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect to succeed in it.
Now besides the point guard, I don't know what other positions he can't play?
Because Li Liang's ball control is really average, it's not that he can't dribble, but he can't fight.
But it’s not sure, maybe one day, if you talk about it and ask him to practice dribbling and ball control, he will really practice it?
Li Liang gave Brown a supercilious look, thinking, do you know how much I have paid for this team?
Just know to pick up the fruit and eat it.
After the game, someone might want to say, "Mike Brown dared to use people and turned the second-round rookie into the second Boris Diaw."
Pooh, I made him the second Popovich almost.
The situation of the Lakers in the first half was very good, but the Rockets will not give up easily. They have always been known for their tenacious combat effectiveness.
At the same time, the side effects of Gasol's absence are also emerging.
First of all, Li Liang mentioned that after starting the game, the Lakers' bench became stretched.
Only Jamison can be used on the front line, and his defense is really unwatchable.
In the inside position, only Jordan Hill can stand up for a while, but his buttery hands at the basket make people's hair go numb.
The Rockets saw the flaws of the Lakers' second lineup. In the third quarter, Delfino, Greg Smith, Tony Douglas, Marcus Morris, and Harden made four shots. Grab the lineup.
Jordan Hill can't stop Greg Smith at all.
Smith, who was originally rough, seemed to be oiled up tonight, with all kinds of sudden dunks after receiving the ball, turning around and picking the basket with his left hand, and throwing shots with high rebounds under the basket.
He also actively scrambled to provide three-point ammunition for Delfino and Douglas on the outside.
The Rockets don't care, let's shoot from the outside, the three-pointer is a crazy shot.
Harden's shooting percentage was terrible tonight, but he still passed the ball, slipping the baseline and hitting the ground to Greg Smith.
After chasing 7 points in a row, the point difference between the two sides was reduced to 8 points.
Mike Brown was scratching his head. Without Li Liang's firepower as a substitute, it was much harder to attack.
And whether it is Duhon or Morris, the offensive ability is enough.
Stealing two or three goals in a game counts as completing the task, and then asking them to take the burden and organize the offense is really a bit strong.
The main players can only come on stage early, and Mike Brown once again asked Li Liang to protect the backboards.
But once the opponent's state is up, it doesn't mean that he can press it down.
Greg Smith played the best performance of his career tonight. He scored consecutive points in the third and fourth quarters and scored a career-high 15 points.
Just to eat cakes, to grab offensive rebounds, and to block Kobe on the defensive end.
The point difference between the two sides is getting closer and closer. In the fourth quarter, with 3 minutes before the end of the game, Douglas made a three-pointer, reducing the difference between the two sides to only 2 points.
The two role players of the Rockets, one inside and one outside, burst out with tremendous energy.
The Lakers' offense stalled, and the defense was shattered by the Rockets' aggressive rebounding.
Li Liang now has a deeper understanding of Tomjanovich's words, and sure enough, the rebounder wins the world.
Protecting the rebound won't necessarily win you the game, because basketball is a scoring game.
But having rebounds will make you play more easily and steadily, and it will be easier to maintain your own rhythm.
The Lakers were aggressively scrambled by the Rockets, which messed up the rhythm, the defensive formation, and the offense and the Rockets fell into a chaotic battle.
The Rockets are the one chasing points, and they just want to fight this kind of chaotic battle.
The Lakers are the leading team, they should play for efficiency, play positions, and waste time while playing.
But the basketball game is like this, it can't always be played in the way you expected, especially on the road.
Rockets fans who didn't arrive in the first quarter arrived one after another, forming a sea of red in the fourth quarter.
Wave after wave of red waves brought tremendous pressure to the Lakers.
Mike Brown called a timeout, and he was going to arrange an offensive tactic.
Without Gasol, the Lakers' offensive system collapsed and became more reliant on Kobe.
Kobe has scored 37 points in this game. He is still at the MVP level on the offensive end, and also on the defensive end-but he is the MVP of the CBA.
At the end of the timeout, the Rockets still left Greg Smith, Tony Douglas and Delfino on the field.
Paired with Parsons and Harden, this is a very aggressive lineup.
As a firefighting teammate, Delfino played a very important role in the Rockets.
But there is a problem with this lineup, that is, the defense of positional warfare is not good.
You can fight for a while, but it's hard to talk about serious defense.
The Lakers serve the sideline and Li Liang serves.
Nash came out to catch the ball, and Kobe suddenly started. With the help of Howard's screen, he cut to the basket at 45 degrees, and Nash made a lob pass to Kobe's hands.
But the Rockets have already deployed an iron barrel formation in the interior, and the three are encircled!
In the past, Kobe must have shot a ball like this. He was so close to the basket and only had three defenses, so he must have shot!
But this time Bryant jumped into the air, twisted suddenly, and passed the ball into the corner.
After serving the ball, Li Liang was already standing in the open space in the corner. He received a pass from Kobe and shot directly.
Three points hit!
A key corner three-pointer, this is the position where Li Liang has the highest hit rate.
It's really not easy, Mike Brown actually successfully arranged a serve tactic after a timeout, which is enough for him to blow for a year.
Li Liang once again played the role of a big heart. In fact, his heart has always been quite big, as evidenced by not missing free throws at critical moments in Kentucky in the past.
It's just that in the past, I was powerless and not capable enough, so I had to go up and make free throws.
At 91:96, the Lakers led the Rockets by five points.
The Rockets still had a chance. After Harden had the ball at half court, he drove to the basket again, came out from the baseline, and wanted to pass the ball to Greg Smith.
But the ball was seen through by Li Liang and blocked between the two of them. The Rockets played several times in the third quarter, so how could you let them play again.
Harden had to shoot himself. Tonight he only hit 3 shots and used 18 shots.
The 19th shot, still missed!
The ball hit the front of the basket with too little force. I don't know why I went there last night.
Greg Smith wanted to step forward to grab an offensive rebound again, but Li Liang stuck him firmly behind him.
Outside Nash ran in and picked up a backcourt rebound.
Then, Nash made a long pass from a super long distance, which was directly sent to the fast-down Kobe.
In the case of the team without a speed striker, Kobe became the backbone of the Lakers' fast break.
After catching the ball, he successfully dunked with one arm! Two attacks, all of a sudden opened the score.
The Rockets can only request a timeout.
Li Liang could reach 10 with one more rebound, and he would get his first double-double this season.
But in the face of statistics and victory, of course he chose... I want them all!
Back from the timeout, the Rockets ran out of tactics, Tony Douglas was empty in the left corner and made a three-pointer!
Douglas played super-level tonight, making 7 of 16 shots and scoring 22 points, a career high.
But he missed a crucial three-pointer.
All the Rockets players under the basket crowded over to grab this offensive rebound.
But the rebound of the three-pointer was a bit far away. Li Liang was in the right position and picked up a rebound.
He firmly controlled the ball, a very critical backcourt rebound!
In the last minute, the Lakers don't need to worry about the possession of the ball.
If the Rockets defend the ball, they still have a little chance.
If you get scored by the Lakers again, you can GG.
The offensive ball was still handed over to Kobe, who wanted to put the last nail in the rocket's coffin.
He chose to forcefully kill the inside line, and under the siege of the three of them, he fell back and made a jumper!
Live up to expectations, hit the iron!
Li Liang slapped his thigh and scolded: "You vote for Nima's vote, you don't know the time!"
The Rockets grabbed a rebound from the backcourt and launched a quick counterattack.
Harden took the ball and rushed in the middle. Just when he was about to start near the free throw line, he suddenly felt his muscles tighten.
Then the ball in his hand was stolen!
It was Li Liang, who activated [Death Coil]!
Death Coil is not 100% successful in stealing, but Harden's protection of the ball is obviously not in place.
Li Liang, who succeeded in stealing the ball, was surrounded by the Rockets, and he immediately called a timeout.
With this break, there were still more than 50 seconds before the end of the game. After a timeout, the Rockets fouled and sent Nash to the free throw line.
Let Nash go to free throws, it is simply a point, two free throws, 9 points difference.
The rocket's death sentence was pronounced.
After a while of chasing points, they fell short in the end.
And Li Liang used a key steal and key rebound to help the Lakers win and avoid losing streak.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the achievement "The First Double Double", and you will get a lucky draw chance, please enter the system to check. 】
