Chapter 151 A goal dedicated to UCLA
The Heat's lineup is very fixed, except for occasional changes in point guards, basically maintaining the inherent starting lineup.
Of course, the Lakers' lineup is more stable. As long as the Big Four are not injured, they will definitely start.
At the small forward position, it is Devin George, a player who is not bad for three-pointers.
It's not bad, it's because the Big Four attract defenses, and Devin George got too many open opportunities.
But even so, the answer he handed over was barely acceptable.
This point is definitely what each team will basically focus on when facing the Los Angeles Lakers.
With the referee kicking off, the game officially began.
On the basketball court at the Staples Center, Chen Mo finally saw the Big Four for the first time.
Suppressing the distress, Chen Mo quickly activated the 2K system. As the skill points continued to decrease, the data of the Big Four appeared in front of him.
Name: Shaq O'Neal
Nickname: Big Shark
Team: Los Angeles Lakers
Dominant hand: right hand
Comprehensive: 95
……
Name: Kobe Bryant
Nickname: Peter Pan
Team: Los Angeles Lakers
Dominant hand: right hand
Comprehensive: 96
……
Name: Karl Malone
Nickname: Postman
Team: Los Angeles Lakers
Dominant hand: right hand
Comprehensive: 88
……
Name: Gary Payton
Nickname: Gloves
Team: Los Angeles Lakers
Dominant hand: right hand
Comprehensive: 86
……
Looking at these data, Chen Mo resisted the discomfort and complained, "It's really not a thing, so let people play it?"
Among the four, Gary Payton has the lowest evaluation, but he still has an ability value of 86.
This ability value, if he hadn't joined the Lakers, he could still lead a team as one of the core.
After all, last year, Gary Payton and Karl Malone were both at the 20+ level.
Not surprisingly, O'Neal jumped to the first ball for the Lakers. Although he is as fat as a mountain, he can bounce really well.
The Lakers attacked at halftime, and the first ball was O'Neal's low post, a very strong position.
It has to be said that as the most powerful low-post killer in the league today, O'Neal's low-post lethality cannot be underestimated by anyone.
No, O'Neal is about to ask for the ball, and Brad Miller has already circled forward to defend for the first time.
There is no shame in defending O'Neal by going around the front. If he can defend, he may be able to greatly increase his strength.
Just relying on defense around the front will definitely not be able to prevent O'Neal, let alone Gary Payton passing the ball.
No, Chen Mo has let go of Devin George a little bit, and is ready to help defend at any time.
Failing to pass the ball in, Gary Payton had to give up and was about to let Karl Malone come out for a pick-and-roll.
But at this time, Kobe suddenly came to the three-point line and asked for the ball, obviously for singles.
This made Gary Payton hesitate, whether to play tactics or let Kobe play singles?
This is the disadvantage of a team with a large number of stars. After all, there is only one basketball.
After thinking about it, Gary Payton gave up and simply passed the ball to Kobe. As for him, he opened up space for Kobe.
After all, this is just an unimportant game, not to mention that he and Karl Malone are just passers-by for the Lakers.
Kobe faced Eddie Jones with the ball. This guy didn't have the slightest idea of mercy.
A cross step, directly bullying Eddie Jones was too old to keep up with him, and rushed over.
Fortunately, although Eddie Jones is old, he still has defensive experience. Facing his former younger brother, he doesn't want to be beaten too badly.
Karl Malone was at 45 degrees on the other side, and Grant didn't dare to help defend easily. After all, Karl Malone's mid-range shot was very threatening.
As for Brad Miller, he didn't dare to help defend easily. After all, O'Neal is here, who would dare to let him go easily.
The only good news is that there are too many people in the three-second zone, and there is not much space left, and Kobe didn't dare to bury his head in it.
And at this moment, Chen Mo mysteriously appeared on the sidelines, and Eddie Jones began to double-team Kobe.
The reason why Chen Mo did this is very simple. Instead of letting Kobe fight one-on-one, it is better to let Devin George open.
Not only facing Kobe, in fact, facing the Big Three, Chen Mo also thought the same way.
Therefore, the Heat's tactic today is Chen Mo's help defense, directly letting go of Devin George's unlimited help defense.
As for being voted away by Devin George and killing the Heat, that's something that can't be helped.
Facing a team like the Lakers, there is always a trade-off. It is difficult to win the game without taking a gamble.
Sure enough, Kobe didn't pass the ball at the first time. Facing the double-teaming of two people, for him, it was almost the same as an open space.
What's more, Kobe was worried about not being able to match Chen Mo just now, but now his chance has come.
Facing Chen Mo's double-team, Kobe first turned his back, then leaned against Eddie Jones, and then turned over and shot a jumper.
Chen Mo reacted very quickly, even risking a foul and directly blocked it.
There was a little bit of physical contact, but the good news is that the referee didn't whistle. It seems that the referee intends to minimize whistleblowing because today's game has attracted a lot of attention.
Sure enough, Kobe was disturbed, and he missed the mid-range fallback. Brad Miller tried to control the rebound.
On the other side, Steve Blake had already received the ball for the first time, and then accelerated to cross half court.
This is also the tactic of the Heat today. Facing the Lakers, they must play fast and bully the two big men inside.
O'Neal's weight and Malone's age are all things that can be targeted at the Lakers.
It is not necessary to make a fast break, but the rhythm must not be slowed down. This has always been the way to deal with powerful centers.
Whether it's O'Neill or Yao Ming, running a few more rounds like this will definitely not be enough physically.
The reason why Blake was chosen in this game is because he is calm enough and will not fight like Mo Williams.
Blake squeezed the tempo, then handed the ball to Brad Miller, who responded in the high post.
Eddie Jones was very uncomfortable being entangled by Kobe, and there was no good chance, but at this time, Chen Mo suddenly appeared.
A wonderful back run, instantly got rid of Devon George, and went directly to the inside of the Lakers.
At this time, O'Neill was pulled outside, unable to return to defense for a while, and unable to restrain Chen Mo.
In fact, O'Neal is more suitable for guarding the rim. As for the task of defending Brad Miller, it is best to hand over to Karl Malone.
It's a pity that the Heat's fast offensive and defensive rhythm didn't give the Lakers time to change their defense at all.
Chen Mo jumped high, and Brad Miller's pass just landed in his hands, and then Chen Mo slammed it hard into the basket.
"boom!"
2:0
There was a tsunami of shouts and tsunami, especially the fans of UCLA, who shouted frantically.
Chen Mo quickly lifted up the jersey, revealing a vest, which happened to be printed with the logo and words of the UCLA Bruins.
Obviously, Chen Mo used this goal to thank UCLA and the UCLA fans.
Seeing this scene, a small number of fans burst into tears, while more became more and more excited and excited.
The UCLA fans are happy, but the Lakers players on the court are very unhappy. This is our territory.
The first to bear the brunt are naturally O'Neal and Kobe, both of whom regard themselves as the bosses of the team, and they need to protect their own territory.
"Gary, give me the ball later," O'Neal said.
Kobe also said: "Gary, I will teach that kid a lesson."
Seeing that Malone was hesitant to speak, Gary Payton was a little bit overwhelmed. Who the hell stipulated that there can only be one ball in a basketball game?
The Lakers attacked, and O'Neal entered the inside strongly and began to ask for the ball. Brad Miller was a little powerless to deal with it.
Just as Gary Payton was about to pass the ball, the Lakers noticed a figure floating beside him. Who else could it be if it wasn't Chen Mo?
As for Devin George, Chen Mo had already given up on him at this time, and he looked like he was going to double-team O'Neill at any time.
Gary Payton really didn't dare to pass the ball to O'Neal like this, it was easy to be intercepted.
As for the pass to Devin George who was open, after thinking about it, he gave up because Kobe was already asking for the ball.
