Chapter 176, Facing Trouble, Activate Your Hole Card.
In the locker room before the game.
The Zen master announced the bad news to everyone.
The Zen master said helplessly: "Lamar's waist is injured, which is caused by excessive fatigue. He needs to rest for a few days. He can't play this game tonight."
Odom, who was doing ice therapy on his waist next to him, apologized to his teammates with an embarrassed face.
waist?
Made!How many times has this guy been with the Kardashians?
Hearing this news, Kobe's expression suddenly turned bad.
Although Odom did not perform well in the last game, he cannot deny his importance to the Lakers lineup. He is one of the pillars inside.
But Kobe didn't know whether Odom was fatigued from playing or from other fatigue.
"Lamar, how do you feel?" Zhou Hang still went to ask Odom.
"Nothing, just a little tired, can't get up, just rest for two days." Odom sighed.
Yesterday, Kardashian obsessed with Odom and stayed in bed all day, and Odom didn't even participate in training.
Zhou Hang could tell that there were some things Odom didn't dare to say to his teammates.
Thinking that his wife is a Kardashian, Zhou Hang was also a little speechless.
That big butt is really the best defensive player.
But it seems that Odom himself has a sex addiction
These two are truly a match made in heaven.
"Fuck, what a hell." Gasol also scolded his mother.
Although Odom didn't say it clearly, most of the Lakers players are men, so they can probably guess what's going on.
All of them looked at Odom with weird eyes.
Now it's the Western Conference finals, and it's really desperate to be so crazy off the court.
Zen Master let the ski man replace Odom in the starting lineup.
The skier's offense is okay, but his defense is incomparable to Odom's. It's basically a big colander.
The Lakers were under serious pressure on the inside in the last game, and I am afraid that the inside will continue to be targeted in this game.
The Lakers, who were originally full of momentum, suffered a blow at the beginning of G2.
Zhou Hang also frowned, this game is really difficult.
5 month 23 day.
Staples Center was full of life early on.
The G2 game started amidst all the attention.
The Spurs adjusted quickly. They knew that when Odom was absent, they attacked the skier.
Skier did worse than Odom against Duncan's offense.
After the game started, the Spurs' outside line also blossomed when the interior offense opened up.
The Lakers did not have the advantage on the court as the outside world guessed.
Both Zhou Hang's and Kobe's offensive rhythms were a bit poor, and the two continued to hit the iron from the outside.
In the first 3 minutes of the game, only Pau Gasol scored a foul on the free throw line for the Lakers.
The Spurs' offense is very reasonable. When they have a clear advantage inside, they combine the inside and outside, and the offense is extremely smooth.
The momentum in the Staples Arena gradually decreased from high.
In the first quarter, the score was 30 to 15. The Lakers fell behind by as much as 15 points at home. They were not better than the previous game, but worse.
Odom's absence directly affected the Lakers' offensive and defensive tactical coordination.
In the second quarter of the game, I originally thought that the Lakers would have Kobe or Zhou Hang stand up, but they didn't stand up.
The Spurs' offensive coordination is still very smooth. They scored the ball in the interior through smooth tactical cooperation again and again.
None of the Lakers players were motivated, and Gasol was still caught in the consumption with Duncan and didn't perform much.
In the second quarter, the Lakers did not prevent the Spurs from further opening up the score.
At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams came to 64 to 36.
The Lakers trailed by as much as 28 points at home.
The Lakers' shooting percentage in the first half was very low, only 28%. Such a shooting percentage is a bit outrageous!
Among them, Zhou Hang made 13 of 2 shots, and his touch was also bleak.
Zhou Hang felt the comfort of Fengfeng Tangshen when he was forging iron.
When he was iron, he was so iron that his mother didn't even know him.
In the locker room during halftime.
The entire Lakers team didn't say a word, and Kobe was rubbing his wrist. In the middle of the game, he held it up a bit, so he wouldn't be unable to play, but it did affect the feel of the game.
"Kobe, are you okay?" Zen Master asked.
"It's okay, it's just that the shooting may have some impact." Bryant admitted frankly.
Zen master looked at Kobe's situation and frowned.
The Lakers were really unlucky tonight.
Odom's back injury, Kobe's wrist injury, Zhou Hang feels strong!
The game that the Lakers were supposed to bounce back has come to this point abruptly.
During the tactical arrangement, Zen master said to Kobe: "Kobe, do you need to take a break in this game?"
Trailing by 28 points in the first half, Zen Master didn't think he could recover.
Kobe looked at Zen master with puzzled eyes, and replied coldly: "No need, the game can still be played, and my body is fine."
The Zen master said: "I still hope that you will preserve your physical fitness and prepare for the next game."
Kobe said firmly to the Zen master: "Phil, since 04, I have always hoped to return to the finals, and now I am going back there. No matter what, this game is not over yet."
Kobe's tone was firm! !
In recent years, Kobe has experienced various dark periods in his life.
The bottom of life and emotion, the bottom of career!
Kobe didn't want to give up the game easily.
Kobe went on to say: "As long as it is not over, this game can still be played!"
Zhou Hang watched this scene quietly, he could feel Kobe's unwillingness.
Kobe would not throw his arms around in times of adversity and tell all his teammates that the game will not be played.
His choice is to face the difficulties!
Even after falling so far behind, he still remained tenacious.
This is one of the qualities that Kobe stands out from other stars.
The Lakers were also touched, Ariza said: "Yes, Phil, we can still chase."
"You can still try it!"
Trailing by 28 points, the proud Lakers haven't tried to fall behind by so many points all season.
But today, they encountered huge trouble in the Western Finals.
Zen master felt the fighting spirit of the Lakers, and he said: "Okay, I hope you can do a good job of defense. If you don't feel good, you should make more breakthroughs to kill and reduce shooting."
"OK!"
"no problem"
"it is good!"
The Zen master then said to Zhou Hang: "Zhou, you need to keep shooting, you have to shoot, we need your three-pointers, so that chasing points is possible!"
Zen Master is very rational and knows that the key to chasing points is Zhou Hang.
Kobe's wrist was injured and his hand feeling was unstable, but Zhou Hang was different, he just didn't find the right rhythm.
As long as Zhou Hang finds the right rhythm, the efficiency of chasing three-pointers will be very high.
Zhou Hang nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I will do my best."
Without any hesitation, Zhou Hang directly activated his hole card.
"Use [status enhancement card] (top level)!"
Zhou Hang originally thought that this card would not be used in this round of the series, but in the end it was used.
Zhou Hang's saying that he will do his best is not just talking, he just wants to do his best to help the team win.
After silently reciting, Zhou Hang could feel his touch returning quickly.
This is an indescribable wonderful feeling! !
When everything was going well, the team encountered difficulties, Zhou Hang chose to stand up without hesitation.
Looking at Zhou Hang, the Zen master also nodded.
Zhou Hang now needs to take on more responsibilities.
Zen master recalled the scene of Zhou Hang's crazy scoring in the regular season.
Zen Master believes that Zhou Hang's offensive explosive power is comparable to Kobe's explosive power.
Especially when Zhou Hang was insane, the offense was a series of attacks.
Kobe needs to keep the ball in his hands all the time, but Zhou Hang doesn't need it, he can show this explosive power without the ball.
Kobe is an all-round offensive player with the ball, almost meaningless without the ball, while Zhou Hang is more of a top offensive player without the ball, almost meaningless with the ball.
Of course, what they almost meant was comparisons with themselves.
On the whole, the offensive comprehensiveness of the two is top-notch! !
It's just that Zhou Hang's style of play relies more on his touch. He rarely gets to the free throw line. Whenever his touch is not accurate, he will struggle a little!
When Zen master emphasized tactics at the end, he said: "In the second half, do a good job of defense first, and then create opportunities for Zhou on the offensive end. Kobe will contain the opponent's defense. Paul, you also cover for Zhou."
Everyone in the Lakers nodded.
Barkley said: "No one would have thought that the Spurs would easily gain a 28-point lead. The Lakers had too many problems in the first half. Kobe and Zhou Hang almost played the worst performance since the playoffs. Odom was absent. Due to the situation, their inside line is almost defenseless against the Spurs, and I hope they can adjust their state in the second half."
Smith said: "9 consecutive wins in the playoffs, the Lakers team is too slack, they should lose a game, they can't be like O'Neal, do not lose a game in the division, and only lose a game in the finals Bar?"
The game continued in the second half.
Both teams have starting lineups.
"come on!"
"Go Lakers!"
"do not give up."
"The Spurs are still very strong, and the Lakers can't be careless."
"It's going to be hard as hell to complete a comeback against the Spurs."
On the sidelines, Gasol sent the ball to Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
The momentum at Staples Arena has dropped a lot since the beginning.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the upper line. Instead of giving the ball to Kobe as in the first half, he let his teammates open the space.
The Lakers spread out up and down.
Ginobili is still defending Zhou Hang.
After the teammates had almost dispersed, Zhou Hang signaled the skier to come up to cover.
After the pick-and-roll, the skier went down, took away Ginobili, and left Ottobo to Zhou Hang.
Ottobo is 2 meters tall and weighs 08 kilograms, which is the standard power forward's height and weight.
Of course, he also has the common problems of other power forwards when facing defenders, that is, not fast enough and not flexible enough.
Dislocation formation!
Facing Ottobo.
Zhou Hang began to dribble continuously under the crotch!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Rapid and exaggerated rhythm transitions.
Zhou Hang tortured Ottobo with changing hands and directions again and again.
Ottobo opened his hands very hard to keep up with Zhou Hang's rhythm.
After Zhou Hang changed direction, he took a strong step on the right side of Ottobo.
Ottobo instinctively turned around and chased back, Zhou Hang quickly kicked the ground and took a step back.
Ottobo wanted to come back with Zhou Hang, but his body was out of control.
"boom!"
Ottobo was knocked down! !
Zhou Hang collects the ball from outside the three-point line and makes a quick jump shot! !
The rhythm is smooth and the touch is soft. After using the hole card, Zhou Hang feels that the basket is as wide as the sea!
"Shh!"
Basketball goes through the heart.
64:39.
Zhou Hanghuang's three-pointer step back after being knocked down was very refreshing.
"Zhou Hang is awesome, and he's knocking people down again."
"Zhou Hang still needs to dribble the ball under his crotch to find the feeling."
"Zhou Hang's crotch dribble is getting more and more aggressive."
"Ottobo defending Zhou Hang is really a nightmare experience, such a shaking makes people feel a little crazy!"
"Ottobo is the sixth player who was knocked down by Zhou Hang this season!!"
"Go Lakers, hurry up and chase points!!"
Staples fans kept cheering the Lakers on.
On the court, Duncan explained to Ottobo: "You don't need to defend his breakthrough, just let him in, and you guard his retreat three-pointer."
Duncan is the commander of the Spurs' defensive system. If he were to defend, he would let Zhou Hang go and let Zhou Hang rush in.
Ottobo nodded.
The Lakers have also tried their best to increase their defensive focus.
Parker dribbles upfield.
The leading score is too big, and the Spurs are also somewhat instinctively relaxed.
Zhou Hang kept pressing on Parker.
Zhou Hang knows how difficult it is to beat the Spurs in such a situation. The Spurs are too stable, and they need to defend desperately every round.
Parker gives the ball to Ginobili on the right.
Ginobili tried Kobe, but it didn't work.
Ginobili gave the ball to Duncan, and Duncan singled Gasol inside.
Gasol pushes Duncan hard away from the basket.
After Duncan hit Gasol two steps, a small hook was raised high.
"frame!"
The basketball hit the front frame hard.
Gasol turned back to protect the rebound.
Finally defending Duncan, Gasol took a deep breath.
Gasol gave the ball to Kobe, and Kobe took the ball upcourt.
Kobe's eyes were looking for Zhou Hang all the time, and Gasol was making an off-ball screen for Zhou Hang.
But Ginobili's defense was very tight, and he didn't give Zhou Hang a chance to catch and shoot.
Zhou Hang went to meet Kobe's hand-off pass.
Kobe made a cover for Zhou Hang and blocked Ginobili.
It was Duncan who came out to help defend. Duncan was really big, and he wouldn't let Zhou Hang take a three-pointer.
Zhou Hang would be afraid of Duncan on the inside, but on the outside, Duncan was also passed by Zhou Hang on the right side.
Zhou Hang hit the inside line, and Ottobo's defense was very passive.
Zhou Hang took a European step! !
The high ball jumped to the right to stagger Ottobo's defense and scored a layup.
64:41.
Zhou Hang scored 5 points in a row, which further boosted the morale of the Lakers team.
Ottobo was a little speechless, Zhou Hang really bullied him for not moving fast enough.
The Spurs' offense came again.
Parker gave the ball to Ottobo who kept asking for the ball inside.
Ottobo faced the skier at this time and wanted to fight back.
Being continuously bullied by Zhou Hang, the clay figurine also got angry.
But Ottobo averaged only 4.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game this season, and the skier's defense is not weak enough to be bullied by blue-collar players.
After consecutive top-defense confrontations, Ottobo's turn and layup also missed.
Gasol once again protected the rebound.
Gasol gives the ball to Kobe.
Kobe dribbles forward.
Zhou Hang continued to run wildly without the ball.
Gasol blocked Ginobili this time, and Zhou Hang ran out of space at a 45-degree position on the right.
The Spurs' defense dropped a notch from the first half.
Leading by too many points, their willingness to defend is also declining.
Kobe Bryant crosses the ball.
Zhou Hang was ready to catch the ball when he was running.
Outside the three-point line, catch the ball, kick the ground, take off, and shoot the ball.
Zhou Hang's textbook-like teaching shots for shooters are staged again!
The basketball draws a beautiful arc.
"Shh!"
64:44.
8 points in a row!
"pause!!"
Popovich was immediately stopped by Zhou Hang's continuous attack!
