basketball never sleeps

Chapter 100 Christmas War ([-])

The Lakers' opening lag was within everyone's expectations.

The Heat's well-structured offensive lineup has become the most troublesome problem in the eyes of other team coaches this season.

The previous game between the Heat and the Pistons has proved that even the highest level of zone defense in the league cannot perfectly limit the Heat.

However, the experienced Tang Shuai still found the only small weakness on the Heat's side.

physical fitness.

Da Fan concealed the physical problems of Mo Wen and O'Neal through a reasonable rotation.

Mo Wen and Ao Pang are also very mature players. Even if they are not physically fit, they seldom show obvious fatigue, and even grit their teeth and explode.

But Tang Shuai, who has been observing the Heat for a long time, can still observe the physical problems of the two from some small details.

Therefore, in the middle of the first quarter, when the Heat were still firmly pressing the Lakers to play, Tang Shuai, who was thinking twice, made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"Increase the speed, discard those cumbersome tactics, give full play to your talents, and try to find the physical confrontation of their core players. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Especially you, Kobe, if you still want to win, you have to use all your strength to be defeated. You have unlimited firepower in this game, but I have one request: you must show your toughness and attitude!"

To sum up, I gave up the conventional tactics, fought back and counterattacked quickly, and went to the Heat Trident to fight more, consuming their physical energy or playing fouls.

Abandoning conventional tactics, do you think that Tang Shuai is breaking his own arm and breaking the pot?
No, Tang Shuai is betting his hopes on the New World...the fourth quarter.

A famous coach also needs to pay attention to the basics. He has only taken over the Lakers for more than 20 games, and the Lakers have changed players and cores.

And Kobe also failed to recover from Zen Master's triangle offense, and still subconsciously likes singles with the ball.

Abandoning tactical scrambles sounds outrageous, but it really fits the needs of the Lakers.

Moreover, in order to maintain the suspense of the Christmas game, Stern invited No. 17 bald whistle to be the referee of the game.

At this time, the league hadn't strengthened the power of referees, and Crawford didn't blow the two whistles that made him "eternal" to Deng, but he is now a very prestigious referee in the league.

What he is best at is interrupting the game with constant calls.

With the Lakers gradually falling behind, the bald head also began to exert strength.

After realizing that the home whistle was getting louder today, Kobe and other Lakers players did not waste their chances.

In the last minute of the first quarter, Kobe held the ball on the edge of the high position and made a three-threat posture. He pretended to observe the running position of his teammates to distract Wade's attention. He leaned forward and rushed towards Wade's right side.

Wade regained his senses and confronted him, but Kobe, who was about to enter the paint, suddenly braked, turned around with his back against Wade, quickly turned to one side, and made a shooting motion with the ball in both hands.

After seeing Wade being pointed up, Kobe also leaned forward decisively. Wade, who had been trained by Mo Wen, subconsciously moved his hand back to avoid someone's touch, but the ball scored and Crawford also rang. The whistle signaled that there would be an additional penalty.

"Damn it, I didn't touch his arm, you shouldn't be punished like this." Wade complained loudly, but the bald head still insisted on his penalty.

After Wade said a few more words, the frowning Mo Wen pulled away Wade who wanted to continue arguing.

He knew that Crawford was not fighting alone at this moment. If it were placed in the anime, there should be a phantom of the president behind the bald head watching the game.

In the Heat's round, after Mo Wen dribbled the ball for half court, Wade began to ask him for the ball.

Mo Wen thought for a second, but he still gave this vigorous young man a favor.

But both he and Wade overestimated Kobe's integrity, or underestimated Kobe's desire for victory.

After a sharp change of direction, Wade seemed to shake Kobe away, and when he could repeat the opening dunk, he didn't expect that Kobe, who had no male and female life recently, just twisted his flexible waist and folded to block it.

Wade originally wanted to get rid of Kobe and continue to break through to the bottom line.

But he didn't expect that he just used a little force in his swinging arm, and Kobe, who had just collided with his muscles just now, was so strong that he fell down while clutching his chest.

For a moment, Wade thought he had acquired some incredible superpower.

The bald head blew the whistle as promised, and Wade felt that he was going to split in place, so he quickly hugged his head.

Seeing this, Tang Shuai showed a gratified smile.

Beautiful, Kobe really knows how to be tough.

Isn't it tough enough to take such a heavy arm and just fall down?
As expected, the bald man blew his whistle, indicating that Wade was fouled by dribbling the ball, and the linesman also gave the same penalty.

Seeing the referee's penalty, Wade and other Heat players hadn't reacted yet, and Fan's blood pressure was full first.

"Will you blow it? Kobe hasn't established a defensive position yet, he obviously fell to the ground on purpose!"

The bald head hesitated for half a second, and quickly regained his firmness, "I and Condi (the lines referee) both saw that Dwyane's action was too big. It was true that he pushed Bryant down. Our judgment is no problem, please Stay sane, Coach Van Gundy!"

"Shit, this is the players' game, what are you bragging about, are you going to ruin the game? You bastards!" Da Fan was still dancing emotionally, Mo Wen and the assistant coach stopped him and gagged his mouth.

In all fairness, they were also very angry, but they also knew very well that if Da Fan continued to spray like this, he might be about to suffer.

Mo Wen didn't see too many black whistles in the dungeon. Generally speaking, he couldn't make up for it in normal ways. Even if he didn't make it right, he would be targeted by the referees like Rashid.

The reason why Rashid has so many technical fouls is because he can’t control his emotions and likes to spray shit on people, and he also likes to talk about some league prejudices, and these prejudices will just affect the referee’s judgment. Rashid said The truth, as a result, all the referees broke the defense. On the other hand, the spinach black whistle Donaghy, who was later released from prison, explained the reason:
Rashid once was dissatisfied with the penalty in a game and yelled at Donaghy, but was called a technical foul by the latter. Rashid, who was dissatisfied, chose to go to the parking lot after the game to block Donaghy door, and raised his fist to threaten and intimidate Donaghy.The league fined Rashid with a 7-game suspension afterwards, and Donaghy also retaliated by enlisting his colleagues to target Rashid.

Mo Wen only hoped that the bald man could maintain at least some restraint and not be too show-stopping.

Otherwise, he can't guarantee whether the bald head is celebrating Christmas or Good Friday. After all, the stadium is so small, and accidents are normal.

Instead of going to the referee, O'Neal ran to Kobe and muttered trash.

If it was when the two of them were on the same team in the past, Ao Fat might sincerely praise Kobe's "spirituality" at this time, but now, he really doesn't like Kobe's villainous behavior from the bottom of his heart.

His moral standard is as flexible as his body.

However, Kobe didn't seem to hear what O'Neal said,
With half a minute left in the game, Wade was not replaced.

The Lakers had the ball, Kobe broke through to the mid-range and missed the shot under the double-team of Mo Wen and Wade, Damon Jones missed the rebound and gave it to Mo Wen.

There was not much time, Mo Wen made a two-step shot from outside the three-point line, the light was on and the whistle blew, and it was time for a break.

The Heat 31:28 the Lakers in the first quarter, taking a 3-point lead.

In the second quarter, the Heat increased their height, replacing Damon Jones, Haslem, Rasul and Big Zhi, and Wade became the shortest player on the Heat.

The Lakers replaced Mihm with Bryan Grant, who averaged less than 5 points per game but had a salary of 5 "skins", and replaced Atkins with Luke Walton.

The point difference is too tight, and the head coaches on both sides dare not change core players easily.

After the game restarted, Wade didn't look forward and backward because of the two fouls on his back, and approached Kobe with anger and excitement.

Even without the ball, the two are engaged in a high-intensity confrontation. The arms of the two are criss-crossing like twisting twists, just for the advantage of half body position.

Luke Walton held the ball at the top of the arc, and watched Mo Wen who was defending in front of him and swallowed.

No, shouldn't Mo Wen defend Peterson? Why did he run in front of him again?
Walton Jr. had the experience of playing against Mo Wen in the finals last season, so the last thing he wants to meet in the entire Heat lineup is Mo Wen.

The feeling of being crushed by his golf quotient made him, a person who relies on his golf quotient for a living, very insecure.

He didn't pass the first ball up to Kobe, who was still struggling to get a position. Instead, he played a hand-to-hand cross-run with Odom.

After Odom received the ball, he wanted to break in to attract the defense, and then find an opportunity to pass the ball to Kobe, but he didn't want Dazhi to suddenly attack him. Taking advantage of Odom's observation time, he flew the bucket out.

Unfortunately, the basketball flew in the direction of Kobe and Wade. After noticing the movement of the basketball, he picked it up first, and Kobe strode directly towards the basket.

Just as Kobe was trying to take off for a dunk, Ao Pang, who had been ambushing on the baseline for a long time, suddenly came out from the side.

He has been staring at this ball for a long time.

In the first quarter, Oban could feel Kobe's desire for the inside line he guarded.

It's just that Mim doesn't have much shooting range, so if Mim mentions a high pick-and-roll, he won't be able to attract Oban's premise.

The Lakers replaced the space insider Grant and wanted to pull him out, but they underestimated O'Fat's "love" for Kobe.

Snapped--

The casserole-sized slap was clean and neat, and it easily flew the racket aside.

The fans watching the game from the sidelines burst into exclamations.
