What happened just now was just a microcosm of the third quarter. Out of the five players in the starting lineup, only Jackson's defense was lacking.
But don't forget, Odom wasn't a player with explosive scores.
They were 15.9 points per game, but they had 2.9 turnovers and were not focused.
He would probably have to turn Odom from a left-handed magician into a magician.
This was also why Gu Yu felt that the role players could not kill the game from the start.
Gu Yu only did three things in the entire third quarter: defend against Kobe, run without the ball, and pick and roll.
Faced with Kobe's sticky defense, it was difficult for him to shake off the opponent with only 70 runs without the ball.
At this moment, he had no choice but to use a pick-and-roll to obtain a space to shoot.
After all, Kobe was at his peak. At this moment, both offense and defense were exerting their strength at the same time to firmly grasp the score.
Looking at the score of 65:65 between the Green Cats and the Los Angeles Clippers, there was only one last attack left. Gu Yu was ready to press for time.
Bang!
The basketball kept hitting the floor. Zen Master was the champion coach after all. Parker and Luke. Warton pincered Rondo and cut off his passing route.
After all, Instructor Long had yet to leave the Novice Village, and he did not have a basket. After being pincered, it was very uncomfortable.
Perkins couldn't play all four quarters. Olovokandi was at the end of his career. You couldn't expect a veteran with an average of 1.7 points per game to deal with Shaquille O'Neal.
Shaquille began to wreak havoc in the penalty area. Tony's basket was also inaccurate. Faced with Shaquille under the basket, he was blocked twice in the third quarter.
Facing Kobe, Gu Yu immediately changed the direction of the ball and began to accelerate. Kobe had been entangled with Tony and Gu Yu for three quarters, so he was more or less tired. This gave Gu Yu a chance.
He immediately took the first step and threw Kobe off by half a body, heading straight for the penalty area.
Clang!
The little shark wanted to stop Gu Yu, but Gu Yu was too fast and jumped too well.
Bynum had just jumped, but Gu Yu had already dunked the basketball in.
"Gu Yu dunked Bynum and led by two points.”
The commentators were all shocked.
Even though Lu Kai had a seven-game winning streak, the only real opponent was the Heat.
The Clippers were either too old or not strong enough. A team that could not even make the playoffs was naturally not considered a strong team.
Even the commentator was surprised that the newcomers could withstand Kobe's attack.
"Without a three-point range, it's really uncomfortable to be without the ball.”
Gu Yu, who was resting, recalled the run without the ball just now and knew the problem.
Having three points was very beneficial to both the range and the attacking space.
Because of the crosshair, Gu Yu could only maintain the range of no ball to within the three-point line and outside the penalty area.
This was equivalent to compressing Gu Yu's offensive space. This was also one of the reasons why Kobe's defense against Gu Yu was relatively successful.
After all, the basketball court was only so big. Starting from the three-point line, ten players were squeezed in, and the remaining space could be imagined.
Gu Yu's stamina was much better than Kobe's. After all, Tony had helped him tie down Kobe in the second quarter, which saved Gu Yu a lot of stamina.
"Clayon. Gamus, you go!"
Rivers also directly replaced Tony. As long as one was not blind, one could see that Tony's condition was not good.
The sweat on his face and his intense breathing showed that Tony's stamina had run out.
Tony, who had bitten Kobe with all his might, had four fouls on him. Rivers did not expect Tony's stamina to last through the fourth quarter.
He hoped to rely on Ryan, who had a three-point range. Gomez helped Gu Yu open up space to get rid of the Los Angeles team.
"Coach Zhang, who do you think will win this time?”
"I think Kobe has a good chance. After all, he only scored 42 points in the last game.”
"And the star player of Green Kai, Paul. Pierce was not around. Although these young players were talented, they might not be able to beat Kobe in a tough battle at a critical moment.”
As soon as Instructor Zhang spoke, the audience in front of the TV knew that it was Old Comey.
In fact, Instructor Zhang was right. At this moment, the only person who could be counted on was Gu Yu.
Among the starting five, Perkins was a meat shield center forward. Needless to say, Long's basket was better than Tony's.
Rivers would definitely be more inclined to Gu Yu.
Clang! Clang!
As soon as they came up, the Green Kai and the Laker each struck iron to pay tribute to the legendary God of Forging.
"Good opportunity!"
Gu Yu saw Smasher. Parker passed the ball to Kobe. It was already the fourth quarter, and mistakes were inevitable as his stamina depleted.
Bang!
At this moment, with Smarsh. Parker made a mistake in passing the ball, and the short pass landed on Gu Yu's side.
Gu Yu relied on his height and arm length to directly intercept the ball.
However, Kobe was not to be trifled with. It was a crucial moment, so Kobe pushed Gu Yu.
Gu Yu fell and the ball flew out of his hands. Kobe was about to pick it up.
However, Gu Yu 'happened' to stand up and block Kobe. At the same time, he bumped into Kobe and made him fall.
Because Kobe had fallen, Gu Yu had already stood up. Kobe knew that this was not a good time for him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Odom rushing over. Kobe directly passed the ball to Odom, and Gu Yu immediately chased after him.
However, because Kobe was in a hurry, the ball was passed high and Odom did not receive it.
At this moment, the basketball was about to fly out of the court. Gu Yu jumped directly. With a 93-point jump, Gu Yu successfully caught the basketball in the air.
