Chapter 475 [Wonderful stadium, 57-point victory]

After the timeout, Eddie Jordan made a substitution, Jeffries came off, and Stackhouse came on, adding an offensive point to play small ball tactics.

Yang Rui didn't make any substitutions, but he was just worried that his opponent was not up to par. If he didn't score, the third quarter would probably enter garbage time. In the first few games against weak teams, for the sake of statistics, he let Kobe Bryant play for a while, which received a lot of questions.

The current strength of the Lakers means that against weak teams, Kobe can solve the battle within 30 minutes per game. At most, he will increase his playing time against the strongest teams in the league, which does not include the Wizards.

Yang Ruixia didn't expect the Lakers to be so good. The main trio of Kobe, Yao Ming, and Rasheed were too strong in terms of individual abilities and their positions didn't overlap. They could work together in a tacit understanding after a month of running in.

Even if they don't cooperate, if these three people plus Odom take turns playing singles, most teams won't be able to withstand it. There are excellent swingmen who can guard Kobe, but they may not have meat shield centers. With a tank center, the Lakers' three big men can still pull out to shoot.

The routine arranged by Yang Rui is the same as that of the 2008-10 Lakers in the previous life. The current lineup of this team is much better than the two-time Lakers. There is no suspense about Yao Ming beating Bynum, Rasheed is slightly inferior to Gasol, and Iguodala, Diaw, and Mo Mo can now perform and train to the top, and other teams simply have no way to survive.

Eddie Jordan's adjustment strengthened the offense and worsened the protection of the basket. This was exactly what Yang Rui wanted, and the two sides launched a fierce attack.

The Wizards chose to strengthen their defense against Kobe, and Chinese fans are blessed.

As soon as Jeffries came off the court, Kobe attracted Stoudemire to switch defenses. As long as Yao Ming received the pass after cutting from the air, no one could stop him at the basket. His size advantage was too obvious. He turned left and right, hooked, underhanded, and threw. Stoudemire could only stare.

The Lakers led 41 to 28 in the first quarter. Yao had 17 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in the single quarter, and Kobe had 13 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists.

Kobe has a lot of assists, so he doesn't need to have a strong sense of passing. He just needs to find an opening for Yao Ming. With Yao Ming's size, it would be difficult for his teammates to miss him.

Kobe is willing to pass the ball because Yao Ming is different from O'Neal. O'Neal likes to take two steps in the low post, turn around and attack the basket, which does not count as an assist. Yao Ming catches the ball and lays up, or turns around and shoots with smooth movements, giving Kobe an assist.

If he continues to play like this, it will be a little difficult for Kobe to average 35 points per game. It is not difficult to hit a career high in assists, currently averaging 6.6 per game.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent on Mo Williams, Ariza, Diaw, Odom, and Rasheed.

Rashid took a 5-minute rest in the first quarter and came back with a substitute. The inside will crush the Wizards. Yang Rui continued to try new rotation methods in the regular season. This substitute lineup is the most powerful, with two second-rate stars inside.

Although Diaw cannot shoot three-pointers at the small forward position, Youdian can switch positions with Odom and cut inside.

The two play very flexibly. Odom often runs to the middle to make space. Diaw faces the defense of the small forward in the low post. He can hold the ball in singles and use a turning hook to end the offense. The shooting rate can be guaranteed to be above 50%.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Diaw dominated three of the four weirdos on the court at different stages: the short and stocky rebounder, the tall and thin long-range shooter, and the nimble fat guy. Even if Diaw is not fat now and has not yet mastered long-range shooting, he still has his own unique skills.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the template given to Sun Yue by experts during the draft was Dior, which obviously elevated Sun Yue. Dior's ecstatic big ass was not comparable to Sun Yue. As long as Dior hooks up with someone from the Kardashian family, Barkley's successor will be born in the future.

Facing the forward swingman, Diaw can use his strong hips to create space, protect the ball and find teammates without shooting, and organize calmly.

Odom is also a weirdo. He can shoot against defenders in the middle, can break through against big men, and can make five mistakes when facing TNT radio...

In this quarter, Odom performed perfectly except for throwing the ball one meter over the top edge of the backboard in an alley-oop for Iguodala to catch, scoring 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Wizards' two backup big men, Haywood and Jeffries, are both blue-collar players. Jeffries has height;

It's okay to be thinner to guard Rasheed, but Haywood is forced to face Odom. Whether he is guarding the penalty area or staying at the basket, he is tortured.

Haywood is a player with special skills. If he uses it well, he is an excellent human shield. If he uses it poorly, he may become a liability on the defensive end. If Eddie Jordan puts him in the starting lineup to defend Yao Ming's low-post offense, he will do a good job. Of course, the greater possibility is that he was passed by Kobe again and again.

The Lakers led 78 to 50 at halftime, and the game was unplayable.

The Wizards are in a similar situation to the Nuggets last season. They are very fierce when they abuse the opponent, and they cannot guard against opponents with stronger attacks.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Wizards this year had a trident of Larry Hughes, Arenas, and Jamison. Inside, Haywood started, and the defense was better than now. Stoudemire and Jamison play together, and the defensive effect is worse than playing with Boozer. Boozer can at least act as a human shield. Neither of these two can resist people well.

In the second half, in order to catch up with the score, Eddie Jordan did not send Haywood to play, with four offensive players and a pitcher.

Yang Rui was not polite to the Wizards. Yao Ming, Kobe, Rasheed, Hoiberg, and Jones appeared on the field, and the formation was even wider.

Yao Ming scored 10 points in this quarter, 32 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in three quarters. Kobe had 31 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists in three quarters. Both played only 30 minutes.

The Lakers led 118 to 83 and the game entered garbage time.

In the last quarter, Yang Rui didn't let the "drug-taking team" appear anymore, and he was no longer interested in playing. If they deal with the Wizards too harshly, tomorrow's news will probably not say anything good about the Lakers star, but will say that he, as a coach, will retaliate for his anger.

Yang Rui originally thought that the Wizards were suitable for stars to score points, but now he found that too much is not enough, and even poor defense is not enough.

Kobe's 81 points are not easy to replicate, and multiple conditions must be met. The Raptors' players were convulsed offensively in the first half and were overwhelming the Lakers; the Raptors' overall defense was poor; the Lakers' role players collectively sleepwalked; Kobe Bryant was convulsed throughout the game... These factors are indispensable, but today there is no such condition.

Both sides sent substitutes to fight, and the Wizards kept Stackhouse to lead the substitutes, but they were still beaten.

Yang Rui sent out a marginal lineup of Mo Williams, Hoiberg, Ariza, Diaw, and Cook. It didn't look like much, but it exploded.

Diaw is responsible for the organization, Cook and Mo Williams play off-ball cover tactics from the side, and the other two also pull away.

Cook, who is 206cm tall and plays a guest role as center, can also shoot three-pointers, maximizing the space. He faced Haywood, who rarely left the penalty area, and he had a rare opportunity to perform.

After the pick-and-roll, Cook received the ball and shot without doing any other work. Wizards backup point guard Blake couldn't block him. Under the extreme tactics arranged by Yang Rui, Cook took 8 shots from beyond the three-point line in the final quarter, scored 4 goals, and scored 12 points with a 50% three-point shooting rate.

The best performer was not Cook, but Diaw. He scored 4 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in a single quarter, driving the team's offense. He scored 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to score his first career triple-double.

The Wizards substitutes were a group of blue-collar players. Stackhouse was miserably guarded by Ariza and made 1 of 6 shots. In the end, he couldn't afford the intentional push foul and was sentenced to two free throws. Eddie Jordan replaced him.

The Lakers finally won 155-98, a 57-point victory.

After scoring super high points in regular time, and not playing too long in the starting lineup, with all the stars playing less than 30 minutes, the Lakers made headlines that night and became the number one favorite to win the championship!
