I've been playing in the NBA for three years, and this system is only now showing up?

Chapter 53 Kobe, you didn't want Shaq either...

Lin Ze cursed, then continued, "The open looks he got from those two three-pointers were bigger than the open looks Grandma Shaq got during her morning exercise!"

"Did you give him the appropriate strength?"

Kobe glared at Lin Ze and said, "He won't score in the fourth quarter."

"You said that before the match even started," Lin Ze said. "I find it hard to believe you."

"If Shaq were here..."

"It's always Shaq Shaq!" Kobe suddenly snapped, "Are you ever going to stop?"

The sound was so loud that many players heard it and instinctively looked over. Assistant coach Mendes even put his hand on Kobe's shoulder.

He was certainly not trying to take sides; he genuinely wanted to prevent a potential conflict.

"Let's talk about something else." Lin Ze wasn't angry, but leaned closer to Kobe and whispered, "You don't want Shaq to come back, grinning with that big mouth, and then looking at everyone with a mocking expression and saying: You guys can't do without me, do you?"

"If you don't want to hear this, then you'd better shut down Carter properly and stop him from scoring!"

Hearing this, Rice, who was standing next to Lin Ze, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

That sounds so familiar!

Lin Ze: Forget about whether the moves are old or not, just tell me if the moves are effective!

"Lin, apologize to Kobe." Jackson appeared before them like a righteous hero: "You went too far."

In fact, Jackson didn't hear what the two were saying at all; he was just there to join in the fun.

"No need!" Kobe said coldly. "I will do what I'm supposed to do."

Lin Ze looked at Jackson and secretly made a gesture of counting money with his hand.

Pay more, old man!

However, the old man turned and left to study the tactics board that he hadn't written anything on.

At the start of the fourth quarter, neither team's key players appeared on the court: Carter for the Raptors, and Lin Ze and Kobe for the Lakers.

But McGrady of the Raptors played very well during this period, at least better than Rice.

He made both shots and held Rice to 0-for-2 shooting performances for several minutes without scoring.

Thanks to McGrady's performance, the Raptors managed to narrow the gap to 4 points in the first 3 minutes of the fourth quarter!

Then, without calling a timeout, Jackson simply waved his hand and sent in Lin Ze and Kobe.

The Lakers are about to launch their final offensive!

Meanwhile, the Raptors also picked up Davis and Carter, and they were also looking to speed up their comeback. After returning to the court, the Lakers had possession of the ball first. After receiving the ball, Kobe did not wave to signal his teammates to spread out for him. Instead, he called out a play from the top of the arc, instructing everyone to run according to the set play.

To avoid seeing Shaq's smug expression, Kobe actually started playing according to the tactics meticulously!

Lin Ze immediately stepped forward and turned to the side to set a screen for Kobe.

Of the Raptors' two big men, Davis is known for staying in the paint and refusing to come out. Oakley used to come out when he was younger, but now he doesn't have the ability to do so even if he wanted to.

So after Kobe and Lin Ze set a pick and roll, the Raptors players unanimously chose to collapse their defense, giving up space outside the three-point line.

Lin Ze once again got a huge open shot opportunity.

Kobe, who was now focused on playing tactics and making reasonable plays, did not hesitate and passed the ball to Lin Ze outside the three-point line after the Raptors' defense had completely compressed the defense.

Beyond the three-point line, Lin Ze swiftly slammed down a three-pointer, sinking it once again!

The Lakers regained a 7-point lead.

I must say, Kobe's ball-feeding skills were really quite good; Lin Ze could shoot immediately after receiving the ball without needing to adjust at all.

After assisting Lin Ze, Kobe quickly found Carter and began to guard him from the backcourt.

Carter, who had just come on, still had ambition.

After he got to the frontcourt, he immediately turned to the side, used one hand to block Kobe, and then raised his other hand to call for the ball.

The basketball came into Carter's hands, but as soon as Carter got the ball, Kobe immediately intensified his defense, sticking to Carter like a leech and applying high-intensity pressure.

"Watch out! Vince!" McGrady suddenly called out to warn him, but it was too late.

Lin Ze burst out from the side, accurately predicting Carter's blind spot, and stole the ball from Carter's hands, then charged towards the frontcourt!

Fast break with dribbling!

Carter was already 2 meters away from the three-point line when the ball was suddenly stolen from him. Apart from McGrady, who had explosive athleticism, the rest of the Raptors were truly powerless to stop him.

Oh, and there's Carter, but Carter is all brawn and no brains.

This guy showed no intention of chasing back; instead, he jogged slowly while raising his hand to signal to his teammates.

"Mine! Mine!"

As Lin Ze hurried down the slope, he clearly sensed someone chasing him from behind.

Worried about being chased by his hat, he couldn't help but glance back out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see who was relentlessly pursuing him.

It's Kobe.

Lin Ze even turned his head to look again before confirming that the person sprinting behind him was indeed Kobe.

Then, he took a step to the side, slowed down, and then smashed the ball towards the middle.

Kobe, who was sprinting at full speed, just happened to catch the basketball. He even paused for a moment, clearly surprised that Lin Ze passed the ball to him instead of dunking it.

But as unexpected as it may be, Kobe's so-called pause happened in the blink of an eye and did not affect his rapid rush to the basket and his attempt to dunk.

"Snapped!"

Then came a muffled thud, and the basketball in Kobe's hands was knocked away!

McGrady!

This young man with explosive athleticism chased back from the other side in time and completed a block on Kobe!

Then the basketball flew towards Lin Ze, who caught it, stepped forward, and flicked his wrist to score 2 points.

"You can't just look at the basket during a fast break! You have to look back at the defender." Lin Ze, who scored two points for nothing, didn't forget to criticize Kobe.

"Why didn't you warn me?" Kobe didn't believe Lin Ze could't see that someone was chasing him from that angle.

"How could I possibly have time?" Lin Ze spread his hands, and Zhan Shi sighed helplessly, "You're so eager for those two points, who could possibly remind you?"

"Who's craving it?" Kobe was furious! It's just a fast break, what's there to crave!

"Vince, you have to chase! If you had chased, they definitely wouldn't have been able to score on that play!" On the Raptors' side, McGrady, who had successfully blocked the shot but couldn't change the fact that the opponent scored on the fast break, couldn't help but spread his hands and complain to his cousin.
