On June 7, the fourth game of the finals.
In the last match between the two teams, the Cavaliers’ home court Quicken Loans Center was very lively except for the opening game. Later, they were all beaten to the end of the three quarters before the fans left the game, apparently desperate.
But today, the Cavaliers' home court was full, and the enthusiasm of the fans reached the highest point in this year's playoffs!
The Lakers are at a disadvantage today. Losing Liu Ren is not just losing a star. The Lakers have many stars. Losing Liu Ren has three best team players, the best sixth man, and the best defensive player.
But the loss of Liu Ren is not just the loss of a double-team player, the most important thing is the loss of the team's best scorer, this scorer holds one third of the team's points!
The Lakers’ tactics seem to be based on Green, Antetokounmpo and Gasol as the core of the offense. However, these are all pinned on Liu Renneng to contain most of the opponent’s defense. The three of them have not been able to attract Bao at this stage. The strength of the folder must rely on Liu Ren's offensive deterrence to organize the offense.
Now this deterrent point has become Kobe, well, the peak Kobe deterrence may not be lower than Liu Ren, but this is the 38-year-old Kobe, and the effect is really not big.
As a result, the Lakers can only play one tactic.
Let Kobe swish! Let Kobe singles! Others just defend and open up space!
D'Antoni also figured out what to be afraid of at this time. The more you are afraid, the worse you are playing. It is better to believe in Kobe and let Kobe go by himself!
This man who has created countless miracles, D'Antoni can only pin his hopes on him.
At the beginning of Game 4 of the Finals, Kobe struggled. In front of the strongest defensive team in the East, the offensive ability of the Lakers without Liu Ren seemed too anxious, and only Kobe played his life.
The effect is not bad. Afflalo defends well, but he is not the type of defensive player that Kobe is afraid of now. Kobe has advantages in his height and weight, and he can easily break through the back. Kobe made 11 shots in the first quarter. Scored 14 points in 5, and relied on the Lakers' overall defense to match the Cavaliers. Although James also scored 16 points in the first quarter, the two teams still played similarly in the first quarter. Finished to a 22 tie.
The overall defensive talent of the Lakers is really good. Liu Ren can't play. Antetokounmpo has been at the small forward position. LaVine is responsible for giving Irving a defensive impact. At this time, the Cavaliers still only have James who can continue to score. It became a situation where Kobe and James scored against Biao.
But after all, Kobe is old and has a serious physical problem. By the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe must have a few minutes of rest. Similarly, James is also tired when facing Antetokounmpo and Nance's defensive defense throughout the quarter. It's so choking, you have to rest.
Kobe and James ended.
If it is the first three games, Liu Ren and James will go off together. It will be a disaster for the Cavaliers, and it will not affect the Lakers. Because Liu Ren goes off the field, Kobe can stand up as the main scorer for a while, while the Cavaliers are there. There is no player who can replace James, even in just a few minutes, the Lakers can take advantage of the situation to play a wave of scoring.
But this time is different. There is no one on the Lakers' side. Kobe has no one to replace him!
The Lakers originally defended Irving by Liu Ren and LaVine. Now LaVine and Clarkson are taking turns. They are not in the same level. Antetokounmpo is almost vomiting blood against James. There is no strength to defend Owen.
So, in the first few minutes of the second quarter when Kobe took a break, Irving led the Cavaliers to play a 7-0. It took more than three minutes to score 7 points. The Cavaliers’ offensive efficiency was not high, but they defended well. All of a sudden, the difference was pulled above 5 points!
Kobe today experienced what James felt in the first three games. As soon as his was hot, he had to take off his training suit and play again.
Kobe just hit a three-pointer to try to help the Lakers stabilize the decline, but James also came up.
Sometimes it’s good to be young. James is also considered a young guy in front of Kobe. He came up with Korver, who had not been replaced, and scored 9 points in a row. Although Kobe also scored 6 points in a row, the difference was still by the Cavaliers. The team pulled to 10 points!
Kobe's performance in the second quarter was far worse than in the first quarter. From the fourth minute to the end of the half, Kobe only scored 8 points, mainly due to the number of shots, 3 of 11, which was a complete physical breakdown. Rhythm.
Thanks to the overall defensive advantage of the Lakers, D'Antoni immediately replaced James with a group of defensive teams to wipe Kobe's and rebound after James scored 4 goals. The Lakers did not let the Cavaliers further open points. difference.
At the end of halftime, the Lakers entered the intermission with a 36-46 trailing 10 points from the Cavaliers.
...
"Kobe, are you still playing?" Gasol asked when he patted Kobe who was drinking sports drinks.
Kobe didn't answer, silence means everything.
Very bad! It's just very bad!
Kobe looked at his twisted right index finger, when this little difference could make him out of breath!
Humiliation, anger!
Kobe has started to force himself to find motivation again, constantly stimulating his nerves, he wants to squeeze out the remaining oil in his tank and let it burn!
...
At the beginning of the second half of the game, D'Antoni was very helpless, but what can be done? Liu Ren is the uncle of this team, and Kobe is the uncle of the uncle.
I heard that the uncle on the side of the road in China is more cruel than the uncle on the mixed road, D'Antoni can only listen to Kobe's request to let him continue playing.
It has been proved before ~EbookFREE.me~ If Kobe is not there, the only scorer of the Lakers will be gone.
The characteristics of this group of Lakers players are very good at scoring opportunities, but they will not have a chance to score without Liu Ren! How to grasp no chance?
After Kobe is down, the Lakers really can’t play. This group of people was formed for Liu Ren’s service, and they are trained for Liu Ren as supporting roles. If the supporting roles are all kneeling, the protagonist said There is still something to do, such as James's 21 consecutive customs clearance trip in the Eastern Conference playoffs last season.
But the protagonist is gone, how to play the supporting role?
In the Lakers lineup, only Kobe can barely play the leading role!
So whether D'Antoni is in the team's offensive considerations or unable to stop Kobe's stubbornness, he must let Kobe play.
Moreover, D'Antoni wants to win consecutive championships!
At this time, if you lose a game and lose the last bit of morale, then you will be like a river bursting with it, completely unstoppable!
