Chapter 200: Confrontation (2)

The Celtics easily scored a goal and did not attract the attention of the Lakers. It was only two points, and they soon recovered in the offense. . The fastest update visit: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.
When O'Neal was resting off the court, Kobe became the core of the Lakers' offense. In the last game against the Celtics, Kobe made a record 47 shots and hit countless irons. The team lost the game and it was a shame. This time Kobe is also going to find his place in Los Angeles anyway. He doesn't care what lineup the Celtics send, even if he sends five'women' on the field, he will do his best to blow the opponent out.
But the Celtics seemed to be prepared. First, their defense began to shrink. The four players formed a rectangle near the four corners of the three-second zone, and then Eric Williams led the entire court against Kobe. This is a 1-4 zone defense, and the Celtics came for Kobe.
Bryant received the ball at the top of the arc, bent over and looked down at the defense. The Celtics had a very small collection. There were opportunities at the left and right corners. He suddenly started to pretend to break through from the right side. The Celtics defenders closed the door and closed in. , Kobe decisively passed the ball to Robert Holly in the corner, Holly even had time to take aim, and then shot a three-pointer in the right corner.
"Bah!" Holly, who missed a three-pointer, used a magical three-pointer to save the Lakers in the playoffs last season. His state of the season has quickly declined, and his three-pointer percentage has dropped to less than percent. Thirty, watching him shoot, the Lakers' ball fans will feel worse.
Insider Mark Blunt grabbed the backboard with his height advantage. After O'Neal was off the court, he was already the highest peak on the court. The Celtics immediately launched a quick counterattack. Alexander ran with the ball. The Lakers' backup point guard was Brian Shaw, a 13-season veteran. How could he keep up with the young Alexander's footsteps.
However, Xiao has rich experience. Although he can't keep up, his hands can keep up. He clings behind Alexander and interferes with his dribble. As expected, Alexander lacks balance and force layup and misses.
But a big bird soared from the back, Chris Anderson, flying in the air, caught the ball that popped out of the basket with both hands, and slammed the ball into the basket!
It was another two points, and the difference between the two sides was reduced to 10 points, and it came to a gap that could be clearly seen.
Phil Jackson did not call a timeout. He still squinted and sat on the bench with a mysterious smile. The name of the Zen master is not false, and his dislike of calling timeout is also famous. He hopes the players will solve it by themselves. Problems on the field.
At this time, Kobe still tried to solve the problem with passing. This season is a season of rapid growth for Kobe, he surpassed O'Neal to become the team's scoring leader, his scoring average reached 30 points
At the same time, because O'Neal missed a large number of games, Kobe began to take on the role of the team's backbone. His rebounds and assists reached career highs. He began to learn to use other methods besides scoring and frantically biting defenses to lead the team to win. . Of course, he and O'Neal also made discordant voices, because he hated to see O'Neal spend a lot of time to rest and entertain, instead of putting it all on the basketball court.
He dribbled the ball through halftime and found Devin George on the strong side, then he shifted to the weak side, Brian Shaw ran back around the baseline, George'handed' the ball to Samaki Walker, Kobe Receiving the ball on the weak side, the strong and weak side transfers instantly, Kobe has a chance to play singles. But he didn't. Instead, he gave a lob to Samaki Walker inside, and wanted Walker to make an inside cut and layup directly.
But Walker is not O'Neal. Receiving the ball in the three-second zone is equal to scoring. After Walker got the ball, three Celtics players surrounded them, and walked under the basket like a cover. Walker could not pass. , After shaking for a few times, he couldn't get up again. He just threw the ball up to try to get a high kick. As a result, Chris Anderson pulled up directly and patted the ball on the backboard. The ball bounced out. Grant Long got the ball and a long pass was passed to Williams, who was fast.
Bryant chased wildly from behind, Williams layup was blocked by Kobe, but the referee blew the whistle, blew Kobe's defensive foul, Williams went to the free throw line.
When Williams made two free throws, the Celtics had chased six points after the start of the second quarter, and the Lakers hadn't scored yet.
The Lakers serve in the backcourt. At this time, the situation on the court is completely different. The morale of the Celtics is completely up. Chris Anderson is almost everywhere. The Greens' bench seems to be a'chicken' blood. , Pierce, Walker, and Brown all became professional cheerleaders, standing on the sidelines to cheer for the bench players. Just now the Celtics scored six points in a row, and Pierce’s ‘hair’ scarf was more diligent than anyone else.
Leon is standing on the sidelines with his arms around him. He is not sitting there calmly like Phil Jackson, because he is betting that Kobe won’t feel violent, betting that Phil Jackson will not call a timeout. Other Lakers players will not stand up and continue their lives. As long as there is one missed bet, then the Celtics in this game is very dangerous, if the bet wins, then at least the Celtics can still bite in the first half.
Sure enough, in the next round, Kobe is going to prepare himself to attack, he decided not to pass the ball, and use his own goals to stabilize the situation. While dribbling the ball, he made a downward pressure with his hand, signalling his teammates to calm down, and also signalling Phil Jackson not to rush to time out. If Kobe can hit the ball, the Lakers will continue to play until the official timeout, if not, Jackson will undoubtedly need a timeout.
Leon clearly sees Kobe's actions and the lumens of the'exchange' with Jackson. As the league's hegemon and the winner of three consecutive championships, no team in the league has been so thoroughly studied like the Lakers. The little habits of players and coaches have been'touched' clearly.
Leon's eyes were like bald eagles. He immediately made a gesture of clasping his hands towards Chris Anderson. Anderson glanced at him, and Leon meant that he had already received his heart.
The Lakers emptied the left side and left space for Kobe to break through. This is when Williams, who defended Kobe, knew that Kobe was about to attack. He suddenly took a step with his left foot and completely gave up the space on his right.
This is to let Kobe go from the left! Please enter the urn, Kobe is not afraid of defensive traps, directly from the left to force a breakthrough. Chris Anderson was prepared. He didn't wait until Kobe started to fill the spot, but instead threw away his defender to intercept Kobe in advance.
Switching to another player may change the strategy and directly drop the ball to the inside player, but Kobe has already decided to attack on his own. His eyes are only the basket!
Anderson's supplementary defense'forced' Kobe to go outside. Kobe adjusted his pace and took a jump shot at 18 feet close to the baseline. A difficult shot. The arc of the ball was a bit flat. Chris Anderson tried his best. Interfering with Kobe's shot, the ball went around the basket and finally fell out.
Mark Blunt got a rebound, a good opportunity for the Celtics to counterattack!
"Slow down, slow down!" At this time, Leon slowed down the Celtics' rhythm. Alexander, who originally wanted to launch a fast break, had to slow down his pace and wait for the players to be seated before reorganizing the attack.
It's not that Leon doesn't know this is a good opportunity for the Celtics to counterattack, but he also knows that this is also the most dangerous moment. The substitutes are inexperienced and have insufficient ability, and the morale is easy to get hot. The Lakers players are experienced, and the referee's whistle in just two rounds is biased towards the Celtics. At this time, the Celtics may make a mistake or miss if they rush and hit, and the Lakers will reverse it. For the special person, the gain is not worth the loss.
Therefore, Leon asked Alexander to stabilize and play one slowly, even if he didn't have time to retire, he could still defend one seriously.
However, the Celtics do not have many methods of positional warfare among the bench players. From the beginning of the second quarter, they can still steal two by taking a tiger nap. Unable to tear the Lakers' defenses.
It was really stressful for Alexander to control the ball from the outside. His teammates ran for a few laps and fell back a few times, but they couldn't get out a few times. In the end, the pressure of Shanda received the ball and he could only force it.
He faced Brian Shaw's defense and made a toss near the right side of the three-second zone. This was a very unspecified toss. The ball drew a slanted arc and didn't even touch the basket at all. Crossed the neck of the basket and fell to the left of the basket.
However, UU reading www. uukanshu.com was playing crookedly, Chris Anderson was stuck behind Walker, and the ball fell into his hands!
Birdman takes off again!
He jumped up with an amazing bounce speed, dunking with both hands on Samaki Walker's head, causing Walker's foul and going to the free throw line!
The Celtics' bench exploded, Antoine Walker danced his burlesque on the sidelines, PJ-Brown acted as a stopper, and only Leon just gently clenched his fist without any other sign. Because he knows that hard times are far from coming. In this game, the Celtics will complete the task as long as they don't lose more than 15 points.
With Anderson hitting a free throw, the Celtics hit the Lakers with a 9-0 climax, reducing the point difference to only 5 points. Phil Jackson can no longer sit on the bench and play'force'. Called a timeout.
At this time, David Stern, who had a very ugly face, was obviously better. At least he knew that although there was nothing to watch in the game tonight, at least it would not be too bad in the first half. He wants to find a way to make the representatives of this group of sponsors leave after watching the first half of the game, so he can leave a good impression.
