Chapter 231: Plant a tree in Kobe's heart

The start of the game was bad for the Mavericks.
But it turns out that this is not the most unfavorable.
Nowitzki's layup was blocked by O'Neal.
Although O'Neal is reluctant to go outside, Phil Jackson designed a new set of defensive tactics for him, called "Shaq defending the basket."
As the name suggests, let O'Neal stay near the three-second zone and leave the defense of the perimeter to his teammates.
This tactic looks a bit clumsy, but it works well.
The Lakers attacked the frontcourt again, and the Mavericks adjusted their defensive formation, putting out a 2-3 zone defense to protect the basket.
But after O'Neal played with the back of the ball, he quickly assigned the ball to the moving Kobe.
Kobe catches the ball and makes a mid-range shot.
"Uh!"
The basketball enters the frame firmly.
The connection from the OK group.
Because of his strong personal offensive ability, O'Neal's passing has been ignored.
But in fact, his passing is among the best among big men.
Divac is known as a big man who can pass the ball, but in fact, his assists per game this season (3.7) are not as good as O'Neal (3.8).
In the past three seasons, O'Neal averaged nearly 4 assists per game.
After the first quarter, the score on the court was 30-20, and the Lakers had achieved a double-digit lead.
O'Neal scored 12 points and Kobe also scored 8 points.
On the broadcast booth, Su Qun understood what Zhang Weiping said before the game.
O'Neal's physical talent is too explosive, and the ball quotient is too high, knowing what kind of physical condition to use what kind of play.
This big shark has nothing to stop him except injuries.
Of course there is also Kobe. At the beginning of last season, when O'Neal was on the court, Kobe didn't try to grab a shot, so that O'Neal had a good shot.
He waited until O'Neal's exit before he began to make a big deal.
The result is that O'Neal will pass to Kobe as soon as he doubles.
A balance has been found between OK and the Lakers' strength this season is not unreasonable.
And misfortunes never come singly. In the second quarter, Kukoc sprained his ankle while defending.
Although Sun Hao and Nowitzki were full of confidence before the game, the situation is precarious for the Mavericks.
The old Nelson didn't mean to go to Nowitzki in advance, after all, this is just a regular season.
"king."
After hesitating for a while, he walked to the end of the bench and called out.
Wang Zhizhi stood up as soon as he heard the sound.
Although he hasn't played for a long time, he looks like he is always ready.
This attitude is different from before.
However, it is this detail that has greatly increased old Nelson's favor with Wang Zhizhi.
He specifically called to Wang Zhizhi when he was about to run to the technical stage.
"Communicate more with your teammates on the defensive end."
After listening, Wang Zhizhi nodded repeatedly.
What Old Nelson said was not very important, but it was a great encouragement to him.
Old Nelson patted Wang Zhizhi on the shoulder last.
To say that among those who hope that Wang Zhizhi can strike out, the old Nelson must be the one ranked high.
A big man who can have a stable mid-range shot is his favorite type of insider.
Wang Zhizhi debuted and the game continued.
At this time lineups on both sides of the field.
On the Lakers side, Lynch Hunt, Kobe, Devin George, Walker, Stanislav Medvedenko.
For the Mavericks, Van Exel, Bell, Najera, Wang Zhizhi, Bradley.
Van Exel missed a long three-pointer.
Looking back, Kobe turned and leaned back after singled out Bell.
Van Exel's layup was chased by Kobe.
The Lakers counterattacked defensively, Kobe rushed to the frontcourt to receive Hunter's pass and dunk.
As soon as the second quarter came up, the Lakers played an offensive climax under the leadership of Kobe.
The point difference has reached 14 points in a blink of an eye.
Kobe was also a little excited, he turned his head and stared at Bell coldly after receiving it.
The expression seemed to say that Bell's so-called Kobe Terminator is a joke.
Van Exel still didn't make a three-pointer after shaking off Hunter.
The Mavericks' sixth man is in poor form tonight.
Old Nelson called Sun Hao to prepare him to play early.
Sun Hao stripped off his training uniform and walked to the technical stage, waiting for the dead ball time on the court.
The Lakers attacked the frontcourt, and Kobe broke through with the ball and was double-teamed. He scored the ball to Walker, and Walker made a layup after receiving the ball.
The Lakers played very well with this little team.
Kobe is also using practical actions to prove that he is not only an excellent scorer, his passing is equally good.
But at the moment Walker shot, a figure chased after him and was shot at the moment he shot.
"Snapped!"
In the incredible eyes of the fans at the scene, Wang Zhizhi chased after him and blocked Walker's goal!
Moreover, he also took advantage of the opportunity to score a defensive rebound!
There was a stir at the scene.
On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson was also very surprised.
The Mavericks have two Chinese players, but there is actually only one.
This is most of the impression of Wang Zhizhi, the second Chinese player to land in the NBA after Sun Hao, and he basically has no sense of existence.
But the presence of this ball just now went from 0 to 10.
Although it is still not very high, but at least it reminds the Mavericks that there is a second Chinese player.
Sun Hao was already ready to play, but after seeing the defensive success, he sat down temporarily.
The defense of the ball just now was wonderful, but it was not too surprising.
Because Wang Zhizhi had blocked David Robinson.
Although the physical confrontation is not strong, but his wingspan is there, defensive talent is not bad.
The Mavericks attacked the frontcourt, and Van Exel finally realized that he was not feeling well and turned to play organization.
After Wang Zhizhi gave Bell a pick and roll, he fell outside the right three-point line.
Walker was not familiar with him and didn't expand it.
Van Exel scored the ball to Wang Zhizhi, who raised his hand and threw it.
The moment he shot, he could see confidence in his eyes.
"Uh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net.
Wang Zhizhi, who hit him in this game, is also the first three-pointer in the regular season this season!
After the goal, Wang Zhizhi did not make any celebration, but his eye circles were a little red.
People only know how to cherish after losing.
He waited too long to get this opportunity again, and after grasping it, he was a little excited.
There was a short whistle from the sidelines, and Sun Hao replaced Van Exel.
When Sun Hao came on the field, he and Van Exel high-five, then went over and patted Wang Zhizhi on the shoulder.
Although Wang Zhizhi wasted a lot of time because he did not listen to him.
But everything has two sides. For at least the past year, Wang Zhizhi has been able to practice three points.
Bryant held the ball in the frontcourt and continued to single-handedly. After the emergency stop, the shot missed the basket under the interference of Bell.
Although not worthy of the "Kobe Terminator" nickname given by old Nelson, Bell is indeed the best defender on the outside of the Mavericks.
The basket was scrambling, Wang Zhizhi and Walker protected the defensive rebounds after confrontation.
It can be seen that he has improved a lot in the fight.
Old Nelson's expression has changed a lot.
He didn't expect much from Wang Zhizhi, but Wang Zhizhi's performance in the past few rounds made him happy.
Wang Zhizhi finally made progress.
Sun Hao scored to Bell in the frontcourt, and Bell missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
But Bradley took advantage of his height to pick off offensive rebounds, and then gave out after seeing Wang Zhizhi empty.
Wang Zhizhi made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.
This time the basketball hit the rim and missed a hit.
But Bradley grabbed a second offensive rebound.
To say that the only shortcoming of the Lakers right now is probably O'Neal's lack of a reliable substitute.
Bradley gave the ball to Sun Hao this time, and Sun Hao made a false shot that missed the defense, and then gave the ball to Wang Zhizhi.
And after giving the ball, he motioned to Wang Zhizhi to continue the shot.
This is a kind of trust.
After Wang Zhizhi received the ball, he habitually shook it. The result was a waste of opportunity, and Walker had already jumped on it.
However, he took a three-pointer and then shot.
"Uh!"
He made the second three-pointer!
"Roughly, pretty!"
On the broadcast booth, Zhang Weiping couldn't help shouting.
Today, I have judged all the situations, but I did not expect Wang Zhizhi to have such an outstanding performance.
These few rounds make people feel like they are in a dream.
"Roughly ready!"
Su Qun also sighed.
He is based in Dallas, so he knows how hard Wang Zhizhi practiced after that preseason game.
The performance of this period can be expressed with bitterness and happiness.
Sun Hao also high-five with Wang Zhizhi while retiring.
"You wasted an assist for me."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
If Wang Zhizhi just caught the ball and made a direct shot, he would get an extra assist.
"Make it up next time."
Wang Zhizhi looked very good, and even joked with Sun Hao.
Wang Zhizhi's surprise soldiers sent the Mavericks through this replacement stage.
The Mavericks also performed better in the second half of this quarter than in the first.
After halftime, the score on the court was 53 to 48, and the Lakers' lead was reduced to 5 points.
This point difference is completely acceptable for the Mavericks.
Both sides entered into the intermission.
Back in the locker room, Nelson was inspired by the first half and adjusted his tactical thinking in the second half.
Although it was not as fast as Carlisle, who had been against Carlisle before, the old Nelson's beer belly was also filled with ink.
Back in the second half, the starting points of both sides remained unchanged.
The Mavericks attacked first.
After Nash gave the ball to Sun Hao, he signaled to pull it away, and he followed in ambush to the bottom corner.
Sun Hao faced Fisher with the ball.
Fox didn't dare to defend Sun Hao personally, and let go for a long time.
However, Sun Hao did not intend to attack directly, and LaFrenz, who was inside, pulled to the three-point line for the first time.
Fisher was blocked, and Sun Hao made a three-pointer after the pick and roll.
At the moment of the shot, he felt that his three-pointer's grasp was greatly improved than before.
Well, it feels like the basket is like the sea.
"Uh!"
With a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three-pointer flew up and down.
This scene, if it is Sun Hao's old fan, after seeing it, he will be very familiar with it.
Because when Sun Hao was in Europe, those big white bears didn't come out. That's how Sun Hao fought.
As long as the quality of the center's pick-and-roll is not bad, this trick can be said to be insoluble.
This is the adjustment of the old Nelson midfield.
In fact, after O'Neal weighted up, the inside offense became more brutal, but he was unwilling to go out and it was also true that he could not defend himself.
Although Phil Jackson came up with a "Shaq defending the basket" defensive strategy, the actual effect of that thing was limited.
This season, especially after entering December, they encountered an opponent who obviously restrained them? The Kings.
Princeton of the Kings, when the ball moved, he broke the so-called "Shaq defending the basket" very cleanly.
Especially for the pick-and-roll half-cut near the free throw line of guards and centers, O'Neal can't make it out, so he hits every shot.
Not to mention that Sun Hao and LaFrenz are now playing the pick and roll on the three-point line, and O'Neal can't make it.
As long as Sun Hao is accurate, this tactic has no solution.
The situation of the game is also developing in the direction expected by the old Nelson.
Sun Hao's feel outside the three-point line tonight is so good that he has no friends!
The hall of fame badge greatly improves his shooting stability.
The Lakers were quickly overtaken by the score.
Phil Jackson did not play any more routines of handing over the game to the players.
He is very sensitive to the game and goes directly to the 3-2 zone defense.
Can force the Lakers to use zone defense, the Mavericks are one of the few in the league with this offensive level.
However, the Mavericks have developed an offensive and defense strategy in December, and the firepower remains undiminished.
Fighting on both sides, it becomes a situation where no one can prevent others.
"Hey, I said, as long as the Mavericks shoot well, anyone can beat it."
Zhang Weiping was radiant in the commentary.
His analysis is rational and reasonable.
But in his heart he definitely hoped that Sun Hao would win.
The two teams played until the last minute.
In the first five minutes of the final, the two teams tied for 100, a complete battle.
The situation is deadlocked.
Sun Hao went to whisper to Bell at this time.
When Bell defended Kobe, he was no longer just acting, he also started to talk trash.
"Kobe, don't you feel it? The cheers of the fans before the game, as long as Shaq is here, you will never be the king of Los Angeles."
"No matter how hard you try to score, or even change your play for the team, you can't change that fact."
Bell's words quickly changed Kobe's expression.
In fact, Kobe is paranoid, but he is by no means a brainless person. Otherwise, he would not become a "Pennsylvania Magic" last season, and this season, he also worked with O'Neal to find the best way to play for two people~www.mtlnovel. com~ But at this time I have to mention Adi China trip.
When Sun Hao was climbing the Great Wall with a group of people, he hinted to Kobe that the latter could become the king of Los Angeles.
Because Sun Hao knew that that was what Kobe wanted to do, that was the seed that Kobe had already had in his heart.
What Sun Hao did was to let the seeds germinate.
Kobe hadn't even noticed it himself, it had even grown into a small sapling.
As long as someone is reminded, it is difficult not to be noticed.
Kobe started asking for the ball.
Bell is right, he must become the king of Los Angeles.
He must suppress O'Neal, whether O'Neal is present or not, because only then can he become the real king of Los Angeles.
