Chapter 944 It's a pity, I just don't have anyone!
The NBA in 2013 is on the eve of the opening of the new era.
In the past decade - 2011-1999, the NBA championships in these years have not been won by the golden generation that entered the league in the 1990s.
After this year, the Gods ushered in dusk, and the Mesozoic led by James Weisha quickly occupied the league's top ecological niche.
But before the end of this season, there are many things to change.
Although James succeeded through group formation, he still needs to continue to observe how far he can go;
Wei Xia hasn't proved herself after leaving Kobe;
New generation players such as 07, 08, 09 are still accumulating their strength, but Durant, who has the most promising future, has already brought his team to Kobe.
In the first five games of the semi-finals, 3-2, the Thunder were only one game away from advancing.
Wei Xia has been in and out of Staples Center hundreds of times, and this time the experience is the most special.
Everyone will greet him with warm voices.
Kobe has long been a totem-like figure for this city.
The Thunder's starter looks full of talent.
Westbrook, Sovlosa, Durant, Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins.
The Lakers are a little short of it. The previous dynasty team has lost so much that only the Gasol brothers are left. Howard's existence has made Gasol, who has great combat power, have to play as a substitute. As Gasol grows older, he is not as comfortable as when he was young.
The point guard is Ramon Sessions, who has only been in the league for six years but has wandered around four teams. The small forward position is so old that it makes people wonder whether he can still adapt to the NBA strength.
He looks vicious and was the most loyal dog-legged person of Kobe during the second dynasty of the Lakers. He became famous in 2012, but now the Thunder no longer has the player who was attacked by him.
"The Lakers are still working hard to save the situation!"
"The left foot contusion was confirmed before the competition, but we saw that he was still on the activation list tonight."
Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Bryn sat in the live commentary seat at ESPN.
Before Mark Jackson was dismissed from the Warriors, the chemistry between Van Gundy and Brynn was still to be developed, but they are already a relatively famous commentary combination.
Jump the ball at the opening game.
It is difficult for Kobe to exert force on his left foot. Although it is not the main use of his feet, the lack of one leg means a lot for basketball games. He doesn't know why Kobe insists on playing this game.
This is not a championship game.
Indeed, this may be the last game of their season, but only by maintaining their health can you gain more glory in the future.
Before he knew it, Wei Xia put herself into Kobe's perspective.
"Don't force yourself, old man." Thunder team Sovlosa said frivolously.
Upon hearing this, an unbearable disgust surged from Kobe's heart, "What the hell are you talking about?"
One of the best experiences to travel to others is to be able to make you as thick as you like. Anyway, it’s all others’ making you shit. What does it have to do with Wei Xia?
Sovlosa was intimidated by Kobe's vicious eyes and did not dare to answer the conversation.
Howard wins the jump ball.
The classic D'Antoni-style offensive routine, the point guard takes the ball, sets up a horn, and comes out to play a dog for the ball holder.
Did Howard spend two years performing the "Loyalty" trilogy to be a dog for the Lakers?
After hearing Wei Xia's instigation, Howard wanted to be brave enough to be himself. The fake pick-and-roll forced the Thunder's defense to a high position, and the ball-holder had to feed him the ball.
This approach is naturally inappropriate. Although Sessions averaged 10 games under D'Antoni, he is not a ball holder who can withstand opponents' attacks and accurately make the ball in the playoffs.
The intention of passing to Howard was too obvious, and Durant shook his super long wingspan that was favored by God to destroy the pass.
In addition to Durant himself, there is also Kobe, who is Wei Xia himself who foresaw these moments.
It's strange that when he stood from Kobe's perspective, he could see the Lakers' tactics, and then used his own game experience as a reference, and could predict Durant's advancement route after intercepting the ball. Even if he has no advantage in his body, he would stand at a critical position and land on the ball with his hands. No matter you have to pull the ball with both hands and throw out an Olympic five-ring, or learn from Houston's third brother who is erecting his chest and squinting buttocks, the defense is absolutely fine.
"The Thunder steals first and then make a mistake, good goal Kobe!"
The commentator shouted loudly, Wei Xia grabbed the ball that fell again, and Kobe's desire to attack in his blood was activated.
He could clearly give Howard a comfortable alift, and he insisted on making a three-pointer that was exactly the same as Wade's buzzer-beating defeat at the top of the arc when no one defended the arc.
Damn it, why can't I control my hand?
"Bang!"
To travel the world with an excel, fans of the form that looks down on all the stars throughout the ages can naturally severely accuse Kobe of his offensive choices.
Even Wei Xia himself felt the thrilling feeling of "I made a big trough".
He really couldn't control himself at that moment.
But he must control Kobe. If he finally crossed the line and broke Kobe's Achilles tendon, why did he do this?
"Boy, you should pass the ball to me!" Howard had a big opinion, "My chance is obviously better brother!"
"Who is your brother?" Wei Xia almost blurted out, and she apologized shyly: "I was impulsive, Dwight, it's all my fault. We will definitely take you as the absolute core tonight. I am your biggest supporter!"
Although Howard didn't know which wall Kobe hit today, he was very satisfied with such a compassionate Kobe.
He nodded and ran back, his enthusiasm doubled.
From O'Neal to Bynum, and then to Howard, Kobe worked hard enough. He lived in three talented giant babies in the three most critical periods of his career.
If you can win three consecutive championships by playing O'Neal, I really don't know what to say about the two guys behind.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kobe." Wei Xia, who was teammate with Cousins, felt deeply the same.
Cooperating with such a person is like raising a husky. It is too unrealistic to expect it to not destroy the house and must be disciplined.
Some husky became sensible when they grew up, such as Cousins;
Some are simply spoiled by shoveling poop, or are negligent in discipline and will be willing to let go, so they become demons step by step.
It's like Howard and Bynum.
Westbrook was transported to the frontcourt and triggered to ignore Durant's passive skills. Sessions showed off his zombie jump shot under defense and made a blacksmith.
If it were D'Antoni's previous team, he would have to fight back by holding the defensive rebound.
But the Lakers' core lineup is too old, Kobe and Ci Shiping cannot run, Howard and Gasol cannot run, and Sessions will likely be blocked when he goes solo, so he will still steadily knock down the position.
This style of play has seriously violated D'Antoni's coaching philosophy, and the Lakers are showing a four-dimensional appearance.
It touches you anywhere, but it doesn't look like you anywhere.
Howard bravely asked for the ball with his back and successfully suppressed Perkins.
Sessions passed the ball, and his turn was pretty solid. The six-digit US dollars he gave to Dameng every year was not in vain.
Perkins lost his defensive position, Howard took the air with all his might and dunked, slightly as a peak shark.
"Have you ever seen Superman?" Howard shouted arrogantly, "I will rule you!"
Kobe's heart was filled with disdain, and Wei Xia could not show it on her face.
He knew that Kobe didn't like Howard's style of showing his emotions, which must remind him of the days when he helped the sharks.
Just like Wei Xia is very sure that he was with the Lakers for the first three years, but if he likes those three years or not, he can only give you a smile and understand it yourself.
The strongest point of guarding against opponents on the field, the Zen masters off the field, the training is tortured by Kobe, and the media off the field - what is this a life that people live?
There are many problems with the Thunder's attack.
Too frizzy and unstable.
They don’t look at absolute opportunities, but “I think I can vote”, so they vote.
It is indeed difficult for Westbrook to play a steady attack. Even Durant cannot ask for the ball as he pleases, let alone others.
When Durant hit Ci Shiping in the low post, he only used a single ball to force Wei Xia to attack, and his ball passed out.
Sovlosa scored three points at the top of the arc and made another iron.
Wei Xia saw the opportunity and was the first to make a fast attack.
"Transfer!!!Transfer!!!Transfer!!!Transfer!!!"
D'Antoni shouted so much that the veins on his neck were exposed.
It seems that he misses the team's fast break very much. Wei Xia runs as much as possible. Kobe's running rhythm is different from that of him, and his speed is not as fast as he does.
Wei Xia has experienced acl tear, but the main impact is the lateral movement speed, and the linear speed has always been one of the fastest in the league.
If the counterattack speed is slow, you will be caught up by your opponent.
Exaggeratedly, the person who the Thunder caught up with was not Durant or Westbrook, two talented young masters, but Ibaka, who God knows how old he is.
Wei Xia actually saw Ibaka, but he chose to believe Kobe's athletic ability.
I believe that the 34-year-old Kobe's athletic ability is destined to leave a embarrassed moment for this world-renowned Western Conference semi-final.
Ibaka jumped up from the paint area like a bird, flew into the air from top to bottom, and nailed the board hard to completely turn Wei Xia's fast break into the opponent's five best ball moments.
"No one can make such a layup in front of me!"
Ibaka spoke harsh words in English with a clear accent.
These words reminded Wei Xia of the first time she met Paul Gasol. At that time, the deal had just been completed, Wei Xia and Kobe went to greet Gasol in person.
There was such a conversation at that time.
Wei Xia responded on behalf of Kobe, just like Gasol at the time: "It's so regrettable, I just don't have anyone!"
Chapter completed!
