Chapter 196 The boss is saving character
Ji Guomeng received the basketball from the side. This time he planned to play Odom with his back shot, who was pushing his lunge behind him.
Kobe's eyes moved, feeling an opportunity to take advantage of it, and suddenly stepped forward and attacked him!
The little fox turned his back to Kobe at this time, and suddenly a pass from behind his head threw the basketball into Percy's hand, who had just been let go by Kobe.
The Lakers players were shocked. No one could have thought of how Ji Guomomoto discovered Kobe and rushed over. Did he have eyes on his head?
Percy was stunned for a moment when he received the basketball, and then he realized that he immediately made a three-pointer from the outside...
Unfortunately, Percy was not prepared for this goal in advance. With a hasty shot, the basketball was not strong enough and hit the front of the basket and went out.
Ji Guoqiu competed with Gasol for rebounds at the basket, and was stuck at the advantageous position by his experienced sister-in-law, and the giant pandas were unable to grab this goal.
Kobe received the basketball and drove forward. When he arrived at the front court, he bent down. Facing Percy's defense, Pan continuously used his unfast directional fake moves on the outside, shook away the opponent's center of gravity and suddenly flashed through Percy with a turn move, dribbling into the inside...
Ji Guoqiu immediately made up for defense, and Kobe secretly passed the ball to Gasol under the front and back attacks. Kobe passed it this time with an air relay.
Gasol jumped and received a basketball and easily dunked. Kobe's pass was not high, and he fully took care of his sister-in-law's bounce height. The Lakers overturned the score with a wonderful aerial relay.
In the second quarter, Kobe still didn't make many moves, and most of his breakthroughs ended with passing. When he was rarely attacking, the twins didn't have a chance to block Kobe in the inside. Today, the Pans' style of playing was extremely selfless. The threat to the Clippers was also extremely great.
In the second half of the second quarter, the twins' shooting feel began to decline. The team's main attackers became Billups and Artest. One of them broke through the outside and the other attacked at a low post, causing certain damage to the Lakers. The reason why the twins' feel decreased was because the Lakers devoted their main defensive energy to both of them in the second half, and they had no extra troops to double-team Billups and Artest.
The first half ended with a score of 52:54, and the Lakers led by 2 points to end the first half. The Clippers were unpredictable for Kobe like this.
Ji Guochou scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the first half, Ji Guomo had 9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups had 12 points and 3 assists, Artest had 10 points.
Kobe scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in the first half, Paul Gasol scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Odom scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and Ariza scored 6 points.
Charles Barkley commented on the midfielder and said with a big butt, "Today, Kobe learned to keep playing, and he had some hidden strength on the court, and was not in a hurry to attack. In the first half, Kobe only shot three times, all of which were outside. He made a lot of breakthroughs in the first half, but he did not attack once. I think he did a good job and activated his teammates on the court on the 24th today."
Kenny Smith made a metaphor and said, "You know that his nickname is not only 'Pan', but also 'Black Mamba'. Today Kobe is like a venomous snake hidden in the dark, and can deal a fatal blow to the enemy at any time!"
Halftime. Old Dunleavy has no good way to Kobe. The Clippers' defense is excellent enough, but Kobe's sense of ball is so good that he can always pass the basketball before being besieged. This is not a normal Kobe. In the past, he attacked by himself, but today he passed the ball.
Zen masters also have no good way to deal with Lupus and Artest. They can't defend against the breakthrough of Mr. Key and Artest's hard chisel, or they don't have the energy to take care of... The Clippers are now well equipped, and it's unrealistic to defend all of their starting five players! I believe that no one in the 29 NBA teams can do this, and they must have targeted defensive choices.
Phil Jackson made the choice to target twins. He always believed that twins were the most dangerous players on the Clippers. If you look at these two people, they will have a greater chance of winning.
In the second half, the arrangements of the two teams on both sides of the offense and defense did not change much. They both have things that the opponent cannot limit. The winner depends on which side can better seize the opportunity at critical moments. Who can control their mistakes better. A even-match game depends on the two sides' grasp of the details.
At the beginning of the second half, Ji Guoqiu first played pick-and-roll with Billups on the outside. The latter dribbled past Lao Yu, but did not return the ball but broke to the end, and finally caused Odom to make up for a defense foul in the penalty area.
Odom raised his right hand, and the lama suddenly remembered that his foul had reached three times, so he quickly turned to look at the Zen master.
Phil Jackson frowned and indeed replaced Odom with Radmanovich.
Billups clenched his fist with his right hand, and his goal for this ball was Odom from the beginning. Today, Lama performed well and was the player with the Lakers' most points. As long as he was beaten, the pressure on the Clippers' defensive end would be much easier.
Odom was beaten down, and the morale of the Clippers players suddenly increased a lot. The Fox began to use taunt skills again on the defensive end and said to his teammates: "Don't worry about that Chevrolet, he doesn't dare to shoot by himself!"
Kobe is breaking through, and he looks very ugly when he hears this ball. He is clearly thinking about passing the ball to Gasol, but for some reason, he actually shot by himself...
Ji Guomo did not expect that the casual words he said were so useful to Kobe. Kobe was too arrogant and threw the ball in front of him. The little fox jumped up with a spring leg and slapped the basketball back...
"Damn!"
Kobe and Ji Guomo both cursed in their hearts, one of them was blocked because of the shooting, and the other was because the basketball that was blocked was actually flew back to Kobe's hand!
The lucky value of Peter Pan is extremely high today. I don’t know if it was because of the loss of Amvp. The basketball that should have been lost was lost and returned. This time, he shot again before Ji Guomo had already done his new power and easily hit a goal in front of the little fox.
"I've covered you!"
"I'm in front of you!"
After the basketball fell into the basket, these two guys laughed at each other, and then their faces looked ugly.
Kobe was no longer impulsive after this. The ball just now was almost blocked. Pan decided to control his physical impulses and could no longer be provoked by the dead fox to succeed.
At this time, Pan secretly inspired himself in his heart: as long as he won this game, no one would say that he would not attack afterwards, but instead he would say that his selflessness would fulfill the Lakers. What kind of media is? He has been living for so many years and is more clear than the two brothers. Even if he scored 81 points today, the media would definitely criticize and accuse him after losing the game, and by the way, he would all blame him for losing.
In the third quarter, the two brothers strengthened their pick-and-roll cooperation with Billups. After they were disassembled, they would wait for Billups to return the ball at the middle distance and outside the three-point line. The Clippers had two more shot points on the offensive end, and the score increased compared to the second quarter. The Clippers' offense began to become increasingly uncontrollable.
On the Lakers, Kobe also increased his shooting from mid to long distance. When he split the basketball, Pan would immediately use his teammate's unball cover to circumvent. At this time, if Gasol did not have a shooting opportunity in the inside, he would pass the basketball again, allowing Kobe to attack from the outside.
The score was 81:82. The two sides were evenly matched again in the third quarter, and the score difference was very tight. The number of alternate leads between the two teams has reached 10 times in this game, and it has been stalemate.
After three quarters, Ji Guochou scored 10 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guomomiya scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups scored 19 points and 3 assists, Artest scored 15 points, and Mobri scored 10 points.
Kobe scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, Paul Gasol scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, Odom scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and Ariza scored 10 points.
Charles Barkley took advantage of the rest of the two teams in the third quarter and said: "Bryant has the best paint area scoring ability in the second position. Of course, I mean the active second position. He has some unexplainable ability. No matter how big the physical player or how fierce the defense is, it is easy to score. He has a very exquisite mastery of the timing of shooting, and you will find that he can also find shot space in the crowd. This is a great thing, although the All-Stars shot 1v3 and did not touch the three."
Kenny Smith focused his energy on another game at this time and said, "Do you know? I just received the news that the Suns lost another game, and they have lost three consecutive times after the trade! If the Lakers win this game, the two teams will only have one win difference. Now it seems that the Phoenix uses Shawn Marion to trade Shaq O'Neal, which is a wrong decision for the time being!"
Charles Barkley is one of the same as Kobe, that is, his disgust towards O'Neal. At this point, Big Butt and Pan are on the same front. What they want to see most is that O'Neal is in great trouble! So Barkley smiled happily at this time: "I guessed that he is no longer the dominant center. He is now a fat man of more than 300 pounds! Hahahaha... Everyone watch... The Suns' bombardment will make this fat man suffer a lot. I can't wait to watch a Suns game."
Kobe didn't know if he learned the news during the suspension period. Recently, Mr. Shaq O'Neal has been living a very bad life. It's a bit like Guan Yu's trip to Maicheng. He even had a bad luck in drinking cold water. First of all, it would be fine if he cuckolded in his private life. This season, the big fat shark was swept out by Miami, which really made Kobe laugh for several days.
Generally speaking, when a person gets upset, the bad luck usually follows one after another. As O'Neal arrived at the Suns, he did predict to experts that the fat sharks weighing more than 300 pounds could not integrate into the Suns' running and bombing system.
Stoudemire doesn't say it on the surface, but in fact he is very repulsive to this big shark; Nash doesn't like the slow and clumsy O'Neal, the fat shark cannot follow the Feng Son to play a pick-and-roll cooperation; D'Antoni won't change his tactics for O'Neal.
