157: Shaq is right (5K(1/3)
Kobe had 25 points at halftime, but the Lakers trailed by 11 points.
This is probably a microcosm of the Lakers' season.
After watching half of the game, O'Neal felt much happier.
What else is there to say? Wayne really sucks.
This is the first time O'Neal has seen someone who can make Kobe angry by talking trash. Wayne is really talented.
Although Kobe Bryant's 25 points in the half seemed very cool, it was actually a good thing to put him into unlimited singles.
Is it possible that Kobe Bryant can still score 70 or 80 points in a single game?
It’s not realistic!
O'Neal is really impressed by Wayne. I don't know if he can become the best player. O'Neal doesn't know.
But he definitely deserves a place in the Trash Talking Hall of Fame.
The last time the Heat beat the Pacers, Wayne blasted Wade, who was said to be invulnerable, to shut down.
This time, it's Kobe again.
Can you believe this is just the strength of a first-year rookie?
Just by talking trash, O'Neal thinks Wayne is enough to make the rookie first team!
At this time, Wayne did not know that he had received O'Neal's praise.
But he knew that Kobe had already played very hard.
The Lakers' rotation under Hamblen is, simply put, the most classic team that fucks up the main force.
As expected of me, I started my career with a Zen master, and my personality has been cultivated very well.
Zen Master called a timeout and I lost, but Han Bron called a timeout and I lost.
Since he took over the Lakers, except for the incompetent Mihm, the other four members of the Lakers starting five have often played around 40 minutes or even more than 40 minutes.
It is common for Kobe and Odang to play more than 42 minutes in a game.
In the second quarter just now, Kobe played the entire quarter.
Therefore, if you say that Kobe's consumption is not great, that is impossible.
Artest was just focused on defense today, and he was swimming almost all the time on the offensive end. He was already so exhausted.
Kobe had to attack and defend at the same time. No matter how hard his physical strength was, he would exceed his limit.
No one can compete with Artest for 40 minutes in this period, not even Kobe!
So in the second half, when the Pacers wanted to win, the best way was to send Artest to continue to get beaten!
"Why...why are you all looking at me like this?" Artai found that everyone looked at him strangely.
Everyone's eyes were full of admiration, but also with a trace of pity.
"Ron, you are doing a good job. The organization will remember your contribution." Wayne, who was sitting next to Artest, patted Artest on the shoulder.
Tonight, I would like to call you Gangtai!
"Ron, continue to restrict Kobe in the second half. You did a good job in the first half, and he has started to hit the iron continuously. If you keep it up, we will definitely escape from Los Angeles." At this time, even Carlisle also spoke.
Artest rubbed his ribs, which were bruised all over by his elbow, and wanted to cry but had no tears.
Captain, Xiao Ao has become the captain.
Kobe, Wayne sprayed.
But it was me who received the hardest beating.
Artest couldn't help but look up at the lights in the locker room, with tears in his eyes.
"Well, I'll get on with it, everyone."
At this time, Artest felt that his image was quite tragic.
If he wants to make a documentary or write an autobiography in the future, he must tell this paragraph vividly!
The first sentence begins with: "At that time, the Pacers were facing the biggest disaster. Then, the whole team was counting on me!"
At the beginning of the third quarter, although the Lakers trailed by 11 points, the fans in Staples Center were still enthusiastic.
Kobe seemed to have regained his physical fitness at this time. At least on the surface, you couldn't tell that he felt tired at all.
But what surprised Kobe was that No. 91 was actually the same as him.
When Kobe passed the midfield line with the ball, Artest remained calm and the intensity of the confrontation did not drop at all.
He still clamped down on Kobe, regardless of physical strength or consequences.
"Damn, it's really difficult!" Kobe cursed secretly. He had no choice but to give the ball to Odom.
Don't get me wrong, Kobe didn't want to give up this scoring opportunity, he just wanted to beat Artest without the ball.
Kobe does need a lot of shots, but he doesn't necessarily need the ball.
Even without the ball in his hands, Kobe can still score.
Without the ball, with the ball, Kobe has no problem.
Kobe leaned on Artest and sat in the middle distance, seemingly trying to hit Artest with his back.
At this time, Kobe was not yet fully developed as a post-up player, but he was not completely incapable of playing.
Artest tried his best to hold up Kobe and prevent him from catching the ball.
But at this moment, Kobe suddenly pushed Artest and ran away immediately!
Reggie Miller looked at it and thought, oh, I'm trying to imitate him.
Because he pushed Artest away, Kobe got a shooting opportunity after running out.
Odom tacitly handed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe caught the ball and shot!
Let’s return the points difference to single digits!
"Huh?" Kobe was about to take action when his vision suddenly went dark.
Although Kobe's anti-interference ability is extremely strong, it does not mean that he can directly ignore the defense.
Being hit so suddenly still disrupted Kobe's shooting rhythm.
The basketball eventually deflected a little, hit the side of the rim and bounced out.
Kobe continues to hit shots!
In the Staples Center, the continuous blacksmith concerto was played.
"Wei, his defense turned Kobe's almost certain goal into a blacksmith."
The American commentary has no originality and no passion.
To really listen to the commentary, you have to listen to CCTV’s guidance Zhang.
"Although Kobe didn't score this goal, we have to play like this!"
This goal made Coach Zhang feel mixed in his heart. On the one hand, Wayne played excellent defense against Kobe, and he was happy.
But on the other hand, Kobe missed the shot and he was a little sad.
This is probably called the Two Heavens of Ice and Fire.
"Don't try to score easily again, Kobe. We are about to end the game, and you have no chance."
"Haha, I missed this shot purely because of my bad touch. It has nothing to do with your weak defense, Chu'er."
"Soft? Are you sure?"
"Is it possible that you still think you are a tough guy?"
Kobe and Wayne exchanged some words with each other, and Wayne found...it seemed quite interesting!
Ever since he had a few words with Tianzun when he participated in an event the year before last, Wayne's strange interest began to grow wildly.
Meeting an opponent who can fight you back and forth is much more interesting than an opponent who only knows how to take advantage of you.
This time the Pacers attacked, Wayne set up an off-ball screen, Miller cut out, and after receiving the ball, he shot.
But Kobe also stepped in immediately, causing Miller to miss the shot.
Although it was Miller who interfered, Kobe glared at Wayne after completing his defense.
Damn it, kill Mi Zhenwei?
"Kobe can actually complete such a defense, as if he will never get tired. The Lakers counterattacked, Lamar Odom shot from the mid-range on the right side... Wayne pounced in time again,
It interfered with Lamar’s jump shot, but it didn’t!”
Kobe and Wayne played back and forth on defense!
"Brat..." Kobe watched Wayne actively chase after him and complete the defense. Although he was very unhappy, he suddenly felt that... he admired that kid?
Although his mouth was a bit broken, his attitude of fighting for victory is indeed worthy of praise.
To be continued...
