Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 218 This trick is too damaging

Leading by 8 points.

And Hardaway knows that these few minutes at the beginning of the second half are very important.

Skiles just wanted to score through the one-on-one duel between himself and Kobe, and then take the opportunity to open up the score.

An old fox like Jackson would definitely not allow Kobe to hurt the team by being one-on-one like this.

But as long as they seize this opportunity and expand the score to more than ten points, it will not be that easy for the Lakers to chase points.

So my task is very heavy.

Not only must he provoke Kobe and let him challenge him one on one, but he must also defend him as much as possible, and then score as many goals as possible.

It's hard.

After all, this is Kobe, already the best guard in the league, capable of competing for the scoring title and MVP.

Various mid-range shots behind the back have always been his trick.

His expression was ugly and he couldn't help but scream.

But got in.

Because of the duel between the two, O'Neal can only run back and forth.

Kobe forcefully pulled his body back, turned over and pounced.

Nelson nodded and said with a faint smile: "I feel that O'Neal is starting to feel unhappy."

Breaking through the emergency stop, pulling back, a difficult flank was two points long.

The score difference has reached 13 points.

Therefore, in this unrestricted duel, Hardaway clearly had the upper hand.

Kobe clenched his fists excitedly, but when he turned his head, he noticed the calm Hardaway.

So he has excellent scoring ability and matching scoring skills.

Chen Yu believes that if he goes to a weak team and has unlimited firing rights, it will be easy for him to average 30 points per game.

Yes, the score is behind, but as long as I can make a shot, I can get the score back immediately.

Kobe gritted his teeth and asked for the ball again.

Except for slightly poor defense, he is so comprehensive that he has almost no shortcomings.

The unhappiness in his heart had accumulated to the extreme.

Although this is not the half-turn step back that has been repeatedly mentioned by the media and included in the highlights, the connection between back and turn is still very spiritual.

Under his command, the only thing is the stars. In his coaching career for so many years, Jackson has done one thing well, and that is to make the stars play comfortably. He also knows very well the consequences of making the stars dissatisfied and unhappy.

He wanted to make a sudden move, and instantly switched to his back, but it was only a half-turn, attracting Kobe to take a step forward, and immediately turned around, squeezing past Kobe with one quick step.

"Anfernee seems to be more powerful." Chen Yu commented on the sidelines.

That's right, I only entered one.

Because of this goal, Jackson, who had already felt that Kobe was a little over the top, hesitated and did not choose to call a timeout, or shouted two reminders to Kobe from the sidelines.

continue!

So when Hardaway once again made a shot against Kobe's defense and caught the dropped basketball under the basket, O'Neal smashed the ball to the floor angrily.

He even curled his lips.

"Why?" After the timeout, Kobe still had a question mark on his face and turned to look at Jackson.

In this regard, Kobe is far behind. After all, he is still young and his offensive skills are not proficient enough.

But the road to the championship is never that easy. Hardaway still has this awareness.

Although the movement was a little deformed, the basketball still hit the ball steadily.

The whistle sounded.

And when O'Neal reached out for the ball, Kobe ignored him.

And Hardaway seemed to have expected it. After a pause, he dribbled the ball behind his back and shot.

He is a team player who always puts the team's victory first.

The joy that just came to my heart disappeared in an instant.

Just ignore it, Kobe Bryant still can't make the key shot.

Taking a deep breath, Hardaway started.

The score difference came to 10 points.

Jackson reached for a timeout.

Unlike Kobe, Hardaway's shooting range is quite long and he has a certain three-point range.

I am still losing.

Although Hardaway's scoring ability has never been explosive enough, it is not that he cannot score, but that he is more willing to share the ball and create opportunities for his teammates.

Kobe walked off the court angrily. He wanted to ask Jackson, but before he could ask, Jackson said with a cold face: "Kobe, you need to calm down, we want to win."

The first sentence was nothing, but the latter sentence, "We want to win," stung Kobe.

So what was I doing just now?

Am I just scoring points and helping the team win?

Kobe clenched his fists and wanted to argue with Jackson. Unexpectedly, Jackson passed him directly and called everyone to come forward and start setting up.

Kobe's face was dark, and then he heard another extremely harsh words. "Give the ball to Shaq."

Jackson looked at O'Neal. Although he could accept today's defeat, he still didn't want to lose if he could not lose.

After defeating the Suns 4-0, wouldn't it be nice for him to take an early rest?

O'Neal nodded vigorously, with an expression that he should have done a long time ago, and even glanced up at Kobe.

This glance stung Kobe's sensitive nerves again.

What do you mean, accusing yourself of just wasting an offensive opportunity?

Kobe sat back with a dark face and covered his head with a towel.

"Kobe actually left early." Hannah Sturm exclaimed in the NBC studio.

Kevin Johnson blinked and looked at Bill Walton.

If you offend someone like this, it’s better for you, the old man, to do it.

Bill Walton curled his lips and answered the question without hesitation. What kind of star was he? Even if he said something bad about him in front of Kobe, Kobe could only listen honestly.

"He was too impulsive. I don't know what happened. He insisted on one-on-one with Anfernee, but this was a game, a crucial Western Conference Finals, playoffs. If they wanted to compete, why not compete? Let’s make an appointment later, and then we’ll have a one-on-one match, and I can be their referee.”

Perhaps because he thought this was not sharp enough, Bill Walton continued: "If I were Phil, I would have to let Kobe sit on the bench and calm down. He is hurting the team by playing like this. You see, O'Neal couldn't catch the ball at all, and the Lakers fell behind by 14 points in the blink of an eye."

At this point, Bill Walton changed his tone and suddenly began to praise Hardaway: "Pence is really great, and his offensive skills are really outstanding. I can say this, in the current league, if Pence wants to score, and not many people can stop him.”

"Look at how fast he turns and how fast he is. He is so healthy. If he could have met Chen after his injury and could not come back so early, he would have already gained honors and become the best in the league. Star."

"Of course, he is still the best and top star in the league."

As an NBA legend, Bill Walton is more comfortable with stars from the 1990s like Hardaway.

Seeing Walton getting more and more excited, Kevin Johnson quickly interrupted Walton with a strike.

Also a good shot.

O'Neal caught the ball under the basket, arrogantly squeezed Olajuwon away, and forced the ball into the basket.

It's so incomprehensible, there's no way around it.

Like the Suns, with two top stars in O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, their salary space is equally explosive. And even though we are in a big market like Los Angeles, we should be as rich as the Knicks, but we can't stand the fact that the Buss family is so poor, so we can't bear to invest money like crazy.

Therefore, the Lakers, like the Suns, are specifically searching the market for veterans who want a championship and are willing to lower their worth.

Look at Brian Shaw, Kobe's main substitute, he is also a 36-year-old veteran who is about to retire.

And looking at his career, he is just the most ordinary role player in the league.

But in the Lakers, he found his own position, a puzzle piece to win the championship, a cold-blooded shooter with a big heart from the outside.

But after all, he is old. Facing Hardaway today, he can only say that he is powerless.

And Skiles also knows that when the timeout comes back, the Lakers will definitely have one choice, let O'Neal attack.

If the Suns can't be stopped, they can only rely on offense to score points and win the game by relying on the lead created previously.

So Hardaway attacked very fiercely, almost always using the screen to beat Brian Shaw in singles.

The score rose alternately.

At the end of the third quarter, the Suns still led by 13 points.

Jackson's face was full of pain. For the Lakers, Kobe was not only a simple scorer, but also a top defensive player on the outside.

He turned his head and glanced at Kobe, who had an ugly expression.

Emotionally, Jackson doesn't want Kobe to play again, and even if he loses this game, it's not unacceptable.

But rationally, Jackson knew that Kobe must be allowed to play, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.

Not only Kobe, but also the media. Without even thinking about it after the game, you can know what kind of headlines the media will make up, such as Kobe being abandoned at a critical moment.

Kobe, who is already sensitive, will only become angrier.

So in the fourth quarter, Jackson still let Kobe play. Before he came on the court, he hooked Kobe's shoulder and whispered: "This is the opponent's trick. They do it on purpose. They want you to take more shots and fall into the singles." Trap, remember we are a team and to win you have to rely on your teammates.”

But after hearing this, Kobe frowned again.

What do you mean, you deliberately asked me to take action. What happened to me?

Can’t I score and lead the team to win?

Or, it has to be passed to O'Neal, so what do I become, the little brother who passes the ball to O'Neal?

Kobe walked onto the court with a dark face and said nothing.

Soon, Jackson realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

When Kobe came on the court, he restrained himself a bit and started passing the ball, but Jackson keenly noticed that Kobe had not passed the ball to O'Neal once since he came on the court.

In the first two championship seasons, the two of them often performed OK connections.

Moreover, Kobe was also playing singles, and even took the initiative to find Hardaway to challenge.

Sometimes, it's clear that his teammates have missed the opportunity, but Kobe doesn't seem to see it.

Jackson turned his head and glanced at Scales, scolding him no less than a hundred times in his heart. This is a very damaging move.

Do you know how much talk and energy I will have to spend to solve this problem if you do this?

But now Jackson is riding a tiger. He knows that Kobe's current style of play is hurting the team, but he can't replace Kobe. If he does, Kobe will only be angrier.

With a deep sigh, Jackson sat back directly.

Damn it, I gave up on this one.
