genius point guard

Chapter 779 Tradition is good, but it is not suitable now
It was too difficult to find a chance at Oracle Arena, but Phil Jackson boldly changed the team's tactics.

Phil Jackson removed Artest this time and let Jordan Hill start.

Jordan Hill is only a second-round pick, but his name sounds awesome.And his performance has always been good. In the Lakers this season, he served as Howard's substitute and played to a certain level.At least, much higher than people expected.

Twin Towers!

The Lakers finally lined up the twin towers.

Someone said before that Artest's speed was slow, and he couldn't prevent the Warriors' quick counterattack.With the speed of the Warriors, he is like a drag bottle.He's a better defensive player, but right now he's too slow.

Phil Jackson naturally understood that he wanted to change like this in the last game, but he gave up in the end.His team reverted to the previous lineup and did not use the twin tower lineup for this game.

Phil Jackson has his own concerns. The risk of changing the lineup in two games is too great, and if he loses, he will be blamed.The main thing is the risk of backing the blame.

If it wasn't for this game that the Lakers were almost looking for a chance of life in a desperate situation, he would definitely not send the twin towers to fight.This is a risky move, but at this time he can only make a risky move.

The Warriors did not expect that the Lakers would really play with the Twin Towers in this game. The Warriors did not change their starting lineup with a small lineup.When the Lakers submitted their starting lineup two hours ago, they were not this starter.

Timothy Glenn thinks the Zen masters are trying to hide their starting lineup, but in fact the Zen masters are also very entangled.

As people get older, their personality changes.The Zen master has become a little indecisive now, always trying to maintain his own image and his own records.In fact, when he was swept by the Mavericks the season before he left the Lakers, many people felt that the myth of Jackson was shattered.I feel even more that the Zen master is a superstar nanny, and when the superstar fails, he will fail too.

When a person wants to protect something more, it proves that he cares more, and the more he cares and protects, sometimes it will have the opposite effect.

The Lakers, who attacked from the twin towers, had a relatively smooth start. Chris Paul kept throwing the ball inside, and the Lakers also made a good start with the twin towers.

The 9-3 start is very good for the Lakers.

Zen Master was nervous, he was no longer as calm as before, and he stood up from the coaching bench at least three times in the first 2 minutes of today's game.

The Warriors did not call a timeout or make a substitution.

Chen Mo made a gesture on the field, which meant to speed up.

When the Lakers slow down to the slowest speed, the Warriors will naturally speed up their speed.

"This is an ending of mutual restraint." Barkley said: "Let's see who can do more damage to each other."

Although Artest's footsteps are slow, he still has an advantage over Jordan Hill in anti-positioning screens.Jordan Hill's size makes it harder to get around or squeeze through screens.

The Warriors turned on a faster mode, and Chen Mo threw the ball directly to Curry, who was at the front of the line.

Curry used the rhythm to retreat to the three-point line and shoot.

Curry completed a forced three-pointer against Paul.

The ball went directly to the basket, and the Warriors who stood outside the three-point line still had an advantage.

"Both sides are playing to their best strengths," Smith said. "But the Golden State Warriors still have an advantage at the three-point line."

The Warriors have reversed the score, and now they lead the Lakers 15 to 14.

The Warriors started with 12 points from beyond the arc.

Curry threw two, Chen Mo threw one, and Thompson threw one.In addition, Millsap broke through to the basket and caused a foul by Jordan Hill, scoring 2+1.

"This is the advantage of the Golden State Warriors. They only scored 5 goals, but they scored more than the 7 goals scored by the Los Angeles Lakers." Smith said with emotion: "Maybe that famous saying needs to be changed. It's time to change it to - whoever hits the three-point line wins the world."

Smith's emotion was not wrong. The Warriors who accelerated their counterattacks and increased their strikes outside the three-point line did take the initiative on the court.But many people don't accept it. They are those who like to stick to the old tradition.It cannot be said that the old idea of ​​​​"the insider wins the world" is wrong, but at least it is not suitable for the moment.Because, now there is no Olajuwon, no O'Neal, no Robinson, no Ewing.Howard, the "weakest first center" alone, can't handle the small ball storm.

Zen Master whistled twice, but to no avail.The Lakers can't get back to defense faster, and their defense can't expand.

The inside can't play explosive dominance.

If the Lakers' starting center is now O'Neal, O'Neill can destroy the Warriors' inside line into powder, leaving no fragments.

The Warriors could only use a foul to block, allowing O'Neal to smash the basket at the free throw line.

But now, facing Howard, the Warriors don't need to be so troublesome.

They speed up and then use three-pointers to destroy the Lakers' defense.

In the half game, the Lakers always carried out the strategy of holding high and playing high, but it was obvious that their first half was a failure.

51 to 67, the visiting team is behind the former home team, and the possibility of the Lakers seeking a chance at Oracle Arena has been reduced to the extreme.

The low air pressure in the visiting team's locker room has not changed at all, and everyone is silent.

Kobe didn't even change his clothes or wipe his sweat with a towel.He let the sweat pool on his chin and drip onto the carpet.

Zen master didn't speak either, he didn't have a story suitable for the current situation in his mind, and he didn't know how to make tactical adjustments.Zen Master still has a strategy to deal with the Warriors in his mind, but now his lineup cannot make such adjustments.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and this is the situation of the Zen master now.

"Phil, what do you think we should do next." Kobe asked.

The Zen master was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to talk about what he had already emphasized N times, such as returning to defense, rebounding, and shooting percentage.

As soon as Zen Master spoke, Kobe interrupted him. "If there's nothing new, don't say it."

It's been a long time since Kobe has pissed off Zen Master like this. Since he returned to the Lakers for the second time, Kobe hasn't pissed him off like this.

After another half hour, Kobe changed his clothes, stood up and checked his equipment carefully, and wiped the newly put on sneakers with wet wipes.Only then said slowly but firmly: "In the second half, give me the ball!"

The Black Mamba is about to start performing. In fact, what the Los Angeles Lakers can pin their hopes on now is the Black Mamba.

Chen Mo also changed a pair of shoes in the second half, a pair of pure red sneakers.In the playoffs, he changed a pair of shoes at halftime, and sometimes he would mix and match them.Under Armour's capture of Chen Mo is to capture the whole world, so they are willing to spend all their resources on Chen Mo.

Generally, only the top players will change a pair of shoes at halftime.The shoes are designed strictly according to the foot model of the star, so there is no running-in problem.

Kobe took the lead in the second half when he blocked a pass from Chen Mo to Biedrins.

According to Chen Mo's prediction, Kobe couldn't break the ball.But predictions sometimes make mistakes. Chen Mo's calculations are based on conventional data, and the explosion of human potential cannot be included in conventional data.

Steal the ball, one-stop, dunk!
Kobe bared his teeth, showing a fierce posture all over his body.

"The black mamba is hunting," Barkley said.

"Hopefully he can beat his prey," Smith said.

T-NT definitely wants the game to continue, preferably until the tiebreaker.

In fact, except for the players who played the game, everyone in the world hopes that the game can reach the tiebreaker.

The team and the league can make more money, and the fans can enjoy it.

Kobe began to output crazy, and driven by Kobe, Paul's output efficiency also increased.

Chen Mo joked, "It's cool to see your crazy output under Kobe's crotch!"

The Warriors flanked Kobe, and Kobe's consecutive high-difficulty jump shots touched the Warriors' red line.Prior to this, the Warriors had never flanked Kobe, and the Warriors did not flank Kobe in the first game when Kobe scored 51 points.But after that, the Warriors set a strategy to double-team once Kobe broke out.

When Paul flanked Kobe in the Warriors, he scored very smoothly in several offenses.

Chen Mo would definitely not think of a way to defend. In this case, they kept the defensive strategy unchanged, and then there were two words - attack!
The Warriors are faster.

Kobe Bryant hit another jumper with a high elevation angle.The action of this fadeaway jumper made the visiting team fans applaud.

But the Warriors didn't delay, and Biedrins quickly served from the bottom line.The ball was served so big that Chen Mo almost caught it in half court.Quick serve is also a strategy for the Warriors. If the center cannot keep up, they don't need the center to participate in the first wave of offense. Their high-frequency movement can solve the first wave of offense.

Curry and Kirilenko screened without the ball, and Millsap cut out to cover Chen Mo for the second wave.Chen Mo passed the ball hand-to-hand, and then he and Curry met at the free throw line, and Chen Mo covered Curry.Curry ran to the bottom line, Chen Mo cut to the basket, Millsap followed the space between Chen Mo and Curry, and slid the ball into the basket.

Chen Mo catches the ball for a layup, Howard jumps up to block the shot, Chen Mo flicks his wrist, and the ball goes in.

6 seconds!
It took the Warriors a total of 6 seconds to attack this time.

There were no more pleasantries, and the Warriors quickly returned to defense.

Biedrins just ran out of the front three-point line, and then embarked on the road back to the defense.

He is running back and forth, but Biedrins wants to run back and forth on every attack at this time, which shows that his team can always score goals.

Howard stepped forward and covered Kobe.

The Lakers also developed Kobe's positional cover tactics. Kobe's footwork is very strong, and his ability to get rid of shots in place is also very strong.

"Shua!" Kobe Bryant made another shot.

The difference is 11 points.

Kobe was also in a hurry, and they couldn't find a way to limit the Warriors' offense.

The game is advancing at such a rhythm, it seems to be a huge natural moat, and the Lakers can't step over this natural moat anyway.

In the final quarter of the game, Kobe's efficiency began to decline.

Kobe Bryant missed two consecutive jumpers, and the Warriors successfully set off a counterattack storm.

Jackson passed a long-range pass to Barnes. This pass has a bit of Chen Mo's charm. Barnes sprinted to the basket, and then completed a tough attack on the basket.He faced Paul without the slightest fear.Although Paul loves him very much, if it was the former Barnes, maybe he would be afraid in his heart.Now, he is not afraid at all.

In fact, as Qianzhi Donkey said, when a tiger sees a donkey for the first time, it is afraid. This is the nature of animals.

The same is true of people and people. For a strange person with a huge aura, the first time you see it, you are also afraid.But as everyone knows, while you are afraid of others, others are also afraid of you.

Barnes didn't have self-confidence before, but now he has, the result is different.

Then, it was another chance for the Warriors to counterattack.

Kirilenko took a cold shot from the bottom corner to find the space for an open shot, and hit a three-pointer directly.

The Lakers retreated even slower. They were like a big boat full of holes, leaking everywhere.

"Mamba... tired!" Barkley said.

The Lakers are still insisting. Although the point difference is once again showing a trend of widening, they have not given up.

In the 6th minute of the last quarter, Chen Mo played again.The difference between the two sides is 17 points, and the Lakers have no chance.

Kobe is still fighting, still with that stubborn energy.He really doesn't accept it, really doesn't accept it...

Kobe faced Chen Mo and waved away, looking for a single.

Chen Mo and Kobe, Kobe turned around and faced Chen Mo sideways.

Bryant popped forward twice, then feinted and turned, still very deceptively fast, before turning back for a jumper.

The ball went into the basket.

Kobe pointed at Chen Mo, and then at himself.

50 points.

It's 50 points again.

Although he hit 37 goals in 16 shots, the hit rate can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Kobe made a lot of free throws today, and the referee also wanted to help the Lakers win a game, but the hope is still slim.

Zen master stood on the sidelines, he knew that tonight the situation was over.

Chen Mo faced Kobe and Paul and scored 2+1.

With a free throw, Chen Mo has almost helped the game to a conclusion.

"A game-killing free throw," Barkley said.

Kobe is still fighting, and he hasn't stopped.

Kobe caused Chen Mo's foul.

Kobe stood at the free throw line, and he took a few heavy breaths.Chen Mo walked past him, he could feel Kobe's body trembling.Kobe has reached his limit.

Something unexpected happened. When Kobe was about to make a free throw, the Oracle Arena rang out MVP shouts.

"MVP..."

The shouts grew louder.

When the Warriors were almost certain to win, the fans at Oracle Arena generously presented Kobe with the highest level of honor.

In the Oracle Arena, among all the players on the court, except for Chen Mo, no one had enjoyed this treatment.

Bryant made two free throws and was replaced.Zen master replaced all the substitute players, Kobe was very disappointed, but when he hugged Zen master, he whispered: "Come back next year!"
