Chapter 355: The opponent of the finals is released
At a training gym at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Lakers players discussed yesterday's Eastern Conference Finals after recovering and analyzing the Spurs' tactics. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Odom said: "I didn't expect the Hawks to actually make it to the Finals, and I always felt that even if the Celtics were down 3-1, they still had a good chance to come back. ”
Luke Wharton said: "It can only be said that the Hawks are underrated, especially with their small-ball lineup, which disrupted the Celtics' deployment. ”
Fisher said disapprehantly: "Come on, the Eagles are just finished a sneak attack."
Their roots are still superstar singles. Just look at the stats of G5 Kraft Nguyen and Joe Johnson.
When it comes to maximizing the efficiency of superstars, there's no better tactic than the 'triangle tactic'. ”
After Lao Yu said this, he also peeked at Phil Jackson, this fart is really like a spring breeze.
Kobe Bryant said to his sister-in-law next to him, "What do you think, Paul?"
Gasol thought about it, hugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care about the situation in the east now, let's get rid of the Spurs first." ”
To be honest, Gasol has been beaten by Duncan in almost every game in these games, and he really has no interest in discussing the opponent in the next round. In his opinion, getting rid of Spurs first is the priority.
Bryant said, "Okay, when we win the Western Conference championship, we'll talk about the Finals opponents." ”
Since getting his sister-in-law, Kobe has always taken the initiative to maintain his sister-in-law's status in the team, even if he was in the first four stops in the West, Gasol did not get a bargain from Deng Dudu, but Kobe Bryant understands very well that if he changes someone, I am afraid it will not be as simple as being blown up.
That's right, the sister-in-law was indeed blown up by the stupidity, but from the overall point of view, the sister-in-law did limit the stupidity to a certain extent, and this cannot be reflected in the data.
The Lakers use Jordan's rule two against the Spurs, and the target is the No. 21 rookie.
The players didn't put much focus on the Hawks, but Phil Jackson, as head coach, was very focused.
On the surface, the Hawks' knocking out of the formidable Celtics should be quite favorable for the Lakers.
There is even a school of thought that it is a matter of time before the Lakers win the championship, and the league is favoring the Purple and Gold Aristocrats.
But the Zen master doesn't think so, the Hawks can kill the Celtics 4:1, which means that they are not weaker than the Celtics at least in terms of overall strength, and only the brainless guys will believe that those leagues will favor the Lakers.
His assistant coach and the inventor of the triangle offense, Tex Winter, could tell the old man's concern at a glance.
The old Winter is a stricter existence than Jackson in training, and it is said that even Jordan will be criticized by him, because of physical reasons, this must be his last season as an NBA coach, but the 9 championship rings on his hand (Bulls 6 + Lakers 3) can already speak for themselves.
"Are you worried about Atalanta's small-ball tactics, Phil?" said Tex Winter with a laugh.
Jackson said: "Do you think the future of the league will really be an era of rapid offensive and defensive transitions?"
Old Winter smiled again: "Of course it will, if the alliance does not have the next Olajuwon or O'Neill for a long time, it will definitely be a matter of time." Old man, maybe the good days of the triangle offensive are really coming to an end, and the alliance is getting faster and faster!"
Phil Jackson shook his head and said, "No, I still think that in the playoffs, there is no better tactic than a triangle offense that can bring out the supergiant's individual ability." Turk, I don't think our era will end. ”
Old Winter was very open to all this, and he continued: "Yes, your time is not over, but my time is coming to an end. ”
Phil Jackson suddenly said firmly: "Give me a good life, and see that I will definitely carry you into the Hall of Fame." ”
"Don't worry, I'll get in alive, and hopefully I won't have to buy a ticket to get in," said Tex-Winter. ”
After saying that, both of them burst out laughing.
On May 29, 2008, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Lakers vs Spurs Western Conference Finals G5 game is about to start.
With the Lakers leading by a large margin to get the match point, fans in Los Angeles are generally optimistic that the Lakers can advance to the final Finals.
The Spurs in even-numbered years are still going strong, but for the most part, they are the whetstone for the championship.
Think about the regular season, the Hawks killed the Spurs on the road, and then think about the Lakers' suppression of the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, it is not difficult to find that if you want to win the championship, the Spurs are the hurdle that you absolutely can't avoid.
As soon as G5 opened, the Spurs showed the courage to break the boat, with Mike Finley and Tim Duncan being the top players on both teams in the first quarter, scoring 8 and 7 points in a single quarter, respectively.
As for the Lakers, Radmanovic and Kobe Bryant scored a team-high 5 and 4 points, respectively.
At 28:15, the first quarter of the game ended, and the Lakers trailed their opponents by 13 points at home, which is really not a small pit.
Maybe they're really thinking about their Finals opponents, but the old Spurs are telling the Lakers that the Western Conference Finals aren't over yet.
In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant stepped up, he shot 4 of 6 in a single quarter, 1 of 1 free throws, and scored 9 points and 1 assist in a single quarter. Erniu's senior at UCLA, Jordan Farmar, also performed well, scoring 6 points on 3-of-6 shooting in a single quarter, recovering a lot of points for the Lakers in the second quarter.
For the Spurs, only Brent Barry played well, shooting 2 of 3 three-pointers in the single quarter, scoring 6 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist.
At 20:27, the Lakers recovered 7 points in a single quarter.
At the end of the first half, at 48:42, the Spurs entered the second half with a six-point advantage.
The third quarter was a watershed moment for the game.
In the first half of the quarter, to be precise, before the last 5 minutes and 19 seconds of the third quarter, the Lakers were playing the role of hard to catch up, but it was difficult to catch up.
But in the last 5 minutes, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and the Lakers played a wave of 14:7 counterattack, and in the last half minute, with a 3-pointer from Radmanovic to complete the score overtake.
At 15:22, the Lakers recovered 7 points in a single quarter.
Kobe Bryant once again turned on the singles mode, scoring 9 points and 1 assist in a single quarter, and Odom was very focused in this quarter, scoring 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, helping the Lakers overtake their opponents.
And in the final quarter of the game, it completely became Kobe Bryant's performance time.
Although the Spurs have closed the score more than once, they have no power to parry in the face of Kobe Bryant, who has entered the god-killing mode.
In this quarter, Kobe Bryant made 6 of 11 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 17 points and 1 assist in a single quarter, completely ending the suspense of the game.
At 29:36, the Lakers kept the Spurs under pressure in the final quarter of the game, and they won G5.
The moment the Lakers will begin to celebrate wildly, the Spurs will understand that their 07-08 season is over.
No matter how strong they are in odd-numbered years, in the second year, they can't hide their weakness in even-numbered years.
The Spurs are indeed the giants of the West, but this season, it's time for them to go home drinking and fishing.
Dumb wouldn't say anything like "the future is yours" to Kobe. It's all a thousand-year-old fox, so there's no need to talk about fasting.
"Good luck, Kobe, the Eagles aren't weak at all!" said Dumb.
Kobe Bryant smiled, "Tim, I'll catch up with your rings!"
