Pau Gasol disliked Stephen Jackson very much.

Because he realizes that Stephen Jackson comes entirely from his opposite: rudeness, brutality, lack of quality, and toughness!

He likes to be on the pitch and he is adept at constructing a beautiful artistic goal with his footwork.

However... Not so the rude Stephen Jackson.

He always likes to infringe on his opponents with all kinds of small movements, and although he doesn't look that strong, and even the top of his head can only reach the bridge of his nose, he can always do things that make him very uncomfortable.

Bang!

Pau Gasol's shot was disrupted again, and Stephen Jackson just gently put his hand on his waist and pinched it.

The three referees were indifferent, and it was clear that such a small move was inevitable and allowed by the rules to turn a blind eye.

Paul had never won a playoff game before arriving with the Lakers, and a big part of the reason he wasn't used to playoff-level defense: and in Memphis. He is the leader of the team.

Zach Randolph roared under the basket, squeezed Bynum away, and brazenly won the rebound.

Then give it to the little tiger.

The little tiger advances steadily with the ball.

The Black Mamba told Paul while defending: "You have to be tough, you have to put your elbows up and aim them at the bridge of his nose." Tell him that if you provoke me, you'll end up with blood all over my face!"

Pau Gasol nodded, but he still didn't listen. Because it was against his heart to let him do such a horrible thing, he couldn't even imagine that the tip of his elbow was stained with other people's blood.

Swish!

Zach Randolph once again teased Bynum with his footsteps, hitting a layup in the gap.

"Randolph is the only nimble fat guy in history, and it's hard to believe that a guy who is close to three hundred pounds can make such a quick back-turn move!" Earl Johnson praised, "If he had less negative press, he would have been more focused defensively." I'm more than happy to vote for him and get him on the All-Star list!"

"Actually... He doesn't have to please you at all. He only needs Tiger to pull a ticket for him once a year, and even Tim Duncan will be squeezed to the bench by him. Of course... The league will definitely adjust Duncan's position to center in order to save his face. "Barkley shrugged, he was always so honest.

Bynum, after returning to his own half, quickly got his back to the card, he reached out from Lamar Odom to ask for the basketball, and he insisted on singleing Zach Randolph, he wanted to get back face from Zach Randolph.

Poof!

The heavy crash sent sparks flying in the penalty area.

Although Bynum's mouth is very stinky, he has to admit that he has put a lot of effort into body polishing in the past year, and his confrontation ability has increased a lot.

But... The ability to protect the ball is still a concern.

At the moment when he knocked out a little space and went deep into the restricted area to try to turn around and make a layup, the little tiger suddenly attacked...... Cut off his basketball with a snap, and didn't even use extra feints!

After the basketball was shot, the little tiger quickly launched a quick offensive.

He sprinted forward like lightning, leaving all his teammates behind and going deep alone.

The Black Mamba and Vujacic chased after each other and fought to the death.

After the little tiger flashed into the paint area, he deliberately slowed down, allowing Vujacic and Kobe Bryant to attack left and right.

Kobe Bryant was immediately ready for a foul.

However, I saw the little tiger's body scurrying away, and he went directly to Vujasic.

Vujacic hurriedly stepped forward, his defensive strategy is always to face difficulties head-on, and create difficulties if there are no difficulties.

Drip!

The referee blew the whistle and the little tiger easily put the basketball into the hoop!

Fast attack faces the opponent's bag and forcibly creates two plus one!

This requires not only technology, but also intelligence!

Of course, there can't be no madman defender like Vujasic!

The black mamba gave Vujacic a blank look.

He felt that Vujacic's IQ combined with his positivity would be a lethal weapon to destroy the Lakers: stupid people are never scary, but stupid people are the kind of stupid people who apply forward.

Phil Jackson hadn't realized it yet, and the second quarter was never the key to victory for him. In the second quarter, he tends to focus more on stabilizing the situation and observing the opponent's weaknesses. So, that's why when the little tiger was in the Lakers, he would always put the little tiger on the bench in the second quarter to rest.

Because of Phil Jackson's conservatism, this gave the Golden State Warriors breathing room.

The Golden State Warriors, under the leadership of the Little Tigers, topped the Lakers with a tall lineup, and they were in the middle of it.

This made it to the end of the first half.

51:48。

The Golden State Warriors managed to overtake by 3 points and grasp a slight advantage of the initiative.

For these three points, the price paid by the Golden State Warriors is self-evident.

Zach Randolph exerted a lot of energy in the box.

Meanwhile, Stephen Jackson ate 3 fouls in his confrontation with Pau Gasol and... It takes a lot of energy, after all, Gasol's technique is better, and his weight and height are more advantageous.

These two players struggled to play again in the second half.

This means that the little tiger will be under heavier scoring pressure.

Because these two players rank first and third respectively in points per game in the regular season with the Warriors. All the pressure fell on the little tiger. And in the regular season, he averaged only sixth on points per game for the Warriors.

……

In the first half, Tiger scored 16 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Kobe Bryant had 9 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 1 steal. Statistically, Little Tiger is superior. "But I think in the second half, the Lakers are going to show more offense," Earl Johnson said. And the Warriors have pretty much shown what they can do. ”

When commenting on the game at halftime, Earl Johnson still chose to side with the Lakers.

Neither Kenny Smith nor Charles Barkley disagreed.

"The overall strength of the Lakers is still a notch higher, especially after the Darius Myers injury, the Warriors have lost a weapon that can restrain the three-high lineup. Charles Barkley also acknowledged this fact: "We can't make assumptions about what would have happened if Darius Miles hadn't been injured. But now... Tiger was the only key factor in the Warriors' victory. But, let's not forget that the Lakers also have the Black Mamba at the helm. There is no player in the league who knows more about Little Tiger than the Black Mamba!"

However, there is also no player in the league who knows the Black Mamba better than Little Tiger. Kenny Smith added, saying, "The Warriors still have a close 50 percent chance of winning this series. Because, they have already won a game in advance. ”

……

The voices of the commentators represent the new voices of most of the audience, and the Lakers are still so strong after all, after all, they have invested so much this year and have a lineup like a galaxy battleship. In contrast, the Warriors' roster is much more ordinary.

But even if the Lakers win this round of the playoffs, not many people will consider them big winners.

Because they could have gotten more, and if they hadn't traded Tigers, if they hadn't traded Kwame Brown, Darius Myers, and Radmanovic, the Lakers would have been invincible this year. Even if you meet Celtic, you can easily win the championship. And, what's even more terrifying is that the Little Tiger will seamlessly connect with the peak of the Black Mamba, and they are very likely to break the history of eight consecutive championships.

It's an opportunity that no team can afford to miss. But... Kupchak and Bass Jr. messed up: because of their moves, the West had one more team to win the championship. At the same time, the probability of winning for Celtic has also increased dramatically!

Drip!

The whistle blew and the third quarter began.

On the Lakers' side, Phil Jackson put on an offensive lineup of Derrick Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Trevor Ariza, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol.

Correspondingly, the Warriors have a lineup of Kwame Brown, Mirichic, Michael Petrus, Montaelis and Little Tigers.

In terms of salary, the Warriors' five players combined are only Kobe Bryant's salary. Both Monta and Petrus received close to the base salary. Little Tiger is on a rookie contract, Mirisic is a mini-mid-range, and Kwame Brown is still on his last contract with an annual salary of eight million.

It stands to reason that this lineup can't compete with the Lakers' Galaxy Battleship!

But as soon as the game began, the Warriors gave the Lakers a dismissal.

The little tiger received the serve and directly slammed into the penalty area, although the black mamba followed him like a shadow and blocked his shooting space, but he didn't expect him to pass the ball behind the Lakers in the middle of the march, Monta Ellis patted the horse to follow, and received the basketball and smashed the yellow dragon!

Pau Gasol could only raise his hands helplessly when he heard the referee blow the whistle.

Subsequently, the little tiger repeated his old tricks and made various sprints to lead the team.

It once made the Lakers very embarrassed.

By the end of the third quarter, the margin had widened to eight points.

Phil Jackson waved his hand and announced the bag!

Let the Black Mamba and Trevo Ariza clamp the little tiger like a shadow.

The Black Mamba knows the Little Tiger very well, and Ariza is very tough defensively.

As soon as the two united, the little tiger's flowing rhythm of ball control was interrupted instantly.

And his teammates have not been able to support the team's running, Monta does not like to pass the ball and will not pass, and Petrus's attacking power has not found the crosshair.

Mirisich was again disturbed by Pau Gasol.

Kwame Brown left the little tiger to feed the ball, and his autonomous attack ability was very weak.

"The Warriors' sore foot was finally trampled on by the Lakers. When the Tiger is blocked by the Black Mamba who knows him best, the other players are left to fight in a separate mess, and most importantly, none of them have the ability to make a final decision!" Earl Johnson said: "That's why more and more teams tend to build a team with two or three cores. ”

"There is only a black mamba in the world that can make the little tiger so embarrassed. Charles sighed, "This is a sad story. ”

The third quarter ended quickly, 72:70.

The Lakers overtook by 2 points.

On the bench, the little tiger looked around.

"The draft has to get a real point guard. ”

He said to himself urgently.

The real dilemma now is not the ability to score, but the fact that there is no one who can command the big picture.

Stephen Jackson came in second with Tigerie Lower, followed by Mirishitsch. Montaelis is almost at the bottom of the pack as a point guard, and while his assist stats are second only to Little Tiger, everyone knows what level of passing ability he is at.

In the past, in the hands of old Nelson, old Nelson did not pay much attention to passing and cutting coordination, his style of play was completely crazy, whoever took the ball attacked!

Such a madman play, either beat the opponent to the street, or be beaten by the opponent to the street.

"Run!"

Little Tiger sat on the bench and could only reluctantly announce the early arrival of the running and bombardment style.

He decided to let Randolph and Stephen Jackson rest for a few more minutes and accumulate strength to fight the Lakers to the death!

To be honest, he doesn't have any bottom in his heart now. In case this burst of running and bombing doesn't catch it, then... The game ended directly, and you didn't even have to go to the death struggle.

Drip!

The whistle blows and the game continues.

The Lakers replaced Pau Gasol with Andrew Bynum. Replaced Lamar Odom with Bryden Wright. Replaced Trevo Ariza and brought on Sasha Vuljacic. Replaced Derek Fisher with Jordan Famar.

At this time, their starting five are: Bynum, Brandon Wright, Kobe Bryant, Vujacic and Jordan Farmar.

This is equivalent to Kobe Bryant playing with a bench lineup.

On the other side, the Warriors made five substitutions: Milicic, Radmanovic, Michael Petrus, Montaeelis and Little Tiger.

The two sides have a very tacit understanding, and they both use the core main force to rotate the lineup.

Walking onto the court, Little Tiger had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and he realized that the Lakers seemed to want to do something different.

Really.

When the referee blows the whistle.

Jordan Farmar immediately rushed over with the basketball, and he quickly handed the ball to the Black Mamba.

The black mamba came straight into the penalty area with the ball, and the little tiger followed him, but he suddenly made a sudden stop, threw the basketball high into the sky, and Brandon Wright soared into the sky...... Rumble!

Score a smash slam!

"Run??"

Earl Johnson's eyes almost fell out: "The Lakers actually played run-and-run, and Phil Jackson will do the same??"

His uncanny representation of all TV viewers was something that everyone never expected.

Little Tiger looked sideways at Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson smiled at him.

Wily!!!
