Chapter 44: Two Hard Bones
"The Lakers showed super control of the restricted area tonight, Andrew Bynum seems to have been used by a Zen master to change a soul, and his focus is amazing." Earl Johnson commented on television.
"The Golden State Warriors looked a little ...... tonight It actually entered heads-up mode from the beginning. He kept getting into the paint, constantly breaking his opponent's ankle with speed and change of direction, and then sent the basketball into the hoop with incredible layups or fancy high throws! ”
Charles Barkley was surprised: "What the hell is going on? The Lakers don't play like the Lakers, and the Warriors don't play like the Warriors! ”
The match was beyond everyone's expectations.
If the change of the Lakers can be explained by 'shame is almost brave', what about the Warriors? Didn't they all rely on teams to win games before? Hasn't Little Tiger changed his style of play since he was injured? Why did he go back to heads-up rhythm?
The first quarter ended quickly.
32:35。
Both sides scored very well.
The Lakers, who were sitting at home, led by 3 points, and the Little Tiger scored 23 points in a single quarter.
"So, is Tiger heading for the scoring record?" Earl Johnson said incomprehensibly: "But, can his body support him to break through such a high intensity?" Can his ankle really withstand such frequent and rapid changes of direction? ”
He asked everyone's doubts, after all, the little tiger had been seriously injured, even if it recovered one hundred percent, the glass attribute must have increased. There's no need to fight so hard for a game.
Basketball fans are worried that they have experienced a period of time when the tiger cub was away from the court, and now they just want the tiger to be healthy and healthy.
"OK, the experiment was successful."
Little Tiger told his teammates and coach on the bench.
They all know why Little Tiger did what he did.
His eyes are no longer limited to the Lakers in front of him, his arrows have been aimed at Boston's North Shore Garden.
Playing against the Lakers, fighting for roster depth is the best way to do it.
And to fight with the Boston Celtics, you can only show bayonets and fight them hand-to-hand. LeBron James's way is actually right, but he has natural holes with his teammates in many details, so they lost.
However, Little Tiger thinks he can win!
……
The second quarter of the game began quickly.
The Lakers only made minor adjustments, replacing Derrick Fisher and Lamar Odom with Vujacic and Luke Wharton.
Phil Jackson has made up his mind tonight that he must the three main forces to the end. He has no way out, he can't afford to lose anymore!
Correspondingly, the Warriors are up and down!
Michael Petrus, Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson and Zach Randolph took to the court.
Although this lineup is not as tall as the Lakers on the inside, the average height does not fall too far behind.
The game begins.
Andrew Bynum asked for a basketball from Kobe Bryant, he stuck Zach Randolph and pulled away the singles with high spirits. In the first four games, he was miserable by Zach Randolph.
This time, he wanted to get face back.
Puff puff!
Three slams in a row, very decisive, he even forgot about Zach Randolph's small movements on the waist, which made Randolph very passive, after all, Bynum's height is much higher than his own.
Just as he was trying to bother the Shark's chassis a little more, Bynum suddenly turned around and shot straight into the basket...... Swish!
Basketball arrested!
The little shark roared excitedly, and the Staples Arena gave a resounding response!
Abdul-Jabbar, who was sitting in the second row of the bench, was smiling: this kid finally has a bit of a hook style.
Since Shark Jr. joined the Lakers at the age of seventeen, Abdul-Jabbar has served as his personal trainer. The Lakers have put their best resources on Bynum and are finally reaping some rewards.
This more or less diluted the fans' disappointment with the fire sale of Little Tiger!
Swish!
Soon, Randolph was back in color, and he hit an easy shot from 16 feet.
The little shark didn't dare to stretch his defense out at all.
He could only watch as Randolph hit the basket and then shook his fat and ran towards half court.
Randolph is the only star player under the Tigers, and his talent on the offensive end is no worse than Pau Gasol's, and his defensive rebounding ability is clearly underrated. Of course, the most important thing is ...... He is the league's No. 1 self-pitched and self-grabbing striker...... Some even suspect that he deliberately rebounds in the front court in the restricted area every game. He's always throwing himself and grabbing himself, and for that he'd rather shoot less than shoot less.
Swish!
Looking back, the little shark exploded again, hitting the small hook.
Then, Zach Randolph easily used his feet to squeeze out the space to create a foul on Bynum, and he made two free throws and two hits!
Randolph's performance made the Zen master's brow furrow, and he finally activated Bynum, but was gently and skillfully counteracted by Zach Randolph.
What to do?
In the case of his helplessness.
The battle is scorching forward.
Little Shark and Randolph have a relationship, and the two are fighting on both offensive and defensive ends. As a result, the little tiger and the black mamba have become spectators.
"It's not good for the Lakers if the game goes on like this."
Earl Johnson said from the commentary platform: "In the first quarter of the game, the Golden State Warriors only used Tiger, and they were on par with the Lakers. In the second quarter, the little tiger entered a half-rest state, allowing Randolph and Bynum to explode each other. ”
"The two sides are evenly matched, but the Warriors have significantly more cards. When the Warriors launched an onslaught in the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, how should the Lakers end? Will they repeat their previous two defeats at Oracle Arena in Auckland? ”
Earl Johnson wants the Lakers to hold up one more game.
T-NT is also thinking this way.
Because, they didn't get the first live broadcast rights of the Finals, and they didn't want ESPN and NBC to steal the limelight.
So, at this time, the longer the Western Conference Finals are played, the better it will be for them.
Drip!!
The second quarter ended quickly.
58:61。
The Lakers still only lead by three points.
When they walked into the players' tunnel, they all looked solemn. Phil Jackson stumbled a little.
He's ready for this game, but... A small tiger and Zach Randolph firmly controlled the game, and the Lakers simply had no way to create a wave of climaxes.
Far away in Boston, the Big Three sitting in front of the TV are in the same mood as Phil Jackson.
They were worried about the Golden State Warriors' performance tonight, as they had hoped it would be the Golden State Warriors to make it to the Finals.
But now, especially after watching the first quarter of the Little Tiger's game.
They would rather face the Los Angeles Lakers, even though the Lakers are also exceptionally strong!
But... Of the two hard bones, there is always one that is relatively easy to gnaw.
"The combination of Zach Randolph and Little Tiger is very restrained in our style of play." Kevin Garnett said honestly: "We are not afraid of the static style of play of the Lakers at all, no matter how strong their three-high lineup is, we have a way to deal with them." But... The combination of movement and stillness of the Golden State Warriors was terrifying, and my old bones couldn't withstand their impact at all. On top of that, they have a much higher morale than we do. That's a real bunch of bandits! ”
Tut!
Paul Pierce took a deep breath, he was very empathetic.
Every time I face Steve Jackson, Matt Barnes, and Petrus, there are always a lot of bruises on my body.
