Chapter 788: The tradition is good, but it's not right now

It's hard to find a chance at Oracle Arena, but Phil Jackson has made a bold change in his team's tactics.

Phil Jackson removed Artest this time and started Jordan Hill.

Jordan Hill is just a second-round pick, but his name sounds awesome. And he has been performing well, and he has played at a certain level as Howard's bench this season with the Lakers. At least, much higher than one might expect.

Twin towers!

The Lakers finally lined up a twin-tower lineup.

Some people have said before that Artest is slow, and he can't resist the Warriors' quick counterattacks. When the Warrior comes with speed, he's like a drag bottle. He has the advantage of defending power players, but now his pace is too slow.

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

Phil Jackson has his own concerns, it would be too risky to change the lineup twice, and if he loses, he will have to carry the cauldron. The main thing is the risk of backstabbing.

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

The Warriors really didn't expect the Lakers to really play with twin towers in this game, and the Warriors did not change the starting lineup of their small lineup. When the Lakers handed in their starting lineup two hours ago, they weren't the same starters.

Timothy Glenn thinks the Zen Master is trying to hide their starting lineup, when in fact the Zen Master himself is quite entangled.

When people get older, their personalities change. The Zen master has become a little indecisive now, always trying to maintain his own image, his own record. In fact, when he was swept by the Mavericks the last season he left the Lakers, many felt that the myth of the Zen master was shattered. I even feel that the Zen master is a superstar nanny, and when the superstar can't do it, he can't do it.

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

The Lakers who attacked the Twin Towers started the game relatively smoothly, Chris Paul kept giving the ball inside, and the Lakers also earned a good start with the Twin Towers.

A 9-3 start was pretty good for the Lakers.

The Zen master was nervous, he didn't have the usual calmness, and he got up from the coach's seat at least three times in the first two minutes of today's game.

The Warriors didn't call a timeout, and they didn't make any substitutions.

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

When the Lakers slow down to the slowest speed, the Warriors naturally want to speed them up a little more.

"It's an end of mutual restraint. Barkley said, "Let's see who can do more harm to the other side." ”

Although Artest is slow on his feet, he still has an advantage over Jordan Hill in terms of positioning. Jordan Hill is big and harder to get around or squeeze through when he hits cover.

The Warriors turned on the faster mode, and Chen Mo smashed the ball directly to Curry who was at the front of the rush in the middle of the march.

Curry used the tempo to pull back to shoot from beyond the three-point line.

Curry forced a three-point shot against Paul.

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

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

The Warriors have turned the score around and now they lead the Lakers 15-14.

The Warriors started the game with 12 points from beyond the three-point line.

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

"That's the strength of the Golden State Warriors. They have scored only five goals, but they have scored more than the Los Angeles Lakers have scored seven. Smith said with emotion: "Maybe that famous saying will be changed, and it should be changed in the future - whoever gets the three-point line wins the world." ”

Smith's sentiment was not wrong, and the Warriors, who accelerated the counterattack and increased the blow from beyond the three-point line, did take the initiative on the court. But a lot of people don't accept it, it's some people who like to stick to old traditions. It cannot be said that the old idea that "those who have an inside line win 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, who is the "weakest first center" alone, can't handle the small-ball storm.

The Zen master whistled twice, but to no avail. The Lakers can't get back up the pace, and their defense can't expand.

The inside line can't play explosive dominance.

If the Lakers' starting center is O'Neal now, O'Fat can destroy the Warriors' interior line into powder, and even fragments can't be left.

The Warriors could only block with fouls, allowing O'Neal to smash the basket at the free throw line.

But now, against Howard, the Warriors don't need to be in such trouble.

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

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

51-67, with the visitors in front of the home team behind, the Lakers' chances of seeking a chance at Oracle Arena have been reduced to the extreme.

The low air pressure in the away dressing room did not change at all, and no one spoke.

Kobe Bryant didn't even change his clothes, nor did he wipe his sweat with a towel. He let the sweat collect on his chin and drip onto the carpet.

The Zen master didn't speak, he didn't have a story in his head that suited the situation, and he didn't know how to adjust tactically. The Zen master still had a strategy in mind to deal with the Warriors, but now he has a roster that can't make such adjustments.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this is the case with the Zen master now.

"Phil, what do you think we're going to do next? Bryant asked.

The Zen master was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to take out the defense, rebounding, and shooting rate that he had emphasized N times again.

As soon as the Zen master spoke, Kobe interrupted him. "If there's nothing new, don't talk about it. ”

Kobe Bryant hasn't scolded a Zen master like this for a long time, and since he returned to the Lakers for the second time, Kobe hasn't scolded him like this.

After another half of the day, Kobe Bryant changed his clothes, stood up and carefully checked the equipment on his body, and wiped his newly changed sneakers with wet wipes. Only then did he say slowly but firmly: "In the second half, give me the ball!"

The Black Mamba is about to start performing, and in fact, now the Los Angeles Lakers can pin their hopes on 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 always changes a pair of shoes at halftime, and sometimes he mixes and matches. Under Armour is now capturing Chen Mo, which is to seize the whole world, so they are willing to smash all their resources on Chen Mo.

Usually only the best stars will change a pair of shoes at half-time. The shoes are designed in strict accordance with the foot mold of the star, so there is no problem with running-in.

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

According to Chen Mo's prediction, Kobe Bryant can't break this ball. However, there are sometimes errors in prediction, Chen Mo calculates conventional data, and the explosion of human potential is not included in conventional data.

Broken ball, a dragon, a violent dunk!

Kobe Bryant bared his teeth, and there was a fierce posture all over his body.

"The Black Mamba is hunting. Barkley said.

"Hopefully he can overcome his prey. Smith said.

T-NT definitely want the game to continue, preferably to a tie-break.

In fact, in addition to the players who play the game, everyone in the world wants the game to be tied for seven.

Teams and leagues can make more money, and fans can have a good time.

Kobe Bryant began a crazy output, and driven by Kobe, Paul's output efficiency also improved.

Chen Mo teased, "Your crazy output under Kobe's crotch is a bit cool!"

The Warriors caught Kobe Bryant, and Kobe's consecutive difficult jump shots have touched the Warriors' red line. Prior to this, the Warriors had never pinched Kobe, and the Warriors did not pinch Kobe Bryant in the first game in which he scored 51 points. After that, though, the Warriors set a strategy to wrap up Kobe Bryant as soon as he broke out.

When Paul was caught in the Warriors' attack on Kobe, several offensive scores were very smooth.

Chen Mo will definitely not find a way to defend, in this case they keep their defensive strategy unchanged, and then there are two words - offense!

The Warriors are faster.

Bryant hit another step-back jumper with a large elevation angle. The step-back jumper got the visitors in applause.

But the Warriors didn't have any delay, and Bidrins quickly served to the baseline. The ball was very big, and Chen Mo almost caught the ball in the half. Fast serving is also a strategy for the Warriors, and if the center can't keep up, the center doesn't need to participate in the first wave of offense, and their high-frequency running can solve the first wave of offense.

Curry and Kirilenko covered without the ball, and Millsap cut out to make a second wave of covers for Chen Mo. Chen Mo passed the ball with his hand, and then he and Curry met at the free throw line, and Chen Mo covered Curry. Curry ran to the baseline, Chen Mo cut to the basket, and Millsap followed the space separated by Chen Mo and Curry and put the ball into the basket.

Chen Mo received the ball and made a layup, Howard jumped up to block, Chen Mo flicked his wrist, and the ball wiped the board.

6 seconds!

The attack took the Warriors a total of 6 seconds.

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

Biedrins had just run to the edge of the three-point line and was back on his way back to defense.

He's running back and forth, but at this point Biedrins wants to run back and forth every time he attacks, which shows that his team can score all the time.

Howard stepped forward and covered for Kobe.

The Lakers also formulated a strategy for Kobe Bryant to position and cover, Kobe Bryant's footwork is strong, and his ability to get rid of shots on the spot is also very strong.

"Whew!" Kobe Bryant's mid-range shot went back in.

The difference is 11 points.

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

The game moved forward at this pace, and it was very much like a huge moat, and the Lakers couldn't step over it anyway.

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

Bryant missed two jump shots in a row, and the Warriors successfully set off a storm of counterattacks.

Jackson played a long-range pass to Barnes, which had a bit of a tricky touch, and Barnes sprinted to the basket before completing a tough layup. He had no fear in the face of Paul. Although Paul loved it, if it had been Barnes before, he might have been scared in his heart. Now, he is not afraid at all.

In fact, as Qianzhi Donkey said, tigers are scared when they first see donkeys, which is the nature of animals.

People are also like this, for a stranger 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 confidence before, but now that he has, the result is different.

Then, there was another chance for the Warriors to fight back.

Kirilenko found space in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer.

The Lakers' retreat is even slower, and they're like a big ship with holes, leaking everywhere.

"Mamba...... I'm tired!" Barkley said.

The Lakers are still holding on, and although the point difference is once again showing a tendency to widen, they have not given up.

In the sixth minute of the final quarter of the game, Chen Mo returned to the game. With a 17-point difference between the two sides, the Lakers have no chances.

Kobe Bryant is still fighting, still stubborn. He really didn't accept it, really didn't accept it......

Kobe Bryant faced Chen Mo and waved away, seeking a single.

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

Bryant pushed forward twice, then turned around with a deceptive footwork, and then he turned around and made a jumper.

The ball goes into the basket.

Kobe Bryant pointed at Chen Mo and then at himself.

50 minutes.

It's 50 points again.

Although he hit 16 of his 37 shots, the shooting percentage can only be regarded as mediocre.

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

The Zen master was standing on the sidelines, and he knew that the tide was over tonight.

Chen Mo faced Kobe Bryant and Paul's sandwich attack and played 2+1.

The free throw was scored, and Chen Mo almost helped the game to close the coffin.

"A free throw to kill the game. Barkley said.

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

Bryant caused Chen Mo's foul.

Bryant stepped to the free-throw line, and he breathed heavily. Chen Mo walked past him, and he could feel Kobe's body trembling. Kobe Bryant has reached his limit.

The unexpected happened, and when Kobe Bryant was preparing to make a free throw, the Oracle Arena rang out with MVP shouts.

“MVP

”

The shouts grew louder and louder.

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

In the Oracle Arena, all the players on the field, except for Chen Mo, no one has enjoyed this treatment.

Bryant scored two free throws and was then substituted. The Zen master replaced all the substitute players, and Kobe Bryant was very disappointed, but when he hugged the Zen master, he whispered, "Come back next year!" 9110
