Chapter 56: AK47's Entanglement
Smith was relatively neutral, "The Lakers didn't play well in the first quarter, giving the Jazz too many easy scoring opportunities on the offensive end, and when he was attacking, Kobe Bryant began to do it alone again, he ignored Li Du, ignored Odom, and I even felt that he ignored all his teammates!" If Kobe Bryant doesn't change that, the Lakers are in danger today! ”
The Magic sighed, but still said a little stiffly: "Kobe Bryant can't be blamed for falling behind in the score, he has worked hard enough, and he is doing what a team leader should do!" Today, the Lakers are not only Kobe, many people are out of shape. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the direct reason why the Lakers fell behind by 8 points in the first quarter! ”
Barkley also kept shaking his head and said: "Anyway, now the Lakers are 8 points behind the Jazz in the first quarter, and today Phil lost Sloan in the first quarter of the first quarter!" ”
Ma Long also accepted it when he saw it, he analyzed: "I watched the Lakers' previous games, in those games, Li Du played a very important role on the defensive end, but today he was placed in the small forward position, against Kirilenko. The Russians themselves are not a main point of attack in the Jazz team, and even if Li Du prevents him from scoring a point, it will not have much impact on the situation of the entire team! ”
The magician also analyzed: "Phil has no choice but to do it." If Li Du is allowed to defend Delong, it can indeed limit Delong's scoring, but once DeLong wholeheartedly organizes the team's offense, with a team like the Jazz where everyone can take the initiative to attack, the defensive pressure on the rest of the Lakers will inevitably increase greatly! And the Lakers have very few people at the small forward position, if Li Du goes to defend Delon, what about the other outside players? ”
Smith nodded in agreement, "Phil has already minimized the damage, and it can be regarded as well-intentioned. But the next thing the Lakers have to solve is the offensive problem! If Kobe Bryant continues to play like this, regardless of the outcome of this game, his physical strength and shooting rate will be reduced for the time being! ”
Kobe Bryant obviously thought of the problems mentioned by several commentators, in fact, it is not that he has no other teammates today, but that the Jazz team's defense today is very targeted!
Delong won't have any problems defending Fisher, Boozer doesn't suffer at all against Odom, and Lidu is closely followed by Kirilenko all the way and has little chance. What's more, Li Du didn't seem to run out of the vacancy much today, and even if Kobe Bryant wanted to pass the ball to Li Du, he didn't have a chance!
Kobe felt that it was other people who had no opportunity to attack, so he had to choose to go it alone, but others felt that the momentum of Kobe Bryant as soon as he came on the court today was to score by himself, so everyone simply stood and watched Kobe play.
This is a misunderstanding between teammates! Originally, this kind of misunderstanding could be explained in a few words with a simple exchange, but in this energy center, which is filled with the shouts and shouts of fans like a tsunami at all times, communication has become extremely difficult!
And Kobe's character, he disdains to take the initiative to ask everyone to run. If you work hard and you want to win, then you run! If you don't want to work hard, then forget it, I can do it myself! That's what Kobe Bryant thinks.
looked at Li Du who was standing on the sidelines, and in the entire Lakers team, Kobe Bryant may be the most satisfied and appreciative of Li Du. And Li Du is still a rookie, he makes mistakes, as long as it is not a big problem, Kobe Bryant is still more tolerant.
So Kobe Bryant stepped forward to look at it and said loudly in Li Du's ear: "Li, what's wrong with you today?" I don't think I'm trying my best! ”
Li Du retracted the momentum, and then returned to Kobe Bryant and said: "Boss, it's not that I didn't do my best, but the Russian I defended really didn't attack!" ”
Kobe Bryant shook his head, Li Du's voice was almost muffled by the voices of the surrounding fans, and after Li Du didn't say it again, Kobe Bryant heard it, and then he said to Li Du: "It's okay, after you go up later, you can just do the same on the defensive end." When attacking, you try to run and I'll try to find space to pass the ball to you! ”
Li Du nodded, Kobe's words he has always been very convinced. What's more, Kobe Bryant is still kind to him!
Just over 3 minutes into the second quarter, the scores of the two teams had become 35-23, and the Lakers were already trailing by a full 12 points! If the score gap is widened again, and there is still the opponent's home field, it will be almost impossible to chase it back!
So the Zen master had to change the main force back to the field in advance.
Sloan's side was even more imperative for this game, the main players had enough time to rest in the first quarter, and he replaced the main players not long after the second quarter began.
After Li Du came on the field, Kirilenko was beside Li Du and said to Li Du contemptuously: "People call you a magical rookie, but I don't see anything magical." It's just a rookie, amazing, not necessarily! ”
Kirilenko was originally Russian, English is not his mother tongue, and he is not like Li Du who grew up in the United States and is extremely familiar with English, so when he is generally defending others, he rarely provokes the other party, let alone trash-talk.
Maybe it was Li Du's performance that almost disappeared in the first quarter that made him disdain Li Du in his heart, or maybe it was the media that made Li Du unhappy, so he began to provoke Li Du for the first time.
Li Du also knows that many NBA players will trash talk and provoke each other during the game, but the opponents he has met before are either gentle and humble and gentlemanly, such as Nash and Ray Allen; Or he made him scared of him early on, and didn't dare to say more, such as Lewis, Davis, and Baniani.
Kobe Bryant has reminded Li Du more than once that in the face of provocation, whether it is verbal, physical, or in the game, as long as the opponent provokes, he must fight back strongly to show his toughness!
Moreover, Li Du himself is a person who practices martial arts, and in the face of provocation, he will not give in half a step! So Li Du sneered, looked at Kirilenko and said, "You are very bold, you dare to provoke me directly!" You should be glad that you have very little offensive power in the Jazz, otherwise, I will show you what despair is! ”
Without waiting for Kirilenko to speak, Li Du slowly ran forward, and Kirilenko cursed secretly, so he had to hurry up. At this time, he heard Li Du's voice drift into his ears, "But on the offensive end, I will also teach you a profound lesson, Russian!" ”
didn't give Kirilenko a chance to speak again, as soon as Li Du landed in his position, when Kirilenko followed him to the bottom corner, Li Du suddenly began to speed up, and ran over to Kwame Brown, who was standing on the edge of the penalty area.
Although Kwame Brown is not very psychological, he is physically strong, and Li Du has played without ball cover with him in previous games.
Kirilenko hurriedly followed the defense, and when he saw that he was about to be blocked by Kwame Brown, he also had his own way. Li Du ran from the bottom line with the help of Kwame Brown's cover to the outside, and Kirilenko saw that his line with the defense was blocked by Kwame Brown, so he no longer followed the bottom line, but went around the line to chase the defense.
Although it seems that Li Du has gotten away from Kirilenko a long way ago, Kirilenko is actually blocking Li Du's receiving route, and if Kobe passes the ball to Li Du at this time, he will be 100% cut off!
