Chapter 54: 07 Christmas War (6)
After the end of the third quarter, Joe took a few sips of water on the bench and didn't say a word, just quietly recovering his body, and his current body has reached a low point. You must know that today Qiao politely opened the "Platinum Star" skill 3 times, if it weren't for the passive recovery of the body, it is estimated that Qiao would have been lying directly on the floor.
It was also today that Qiao realized that not all scoring masters can score 81 points, even if they want to score high scores with unlimited shots, in addition to looking at the ability, shooting feel, and body, they must also have the perseverance and determination to be shocked.
The Lakers' defensive intensity in the second half of the third quarter was much stronger, no, it should be said that it was the defensive intensity of Joe. There are 3 people at every turn. Joe relied on the help of his teammates to flash out of the air under strict defense, and it was too difficult to make a strong shot. If a teammate has an open space on the side and doesn't pass the ball, Joe himself feels awkward, and that feeling is uncomfortable. Maybe only if you never score too much, and you don't want to pass at all, you can shoot non-stop. Thinking of this, Joe really admires Kobe Bryant, alone, it is also a kind of realm.
By now, Joe is starting to feel tired of shooting, and it's no wonder that Maddie will go off the court after reaching a high score, and shooting is also a hard job. The more Joe thought about it, the more he admired Kobe.
Speaking of Kobe, he also scored 32 points today, if it weren't for the 28 points in the first two quarters, it is estimated that the score would not have broken 30. In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant basically didn't shoot, more about passing and defending Joe, and he also had a few beautiful outside passes and inside assists today. Joe felt that he and Kobe Bryant had a soul swap today, and the two of them were playing very abnormally.
Rivers patted Joe on the shoulder and said, "Tired? ”
Joe nodded and said, "A little, they've been wrapping me up, coach, shouldn't I start passing, play in the normal way, and then shoot after the score is ahead?" ”
If you want to break the bag, there is really no better way than passing, Joe's current style of play is unreasonable, if it continues like this, this game may be lost, Joe scored so many points and lost, it's so ironic.
Rivers smiled and said, "Okay, you decide, we all know that today you are the main character." With you as the center, they fight to attack, and you relax to play. ”
"Well, got it, coach."
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Joe drank a bottle of vitality potion again, and the last time he drew the potion was the vitality potion. I have to say that this potion is really easy to use, and there is a good chance of winning. A large part of the game is watched by the players.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rivers changed tactics to replace Tony Allen, and Ray Allen came on. And Joe came to the small forward position, and Pierce played shooting guard. The big 3 have all taken turns to rest, and they are basically playing soy sauce today, and their bodies are very abundant. And Perkins was happy that he grabbed 12 rebounds today, and it was just the beginning of the fourth quarter. It looks like he's going to break his rebounding record today.
And the Lakers are still wishful thinking and multi-player bag Joe. However, this time Joe did not take the initiative to attack, but began to pass, using himself to attract the bag and then pass to the open space. And the Lakers' offense also began to decline, and several consecutive offenses were missed. The Celtics pulled the score away and now the score is 90-77. The Celtics began to play a combination of tactics and beat the Lakers 9-0.
The Lakers only realized at this time that the Celtics had changed their tactics, and if they continued to contain Joe, Joe would not continue to play as crazy singles as he did in the first two quarters, and now he began to form a cooperation with his teammates.
Seeing that his teammates suddenly withered, Kobe Bryant could only shoot himself and hit a step-back jumper to break the scoring drought. 90:79
The Celtics had the ball, Joe went to the right side of the low post to ask for the ball, Ray Allen handed it to Pierce, and Pierce hung it to Joe. As soon as Kobe Bryant saw Joe get the ball, he immediately helped Odom to wrap Joe, Joe was happy when he saw this scene, and quickly passed the ball out, and Ray Allen moved to a 50-degree angle after receiving the ball and hit a three-point jumper 93-19
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant didn't rely on the block, singled Ray Allen, turned his back and broke through to make a layup, 93-81.
Joe hoisted the ball into the inside in the bottom corner on the right side. Garnett received the ball and took it out, Gasol Gasol stepped forward to defend, and Garnett played Gasol Gasol with his individual ability. 95:81。
The biggest attraction of this game is whether Joe can record Kobe's 81 points, and at this time Joe actually passed the ball, and he didn't care about the score if he let the whole team bloom now. The crowd was not happy anymore, and now they cheered whenever Joe caught the ball, and they booed as soon as Joe passed the ball. made Joe wonder, Lakers fans are so weird, why do you see me breaking Kobe's record like this now. What kind of heart do you have?
The fans can not be happy, and Phil Jackson is even less happy. What he fears most is that the Celtics start playing team basketball. If Joe fights for fear of the record and goes all out, the Lakers can boldly wrap up, so there is still a possibility of winning, and now as soon as he passes, he disrupts the Lakers' defensive arrangement, whether to choose to pack Joe or defend others.
Fisher passed, Kobe Bryant ran back and shook off Pierce, and as soon as he received the ball, he immediately shot, and he had already seen Joe come over to make up for it. It's a pity that this ball is iron.
Joe singled Odom with the ball, and this time there was no one to wrap it up. They were all frightened by Joe's capriciousness, afraid that as soon as they left their positions, they would be empty.
Joe stepped back and took the ball with both hands and quickly raised, Odom jumped with all his strength to block, but Joe did not jump, and after shaking Odom to come, he jumped head-on and collided with Odom to foul.
Joe hit both free throws 97-81 to score his 65th point, and the fans immediately cheered. Damn, whose home ground is this? How can Joe still cheer when he scores.
After a round of passes, the ball went to Fisher, who threw a 3-pointer. Ray Allen's hard defense, Fisher's 3-point jumper missed, and Fisher's hand was not very good today, and he had already missed 3 3-point shots. Perkins happily took the rebound.
Perkins gave the ball to Ray Allen, who dribbled across half court and passed it to Joe. After receiving the ball, Joe dribbled twice with Odom on his back, no one came up to wrap the clip, he was immediately relieved to move the ball outward, the face frame opened the distance, two consecutive crotch dribbles, the first move to the right, the second ball to the left hand back to open the distance, dodge Odom block, 45 degree angle 3-point pull-up jump shot, 100:81, personal score reached 68 points!!
The Lakers were in a dilemma, with Joe passing and Joe single, and Phil Jackson asked for a timeout.
Phil Jackson gathered the players together and made a decision, "Wrap Joe, don't let him score again, it's not the key to win this game or not, the task now is not to let him score more than 70 points in this game, and leave the others alone." I don't think you want to see someone who has stepped on a record-breaking stone. Saying that, Phil Jackson looked at Kobe, and this sentence was obviously for Kobe.
Even if you lose, you have to hold on to your face, that's what Phil Jackson thinks. Of course, Kobe Bryant thought so, too.
The game restarted, Kobe Bryant broke through the ball, Bynum hit Perkins in the low post, and hit a turnaround jumper, 100:83.
On the defensive end, Odom was close to Joe in the low post, making it difficult for Joe to turn around, Kobe Bryant stepped forward to wrap Joe, and it was very unwise to play strongly at this time, Joe chose to pass, and Pierce hit a high shot to 102-83.
Lakers frontcourt Pau Gasol blocked and covered Fisher, Fisher distributed the ball to Pau Gasol, and Pau Gasol hoisted the ball inside to Bynum. Bynum singled Perkins to dribble down the middle, turned and hooked, the ball didn't go in, and Garnett grabbed the rebound.
Next, the Lakers resolutely took a trap on Joe, and the others got a lot of shots, and it seemed that they were going to give up the game and try their best to prevent Joe from breaking Kobe's record.
With five minutes left in the game, Joe was 13 points shy of his 81-point record. Seeing the defensive state of the Lakers, it seems that it is very difficult for Joe to break Kobe's record.
System Prompt: The entire Lakers team gets the "Record Finisher" buff. When all players face the protagonist, the "Defensive Iron Gate" rises by 5 points. Lakers players cannot activate skills during this time period.
It's really worse, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant can't turn on the skill.
While Rivers called a timeout, Joe also began to think of a way to crack it. There is only one way to break the record, and that is to shoot 3 points. And if you want Stephen Curry to shoot super fast, before the Lakers form a bag, you have to shoot.
Barkley was already so excited that he couldn't do it, "With 5 minutes to go and 13 points to go, can Jojo break the record?" Come on JOJO!! ”
