Chapter 159: The Abacus Fails
Pat Riley's gloomy eyes looked at Woshan Leonard, who had just been fouled twice in a row by Kobe Bryant and knocked off the court.
Wozen-Leonard couldn't help but shudder and muttered, "Coach, I don't know what's going on, why did I reach out for some reason?" ”
"You've disrupted my whole setup." Pat Riley's words were chilling, and the iron-blooded head coach has never been a gentle man for his players. In his opinion, players are just pawns in their hands, and if the chess pieces are weak, they should be eliminated, and if the chess pieces are wrong, they should be discarded.
"Coach, I'm sorry." Woshan-Leonard bowed his head, and despite being 26 years old, he was as humble as a high school student in front of Pat Riley. He was a player who was discovered by Pat Riley, and if he hadn't had the magic operator, he would have gone to play in Europe long ago.
Pat Riley snorted, and his eyes were drawn to Kobe Bryant on the court again.
The Heat lost a lot of good bench players to the Mourning and Tim Hardaway trades, and after Woshan Leonard went off, Pat Riley was replaced by Sasha Danilovic. Also a white pitcher! A 1.96-meter-tall shooting guard who averaged 11.3 points per game during the season.
Such a defense is no better than that of Vochan Leonard!
Sheep in the mouth of the tiger!
Kobe Bryant interprets this word with his performance on the court!
The average star, when he leaves the penalty area to attack, his score will be affected to a greater or lesser extent. Scoring in the box is a very important way for stars to score, because it is the most efficient and lethal way to attack.
And Kobe Bryant is different! Bryant faced Sasha Danilovic from mid-range and he felt like he was completely on shooting practice!
Break through two steps to reach the middle distance, and then hit consecutive shots with historical mid-range shooting skills!
"Isn't this back-up really Jordan wearing the No. 8 jersey?" Jim Fagan was stunned by Bryant's back-to-back mid-range offense, and for the first time he'd seen a player other than Jordan use a step-back jumper to this extent.
"Picturesque! I can't find any other way to describe it! The number one magician sighed even more.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Miami Heat 11:16 Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 11 points alone!
Official Pause!
Pat Riley on the sidelines had a grim face, didn't say a word, and stared straight at every player in the Heat. And all the Heat players didn't dare to look at him, and everywhere they looked, all the arrogant players lowered their heads to avoid Pat Riley's gaze.
"Coach, do you want to adjust your defensive strategy?" Tim Hardaway scored four points and two assists and was arguably the best player for the Heat. He was a little worried that if Kobe Bryant continued to play like this, the team would not be able to stop the bleeding.
"Nope! Just go as planned! Despite Bryant's demands from mid-range, Pat Riley was reluctant to let go of his defense against O'Neal. In this half quarter, O'Neal was 0 of 2, his presence was thin, and he perfectly achieved the defensive effect he wanted.
On the offensive end, the Heat came out of Mourning, and it didn't open! Tim Hardaway still let the Heat's offensive tactics go on track.
Kobe's spoiler was an accident! Pat Riley firmly believes this!
Pat Riley admits he has an element of gambling!
You're just a rookie, how long can you keep that feel?
A section? Two sections? When your physical fitness declines and your hand feels cold, this kind of cancer play is the biggest weakness of the Lakers!
“KOBE! KOBE! KOBE! Bryant's scoring streak made the Great Western Forum Arena thunderous, and the fans began to sing the song of Kobe that didn't fall into tune.
The Lakers' bench also high-fived the starters who came off the court.
"Well done!" O'Neal rubbed Kobe's bald head with his big hand, and Kobe Bryant vented his anger for him. In the Magic, once O'Neal is blocked like this, the team will inevitably lose the chance to win. Several playoff sweeps have been like this.
And now, with Kobe Bryant by his side, it seems that everything is different!
"If you don't win, don't float." Kobe Bryant said seriously, I didn't let you wave when I took the lead, and if the Heat's blockade is not lifted, I won't feed O'Neal a ball!
The game continues! After the Lakers' offense turned on Bryant, Eddie Jones also began to contribute. The Heat's two-tower lineup, a little slow to retreat, was seized by Eddie Jones to counterattack.
Mourning's attack is limited by O'Neal!
O'Neill thought to himself! Hey! You won't let me attack! I'm not going to attack! I'm putting all my strength on defense!
Fifth center Mourning has a bit of a headache, he really can't beat O'Neal, no matter the back, down, face frame. Several attacks were pushed away by O'Neal with strength, and there was no way to shoot smoothly.
The physical fitness was crushed, and such a crushing in all aspects made Mo Ning completely unable to find a way to score.
"Dead fatty, there are two points!" Since you can't beat it, then attack the heart! Don't look at Mo Ning's thick eyebrows and big eyes, he also has a mouthful of trash talk.
"Oh, little man. There's a kind of single defense against me! O'Neill smiled slightly, and the disdainful look in his eyes made Mo Ning angry.
Kobe Bryant watched O'Neal and Mourning, who were going back and forth and competing with each other, a little worried. If a casual fight starts, O'Neill is only afraid that he is not Mo Ning's opponent, the tough guy's fists are still very hard, and even the gorilla Ewing has been cleaned up by him.
The game was advanced under the tactical concept of the two sides where the Lakers gave up the penalty area to score and the Heat defended the restricted area.
Kobe Bryant scores in a row in the middle distance! This season has never been so easy to score!
It's very cool! 23 points have been scored in the first half! This is the easiest game he has played this season, the defensive attention is all attracted by O'Neal, he has to score more points The opponent's defensive strategy will not change, and the opposing player is his favorite type!
To sum it up! It's just one word: comfortable!
Mourning was limited, and Tim Hardaway stepped up to take over the offensive reins of the Heat. He has a natural misalignment advantage, and the probability of success in breaking through Kobe's defense is about 5 percent!
3 out of 10 chance to lose position, leaving room to attack! 2 percent chance of being cleaned!
After the break, although Bryant had a chance to interfere with the shot, Tim Hardaway had a very good shooting touch today. Under Kobe's interference, he still hit again and again!
Tim Hardaway's breakaway was a real hit, combined with excellent projection and playmaking, and he also took over the game when Mourning couldn't score. In the face of Kobe's defense, he naturally had a mismatch advantage, and he scored 13 points and 5 assists on 5-of-11 shooting in the half.
Redeem the child!
It's equivalent to Mourning and O'Neill exchanging sons with each other!
Kobe Bryant and Hardaway swapped each other!
And the score, with Kobe's higher shooting efficiency, the Lakers achieved a score advantage and firmly controlled the direction of the game in the first half!
At halftime, the Miami Heat 50:57 Los Angeles Lakers.
God's calculation has failed!
