Chapter 413: Sweep! Sweep the supersonic!
"Guys, since Kobe's words have been released, let's settle this battle in Seattle." At his hotel in Seattle, Harris held his final team meeting before G4.
Originally, Harris's plan was to play a supersonic game to prevent them from jumping over the wall, if they were swept at home, there was a high probability that there would be some accidents on or off the court, and the Lakers, who had already secured the Western Conference finals, did not need to fight with the superSonics for this game.
Let the water lose a game, and let the supersonic vent this grievance. Then go back to Los Angeles to relax and wait, have the right time and place, and then easily accept the victory, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch the Jazz and Houston kill each other, wouldn't it be perfect.
Kobe Bryant is still too young, that's how Harris feels. He has also coached a lot of unruly players, and the more talented the newcomers, the more they have all kinds of problems. Kobe Bryant is already relatively good at coaching.
"That's right, win this one!" O'Neill is so excited to make it to the division finals! The images of being swept by the Bulls and Michael Jordan in the Eastern Conference Finals last year are still in sight, and they are now able to sweep others.
"Sweep! It is useless for anyone to say, to persuade anyone! "The thought of being swept by Jordan and the painful memories of being swept by Olajuwon made O'Neal very unhappy. This time I finally have the opportunity to sweep others, and then go to the division finals to get revenge on Olajuwon, and finally beat the Bulls again in the finals, the perfect script!
O'Neal's desire for a 4:0 supersonic may be even hotter than Kobe's.
"That's right, if you win this one, those guys don't have to go to Los Angeles."
...
"Coach, Camp hasn't come to the gym yet." The assistant coach of the SuperSonics was sweating profusely, and in the team's last training game before the game against the Lakers, the team's second leader actually lost contact, and neither the phone nor his agent knew where he went.
"Fack, doesn't anyone know where this guy went?" George Carr was furious, Camp usually played this kind of disappearance during the long season of the regular season, but when is it? The team is almost eliminated, and it is simply a challenge to the authority of the coach to disappear and not prepare for the game.
It's so unprofessional! Kemp's professionalism was unacceptable to George Carr.
Payton watched from the sidelines, neither saying what Kemp was doing or telling the coach where he was.
"Inform management, you have to tell them about it." George Carr gave an ultimatum directly.
Without Sean Kemp, all the tactics of the supersonic cannot be practiced, whether it is offensive or defensive, it can be said that Kemp is an indispensable link of the superSound.
The supersonic training eventually broke up, the players were preoccupied, George Carr was furious, everyone watched the tape together, and announced the disbandment.
Tomorrow, let's see the real thing in the official arena.
George Carr sighed that it was time for this team to make a change.
...
"Seattle SuperSonics are not quite right today." Nelson sat behind the Lakers' bench and saw the mental outlook of the supersonic players very intuitively.
Peyton is led by a scrappy spirit, and he and Hawkins are one of the few players on the SuperSonics who still have a fighting spirit, or their fighting spirit and momentum are better than before.
And both Kemp and white pitcher Schramford looked a little out of spirits. Especially the rain man Sean Kemp, his teammates deliberately kept their distance from him.
George Carr's brows were tightly locked, and he completely lost the demeanor of the famous coach who scolded Fang Qiu in the finals.
The counterpart to the supersonic is the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal were in good spirits, with the OK combination taking the lead, and the other players also looked calm and calm. They have four match points in their hands, even rookies with poor psychological quality, such as Xiaoyu, are not panicking at all now, and even some want to live.
How do you lose with four match points?
How do you lose an OK combination?
Now the mentality of the Lakers players is to play this game well, sweep the SuperSonics directly, and then return to Los Angeles to prepare for the next round.
Nelson looked at the two teams with very different mentalities and felt that this series really ended here.
"Kobe's vision is still accurate, but my vision is even more accurate!" Thinking of the soaring box office of the movie, Nelson couldn't help but laugh. In the case that everyone is not optimistic, Nelson helped Kobe Bryant complete the production of this movie, which is also a lot of benefits for him as an actor. No actor can make a movie for a lifetime, and transforming into a producer or director is the best place for Nielsen, and this experience as a producer has undoubtedly opened a new door for Nielsen.
"The big picture is decided, let's enjoy the game. WAITER SERVE ME TWO BEERS! ”
...
The series between the Lakers and the SuperSonics has finally come to an end.
In the first quarter, the SuperSonics offense was ferocious, and Payton found a way to target Kobe's weaknesses - the lack of strength and confrontation. He and Hawkins took turns attacking, Payton sat in the low post, didn't do too much movement, just turned around, carried Kobe Bryant with one hand, and completed the small throw with the other.
This offensive approach isn't what Payton does best, but it's surprisingly efficient. Kobe Bryant's explosiveness has now risen, but the static power is still inferior in the face of Payton.
Payton and Hawkins played well, but the Lakers on the other side played more ferociously.
Bryant broke through O'Neal in a row, and O'Neal scored easily in the penalty area.
"Hey, this guy, why don't you resist much?" O'Neill is a little strange, camp is a lot smaller today.
Eddie Jones finally found his form in this game, he caught Kobe's pass in the opening game and completed the three-point *** Hawkins, Eddie Jones' height advantage and his athletic advantage finally showed.
Bryant played with ease, dished out six assists in the first quarter, and his teammates blossomed across the board, which allowed Bryant to focus on playmaking on the offensive end.
Payton returned to the court after just three minutes of rest in the second quarter, and Bryant simply returned to the court.
The two men faced off against each other with a bench lineup, and Bryant faced Payton and McMillan again.
If this defensive combination is at its peak, Kobe Bryant is not confident that he will be able to break through. But McMillan is old after all, and his movement speed has become a breakthrough for Kobe, who repeatedly cut through the bag between Payton and McMillan to complete the score.
At halftime, the Lakers were 63:51 supersonics, and the score was already open.
In the third quarter, George Karl replaced all the main players and fought desperately, and Bryant continued to stand up and hit the response ball, and the game was deadlocked.
In the fourth quarter, Bryant found an opportunity and rode directly to Kemp's head, helping O'Neal avenge with an arrow, and in the end, this death dunk also became the last straw that overwhelmed the supersonics.
The Lakers 110:98 supersonic, the road ended the series.
4:0, swept last year's Western Conference champions!
