Chapter 490: The Lakers' Hole Cards - Wang Bang!
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers 21:25 Bulls.
"What is Harris doing?"
"He didn't replace Kobe, he didn't replace O'Neal."
"Lakers' bench rotation lineup: PG Kobe Bryant, SG Curry, SF Bowen, PF Colsie C, O'Neal!"
"This lineup is so strong! How do the Bulls' benches block? ”
"If you don't replace Kobe Bryant in the easiest rotation time, will he change in the tougher third and fourth quarters?"
"That means, he's ready to play OK for the full 48 minutes!"
Harris frowned.
He thought of Kobe's request to him before the game.
"Coach, let me play the full 48 minutes."
"What are you kidding?" Kirtlambis was surprised that Kobe Bryant was only 18 years old, and he wanted to play a full game under this intensity of confrontation, because he was afraid that his career would be too long.
"I'm not kidding." Bryant was serious, and his eyes told Harris that he was serious.
"Kobe Bryant did it, and I'm going to do it too!" O'Neal overheard Bryant's words on the side and stood up.
"You're betting on your career, and in three years no one will be your match, but if an injury is different, you know?"
"I don't want to be a coward of the future, I want to be a hero of the present."
"Otherwise, coach, do you think there is a way to win against the Bulls?"
Harris took a deep breath.
Kobe Bryant's three-pointer, can this game still be opened? Harris didn't know, he knew that even if he had a good hand, it would be impossible to make 10 threes.
A miracle is a miracle because it is almost impossible to reproduce.
Phil Jackson's on-court adjustments are mediocre, but off the court he must have found a way to limit Kobe Bryant's three-point shot.
"Okay."
Fight to the death.
Harris knows that this decision could cost him his job as head coach of the Lakers.
But Kobe and Shaq want to fight, so let's fight with them!
Fight the whole game!
"This is the Lakers' last hole card." Adelman, the guest commentator of the game, said that he has stepped down as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors and his whereabouts are unknown. There was news that he wanted to take a year off, and there was also news that he had a connection with the 76ers and that Adelman and Iverson were pictured having dinner together.
"The last hole card, the card that the bull can't follow. How dare they let Michael and Scottie play the full 48 minutes? No way! Don't say whether the players are willing or not, even if the players are willing, can the physical fitness of 35-year-old Michael and Scotty compare to the young and strong Kobi Shack? ”
"Open card, king fried. The Bulls have only one option, and that is to keep the regular rotation and play Pippen and Michael for the early 40 minutes and try to lose as few points as possible when they are not on the court. Wait until the fourth quarter Kobe Bryant and Shaq run out of energy, and finally hit a fatal blow. ”
"In this game, the competition is whether Kobe and Shaq can hold on to the end. And whether Michael can change his life at the last moment. ”
"The Lakers' hole cards are played, and now it's up to the Bulls to respond."
...
"Split! For example, in a no-man's land! Shake off Harper and hit the basket is a powerful dunk! ”
"OK Connect! O'Neal soared into the air, and Tarzan pressed the ball into the basket with both hands! ”
"Three-pointers! Kobe Bryant attracts a four-man bag and passes Curry in the seam! Curry has it with his hands open! ”
"Steal! Kobe Bryant breaks the ball! Run wild, smash the ball to the rebound, and follow up O'Neal with both hands! ”
"Kill crazy! Kill crazy! Bryant and O'Neal dominated the court. ”
"Parish can't keep up with O'Neal with Kobe's rhythm at all, and Kobe is not a player of the same level at all in front of the Bulls' bench players, Scottie Pippen hurried up to the court with the bench."
"But it still can't be reversed."
"Michael had a 3-minute break in the second quarter, and the Lakers beat the Bulls 14-2 in those three minutes!"
"Los Angeles Lakers 35:27 Chicago Bulls!"
"Phil Jackson hurriedly changed to the starter, and the Lakers also replaced other players as the starter."
Phil Jackson had a rare panic on his face, and he knew that having Kobe and O'Neal play off the bench would be a big advantage. But he always felt that there were Harper, Parish, Cole on the bench, and even he would replace Pippen with these awards, even if he was behind, he would not collapse.
Letting these players consume OK physical energy is equivalent to replacing inferior horses with superior ones. Then in the final moments of the game, Michael Jordan stepped up to take over the game and end the suspense.
This is Phil Jackson, and it is also the usual routine of the Bulls.
But Bryant's outburst completely disrupted Phil Jackson's setup.
14:2!
Two more of these attacks, not to mention waiting for MJ to finally step up and take over, this game may be over in the third quarter. The Lakers' offensive prowess, OK's destructive power is simply terrifying. For the first time, Phil Jackson had another coach and watched Jordan play across from him.
Panic, weakness, headache.
"See how long you can fight like this! Scotty, give Kobe Bryant a fight! ”
"Then he'll break through."
"It's okay, let him burst out. Don't let him shoot threes. ”
Pippen groaned and nodded.
As a player, Pippen didn't want his overly aggressive style of play to lose his defensive position and allow Bryant to break through. It looks like Pippen's defense is really bad, but it seems to be a better choice to let Kobe break through than a long-range shot.
Put it inside!
Inside, Big Ben, O'Neill, Rodman, and Longley were all huddled together.
No matter how bad you Kobe Bryant is, can you still play dominance in such a crowded restricted area? No kidding.
No one else can do it, not even Michael. If you can Kobe, then I'll be Pippen!
"Breakthrough! Kobe shook continuously, and Pippen hit Kobe hard! ”
"Kobe staggered, the ball didn't drop!"
"Kill in! Break through the inside line! ”
"Z layup! Kobe Bryant threw himself into the air! ”
Rodman pressed down hard with both hands and threw Kobe Bryant to the ground!"
"Kobe Bryant can't get it right! But hit! 2+1! ”
"The Lakers players discussed with the referee that it was a malicious foul, but the referee ignored it."
"Break through again! Kobe Bryant's left hand was broken behind Pippen, and his right hand singled out Langley with one arm! ”
"Longley's slap slapped Kobe Bryant's head hard!"
"I missed the layup, but I still got two free throws!"
"Is Kobe crazy? Not only does he have to play the full 48 minutes, but he also has to hit the Bulls' impregnable defense with every shot? ”
"Longley and Rodman are like two giants, defending the basket, and Kobe Bryant is not afraid at all, challenging again and again! Even if it's scarred! ”
