0168: [Leading the team to meet the enemy for the first time]
Old Bass was eventually disappointed.
After Andrew Bynum came on the court, he didn't release his energy as he roared and overturned the Nuggets' three interior lines.
Instead, he was by the Brazilians.
Oh... and JR Smith, who has accumulated 10,000 rage points.
Nene who came off the bench was not as tall as Bynum, but he was far stronger than him, especially good at playing against in the box.
As soon as Bynum came on the court, JR Smith broke through the Smash Parker defense and rushed into the paint zone first.
At that time, Andrew shouted angrily in his heart: Good come.
But when he was about to raise his huge palm to suppress JR Smith's iron blood under the basket, the Brazilian next to him had already jammed half of his body. If it had been before, he would have turned around and passed.
But now, he always felt that his body was not so obedient to his command.
Wait until he finally squeezes out of Nenne.
Rumble!
A dark shadow flew past his eyes, almost knocking him off, until he came to his senses... There was already a roar on the basket, and after JR Smith pulled a basketball hard, it fell to the ground... Roar.
He thumped his chest and let out a resentful roar, as if he had turned over and sang.
But the current fans can't empathize with him at all, they just boo.
Bynum was even more depressed, he originally wanted to set an example of the hateful Li Zhen and let the world witness his surging power.
didn't want to capsize in the gutter, but instead became a punching bag for JR Smith to raise his eyebrows.
When he looked to the sidelines, Bruce was sitting there, covering his face with his hands, looking unbearable.
This made the baby shark even angrier.
Is this a joke on me? Wait and see, I'll let everyone know... I'm the Lakers' treasure, and I'm the future leader of the Purple and Gold.
Back in the half, he immediately reached for the ball.
Bryant really gave face, and took the initiative to feed a ball to Bynum, who was stuck in position.
When the little shark received the ball, Little Bass in the VIP box couldn't wait to make a preview to Old Bass: "Andrew is about to use his trick, and his left turn and right hook hand has been at the level of eighty percent of the day." β
Old Bass sat up straight. Eighty percent Abdul-Jabbar, that's definitely the top level in the league.
However, what he saw was that the baby shark had indeed turned to the left. But the hook was directly destroyed by the Brazilian in the process of turning.
Because his turning motion was too frozen, like a video stutter.
This gives the Brazilian a chance.
The Brazilian seized his sideways moment and slapped Bynum's ball down hard.
It was JR Smith again, and he grabbed the basketball quickly and quickly launched a counterattack. and caused Kobe Bryant's foul in the frontcourt, and went to the free throw line to hit two shots.
JR, who claimed to clean up the blues before the game, finally played a little style, but the person he cleaned up was the little shark Bynum.
"Is he going to follow the path of Randy Foye and help Bruce fight his team contenders? Last time, Randy Ferje beat Smash Parker and Jordan Farmar into a sieve, making Lakers fans deeply realize that Bruce is the only answer on the guard line. β
Kenny Smith joked on TV broadcast live across the United States: "Is JR Smith going to help Bruce establish the title of the first pick of the Purple and Gold Army in one fell swoop tonight?" β
Of course, this is impossible.
"Even if Bynum is beaten miserably tonight, the Lakers' most valued and strategically important potential newcomer is still Andrew Bynum. It's unrealistic to compare a defender to a center. β
Barkley retorted on the spot. "And, Bynum is top-notch
Kenny Smith shrugged his shoulders, though he resisted inwardly. But I have to admit that this is true.
Although the rules of the NBA are now more and more favorable for outside play, the center is still the most valuable asset of the team. Any team aiming to win the title needs a reliable mainstay. Bynum is not very good right now, but he has shown that he has the potential to be a good centre-forward.
Because of this possibility, the Lakers are willing to put a lot of resources into it and reject a trade for Jason Kidd.
Bruce is a great fit for the Black Mamba though, and plays an impressive psychic side. However, no one ever thought that his combination with Bryant would win a championship. And Bynum plus Kobe Bryant is like a dual-core outfit heading for the championship. After all, not so long ago, Kobe Bryant won three consecutive championships with another center nicknamed the Big Shark.
"I'm going to keep practicing."
Old Bass sighed slightly, and he instructed Bass Jr.: "You have to make the training team pay more attention to Andrew's training, young players are always not self-disciplined enough." β
Speaking of which, he couldn't help but add, "It would be nice if he trained as hard as Bruce." β
Little Bas didn't feel good about this.
Jeanie Buss was useful. The two successors are now betting on two potential rookies, and each wants the player they bet on to be better.
"However, hard work can be improved, but talent cannot be changed."
Jim Bass added.
When he said this, Jeanie Buss pulled down her face: "I don't think Bruce's talent is terrible......"
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Old Bass stretched out his hand to stop the behavior of both parties.
Old Bass likes healthy competition within the team, but doesn't like to attack each other. In his opinion, the quarrel between the two siblings was very naΓ―ve. The talent of the two potential newcomers is not the focus at all, as the little shark and the little fox are both valuable assets for the club. Bynum is indeed a bit more talented, but Bruce has worked hard enough and his style of play is very popular, and he has become a box office star for the team, and he complements the Black Mamba. Andrew Bynum grew up later, and didn't the trident they formed even stronger?
Why do you have to score high?
Old Bass didn't understand what his children were thinking.
In this regard, he actually failed. Because he gave both sides more or less power, and didn't really handpick who would succeed him.
This led to an inevitable dispute between the two.
Even without Bruce Lee and Andrew Bynum, they'd be competing with each other on other things.
What's more, now, they have each found their own surrogate.
Of course, you have to fight vigorously and prove that you are a better successor.
β¦β¦
Bynum was as bad as ever, and all his turns, lateral movements, tonight were like slow-motion motion.
Whether it's Nene, or Marcus Camby, or even Kenyon Martin who came up in the back. They all have the upper hand in the duel.
Bynum played from the first quarter to the end of the second quarter.
Phil Jackson gives him a chance.
But he never got it right, and after 15 minutes, he only had 2 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 turnovers.
This made the Black Mamba unbearable and kicked him off the court.
Replace it with Kwame Brown and fight again.
Kobe Bryant was very strong tonight, and he didn't want Bynum's rat to waste his scoring performance. He's already scored 25 points and he's still on the rise.
In comparison, the Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony was slightly behind, scoring just 19 points.
Because... J.R. Smith seized the opportunity to take nine points.
JR was fully activated after Bruce went off the field, and he made consecutive steals to score Bynum as if he had opened the second vein. He demanded something above Smash Park's head, making a series of defiant noises to the sidelines.
However, Phil Jackson remained unmoved, and he had no intention of bringing Bruce to the court.
Let J.R. Smith shout.
Anyway, even if Bruce doesn't play again in this game, the top five of tonight's best shots will be the shot of him dangling to JR's shot.
What's more, now that the Black Mamba is feeling hot, even if the Nuggets players take turns to besiege him, he was killed seven in and seven out, and he wore Yang in a hundred steps.
Bryant is obviously going to tell young Carmelo Anthony tonight: I don't give the scoring title, you can't grab it.
So, why bother letting Bruce play and blur the focus.
As a result, Bruce did not return to the court throughout the first half.
And the Lakers also relied on Kobe's excellent performance to firmly occupy a slight lead.
However, there will be a time when manpower will be exhausted.
When the game reached the second half of the third quarter, the Black Mamba finally showed fatigue.
The Nuggets took advantage of the situation and hit two three-pointers in a row to take the lead of the game for the first time.
Phil Jackson called a timeout when he was down by three points at 82-85, and when the Black Mamba came back out of breath, the first thing he did was tell the coaching staff, "I need Bruce's help." β
At this time, Phil Jackson, who let Bryant go for the whole game, finally made the decision to replace Kobe Bryant back on the bench for the first time. "You need to rest, you've put out a lot more energy tonight than average. I'll leave the game to Bruce for now, and I'm sure he'll be able to sustain this rotation well. β
After Jackson's words came out, the air around him was a little cold.
Everyone knows Kobe's temper, and on the night of his killing spree, he was very reluctant to take a break, what if he set a new record again?
You know, so far he has scored 49 points. It's not without a chance to break the record with another 33 points.
At a time when the air is still.
Bryant didn't fight in the end, he looked at Li Zhen deeply, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Then I'll leave it to you next." β
After saying this, he took the initiative to return to the bench.
In this case, the Black Mamba can make a move to trust Bruce. It can be seen that he trusts Li Zhen.
Phil Jackson was quick to make arrangements, and he put Li Zhen in the team that suited him best: Vujacic, Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin and Kwame Brown.
"You can't let the margin widen to double digits."
As Bruce walked onto the court, Phil Jackson whispered in Li Zhen's ear: "Once we exceed two digits, it will be difficult for us to recover in the fourth quarter." β
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in Li Zhen, it's that the Nuggets are too strong tonight. scored 85 points in less than three quarters, and the offensive firepower was extremely dense, making it impossible to guard against.
Li Zhen nodded vigorously.
What he was thinking about was how to get the score back.
After all, this was the first time he had led his team on his own.
He wanted to hand in a beautiful answer.
