Chapter 769: James Harden
The 100-point contest is a difficult test of a player's all-round quality in scoring!
Why is there only one 100 points in the history of the NBA?
The only 100 points this time, why has it been questioned all the time?
In fact, the only time the NBA scored 100 points was indeed brushed.
If you don't brush, it's really, really hard for someone to get 100 points.
Not just for Chamberlain, but also for Kobe.
And Kobe, the object of the brush is Ibaka!
The Seattle SuperSonics' defensive strategy against him in this game is one-on-one.
Although it is a single defense, the single defense led by Yes is not so scum.
Yes, Milicic, Millsap and even Rondo are very, very good defensive players.
With the help of his team-mates, his team-mates can help him get rid of Yes for a while, but he won't get an open spot, and he could be in front of Milicic, Millsap or Rondo.
Whether it's Milicic, Millsap or Rondo, although they can't prevent him in this game, they can minimize his shooting rate, which is absolutely no problem.
Indeed, what is more lethal than reducing his hit rate is that his physical consumption will also be greatly increased!
100 points of competition, no physical strength, no everything!
Not only can Ibaka help him save energy on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, in terms of Ibaka's offensive ability, Ibaka can also save energy when he is defending Ibaka.
His outburst in the third quarter, apart from his own reasons, was the greater efficiency of his application of Ibaka!
In the third quarter, Ibaka was his best assistant on both the defensive and offensive ends!
As long as Ibaka is still on the court, he has very, very much confidence that he will score 100 points faster than Yes!
But now!
Kobe Bryant regretted a little in his heart.
Without Ibaka, he wouldn't be able to keep going to Ibaka, and even if he got rid of Yes with the help of his teammates, he would need to pick one of the four supersonic defensive strongmen.
It's quite a headache.
But!
He's Kobe Bryant!
He won't let Yes down in this game, the only Kobe Bryant in the NBA who can play this 100-point race game with Yes!
Even without Ibaka's help, he has a bigger advantage than Yes, and he is confident that he can reach 100 points faster than Yes!
Ibaka's fate not only made Kobe regret, but Yes also had some regrets.
Bryant didn't notice Ibaka's foul count.
Yes didn't notice either.
Aside from the players themselves, and the opposing players who are trying to beat the opposing players, few people will notice the number of fouls committed by the players.
By the way, the head coach of the team will also notice.
Well?
The head coach of the team?
Yes frowned and looked at the team's head coach, Nelson Sr., as he came off the pitch, and Yes seemed to understand something.
And Ibaka, who has been following Ye Si down, saw that because of his fate, Yes's sincere frown, Ibaka also breathed a sigh of relief.
Generally speaking, the number of fouls a player has is only the attention of the player himself and the head coach of the team, but if both of them are interested in the player leaving the court early, even if Kobe Bryant has worked hard to protect it, there is nothing to do.
It's very, very important for Serge Ibaka to stay on the pitch.
Kobe Bryant was in very, very good form in this game, and Ibaka was a regulator.
He will be crazy in the first line of defense to consume Kobe's sharpness, can't make Kobe really crazy, but Kobe's edge can't be completely unleashed, if Kobe's first line of defense is him, the second line of defense is Millsap and Milicic them, Kobe will still score a lot of points in this game, sixty, seventy, eighty are possible, but there is absolutely no possibility of 100 points.
Ibaka is on the court, and he can go all out to limit Kobe's first edge, so that Kobe's edge is in a controllable state.
Kobe's strength is too strong, Kobe Bryant in this game is especially strong, he can't control Kobe alone, and he needs Ibaka's regulator to adjust Kobe's strength.
Now without Ibaka, he has no way to ensure that Kobe Bryant has a hope of 100 points, and he must be the first to reach 100 points in the end, and at the same time, he does not dare to guarantee that the team will win, and it is difficult to say whether he can even reach 100 points!
As Bryant's hopes of scoring 100 points waned, so would Phil Jackson's defense against him.
Ibaka's fate was a rather headache for Yes.
Of course, Yes had a headache, and looking at Yes's headache and frowning, Ibaka was very happy and felt that his self-sacrifice was worth it.
In Yes's mind, he is really not a tool man who embodies his greatness!
Yes is really treating him with the greatest sincerity.
For one of the team's most rubbish role players, it's definitely a great joy to be valued by the team boss.
In addition to Ibaka, the same happy person is Nelson Sr.
Ibaka wanted to come down by himself, he saw it, and he didn't do anything, just let Ibaka stay on the pitch, and Ibaka really came down!
Now, it's up to him to make a choice.
For Yes's 100 points, and Yes's first 100 points, it became even more important to replace Serge Ibaka as the player who partnered Yes on the pitch.
Ibaka is Kobe's tool man on the court, and Ibaka can cooperate with whatever Kobe wants to do.
It can be said that as long as Ibaka is replaced, any player in the Seattle SuperSonics can do better than Ibaka.
But it's not enough to do better than Ibaka, you also need to stop Kobe from reaching 100 points faster than Yes!
Of course, the team has to win at the same time!
The conditions for the Seattle SuperSonics to win this game, before the game, the SuperSonics felt that Yes and the Lakers could be evenly matched on the outside, or if they didn't lose too badly, they could win the game with their interior advantage and bench advantage.
Yes has done well enough in this game.
The comparison between Yes and the Lakers, from the current point of view, cannot be regarded as a miserable loss.
Of course, a loss is a loss, and Yes doesn't score as much as Kobe Bryant and the Lakers combined.
But now the score is tied between the two sides.
This shows that he and his players were right in their pre-match analysis.
Supersonic's interior and substitutions do have an advantage.
And now, it's time for him to help Yes score 100 points and lead the team to a win!
Limiting Kobe, helping Yes score 100 points, and helping SuperSonics win, Nelson Sr. kept thinking about all kinds of candidates in his heart.
And James Harden, P.J. Tucker, Wilkins, Quentin Richardson, Barria and others who were sitting on the bench at this time were also eager to try.
These substitute players, who are now preparing to play in the fourth quarter, looked at Nelson Sr. reluctantly when they got up from their seats.
Faced with the players' gazes, old Nelson secretly glanced at Yes on the side.
Now that the players are so hungry, of course he can't give Yes the right to decide who to choose, isn't this sowing discord?
So, he needs his own choice.
And, give Yes the opportunity to pick this candidate, and Nelson Sr. can be sure that Yes will definitely choose Harden!
Yes is so willful, so principled.
In Nelson Sr.'s mind, there are two best candidates to replace Ibaka, Barria and Tucker.
Barria came on the court, and there was still no way to limit Kobe Bryant on the defensive end.
Maybe Barria is better at restricting Kobe than Ibaka is limiting Kobe, but it's just a little bit better.
However, Barria has a very good chance of consuming Kobe Bryant on the offensive end.
Well?
But soon, Nelson Sr. ruled out such an idea and let Barria consume Kobe Bryant on the offensive end?
In the end, it is likely that Barria consumed Kidd......
Old Nelson looked at Rondo next to him, and finally sighed.
Rondo must be by Yes's side.
Yes's ultra-long-range three-point play in this game requires Rondo to pass the ball to Yes.
As long as Rondo is on the court and Kobe Bryant is on the defensive end, there is no Ibaka to defend, but he can still defend Rondo.
This is simply inexplicable.
Rondo's offense is stronger than Ibaka's, but it is only stronger, and the pressure on Kobe Bryant is still almost zero.
So not an attacking alternative to Ibaka?
With a defensive Tucker?
Tucker is on the defensive end, which would ensure that the five players on the court are defensive strongmen.
Even if Kobe Bryant got rid of Yes with the help of the Lakers' whole team, the offense was not so easy, especially Kobe Bryant in the fourth quarter, who had already consumed a lot of physical strength.
Kobe Bryant singled Tucker, that's certainly no problem.
But Kobe Bryant didn't have that much time to play Tucker alone.
The Lakers helped Kobe Bryant get rid of Yes's defense, that is, to get rid of it, and the time was very, very short, so Kobe Bryant would be so diligent in finding Ibaka in the third quarter.
It's really the shortest time to hit Ibaka, and yes can't find it so quickly if he wants to find it again.
But!
After getting on Tucker, Kobe Bryant may not be able to score 100 points, so Yes may not be able to score 100 points!
He couldn't imagine that Rondo and Tucker were on the court, and how the Lakers would defend Yes!
As long as Tucker and Rondo are on the court, Phil Jackson will dare to cover Yes in the center circle!
Upper Barria, Yes and Kobe Bryant could all score 100 points, but Kobe Bryant will definitely be faster!
On Tucker, Yes and Kobe Bryant will probably not be able to score 100 points, and the team may not win in the end!
Looking at the game that is now going on on the court, Nelson Sr. has a bit of a headache.
When Ibaka came off he was happy.
But now after Ibaka is gone, he can't find a player who can replace Ibaka!
It can only be said that the current supersonic outside players are indeed not perfect, Barria is not perfect, Tucker is not perfect, Quentin Richardson and Wilkins are also imperfect, both of them have both offense and defense, but their offense and defense are not so oppressive.
On them is not as good as one of Tucker and Barria.
Nelson Sr. looked at the supersonic player on the court who had just made an offensive foul on Fisher, and the look on his face was a little embarrassed.
Fisher broke through with the ball and crashed into Harden, who flew straight off the court.
Just touched it so lightly, and Harden flew straight away!
And what made old Nelson even more unsure whether to laugh or cry was that Fisher saw that Harden was so exaggerated that he was about to fly out, and he also flew out backwards!
That's right, Fisher and Harden made a small contact on a breakthrough offense and defense, and in the end, the two of them flew upside down like an electric shock!
This made Randolph on the court look at the two players who fell on his left and right, and they were stunned!
Randolph even had the illusion that he had some inexplicable superpower that bounced Harden and Fisher away?
With Nelson Sr.'s vision in the league for so many years, he can certainly see that Harden and Fisher are fake falls.
The innocent eyes of the two people sitting on the floor are quite similar.
Both of them looked innocent and confused, and in the end the referee still blew Fisher for a foul, he didn't know what was going on with these two people, they all looked like that, but Harden was outside the circle just now, and he still stood still......
This kid!
This old thing!
Harden and Fisher looked at each other innocently and blankly with big innocent eyes, but they were cursing in their hearts.
This is the rejection of the same kind for the same kind!
Nima's kind, Lao Tzu doesn't like big asses!
“……”
Looking at Fisher's eyes, Harden looked angry, and someone doesn't like big butts either!
Also you don't like big butts, what do you like?
Did the young ladies of the big PP offend you?
To be so hated by you?!
Watching James Harden and Fisher secretly compete on the court, even the veteran Fisher was hairy by James Harden, and the old Nelson's eyes, which had been a headache, slowly began to shine!
Three minutes into the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers called a timeout.
Because of the three-minute game, the two teams that were originally tied at 112 have now become 120-116, and the Los Angeles Lakers have lost by four points.
According to the rotation lineup of the two sides in the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers are going to be pulled away.
After three minutes in the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson confirmed that Randolph played a single inside, and he really couldn't bear Millsap + Marc Gasol or Marc Gasol + Milicic!
Marc Gasol, Millsap, Milicic, the superSonics' three inside lines who take turns to play in pairs are simply poisonous!
Since Randolph alone can't get the three interior players on the court, he won't get it.
Anyway, there's enough time now!
"It's time for the two teams to finally face off!"
"Yes and Kobe Bryant are finally going to be the last to decide!"
O'Neal is looking forward to it, Kobe Bryant has changed in this game, and he will cooperate so well with his teammates in the third quarter!
I knew that this guy didn't know how to cooperate, and then he swelled, and he disdained to cooperate with this shark!
However, now that Ibaka is down, I'll see what I can do to win Yes!
Well?!
When O'Neal, who was extremely looking forward to it, looked at the bearded man who didn't end up and still stayed on the field that he was surprised by, O'Neal's face turned black in an instant!
"Is this Nima playing with me?!"
O'Neal was in an uproar, and many people were in an uproar, but Artest watched James Harden lick the corners of his mouth excitedly.
Little Cubs!
