Chapter 1197: Kobe Bryant VS 'Jordan'!
In the game between the SuperSonics and the Grizzlies, the shocking strength played by the supersonic bench lineup is still haunting Phil Jackson's mind after the game.
The hypothetical enemy of the Los Angeles Lakers this season is the SuperSonics.
If you want to defeat the supersound, you have to withstand the main force of the supersound.
And it must be able to withstand supersonic substitutions.
How can you withstand the supersonics' strong bench lineup?
Phil Jackson racked his brains and finally came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone.
The starters used one dozen and four small against the SuperSonics to remove Bynum, which can not only add Bynum as a big center to the bench, but also allow the starting lineup to have enough mobility.
At the same time, Delon, who started against the SuperSonics, was changed from the starter to the rotation lineup to drive and organize the team's rotation lineup.
Bynum, Randolph, Jarrett Jack, Ginobili, Deron Williams.
This is the rotation of the Los Angeles Lakers for this game.
Bynum and Randolph's interior lineup, not to mention the rotation, is a first-class or even top-notch combination even in the entire league.
And the three-guard outside combination of Jack, Ginobili and Deron Williams is also a first-class catcher in the entire league.
Such a rotation lineup, getting the starter, can enter the playoffs in the West, and even the ranking will be very high.
Such a lineup, in Phil Jackson's view, is not just as simple as blocking the supersonic rotation lineup.
The Lakers' rotation can be used to win some points in the rotation.
But what makes Phil Jackson a little unbelievable.
The Lakers' rotation lineup was actually opened by the supersonic rotation lineup!
Not only did it open at five-five, but it seemed that the Seattle SuperSonics' rotation lineup was slightly superior.
Milicic, Millsap, Danny Green, Ingles, Rondo.
After the first six minutes of the second quarter, the score on the court became 52-53!
You know, at the end of the first quarter, the supersonic were one point behind, and now the supersonic are one point ahead.
The superSonics' rotation team actually won by two points in the six minutes of the rotation lineup.
And the reason for this is not because the two powerful interior lines of the supersonic defeated the two interior lines of the Lakers.
Milicic and Bynum, Randolph and Millsap, these two pairs have been in love with each other since four or five years ago, not only are they very familiar with each other, but their strength is also quite close.
In this game, Milicic suppressed Bynum, Randolph suppressed Millsap, and overall, it was evenly divided, and what really made the SuperSonics suppress the Lakers in the rotation lineup was the SuperSonics' point guard, Rajon Rondo!
In this game, he has specially asked the players to stare at Longdo the whole time.
But Rondo still showed a very high standard.
Facing Ginobili's full marking.
In just six minutes, Rondo was still 3-of-6 from the field and scored a game-high nine points in the rotation.
Rondo's efficiency has indeed decreased, but it is still very high!
"Didn't Rondo have defensive players who pulled their hips the whole time?!"
"Why is Rondo so accurate when he is defended closely?"
"Is there really hard power? However, why is his free throws so iron, and his pre-game shooting training so iron? And it's not iron for you, and the iron is still very real, not like a fake at all! ”
Not to mention Phil Jackson, the rest of the audience and the audience in front of the TV also found it incredible.
Of course, Ye Si knows that Rondo is not afraid of close defense, and Rondo, who runs without the ball and catches the ball and shoots, is afraid of being close.
Rondo, who holds the ball, is not afraid of being close.
In terms of Rondo's shooting ability, coupled with the feel of 76, even close defense can have a very good efficiency.
The reason why Rondo is afraid of the closeness without the ball is because, when the ball is close to Rondo, when Yes passes the ball to Rondo, Rondo will be inaccurate because of the close defense, and in the end it is likely that the feel value of 76 will be delayed to become 54, or it may be that he got rid of it in advance, and when he shot, it was 21 touch.
Rondo, who is close to the ball without the ball, even if it is Yes, it is difficult to control him so accurately when he shoots at 76, and Yes's Rondo formula will be inaccurate.
And now, Rondo has the ball in his hands, and he can pull it out if he wants, so naturally the situation is completely different.
Of course, it's certainly better to have no one to defend than to defend closely, but it seems a bit naïve to want to use close defense to limit the current Rondo.
While Phil Jackson and the Lakers' ideas and tactics against the SuperSonics and Rondo failed.
But I have to say that the preparation of Phil Jackson and the Lakers in this game is really quite sufficient.
Every aspect is done in all aspects.
"After a quarter and a half of play, the Seattle SuperSonics only scored 53 points in this game, which is already the lowest score for the SuperSonics at this point in time this season, right?"
When the starters of both teams came on again, Barkley was a little bit unbelievable.
Where did the devastating Seattle supersonic go?!
"It's not just the supersonic score at this point in time that has set a new low, but the lead is also a new low, and it's only one point ahead."
Kenny Smith was also a little unbelievable.
You must know that this season's Seattle SuperSonics game, even with the Grizzlies, the starters are inseparable, and after the rotation is played, the lead will be very open.
And now, after the supersonic rotation is played, they are only one point ahead of the Lakers!
"This match, maybe it will really be a very unexpected result!"
Kenny Smith's eyes suddenly lit up at the thought of this.
Not only Kenny Smith, but also the media reporters at the scene at this time, and many viewers in front of the TV, their eyes were also shining.
The Lakers and SuperSonics started with a five-five, and now the bench is also close to a five-five, so this game is naturally a five-five game, a five-five game, and anything can happen!
"In this game, the two big Bs of the Viper's outfit won't be completed, right?"
Don't do that!
O'Neill in the stands was already blinking a little incessantly.
At this time, the audience at the scene once again turned the whole audience upside down after the game between the two teams started again.
Because after the game restarted in the second quarter, Kobe Bryant singled Leonard as soon as he came up.
Standard waist-backed turn-back jumper!
Leonard has defended to the extreme.
But the basketball that was thrown by Kobe Bryant still swiped and hollowed into the net!
I have to say that Kobe Bryant's condition in this game was so good that Leonard frowned, and it was the kind of frowning frown.
Of course, in retrospect, Leonard also returned a turnaround step-back jumper from Kobe.
"The movements of the two are almost identical, this is the perfect answer ball!"
"It's not exactly the same, Kobe's is Kobe's, and Leonard's looks more like Jordan's!"
"Yes, the contest between Kobe and Leonard in this game is a contest between Kobe and the card version of Jordan!"
Watching Leonard and Kobe Bryant on the court begin to continue the battle that ended in the first quarter, even Kenny Smith was amazed.
The matchup between Kobe Bryant and Jordan was definitely one of the hottest topics in the NBA a decade ago.
Kobe Bryant and Jordan have not faced each other either.
But there is no doubt that when Jordan was still at his peak, Kobe was too young, Kobe was strong, and Jordan was old.
It can be said that the two missed the peak of perfection.
So, what is the showdown between Jordan and Kobe?
It will always be in everyone's imagination.
And now, on the court, the showdown between Leonard and Kobe Bryant has turned everyone's imagination into reality!
"The showdown between Jordan and Kobe Bryant, I'm afraid that's pretty much it, right?"
At this time, many people are admiring.
Maybe the whole world, just the look on Jordan's face is not very good.
Jordan also came to the scene for this game.
One of the greatest regular-season matchups in history.
A battle between two of the strongest teams in NBA history for the regular season!
The most valuable Christmas battle in history.
Even if he has a very big opinion about the two teams in this game, he still can't miss this game.
Now watching the showdown between Jordan and Leonard on the court, listening to the admiration of the showdown between Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Jordan was a little uncomfortable.
Because, everyone really thinks of Leonard as him!
Like, that's really like.
Compared to Yes, the 'Young Lord' of the Lord of the Holy Capital, Leonard is indeed more like his 'Young Helper'.
However, this does not mean that he is willing to be replaced by Leonard!
How can the showdown between him and Kobe be replaced by Leonard!
It's just that......
I have to say that Leonard's strength is also really strong.
Maybe on the offensive end, he is still a little short of him, but on the defensive end, Leonard's quality has definitely reached his level, or even surpassed his level.
Although he is very reluctant, he has to admit that if there is anyone in this world who can replace him and Kobe Bryant, it can only be Leonard!
Even, Leonard is more suitable to replace him than Pierce, Maddie and other people in the past.
Leonard is the best fit to replace him and face off against Kobe.
But Leonard is also the player he is most reluctant to be replaced!
Because......
"Michael, I think not only can I be the second leader of Yes, you can also be the third master of Yes!"
Three-in-command Nima!
At this time, Jordan and James Harden, who happened to be passing by on the sidelines, glared at Pippen fiercely almost at the same time.
That's why Jordan was uncomfortable.
Nima's, Pippen has always said that Durant is his perfect evolution, and if his boss was Yes, Durant would be what he looks like.
This Nima is also shameless!
What kind of offensive talent is you yourself that others don't know, and I don't know yet?
But whether you know it or not, Pippen shamelessly substituted himself into the role of Durant anyway.
And now, if Leonard is him Joe someone, doesn't that mean that in supersound, Pippen can be the second, and if he Joe goes to the supersonic with Pippen, he can only be the third?
As for James Harden......
James Harden is quite resentful right now.
I always thought I was the third.
But now, Ha Sanye found that he had unconsciously become Ha Laosi......
Looking at Leonard, who was responding to Kobe Bryant in almost the same way on the offensive end not far away, James Harden's eyes were full of resentment.
He and Antetokounmpo faced Kobe Bryant.
Half a quarter was directly out.
But Leonard, the first quarter was a little suppressed.
And in the second quarter, in the case that Kobe Bryant focused on turning the target of the attack into him, he could continue to hold on!
No matter how unwilling Ha Sanye is to admit it, he has to admit now that Leonard's strength may really be stronger than Ha Sanye.
After Bryant repelled James Harden and Antetokounmpo in the first quarter, in the second quarter, he chose to beat Leonard first between Leonard and Durant, focusing on hitting Leonard.
This is what Kobe Bryant has thought deeply.
He had already felt the difference in strength between him and Leonard and Durant from the first quarter of the game.
If you choose to focus on taking care of Durant first, maybe because of distraction to beat Leonard, he and Durant still don't know when.
In that case, let's send Leonard out first, and then Durant out.
Seriously, this game and these supersonic brothers are like this, which he definitely didn't expect.
James Harden and Antetokounmpo were okay to say, and they were knocked off with normal ease.
But Leonard and Durant ......
Durant won't say it yet.
Nima's, he and Leonard actually fought a showdown between Kobe Bryant and Jordan!
You know, in this game, even if Jordan really comes, at most Leonard will look like this, right?
Seriously, before the start of this match, in the predictions of the match by he, a mental master, there had never been such a scenario.
Of course, while Leonard's prowess shocked and incredible, it also excites him.
"In this game, I can not only prove that I am stronger than Yes, but also that I am better than Jordan!"
Kobe Bryant is now full of fighting spirit!
Of course, although Leonard opposite him looked paralyzed, his eyes had changed from a little dull to unruly!
Unruly eyes!
Seeing this look, a smile appeared on Durant's face.
Because, this is the way Leonard looked at him in the first place!
He can take the place of the eyes!
"In this game, this seemingly honest but sinister and treacherous kid has finally taken out all his strength?!"
Durant's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this time, the old Nelson on the sidelines was equally dumbfounded.
At least 1.9!
Leonard's planks are worth at least 1.9!
Just when the old Nelson was dumbfounded and the fans were crazy all the experts and reporters were shocked, the second quarter of the game between the Lakers and the SuperSonics was over!
74 to 72!
Bryant faced Leonard's defensive shot and hit the whistle, and the Lakers took the lead again.
And the showdown between Kobe Bryant and Jordan also ended.
At the end of the half, Leonard and Jordan's faces darkened almost at the same time.
Kobe Bryant VS 'Jordan'!
Winner, Kobe!
