Chapter 256: The Nunnery Master Makes Two Mistakes Again (Ask for Recommendation Votes~)
"The Lakers are very good tonight, and in this situation, they can still win the Denver people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info "Isaiah. Thomas Road.
"Not necessarily, since the Denver people can drag the series into Game 7, then they can't surrender so quickly, and I think there may be a change in the game." Bill. Walton said.
"But I personally think that Mike. Brown finally made the right decision to use Gasol to attack in the low post. "Bill. Walton said: "The first six games have been obsessed with Bynum's basket and it didn't work very well, and McGee's defensive ability limited him very well. Paul, on the other hand. Gasol is 10cm taller than Farid, and it's stupid not to take advantage of such a height advantage. Honestly Isaiah, if I were on this Lakers, I would definitely be with Mike. Brown fell out! β
"Gasol's personality is indeed very kind." Isaiah. "But that's what makes him a perfect fit with Bryant, and the effect that two plus one is greater than the sum of its parts," Thomas said. β
"Isaiah, do you mean to say I'm grumpy?" Bill. Walton's eyes bulged and he asked.
"Ah~ha~ I didn't say that, Bill." Isaiah. Thomas explained with a smile as he spread his hands.

"The Lakers have changed their interior offensive tactics, and we have to make some adjustments next." George. Carl looked at Kenneth. Farid said: "Kenneth, you come down and rest for a while, Al, you go up, remember, it doesn't matter if you can't stop Gasol, just do your best, but the offensive end must play our Denver characteristics." β
"I see, coach, I'm going to give that stupid Spaniard a taste!" Al. Harrington nodded.
β¦β¦
Nuggets substitutions?
Replaced Kenneth. Farid? Replaced with Al. Harrington? What is this going for?
Don't look at Harrington's height of 206cm, but on the defensive end, he is really not necessarily better than Farid, after all, he is old and not the kind of player with particularly strong physical talent, so it is inevitable that his defensive ability will decline significantly. So why is this the case? Carl still replaces him? The reason is simple, Al. Harrington than Kenneth. Farid is more attackable. He averaged 14.2 points per game in the regular season, far more than Kenneth Farid, and most importantly, Al Harrington was a big man pitcher. He shot over 35% from three-point range in his career, almost starting from the 3-point line, with attack points all over the place, and there were no obvious shooting shortcomings. Although he is over 32 years old this season, his physical confrontation and athleticism are no longer as brave as they used to be, but he still has a good hand in the middle and long distances. The reason why Carl put him on the field.
Since the No. 4 position can't contain Paul. Gasol, then simply don't contain it, just come and attack.
I can't stop you, then you don't want to stop me, this is George. Carl's strategy.
Attack after attack, and completely drag the Spaniards to death.

"Al. Harrington made a 3-pointer shot at 45 degrees on the left side, and the basketball hit~"
"Al. Harrington made a 50-degree mid-range jumper on the right side, and the basketball hit ~"
Accompanied by the live narrator Bill. McDonald's commentary, the Nuggets scored five consecutive points in the third quarter, and the Lakers' lead was only 1 point, 48-47.
Gasol punches Al on the inside. Harrington won, 50-47.
Before the ass was hot, the Denver Nuggets scored another 3-pointer when they turned around, and the two sides were tied on points, and the scorer was not Al. And who is Harrington? Taking advantage of Gasol's limited defensive area, Al. Harrington frequently went around the three-point line and threw the opponent, this scene Tang Qian saw in his eyes, how familiar it was. When Harrington was still with the Golden State Warriors, Nelson Sr. used a trick to deal with Yao Ming, taking advantage of the shortcomings of the lack of movement speed of the earthen kiln, and wantonly using players with medium and long distances to drop the earthen kiln, which made the defensive Rockets helpless for a while.
Gasol, although much more mobile than Clay Kiln, is also very strong, and in fact, he is also the kind of traditional big man inside, and the defensive area cannot be extended beyond the 3-point line. Coupled with plantar fasciitis this season, Gasol's movement speed has been much more limited than usual. This gives George. Carl exploited the space of loopholes, after all, competitive sports are cruel, and it is impossible not to take advantage of the opponent's defensive weaknesses. Harrington is a clever move that has the effect of turning decay into magic.
As long as Gasol is exhausted on the defensive end, then the physical end is bound to suffer. Karl has studied the Spaniard's playing time in this series a little bit and has played less than any previous series. This shows that the Lakers' No. 16 is not in good health, otherwise the playoffs Mike. Brown didn't have to hide it.
Sure enough, as the game deepened, with 7 minutes and 36 seconds left in the third quarter, Gasol began to be a little overwhelmed. The speed of the defense and the speed of traversing are significantly weaker than the first two quarters. At the same time, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, the Spaniards also had problems, and the physical wear was serious, which directly led to a decrease in physical confrontation and a decrease in shooting stability.
Beep~
After the Denver Nuggets made another three-pointer, Mike. Brown called a timeout.
At 55-60, the Denver people have overtaken the Lakers by 5 points.
"Strengthen the defense, strengthen the defense, everyone don't let their guard down, get up and running, don't give the opponent a chance to shoot in the open space!" Mike. Brown kept saying off the court, but this question, can Lakers players not know? But the point is that it can't be solved! The hole on Gasol's side is too big, unless...... The owner of the nunnery is willing to do the drudgery, and the defense is expanded to defend Al. Harrington.
"Andrew, you're going to defend Al later. Harrington, Paul's side to defend Javier. Mcgee. "Mike. Brown is also the one who won the coy no matter what he says, so he can still see this kind of defensive problem. And to deal with this situation, the offense and defense are misaligned, which is the easiest solution, that is, to make Paul . Gasol was the main attacker, while his opponent left another player to defend.
In order to avoid too much dislocation, it is the best choice for Gasol to go to the No. 5 position at the defensive end and the No. 4 position for the main hermitage, because the Lakers are an interior double-tower lineup, and the advantage of this lineup is that the No. 4~5 position can be switched at any time, and there will be no obvious problem of interior defensive misalignment. Mike. Brown's adjustment is logically correct and feasible. The owner of the nunnery is younger than Gasol, and has better physical strength and athleticism, so it is a good choice to do a large-scale defense.
But Mike. Brown didn't want to think about it, would he agree?
On the offensive end, you cut back on my role, and on the defensive end, you still want me to do "hard work", and do you still want me to be an All-Star?
"No, Coach Brown, I think you're doing this too much." After hearing this, the owner of the nunnery immediately spoke: "Instead of doing this, it is better to put me directly on the No. 4 position, so that I can bear all the offense and defense of the No. 4 position." β
"You mean, you want to attack?" Mike. Brown was not stupid, and he understood the meaning of the owner's words as soon as he heard it.
"That's right." The owner of the nunnery nodded and said: "Anyway, his hit rate has also dropped now, so it is better to continue to fight me, so that the cohesion of low-level firepower will undoubtedly be better." β
"You said you played the No. 4 position, and the other party will let you play the No. 4 position?" Bryant walked out at this time and said, "George. Karl, not so stupid, he will definitely continue to defend you at the No. 5 position on the defensive end, and there will be no change from the front. β
"So what? Anyway, if you want me to defend the No. 4 position, you have to give me the right to shoot in the low post, otherwise I won't do it! The owner of the nunnery saw that Kobe Bryant saw through his careful thinking, and simply picked out the way directly.
"What do you mean? At the critical moment, you dare to blackmail us? When Kobe Bryant heard this, he became angry and asked the owner of the nunnery loudly.
"Say whatever you want! Anyway, this is my condition, if you don't promise me, don't want me to defend the No. 4 position! The owner of the nunnery also said in a very strong tone, without any intention of backing down. Because he can see that in the playoffs, Kobe Bryant is very concerned and will never let himself be banned from the team like the regular season, otherwise will he win the next series? Regarding his status in the current Lakers team, the owner of the nunnery is not confused, not to mention the absolute core, it must be an indispensable part. If Kobe Bryant wants to enter the NBA Finals this season, he will have to help him!
"What did you say!" Kobe Bryant was furious, if it weren't for the other members of the Lakers to stop him, he would have walked over and beat Andrew. Bynum up. Kobe Bryant's emphasis on the playoffs goes without saying, even giving up the regular season scoring title race, what is the purpose? It's just to enter the finals again and win the championship again! Someone is blocking him at such a time, can he be hairy?
"Forget it, forget it, Bryant, just try it as he says, maybe it will work wonders." Mike. Brown actually came to the Lakers with the intention of correcting the owner, and in his opinion, Kobe and Gasol are too old to be the future leaders of their own teams. But he didn't know that as soon as this sentence came out, the little goodwill he had left in Kobe's heart also disappeared.
"Okay, all right, I'm Andrew. Bynum will lead the team to victory! Seeing that he had regained the low-level core power, the owner of the nunnery was greatly excited, and as soon as he came on the field, he said loudly, looking very arrogant.
"Javier, this idiot is so arrogant, you can give him some color later!" Great. Lawson confronted Javier. McGee said.
"No problem, I wish he had taken the initiative to attack!" Javier. McGee nodded and replied with a look of "can't wait".
β¦β¦
Syllable~
Another big hat, McGee fanned off the basket of the hermitage owner, and the Nuggets took advantage of the situation to launch a defensive counterattack. Lawson assists Aaron. Afflalo dunks.
"Hey, All-Star Center, you can't do it!" McGee sneered at the hermitage, making the hermitage's face almost darken.
After going on the court, he missed 4 consecutive shots, 2 of which were slapped by the big hat, and the remaining 2 shots also collapsed and flew out of the basket due to the interference of the opponent.
55-66, because of the continuous shooting of the owner, the score gap between the Lakers and the Nuggets widened, which was extremely unfavorable in the key tie-break. No problem, Mike. Brown had to call a timeout again.
The atmosphere on the Lakers' side is terrifyingly frozen.
"Are you an undercover agent for the opposite team? 0 of 4 from the basket? Are you stupid??? Can't you see that I'm empty??? Meta is empty, you can't see it??? You've been blinded in the eye??? Yes!!! Kobe Bryant was a little furious, trailing his opponent by 11 points in the tiebreaker, which made him unable to hold back any longer, and pointed at Andrew as soon as he came. Bynum's nose cursed.
"Me, I'm just a temporary feeling problem, I'll be able to recover later!" In the face of the angry Kobe, the owner of the nunnery also stiffened his tongue and spoke a little stumbling.
βdonβt.οΌοΌοΌ Put away your set of dogs. !! I have eyes, I'm not an idiot like you!! After saying that, Kobe Bryant turned around and said: "Give Paul the inside offensive power, and let this stupid X go and stay aside!" β
Kobe Bryant said this without the slightest honorific, and aimed at Mike. Brown's voice chilled.
"This, okay, okay." Forced by Kobe's strong deterrent, Mike. Brown could only reply subconsciously.
"No! How can this be? Give me another chance, and I'll definitely score next time! The owner of the nunnery saw that Kobe Bryant was going to deprive him of his right to make a move, and he resisted loudly. You shut up!!! Idiot stuff!! I only know how to attack and defend??? You've got El at bay. Is Harrington a ball??? β
"Bryant, you know what about me, what about you? Who did you defend against? Your opponent seems to have made 4 of 5 shots now! What right do you have to accuse me? After the owner finished speaking, the Lakers players cast a sympathetic look at him, because this kind of thing should not be said at all. Many fans will "talk about a game", accusing the core players of dragging their feet with the explosive seeds of a game, cheering up, thinking that they have sufficient reasons and pretending to be fair. It's actually quite stupid, why? Because the core player of any team, his shots, his playing time, and his team status all rely on his own accumulation over the years. It's not a game, it's not a series, it's not even a season. Especially for a player like Kobe Bryant, it took him ten seasons or more to fully establish himself. Therefore, fans are often very tolerant and generous to people like them, and the performance and data of others who will be hacked to death will simply be revealed if they are put on them. Doesn't seem fair? That's when you only see the surface, without a long period of accumulation of popularity, strength, honor, etc., will people give him this kind of tolerance? Not at all.
Their status has been fought for in the league with a knife and a gun, countless nights of turning the tide, countless nights of single-riding saviors, which has that special fan tolerance. The words of the owner of the nunnery were purely brainy, and as soon as they said it, the eyes of the Lakers players instantly became sympathetic and pitiful. Why? The main thing is that this guy is too brainless! This pitiful IQ and EQ alone deserves "sympathy" from all.
Kobe paused for about three seconds before looking at him and said: "In the next time, I will let the shooting rate of all opponents drop below 20%, and if you can't do it, the boss of the Lakers team will let you be the boss." β
ps: The protagonist will play in the next chapter, and it won't really make him so comfortable~
I watched the video of this tie-break again today, and I felt a lot, the Lakers that year really felt a little bit at the end of the road~ Alas~ Obviously, the strength on paper is not weak, but it did not have the effect of 1+1+1+1+1=5, but it's a pity ~ Mike. Brown is not suitable to lead this team~
Let's vote a lot, and if the number of votes is enough, we will add more~ (To be continued.) )
