Chapter 385: Paul. Gasol (center)
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant ran to catch the ball, and made a pull-up jump shot. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Brush~
Ball in~
But now the key for the Lakers is to defend the opposing team.
While~
Paul. Millsap missed a half-volley, and the rebound was quickly grabbed by Tang Qian. Jefferson is no match for Tang Qian. Even if he weighed much more than Tang Qian, he didn't bring him this offensive rebound. But no one will blame him for this kind of ball, after all, offensive rebounds are much more difficult to scramble than defensive rebounds. If you look at the ratio of defensive rebounds to offensive rebounds in total rebounds in the league, it's almost a 5:1 level. That is to say, if you don't make a rough calculation, offensive rebounding is about 5 times more difficult than defensive rebounding.
However, this is not a fixed number, and some people are better at rebounding in the front court than in the back court.
But obviously, that doesn't include the Jazz's No. 25 All. Jefferson.
Nash passes Kobe Bryant, who continues to shoot from mid-range, but it is short, and the basketball bounces high on the Jazz's basket.
"Rebounding !!"
Teammates on both sides shouted.
Originally this ball Paul. Millsap is trying to help Al. Jefferson was stuck in the position, but as soon as he acted, his front was blocked. Millsap looked up and saw that it was the Lakers' No. 16 Paul. Gasol stood in his way.
In this way, the Jazz team has become Tang Qian and Al Basket. Jefferson's solo rebounding showdown.
Since the ball bounces high, it gives two people plenty of time to get in position.
"Don't you want to get stuck with me, Oriental!" Al. Jefferson opened his arms and was about to snatch the best rebounding position under the basket.
However, in just a second, Tang Qian succeeded in reversing the position, and then squeezed in front of the other party.
What the??? Seeing that he had just finished speaking, he was slapped in the face, Al. Jefferson was furious and began to reverse the position, trying to use his tonnage and weight to force Tang Qian out of the best rebounding area. But soon, he discovered the problem.
I...... I couldn't even squeeze him??? How is this possible???
You must know the card position, in fact, the tonnage advantage is greater than the advantage of bench press power. Jefferson has "gained weight" to 285+ pounds this season, which is definitely super tonnage in terms of his height ratio. But he still couldn't shake the Oriental man in front of him. In this case, it is Al. Jefferson didn't expect it at all.
That's one of the results of Rodman's special training in the offseason, using a change in the body's center of gravity to get more performance against him.
Tang Qian didn't practice this trick to perfection, and even the state of Dacheng was still far behind, but to deal with Al. Jefferson, that's enough. Not to mention that this guy's weight is "gaining weight" rather than "gaining weight", in terms of his card position technique and power method, it is really the same as Dennis. Rodman was 108,000 miles away. So if Tang Qian wants to suppress him, it's not a big problem.
Tang Qian won this offensive rebound, and then made a momentum.
"Stinky boy, see if I don't cover your !!" The rebounding scramble failed, and Al. Jefferson was a little embarrassed, so he hoped that the big hat opponent would come back to the court. And he had an idea, and Derek who moved from the other side. Pevers. They all wanted to cover Tang Qian's second offensive shot.
But at this time, Tang Qian passed a dazzling ball, directly with the back of his right hand, and the basketball left the tips of his fingers.
Then with a sound of "pop~brush~", the basketball hit the board and entered the net.
The scorer was none other than the Lakers' No. 16, Paul. Gasol.
At 89-91, the Lakers were only 2 points behind the Jazz.
And after the goal, Gasol's face obviously looked a little better.
Because of his voice, it suddenly became much quieter.
Al. Jefferson looked at the Oriental No. 29, his expression was a little stunned, and he said to himself: He just went from grabbing the rebound to passing, and it seems that he hasn't looked back at all, right? No, don't talk about turning back, you don't even have to turn your eyes!
And what about him...... How did you get the ball out?
How did he know that Gasol would be in that position?
Could it be that this guy, with his vision and computing ability, is comparable to that of an outside player?
However, the Lakers' euphoria didn't last long, as soon after, the Utah Jazz were back scoring.
The scorer was none other than No. 20, Gordon. Hayward.
Tonight, this guy's fighting spirit is a little too inflated.
Even, it has entered the situation of supernormal play.
Brush~
He stiffened up with Steve. Nash made a three-pointer, and the latter tried his best to defend it, but still couldn't stop his opponent. Excluding the problem of age and athletic ability, the height difference of 12mc is the most fatal. This makes Gordon. Hayward took his stride and was treated with minimal interference.
The so-called "five-front" lineup, here is the advantage point.
Because there is no position, the height is less than 203cm.
With this out of the way, they will always be able to find the "shorter" in order to take advantage of their height and reach.
It's like Gordon. Hayward hit Nash like this ball.
At 89-94, the margin returned to 5 points.
Seeing less and less time, Kobe Bryant is ready to go it alone, which is the epitome of his entire career, even during the O.K combination period, the "Zen Master" acquiesced in him doing so. So the way of playing for more than ten years has almost become a subtle physical intuition.
Brush~
Kobe Bryant punches Gordon. Hayward hit the Jazz's Nets with his back and back.
91-94, but the latter did not feel the slightest displeasure, because tonight, he felt it, and his hands were very hot.
It's a phenomenon that can't be explained, but once it comes, it's something you can vaguely know.
So soon, he returned one, and he was actually not very good at a dry pull-out jumper, brush~, Steve. Nash is basically out of the box with him. 91-96, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to exchange defenders with Nash at this time, because he could see that the No. 20 of the Jazz team felt good tonight, and his fighting spirit was boiling.
Kobe Bryant singled again, but missed, and I have to say Gordon. Hayward defends fiercely, and he seems to have his own set of tips for defending the elderly version of Kobe. Sticking close, stalking, and then using his height and reach to interfere with opponents, that is, he doesn't ask for his own block, everything is just to keep Kobe Bryant from shooting. After 11 years, this is indeed an effective way to defend Kobe, because of the decline in physical fitness, Kobe's ability to combine sudden shots is gradually declining, so you only need to defend his shooting.
Looking at the matchup data of the two, for more than 30 minutes, Kobe Bryant's shooting was very poor, even below the level of 40%. Although Hayward's personal data is worse, for the Jazz, if he can effectively reduce Kobe's shooting percentage, then it is considered a success, regardless of whether his own statistics are good or bad.
Because Kobe Bryant is to the Lakers and Hayward is to the Jazz, the importance of the two is completely incomparable.
"Rebounding !!"
Al. Jefferson has done his best with this ball, but he still hasn't done the No. 29 Oriental, and the opponent's card position technology and center of gravity allocation are far higher than him. So in a one-on-one fight, even if he has the advantage of defensive rebounding, there is still a 50% chance that he will not be able to beat the opponent. Don't think that the 50% chance is low, as I said before, the ratio of defensive rebounds to offensive rebounds in the league is about 4.5:1, which is close to 5:1. If a person can still occupy about 50% of the chance on the offensive rebounding end, then his rebounding ability is definitely a big cut above the opponent. It's even an exaggeration, it's a bit out of the same level.
Tang Qian won this offensive rebound again, and then burst with the ball and smashed the basket directly.
93-96, there were only 2 minutes left in the game.
"thanks~Paul~" After Tang Qian landed, he immediately turned to Paul. Gasol said, because without Gasol's block, it would be impossible for him to get this offensive rebound so easily. If you can't get offensive rebounds, you can't talk about dunking points, so he should be thankful for the Spaniard. After all, this kind of work belongs to blue-collar workers, and Gasol has rarely done this kind of work throughout his career until now.
But tonight, he did it, and it could be seen that Tang Qian's words still had a certain impact on him.
Bryant defended Hayward, who asked for a pick-and-roll, and then burst toward the Lakers' interior. Kobe Bryant shook off the blocker and quickly chased the defense, his footwork and speed were impeccable, but it was the last jump that he lacked height and strength. Hayward forced a defensive foul out.
Two free throws.
Paul. Hayward is a standard white forward, so he has a high shooting percentage in the free throw line, and his free throw shooting rate of more than 82% this season is a strong scoring guarantee. Brush ~ decisively two free throws, without exception, all rolled into the Lakers' basket. This made the Jazz No. 20 even more combative, he looked at Kobe, his eyes were full of provocation, as if he was the rising superstar in the league, and the aging stars could no longer stop him.
Seeing this, Kobe's expression quickly became cold, but he understood that the ball just now was a manifestation of his defensive decline. Kobe Bryant's height of 198cm is not particularly outstanding, but his touch height is the top in the No. 2 position, and Jordan is 269cm, which is nearly 8cm taller than Hayward's 203cm. Don't look at Hayward's height is 5cm higher than Kobe, but his arm span is only 8 feet 7 inches, so in terms of touching height in place, in fact, Kobe Bryant not only does not have a disadvantage, but has an advantage. Coupled with the win of the core strength, even if the weight is 20 pounds lighter than the opponent, it should have some subtle defensive advantage. If this ball was before 2010, no, even last season, he was 70% sure to defend it, but now, he feels a little weak.
There is no big problem with consciousness and footsteps, but at the last moment of jumping, Kobe Bryant clearly felt that it was not as good as before. Therefore, although voting for this season's NBA All-Defensive Team has not yet begun, Kobe Bryant predicted in advance that his winning streak for so many years would be terminated from this season.
This is physiological aging, the power of the old man of time, he can't stop it.
93-98, still a 5-point score difference, Liu gave the Lakers little chance to turn the tables.
On the Lakers' side, Nash is still in charge of the offense, but after entering the last 2 minutes, the Jazz's defensive intensity and defensive focus have obviously improved by a notch compared to before. This makes it difficult for the Lakers to play smoothly offensively. After all, this Lakers team is not Phoenix, and the tacit understanding and run-in between teammates are as far away as the entire Sunset Boulevard.
Nash saw the timing and passed the ball to Bryant, who was running without the ball, but the Jazz were Gordon. Hayward followed him, like a red-eyed bull, no matter who stood in the way, he pushed it away and chased after the purple-gold figure of No. 24. These actions are actually very big, and in the first 46 minutes of the regular season, 70%~80% will be whistled for fouls. But now it's different, it's the last 2 minutes of the game, according to one of the unspoken rules of the NBA, at this time, the referee can't interfere too much in the game, and try to leave everything to the players on the court to deal with and solve by themselves. Gordon, who played in the NBA for 3 years. Hayward obviously knew this, so he didn't hesitate, no matter whether he was friend or foe in front of him, he pushed it away, not letting anyone stop him in pursuit.
Kobe Bryant didn't score much in this game, and if he could prevent the last few key shots, then tomorrow's NBA official website and sports newspaper headlines would inevitably have his name written on them. Just like in his rookie season, because he defended the last shot of No. 24, the league's popularity has greatly increased.
Taking an aging superstar or even a supergiant is one of the quickest paths for young NBA people to become famous.
Gordon. Hayward took this to heart.
What championship? What ring? What MVP? What are the regular season honors? That's not as useful as earning green dollars! Gordon. Hayward's purpose in playing professional basketball is very clear, that is, to make money, to make a lot of money, and if you want to continue to make a lot of money in the NBA, then you can only sit firmly in the main team or directly become the core of the team. He's kind of fed up with the Jazz bench, so tonight, while he's in good shape, he's going to have to do something good.
And starting with the Los Angeles Lakers, who have attracted a lot of public attention, is the best choice.
So he also fought, in order to prevent Kobe, he fought.
You could say that his reasons for spelling are vulgar and bad, but that doesn't stop Gordon. Hayward showed extraordinary concentration, money in this world, is always the best natural prosperity. Fen. One of the agents.
Bryant received the ball and turned around, depending on the situation, to lean back and shoot.
Okay, I'm going to have to defend this ball!
Gordon. Hayward pounced with all his might, not to mention, full of momentum and a bit of bluffing.
"Bryant got off and it was a step-back jumper, but Gordon. Hayward also made a fierce pounce, could he have scored this goal? "Live narrator Bill. McDonald exclaimed.
Throw, throw, I have a good rhythm of this ball, it will definitely interfere with you!
Gordon. Hayward watched the Lakers' No. 24 lane from the air.
In fact, the moment Kobe Bryant jumped, he also felt a sense of oppression, and if this ball was forced to shoot, the timing might not be too good. But...... So what? I'm No. 24 on the Lakers and I'm Kobe Bryant. Bryant, I want to shoot, no one can defend it!
This is Kobe's heart, this is Kobe's belief, and at the same time, this is Kobe's inner paranoia.
Sometimes, he is always too confident in himself, and this almost paranoid self-confidence is like a double-edged sword, the good side can create miracles and accomplish feats, and the bad side can also cut off the victory and hurt the team. But that's his style of play, and it's where his love-hate combination comes from. Those who like it, great love, those who don't like it, great disgust. It's more polarized than any other superstar in the history of the league.
However, he used this style of play to get 5 championship rings, countless miracles, countless miracles.
This is an irreproachable arrogance.
What's right? What's wrong? In the NBA, it's the winner who is qualified to define it all.
Empty-handed, no matter how good you are, you will never be able to enter the house.
For example, Marlon, for example, Barkley, for example, Elgin. Baylor, blah blah blah
The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.
So Kobe Bryant didn't hide his flaws even if he had a poor shooting selection, and few Los Angeles fans would blame him.
But just when Kobe Bryant was about to make a move, a figure of the Lakers suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
And obviously, looking at his off-ball trajectory, it is more reasonable and better than Kobe's side.
Look at the back number, he is...... No. 29 ???
Scene after scene involuntarily poured into Kobe's mind, especially the sentence in this game:
Because I don't want to lose again, I want to win, I want to win.
To win...... To win...... What about me? I want to win too? Am I going to win too?
Of course you have to win! Of course I want to win! But I'm going to shoot this time...... Can it really help the team win?
Or is it now...... Is it time to let go of a little paranoia and win just for the sake of winning?
17 wins.
At least 45 wins.
There are 42 games left.
It also takes 28 wins.
I......
To win!!
Thinking of the disturbances, gossip, ridicule and ridicule from the outside world, Kobe Bryant suddenly moved his brows, and then shot the basketball.
The arc of basketball, but not up, but ...... Go down!
Bryant passed.
In the last 2 minutes of "Black Mamba exclusive time", he chose to pass.
This makes the defender Gordon. Hayward was stunned, which stunned the Jazz, stunned the Lakers, stunned all Los Angeles fans at the Staples Center. The Black Mamba, who dominated the last 2 minutes even in the O.K era, passed the ball???
Bang dang~
When Kobe Bryant heard this voice, he said to himself:
Shoot yourself to win, yes.
It's okay for a teammate to shoot to win.
Now as long as the Lakers can win, it's all right.
It's all there!
PS: The inside of the Lakers is slowly changing, and it's an essential part of becoming a real championship team.
Xiaozi believes that the charm of basketball lies in the team, in the group, and in the enterprising determination of 12 people to work together.
Again, basketball is not track and field is not boxing, it needs heroes, but it is by no means only heroes.
