Chapter 703: Ketang Strong Support (10,000 Words Explosion Completed~)
26-8, this is the current result of the Los Angeles Lakers, placed in the East, enough to secure the top three, placed in the West, sorry, currently only sixth. Although there is only a 1~2 win difference with the top three, except for the Spurs and Thunder, the rest are all slight advantages, but falling behind is backward, and there is no reason to talk about it.
On January 7, Kobe Bryant went crazy in order to win, and did not rest for a minute in the 48-minute regular season + 5-minute overtime, scoring 61 points in the game, including a quasi-stunner, allowing the Lakers to beat the Dallas Mavericks by 2 points. The Mavericks are really unlucky, often brushed by the Lakers' No. 24 to make various records, and tonight was the same.
The Black Mamba's third single-game score of 60+ this season was born, and this kind of firepower has surpassed that of the 05-06 season that year.
But the problem is also obvious, Kobe Bryant has been playing for too long, and his physical fitness is indeed bursting now, but Jordan can't hold it up if he continues to play like this. Unfortunately, this question was fulfilled. On January 8, 2014, the Lakers challenged the Houston Rockets back-to-back away games, and this game was watched by a lot of people, and Howard and Harden also let it go, absolutely not the same situation as last time, and must beat the Lakers at the Toyota Center.
The game was unbelievably intense, really intense, not just talking. The two teams played 2 overtime games before finally separating the winner, Kobe Bryant played the role of the savior, he actually felt very average throughout the game, but threw in a killer shot in the last 3.2 seconds, allowing the Lakers to rush out and beat Houston by 3 points.
And it's not a quasi-lore, it's a real whistle ball, the ball goes in and the lights come on, and the game is over.
Buzzer.beaters!!!
The Lakers extended their winning streak, and the team returned from sixth in the West to fifth in the West, but at the cost of Kobe Bryant playing another full 48 minutes of regular season time + 2 overtime. He had 50 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 19 free throws, helping the Los Angeles Lakers win by 3 points.
This kind of game, fans naturally seem to be addicted, but for the Lakers, it is not a good thing in the long run.
Tang Qian's game was super god again, he seemed to feel a little, he ran into Howard, and he was a god. Ma is prone to enter the state of "supergod". Is this a deliberate suppression of "Warcraft"? So that he will never be able to hold his head up?
Tang Qian also played more than 40 minutes in the whole game, and got a quasi-triple-double of 16 points, 31 rebounds, 9 blocks and 3 assists. Tang Qian's cap is difficult to brush up.
However, Harden is also a pervert tonight, and Kobe seems to be on the same page, scoring 48 points like crazy, and the shooting rate is close to 2 percent higher than Kobe, plus the Rockets' Parsons burst the Lakers' No. 3-4 position, so the slump of "Warcraft" was covered up.
103-100 in the game, the Lakers narrowly won! 2 wins in a row!
After a day's rest, the Lakers returned to the Staples Center, but this is the home court of the Clippers tonight, and the Los Angeles Lakers players feel extremely tired after three games in four days. Especially in these two games, they were very intense, and both played overtime, not to mention the consumption of players.
In this game, the Lakers once trailed by almost 20 points, but fortunately, No. 24 stood up in the second half and frantically killed the Clippers inside and directly punished DeAndrew. Jordan, that's what eased the Lakers' situation. In the end, relying on Kobe Bryant's 39 points in the second half and 54 points in the whole game, the Lakers won three consecutive wins! It was also the 29th team win of the season!
At present, the Lakers are 29-8 and the ranking has re-entered the third place in the West, but the ranking is very unstable, and there is only a gap of about one half of the game, which means that any loss will make the team rank and slide again.
Moreover, in this game, in order to win, Kobe Bryant did not stop the whole game, and played 48 minutes.
In this way, he played 159 minutes in the NBA in 4 days! This intensity is already the highest consecutive playing time of three games in the 84-year history of the NBA! Michael. Jordan didn't do that before!
Mike. D'Antoni actually had the intention to let Kobe rest, but these games were too intense, so he didn't dare to take down No. 24 for a minute. The Lakers will go down on this stable independent scoring point, and these three games will definitely be lost.
But it's not a way to play like this, Kobe Bryant is 35 and a half years old this season, and he had Achilles tendon surgery last season, if he gets injured again...... D'Antoni can't imagine that he will be eaten alive by Lakers fans.
So he decided to let No. 24 rest for the next game against the Cavaliers, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was objected to:
As long as I can move! It's time to play! No one can give me a rest this season!
The rest of the Lakers don't understand Kobe's persistence, but Tang Qian does.
Because this is the last season for the number 24, he does not want to miss a single game.
Thinking from another perspective, Tang Qian himself is afraid that he will think the same way, and now, who can persuade him?
No one.
Game 38 of the regular season, which is also the last game of the week for the Lakers, against the Cleveland Cavaliers, an underdog in the East.
There is no Zhan Huang this season, Owen leads the team alone, and the results are not good, but this is his third season, and he still has unlimited possibilities. At least that's what he thinks.
In this game, Owen didn't know what he ate, but he actually entered the "The.Zone", and he has been fighting against Kobe, if he hadn't entered the "The.Zone" behind the 24th, he would have almost been overpowered. However, compared with Irving, Kobe Bryant is not only responsible for offense but also defense, which is the ability to integrate offense and defense, and it is also a loophole for the Lakers to lack a major general. The existence of this huge outside line loophole invisibly requires that No. 24 must hold on to the outside line.
Otherwise, all the outside lines will be blown out.
The Lakers won the game, and Bryant scored 56 points, ahead of Irving's 48, but Meeks bumped into Anderson on a fast break. Vallejo's knee fell to the ground and was carried straight back to the dressing room. Gary. Viti's initial judgment is that it is a slight bone fracture, and it will probably need to be out of action for about 2-4 weeks. In other words, the Lakers will be missing Meeks as a stable three-point shooter in the next month, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury for Los Angeles, which has not many shooters.
Kobe Bryant played another 45 minutes and 37 seconds in this game, and it was not until the final situation was decided that he was replaced and took a little breath.
If you continue to fight like this, it's not good, even if it's a super peak Kobe, it's not a real iron man, if you get hurt...... This season for the Lakers is completely over. No. 24's coveted sixth Larry. The O'Brien Cup will also be in full swing.
Los Angeles Lakers win 4 in a row! Consolidated his position in the third place in the West!
Kobe Bryant was naturally the best of the week in the West, winning the honor with 50+ in four consecutive games in a week, scoring a total of 221 points and averaging 55.25 points per game. It may seem exaggerated, but Kobe Bryant has done it better than this before! For example, in 07, he averaged 56.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 steals per game, and a true shooting rate of more than 67%. So for himself, this level is nothing.
Because this season, he is at the peak of his life, what is so strange about reaching this kind of result?
On the same day, the NBA league announced the third round of voting, and Kobe Bryant in the West has firmly occupied the position of the vote king through a series of scoring performances. Tang Qian followed. James had just enough votes to be the third in the overall vote.
Although it is a week, after playing the Cavaliers, the Lakers will play the Suns again the next day, and it will be another back-to-back.
The opponent is not strong, but now the Lakers are struggling to play any opponent, and Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian have to play with all their strength to win. Originally, Nash and Gasol were missing, and now Steve. Blake and Meeks are both injured again, and this ball is getting harder and harder to play.
For the sake of roster continuity, the Lakers had to rush to the Los Angeles defenders of the NBDL to sign a Manny. Harris down, but you don't have any hope for him, he just came to "play soy sauce", except for garbage time, he basically has no chance to perform.
Known as the "Michigan Mamba", he was also the Michigan Basketball Man in high school, but because of injuries and discomfort, he was not favored by NBA teams in the draft. Oh, by the way, he will come to play in the NBL league in the future. Yes, it's the NBL, not the CBA, which is also one of the two major men's professional basketball leagues in China. However, the level of attention and competition is lower than that of the CBA, so it has not been well known. However, there has been a super big name in this league, and he is the "big white side" who once played in the Shudu Blue Whale Club. He is Hassan, who was "rejected" twice by the CBA that year. Whiteside.
So this proves that heroes are not afraid of low backgrounds.
This game is another tough battle, and I don't know when the Lakers will start playing with any team. It was another overtime, and the Lakers barely took it, Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian's data were "brushed" a lot, but there were not many smiles on the faces of the two people.
5 wins in a row! 31-8! Secured the third position in the West!
But the cost is too great.
Tang Qian played 41 minutes in this game, and his physical strength was exhausted, and he was almost scored by the Suns inside. There is no way, he can't play more than 35 minutes now, and once he does, with the intensity of the NBA game, there will be a significant decline in form every minute.
If you want the current Tang Qian to play 45 minutes, it is estimated that his rebounding and blocking power will be lost at the end.
Basketball is a high-intensity competitive sport, without physical support, everything is illusory, and everything will be ignored.
After the physical strength is completely overdrawn, Qiao Shen will be beaten by the rookie! Don't think that it's common for the spirit to overtake the body, that's the exception, not the rule.
Kobe Bryant played the whole game, contributing 51 points in the game, and it was his last consecutive scoring that guaranteed the Lakers' victory.
On January 17, Kobe Bryant beat the Boston Celtics and scored 27 free throws, and 27 free throws are already Kobe's single-game free throw record. It can be seen how much energy Kobe Bryant released in order to score in this game.
Recently, the continuous play of full or close to the full game, even if it is an all-round peak Kobe, even if it is a super peak Kobe, it is a bit unbearable. The shooting rate has declined, and the pace of footwork has slowed down, which are all signs, so in order to score, he can only grit his teeth and choose to break through, and choose to go to the inside basket to create damage.
Fortunately, this is a 230+ pound Kobe, if it was a Kobe who was less than 200 pounds last year, it is estimated that he will be seriously injured again and the season will be reimbursed. Really, no kidding, Kobe Bryant's playing time during this period has reached the historical peak after 84 years, and no one has played more time than him in 7 consecutive games.
scored 50 points and won this "yellow-green confrontation", Kobe Bryant was obviously a little tired at the end.
Continuous ultra-high scoring also has to take into account defense, this kind of load is really not imaginable by ordinary people.
Tang Qian also did his best, grabbing 29 rebounds and contributing 11 blocks in this game.
Two people can only win the game after playing this kind of data, and you can imagine how weak this Lakers team as a whole is.
How vulnerable.
It's like a rag, it's completely two people holding on, so it doesn't fall apart, it doesn't tear off.
Why do you think the Lakers have won so many games in a row, and the role players are still not good? One of the reasons is that they are really too weak to provide more team energy. The second is that the outside world is now advocating that the Lakers are a "one-and-a-half-man team", with one on the 24th and half on the 29th. The rest of the people don't add up to half.
In this environment, there is an imbalance and a decadent inferiority complex in the hearts of Lakers players, and even people who break the jar and break it are not non-existent. As a result, coupled with many injuries, the Lakers are scattered.
Kobe Bryant and Jordan are not suitable for leading this kind of team, and the most suitable person for this kind of team is none other than the Heat's No. 6, LeBron. James. He's good at doing this kind of thing.
Tang Qian can't talk about leadership skills at all now, so he can only grit his teeth and work hard with Kobe.
On January 19, Kobe Bryant scored 60 points again, leading the Lakers to eliminate the Raptors, and scored 60+ twice on the head of the same team in one season, which is also the only one after 84 years. However, in this game, Kobe Bryant was close to playing the whole game.
One person bears more than half or even most of the team's offensive firepower, and this burden and load can be imagined.
But Kobe Bryant can't stop now, and he doesn't dare to stop, he only hopes that Tang Qian, the only helper around him, won't fall down early.
Otherwise, there is no hope for this season.
On January 20, the Lakers played their 42nd game of the season against the Bulls at the Chicago Union Center.
The Bulls are missing their core Rose and have suffered a nine-game losing streak at the start of the season, but there have been some signs of recovery recently, as the Bulls' management decided not to wait for Rose and began to focus on supporting a team named Jimmy. Butler's 3rd grader. Don't look at him now averaging 13+ points per game, but if you look at the rest of this Bulls team, you know that this score is not bad. Because the highest scorer per game is only 14+ points, after Rose's injury, Lore. Deng was also traded to the Cavaliers, so now the Bulls' style of play is very average. DJ. Augustine averaged 14+ per game, Carlos. Boozer averaged 13+ per game, and Jorkin. Noah averaged 12+ per game, and Thai. Gibson averaged 13+ per game, and Mike. Dunleavy averaged 11+ per game, Kirk. Hinrich averaged 10+ per game, plus Jimmy. Butler is averaging 13+ per game, and that's the scoring makeup of the Bulls this season. Roughly speaking, the seven players who scored in double figures, coupled with their tough defense as always, have recently played a wave of 15-3 losses, and the Eastern Conference ranking is getting higher and higher.
The Bulls are not running and shooting and small-ball tactics, in fact, they only have head coach Tom. If Thibodeau is there, it will be impossible to fight.
Because Thibodeau is a defensive maniac, at least for now. Many people only know that he officially became the NBA head coach in the 10-11 season, and in his first season, he won the honor of head coach of the year. But I'm afraid a lot of people don't know, Tom. Thibodeau, one of his true golden years, was the time of assistant coaching.
Or that he is a person who only has one side of offense and defense, and the most suitable position is not head coach, but assistant coach.
Of course, it's not to belittle him, it's just that there is no one to guide the attack, and it will be difficult for the team he leads to win the championship.
In the iron-blooded New York in the late 90s, the "little giant" rocket that we Chinese are most familiar with, there are Van Gundy in this, and there are Thibodeau in it. He was born to defend, and without him, Van Gundy claimed that he would not have been able to defend so strongly. If Thibodeau's defensive talent has not been completely affirmed after nearly 10 years with Van Gundy, then the following one is enough to make him famous.
In 2007, Thibodeau, who was idle at home, joined the Boston Celtics, and at this time, his talent was truly recognized by the world. The Green Army's iron-blooded defense you thought was Doug. Rivers giving? Wrong! Look at the years when Rivers didn't come to Thibodeau, the Green Army's defense has always been sloppy, and when Thibodeau came in 2007, it immediately became a team that only allowed opponents to score 90+ points per game. And last season, the Green Army conceded nearly 100 points per game, and suddenly lost nearly 10 points per game, do you think it is Garnett's credit alone?
Look at Rivers going to the Clippers again, when did he have any defense? Every year, the points lost are more than 100+.
And in the 07-10 season, there were 2 consecutive finals "yellow-green battles", who was the person who formulated the strategy of defending Kobe? And who is the one who designed the joint defense and trapping tactics? Kobe Bryant gave the answer after losing in the 2008 Finals, and the original words are as follows:
As long as there is Tom. When Thibodeau is there, that team will be strong defensively and he is a strong point for the Green Army. And he knows me very well, I was coached by him when I was 14 years old, and it's clear that he knows me and my team very well.
So this guy's defense, as long as the players are willing to listen to him, must be terrifying.
But the advantages are as obvious as the disadvantages, and if the Lakers' D'Antoni "can't defend", then the Bulls' Tom. Thibodeau "will not attack". If the two are combined, there is a good chance that they will become a super perfect manager.
But imagination can only be imagination, the reality is that the Bulls led by Thibodeau absolutely do not play small ball and run and bomb, they are the "hand-to-hand fighting" of the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets. This style of play requires that it be pushed hard and strangled in a position.
It's a pity that Rose turned into a glass man, otherwise Thibodeau would have taken Joaquin. Noah has been cultivated, and it may not be impossible to make a strong resistance to the Miami Big Three. You must know that in his first year with the Bulls, and the only year when the lineup was healthy and neat, he suppressed Wade and James in the Big Three to less than 45%, and the former even almost fell below 40% in the series.
What is this concept? Wade and James are both super basket attackers, and their shooting percentages are the top on the outside, and both of them are at the peak of their bodies in the 10-11 season, but just like that, the shooting percentage is pressed like this? The Bulls' defensive system is evident from this.
If it weren't for that round of the series, the new MVP Rose played bullshit, shooting only 35%, and only 1.4 of 6 shots from the three-point court, then that year's series would have had a fight.
In this game, Kobe Bryant was ready to fight a vicious battle, but the situation was still beyond everyone's expectations.
