Bryant scored 22 points in the half, which has put his Christmas game total above 400, but right now, no one is in the mood to watch this. Because of the big score behind, it entered garbage time early, which made Los Angeles fans worry.

It also makes the Lakers worry about themselves.

This is the most seeded team they have really encountered since the start of this season, and the previous Spurs and Thunder were all absent from the main players, so it was easy to harvest. For the first time, the Miami Heat let the Purple and Gold know the gap between them and the real strong teams.

Outrageously big.

Wade and Kobe's offense and defense, although the latter has the upper hand, but this advantage is really not enough to offset James and Bosh, and the other substitutes in Miami also feel good tonight, which made the Lakers fall into a collapse early. Tang Qian was better when he played in the first quarter, but as soon as Tang Qian rested in the second quarter, there was a problem immediately, and he was blown up inside and outside.

In the locker room, D'Antoni only said a few dry words, and then went to "study" the tactical board, because first, without a strong point guard, his tactical system can't be played, and secondly, the opponent is too strong, and Nash may not be useful. Trailing by 34 points at halftime was nothing short of a naked hanging.

Bryant stood up at this time and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, in the second half I played the No. 1 position, and the rest of the people were ready to catch the ball and attack. ”

D'Antoni was overjoyed when he heard this, because Kobe Bryant was good enough to do the job, but it turned out that they were thinking too beautifully.

Because except for Tang Qian, who also scored a little point, the rest of the people didn't have any baskets at all, and a little interference in the outside shooting rate would not work. The Miami Heat, on the other hand, have been the best defensive rotation team in the league in recent seasons, and with the mobility and ability of the Big Three, there are rarely particularly large openings. So the Lakers have a poor shooting percentage.

To make matters worse, Steve. Blake didn't play long in the third quarter when he twisted his ankle because of a rebound, and he was carried back to the locker room on a stretcher. Replaced by Jordan. Famar, who is shorter and has worse firepower, is not as good as Steve. Blake is good. Also, he was originally signed to play as a substitute, and if you suddenly want him to play the main team, he will naturally not be able to keep up. The height problem makes the Heat team eat more frequently, so it's not happy.

Halfway through the third quarter, the margin was not narrowed, but even widened.

40-76, a score difference of 36 points, the Heat Big Three all went to rest, because if they continue to fight, it will be a bit humiliating and easy to cause a fight. With the Madison Square Garden incident as a lesson from the past, the head coach of the Heat did not dare to take it lightly. Otherwise, once there is a problem and the possible Miami dynasty is ruined, the "God Operator" Riley will not let him go.

Even so, it's still desperate, after all, this score difference is a little too big.

With another shot from the outside, Kobe Bryant was annoyed and hugged Mario of the Heat. Chammoth, then deadball was timed out, and the Purple and Gold were all out to rest. At this time, the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers can even faintly hear some boos and cheers. This kind of sound is particularly "harsh".

. In the live broadcast room, Shaq. O'Neill kept saying, "How's it going?" Charles? Have you taken it? I'm going to say the Lakers will be burned, right? 36-point score difference, hehe, only one team in NBA history has completed a reversal in the regular season, that is the Utah Jazz in 1996, and the Jazz that year was the Finals team, this season's Lakers? No way. ”

Barkley also wanted to refute, but the score difference was too big, as O'Neal said, 36 points, only one successful counterattack in NBA history. And how many games have been played in the NBA? Numerous! This probability is basically smaller than winning $100 million.

Much smaller.

So Eric. Spoelstra's replacement of the "Big Three" makes sense, and if he continues to play, it is easy for the Lakers to lose control of their emotions.

And this game is still the biggest stage of the regular season, the Christmas war, there is no need to fight to the death.

Kobe Bryant sat on the bench, his eyes burned with anger, it was nothing to lose this game, the main thing was that this game made him realize that the Lakers this season are basically impossible to break out of the West and basically impossible to win the championship. Even the first round of the playoffs will be eliminated.

This is where he gets angry.

"Bryant, you can go a little deeper and pass the ball later, so that it may be better for the Heat's defense to be contained." However, before D'Antoni finished speaking, the Lakers broke out on the 24th, and directly interrupted: "Is it useful to break deeper?" Can I get the ball I pass? Can they break down Miami's rotational defense? Rotation speed? ”

This is a bit hurtful, but what Kobe Bryant inherited is the "incentive" of Jordan's model, not gentle encouragement, but tyrannical rule.

For example, our defense is like toilet paper, some players don't have brains at all, and you have to get XXXX honors to be qualified to interrupt me, and only then are you qualified to talk to me on an equal footing...... This series of quotes is Jordan's whipping mode. And in Los Angeles, this set is actually very useful, because the city of angels is also a fallen city, and there is no one to spur it strongly, only to fall apart.

Look at the 2-time champions who left Kobe, how many of them mixed particularly well? If my sister-in-law hadn't gone to the east, it is estimated that she would not have been treated so well. So sinking, temptation, is the other side of the City of Angels, and it takes a strong leader to lead everyone forward. Phil. Jackson has publicly said that the defending team (because Jackson has won three consecutive championships at other times, so it is not mentioned in a big way) is the least talented team of all the teams he coaches in all seasons.

If you look at the huddle culture that is gradually prevailing now, you will understand the meaning of the phrase "Zen master".

Bill. Simmons and Jeff. Van Gundy also discussed the Lakers team, and the final conclusion was that they all believed that if Kobe Bryant was missing, the Lakers in 07-10 would be an ordinary playoff team at most, and 2 rounds would be the limit. So Kobe's way of leading is actually quite correct in the Lakers, in Los Angeles. But...... This is no longer the case.

The Lakers team is a team that has struggled for a long time, and it is a team with team tacit understanding and common goals, that is, there are many real "Lakers" in it. So Kobe Bryant is doing this, which is indeed beneficial, it can stimulate the self-esteem of these people and make them ashamed and courageous. However, now, the situation is different, this Lakers team, except for himself and Tang Qian, most of them are "chips", all of them are one-year short contracts, and they are proper "mercenaries". You want to spur this group of people with a tyrant leadership model, that's a dream.

Jordan came, and neither could it.

Because this leadership model is only suitable for a stable team, Jordan was like this in the early stage of his career, isn't it useless?

Therefore, when Kobe Bryant said this, instead of having a "stimulating" effect, it made the morale of the already not high level fall and plummet. As I said, it's okay for this group of people to play downwind, but against the wind, you don't have to count on it.

Seeing this group of people wearing Lakers jerseys, so cowardly and bloodless, Kobe Bryant's eyes rekindled his anger, and his mind of changing the style of play just now was instantly dissipated. With this lineup, it's useless for you to let Kobe Bryant play the No. 1 position, there is no defense, there is no independent offensive ability, and there is no basket, which is the level of looking for abuse. The faster you play, the more you lose.

No one answered Kobe's words, which made the atmosphere in the Lakers' bench even more awkward.

In the past, there was an "old fish" Fisher as a regulator, and now, only Kobe Bryant himself.

And the Lakers are no longer the Lakers they were back then.

At this moment, someone spoke, not loud, but very powerful: "Shoot, so we still have a little possibility, if you don't shoot, it won't play the role of organization and tandem." As for the defensive end, let them in, that's the only way. ”

The person who spoke was the Lakers No. 29, he looked at the Lakers players next to him and said, "I know everyone can't prevent it, and they don't have that mood and mind, but it's still early to go to the locker room to take a shower." I just want to ask, who else wants to go up and fight? No matter who you are, what position you are, or what ability you have, you are willing to go up and work hard, and make a sound. ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Tang Qian continued: "This is an opportunity, Christmas War, if you can prove yourself, maybe you can fight for more playing time in the future, and what does playing time mean, I don't think you need me to say more, right?" ”

"Well, who wants to go up and play hard? Let me state first, if I agree to go up and play falsely, I won't be able to work. Tang Qian snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "Then don't blame me for not recognizing my relatives at that time and hurting the feelings between my teammates." ”

Under the gaze of Tang Qian and Kobe, someone finally "stepped forward", and this person was surprising.

He was none other than Robert. Thackeray?!

"You ......" is not only Tang Qian, Kobe Bryant was also taken aback, because in the Lakers, although this guy has grown 7 feet tall and has a good tonnage, 270 pounds, which is one pound heavier than the current Tang Qian, but ...... You ask the Lakers or Lakers fans, how many people have expectations for this guy? Except every time you wave a towel......

But few people know that he actually has a deep affection for the Lakers, and he works very hard in the training process, but his talent is not very good, so the ceiling is not high. But this guy is actually very righteous and passionate, and of course the price is super cheap, so the Lakers management has always been willing to renew his contract.

But in the game, really, really, the Lakers' No. 50, there really doesn't have much presence.

Even Tang Qian often ignores him.

"I, I want to try, can I? Bryant? Scald? Thackeray smiled awkwardly, it seemed that it was the first time he had been so noticed on the Lakers, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. Tang Qian and Kobe Bryant glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Of course you can, as long as you are willing to work the field, you can." Will you fight hard? Robert? ”

Thackeray saw that he had really won this opportunity, and he was also a little excited, and said: "Of course, of course, hot, you see, you see, I have a new Chinese tattoo on my arm." Thackeray turned his left arm, and Tang Qian found that on the inside of his triceps, two big Chinese characters were tattooed, which together were called "faith".

"Faith? Yes, Robert, it's a good Chinese word, and it has a deep meaning. Seeing that this guy actually had Chinese characters tattooed on his arm, Tang Qian's favorability towards him inexplicably improved: "You guys, we need players who can work hard, right, Bryant?" ”

Kobe Bryant didn't speak, just nodded slightly, which was considered to be agreed.

"Is there anyone else?" Tang Qian asked.

Someone took the lead, and soon there was a chain reaction, and the second person was Jordan. Famar, his reason is very simple, he has won two NBA championships with Kobe, and he is also a real Laker. Tang Qian and Kobe Bryant both expressed their appreciation, because although Famar did not defend well tonight, it does not mean that his enthusiasm is not good, it is just a matter of ability.

The third man is Jodi. Meeks, although he also said a few beautiful things in his mouth, but mainly for the playing time, in order to "brush" the data. But as long as you are willing to play seriously and don't grind foreign workers, then what is the motive, in fact, Tang Qian doesn't care.

"Okay, five of us are ready." Tang Qian said: "Our job is to defend, defend seriously, defend 100% hard, if you receive an open ball, don't hesitate, you must make a decisive shot, understand?" ”

"Good! We will! The three of them agreed at the same time.

"Mr. Black Mamba, it's mainly up to you on the offensive end, OK, right?" Tang Qian asked deliberately, he was also an "inferior agitation method". However, Kobe Bryant is a very "agitated person", you don't care if he is intentional or unintentional, anyway, the Lakers No. 24, he said at the time: "Do you think there is a problem?" ”

"Wade is not an ordinary person, he is recognized as the third and fourth quartile in history, right?" Tang Qian said again.

"So what?" Kobe Bryant's eyes became cold and said: "I have only one opponent in the division." ”

"Well, I know, it's just that Wade has 18 points now, isn't he? It's only four points away from you, Mr. Mamba. ”

"I'm going to get more than half of his points on his head tonight." After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, he drank the sports drink with a straw, don't think it's a bit undomineering to drink with a straw, in fact, this is a "protective mechanism" set up by the NBA to prevent players from suddenly drinking too hard, in case of physical problems.

"Okay, then I'll see." Tang Qiandao, how do you know that just after speaking, the 24th also turned his face and asked, "Hot, I'm afraid your data tonight is also a little shabby, right?" Did you forget to eat dinner? Or are you not able to handle the Heat's interior line? ”

Flyback me? This black mamba is really learned and sold.

However, it also has an appetite for me!

Tang Qian twisted the lid of the drink cup, and then took a big sip and said: "Bryant, it's not fair for you to say that, the Heat felt too good in the first quarter, and I couldn't get a few rebounds, right?" I didn't play in the second quarter, and the data was almost there, so it's not surprising. But since you've said so, I'll make a pre-game announcement as well. ”

Tang Qian stretched out his finger at Kobe Bryant and said, "At least 20 rebounds and 10 blocks." What do you think? ”

Kobe Bryant laughed: "It's not enough, it's not enough for your average rebounds per game this season, and the blocks are not satisfactory." ”

Tang Qian's current half-court data is 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and the rest of the time is not easy to cut 13 rebounds and 8 blocks, but No. 24 said so, Tang Qian was not ambiguous, and said directly: "30 rebounds and 15 blocks, how?" ”

"Deal." Kobe Bryant said happily at this time, in fact, he didn't want Tang Qian to really do such a data, he just wanted to motivate him, after all, this team, the person he trusts the most at present, is No. 29.

He knew very well in his heart that without the help of No. 29, the Lakers now don't know if they can win 10 games, let alone the third place in the West. Coupled with the latter's use of mysterious "qigong" to return him to the top for a year, these factors made Kobe Bryant pay special attention to him and like him extraordinarily.

Therefore, the requirements are naturally stricter.

Seeing that the offensive and defensive cores were "fighting each other" like this, Thackeray also came to the momentum and said: "I, I will not hold you back, and I will definitely play the best performance of my career!" ”

Drop~ When the timeout time came, Kobe Bryant put down the sports drink in his hand, patted Tang Qian's shoulder and said, "Enough rest, it's time to play, don't drag me back on the defensive end, it's hot." ”

Tang Qian smiled: "You are, Black Mamba, don't drag us back on the offensive end, the team's interior defense, you don't need to worry too much!" Mind your own business! ”

For a while, the two of them actually exploded, and this feeling was very tacit.

However, the Heat didn't know it, and since the number of fouls in the third quarter had not yet arrived, they only executed the out-of-bounds serve.

Basketball has just been sent to Mario. In Chanmos's hand, a dark shadow swept past him, and then cut the basketball from his hand together.

Bang~

Mario. Chanmos looked back and saw that the Lakers' No. 24 was already hanging from the basket.

42-76。

However, because it is still 34 points behind, the Staples Center did not make too many waves.

The current lineup of the Heat on the court is PG Mario. Money, Moss SG Norris. Cole SF Ray. Alun PF Rassad. Lewis C. Chris. Anderson. It looks mundane, but on closer inspection, except for Chris. Anderson, the rest of the guys have the ability to shoot from medium to long range. This is still a "big and four small" high-mobility lineup, with good firepower.

It's just that the defensive ability has declined hugely, and it is far less invincible than the Big Three on the field.

The Heat dribble and attack again, playing blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, it seems that Mario. Chammos is not stupid either, knowing that he can't be blind in front of Kobe. One-on-one, no one on the outside line dares to say that he can overpower Kobe, even James, there are not many scenes where he beats Kobe Bryant. The main reason is that the regular season is all about offense and defense, and only the playoffs can become a situation where the signature stars fight each other, so the offensive and defensive shots of James and Kobe Bryant are not enough to make a large number of samples and videos. The two played misalignments most of the time, and there were few opportunities for head-to-head duels. Moreover, now that there is Wade at the No. 2 spot in Miami, it is even more unlikely that James will have too many head-to-head matches with Kobe Bryant in the regular season.

In the regular season, there is a regular season style of play, which is what every NBA player knows.

So the data of the regular season does not represent anything, don't you see that the Lakers easily killed the Magic to win the championship that year, in fact, the Lakers were "double-killed" by the Magic team in the regular season? So a lot of things, the data from the regular season, can't be directly copied to the playoffs.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant was so fierce this season, Qian Moss was stupid to just fight him, and honestly "admitted" to block and dismantle, which is the best way out. However, it is a pity that his teammates did not block Kobe Bryant in this ball, and Kobe Bryant forced it with his body, and then No. 24 began to play against Mario. Chanmos implements the "Kraft Candy Defense".

As I've said before, this is a kind of ball-holding defense that is a great threat to the ball handler, and Wade will be deflated when he encounters it, let alone a mere Mario. Qian Moss, soon he was forced by Kobe to make a mistake, and the basketball was broken for the second time.

Kobe dribbles wildly, Mario. Chammoth couldn't catch up at all, and he was stealed near the top arc, and the rest of the Heat team didn't have time to come back to help. In the end, I could only watch the Lakers No. 24 stage a one-handed split dunk again, and the Lakers scored another 2 points.

44-76, the score difference is still 32 points ahead, but Mario. Money's back-to-back turnovers allowed Heat head coach Eric to make a streak of turnovers. Spoelstra on fire. The latter stood on the bench and shouted: "Don't hold the ball for too long!" Get the basketball moving! Do you understand? Get moving! Don't stick to the balls! ”

It was the right decision, because to continue, there is only a share of continued mistakes, and under the defensive pressure of the super-peak Kobe, Mario. Chanmoss? It's just too much to see.

It's a good way to run, no matter how strong Kobe Bryant is, it's impossible to defend five on the outside.

Chanmos shook off Meeks, lunged into the basket with a lunge, then threw a basket and ...... Under a big hand hat that rises higher and higher.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant originally wanted to come by himself, but he saw No. 29 following up, so he had an idea, a feint, and then threw the basketball in his hand gorgeously. Kobe Bryant plays in this style, no matter what it is, he does it extremely good-looking, and it is not a deliberate style.

This really made countless people cry, because the gorgeous style of play is a huge foundation for attracting fans, if you play too ordinary, even if you are as strong as Duncan, then you have insufficient ability to attract fans. This bonus is really big, and fans buy tickets for the sake of pleasing the eye, isn't it?

"Birdman" Anderson wanted to intercept the ball, but found that his jump height was not enough, and he didn't even touch the hair of the basketball, and then the next second, he was directly knocked out by a huge force.

Bang dang~

Tang dives into the basket in the air! The Lakers scored 2 more points!

46-76, only behind ...... It's 30 minutes.

At this time, Ray. Allen stepped up, he didn't hesitate, he got up and down, shot a 3-pointer, brushed ~, and the basketball ran through the Lakers' net.

Hollow.

46-79, which made the momentum that the Lakers were just about to set off, and suddenly suffered a basin of cold water. Spoelstra also sat back in his seat. This man, nicknamed "Junzi Lei" and "Junzi Sword", is really cold, and he has often scored this kind of ball in his life, which makes the opposing fans hate it.

He glanced at Kobe, and there seemed to be a slight ridicule and provocation in his eyes.

Thunder. Allen is honest, he and Kobe Bryant have always had a disagreement and have not been able to deal with each other very well, and this has been since before he entered the NBA. It started in the Chicago Rookie Camp to be exact. Kobe Bryant said during the physical test, there is nothing wrong with my body, no injuries, nothing to check. This sentence makes Ray. Aaron heard it, and the latter suddenly said: That's because you're only 17 years old and haven't done anything yet. The subtext of this sentence is that you haven't played a few years of high-intensity competition at all, and you still stink.

Is Kobe Bryant's heart capable? Journalist at the time, John . Smuswood said that if the two young men hadn't had too many cameras next to them, they would probably have done it on their arms. Not to mention the back of Ray. Allen also publicly accused Kobe of "squeezing out" O'Neal and blasted Kobe for being selfish. And the truth of the matter is that in the future, Jackson and O'Neal both stood up and said that it was the decision of the management, and Kobe Bryant could only accept it. It can also be seen that Kobe Bryant does not have much say in the management at all, otherwise there would be no need to stage the "forced palace incident" in 07.

Lakers No. 24, well, Kobe, who was still No. 8 at the time, directly shook the words: Don't compare me with him, I will kick his ass in the future game!

Coupled with the confrontation of the 2 finals, the relationship between the two has never eased.

This explanation in Chinese is that the two do not look at each other, a little bit of incompatibility, and make a mistake.

Anyway, Tang Qian felt that Lei. Needless to say, Allen's ability is also an excellent 3D player now, but his character is debatable. Because in addition to Kobe, he also has conflicts with many people in the NBA, head coaches, bosses, former teammates, opponents, and can write a "league enmity record". I don't know who got the nickname "Junzi Lei", which is very incompatible.

Garnett and Pierce later confronted Ray. Aaron's attitude is also a stroke, this guy is far from being as kind as he appears on the surface. Look at the contradiction with Kobe Bryant for the first time, that is, he picked the head first, Kobe Bryant did not talk to Ray at all before. What did Aaron deal with? You are scolded by a person for no reason, can you be happy?

So after Kobe Bryant saw this look, he directly asked for the ball, pulled away and went straight to Ray. Alan.

Thunder. Allen also defends Kobe with all his might, and the physical contact is great, but now Kobe, he can't just do it.

No. 24 crushed with his back and then shook the thunder. Allen, a spoon licking basket into the net, 48-79.

"You think you can keep me? Rookie camp doesn't work, Bucks doesn't work, SuperSonics doesn't work, Boston doesn't work, now ...... Not even more. After Kobe Bryant landed, he faced Ray. Aaron said that he and this guy have never been polite.

Thunder. Allen saw that he was leading by 30 points anyway, and the Big Three were not on the court, so he decided to play a response ball and return one to Kobe.

However, the way he responded to the ball was very "LO", because he used the help of pick-and-roll, or 2 times, to pass the 24th and enter the Lakers' restricted area.

Thunder. Allen made a low-handed layup, but after all, he was still too old and no longer had the explosiveness of his youth, so the shot was ...... was grabbed by the Lakers No. 29 and then thrown to Kobe Bryant, who was fast for the first time. Kobe Bryant's single fast attack, he did not choose a safe 2-point shot, but a left-sided three-point shot, basketball, brush ~, and enter the net in response.

At 51-79, the Lakers pulled the score back to 20+.

"Hey, you're too old to challenge me, so let's be honest next time."

Forget about being ridiculed and hit by Kobe, what are you? Thunder. Alun said unceremoniously to Tang Qian: "Dongfangyan, don't be too complacent. It's just a ball. ”

Tang Qian saw Lei. Aaron's tone was also changed to a sneer, and he responded: "Californian, you have the ability to cast in front of me a few more times, I'll let you know what it's like to be covered as a dog." ”

"What did you say?" Thunder. Aaron said angrily: "Do you owe a beating? ”

Tang Qian did not retreat but advanced, condescendingly looking at the shorter Lei. Aaron said: "I should say this to you." Californian, do you think this is still Boston? Do you think you still have Garnett and Pierce backing you? ”

"See reality! Now I can't stop you from beating you! Got it? ”
