Chapter 339: The Lakers' Helplessness
The red and white figure of "boom" slowly fell, and this time it was not Huang Xiang, but Jones, the No. 20 rookie outside the first-round lottery area this year. Bubble*()
After landing, Jones gave a thumbs up to Iverson and Huang Xiang, and the three of them performed very well just now, scoring two points for themselves. Thinking of this, Jones quietly raised his middle finger at Ah Tai, who had just whispered insults to him, but the time was only half a second, and others might not be able to see it, but Ah Tai saw it really and really.
Provoking Artest? And gave him a middle finger up? Jones was really bold, but today Artay didn't raise his fist in anger and go up and beat him indiscriminately.
Someone once studied the date of Atai's madness, for the 30 days of a month, they summarized the same cycle change, in their opinion, Atai's madness is like a woman's "big aunt" coming, it is regular.
And today, maybe Atay is a normal day, so he can tolerate Jones's repeated provocations against him.
However, Jones's performance today is really commendable, the game has been carried out so far, 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and the time on the court is not very long, but the results achieved are very comprehensive.
Throughout nearly half a season, Jones averaged 10.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.8 steals per game at this time, which is very successful for a rookie like this, but you don't overlook the fact that this is a statistic obtained when Jones' shooting opportunities are infinitely compressed.
In the Cavaliers, there are three who average more than 15 points per game, Huang Xiang, Howard and Garnett.
And Iverson also averages double-digit points per game, Williams averages 9.8 points per game, don't ignore it, such a quasi-double-digit score takes up a lot of shooting opportunities.
By the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers had extended their advantage to nine points, 77-68, and with such a lead, everyone rested comfortably.
On the other hand, the Lakers are heavy at this time.
The Lakers lost to the Cavaliers in their last game, and they vowed to win him back in the next game, but ...... Today it seems that victory is very suspenseful.
Huang Xiang didn't bring big trouble to the Lakers today, and all the Cavaliers today scored 56 points, and in the third quarter of the game, Howard had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block, Garnett had 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and even O'Neal had an amazing performance of 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Of the remaining eight points, Williams scored seven points, along with three rebounds and three assists. Hollins scored one point from the free throw, but with the exception of Hollins, the rest of the guys were perfect.
Such a group of inside villains are making the Lakers feel more and more cold, and the Lakers' two super insiders, they seem a little ......
Bynum, before today's game, was ambitious to teach Howard a tragic lesson, but this guy only got 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 turnovers, which made Brown a big headache.
And Gasol, his performance is even more unacceptable.
Gasol, as an All-Star, got 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in the first three quarters, yes, it's just such a little thing, if you find something else, then it's his foul, he has 4 fouls in his hands at this time, two to Garnett, one to Huang Xiang, and one to O'Neal.
With such a lineup and such a result, Brown really has the urge to go up and give them a kick, this is the All-Star performance that the Lakers are looking forward to? Such a result is completely a matter of standing in the position of an all-star and not daring to be an all-star.
"Okay, do you have any new ideas for the Cavaliers' interior line?" Looking at the two assistant coaches next to him, Brown said with a headache.
"This ...... There's really no good way, let's use it, but the two of them are no longer in a state like they're gone today, there's no way. Messi looked at Brown and said helplessly.
"It seems that the only way to switch to outside tactics is to switch to outside tactics, and today Kobe Bryant scored 18 points on 15 shots, and he is very in shape, so he can only rely on this guy." Brown thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said suddenly.
In the fourth quarter, with new tactics, Kobe Bryant appeared in the first lineup, such a deployment made many fans puzzled, but Scott did not react much, because Huang Xiang was also in the first lineup, the two walked into the court at the same time, looked at each other, did not say anything, and prepared to fight.
The Cavaliers took the lead in attacking, Gibson took the ball across the half court, looked at Huang Xiang with a puzzled look in his eyes, Huang Xiang shook his head at him, and then rushed through the penalty area and went straight to the inside, while Kobe Bryant followed closely with Huang Xiang, and the rest of the inside line also stared at Huang Xiang, this guy, do you want to be mad?
Gibson gestured to throw the basketball in the direction of Huang Xiang, but just as everyone went straight to the middle of Huang Xiang and Gibson, the basketball that Gibson was about to shoot was also retracted, and his hands changed direction and threw the ball to Williams on the side.
Williams looked at the basketball in his hand, a happy smile appeared on his face, and the beautiful small score was in hand again.
Because the Lakers' interior mourned earlier and focused on Huang Xiang, there was no defender in front of Williams at this time, and there were still 4 positions away from his nearest Joe Smith.
Without hesitation, get up, shoot, the basketball crossed the Nets and passed through the basket, Williams excitedly rushed at Gibson's buttocks, 9 points, haha, can break the double today.
The Lakers quickly handed over the basketball to Kobe Bryant in the halfcourt, Kobe Bryant received the ball directly for a three-pointer, and the basketball crossed the sky and went straight to the basket under the surprised eyes of Huang Xiang and others.
"Huh" the ball scored, Kobe Bryant's offensive method of playing cards out of common sense surprised Huang Xiang.
The general chasing of points does not bring this kind of play at all, but Kobe Bryant attacked like this, but it is obviously impossible for such an attack to have a surprise attack, Huang Xiang's defense has kept up with his rhythm, and he wants to do it again, dreaming.
After the Cavaliers couldn't attack and the Lakers took the rebound, the basketball was finally handed over to Kobe, Huang Xiang stared at the guy in front of him tightly, and stopped Kobe Bryant's offense again and again.
Kobe, who was eager to chase the score, saw that he was suppressed by Huang Xiang and could not break through, and he was very angry, and in a fit of rage, he directly used the once killer weapon that was not full of confidence, and made an elegant jump shot.
Seeing Kobe Bryant passing in front of his eyes, Huang Xiang was very helpless, in the NBA, not all tricks can be imitated.
I have liked to imitate the movements of NBA superstars since I was a child, but there are a few who can't succeed no matter how hard I try, such as Kobe's flowing jump shot now.
Such an empty shelf is easy to learn, but it is unimaginable to maintain such a hit rate.
There was no suspense about the basketball thrown by Kobe, and the stimulated Kobe once again showed his superstar strength, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket, and at the same time rolled up the applause of the audience.
Looking at Kobe's performance, many people also showed puzzled expressions, although Kobe's strength does not need to be questioned, but as he gets older, his strength is not as good as before, and in every recent game, Kobe Bryant is more than 20 points at most, however, every time Kobe Bryant faces Huang Xiang, the score will exceed 30 points, this phenomenon is worth thinking about some things.
"Back to light?" Huang Xiang looked at Kobe Bryant with a smile, this old guy, why is he so bullish, he didn't expect him to come such a hand at all, and he packed a ticket to defend him before the game, it seems that he still has to be more careful about this strong guy.
Kobe Bryant's performance was crazy, but the outside of the Cavaliers was not pressed down, Huang Xiang also assisted his teammates on the outside to attack again and again, until 4 points and 11 points in the fourth quarter, all the two sides returned to the court, and the two sides entered the final showdown.
Two teams with similar strength, if they really quickly divide the winners and losers, it is really not easy.
And the biggest reason why the Cavaliers can keep pressing the Lakers is that the Cavaliers' interior performance is too tough today, and Bynum and Gasol can't find the feeling at all, so when several interior lines return to the court again, the Lakers fans in the court all pouted.
Substitution? Brown also wants to do it, but the Lakers can take out the inside line, these are these two guys, who calls them giants with an annual salary of 10 million, however, today's poor performance, no one knows what the reason is, do you have to admit that you spend more than 20 million and nearly 30 million a year.
What still makes Brown have a headache is still happening, the Cavaliers interior combination composed of Garnett and Howard is still suppressing Bynum and Gasol, and the outside line, the combination of Huang Xiang and Iverson is also inseparable from Villebrook Kobe, so that the Cavaliers use his interior line to pull the score away again.
When the score increased to 13 points, Kobe Bryant also felt that his shoulders had no strength, it was over, the time was 2 minutes and 21 seconds left, looking at the crazy appearance of the Cavaliers, they were still very energetic, this game, lost again?
Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant glanced at Gasol and Bynum, two things that are not angry, today's game failed, all because of the two of you.
"Bastard" Kobe Bryant glared at Bynum and Gasol, and then walked to the sidelines and began to drink drinks.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Kobe Bryant got up directly, slammed the towel on the floor, and then strode towards the locker room, without looking back, handsome to the extreme, but at this time, his handsomeness was not accepted by people, they all looked at Kobe Bryant worriedly, the Lakers will not be infighting again because of this game, right?
With Kobe Bryant's departure, there is basically no suspense in this game, Brown replaced the main players one by one, and the Cavaliers also replaced Huang Xiang and others, the game is over, rest.
In the end, the Cavaliers won the game with the super performance of Howard, Garnett and O'Neal, and all three of them performed wildly, leaving a sentence in the hearts of many people watching this game: The inside line of the Cavaliers can't be provoked.
(The results are not ideal, but the sharks will keep writing it...... )
