0949: [Treat the heat as cold as winter]
On April 12th in Los Angeles, it was cloudless, very clear, and the temperature was rising, and the warm breeze from the Pacific Ocean was refreshing.
The Chicago Bulls also felt the warmth of the City of Angels.
When ESPN's commentator Bill Wharton saw Kobe Bryant walking into the arena with a thermos cup through the video signal, he immediately frowned, this is not simple.
"Kobe Bryant shouldn't be called Black Mamba now, he should be called Healthy Mamba at all. With the way he plays, I feel like he'll retire later than Snoopy. Bill Wharton complained: "He's been playing very loosely in the last two months. It's almost a fight and a loose rhythm of two. Looking at his state tonight, most of the time he is going to be loose. ”
This shows that Snoopy's transformation of him has been successful. It also shows that he has complete trust in Snoopy, and finally he doesn't have to strain his nerves like a tireless hedgehog to go all out in every game. ”
Reggie Miller's thinking is a little different from Walton's, and he is very supportive of Kobe's style of play: "I believe that Lakers fans are very much in favor of what I think now. In fact, since Black Mamba announced that Snoopy was the core of the Lakers, he has taken a back seat. And the major rankings also ranked him in the top ten or even top fifteen in the league early, since this is the case, he should have spare energy to fight. ”
"The most important thing is that now the Lakers are in charge of everything, and he must have allowed and even forced Snoopy to do this. I believe Snoopy! ”
Reggie Miller was a hardcore Duke supporter throughout.
In a way, he's even hardcore than Barkley of Yutai.
……
As predicted by the two ESPN commentators before the kick-off, the Black Mamba is healthy again tonight. What they didn't expect was that Snoopy was also on her health tonight.
It can be seen that the three top decision-makers of the Lakers are all making the ball for the inside, and they are constantly handing opportunities to Milicic, Whiteside, Jordan Hill, and Carlos Boozer.
This made Bill Wharton very difficult to understand.
"Do the Angelenos think they can compete with the Chicago Bulls on the inside? The Bulls have one of the most flashy interior lineups in the league, and arguably the deepest interior lineup in the NBA in the last decade. ”
But.
Questioning is questioning.
The Lakers didn't play badly inside, with Milicic playing to his advantage against Joakim Noah and Dwight Howard, and even played a beautiful Serbian dance move in the second half of the second quarter.
As for Whiteside, he played in style, and when he played against Pau Gasol, he used his tough defense and positioning ability to make Gasol uncomfortable.
Lakers fans at the scene even recalled the scene in 2008, when Gasol was made by Perkins and Garnett to be a person inside and out.
However, the mood at that time was worrying and uncomfortable.
Right now... Call! It's really refreshing to be a sister-in-law.
In addition, the likes of Jordan Hill and Carlos Boozer also did their jobs in their bench time.
Although most of the Lakers' interior opportunities are forcibly created by the outside, it also proves the fact that the Purple and Gold are now a team with no obvious shortcomings. At the beginning of the season, those who claimed that the Lakers were a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people except for Kobe and Snoopy, were all slapped in the face.
Although the Lakers have been playing and making trouble this season, they have not delayed the slightest bit of business.
This is the Purple and Gold Legion under Snoopy's command.
By the fourth quarter, the Lakers trailed the Bulls by just seven points.
This leaves the narrators with infinite reverie.
But at this time, Duke Snoopy, who has averaged 42.5 minutes per game this season, said he was tired. He told McBrown that he wanted to go back to the locker room to rest.
McBrown didn't quite understand what Snoopy meant, and he was nervous enough to ask the team doctor to come over and check Snoopy's body.
However, the Black Mamba stopped him. Who else knows Snoopy better than Kobe Bryant and in the Lakers' lineup? He slept with Snoopy last night, and as a pillow man, he understood Snoopy's mood very well.
So, he accompanied Duge to leave the field.
Steve Nash saw that the other two in the Senate were not fighting. He doesn't play anymore.
So, after entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers directly sent a bench lineup.
This made ESPN's Bill Wharton quite incomprehensible: "Is garbage time coming now only seven points behind?" Kobe Bryant and Snoopydou haven't really been in full swing tonight! ”
Reggie Miller shrugged, he probably guessed what Dugg was thinking.
With Dugg's charisma, when the Bulls and Heat are fighting for the first place in the Eastern Conference regular season, he will never stab the Bulls.
Although, professional sports are all about winning.
But this season, the Lakers are not entirely record-oriented, which is why the Purple and Gold have completely let themselves go in the second half of the season. And most importantly, the effect that the Lakers want to achieve or want to show in this game has been completed, and they have verified their interior level through the Bulls' luxury interior group.
"If we meet in the finals, I'll give it my all."
Dugg walked into the locker room and told the Black Mamba with the thermos cup.
The black mamba unscrewed the lid, blew softly, and then expertly drank a sip of the goji berries, and he nodded. He understood all the motives for Dugg to do this, this is a man of affection.
"Do you think the Chicago Bulls can beat the Miami Heat?" Bryant asked suddenly.
Dugg pursed his lips, and before tonight, he thought the Bulls had a big win over the Miami Heat.
However, after playing this game, he felt that the Heat might have a better chance of winning.
Because, he told Milicic three little things, Milicic completed them all: grabbed the frontcourt rebound on Howard's head, and completed a turnaround dunk in front of Joaquin Noah. And, fast-break outpacing all opponents.
These are three small things, and Milicic's standard has improved significantly this season, and he is already a veritable first-line center in the league.
However, this ruthlessly shows that the Bulls' interior strength is not as strong as it appears on paper. Moreover, they still have not solved the problem of coexistence.
Tom Thibodeau still couldn't play a good hand, he didn't know how to be flexible, and he couldn't settle the tension in the locker room. Speaking of which, there is still no experience in love: how can a single dog in his fifties handle the intricacies of a locker room? A master like a Zen master, who is still soaking Jenny Bass at the age of seventy or eighty, is the master who can calm out all kinds of thorns in the locker room.
In comparison, Thibodeau is the kind of coach who can serve 70 points of food if you give him 60 points, and when you give him 90 points of ingredients, he can only serve 80 points of food at most.
"Perhaps. The Bulls coaching staff would be better off DNPING Howard directly. Snoopy said seriously: "However, they don't have the courage to put a suit on the league's No. 1 center. Actually, you see it too. Howard's presence made Joakim Noah, Pau Gasol, and Tygibson uncomfortable. They didn't form a centripetal force, which caused a very lack of complements between each other, which is why Darko was able to score almost 20 points tonight. And Miami's strongest thing is penetration, when the Bulls' interior line is fighting on its own, Miami will really easily defeat them. ”
"All I can do is... Let them be the first in the regular season in the East, with home-court advantage. ”
The little duke said in a serious way: "If the series between them goes to seven, I think the Bulls have a chance to win." And just five or six games, Miami has a bigger chance of winning. ”
Bryant took another sip of goji berries.
He felt that Dugg was right in everything he said, and whenever Snoopy gave him an analysis of the playoff situation, he behaved like a schoolboy. Because in this area, he really doesn't have the logical thinking ability to coordinate the overall situation, which can also be seen from his style of play.
The Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers game was over quickly.
122:109。
In the end, the Bulls also won by only 13 points.
Despite the lack of the trident, Artest, Byron Davis, Jamison, Korver and even Carlos Boozer all played eye-catching in the fourth quarter, and there was even a picture of Byron Davis shaking off Rose and rushing in with a one-handed slam.
I have to say that after the madness of the second half of the season, these old guys are getting more and more neat, their mentality is getting younger and younger, and their playing style is getting more and more profligate.
Reggie Miller even said in the commentary box: "These old guys give me the feeling that they can take over the game at any time, even though they're very old. ”
"So, how far do you think the Lakers can go in the playoffs this year?"
Bill Wharton asked.
Reggie Miller thought for a moment and said seriously: "It depends on whether they can cross the San Antonio Spurs." The Spurs have basically locked up the first place in the West, and their strength this year is not to be trivial. And it's an odd-numbered year again! ”
"If they can beat the Spurs, they have a 65 percent chance of winning the championship!"
Reggie Miller finally gave his answer.
Bill Wharton laughed three times and said, "You're too optimistic. I don't even think they can cross the thunder. Don't forget, the playoffs are next. The physical exertion of the playoffs is not comparable to that of the regular season. The fitness of their older players is a huge test, as is the experience of the younger players. ”
"While the Lakers have a promising future, at least this year, they don't have a chance to make it to the final battlefield."
Bill Wharton gives his opinion.
The two are always at odds.
This is also one of the charms of basketball.
……
When the Bulls returned to Chicago from Los Angeles with a two-game winning streak, the Miami Heat followed them in Los Angeles.
Their schedule is almost identical to that of the Bulls. The difference is that the Bulls beat the Clippers first and then the Lakers, while they beat the Lakers first and then the Clippers.
With the Lakers' current solid record, it doesn't matter if they lose their last two games.
However, Dwyanwade had already planned it, and with what he knew about Dugg, it was sure to be a tough battle next.
And Pat Riley said angrily after the Lakers' loss to the Bulls: "This is completely a murder of the Miami Heat, and I can't understand why Snoopy and Kobe disappeared in the fourth quarter." They just want the Chicago Bulls to be the first in the East, they just want the Bulls to have a valuable home-court advantage, and this kind of behavior is extremely detrimental to the NBA, and the league must not allow such a thing to happen. ”
However, the alliance simply ignored him.
Ron Artest even came out directly to scold him: "Can you manage the heavens and the earth and still manage other people's sh-it and release pi?" Kobe Bryant was recently unstable before the glands were not very stable and went to untie the small hand. Snoopy went to the toilet because he had eaten too much before the game. Isn't it possible? Does Pat Riley think she's God? ”
"We're very angry at what he said, so we're going to give it our all in the next game and kill their pampering!!"
Byron Davis also jumped out to speak out, and emphasized: "Originally, we were all going to take turns off before this. It's my birthday on race day, and everyone is going to relax. But now, they've me off! ”
The two men's statements made Pat Riley angry at home: Is this my fault? Don't you deliberately find fault if I don't say these things?
He was right. Recently, there have often been deliberate touches within the Lakers to find faults, such as Ron Artest who is often banned for entering the training hall with his left foot first, who let him talk nonsense?
It's as if this time, he's clearly scolding Pat Riley.
But the most seriously injured is Kobe Bryant, what does it mean that the front line is unstable? It's been stable, okay? Can't you find some other reason? Said I went to the locker room to deliver toilet paper to Snoopy? Forehead... That sounds weird, too. But can't you just use your imagination?
This is also embarrassing for Atai, Atai has a little imagination, and he will not name himself charity world peace... These three words have a yarn relationship with him. He was beaten by his wife at home every day and couldn't hold his head up, and remembered to make his wife angry by changing his name. But where is his wife a fuel-efficient lamp, she still has to be beaten.
……
On April 14, Los Angeles was cloudy and drizzling, and the weather was as bad as if Americans were also starting to celebrate the Qingming Festival.
Anyway... The mood of the Miami players on the court is not much different from that of the grave.
They guessed that Snoopy would break out in this game.
But they didn't guess that Kobe Bryant would also heckle him.
In the opening game, Kobe Bryant came with two three-pointers, and he was like an old man walking in the park who suddenly threw away the thermos cup, and after a beautiful roundabout kick, ran to the stage and sang rock 'n' roll.
Where does this make sense?
Why play other teams and play so hard against us?
Miamians may have to call Oklahoma to confide in them, but the Thunder Couple took 10 bottles of red wine in Los Angeles last time. Although today is Davis's official birthday, no one invited the Big Three to attend.
Both sides are red-eyed and want to kill each other.
