Chapter 138: Only One Left on the Field (2/3)
After the opponent's Webb and Samuel came on the court together, the 76ers' interior line suddenly strengthened a lot! Webb would have been more capable now if it hadn't been for the impact of the surgery in previous years!
And now, it's not a problem to play the Lakers' interior line! Because of O'Neal's absence, the players on this side of Philadelphia can attack the Lakers with impunity!
The Zen master meant to see how far Zhou Yang could fight today. Cook's reaction just now illustrates his concerns. If Brown were to go up, it might be about the same as Cook!
Webb is not only excellent in rebounding and offense! He also played well on the defensive end and on passing the ball to his teammates! Such a center is terrible! Unless someone is found to suppress him, how many people can be in the alliance who can suppress him?
Odom certainly has some strength. But it's still more tender compared to Weber. So one of the main problems the Lakers will face in this game is how to defend against Webb, and the other is how to deal with Iverson......
After getting Webb, the 76ers have a lot of confidence here! Although there are not many players in their team who can play, and the relatively good Iguodala and Korver are also very young, it still does not hinder their determination to fight!
Jackson tried to control himself at this point. It took almost 30 seconds to see the players come back before they spoke.
"Devon go up, Cook get out of the break"
"He deserves a break for this game!!" Kobe Bryant is not angry at this time! He replied as soon as the Zen master had finished speaking.
"Can you show some respect?" Jackson stared at Kobe Bryant for a few seconds before Jiang looked back.
"Multi-pass and play coordination, the opponent's current state is not suitable to score on the inside," the Zen master turned his head and walked back after speaking.
Last season, Jackson still has an impression. They came to Philadelphia to play, and as a result, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant quarreled on the court! In the end, both were put on the bench by him, and the Lakers were also taken directly to garbage time by the 76ers on the road.
And now Kobe's temper is up again, and the whole team has no sleep to compete with him. Kobe Bryant and O'Neal are the team's biggest stars.
The pause ended immediately. The players are back on the pitch again. Zhou Yang felt that the current Kobe Bryant seemed to be deliberately unwilling to win this game.
At the beginning of the game, as long as the team score is not too much, it is nothing. But Kobe Bryant is very sensitive to the mistakes of his teammates!
After Zhou Yang got Fisher's pass, he rushed directly into Weber's defense, but the opponent came directly to a big hot pot!
"Cook is down, you're next!!" Kobe Bryant said to Zhou Yang without anger.
"It's not sure who goes down first!" Zhou Yang glanced at Kobe Bryant and walked away.
"Are you talking to me?" Kobe Bryant walked straight over and dragged Zhou Yang, but he directly shook Kobe's hand away! The fans at the scene let out a heckling sound when they saw this scene.
"Look, Jackson is going to replace you soon. Don't want to mess around with this team, do you? Kobe Bryant laughed angrily and still didn't give up on Zhou Yang!
"Your offense is powerful, but you don't have teammates in your eyes" Zhou Yang was a little impatient and ignored Kobe Bryant after saying a word.
"Next time I train, I'm going to teach you who is on this team and who has the final say! Dare to talk to me like that."
"Then wait! I'm just a newcomer to this team, and I don't think what you said is important" Zhou Yang, who came here and just wanted to play with peace of mind, immediately went back to the past.
"Say a few words, you two!!" Fisher yelled at this head a little angrily, and then Iverson on the other side ran over with the ball.
Iguodala wanted to make a layup after getting the answer to the pass, but Zhou Yang directly cut it off! After the two fell to the ground, Zhou Yang sat on the ground and passed the ball to Xiaoyu. Bryant hit a three-point shot after receiving a through pass from Fisher in the front court! 7:6!
"You can only pass the ball, and the one who ends up scoring is me? See? Kobe Bryant swaggered in front of Zhou Yang after shooting the three-pointer and said.
"Without his pass, you wouldn't have scored this time," Fisher said coldly as he looked at Bryant.
"When the basketball is in my hands, I can score! And you don't need someone to pass it around! Bryant stared into Fisher's eyes and said word by word.
Fisher rolled his eyes as he turned. How did his brother change back again? Wasn't it good in the last game against Spurs? What Xiaoyu didn't know was that Kobe Bryant did that last game because he wanted to brush himself up on more statistics other than scoring......
The Zen master of the conversation between the two people just heard a few words. I probably understood what it meant. No matter how Zhou Yang fights back in the game, Kobe Bryant will not do anything to him.
And Zhou Yang's ability to get Kobe's attention like this also shows that this Asian player is indeed powerful!
Why didn't he Kobe say Wharton, why didn't he say Vujacic? just grabbed Zhou Yang and didn't let go. The main thing is that this player has been shining since he first entered the NBA.
Agent Leon's vision over the years also feels like a big explosion of character! James can buckle! Anthony can rush, Paul can pass, Zhou Yang can score!!
For the current state of the two people, the Zen master still thinks it is quite interesting. Two people might be able to rub some kind of chemistry in such a state! If it's on the good side, the game will continue, if it's the opposite, then someone will definitely go down.
Answer: After half time, facing Fisher, he jumped directly and stepped on the line for 2 points, hollow into the net!
Score to the sideline serve to Zhou Yang. Kobe Bryant immediately asked Zhou Yang for the ball, but was directly refused.
After getting to the frontcourt, the players on the 76ers side were also a little confused. How is this Lakers going to play? Didn't you keep giving the ball to Kobe?
This Asian forward player is very bold~ When the players at the end of Philadelphia were a little uncertain, Zhou Yang jumped up directly and hit a three-point hollow shot! 9:9! Kobe Bryant didn't say anything this time, just ran back in hatred.
He's going to see how far this Asian player can play! See what he does after the team loses! But immediately after thinking about it, he played well when he wasn't on the team.
After thinking about it like this, he returned to the state just now, that is, he couldn't let this guy steal his limelight! Webb got the basketball and was directly interfered with by Odom when he dunked under the basket!
After the basketball was dunked, Zhou Yang got the ball and began to dribble through the half court!
"Pass! Who said to pass the ball more?! Kobe Bryant suddenly shouted to Zhou Yang not far away.
"You don't know how to pass, so the number of passes to you won't be too much" Zhou Yang calmly finished speaking, and then faced Korver's defense, and directly stepped back to shoot 2 points! 11:9!
More than once, Kobe really wants to go over and beat this kid up now! But if he did it now, it would be a joke. Will a superstar in the league fight a game because he is jealous of his good performance in the first grade?
It's a shame if such news were to go out. And the Lakers are now making subtle changes. Everyone seems to be standing here with Zhou Yang. It made Bryant feel like he was back two years ago!
Look at this meaning, maybe I will have to leave the Lakers before O'Neal in the future! After not getting a basketball a few times, he gradually began to calm down. My mind began to think of what his psychiatrist had said to him.
At such a time, it feels like the sound of the players' shoes rubbing against the ground, the shouts of the fans and the voices of the players on the field are about to disappear.
How often have you been so isolated? The last few years. Perhaps, as the psychiatrist said, I am not isolated. Kobe Bryant kept thinking about these questions in his head.
In the past few rounds of the game, fans were also surprised to find that Kobe Bryant couldn't get the ball! Odom and Zhou Yang began to score frequently! The two of them pulled out and shot on the outside, and now the accuracy is still okay.
No one dares to talk to Kobe Bryant now. Because I'm afraid that he will suddenly curse people immediately. Fisher has witnessed Bryant's crazy swearing several times. Immediately the first quarter of the game was over. 29:20!
Jackson looked at the players who came back, Kobe Bryant didn't look at anyone, and went straight to the bench and sat down.
"Wharton, you replace Kobe Bryant in a moment. The tactics are the same, rest you guys. Jackson glanced at Kobe Bryant a few times and said to Luke beside him.
"It's really a substitution, and it actually let me go. It's ridiculous......" The camera is focused on Kobe Bryant, and he is just there looking down and thinking about his thoughts.
The current Lakers desperately need the players to cooperate with each other! The 76ers currently have great players on the inside and outside! And if the Lakers Odom goes down, he can basically only rely on scoring!
Kobe Bryant can't do this well, so he can only go sideways! He's got a lot of stats, but he can't win this game. It's as if Philadelphia wants to win, and Kobe Bryant is there alone.
Such a situation is rare with the Lakers! When Zhou Yang and Kobe Bryant were on the field at the same time, this time everyone chose Zhou Yang! There have been similar things before, but very rarely.
O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are two people arguing on the court, and their teammates are watching them as if they were watching the excitement. And now, some players feel that what Zhou Yang said is right. If you want to play today, you need to work harder on coordination.
You Kobe Bryant alone is cool, but what about the result of the game? The Lakers have Kobe, but the other side has Webb and Iverson!
"The other side is still having problems internally. It's good for us if they have a quarrel. The Lakers are very different now than they used to be. When O'Neill is around, we can give them garbage time. What's more, there is no need to worry too much about such a team now. Just let go of the offense......"
Another thing the 76ers coach didn't say was that he felt that Jackson was deliberately not letting Kobe play now.
Maybe it's Kobe's "troublemaking" or something else. Anyway, morale is much higher on the Philadelphia side now.
In the second quarter, the 76ers replaced Korver with John. On the Lakers' side, Meme, Cook and Smush played. The Zen master wanted to see if Cook was a waste No. 3 as Bryant said.
If Cook still doesn't play well without Kobe's interference, then it's almost okay to consider letting him go to the second or third team in the future.
For Cook, he thought he wouldn't be able to play a single game. I couldn't believe my ears when the Zen master called him!
"Same as Jackson said. Our aim is to pull out the gap and score quickly! Zhou Yang immediately walked over and said seriously to his teammates!
Iverson dribbled across half court and hit a three-pointer between Cook and Wharton! 32:20!
The Lakers are already trailing by 12 points. Kobe Bryant watched the game quietly at this time. "Without me, you're going to go into garbage time in the first half!" Thinking about this, Kobe Bryant suddenly laughed, and no one noticed.
And Philadelphia really wants that! Two strong interior players are holding the rebound and the interior defense! After Zhou Yang took Smush's ball, he suddenly accelerated and rushed directly towards Samuel!
After hitting a penalty ball, it was 2+1! 32:23! Some players on the 76ers' side are starting to feel uneasy.
Zhou Yang has reported on this guy in the media. When Kobe Bryant and Big Shark are not on the team, this kid's offense is really powerful!
His scoring can sometimes feel hard to defend! After John got the ball, he passed the ball to Webber in the backfield, who saw that Zhou Yang didn't take it too seriously, and after dribbling the ball directly, suddenly the Asian player lowered his head and the ball in Webber's hand was stolen!
When Iverson saw it, he immediately rushed over to cut off Zhou Yang's ball and passed to Iguodala, who jumped up and shot directly, but suddenly his eyes widened and watched Zhou Yang snatch the ball in the air......
Although the opponent has strong players present, Zhou Yang, who is already a C-level qualification, is also out of the way! At this level, you can still fight with the current NBA players! And he also has skills, what are you afraid of?!
When the 76ers were in a mess, Zhou Yang jumped up directly in the front court and hit a long-distance three-pointer!! The difference has narrowed to 6 points!
"Why does this kid's three-point shooting look so much like Fisher?" At this time, the Zen master found out who Zhou Yang's three-point action looked like. It seems that this kid has studied the Lakers a lot. Jackson thought to himself, feeling a little comforted.
It's rare for a player to be able to play in the NBA so hard and get along well with his teammates!
Looking at some of the stars in the league, although they usually have a slight difference in the content of their efforts, they have made such achievements because of their hard work.
This Zhou Yang is still the top three in scoring among the rookies this year! The lowest newcomer is ranked third! It's usually the first place in the rookie score!
It's no wonder that some players are now jealous of Zhou Yang! Some newcomers have been in the league for two or three years, and they have never been in the top ten of any data!
The Lakers bench is starting to buzz right now. The team played like this in the second quarter, and maybe it was overtaken! Everyone's attention was focused on the court, but the camera on the big screen was focused on Kobe and Iverson from time to time.
