Chapter 192: Battle of Details
Although the outside world says that the 76ers are not good, it seems that they have fallen out of the ranks of the strongest teams this season, but Phil Jackson still believes that the 76ers have strong strength, and if the Lakers are rushing to win the championship this season, then the 76ers are a Finals opponent that the Lakers have to consider.
Probably the biggest obstacle on the way to winning the championship.
Therefore, Phil Jackson took this game very seriously and stood up to be a conductor at the beginning, which is very rare in his career coaching resume.
His gaze swept across half the court, then over the players who were playing, and rested on Wang Mingming, who was sitting down to rest.
At this time, Wang Mingming's eyes also came, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and there seemed to be a bright spark in the darkness.
The Lakers' lineup is very strong, and Wang Tomorrow suddenly found that the Lakers' second team led by Odom could even fight with the 76ers.
You know, the 76ers are usually known for their large number of bench bandits.
Kobe Bryant has been in good form in the past two years, and when he participated in the Beijing Olympics, he faced the pressure of the Spanish team, and a crucial three-plus-one to save the American team from danger, which was impressive.
Throughout the Olympic Games, he and Wade played at the MVP level and can be called the star of the stars.
Iverson's state is a little bit lower, just like his rating, entering the peak of his career, although he can still maintain the level of an All-Star, he can still cut high scores, and he can have a wealth of experience on the court to help the team, but it seems to be a little worse than the supergiant form of the previous two years.
The scores of the two teams were scorching and inseparable, and at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the 76ers by two points, 25-23.
Coming up in the second quarter, Millsap played particularly aggressively.
Especially at this time, Bynum and Odom form the twin towers, and Millsap is not afraid.
9 minutes and 23 seconds in the second quarter.
Millsap faced Odom, turned with the ball, Odom's defensive pace was a little slower, and Millsap was directly erased by Millsap and rushed into the interior.
Millsap faced Bynum, who was recovering the defense, and a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Immediately hold the ball in both hands, take a step forward, and jump high.
Bynum thought that Millsap would definitely pass, and the few times just now, Millsap did this, but I didn't expect that this time, Millsap was so rigid, he took the ball directly and flew up regardless of it.
"Find the hat!"
Bynum yelled and jumped as hard as he could.
Millsap's hands turned into one hand, and he raised it a little higher, and one hand reached forward and smashed it into Bynum's face, while the wrist holding the ball went down, and the speed was suddenly a layer faster.
Bynum dodged it, his arms raised high and the arms of Millsap's dunk staggered.
"Bang dang!"
Bynum screamed in the air, and when he landed, he covered his face.
Millsap shook the basket so hard that the whole rack shook violently.
Landing on the ground, Millsap let out a vicious breath and his eyes were full of ferocity, he yelled at the camera, and then turned his head to look at Bynum.
At this time, Bynum had already removed his hand and looked at Millsap, who was about to eat people, and for some reason, his heart shrank slightly.
The one who was supposed to be upright has also become weak-hearted.
"Isn't it very jumping before the game?"
Millsap squirted.
Bynum: "You ........"
The referee passed between the two men at this time, glanced at them with a warning gaze, and Millsap spread his hands and retreated arrogantly.
In the NBA, Millsap is a different person.
Under Wang Mingming's tutelage, Millsap has become a bench bandit for the 76ers, a morale booster, Millsap is a new generation of "vicious dogs", playing fiercely, and is one of the biggest contributors to the 76ers winning the championship, in Wang Mingming's mind, he can even rank second or third in the 76ers.
When he first entered the league, players of the level of physical fitness like Millsap abound in the NBA, but after two or three years of training, Millsap has become as strong as Iguodala, and even because of his inside-level weight, his strength is better than Iguodala, and he is the No. 1 player in the 76ers team.
Better than Gasol and Durham Porter.
Back in the half, Bynum wanted to get back on the field.
So aggressively ask for the ball, jam Durham Potter, and spread your arms on the edge of the box.
"Bang!"
After he has the ball, he turns and hooks his hand.
Dareham Potter leaps high and stretches out his long arms, creating a serious distraction.
The basketball brushed out of the frame, Millsap stuck Odom, took the rebound under the basket, and then he advanced with the ball, and after landing, the entire 76ers were a little faster than the Lakers.
Up front, Willie Green received a long pass from Millsap and rushed inside like a small tank.
With this impact, he knocked away the defender and picked up the basket and hit the board.
"The impact of the 76ers is too strong, this group of lads is really athletic, and under the tactical system of Coach Wang Mingming, everyone is running." Yu Jia exclaimed, then glanced down at the information in his hand, and continued,
"On the court, Kyle Lowry and Willie Green have two assault backcourts, small forward Iguodala, big forward Millsap, and center Durham Porter, this lineup is simply the Philadelphia track and field team."
"Yes, the effect of this lineup is very good, the Lakers were a little stunned, and the score was overtaken by the 76ers, for such a championship-level team, there is no need to be careless!" Zhang Weiping said, and then brought the topic to Kobe: "Phil Jackson should be replaced by Kobe Bryant at this time, Kobe Bryant can't play, this game can't be played." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a pause, and Kobe Bryant came on the court.
Wang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, Phil Jackson is worthy of being the top coach in the league, and the timing of grasping the fighter is very accurate, Kobe Bryant came on the court just when the 76ers were about to take off.
Even if Kobe Bryant didn't exert his strength, the Lakers' bench lineup stabilized, and at this time, the 76ers had a slight lead.
Both teams have their own moves, and both have places where they can't help each other.
Wang's killer move was in the final quarter, with Andre Iguodala switching to Kobe.
Iguodala is the most powerful gate on the outside of the 76ers, Kobe Bryant has been used to Saflosa's defense, and suddenly replaced the rest of the defense, and suddenly he is still a little unaccustomed, plus Iguodala is full of energy and has no foul trouble, and the defensive end has greatly interfered with Kobe.
Although Bryant still scored 11 points in the final quarter, it was not very efficient.
As a result, the Lakers were also at a disadvantage in this detailed contest, and finally lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 97-101.
The 76ers scored the most points with Iverson with 21 points, while Lakers Bryant scored 31 points.
After beating this game, the 76ers had a better record, gradually moving up the rankings again, and slowly re-squeezing back into the top of the East.
