131. Tangled OK combinations
When two superstars are competing to score on the same team, if both of them can shoot, there is nothing wrong with you coming to one and me coming to the other, and even the Lakers occasionally arrange such a style of play, relying on one that is close to the league's first outside line, and the other is the personal ability of the strongest player in the league, and when the tactics can't be opened, they rely on these two superstars to win alone.
But when the two stars don't score much when they play alone, they have to play all the time......
Kobe Bryant was made so confused by the discord card that he didn't want to communicate with O'Neal at all, and Liu Mang used the role of the discord card to further incite Kobe's emotions, so that Kobe Bryant wanted to compete with O'Neal......
"Derek, give me the ball!"
"Derek, pass it to me!"
O'Neal and Kobe Bryant both asked for the ball at the same time for Fisher, who was in possession of the ball, and Fisher was so desperate! Simply pass it on one person at a time.
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal should not have that kind of magical idea, but now the two of them feel that one votes for the other is right! Whoever scores more wins!
Originally, the Lakers' 16-12 start was not too good, but it was not bad, they were the famous "aristocratic disease" team that won the first three quarters and the fourth quarter all at once, but at the end of the first quarter, except for O'Neal who scored two goals, Kobe Bryant played iron again and again under the three-man cooperative defense.
When the Hawks found out that Kobe and O'Neal came to a ball alone, the defense was called an extreme, Kobe Bryant took the ball three people over, leaving two to grab rebounds on the inside, O'Neal took the ball, and the four people pressed up......
The Lakers can't run, O'Neal is so fat and can run, but he has a lot of physical exertion, and he often played fast offense in the first two years, but this year it is basically gone, Robert Horry, Fox, and Samaki Walker are all old and can't run.
As long as the Lakers can't shoot, the Hawks immediately counterattack, and the Lakers shoot, and the Hawks immediately counterattack.
Jason Terry ran the happiest behind Liu Mang, the two of them, one for you and one for me, all three points for layups!
At the end of the first quarter, at the end of the first quarter, the Hawks successfully launched a wave of 14-6 scoring shockwaves, 26-22, and successfully overtook the difference by 4 points!
After the start of the second quarter, it was Kobe Bryant who came on the court with several bench lineups.
The Lakers' second lineup is Kobe Bryant's ability to score support, to say that the Lakers in the 21st century began to win the championship, the lineup has really not been good, who can imagine a three-consecutive championship team, only 3 players per game average double-doubles?
The Lakers have averaged more than 8 points per game this year, and only 4 have scored more than 7 points, O'Neal, Kobe, and Fisher have averaged double-doubles per game, Fox has averaged 7.5 points per game, and none of the others have exceeded 7 points.
This is another reason why the OK group has such a big reputation, and this team is all pointing to these two people.
Kobe Bryant brought Lynch Hunter, Mitch Richmond, Robert Horry, and Mark Madsen up to compete against the Hawks' five-small lineup, but the Hawks' five-small lineup in this era is the "pioneer", and no one can compete with them in the five.
Before, there was O'Neal on the inside to limit Raheem to play very badly, except for scoring 6 points in a row at the beginning, and then he could only go to the bag O'Neal, and now O'Neal is down, and he is mad when he sees the same players, and he kills all sides on the inside!
Kobe Bryant is very good, after O'Neal got off the court, he returned to his normal style of play, and he had assists and scores, but he couldn't stand the Hawks running so happily, the Zen master wanted to rely on a small lineup to support until O'Neal came back after resting, the Lakers' traditional style of play team was really not suitable for a small lineup, and was suppressed by the Hawks!
If Kobe hadn't started the regular Kobe time in the second quarter, the point difference would have been widened!
In the eighth minute of the second quarter, as Liu Mang hit an empty three-point shot when Kobe Bryant went to help defend Rahim, the score on the court became 47-38, and the Hawks led the Lakers by 9 points!
This is a score that the Eagles didn't even think of before they started!
Merely......
The fans were already buying food for half-time and drinks for the second half.
What a big deal!
9 points only.
Television commentators weren't surprised by the difference.
"Charles, China's Liu has hit another 3-pointer! It's already 12 points, and the first half hasn't finished yet, have you seen the dancing video of China's Liu? Do you want me to engrave it on a disc and give it to you? ”
Barkley is so bad, the Lakers are "playing" again, it's okay to be serious early! Didn't this play well in the second quarter, Kobe Bryant also passed, and his teammates were very active, but the opponent's strange lineup played too strangely, and if O'Neal was there, he couldn't play.
However, what made Barkley even more painful was that after O'Neal returned, the Lakers returned to the way they were in the first quarter, and Kobe Bryant and O'Neal didn't like anyone......
……
……
O'Neill is playing a petty temper, he is very depressed, and he is not happy not to give the ball!
How cute Kobe Bryant was when he just entered the NBA! looks like a second Jordan, with good skills and good physical fitness, and at a glance you know that it is the embryo of a superstar, why is it becoming more and more uncute now?
Seeing Kobe Bryant's difficult outside play, O'Neal was still a little excited!
If you don't pass it on to me, I won't come to you to block it!"
Watching Bryant's ridiculously deviant long-range mid-range shot, O'Neal was ready to jump up and grab the rebound...... Exercise!
O'Neal couldn't jump, with a Ratliff and a Rahim hanging from him, and Muhammad grabbed the rebound!
Another counterattack from the Eagles!
Fisher and Kobe Bryant ran back to the end of the ball, and Jason Terry chased after the ball and hit a three-point shot!
It was the third minute of the fourth quarter, the score was 81-65, and with Jason Terry's three-point shot, the Hawks managed to stretch the deficit to 16 points on the road!
Finally, the fans on the scene, who were originally very calm, were a little confused, why is it the fourth quarter, and there is no trend of chasing points?
The Lakers have always played in the regular season, and even some playoffs where the opponent is not so strong, playing in the first three quarters, chasing the score back in three or two clicks in the fourth quarter, and finally forcibly taking away the game with the overwhelming ability advantage of the OK combination, but today in the fourth quarter, the OK combination is still not OK!
The Zen master called a pause!
What the Zen master is good at is not tactics, but is good at bringing out the strength of the team's superstars, even at a super level, and no one can compare this ability with him except Popovich.
The Zen master wondered that usually Kobe Bryant and O'Neal had contradictions, and they were not so exaggerated! He can also use Kobe's dissatisfaction with O'Neal to activate Kobe's fighting spirit to make Kobe play better, while O'Neal, although he is cautious, is not so obsessed with players, mainly to activate Kobe's strength.
But today neither of them will pass the ball, and they will play together one by one!
Let the two of them lead the team alone?
The Zen master rejects this idea, the OK combination is definitely not an OK combination when it is separated, and the Lakers are not the Lakers who have won two consecutive championships.
The Zen master asked Kobe and O'Neill to communicate on their own.
The long timeout is relatively long, the Zen master communicates with others to run, the triangle offense regular time is to create space for role players, the critical moment is to serve the star's run, the goal is to create an impossible opportunity for Kobe and O'Neal to be trapped, and at the critical moment, Kobe and O'Neal's position is in the three-second zone, and the other is on the free throw line on both sides of the 45-degree angle single.
Bryant scored 23 points on 8-of-24 shooting, and O'Neal scored 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting, accounting for more than two-thirds of the Lakers' scores.
Kobe, who was only thinking about competing with O'Neal, found a huge difference of 16 points at this time, and he was a little anxious.
Overall, Kobe Bryant is more mature than O'Neal, more mature from the beginning, O'Neal from the beginning of playing basketball to becoming a commentator after retiring, he will always be a child mentality, and the reason why Kobe Bryant can't get used to O'Neal is because he is too mature and doesn't understand what O'Neal's child mentality means, such a good talent is not good for weight loss training, so lazy.
So, Kobe Bryant decided to ease the relationship with O'Neal first......
……
Everyone on the Eagles' side is excited!
With 9 minutes left in the game, a 16-point lead, and in the current state of the Lakers, winning is basically nine out of ten!
Liu Mang is also very excited, Corey Brewer's star Ka is much easier to use than he imagined! The ability to fight back is not blown! Although the laughing mamba loves to laugh, but it's not the mamba anyway, it can be 50+ in a single game, and sure enough, there are two brushes, Liu Mang now has 19 points, 3 boards and 5 assists!
Every time Liu Mang attacks now, he wants to shout: "The cavalry company is dispatched......"
"Ding...... The discord card effect ends, and the subsequent effect has a long-term effect depending on the personality of the target being used. ”
"Huh? Well! Liu Mang immediately stood up, having a bad premonition!
At this time, the quarrel on the Lakers bench came over!
"Shaq! When the hell are you going to stop playing your childishness? "Kobe's roar has reached the bench next door!
Not to be outdone, O'Neal roared angrily: "Wait for you to pass the ball!" ”
"Is that going to break up friendship? How to play the game! Kobe Bryant shot back, saying in his opinion that he couldn't play without a blue game.
“……”
Suddenly, both fell silent.
"Actually, it's okay for me to pass the ball...... Yes...... Still no! "Kobe Bryant suddenly became so tangled.
"You can't pass the ball...... It's okay, I'll just make up the deduction! "O'Neill is so entangled......
