Chapter 323: The First Verse as Always
June 18th.
The battle for the seventh has officially begun.
Orlando's home Amway Arena was already jubilant, Qin Yang high-fived Lily when he came on the court, and saw several female stars who looked familiar.
In this game, the ratings are super high, and many stars have come to mix up their faces.
Especially the stars who are about to release movies during the holidays, they all came to mix up the shots, and there must be a special media report after the game that the upcoming movie XXXX starring XX came to the NBA Finals to grab the seven battles.
Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.
During the warm-up time, Qin Yang turned around and went to find Kobe.
"Kobe!"
Qin Yang stood in front of Kobe with a smile, opened his arms, and the eyes of the surrounding audience and the media turned to Kobe and Qin Yang, Kobe Bryant's face was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated to hug Qin Yang.
This is hugged by others, and it will seem very rude for you to refuse directly.
But when hugging, Qin Yang whispered in Kobe's ear:
"Bryant, this game, I'm waiting for you to prove it."
After speaking, Qin Yang directly let go and turned to leave, while Kobe Bryant's face was extremely gloomy.
The game is about to begin.
Coach Phil Jackson gave a rare cry:
"This game is played according to the original plan, Kobe, you reduce your offense with the ball, mainly play without the ball, actively grab rebounds, and pass to teammates when you encounter a bag, we win this game."
Coach Phil Jackson rarely speaks, and as a Buddhist coach noted by the NBA, Phil Jackson's closed-mouth meditation practice has reached an extremely high level.
Whether it was the Bulls' Jordan winning the championship, or the OK team winning the championship, or the Lakers winning the championship last year, Phil Jackson rarely said anything to the team.
Questions? It's okay, you guys adjust it yourself.
But this time, Phil Jackson spoke up, not because he wanted to speak, but because he couldn't talk anymore, the Lakers won the championship last year, and Kobe Bryant could let the ball play well and play tactics.
Because that's something that can't be helped.
With the three-high lineup of Pau Gasol, Omdo and Bynum, the Lakers are a real back-to-back battle, and if they lose, Kobe Bryant's reputation as the second leader in his life will not be lost.
At that time, even if Kobe Bryant wanted to play alone, he could only endure it. ,
In order to win the championship.
But this season, after winning the championship, Kobe Bryant's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he is more and more obsessed with singles, and after Artest joined, Kobe's singles can't help but not decrease, but increase, and the average shot per game is more than last season, which is unbelievable.
Kobe Bryant was unwilling to endure it, and Phil Jackson could only say it.
Coach Phil Jackson was so tired.
Kobe Bryant didn't answer with a cold face, and Phil didn't bother to speak.
The game begins,
Howard took the lead and directly turned the ball over with an overwhelming advantage, Bynum's strength was obviously weaker, and he was less dominant than Howard.
The Magic attack.
Qin Yang directly held the ball and singled, and Artest followed Qin Yang closely.
After the crotch crossover, Qin Yang relied on Artest's body to break through directly, Artest was very strong, but Qin Yang broke through like a butterfly.
Kobe Bryant assists in defense, stand in a good position.
Qin Yang jumped up directly and made a quick move.
Sou!
The basketball entered the frame, and Qin Yang lightly hit a mid-range shot.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant singled Barnes with the ball, Kobe Bryant singled with his back, the rhythm was very good, he used the rhythm to break through successfully, and scored directly under the basket.
This kind of skill is really not grasped by ordinary players.
The Magic attack.
Artest let go half a step away, Qin Yang continued to dribble under his crotch, accelerated the breakthrough after the emergency stop, and then suddenly changed direction in Europe, and taking the ball was a layup.
Under the basket, Pau Gasol assisted in defense, Qin Yang threw the ball to the rebound, and Howard jumped high under the basket and directly took the basketball and dunked it.
bang!
Slam dunk to score.
The Lakers offense, three-pointers from the outside.
Artest's three-point shooting can only be used as a conventional weapon, and the shooting rate is not high. Even if there is a vacancy with many positions, the hit rate is still very tight.
Rashad Lewis got the rebound, Qin Yang dribbled directly and made a sharp stop outside the three-point line.
Qin Yang was a little anxious to shoot this ball, the basketball hit the iron, Kobe Bryant was strong enough to rebound, and the Lakers attacked.
Bryant ran to Pau Gasol after passing to him, and the old fish Fisher received the ball and passed the ball to Artest, who squeezed Petrus away and scored a layup.
The Lakers are indeed too strong, Artest was also a 20+5+5 small forward at his peak, and his scoring ability is also very strong, a bit similar to James.
Find the slightest chance and the Lakers can score.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang ran without the ball, covered Petrus and then got Petrus's pass, and shot directly, but this time in order to avoid Artest's defense, he shot too fast, and the basketball hit iron.
Bynum grabbed the defensive rebound.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant ran without the ball and assisted Gasol to hit a hook shot.
Rashad Lewis was very frustrated by the goal.
The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang finally found an opportunity to assist Howard to dunk and score, and by the way got a 2+1, Bynum reached out and fouled at this time.
Kobe Bryant stared at Bynum coldly, not knowing what was spraying in his mouth.
Bynum's face was ugly.
In the next round, the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant hit the iron, Bynum was strong enough to rebound, and seeing that Kobe Bryant in the empty position did not pass, he directly forced the iron to hit the iron, and Howard turned around to get the rebound.
"Do you have a lot of in your head?"
Kobe Bryant sprayed directly next to him, and Bynum drooped his face and didn't pay attention to Kobe.
Everyone knows that Kevin Garnett sprays teammates, but Kobe Bryant's teammates are not inferior at all, and most of the superstars who became famous after 00 years have better personalities and can be people, so it is rare to spray teammates like this.
The Magic attack.
Qin Yang shot quickly outside the three-point line with the help of cover, and finally hit, and the score difference became smaller.
……
The first quarter of the game was about as expected.
The Magic team is very strong, but there are still some gaps compared with the Lakers, the Magic team is strong in Howard, and the outside projection and defense also have their own characteristics, but the Lakers are really strong.
The starting five Tigers can make up five All-Stars, and under normal circumstances, other teams don't have to play.
The lineup gap is too obvious.
But the Lakers only led by four points in the first quarter.
The Lakers obviously had a problem, Kobe Bryant endured it and didn't make a shot, Bynum made two mistakes and was angry by Kobe, the relationship between the two was not harmonious, and the others did not stand on Kobe's side.
The Lakers are not united enough, and that's the biggest disadvantage.
"Bruce, you rest in the second quarter and then break out." After the first quarter, Van Gundy said this, but this time, Qin Yang directly refused.
"Coach, let me play!"
