Chapter 154: MVP's obsession

At the break in the first quarter, the Zen master didn't say anything to the team, but at the beginning of the second quarter, the Zen master pressed Kobe Bryant to the bench, and the KFC grandfather proved that he was now very dissatisfied with Peter Pan.

Volute's face was pale, although this move seemed to the outside world to be fine, he played the entire first quarter, and it was reasonable for him to rest now, but he had just told Phil Jackson that he was going to continue playing.

The Zen master replaced Gasol and Bynum in the last half of the first quarter to rest, and the second quarter came up again to replace the two with sufficient physical strength, which was originally a rotation lineup that could hit the rocket by surprise, but today Adelman in order to play a fast attack small lineup, in the first quarter also replaced Yao Ming and Randolph to rest, at the beginning of the second quarter, the little giant and the big black bear also appeared with a group of substitute lineups to play, crookedly broke the Zen master's plan, the Zen master said that he was very injured.

The Lakers are not afraid of the Rockets in positional battles, but they also have no advantage, and the sister-in-law has always felt that she is better than Yao Ming, because every time he is in the World Championships or the Olympic Games, the Spaniards can always have a beautiful performance in the face of the Chinese team, but the teammates around the little giant at this time are not the rookies of the national team.

Gasol scored a close-range shot, Yao Ming was beaten with a small hook for one, his sister-in-law shot from a mid-range shot again, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and scored a dunk, the first half of the second quarter of the Rockets and the Lakers completely became a performance stage for two international insiders, Da Yao's attack power was better, but the sister-in-law's high-level strategy ability was outstanding to revitalize the whole team, and the competition between the two did not distinguish the winner or loser.

The stalemate continued until midway through the second quarter, when Adelman brought back a half-rested fast-break lineup with plenty of energy, and the Lakers were a little stretched again.

Their big lineup has no rebounding advantage in the face of the combination of Totoro and David Lee, and the speed can't be improved, Zen Master has tried to use Shannon Brown, Vujacic, Ariza, Bynum, Gasol and other relatively small and agile lineups to compete with Adelman, but Totoro's strong impact is also exposed, and no one in their lineup can stop Totoro's body.

This is a supergiant, or the ability that a supergiant seedling should have, faster than you is not as strong as you, stronger than you is not as fast as you, excellent physical fitness is a necessary condition for a superstar, and then the technique is a little better, for example, there is a stable three-point shot or something, there is a sharp breakthrough, and the emotional intelligence is a little higher, that is a proper historical supergiant.

Kobe Bryant was pressed to the bench by the Zen master for a full quarter, and the Rockets stretched the difference to double digits, and the Lakers still only trailed by 13 points when the Rockets were in such good shape, which is already considered a great way for them.

My Neighbor Totoro had 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the half, and if he continued to play on this momentum, his seventh triple-double of the season was stable today.

Other players Yao Ming had 12 points and 3 boards, Randolph had 10 points and 3 boards, Iguodala had 6 points, 1 board and 6 assists, David Lee had 12 points, and the Rockets scored 36 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and they destroyed the Lakers' defense with shelling tactics.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Zen master still put Kobe Bryant up, although in the locker room at halftime, there was no progress in his communication with Peter Pan, but even a famous coach like him could not press Kobe Bryant on the bench for the whole game.

Instead of being condemned by the boss's fans and the Bass family in the back, it is better to release the volute that has been holding back a section of anger now, maybe Peter Pan will be on fire, and then one person throws in 5 or 6 three-pointers or something, won't the Lakers turn the tables?

And in order to cooperate with Kobe Bryant's all-out offense, the Zen master also put out a strange formation of big Gasol + Odom + Ariza + Shannon Brown, which is the best talent and the best defensive lineup that the Lakers can make up at present, the Zen master means nothing else, that is, Kobe Bryant, you attack hard, and everyone else is responsible for defense, look at you alone. If you can't beat the 5 people opposite.

Kobe Bryant, who held back a whole section, was terrible.

Throughout Kobe's entire career so far, including his rookie season, he has never been pressed on the bench by the coach for the entire quarter, which is a shame for him with strong self-esteem, and even more shame for him who has long been famous in the league, he hates Phil Jackson, just like the Zen master hates himself, and the reason why Peter Pan works with him is just for the sake of the championship.

So, now he is full of anger, but he will not pour out this anger on his teammates and coaches, he regards basketball as his life, he regards victory as more important than his life, what he has to do now is to attack and attack, use his historic scoring ability to redeem the Lakers' disadvantage, and use practical actions to tell the Zen master that he is wrong, and the choice he made in the first quarter is the right one.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Volute did not let Shannon Brown, a genuine playmaking guard, touch the ball, he ran to the baseline and slapped his palm at Odom, who was serving, how dare the lama hand the ball to someone else?

However, Kobe Bryant didn't work the first shot, but he unusually gave it to Gasol on the inside.

Totoro immediately came out from the wing to help David Lee wrap his sister-in-law, Gasol saw that the opponent's defense speed was ridiculously fast, and he didn't dare to come hard, and he passed the ball back to Kobe Bryant on the outside.

According to the usual boss, this ball will be shot nine times out of ten.

But now Peter Pan is obviously not in a normal state, after receiving the pass back, he didn't hesitate to throw the ball back towards Gasol without saying a word, and immediately looked at his sister-in-law who was about to grab the rebound.

What the hell is this?!

Gasol didn't have time to think about it, Totoro and David Lee one after the other, one was responsible for the front hard top, and the other was responsible for side interference to lock all his ball routes, in order to avoid this kind of mistake that would be counted on his head, the Spaniard had no choice but to carry two people to shoot, and this ball also lost himself to being a pervert with a height and arm span, otherwise he would be 100% squatting on the side for a long time to face the hat.

It's just that the ball was thrown smoothly, but the goal should not be extravagant, Iguodalaka Odom and Ariza grabbed the rebound, and Totoro once again rushed to the front, receiving a long pass like a football quarterback and scoring an easy layup.

"Hey......."

Zen master said that he is so tired, of course he knows what trick Kobe is playing, this is the precursor of the boss to infinite singles, generally Kobe will pass a few balls to his teammates at this time to let them attack, and then shoot when they can't score, if he wins the game, then he is a hero in the eyes of fans and the media, even if the game is lost, he can also find an excuse that his teammates are too scum, and the media will definitely catch him when his teammates can't throw in this point to make a fuss, help Kobe clean the ground, Who made him the city icon of Los Angeles?

One ball, two balls, three balls, Kobe Bryant almost passed all four teammates on the court, anyway, the ball was in his hands, he could pass whoever he wanted, and no one could avoid the attack, but Kobe's group of teammates didn't all waste the boss's pass, Shannon Brown did have a big three-point back in front of Lowry, and the volute fed him another one in the next round of offense, and he couldn't smoke the second time.

"You scumbags!"

Peter Pan scolded in his heart, in this state, he looked at who and which of his teammates was not pleasing to the eye, including Gasol, who he had been abducted and tricked, Kobe Bryant's eyes widened angrily, and when the difference between the two teams reached 20 points, he finally made a move.

A very unreasonable ultra-long-distance dry pull three points, a back-to-back two points after a back-to-back single, followed by a 1v5 pull-up layup, and a textbook fake throw fraud foul to play 2+1 success, Kobe Bryant scored 10 points in 1 minute and 23 seconds, quickly narrowing the difference from 20 points to less than 10 points.

The consequences of the boss going against the sky are very serious, Adelman hurriedly called a timeout to make Kobe's hot hand feel cold, except for the last Totoro who helped defend the four balls, he has no experience, and the other defensive teammates have no big problems, Kobe Bryant can get in that is his personal ability, which has long been a non-war.

"Don't care about Kobe, let's still follow the tactics arranged before the game, rest assured, no matter how powerful he is, he is a flesh-and-blood person, we just need to attack by ourselves, can't you five people combined beat Kobe Bryant?"

Adelman gave Totoro their chicken soup for the soul, but this bowl of chicken soup for the soul is not poisonous enough, except for those simple-minded black players, Totoro and Yao Ming didn't take it seriously at all, the old coach said this is pure nonsense, a superstar like Kobe Bryant plays alone, how can the other four people not be able to overtake the score? Iverson single-handedly reached the finals back then, and Adelman arranged it purely for his own face, for fear that changing tactics would affect the majesty of his coach.

At this time, the head coach's order should be to focus on Kobe Bryant, anyway, everyone can guess that Peter Pan will not pass the ball out at this time, even if there are five people in front of him, Kobe Bryant has to play five balls to show you.

So after going on the court, Totoro didn't follow Adelman's orders at all, he had his own little plans, like setting a trap for the volute or something, getting a big blood cap and letting Kobe Bryant send him to the top five balls as his background to make an appearance.

But before he can be clever, he has to complete an attack first.

Adelman brought Yao Ming and Randolph up, and the Rockets resumed their regular lineup, after all, the Rockets are not a team known for their bombardment, and this kind of strange formation is okay to beat people by surprise, but if you use the style of play that you have not been good at to play with a strong team like the Lakers, it will be a little too contemptuous of others.

Battier serves to Totoro, and Odom comes out from the inside to stick to him, but before he can get to Totoro, a wide yellow-skinned figure blocks him tightly.

"Quick, stop him!"

Odom said to Bynum, and the little shark rarely reacted quickly, but how can a fat man weighing 270 pounds stop a Totoro whose speed is comparable to that of a shooting guard?

My Neighbor Totoro got the ball outside the three-point line one second, and ran near the free throw line the next second, the poor little shark couldn't catch up with the Totoro with a catapult starter behind his ass even if he chopped off two legs, Gasol wanted to come over to block it, but Totoro didn't wait for the Spaniard to settle down at all, and he took off after only one step into the free throw line.

The sister-in-law had to stop helplessly, because at this time he went up to touch the other party was a malicious foul and didn't run, and if Totoro forcibly buckled the ball tightly, it would be difficult for him to be a tragic background emperor like Boozer at that time, the poor anti-bone boy is still lying in the hospital, but the video of Totoro stepping over his head was played by fans over and over again.

"Boom!"

Another morale-boosting dunk, Totoro used this actual free-throw line dunk to make the already crazy Toyota Center fans fall into a climax again, everyone raised their arms to Totoro to make a bow and worship posture, and many fans at the scene cheered MVP, and the originally expressionless Peter Pan on the side suddenly burst into a bruise after hearing it.

Kobe Bryant has a lot of honors, three consecutive championships of the KO group, the league's active scoring champion, the champion of the slam dunk contest, the highest active single-game scoring record holder, etc., but he is such an excellent superstar, but his number of MVPs is pitiful, and he has not had a regular season MVP or Finals MVP in the league for more than ten years, and the All-Star Game MVP has won three, but this is not of any soft use.

This year's Peter Pan's performance is still brave, playing an average of 27.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.4 steals per game.

"Let him in, you just have to control his shots, and I can handle him!"

The emotional changes on Volute's face were palpable, and Totoro couldn't help but be overjoyed again when he saw the good assists of his fans, and he quietly pulled Iguodala over and whispered something in his ear.

"Really, are you sure?"

Brother Yi didn't believe his ears a little, Peter Pan was in great shape today, and he had scored nearly 30 points in front of him and Battier, the two best defensive giants in the league, which is a very humiliating thing, but there is no way, who asked Adelman to give them the task of defending Kobe Bryant? Now that Mr. President has gone down to rest, the drudgery naturally falls on his head.

But now Totoro is going to take the initiative to take over the pot, and Iguodala says in his heart that he won't be too badly abused so he has auditory hallucinations, right?

"It's okay, I'm sure, I'll take care of the coach's side if something happens!"

My Neighbor Totoro replied with confidence, and the first brother immediately nodded in agreement, as long as there is My Neighbor Totoro's words, everything will be fine.
