Chapter 278: False Fire
Chapter 278: False Fire
"Are you trying to ask me why I gave up this game at that time?" Phil Jackson looked at Kobe Bryant, who was still a little immature, and said with a smile, listening to Phil Jackson's words, it was not only Kobe Bryant's suspicious look, even other people pricked up their ears, and before the game started, they made a bold statement that they would abuse the 76ers.
swept the 76ers out of the game directly 4-o, but the current situation is not quite right, the 76ers not only won the game at the beginning, breaking their words that they would sweep them 4-o, but also broke their unbeaten golden body of 11 consecutive wins in the playoffs and 19 consecutive wins in the regular season + playoffs, which made everyone a little unacceptable.
Although the other players are not as straight as Kobe Bryant and did not say it, they are also a little dissatisfied with Phil Jackson's arrangement, after all, they have a chance, not a complete lack of chance, if they lose by more than a dozen points, then they admit it.
But they are only eight points behind, in fact, as long as they successfully play a few balls and successfully limit them, they may not have no chance.
"Would you like to hear a reason for this?" Looking at Phil Jackson's pretended to be mysterious, although Kobe Bryant has never been very interested in Phil Jackson's set, but now he still nodded very seriously, he wanted to hear Phil's opinion.
"In today's game, we don't have a chance, but why would I give up the game! The problem is mainly with the newcomer...... "Phil Jackson finished speaking, and took out a chess piece from the tactics board next to him, before the game started, he always thought that it should be Aaron McGee who appeared in the scoring guard position, but he didn't expect anything to say that it was Jiang Yang! They already knew about Jiang Yang's joining, but it was really difficult for this person who had never played a game to attract their attention, so they focused more on Aaron McGee.
Originally, Jiang Yang replaced Aaron McGee, and they didn't care very much, but during the game, they knew Jiang Yang's strength, Jiang Yang's offense can be regarded as the second best in the entire team now, and the first best is naturally Allen Iverson.
Although his hit rate is not as high as Jiang Yang, he is the soul of the whole team! Today he also played with momentum.
Originally, there was only one AI in the 76ers, and the Lakers were not afraid, but now with Jiang Yang, they just have to be hearted.
And it seems that this guy's defense is also not weak, and he limited Kobe Bryant very well today, very dead.
Although his performance looks eye-catching in Phil Jackson, there are not too many people paying attention to it on the court, except for his violent dunk across Uncle Mu and O'Neal, it can be said that there are no bright spots, but even so, he also got a 2o+ score, and it is precisely because of Jiang Yang that Phil Jackson did not let the players chase points again.
"This guy is like a killer hidden in the dark, always giving you a knife at the most incredible time, I ask you, if you are chasing points, seeing that the game is about to end, and being caught up, but he suddenly came out to kill, or buried their hard work, can you still show today's strength in the next game?" Phil Jackson is a very smart coach who knows what it takes to convince his players.
Although the finals are very important, but it is only the first game, and there is also the unstable factor of Jiang Yang, so they can't take risks, listening to Phil Jackson's words, the other players nodded unconsciously, of course, there are also unconvinced, like Kobe.
"And you have to know one thing, the core of the opposing team, Aaron Iverson, is a player with a lot of ups and downs, and he scored 48 points today! What's next? When the false fire of his rush to the finals is vented, it will be time for us to fight back! He here will be our breakthrough point! Jiang Yang's desire to become the X-factor is not so easy! Phil Jackson pushed his glasses and looked at the players in the room and whispered.
In Phil Jackson's view, it is well worth it to trade a loss for the opponent's offensive routine and defensive focus.
"Kobe, next game, AI, J is for you!" After looking back, Phil Jackson said to Kobe Bryant, who was sitting there and still had some grievances, listening to Phil Jackson's words, Kobe Bryant, who was restricted by Jiang Yang today, couldn't help but light up.
Although he was very miserably restricted by Jiang Yang today, in his heart, his real enemy was always that Philadelphia guy.
"Okay coach, just give it to me!" Looking at Kobe's belligerent look, Phil Jackson shook his head gently.
There are two guys in the team who are so persistent about victory, and I don't know if it's good or bad...... And both of these guys are geniuses.
At this time, in the hotel where the Philadelphia 76ers team was staying, Jiang Yang and the others were celebrating the victory of the game.
In the first game, a win for the Lakers is already very happy for Larry Brown and the 76ers, and Allen Iverson, who scored 48 points today, has become the focus.
Not only when he was at the press conference, but he was surrounded by media from all over the world, and even when he returned to the hotel, he did not rest. The current AI,It can be said that he is in full swing,It's no problem to say that he is now the world's No. 1 defender,Although the current Ray Allen is also very popular,But compared to him,,It's still a level worse,Junzi Lei's offensive routine,Now it's slowly developing,Although he was still a dunk when he first entered the league,But now,Ray Allen has become the most orthodox shooter,But his shooter is not an ordinary shooter.,He's a shooter who can shoot people to death,
Jiang Yang looked at Aaron Iverson in the crowd and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, he didn't know much about the O1 finals.
Because Jiang Yang didn't know what the NBA was at this time, he accepted basketball relatively late, even when he was in junior high school, he rarely played basketball, and the physical education class at that time was a good time to go to the Internet café to play crazy tanks! But even if he doesn't look at it.
After a year of NBA edification, he also knows some historical battles in the NBA.
For example, the battle between the 76ers and the Lakers in 22oo1 is a relatively hot battle after entering the new century.
Although it seems that AI vs. Shark and Flying Man has some tragic meaning, but losing is losing, and now Jiang Yang wants to win.
And Jiang Yang remembered that the big score should be 4-o if nothing else, and the Lakers killed the 76ers in a near-sweeping manner! And there is an obvious gap in the strength of the two sides! Although the 76ers won the first game, Jiang Yang didn't think that it was won by the 76ers with their strength, it was more like a victory given to the 76ers by the Lakers.
A skill like excitement can't be used, at least Jiang Yang doesn't dare to use it now!
Sure enough, it was like what Jiang Yang thought, after the first battle, the second battle!
At the beginning of this battle, the Lakers adjusted the situation on the court, and Jiang Yang and Allen Iverson once again formed a backcourt double gun, but at the beginning of the game, the situation changed! Standing in front of Jiang Yang to defend him turned out to be a fish, Derrick Fisher, and the defense of Iverson became Kobe, in this case, as long as there is a coach with brains, he will focus on Jiang Yang's point, Larry Brown has a lot of brains, but unfortunately, he can't command the distribution of the ball on the court......
After the jump ball ended, the Lakers first took the lead by Kobe, who played 'hi' AI in the last game, watching Kobe defend himself, he had to defend Kobe himself, and he had to play against Kobe, but is his height the material for defense?
The first ball was scored by Kobe Bryant once, and the second ball, Iverson wanted to get back on the court and go head-to-head with Kobe, I have to say that his offensive ability is really strong, completely ignoring Jiang Yang, who was already in the vacant position, and scored the ball against Kobe and Fisher alone, 76ers, why is it said that Iverson's team, now Jiang Yang understands.
The first quarter of the game, in fact, is the duel between Iverson and the Lakers team, in the first quarter of the game, Iverson scored 11 points, and Jiang Yang only scored 4 points, or grabbed a frontcourt rebound and then scored a rebound, and Uncle Mu passed to Jiang Yang on the inside, compared to Uncle Mu, AI's alone, at this moment Table 1u Undoubtedly, no one could help him share the burden of scoring before, which is understandable, but now with Jiang Yang, he still doesn't pass the ball, just like he did in the Nuggets in the future!
Alone, this is a xing question, and it is not something that can be distinguished from the number of assists of a person.
One person has one game and ten assists, but he only passes ten balls, isn't such a person called Du?
Jiang Yang admits that he is not a SI-free player, but he has always regarded himself as a PG, only his teammates have a good chance, he will pass the ball, but now, he really wants to not give AI after grabbing the basketball, because he is too lonely.
In the second quarter of the game, the 76ers started in the second quarter, the second quarter, Jiang Yang originally thought that he should be able to play with the bench for a while, one minute after the second quarter, Jiang Yang shot a three-pointer, and then passed an assist, the performance was quite eye-catching, but a minute later, Iverson played, as mentioned earlier, Larry Brown's playing time is also difficult to manage, basically he is happy, when he wants to play, he will play!
And it was Jiang Yang who was replaced! Jiang Yang sat on the bench with seven points and one assist, and Iverson on the court started his solo dance again...... Looking at Jiang Yang and Julie Brown's helpless appearance, the corners of Phil Jackson's mouth slowly grinned! But seriously, Iverson also has his own advantages, although he doesn't pass the ball, but the false fire has not been cleared, and in the second quarter, with his swing, he helped the 76ers only trail the Lakers by two points at 47-49 into the second half.
Two points wasn't much, so Iverson, back in the locker room, didn't see the problem.
But Jiang Yang, who has worked with Phil Jackson several times, now feels that the problem is serious! Originally, he thought that this task was not very difficult to deal with, but now it seems that it is not without reason to be rated A+, and Jiang Yang is very strong now.
The entire 76ers lineup is also very strong, but no matter how strong the base is, it can't withstand being destroyed from the inside!
"What if the AI is still playing like this in the second half, and he doesn't feel it anymore?" Jiang Yang looked at the AI who was being slapped by Aaron McGee and others, his eyes only flashed with a trace of sadness, and Larry Brown also knew that the problem was serious!
"It's time to close the net!" And in the Lakers locker room at this time, Phil Jackson only said this sentence.
Listening to Phil Jackson, everyone couldn't help but be happy! They know what it means......
At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Lakers' offensive strategy changed all of a sudden, because it was still AI and Kobe Bryant.
Basically, in the first half, AI pressed Kobe Bryant, because when he was on the offensive end, he basically picked Kobe and Fisher alone, and on the defensive end, although he couldn't prevent Kobe, he didn't let Jiang Yang help, it's so strange in people's hearts, sometimes he thinks like this! Today's AI is stuck in a cycle of self-aggrandizement.
And the Lakers are slowly closing the net at this time, the original first main attack point O'Neal suddenly changed, became the second main attack point, and gave up the position of the first main attack point to Kobe, Kobe Bryant's shooting power suddenly increased more than O'Neal, and in the face of AI, not Jiang Yang, Kobe's shooting rate skyrocketed, and in the last game, Kobe Bryant, who was restricted by Jiang Yang, was about to limit him to death.
But now in the face of AI that is so much shorter than himself, Kobe's hit rate has skyrocketed, directly brushing to about 5o%.
And the Lakers also took advantage of this opportunity to directly open the score, and in the third quarter, they started with a Bo11-2 attack, which directly stretched the difference to as many as 11 points, and the AI finally made the Lakers consume it, and missed five consecutive shots.
In general, in this case, in Jiang Yang's opinion, you should pass the ball, but AI, no!
If you have the opportunity, you have to go on yourself, if you don't have the opportunity to create your own opportunities, you have to go on if you can't create opportunities!
This is the true portrayal of the current AI, AI is like crazy, as long as the ball is in his hands, then he will directly take the ball to impact the opponent's basket, and he will not enter again and again, and he will be driven out of the interior again and again, but he still impacts again and again.
Such a spirit and courage are commendable, but in Jiang Yang's view, this is the most stupid approach!
"Hey, pass the ball!" Jiang Yang stood outside the three-point line and yelled loudly at Iverson, who rushed into the interior again, but Iverson didn't seem to hear it, and continued to rush forward with the ball...... At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers won the 76ers by 8 points in a single quarter! At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers rushed to the final quarter with a 1o point lead, and in the last quarter, plus crazy! If you miss a hundred shots, you will shoot, break through, and go to the basket, even if you don't score again, you have to go on!
Jiang Yang's roar, Larry Brown's roar, that's an insult to himself, he is the world's No. 1 player, and he has to be hard!
Looking at the crazy AI, O'Neill was happy, he smiled quite happily, the hot pot was like a discount, a big giveaway! Fan out one after another, and cover all the AI's layups and shots.
The entire Lakers team has a bumper harvest of blocks, and nine out of ten of these blocks are given by Iverson alone.
Watching Iverson hit the inside line like a madman, all the people next to him were helpless, and the most helpless was Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang really doesn't know what to say now, he can only do useless switchback and run every time, with a strong strength, you don't have the ball, how do you let him swing? And on the defensive end, as long as Jiang Yang dares to grab Kobe Bryant from Iverson, who is now playing red-eyed, he will dare to scold you! If I can't prevent it, I have to defend it, if I can't get in, I will also fight, and if I get a cap, I will still suffer!
Iverson is curing qi, and the object of qi curing is the entire 76ers! It's not that he doesn't have helpers, but he has brought his helpers to a dead end, just like Jiang Yang who had a game in the finals, but Jiang Yang was in a bad mood at that time, and he didn't dare to joke about the team, he at least scored, and when he really couldn't, Doug Rivers dared not let him play!
But now Larry Brown obviously doesn't dare to let the AI sit off the court, and the people on the court, except for Jiang Yang, no one dares to disrespect him, this is the sadness of the 76ers, Jiang Yang now finally understands, why this task is A+.
"I'm not afraid of wolf-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!" Allen Iverson is not a pig, but in Jiang Yang's eyes, he is more angry than a pig at this time, because a pig is at least obedient! And Iverson has now gone completely rampage!
With his arrogance and less than 30% shooting from the field, the Philadelphia 76ers lost the game very simply.
The 98-89 scene didn't look like a bad loss, but those who watched the game knew how bad it was.
Allen Iverson scored 23 points from the field, a team-high, but his shooting percentage, 1o of 3o shooting, was exactly 3o%.
As a point guard, with 9 passes and 1 assist, is this still a point guard's stats?
Jiang Yang had 11 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, the highest assists on the team, without the ball, Jiang Yang had no choice! 6 assists, the highest in the team, Jiang Yang feels ashamed when he says it, which one of his assists did not go double-double when he played 42 minutes?
Uncle Mu, 16 points and 13 rebounds in the game, Aaron McGee 11 points and 2 assists, miserable.
