Chapter 363 The Lakers who rebounded
The Lakers' performance in the first quarter of the game made those Lakers blow their mouths up, after all, basketball is the same as fighting, not just looking at the strength on paper, but also depends on the specific performance, and when the weak team explodes, it is also unstoppable.

Kobe Bryant complained to head coach Phil Jackson as soon as he came: "Phil, I have too few shots, otherwise how could the Timberwolves surpass us?" ”
Phil Jackson has always been a peacemaker, and he will not easily offend the players on the team, because he has always been a head coach who does not coach without superstars, so people are very skeptical of his coaching ability, after all, the team he coaches is too strong, and he hardly needs to be coached, like the Bulls Big Three, the Lakers OK combination, the Lakers Four Kings, the Lakers Twin Towers or something. Phil Jackson has become synonymous with non-superstars not coaching, a far cry from a true head coach.
Phil Jackson replied, "Kobe, you just need to discuss this kind of thing with Gary Payton, and you don't have to report it to me." ”
Kobe Bryant knew that he would definitely not be able to convince Gary Payton, an old guy, and he had no choice but to say: "Phil, you also know that Gary Payton guy doesn't cooperate with me very much, I can't communicate with him at all, or I need you to give orders, and he is the one who cooperates with me." ”
Phil Jackson also knows that Gary Payton and Karl Malone are running for the prestige of the big shark Shaquill O'Neal, and they don't look down on Kobe Bryant's little brother, after all, Kobe Bryant has no honor other than the championship, of course, there is such a thing as an all-star, Gary Payton and Karl Malone are also soft, so jealousy and arrogance, they also look down on Kobe Bryant who won the championship ring with good luck.
Phil Jackson couldn't directly put pressure on Gary Payton, and he couldn't bear to refuse Kobe Bryant's request, so he thought of a way and said: "In the second quarter of the game, I let Gary Payton rest, let Derrick Fisher play, you and he belong to the same draft player, communicate with him well, and it will be up to the two of you to turn the tables in the second quarter." ”
Kobe Bryant heard that his request was met, and also said: "I must let the wolf cubs of the Timberwolves know that I Kobe Bryant is awesome." ”
In the second quarter, the Lakers changed their lineup, replacing Karl Malone and Gary Payton, replacing Derrick Fisher and Hores Grant, and playing the Lakers' classic inside and outside tactics, which is often referred to as OK tactics.
And the Timberwolves have not changed, after all, they are in the lead and there is no need to change the lineup, the Lakers have the ball, Derrick Fisher breaks through with the ball, his task is very simple, take the basketball across the half court, and then pass the basketball to O'Neal or Kobe Bryant.
Derrick Fisher had just communicated with Kobe, and Kobe Bryant asked him to pass the ball a little more, and Derrick Fisher agreed.
So as soon as he took the basketball over the half court, he began to look for Kobe Bryant's position, only to see Kobe Bryant's very positive position, Sprewell was very uncomfortable with his elbow, and Derrick Fisher seized the opportunity and hoisted the basketball directly to Kobe.
Kobe Bryant did not choose to break through when he received the basketball, but used his already familiar back singles to attack, he used his shoulders to resist Sprewell, and then changed his pace left and right twice, seeing that Sprewell did not react, Kobe Bryant was not in a hurry, he directly made a reflexive back-back jumper and threw the basketball out, and the action was very chic and beautiful.
And Sprewell won't let Kobe Bryant shoot so comfortably, he jumped up and tried to interfere with Kobe Bryant's shot, Kobe Bryant forced a shot, but it's a pity that Duang's iron sound came, which made Kobe Bryant very embarrassed, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant's reaction consciousness was very fast, he ran directly into the inside line and rose into the air, directly grabbed the rebound and made a chic and elegant dunk.
Kobe Bryant used his diligence and hard work to turn embarrassment into a beautiful offense, and he got 1 rebound and 2 points.
Then Sprewell wanted to play a response ball, he wanted to pass the basketball, looked at Kobe Bryant's position, changed direction left and right for two consecutive times, and after passing Kobe Bryant, Sprewell did not rush to the Lakers' inside, and directly made a pull-up jump shot to prepare to shoot, but unfortunately Kobe Bryant also jumped up directly to block Sprewell's shot from behind, and the basketball was picked up by Lakers player Hores Grant, who had just come up.
Horres Grant also passed the basketball to Kobe Bryant very interestingly, Kobe Bryant broke through directly with the ball, his speed was much faster than Derrick Fisher, after Sprewell's mistake, he also made a very positive remedy, he tried to keep up with Kobe Bryant's footsteps, and kept harassing Kobe Bryant in the back, delaying his offensive speed, Kobe Bryant saw that the other players of the Timberwolves team would make up for the position in the future, and the breakthrough layup was hopeless. Kobe Bryant suddenly stepped back and stepped outside the three-point line to pull out a jumper and throw the basketball out.
Bryant's second goal quickly ignited the excitement at Staples Arena, and they all shouted, "Kobe, Kobe!" "It's like cheering Kobe Bryant.
O'Neal was originally a little unhappy with Kobe Bryant, because this guy ignored himself many times and chose to play alone, but sometimes you have to admire this guy, his will to fight is too strong, no matter how many points the team is behind, he can maintain his fighting confidence, in his mind, the game time is not over, the winner is unknown.
So you can often see Kobe Bryant often being able to shoot the killer shot, and that's because of how strong his desire to win is.
Driven by Kobe Bryant, the Lakers players also used their strength to confront the Timberwolves, and Kevin Garnett didn't expect that Kobe Bryant would be able to arouse the Lakers' will to fight, in fact, what Kevin Garnett didn't know was that Kobe Bryant led the Lakers and was his future enemy.
However, he is not a vegetarian either, he has repeatedly used his height and arm length to shoot in the middle, and the same is true on the Lakers' side, O'Neal is wreaking havoc on the inside, while Kobe Bryant is turning over the sea on the outside.
Seeing Kobe Bryant's performance, Phil Jackson has already regretted why he didn't find a few powerful players in the first place, instead of inviting the two old men to the Lakers to suffer, after all, as long as there is a group of powerful players, plus O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, the Lakers Finals will be proper.
