Chapter 108: The Defense of the Third Section of Life and Death
"According to what he told me and exercised, was it just to improve my mental concentration and reach the potential in my body? So is my current state one of the times on the road to becoming a superstar? For example, whose moment, such as the god of war in my heart, such as 50+? 60+? These points are obtained by being in a certain state...... It's just that I'm different from them in the future, can I be self-regulated and active through self-training? ”
"He wasn't sure about it, so he told me something that might happen because of this, but it was terrible for me, right? But I felt really good today, especially the two free throws after the foul in the second half, maybe it's not impossible that I've gotten into a certain state. ”
"Since it has come to the decisive moment, since Zhang Haide said that there is no risk in entering this state, there is no risk in Ling Ding's several times, and since he has already stood in this place where the whole world is moved, then what do I hesitate now......"
"Deep down in my heart, isn't it just a constant reminder to me of what kind of person I really am?"
"You can't have both fish and bear's paws, in this case, some things that should be given up should indeed be given up earlier......"
Gong Feng, who was on the field again, quickly flashed these thoughts in his mind, and finally all his thoughts stopped at a certain moment, and he began to concentrate on this game without the slightest distraction.
At this moment, after Gong Feng changed a little in his heart, he first made some changes in his defensive movements, looking at Brian Shaw? Dribbling, his body has begun to squat slowly, and his hands have unconsciously not followed the standard defensive posture, but have declined to a certain extent, and it seems that his hands are more natural, giving people an extremely relaxed state.
The players on the court now include guard Brian? Shaw, power forward Samaki? Walker, guard Lynch? Hunter, striker Devon? George and Kobe.
It's a pure small lineup, and it's a lineup that the Lakers are going to fight the Wizards right now in the third quarter, and all they have to do now is hold out until the moment O'Neal can play in the fourth quarter.
And what the Wizards are going to do now is also very crazy, which is to open up the score gap with the Lakers during this period of time.
When the audience at the scene and in front of the TV saw O'Neal, Fisher, Fox, and Horry all go off the break, they were extremely surprised.
It wasn't until they saw the Lakers' assistants and team doctors all dispatched to help O'Neal soothe his muscles and relieve fatigue on the sidelines that everyone realized something.
"O'Neill is actually tired?"
"The prehistoric monster O'Neill is in this situation?"
"It turns out that our core is already a little old......"
For a moment, there was even a slight silence among the fans at the Stamps Center.
Brian? Although Shaw is already a veteran who is about to retire, it is the first time that he has received such a critical task of chasing points, but he still remembers what Jackson said before they came on the court, "Give me your speed, play fast counterattacks, give me turns to break through the inside, the Wizards have holes in the inside and outside, this is your best chance...... Remember, I want your desperate state! ”
Thinking of this, Brian immediately looked for Kobe, at this time, no one was more difficult to defend than Kobe's breakthrough, but at the moment when Brian was looking for Kobe, Gong Feng made a steal...... After a clean break, Gong Feng quickly scored on the basketball.
Brian looked at Gong Feng with some surprise and was very surprised that Gong Feng broke the ball unexpectedly.
You must know that before this game, Gong Feng was the focus of research for all Lakers players, and as Collins said, the core player of the Wizards now is undoubtedly Gong Feng.
Although the average number of broken balls in the regular season can reach a high level of 1.8 times, when Gong Feng breaks the ball, it is basically a broken route, and the moment a tall player gets the ball, if carefully divided, the number of direct ball breaks from players, especially defenders, is 0.08 times per game...... Almost nothing.
When Jackson saw Gong Feng's data, he commented with great emotion, "Gong Feng is the seedling of a real defensive player, and it is surprising that a rookie knows how to play on the court for many years in his rookie season...... I can't see that he looks a little young and vigorous! ”
This is the main reason why Brian was cut off by Gong Feng, especially when Gong Feng has already committed two fouls...... You must know that the difference between taking the initiative to step forward and stealing is only a little bit worse than a foul.
Serving again, Kobe Bryant received the ball directly at the bottom foot, and the moment Gong Feng saw Kobe get the ball when he retreated, he glanced at Simmons and went to the double bag Kobe very quickly.
"The Lakers are bound to play a quick counterattack, which means that it will be relatively simple...... But Jackson believes in Kobe's strength in his heart, no matter who the players are to be on the court, you remember for me, you must destroy Kobe's rhythm alone, and other players can give up with leeway, but you must not let Kobe Bryant play out of state, two people can't wrap up, just give me three packs. ”
All the players of the Wizards are now in the first half, the moment Simmons and Gong Feng wrapped Kobe Bryant, Wang Zhizhi and Haywood were already standing in Kobe's passing route, and they must not let the Lakers play an offense that runs through the whole court, which is an iron rule under Collins.
No one wants to be tackled for the second time, even if there are already Lakers players in the frontcourt, but the three Lakers players in the backcourt will never dare to pass long at this time.
Involuntarily, Kobe Bryant could only give the ball back to Bryan and slowly began to organize the Lakers' offense.
The Wizards did not use a full-court tight defense, or the Wizards' pressing was only aimed at Kobe Bryant alone, as Bryan got the ball, Gong Feng quickly stepped forward to intercept, and Haywood and Wang Zhizhi also quickly returned to the backcourt.
The Lakers did this and it took seven seconds just over halftime.
Kobe Bryant still asked for the ball outside the three-point line, and the Wizards immediately tightened the interior at this time to prevent Kobe Bryant's breakthrough.
Seeing the Wizards' tight interior defense, they didn't dare to force a breakthrough to the basket for a while, but looking at the other players on the court and thinking of their three-point shooting percentage, Kobe Bryant didn't think anyone was taller than him.
Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant first made a tentative step and made a posture to break through the inside, Simmons, who lacked experience, immediately stopped clinging to Kobe Bryant and gave Kobe Bryant space to shoot...... For the crucial battle of Game 7, Bryant certainly has the best preparations.
In the face of Kobe's shooting, the Wizards' Wang Zhizhi immediately stood up and blocked the other players of the Lakers from rushing to grab the rebound, after seeing Kobe's shot not entering, Haywood immediately blocked others with his body, and then jumped up to get the rebound, at this time he did not put his hand down, but raised it high, which was a warning given to him by Oakley and Collins.
"You have to remember to play high, the team doesn't need you to launch a fast break now, grabbing every rebound and protecting the rebound in your hand is the key to your play, handing the ball to Gong Feng safely, or other players is the moment when you can relax...... You remember, after you go on the court, even if you make any mistakes, I will not hesitate to replace you, if you can't even play at all, your play will become worthless, you know what I mean? ”
Thinking of this, Heywood raised his hands high, not daring to put them down, until he felt that all the players around him were scattered, Heywood turned around and handed the ball to Gong Feng in the backcourt.
Gong Feng smiled when he saw Heywood who was so nervous, and then took the initiative to pat Heywood on the shoulder, giving him enough encouragement.
Heywood smiled at such a bow peak and said that he didn't have any problems.
When he saw Gong Feng take the initiative to motivate his own players on the field for the first time, Collins nodded with satisfaction, but he couldn't help but look at Kwame sitting next to him...... I can't help but think that it would be great if these two people could be together forever and always be the two cores of a team.
