161 World Peace
For basketball, the individual is always more explosive than the team, but the stability of the team is always stronger, because a team and the ability to combine multiple people form a stable state, while the individual is subject to the individual state.
Horn has been playing with the Lakers for so long, being a father and a mother, attacking and organizing, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to do it physically.
Once Horn's physical strength weakened, the efficiency of the organization began to decline, and there were inadvertently two mistakes in succession.
The Lakers and the Nets are now playing very focused, both sides are focused on the game, biting point by point, once Horn makes a mistake here, the Lakers immediately seize the opportunity to widen the point difference.
At 75:70, the Lakers immediately widened the difference to 5 points.
Brown looked at Horn's state from the side, and he knew very well that Horn was going to fail! Any player who plays two quarters in a row will be exhausted, and it is normal for Horn to die of exhaustion at this time. Brown was about to yell and let the team crush Horn in one go.
The little general also saw the signs at this time, and he hurriedly called a timeout, and he couldn't let Horn fight at this time.
Horn's state is not good, if the Lakers suppress Horn and let Horn suffer psychologically, there will be no chance in the next game, so the little general must protect Horn at this time, and he immediately called a timeout.
The Nets players returned to the sidelines, and the junior general immediately replaced Horn with Lopez.
Horn is really tired at this time, supporting a team alone is definitely not a human job, and the team may not be able to win if he is as tired as a dead dog. It's no wonder that stars don't want to do this kind of thing.
Lopez is back on the pitch at this time, and his mentality is completely different from before. He was just unhappy with Horn before. I just don't think Horn can do it. But through the match, Lopez realized that Horn is a freak, he can't compare with Horn, and he needs to play his own thing.
Lopez is also starting to get the hang of it at this point, running more on the pitch and attacking more without the ball.
If Lopez plays like this, the efficiency is much better than before, and at this time, the Lakers gradually opened the score by relying on their overall strength. But the Nets didn't mess up in the process, and the combination of Lopez and Williams kept the team basically out of the way.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Nets by 8 points, and although the Lakers were leading at this time, no one could say that the Lakers would definitely win, because the Nets were far from collapsing from the perspective of the field and tactics so far.
The Nets can make the Lakers play this situation, and the little general is already very satisfied, but Kobe Bryant is very unhappy at this time.
Kobe Bryant felt that he was serious about playing today, and he was in good shape, and it was not easy to abuse you Horn, but he didn't expect Horn to be very capable of playing. Very scored. In the second half, the team used a team defense, and Horn was able to organize the whole team!
In this way, he will not be able to defeat Horn and the Nets at all. Who he is, is the best player in this league. Horn is on an equal footing with himself, this is a slander against himself! Doesn't that make people think that they are similar to Horn!
Kobe Bryant couldn't fix Horn for a long time, because he was very aggrieved. In fact, at this time, no one thinks Kobe Bryant is playing badly, Kobe's performance in the past two quarters has been good enough, and the reason why the Nets can't get rid of it is because Horn's performance is also amazing.
Kobe Bryant was very unhappy, and during the break, he scolded his teammates and put pressure on his teammates.
Kobe Bryant is the boss of the Lakers, no one has made a voice when he does this, and his teammates must obey him, and Brown can only echo and direct his players to do what Kobe Bryant says.
Kobe Bryant can put pressure on his teammates, but Horn can only hide himself, he is a newcomer to the team, he wants prestige without prestige, and he wants to have a status without a status in the rivers and lakes. I can't talk in the locker room, this team is Williams, and the most prestigious in the locker room is an old man like Lopez, and Horn looks very weak at this time.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers had a lot of talent, and Bynum started with a strong inside shot, and then attracted the defense to the outside to divide the ball.
Artest actually shot 2 three-pointers in a row at this time, and after shooting a 3-pointer, Artest was so excited that he rushed in to create a 2+1 for the Nets.
The Lakers received dividends from Artest, leading the Nets by 15 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which was a result that Kobe Bryant had not achieved before.
Artest played well, and immediately yelled at the court in a muscle-flexing pose.
Artest is so crazy that Kobe Bryant can't make Kobe cry and laugh, although Kobe Bryant is the absolute boss of the Lakers, but he has nothing to do with Artest, and there may be no one in this world who can do anything with Artest.
The little general originally wanted to wait until about 8 minutes to go to Horn, but now the team is about to be beaten at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and he can only go to Horn in front of him, but this time he didn't take Lopez down at the same time as Horn, but took Henry Fosse down, because Lopez performed better in just a few minutes.
Horn is back on the court, the margin has become 15 points, and the Lakers still have a crazy Artest, which is not easy to handle.
Horn came out to get the ball, and Artest rushed in front of Horn at once. Artest is crazy now, and he is also energetic when he sees Horn, that is, he is defending Horn.
As soon as Horn saw that Tester was so energetic, he couldn't let him down, and immediately used his height to dribble one step on the left, turn one step, and then turn back to step back and shoot backwards, Horn used three consecutive back-to-back shots, so as to completely use his height.
Although Artest pushed Horn outward fiercely at this time, Horn retreated and leaned back, basically unaffected.
"Brush!"
There's no pressure to shoot Horn on Artest's head, Artest is still too small for Horn.
Horn came up and plucked the hair on the head of Artest, who was still menacing, and the momentum on the Lakers' side suddenly weakened.
In the half of the Nets, Artest was a little cool, and came up to force a breakthrough with Wallace's defense, and Horn quickly went out to help defend at this time.
Artest saw Horn, it happened to be a strong impact, and wanted to hit Horn, but at this time Horn happened to start the passive skill of collision, Artest didn't hit Horn this time, he almost dropped the ball, picked up the basketball Artest wanted to stuff the basketball from Horn's crotch, but as soon as he went to shoot, Horn immediately put his hand between his legs behind his back.
"Smack!"
Horn observed from a panoramic perspective and actually stole Artest's crotch pass.
"Boom, boom!"
Horn's steal was too alert, and the Lakers' home court Staples Center suddenly burst into cheers, Horn took the ball at this time and turned around to run a fast attack, turned around and passed the ball to Marshon Brooks, who raised his hand for a three-pointer.
Horn immediately stopped the triumphant Artest, the Nets began to stabilize again, and Kobe Bryant couldn't sit still when he saw such a situation. (To be continued......)
