Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the difference in info points is not large, it means that the state of the knights in this game is very good, both on the offensive end and on the defensive end, which also makes the fans on the scene full of confidence in this game. They have enough utilization to believe that the Cavaliers will definitely win this game.
Walking off the field, Huang Jun's heart is still very happy, and they currently occupy an absolute advantage in this game. Although it was only the end of the first quarter, it showed everyone's confidence in this game. Whether it's on the offensive end or on the defensive end, everyone is doing their best, so he's still in a good mood. Although he felt tired of it, he didn't take it seriously. He had 15 points and four assists in a single quarter, the most of any one in a single quarter of the Finals. Defending Kobe Bryant also made him understand the gap between the two.
Although Kobe Bryant also scored 12 points on his defense alone, he made twice as many shots as him, which proves that Huang Jun has been effective in defending Kobe. not only made Kobe very uncomfortable, but also seriously limited Kobe's shooting rate. This is also the reason why the Cavaliers were able to lead the Lakers by 10 points in a single quarter.
"Huang, your performance is very good, are you tired? How's it going, how does Kobe Bryant make you feel different from how other players feel you? Brown looked at the panting Huang Jun and said with a smile. He never thought that this game would have such an obvious effect on Huang Jun's defense of Kobe. turned out to be better than Battier on the defensive end to defend Kobe. This is something he definitely didn't expect before the game. Before the game, Huang Jun came to him and said that he wanted to defend Kobe, although Huang Jun's defensive ability was indeed very good, but at that time he still had a little suspicion, thinking that Huang Jun might be joking with him.
But in the end, he understood that Huang Jun was not joking with him, and since everyone took the initiative to say that he wanted to defend Kobe, he had no reason to refuse. So he agreed, originally he just wanted Huang Jun to try it and see how it worked. If it doesn't work out, then he'll let Battier defend Kobe Bryant again. But the final result shocked him very much, limiting Kobe's shooting percentage to 33 percent in a single quarter, how could he not be shocked?
"Coach, how's it going, I didn't say much, did I? I said I could defend myself against his attacks. You see I did it, right? But this way my energy does deplete very quickly. That's one of the reasons why I didn't take the initiative before, because then it was very difficult for me to play well on the offensive end in the future. But the feel of this game is hard for me to imagine. I thought the hit rate would be low, but now it looks very good. Huang Jun said with a smile that defending Kobe Bryant is indeed a very physical thing. But defending Kobe Bryant also makes him very happy, and he likes to limit the scoring methods of the opposing superstar, because that is also a sense of achievement.
"yes, you've behaved in a way that none of us expected. But you're absolutely right, so you're going to have more rest time in the next game. And it may also have Battier replace you in the middle of the game to defend Kobe. You must not let Kobe Bryant adapt to your defensive pressure. He's not the kind of player who can defend casually, and the main reason why the first quarter was so effective was that he hadn't gotten used to the pressure of your defense. As long as he gets used to it, then he will definitely find a solution. So I'm going to make a good arrangement and try to make him uncomfortable with your defensive pressure. Brown thought for a moment and said.
Although Huang Jun defended Kobe Bryant very well, he did not lose his composure and thinking, and he quickly understood the important reason. In his heart, this game is definitely going to be won. So he had to stay calm and think, and he definitely couldn't take it for granted in the first quarter that everything was so easy. If Kobe Bryant can be defended so easily, then he won't be a superstar. So this will make Huang Jun understand, of course, at the same time, he also wants to understand that there is no doubt about this. So it's still difficult for him to do it now, on the one hand, he has to think about how to speak, so as not to make the other party think crookedly, once he thinks crookedly, then this game will become suspenseful.
"Coach, I know, I know that." Huang Jun naturally knew what Brown meant, and he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, because what his coach said was true. He doesn't take it for granted that he'll be the first player to keep a clean sheet against Kobe. So now he is also thinking about dealing with Kobe's trick in his heart, and he is sure that in the next game, Kobe Bryant will definitely break out. So he had to find a way to limit Kobe.
Brown nodded in satisfaction, and then laid out the next tactics, which will undoubtedly be the main time for the second lineup. Hesitating Iverson became the starter in this game, so the offensive firepower of the second set of lineups will drop a lot. But that didn't bother him. Because there are still a lot of players to use, as long as you set up some tactics for them, then it's okay to score a few points. So he's not so worried, if something goes wrong, then he will replace his main player as soon as possible. As long as the second lineup can withstand a few minutes, it will be fine.
The second quarter of the game began quickly, and both sides used substitutes for the first half of the game. Kobe Bryant didn't stubbornly stay on the court either. The real game of this game has not yet begun, and it is still in the first quarter, and his physical consumption is still very large. So now he also has to recover his physical fitness. As long as he recovers his fitness, then he is still full of confidence. In this alliance, he will never admit that the other party will defend himself. As long as you adapt to the opponent's defensive pressure, then it is not much of a problem to give a relative amount of attack.
Five minutes passed in the second quarter, and the Cavaliers were surprisingly not completely blown up, but pulled away a little bit in the score. It's something that neither manager expected, really not at all. The Lakers' head coach thinks his players will be able to close the gap over the course of this time. The head coach of the Cavaliers is thinking that during this time, the Lakers' lineup will definitely recover a little bit of difference. But the current situation is completely what they didn't expect. They didn't expect that the reality was the opposite of what they thought, and they didn't know what to say.
"Forty-five, thirty-two, thirteen points ahead, you're three points ahead during this time. I didn't expect that, I really didn't expect you to be so good. And then you keep playing, and maybe they will change the starting lineup, but I'll still bring in yours. Because of your performance, it's worth me to add some extra minutes for you. And the time that belongs to you has not yet passed. As long as you do well in the rest of the day, you will continue to be on the field. How much playing time you get in this game depends entirely on your performance. Tell me, do you have faith? Brown said with a smile on his face.
"Yes," the crowd said in unison, and they didn't expect their performance to be so good in this game. Before, they thought that after they came on the field, the team's hard-won lead would be chased back by the opponent, and they would be out of the game very quickly. Their mission, they know, is just to buy some rest time for the main players. The manager never wanted to put them ahead of the opposition. However, in this game, they did it, and they not only won the rest time of the main team, but also won the playing time of their own people.
After the timeout, the Lakers really replaced their main players, and seeing this lineup, the faces of the Cavaliers' bench players did not change at all. The manager believes in them and keeps playing them and they won't let down the manager who believes in them for the rest of the time. So each of them is thinking in their hearts that they must complete the task given to them by the coach in the next time, not only to complete, but also to complete it perfectly.
What about the main players? We're still ahead of you even if it's the main players, and the Cavaliers' bench players are full of confidence. It's all because of the performance in the previous period, they were very good in this game and the performance gave them a lot of confidence. Even against the All-Star lineup, their confidence will not drop. Of course, this is all before the game. If they are abused by the opponent in the next game, then their confidence will drop directly. At that time, it may also make the Cavaliers fall into passivity, but in this case, Brown has a back-up move in his heart.
The game continued, Huang Jun and others watched their second lineup perform off the court, although the main players of the Lakers played, but in the next game, the Cavaliers' bench lineup performed very well. The Lakers hit a two-pointer, and the Cavaliers would hit a three-pointer. In this way, the difference is opened by one point, and Kobe's shooting percentage is not so high. Maybe it's because of the different defensive pressures, so you won't be able to fully react for a while, right?
