Chapter 567: The Last Battle with the Lakers
readx;
At half past seven o'clock in the evening of February 16, 2011, the players of the Lakers and Cavaliers started a new round of competition at the Cavaliers' home quick loan center. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The last time was on the home court of the Lakers, the Cavaliers won the game, and Zhang Kong also completed the overtaking of Kobe.
And today is also the Lakers' last chance to take revenge in the regular season, if this revenge is not avenged, then it can only wait until both teams make the playoffs, although now the Cavaliers play offense and beat all the teams in the league into a sieve.
But those experts and beasts are not too optimistic about the Cavaliers, after all, the Cavaliers are just playing beautifully, and when it comes to the playoffs, after the defensive level comes up, I don't know if it will play such a smooth offense, the Suns and the Warriors are both lessons for the Cavaliers, even Jeff Van Gundy, who is more supportive of the Cavaliers, thinks that it is problematic for the Cavaliers to play like this.
But no matter what people on the outside say, the Cavaliers are playing how they should play and how they play, and they don't feel that their style of play is problematic.
Today's starting lineup on both sides, the Cavaliers have not changed, Carter is still the sixth man, and Parker plays the second position. The Lakers are also the same old lineup, center Andrew Bainas, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Ron Artest, scoring guard Kobe, point guard Derrick Fisher, after the game started, Bynum relied on his own bouncing advantage, snatched the jump ball from Milicic's hand, the first ball naturally had to be handed over to the core of the team to play, Kobe Bryant pressed into the interior after receiving the ball, turned around and hit a jump shot, opening the scoring for the Lakers, but the Cavaliers are not soft on their side!
This game was the last game of the two teams before the All-Star break, and the people of both teams, no one wants to lose this game.
After Zhang Kong pressed through the half, he passed the ball from behind and handed it to Maddie, who singled Artest and made a successful shot.
Then Jamison of the Cavaliers, as well as Milicic began to shoot, blossoming outside the inside, and soon in the cheers of the audience, took a four-point lead, the first two minutes, except for Kobe's turn shot, the Lakers never scored, at the critical moment Pau Gasol relied on his height advantage on the inside, beat Jamison to make a rebound, breaking the Lakers' scoring drought of more than two minutes, and in the next two minutes, the Lakers began to focus on Gasol.
The reason why Gasol is called a sister-in-law is not for nothing, he plays softly is a little, and the second is because his strength is too small, he hit Jamison, and he couldn't squeeze it at all, so Jamison pushed him outside, but I have to admit that the big man in Europe, the offensive means are indeed rich, and the feel is very soft, after being pushed out of the line, he can also turn around and jump shot, with his height advantage to score the basketball, score six points in a row, all aspects plus Bynum's free throws after making fouls on the inside, Let the Lakers slowly catch up with the score, but at the critical moment, it still depends on Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong accurately hit a three-pointer on the outside, messing up the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant saw that the team was behind at the beginning, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, and the offense flashed his elbow to Parker, who defended him, and Parker fell down in response...... And the referee's whistle also sounded, Kobe Bryant is not the original Stern's godson after all, it is very comparable, that is, in the last game, Griffin also lit up his elbow several times, but not a single foul was awarded, and now Kobe Bryant has only lit up once and has been awarded a foul.
Watching Parker fall to the ground, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but be a little angry, his mouth was a little unclean, he happened to be heard by the referee next to him, there is nothing to say, the current referees are all masters of 0 tolerance, not only Kobe Bryant received a second foul because of this bright elbow, but also received a technical foul because of questioning the referee's decision, just over half of the first quarter, Kobe Bryant fouled twice, afraid that Kobe Bryant would accidentally offend the referee again, so the fake monk could only replace him and replace him with Shannon Brown.
Without the threat of Kobe, the Cavaliers also replaced Parker and Carter and began to strengthen their offense.
Carter is really useful on the court, with the joint efforts of the four All-Star level players in the court, the Cavaliers played a wave of 11-0 small ** when Kobe Bryant just got off the court, and the score was stretched to a full 18 points in one fell swoop, and the critical moment still depends on Gasol, Kobe is not there, he is the boss of the team, the top scorer on the court, although Gasol can't squeeze in the inside, but he can also shoot mid-range with his height advantage, and his hand is really good today.
Shot a few shots and hit them all, as for the other tower, Bainas, there was some depression today, in addition to causing a foul on Milicic today, after hitting a free throw, he let Milicic defend the nest in the first quarter.
Originally, Bynum was not too strong a player, there were too many ups and downs, but now with Milicic's strong defense, he disappeared, and the first quarter ended, and the Cavaliers led the Lakers by as many as 11 points at 32-21, which is no joke.
In the second quarter of the game, the main players on the Cavaliers' side rested, which also gave the Lakers players a chance, Kobe Bryant, who rested for half a quarter in the first half, came on the court at the beginning of the second quarter, and it was obvious that the fake monk still had two brushes.
At the beginning, he played his own three-self offensive tactics, focusing on Gasol's point, after Jamison got off the field, the person who replaced him was JJ Hickson, although this player has good physical fitness, but he is only 206 cm tall and is also a short man.
happened to be Gasolke, Gasol scored one after another on the inside, and Carter on the outside had no way to prevent Kobe.
In the first six minutes of the second quarter, the Lakers went on a 17-7 run to narrow the score to just one point.
Kobe Bryant and Gasol teamed up to contribute ten points, Odom completed an aerial relay dunk and sent two assists, and at the critical moment, the Cavaliers had to change Zhang Kong to the court, with Sessions' organizational level, it is indeed not enough for the Cavaliers to lead the Lakers, but Zhang Kong's performance after playing is very positive.
As soon as Zhang Kong came on the court, he passed JJ Hickson under the basket, who hit Gasol and dunked successfully, Gasol's strength was too poor, in the face of JJ-Hickson, he said that he was under a lot of pressure, and then Zhang Kong, after stealing the ball passed to Kobe Bryant, go down, a tomahawk-style split, I don't believe that the score was re-opened to five points, and it also played out the morale of the Cavaliers, Carter went off the court and replaced Parker, who specializes in defending the opponent's top soldiers, Parker played against Kobe, Kobe Bryant was like the first quarter, Disappeared again, and Bynum tried to single Milicic on the inside, and failed to single three times in a row.
Twice failed to score, and the last time even gave Milicic a big hat, and the Cavaliers are currently the league's best blockers.
Phil Jackson also had no choice, seeing that the score was re-stretched to 15 points, the Lakers were also a little anxious.
Gasol had to be replaced again, and the Lakers played the Cavaliers, the No. 4 position, and they always had a very big advantage.
The Cavaliers couldn't do anything but watch Gasol score in a row, but their defense was still the same.
The All-Star Stars, who may have been approaching, have worn out their fighting spirit, and the original tough defense of the Lakers has disappeared.
At the end of the half, the Cavaliers won the game by two points in a single quarter 27-25, 59-46, and the Cavaliers had won the Lakers by a full 13 points at halftime.
The Cavaliers need to rest, and the Lakers need to reorganize their tactics, obviously today's Lakers team is completely out of shape, as the commentator of the court station said, the Lakers are brain-dead again, and these big city teams are always like this.
Playing games, you will slack off for a while, which is also a classic move of the Lakers, unlike those teams in small cities, like Cleveland now, they need to win all the time for their own influence, for their own influence.
Because only when you win, will you get the attention of the league and the fans, so that someone will come to attract investment.
Pumping new money into your own team is like Cleveland using James' reputation in the first place, and teams in big cities don't need that, especially in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and New York can be a little worse.
It is true that there are many wealthy people in New York, and Wall Street represents the global financial center, but it is not the entertainment capital.
So in addition to attracting businessmen, they are very expensive to sell tickets, they lack entertainment language, so they also need to play, and Los Angeles, the last thing they lack is entertainment commentary, maybe they have fewer rich people here than in New York.
But their entertainment elements here are definitely the most in the United States, or even in the world, and their people here are not lacking in exposure, so sometimes they get tired of playing ball, and they don't want to play anymore, and they are tired.
The current Lakers seem to belong to such a situation, and they are unwilling to play anymore until now, and they have started to work in the flow of water.
And the Cavaliers don't want to play like this, they are playing well now, especially just ten consecutive wins, the Cavaliers' tactics have approached the best record in history, it is conceivable that if Zhang Kong did not ban those ten games, the Cavaliers may really be able to break the season 71-10 record held by the Bulls of Joe, of course, this record is just thinking about it.
