Chapter 404: Battle Lakers (3)

After Starkey scored, the penalty was also struck. 40:40。 The double reversal is once again tied.

After Kobe Bryant didn't score two goals in a row, he once again faced Tony 61 Allen's singles, and it seems that Kobe Bryant is also competing with Tony 61 Allen. Kobe Bryant hit Tony 61 Allen with his back, and then turned around, and after a flash, Tony 61 Allen's ball just tiptoed slightly, and then Kobe Bryant bumped into it, and the referee still gave a foul. After all, Kobe Bryant, as a superstar, can still get good treatment many times, such as superstar whistles and the like. These are basically unspoken rules, and no one can change them.

Bryant made two free throws in a row.

Kobe Bryant's free throws are still very accurate in the end. Kobe Bryant's rise to superstar isn't accidental. Effort is required. At the end of each day's practice, when the other players were gone, Bryant would stay alone in the arena for free throw practice.

After halftime, the Lakers' joint defense is still a very simple 23 joint defense, mainly to defend the inside, because I know that the Knicks' outside crosshair is very untrustworthy, so I dare to shrink the defense without scruples. If Thibodeau had sent Sessions up, then Phil 61 Jackson would not have dared to shrink the defense so arrogantly. After all, the backcourt combination composed of Sessions-Starkey-Stephen 61 Jackson has a good effect, Sessions and Stephen 61 Jackson are both people who can shoot from the outside, although they are not very accurate, although they can't cause tons of damage, but they can still shoot, and it is still enough to make the opponent feel that it is best not to shrink the defense because of the storage of these two people, and it is better not to combine defense. But the problem is that the backcourt combination that Thibodeau has ruled out now is Starkey Toney 61 Allen Stephen 61 Jackson, and this combination is a bit weaker in three-point ability. Starkey and Tony 61 Allen are both the kind of people who can completely empty your outside line, although you shoot, but you can shoot hard, it is better to say, you are happy to shoot the opponent to death, how can such an outside player be trusted.

So, now the Lakers have a simple 2-3 defense. It's a headache for the Knicks.

After Starkey dribbled the ball through the half court this time, Starkey dribbled horizontally, in front of Farmar, Landry came forward to block Starkey, Farmar was only a small delay, it was really a small time, but on the basketball court, then the lost time would be used by the opponent in an instant, Starkey rushed into the interior like crazy, and the two players who faced the Lakers didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one. He was about to go to the basket with Gasol, but although Starkey had spread his hands as far as he could, using his body to cut off the distance between Gasol and the ball, was Gasol's arm span a joke? Gasol just grazed the edge of the ball through Starkey's body, although it was only slightly touched, but the direction of the ball was obviously wrong. It became a three-no-stick, and although Starkey was looking for physical contact with Paul 61 Gasol as much as possible, Gasol was also smart to just reach out and try to open Starkey's body as much as possible, so the referee did not blow a foul on the ball, after Gasol brushed the ball, the arc of the ball became very high, and the distance was shortened, and Gasol just took the rebound by the way. Then, after winning the ball, Gasol gave the ball directly to Kobe.

Bryant received the ball and quickly moved forward to make a fast attack, after half time. Kobe stopped non-stop, it looked like he was going to rush inside, but when Stephen 61 Jackson near Kobe Bryant was about to enter the interior to shrink the defense, Kobe Bryant took a horizontal step back to the left, stepped out of the three-point line, and directly shot this three-point shot, Stephen 61 Jackson reacted that it was too late to go out to defend, and it was too late, so he could only watch Kobe shoot this three-point shot, and then this three-point shot hit steadily. In fact, Kobe's three-point shot is not so accurate, we often watch Kobe's goal video, so we mistakenly think that Kobe is the kind of scoring guard who is very accurate in three-point shots, but in fact, Kobe Bryant is more about rushing to the inside and stepping back. When it comes to three-point shooting, Bryant can only be a qualified player. As a guard with a height of 1.98 meters, Kobe Bryant's three-point shooting rate is only 35%. This shooting percentage is actually not high, and even slightly low, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant is not the kind of player who lives on three-point shots, Kobe averages 4.1 three-pointers per game. Hit 1.4. Such a number jΓΉ can only be said to be a very general number jΓΉ. However, it was such a Kobe Bryant who shot crazy three-pointers in this game. I don't know what's going on, today's Kobe Bryant seems to be on drugs. The three-point shot is accurate. I don't know if it's a three-point possession. For such Kobe, all the employees of the Knicks can only be hehe. Helpless. 40:45。

Halfway through the second quarter of the game, Thibodeau seemed to have discovered his mistake in the formation, only to find out that Sessions really couldn't get off the court, and today, this Starkey played point guard, which was a failure. However, there is no way to do this, Thibodeau really wants to send Tony 61 Aaron to the field, it can be said that Tony 61 Arun is a descendant disciple brought out by Thibodeau, but now he can't even play, which hurts a lot. However, this is only a small part of the reason, and the bigger reason is actually the two-guard lineup of Sessions and Starkey, which is a bit lackluster on the non-defensive end. This is something that Thibodeau can hardly tolerate, so Thibodeau did everything possible to want Tony 61 Allen to be replaced. Because after Tony 61 Allen came on the court, the Knicks' defensive strength instantly rose a notch, which is definitely not bragging, because the cooperation of Tony 61 Allen and Stephen 61 Jackson can make the Knicks' defensive level rise at once, but Starkey does not have this ability. But Starkey's ability is that he has a continuous scoring ability, and he has a super breakthrough ability. If Starkey is not allowed to play, Sessions does not have the ability to lead the team's offense, which is also a big problem in front of Thibodeau. In fact, Thibodeau is also very difficult to do. If you want to be a three-point player, the three-point ability is too weak, and if you want Starkey, the explosiveness in the backcourt is a little insufficient. Yes. Thibodeau is going crazy.

By the time Thibodeau found that the lineup on the field was really not good, the team had already opened up a 12-point gap. And there were only four minutes left in the second quarter. The Knicks were basically not scored by the Lakers' joint defense, Stephen 61 Jackson did not shoot two three-pointers in a row, although Stephen 61 Jackson himself still has the confidence to shoot, but Starkey seems to be a little disbelieving Stephen 61 Jackson, Starkey broke through by himself, but the effect is really too bad. The Lakers' defensive team broke through the defensive limits very well. Starkey's breakthrough was disrupted in succession, bursting in six times and scoring just one goal. As a result, with four minutes left in the second quarter, the score was already 42-54.

This point difference is already quite large. Thibodeau finally asked for a timeout at this time, and as for whether to make a substitution, whether to replace Sessions, to replace Starkey, this is unknown.

However, if you change your attention to the other side, after Chen Jiyuan was injured, he was helped into the locker room by the team doctor, in the locker room, the team doctor conducted a slightly more detailed examination, and after asking Chen Jiyuan how he felt, the advice given by the team doctor was not to continue to play in this game, first conduct a detailed examination, see if the nose bridge bone is fractured, and decide whether to rest.

Chen Jiyuan is very aware of his situation, and the pain in his nose proves that the bridge of the nose is indeed very likely to be fractured. However, Chen Jiyuan very much hopes to win this game, hopes to be able to complete this game, and Chen Jiyuan does not want to leave the game again due to injury. However, although Chen Jiyuan didn't want this, what the truth would be was not completely under Chen Jiyuan's control.

As soon as Chen Jiyuan was injured, the phone call between Ivanka and Britney came in. Ivanka's phone was a little faster, and Britney was a little slower, so she called the staff, and Britney was also very hard.

However, for the phone call between the two people, Chen Jiyuan's answer was relatively consistent, after all, Chen Jiyuan's body was pretending to be fast, he really didn't know, how strict it was, whether he needed to rest or something, he had to wait for a detailed examination to know. However, although Chen Jiyuan didn't know whether he needed to rest for a while, at least what Chen Jiyuan knew was that his nose was not so painful now. Chen Jiyuan felt that if the bleeding stopped, then he could still continue this game. This is what Chen Jiyuan thinks. It is also what Chen Jiyuan wants to do now, Chen Jiyuan hopes to win this game, so Chen Jiyuan wants to return to the court, of course, it is also because the current Chen Jiyuan knows that his nose is not so painful. That's why Chen Jiyuan feels that he can continue this game.

However, although Chen Jiyuan wants to return to the court, the team doctor is absolutely not allowed, the team doctor has a cautious attitude, and still hopes that Chen Jiyuan can be stable, because everyone knows what Chen Jiyuan means to the team, and if Chen Jiyuan forcibly affects Chen Jiyuan's playing time in the playoffs because of such a regular season, it will be a ruin blow to the Knicks. It's a blow that all Knicks fans won't allow. It's something that all New Yorkers don't want to see. Therefore, the team doctor tried to avoid being killed by all New Yorkers. Therefore, we must do our best to stop Chen Jiyuan's reckless behavior. However, with the team doctor alone, it still seems a little small. Although Ivanka and Britney also severely reprimanded Chen Jiyuan on the phone, Chen Jiyuan was not allowed to mess around. But Chen Jiyuan often once he decides on something, he rarely listens to other people's opinions. At this time, Chen Jiyuan is the most determined, and will not be swayed by anyone, and will not be influenced by anyone.

Chen Jiyuan forcibly ignored anyone's dissuasion, but returned to the arena. Chen Jiyuan forcibly asked the team doctor to stop the bleeding of his nose and carry out emergency treatment. After pressing the nasal congestion, Chen Jiyuan felt very uncomfortable, but Chen Jiyuan still persevered, walked through the players' tunnel, and walked back to the field.

When Chen Jiyuan just returned to the sidelines, it was when Thibodeau was about to take a timeout, and all the players in the stadium noticed this and noticed that Chen Jiyuan was back, and the fans in the stadium instantly stood up and applauded Chen Jiyuan very neatly and warmly. Applause resounded throughout the arena.

However, fans feel that Chen Jiyuan just came back to watch the game, after all, Chen Jiyuan's nose was bleeding at that time, so the possibility of returning to the game is not very high, after all, a superstar of Chen Jiyuan's level is very careful about his physical condition, unless it is a very important game, unless it is a very important game. However, although the current game against the Lakers is a match against a strong team, it is not enough to let that superstar return to the court at the risk of injury.

However, everyone underestimated the important position of this game in Chen Jiyuan's heart, and underestimated how eager Chen Jiyuan was for the victory of this game.

said why Chen Jiyuan was so persistent about the victory in this game, it was a "small matter" a few days ago. It was this little thing that made Chen Jiyuan have extremely high expectations for this season, not the original trip, thinking that this season's Knicks could become the Eastern Conference Authority.

Let's talk about this little thing later, but let's get back to the field for now.

Chen Jiyuan was on the sidelines and applied to Thibodeau to play, but Thibodeau insisted that Chen Jiyuan get permission from the team doctor first. Thibodeau asked the team doctor, how is Chen Jiyuan's injury, can he play? The team doctor didn't dare to say that there was no problem anyway, and he could play, because no one could say what Cheng dΓΉ's injury was to Chen Jiyuan's nose now.

The team doctor could only say: "A conservative estimate should be that there should be a fracture." However, it is not yet certain what exactly it is, and it will have to be examined more precisely. ”

But now there is no way to do CT for Chen Jiyuan. Therefore, the team doctor could only make an estimate of Chen Jiyuan's injury.

Thibodeau asked, "Chen, you insist on playing?" It's just a regular season game. You don't have to play at this time. It's better to heal the nose injury first. ”

Chen Jiyuan said to Thibodeau very seriously: "Coach, I also agree with your statement and agree with your opinion, but I really have a reason why I must win this game." I'll explain it to you afterwards. But now, please let me play, if my body really doesn't allow me to play, I will definitely not force me to play, I know what my nose looks like, although I don't know how strict it is, but it definitely doesn't affect my play. Also, if there is any problem with my body, I will definitely take a break as soon as possible. I'm definitely not going to let this game affect our playoff record. I know the weight. Please allow me to act willfully today, please allow me to play. Instructor. ”

Thibodeau quickly gave the answer, as a team manager, you must quickly make a quick judgment on various situations, otherwise, how to judge the ever-changing form on the field.

Thibodeau agreed to Chen Jiyuan's request to play, but he also cautiously told Chen Jiyuan that once there was any physical condition, he must immediately suspend and prepare for a break. Chen Jiyuan naturally agreed to Thibodeau's request.

When the timeout was over, the players on both sides returned to the court, and the players on both sides and the spectators on the sidelines were stunned when Chen Jiyuan walked onto the court. Obviously, everyone discovered Chen Jiyuan's dedication to the victory of this game.

When Chen Jiyuan returned to the court, the score of the double serve was 42-54. There were four minutes left in the second quarter. It's going to be hard to get back into the score. However, it was necessary to get as close as possible before half-time.

After Chen Jiyuan returned to the court, the first ball was singled by himself, although Chen Jiyuan was injured and returned to the court, but this will not make the opponent sympathize with you, you know, sympathy for the opponent is cruelty to yourself, so Gasol is still very tough when defending Chen Jiyuan, and he has not relaxed at all.

After Chen Jiyuan received the ball on the left side, he faced Gasol's defense, because Gasol posted Chen Jiyuan very close, so Chen Jiyuan chose to break through, Chen Jiyuan quickly shackled on the left, but such a breakthrough naturally had no effect on Gasol, Gasol quickly blocked Chen Jiyuan's way forward horizontally, however, Chen Jiyuan didn't plan to pass Gasol like this, Chen Jiyuan walked from the left side, and then, a turn, Gasol did not move. After Chen Jiyuan turned around, he turned back, and a shooting action was made, Gasol jumped vertically, wanting to point to interfere with Chen Jiyuan's shooting, but Chen Jiyuan didn't shoot the ball at all, but the armpit of Cining Palace Gasol, took a step forward, dodged Gasol's body and block, and directly shot a basket. The ball rolls around the hoop and then lands in the hoop. 44:54。

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant fought back against Chen Jiyuan on the outside, because Tony 61 Allen had a bit of a lot of fouls, so the ball was defended by Stephen 61 Jackson, and Kobe Bryant took a step back. Stephen 61 Jackson quickly stepped forward to defend, but Stephen 61 Jackson was also very experienced and did not pounce completely, worried about being fouled, Kobe Bryant saw that Stephen 61 Jackson was not fooled, did not jump and pounced, Kobe forced against Stephen 61 Jackson with his arms raised high shot a large two-point shot, the ball went in. 44:56。

Kobe Bryant's hand is really good.
