Chapter 618
Kobe Bryant is always able to surprise you at certain times, this kind of extremely unreasonable ball, Kobe Bryant is able to throw it at a critical moment, which really makes people don't know what to say.
This kind of ball will only make those who love him love him more, and those who hate him will be more cruel to him.
Theoretically, the shot of this ball is not so reasonable, Iguodala's height and reach will form a considerable interference and threat to Kobe's jumper, so in the end there is an opportunity to shoot after the shake, but it is a bit risky to pull it straight like now.
But it's an unreasonable shot for others, but not in Kobe's case. Kobe Bryant has always dared to make a move, and there is no time when Kobe Bryant is afraid to make a move, so even if this situation is difficult, Kobe will still choose to shoot without hesitation. That's what Kobe Bryant is all about. In Kobe's eyes, there is no difference between reasonable and unreasonable shots, there is only the difference between I want to shoot and I don't want to shoot. Of course, Kobe spent most of his time in the stage of wanting to make a shot.
Anyway, no matter how you discuss it, it won't have an impact on the result, and the current result is that the Lakers chased the score to 1 point after Kobe's goal.
Time is running out for the game, and it's hard to judge whether the game will be won or lost.
After all, the gap of one point is sometimes a big gap, but sometimes it is the key point to be overturned.
The Knicks attacked again, this time Chen Jiyuan made a high jumper, and before the opponent's bag arrived, he directly forced a jump shot, and the ball did not go in.
After the Lakers protected the rebounding ball in the backcourt, they quickly moved forward.
After halftime, Kobe's confidence was completely bursting. As soon as it was done, Kobe Bryant reached out for the ball.
After Kobe Bryant received the ball, he still held the ball at the top of the arc.
Maybe Phil Jackson saw Kobe Bryant's right-sided trapping tactics, so he chose to let Kobe Bryant play alone at the top fox.
However, Phil Jackson should know more about Kobe than Thibodeau, but the two people have different views of Kobe, which makes the two people see things differently.
What Thibodeau saw was how to prevent Kobe from dying and how to put Kobe in a desperate situation. And Phil Jackson sees more of Kobe's shining points, and Phil Jackson will definitely not seem to be so bored that he thinks about how to prevent Kobe from dying.
Thibodeau is just the opposite, he is thinking every day, how to make those superstars in their own defensive system, the scoring efficiency is low, Thibodeau is very smart, he knows very well, the defense is inherently weak, it is passive, therefore, it is impossible to completely block the opponent, especially for superstars, blocking is more fun, so, Thibodeau is very realistic, just thinking, how to be able to make some ignorance for the characteristics of each superstar, Make these superstars less efficient in scoring, and at the same time allow their teams to win. This is what Thibodeau, a workaholic, does every day without flirting with girls, drinking for fun, and not messing around.
Most of the time, Chen Jiyuan admired this workaholic Thibodeau very much, really, you can't admire it. Although he didn't do a very good job in some things, Thibodeau was an expert in his work.
Thibodeau has studied the league's superstars very well, such as Kobe, James, Howard, etc., Thibodeau has his own set of defensive methods. Thibodeau never went to a pub or anything like that, and he studied the game every day. This kind of professionalism is very admired by Chen Jiyuan, but, unfortunately, Thibodeau is not destined to be a top-level super-first-class head coach, not a matter of strength, but a problem other than strength.
For Kobe, Thibodeau has watched countless videos of Kobe's games, and there are many things that the players did unconsciously did, not a signal, just a simple psychological hint.
Thibodeau knows that when Kobe Bryant is inside the three-point line on the right side, when he holds the ball, once he encounters a bag, he will choose to slip to the bottom line or turn over for a jumper.
In other words, when Kobe Bryant encounters a bag clip on the right side, the probability of passing the ball is smaller than that of not passing, that is to say, when Kobe Bryant encounters a bag clip on the right side, he doesn't know what gives Kobe confidence in his heart, so that Kobe Bryant chooses to be strong more than the number of passes.
This is the conclusion reached by Thibodeau's little observation, of course, this conclusion can only be said to be a law, not only is it not necessarily correct, but it is also possible that Kobe Bryant took the initiative to break this law.
Kobe Bryant was at the top of the arc this time, under the defense of Iguodala, this time Kobe chose to rush inside, and after a few steps, he made a direct difficult floating jumper, Kobe's action was still very good, but unfortunately, the ball did not go in.
A good-looking move doesn't give the Lakers an extra point.
The defensive intensity of both sides is very high, after all, it has come to this moment. There's nothing left to keep.
The Knicks attacked again, and this time, before Chen Jiyuan could catch the ball, he was trapped.
This is really an extreme bull-breaking defensive strategy.
Phil Jackson seems to have arranged it a long time ago, and when he stood on the sidelines and gave an order, the Lakers changed their defensive strategy.
The Lakers all shrank their defenses and waited for the Knicks to give the ball to Chen Jiyuan.
Kobe and Fisher are on either side of the free throw line, Pau Gasol is holding Chen Jiyuan, and Odom is following Pau Gasol to wrap Kobe Bryant. On the other hand, Ron Artest has to work harder, going back and forth to help make up for the defense.
This extreme defensive method really made the Knicks' players speechless, this is definitely a defense arranged for Chen Jiyuan, it seems that there is infinite fear of Chen Jiyuan's power at critical moments.
Indeed, since Chen Jiyuan entered the league, he has repeatedly excelled at critical moments, and in the fourth quarter of the game, the more critical it is, the more Chen Jiyuan can hit those balls, which is quite similar to Kobe, Kobe Bryant also entered the league shortly after the brilliant things at critical moments helped him become famous.
The Lakers' extreme defensive method is actually just trying to get a certain effect in a certain defense, after all, suddenly changing the defensive method can achieve certain unexpected results, so that the Knicks suddenly don't know how to attack, and the hasty offense is still unlikely to succeed.
So this kind of defense is actually a bit of a gamble.
Chen Jiyuan had no way to catch the ball at all, although Chen Jiyuan was also wandering back and forth, trying to find a chance to catch the ball, but obviously it was unrealistic. After all, the Lakers are really a double bag.
Sessions reacted decisively to the situation quickly, which is very rare.
Sessions quickly took the ball to the halfway line, away from Chen, and then Iguodala helped Sessions block Fisher, and Sessions shot the ball directly outside the three-point line. The shot was a good opportunity, Kobe Bryant was physically tired, so this supplement defense was still half a beat slower, allowing Sessions to shoot this three-pointer, but fortunately the ball didn't go in.
Both sides struggled to score under the defensive intensity of their opponents.
Knowing that there were 37 seconds left in the game, the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant held the ball outside the three-point line, and suddenly accelerated, rushed to the inside, and forced a breakthrough, but Iguodala was by Kobe's side, and Chen Jiyuan also faced Kobe Bryant for the first time on the inside, ready to help defend Kobe's ball.
Even so, Bryant forced his jump, intending to make moves in the air to avoid the cover.
It's a pity that Chen Jiyuan didn't care so much, just waiting for Kobe to make a layup, Kobe moved in the air, and finally threw the ball out, and Chen Jiyuan went directly to the ball.
Chen Jiyuan, who tried his best, finally touched the ball with his fingers, although it only touched a little loss, but this was enough to change the flying trajectory of the ball.
Sure enough, the ball didn't make it to the basket.
Just when Chen Jiyuan showed a knowing smile, Chen Jiyuan was about to shout "COME-ON, BABY!" to the fans in front of him. , Chen Jiyuan heard a voice that should not have been heard at all.
"Toot-"
Nani
After Chen Jiyuan landed, he quickly looked at the referee and found that the referee actually ruled that the block that Chen Jiyuan had just made was a foul by the thug.
Chen Jiyuan was instantly excited by Nima, this is a god horse. Lao Tzu didn't run into Kobe Bryant at all, okay? Even if you're a home whistle plus a star whistle, then you're too much of a Nima obvious, okay? I'm going to beep the dog. Can we still have a good time together?
Chen Jiyuan instantly ran to the referee's side and expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty just now: "I didn't touch him at all." He's unstable in his center of gravity, so I didn't foul at all. ”
But the referee obviously won't pay attention to Chen Jiyuan, and in the NBA, there is no precedent for a beater to foul play.
When Chen Jiyuan was about to continue to say something, Stephen Jackson quickly stepped forward and pulled Chen Jiyuan away, pulling Chen Jiyuan to the side.
Stephen Jackson's behavior is still very smart, if he continues to entangle, it is easy to get a technical foul, in that case, he will give the opponent a point for nothing.
Chen Jiyuan was pulled by Stephen Jackson like this, so he calmed down a little, but the dissatisfaction in his heart was still obvious. When encountering such a disgusting thing, how can it be so easy to pass.
After all, these two free throws may even decide the outcome of the game, and if Kobe Bryant hits both free throws, then the pressure will be on the Knicks' side. The Knicks' next shot will make the difference between the game and the game. And with Kobe's urine, these two free throws are 90 percent to be hit.
It would be strange if Chen Jiyuan could calm down at the first moment he heard the whistle.
