Chapter 408: Battle Lakers (7)

Kobe Bryant's current score is more than four points more than twice that of Chen. That's not a big difference.

However, compared to the fact that he or Kobe Bryant's scoring ability is more advanced, Chen Jiyuan still hopes that the team can win.

At this critical moment in the game, neither Kobe nor Chen Jiyuan had the leisure to care about what their numbers were, Kobe Bryant wanted to score points to help the team win, and Chen Jiyuan also had his own way to help the team win. In order to win, both of these people will do what they can, as long as it is helpful to win.

Now the score is tied again. The score was 93:93.

After Kobe Bryant scored those two free throws, the Knicks' side didn't score, and Sessions broke through Fisher here. It's still a pure speed bully to bully Fisher with no skill, but this trick is so useful.

After Sessions burst in, he faced the clamp defense, and had to give the ball to Chen Jiyuan near the three-second area on the left, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he made a direct move, and then faced the Lakers defenders who pounced, but Chen Jiyuan did not shoot, but gave the ball to Stephen Jackson on the outside, but Stephen Jackson's three-point shot did not hit here, of course, there was also the reason why Ariza quickly stepped forward to defend, but today Stephen Jackson's shooting rate is still too low. After missing this shot here, Stephen Jackson has already shot 1 of 7 three-pointers today.

After the Lakers protected the backcourt rebounds, Kobe Bryant quickly ran to the front half with the ball, and after waiting for Kobe Bryant to pass the half, the Knicks' retreat had already been completed, at this point, the Knicks are definitely doing a good job, because Thibodeau's storage zài is synonymous with defense, who dares not to work hard to defend. That would be death. If you don't die, you will never die. If you die, I will dare you not play normally, such as Crawford, this is a living example. It's a bloody lesson. Crawford didn't play for a minute in this game, although it was said that Crawford's body was a little unwell and his condition was not very good, but Chen Jiyuan knew that it was because he was in a bad physical state, but because Thibodeau was determined to let go, even if Starkey didn't have any outside projection ability, even if Crawford's offensive ability was very strong, even if Crawford was the strongest three-point person on the team, but Crawford still couldn't get a little playing time. What a pity for Nima.

It can be said that the reason why Starkey was able to rise to the position so quickly and successfully became the person who played the most minutes on the Knicks at the No. 2 position so quickly was because of his own efforts, on the other hand, Thibodeau's dissatisfaction with Crawford's inaction on the defensive end, and then Thibodeau's dissatisfaction with Crawford, and then the position of Crawford in the head coach's heart plummeted, all of which indirectly led to Stucky's rapid success.

After Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball through the halfcourt, this time Kobe did not pass the ball to Fisher, nor did he pass the ball to Gasol, but played alone, and when it came to the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant was extremely confident in his hand, but there was a little hidden danger, that is, in the fourth quarter of the game, the touch time of the four people except Kobe Bryant was too short. Short you can't believe it. The main reason is that Kobe Bryant has a lot of solo shots today, Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball through the half court, and then went straight alone. This is not uncommon. Kobe Bryant shot directly without even going through someone else's pour, so that Kobe Bryant was cool and saved offensive time, but the problem was that other players couldn't touch the ball, or if the opportunity to contact the ball was not enough. Then it has a great impact on the player's feel, if you let you touch the ball inside for a certain period of time, but suddenly pass the ball to you, I believe that the earthlings will not score.

Kobe Bryant's time with the ball, or Kobe's long time touching the ball, will naturally cause the corresponding other players' touch time to be shortened.

There is always a need for a focus in the triangle offense, when O'Neal was young, the Lakers' focus at that time was obviously O'Neal on the inside, but after O'Neal left, the focus became obvious to Kobe. However, if the triangle offense focuses on holding too much ball, it will also cause the triangle offense to collapse, and Jordan used to be like this. Jordan's personal ability naturally doesn't need to be said before, but Jordan is able to spread the ball to his teammates when he scores. This is not to say that Jordan's offensive desire is not strong, on the contrary, Jordan's offensive desire is very strong, but in such a situation, Jordan can still do this, and that is because of Phil Jackson's savings. Phil Jackson's understanding of the triangle offense is that this focus does require the burden of offense, and it does have to face more defensive pressure. But you can't have 90 percent of the ball. At that time, Jordan also said that their offensive goal rate was not as high as mine, so why should I let someone who is not sure shoot this ball.

Phil Jackson said to Jordan at the time, if you own 90% of the ball, then other players will lose their hand if they don't have the ball in their hands. But if you own 50 per cent of the ball and give the other players a little feeling, then the whole team will run more smoothly. The team is more likely to win.

And Jordan listened to Phil Jackson's words, so he was able to get a championship ring and build the Bulls dynasty.

If you want to achieve something, you have to make sacrifices. This is the immutable law of the world.

Which of these basketball superstars didn't sacrifice their playtime to practice to achieve such an achievement. Whether it's Kobe Bryant, James or Chen Jiyuan, no one can succeed without hard work.

Kobe's behavior in this game is obviously that he occupies 80% of the ball, and then in exchange for his high score. And now the situation is that the rest of the Lakers feel cold and cold to the hand.

The Lakers' victory or defeat in this game can be said to be all on Kobe Bryant alone. It's unrealistic to expect someone else at this time.

Bryant turned his back and singled Stephen Jackson with his back, arched twice, and then threw a backward turnaround jumper. The angle of recline is very large, and there is no way to close the cap. I can only watch Kobe Bryant make a move. Kobe Bryant hit the ball steadily. The ball goes in. 93:95。 Nix's shape shì is a bit unpleasant.

The Knicks' shot here, the ball still didn't go in, this time it was Chen Jiyuan's shot, Chen Jiyuan's big two-point shot, didn't go in. Off, Love didn't grab an offensive rebound. After Chen Jiyuan reached the fourth quarter of the game, he didn't feel as good as before, but today Chen Jiyuan's hand was not good overall. Chen Jiyuan himself was also very melancholy, after throwing this ball and not scoring it, Chen Jiyuan was also very annoyed and slapped his hand fiercely.

Although Chen Jiyuan did not succeed on the offensive end, Chen Jiyuan still contributed his strength to the defense, and it was also quite effective.

Chen Jiyuan faced Kobe's sprint, Chen Jiyuan jumped vertically, just worried about being blown foul, and then straightened his arms, interfering with Kobe's shooting sight and shooting space, this time the defense was successful, under Chen Jiyuan's interference, Kobe's layup did not go up, mainly because this layup was too interfering, there was no too good shooting space, and then at the same time Chen Jiyuan and Stephen Jackson interfered at the same time, so it is normal not to score, and it is a good ball to score.

Love successfully guarded the backcourt rebound on the other side and didn't give Gasol a chance to grab the offensive rebound.

Barkley saw that Kobe Bryant fell into singles mode again, and decisively began to taunt Kobe. There was no one in this league that Barkley would not dare to mock.

"Kobe Bryant once again managed to lead the team to the lead with a super shooting percentage. Chen's offensive ability is still a little worse than Kobe's, after all, it is the struggle between the scoring champion and the former scoring champion. Originally, everyone was looking forward to the highlights, but it didn't feel so passionate. ”

It's too dark. The Lakers are indeed ahead of the Knicks, but Kobe's shooting percentage is not so good-looking, Kobe Bryant has scored 54 points so far, which seems to be a high score, and it is indeed a high score, but it was exchanged for 41 shots, Kobe Bryant shot 17 of 41 today, 6 of 15 three-pointers, and 14 of 16 free throws. He finished with 54 points, along with four rebounds and zero assists.

Chen Jiyuan and Bryant couldn't hear what Barkley was saying, and they didn't have time to worry about those things. Now both of them are thinking about how to win.

This offense of the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan even if he knew that he didn't feel good, but he still wanted to do it himself, Chen Jiyuan reached out to ask for the ball, Sessions looked at the shape on the court, and it was indeed no good choice, so Sessions still passed the ball to Chen Jiyuan, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he turned around and prepared to break through the frame, Gasol quickly made an active defensive appearance, always ready.

Chen Jiyuan didn't have a lot of physical tricks, Chen Jiyuan was a right-hand probe, the first time Gasol was not moved, but when Chen Jiyuan probed again, Gasol moved, this was Gasol's judgment error, Chen Jiyuan quickly walked on Gasol's right side, that is, the direction of his left side, and came to the position of the bottom line, Gasol also quickly adjusted the direction and chased Chen Jiyuan. But Chen Jiyuan was already half a body ahead of Gasol, and after Chen Jiyuan rushed in, he pushed Gasol away with his right hand, and then made a layup with his left hand, and the ball hit the board into the basket. Chen Jiyuan's left hand is definitely not as dexterous as his right hand, but it doesn't mean that he can't make a move, because Chen Jiyuan was originally a guy who listened dexterously with both left and right hands. After exercising for such a long time, he insisted on hooking the left and right hands every day, so now Chen Jiyuan's left hand is becoming more and more dexterous. Because Chen Jiyuan's right hand separated Gasol, Gasol didn't even touch the ball at all with his arm. All you can do is watch the ball wipe the board into the basket. 95:95。

After that, the Lakers' Chen Jiyuan's bag was even more resolute. Chen Jiyuan also didn't have a good chance to shoot, fortunately, his teammates gave him strength, and Kobe Bryant continued to attack on the Lakers' side, during this period, because Stephen Jackson's defense of Kobe Bryant was very tight, so his teammates also shot a few times one after another, but the effect was average, and Gasol hit a mid-range. Ariza scored a point on one of two free throws.

On the Knicks' side, it was Sessions who hit a three-pointer and Starkey hit a two-pointer from close range when he was off balance. Love hit a two-pointer, and Love grabbed a rebound and hit a second layup.

As a result, with the final minute of the game, the Knicks still led the Lakers by six points. 104:98。

It's time for the absolute winner of the game. In the final minute, there were six points left in the score. No matter how you look at it, the Knicks have the advantage. However, it can't be absolute, because many things happen when you don't think of it. Take, for example, the miracle of Maddie. No one dares to guarantee that such a thing will not happen again.

On the Lakers' side, Phil Jackson asked for a timeout, and he needed to be steady at this time, if the ball couldn't be scored, then the Lakers would fall into a very passive situation, and they had to foul tactics.

Therefore, this ball must be well arranged, must find a good opportunity to shoot, there can be no accidents, it must be scored, and the Lakers still hope to win.

Phil Jackson didn't know how to arrange Chen Jiyuan, but how Thibodeau arranged the defense, Chen Jiyuan knew.

Starkey went off the court, Tony Allen and Stephen Jackson came on the court, and implemented a trap tactic against Kobe Bryant and defended Ariza, which was a very bold decision, but Thibodeau was in such a row, so the Knicks players had to do this. As for the big man grabbing the rebound, if the opponent fouls, the Knicks are not very afraid, because Chen Jiyuan himself is one of the most accurate big men in the entire league. The big man who can do the same thing as Chen Jiyuan is the little oriental giant from the same country as Chen Jiyuan - Yao Ming.

Both of the Knicks' interior players made free throws. Although Lefu is a rookie, but the free throw shooting rate is also absolutely qualified, although because in this world Thibodeau's requirements for Lefu are more defensive, but Lefu already has a good shooting skills, in addition to the fact that Thibodeau requires Lefu to practice more defense, but Lefu still practices his shooting from time to time, it seems that Lefu will never be willing to be a defensive cornerstone and finish. What's more, Lefu is very aware of his shortcomings, and the weakness of slow movement on the defensive end is easy to show.

Thibodeau sent this lineup. In a sense, it's the most correct, because the Knicks are in the lead, and it's still in the final moments of the game, so it's a smart choice to put in a double defensive gate. Because the current Lakers are the most anxious to score.

After the timeout, the Lakers served the frontcourt sideline. Odom stands on the sidelines and serves the ball. Fisher ran over to answer. Received Odom's ball.

However, Bryant couldn't catch the ball at all, because Tony Allen and Stephen Jackson had already double-packed Kobe Bryant. Bryant simply didn't have the opportunity and the space.

This behavior is indeed very risky, and Fisher also gave the ball to Ariza of the point guard, but Ariza was completely afraid to shoot, the previous ball did not score, and he gradually lost confidence a little bit. So this ball, although there was no one around Ariza for 30 meters, Ariza still didn't dare to shoot, Ariza brought the ball forward, hoping to attract a bag, but unfortunately, the Knicks under Thibodeau's arrangement, quoted Kobe Bryant, and let go of Ariza's tactics were very resolute.

Ariza had no choice, and after taking two steps inside, he still made a mid-range shot, and then, just after Ariza himself made this shot, he knew in his heart that something bad was wrong.

Sure enough, it was out of the way, and Chen Jiyuan successfully grabbed this key rebound.

At this time, there were 54 seconds left in the game. There is still plenty of time. So the Lakers weren't in a hurry to foul the game. The main thing is that this attack went too fast. The Knicks' defensive tactics took the Lakers by surprise for a while. And the resolute execution of the tactics of the Knicks' players surprised the Lakers' players.

After the Knicks dribbled the ball past halftime, Sessions decisively began to stall for time. This behavior really made the Lakers' players angry, but there was nothing they could do.

Fisher wanted to step up to the ball, but he didn't have the slightest chance. Sessions' dribbling skills are definitely very qualified.

Sessions dragged on until there were 8 seconds left in the offensive time, then moved the ball horizontally, and then gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan.

Sure enough, at this time, the Knicks' offense still had to be handed over to Chen Jiyuan.

After Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he faced Gasol's defense, but after receiving the ball, Ariza's bag soon came up. Chen Jiyuan passed the ball directly to Stephen Jackson, and then, instead of standing still, he ran inside. After Stephen Jackson received the ball, although the previous shooting rate was very low, this did not affect Stephen Jackson's determination to shoot, Stephen Jackson directly shot a three-point shot, but unfortunately, even if the determination is big, the ball will not go in. Chen Jiyuan ran to the inside line and wanted to grab the rebound, but after Chen Jiyuan jumped, Gasol also jumped, but Gasol didn't grab it, but directly hit the ball out.

Kobe Bryant on the outside saw Qiu Fei running to the frontcourt, facing Tony Allen's defense outside the three-point line, and made a three-point shot directly. Pregnant. The ball went in.

The direction of the wind is a little wrong.
