"I still can't agree with the decision to send O'Neill away." At the pre-match press conference, the Zen master said:

"I'll admit he's down in both technical and physical condition, and he's not going to be able to go up in value, but he's still O'Neal, one of the most dominant players in the league today, and maybe no one will ever be able to replace him."

The Zen master did not shy away from topics that could be embarrassing for management and bosses, as his predecessor did.

Rather than squirming and looking for excuses, it is better to fail head-on...... Especially, it was not he who caused the failure.

Of course, the Zen master is not simply complaining here.

He mentioned this point of view in his autobiography "The Last Season" written after he left the Lakers last year, and now he is repeating the same old tune, in addition to showing his wisdom and vision, selling O'Neal a face, and finding a way out for possible failure.

The main thing is to relieve the pressure on the team.

One thing to say, Kobe Bryant will get along well with Riley because they both like to put pressure on their own families.

In the Zen master's basketball philosophy, stress is almost as meaningful to players as water, and it is a necessity that players can't live without, but too much intake can also be harmful to health and affect performance.

Everyone understands the truth, but emotions are not something he can control.

Who would have thought that O'Neal would be able to provoke Kobe's anger without saying anything.

None of the other Heat players have said anything bad about Kobe Bryant or the Lakers.

Even the media didn't arch the fire as it did last year.

The Heat won the championship, while the Lakers failed to make it to the Finals, and many things were meaningless to argue.

However, if people are self-defeating, then there is really nothing else to do.

To say that he is not is to despise him; If you don't talk about him or mention him, it means that you don't reassure him, and you look down on him even more!

On the bright side, Kobe Bryant, like the Heat players, behaves quite chic and light.

But as soon as he left the camera, this guy immediately changed to another black face that drips oil.

If Joe's gang leader has a perverted desire to win, then Kobe Bryant has a perverted desire to win.

However, this time, Kobe's brain supplement is really close to the truth.

The Heat players really didn't take the Lakers to heart, and they didn't pay much attention to this Christmas game.

Ao Fat no longer needs to rely on belittling Kobe Bryant to reflect his greatness.

At the superstar level, the ring is the absolute right to speak.

The last two championships of the Lakers dynasty, Kobe Bryant has a lot of credit, Ao Fat can't deny it, but he has a championship without Kobe's imprint, which quite bluntly proves that Kobe is not irreplaceable.

NBC conducted a survey in Los Angeles this summer, and under Kobe's leadership, the Lakers could still get a championship ring, and 65% of the 15,000 votes chose [0].

The Lakers' record has improved this year and can be ranked at the top of the league.

However, there are many teams ranked top in the league, but only the Pistons have won them.

"In fact, the Lakers are not completely without a chance to win, if you compete with stars, the two sides are not at the same level at all, but they also have their own advantages, that is, not inferior to the mobility of the Pistons." In the commentary room, Kenny Smith is forcing the Lakers to save their respect.

And when it comes to staffing, the Lakers are not as weak as they think.

Needless to say, Kobe Bryant is currently second only to Iverson in the scoring charts, and his shooting percentage is also the highest in his season since entering the league, and the 28-year-old has entered the peak of his career.

Rookie Chris Paul currently seems to be the best rookie in the class of '05, even if there is still a big gap between the playmaking and the top point guards in terms of organization, but it is good enough for a rookie.

Odom, who was also drafted by Los Angeles (Clippers) with the fourth pick, didn't have to take on so much ball-handling transfer work, I originally thought he could put more energy into rim protection and rebounding, but I didn't expect that the first thing to improve was his offense, averaging 18 points per game, and both 2-pointers and 3-pointers hit a new high! ”

Barkley disagreed, but it was rare that he did not have a direct rebuttal.

He just smiled and flicked his Heat's starting list.

"Oh yes, I'll admit that the Lakers have improved a lot since Phil came back from last season, but do you need me to introduce you to their opponents, how scary is the Heat, who have only lost one game so far?"

As soon as he said this, Kenny Smithton, who was still in high spirits just now, was dumbfounded, but changed to a dry tone:

"It's useless to talk too much, you have to watch the game!"

It's blowing well, what facts are you talking about, can't you afford to play?

On the field, amid the cheers of the audience, players from both sides arrived one after another.

The Lakers don't have much money, but they like to be broad, and they take out everything they can get their hands on: Paul, Kobe, Sprewell, Odom, Kwame Brown.

This lineup, even Kwame Brown, can barely top Ao Fat, but it is only a top, and they mainly play fast offensive counterattacks.

Fast attack should be the Zen master's best tactic in addition to the triangle attack, whether it is the Bulls dynasty or the Lakers dynasty, fast attack is an indispensable part.

The Heat came up with a regular lineup: Mo Wen, Wade, Finley, Haslem, O'Neal.

If it weren't for O'Neal's unusual body shape, the current heat would really be a bit of the swing man in Riley's mouth.

Mo, Wei, Ha three young people have the ability to push quickly, although Finley is old, but he was also able to play 37 minutes in the Mavericks last season to play the top model worker, he degenerated into an outside battery in the Heat, and also has to make time for the substitute Rasul, regardless of the physical consumption, his running ability on both offensive and defensive ends is no worse than the youngsters.

The Heat's lineup, except for the inside line of the rushing beast like Xiao Si, really has no obvious shortcomings.

Two bundles of gifts were thrown into the spectators on the sidelines, and the Heat players reluctantly stood back on the court like children who had been called home for dinner.

In the middle circle, Kwame Brown, whose neck was pressed against the black mamba's fangs, exploded in potential, jumped first, shot the ball first, and performed a jump ball violation when he came up.

The referee's whistle was in his mouth, and he hesitated, but still didn't blow it, just gave the Lakers a glare warning.

There is a gap in strength between the two sides, and for the sake of the "spectacle" of the Christmas game, even at Miami's home court, they have to favor the Lakers.

Heat players have also noticed this, but a jump ball is just a Lakers, and it is given to the Lakers.

After all, with the success rate of Ao Fat's jump ball this year, let them come up and play first, and they may not be used to it.

Paul didn't feel nervous, only excited.

As a very expressive person, there is nothing more wonderful than being able to show off in the highest-rated Christmas game in the regular season in his rookie season.

It's a pity that before he could be happy, the Lakers' opening fast-break raid failed to play, and the ball was taken away by the evil Kobe.

Glancing at the overall shrinking formation of the Heat, Kobe suppressed the urge to force a single.

After the Zen master came back, he brainwashed him every day to be a leader like Danzi and Ao Fat, learn to delegate power and train his teammates.

Of course, this can't change Kobe's stubborn cognition, but it also alleviates Kobe's obsession with singles to a certain extent.

The Lakers need Kobe Bryant's singles, but they don't need Kobe to play all the time.

Paul, who was off the ball, took Wade to run around in circles on the bottom line, the Lakers' two inside lines mentioned the elbow area, and found the cover of the madman in the high post, Kobe Bryant stepped into the three-point line, and found Odom's cover, and opened up half a body distance from Mo Wen, Kobe Bryant did not get out of the ball, but ran in the direction of Kwame Brown.

Ao Fat, who had just fallen into position, was indifferent to Kobe's roll call and adhered to his inner line.

Kobe Bryant took a big stride and drifted back, dodging Mo Wen's flying body.

On the way to glide, the sky sound wave was thrown... Oh no, it's basketball.

Hmmm-

The difficulty of this ball is really high, but it is still within the range of the little blacksmith.

Mo Wen's pursuit and defense are no problem, but no matter how much experience he has with this kind of ball, he can't prevent it.

Kobe Bryant doesn't have as much game experience as Mo Wen, but his training time is unique in the league.

A hundredfold effort, there will be success in the end.

Ao Fat served on the bottom line, Mo Wen held the ball and advanced steadily, last night's "Christmas Eve dinner" was quite rich, and it was not suitable for strenuous exercise if he was too full.

Suddenly thinking of the text message from last night, he had a tentative thought.

After the logo area, Mo Wen is a foot on the brake to worship the Buddha.

Bryant, who was engrossed, stomped his feet and twisted his waist, and turned around and sealed it with his strong coordination.

This kind of ultra-long three-point Mo Wen has to blind two almost every game, and it has become one of Mo Wen's symbols.

After the Heat's "throne" became higher and higher, Mo Wen's playing style became more and more unrestrained.

At first, this behavior would also cause Pat Riley to spit fragrantly, but later found that Mo Wen's shot was accurate enough, and the pragmatist Riley did not scold, but changed the coach of the turnover team to doubt life.

And recently, after Mo Wen's three-point collection became well-known in the United States, the people who hated Mo Wen further expanded to high school and college coaches.

The NBA that the dog said mistook people's children and harmed people a lot.

In the 90s, they made a Jordan and hurt their students, either leaning back in an empty position or pulling up a basket in an empty space.

In the 00s, he promoted Ao Fat, Carter, and the whole child with a little talent wanted to dunk, but he didn't know how many arms he had broken.

Now it's a super long three-pointer.

The long rebound can be bounced out of bounds directly, is this really a skill that can be used on the court?

Seeing that the nagging reaction was very fast, Mo Wen didn't mean to play to the end, and the basketball that was about to be closed was slammed forward by Mo Wen.

If Kobe Bryant had reacted a little slower just now, this worship of the Buddha would have been a real vote.

It's too late to wave goodbye.

Driving past the hideous-looking Kobe, Mo Wen turned on the man-ball integration mode and ran towards the basket recklessly.

But to Mo Wen's surprise, a slightly short figure on the way outflanked him from the side and was about to rob him.

Paul looks short and small, but his physicality is definitely ceiling-level at 180.

And with his little black hand.

That's the smell!

However, since he chose to challenge, Mo Wen could only give respect.

The young technician's kung fu is not at home, and Mo Wen can only demonstrate in person.

In the exquisite confrontation teaching, Mo Wen's speed was not affected much, and seeing that he was about to reach the basket, Mo Wen threw off the small cannon and put away the tuition.

Kwame Brown, who came from the side, couldn't get back to the basket in time, but mistakenly hit the front car to catch Paul, who was about to fall.

Boom –

Mo Wen easily dunked the basketball in the same way that he elbowed Paul with ease.

2：2。

Falling from the basket, Mo Wen didn't celebrate, as if the dunk was not worth mentioning, naturally, he didn't care about the unwilling Paul on the other side.

Seeing Mo Wen just turn around and leave, Paul twisted his nose

It is worthy of the great power of the world, and this skill against this is indeed much stronger than the people he met before.

And compared with Kobe's hard elbow that has no skills and is full of whistles, Mo Wen's hand is the benchmark for point guards.

However, after playing such a good game, you don't even say "Welcome to the NBA, rookie", is it polite?

He was nervous for two seconds.

CP3 also experienced the humiliation of being ignored.

No, don't think about leaving this sentence today!

Lakers offense.

Kobe Bryant and Paul, who had just been teased, had anger burning in their eyes.

Paul dribbled quickly and wanted to take advantage of Otto's lack of return to play the difference.

But the Heat's four-man rotation has been quite mature, and it has not given the Lakers much of a chance.

Kwame Brown has a height advantage, but a head-to-head layup isn't his strength.

The current Lakers' fast-break speed has gone up, but their ability to open up space has regressed compared to last year.

Atkins, Peterson, and Meme, who could have opened up space, were either traded or sent to the bench, and the Lakers' current starting lineup has only Kobe and Odom with three-point ability.

Paul's three-point shooting in his rookie season was pretty bad, almost at Wade's level.

But it's not all bad.

Without the space and environment for singles, to some extent, it is also forcing someone to play tactics.

As long as they don't pass the ball to Kwame Brown, the Lakers' positional battle transfer is still quite fluid.

The Mad Guys, Odom, Kobe, and Paul all have the ability to be the core of the ball.

After a few interspersed runs, Bryant got the opportunity to single Wade in the low post.

He hit Wade, who was similar to his tonnage and strength, twice, and caught a glimpse of Fat Ao, who was eyeing Wade behind him, and did not go up, giving up the opportunity to Paul, who looked out of position after changing guards.

Mo Wen raised his eyelids in surprise.

Passed the ball in the second round?

You-are-who?!

Paul was unambiguous when he received the ball, pulled the ball out, and took advantage of his petite size to start breaking through.

However, "Grandpa St. Paul" is an evergreen tree as a copy, and Mo Wen is also very familiar with him.

When he was still a newcomer, he was not taught by this little clever ghost with attractive ears, and today is the time to repay the favor.

Keeping a certain distance, observing his fragmentary tentative steps, relying on his rich experience, Mo Wen could easily judge his offensive intentions, and he was stuck in front of him all the time, relying on his height and arm span to bully the small.

After shaking for a long time, and slamming like a fly in front of the window, Paul not only found Mo Wen's flaw, but was carelessly stabbed by Mo Wen and flew the basketball, although he recovered the basketball in time, but in Kobe's cold gaze, he could only symbolically dribble twice and then pass it out.

After two transmissions, the madman received the ball and threw the iron in the confrontation with Finley, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant, who was ambushed on the side, didn't trust him very much, or knew him very well, and when he saw him shooting, he took the initiative to run to the inside line and squeezed O'Neal to jump, and pointed the ball in before O'Fat's black hand reached out.

4：2.

Kobe Bryant learned from someone, pretending to be cold and did not celebrate.

Ao Fat pursed his lips and gave Mo Wen a look when he passed the ball.

In the next round, Mo Wen slowed down one step closer.

After Ao Fat was almost in position, he began to attack.

The outside line runs the position, the inside line wants to be in the position, the ball turns to the flow of people, and it is endless.

Seeing this scene, the Zen master touched his chin, this tactic cannot be said to be similar, it can only be said to be exactly the same.

It's a complete copy of the Lakers' triangle offense!

The triangle offensive is not a simple static position, but a complex and changeable dynamic tactic.

In the face of the triangle attack, as long as the defender does not go up, he will not be able to create empty spaces, only endless singles that will test the quality of the stars.

Kwame Brown's nerves were tense in the slightly chaotic run just now.

In the near distance is Ao Fat, who can crush him, in the distance is Mo Wen, a master of passing, and on the other side is Wade, who has broken through Dacheng, God knows how much pressure he has.

The only thing that can bring him some warmth is the Odangdang who has bowed to him and swore to him and was beaten together.

Although Odangdang's defense is also at the level of toilet paper in front of O'Fat, he won't look too naïve if one more person suffers.

"Watch out for Kwame!"

Paul's prompt made him subconsciously tense his muscles, so he was not directly knocked to the ground by Ao Fat's first round of force.

When he gritted his teeth to see what Ao Fat was crazy again, a bright red basketball had already been held on his head by Ao Fat.

Bang bang –

Without waiting for him to figure out what was going on.

Ao Fat's two hits were like S686 (shotgun double spray) slapping him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

On the way down, he also saw Odom's apologetic eyes on the outside.

Bang –

Ao Fat one-handed split buckle.

What does it feel like to have a full bullet velocity and body weight?

It's that you see him button, but you don't feel him jump.

"10!"

Bryant picked up the basketball on the ground, held the creditor's face, and stuffed the ball into the hands of Kwame Brown, who was pulled up by Paul.

"You can't blame Kwame, Kobe."

Paul defended the hapless child.

"This is the stadium, only the result, no reason!"

Kobe Bryant's cold gaze swept away, he never hid his harshness, Olney couldn't escape, and Kwame Brown wouldn't receive extra preferential treatment because of his weakness.

4：4。

The Lakers re-attacked, and Bryant used a death glare to convey the meaning to Paul.

The first two rounds felt good for him, and he wanted to try his own way to take over the game first.

In the fast movement, Paul found the right opportunity and passed the ball to Kobe, who squeezed away the unknown in the elbow match.

In the face of Haslem, who switched to him, Kobe Bryant shook him away with a smooth crotch change.

Holding the ball, a ballet turned, bypassing Au's fat elbow, Kobe Bryant's skillful layup was successful.

Hanging the weight of the inside line, it is smooth but like a lightweight outside line, this technology makes the home audience want to applaud when they see it.

6：4。

"Kobe Bryant felt good today, and he made all three shots, covering all the Lakers' opening scores." Barkley exclaimed.

"You have to believe Kobe, I've found out that he has this amazing trait, and when it comes to crunch moments, he's going to be better than usual." Kenny Smith found a tailwind feeling again.

"Do you remember the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks two days ago, he scored 30 points in the third quarter, and he scored 50 points in the third quarter, this terrifying scoring explosiveness, in my eyes, he is the most terrifying scorer in the league now!"

"Hey, hey, you didn't drink too much, not to mention Iverson, who averaged 33 points per game, and James, who was close to him in the scoring list, you just looked at Mo, who was with him, was not weaker than him."

Barkley's big face shook like a rattle.

"Do you want me to help you recall, Mo was a person who cut down a horrific 50+ triple-double in the previous playoffs! It was the playoffs! He doesn't score much now, it's all because the Heat have too many offensive points, give him a bad team, and his scoring performance will not be worse than Kobe Bryant and Iverson or James! ”

"Charles, you're too one-sided, Mo is very efficient and has had a lot of highlights, but you have to know that when he's the team's only scoring powerhouse, he's going to have a lot of defensive intensity that's not comparable to what he is now.

I remember someone counted that Mo is the most open shots among all players who score 20 points, and you can't ignore the blessing of the Heat lineup! Kenny Smith retorted, citing the scriptures.

"50+ triple-doubles, I remember that the Heat are not a full lineup, how do you explain this?"

"That's the highlight, Nash also has 40+ triple-doubles, but he is now leading the team to an average of 20 points per game!"

The commentary room is noisy.

The atmosphere on the pitch is also gradually heating up.

Ao Fat is in good shape today, Mo Wen controls the rhythm and tries to pass the ball to let Ao Fat play more.

If you ignore his 1-of-5 free throws like a dog, Au's 5-of-7 shooting in the first quarter was absolutely perfect.

It's a pity that the Heat didn't lead by a few points, because Kobe's hand also exploded!

Today, the referee's whistle on the breakthrough was very tight, and Wade and Kobe Bryant easily earned the whistle.

And with the whistle, Kobe Bryant played more easily and confidently.

The feeling was also raised in the free throws again and again, shooting 7 of 10 in the first quarter, 6 of 8 free throws, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scoring 21 points in a single quarter.

In this kind of blowing punishment environment, it is not easy to do anything, the supergiant is already difficult to prevent, and with the blessing of the whistle, it is like black silk and lace, what to resist?

The Heat also tried a few times in between, but it didn't make much sense.

When the superstar feels it, the defensive method is not nothing, and it is written in the foul penalty clause.

Mo Wen didn't want his efforts to become someone else's background board, so he didn't play the first quarter, and handed over the stage to the referee in the middle... Oh no, it's Peyton, I'm off the pitch first.

Kobe Bryant was not only crazy on the offensive end today, but also bit him on the defensive end.

Mo Wen shot two three-pointers, both of which were interfered with by him.

There was no positive confirmation, but judging from Kobe's precaution against his three points, the bet made in the text message should be real.

That's where it gets interesting.

In the case that his teammates are in good condition, Mo Wenle handed over the game to his teammates, on the other hand, Kobe Bryant is now consuming physical energy like no money, how long can he last?

Do the math, it's been a long time since I've played without a ball......
