"I played like and I'm going to take full responsibility for the team's loss.

We should have won the game, but my comeback disrupted the chemistry.

Our players played hard and I believe we can win the game. ”

In the post-game interview after the game, Garnett took the initiative to take responsibility for the loss, which made the reporters who wanted to say a few words about Garnett unable to speak.

Coincidentally, although Doon scored a high score, he was still responsible for the team's loss as the team's boss after losing.

Overall, after losing G3, the atmosphere within the Bulls is still okay.

Everyone knows that the reason for the loss is not a matter of strength, but the referee's shot that broke the balance of the game.

The Bulls are catching up with Garnett's comeback, and as Garnett himself said, the chemistry in the team has been disrupted, and some players have played a little awkwardly, and then they haven't played well.

However, it is not a big problem, after losing G3, the Bulls players also have urgency, and when they practice in the hotel, they become more hardworking.

In the hard training day after day, the time unconsciously came to June 12th.

The Bulls and Lakers finals G4 started again, and Garnett still came off the bench tonight.

After all, the Bulls have two wins in hand, even if they lose three away games, as long as the team's morale does not collapse, they still have a chance to return to the home court with the help of the whistle to pull back a game and play the final tie-break.

Therefore, the bull will not give up eating because of choking, and completely abandon Garnett because Garnett's comeback is not effective.

Slowly training with the game to help Garnett adjust his state can be said to be the unanimous idea of the Bulls.

Originally, the Lakers' interior twin towers played the Bulls' remnants, which was the advantage.

If Garnett can recover seven or eight percent of his strength, it will be much easier for the Bulls to win.

To get back to the point, Milicic is still playing well, and to a certain extent, Milicic has finally brought out his talent gradually.

It's a pity that the stage when the ball should be raised has not been well cultivated, and now Milicic lacks the ability to attack independently.

The Bulls still have Josh Smith to develop, and there aren't many for Milicic in terms of ball possession.

This has led to Milicic, who is now only a blue-collar center with the Bulls.

Milicic helped the Bulls jump to possession, and Doon got the ball in front of him and was caught in the middle of the court and passed the ball back to Cassel.

Kassel took the ball and played a block with Milicic, who was supposed to cover Doon, who cut to the basket according to the tactics, received the ball and dunked the ball against Gasol.

As soon as it came up, it was a violent dunk, which immediately aroused the fighting spirit of the whole Bulls team.

The other four on the court were just smiling, while the Bulls bench players on the sidelines cheered one by one, either jumping from the bench or waving towels constantly.

However, the Lakers fans at the scene kept boos to suppress the excitement of the Bulls players.

This is not the first time that a Bulls player has played in the Finals, so naturally he will not be affected by this.

The Lakers' offensive round, similar to the previous game, Kobe Bryant held the ball to find his teammates, and used his own attraction defense to help his teammates score better.

However, after the G3 loss, the Bulls also reviewed the losses after the game.

This time, the Bulls just let Doon consume Kobe Bryant first, and didn't choose to pinch too quickly.

In Kobe's 1v1 situation, naturally there is no situation where he does not dare to shoot.

The Lakers' main tactic was the triangle offense, and the stars had a chance to play alone, so why continue to pass the ball?

Just do it! Bryant burst near the free throw line, suddenly pulled back to his crotch and shook Doon before breaking through.

Seeing that Doon was shaken off his center of gravity, he stopped again and finally made a jump shot.

Bryant found plenty of room to shoot with a strong finish, but Doon's block came just in time.

Doon's fingertips clearly felt the touch of scraping the basketball, and when Doon turned around, sure enough, the basketball smashed into the front of the basket and bounced out directly.

It's a pity that it didn't bounce to Doon's side, but it was still grabbed by Roel Deng, who rushed to the basket.

Immediately afterwards, Luol Deng quickly got off the dragon and ran directly towards the front.

At the same time, Doon also played a fast break on the other side.

Kobe Bryant stared at Doon closely, not leaving an inch, and Wharton Jr. defended Roel Deng alone, and his body was not at the same level at all, so he could only foul in advance.

The Bulls re-served from the sideline, and Doon continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, looking for teammates to cover.

The Lakers still opted for a pinch, and Doane handed the ball to Rohr Deng, who took the ball and quickly burst inside.

The Lakers' interior twin towers hurriedly assisted, and Roel Deng re-passed the ball to Cassel on the wing, who got the ball and passed it to Doon.

Because the Lakers set up a joint defense, Kobe Bryant also shrank back after Doon came out, and this time Doon received the ball, which was completely an open opportunity.

Time was of the essence, and Doon did not adjust and made a direct three-point shot.

Brush –

The basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and Doon hit a shot in a fast, accurate and ruthless way to help the Bulls shoot the first three-pointer of the game.

5-0, although it was only the beginning, the Lakers fought at home and were beaten 5-0 by the Bulls, and the scene was still a bit ugly.

And now that the Lakers need someone to score, Kobe Bryant naturally can't do nothing.

Soon Kobe Bryant got the ball again, and Doon immediately defended it.

Even though the referee didn't allow Doon to play Kobe Bryant, Doon still used some physical contact to limit Kobe's dribble.

Bryant didn't have anything to dislike about this, but tried to find a way to make a shot during the dribble as much as possible.

Although Bryant's shot selection was bad, he was able to make a shot.

Unlike some players, who are not skilled enough to shoot, it is easy to be predicted by the opponent when they raise their hands to shoot, either they are stealed when they raise their hands, or they are covered in front of them when they shoot.

Even if Kobe Bryant has a difficult ball, he will definitely be able to shoot.

Just like shooting with Kobe, some stars don't dare to shoot at all, and they can't find space to shoot in just a few seconds.

Now in this one-on-one battle, Kobe Bryant also quickly found a shooting opportunity.

It's just that Kobe Bryant's hand doesn't feel as good as before.

Perhaps, the playoffs went all the way to the finals G4, and Kobe's body finally began to protest because he was too tired.

Kobe Bryant forced his willpower to stick to the game, but his form was inevitably affected.

Duang——

Kobe Bryant failed to beat Doon twice in singles, and his hand felt very cold.

However, at this time, the Lakers players at the scene were not silent, watching Milicic grab the rebound under the basket, Lakers fans immediately shouted: "Defense, defense, defense!" ”

Milicic passes the ball to Rohr Deng on a fast break, or shortly after receiving the ball, he immediately passes the ball back to Kassel.

Wharton Jr. just wanted to foul but couldn't do it, but Cassel dribbled to the three-point line and passed the ball back.

I saw a figure fly into the sky, and then a pair of big hands took off the basketball in the air, and then smashed the ball into the basket.

"We are the Chicago Bulls!"

When Deng came off the basket, he threw punches and roared at the baseline with his chest held out to boost the team's morale.

And the Zen master saw that the Lakers were beaten 7-0 by the Bulls, so he had to call a timeout first.

“You snooze， you lose！”

The Zen master spoke a slang sentence in front of the Lakers' starting five tigers.

The meaning is very simple, the literal translation is that you take a nap, you lose!

And in the current scenario, it's a game, and once you relax, the opponent overtakes you.

The start of the game was beaten 7-0 by the Bulls, and the Lakers players on the court were definitely not clean, and everyone relaxed.

Especially after being beaten by the Bulls into a transition offense, the Lakers' return defense must have a problem.

Of course, Kobe Bryant singled out Doane in a row and missed, which really needs to be paid attention to.

However, this is Kobe, as long as the ball is in Kobe's hands, as long as it is one-on-one, even if Kobe Bryant's hand is bad, Kobe Bryant will definitely shoot.

The Zen master understood Kobe's character, so he didn't say anything about it.

In the Zen master's view, the most critical problem now is the defensive problem, which is that there are some problems with the concentration of the Lakers players.

Perhaps, this is also one of the sequelae of winning.

The Lakers have been losing games before, and the game is under a lot of pressure, and the Lakers players have always been nervous during the game, training, and life.

But just a few days ago, I suddenly won a game, and I was suddenly relieved.

It's good to vent stress, but now it's more difficult to readjust to the previous state of concentration and concentration.

Obviously, the Bulls players have also noticed that there are some minor problems in the form of the Lakers players tonight, at least the Lakers starters.

As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the bull will naturally not miss this good opportunity to take advantage of the weakness, take advantage of the danger of others, and fall into the well.

Next, the Lakers chose to let the interior play a dozen first, and let the others find a feeling.

After all, Kobe Bryant's efficiency in single-playing Doon is not high, and if he continues to give the ball to Kobe, then it is very likely that the Lakers fans on the scene can only be pleased with Kobe's picturesque beauty.

Winning is the first priority, and he can only hope that other key players can help the team score.

However, O'Neal Jr. only scored a mid-range, and Doon made a three-pointer in the next round.

Three points are one more point than two, and Doon scored two three-pointers in a row at the beginning of the first quarter, one of which was scored after a timeout, which shows that Doon felt good tonight.

In the first two days, Doon didn't feel too good, and he easily scored 43 points.

It was all the more noteworthy that Doon started with a three-pointer tonight.

For this reason, Doon did not receive the ball, and Kobe Bryant did not leave an inch, constantly looking for opportunities to physically confront Doon.

Doon noticed a change in Kobe's defensive style, so he changed his style of play, and took the initiative to run to the low post in the offensive round.

If Kobe Bryant wanted to find a confrontation, Doon took the initiative to fight him.

In the low post, Doon can use tonnage to suppress Kobe Bryant fiercely, and make most of Kobe's defensive methods ineffective.

Whenever Doon receives the ball with his back in the low post, Hinrich and Wharton Jr. on the outside can only come over to help defend and prevent Doon from receiving the ball.

Even O'Neal Jr., who is on the inside, needs to lean towards Doon's side.

But as soon as the hair moved, Doon was strictly guarded, and the other points of the bull were released.

Perhaps the Lakers also intended to let the Bulls play others to limit Doane's ability to score with the ball.

However, this is not the same as in the past, and the other players of the G3 Bulls did not play well before, but tonight they found their feelings.

It can only be said that the G3 loss still played a role.

Players who have been winning have always remembered the losing games more memorably.

Most Bulls players, in just one game, memorize how to play at the Staples Center.

Perhaps, before the game started, no one expected that the first person to score a double in this game would be Roel Deng.

The first quarter played more than 7 minutes and had already scored 10 points.

Originally, Scott Skeyles was ready to make a substitution and replace Rohr Deng.

However, with Rohr Deng playing so well tonight, Scott Skells naturally had to make some changes to the squad in line with the performance of his players.

One thing to say, although Scott Skels only became a champion coach by holding Doon's thigh.

However, who feels good and who plays on the court, this most basic coaching concept is still very clear.

It was also because of Scott Skels' support that Roel Deng played the first quarter, and then handed over 7 of 10 shots in a single quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, and a 16-point answer sheet in a single quarter, becoming the biggest contributor to the Bulls' lead over the Lakers in the first quarter.

In other words, it was also Roel Deng who played well, and although Doon played 10 minutes in the first quarter, he did not consume much physical energy.

In order to win, Doon naturally played early in the second quarter to help the team make persistent efforts and strive to further expand the point difference.

Coincidentally, Kobe Bryant was in a similar situation to Doon, who didn't have much of the ball in the first quarter and didn't consume much energy.

Because of the poor state of the game at the beginning, Kobe Bryant reduced some offensive scenes in the tactical arrangement.

And Doon, who is the main defender, didn't receive many balls because he went around the front defense, so Kobe Bryant could only follow Doon to smoke in the bottom corner.

In order to help the team, Kobe Bryant naturally had a plan to travel off-peak at the beginning of the second quarter.

It's just that he happened to collide with Doon, and Kobe Bryant showed no signs of recovering under Doon's defense.

Physically too tired?

Or is the mood too eager?

Or was he rewarded by his wife the night before?

No one knows what Kobe Bryant's situation is, everyone can only see that Kobe Bryant keeps playing iron, although he occasionally scores some points, but he is dragging the team down with offense.

"Kobe Bryant got KG, but who's going to get Doon and Roel Deng?"

"Defend, defend, defend! Protect the rebounding ball, damn it, don't lose rebounds again! ”

"We need someone to step up!"

The more Lakers fans watched it, the more anxious they became, after all, they made Garnett's mistake, and the more time they played, the more adverse effects on the team.

Although Bryant provided a lot of contributions on the defensive end, it was difficult for the team boss to score, and instead asked other players to score to chase points, which is somewhat unreasonable.

And Kobe Bryant is a strong person, and it is impossible for the Zen master to press Kobe to the bench with a pause, or let Kobe be a sapper, not touching the ball at all, and only concentrating on defense.

So, no way, the Lakers fell into a dead end that they couldn't defend and couldn't attack.

Even though the referee was more frantic in the second half, it still couldn't change the direction of the game.

112-89, after playing G4, Garnett, who found his form in the last half of garbage time, finally showed a bright smile.

"I'm playing with the best players in the world, I'm playing with the best team in the world, and I'm ready to be a champion!" (End of chapter)
