896 NBA Shouldn't Be All About Wins and Championships!

59-56, the Los Angeles Lakers trailed by three points in the first half.

But after watching the first half of the game, Lakers fans didn't feel that there was a score difference between the two sides in this game, and it seemed so close.

The reason why the Lakers were able to maintain this difference in the first half was when Durant scored 22 points on 8-of-14 shooting.

It was all Kobe Bryant desperately maintained in the first half.

At the same time, the strongest man in the Seattle SuperSonics didn't shoot much at all in the first half!

In the first half, it felt like Kobe Bryant was constantly blocking and dismantling Artest, constantly playing Rondo in a misplaced position, constantly scoring, constantly scoring points, and finally the object of the soaring was not Yes, it was Durant!

Say it and probably no one will believe it.

In the first half of the seventh game of the Lakers and the SuperSonics, it was not Yes that was competing with Kobe, it was Durant!

The end result was still a sense of parity.

Bryant scored slightly more, but was a little less efficient.

On 10-of-18 shooting, Bryant scored 25 points in the first half.

Even with Kobe's performance, the Lakers are 3 points behind!

When your big boss tries his best, you can only compete with the opponent's second boss, and the opponent's big boss hasn't made a move yet, and you are still three points behind, which is still very desperate.

Now the Lakers fans and Phil Jackson on the scene are a little desperate.

Even the sweaty Kobe Bryant came off the court with a look of disbelief written on his face.

In this game, Phil Jackson took the initiative to give up the triangle offense in order to allow him to bypass Yes's defense.

Yes's routine of the triangle offense makes it impossible for him to avoid Yes's defense when playing the triangle offense, whether it is with or without the ball, he can't get around Yes's defense.

Therefore, Phil Jackson designed a strategy for him to use Artest's huge body and strength to constantly block and dismantle the misplaced Rondo or the misplaced Durant game.

If Rondo defends Artest, then he will play Rondo in a misplaced position, and Durant will play Durant if he defends Artest.

These two guys are certainly much easier to fight than Yes, but they're also not that easy to fight!

The arms spans of these two men are indeed long, and Rondo looks thin but quite hard.

The efficiency of playing this data in the first half is really the result of his all-out efforts.

Nima's, he did his best, and in the end, he couldn't force Yes out!

Nima's, isn't it that the undergraduate offense doesn't hit you, and avoids you to fight, and you don't even have the interest in attacking?!

Kobe Bryant's heart is very complicated right now.

As someone who has always wanted to go head-to-head with Yes, of course he doesn't want to avoid the game, but the team's victory needs it, and after Game 6, he is also willing to listen to Phil Jackson and implement the team's tactics.

But as long as he thought that his first half against Durant was not Yes, Kobe Bryant felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

There is a feeling that someone in the Lao Zike family is playing a good boy and is actually as famous as your Kevin Durant!

He doesn't have a problem with Durant, he still admires Durant, Durant is still a fan of him and TMC, and he used to take care of Durant when he was an All-Star.

But it's even more uncomfortable, okay!

In the NBA in the West, it is obviously South Kobe Bryant and North Yes, why did this game suddenly become South Kobe and North KD?!

3 out of 3!

Yes took three shots in the first half!

These three shots are also because Artest singled Yes twice and succeeded twice, and Yes responded twice.

and Randolph's misplaced singles Yes once, Yes responses.

Apart from these three attacks, Yes didn't even have the desire to shoot in the first half!

If it weren't for Yes being a domineering face-loving person, if it weren't for Artest and Randolph beating Yes three times, Kobe would even think that Yes probably didn't even have these three shots!

I'm not interested!

Yes is not interested in making a shot in this game at all!

In the previous games, he could feel that Yes was not giving it his all.

It's useless to go all out, that's also showing strength.

But in this game, Yes has no interest in even showing his strength!

This is nothing short of a mockery of him and the Lakers!

Koe's self-esteem is somewhat hurt!

But!

Self-esteem is hurt, but it's no wonder Yes is so Buddhist in this game.

Yes This season is carrying supersonic speed in almost every game, even the Iron Man will be tired, right?

Of the 82 regular season playoff games, 21 games have been played so far, and 103 games have been played!

It's hard to take a break, so why not take a break?

What's more, he Kobe Bryant and Durant are competing against each other, and there is no way to hammer Durant to death, what qualifications do you have to ask Yes to take action in person?

After all, this self-esteem is not something Yes let them lose, it is they who lose it!

"This game, the Lakers are finished."

In this game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, the Heat all hope that the SuperSonics will lose.

Although James has mixed feelings, he wants to take revenge against Yes, but he also doesn't want to face Yes.

Overall, he is more willing to see Yes eliminated in the Western Conference finals than revenge Yes in the finals.

But the game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers left James and the Heat at a loss for what to say.

"The West looks like a lot of strong teams every year, a lot of superstars, the best team of fifteen West, almost every season has more than twelve, a West is strong, the East is weak, really to such a game, these strongmen can't even win a supersonic."

"Hehe, so, the strongest is still our Heat, if it's really strong, can the Spurs be the black eight who won four games in a row? If it's really strong, Kobe Bryant can't even control someone like Durant? ”

"In the past, the east was indeed a dish, but the west was not much better, what is the most difficult championship in history, last season's Yes is also a good era!"

"If the Heat were placed last season, the Heat could win all the playoffs and win the championship!"

Listening to the cynicism of the Heat players around him about Kobe and the Lakers, James didn't say anything on the surface, he was a superstar, and they would still have to deal with Kobe in the future.

There are some things that cannot be said, and the relationship must be kept superficial.

But in his heart, James couldn't agree more.

Before Yes came along, Kobe Bryant and he were the league's first competitors.

His goal has always been Kobe.

It was only after Yes appeared that the rivalry between the two was eliminated.

But no matter what, Kobe Bryant is a top five or even top three figure in the league!

Characters on the top of the NBA pyramid.

is such a character, who can only compete with a second-in-command of the supersonic.

If Durant is a second-in-command like Wade, then forget it.

However, Durant is still the kind of talent that is recognized all over the world as not very good, and was cultivated and promoted by Yes from an ordinary person that Durant himself said.

Kobe Bryant can't even control Durant, does it mean that a player of Kobe's level can be mass-produced by Yes?

In the first half of the confrontation between Kobe and Durant, Kobe did win, but he didn't win much, at least he didn't feel the gap in grade.

It can be seen that there is a gap between Durant and Kobe Bryant on offense, but it is still the same level.

That's a bit of a shame......

I'm afraid it's not just them, the audience who is unfriendly to Kobe, who feels a little ashamed of Kobe.

Even Kobe Bryant himself feels ashamed, right?

But......

You are a superstar of this level, you can't even control a second-in-command, and you deserve to be ashamed!

James thought to himself with some disdain.

Durant is of this color, he can play two of them!

It's a tough situation!

Now the Lakers are in a very difficult situation!

Durant is the match code for this series between the SuperSonics and the Lakers.

What is Durant's state will determine the outcome of the matchup between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, two teams with similar lineups and equal strength.

If Durant in the sixth game is the Durant that Phil Jackson wants to see the most, then the Durant in this game is the Durant that Phil Jackson least wants to see.

Without Durant, the supersonic and the Lakers are inseparable, with Durant, Durant undercover, the Lakers win, with Durant, Durant is not undercover, the Lakers are likely to be cold, if Durant is super god, then the Lakers will definitely kneel!

Durant in the first half is the Durant who belongs to the supergod!

The Lakers didn't look like they were kneeling, really thanks to Kobe's play and Yes's excitement.

Seriously, the focus of this series is on Yes and Durant.

The focus of the world is whether Yes has spent such a big price in this series to help Durant up the mud.

In fact, outside of that focus, Kobe Bryant's performance in this series has really, really satisfied him.

The first six games averaged 40 points per game, and this game scored 25 points at halftime.

There are more shots than before, there are more irons than before, and there are also more points!

It can be said that this round of the series Kobe Bryant played the best form of his career.

As long as Kobe Bryant doesn't have a big breakthrough in the future, this series will be the best one of his career!

Kobe's performance in this series is simply what he had dreamed of Kobe doing before.

Kobe Bryant has gone all out to be the strongest, and he's also going all out to be the strongest, and the rest of the Lakers players are doing the same, and Kidd is even almost whitewashed!

But the most uncomfortable thing is that such a Laker can't even win the supersonic that Yes doesn't shoot!

Looking at Kobe Bryant's bloodthirsty eyes as he sat in his seat.

Phil Jackson was well aware that Kobe, who had a lot of self-esteem, would have a hard time tolerating content like that in the first half.

Because of the excellence of Game 6, Kobe Bryant was willing to listen to him in this game and play his tactics.

Avoid Yes in order to win, and don't face Yes head-on.

But......

Losing pride, but not winning it, is indeed quite hurtful.

"Congratulations, lads, you've had a very successful season."

As the atmosphere of despair slowly filled the Lakers' locker room, Phil Jackson finally sighed in his heart and spoke.

Kobe Bryant, who was originally in an unhappy and resentful state, looked up at Phil Jackson, who had a dissatisfied smile on his face at this time, and was a little surprised.

This old man......

Originally, he thought that the failure of becoming a god would make this old man even more depressed than he was.

After all, becoming a god has become a beating by Master Romar......

This kid!

Noticing Kobe's not very friendly eyes, a look that I think you are going to do something bad and spit bad water hurt Phil Jackson very much.

Am I that kind of person?!

But......

Phil Jackson shook his head with a smile in his heart and continued.

And hearing what Phil Jackson said, the players in the Lakers locker room were completely shocked.

Is this still the same Phil Jackson from before?!

Is that Phil Jackson, known as the Victory Expert, the Champion Master?!

55…… 56…… 48…… 58…… 39……

Coming out of the locker room, standing on the pitch again, watching the constant beating feel value on the superstar system at this time.

Ye Si frowned.

This year's playoffs have been really unkind to him.

From playing the Spurs to playing the Mavericks to playing the Lakers, his feel is very, very average.

If it is said that playing spurs is too ruthless, it hurts character, but why is it not much better when playing spurs?

So, where did my hand feel the bottom?

Although with his current strength, he can still force his shot.

But being able to shoot is being able to shoot, and he also has the status of forcing shots, but generally he is not willing to hold back his teammates and the team.

So when it's not necessary, he won't force his shot when the chances are not good.

What's more, he doesn't care much about the 30+ consecutive scoring record in the playoffs.

Now he doesn't really need a 30+ streak in the playoffs or a 20+ streak in the regular season to maintain his deterrent.

Of course, his teammates have also grown up, and he doesn't need to attract firepower to them like before, maybe I don't know when, Durant and they may be able to attract firepower for him.

Durant, who was only slightly inferior to Kobe Bryant in this game, gave him such confidence.

Honestly, it's really uncomfortable to be surrounded by two people all the time on the court.

Well?

Just when Ye Si was thinking about a happy future......

"Yes, it's our game, the second half just starts!"

Bryant?!

Looking at Kobe, who was still resentful at the end of the first half, he was standing in front of him at this time, Ye Si was surprised.

And after the start of the second half of the game, not only Yes was surprised, but the Lakers audience at the scene and the old Nelson on the sidelines were surprised!

"This is the Lakers?"

"This is Phil Jackson's team?"

Old Nelson was a little blind.

Phil Jackson doesn't want to win, doesn't want to win anymore?

actually let Kobe Bryant not hide Yes in the second half and take the initiative to attack Yes?!

Is this style still Phil Jackson's style?!

"Sure enough, I still lost ......"

At the end of the game, looking at the score of 118-110 on the spot, Phil Jackson sighed slightly in his heart.

Soon, though, Phil Jackson adjusted his mentality.

The game is lost, the victory is gone, the champion is naturally gone, as for becoming a god...... Nothing more.

In this game, this round of the series, he seems to have lost everything.

But......

"Boys, the NBA is not only data, not only wins, not only championships, but also hearts and dreams, go with your heart, go with your dreams, maybe we can go farther than data, more than victories, and farther than championships."

"Sorry boys, I ruined a game that was supposed to be yours."

Looking at Kobe Bryant who smiled and hugged Yes on the court at this time, congratulations to Yes.

Looking at Kidd who was talking to Rondo, and looking at Randolph who was hugging Millsap......

Phil Jackson felt like he was getting more ......

"Yes, I still lost......"

"I still haven't forced the strongest of you out."

Looking at the black and unworking feel of the superstar system, Ye Si didn't know what to say.

With this feeling, no matter how strong you are, you can't force me to be stronger than you......

However, Kobe Bryant still has some small regrets.

In the second half, Yes's offense increased, and the efficiency was still very, very high, but in addition to his successful ball and Yes's response, Yes still didn't show his strongest strength, and when he hit the iron, Yes didn't hammer him, just passed.

He's not crazy, but it's a shame that he didn't force the strongest Yes.

Even if his 55-point score in this game was more beautiful than Yes and Durant, but because he didn't force the strongest Yes, he still felt that he had lost, lost the game, and lost his personal performance.

But......

"Yes, another great season, another career final."

"Thank you."

Ye Si nodded gratefully.

"Don't rush to thank me yet, I hope you won't be abused by the Heat in this year's finals."

"If you really want to thank me, then take the Heat and make me look less incompetent."

Kobe quipped.

"You're not incompetent."

Kobe, who was just joking in his heart, looked at the serious Yes and was stunned for a moment.

"We're going to beat the Heat."

“……”

Beat the Heat?

Leaflet......

I'm just kidding, are you really playing......
