Chapter 145: Emergency Meeting
Many fans have the illusion that playing alone with the ball, breaking through to the basket, or feints to get space to shoot and score beautifully, which is the key.
But what about the facts?
The NBA's statistics for each season show that the teams with the most wins have the best number of open shots and open shot percentage in a single game.
And the number of shots given to the opponent in the open space is the least.
Empty shots are the easiest, but most important.
The most efficient way to score, air cut, dunk the highest, three-point shot, catch the ball and shoot second, and the last place is the ball-holding single. Even the league's highest singles player has only six or seven ball-handling singles per game, which is a staggering number of times.
Each team has its own tactics, and playing according to tactics is the best option.
Kobe Bryant is good at singles, and the Lakers have a triangle strategy with Kobe Bryant on the offensive end, but even the triangle tactic is impossible for a player to shoot at will.
Kobe Bryant was obviously a little willful.
In the face of reporters' questions, Kobe Bryant also replied:
"I'm playing well and leading the team to victory, there's nothing wrong with that, and if the other players have problems, they can find more reasons in themselves instead of complaining."
The news of the Lakers' infighting spread throughout the league in an instant.
TNT News:
"The Lakers are infighting, and James has a high probability of winning the championship this season."
Fox News:
"Lakers superstars blame each other, how can such a team win the championship."
All the sports news is rumbling about this, and on the Finals stage, the team infighting when the Lakers lose is incredible.
This situation is reminiscent of the F4 of the year.
High-level meeting of the Alliance.
Stern had silver hair and an ugly face:
"There was a bit of an accident in the 23 and 24 games, and now we have to continue the game, call the Lakers, and don't let them have any more accidents."
A good peak duel, and the result is like this.
Stern was about to blow up.
This season, Kobe Bryant won the championship and then gave way to James, who became the new NBA No. 1 after winning the championship, which is a good routine that has been involved in the league.
But competitive games are often not transferred according to human will.
The Pistons won the championship and the Spurs won the championship, both of which created jaw-dropping low ratings, and now the Lakers and Cavaliers games, the ratings are quite high.
The whole league was happy, but it was so disappointing that this situation suddenly appeared at this time.
…………
Los Angeles, Lakers conference room.
There were very few people attending the meeting, four players from Kobe, Pau Gasol, Bynum, and Odom, as well as the team's owner Bass, team manager Kupchak, and team coach Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson was not polite, glared and said directly:
"The game is still under our control, as long as Kobe Bryant doesn't mess around, the Lakers can win, and the Cavaliers are not our opponent."
"I'm not messing around," Bryant didn't back down, "I'm just leading the team forward." ”
"You're shooting too much!"
Bynum couldn't help but talk to the side.
"There's no place for you to talk here." Kobe Bryant scolded directly, and Bynum was red-eyed and angry.
Neither Kupchak nor team owner Bass spoke, instead looking at Phil Jackson. The two of them didn't mean anything else, they just came to support Phil Jackson.
Fei'er exhaled deeply and said:
"Kobe, if you lose this series, do you know what the outcome will be?"
Kobe Bryant was stunned and froze.
"Before, you wanted to be the boss of the team, O'Neal was gone, then you said you were missing teammates, the team brought you Pau Gasol, Bynum and Odom, did you forget about last year's finals? Do I need to say more about the number of shots and the average shooting percentage per game? If you continue to play like this, I don't have a problem with the Lakers winning. ”
"But the Cavaliers aren't as weak as you think, Bruce Qin, that Chinese rookie is better than you think, smarter. You beat him on the court, but the Lakers lose to the Cavaliers and lose the championship. When the time comes, what will you get? ”
"If you win the championship this season, you're the mVP, the best defender in history, and if you lose, you're going to get a set, you know?"
'I ask you to shoot less and pass more, but if you don't, it's your choice and you have to suffer the consequences.
Phil Jackson spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Kobe Bryant's face was ugly.
Phil Jackson didn't continue, in Phil Jackson's eyes, Kobe Bryant was already an unteachable level, and he wouldn't be like this if he was another person.
Let the head coach use such straightforward words to persuade and even threaten his core to reduce his shots, Phil is almost angry.
In the 05-06 season, Kobe Bryant angrily scolded the owner and the uniform team and asked to be traded out of the team.
At the time, Phil Jackson's suggestion was to trade Kobe Bryant, as well as draft picks and potential rookies, but the Lakers owner didn't choose to do so.
Even further back, it was actually O'Neal who Phil Jackson wanted to stay, and as long as other guards were traded, it would not be difficult for the Lakers to continue to win championships.
Bryant's eyes widened and his hands clenched.
Both legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.
After a long time, Kobe Bryant nodded, and said with an ugly face: "I know what to do." ”
The rest of the team finally let out a sigh of relief.
At the end of Game 2, the entire league was rumbling about the Lakers' infighting, which was good news for the Cavaliers, but the next game was definitely not going to be easy.
Because the day after the game, on June 8, the Cavaliers flew to Los Angeles in a low-key manner, and then stayed in a hotel in a low-key manner.
Los Angeles is a big city, and the Cavaliers spend a lot of time every time they come here to play.
But this time no one dared to go.
The second race on the 7th ends, the 8th takes the plane, and the third race on the 9th begins.
For a professional footballer, it can be very tiring to fly after a high-intensity game and then continue playing without a two- or three-day break.
What's more, this is the grand final.
Qin Yang didn't have a chance to walk around Los Angeles with Lily, and after coming to Los Angeles, Qin Yang made a phone call and began to carry out recovery training.
Qin Yang's strength is not particularly outstanding, but his resilience is very strong.
In consecutive games, Qin Yang's recovery speed was much better than that of other players.
On the 9th, Qin Yang felt that his energy had recovered eighty or ninety percent when he got up, while Dronte West, Vallejo and others were in a little bad state.
In the evening, Staples Field.
The third grand finale is about to begin.
When the Cavaliers are at home, the star bench is full of stars, and at the Lakers' home court, there are countless stars in the arena. Even Chinese stars Jet Li and Zhang Ziyi are among them, and there are countless other foreign stars.
This is the stage where the superstars shine.
