Chapter 297: The True Bitter Lord
The whistle blows, the ball goes in, and the whole court boils.
Kobe Bryant, at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers' main center, the most effective pillar of the defense of the Chinese kid Bynum went off the court because of foul problems, the Lakers were in a precarious situation, and the 76ers seemed to seize the opportunity to start a ferocious counterattack, and began to erupt.
This wave of outbreaks, 10 points, not too much, one three-point, one emergency stop, one counter-dunk, one ultra-long three-point, four balls.
Nothing more......?
If anyone really thinks so, it's time to see a doctor.
"OUR HERO, THE SUPERSTAR WHO ALWAYS SEES BLOOD AT THE CRITICAL MOMENT - KOBE - BRYANT !!"
In the venue, the DJ shouted excitedly. Kobe Bryant's outbreak is so fast, tough, ruthless, and incredible that it can make any fan who likes basketball, and whether honey or black Kobe, be enthusiastic.
A wave of outbreaks, the situation reversed instantly, although the 76ers were only 2 points behind, but anyone could see that the momentum on the court had been completely controlled by the home team Lakers.
Why did the Lakers, who got Gasol, instantly become a top powerhouse, entering the finals three times and winning two championships?
Gasol is strong, Bynum is growing, and Ariza, Artest, Famar, Vujasic and others who will emerge in the future are also strong.
However, the Lakers are Kobe's team, and they have not changed since 2004.
"Don't mess around!"
At the intermission, Cheeks withstood the pressure and cheered up the players who were obviously a little discouraged and beaten by Kobe's outburst.
Behind him, there was a wild boo from the Lakers fans, and there were boos in the entire arena, except for the small area where the 76ers bench was located. The rest of the place was full of joy, and everyone was shouting a name.
KOBE。
"Bynum will definitely not be able to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and our offensive firepower is not weaker than theirs in the transition period, and maintaining the balance of power will complete the task."
After a few words of encouragement to the upcoming substitutes, Cheeks turned to look at the main players.
"After that, I guess I'll change back to the main team with about eight minutes left. With Phil's character, Bynum will definitely still be pressed to the bench, and we need to seize this opportunity to launch an offensive by Chan and destroy them on the inside. As for Kobe, it is impossible for his hand to keep this heat all the time, as long as his hand feels a little cooler, we can catch up and open up the score gap! ”
Cheeks said the words. And who doesn't know? Although the current momentum has been taken away by the Lakers, because there is still no solution to Chen Mu, the 76ers' offense does not need to take too much effort, as long as they give the ball to Chen Mu safely, and then launch an offensive from him.
Although the other players of the Lakers have strong offensive power, the situation is now very clear, Kobe Bryant has made up his mind to take over the game, and the other players are stronger. What's the threat of not receiving the ball?
Therefore, the whole team pays attention to assisting in defense and supplementing defense. Catch Kobe Bryant with all his might, and with Kobe's temper, he is bound to rush all the way without looking back and fall into an endless solo fight. Then, by the time Kobe Bryant's hands were cold, the Lakers' offensive system had long been shattered. Other players have watched the play for so long, how easy is it to get back into the attacking system? How much always requires an adaptation period.
This adaptation period is the best opportunity ...... for the 76ers!
"Get on the field!"
"Roar!!"
After some exchanges, the mood of the 76ers players has calmed down a lot.
yes, Kobe Bryant is very strong. But he is just one person, and his unreasonable style of play is a kind of damage to the team's overall attack, which is a foregone conclusion.
Throughout the seasons when Kobe Bryant won the championship, he found a balance between individual offense and team cooperation, not crazy to fight the world alone, but to use the strength of his teammates, coupled with his unstoppable offensive firepower, and finally stood on the top podium.
Kobe Bryant's strong offense is indeed at the top level in history, but the balance between this style of play and the team's record is difficult to master, and it has caused a lot of criticism for a while.
Now, Kobe Bryant has a strong teammate and an All-Star-level interior partner, but he has returned to his old path at a critical moment, which is a challenge and an opportunity for the 76ers.
withstood this wave of offsets, and when Kobe Bryant's hand was cold and he bit the score, the 76ers could usher in a counterattack.
If you can't withstand this wave of offensive, and if there is a problem with the offense on your side and you can't keep up with Kobe's outbreak, then you will lose.
Choose one of the two, and that's the strategy Cheeks has come up with.
The bench players fought the court, and when the fourth quarter came, the main players needed to rest, and the bench players were making a difference. The benches of both teams are very strong, and each has its own way of attacking it, and no one can take anyone for a while, and the fight is inseparable.
The score rose alternately, the Lakers always led by two or three points, and the 76ers bit very hard, until about 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, when both teams were ready to change the main team, the difference was still two points.
"Very well done!"
When the substitutes returned to the pitch, Cheeks applauded and nodded, pleased with the performance of the substitutes.
"Next, I'll leave it to you."
Willie Green is the 76ers bench on the team for the longest time, although the strength has gradually been surpassed by the juniors, but still the spiritual leader of the bench lineup, when he walked past Chen Mu who was about to play, he said to Chen Mu with a grim expression: "Bite the score, wait for the opportunity." ”
"Bite the score and wait for your chance!"
Chen Mu nodded slightly, responded with the same sentence, high-fived Willie Green, and then walked into the court with his head held high.
"Come on, boss!!"
This shout came from the media box and the 76ers bench at the same time, and the two people who shouted were stunned when they heard each other's voices, and then looked back and saw the familiar face at once.
Justin, Carney.
The two young men who made Chen Mu the boss were also quietly looking forward to it.
Looking forward to facing Kobe's tough outburst, Chen Mu can also be tough to the end.
“ATTACK!”
Chen Mu shouted, clenched his fist with one hand and stretched it out into the air, and Iguodala and the others were also enthusiastic and made the same action in response. On the other side of the court, Bryant stepped in. There is no tiredness at all, and his eyes are still staring at the basket on the 76ers' side.
The game continues.
The 76ers' offensive strategy is very simple, Chen Mu dominates, whether it is the free throw line, the low post, the ribs, or even the top of the arc, according to the different defenders in this round. Chen Mu has to choose different strategies for positioning, then catch the ball and make follow-up choices.
Chen Mu is the beacon of the 76ers, the only pillar that the 76ers can rely on at the moment, as if handing over the ball to Chen Mu can make everyone feel at ease.
And Chen Mu did not live up to the trust of his teammates, after a few rounds, Chen Mu's choice was always correct, and the momentum of his personal scoring weakened. But the whole team was working well and there were no major problems.
The Lakers' defensive response is also very simple, that is, using Gasol, Odom, and Wharton to harass them repeatedly, play wheel battles, and consume Chen Mu's physical energy and energy. Sometimes in a round, three defenders will take turns to "serve" Chen Mu, because of the different characteristics of different opponents, Chen Mu has to make targeted choices. It takes a lot of physical and mental energy.
On the offensive end, the Lakers' response cannot be said to be simple. It's just rude.
Kobe Bryant singles.
“DESTROYTHEM!!!”
I don't know which fan shouted such a voice in the corner of the stands, and the slogan instantly burned all over the stands, and the word DESTROY could be heard constantly shouted everywhere in the Staples Center arena.
Destroy.
Destroy all opponents!
In the hearts of Lakers fans, Kobe Bryant is such a ruthless killing machine. No matter who you send to defend and what strategy you use to defend it, it doesn't matter if it's Jordan and Pippen, Kobe Bryant will definitely score points.
This is an exaggeration. But it can make fans have such irrational and unrealistic ideas, and it also proves how powerful Kobe Bryant is.

Kobe, or Kobe.
COMING TO THE FRONTCOURT, HESITATION SHOOK, WENT DOWN TO THE BASKET AND SUDDENLY TURNED HIS BACK, TURNED OVER AND HIT A JUMPER.
“YES!!!”
With this hit, the difference was stretched to 5 points, and Kobe Bryant himself finally showed his joy, shouted and clenched his fists, and greeted the fans in the audience.
On the sideline bench, Willie Green turned back worriedly and whispered to Cheeks:
"Coach, is it possible...... Kobe's feel has been maintained until the end, and it hasn't cooled down......? ”
"Of course it's possible, look at the Raptors."
Cheeks made no secret of the loopholes in his strategy and smiled wryly: "But is there anything we can do other than gamble?" ”
In a word, Willy Green was stunned.
Oh, yes!
In the face of Kobe Bryant, who is full of firepower and hits every shot, the 76ers, what can be done?
Don't forget, the Lakers have always been the real sufferers of the 76ers......! (To be continued......)
PS: Recalling Kobe Bryant at that time, he was chic and elegant, with boundless firepower. Let's look at the real season...... Let's listen to Kobe's season well......!
