Chapter 804: It's Not a Viper, It's a Giant Python
In the first quarter, the Lakers formed a strong pressure on the Warriors, and the transfer of the ball by Kobe and Gasol made the Warriors who were accustomed to Kobe's habit of playing alone.
But to reach the final four, none of them are weak teams, although the Lakers have the advantage, but the Warriors keep biting on the score, especially when West is a tough player on the court to fight a chaotic battle, it has recovered a lot of scores.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 5 points at 27-22, and seeing this score, Barkley and Smith in the live broadcast room nodded and said: "This is the normal playoff score, if the Western Conference Finals Warriors still score 35 points in one quarter, then I will really collapse." ”
"Now what we're worried about seems to be that the Warriors are going to be dragged down, obviously, the Lakers who are in the ascendancy." Mark Jackson said.
Barkley and Smith glanced at each other, and the two of them invariably showed strange smiles on their faces, and Jackson's strong body trembled, and said, "Hey, guys, don't show your affection in front of the TV, OK?" It's going to take the little ones bad. ”
Upon hearing this, Barkley suddenly became angry and said, "What are you talking about stupidly, my sexual orientation is normal, and I am famous in the whole league. Besides, if I'm really GAY, then I'm definitely attacking, do you think a strange man with normal aesthetics like me would look down on a little guy like Kenny? ”
Smith raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Charles, you really have the face to say this." What can you compare to me? Than honors, I have two championships, what do you have? Compared to appearance, I once appeared on the list of the 50 most handsome people in the American sports circle arranged by "Mr. America", what about you? Compared to the body, ha, I won't talk about your weird ****** if you're fit, not to mention that you still have foot odor, bad breath and fox odor, I really can't bear to continue. ”
Barkley was so angry that he was about to roar, Smith calmly pressed down his palm, looked at him and said, "Calm down, Charles, we have to calm down, damn it, we were tricked by Mark, this bastard, he deliberately provoked our saliva!" We have to be calm! ”
Barkley rolled his eyelids and thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, we were tricked by Mark...... Damn, we have to punish him! ”
Jackson had no choice but to explain: "Guys, I was just kidding, okay, let's continue the previous topic, the Warriors seem to be worried, right?" ”
Smith shook his head and said, "What are you kidding, Z didn't play, what's there to worry about?" ”
Smith spoke to the 20,000 fans in Oracle Arena, yes, their team is still behind, but Chamberlain has been sitting on the sidelines, he hasn't made a move yet, what is there to worry about?
But after the start of the second quarter, the interior line was still supported by Evans and Ibaka, and Chamberlain was still sitting on the sidelines, and the fans couldn't sit still.
Nelson Sr. did not replace Chamberlain, he commanded Iverson to lead the charge into battle and engage in an uphill tug-of-war with the Lakers.
The Zen master was a little surprised, he stared at old Nelson, wanting to know what the hell this old man was doing, but he was disappointed, old Nelson was calm, only staring at the court with bright eyes, looking even more Zen master than him.
At the beginning of the Lakers, the guard was replaced by Famar, although under the current lineup, there is nothing Fisher to organize the offense, but the old fish is old after all, and he has to take a break.
Famar's organizational ability is inversely proportional to the size of his pair of provocative ears, and the NBA seems to be Jordan with such ears, but Jordan is very good at both offense and defense and organization on the guard line.
Of course, basketball ability and ear shape are not directly related.
After the start, Famal ran quickly, and as soon as half time he honestly passed the ball to Kobe, and then ran to the bottom line to do what he should do.
Seeing this, Barkley smiled and said: "There are 15 people in a team, everyone has different responsibilities, Jordan's role is to control the ball for half court and then give it to Kobe Bryant and find a place to nest himself, uh, I'm talking about Jordan Farmar is Jordan Farmar, not Michael Jordan, don't give me words out of context by the media!" ”
Hearing his warning in the second half of the sentence, how many reporters sighed regretfully, they all thought about tomorrow's headlines: Lakers away game against Warriors, Barkley said that Jordan is only worthy of Kobe Bryant's dribbling.
Kobe Bryant took a tentative step forward when he got the ball, and West didn't retreat but went up to get him.
Seeing this, Kobe Bryant smiled, he bent over and spread his legs, then hit the ball quickly with his left hand, and rushed forward with his right leg, while carrying West with his shoulders and knocking him away, his sturdy body was like a big fish in the deep sea, and he broke through flexibly.
West's explosiveness is also very strong, and with a muffled roar, he stuck up from the wing, stiffened his chest, and knocked Kobe Bryant to the wing.
Kobe Bryant's strength is that no matter what the situation, he can turn the disadvantage into an advantage, and his body was almost unstable by West, but he still accurately sent the ball to Gasol's hands.
Gasol took two steps forward after getting the ball, Kobe ran forward with his leaning body, West was stuck by Gasol, and then Gasol passed the ball to Kobe, Kobe just took advantage of the situation and inserted the ball into the penalty area, and naturally jumped to send the ball into the hoop.
The hearts of the fans in the Oracle Center arena sank, they were not afraid of Kobe Bryant's score, but they were afraid that the Lakers would play such a tacit cooperation.
The first ball in the second quarter was played by Kobe, Smith groaned for a while, and said with emotion: "Kobe's scoring machine finally fired, and I knew that he would not be satisfied with organizing the team." ”
Bryant scored just seven points in the first quarter, the fewest points in the first quarter of the playoffs so far.
Sure enough, as Smith said, in the next two minutes, Kobe Bryant scored 6 points with a dunk, almost tying the score of the first quarter.
Led by Kobe, the Lakers played a powerful offensive and stopped the Warriors 38-29.
But the fans were not discouraged, because they knew that the Lakers' offensive wave forced the old Nelson to use the ultimate move - Chamberlain was about to appear.
Chamberlain's appearance made the Lakers slightly nervous, and the main table was that Gasol no longer wandered high and returned to the restricted area, while Odom, who came off the bench, also wandered around, and Bynum was stuck behind Chamberlain with a sad face.
Iverson controlled the ball outside the three-point line, and Bryant personally marked him, opening his arms to block his way.
In the face of Kobe's leaky defense, Iverson quickly dribbled under his crotch, his eyes were erratic, at some point, he suddenly shook his shoulder, and then his feet glided out of thin air, and the basketball jumped from his left hand to his right hand, roaring and breaking through.
"Don't think!" Kobe Bryant shouted, and his footsteps followed the sideways without slowing down, but as soon as he landed, his body seemed to hit a wall!
Kobe turned his head and saw that Chamberlain's sinister smile was still floating in the air, and Bynum and Odom were led out of the penalty area by Chamberlain together.
"Go back!" Kobe Bryant subconsciously roared, seeing Bynum and Odom chasing out, he instinctively felt bad.
Iverson broke through to the inside with lightning momentum, and Chamberlain turned and followed, and the speed was amazing, not much slower than the defender!
Bynum and Odom had already understood that they had fallen for someone else's trick to turn away from the mountain, and hurriedly turned back to chase after them, but how could their speed match Chamberlain's? The latter threw him to the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean with a single force.
Following Iverson into the penalty area, Chamberlain looked at Gasol who was left behind, secretly gritted his teeth, and slammed into him with a heavy shoulder.
Gasol's style of play is on the soft side, which is famous throughout the league, and Chamberlain's attack with the power of a comet hitting the earth really hit his soft underbelly, forcing him to retreat.
Iverson had expected to pass the ball to the basketball after rushing into the penalty area, Chamberlain threw his arms, his body center of gravity dropped slightly, and then jumped high as if stepping on a huge wave at high tide, and grabbed the basketball with both hands raised.
Holding the ball, Chamberlain was like an agarwood holding an axe when he split Huashan, he let out a roar like a huge wave in his mouth, his huge body suddenly stopped in the air, his legs were cocked back and leaned back, and the whole body turned into a longbow, elegant and full of a strong sense of power!
"Bang!" The sound of hands smashing the hoop echoed through the entire gymnasium with loudspeakers on the rebounds.
Seeing Chamberlain's tyrannical dunk, Warriors fans who had been low-key for a long time finally found a gap to vent, and the huge waves of cheers rang out from the audience, so that some children had to cover their ears.
Kobe Bryant glanced at Jon expressionlessly, motioned for Gasol to serve him, and when he received the ball, he said to Gasol: "Be firm, brother of Spain, you are a fighter now, OK?" ”
Gasol was a little embarrassed, he knew that he was really frustrating on the defensive end just now, so he planned to take revenge on the offensive end.
Bryant made a gesture, and the Lakers began a complex but orderly run.
Odom ran from the inside to the high post to help Kobe Bryant cover, and then the two crossed over, and Kobe passed to Odom at the moment when he stuck Jackson; Gasol and Bynum formed a twin tower that occupied the Warriors' restricted area, and it turned out that the two-tower tactics used by the Suns against the Warriors in the last round were good at limiting Chamberlain.
This offense shows the changes of the Lakers, the Lakers used to be Kobe Bryant's one-man team, and in the final analysis, it was the ball that gave Kobe Bryant where the rest of the group was cool. Now it's different, the Warriors are facing a team, a sophisticated fighter jet.
It was still Kobe Bryant who really charged, and with the twin towers occupying the inside line, he also stepped in and ran in.
And Kobe ran in to free Gasol, the Spaniard left the penalty area, and the breakthrough Odom passed the ball to him, and Gasol rose to his feet, flicked his arm softly, and projected the ball out.
"Beautiful ......" Smith was about to praise the Lakers' cooperation, but when it was too late, a fierce figure suddenly pounced out, like an ancient demonic beast, knocked Bynum away, stepped on the floor with both feet, and slammed the ball down!
"Nice ...... Cover! Smith swallowed and had to change his words halfway through.
Iverson grabbed the ball, the Warriors launched a fast-break counterattack, the Lakers defense reacted quickly, and then rushed to the frontcourt, two teams of ten people, like one wave after another, tumbling and flowing downward, the speed is amazing!
Iverson dribbled to the front court and rushed firmly to the inside, and Kobe Bryant yelled as he ran: "Stuck Z!" Kill him! ”
Bryant knew very well that Chamberlain was the most threatening one of the fast-breaks.
When the words fell, Kobe Bryant had already caught up behind Iverson in stride, he didn't accelerate, he waited behind Iverson, he bet that if Iverson dared to make a move at this time, he would definitely give away a big hat.
Iverson didn't make a move, he flicked his arm and passed the ball right out to West from beyond the three-point line.
West pulled his arm, Farmar was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, Chamberlain pushed Bynum with his arm and turned around suddenly, and rushed to the inside line flexibly, West's eyes lit up, and he passed the ball quickly.
Throwing off Bynum half a step with speed, Chamberlain got up and shot immediately after receiving the ball, Gasol was bent on revenge, and jumped up subconsciously.
At this time, Chamberlain, who raised his arm, pulled down the ball in his hand again, he made a cross step with his flexible steps, and rushed forward against Gasol, only then did he stomp his feet and jump up gracefully, stretching his body to make a mid-range shot.
"Huh!" The ball landed pinpointingly into the hoop, with Bynum and Gasol behind him, one left and one right, forming the background.
