Chapter 590 What to win?(2/2)
The score difference returned to 5 points.
After retreating to half court, James also bent down and patted the ground, then turned his head and yelled a reminder to other Lakers players.
He came to the Lakers for his second championship, not to continue being beaten in another place!
His roar quickly had an effect. The Lakers played high-intensity defense and the Nets' No. 1 tactic failed.
The ball moved to Durant's side, and Durant shook and turned on the dry pull mode.
It's just that he didn't take a shot for a long time, and after taking a shot, his shot was obviously a bit biased, and the ball hit the frame and bounced out of the frame.
However, the Lakers' enthusiasm only increased. Lin Ying didn't know when he ran into the paint, leaped high and grabbed the offensive rebound with one arm!
Don’t forget that Lin Ying started out as a power forward and studied under Duncan, so he has a great sense of rebounding!
Moreover, after grabbing the rebound, Lin Ying did not attack the frame directly, but turned around and threw the ball towards the bottom corner.
Kobe is there!
Repay a favor and repay a favor!
When not holding the ball, Kobe still plays the role of creating space between the players.
It was a familiar round, but the difference this time was that because it was the frontcourt, the Lakers' help defense rotation could not keep up, and Kobe got a very good shot opportunity.
Kobe didn't hesitate, just made a slight adjustment and shot a three-point jumper.
Picturesque shooting posture, iconic parabola.
"Whoa!"
And, the crisp and pleasant sound of connecting to the Internet!
Although he didn't take another shot for two rounds, his touch was still the same!
This is already Kobe’s 9th point tonight!
It may be hard to believe, but Kobe is now the Nets' top scorer!
No, to be more precise, it should be Kobe and Lin Ying who jointly contributed all the Nets’ scores!
The tacit understanding between these two people tonight is a "show of affection"!
And after making the shot, Lin Ying also high-fived Kobe while retreating from defense.
This is a real show of affection.
Then in the next round, the Lakers made a mistake in coordination. Davis' hand-to-hand pass to James was not done well and went directly out of bounds!
James almost got angry.
It can be seen from his exchange with Paul before the game that he is determined to win tonight's game.
But the reality seemed to be against him. All the points he had said to Paul before were wrong!
The Nets did not pay too much attention to Kobe, nor did they slack off after two consecutive championships. Even now, the Lakers have not been able to develop the innate understanding he imagined under high pressure due to the running-in period!
He wanted to ruin the Nets' championship award night, but... he couldn't!
But the other two core expressions of the Lakers under the camera are very interesting.
Davis looked a little innocent because he didn't think the Lakers could win tonight. After all, they were a new team.
Paul was a little helpless. The opening game arranged by Tatum was clearly designed to give them power. It was still difficult for them to overturn the Nets at the beginning of the season.
(Narration): Brother Zhan/Azhan, it’s not that we don’t want to win, it’s just that we really can’t do it now!
Six minutes into the first quarter, the score on the field had become 8-20.
Although they were unwilling, the Nets still opened the point difference to double digits.
Kobe was also replaced by Rose at this time.
He was in a good mood when he came off the court, and even high-fived Rose when he came on.
Don't forget the purpose of his coming to the Nets. On the one hand, competing for the championship is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is because of the corruption of the Lakers' current management.
Although a game is not enough to wake up the dreamer, it can still startle him.
The current trend of the game is developing in the direction he expected.
Kobe Bryant's departure is good news for the Lakers.
Maybe, not entirely.
Because Durant has begun to take over Kobe's role.
Before, Kobe was in good shape and he was maintaining his physical fitness on the weak side.
Now that Kobe has gone to rest, it is no longer appropriate to keep him alive.
On the first possession of Kobe Bryant's game, Durant took the ball and broke through to the basket for a layup.
Then in the next round, he received the ball from Lin Ying, who was hit by a double attack, and made a three-pointer from the outside.
It's true that his hand didn't warm up on the first ball, but he felt it quickly!
The Lakers can't keep up with the firepower!
Kobe Bryant, Lin Ying, Durant, this is not the "Three Musketeers", this is the "Three Nuclear Bombs"!
James took the ball and charged at Durant. This time he gathered strength and charged directly.
There was a confrontation between the two, and James took three steps to knock Durant to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded, indicating James' offensive foul!
Durant was quickly pulled up by Lin Ying and Jokic after the collision.
The first thing he did after getting up was to turn around and run to the bench, give Kobe a high-five, and say:
"I found it for you!"
This sentence is obviously based on James' previous move and not calling the ball.
Kobe smiled and nodded in response, indicating that he had learned.
A small interaction between the two on the sidelines brought the emotions of the fans at the scene to an explosive point.
Looking at the Lakers, although James also had an outstanding performance of scoring 5 points in a row, it seemed that he could not stop the Nets at all.
But then again, when Kobe is in hot form and the Gemini stars are online, who can win with the Nets, not to mention the Lakers?
Yes, you can't win.
After four quarters, the Nets defeated the Lakers 131-103, winning the opening game that attracted as much attention as the Finals.
The process and results of the game were a bit unexpected, because many people thought that the opening game would be very fierce.
But this seems completely understandable.
The Lakers haven't gotten along well yet, and there are still many problems with chemical reactions.
The Nets have fully demonstrated the strength that a dynasty team should have.
And what's more important is that Kobe, who had retired for half a year and still looked like an old man in the opening game of the preseason, played amazingly in the opening game of the regular season.
He only played 18 minutes in the whole game, but contributed 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Not only was his scoring second only to the Gemini, but his efficiency was also surprisingly high.
