Chapter 266 [I want to duel with your boss]
The ok combination opened at the beginning.↖
Kobe's moves are very beautiful, attracting the attention of fans. Few people noticed a detail. O'Neal is already at the low post and can catch the ball and play singles for Collins. Kobe didn't even look at O'Neal. This was not Jackson's pre-game arrangement.
The Nets attacked, Kobe and Wang Jun were defending, which was to prevent the attack from the back and forth.
Wang Jun relied on cover to get rid of Kobe. This time Malone replaced defense, and he was much more active in defending the pick-and-roll than O'Neal. Wang Jun brought a step to pass the ball to Kidd who was receiving the response.
Kidd protected the basketball and quickly transferred it to Kitels on the left, and he also relied on Martin to cover to get rid of the defense.
O'Neal must defend himself, otherwise it would be an empty seat. But O'Neal just ran to the horn position and stopped, waiting for Kitels to break out.
Does "Mosquito" like to break through? He just took the ball and made a cold arrow, and he made a 50-degree three-pointer on the left. 6 to 4.
If it is Pistons coach Larry Brown, he will be shouting "defense" on the sidelines. The Nets' three-pointer tactics this year are extremely sharp.
During the regular season, the Nets were still the main focus of fast breaks and the position was the auxiliary. Entering the playoffs, they completely tasted the sweetness of three-pointers and prevented Jefferson from starting. Kittles and Wang Jun partnered, and the inside would be broken if they didn't go out.
"Zen Master" Jackson sat on the sidelines with an old god, looking confident and allowing the players to adjust.
In previous years, Lakers players were able to adjust well, but this year's situation has been different.
In the past, Kobe's first goal was to win. He did not deliberately pursue data. He would do whatever he attacked well, pass the ball to O'Neal and launch an attack on the inside.
This time Kobe felt that the Nets were a good soft persimmon and wanted to prove that he was the boss of the team. Not only did he want to win, he also had to play beautiful data and compete for MVP.
Lakers attacked. Payton passed to Kobe, and he immediately chose to play singles, with a quick stop and jump shot from the three-point line. O'Neal reached out to ask for the ball at a low post and was ignored.
With an extremely simple style of play, Kobe made a blacksmith under the interference of Kittles, the Corinthians and Martin grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Now, it is definitely not enough to count on Old Malone to grab the frontcourt rebounds, and he dare not rob. When he saw Kobe taking action, he and Payton immediately returned to defense. If he didn't go back quickly, the Lakers would be chased and counterattacked, and the inside lacked protection.
The Nets still fought back because Wang Jun defended against Payton in the middle. Kidd quickly advanced to the frontcourt and accurately passed the ball to Wang Jun.
Wang Jun squeezed Payton with both hands and took the ball, took two big steps to get into the basketball.
8 to 4, Wang Jun’s fifth score.
If it is international rules, Wang Jun will take the ball and make a rugby layup directly, because he can only take one step.
NBA is different. As long as you move in succession, to encourage attack, you can take two steps to dunk or layup. This extra step makes it very difficult for players with strong impact to defend.
The Lakers attacked, Payton did not pass Kobe, and took him to the right and gave him a hang to O'Neal.
O'Neal received the ball and squeezed it. He turned to the baseline and pressed Collins with one hand to dunk, but was pulled down. The referee whistled and free throw.
O'Neal performed well, hitting both free throws. 8 to 6.
Nets attacked. Wang Jun continued to run, and Kobe couldn't help but start talking trash. "If you have the ability, shoot in front of me."
Collins blocked Kobe, O'Neal replaced the defense slowly, Wang Jun received the ball and made a three-pointer, Kobe bypassed the cover and failed to block it. The ball shot was a little more anxious and bounced out of the box.
Wang Jun was proactive at the beginning and found that the intensity of his defense he faced was much lower than that of the last series.
Malone looked at it on the other side and wanted to go crazy.
Among the people with the worst defensive pick-and-roll tactics he has ever fought, there is definitely O'Neal. His individual defending ability is not bad, but he is too lazy. Once blocked, he will choose to give up. He will not squeeze in and keep up with his defensive target, nor will he rush out of the penalty area to switch defense with all his strength.
The Lakers' pick-and-roll defense mainly depends on Malone, an old guy over 40 years old. Is he here to hold on to the thigh? This is here to take the blame!
The Lakers attacked, Payton gave O'Neal a lob again, but Collins defended alone.
Collins is a delivery today, and it is useless to lower the center of gravity and fight hard. O'Neal squeezed twice and turned around in the middle and gave him a butt, jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand. 8 to 8.
The two are really not at the same level. Before the start of the game, Collins didn't believe in evil and was eager to try. After the opening, he was shaky and faltering by O'Pang, and now he was tortured and mournful.
Nets attacked, Wang Jun just arrived at the frontcourt, Kobe said with close defense again, "If you have the ability, shoot in front of me."
Kobe imitated everything Jordan. When he first entered the league, he even imitated the movement of sticking out his tongue. Of course, it is necessary to talk trash like a flying man, but his trash is not smart enough.
Shooting in front of you is called capable?
Why didn't he say directly, "If you have the ability, please let me cover you up."
Wang Junfu was in his mind and started fighting back. "Get out! I want to fight your boss alone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Collins's cover arrived.
Wang Jun runs at the right bottom line and avoids Kobe. Isn’t this misalignment just to face O’Neal?
O'Neal defended more than anything else this time, Kidd passed the ball to Wang Jun. He had the advantage of speed against O'Neal and took action as soon as he received the ball. O'Neal just stretched out and prepared to go back to the inside to grab the rebound.
How can you grab this defensive strength with rebounds? The ball draws a beautiful arc and enters the net with hollowness!
11 to 8, Wang Jun’s 8th score.
Kobe's trash words didn't stimulate Wang Jun, but he was so angry that his lungs were almost blown up by the other party's words.
During the three consecutive championships, last season, this season, he felt that he was strong enough. He told McGrady and Lakers' teammates that he wanted to surpass Jordan, but seven years have passed, and he is not the boss in the Lakers.
Even though he averaged 30+ per game, people still say that he is O'Neal's younger brother, a second-in-commander who holds fat thighs.
The word "boss" is Kobe's nightmare, what he cares most about.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe reached out to ask for the ball when he ran, his eyes were on fire, he wanted to prove himself, and his paranoidness came up!
Kobe received the ball from the right side, leaned against Kittles, and swayed his right shoulder to the left and turned back and jumped back.
His movements were extremely smooth, he jumped very high, and he felt like he was straight arm when he made his moves. His movements were elegant and graceful, and the ball was not curved high, so he fell into the basket accurately. 11 to 10.
On the sidelines, Jackson's face was not good-looking because Kobe did not fight according to the tactics he arranged.
The conflict between the two has been made public. Jackson is on the side of O'Neal and Jenny Buss. Kobe, Kuppchek and Jim Buss are joining the Lakers' management's right to speak and target each other.
The main player O'Neal made the Lakers win three championships. Kobe was dissatisfied and believed that giving him more ball rights could dominate the game, especially the opponent was the Nets that he looked down upon.
At this moment, he forgot that Kittles had a good defense. The Lakers beat the Nets and swept the nets. The score difference between the three games was within 10 points, and the gap was not big.
Chapter completed!
