The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 154 [Winning the Lakers again]

"Zen Master" Jackson replaced Odom and replaced Bynum, hoping to improve the offensive end and play a combination of inside and outside.

But back in the game, Kobe is still the only player with unlimited firepower for the Lakers, and fans can see this.Pau Gasol is a perfect fit for the triangle offense, and he was even the most efficient player in the league for two weeks in December this season.But as long as there is Kobe, the Lakers will not have any right to speak. As long as there is Kobe, the Lakers will not have the moment when Gasol has unlimited firepower.In order to limit Gasol, the Clippers need to let Hayes, who has no offensive ability, start. Now Hayes is sitting off the court, but Gasol can't catch the basketball.

Aristotle said: A solitary person is either a beast or a god.

Who is the most popular basketball star on the planet?The answer is Kobe. Kobe went to China in the 2008 Olympics, and he couldn't believe the welcome he received in China.Why are there so many people in China who like Kobe?Perhaps it is because the Chinese have a serious personal hero plot. When the whole world says no to a person, he still dares to challenge the world, no matter whether it is recklessness or paranoia, no matter what the process of success is, a hero is judged by success or failure.This is the subconscious of a Chinese hero, and Kobe just fits this image, which suits the appetite of most Chinese people.

Who is the most hated NBA star in the eyes of Americans?Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is also Kobe.

In 2009, a poll by the authoritative wealth website "Forbes" showed that Kobe, who is very popular abroad, ranked fifth in the list of "the most hated athletes in the United States", and among basketball stars, Kobe ranked first.

In this survey, Bryant received a disapproval rate of 42%.Those who opposed Kobe believed that despite his extraordinary skills, he was extremely hypocritical and selfish.

On the court, Kobe should change. He has excellent personal abilities, but he must realize that Gasol and other teammates are now contributing more to this team than he alone.As long as he is selfless, the Lakers can become the strongest team.But if he is selfless, is he still Kobe?The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.In any field, anywhere is a wise saying that applies.

Seeing that the Lakers sent the Twin Towers, the Clippers replaced Chalmers with Barea. Needless to say, Ye Feng gave up the main attack and played a pick-and-roll for Barea in the high position.

The Puerto Rican defender passed Gasol and Bynum who were changing defenses as long as they accelerated, and did not force a layup.

Love's mid-range shots from all positions are very accurate. This is his strongest point. If someone switches defenses, he is not in a hurry to shoot, and then distributes them to outside teammates. Morrow and Wright's shots are more accurate.

No matter how good Kobe feels, it is impossible to make every attack, but the Clippers are blooming more.After half a season of running-in, they have become more and more tacit on the offensive end. With Ye Feng as a strong scoring point to attract defense, after a few passes, others can easily get open shots.

The audience applauded the Clippers sporadically. When Kobe took the ball, a group of people chanted "MVP" to encourage Kobe.Kobe feels good today, and the fans want to see him soaring points. Once they cheer up, Kobe has more reasons to play singles.

As long as Gasol and Bynum don't attack, Hayes doesn't have to play, and the Clippers' offense will be smoother.

The two sides fought very fiercely.Kobe scored 20 points in a single quarter and 48 points in three quarters.Wright couldn't guard Kobe, but Thibodeau never sent Barnes and Smith to play. Although Wright's defense was poor, he played well on the offensive end, making two three-pointers and an air cut dunk.

The Clippers are 94 to 84 and still maintain a double-digit lead.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe continued to stay on the court to attack, Ye Feng was replaced to rest, Barnes, Smith, Hayes, Gortat, and Lowry played five players.

The biggest weakness of the Lakers today is the point guard. Lowry is also a speed guard who is good at breaking through. He and Smith have become the main attack points on the field.The Lakers replaced Ariza with Radmanovich, and couldn't prevent Smith's offense one-on-one.Smith broke into the basket to score consecutively, and also caused a 2+1.

Barnes was in charge of defending Kobe. He played only a short time and was full of energy. Kobe played for three quarters, exhausted a lot of energy, and his shooting percentage finally began to decline.This game is a bit of a remake of the opener.The number of shots taken by the Lakers' twin towers is very small. Of course, if they are allowed to attack, it may not have good results. With Hayes, the Clippers have significantly improved their interior defense.

Originally, he was a marginal player who was traded because of Smith's injury, but under Thibodeau's defensive system, he had a second spring.He can't score, but no one can underestimate the strong No. 44 on the defensive end.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Ye Feng and Barea returned to the court together.Replaced Hayes, Lowry.The Lakers also replaced Ariza and Odom.

The Lakers relied on Kobe's dry three-pointer to chase the score to only 8 points.At the last moment, Barnes and Smith suddenly began to double-team Bryant and short Ariza.

Ariza didn't perform much on the offensive end throughout the game, scoring only 6 points.He has never been the main offensive point of the Lakers. He only plays 20 minutes in a game and is a blue-collar perimeter defense.

Ariza can also shoot three-pointers, but not accurate enough, and the mid-range shots are average.In Ye Feng's previous life, he played for the Rockets for a season. He was nicknamed Iron Slag, which shows how bad his shooting is.Of course Kobe would not trust him, just double-team him and continue to attack.

It was not an ordinary defensive player who double-teamed Kobe. Barnes was good at defending against breakthroughs, and Smith was good at blocking shots. When the two teamed up, Kobe couldn't get inside and could only shoot. His shooting percentage dropped and he frequently hit the iron.

In the final quarter, Kobe made only 11 of 4 shots, and the Clippers seized the opportunity to increase the score.The two inside players pulled out and waited for an opportunity. Ye Feng covered Barea. With such a move, the Lakers couldn't break it.When Barea attracts the defense, he points the ball, and when no one assists the defense, he lays up.

In the last 2 minutes, the Lakers saw that the general situation was over and replaced all the main players, and the game entered garbage time.

122 to 106, the Clippers won by 16 points.They can lose to the Mavericks and Hornets, but they can win the Western Conference champions by 16 points. The ups and downs of their state are a bit confusing.

Ye Feng scored 34 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. The best performer in this game was Barea. 23 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal. Those who don't know will think this is Chris Paul's data.In addition, Smith scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Morrow hit 12 three-pointers and scored 11 points. Wright scored 5 three-pointers with 14 points and 17 rebounds. Love had 5 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.Lowry had 7 points and 5 assists.For a while, their offense was like Princeton's. Seven players scored in double figures, four of them assisted [-], and the number of assists hit a team season high.

湖人方面，科比全场得到61分5篮板2助攻1抢断，得分完爆叶锋。加索尔16分10篮板8助攻准三双，奥多姆14分14篮板。拜纳姆只得到12分，除此以外，在无人得分上双.
After the match, Ye Feng was named the best player of the match.

At the press conference, Ye Feng said: "In fact, Barea should be the best player in this game. Obviously he plays the best. If he plays like this every game, then we will be invincible. Kevin is also good, he is Born to rebound."

The reporter asked: "Your consecutive 40+ record has ended, and you have almost no offense in the fourth quarter. What do you think?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "The teammates are too accurate, I'm afraid I'm sorry if I can't make the shot, so I passed them all."
The reporter asked: "You cooperated very well in this game, what do you think?"

"I think Adidas' advertising slogan should be changed. The game is not about five people, but a group of people. Seven of us scored in double figures. I really hope everyone can play like this every game." Ye Feng said, stretching his head, Smiling at the nearest camera: "It's a great feeling to believe in your teammates. Are you right? Kobe!"

The mouths of all the reporters on the scene opened into an O shape...

This is an open provocation. Kobe scored 60+ in this game, but he played very independently, making 45 of 22 shots.Counting free throws, he shot more than 50 times.Kobe scored crazily today to prove that he is the strongest, Ye Feng didn't care at all, so what about 60+, the Clippers are the winners.As for who is strong and who is weak, let the fans judge.

When the Lakers were interviewed, head coach Jackson chose to speak for Kobe. He said that Kobe played very well in this game. He stood up and scored when the team was unable to play. It is a big problem, especially when dealing with Barea, there is no good way.This is the main reason for losing.

Jackson is very tactful. He knows that if he stands up and blames Kobe for playing too alone at this time, it will not do any good.Not only will he be in a disadvantageous low position in the competition with the Clippers, but the internal relationship between players may also have problems.They are still ranked first in the Western Conference and lead the Rockets by as many as 4 games. The loss of a game cannot affect the future of the team.After losing, Kobe was also very depressed. To deal with paranoid people, tolerance is more effective than complaints.

At this time, Jackson also felt that Ye Feng was a bit too hurt, and rarely saved face for the Lakers when facing interviews.They seemed to have fallen into the Clippers' trap in this game.This trap is not obvious, but Kobe is the kind of person who knows it is a trap and will get into it for the sake of face.

Kobe said in an interview: "We did very badly on the defensive end in this game. We couldn't stop the opponent's offense at all. I felt good, but I couldn't win the game. It's a pity. My shot is A little more, but when the team's offense can't open, I have to stand up and do something."

The reporter asked: "In the match against Ye Feng today, you won the statistics but lost the ball. Is there anything you want to say?"

Kobe said seriously: "This is just a regular season. Barea's performance caught us off guard. It's no big deal. I want to say that if we meet in the playoffs, we will definitely not lose."

Kobe's words seemed to confirm that the Clippers would definitely enter the playoffs.If the two teams meet in the playoffs, it will definitely be interesting, but then the fans will be tangled.
