NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 569 Los Angeles Siege

The focus of the first day of the playoffs.

The Lakers VS Jazz game has reached the end of the third quarter.

Under the attention of the whole United States, almost no one believes that this will be the score of the eighth in the West and the first in the West, and more importantly... the Lakers duo is going crazy. Dominates most of the attacks.

The only problem is that the Jazz resisted fiercely.

Not only did Kobe's restrictions on the defensive end achieve good results, but the offensive end also went berserk. The point difference ranged from 18 in the second half, to 25 at the peak in the middle, to 13 at the end of the third quarter.

Worthy of the No. [-] ranking in the West.

The Jazz, who are working hard across the board, obviously surpassed the Lakers, who only have one Kobe output at this stage, in terms of efficiency.

However, no matter how violent the Jazz's counterattack was, the advantage they played before was enough, and Kobe still brought a terrifying personal 70 points to the fourth quarter.

……

The final quarter of the game.

Everyone was tense, whether it was the Lakers, the Jazz, or the 2 people at home, everyone's eyes were locked on Kobe.

For Jazz...

The good news is that Kobe's shots are decreasing, and it can be felt that the Lakers are also afraid of overturning, and they no longer blindly let Kobe take shots.

The bad news is that Bryant's scoring has slowed, but not stagnated, all the way to the 80 mark.

And the worse, worse news is that Li Shengli made a shot and led the team to show the entire league the Lakers' future dual-core tactics.

It started with Li Shengli receiving the ball.

No matter what the position is, the Jazz center is pushed flat. At this time, Malone must be on the scene to help defend, otherwise Li Shengli can easily force his opponent.

However, when Ma Long arrived, Da Ben ran away.

People who have no offensive ability have a lot of room for air defense, so the Jazz can't care about the big money.

In this way, the time difference appeared, the Jazz would switch defenses in a large area, and the Lakers still played a three-on-two effect on the periphery.

Horry is usually in the left corner and Kobe is at the top of the arc.

The two offensive end points of the Lakers are located far away. The Jazz originally defended two and three. Although the time for two and three defenses is very short, the problem is that the time required for the Lakers' two offensive points to be shot is even shorter. Was vacated.

……

What the hell is this?

Jerry Sloan was about to throw up. He thought it would be difficult to play against the Lakers, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. Leaving aside Kobe's amazing performance in the first three quarters, just from the last quarter... The Jazz still can't cure the Lakers, because the Lakers This tactical error tolerance rate is too high.

As long as Li Shengli is stable, it's okay to feel bad at other positions. After all, the bench is not just for nothing. They have to work, and there are times when they shine, and the Lakers can always find someone who feels good.

Even if Li Shengli is eliminated.

Assuming that Kobe can also grow into the core of the Lakers, the stability of this tactic will be raised to a more terrifying level.

Li Shengli is the first choice for the Lakers' tactics, which can be regarded as a variant of the triangle offense.

Kobe is the second choice for the Lakers' tactics. This is a real replica of the Bulls' style of play, even more terrifying than the Bulls, because the Bulls only have one Rodman inside, but the Lakers have Li Shengli and Daben inside. The pressure is stronger.

……

What Jerry Sloan could see, Harris must have seen too.

I didn't consider these originally because Kobe was not good enough to be a nuclear player, but this time... Harris looked at Kobe and saw people were stupid.

Should be a slow player, even if he has talent, shouldn't he show it so quickly? !

Puzzled!

But looking back, Harris can figure it out after thinking about it carefully.

There is no doubt that a player's growth takes time.

It is not limited to training and learning time, but also includes complicated factors such as playing time, number of shots, personal talent, etc., and it is precisely because of the existence of Li Shengli that Kobe's process has been infinitely shortened.

Maybe Kobe originally needed two or three seasons of growth, waiting for playing and shooting opportunities.

But the Lakers have a Li Shengli who loves to support newcomers and doesn't love statistics. Everything Kobe needs is filled in time, and this can be seen in Da Ben and Garnett during the Mavericks.

Bulldozers in restricted areas?

Or a superstar excavator?

However, when Li Shengli joined the Lakers, he also brought a stumbler and madman Crotty who came back from the Jazz.

At that time, it will be equipped with tower cranes, piling machines, and drilling machines. This horse, will the Los Angeles Lakers change their name to the Los Angeles Engineering Team, or the Los Angeles Siege Team, gathering large equipment to attack cities across the United States? !

Harris shook his head and smiled wryly.

Although it is not certain whether Li Shengli has a unique vision, the problem is that the younger brothers he personally cultivated have indeed grown up happily and accelerated, especially Kobe in this game.

……

Without waiting for the coaches on both sides to think too much.

The game on the field was still in full swing, and the fans were screaming and hysterically cursing a player from the home team who didn't perform well, or a player from the visiting team who performed very well.

It was less than 1 minute until the end of the final quarter.

After the Jazz made full efforts across the board, the Lakers also took advantage of the opportunity to change their tactics and fixed the point difference at 10 points. As for Kobe, his scoring is still increasing. Up to this moment, NBA fans all over the United States have been surprised, because the technical station gave Statistics show... Kobe Bryant, 79 points.

In less than 1 minute, the score difference is 12 points!

The Jazz's hope of a comeback is very slim, and the loss is also very wronged, because Kobe is too variable.

But... the game can be lost, but 80 points cannot be conceded.

After the Jazz got the ball, Jerry Sloan immediately called a timeout, and the arrangement at this time is very simple. Just foul players other than Kobe and get the ball back. As long as it’s not Kobe’s shot, everything easy to say.

……

51 seconds left in the game.

The timeout came back to give the Jazz the ball. Stockton took the ball and spent time on the perimeter. After scoring a goal, it was 21 seconds into the offensive round, which meant that there were 30 seconds left in the game, and the Lakers basically had one game left. Round attack time.

At this time, Crotty advanced with the ball, pushed it beyond the three-point line and handed the ball to Kobe, and the Jazz didn't even have to think about it, it would definitely be Kobe's shot, and the three-person double-team tactic came out again, but Malone He touched Li Shengli's side as if strolling in the courtyard, paying attention to the situation outside.

"Damn it, Li, you bastard, don't even try to succeed!!"

"Don't talk to me, let's talk after the fight!" Li Shengli didn't look back, and pulled it out to cover Kobe, "Kobe, hold on, please hold on, it's the last shot."

Last ball?

When Kobe heard Li Shengli's roar, his face straightened, because it was really the last shot. Just now, the defense turned to offense, and the Jazz was pressed by the Jazz as soon as he served. Now he is double-teamed, and there are only 20 seconds left. up.

Scored, 81!

If you can't get in, you can't break the 80 mark!

Kobe would already have the effective time to play the whole game. He broke out with his final strength and circled around Li Shengli who was pulled out to cover him. When he turned sideways...Stockton was blocked, Brian, Huo There is a difference in position between Nasek and the other.

This is the best opportunity and the only opportunity!

……

"Shoot, hurry up!"

"Now, Kobe!"

"Rush, rush up, take your last breath!"

"Are you going to shoot? You must hit, hit!"

Seeing that Kobe found an opportunity, the Lakers worked together, on and off the court, roaring together, everyone clenched their fists tightly, and Kobe... really made a shot, with little interference and a dry jumper.

call out! !

The ball draws a perfect parabola.

In fact, every player is not sure before the shot, but after the shot, there will be an instinct to predict in advance whether to advance or not.

This is the muscle memory cultivated by a lot of repeated shooting practice. As long as the body tells the brain and the muscle group to coordinate well, then the ball will basically go in, and Kobe's brain sends back a message that the ball...is stable.

Swish, the ball went into the net hollow, and all the Lakers cheered.

However, before the basketball hit the net... there was a beep, the game was not over yet, and the referee blew his whistle. Now it was the Jazz's turn to cheer, and the home court immediately boiled.
