Chapter 465 The Closest Shot

Kobe Bryant's strength demonstrates what is intentional and powerless. The Celtics' defense is centered on Garnett. Through the online oppression system, Garnett's wide mobility is fully utilized, and he is willing to rush beyond the three-point line to pinch the ball holder and return to the penalty area.

With such an inside presence, any perimeter defender will devote himself to defending.

Because they know that even if they don't do well, there will be Garnett to cover the bottom line.

This is the bottom line.

It was under their key care that Kobe missed consecutive shots.

The leaning back at the free throw line, the unrestrained posture, the firm determination, and the freeze frame that can be handed down as a painting, but the result was missed.

Kobe, who felt the change of time, wanted to master a full set of low-post offensive skills like the old Jordan.But before this year, his low-post skills were limited to swaying left and right, and if he couldn't sway, he would turn over and lean back and pull out a high arc.

This trick has the advantage that it is difficult to seal.

The downside is that getting in or not getting in depends on muscle memory at best, and luck at worst.

When the hand feeling is overwhelming, it can really hit the defender's confidence. When the hand feeling is bad, it will appear that no shots can be made. It is like a 2K player shaking the perfect shot at the basket, but the result is a three-point shot.

why?No solution.

Under the Celtics' tough defense, Kobe made 7 of 1 shots in a single quarter.

The only goal he made was to borrow Weixia's breakthrough and let him hit behind Garnett.

Garnett's large number of pulls and pressure on the line did put great pressure on Wei Xia and other ball holders, but it was not without harm.

Before joining the Celtics, Garnett was the rebounding leader for years.

In a game, his scoring may be single digits, his assists may be 0, he may not have steals and blocks, but he can basically achieve double figures in rebounds every night.

With the Celtics, his rebounding average dropped to his third-year level.

Averaged only 9 rebounds per game.

His almost unlimited physical fitness and enthusiasm can't resist the disadvantages of staying away from the basket and poor control of defensive rebounds.

The Lakers seized this point and let the inside line decisively hit the offensive rebound, which really worked.

In the first quarter of the game, although Kobe hit a lot of irons, the Lakers grabbed 5 more offensive rebounds than the Celtics.

26 is better than 29
After one quarter, they were only 3 points behind Green Kai.

"What we want to see, what will appear in the game." Michael Thompson is pleased with the Lakers rushing to grab offensive rebounds, "They grabbed the Celtics' seven inches."

In the second quarter, the Celtics matched Eddie House with Garnett.

When House saw Wei Xia, he couldn't help but think of the last game in the North Shore Garden.

After that game, he accused Wei Xia of all kinds of despicable behaviors to reporters.

But there was no splash, which did not hinder the identification of the enemy between House and Wei Xia.

Seeing Wei Xia, House's flame of hatred was uncontrollable and spewed out like molten lava.

Fortunately, the way he expresses his anger is to strike iron, and it is not a piece of iron or two pieces of iron, but closely following Kobe's footsteps. With his short playing time, he is even better than Kobe, more professional, more persistent, more creative, and more popular with his opponents.

Three points from the outside, 4 shots, 1 was blocked by Wei Xia's fingertips, and the other 3 shots were greatly affected, and none of them hit.

Two mid-range shots and one layup.

He missed all of his mid-range shots, and his best chance for a layup was blocked by Ryan Hollins.

And his playing time in the second quarter was only 4 minutes.

In 4 minutes, he made 7 core-like shots, 0 hits and 0 points.

Thanks to him, the Celtics' game pace in the second quarter was as bad as a group of junior high school students.

While Wei Xia defended House to the point of embarrassment, he played extremely well. From the defensive end to the offensive end, he made 4 of 3 shots.

It's a pity that the Celtics couldn't keep him alone, but let the rest of the Lakers players enter an infinite loop of ironing.

Kobe is a role model for House, 7 for 1 in the first quarter, and 7 for 1 in the second quarter.

Unlike House's shot that is purely shot and looks at God's will, Kobe has made a lot of breakthroughs and fouls in addition to shooting.

In the two quarters, 11 free throws were made and 10 were made. Therefore, one score can still be seen.

The most worrying thing is Luke Walton's performance. He replaced Odom and was humiliated by Garnett on both offense and defense to the point that he lost his qualifications as a human being.

9 of 0 in the half, 0 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, but 3 turnovers.

Optimists can find reason to be happy in this set of numbers: Look, Luke's numbers look to be exactly 0123.

Wharton personally proved to others, what is a complete explosion, what is a level suppression, and what is an inside gap that is greater than the sky.

"I always thought that the reason why the Lakers couldn't rise after Shaq left was because there was only Kobe alone. But after Wish came, there was another problem inside. After countless tossings, our inside line has not improved. I am now more and more aware that the hidden danger of the Lakers is not outside, but inside, among the group of management wearing suits!"

Old Thompson said sadly: "If they react slowly, the Lakers will be bad for a year. If they keep doing this, then this team will never have a future!"

Except for Wei Xia, the Lakers made 1 of all N shots.

On the opposite side of the Celtics, Garnett is strong on the inside and Rondo is strong on the outside.

Rondo is not good at long-range shooting, but he likes to continuously change direction and pull up to shoot a mid-range shot when he enters the rhythm.

In the second quarter, he made three shots and hit all of them.

With 6 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, he is the kind of potential stock that can become a top player in the league as long as he improves his shooting.

Under the leadership of the inside and outside, the Celtics formed a confrontation with the crazy Lakers.

Neither side scored much in a single quarter.

22 is better than 21
The Celtics scored 1 point more than the Lakers, with a total score of 51 to 47.

At halftime, the Celtics led by 4 points.

Wei Xia, who played the best in the team, glanced at Vanessa in the distance and Elaine Trovis beside her.

Did Mrs. Sister-in-law's coming to watch the game put some burden on Kobe?He hit the iron too hard today.

"How do you evaluate the various difficulties you encountered in the game?"

During the halftime interview, the reporter asked Wei Xia a question.

"Handfeel is the most difficult problem to solve. It is difficult to grasp, sometimes close, sometimes far away." Wei Xia learns from the words of Zen master, "Sometimes, I will regard it as a theological problem."

In the past, there was a Zen master who regarded the triangle offense as a philosophy, but now there is Wei Xia who regards shooting touch as a theology.

The reporters had nothing to say, and sent Wei Xia away respectfully.

Wei Xia walked towards the player tunnel, and some fans wanted to high-five him, so he clapped his hands.

Unexpectedly, the fan passed on his bad feeling to Wei Xia.

Due to Wei Xia's excellent performance in the first half, Phil Jackson decided to let Wei Xia take over Kobe's core position in the third quarter.

"Kobe, I need you to space Wish on the perimeter!" Jackson said.

Let Kobe space the floor, possibly the most extravagant corner shooter in the world.

Kobe didn't even raise his eyes, "He's fine, so I'm fine."

It's not just the Lakers who want to play the core ball, the Celtics also think the same way.

The difference is that Weixia's touch was lost by the fans, while the Celtics were adjusted in the halftime lounge, and both Pierce and Garnett entered the game in good condition.

For the first ball in the second half, Pierce was three steps slower, stretched out his butt, which is one of the best in the league, and moved away from Kobe, and made a swaying shot.

His shots didn't look like they were going to go in, but they rolled in with bumps every time.

It has to be said that his offensive method of leveraging his strength is definitely second to none in the league.

There are many kinds of offensive kaleidoscopes, such as Pierce, which are not affected by aging.

He will only get older and more evil.

Just as Kobe's defense failed, Pierce fired at him: "You can't do this move, can you? You can fuck all kinds of enchanting positions and hit all kinds of enchanting irons! You can't do it, Kobe!"

Kobe's eyes sparkled.

He still remembered the Zen master's arrangement and held back.

According to Jackson's plan, the Lakers let Wei Xia play the core position-the low post on the right, and Wei Xia received the pass.

Before the shot, everything was fine.

After the shot, the basketball stumbled out of the rim.

It probably circled there three and a half times, and it was only a short of luck before it hit.

It was so close that the fans regretted it for a while, but they didn't expect that it was Wei Xia's closest shot in the third quarter.
