the rest, only noise

Chapter 1271

At halftime, 66 to 52.

The Lakers entered the second half with a 14-point advantage.

Tonight's first half was brilliant. Both teams showed their own characteristics. The Celtics relied on the inside giants to build their advantage, while the Lakers played late strikes under the play of Wilson, Garnett, Kobe and other young talents.

In the second quarter, Louis made a sudden decision to activate "Beautiful Basketball" but was once tied by the Celtics. After Nash was replaced, Wilson became the ball-handler on the court, and then let the world see the "Eye of the Storm" appearing in professional basketball for the first time.

Wilson's performance aroused a good chemical reaction, allowing Garnett and Kobe to find the feeling of the game.

In a sense, the chemical reaction between Garnett and Kobe in the "Beautiful Basketball" system is of greater significance to the Lakers than Wilson's successful "Eye of the Storm".

For their wonderful performance, of course the reporter should ask Louis for his thoughts.

"High school players are synonymous with childishness and rebellion in the eyes of many people. I don't comment on this, but I admit that it is difficult to transition from high school to college, let alone directly from high school basketball to professional basketball. I hope that the outside world will maintain doubts about Kobe and Kevin, which will become the fuel for their aggressiveness."

Louis' textbook-like incomprehension made it difficult for reporters to keep asking.

The Celtics coach Chuck Daly gave a super high evaluation to the two high school players of the Lakers.

"KG is basically a smaller version of Ralph." Daly said, "And Kobe, I saw the shadow of Michael Jordan in him."

In the Lakers locker room, there are not so many praises for high school students who play well.

"Jasmine, you should know that your performance in the first half was just a coincidence. I know you're not convinced, but that's what I said. Unless you play like this every night, it's just a fucking coincidence!"

Barkley, who was refrigerated by Louis, has always been the vanguard of attacking newcomers.

Garnett said arrogantly: "That's my brother's true strength. You have all seen it. Ralph is very strong, but my brother's performance is equal to his. Maybe you should call me 'Mr. Unique'⑴."

⑴ Mr. Only Sir's English is "Only Sir", who told me how to say Mr. Wuer's nickname in English.

Bird felt itchy when he saw someone screaming, so he went up and patted Garnett on the head: "You are a Mr. Criminal!"

"Larry, didn't you see what the dude did in the first half?"

"I see, it's just a fluke, I don't know what you are proud of!"

Garnett really stole the show in the first half because he was always the finish line on offense.

And Kobe's performance is more important in the eyes of the coaching staff. He sent out 8 assists very selflessly.

8 assists in the half, even for a Hall of Fame point guard, is not so easy.

It was Kobe's 8 assists that made Garnett beat Sampson in the half with 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Four or five of the cakes Garnett ate were fed by Kobe.

However, in the locker room, the attention of the veterans seems to be on Garnett.

That's the beauty of scoring.

Louie noticed the desire for attention in Kobe's eyes, but he still didn't respond to Kobe.

Louis said flatly: "Don't think that you can celebrate after a good halftime game. Now we are in the lead. I need you to continue this momentum until the end of the game. Let's win this game!"

Lectures, tactics, and how to start the second half.

After the things that should be explained are explained, there are still a few minutes for the players to warm up for shooting.

Kobe was the last to walk out of the locker room, with Louie right behind him.

"Bean, if you're passing the ball to satisfy your own vanity, or if you're passing the ball to please me, then I'll never be happy with you," Louie said behind Bryant. "When I see you pass the ball, I hope you pass it because you want to pass it."

Hearing this, the high school student's rebellious psychology instantly appeared: "I can't do it, I never want to pass the ball!"

Louis said like a bully: "Then don't tell me you want to join the Knights, I won't let you in!"

"It's not fair! I'm already passing the ball, why should I care what I think?"

Louis said: "Because I only want the real Bean, not the hypocritical Kobe."

Kobe argued: "Really I can't pass the ball!"

"Then you won't change?" Louis asked, "Could it be that you liked Claw Chicken (the Tragedy Master) when you were a child, and you still like him when you grow up? Unless you really change your style of play, no matter how long you play as a team player, I only have one thing for you to enter the Knights, no!!!"

"It's not fair!!! I've done what you said!!!"

Louie asked with a smile: "When did I say that I want to treat everyone fairly? Let me tell you this. There is only one privileged person in the Los Angeles Lakers team, and that is me. I can make any decision I want. If you can't do what I want, then I will never do what you want!"

Has Kobe changed after Louie's "baptism of love"?

Yes, his performance in the second half was much worse than in the first half, mainly due to poor pass selection.

Other than that, his shot selection is pretty reasonable.

Therefore, Louis will not feel that his own words have affected Kobe's state. This is the normal state ups and downs of young players in a game.

Garnett, who was majestic in the first half, was also sanctioned by Sampson in the second half.

The cause of the incident was Garnett announcing his new nickname in front of Sampson: "Ralph, the era of the one and only Mr. is over, starting today, it is the era of the one and only Mr.!"

The only man who has been invincible inside since 1984 has no plans to use his reputation to make Garnett.

The first goal was to break through Garnett with the ball in a high position, go to the inside and hit high, causing a foul on Barkley and scoring the ball.

Afterwards, Sampson looked back at Garnett and asked provocatively, "Have you learned it, Mr. Wuer?"

As a center forward, Sampson has jumped out of the three realms, not in the five elements, because his skills are too comprehensive, no matter what kind of opponent he encounters, he can take out a weapon from the arsenal against the opponent.

Garnett's proud defense was blasted by Sampson in a single point.

hold the ball;
Back singles, hook hands;
Adjust the shot with one step after a high feint;
Flying high and flying Garnett broke through and dunked;
The low post on the left used up and down steps to squeeze away Garnett's defense and wipe the basket.

Sampson scored 10 consecutive points on Garnett's head, stopping the Lakers in a wave.

"Why don't you bark, Mr. Unique?" Sampson asked Garnett before leaving the court.

Louis could only replace Garnett and asked Bird to help with psychological counseling, but Big Bird wasting ten sentences of saliva was not as effective as Liu Yuqing's sarcasm.

"It's in our plan for a simple-minded, well-developed idiot like you to be blown up by Ralph." Liu Yuqing asked in a cold tone, "Don't you really think that someone has expectations of you?"

Garnett was furious: "What the fuck are you talking about!"

Liu Yuqing said indifferently: "You can't beat Ralph, all of us know about it, so it's ridiculous for you to be so sad, because you and Ralph are not at the same level."

"FUCK!!!!!!"

Garnett was severely stimulated and strongly demanded to play, and said that this time he would challenge Sampson completely as a challenger.

As a result, Garnett received his fourth foul in just 5 minutes.

Garnett's foul crisis affected the Lakers' inside rotation, but had limited impact on the overall situation because Barkley stood up in the second half.

Garnett's active performance stimulated Barkley.

If even Garnett can be active against Sampson, he shouldn't be left behind.

In the second half, Wilson and Barkley, as the most solid base of the Lakers, stood up and stabilized the situation when Sampson was killing the Quartet.

With these two people around, the Lakers' performance will not be any worse.

Secondly, the performance of the Lakers' outside shooters has gradually become a heart problem for the Celtics.

Liu Yuqing and Ellis' three-pointers are more stable than the other. Their presence creates favorable conditions for the Lakers to attack the basket.

One ebbs and another, even though the Celtics have a clear advantage inside, they can't rewrite the battle situation.

At the end, 119 to 111, the Lakers defeated the Celtics by 8 points and won the Christmas game.
