Chapter 205 The Collapsed Kobe

The timeout ends, the game restarts, and the Lakers attack.Gasol and Odom are to the left, Bryant singles on the right ball.

When Barnes saw this, he immediately posted it. Kobe hit Barnes with his back. He first swayed to the left, then turned to the right to shoot a jumper.Barnes got close to Kobe, jumped up, raised his left hand to block the shot, and flicked the middle finger of his right hand towards the hidden place under Kobe's crotch.

Jackson blocked the view of the referee on the left, and the referee on the right only saw Kobe's back and didn't notice Barnes' small movements at all.This bouncing bouncing made Kobe's egg hurt instantly in the air, he lost his focus on the shot, and the fadeaway jumper missed.

Barnes' face was expressionless, but his heart was extremely excited. "I'll go, run after playing, it's so fucking exciting." Barnes turned to Kobe's livid face, immediately hid far away, and went to fast break.

Milicic grabbed the backboard and passed a pass to Jackson. Both Odom and Gasol went to the outside. Milicic grabbed the rebound easily.Jackson evaded the Lakers' defense with the ball and made a layup from the middle.

Kobe didn't return to defense, his facial muscles kept shaking, and angrily complained to the referee about Barnes' evil deeds.But the referee didn't see it. In the NBA, players can only give up if they can't see some small actions. Even if Kobe has a star whistle, the referee can't make unfounded penalties.

Kobe can't wait to tear up Barnes now!

The Lakers attacked again, and Barnes wisely switched defenses with Jackson. Jackson smiled in front of Kobe and said, "Kobe, did you like Matt playing just now? I heard that you used to like QJ. How does it compare to QJ this time?"

The anger in Kobe's heart rose immediately, but now that the Lakers are attacking, he can't flare up.Jackson was still chattering, Jackson continued: "I tell you, be careful, if you dare to single-handedly hit me later, I will kill you!"

bomb you!
Kobe couldn't help but feel a chill in his crotch when he thought of what Barnes had done just now.Seeing that Kobe's face darkened again, Jackson continued, "Really, I will kill you!"

real!I will kill you!

When Jackson said this, the expression on his face was very exciting. He stretched out his middle finger and index finger, eager to try, without the slightest shame, which made Kobe very angry.

Shameless with you?Continue to complain to the referee, Kobe can't afford to lose that person, forget it the first time, and go to the referee to complain the second time, it would be too embarrassing.The point is that this action makes it difficult for him to speak.

Kobe and Jackson spat trash talk, and he stimulated him with his salary, saying that Jackson was a child of a poor family, poor.

Unexpectedly, Jackson didn't care at all. His trash talk had reached the level of perfection, and he immediately counterattacked: "I'm poor, but I can still repair baskets. Your annual salary is so high, can your family afford baskets?"

Kobe was angry. He hated others talking about his shooting percentage. He took the ball and ran directly towards Jackson. When changing direction, Kobe pushed away Jackson with his left hand, retreated with the ball with his right hand, and shot a jumper.

Jackson yelled at this time and flew out a meter away, but the referee didn't blow.

Jackson wasn't angry either, he failed once and twice, he didn't believe that the referee would treat it as if he didn't see it every time, as long as he persisted, there would be milk and bread.

Nelson cooperated with Jackson on the sidelines. Seeing that the referee did not blow his whistle, he immediately stood up and waved to put pressure on the referee.

The referee is under a lot of pressure. Nelson has been coaching for decades, and he can be said to be a figure at the level of Taishan Beidou in the NBA. He just waved his hand and had a good grasp of the scale of calling.

As Nelson put pressure on, the Warriors fans booed the referee, and the Warriors asked to watch the replay.

The replay showed that Kobe's movement was not too big, but he did swing his elbow, and the timing of Jackson's fall was just right. Judging from the replay, this movement is really suspected of being an elbow.

Several referees discussed together for a long time and supported the original verdict against the boos of the audience.The Warriors weren't arguing either, and Nelson tactfully returned to his seat.

As the Lakers became the main force, Nelson also made adjustments, replacing Milicic and Li Zhi.Li Zhi went to the fourth position, and the fifth position was Jr. Jordan.

O'Neal said to Milicic on the sidelines: "Pay attention to Jackson's movements and learn from it." Milicic nodded.

At this time, the field changed again, and Crawford broke through with the ball and hit Odom.

Odom's position is not very good, and his acting skills are exaggerated. Crawford gave him a slight push, and Odom fell down.The referee blew his whistle at this time, an offensive foul.

Warriors fans immediately booed the referee, and Nelson nodded with a smile as he listened to the boos.

In order to win this game, both sides began to play some tricks.

In the following time, the two sides frequently hit iron, the shooting rate was very low, and the Lakers' defense was not clean. In Jackson's words, the Lakers' skills were really clumsy.

If it weren't for the referee's whistle that was obviously biased towards the Lakers, the Lakers players would have been called a foul a long time ago.

At this time, Crawford stood up again and scored a 3+1 against Fisher.

Fisher spread his hands helplessly, he dodged, but Crawford was heading towards the foul.The referee also felt the pressure of the Warriors at home. This foul was very obvious and had to be blown.

Crawford's shooting form created the conditions for him to draw fouls, often hitting four-point performances, which can only be regarded as routine artificiality for him.

In this quarter, Crawford played bravely and was invincible on the offensive end.Li Zhi, Barnes, Jackson and Jordan all focused on defense, which caused the Lakers' defensive strategy to make a big mistake.

Nelson let Li Zhi play in order to create better offensive opportunities for Crawford with the help of Li Zhi's restraint.The Lakers' defensive focus was entirely on Li Zhi, and the defense against Crawford was slightly relaxed.

Under Crawford's breakthrough, the Lakers' defense began to become chaotic, and both Li Zhi and Jackson got easy scoring opportunities.The Lakers made some shots with Gasol's low-post singles and Odom's high-post support, but Kobe played poorly and his shooting percentage was dismal.

At the end of the half, the Warriors led 61:47. Kobe only scored 4 points in this quarter, and Crawford scored 16 points in a single quarter, becoming the hero who reversed the situation.

During the intermission, Phil Jackson thought about the Lakers' defense. Crawford scored 16 points in a single quarter, proving that the Lakers' defense failed in this quarter.

The commentary seats of TNT and ESPN are also talking about this topic. They are all experienced in the last era, and they all believe that man-to-talent is the most effective defense.Barkley, Johnson, Kenny Smith, Jon Barry, they've all had success with man-to-man defense.

Although the magician supports the Lakers, he does not support the Lakers' zone defense tactics. He believes that the Lakers' defense bankruptcy in the second quarter is due to a problem with the choice of defensive tactics.Joan Barry lamented that the NBA's defense is not as good as it used to be.

The magician said: "The previous NBA defense was full of toughness and passion, but now the lads are too soft." He sighed for the second quarter of the Lakers. Crawford's performance in the second quarter was simply Jordan of the Warriors. The great Lakers dynasty allowed a substitute to become an All-Star, which disappointed the Magician.

Joan Barry said in a strange way: "Hehe, although the NBA's defense is not as good as before, the Warriors are an exception. Look at George's defensive statistics in the first half."

With 5 steals and 4 blocks, Li Zhi used his defense to put a layer of armor on the Warriors. He was the last insurance for the Warriors. The loss of the Lakers was all due to Li Zhi's defense.In the first half of the game, Li Zhi gave people a bloody state. His defensive skills were not high, but they were very effective.

In addition, the Warriors use the man-to-man defense of the last century. This kind of defense requires a player's single-defense ability, but the Warriors just meet such conditions.Li Zhi, Stephen Jackson, and Barnes are all aggressive defensive players.

In the second half, the Warriors changed their tactics, and Morrow was out of form and sat on the bench.O'Neal, Milicic, Jackson, Li Zhi, and Gerald Green formed the Warriors' second-half starters.

Milicic moved to the fourth position, and Li Zhi played the second position, mainly defending Kobe.With the replacement of Gerald Green, the Warriors retained ample off-ball scoring points.

Milicic is responsible for shifting to the weak side. He is more threatening off the ball than with the ball. Not only can he hit a jumper, but he can also score in an air cut inside.If the Lakers dare to let him go, Milicic will make the Lakers pay the price.

Li Zhi went to the low post to catch the ball. The Lakers' defensive focus was always on Li Zhi. Even though Crawford broke out suddenly in the second quarter, it failed to change the Lakers' tactics. Phil Jackson firmly believed that Li Zhi was the Warriors' offensive core.

Seeing the changes in the Lakers' defense, Jackson immediately passed the ball to Milicic on the weak side. Milicic flicked past Ariza from outside the three-point line, dribbled the ball out of the defense, and scored a jumper.

Li Zhi mainly defended Kobe, and there was O'Neal behind the pick-and-roll, which ensured the pressure of the two defenders on Kobe. It was not so easy to pass the ball.

Gasol checked the situation in the low post. The Warriors continued to man-to-man. When encountering off-ball screens, they resolutely switched defenses.

Gasol held the ball and decided to play singles. He dribbled the ball to the middle, stopped suddenly, and put on a hook posture. Milicic did not jump. Gasol turned back and feinted again, and Milicic jumped.Gasol turned around and jumped up from the other side, picking up the basket with his right hand and retaliated.

Gasol's footsteps are very beautiful, Milicic is difficult to guard, but the Warriors are determined not to double-team.It doesn't matter that Gasol explodes, the Warriors' main defense is other people, and the offense is guaranteed at the same time.

Li Zhi knew very well that the Rockets lost to the Lakers in the previous life, but they did not prevent others from dying. McGrady and Yao Ming scored 60 points together and did not win the series.

Resolutely not double-teaming is also good for the Warriors' offense. If Gasol fails to make a shot, it will be difficult for him to fight for rebounds.Bynum was blocked by O'Neal, and Milicic could get a rebound as long as he stretched out his hand, which is more conducive to the Warriors' fast break.

The Lakers let Kobe play singles on the perimeter, and Li Zhi kept close to Kobe.Kobe dribbled the ball from the high position to the bottom line on the left side. Li Zhi didn't choose to steal. Gambling steals were unreliable. What Li Zhi wanted to do was to interfere with Kobe's shot.

Barnes and Jackson like to talk trash when defending, but Li Zhi is more like a facial paralysis when defending.Li Zhi knew very well that his defensive level could defend Kobe, so those little moves were completely unnecessary for him.
