Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 334 Sew right here!
I have to say that the most effective way to chase points is a series of three-pointers.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Grizzlies' inside line is Lorenzen Wright and Kurt Thomas, who have little offensive ability, Jim sent a five-small lineup, with Kobe as the core, with 3 pitchers and Nocioni, who has a certain offensive power. , For a while, the Grizzlies were caught off guard.

Korver hit 2 consecutive three-pointers, and Nocioni also made a step past Kurt Thomas's layup performance. The Lakers played a wave of 8-0, narrowing the point difference to 10 points.

Mike Fratello immediately requested a timeout, ready to replace Gasol.

This time Jim's prediction was not too late, and he also replaced Nocioni and replaced Garnett.

Kurt Thomas is no match for Garnett in terms of height or movement speed, and the defensive burden is on Gasol's shoulders again.

Compared with the hands and feet tied in the first quarter, this time Garnett played against Gasol's single defense with ease. Kurt Thomas needed to take Battier into account, and the Grizzlies were very empty inside.

Garnett hit the basket after consecutive pick-and-rolls with Kobe, and the Grizzlies only responded with a three-pointer from Tim Thomas.

After playing 4 minutes in the second quarter, the Lakers played a 16-3 offensive climax, narrowing the point difference to only 5 points in one fell swoop.

Mike Fratello doesn't believe in ten-man rotations like Hubie Brown, he still believes in the main lineup.

As the two sides switched back to the starting lineup, Nene, who had survived the foul crisis, also returned to the field.

After only playing for 2 minutes, he was pressed to death on the bench, and Nene was full of anger. Here, Bunch Wells was fighting hand-to-hand with Artest and forced a layup.

Nei Nei assisted in the defense, the magic dragon came to the world to send a brutal big cap, Billups quickly grabbed the floor ball and gave it to Kobe.

Jason Williams and Stoudemire Jr. returned to the defense one after the other. After receiving the ball, Kobe first dribbled away Jason Williams with a change of direction in front of his body, and then forcibly took off Prepare to dunk.

Behind him, Stoudemire Jr. has already jumped up at the same time, ready to give Kobe a big hot pot.

Instead of trying to force a dunk, Bryant collected the ball in the air, leaned against Stoudemire with his body, switched the ball to his left hand away from the basket, straightened his waist, and when both of them were about to fly behind the backboard and landed, the wrist With a shake, the ball is raised high.

With a strong spin, the basketball fell into the basket after wiping the board.

Kobe and Stoudemire got entangled and fell out of the baseline. The referee whistled and Stoudemire made a defensive foul.

Stoudemire stood up first, seemingly nothing happened, while Kobe was still lying on the ground.

Jim hurriedly signaled the team doctor to check the situation. The current Lakers can't afford to hurt anyone, especially Kobe.

On the other hand, Grizzlies coach Fratello is in a different mood. Back then, as a sideline commentator, he witnessed Michael Jordan's shocking record against the Lakers. Pull the rod, and this time, Kobe's series of actions vaguely reminded people of the omnipotent basketball god back then.

Gary Vitti rushed to Bryant's side, and Bryant stood up by himself, bleeding from his left brow bone.

The cameraman next to him explained the reason, and when the two landed, Kobe's eye hit the camera.

It's just a skin injury, which is a blessing in misfortune, but according to the league's regulations, Kobe must go off the court to deal with the injury before he can continue to participate.

Billups replaced Kobe and made a free throw.

"Let's go, go to the locker room, the wound is not small, you need stitches." Gary Vitti whispered while cleaning Kobe's wound with cotton balls.

"No, I want to get back to the game as soon as possible, just sew here." Kobe looked up at the big screen and said firmly.

"It's okay here, but you have to understand that there are no pain relief facilities here." Gary Vitti stared at Kobe.

Kobe didn't speak, just sat in his seat, and the players next to him gave way to him and Gary Vitti for easy operation.

Gary Vitti sighed secretly, took the medical kit handed over by his assistant, and started emergency treatment on the spot, including alcohol disinfection, stitches, and adhesive tape.

After the whole process, Kobe didn't make a sound, but beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

On the court, Artest forced Wells and caused a foul.

Kobe, with his footsteps on the corner of his eyes, has come to the technical stage, ready to play again.

When he replaced Battier, the 19000 fans at FedEx Arena, including Grizzlies and Lakers, gave him a round of applause.

Artest made two free throws, but Garnett reacted quickly, jumped up and shot the rebound to the outside line, Kobe caught the ball, and made a three-pointer without hesitation!

Nothing but Net!

This wave of offense was 1 plus 3 by mistake, and the Lakers overtook the score. This is the first time they have taken the lead in the entire game.

But this time leading, it has been leading until the end. Kobe's return of the king inspired the team's fighting spirit, and the Lakers never gave the Grizzlies a chance to comeback.

114 to 106, the Lakers ended their losing streak, giving Jim, who was on the cusp of the storm, a slight buffer.

Kobe Bryant scored 24 points in a single quarter in the second quarter and scored 40 points in the game. Jim reduced his playing time in the second half to protect him.

"Thank you for the gift you left for the Lakers!" Jim sent a message to Jerry West's cell phone after the game.

Next, he will challenge the Suns back to back. It can only be said that the injury still affects Kobe. His left eyelid is very swollen. Under the care of Joe Johnson and Sean Marion throughout the game, his performance is also mediocre, with only 22 shots. In 8, only 21 points were scored. On the contrary, the Suns fought more and more bravely. Marion played the best game of the season. He was omnipresent on both ends of the offense and defense. Rebounds, 5 steals and 37 blocks, if not for the hackers who are known for eating cakes, only 12 assist, this data may be a record.

比卢普斯在与纳什的对位中也没占到什么便宜，虽然自己拿到了18分7次助攻，但纳什14分18助攻则更胜一筹。太阳133比119，在对攻大战中战胜了湖人。

"The Lakers insisted on using long rotations. Even though they were constantly being hit by the Suns' main lineup in the second and early fourth quarters, they had to let the bench finish that time. Is Jim Buss too stubborn? "

"Maybe it's the recent injury wave of the Lakers that makes him a little worried. After all, the Lakers have already secured a place in the playoffs. It's no big deal to lose a game or two. On the contrary, Mike D'Antoni's 7-man rotation is too extreme. When it comes to the playoffs, if you encounter other teams' targeted arrangements, I'm afraid it will become a hidden danger for the Suns."

After the game, the TNT team commented on Jim and D'Antoni's polarized employment methods.
