Legendary basketball manager

Compared with last year's lineup of seniors, the Rockets' athletic ability is no longer the same.

McGrady, Griffin, and George went straight into the Lakers' hinterland from all directions.

Although the Zijin players struggled to retreat, they were still exhausted.

I saw Lowry pass the ball to George who followed up on the right side. The latter rushed to the basket after receiving the ball, and suddenly threw the ball high after encountering the defense...

The birdman who completed the wonderful cover earlier, rushed to applaud!

He jumped high and dunked the ball into the basket!

Yu Jia immediately sighed: "Mark Jackson's adjustment is too timely this time! In terms of defense alone, Tucker may not be weaker than Anderson, but in terms of frame protection, Birdman is definitely the stronger one!"

Anderson's playing has injected new vitality into the Rockets' inside defense.

The Lakers' inside offensive in the second half was also greatly restricted.

The battle was fierce, and the game once again entered a stalemate.

The two teams came and went and played until the last 4 minutes of the fourth quarter.

At this time, the Rockets led the Lakers by 90 points with 82:8.

During a dead ball, both sides sent all their main players back to the field.

When he played this time, Kobe's eyes were much fiercer than at the beginning of the game.

Just like his nickname - Black Mamba, his eyes are shining with gleams, and his poisonous fangs are ready to strike his opponent at any time.

As for the Rockets, McGrady and Griffin played at the same time.

On T-MAC's face, there was no longer the lazy look at the beginning.

At this time, everyone wants to win this close game!

............

The Lakers go first.

Fisher passed the ball to the inside, and Paul Gasol singled out Birdman Anderson.

After some relying on playing, Gasol turned over and shot a jumper. The ball swiped around the basket and rolled out again.

Griffin jumped high and received the rebound.

The Rockets quickly launched a conversion attack.

George rushed at high speed, received a pass from Lowry, rushed to the basket, and succeeded in a one-handed dunk.

92: 82!

The Rockets expanded the point difference to double digits.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Odom broke into the basket, a false shot will fly Griffin.

But when he took off for the second time and was about to complete the finish, Griffin actually killed the carbine in the air.

I saw him half-turned in the air and blocked Odom's shot with his other hand.

The perverted air time and reaction speed made Yang Yi, the host of CCTV, say he couldn't believe it:

"Oh my god, this is a monster! It's the first time I've seen someone block a shot in the air!"

Lowry controlled the ball and the Rockets counterattacked again.

At this time, the Lakers fans in the Staples Arena were already a little desperate.

Seeing the balance of victory tilted to the Rockets a little bit, they booed bursts.

I just don't know whether the boos are interfering with the Rockets' fast break, or they are venting their dissatisfaction with the home team's performance.

Look back on the field.

George once again received a pass from his teammate and went to the basket again.

After rushing to the free throw line, he raised his long legs and walked in three steps.

Seeing that he was about to make a layup, a black hand suddenly appeared from behind him and stabbed the ball away.

It was Kobe!

He started chasing and defending desperately after his teammates hit the iron, and finally completed the steal at the last moment.

Fortunately, the ball did not go out of bounds, and Kobe quickly passed the half court with the ball.

Two steps away from the three-point line, he suddenly received the ball, pulled it up directly, and shot a super long three-pointer.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

92:85, the Lakers continue to bite the score!

Off the court, Mark Jackson frowned.

He had a hunch that in the last half of the game, Kobe would take over the game.

But McGrady, who is facing him, does not seem to have enough defensive ability to stop Mamba's offense.

Mark Jackson glances back at the bench...

Tony Allen, Danny Green, and Battier all looked eager to try.

But the question is... who can they replace?

The five players currently playing for the Rockets are: Lowry, Tracy McGrady, George, Griffin and Anderson.

Each of the five people performed their duties and played an important role.

Off the court, although the three players have strong perimeter defense capabilities, their functions are single.

[Replace Lowry and let McGrady play point guard? ]

Mark Jackson thought of such a method.

Ever since, taking advantage of an opportunity when the ball went out of bounds, he replaced Lowry with Tony Allen.

Mark Jackson wanted to rely on Tony Allen to limit Kobe.

Unexpectedly, the Black Mamba at the critical moment is already unstoppable.

In the next 5 consecutive rounds, Kobe singled out Tony Allen and scored!

This made Allen, who is known for his defense, a little bit broken.

the stands.Shen Fei looked at the red-eyed Kobe, smiled and shook his head.

He has witnessed many classic Kobe games in his previous life, and now it is a typical Mamba moment.

Shen Fei clearly remembered that in the 08 finals, Kobe once scored 3 consecutive points in the third quarter.

Tony Allen was among the Celtics players responsible for defending Kobe at the time.

This defensive champion who once deflated the Splash Brothers and Durant still seemed a little powerless in front of the crazy Kobe.

Moreover, the Rockets' problem is not just that they can't defend against Kobe, their offense has also had problems during this period of time!

After Lowry left the field, McGrady started to organize.

T-MAC has a certain ear passing ability, but he is not a full-time point guard after all.

Moreover, in the past few months after recovering physical functions, McGrady spent more time on training personal offensive skills, and was a little rusty about the passing organization.

If you can't attack, you can't defend.

The advantage of about 10 points established by the Rockets since the third quarter is now gone.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the two teams tied at 105.

Mark Jackson had no choice but to call a timeout.

............

"Kyle, you will play again in a while, and you must pass the ball up."

"There is another question. In the last 2 minutes, which one of you is willing to stand up and defend the match?"

Mark Jackson looked around at the soldiers and asked.

......

A brief silence.

Everyone knows one thing - Kobe, who scored 6 goals in a row, has hot hands!Whoever guards against him now may become the background board.

Even a veteran like Battier didn't say anything at this time, obviously hesitating.

"I come!"

George on the side suddenly spoke.

In this game, he performed quite well.

When McGrady shined, George was willing to be a green leaf, reducing his personal offense.

"Okay! I'll leave it to you, Paul!"

Mark - Jackson showed a relieved smile.

Obviously, he appreciates this kind of player who dares to take on heavy responsibilities at critical moments!
