Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

This time, Brown, who was in severe pain, missed 2 free throws, which was equivalent to wasting an offensive round in vain, which was no different from a mistake.

The Suns seized this opportunity and scored 2 points again, leading the score.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers' offense suddenly had problems.

Brown, who had been standing under the basket before and felt a bit like a pillar, suddenly came to a high position. He began to screen his teammates non-stop and perform pick-and-roll cooperation for the ball holder, but he did not play after the pick-and-roll. His own advantage cuts to the inside line, but moves to the outside line instead.

This caused the Lakers' offense to come to a huge stagnation immediately, and the previous tactics could no longer be played.

In just 2 minutes, the Suns once again played a wave of 6:0, and their lead was already running for 10 points.

Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout, and Brown didn't play according to the tactics for three consecutive rounds. Jackson keenly discovered the problem.

During the timeout, Jackson said: "What happened? Kwame, you played so well, why didn't you go to the basket all of a sudden? Did you feel unwell or did your injury recur?"

"No... no coach, I'm just... I'm just..." Brown muttered for a long time, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence. Jackson couldn't help but frown from his ink. frown.

"He's a softie, he's scared! Coach, let's change players, I can accept that everyone can't make shots and can't defend, but if a player doesn't even have the courage, then he doesn't deserve to play at all!" Kobe said in a cold voice, watching Brown said: "If you can find your courage next, I am willing to apologize for everything I said to you tonight, but if you can't, then you sit on the bench and don't drag everyone down!"

When Kobe said this, Jackson quickly analyzed what happened to "June 20" from what happened just now and the subtle expressions on everyone's faces. He was not in a hurry to solve the problem. He knew this kind of psychological problem, but Not something that can be easily resolved by pausing for 2 minutes.

Didn’t you see that in the 1995 finals, Anderson, the sharpshooter of the Magic team, lost the team because of 4 consecutive free throws at the last moment. With more than 70% of him, in the year after the finals that year, his free throw percentage plummeted to just over 40%!

After a whole year of psychological treatment, his free throw percentage slowly recovered, barely back to around 60%.

So Jackson let the Frenchman Turiaf play first, let Brown sit next to him, and said with a smile: "Kwame, come, tell me what happened just now? Did the Suns threaten you? Don't be afraid." , just tell me."

Jackson knew that Brown's mind was immature, and he still had the mentality of a child in essence, so he also used the most euphemistic, most childlike tone to talk to him.

Jackson knew how important Brown's role was for the team to win the series in the first few games. He also knew that although Turiaf, who was in his early 2 meters, was working hard, his deterrence in the interior was not something Brown could do. No matter the height, body, basket protection or screen quality, Turiaf is far inferior to Brown!

If Brown's psychological problems cannot be solved as soon as possible, and Turiaf can't stand it, Jackson can only play the young Andrew Bynum.

Thinking of this, Jackson couldn't help but glanced at the end of the bench. Bynum, who basically had no chance to play, was still obviously childish, and his behavior and appearance were obviously childish. As a young player, Jackson knows how talented Bynum is, but he also knows how immature Bynum is, so he is not in a hurry.

Even though the team asked Jackson to train Bynum as soon as possible so that he could get on the court and adapt to the NBA, Jackson didn't rush or encourage him. He just let Bynum practice level after game, and in the playoffs, In addition to the playoffs, Jackson has not given Bynum even a minute of playing time!

A good seedling of Bynum's type should grow slowly!

On the court, after replacing Turiaf, a player who is full of energy but not strong enough, the efficiency of the Lakers' offensive inside dropped immediately!

Especially when the Suns used Marion and Lin Zhan, two single-defense players, against Walton and Turiaf, and when Diaw and Odom, two jack-of-all-trades, played against each other, the inside of the Lakers It's even more difficult to beat!

Although Turiaf can jump and jump, but his innate height is only a little over 2 meters. The lack of height makes it very painful for him to face a strong player like Lin Zhan who can block the position and strike quickly, especially for the Lakers now. Focusing on positional warfare makes Turiaf's advantage of being able to run and run unable to be brought into play!

And Wharton was even worse against Marion. His body, height, jumping, and speed were completely blown out. Without the support of his inside partner, Jr. Wharton's best internal pass and internal coordination would not be able to play immediately. of.

As for Odom, although he can have a lot of advantages in the matchup with Dior, but Dior is also a type of player who relies on his brain. He can always appear in places that Odom hates the most. Being able to give Odom such a blow at a critical moment made Odom very uncomfortable!

In this case, the rhythm of the entire game has completely entered the rhythm of the Suns. Although they can't bring up the rhythm of the offensive end because of Kobe's watching Nash, they can still occupy a lot compared to the worse offensive environment of the Lakers. The advantages!

At the end of the first quarter, the Suns also led the Lakers by 7 points at 27:20!

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe still did not choose to rest, Kwame Brown did not appear again, and he was still chatting with Jackson on the sidelines.

On the side of the sun, the one who appeared with Kobe——is Lin Zhan!

D'Antoni decided to put Lin Zhan, the most stalking and fiercest among his three defensive players, in this period of time, let him consume Kobe's physical strength as much as possible, and make Kobe play harder!

After standing on the court, Lin Zhan suddenly felt that Kobe in front of him was a little different.

There is no previous ease and ease, nor the ease shown in the previous games.

Lin Zhan feels that Kobe's whole body seems to be tense! Now Kobe, like a beast that has seen its prey, is tensing up its muscles, quietly approaching the prey, ready to open its bloody mouth at any time and pounce on it. One hit kills the prey!

Lin Zhan has seen Kobe like this in countless game videos!

Kobe like this means one thing.

He's about to start scoring!

Lin Zhan couldn't help breathing faster! A feeling of excitement spread in his heart. Whether as a player or a fighter, Lin Zhan always has a fanatical yearning and anticipation for challenging the strong!

He knew that Kobe in the first five games was a rational version of Kobe who strictly implemented Jackson's strategy, played reasonably and did not take crazy shots.

But it was obviously Kwame Brown's attitude and the reality that the team's collective offense was seriously hindered, which drove the rational Kobe away.

Now Kobe is a man-eating beast!

Sure enough, on the first attack at the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe shot a super long 3-pointer at the top of the arc without any tactical knowledge!

"Shua!" There was a crisp sound, announcing the official release of Kobe Bryant!

Kobe, who is the favorite of the fans but helpless to the coach, is going to start his personal offensive mode!

Lin Zhan didn't talk nonsense with Kobe. He knew that Kobe would not be affected by any trash talk now. Facing Wharton's defense, Lin Zhan demanded the ball forcefully near the top of the arc. After feinting, he easily passed Wharton and came to the basket. Facing Turiaf, he hit a tough layup with a low hand!

Looking back, Kobe didn't have any extra running positions, he went directly to his favorite low post, which he had never seen in this series, stuck Lin Zhan with one hand, and demanded the ball very hard with the other hand!

After receiving the pass from Wharton, Kobe moved his feet quickly. Cooperating with the shaking of his upper body, Kobe suddenly stepped back and turned around to make a jump shot. Lin Zhan's defense at this time was no longer in place.

Kobe has enough confidence that he can hit every ball!

"Shua!" The basketball once again entered the basket incomparably.

After the ball was hit, Kobe didn't say much, he found Lin Zhan directly, and started the matchup with Lin Zhan again!

Now that Nash is not on the court, Lin Zhan is the most threatening offensive point for the Suns!

Facing Kobe's strict defense, Lin Zhan was not in a hurry to ask for the ball for singles. He knew his own advantages and disadvantages compared with Kobe.

His dribbling and breakthrough are definitely not as good as Kobe, but Lin Zhan has a good team and tactical system that Kobe doesn't have!

Dior got the basketball near the free throw line, raised the basketball with both hands, observed the running position of his teammates and prepared to send his own support ball, Lin Zhan just rushed out from the baseline at this time

After turning around Dior, he successfully used Dior's body to block Kobe's fierce pursuit, and at the same time Dior also gave the ball to Lin Zhan.

Lin Zhan didn't stop holding the ball, taking advantage of the moment when Kobe was blocked, he went straight to the basket, facing Turiaf's defense, and made another tough hit!

"Kobe, maybe I can't guard you! Maybe you can guard me! But you can't guard our team! You alone are not our entire team's opponent!" After scoring the goal, Lin Zhan couldn't help shouting He yelled at Kobe, even if it was useless, Lin Zhan would let Kobe feel his toughness!

Kobe didn't care about Lin Zhan at all, he has completely entered the state.

In the first few minutes of the second quarter, it became a one-on-one show between Lin Zhan and Kobe.

Kobe showed off his almighty offensive methods and ubiquitous scoring points. Lin Zhan succeeded in consecutive singles and kept scoring.

Lin Zhan knew that it would be difficult for him to play Kobe one-on-one. He kept looking for cover, kept using off-ball running and Dior's support ability to find opportunities to catch the ball or directly attack the basket!

In this case, although Lin Zhan's offensive versatility is far inferior to Kobe's, his efficiency can be well guaranteed!

After all, there are two people, one is making all kinds of strong shots against others, and the other is all relatively easy shots, although the audience and commentators can see that Kobe is obviously stronger and more dominant

………………

But there are also some people who see it more clearly: "No matter how strong Kobe is, no matter how good his scoring ability is, he can't score 5 points with one ball. His two-pointers are still 2 points, and his three-pointers are still 3 points! His goals are beautiful and not good. Can't add one more point to this goal, and Lin Zhan's goal is simple and monotonous, and no points will be deducted for it!"

What's more, for the sun, the last thing they fear is that someone will run with them and go crazy!

Almost halfway through the second quarter, Nash, Marion and others finally returned to the court. The Lakers also changed players. Except for Kobe who didn't go down to rest, the other four players changed all over again.

Before the main force came back, Kobe had already turned on the killing mode in this half of the game. He scored 18 points on 7 of 11 shots. Lin Zhan, who was facing him, also played amazing performance during this period. Lin Zhan made 5 of 8 shots and scored 13 points thanks to his off-ball attributes and Dior's excellent support!

However, although a large number of main players from both sides have returned to the court, Kwame Bloom

Lang still did not play, and his situation became more and more confusing.

Brown's absence did not affect Kobe's offensive touch, even though the Suns now have all three perimeter defensive masters, and once again started to encircle him and fight against him, Kobe

Kobe didn't care about who was standing in front of him or how many people were standing in front of him.

He is already disappointed with his teammates, at this moment, he only believes in himself!

Kobe Bryant still continued his firepower in the second half of the second quarter. The encirclement or double-teaming of three people made his efficiency and number of shots drop significantly.

Duan Kobe only hit 3 goals in 7 shots and scored 9 points, but Kobe was still unstoppable in this quarter, scoring 27 points!

In addition to the 5 points in the first quarter, he had already scored 32 points in the first half!

The score of the two sides was also under Kobe's madness, from the original 7 points behind the Lakers to 56:55, the Lakers were 1 point behind!

At halftime, in the Lakers locker room, Phil Jackson didn't rush to say anything, just let more physical therapists play the first half, and the offensive end went down.

At 32 points, Kobe, who was still entangled with Nash, was doing as much recovery as possible.

At the same time, he was also constantly boosting the morale of the team. It was not until the end of the intermission that Jackson finally walked to Kobe's side, bent down and said: "You still have

Are you willing to trust your teammates?"

"If they are willing to play well and work hard with me, then I am willing to believe it!" Kobe nodded without hesitation and said that O'Neal's success in Miami made

Kobe has matured rapidly, and now he is eager to prove that he is a better player than O'Neal, he is eager to succeed, this impatience, let Kobe mature quickly, let

He is willing 2.6 to put up with something that was unbearable before.

"Then the third quarter is our best chance! I've got Kwame done, he'll continue to be brave, and everyone will think you're going to continue the madness in the second quarter."

Personal show, but if you start passing the ball, the Suns' defense will definitely have a lot of holes!"

Jack patted Kobe and didn't continue talking. He has different methods for different people.

For Kobe, he only needs to stop and stop, and some aggressive methods from time to time.

For people like Brown, he has to be persuasive, enlightening and comforting bit by bit.

For Odom, who is happy and free, he will turn into a strict teacher, extremely strict.

In the Suns locker room, D'Antoni said: "Lin did a great job in the first half! Destroy their inside tactics and let Kobe attack alone! He can't beat it alone.

A team! Even if he's Kobe! Don't forget, he also needs to pester Steve to stop his advance. "

"Steve, you dribble as much as you can, find as many screens, wear him out! I want Kobe too tired to walk in the fourth quarter! Everyone else

In this way, even if the Lakers change their strategy in the second half and Jackson asks Kobe to defend others, then no matter who he defends, you all run for me!"

"Run up, fight against him, compete with him! Use up his physical strength! Again, I want him to be in the fourth quarter, so tired that he can't walk!"

After the deployment of the coaches of both sides, the players once again filed onto the court, and the duel in the second half officially began!
