Chapter 703 Mutual hatred and mutual stimulation (big chapter asks for tickets~)

Kobe Bryant scored 22 points in the half, which has brought his total points in the Christmas game to more than 400, but now, no one is in the mood to watch this.Because they were behind by a big score, they entered the garbage time early, which made the Los Angeles fans worry.

It also made the Lakers worry about themselves.

This can be regarded as the seeded team with a complete lineup that they have really encountered since the start of the season. The previous Spurs and Thunder were all absent from the main players, so it was easy to harvest.For the first time, the Miami Heat let the Zijin Army know the gap between them and a real strong team.

Ridiculously large.

Wade and Kobe's offense and defense, although the latter has the upper hand, but this advantage is really not enough to offset James and Bosh, besides, Miami's other substitutes also feel good tonight, which caused the Lakers to collapse early.In the first quarter, Tang Qian was better on the court. As soon as Tang Qian took a break in the second quarter, there was a problem immediately, and he was blown up by inside and outside.

In the locker room, D'Antoni only said a few dry words, and then went to "study" the tactical board, because first, without a strong point guard, his tactical system could not be played, and second, the opponent was too strong. It may not be useful now.Trailing by 34 points at halftime, this is simply a naked slap.

Kobe stood up at this time and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, I will play No. 1 in the second half, and the rest are ready to catch the ball and attack."

D'Antoni was overjoyed when he heard this, because Kobe was good enough to do the job, but it turned out that they thought too much.

Because except for Tang Qian who scored a few points, the rest of them didn't have any baskets at all, and a little interference with the outside shooting rate would not work.And the Miami Heat, the team with the best defensive rotation in the league in recent seasons, relying on the mobility and ability of the Big Three, basically rarely has a particularly large open space.So the group of Lakers, the shooting rate is not good.

To make matters worse, Steve Blake twisted his ankle because of a rebound not long after he played in the third quarter, and was helplessly carried back to the locker room on a stretcher.The replaced Jordan Farmar is shorter, has worse firepower, and is not as good as Steve Blake.That's right, he was originally signed to play as a substitute, and if you suddenly want him to play the main force, naturally his ability will not be able to keep up.The height problem made the Heat frequently force them even more, so it was a pleasure.

More than half of the third quarter, the score difference not only did not narrow, but it got bigger.

40-76, with a score difference of 36 points, the Big Three of the Heat all took a rest, because if they continue to fight, it will be a bit humiliating and it will easily lead to fights.With the incident at Madison Square Garden as a lesson for the past, the Heat coach dare not take it lightly.Otherwise, once a problem arises and ruins the possible Miami dynasty, the "magic operator" Riley will not let him go.

Even so, it was still disappointing. After all, the score difference was too big.

Kobe got annoyed as he missed another shot from the outside line. He hugged Mario Chalmers of the Heat, and then the dead ball was suspended.At this time, in the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers, some boos and boos could even be faintly heard.This sound is particularly "harsh".

In the TNT live broadcast room, Shaq O'Neal kept saying: "How is it? Charles? Are you convinced? I said the Lakers will be burned, right? The score difference is 36 points. Hehe, there is only one regular season game in NBA history. The team has completed a reversal, that is, the Utah Jazz in 1996, and the Jazz that year was the Finals team, the Lakers this season? Impossible."

Barkley also wanted to refute, but the score difference was too great. As O'Neill said, with 36 points, there was only one successful counterattack in NBA history.And how many games have been played in the long history of the NBA?Countless!This probability is basically smaller than winning [-] million US dollars.

Much smaller.

So it makes sense for Eric Spoelstra to replace the "Big Three". If the game continues, it will easily make the Lakers lose control of their emotions.

And this game is still the biggest stage of the regular season, the Christmas game, there is no need to fight to the death.

Kobe sat on the bench, his eyes burning with anger. It was nothing to lose this game, mainly because this game made him realize that it is basically impossible for the Lakers to break out of the Western Conference this season, and it is basically impossible to win the championship.Even the first round of the playoffs will be eliminated.

This is what annoyed him.

"Bryant, later you go deeper and then pass the ball. This may be better for the Heat's defense." However, before D'Antoni finished his sentence, the Lakers broke out on the 24th. He interrupted directly: "Is it useful to go deeper? Can the ball I pass be shot? Can they break through Miami's rotation defense? Rotation speed?"

This is a bit hurtful, but what Kobe inherited is the "incentive" of the Jordan model, not gentle encouragement, but tyrant rule.

For example, our defense is like toilet paper, some players have no brains at all, you have to get XXXX honors to be eligible to interrupt me, and to have an equal conversation with me... These series of famous quotes are Jordan's whiplash model.But in Los Angeles, this set is actually very useful, because the city of angels is also a city of corruption, no one strongly encourages them, only falling apart.

Look at those 2 consecutive champions who left Kobe, how many of them did well?If Mrs. Jia hadn't gone to the east, she probably wouldn't have been treated so well.So perdition and temptation are the other side of the City of Angels, and a strong leader is needed to lead everyone forward.Phil Jackson once publicly said that the defending team (because Jackson won three consecutive championships at other times, so there is no special point) is the team with the worst talent in all seasons he coached .

Look at the trend of holding groups that is gradually becoming more and more popular now, and you will understand the meaning of the words "Zen Master".

Bill Simmons and Jeff Van Gundy also conducted a program discussion on this Lakers team, and the final conclusion was that they both believed that without Kobe, the 07-10 Lakers would at most be an ordinary playoff team Team, 2 rounds will be the limit.Therefore, Kobe's leadership style is actually quite correct for the Lakers and Los Angeles.But...it's not like it used to be.

That Lakers team is a team that has struggled for a long time, a team with a tacit understanding of the team and a common goal, that is to say, there are many real "Lakers" in it.So Kobe's doing this is really beneficial, it can stimulate the self-esteem of these people, let them know their shame and then be brave.But now, the situation is different. In this Lakers team, except for himself and Tang Qian, most of the people have "chips" and all have short contracts for one year, which is a proper "mercenary" nature.You want to use the tyrant leadership model to spur this group of people, that is a dream.

Jordan is here, too.

Because this leadership model is only suitable for stable teams, the same is true in the early stages of Jordan's career, isn't it useless?
So what Kobe said, not only did not have a "stimulating" effect, but it caused the morale, which was not high at first, to plummet and plummet.Having said that, this group of people can play downwind, but against the wind, don't count on it.

Seeing this group of people wearing Lakers jerseys, so cowardly, so bloodless, Kobe's eyes were rekindled with rage, and his thoughts of changing his style of play just now disappeared in an instant.With this lineup, it is useless for you to let Kobe play the 1st position. There is no defense, no independent offensive ability, and no basket.The faster you play, the more you lose.

No one answered Kobe's words, which made the atmosphere in the Lakers' bench area even more awkward.

In the past, there was an "old fish" Fisher as a regulator, but now, only Kobe himself.

And the Lakers are no longer the Lakers back then.

At this moment, someone spoke, the voice was not loud, but it was very forceful: "Shoot the ball, so we have a little chance. If you don't shoot, you won't be able to organize and connect. As for the defensive end, let them come in , that's the only way."

The person who spoke was No. 29 of the Lakers. He looked at the Lakers players around him and said, "I know everyone can't guard against it, and they don't have the mood and thoughts, but it's too early to go to the locker room to take a shower. I just want to ask Look, who else wants to go up and fight? No matter who you are, what position you are in, or what ability you have, if you are willing to go up and fight hard, say a word."

Seeing that no one spoke, Tang Qian continued: "This is an opportunity, the Christmas game, if you can prove yourself, maybe you can get more playing time in the future, and what playing time means, I think everyone I don't need to say more, do I?"

"Okay, who wants to go up and play hard? Let me state first, if you agree to go up and play vainly, you will work for me without any effort." Tang Qian snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: "Then don't blame me for not being recognized by the six relatives." , Hurt the feelings between teammates."

Under the watchful eyes of Tang Qian and Kobe, someone finally "stepped forward", and this person was surprising.

He is none other than Robert Thackeray? !

"You..." Not only Tang Qian, but Kobe was also taken aback, because in the Lakers team, although this guy has a height of 7 feet, he has a good tonnage, a full 270 pounds, which is more than Tang Qian now. It's still a pound heavier, but...you ask the Lakers or Lakers fans, how many people have expectations for this guy?Except every time I wave the towel...

But few people know that he actually has a deep affection for the Lakers, and he worked very hard during the training process, but his talent is not very good, so the upper limit is not high.But this guy is actually very loyal and passionate, and of course the price is super cheap, so the Lakers management has always been willing to renew his contract.

But in the game, really, really, the Lakers' No. 50 really doesn't have much sense of presence.

Even Tang Qian often ignored him.

"I, I want to try, can I? Bryant? Hot?" Thackeray smiled awkwardly. It seemed that this was the first time he was so noticed by the Lakers. He was not used to it.Tang Qian and Kobe looked at each other, nodded and said: "Of course, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can. Will you work hard, Robert?"

Seeing that he had won this opportunity, Thackeray was also a little excited, and said: "Of course, of course, hot, look, look, I have a new Chinese tattoo on my arm." Thackeray put himself Turning his left arm, Tang Qian found two big Chinese characters tattooed carelessly on the inside of his triceps, which together are called "faith".

"Faith? That's right, Robert. This is a very good Chinese word with profound meaning." Seeing that this guy has Chinese characters tattooed on his arm, Tang Qian's affection for him inexplicably increased: "Go ahead, we You need guys who can play hard, right, Bryant?"

Kobe didn't speak, but nodded slightly, agreeing.

"Is there anyone else?" Tang Qian asked.

Someone took the lead, and soon there was a chain reaction. The second person was Jordan Farmar. His reason was very simple. He won two NBA championships with Kobe, and he can be regarded as a real Laker.Both Tang Qian and Kobe expressed their appreciation, because although Farmar did not defend well tonight, it does not mean that his enthusiasm is not good, it is just a matter of ability.

The third person is Jody Meeks. Although he also said a few beautiful words, it was mainly for the playing time and to "clean up" the statistics.But as long as he is willing to play hard and don't work hard, then Tang Qian doesn't care what the motivation is.

"Okay, five people are all together." Tang Qian said: "Our job is to defend, defend seriously, and defend 100% hard. If you receive an open ball, don't hesitate. You must shoot decisively, understand?"

"Okay! We will!" The three agreed at the same time.

"Mr. Black Mamba, the offensive end mainly depends on you, okay?" Tang Qian asked intentionally, this is also a kind of "inferior aggressive method".But people like Kobe are very fond of "aggressive tactics". You don't care whether he is intentional or not. Anyway, No. 24 of the Lakers said at the time: "Do you think there is a problem?"

"Wade is not an ordinary person, he is recognized as the third and fourth place in history?" Tang Qian said again.

"So what?" Kobe's eyes turned cold and he said, "I'm in position, and I have only one opponent."

"Well, I know, it's just that Wade also scored 18 points now, right? It's only 4 points away from you, Mr. Mamba."

"I'll get more than half of his points on his head tonight." After Kobe finished speaking, he drank his sports drink through a straw. A "protection mechanism" set up by drinking too much to prevent physical problems.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Tang Qian said, but just after finishing speaking, No. 24 also turned his face and asked: "Hot, your data tonight may be a bit shabby, right? You forgot to eat Have you had dinner? Or are you having trouble with the Heat inside?"

Bounce me?This black mamba is really learning and selling.

However, it is also very good for my appetite!

Tang Qian unscrewed the lid of the drinking cup, then took a big sip and said, "Bryant, it's not fair for you to say that. The Heat's hand in the first quarter was so good that I couldn't get a few of them." Rebounding? I didn’t even play in the second quarter, so it’s not surprising that the statistics are not good. But since you said that, let me make a pre-match announcement.”

Tang Qian pointed at Kobe Bryant and said, "At least 20 rebounds and 10 blocks. How about it?"

Kobe smiled and said, "Not enough, it's not even your average rebounds per game this season, and the blocked shots are not satisfactory."

Tang Qian's current halftime data is 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. In the remaining time, he has to score 13 rebounds and 8 blocks. He said directly: "How about 24 rebounds and 30 blocks?"

"Deal." Kobe said happily now. In fact, he didn't want Tang Qian to achieve such a statistic. He just wanted to motivate him. After all, the person he trusts most in this team is No. 29.

He knew very well in his heart that without the help of No. 29, the Lakers don't know if they can win 10 games now, let alone the third place in the Western Conference.In addition, the latter used the mysterious "Qigong" to bring him back to the top for a year. These factors made Kobe pay special attention to him and liked him very much.

Therefore, the requirements are naturally stricter.

Seeing that the offensive and defensive cores are "fighting each other" like this, Thackeray also got excited and said: "I, I will definitely not hold you back, and I will definitely play the best performance of my career!"

Dip~ Timeout is up, Kobe put down the sports drink in his hand, patted Tang Qian on the shoulder and said: "Enough rest, it's time to play, don't drag me back on the defensive end, it's hot."

Tang Qian smiled and said: "You are the one, Black Mamba, don't drag us back on the offensive end, the team's inside defense, you don't need to worry about it! Mind your own business!"

All of a sudden, the two of them actually exploded. This feeling is very tacit.

However, the Heat didn't know it. Since the number of fouls in the third quarter hadn't arrived, they just executed an out-of-bounds serve.

As soon as the basketball was delivered to Mario Chalmers, a black shadow passed him, and then cut the basketball away together.

bang~
Mario Chalmers looked back and saw that No. 24 of the Lakers was already hanging on the basket.

42-76.

However, because they were still 34 points behind, the Staples Center did not cause much disturbance.

The Heat's current lineup is PG Mario Chalmers SG Norris Cole SF Ray Allen PF Rashad Lewis C Chris Anderson.It looks ordinary, but if you look closely, except for Chris Anderson, everyone else has the ability to shoot from a medium to long distance.This is still a high-mobility lineup of "one big and four small", with good firepower.

It's just that the defensive ability has dropped a lot, and it is far less invincible than the presence of the Big Three.

The Heat dribbled and attacked again, playing a pick-and-roll tactic. It seemed that Mario Chalmers was not stupid, he knew he couldn't play blindly in front of Kobe.One-on-one, no one on the outside dares to say that they can overwhelm Kobe, even James, there are not many scenes where he beat Kobe hard.The main reason is that the regular season is all about offense and defense. Only in the playoffs can it become a situation where the signature stars fight each other. Therefore, the offensive and defensive shots of James and Kobe are not enough to make a large number of samples and videos. Most of the time, the two are out of position, and there are very few opportunities for head-to-head confrontation.Furthermore, now that Miami has Wade at the 2nd position, it is even more impossible for James to have too many head-to-head confrontations with Kobe in the regular season.

In the regular season, there is a regular season style of play, which every NBA player knows.

So the regular season match data doesn't mean anything. Don't you see that the Lakers easily killed the Magic to win the championship. In fact, the Lakers were "double-killed" by the Magic in the regular season?So many things, the data of the regular season, cannot be directly copied and used in the playoffs.

Seeing that Kobe is so fierce this season, Chalmers was stupid to confront him, honestly "confess" and play the pick-and-roll, which is the best way out.But unfortunately, his teammates failed to block Kobe with the ball, Kobe squeezed it with his body forcibly, and then on the 24th he began to implement "nougat defense" against Mario Chalmers.

As I said before, this is a kind of ball-holding defense that poses a great threat to the ball handler. Wade would be deflated if he encounters it, not to mention a mere Mario Chalmers, who was soon forced into a turnover by Kobe. , The basketball was cut off for the second time.

Kobe dribbled wildly, Mario Chalmers couldn't catch up at all, and he was intercepted near the top arc, and the rest of the Heat didn't have time to return to the defense to help.In the end, I could only watch helplessly as the Lakers staged another one-handed dunk on the 24th, and the Lakers scored another 2 points.

44-76, the score difference is still leading by 32 points, but Mario Chalmers' consecutive mistakes made Heat coach Erik Spoelstra angry.The latter stood on the bench area and shouted: "Don't hold the ball for a long time! Get the basketball running! Get it? Get running! Don't stick the ball!"

This is a correct decision, because if we continue, we can only continue to make mistakes. Under the defensive pressure of super-peak Kobe, Mario Chalmers?It's really not enough.

It's a good way to get it working. No matter how strong Kobe is, it's impossible for an outside line to defend against five.

Chalmers shakes off Meeks, strides to the basket, then throws a shot, and then... is blocked by a big hand that rises higher and higher.

The Lakers attacked. Kobe originally wanted to come by himself, but saw No. 29 follow up, so he had an idea, made a fake move, and then threw the basketball in his hand gorgeously.Kobe played in this style. No matter what it was, he did it extremely well, and it was not a deliberately pretended style.

This really made countless people burst into tears, because the gorgeous style of play is a huge foundation for attracting fans. If you play too ordinary, even if you are as strong as Duncan, then you still have insufficient fan attraction.The bonus of this point is really great. Fans buy tickets for the sake of pleasing the eyes, right?
"Birdman" Anderson wanted to intercept the ball, but found that his jump height was not high enough, and he didn't even touch the hair of the basketball. In the next second, he was directly knocked out by a huge force.

bang~
Tang Qian alley-oop into the basket!The Lakers scored another 2 points!
46-76, only behind... 30 points.

At this time, Ray Allen stepped forward. Without hesitation, he raised his knife and dropped a 3-pointer. The basketball went through the Lakers' net.

hollow.

46-79, which made the momentum that the Lakers were just about to set off, and suddenly suffered a basin of cold water, and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra also sat back in his seat.This man nicknamed "Gentleman Lei" and "Gentleman Sword" is really cold. He often made such shots in his life, which made the opposing fans hate it.

He glanced at Kobe, and there seemed to be a little ridicule and provocation in his eyes.

Ray Allen is serious, he and Kobe have always had a rift, and they have never been able to deal with each other. This started before entering the NBA.Getting started in Chicago's rookie camp, to be exact.Kobe said during the physical test that there is nothing wrong with my body, no injuries, and nothing to check.This sentence was heard by Ray Allen, who suddenly said: "That's because you are only 17 years old and you haven't done anything yet."The subtext of this sentence is that you haven't played high-intensity games for several years at all, and you are still a baby.

Kobe's heart can do this?The reporter at the time, John Smallswood, said that if the two young men hadn't had too many cameras beside them, they would probably have had sex with their arms.Not to mention that Ray Allen later publicly accused Kobe of "squeezing away" O'Neal and bombarded Kobe for being selfish.The truth of the matter is that in the future, Jackson and O'Neal will both stand up and say that it was the management's decision, and Kobe can only accept it.It can also be seen that Kobe does not have much say in the management, otherwise there would be no need to stage the "forced palace incident" in 07.

The number 24 of the Lakers, um, Kobe, who was still number 8 at the time, said directly: Don't compare me with him, I will kick his ass in future games!
Coupled with the two matchups in the finals, the relationship between the two has never eased.

This Chinese explanation is that the two people do not see each other, there is a bit of disagreement, and they are at odds.

Anyway, Tang Qian thinks that Ray Allen, needless to say, is an excellent 3D player, but his character is debatable.Because apart from Kobe, he also has conflicts with many people in the NBA, such as the head coach, owner, former teammates, and opponents, you can simply write a "League Enmity Record".I don't know who got the nickname "Gentleman Lei", it's very incongruous.

Garnett and Pierce's attitude towards Ray Allen was also a stroke of luck. This guy was far less kind than he appeared on the surface.Look at the first conflict with Kobe, he picked the head first. Kobe had never dealt with Ray Allen before.Can you be happy when you are stunned by someone for no reason?
So after Kobe saw this look, he asked for the ball directly, pulled it away and went straight to Ray Allen.

Ray Allen also tried his best to defend Kobe, with a lot of physical contact, but now Kobe, he can't do it.

No. 24 crushed with his back, then shook Ray Allen, and a spoon licked the basket into the net, 48-79.

"You think you can guard against me? No rookie camp, no Bucks, no Supersonics, no Boston, and now...even less." Kobe said to Ray Allen after he landed, he and this guy, Never too polite.

Ray Allen saw that the lead was 30 points anyway, and the Big Three were not on the court, so he decided to hit a response ball and pay Kobe back.

However, the way he responded to the ball was very "LOW", because he used the pick-and-roll, or 2 times, before passing the 24th and entering the Lakers' penalty area.

Ray Allen made a layup with a low hand, but after all, he is still too old and has lost the explosive power he had when he was young, so this shot... was grabbed by No. 29 of the Lakers, and then threw it to the first quick kobe.Kobe made a single fast break. He didn't choose a safe 2-point shot, but a left three-point shot, basketball, swiped~, and hit the net.

51-79, the Lakers brought the score back to 20+.

"Hey, you are too old to challenge me. Next time, you should be honest and score."

It's okay to be ridiculed and hit by Kobe, what are you?Ray Allen said unceremoniously to Tang Qian: "Oriental guy, don't be too complacent. It's just a ball."

Seeing Ray Allen's tone, Tang Qian changed into a sneer, and responded, "California guy, you can vote in front of me a few more times if you can. I'll let you know what it's like to be called a dog."

"What did you say?" Ray Allen said angrily, "Do you deserve a beating?"

Tang Qian did not retreat but advanced, looking down at the short-headed Ray Allen and said: "I should say this to you. California guy, do you think this is still Boston? Do you think you still have Garnett? Backing up with Pierce?"

"Look at the reality! Now I can't stop you from beating you! Do you understand?"
