Chapter 342 Mamba Mentality
When they saw Kobe flying to save the ball, many people couldn't help being moved.

Thinking of his scoring performances in the past few years, he has still been questioned by the outside world, because the team has no results. This year should have been a year for him to break through doubts, but he met the Magic.

He is already 30 years old, and with a career spanning more than ten years, he is considered a veteran in every respect, but he is still struggling and proving himself.

It is said that there are three "veteran players" on Lukai's side who are fighting for the championship, but for Kobe, how many times can he fight?
Seeing this scene, Sun Zhengping couldn't help saying emotionally: "This is the real basketball spirit. When we watch basketball games and the NBA, we don't just look at good-looking goals and passes, but also look at their skills and abilities, as well as this kind of competition." The spirit of sports, never give up, no matter what kind of difficulties and obstacles you face.

"Even if I fail in the end, even if the bamboo basket fetches water in vain, I have worked hard, I have tried my best, and I will not leave any regrets, because I know this is the end I have reached..."

I'm not pretending anymore, I'm also Comey, what's there to hide?
There is really nothing to hide, even Li Chengming wants to say hello to my department at this time.

But the applause is the applause, and I still can't show mercy after playing the game.

All the main players of both sides returned to the court. At this time, the Lakers caught up with only 3 points under a wave of offensive. Even everyone's mental outlook looked a little different, as if they were all "blackened".

In the next few minutes, the game suddenly became very tragic. It was either all kinds of pressing on the outside or all kinds of offensives on the inside.

Fortunately, the two teams are not the kind of teams with very dark hands at present. Although Kobe's Los Angeles elbow is quite famous, but when the team's situation is just right, he naturally doesn't want to make extra troubles.

On the contrary, Howard didn't control his elbow and gave Gasol a technical foul.

Fortunately, he is still far from being suspended. He has only received 3 technical fouls in the entire playoffs. The first choice is Li Chengming, and Li Chengming is so easy to pick.

For Howard, the most effective way is to use foul tactics, so the Lakers also decisively used them when chasing points.

After Howard was depressed and sent to the free throw line in a row, he began to perform the plot of relatives and enemies.

But he didn't want to, and he didn't want to miss the penalty, but he just missed the penalty and didn't want to be fouled, but the Lakers came up directly to hug him. If the referee turned a blind eye, it would become a "black whistle" at this time.

This is indeed a helpless thing. It is impossible for the Magic to surround the referee and say that he should not blow the whistle. After all, this is done according to the rules and to protect the players.

If there is no such thing as a foul, the action will get bigger and bigger, and finally the player will be injured, so why not call a foul.

That is to say, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lakers caught up and surpassed by 4 points. It is not good for Van Gundy to replace Howard, otherwise there will be problems on the defensive end.

At this time, Howard is a double-edged sword. Van Gundy chose to bet that they can defend, and at the same time Howard can make more free throws.

It can only be said that he lost part of the bet, and that's how it turned out.

The Magic fans were really trembling with anger at this time, and they hated Howard for nothing, and they were dissatisfied with the "despicable" behavior of the Lakers.

"Is there a mistake, can you make the game smoother, what's the point of making free throws all the time?"

"The Lakers played really disgustingly. They couldn't fight head-on, so they just played this dirty trick."

"Warcraft is really annoying today. I feel like I can do this free throw."

"I have reservations about other 'I can do it', but I think it's really hard to say."

……

Of course, the Lakers fans are not to be outdone. After the team takes the lead, they don't care what means they use, as long as they can win.

"Don't be funny, okay, I'm not good at free throws, so why are you blaming people for hacking?"

"I'm a Lakers fan. When O'Neal was here, the whole league came to target us. Didn't we still win three consecutive championships? We are really capable, and foul tactics can't stop it."

"Isn't Li Chengming amazing, let him stand up, why can't he stand up?"

"Damn it, the Lakers are awesome, they actually overtook it, this game is over!"

"Don't give up, it's 2:3 if you win this game, there is still hope for the championship!"

"It's not a violation of the rules. How can it not work if you use the rules reasonably? The Magic can replace Howard, who is lagging behind, why not?"

Of course, it is impossible to replace it. If it is replaced at this time, it will also be a blow to Howard himself.

If he does not score a penalty, he will not score a penalty, but if he is replaced, it will be the coaching team's distrust of him, which is likely to have a bad impact and cause this "happy boy" to rebel.

In fact, in many cases in the NBA, personnel changes are not arranged entirely based on personal status, and there are also factors in this layer.

Whether it is a star player or a stable rotation, if the coach gives up because of poor performance in a game or a certain period of time, it will have an impact on the individual players and the overall unity and stability of the team.

Conversely, if a player who has been performing poorly can still get stable playing time and ball possession, it will also be detrimental to instability within the team.

The coaching staff not only arranges training and game tactics, but also pays attention to the mentality of the players. It can even be said that in the NBA, chicken soup-type coaches are more popular than those with strong tactics to a certain extent.

To put it bluntly, it means being able to build a good relationship with the stars in the team. If the stars play comfortably and the team has a certain record, then the position of the coach will be stable.

Coaches in Europe have higher status and authority, but in the NBA, stars have a higher right to speak, and the status of coaches is a bit embarrassing, and some are even called accessories of stars, such as Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown and Star LeBron James...

However, for passer-by fans, apart from the fact that the slashing tactics have some impact on the perception, the collision in the last few minutes of the game has made many people enjoy it.

"This is the intensity that the finals should have!"

When the game progressed to the last minute and a half, the Lakers led by 5 points, and it seemed like a rainbow at this time, Van Gundy called a timeout again.

Looking at Li Chengming, who was panting on the bench, and Howard, who was expressionless and couldn't be happier anymore, he sighed secretly.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he thought it was acceptable to lose this game.

For the Magic, if they can win the cup at home as they wish, it will definitely be better for the team.

The boss wants to make money, and one more game will bring more income. The fans also hope to witness the team win the championship at home, and they will not begrudge the ticket money at that time.

After all, they are still in the lead now, and there is still a way out.

But to be able to win directly in this match, one must try hard.

What's more, the point difference is not big now, and there is still time, as long as they can do a good job of defense, it is still very interesting.

So he rallied the players and started giving orders.

But after returning from the timeout, as soon as Li Chengming hit a limit mid-range shot on the Magic's side, Kobe returned a back-up fadeaway jumper.

In the next round, Li Chengming was caught in a double-team and sent the ball to Turkoglu. Turkoglu turned to the bottom corner and Evans missed a three-pointer. Howard grabbed an offensive rebound and missed a second attack. Gasol After receiving the rebound, a pass was launched to launch a fast break. After the point difference was opened to 7 points, the Magic can also say that the general trend is over.

Xu Jicheng looked at the frustrated Magic generals, sighed, and said, "They didn't grasp this last chance, and this seems to be the way it is... In the end, the Magic team still had to choose foul tactics, but Kobe made the free throw firmly, It can be declared that the Lakers have accepted the game!"

 Anyway, in my experience in the NBA, the name Kobe occupies a lot of space, and usually black is black, so I still give him respect at this time.
