Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 265 The finals are about to begin, put away your damn pick-and-roll!
"We are back on the stage of the finals, just to continue the legend!"

After the Lakers won the Western Conference Finals and successfully advanced to the Finals, Kobe showed a lot of confidence in winning the championship in front of media reporters.

The Spurs are obviously not underdogs if they can advance to the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers were able to defeat the Mavericks, the No. 4 team in the Western Conference, in the Western Conference semifinals. In the Western Conference finals, they swept the Spurs, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, [-]-[-].

This shows that the strength of the Lakers this season is indeed extraordinary.

Although the opponent in the finals, the defending champion Chicago Bulls, performed very easily during the promotion process in the Eastern Conference.

However, Kobe believes that in the finals, they will have a way to defeat their opponents!
Moreover, Kobe has never had the habit of admitting defeat before the game starts.

Even if his hand feels worse, even if he misses more than ten shots in a row, even if he loses the game while undercover, Kobe will do his best to try to seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

What's more, this time the opponent is the team led by former teammate Du En.

Duane and O'Neal have each won a championship, but Kobe, who stayed with the Lakers, has not.

After finally reaching the finals, I am about to stand on the stage of the finals, and I have strong enough teammates around me.

This time, Kobe has no reason not to win the championship trophy and FMVP trophy that belongs to him!
“We are the defending champions and I represent my team and accept the challenge from any team!

But I must emphasize that so far, my winning rate in the finals is 100%!

I already have two championships, two Eastern Conference championships, and one Western Conference championship! "

After Kobe Bryant challenged the Bulls on behalf of the Lakers, Dunn quickly gave the answer that the media and fans wanted when accepting reporters.

As Kobe and Duane talked through the media, the attention of this year's finals instantly increased.

And because the Bulls and Lakers are teams from Chicago and Los Angeles respectively, the media in the cities behind the two teams also started a public opinion war in advance, further expanding the influence of this NBA Finals.

Many old fans said that the popularity of this year's finals made them feel like they were back in the 90s. Walking in the streets, they could hear people talking about the upcoming finals anytime and anywhere.

League officials are also looking forward to the upcoming finals.

They also want to know how much ratings this year's finals will have and how much profit it will bring them.

Time flies to the evening of June 6th, at the United Center in Chicago, where the NBA 5-06 season finals begins.

At the beginning of the game, Gasol helped the Lakers get the ball.

The Bulls launched a full-court press, and Duan took the initiative to lead the defense on Kobe and increase the consumption of Kobe.

Duen knew that Kobe was not someone who liked to avoid battles. When Duen took the initiative to defend Kobe, Kobe, who was almost paranoid in his desire to win, would definitely choose to fight head-on.

Duan liked Kobe's words very much - put away your damn pick-and-roll!

Anyone who knows a little bit about penalty kicks knows that the scoring efficiency is definitely higher in pick-and-rolls than in singles. Pick-and-rolls are a smart way to play.

And as long as Kobe doesn't play smart enough, he may hurt the team.

Duane hopes that in this way, he will force Kobe to play more one-on-one games with stars. He hopes that Kobe's paranoid desire to win can destroy the Lakers' offensive system.

However, what is a bit surprising is that Hinrich dribbled the ball past half court, but Kobe was indifferent to Duan and did not ask Hinrich for the ball.

Hinrich, with the help of Gasol, broke directly to the basket and scored a layup, helping the Lakers take the lead and score the first 2 points.

It can only be said that at the beginning of the game, the Bulls were still a little relaxed.

Baron Davis did not follow Hinrich closely, and the Bulls' front line did not make up the defense in time. When Hinrich got to the basket, Tyson Chandler was too late to make up the ball.Fortunately, the Bulls are not particularly good at assisting defense. The reason they have been able to win in the past two seasons is that their offensive ability is far better than other teams.

After the Bulls got the ball, Duan quickly came to the frontcourt, reached for the ball and shouted to his teammates: "I want to play in isolation, please pull away!"

When Kobe heard what Du En said, he quickly took precautions.

Even if he can't get started, he is still very aggressive.

In this regard, Du En played relatively concisely, directly trying to shake off Kobe's center of gravity with continuous tentative steps. After all, Kobe was a bit shorter than Du En, so Du En immediately took action after slightly shifting Kobe's center of gravity.

Kobe reacted and stood up to block the shot, but Duan shot the ball first.

When Kobe turned around to check the situation, he saw the basketball hit the net hollowly.

Immediately afterwards, water splashed around his ears.

2 to 3, Duan's strong singles ignited the fighting spirit in Kobe's heart.

Kobe was originally a volcano, but now that Duan started provoking him as soon as he came up, Kobe couldn't bear it and ignited him directly.

As the Lakers served the ball quickly and were blocked by the Bulls on the fast break, they could only choose to play a positional battle.

As the team leader, Kobe also began to reach out to Hinrich for the ball.

As a point guard, Hinrich does not have such a strong desire to score.

In the past three years of working with Kobe, I have had a pretty good time playing together, and I quite recognize Kobe's strength.

In particular, in the last round of the series against the Spurs, the Lakers were able to win so easily because Kobe beat the Spurs' perimeter on both offense and defense.

Therefore, Hinrich also has a filter for Kobe in his eyes. He feels that Kobe is very strong. As long as Kobe gets the ball, he will definitely be able to score.

Of course, whoever gets the ball can score.But after one game, whether the final score is 8 points or 81 points depends on the individual.

Kobe's scoring ability is absolutely no problem, but he likes to shoot difficult balls, which is a problem.

Tonight, it was Duane who was guarding Kobe Bryant, the Bulls' best perimeter defender.

Kobe Bryant forced a one-on-one matchup with Duane, which naturally resulted in no good results.

As Kobe entered the mode of four-back and three-iron, the Bulls naturally took the upper hand in the game.

However, the Bulls could not widen the point difference all of a sudden.

Because the Lakers players all seemed to be Kohei, whenever Kobe beat Duane in isolation, every one of them was ready to grab rebounds.

Obviously, the Lakers, as the challenger tonight, are the more active side.

The Bulls did not do a good job in protecting rebounds.

The Lakers relied on grabbing more offensive rebounds and relying on second attacks to score many points at the basket.

However, for the Bulls, this is not a particularly urgent matter.

After all, the Bulls' bench is much stronger than the Lakers'!
No matter how energetic Kobe is, he can't play a full 48 minutes in a game without taking a break.

This means that as long as the Bulls don't lag behind their opponents in the starting lineup, they can basically win the game!
Not to mention, when some of the Lakers' main players come off the court, there is a high probability that Duane will return to the court and lead the Bulls' second team to open up the score.
