Before Stephen got off the basket, the Lakers called a timeout. Although the SuperSonics only led by one point, the change from leading to falling behind represented that the game had gone in another direction.

Sometimes the game is like this, maybe some fans think how difficult it was for the Sonics to catch up just now, and the Lakers seem to be able to control the game with ease, just because of a round of negligence , was overtaken by the Sonics by one point.

However, many professionals can see that the Lakers have been chased by the opponent very hard. They barely supported it until now, and finally they can't continue. , but in essence it was in a confrontation, and the Lakers represented by Kobe finally lost.

Phil Jackson called a timeout very decisively. He didn't arrange any tactics, but let the players on the field sit down and have a good rest. Especially for a player like Kobe, as long as he is allowed to take a breath, he can play his best. Different combat power comes.

At the same time, let the players not panic. You must know that the game has reached this point. Not only is one side exhausted to death, but the other side must also be exhausted. Now it depends on who has the stronger will and is more eager to win, and whoever can win the final victory.

What Phil Jackson said sounds simple, and he didn't say it to all the players. Some players are useless no matter what they say, but some players say every word to their hearts.

For example, among the five people on the field, Odom was habitually distracted again, sitting there looking like he was in a trance, but in Phil Jackson's view, it was not a bad thing, because according to his opinion of Odom I understand that it's a good thing to be on the field if you lose your mind at this time.

But Kwame Brown is sitting there with a towel covering his head, his head is lowered between his legs. This is a very lack of confidence. Kwame Brown has the body needed by a great player and has a good player. The technology needed, but God only gave him the heart of a weak person jokingly. I don’t know if this is a tease of him, or this body should not belong to him in the first place.

A player without self-confidence and strong will has no future in this highly confrontational sport. Phil Jackson once hoped to use his own ability to help the opponent find confidence. The inside lineup formed by Odom will not suffer against any strong inside team in the league. It is a pity that even he can't change his personality.

As a player, he is afraid of others passing the ball to him. I don’t know if he met Jordan first and then became teammates with Kobe. Is it a great bad luck for him? Maybe it’s better for him to go to another team.

Luke Wharton was arranging his hair, and at the same time, his eyes were still peeking at a handsome woman in the VIP seat. At this time, with this thought, he looked like a useless player. With such a lineup and wanting to attack the championship, Phil Jackson despised Bass Jr. in his heart.

Among the starters, only Derek Fisher is still qualified, but he is old after all. Although the decline in state is not obvious, he was not a strong player when he was young, let alone now.

Ariza sitting on the bench is not bad, but his ability and strength are still a bit behind Phil Jackson's requirements. It would be great if he and Luke Walton could be combined together. His defense and game attitude Coupled with Luke Walton's offense and passing, it is a weakened version of Scottie Pippen.

After the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the court. Just now, because Kobe was on the court, he was like a dragon and a tiger. He held the ball and launched an attack on the Sonics' defense. However, after the rest, Stephen's energy was also restored, and he kept on Follow him closely so that he can't find a chance to make a move.

Stephen pays great attention to Kobe's mid-range jumper. Although Kobe has a variety of scoring methods, it can be said that he is extremely proficient in the offense that a shooting guard should have, but his mid-range jumper is the most lethal.

Whether it is on the left or the right, Kobe's jump shot is very lethal. It seems very simple to jump up and shoot, but Kobe relied on his grasp of the timing of the attack and the subtle adjustment of his body to find the only one. The slightest chance of attacking the ball and throwing the ball.

And what Stephen needs to guard against is his point. Whether he wants to shoot from outside the three-point line or wants to hit the basket, Stephen can relax a little bit on him, but he just doesn't let him shoot from the mid-range position.

This is his best weapon, and Stephen wants to limit him in this aspect. It stands to reason that the success rate of shots under the basket is higher, and the efficiency of chasing three-pointers is higher, but Stephen just let him go. .

When the first three-point shot opportunity appeared, Kobe resolutely let it go. The three-point shooting percentage was too low. At this critical moment, it is not suitable to use three-pointers as an offensive method, and Stephen is forcing him to go to the basket. When walking down, Kobe didn't follow suit, but reached out to Odom for a cover.

Odom's screen didn't work. Stephen saw through and bypassed Odom in advance, and continued to chase after Kobe. Kobe had no choice but to pass the ball to Fisher, and then went around Fisher. While passing, get the ball from Fisher.

Fisher blocked Stephen for Kobe. Facing Ridnour, Kobe acted as if he hadn't seen him. He jumped up and shot directly in front of him. This was a two-pointer standing on the three-point line. The Lakers The score was overtaken again.

After returning, Stephen took the ball from Ridnour's hands early, and then went straight to the basket without stopping. Kobe didn't want to waste his energy and get entangled with him, but he couldn't just watch Stephen score , had no choice but to try to stop Stephen's footsteps while letting Odom come out to help defend.

If Stephen passes the ball to the inside at this time, Wilcox can catch the ball and shoot. Although his offensive ability is not too strong, there should be no problem with this kind of mid-air basket shooting, but Stephen did not. In doing so, he turned around and killed from the basket again.

Kobe had no choice but to continue to follow Stephen and ran beyond the three-point line. Who knew that Stephen turned back and went to the basket, and the speed was very fast. Kobe had just caught up with Stephen, and Stephen made an emergency stop. After coming down, Stephen started his steps again.

This kind of forced change of rhythm can't get rid of Kobe's defense, but it can greatly consume Kobe's physical strength. After three times, Kobe finally chased less tightly, and Stephen scored with a very ordinary jumper at the basket.

"Why didn't you chase just now, are you tired?" Stephen asked suddenly as the two walked forward side by side.

"Really, one victory is nothing, let's see next time." Kobe was stunned for a moment. Although he is also a master of trash talking in the league, when he faced Stephen, he did not use this weapon against Stephen. Of course, It was also because he knew that Stephen didn't like this, but now that Stephen took the initiative to speak, he couldn't help but speak.

"There is an old saying in China that old age does not rely on muscles and bones. At your age, you should take it easy when playing and don't work too hard." Stephen's tone seemed to be concerned about Kobe, but Kobe was choked up , I am not yet 30 years old, how can I be called old, this is the golden age of a player, okay?

"You don't need to worry." Kobe said, and after receiving the ball from Fisher, he leaned hard on Stephen, took advantage of the strength of the rebound, leaned his body, raised his hand at the same time, and threw the ball to the basket frame.

Stephen gritted his teeth in remorse. He never thought that talking to the other party would not distract the other party's mind, but would distract him from being scored by the other party with such a simple method. But in retrospect, Stephen backed up and made Kobe's foul, which is also considered a foul. Take revenge.

When Stephen made a free throw, Phil Jackson finally couldn't bear Luke Walton's mediocrity on the court, and replaced Luke Walton with Ariza. In fact, Luke Walton's passing ability can make him very good on the court. Playing the role of the ball forward in the triangle tactics, but at this time, Kobe is playing the ball alone, and he has not actively participated in it.

While replacing Ariza, Phil Jackson also instructed Kobe to switch defensive targets with Ariza, and Ariza would defend Stephen. Better than Kobe.

But after Ariza came up, he paid too much attention to defending Stephen's breakthrough, and ignored Stephen's three-point line, because Stephen rarely shot outside the three-point line in this half quarter. Fake a shot.

But this fake move was very fake, and it was a fake move at first glance. Arizafi didn't stick it, but stepped back half a step. Stephen adjusted it unceremoniously and threw the ball in.

This led the Lakers by two points at once. Kobe came back and missed a shot. Wilcox got the rebound, but Ariza snatched it back during the pass, but as soon as he turned around, It was taken away by Coupard again.

When Coupard passed the ball to Ridnour, he was interrupted by Kobe jumping up and landed on the floor. Both Ridnour and Fisher rushed over to grab the ball, but they knocked the ball out of the sideline. The referee passed by Watching the replay, it was determined that Fisher had touched the ball and awarded the ball to the Sonics.

After attracting the defenses of Kobe and Ariza, Stephen passed the ball to Durant. Durant made an easy shot and widened the point difference to four points. Then the Sonics never gave the Lakers a chase With the closest opportunity, he kept the lead until the end of the game.
