Forward to the basket

Chen Feng didn't know what Rivers and Thibodeau were planning. Anyway, the 5 minutes he asked for had already been given, and he didn't plan to be beaten up and down by the opponent at the Lakers' home court.

Phil Jackson is really just as Rivers and Thibodeau estimated. After seeing the Celtics' personnel adjustments, he didn't make any changes, and he still used his starting five.

The "Zen Master" who has been playing in the NBA for so many years has not considered so many things, but he thinks that the team's offense is playing well, and there is really no need to adjust it.

Although there are still 5 minutes left in the second quarter, according to Phil Jackson's character of sitting still, he doesn't mind that the team can open the score during this period and cause some trouble for the opponent.

Now the team's weak lead is not reliable, it is better to let Kobe continue to dominate the process of this game.

Anyway, the team is playing very well now. If Kobe can continue to score so well, it may not be a delusion to defeat the opponent. If they can defeat the Celtics, it will also be a good thing for the Lakers' ranking in the Western Conference.

Phil Jackson didn't react that much to the grievances and resentments between the two teams. After all, he was also messing around in the NBA's acre of three-point land, and he couldn't make a grudge because of the relationship between the teams. .

In fact, it's not just the "Zen Master" who thinks this way. When the coaches of many teams are in office, they seldom have enemies with other teams.

The nba is such a big circle, today you are the head coach of this team, maybe next season you will go to another team, instead of being a personality coach, it is better to fish in troubled waters and be a good old man.

But Phil Jackson really wants to win. After all, this is his second entry into the Lakers team. He won three consecutive championships for the first time. If he leaves here empty-handed for the second time, it will not be a glorious thing after all. Son.

Now the strength of the Lakers team may not be enough to hit the championship, but he is the ace coach who holds nine championship rings, and another defeat like last year's playoffs is always a shame.

"Keep pressure on the opponent on offense, use more breakthroughs to find entry points, and make their defense line chaotic. They replaced three main players. We should make good use of this and try to widen the score gap."

When Phil Jackson was directing on the spot, he didn't talk much, but his arrangements were very direct.

"Kobe, you have to be more determined when you break through. Their defensive strength is declining, and the initiative should be in our hands." At this time, Phil Jackson trusted his trump card more.

In the previous game, Kobe was taking over. After the Celtics changed, Phil Jackson asked his number one killer to play more aggressively, and it is best to continue that momentum.

Kobe also doesn't talk much, he is more used to getting everything done with practical actions, just like what he did just now.

"Open up their defensive space, make more use of breakthroughs, and don't let them have a chance to retreat." Phil Jackson's arrangement is actually not difficult to understand, he just wants to smash the Celtics' defense in one fell swoop.

Anyway, the Celtics still have three substitutes. Although Webb's level is not worse than Jefferson's, but because of his long absence and age, he is no longer the superstar he used to be.

Tony Allen and Szczerbiak are far inferior to Pierce and Sprewell. In the deadlock just now, the Lakers were able to hold down the Celtics. Now there is no reason not to completely overwhelm the opponent's defense.

Although everything on the court is changing rapidly, and Phil Jackson can't decide everything, he is now planning to let Kobe dominate everything, and strive to give the opponent a head-on blow before the end of the second quarter.

Rivers' substitution adjustment seems to be forced, so Phil Jackson intends to use this forced change, and then let the opponent watch his rotation lineup be defeated.

It can be said that Phil Jackson is old enough, he dared to sacrifice a little rest time for the main players in exchange for a continued lead in the score, and even expected to defeat the Celtics' defense in these 5 minutes.

This idea is really good, and the Lakers' offense at the beginning of the game did play as Phil Jackson expected. Kobe's cut after receiving the pass really embarrassed Tony Allen on the defensive end.

In fact, Tony Allen's defensive skills are well-known in the East. Even in the Celtics team, it is second only to the old fritter Sprewell. His defense is not only tough but also very deadly. .

But this time he ran into Kobe, a guy who made Sprewell feel helpless, so as soon as the two collided, Tony Allen was shaken by Kobe's beautiful fake move and lost his center of gravity.

This is an absolute one-on-one matchup. Kobe is hovering near the three-point line with the ball, and Tony Allen has already posted it very tightly. As a result, Kobe crossed the ball, then changed hands and changed directions under his crotch, and suddenly started to accelerate.

It really happened in an instant. Although Kobe's breakthrough was not as fast as Iverson's, this guy's center of gravity change and coordination were indeed very strong, and he had a complete advantage in starting after changing hands.

Tony Allen didn't defend Kobe carelessly, it was just a confrontation of pure personal ability. He really couldn't keep up with the breakthrough of the Lakers' number one killer. He could only watch his opponent pass by.

Unless Tony Allen can make up his mind to give the opponent a shot behind his back, he really can't stop Kobe from cutting in, and even if he wants to foul, it's too late to start at this time.

Webber's horizontal positioning speed is not slow, but Kobe's cut-in speed is faster, lightning-fast, starting from outside the three-point line to this guy entering the three-second zone from a 45-degree angle, it only took three steps.

When Weber's hands were already open, he could no longer block Kobe's shooting angle, not to mention that guy still made an emergency stop jump shot. The moment he cut into the three-second zone, he jumped up and made a steady shot.

"Shua!", with a clear voice, a steady hit, and still able to keep his hands so steady after starting at high speed, Weber has nothing to complain about, he can only shrug his shoulders at Tony Allen to express his helplessness.

And Tony Allen could only spread his hands with a slightly annoyed expression. He tried his best, but for such a natural scoring maniac, he really didn't have a good way. It's really not ordinary difficult to stop the opponent.

"Looking at the current state between Kobe and O'Neal, it's not difficult for me to understand why the Lakers bet their future on this guy. His desire for offense is simply stronger than Michael's."

Rivers watched Kobe complete such a performance, and he had nothing to say. After all, trying to block a scorer of Kobe's level is not a task that can be completed by one person, and Tony Allen's level is not enough.

"If the Lakers can make a few good deals, maybe within a year or two they will be able to return to the power of the three-peat period. Kobe's scoring ability is indeed too strong. I think Tony will be very depressed."

Thibodeau can only express his helplessness for Kobe's single-handed ability. Tony Allen was trained by him. He knows the kid's level very well, so he knows that such a defense will be very difficult.

"I don't expect Kobe to be locked up. When the other guys are there, they must not be allowed to fight!"

Rivers knew that it would be useless to block Kobe's scoring, so he had no intention of blocking Kobe from the beginning, but the other guys, his request was that I must be firmly stepped on!

Tony Allen has nothing to say about the fact that he was broken by Kobe except helplessness. After all, there are not many people in the entire league who can really lock the "black mamba" on the defensive end.

Except for Mr. Bao's black feet and Raja Bell's throat-locking skills, ordinary methods are really ineffective against Kobe. Tony Allen didn't expect to be able to transform himself into a superman wearing underwear immediately.

However, it was the fiery atmosphere of the Staples Arena that was ignited by the opponent so hard once. The on-site DJ seemed to prove how idiot Rivers' substitution was, and began to crazily incite the fans to shout.

"Let's beat Boston! Kick these troublemakers out of Los Angeles!"

This provocative leading slogan is enough to make those big-name stars sitting in the front row start to raise their hands and cheer for the Lakers, not to mention the die-hard fans in the stands.

Is there anything more satisfying than watching your old friend get kicked on the floor?

Anyway, the fans of the Lakers team couldn't think of it. They were all shouting for Kobe's ferocious performance. It's crazy, these guys are yelling at the Celtics bench loudly.

"Damn Bostonians! Go back to your territory! This is no longer the era for you to dominate! Look, we will trample you under your feet! Let you know how it feels to lose the game!"

Faced with such shouts and provocations, Pierce and the others couldn't sit still on the sidelines. If Rivers hadn't signaled them to rest, perhaps these guys would have jumped on the court with high demands and died immediately.

"Trust your teammates, believe that they can handle all this, your task is to rest, use these 5 minutes and the ten minutes of intermission to recover your physical fitness as much as possible, and give me a hard time in the next two quarters. Hit them! Let these guys swallow all the nonsense they yelled out!", Rivers did not respond to those noisy voices, but warned his team members in a low voice.

Victory is not achieved by roaring. Since those Lakers fans like to express their strength in this way, let them roar wantonly. Rivers hopes that they will regret that they were happy so early.

The gap of six points is not too big, but it is enough for Phil Jackson to expect to expand the gap to double digits before the end of the second quarter. It is entirely possible depending on Kobe's fiery touch.

If a double-digit lead can be guaranteed, even if adjustments are made in the next two quarters, Phil Jackson is sure to spend with the Celtics. After all, this is a game at the door of the Lakers.

"Score two more goals and prevent the opponent's attack. Maybe the initiative will be in our hands." Zen master is also thinking about the trend of the game. Although it may not be as he wishes, the situation should be under control .

As long as he can tear apart the opponent's defense and let the scoring momentum continue, Phil Jackson is fully confident that he will lead the Celtics by the nose in this confrontation, and even seal the victory as soon as possible.

At least, Phil Jackson will make Rivers pay a heavy price for his substitution decision, and let the fat guy who has just entered the industry for a few years know that opportunistic decisions are very stupid in front of Zen Master.

However, Phil Jackson’s thinking is not over yet. As soon as the Lakers retreated to the vicinity of their three-point line, they found that the Celtics’ offense suddenly changed, especially Bynum, who was completely stunned. up.

Previously, Rondo had always controlled the ball and advanced, and then used his own pass to tear apart the defense, or used Jefferson and Chen Feng's high-post screens to create opportunities for breakthrough, either scoring the ball from the bottom line, or finding an offensive fulcrum outside the three-point line , or directly use the inside storm to break the Lakers' entanglement on the defensive end.

No matter how you play, Rondo is the starting point. He just chooses how to attack according to the situation on the court. But Kobe just finished scoring and when it was the Celtics' turn to attack, everyone was stunned. .

Rondo didn't control the ball. He even served as a transitional player after serving from the baseline. He passed the ball directly to the three-point line after halftime, and he cut in empty-handed, and slipped past the baseline. up.

"Damn it! What are you doing!?" If Bynum had time to ask, he must really want to ask this guy in front of him, what the hell are you going to do! ?Are you going to be a defender? ?

Not to mention that it was Bynum who wanted to ask this question, most of the people present would have to yell like this, because they all watched helplessly as the guy holding the basketball outside the three-point line turned out to be Chen Feng!

cover?Did he cover it like this?There was no one running around, and he was the only one standing straight outside the three-point line to grab the ball with one hand. The guy lowered his center of gravity, and he didn't seem to be covering at all.

In the first and second quarters, Chen Feng played singles with the ball, but most of the time he was in the three-second zone. He had never set up an attacking stance so far from the basket.

"Open the space?", this was Phil Jackson's first reaction. After all, Webber was on the court. He subconsciously thought that Chen Feng was creating scoring opportunities for Weber, and deliberately dragged Bynum out of the basket.

It is estimated that there are not a few people who have this idea. Even if Chen Feng's actions don't look like he is going to pass the ball, most people think that this kid is feinting a shot to create a scoring opportunity for the inside.

Only Hammond, who was watching the game in Boston, said to Tarkanian, "Believe me, Jerry, no matter what you see next, don't be surprised, because I already smell the boy's madness."

"You don't mean to tell me...that kid is planning to fight like this?" Although Tarkanian and Chen Feng spent all day together, most of the time he still couldn't guess how ruthless that kid was.

"You can tell by looking at it. All I can say is that the big man opposite him is definitely in trouble now."

Hammond is definitely full of sympathy when he sees Bynum's expression now, because this old ruffian on the streets of New York knows very well what Chen Feng is going to do, and that kid is definitely not just going crazy.

Pass?cover?Bynum had no way of knowing what others thought of the confrontation between him and Feng Chen. Anyway, when his mind was still thinking about what Chen Feng was going to do, the guy on the other side had already moved!

pass?Pass it on to your sister!Chen Feng lowered his body to attack. Even if Weber could get stuck in his position at this time, he would never pass the basketball out of his hand. This was because he had greeted Rondo before serving.

If Rivers can let him dominate the offense for these few minutes, then it will be more thorough. Chen Feng doesn't want to waste such an opportunity, even if it makes others see him as a bit arbitrary, it doesn't matter.

When you are fighting bullfights with others on the street, you absolutely don’t need to think about too many issues. The most practical thing is to push the basketball into the basket. Even if you don’t trust your teammates enough, it will not prevent you from rewriting the score.

Most of the people who came out of the street were lone wolves, like Marbury, like Iverson. Similarly, Hammond was able to score points with "Dr. J" Irving because he was so super strong and sturdy. Reasonable scoring ability, Chen Feng was able to sweep all the courts in Texas, not only because of his brute force.

"Damn, I don't want to really crawl back here, so, just get the hell out of here!"

Kobe's super scoring ability not only aroused the fierce counterattack of the Lakers, but also activated the fierceness hidden in the heart of a wild boy. Chen Feng really gave a shocking performance.

Few people thought about what a guy who was fighting on the inside could suddenly get to the outside, but everyone present quickly understood what kind of impact such a move could bring.

When Chen Feng lowered his body and kicked on the ground suddenly to start it, some people even wondered if they had misread it, damn it!It's almost like a guard is playing singles with the ball, and it starts outside the three-point line!

Bynum's physique can be regarded as a burly man in the NBA, but he was squeezed out of the position by that powerful force when Chen Feng started holding the ball. It was almost a face-to-face effort. In the past, that fierce impact almost caused Bynum's chest to suffer a heavy blow.

Resist!It was a crushing breakthrough. Although Chen Feng's speed couldn't compare with those lightning-fast defenders, Bynum's lateral movement was more strenuous, while Chen Feng's impact was more powerful.

It was just one step ahead, enough for Chen Feng to burst out all the strength of his whole body, and he just broke through Bynum's block in the face-to-face breakthrough, and the whole connection process was like a gust of wind.

Passing by like the wind is the patent of the front and back swingers, but when you are facing a hurricane, I am afraid that everyone will forget to close their mouths and watch this murderous scene suddenly erupt in dumbfounded.

The originally solid defense collapsed at this moment. A frenzied knife just split a gap from the middle, piercing the heart of the Lakers...
