NBA: I coach Kobe

On the evening of April 28, 2013, at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles (home of the Clippers), Game 4 of the 2012-2013 NBA Playoffs in the West will begin in 20 minutes.

Now the Lakers lead the Clippers 3-0, and the Clippers have reached the edge of the cliff, their lives hang in the balance, whether to continue down or go home depends on the victory or defeat of this game.

The Clippers were also the only team likely to be swept 4-0 in the first round of the West, with the others winning more or less one or two games.

Before the start of the game, the players of both teams were warming up, compared to the more relaxed demeanor of the Lakers, and the players on the Clippers side were expressionless, as if they were holding their breath.

Part of the reason is that they don’t want to be swept 4-0, which would be too lost, and another reason is that many of them are angered by the remarks they made in the press conference after the last game, which also turned into the Clippers who had already been subdued to hold their breath and want to play the Lakers in Game 4.

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neill once again became commentators for the match, and before the game even started, the two began to chat in various ways.

And Charles Barkley’s old partner Kenny Smith is still not well.

“We all know that at the press conference after the last game, Lin Li can be said to be very arrogant, although I like his arrogant look, but maybe it is these words that make today’s Lakers’ game may not be so big.” Shaquille O’Neill picked up the topic first.

“Yes, the Clippers are likely to fight back today, but many people say that Lin Li is arrogant, but I don’t think so, you must know that one of them is fourth in the West and one is fifth in the West, and the two teams are far from the ranking, but the front lost so powerlessly, 0:3 reversal in NBA history is rare, so Lin Li said these words, it is reasonable.” Charles Barkley defended Lin Li and said.

Shaquille O’Neal continued: “Either way, the Clippers have star players like Paul and Griffin, who have the ability to change the game! ”

“I admit they have the ability to change the game, but when facing the Lakers, they are obviously a little uncomfortable, and there are Big Four opposites!” Charles Barkley is clearly not bullish on the Clippers.

“But this game is going to be wonderful, let’s wait and see, who will win this game?”

The game was about to begin, and Shaquille O’Neill and Charles Barkley began to introduce the lineups of both sides.

“On the Lakers’ side, the starting five are point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Ci Shiping, power forward Paul Gasol, and center Howard.”

“I have to say that the Lakers’ lineup is really gorgeous!”

“On the Clippers’ side, point guard Chris Paul, shooting guard Karon Butler, small forward Matt Barnes, power forward Griffin, center Jordan Jr.”

“The core players on both sides will be on the field and the game is about to start!”

Jumping ball, although Jordan Jr.’s bouncing ability is good, the bounce speed is too touching, and there is no backhand in the face of Howard.

Howard jumped to the basketball with ease.

Steve Nash took the ball and Game 4 of the first round of the West officially kicked off at the home of the Clippers.

The two sides landed at half-time, and Lin Li immediately made a tactical gesture on the sidelines.

It’s not for the twin towers to fight, and it’s not a high-level blocking tactic.

It’s a new tactic!

This tactic was not obtained by Lin Li’s lottery, but a tactic developed by Lin Li himself.

In the Lakers’ offense this time, Howard did not squeeze inside as before, but stood near the free throw line with Gasol to cover Kobe.

Horn tactics!

The Clippers are also a little uncomfortable with the Lakers’ sudden tactics, giving Kobe a good space, after the two inside lines did cover, before going inside, Kobe Bryant had used his accurate mid-range shooting to end this offense.

“After Kobe bypassed the cover, a mid-range shot, hollow into the frame, very easy! This is a tactic that has not been used before, but this time it has been effective! Although Lin Li made everyone think that he was arrogant, he actually worked hard! ”

Charles Barkley praised Lin Li.

The Lakers scored as soon as they started, and then did not slack off and immediately returned to defense quickly.

Chris Paul observed the Lakers’ defense with the ball on the outside, wanting to find an opportunity, and then did not have the slightest intention of passing the ball directly with the ball to break through, broke through Steve Nash’s defense, made a high throw in front of Howard, and successfully scored.

After the goal, Chris Paul hammered his chest, cheering himself up, and also cheering up his teammates.

Clippers fans at the scene were also cheering on their teams with their own shouts.

In turn, the Lakers’ offense.

Kobe and Howard at the three-point line, suddenly changed a high blocking tactic, completed a beautiful combination, the two directly attracted the defense of all Clippers players, suddenly made Paul Gasol under the basket have an easy opportunity to score.

Paul Gasol scored with a dunk that wasn’t very big.

The Clippers’ offense, Chris Paul, who had just scored, was full of confidence, this time he still chose to come by himself, rushed inside, faced Howard, a jumper with a quick stop, the ball came out of the basket, and Gasol easily collected the rebound.

Then the Lakers immediately launched a fast attack.

After receiving the ball from Howard to himself, Nash immediately raised his speed to the highest level.

He and Bryant need to face the Clippers’ three-man defense.

Two people cut in from different directions.

After making sure he attracted the opposing defense, Nash passed the ball to Kobe.

At this time, the players who returned to defense did not have time to turn around and defend Kobe.

Bryant hit the ball with an easy layup.

6：2！

The Clippers seemed to be trailing at the beginning of the game as they had in the previous three games, and in everyone’s opinion, the Clippers were expected to lose the game as before.

You must know that after Lin Li coached the Lakers, there was only a reversal and never been reversed by others, which means that as long as the Lakers can gain an advantage in the early stage, then it is almost 100% winning.

De Nagro on the sidelines couldn’t sit still, standing up and pacing back and forth, he touched his chin, as if thinking about something.
