NBA: Opening Fusion Demon God Pangu

Chapter 196: Iverson shook Kobe Bryant, and Jiang Pankong caught Ao Fat!!!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the AJ combination was still left on the court, and the Lakers’ OK combination also did not rest.

“It seems that these two pairs are going to play the first half of the game!”

“Judging from the performance in the first quarter, it is clear that the AJ combination is stronger.”

“Shaquille didn’t stand out in the first quarter, and when Jiang kept scoring in front of him, he couldn’t respond in time.”

“If the Philadelphia 76ers can finally win the championship this season, then Jiang may be justified in coming from Shaquille O’Neal as the league’s No. 1 center.”

At the commentary table, Kenny Smith once again gave high appreciation to Jiangpan.

“I love to hear this, in fact, long after the Christmas War, Jiang was the number one center in the league.”

“It’s just that there are still some of Shaquille’s die-hard fans ~ I don’t want to admit it.”

“These fans even say that the Christmas game was Shaquille’s deliberate release of water to preserve strength, which is simply ridiculous.”

“Now it’s the finals, Shaquille still hasn’t improved at all, this is not to retain strength, it’s really inferior to Jiang.”

“Now those die-hard fans must admit that the time of belonging to Shaquille is over.”

Barkley and O’Neill have always been in a state of seemingly hostility, and now the appearance of Jiangpan has completely suppressed O’Neill, which makes Barkley feel very comfortable!

On the court, the game was particularly intense.

Jiang Pan is still very strong on the inside, and Allen Iverson is also beginning to show his excellent scoring ability.

On the Lakers’ side, Kobe is still their core offensive point, but some other role players are also involved in the offense.

The Philadelphia 76ers play more like the heroism of AJ’s combination, while the Lakers play as a team.

Although Larry Bulang has won the title of the league’s best coach for two consecutive years, in terms of coaching ability, “Zen Master” Phil Jackson is no worse than him.

This period of time is the best proof of this, and the Lakers have been using the triangle offense that they do best.

This style of play helped the Bulls win two three-in-a-row championships, and the Lakers have won two consecutive championships.

If the correct historical trajectory is followed, the Lakers will still win the championship this season, which shows how practical this tactic is.

Of course, the premise is that the players are also good enough to complement each other and maximize the power of the triangle attacking tactics.

The second quarter of the game was particularly anxious, and even Jiang Pan felt a little surprised.

Compared to the two games in the regular season, the Lakers played significantly better in this game, and it seems that they did retain some strength in the regular season.

A few minutes later, the second quarter ended with Kobe’s picturesque back-up jumper hitting the whistle.

58：68

After the first half, the Philadelphia 76ers led by just 10 points.

That is, throughout the second quarter, they scored only 2 more points than the Lakers.

So far in the playoffs, this is the fewest points scored by the Philadelphia 76ers in a single quarter.

Throughout the first half of the game, Jiang Pan’s performance was remarkable, he cut 35 points, 15 rebounds, 6 blocks, and burst the “big shark” O’Neal who was in the position with him.

Kobe Bryant scored 25 points and 6 assists in the half, and he embodied the spirit of Mamba to the fullest!

At half-time, players from both sides returned to the backstage dressing room. At this time, in the changing room of the away team.

The Lakers players relaxed their muscles while listening to Phil Jackson’s deployment for the second half.

“Guys, listen, we’re 10 points behind now, and it’s not really a big difference.”

‘We played very well in the second quarter, almost tied them in a single quarter, and I believe we could have done a little better and had a chance to overcome.

“Their biggest reliance is Jiang’s inside attack, so after the start of the second half, we have to wrap him up.”

“As for AI, although he is also very capable of scoring, his stability is a little worse than Jiang’s, so Kobe Bryant has no problem defending him alone.”

And on the other side, in the dressing room of the home team.

“The Lakers were able to bite the score because they had Kobe.”

“Bryant is very hot on the outside today, and we have to limit his scoring if we want to open the point difference.”

Speaking of this, Larry Broan glanced at Artest.

After a season of running-in, he no longer needed to say anything, just a look, Artest already knew his intentions.

“Understood!”

“Coach, don’t worry!”

“Bruce and I will definitely make him comfortable!”

Saying that, Artest squeezed his fist, and it looked like he was going to fight.

“Pay attention to the proportions, and if you are sent off, it will not be worth the loss.”

Larry Bulang reminded.

For fans, the fifteen-minute intermission was undoubtedly the longest wait.

However, for players, this is the best time to rest, and even feels a little less, especially for veterans.

Moments later, the intermission ended and the second half began, with the Lakers launching their first offense.

‘Old Fish’ Fisher took the ball through the halftime and handed it directly to Kobe’s hands.

Bryant immediately planned to break through after receiving the ball, but at the moment he started, Artest decisively abandoned his defense object and immediately ran over to wrap him.

Kobe never expected that the other party would be so decisive with him that he missed the best time to pass.

What’s more, the one who came to wrap him up was Ron Artest.

This is probably the strongest outside double bag in the world today, and both of them have strong single defense capabilities.

Just against Bowen alone, Kobe Bryant played very hard, not to mention the two together.

Artest’s movements were still very large, and when his arm was raised, he gave Kobe a brain shot.

Kobe Bryant was bitter inside, and under the bag, he didn’t even have a chance to pass, and finally he could only force a backward jumper.

“Bang!”

The crisp sound of hitting iron sounded, and Kobe’s shooting encountered a strong interference, even if he felt good, it was difficult to throw the ball in.

Under the basket, Jiang Pan stuck O’Neal behind him and easily protected the backcourt rebound.

Iverson advanced with the ball and singled Kobe Bryant one-on-one from outside the three-point line.

Kobe Bryant showed his best defensive attitude with open arms, don’t forget that he is also a top defender on the outside and has an absolute height advantage against Iverson.

However, Iverson was not afraid, and in the face of Kobe’s strong defense, he directly made his signature passing move ‘crossover’!

Kobe’s footsteps did not follow for a while, and he was actually shaken to the ground!

Iverson did not greedy for merit, but chose to assist Jiang Pan and hit O’Neill with an empty catch.

Philadelphia 76ers showtime officially opens!
