NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start
192. Black Mamba Dance, Kobe Bryant fights the Celtics Big Three! (Subscribe~)
With three minutes left in the first quarter, Bryant came up to receive Fisher's pass and took the ball directly to the three-point line.
Responsible for defending him, is the Celtics starting point guard - Rondo.
Don't look at this as an ordinary regular season, but the defensive intensity and determination of the Celtics and Lakers showed no difference from last season's finals.
Even in terms of player rotation and playing time, it has reached an unprecedented height.
Phil Jackson knew that this game was very important, and Lin Lei was not there, so in the first quarter, apart from two timeouts, he simply didn't give Kobe a break.
After all, Kobe was already so far behind when he was on the court. If he went off the court, the first quarter of the game was likely to collapse.
The Celtics head coach Rivers is also adaptable. Seeing that Kobe has never ended, he also left all his team's perimeter members on the court, including Rondo, Ray Allen and Pierce. Strong perimeter turns to defend Kobe Bryant.
No matter how strong Kobe is, it is naturally difficult to play in a 1-on-3 situation. Seeing Kobe on the stage again, Rivers also had a smile on his face.
"Phil Jackson, I see how long Kobe can last, I will definitely win this game!"
However, this kind of schadenfreude of Rivers has not lasted for too long, and Kobe has already completed the confrontation with Rondo.
I saw that he feinted quickly with the ball, and also used Lin Lei's often-used dribbling in his footsteps.
This gorgeous change of direction, as well as the increase in speed, was rarely used by Kobe before.
Especially with the improvement of his age, he will basically complete the score by taking a step back and making an emergency stop.
But Kobe is such a man who refuses to admit defeat. Whenever he sees someone stronger than himself, he always learns from the other side.
In the past few months as teammates with Lin Lei, Kobe not only taught Lin Lei his best offensive skills, but also learned the most exquisite direction changing skills with Lin Lei.
The direction-changing technique, which Kobe has practiced for so many years, has never reached the height of Iverson's peak period. Under Lin Lei's words and deeds, he has also made rapid progress, but more requires hard work.
Therefore, after the team's training, Kobe Bryant will choose to practice on his own, and he has finally achieved certain achievements in the past few months.
The Celtics did not expect that Kobe Bryant would suddenly use such a move.
Taking advantage of their unrelenting effort, Kobe has successfully reached the inside line. He jumped high, faced Garnett's head, and smashed the ball directly into the basket!
This dunk can be described as powerful, and even Garnett was dunked by him.
After falling from the basket, Kobe didn't show any expression. Instead, he glanced at the big screen above his head and shook his fingers.
This is an intuitive provocation, and he is sending back his championship soul to all the Celtics fans in the field, and the entire team!
Kobe is 33 years old this year, but the way he played just now was 20 years old, just like when he first entered the league, full of energy.
With Kobe Bryant's successful attack this time, the Lakers also officially launched the counterattack.
The next round, the Celtics inside Garnett wanted to layup, but was successfully defended by Gasol.
After Odom grabbed the defensive rebound, he threw a long pass to Kobe Bryant who had already crossed the half court.
And responsible for defending Bryant is the Celtics shooting guard, Ray Allen.
Ray Allen is not only famous for his one-handed three-pointer, he was also a star player with very explosive physical fitness in the early years, and even won the championship of the slam dunk contest.
It's just that in recent years, as he got older, he gradually changed his style of play and began to lean towards the outside line, but it did not mean that his physical quality had declined.
At least on defense, Ray Allen is still very skillful.
As early as when Garnett missed the attack, Ray Allen had returned to his half court for the first time to prepare for defense. When Kobe came to the three-point line, he had already assumed a defensive posture.
"Come on, this time I will never let you pass me by again!
As Ray Allen spoke, his eyes were also very determined.
However, Kobe did not reply, but used his actions to teach Ray Allen a good lesson.
He went straight to the three-point line and made a jumper in front of Ray Allen!
"what!"
Ray Allen didn't expect Kobe Bryant to dare to force the shot, and he also took off.
So there was a repeat of the scene just now, this time he also caused a defensive foul on Kobe, and Kobe scored a three-pointer.
With the free throws scored, in the blink of an eye, Kobe scored 6 points, and the score on the field came to 24:18. The Lakers were only 6 points behind.
"damn it!"
During Bryant's free throw period, Ray Allen's expression was also a little frustrated, after all, the jump shot from beyond the three-point line was his best way.
Now, let Kobe Bryant in front of him and complete the score with his favorite scoring method, which is a shame for Ray Allen, and it is also unacceptable to him.
Seeing this, the others quickly encouraged Ray Allen to come up. The Celtics' big three play style is very mature. For the opponent, it is not only a tactical, but also a kind of psychological support.
With the encouragement to me, Ray Allen quickly adjusted his state. Although Kobe Bryant made consecutive shots, he was only one person. On the other hand, the Celtics started five tigers, and they all had independent attacks. Ability, firepower is obviously stronger than the Lakers.
By the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides came to 28:21, and the Celtics were still leading by 7 points.
But the core Kobe Bryant on the Lakers side was already out of breath, and when he sat on the bench in the backup department, he was so tired that he didn't even want to get up again.
Seeing this picture, Phil Jackson was also anxious in his heart, but as the head coach he naturally couldn't reveal anything, otherwise the whole team would be shaken.
"Kobe, don't play in the second quarter, take a break!"
After some tangled thoughts, Phil 5.9 Jackson finally decided to put Kobe on the court and take a good rest first.
This is also no way to do it. If Kobe Bryant continues to appear in the second quarter, maybe the score can stabilize the score, and the difference will not be too big.
But Lin Lei did not come back. If Kobe Bryant was injured again because of excessive fatigue, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Lakers.
Although this game is the focus of the battle, neither side wants to lose, and the intensity of the finals is played, but he is only a regular season in the end, and he cannot put his core at risk because of a regular season win or loss situation.
Kobe Bryant was naturally very clear about Phil Jackson's thoughts, so he didn't refute it, but he was still very unwilling in his heart.
While replacing Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson also made a bolder decision.
"Section 2, we play tall tactics!"
