MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 218 If you knew who you lost to, you wouldn't be so reconciled...
Falling in love with you Kanshu, basketball: starting from the nerve knife
After Li Wan got Artest, Mike Brown boldly approached Artest after hearing the news, told him about his next adjustments, and then emphasized: "That guy, Deron -Williams to you?"
Artest waved his hand with confidence on his face:
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
I can't guard Kobe, the "top horse", and I can't guard Deron, the "medium horse"?
When Mike Brown saw that Artest agreed so happily, he also looked surprised. He really wanted to know what Li Wan said to Artest.
Obviously in the first game, this guy still looked like he wanted to "bleed rivers and fight to the end" with Kobe.
How come so soon...
relieved?
Li Wan: No one else, only sincere ears!
On June 5, the second round of the finals came as scheduled.
Madison Square will be agitated tonight.
All New Yorkers have not sat down for a second since they entered the scene. Everyone was excited, and the entire venue was also surging with a "sea of white clouds", extremely restless.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the game time officially arrived.
The Knicks' starting lineup has not been adjusted, and neither has the Lakers' starting lineup.
Pau Gasol once again grabbed the initiative for the Lakers.
Deron Williams took the ball to the front court, and Artest defended him as soon as he passed halftime, with a look of eagerness:
Come on, medium horse, let me show you how powerful a high-grade horse is!
Deron - Williams where can stand such an expression.
First, I played one with the ball, trying to squeeze Artest away through the rhythm of the dribble, but Artest didn't talk to him about the rhythm at all...
Just talk about physical confrontation!
Where has Deron encountered such a wild defense in the first position?
No, aren't you afraid of my fake moves?
At that time, he felt that his confrontation was only against the tank in the first position, and he really had no advantage in the third position!
As for Artest, he's feeling right now...
There is also a "turtle" in the first position!
This speed, are you sure it is number one?
Pau Gasol had to mention the top of the arc to cover the three-point line, but in this way, Artest had enough time to re-circle in front of Deron.
"Boom!"
Deron forced a throw and missed.
Pau Gasol was pulled to the outside, and only Bynum was against Yao on the inside. Li Wan rushed out from the side and protected the rebound in his hands.
No need to defend Delong anymore, Li Wan has extra energy, which can be used in other places, such as...
On the matter of rushing and grabbing rebounds.
Quickly launch a counterattack.
4 against 4 in the frontcourt!
Li Wan dribbled the ball continuously to mobilize Deron Williams' body balance, and then easily completed a breakthrough. Ray Allen rushed over from the side. Li Wan hooked his hands and sent the ball. A fake pass tricked Kobe from him After flying past his eyes, Li Wan no longer hesitated, jumped high, kicked back with one hand, and drove the ball into the basket.
2-0!
The Lakers quickly counterattacked amid the cheers of the audience.
Deron looked at Artest who was rushing towards him again, and decisively sent the ball to Kobe's hands.
"Black Mamba" faces "Gentleman Ray".
In fact, what many people don't know is that the original Ray Allen's defense against Kobe in the 2008 Finals and the 2010 Finals was okay, at least above the standard line.
He has defensive experience.
And a hardness that doesn't match his figure.
Speaking of it, this is also the reason why many people feel that Kobe's breakthrough is not straightforward enough. He needs to mobilize the opponent's defensive center of gravity through rhythm, and then make a breakthrough.
make people feel...
Everyone is 50-50!
Of course, judging from the results, there are very few people who can prevent Kobe from breaking through.
Ray Allen also relied on the complementary defense of Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett to achieve above-par defensive quality.
And this is also the basis of Li Wan's idea!
Since it is difficult for any single person to defend Kobe, then...
Not only defense!
Add a help defense, can Kobe be done!
If not, then add another defense, can Kobe be done!
Yes, it is the legendary "1 plus 2" defensive mode...
The entire New York Knicks defense is open for Kobe!
For example, in this round, Kobe finally got rid of Ray Allen with the ball and grabbed the opportunity to enter the three-point line. Artest next to him immediately leaned over with his tyrannical body.
In the confrontation, the "Black Mamba" gave the ball to Deron in front of the free throw line.
"Little Fatty" scored a mid-range jumper!
2-2 flat...
"That's how to defend, just how to defend!"
Although the Lakers still scored, Mike Brown was very happy.
Because Kobe passed the ball.
It's not that Kobe has never used his own restraint to play, and he also won three consecutive "triple-doubles", but he couldn't win the ball, and then he gave up being an organizer and concentrated on scoring.
Some people are destined to win only by scoring.
Kobe is such a person!
The reason why the New York Knicks' entire perimeter defense is staring at Kobe is this:
Force him to pass, or take an unreasonable shot.
Of course, in the eyes of Kobe and Director Zhang, there is no unreasonableness in every shot he makes, only "is the ball difficult" and "can teammates not stand like a log".
At this moment, Director Zhang was shouting: "Look, this is Kobe's restraint. If Deron doesn't make it, I'm really sorry for Kobe."
The New York Knicks launched a counterattack. After "Li Liu" picked and rolled, the ball was given to Dayao under the basket.
Once "eat it alive", the "little shark" was gnawed by the "little giant".
He didn't even turn off the lights!
4-2!
Yang Yi looked at it and felt pain for "Little Shark": "Hey boy, Bynum really can't handle Dayao!"
Kobe was speechless for a while.
He just took a sip of the moisture he stored in his clothes, and Yao Mingming just took the ball at that time, but in the end, as soon as he took a sip, it was swallowed by Bynum...
This is too easy, right?
Deron summoned up his courage again and "grinded tofu" with Artest. After a few confrontations, he couldn't bear it anymore, surrendered his gun, and handed over the ball again.
Kobe Bryant faces Ray Allen with the ball.
Still encountered interception in the breakthrough.
Li Wan's hand was about to touch the ball in his hand.
Old six!
With a curse in his heart, Kobe passed the ball from his crotch to the other hand...
"Snapped!"
Unexpectedly, Artest also made up for it at this time.
With a slap, the ball was pulled out of Kobe's hand.
"Black Mamba" turned and chased after him.
Li Wan went after him before he did.
It's just that Kobe was closer to the ball, and with a sudden pounce, he even touched the ball first. Li Wan also jumped when he saw that he was so desperate.
When Kobe hugged the ball and hid it in his arms, his hand also touched the ball.
The two wrestled together and rolled on the ground several times.
Every lap, the exclamation on the scene became louder.
In the end, the exclamation was so loud that even the referee's whistle could not be heard clearly.
The basketball was almost deformed under the mutual pull of Kobe and Li Wan.
The action was so big that the two referees who came running had a big fight with each of them.
I'm so...
The referee was very angry, but looking at these two people, one was Li Wan and the other was Kobe. At that time, he could only blame himself for not standing properly.
Careless, no flash!
The sound of "all" finally made the two of them stop fighting for the ball. Looking at the appearance of the two of them, their faces were already flushed, obviously desperate.
This scene was also recorded by several reporters on the sidelines, and became the headline of n media reports after the game:
[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, the source app! It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Are they really friends?
Li Wan: Friends come and go...
Kobe Bryant: The championship banner will always fly~
The fight for the championship is so simple and unpretentious!
The referee finally signaled for a scrimmage.
With his better wingspan, Li Wan touched the ball earlier and successfully grabbed the ball.
Kobe's mistake plus 1!
"If the Lakers lose this round in the end, Kobe, will you regret it?"
Li Wan shouted at Kobe.
Kobe didn't speak, but his expression sank visibly.
Answer questions with expressions, this snake has always been fine.
Li Wan said again: "Don't worry, Kobe, our friendship is here, I won't let you lose only 2 points!"
The Knicks fans who heard this on the sidelines felt that Li Wan was really kind to his friends...
Kobe: ...
I can **** you!
Surround him, surround him, surround him for me!
The furious "Black Mamba" kept signaling Deron Williams next to him.
Delong obeyed and forced Li Wan towards Kobe.
It's just that Li Wan gave the ball from behind to the other side, and a "Crawford-style" dribble and jump behind the back easily broke Deron's pressure.
Seeing that Li Wan couldn't come, Kobe prepared to double-team him.
Li Wan immediately threw the ball to Ray Allen, asking the NBA "historical three-pointer" to teach this "little snake" and let him know what "don't miss out"!
"Shua!"
Three grams of oil, sir!
Ray Allen simply hit a 3-pointer, and then gave Kobe a teasing expression that was purely beating.
Kobe looked at this expression and got a little over the top.
When he heard Li Wan passing by again, "Weak Weak" said, "No wonder you were the 13th pick in the first round in 1996, and he was the 4th pick in the first round"!
Kobe immediately became more restless.
He made up his mind to let Li Wan see why he is called "the strongest 13th pick in the first round of the latecomers".
Ray Allen felt that Kobe had a stronger desire to attack than before, so he took a step back with experience, and only entangled Kobe after he entered the three-point line.
Kobe put his shoulders sideways, pressed in, and was about to put up a posture for a back shot. Artest quietly touched him, but when Kobe made a move to pass the ball, he immediately retreated to Deron Williams Beside.
I thought Artest had been scared away, but at the same time as Kobe was posing, Artest touched him again.
I'm so...
Kobe can only look for Deron Williams again, and scare the guy away with his eyes.
but…
Kobe, come out~
Kobe, the nest is in again~
Kobe, the nest is out again~
The nest is in again...
Kobe: ...
Damn, why don't you be so cheap!
Artest came in and out, playing out the feeling:
fun!
fun!
so fun!
In the end, it was Kobe who was anxious first. This time he forced Ray Allen and Artest to shoot a mid-range jumper.
Anyway, there are only two people, so it's considered empty!
"Boom!"
Although Kobe thought so, the clearer sound of hammering iron told him that this shot was indeed a little bit more difficult than usual shots.
"Snapped!"
Pau Gasol almost touched the ball, Li Wan rushed out from the side and protected the rebound.
It is worth mentioning that in the last game, the New York Knicks had a "50-50 split" with the Lakers' starters, barely winning by 4 points. Such a stalemate naturally means that the Lakers have an advantage in some aspects Yes, for example, their offensive rebounds are five or six more than the New York Knicks!
This number is really scary...
But the first quarter of the game was almost over, and the Lakers didn't have any advantage in terms of offensive rebounds. Instead, they grabbed one less.
Li Wan strengthened his rush for rebounds, which reduced the pressure on the inside to grab rebounds a lot.
After all, he has rushed for a season, and Li Wan is still very experienced in rebounding.
What's more, Li Wan's height is here, 2 meters 03... If it is replaced by someone else, with an "explosive head", it will be the top-level inside line guard of "Xingtian Boyunzhu, Jiahai Zijinliang" people!
The Knicks counterattacked quickly and successfully scored the next round of offense.
The point difference gradually widened, and at 8 minutes and 15 seconds of the first quarter, the New York Knicks' lead had reached 8 points.
Both sides have not replaced the substitute lineup at this time.
In other words, the Lakers' starting lineup in the last "50-50" game was scored by 8 points in less than one quarter of this game.
There are two reasons for being so passive, and Phil Handy has already written it down in his notebook.
The first point is naturally that the advantage of offensive rebounds is not there.
The second point is that Kobe Bryant faced the New York Knicks' defensive changes and had an extremely obvious discomfort...
The first point was a surprise.
After the first game, the assistant coaches of the Lakers who noticed this had a wait-and-see attitude. In their view, whether this is an advantage or not still needs to be observed.
But Kobe didn't adapt to the New York Knicks' defensive changes, which they didn't expect.
First of all, they really didn't expect that Kobe would still be uncomfortable due to the opponent's defensive changes during this period. The scoring ability he has mastered is supposed to be enough to deal with all situations.
Then…
They really didn't expect that the opponent would suddenly use Artest to deal with Deron.
The latter was originally a style of play that relied on his body to crush the matchup to make a breakthrough. Now that he meets Artest, who is strong in the third and even the fourth position, he can be regarded as meeting his nemesis.
Didn't you see how easy it was for Artest to defend against Deron's singles with the ball?
He was even able to tease Kobe there with ease.
It was his constant "in and out" in the face of Kobe that prevented the "Black Mamba" from concentrating on his offense.
not to mention...
On the other side, there is also a "old six" who has been watching!
To be honest, this defense is really full of "cheesyness". Mike Brown's defensive style is not like this. How could this game be...
"All!"
In the end, at the end of the first quarter, the New York Knicks led by 11 points 39-28.
Artest looked at Deron Williams who made 2 of 5 shots against him, and then looked at Kobe who made 3 of 7 shots. At that time, it felt like...
The "horse race" tactic was a great success.
His "top horse" not only guarded against the "medium horse", but also made Kobe, the "top horse", uncomfortable!
Tian Ji really knows how to play!
"Li, you should have told me this story earlier. By the way, is Tian Ji your friend? When will you ask him to have a drink together?"
Li Wan: ...
Ok…
At that time, he really didn't say who Tian Ji was.
"Don't worry, there's a chance. I'll make an appointment for you on April 5 next year!" Li Wan took the white towel while arguing with Artest.
"April 5? So long, is he so busy?"
"It's not that he's busy, it's that he's inconvenient and can't come out usually..."
"Understood..." Artest lowered his voice and leaned against Li Wan, "007, right?"
Li Wan nodded, wanting to applaud Artest's brain circuit, but he still didn't explain: "Almost!"
"No wonder you're so good at playing..." Artest showed a sudden realization expression.
Agents know how to play, just look at Popovich, who was also born as a spy...
As soon as the second quarter came up, he said to the ugly Kobe: "Dude, if you knew who you lost to, you wouldn't be so reconciled..."
Kobe rolled his eyes and said nothing.
I was played by you today!
But I am not blind!
Not even knowing who you are!
The Lakers trailed by 11 points in the first quarter, but this was not their most difficult moment.
The most difficult moment, with the start of the second quarter of the game, has just arrived...
The Lakers still have 3 main players on the court at this moment.
They are Kobe who has played 12 minutes in the first quarter.
He just took a few breaths during the intermission and continued to play.
Then there were Bynum and Deron Williams who ended 10 minutes into the first quarter. They rested for the rest of the first quarter and the intermission, and they were immediately put on the court as soon as the second quarter came up.
Off the court, Pau Gasol and Ariza played the entire first quarter, and they just came off the court to rest at this time...
They have to rest for 3 minutes at most, and they have to play immediately, otherwise, Kobe will be on the court for more than 15 minutes...
Even Kobe is also known as a "physical monster"!
But it was built like this in the first half, who knows what kind of state he can show in the second half...
After all, this is the stage of the finals, and the strength of the confrontation itself is here!
With such a high-intensity confrontation and continuous playing time, in Li Wan's impression, only LeBron James has been used in this way 10 years later.
But even LeBron James was exhausted in the end.
The peak "Little Emperor"'s physical fitness, even Kobe can't compare...
So Li Wan can already imagine Kobe waiting for a while...
Mike Brown really didn't hold back at all.
Give all the defense to Kobe who has been on the court for the longest time.
You're called "The Unbeatable Black Mamba", right?
As a result, Mike Brown proved with his tough defense that even the "Black Mamba" with the strongest willpower will experience ups and downs in his state due to physical problems.
At 2 minutes and 34 seconds of the second quarter, Kobe made a "3 non-stick" shot from outside the three-point line.
Phil Jackson knew very well that his physical fitness was reaching its limit. Although there was still about half a minute left, but now... he could only take Pau Gasol and the others on the field.
Kobe was replaced.
The appearance of him panting heavily made Barkley think that time went back to the 19th century,
At that time, "Kobe" like this could be seen everywhere on farms in the south!
Phil Jackson's "farmer arrangement" is really too useless for black people...
Kobe finally had a chance to take a breather.
The support of the Lakers on the field became Deron Williams and Pau Gasol.
It has to be said that in the absence of Kobe, the power of the "pick-and-roll" tactics of these two people will indeed be reduced by a few points. However, Phil Jackson's "chicken soup" revealed its power at this time.
Deron Williams, who has completely found his form, actually completed a few breakthrough points or individual points in the face of Artest. In the two minutes after Kobe left the court, he played 3 points and 1 assist by himself, playing very effectively. feel.
This made Artest grit his teeth.
Damn I'm a medium horse?
He was not happy when he thought that if he couldn't defend Deron, he might defend Ariza in the next game!
Li Wan defends inferior horses because he is a "super horse". There are many aspects of the game waiting for him to contribute! At this time, his defense of Ariza is actually a situation that the entire New York Knicks would like to see.
He is different.
His main responsibility is to defend. If he defends inferior horses, doesn't that prove that he is not capable of defending?
No, absolutely not!
Artest's eye sockets gradually turned red.
The "beast" activated his animal nature under tremendous pressure.
Deron Williams, who just felt that Artest was not enough to play, immediately felt the pressure. During this breakthrough with the ball, he gradually fell into a passive defense.
A carelessness, coupled with a mistake in the middle of a busy schedule, changed the direction in front of the body and sent the ball directly to Artest's hands.
"Snapped!"
"The Beast" completed a face-to-face steal, and Li Wan rushed out from the side, grabbed the ball, and quickly completed a counterattack dunk.
The Lakers had a good momentum, but now there is some stagnation.
Deron Williams' second attack with the ball still failed.
But Phil Jackson off the court showed a satisfied smile, because the game time has come to 5 minutes and 46 seconds of the second quarter, and Kobe can play after the rest!
Deron Williams and their on-court missions are done...
And when Kobe returned to the court, the Lakers had found their main force, and they even suppressed the scene a little in the following time.
With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers trailed the Knicks by 7 points.
It is equivalent to saying that from the second quarter to now, the Lakers recovered the 4-point difference.
only…
The problem of the "Southern Slave Master" style of play was exposed at this moment.
Bynum and Deron Williams, who played at the beginning of the second quarter, have been on the court for 9 minutes without knowing it.
Deron Williams once attacked with the ball under the defense of Artest, dragging the offensive end of the Lakers by himself; The role of the Lakers is currently only a "meat shield" and "second attack to eat cakes", and they don't even give him the chance to hold the ball. — Uh, the arrival of Deron Williams has indeed made the Lakers' possession of the ball on the offensive end more tense, and Bynum naturally has no chance to hold the ball.
Of course, in the current starting lineup of the Lakers, whether it is Kobe Bryant or Pau Gasol, or Deron Williams, whoever holds the ball, Bynum dare not say "no".
But even so, Bynum is still a bit too much.
The reason, of course, is the well-worn question:
His weak knees!
Looks like it's starting to swell and red again!
That's right, from the first half to the present, he actually only rested for 2 minutes. Where did the previous "Little Sharks" fight such a war of attrition?
He was gradually unable to hold on, and Li Wan saw it, and he was not polite at all, and gave all the ball rights to Yao and Shaquille O'Neal who came off the bench.
The "little giant" ate and wiped away Bynum. After the "big shark" came up, he was not polite at all, chewing and swallowing the last "wreckage" of Bynum...
After eating, I had to smack my mouth twice: "That's it, can it be called 'Little Shark'?"
At the end of the first half, the New York Knicks easily established a 13-point advantage.
That is to say, in the first 3/4 of the second quarter, the Lakers worked hard and narrowed the 4-point gap. As a result, they lost 6 points in the last 3 minutes...
It perfectly interprets what is meant by "cutting and searching for n years, returning to the pre-liberation overnight"...
Phil Jackson shook his head secretly. This extreme substitution tactic sounds difficult to implement, but now that he implements it, he finds that it is more difficult than he imagined.
Of course, the main problem was focused on Bynum. This guy looked like he was going to be scrapped in the first half. Phil Jackson couldn't imagine what he would look like in the second half.
Damn it, little Buss!
It's all the grandson's fault!
When Phil Jackson thought of this tactic because the "Little Shark" could not see any hope, he thought of how he tried to stop Bass Jr. in 2005 and not choose Bynum...
But this guy relied on being the heir of the Bass family, so he just made a decision, UU reading www.uukanshu. com brought Bynum to Los Angeles, and patted his chest and said to him:
You will thank me later, Phil!
I thank you grandma for a leg!
Phil Jackson thought, if Yin An Mahinmi was chosen at that time, it would not be as hopeless as it is now...
Artest looked at halftime, Kobe Bryant's 6 of 15 shots, and finally relieved!
The strategy of not defending the best horses does work...
Kobe's expression at that time!
Artest felt that it was the most helpless expression he had ever seen Kobe...
But the situation at that time:
After Shaq O'Neal came on the court, he kept bullying Bynum as a sandbag, but Kobe was watched by the entire outside line of the Lakers. Ke O'Neal scored one after another, helping the New York Knicks to widen the point difference to more than 13 points.
As far as the past of the two of them is concerned, watching this scene with their own eyes, Artest is not Kobe, and they all feel that the taste must be very uncomfortable. Anyway, if Artest was Kobe at the time, he must have the urge to break his ribs .
"In the second half, it's still the same style of play. Remember, bite the score and wait for the game to enter the fourth quarter..."
D'Antoni still hasn't changed.
Continue to fight the "war of attrition".
He really didn't expect that the finals would be even better than the three rounds of the Eastern Conference series!
Anyway, you can win at the last moment, which can tie a dog in front of the bench and partner with Mike Brown...
