Chapter 197 Can Kobe Hold It?
The Lakers lineup remains unchanged this season, and Mitch Kubchak still seems to be immersed in the greatness of Jerry West.
He is crazy and superstitious about the 1999-2000 championship team built by Jerry West, thinking that this is a perfect lineup, as evidenced by reaching the finals three times in a row!
As for the defeat in the finals of these two seasons, Kubchak believes that it was bad luck. In the tiebreaker of the 2000-2001 finals, he encountered a "black 1 minute", while last season was involved in refereeing incidents because of "innocent"...
The new three years, the old three years, and the stitching and mending for another three years.
The only change for the Lakers this season is that last season's defensive "big colander" Robert Horry was thrown into the bench, and the two rough guys Samaki Walker and Mark Madsen got the chance to start.
Affected by O'Neal's absence, the Lakers are currently only 23 wins and 23 losses, only ranked ninth in the West, and are still working hard for playoff tickets.
So even though the All-Star weekend is just around the corner, in this "fated duel" with the Knicks, the Lakers still offered the strongest lineup:
Point Guard: Derek Fisher
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant
Small Forward: Rick Fox
Power Forward: Samaki Walker
Center: Shaquille O'Neal
Sure enough, Robert Horry was still sidelined.
At the same time, Jeff Van Gundy also had a tacit understanding, and sent the best match in his mind in order to attack the Lakers head-on.
Point Guard: Larry Hughes
Shooting guard: Zhao Ke
Small Forward: Matt Halprin
Power Forward: Kurt Thomas
Center: Nene Hilario
Since playing with the Spurs, Andre Miller has fallen out of favor, and Larry Hughes has played decently as a guest point guard.
Compared with Andre Miller, Larry Hughes has obvious defects in rhythm control. He always breaks through and divides the ball all the way to the black.
But do the Knicks need to control the tempo?
At present, for the Knicks to win, all they need is Zhao Ke to show off, and then they can play whatever they want...
And the nine games the Knicks lost had the same reason:
Zhao Ke was absent, and there was no rush.
Although the entire league knows that in order to defeat the Knicks, Zhao Ke must be killed first, but Zhao Ke is very, very difficult to "kill".
First of all, you can't use malicious fouls. Zhao Ke's combat value is so high, whoever uses it will know.Bruce Bowen and Jerome Williams are living examples.
Secondly, you can't use double-teams yet. Since Larry Hughes partnered with Zhao Ke, there has been no market for double-teams at all.
In the end, you can only defend alone and move forward, hoping that Zhao Ke will not have a strong desire to attack and feel cold.
This is not absolute. The league is so big and there are more than 400 players under contract. There will always be people who think they can freeze Zhao Ke.
Kobe thought so too.
Kobe can be regarded as a witness of Zhao Ke's growth step by step, from a water dispenser administrator to the core of a team, although every growth of Zhao Ke is accompanied by Kobe's unpleasant memories.
This season Kobe has taken a solid step to become the boss of the team, and his spirit is very high.He thinks that Zhao Ke is not difficult to defend, as long as he puts a little effort on the defensive end.
Kobe Bryant is going to show Zhao Ke, a "kid who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth", a little bit of color before the start of the All-Star Weekend.
But this time, Zhao Ke seemed to be completely different. Since falling out with Knicks fans, Zhao Ke's temperament became more and more close to Qiao Rannuo:
There is no interaction in the entrance ceremony, just run over to give your teammates high fives, then bow your head in silence.
He didn't celebrate after scoring, but quietly watched the basketball get into the net pocket, and then walked away silently.
After blocking the shot, he didn't provoke, watched Harprin contribute a dunk, and then turned around to defend.
Don't talk, don't run around, and don't shoot casually on the court.Zhao Ke is slowly turning into a moving iceberg.
This made Kobe very uncomfortable. Where did that talkative kid go?
So at the beginning of the game, Kobe tried a few words of trash talk, but found that Zhao Ke was like a deaf man, he didn't respond at all, so he had to keep his mouth shut, lest he be like a crazy person, talking to himself.
Soon, Kobe realized what "people don't talk too much" is!
Less than a minute after the game, Zhao Ke slapped three consecutive blocks on Kobe's head with a blank face. Who is giving whom?
The Lakers failed to attack three times in a row. Kobe attacked three times with the ball, including two "Answer Balls" full of anger. He is currently 3 for 0 shots.
After eating three perverted hot pots, he was already furious, but O'Neill, the damned lazy, selfish, shameless fat man, was still chattering in his ears.
Since O'Neal, who returned from injury, found that he could not perform the return of the king, and Kobe had successfully usurped power, the OK team began to fight each other without scruples on the court.
So every time Kobe is blocked, O'Neal will be next to him: Let you not pass the ball, you are blocked, right?Serve it right, dwarf!
What's even more irritating is Zhao Ke, the boring gourd, who dances so shockingly every time, and the movements of his hands are so angry.
But as soon as he landed, he would walk away leisurely without even looking at Kobe, as if he had done such an insignificant thing.
My buddy is the most popular fried chicken in the league, can you contribute a little bit of arrogance, a little bit of satisfaction after blocking shots?
Your ignorance makes my buddy feel like he's pissing!
Kobe felt that he must be incompatible with Zhao Ke, and his zodiac signs were in conflict, and every time he confronted Zhao Ke, nothing good would happen.
Now Kobe, who is so angry, even feels that his blood pressure and heartbeat are very unsuitable to stay on the court!
On the fourth offense, Kobe took over the ball from the bottom line, and Fisher easily ran beyond the three-point line to become a spot-up shooter.
Kobe dribbled the ball across the half court, thinking at the same time, he must shake Zhao Ke out of his shit later, so as to calm the bad breath in his chest!
Every time he dribbled the ball, he was very powerful, and the basketball hit the floor heavily, as if Zhao Ke had turned into a little man and died there.
Unexpectedly, never expected.
The plan was so perfect, it was stillborn before it was implemented.
Just after crossing the center line, Zhao Ke suddenly passed Kobe like a ghost.
Kobe still made the move to continue dribbling, but the ball was gone!
When Kobe realized that his hands were empty, he looked back subconsciously, and happened to see the back of Zhao Ke taking off and shooting from outside the three-point line...
What kind of operation is this, zero seal?
When O'Neal wore a suit this season and Kobe, who was loved by thousands of people, never received such treatment!Kobe felt his temples throbbing non-stop, and his eyes turned black, why was it me again?
In the opening 1 minute, with Zhao Ke's three blocks and one steal, the Knicks gave the mighty Lakers a 9-0 trail.
