Chapter 313 Climbing to the Climax (45)

Kobe's style of play is becoming the weathervane of the Lakers. With a wave of offensives by the sun, the point difference will be chased to 7 points.Kobe's offense has become very important.

When the Suns caught up to 7 points, the Lakers did not call a timeout.

Phil Jackson's biggest act is to do nothing, fully trust the player's ability to adjust, and if there is no obvious difference, he will never call a timeout for readjustment.

This style of coaching has been criticized by many people, but it is this style that made Jordan's perfect ending of one attack, one break, and another attack at the last moment of the 1998 Finals.

Any coaching philosophy is not absolutely correct, it is a personal choice, and there is nothing to blame.Jackson often told players to keep playing when fans and commentators thought a timeout should be called to slow the game down.

Just like now, the sense of crisis of being caught head-on made Kobe turn his back on Bell and raise his hand for the ball.

Wei Xia passed the ball. Before Kobe didn't use his strength, the sun was very afraid of him.Now that he has entered a period of exertion and is holding the ball in the low post, double-teaming is a decision without worry.

After all, playing against the Lakers, Kobe can never be wrong.

When encountering double-teaming, Kobe only had Wei Xia in his eyes.In this team, there are not many people worthy of his trust, and that guy is one of them.

Wei Xia didn't wait for Kobe to pass the ball, he gave up the three-pointer from the outside, and as long as Nash let him go, he rushed to the Sun's penalty area at full speed.

Wei Xia wants to stay on defense, but the Lakers also need him to participate in the offensive end.Now he does not have enough confidence to throw the ball into the basket, so he follows the truth that has not changed since Dr. Naismith invented basketball: the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score.

Kobe's pass was in place, Wei Xia took the ball and dribbled it, and the cunning Diao wanted to make Wei Xia's offensive foul.

The moment before the two bodies came into contact, Wei Xia slid out a wonderful left European step.Dio, who was about to make a foul, stared wide-eyed as Wei Xia flashed past him, and he couldn't move.Once it moves, it will be Wei Xia's cylinder that is violated.

He can only watch, as Phil Jackson does most of the time.The greatest act is inaction.

砰唰

The numb feeling of fatigue spread to Wei Xia's limbs. Only at this time did he know what he really wanted.

If this is the price of winning, then he is willing to experience more than ten times the fatigue, as long as the goddess of victory bestows on him the final victory and leaves a victory kiss on his passable pretty face, it is worth it.

96 is better than 87

Wei Xia made a layup and the point difference returned to 9 points.

"Good shot!" Bryant applauded.

Wei Xia couldn't hear him anymore. He stayed in the front court and looked at Nash. The Son of Wind knew what he wanted to do.

Nash didn't struggle with fighting Wei Xia alone, Wei Xia's defensive strength recovered, his physical fitness seemed to never dry up, and his flushed complexion seemed to lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen at any time.

But before losing consciousness, he will maintain the defensive intensity.

In one series, he managed to make the Suns hate him.

The Suns hated his defense, hated his trash talk, hated his petty moves, hated his flamboyant acting and faux friendliness, but they respected Wescia's performance.

Nash called the pick-and-roll, and it was Marion who came to help.

The hacker stooped to block, leaving Wei Xia on the outside line. Nash's attack destroyed the Lakers' defense and passed the ball outward.Marion hit a three-pointer again with a weird shooting move.

90 is better than 96

The Lakers were scoring, and the Suns responded with one more point than they got.

"Like stray dogs scrambling for food, the Lakers and the Suns are biting each other." Cole watched with relish. "The Lakers never want to drag the game to the tiebreaker. Once they reach the seventh game, they will be in danger. The Suns are a better team. As long as they can drag the game back home, their chances of winning will be very high!"

After Cole said, the Lakers had Kobe holding the ball for halftime.

Out of good intentions, Kobe helped Wei Xia dribble the ball across the half court.Wei Xia wished that someone would help him with the dirty work, and Kobe offered to help, which is naturally the best.When he came to the frontcourt, he didn't intend to take the ball back. He walked to the bottom corner step by step, with a clear mind, that is, to open up space, and Kobe can do whatever he wants.

Kobe also wanted to play tactics, dribbling alone at the top of the arc for nearly eight seconds.

No one came to get the ball, no one ran out of chance, and there was no tactical call.

Raja Bell's half-step defense is enough for him to pull up the jumper, is it that sloppy?Now is the critical moment.

Kobe considered a lot, but he was very decisive when he actually did it.

Bell let him take half a step, and he directly saved the other steps. Facing the block that could block his line of sight, he forcibly pulled it up and hit a three-pointer.

Although dry-drawing is already McGrady's label, Kobe is the most frequent, most efficient (relatively speaking), and the most unreasonable dry-drawing master in this era.

99 is better than 90

His dry three-pointer brought the point difference back to 9 points.

Wei Xia chased Nash all over the court, and his rigorous pick-and-roll tactics made him busy for nothing.As long as Diaw's mentality is correct, his stocky body can provide high-quality pick-and-rolls.

Nash relied on his pick-and-roll to pass Weixia effortlessly.He dribbled into the inside and didn't jump much throughout the whole process. Dwayne Jones was 210 centimeters tall, and the quality of his defense was worse than that of Odom, which allowed Nash to pick the basket leisurely.

92 is better than 99

Wei Xia has remembered the lesson, not only must pay attention to Nash's dynamics, but also be careful of Dior's pick-and-roll.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and the Suns strictly prevented Kobe from receiving the ball.

Wescia passes the ball to Luke Walton.

The "smartest Laker" needs to use his intellect. He gets the ball over his head with both hands and can shoot and pass.The sun's defense against Kobe was too targeted, and Bell could reach out from behind Kobe at any time and touch the ball away.

Wharton's cleverness may have been buried by his impulsiveness before it could be brought into play.

He chooses between risky passes and reckless shots.

In fact, he has a better choice. For example, give the ball to Wei Xia. After all, there is still plenty of attack time, and he can completely reorganize the attack.

He who took the initiative to make a decision was ready to take responsibility for it, and his shooting arc was round again, but it was a pity that he hit the basket's neck.

The Sun's counterattack was intercepted by Wei Xia and Kobe.

Next is the exact same tactic, the pick-and-roll offense.

No matter how careful Wei Xia is on guard, it is impossible to stick close to Nash in the deliberately high double pick-and-roll.

Diaw's pick-and-roll provided Nash with a better offensive solution.

They completely played the demeanor of the running and bombing team. At the critical moment, their tactical quality killed the Lakers in seconds.

Occupying a favorable position, Diaw instinctively attacked. He coveted a three-pointer and passed the ball to the outside corner.

The person who pulled outside was Tim Thomas. In the series against the Lakers, this guy made a three-pointer from the outside.

If you hope that the opponent can't grasp the open opportunity, it means that the defensive end has been destroyed by the opponent.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Suns' offensive firepower was rising steadily. When they should have been exhausted, they seemed to have drunk the fairy spring, regained their vitality and vigor, and regained the touch they lost in the first half.

95 is better than 99

The Lakers were in chaos, and Kobe and Walton frequently formed strong and weak sides to stand on one side.Wei Xia, who came to the strong side, could only get stuck in the bottom corner. Seeing his offensive status lowered, Nash felt a little relieved.If Wei Xia wants the ball to attack, it is difficult for him to deal with it.

At the same time, there was intense physical contact between the strong and weak sides.

Bell pulled out all the stops to prevent Bryant from receiving the ball.

The impatient Kobe didn't know why, but gave up the low-post game.He chose to come to the high position to help Walton make a pick-and-roll.When he's in position, Walton's position moves past him, and he steps back to catch the ball.

The plan was very thorough, but the opponent's reaction was not considered.

Will Bale let him have his way?of course not.

On the edge of the free throw line on the right, Kobe stuck with his back, Bell played a three-pronged approach, with small movements in his hands, his body was close to Wei Xia's waist, and his lower limbs pressed against Kobe's thigh from time to time.

Kobe, who was emotionally unstable, once again offered his iron elbow the moment Wharton passed the ball.

It's just that this elbow is no longer just.

The previous elbow can be said to follow the rules. The rules allow him to do that. Even if he hurts someone with his elbow, it is still a foul by the opponent. Who told the opponent to touch his elbow with his face or other parts?But this time, he lost his mind, and the burden of the whole team fell on him. At the critical moment, he seemed to only believe in himself. If he couldn't keep scoring, the Suns would smash them to pieces in a few minutes.

Eager to score, Bell launched a full-scale pressure on him, which eventually made him lose his mind and sent a sinful elbow. Even the Staples Center could not protect him.

"Kobe paid the price for his irrational behavior."

As a reminder, the price that Marv Albert said was an offensive foul.

A malicious elbow is actually just an offensive foul?

Because this is the home of the Lakers;

The person who started it was the popular spicy chicken who had been reborn from the ashes and was at the peak of his popularity;

Under normal circumstances, Kobe's elbow will only be called a foul by the opponent, but it is rare to call him a foul. Is there any dissatisfaction?

Belken's refusal to accept this result has to be said.

Nash was eager to chase points, and decided to dribble to call a three-pointer after getting rid of the pick-and-roll.

He might not believe it, but Wei Xia saw his intentions.

Since then, Wei Xia has been on guard.Nash called a pick-and-roll, Wei Xia did not fall into a physical confrontation, he acted like he couldn't get rid of the pick-and-roll, and let Nash collect the ball and shoot.When Nash shot, his defense came in front of him, far faster than Nash's bullet speed, allowing his fingertips to touch the opponent's shot.

"There will never be anyone who can restrain Steve Nash like Wish!"

Nash's long-range shots from the outside were untouchable, the Lakers received the rebound, Kobe made a fast break, and his teammate made a long pass. Can Bell interfere with Kobe's offense? Can he do it?

Just when Kobe decided to end his counterattack with an aggressive dunk, when he rushed at full speed to pass Bell, when all the audience stood up and cheered for their hero, Raja Bell decided to fight back.

Bell, who knew he couldn't stop Kobe's breakthrough, stretched out his strong right hand, and hung it from the front to Kobe's neck in a zigzag way. Then, as if to suffocate Kobe, he directly locked his throat and knocked him over.

Cole's horrifying "I buy Karma" showed the seriousness of the problem. Kobe was lying on the ground, and Bell walked away with a cold face. The Lakers fans booed with the greatest malice. This battle, which is a life-and-death battle for both sides, is reaching an unimaginable climax with its due intensity.
