807 Learn to observe
In the first quarter, the Lakers formed a strong oppression on the Warriors. The transfer of Kobe and Gasol's ball rights made the Warriors who were used to Kobe's fighting alone were very unaccustomed to it.
But no team is a weak team to reach the final four. Although the Lakers have the advantage, the Warriors keep on striking the score, especially when West played a chaotic game with the strongman, he even recovered a lot of scores.
After the first quarter, the Lakers led by 6 points with 222. Seeing this score, Barkley and Smith in the live broadcast room nodded: "This is the normal playoff score. If the Warriors still scored 3 points in one quarter, I would really collapse."
"What we have to worry about now seems to be that the Warriors are going to be dragged down, and it is obvious that the Lakers are in the upper hand." Mark Jackson said.
Barkley and Smith looked at each other, and they all showed strange smiles on their faces. Jackson's strong body shivered and said, "Hey, guys, don't show your love in front of the TV, OK? This will bring bad kids."
Upon hearing this, Barkley was furious and said, "What stupid thing are you saying? My sexual orientation is normal and is very famous in the entire league. Besides, if I am really a GAY, then I must be an offensive. Do you think that a strange man like me with a normal aesthetic view will be worthy of a little bitch like Kenny?"
Smith raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Charles, you really have the attitude to say this. Where can you compare to me? Compared with honor, I have two championships, what do you have? Compared with appearance, I have been among the fiftiest handsomeest people in the American sports circle arranged by Mr. America. What about you? Compared with body shape, haha, I won't talk about your weirdness, let alone you have odor, bad breath and body odor, I really can't bear to continue talking."
Barkley was furious, he was about to yell, and Smith calmly pressed his palm down and looked at him and said, "Calm down, Charles, we must calm down, damn, we were fooled by Mark, this bastard, he deliberately provoked our saliva and we must calm down."
Barkley was stunned and thought for a while, saying, "Yes, we were fooled by Mark... Damn, we must punish him."
Jackson had to explain: "Guys, I was just kidding, okay, let's continue with the previous topic, the Warriors should be worried, right?"
Smith shook his head and said, "Nothing is there to worry about, no one is there?"
Smith expressed the thoughts of 20,000 fans in the Oracle Arena. Yes, their team is still behind, but Chamberlain has been sitting off the court. He has not yet shown his power. What are they worth worrying about?
However, after the start of the second quarter, Evans and Ibaka were still supported by the inside, and Chamberlain was still sitting off the court, and the fans couldn't sit still.
Old Nelson did not replace Chamberlain. He directed Iverson to lead the team to charge and engage in a difficult tug-of-war with the Lakers.
The Zen Master was a little surprised. He stared at Old Nelson, wanting to know what the old man was doing, but disappointed him. Old Nelson calmed down and could only stare at the stadium with bright eyes, looking even better than him.
At the beginning of the Lakers, the defender was replaced by Famar. Although under the current lineup, Fisher was not involved in organizing the offense, but the old fish were old after all, so they had to take a break.
Famal's organizational ability is inversely proportional to the size of his pair of wind-hitting ears. One person in the NHA who has such ears seems to be Jordan, but Jordan is very good at both offense and defense and organization on the back line.
Of course, basketball ability and ear shape have no direct relationship.
After the start, Famal ran quickly. After halfway through, he honestly passed the ball to Kobe, and then ran to the bottom line to go to what should be
Seeing this, Barkley smiled and said, "A team has 15 people, and each has different responsibilities. Jordan's role is to take the ball through the half and then hand it over to Kobe and find a place to stay. Uh, the Jordan I'm talking about is Jordan Famal, not Michael Jordan, the media don't take me out of context."
Hearing his second half of the warning, many reporters sighed regretfully. They had already thought about tomorrow's headlines: the Lakers played against the Warriors away, and Barkley said that Jordan was only worthy of the dribbling for Kobe.
Kobe got the ball and tried a step forward. West did not retreat but advanced, and went up to stumbling.
Seeing this, Kobe smiled. He bent down and spread his legs, then quickly hit the ball with his left hand, slid forward with his right leg, and rushed forward with his shoulders. At the same time, he used his shoulder to hold West and knocked him away. His agile body was like a big fish in the deep sea, breaking out flexibly.
West's explosive power was also very strong. With a muffled roar, he stuck his wings up, thrust his chest hard, and knocked Kobe toward the wings.
Kobe's excellence is that he can turn his disadvantages into advantages under any circumstances. His body was almost unstable by West, so he still accurately sent the ball to Gasol's hands.
After Gasol got the ball, he took two steps forward. Kobe leaned forward and ran forward. West was stuck by Gasol. Then Gasol passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe happened to insert into the penalty area and naturally jumped and sent the ball into the ring.
The fans in the Oracle Center are in a slump. They are not afraid of Kobe scoring, but they are afraid of the Lakers playing such tacit cooperation.
The first ball in the second quarter was played by Kobe. Smith pondered for a moment and sighed: "Kobe's scoring machine finally opened fire. I knew that he would not be satisfied with organizing the team."
Kobe only scored 7 points in the first quarter, which was the game with the least scored in the first quarter so far in the playoffs.
As Smith said, in the next two minutes, Kobe scored 6 points, almost tied the score in the first quarter.
Under Kobe's leadership, the Lakers launched a powerful offensive and stopped the Warriors 3-2.
But the fans were not discouraged because they knew that the Lakers' offensive forced Old Nelson to use his ultimate move - Chamberlain was about to make his debut.
Chamberlain's appearance made the Lakers a little nervous. The main performance was that Gasol no longer swimmered in the high position, but returned to the penalty area. Odom, who was on the bench, was also wandering around, and Bynum was stuck behind Chamberlain with a sad face.
Iverson took the ball outside the three-point line, and Kobe personally guarded him, spreading his arms to block his way.
Facing Kobe's unsparing defense, Iverson quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch, his eyes drifting. At some point, his shoulders suddenly shook, and then glided out of thin air. The basketball jumped from left hand to right hand, and roared through.
"Don't think about it" Kobe shouted fiercely, and his steps followed him slowly. As a result, as soon as he landed, his body seemed to hit a wall.
Kobe turned his head and saw Chamberlain's grin floating in the air, while Bynum and Odom were led out of the penalty area by Chamberlain.
"Go back" Kobe roared subconsciously. When he saw Bynum and Odom chasing him, his instinctive feeling was not good.
Iverson broke through to the inside with lightning, and Chamberlain turned around and followed, his speed was astonishingly slower than the defender.
Bynum and Odom already understood that they had been trapped by someone else's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so they hurriedly turned around to chase, but how could their speed be comparable to Chamberlain? The latter threw him to the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean with one force.
Following Iverson into the penalty area, Chamberlain looked at Gasol who was left behind, and secretly gritted his teeth and rushed towards him with a heavy shoulder.
Gasol's style of play is relatively soft and is famous in the entire league. Chamberlain's attack that carried the power of a comet hitting the earth did hit him, forcing him to retreat.
Iverson had expected that after rushing into the penalty area, he passed the ball towards the basketball. Chamberlain swung his arms, his body's center of gravity slightly lowered, and then he jumped high like a huge wave at the high tide, raised his hands and grabbed the basketball.
Holding the ball in hand, Chamberlain was like agarwood holding the Sky Axe when he was slashing Huashan. He let out a huge roar like a slamming wave. His huge body suddenly stopped in the air, his legs raised back and then tilted, and his whole body turned into a longbow, elegant and full of strong power.
"Bang" the sound of his hands hitting the rings echoed throughout the gymnasium through the megaphone on the rebound, for a long time.
Seeing Chamberlain's violent dunk, the Warriors fans who had been low-key for a long time finally found a gap to vent, and huge waves of cheers kept ringing from the audience, forcing some children to cover their ears.
Kobe looked at Jon with a expressionless face and signaled Gasol to serve him. When he received the ball, he said to Gasol: "Be firm, Spanish brother, you are a soldier now, OK?"
Gasol was a little embarrassed. He knew that his performance on the defensive end was indeed a bit frustrating, so he planned to take revenge on the offensive end.
Kobe made a gesture and the Lakers began a complicated but orderly running position.
Odom ran from the inside to the high post to help Kobe cover it, and then the two crossed over. Kobe passed the ball to Odom when he stuck Jackson; Gasol and Bynum formed a double tower, occupying the Warriors' penalty area space. As it turned out, the two tower tactics used by the Suns against the Warriors in the last round had been very restricted by Chamberlain.
This offense shows the changes of the Lakers. In the past, the Lakers were Kobe's team alone. After all, the ball was to give Kobe the rest of the team. Now it's different. The Warriors are facing a team, a sophisticated combat machine.
The real charge was still Kobe. With the double towers occupying the inside, he also ran in.
Kobe ran in to liberate Gasol. Espanyol left the penalty area, and Odom, who broke through, passed the ball to him. Gasol rose up, swung his arm gently, and shot the ball out.
"Beautiful" Smith said to praise the Lakers' cooperation, but soon after, a fierce figure rushed out, like an ancient monster that knocked away Bynum, stepped on the floor and then came first, and slapped the ball down with a slap.
"Beautiful...closed" Smith swallowed and had to change his words halfway.
Iverson grabbed the ball, the Warriors launched a fast break counterattack, the Lakers' defense responded quickly, and then ran towards the front court. Ten people from the two teams were like waves after wave, rolling downward, with amazing speed
After Iverson dribbled in the frontcourt, he rushed to the inside line firmly. Kobe ran and shouted: "Hold him down."
Kobe knew very well that Chamberlain was the most threatening one in this fast break.
After the words came, Kobe had already made great strides to catch up with Iverson. He did not speed up, just waiting behind Iverson. He dared to bet that if Iverson dared to take action at this time, he would definitely give him a big hat.
Iverson did not take action. He shook his arm tacitly and passed the ball out, just to West outside the three-point line.
Westten pulled his arm, and Famal was so scared that he hurriedly retreated. Chamberlain pushed Bynum with his arm and turned around suddenly, flexibly rushed towards the inside line. West's eyes lit up and passed the ball quickly.
He shook Bynum with his speed and half a step away. After receiving the ball, Chamberlain immediately got up and shot. Gasol was determined to take revenge and jumped subconsciously.
At this time, Chamberlain, who raised his arms, pulled down the ball in his hand again. He moved his steps flexibly and made a cross step. He rushed forward with another step, then he stomped his feet and jumped up gracefully, stretched his body and made a mid-range shot.
"Swish" the ball fell into the ring accurately, with Bynum and Gasol behind him, one left and one right, forming a background.
