Chapter 365
Chapter 364 Kobe Was Targeted! Blood Stained The Arena!
Perkins thing.
Kobe didn’t bother to explain himself, after all, it was the Lakers who benefited.
But he still replied to Gu Yu: “If you can do it, try it!
The two sides tangled until the end of the first half and tied at 45:45.
Back in the second half, the Lakers took the lead in changing formations.
The offensive player has changed from Kobe Bryant to a tough guy.
Kobe started playing more off the ball.
Kobe’s off the ball is definitely underestimated by many fans.
In the original history, after Warcraft came to the Lakers.
Although the Lakers’ overall record is not good, Bryant played the best offensive efficiency since 2009.
The reason is off the ball.
On the offensive end, Bryant made extensive use of double-tower screens, roamed without the ball, stepped up to the basket, caught the ball with ease, made jumpers, and dropped shots, once hitting a 180 club hit rate.
And Kobe’s off the ball is not the same as Junzilei and others.
What Junzilei, Curry, and Du Xiaoshuai are good at is to use a cover to make a lightning-quick start to get out of the vacancy.
But Kobe’s off-the-ball movement is more cunning. According to the opponent’s overall defense on the field and his own threat, he attracts the opponent’s defensive attention.
Then help teammates get a more comfortable position and shot opportunities.
Kobe Bryant singled with the ball, facing Battier’s single defense, and Gu Yu who helped to defend the pinch from time to time.
There are also Pierce and Junzi Lei taking turns to consume Kobe’s physical fitness.
In this case, attacking with the ball is simply impossible.
Therefore, the Lakers will begin to evolve in the second half.
But rather than changing the opponent’s formation and defensive focus.
Currently in the entire league, there is no player better than Gu Yu!
In the second half, seeing Kobe Bryant score no 23 goals, Gu Yu directly started to shoot all-star.
Due to the whistleblower scale, it changed from the second quarter.
In that game in the first quarter, I really wanted to score at the basket, but I was ripped off casually and didn’t call a foul.
The whistleblower scale returns to playoff averages.
Gu Yu’s star was shining, and the Lakers had no temper.
Artest defended Gu Yu, but was passed by Gu Yu in one step.
He doesn’t stick to Gu Yu, and his shot is very accurate.
The big hard defender came over, and Gu Yu passed the ball to assist his teammates.
“Beautiful pass! Gu Yu passes to Sean Shane Battier in the open!
“Beautiful! Sean Shane Battier successfully hit a three-pointer! The Celtics hit consecutive open three-pointers, creating a wave of 11:2 offense!
“Kobe cut to the basket without the ball, KG’s pass was very timely, Kobe made a layup and helped the Lakers bite the score!
“6””
As the voice of Barkley, the on-site commentator, continued to sound, the brows of the Zen master on the sidelines could not help but wrinkle.
trouble!
This is what the Zen master is thinking now.
If it was the whistle-blowing scale in the first quarter, the Zen master would not be worried at all now.
Gu Yu is very strong, but no matter how strong he is, there is no way he can ride the clouds.
He broke through to the basket, and Bynum would be able to pull it hard, and it would be a crazy foul.
The referee didn’t blow it anyway.
But with the whistle-blowing scale returned to playoff level.
If you want to stop Gu Yu from laying up and make some big moves, the referee will really blow the whistle.
As long as Gu Yu gets into the low post, he either scores or hits the free throw line.
But Gu Yu’s free throws were pretty accurate.
This gives the Zen master a headache!
At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics led the Lakers by 7 points 70:63 into the fourth quarter.
At this time, the live cameras were also aimed at Kobe and Gu Yu respectively.
Gu Yu was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
And Kobe’s breathing was obviously more rapid, and the sweat on his face was also more.
Just this picture, everyone can see that Kobe’s physical energy consumption is greater.
Smith, who commented on the scene, also began to analyze the situation on the field.
“I think the Lakers are still underestimating the enemy, and they only rested for about 5 minutes in the first three quarters.”
“Gu Yu’s physical fitness is obviously better than Kobe’s.”
“Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Shane Battier, Gu Yu, everyone is targeting Kobe.””
“Through the isolation, through the ball, through the defense, they were consuming Kobe like crazy.
“The Lakers seem to have Artest ready for Gu Yu, but it’s clear that Artest didn’t succeed in restraining Gu Yu.
“He doesn’t have that much on offense, and he can’t use up Gu Yu like Paul Pierce.”
“Although this sentence may make Lakers fans dissatisfied, I still have to say that the Lakers were suppressed from tactics by the Celtics in the first game!
After the magician heard Smith’s words, his face immediately darkened.
B…
But he still can’t refute it!
Because, Smith is telling the truth.
Bryant was successfully targeted by the Celtics, while the Lakers were unable to target Gu Yu.
The fourth quarter begins.
Gu Yu and Kobe just spat each other trash.
“Kobe, believe me, I’ll beat the Lakers in no time!”
“Gu Yu, the final winner will be the Lakers, and the glory of the Celtics will be destroyed by my own hands! 99
……
Kobe Bryant, whose physical strength was severely depleted, made 2 of 6 shots in the fourth quarter.
Especially in the last 3 minutes of the game, Kobe Bryant made a double iron.
Boom!
Boom!
It directly ruined the possibility of the Lakers’ final comeback.
hum!
As the timer went off, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 93:87.
In this game, Gu Yu scored 25 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block and 3 steals in a quasi-triple-double.
The Celtics took the lead in winning the first game, and the confrontation between the two sides was not only on the court.
at the post-match press conference.
The Zen master took responsibility for the loss.
“Acknowledging that today, the Celtics were really successful in limiting us, but they’re not going to be successful forever!
Adelman is also tit for tat.
“I once lost to the Lakers led by May in the Western Conference Finals, but this time it is not in the Western Conference Finals.”5
“We won one, and we have three games to go!
The smell of gunpowder from both sides spread from the stadium to the press conference.
Game two of the finals.
The two sides continued to fight fiercely.
This time, Zen Master also changed his tactics.
Aren’t the Celtics willing to play Dead Five?
The Lakers will accompany you to play Death Five!
Kobe, Artest, Odom, Big Hard, Bynum.
And the real variable of this game is Shane.
In the second half of the third quarter, Battier was directly broken by Artest’s elbow.
The famous scene of the blood-stained arena was born in the finals!
After Shane Battier left, the Celtics lost their only gate on the outside.
Junzilei and Rudy Fernandez, the ‘Spanish Demon Sword’, are the regular rotations of the Celtics’ backline.
But the defense of the two is really quite satisfactory, and even the latter is not very good, otherwise it will not always be a substitute.
Gu Yu’s biggest role for the team is to help prevent pinch attacks.
As a last resort, Adelman used Jerry Stackhouse.
Stackhouse is indeed a good player in confrontation, and he almost knocked over Kobe as soon as he played.
But he is indeed old.
Stackhouse’s lateral speed is too slow, and Kobe can basically pass him in one step.
Facing Stackhouse, Kobe Bryant scored 6 points in a row to directly help the Lakers overtake the score.
Adelman had no choice but to replace the Great Sage.
Dasheng didn’t play much in the playoffs.
Mainly, the No. 1 position is usually played by Gu Yu, and Gu Yu’s physical fitness is quite good.
The Great Sage, who came on the field, was obviously not in a good state.
The big vacant three-pointer is directly a strike.
Although the big holy defensive end is obviously better than Jerry Stackhouse’s effect on Kobe.
But the big vacancy is not in, 633 this is not to tell the Lakers.
Can you guys safely double-team Gu Yu?
In the end, relying on Kobe Bryant’s 34 points, 3 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.
The Lakers won their home court 94:92.
After the game, Gu Yu didn’t say much.
Injuries are part of the game after all.
The series returns to Boston.
Shane also made a successful comeback in this game.
After the comeback, Shane is obviously still haunted by the last game.
Defensive end to bite Kobe Bryant.
And Adelman, another bold change is to give Jordan playing time.
Jordan’s talent is there. Although his skills are a bit rough, his ability to protect the basket is still not weak.
Adelman deliberately staggered his and Bynum’s playing time.
After Bynum went down, the Lakers habitually used Lamar Odom to top the No. 5 position.
Lamar Odom has not played against Jordan many times before, thinking that Jordan is a drinking fountain authority and wants to play Jordan in the low post.
……
Jordan directly sent Lamar Odom two big caps.
And Jordan’s contribution, in addition to protecting the basket, is rebounding.
As the next two rebounding champions, Jordan’s rebounding ability naturally needless to say.
Gu Yu, Aldridge, and Jordan are basically players who can average 10 rebounds per game.
Plus Pierce, Shane and others.
In the third game, the Celtics directly blew the Lakers’ rebounds.
The Celtics grabbed 45 rebounds, while the Lakers grabbed only 34 rebounds.
Although, because of Jordan, Gu Yu couldn’t shoot all the stars.
But rely on the defensive end and rebounding strengths.
The Celtics outscored the Lakers by 15 points, 100-85.
The series lead the Lakers 2-1.
