Chapter 498 The Choice of "Zen Master"
A fierce attack, a fierce performance, such a hot scene is enough to make the North Shore Garden become a sea of Boston people's cheers again. The advantage accumulated by the Lakers collapsed in an instant.
In fact, no one can control other people's hearts. No matter how resourceful they are, it is impossible to predict everything.
"Zen Master" is a very calculating person. He considers many opening modes, and Kobe suppresses his opponent with his own attack power, making the Celtics' rhythm chaotic, which is the best result.
In fact, he really did this result. While Kobe's crazy attack, he also disturbed the opponent's mind. Although he did not force Rivers to call for a timeout just now, he could see the psychological changes of the other party.
If this momentum can continue, maybe a blow will work, and you can always take the initiative in the score!
But this result has existed for less than two minutes. The Celtics' two counterattacks have shattered this advantage, especially the cooperation between Rondo and Chen Feng, which is simply a blow to the head!
This feeling may be the simplest and most direct. You can really feel the pain! I can feel the pressure coming to my face.
Chen Feng's attack awakened a city. Similarly, he also activated everyone in the Celtics. The sense of sluggishness after the opening disappeared at this moment.
Garnett and Ray Allen, including Pierce, actually played a little tight after the opening, especially after the score rate turned on the scoring mode first, these guys were too anxious to pull the score back and seize the initiative.
Therefore, the Celtics' attack was not so patient, especially in the periphery. Several shots were chosen at the wrong time, so they were either disturbed or they failed to seize the opportunity to shoot in the empty space.
It's not terrible to be behind. The more worrying question is how to get the rhythm back. After the opening, the Lakers took the lead in attacking, and then the Celtics passively defended.
This is not the rhythm that the Green Shirts are best at this season, especially at home. They have not been so passive. As a result, the Lakers can only lead by 6 points, and even the "Zen Master" has the possibility to continue to widen this gap.
But Chen Feng killed it at this key point, using his fierce attack to bring the score closer to only two points, not to mention the Lakers' momentum.
The crazy slam dunk jumping from the free throw line instantly ignited the atmosphere in the stadium, which made Barley and others on the commentary table almost jump up directly, especially the fat man, who was almost crazy!
"OH, MY, GOD! This must be crazy, Reggie. Look at me. Is there something wrong with my eyes!? What was that just now? Does the free throw line take off!? Am I really not dazzle!?
"I just bet that if Michael is also watching this game now, he will be glad that he has retired! Otherwise, his unique skills will definitely be tampered with. My God, this scene is so crazy! Who has ever seen a big guy over . 08 meters perform such a wonderful dunk on the free throw line?
"I can guarantee that if this guy goes to the slam dunk contest, everyone in the audience will give him a full score! No one will ever say that there is something wrong with this slam dunk. I really doubt it now. Can that guy fly?
Barkley is definitely an emotional commentator. If he sees who is pleasing to him, he will spare no effort to praise him. But now, Barkley dares to assure anyone that he is by no means supporting him.
Although this fat man has been in the NBA for so long, it is the first time he has seen such a crazy scene!
Although I have also seen the live performance of Brent Barry and Master Joe, the height and physique of Chen Feng suddenly shocked everyone.
Compared with Barkley's exaggeration, Miller and Smith are much quieter, but they also said that the moment just now may become the best shot of the finals and even the whole season.
Rondo's pass did not hesitate at all, as if he had calculated the time Chen Feng cut in, and the madman who bombarded the basket with the ball seemed to have already figured out what to do, really like flying in the air!
I don't know if he was shocked by Chen Feng. Anyway, in the subsequent counterattack, Kobe chose to score the ball after breaking through. As a result, Odom received the ball and wanted to make a middle shot on the board.
But this guy just wanted to shake it with a fake action before he took action, but it was such a pause that he was directly seized by someone. When Odom took action, the big slap had already been waiting in mid-air!
Pup! This crisp sound can be included in the microphone behind the rebound. You can imagine how heavy a slap it is, and the fanned basketball was picked up by Garnett and thrown to Pierce.
Quick counterattack! The lightning speed, and Pierce was fierce enough. He did not choose to rush to the basket, but chose to jump outside the three-point line at the moment Kobe retreated.
Wh! Three-pointer! The accurate shot brought up the white nets and flew over. The Celtics' pursuit was decisive and not blind, because under the basket, Chen Feng and Garnett killed almost at the same time.
If Pierce's three-pointer fails to shoot directly, the two guys are likely to make up the basket directly. At this time, Bynum has not withdrawn, and Odom is stunned by the block fan just now!
Overtake! Although the score has just been rewritten to 14:13, everyone can see how strong the Celtics are now! Those guys are like a swarm of screaming beasts.
This made the "Zen Master" have to take the lead in shouting a timeout. When he fell behind just now, Rivers didn't care about the score difference, but let the players fight by themselves, but now the Lakers don't have the courage.
It can't be said that Jackson is a timid coach, but the old guy knows very well that their round ability is no worse than their opponents. It's just that when the opponent's momentum soars, the destructive power of the green shirts is amazing!
When the Cavaliers and the Pistons were at home, they did not have a chance to achieve a balance of power in the situation, but it was because of the impact of the opponent that all their tactical arrangements were disrupted.
Now the Celtics' momentum is going up. If they don't call for a timeout, the Lakers are likely to suffer a more serious blow, which will not be the gap in the score.
For the grasp of the rhythm of the game, even Auerbach will not doubt this. "If he dares to shout a minute late, the confidence of the Lakers may be damaged."
Auerbach hasn't been the head coach for 20 years, but his sense of smell is still sensitive, and he can also understand the concerns of "Zen Master". If he really shouts two minutes late, the consequences will be unimaginable.
And Phil Jackson's suspension can really stabilize the army. Although the Celtics' impact was very fierce just now, after the second appearance, the Lakers' attack was not so impatient.
In addition, Kobe is no longer their only choice to attack. Bynum and Gasol's insiders began to receive passes frequently. It can be seen that Jackson is the most stable offensive point to play with the Celtics.
In the first few minutes, Kobe Bryant dominated the attack, but the Lakers are not the only weapon. Gasol also began to appear after almost half a quarter of the game. The power of the Spaniard is being highlighted.
It is not tough enough, the playing style is soft, there is no lethality under the basket, and it is not conducive to the protection of rebounding. These problems are all problems that can be listed when others criticized Gasol.
For this point, even Gasol himself may not be able to refute it. This is a common problem of European centers in the NBA. Whether it is him or other European insiders, it seems to be a little disadvantageous in physical confrontation.
But those people only saw Gasol's problems, but did not see what this guy's advantage was, and the failure experience in the Grizzlies had also become a Spanish leaderless rhetoric.
However, there are people who are like this. If he changes to a suitable place for him, he may really kill the sky. This is the reason why trees move to death and people move to life.
And Gasol is a typical representative of moving and shining. In Memphis, he is the focus of the whole team's attack and defense. He is not given all the offensive power, but he has to do a lot of work on the inside.
In addition to protecting rebounds and scoring, you also have to be responsible for some dirty work of blue-collar workers. This usage is a complete waste of resources, but not many people think it is wrong.
Who makes you the most stable insider of the Grizzlies? If you don't do this, can you let others come? He will never give full play to his greatest advantage if he expects the Spaniard to fight like this inside.
But the "Zen Master" can understand how to use this big man. There is Bynum under the basket, Odom under the flank, and Gasol in the Lakers is the fulcrum of connecting the inside and outside lines!
There is no need to think about so many issues, that is, to allocate the ball rights reasonably. He is even more important than Fisher, the point guard. Once the ball runs, most of the last pass is him.
Gasol can integrate into the team so quickly after joining Los Angeles because of an old fox like a "Zen master". Now, this Spaniard is in front of Chen Feng.
Fisher passed to the inside line, and Gasol held the ball back basket, with Chen Feng behind him, but he did not eat hard on his body and wiped it under the basket like the ordinary inside line, but held the ball in a high position to find an opportunity.
It's not that Chen Feng hasn't competed with Gasol on the court. It's not that the Spaniard was still with the Grizzlies at that time.
This is completely the same feeling as now. When Gasol held the ball behind his back, Chen Feng just wanted to push this guy out and let him be as far away from the three-second zone, the better.
As for the guy who wants to respond at a high level, Rondo and Pierce over there have already fixed their goals.
Whether it is Fisher's running position or Odom's response, it seems unrealistic to open the gap directly now, and Kobe is also entangled by the "gentleman's sword", and Garnett is also stuck with Bynum.
All this seems to mean that Gasol can only pass the ball out and wait for the next opportunity to attack.
But before Chen Feng finished thinking about it, Gasol had moved first! Crossing a step, he controlled the ball with his right hand and exerted his strength to the left, which made Chen Feng take a step with the opponent and wanted to get stuck in the periphery and could not cut in.
But Gasol's power only ended here. A wiping action was not complete at all, but he turned back with his foot as the axis, and then threw a light hook near the three-second line with his left hand. At this time, Chen Feng didn't have time to return to his position at all. What's more, how can you seal the hook? Cover?
Face-to-face singles, Gasol's attack is already showing that Jackson is going to drag the game to the end.
At least in terms of the situation on the field, the "Zen master" will not be willing to fail because of the outbreak of a guy.
He had made it very clear when he paused, starting from the inside line and running as much as possible on the periphery.
Lower the rhythm and let the whole game start to fight around the inside. Kobe is a mobile gun, while the inside Gasol, Bynum and Odom will fight with Garnett to the end!
This is the first confrontation. What the "Zen master" wants is a good start, even in the away game!
And Chen Feng has to deal with it. In addition to the strong man of Bynum, he should also think about how to deal with the flexible Spaniard...
