Chapter 502 Number one killer
Phil Jackson must not have heard the words of Auerbach and Takanien, but he stood in the rest area and looked at the players in front of him, and he could also feel the pressure brought by the game just now.
This guy of the Lakers can win seven games with the Spurs. He is not a group of ** that can be easily knocked down. Even if the atmosphere of the North Shore Garden Arena is suffocating, they will not be scared by such a home atmosphere. On the offensive end, they can create a lot of prestige. Threatened.
But the Celtics' counterattack just now really made the Lakers' players feel powerless at the defensive end.
Especially Gasol, who is inside, he is really a little helpless. It has been very difficult for him to face Garnett, but if there is a more fierce madman around him, this is not what the Spaniards can keep!
Originally, in this piece of land in the NBA, Gasol is not a very tough insider. Although it is not so soft, if he fights with a standard muscular man, he must have died miserably.
This is the disadvantage of the European insider. They either have a particularly large physique, but they suffer from movement, or they are the physique standard, but in the face of a big man with tendons, they are cowardly, Gasol, belongs to the latter.
Especially after Bynum's end, the inside line of the Green Shirts continued to break through! It's because Gasol can't stand it. It's not that this guy's personality is so soft, it's just that his opponent is really a little too fierce!
You have to face a situation where two ghosts pat the door when you have nothing to do. No one can stand it! What's more, one is more and more ferocious, which makes Gasol's little heart pound and jump.
Needless to say, even the players can also feel the pressure from the Celtics. Crazy fans are on the one hand, and Rivers' fierce counterattack posture is the one that makes the "Zen master" heart tight the most.
As a novice, Rivers' response speed is too fast and too accurate, as if he expected the Lakers to do this. This feeling made Jackson a little difficult to accept, or more shocked.
If Jackson is facing an old guy like Auerbach now, maybe all the changes are understandable.
But when he meets Rivers at this moment, Jackson still has a sense of superiority in experience, but now he doesn't feel this way, and Rivers is not that kind of green novice.
In the on-the-spot command, he is not only spicy, at least he responds accurately and knows what he should do!
In the face of this kind of opponent, Jackson can no longer have any contempt. Also standing next to the venue of the finals, the fat guy is no worse than the "Zen master" who already has nine rings.
I originally intended to curb the impact of the Celtics at the opponent's home court, but my coping method not only did not suppress the opponent, but also ignited the aggressive desire of those animals!
If you want to rely on defense to keep your opponent near the three-second zone, and then push the Celtics' attack outward. Now, Rivers's coping strategy is to throw the attack to the inside line as much as possible!
Block it if you want it!? Rivers didn't agree to such a hypothesis! Where is it sealed! Just smash it where it is!
As a result, the Celtics' cattle really smashed a gap in the Lakers' inside line!
The result of such a situation is the three-point gap after the end of the first quarter, as well as the suppression of momentum. Leaving aside the atmosphere at home, just looking at the players on both sides are two mental states.
Originally, in the opening stage, it was the Lakers who played with great momentum, especially after Kobe tore the gap, and Gasol once suppressed the Celtics to death after holding the ball on his back and singled Chen Feng.
But Chen Feng's counterattack was too fierce, and after Weber came up, he completely activated the inside line, which not only made Bynum now only squatting on the bench with fouls.
What's more, Gasol is facing a strong impact. Odom can't help at all. He is already busy dealing with Weber. Such a passivity makes the Celtics' momentum begin to reverse pressure.
It can't be said that the Lakers are in a weak stage now, but the "Zen Master" is very clear that if the game is still like this in the second quarter, the collapse of the Lakers will be a problem sooner or later.
Not to mention this is on the road, even at home, it will still be blown up by the opponent. The loss of the inside line has affected the operation of the team. If there is an ups and downs in the hit rate on the offensive end, then there is no need to play this game.
If the attack in the first quarter is not really smooth, the Lakers may have fallen behind by more than three points, but how long can this offensive efficiency last? Phil Jackson was already thinking about this when he stopped on the sidelines.
Fisher and Odom's three-pointers are not conventional weapons. You can't always expect miracles.
Odom committed a foul, Gasol once, Bynum twice, and the Lakers' three major insiders are now facing the threat of too many fouls, especially Bynum. It is still unknown how long this guy will last. If he is pressed back to the bench again, then Gasol's defensive pressure will definitely increase sharply. Add.
If the inside line is completely blown up by the opponent, the previous tragedy of the Celtics washing the pistons and killing the Cavaliers may happen to the Lakers. Phil Jackson is not going to be the next unlucky.
In the first quarter of the game, everyone is testing, looking for a way to deal with it, and looking for opportunities to crack it. Then when the second quarter starts, the collision of real knives and guns will become more frequent.
If one side can't stand it, the final trend of the game will be finalized. At that time, no matter whether you are a "Zen master" or anyone else, there will definitely be no chance to turn over and counterattack.
The second quarter can't continue like this. Phil Jackson needs to change and needs to find other ways to release pressure on the inside line. If Gasol is defeated, the Lakers' inside line will face undefense.
At that time, don't think that Garnett and Chen Feng will let go of the ** basket. Those two crazy people may smash the rebound! Not to mention impossible, Chen Feng's heavy dunk just now made the basket almost deformed!
"Calm down, guys, the play just now is not bad. We are only three points behind, and one attack may be pulled back. So, don't take this into mind. It's just the end of the first quarter, and there are more than 30 minutes left. We will lead again. Don't think about other problems. I'll solve it. "
It is said that Phil Jackson is a psychological master. In fact, this old guy can only reduce the burden of others with a slow speed. It is not a magical way, but his calmness can infect others.
Although he can also feel the pressure on the North Shore Garden Arena at this time, he can still calmly relieve the emotional restlessness of the players.
If the backbone of the coach can be stabilized, the generals under his command may also calm down. Now the Lakers are like this. The mood that has just been disturbed by the impact of the Celtics has begun to calm down.
However, this does not mean that you can defeat your opponent by calmness. The "Zen master" needs to find a way to break the situation. If you want to regain the initiative, you always have to find a suitable key.
It's just that Bynum can only squat on the bench at this moment. The inside line is very suppressed. If you want to find the opponent's weakness, you can only do things in other directions. If you want to open up the situation within the three-point line, it is not realistic to expect a big man, but the "Zen master" still needs more auxiliary force to pull away the Celtic defense. Guard!
"Vladimir, you are going to replace Turiaf, but your task is not on the inside. I need you to have a wide range of activities on the periphery and try to drag the opponent's defense out of the inside!"
Turiaf, who just replaced Bynum, was directly replaced by Jackson with Ladmanovich. The bearded guy is a little tendoned if he is not tall, but it is not enough for Garnett and Chen Feng. This guy just scored a rebound in three minutes on the game, and he is available in the inside line. None.
Now Jackson is looking for a way to break the game, so he doesn't intend to let this guy continue to stay on the court as a hoodlums. Since the inside fight can't take advantage, he will send a big pitcher up!
Aren't you Celtics going to block the inside line!? Then I will prepare a big battery for you on the periphery!
Although Ladmanovic's attack has not reached the accuracy of the sky, there is such a big guy of two meters and eight wandering on the periphery. Does the Celtics' defense dare not follow?
Don't forget that the three-point shooting rate of Ladmanovic is at least more than 40%.
If there is no one to defend, this guy can really vote a few, but Jackson will not naively think that the last person can change the whole situation. He just wants to let Ladmanovich pull away the defense.
It's not to tear up the Celtics defense. He doesn't have that ability, but at least he has to attract a big guy from the inside line. It's better to drag him near the three-point line!
Space! What Jackson needs now is enough space. This is not the time when he blocked the three-second zone just now. Now, he wants to make the vicinity of the three-second zone a vacuum zone.
An area that allows people to enter freely! Because Jackson is holding the sharpest weapon in the palm of his hand!
As soon as the Lakers' substitution adjustment was put out, Rivers was still thinking that he could not be a prophet every time.
But the assault of the Purple and Gold Legion has begun! At the beginning of the second quarter, it was less than 30 seconds.
It was originally the Celtics' offensive time, but as soon as Pierce's side received the ball, Fisher and Kobe suddenly rushed up and surrounded! Before Pierce could react, Kobe slapped the basketball away.
The Lakers' subsequent advance speed was amazing. Fisher only slightly controlled the basketball and threw the basketball directly to the front court without any hesitation.
Kobe Bryant is already starting at high speed. Pierce and Ray Allen are chasing behind him, but after all, it is a step slower. He can only watch Kobe catch the ball without hindrance, take off the air, and split with one hand!
Pull back two points! The Lakers' attack speed is too fast! It's too late for the Celtics to defend, but this is not the only counterattack of the Purple and Gold!
Ray Allen turned back to the bottom line to serve, but Fisher shook in front of him. The "Gentleman's Sword" slipped his hand and was about to pass the ball to Weber, so he threw it out.
Turn around and break the ball! This time, Odom was finally not stunned, and his reaction was very fast. He turned back and waved his hand and directly slapped the basketball away!
Kobe's starting speed was like lightning at this time. Chen Feng's reaction was very fast, but Kobe was still the closest person to the basketball. Before the basketball rolled out of the bottom line, he grabbed the ball in his hand.
"Black Mamba" can't stop his footsteps at this time. Chen Feng just pasted it, but Kobe has moved. He took his right foot as the axis and slipped straight to the bottom line.
Chen Feng's card position failed to block Kobe's bottom line. He could only watch the guy complete an accurate backhand basket on the other side of the basket!
Twenty-one seconds! Four points in a row! A fierce black mamba has revealed its poisonous teeth! Give the Celtics a head-on blow!
Jackson's most ferocious weapon in his hand is now starting to shine his own dazzling light! On the floor of the North Shore Garden Arena, Kobe Bryant, carrying the No. 8 uniform, stared at his prey like a viper...
