Chapter 263 Tyranny

Chen Feng didn't know what Rivers and Thibodeau planned. Anyway, the five minutes he asked for had been given. He didn't intend to really be beaten by his opponent at the home court of the Lakers.

Phil Jackson really, as Rivers and Thibodeau estimated, did not make any changes after seeing the personnel adjustment of the Celtics, but still used his starting five.

The "Zen master" who has been playing in the NBA for so many years has not considered so many things, but he thinks that the team's attack is hot, and there is really no need to adjust.

Although there are still five minutes to end the second quarter, according to Phil Jackson's steady character, he doesn't mind that the team can pull the score away during this period and cause some trouble for the opponent.

Now the team's weak lead is not reliable, so it's better to let Kobe continue to dominate the game.

Anyway, the team's hand is very smooth now. If Kobe can continue to score so well, it may not be a delusion to defeat his opponent. If he can defeat the Celtics, it is also a good thing for the Lakers' ranking in the West.

Phil Jackson's reaction to the kindness and resentment between the two teams is not so much. After all, he also lives in the NBA, and he can't make a grudge because of the team's relationship.

In fact, it is not only the "Zen master" who thinks so. When the coaches of many teams are in place, they rarely have a grudge against other teams. At most, they are not at odds with the other team's coach, and rarely attack the team.

The NBA is such a big circle. Today you are the head coach of this team. Maybe you will go to another team next season. Instead of being a character coach, it is better to be a good man.

However, Phil Jackson wants to win. After all, this is his second entry into the Lakers. The first time he has won three consecutive championships, and the second time he leaves here with empty hands, it will not be a glorious thing.

Now the strength of the Lakers may not be enough to hit the championship, but at least he is the ace coach with nine championship rings. Another defeat in last year's playoffs is not good-looking.

"Keep putting pressure on the opponent on the attack, use more breakthroughs to find the entry point, and make their defense chaotic. They have replaced the three main forces. We should make good use of this and try to widen the score gap."

Phil Jackson didn't talk much when he was conducting on the spot, but his arrangement was very direct.

"K Kobe, when you break through, you have to be more determined. Their defensive strength is declining, and the initiative should be in our hands." At this time, Phil Jackson trusted his trump card more.

The previous game was when Kobe Bryant took over. After the substitution of the Celtics, Phil Jackson asked his number one killer to be more radical, and it would be better to continue the momentum.

Kobe doesn't say much. He is more used to doing everything with practical actions, just like he just did.

"Open up their defensive space, make more use of breakthroughs, and don't give them a chance to shrink back." Phil Jackson's arrangement is actually not difficult to understand. He just wants to defeat the Celtics' defense in one fell swoop.

Anyway, the Celtics are still replaced by three substitutes. Although Weber's level is not worse than Jefferson's, after all, he is no longer the superstar he used to be.

Tony Allen and Szebiak are far inferior to Pierce and Sprewell. In the desperate fight just now, the Lakers can hold the Celtics, and now there is no reason not to completely defeat the opponent's defense.

Although everything on the court is changing rapidly and Phil Jackson can't decide everything, he is now going to let Kobe dominate everything and try to give the opponent a head-on blow before the end of the second quarter.

Rivers' substitution adjustment seemed to be a last resort, so Phil Jackson planned to take advantage of this forced change and let the other side see that his rotation lineup was defeated.

It can be said that Phil Jackson is old enough. He dares to sacrifice a little rest time of the main players in exchange for a continued lead in the score, and even expects to defeat the Celtics' defense in these five minutes.

This idea is really good, and the Lakers' attack as soon as Phil Jackson expected. Kobe's cut after receiving the pass really made Tony Allen very embarrassed on the defensive end.

In fact, Tony Allen's defensive skills are also a little famous in the East. Even in the Celtics, it is second only to the old deep-fried Spreville. His defense is not only resilient, but also very desperate.

But this time he met Kobe, a guy who made Spreville helpless, so as soon as the two bumped into each other, Tony Allen lost his center of gravity by a beautiful fake move by Kobe.

This is the absolute one-on-one duel. Kobe lingered near the three-point line with the ball, and Tony Allen had already pasted it very tightly. As a result, Kobe dribbled the ball, and then changed his hand and suddenly started to accelerate.

It's really a matter of an instant. Although Kobe's breakthrough is not as fast as Iverson, this guy's center of gravity change and coordination are indeed very strong, and he has a complete advantage in starting after changing hands.

Tony Allen is not an unintentional defense against Kobe Bryant, but just this kind of simple confrontation of personal ability. He really can't keep up with the breakthrough of the Lakers' number one killer, and can only watch his opponent wipe it from his side.

Unless Tony Allen can do it hard to give the other party something behind his back, he really can't stop Kobe Bryant, and even if he wants to foul, it's too late to do it.

Weber's horizontal card speed is not slow, but Kobe's cutting speed is faster, electric flint, starting from outside the three-point line to this guy from a 45-degree angle into the three-second zone, only using only three steps.

When Weber's hands were open, he could no longer block Kobe's shooting angle. What's more, the guy still stopped the jump shot. At the moment he cut into the three-second zone, he jumped up and shot steadily.

"Wh!", clear voice, steady hit, can still maintain such a stable hand shape after high-speed start, Weber has nothing to complain about, he can only shrug his shoulders at Tony Allen to show his helplessness.

And Tony Allen can only spread his hands with an angry expression. He tried his best, but he really has no good way for such a natural scoring freaholic. It's really not difficult to stop the other party.

"Look at the current state between Kobe and O'Neal, it's not difficult for me to understand why the Lakers bet on this guy in the future. His offensive desire is simply stronger than Michael."

Rivers watched Kobe complete such a performance, and he had nothing to say. After all, he wanted to block Kobe's scorer. It was not a task that could be completed by one person. Tony Allen's level was not enough.

"If the Lakers can have a few good deals, maybe they can regain their power in three consecutive championships in a year or two. Kobe's scoring ability is really too strong. I guess Tony will be very depressed."

Sieberdeau can only express his helplessness about Kobe's one-on-one ability. Tony Allen came out by himself. He knows the boy's level well, so he knows that such a defense will be very difficult.

"I don't expect Kobe to be locked up. When the other guys are, they must not let them live!"

Rivers knew that blocking Kobe's score would definitely be a failure, so he didn't plan to hold Kobe from the beginning, but the other guys, his request was to step on me to death!

Tony Allen has nothing to say about the fact that he has been broken through by Kobe. After all, there are few people in the whole league who can really lock the "black mamba" on the defensive end.

Maybe in addition to Sanye Bao's black feet and Laga Bell's throat lock, the general means to deal with Kobe are really ineffective. Tony Allen does not expect that he can immediately turn into a superman wearing underwear.

However, it was the hot atmosphere of the Staples Arena that was detonated by the opponent. The live DJ began to madly incite the fans to shout as if to prove how idiot Rivers' substitution was.

"Let's defeat Boston! Kick this guy who is looking for trouble from Los Angeles!"

This highly inflammatory leading slogan is enough to make those big stars sitting in the front row start raising their hands to cheer for the Lakers, not to mention the loyal fans in the stands.

What could be more enjoyable than watching your old enemy get kicked on the floor?

Anyway, the Lakers fans didn't expect it. They were all shouting for Kobe's fierce performance. The sound was almost to lift the roof of the Staples Arena. At this moment, the Los Angeles fans were very crazy. These guys were shouting to the Celtics' bench and releasing their anger. Roar.

"Damn Bostonians! Go back to your territory! This is no longer the era when you are king and hegemony! Look, we will trample you under your feet! Let you know what it feels like to lose the game!"

In the face of such shouts and provocations, Pierce and the others couldn't sit still on the sidelines. If Rivers hadn't signaled them to rest, maybe these guys would have jumped on the stage with high requirements.

"Trust your teammates and believe that they can do all this. Your task is to rest. Use these five minutes and the ten minutes of the halftime break to recover your physical energy as much as possible and beat them hard in the next two quarters! Let these guys swallow all the nonsense shouted out to me honestly!" Rivers did not respond to those noisy voices, but warned his team members in a low voice.

Victory does not come from roaring. Since the Lakers fans like to express their strength in this way, let them roar wantonly. Rivers hopes that they will regret being happy so early.

The gap of six points is not too big, but it is enough for Phil Jackson to look forward to widening the gap to double digits before the end of the second quarter. It depends on Kobe's hot feel. It's completely possible.

If a double-digit lead can be guaranteed, Phil Jackson will be confident of spending time with the Celtics, even if adjustments are made in the last two quarters. After all, this is playing in front of the Lakers.

"Scoring two more goals to prevent the opponent's attack, maybe the initiative will be in our hands." Zen master is also calculating the trend of the game in his mind. Although it may not be as he wants, the situation should be controlled.

As long as he can tear open the opponent's defense and let the scoring momentum continue, Phil Jackson is fully confident that he will lead the Celtics' nose in this confrontation, or even lock in the victory as soon as possible.

At least, Phil Jackson wants Rivers to pay a heavy price for his substitution decision, so that the fat guy who has just entered the industry for a few years knows that the opportunistic decision is very stupid in front of the Zen master.

However, Phil Jackson's thinking here is not over yet. As soon as the Lakers retreated near their three-point line, they found that the Celtics' attack had suddenly changed, especially Bynum, who was completely stunned.

Previously, Rondo used to control the ball, and then used his own pass to tear off the defense, or used the high cover of Jefferson and Chen Feng to create an opportunity to break in, either to score the ball from the bottom line, or find the offensive fulcrum outside the three-point line, or directly use the inside attack to break the Lakers' entanglement on the defensive end. .

No matter how he plays, Rondo is the starting point. He just chooses how to attack according to the situation on the field, but Kobe just finished the score. When it was the turn of the Celtics to attack, everyone was stunned.

Rondo did not control the ball. He even served on the bottom line and only became a transitioner. He passed the ball directly to the three-point line after half-time, and he cut in empty-handed and slipped through to the bottom line.

"Nima! What is this going on!?" If Bynum has time to ask, he must really want to ask the guy in front of him, what the hell are you doing!? Do you want to change your job as a defender!?

Not to mention that Bynum is going to ask this. Maybe most of the people present will roar like this, because they are all looking at the guy holding the basketball outside the three-point line. It turned out to be Chen Feng!

Cover? Does he have such a cover? No one around was running, and he stood straight outside the three-point line and grabbed the ball with one hand. The guy lowered his center of gravity and didn't seem to be covering at all.

Chen Feng played singles with the ball in the first and second quarters, but most of the time he was done in the three-second zone. He has never put on an attack position so far from the basket.

"Open the gap?" This was Phil Jackson's first reaction. After all, Webb came on the field. He subconsciously thought that Chen Feng was creating a scoring opportunity for Webb and deliberately pulled Bynum out of the basket.

It is estimated that there are not a few people who have this idea. Even if Chen Feng's behavior doesn't look like passing the ball, most people think that this boy is shaky and creating a scoring opportunity for the insider.

Only Hammond, who was watching the game in Boston, said to Takanien, "Believe me, Jerry, no matter what you see next, don't be surprised, because I've already smelled the boy's crazy."

"You don't want to tell me..., is that the boy going to fight like this?" Although Takanian and Chen Feng are together all day long, he still can't guess how hard the boy can be most of the time.

"You'll see. All I can say is that the big man opposite him is definitely in trouble."

Hammond now looks at Bynum's expression is absolutely full of sympathy, because this old ruffian on the streets of New York knows very well what Chen Feng is going to do, and that boy is definitely not just going crazy.

Passing the ball? Cover? Bynum can't know what others think of the confrontation between him and Chen Feng. Anyway, when he was still thinking about what Chen Feng was going to do, the guy opposite had already moved!

Pass? Pass on your sister! Chen Feng lowered his body to attack. Even if Weber could get stuck at this time, he would never pass the basketball in his hand. This was because he had said hello to Rondo before serving.

Rivers can leave these few minutes of attack to him to control, so it will be more thorough. Chen Feng doesn't want to waste such an opportunity. Even if it will make others see that he is a little arbitrary, it doesn't matter.

When fighting with others on the street, you absolutely don't need to think too much about it. Only putting the basketball into the basket is the most practical. Even if you don't trust your teammates enough, it won't prevent you from rewriting the score.

Most of the people who came out of the street are lone wolves, like Marbury, like Iverson. Similarly, Hammond was able to score with "Dr. J" Owen, relying on such a super strong and unreasonable scoring ability. Chen Feng's ability to sweep all the courts in Texas depends on more than just a barbarians. Force.

"No, I don't really want to climb back here, so just get out of here!"

Kobe's super scoring ability aroused not only the fierce counterattack of the Lakers, but also activated the fierceness of a wild boy hiding in his heart. Chen Feng really had a shocking performance.

Few people have thought about what a guy who fights on the inside can do when he suddenly pulls to the outside, but everyone present soon understands what kind of impact such a move can bring.

When Chen Feng lowered his body and suddenly started, some people even doubted whether he was wrong, Nima! It's like a defender holding the ball and playing singles, actually starting outside the three-point line!

Bynum's physique is a big man in the NBA, but he was actually squeezed away by the strong force when Chen Feng started holding the ball, which was almost a face-to-face effort. Chen Feng had wiped it away from his side. The fierce impact almost made Bynum's chest heavy. One blow.

Hard resistance! It is completely a crushing breakthrough. Although Chen Feng's speed cannot be compared with those defenders who move as fast as lightning, Bynum's horizontal movement is more difficult, and Chen Feng's impact is more powerful.

is a first step, which is enough to make Chen Feng burst out his strength after his whole body is tense. He hit Bynum's card position in a face-to-face breakthrough, and the whole connection process is like a strong wind.

The wind passes by, which is the patent of the front guard swinger, but when you face a hurricane, I'm afraid everyone will forget to close their mouths and stare at the sudden outbreak of this ferocious scene.

The originally stable defense collapsed at this moment, and a crazy knife split a gap from the middle road and pierced into the heart of the Lakers fiercely...
