Chapter 8 This is the gap

Of course, Zeng Yi's current status in the Lakers is far less than that of Huang Jun's current knighthood. It can be said that there is no doubt about this. The status is clear at a glance.

Although there is a great disparity in status, Zeng Yi's performance has also been recognized. As long as it goes on, it will be a stable performance. Naturally, the status rises, so everything still needs to come slowly and can't be rushed.

During the half-time break, in the Lakers' locker room, after the head coach arranged the tactics, Kobe looked at Zeng Yu and said, "Zeng, your performance is very good. I know that my presence has completely affected you, which shows that there is still a very big problem with our tacit understanding, but this is not a problem. I believe me. We will be fine in the future"

Seeing what Zeng Yu wanted to say, Kobe continued, "In the next game, if you think you have a good opportunity to attack, don't have any concerns. Whether I am present or not, as long as it is a good opportunity, you can choose to attack. If you rely on me to attack, then I will be tired."

Kobe's words are undoubtedly equivalent to a gold medal, which can also be said to be a recognition of Zeng Yi. Zeng Yi is very happy about this. He knows that his performance is very important next, and he must prove himself in front of Kobe Bryant, whether for his future team status or for his trust in Kobe Bryant. He played well in the next game.

"Kebie, thank you, thank you for your trust in me. I will not let you down," Zeng Yi said.

Kobe just smiled at this and didn't say much.

The second half of the game began soon. The players on both sides have come to the court at this time, preparing for the next game. The second half is the real game, and the first half is just a prelude.

Huang Jun slowly held the ball through the half-time. After half-time, he used the cover of his teammates to successfully hold the ball to the basket. In the face of Bynum's defense, Huang Jun didn't care at all and was not afraid.

Huang Jun jumped high in front of Bynum and jumped high in front of Bynum, which was equivalent to ignoring Bynum's defense. Seeing this, Bynum was very annoyed and jumped high in anger, ready to fight with Huang Jun physically.

Huang Jun saw that Bynum jumped up and was ready to hit himself. In this moment of the thousand army, Huang Jun slanted his body up, most of which dodged Bynum's body. Then he was not afraid of the impact of Bynum's collision, and directly chose to throw the ball out. At the same time, Huang Jun landed in a straight line.

fell on the floor, but the fall was not very heavy. In addition, Huang Jun deliberately protected his body, so Huang Jun had nothing to do after falling to the ground, and Huang Jun did not forget to turn his eyes to the basket to see if he could score.

Because Bynum did not have any movements in the air and his body was very vertical, the referee did not make an additional foul, which made the Cavaliers' players and the head coach a little dissatisfied. They were dissatisfied with whether the other party had any movements. They jumped up in front of the little man and fought against the little man, but they still had to blow the foul.

However, the referee insisted on their original judgment, and they had no choice but to accept it. If it goes on, it is estimated that the referee will give them a technical foul, which is not worth the loss.

Fortunately, Huang Jun scored a very beautiful and difficult goal. Bynum had no choice but to do so. He thought that his defense had done a very well, but the opponent still hit it. What else could he do but helpless about it?

Huang Jun's layup also gave a comfort to the head coach of the somewhat dissatisfied Cavaliers player.

Back to the Lakers, Kobe and Zeng Yi completed a very beautiful cooperation, and Kobe also did what he said in the midfield locker room, that is, to let Zeng Yi participate in the team's attack, especially when he was present.

Kobe Bryant, who held the ball, forcibly broke through and attracted the attention of the vast majority of the Cavaliers' players. After passing the ball to Zeng Yu, who was slightly empty on the outside line.

Zeng Yi, who received the ball, dribbled the ball directly, and then made a mid-range jump shot, brushing, and the ball entered the net perfectly.

The Cavaliers have just successfully overtook the score, and Zeng's ball helped the Lakers overtake the score again.

Next, the Cavaliers' side is the perfect cooperation between James and Huang Jun, and the Lakers also began the cooperation between Zeng and Kobe, completely throwing the team's main tactical triangle attack aside, which made Jackson, who was watching the game on the sidelines, not know whether it should be happy or sad. After all, he still very hopeful for Kobe and Zeng's cooperation. What he saw was that they did not follow the tactics arranged at half-time, which made him feel that his majesty had been challenged.

In the next few minutes, the two sides have been like this, as if they want to compete for someone's beautiful cooperation. They have been spending all the time in cooperation, and the object of cooperation has always been two people, and the other three people have been completely ignored.

Four minutes after the third quarter, Phil Jackson, the head coach of the Lakers, finally couldn't stand it and called a timeout. Looking at the game on the court, he really couldn't stand it.

The score on the court was 70 to 65. The Cavaliers successfully overtook the score and led the opponent by five points. With the cooperation of Huang Jun and James, the Cavaliers completely suppressed the cooperation between Kobe and Zeng Qi. After all, the latter combination is still in the running-in. Compared with the Cavaliers, it is obviously not tacit enough, and it is okay to fall behind. That's what's expected.

And the timeout of the Lakers can also be said to be very timely. During this period, Kobe's eyes and Zeng's eyes were each other, completely forgetting the team's twin towers. As for that Ariza, forget it.

During this period, Gasol and Bynum asked for the ball one after another, but Kobe and Zeng Yi saw it and chose to ignore it. This is what made Jackson very dissatisfied. You should know that the twin towers were about to be in position, and the inside of the Cavaliers was very weak. Instead of passing to them, they chose each other, and finally took over and did not score. This How to keep Jackson from being angry?

And the knight was very happy, and the other party's way of playing was completely out of their surprise, but Brown thought that this was Kobe's own reason. He saw that James and Huang Jun cooperated so well, so he also cooperated with Zeng Hao. Did he want to tell James that I can do what you can do, and I can You can't do it?

"Kebie, Zeng, what's the matter with you two? Why don't you pass the ball to them when the inside double towers are in position and the opportunity is very good? Can you tell me what's going on? And now the team is five points behind, which is completely caused by you. Haven't you noticed it, or haven't you woken up yet? Jackson criticized with a gloomy face that even if Kobe was the boss of the team, he was not afraid at all.

Once because Phil Jackson and Kobe couldn't get along with each other, Jackson left the Lakers. After that, the Lakers' record can be said to be very bad. At this time, the Lakers understood Jackson's role, so they invited Jackson back again.

So if any coach has just criticized Kobe, there is only Phil Jackson. If other coaches coach Kobe, it is too late to flatter him. How dare they criticize him? Unless that man doesn't want to stay with the Lakers.

"Coach, it's true that we don't play well. We will return to normal in the next game. Just now, it was my fault that I wanted to compare with James, so I gradually lost control. The coach's timeout and admonition can be said to be very timely, otherwise I don't know how many points behind we will be next." At that time, the ratio said first that for him, it was wrong. There was nothing to ask for face, so he didn't admit it.

At this time, Zeng Yu also said, "Coach, it's not Kobe's fault. It's mine. As an organizational defender of the team, I didn't fulfill my responsibility to organize the team, resulting in five points behind from the lead to the present. My responsibility is the greatest. Kobe just wants to cooperate with me better and better."

Zeng Yan took the initiative to take all the responsibility on himself. When Kobe saw what he wanted to say, he was directly interrupted by Phil Jackson. "Now it's not about who is right and who is wrong. I hope you can take the Lakers to the normal track in the next game. Don't deviate from the track like just now. With"

After listening to Jackson's words, Kobe and Zeng nodded at the same time, indicating that they knew.

"Ha ha, Barkley, this Lakers is really interesting. It's completely playing indiscriminately, but Jackson is powerful enough to dare to teach Kobe a lesson rudely in front of so many people. However, Kobe Bryant has accepted it. It seems that he has made a mistake. This is still the one we are familiar with. Is it Kobe?" Smith said with a smile.

"Ha ha, Smith, in fact, Kobe is very good. I appreciate him very much. You see that he has talent and has become a superstar, but his training has never stopped. It is still so crazy. This is what a superstar should have. Look at McGrady. McGrady's talent can be said to be He is the first in active service, but his efforts are not enough. It's a pity. Barkley said helplessly that his hopes for McGrady were still very big, but McGrady's attitude really disappointed him. Obviously, he was so talented, but he didn't cherish it.

Smith still agrees with Barkley's words.

The game is back on the field.

The Cavaliers replaced Ilgoska, who did not have a good defense, with Asik, who performed very well in this game. In addition to Asik, he also replaced Szebiak, who replaced Landry, who also performed equally well in this game. The Cavaliers removed both starting inside lines.

The replacement of Szebiak is undoubtedly to improve the team's outside ability, focusing on the outside line.
