Chapter 123 Zeng's words
The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half. In the half, the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 63 to 58. Under the leadership of Kobe's crazy play, the Lakers were only five points ahead. Originally, it was eight points ahead, but then the point difference was only five points in the counterattack of the Cavaliers' main players. Such a difference is acceptable.
"Is the half-time over? It's really a pity." The sweaty Kobe looked at the score on the scoreboard and muttered in a low voice, and the score difference was completely beyond his expectation. Originally, I saw that the first quarter was eight points ahead, but in the second quarter, I wanted to make more efforts to pull the difference to more than ten points. But the current score, obviously...
"Forget it, it's better to lead than to fall behind, right? The victory of this game will definitely belong to us, the Lakers. Even if you don't beat them in the second half, you have to keep it and don't let the net win more than four points on your side. Then Kobe went straight off the court. This game still consumed him a lot. He played half of the game, and he was doing it alone on the offensive end. Can he not be tired? Now he has to use the half-time break to recover his physical fitness in preparation for the second half of the game.
In the Lakers locker room, all the players did not have any happy and relaxed smiles on their faces, because they knew that there was still half a half of the game. In this half, the five-point difference is not a thing at all in the eyes of the Cavaliers. It's just that they can't help it. They also want to help their boss Kobe in the first half, but Kobe doesn't need their help at all. It should be said that Kobe doesn't trust them at all. The result of trusting them is the result of the first two games.
Zeng Qi looked at Kobe, who was still out of breath. After thinking about it, he finally summoned up the courage to walk to the place where Kobe was. In the first half of the game, he got the right under Kobe, with eight points and six assists. This proves that Kobe still trusts him, and he still knows how important the game is, so he feels it necessary to say something and do something for the game.
"Kebie, are you all right?" Zeng Qi said that he still admired Kobe very much, not only a key gentleman. He is also a good person off the field. He doesn't know about others, but he knows that Kobe is very good to him. The reason why he can make so much progress is that Kobe's guidance is very critical. He trains with Kobe almost every day. During the training, Kobe not only teaches him skills, but also some experience in the competition and some unknown anecdotes.
"It's okay, at least there won't be any problems in the third section, but the key fourth section is not known." Kobe thought for a moment and said that he was still very clear about his physical condition. He knew that this was the finals, not the regular season. He has to attack and defend at the same time, and it is still the finals. Even the Iron Man will plummet in the end.
"Kebie, I think you should trust your teammates. You also know that if it goes on like this, you may not be able to hold on to the whole game, even if you stick to it. Then in the end, the feel will be the worst, and the other party will also wrap you up. They are sure that you will keep playing singles. In this way, your physical energy consumption is even greater. This game needs you, and you are absolutely needed at the critical moment. Zeng Ji paused and said, "So for the victory of this game, I hope you can trust your teammates. Let him go if he lost the first two games.
"Trust your teammates?" After listening to his teammates, Kobe thought about it for a moment, and finally said, "I have always believed in my teammates very much, but... Well, I will do it in the second half, and the team's organizational attack will be handed over to you in the second half. But you only have time to prove yourself in the third section. If you are not in good shape in the third quarter, then I will still take over the game in the fourth quarter and take over completely. After saying this, Kobe rested directly.
Zeng Wei smiled, turned to his other teammates and said, "Did you hear me? In the second half, we will show the strength of our Western champion. Everyone knows the importance of this game.
Everyone nodded, and they naturally knew the importance of the game.
Phil Jackson looked at Zeng with satisfaction. It's really good. At this time, I'm afraid you're the only one who dares to stand up and talk to Kobe like this, right? It seems that Kobe really values you and trusts you very much. Then Phil Jackson didn't say anything and picked up the tactical board to arrange the tactics of the second half. The tactics of the first half can be said to be no. It is completely to give the ball to Kobe and let him play singles, but the next second half is different.
On the side of the knight's locker room, everyone's faces are not so good-looking. After all, they are the ones who fell behind at the end of the first half. If you are in a good mood, then it's not the Cavaliers. Although they believe that they can catch up in the second half, the five-point difference is not something, but if the other side is like this, they will not think that the five-point difference is difficult for them. So they must play better than the Lakers in the second half.
Brown looked at the crowd and said slowly, "I don't think I need to say anything more about the second half of the game. You know how important it is, right? This game is a very important one for the Lakers. The Lakers are very good at playing key games. Don't let their shooting guard Kobe. The more critical the moment, the stronger Kobe will be. They don't have much way out in this game. If they don't fight, they will really get to the edge of the cliff.
"Next, I guess the Lakers will not always play Kobe's singles. Kobe's physical fitness is a problem. He was very tired in the first half. How horrible is it to get 40 points in the first half of the game? At the same time, the physical consumption is also very serious. If I were the head coach of the other team, then I would advise him not to choose to single out the other team alone in the third quarter. Because they have to save Kobe's last physical fitness in the last key game.
"To be honest, I can't do anything about Kobe. Kobe is the kind of player who is the most difficult to defend. However, no matter how difficult it is, we have to defend it. Next, we choose to keep a target. Kobe doesn't want to take the ball, just defend him alone. I want Kobe to play singles, so that his last bit of physical fitness will be consumed. On the offensive end, it is handed over to Huang's hand and let him organize the team. Whoever he passes to, as long as there is a point guard, he can choose to shoot. Detailed layout, look at the tactics.
Then Brown picked up the tactical board and carefully arranged the tactics of the second half. This game made him feel great pressure, which was comparable to the pressure of the first two kills. You know, it's just the first half now. It's all because of Kobe. Kobe's performance in the first half of this game was really terrible. In the half-time, under the defense of their knights, there were countless bags, but even so, they still couldn't stop Kobe from scoring. It's really horrible. This is the finals, and it's the Cavaliers, not the Raptors.
"Did Kobe go for eighty-one points today? Does he want to break his own scoring record? In the stands, a fan said that Kobe's outbreak in this game made him full of blood. He is a loyal Lakers fan and a Kobe fan. Before this game, he was very dissatisfied with the Lakers' performance and lost two games in a row. As a Lakers fan, how could he accept such a Lakers?
And the performance of this game gave him hope and his team's hope of reversing the Cavaliers. Who can guard against Kobe like this? If it is always like this, then the final victory of this game must belong to the Lakers.
"Ha ha, is it 80 points? This is very difficult, and it is not so difficult. But I don't know if I can get 80 points, but I know that Kobe's score will definitely break 50 points in this game. As for 60 points, it depends on the Cavaliers' defense. In the second half of the game, their defense will definitely be very targeted. As long as Kobe gets the ball, he may go to the bag. So if you want to get 80 points, it's difficult...
"This game is really wonderful. The first half is so wonderful. What about the second half?" Barkley said, "Is Kobe going against the sky? However, it is also very difficult for such a basketball to win the game. He never believed that a person's basketball could beat a team. Even Jordan is no exception. If that's okay, it's impossible for Iverson to never have a championship.
"Hehe, the second half of the game is more exciting. But I guess the Lakers will never play like this in the second half. Not to mention Kobe's physical consumption, even Phil can't tolerate it. Although Kobe's performance in the first half was excellent, it was a game without any tactics at all, and such a game was not what the head coach wanted at all. Although Kobe Bryant is the absolute core of this team, even so, the head coach of any team will be very unhappy in such a situation. Smith said aside.
With the referee's whistle falling, the second half of the game also began, and the players from both sides have come to the field one after another.
Huang Jun looked at Kobe Bryant, who felt a little different at this time, and said to Zeng Yan beside him, "It seems that Kobe has temporarily put down the meaning of singles. I think this should be your credit, right? If it's not your credit, then it's Phil's credit. But I think this possibility is very small. If Kobe is persuaded to watch it, the first half of the game will not be like this.
