Chapter 139
"Damn it, the Lakers' schedule is even worse than the Grizzlies'. They have just gone through 8 consecutive trips, and then they will be back-to-back. It's a crazy schedule." Gasol complained.

"Hahaha, Paul, you need to adapt to this, this is normal." Kobe is willing to face the difficulties, and there is no difficulty, so how can he look good?
"Stop complaining. On the plane, if you have the strength, you should take some rest." The old fish comforted his new teammate.

"It's so annoying. I haven't held a party for a long time. I really miss the summer time." Odom looked enjoying and missed the summer time.

Li Tian, ​​on the other hand, didn't join the discussion. He carefully watched the video of his game yesterday. According to Phil's arrangement, the team editor edited the video overnight and handed it to him before he boarded the plane.

At the same time, some optimization suggestions are also given, such as proper reclining when shooting and increasing the arc of the shot. Of course, these are not expected to be improved in a day, as long as they can be improved before the playoffs.

But because of the system on his back, Phil saw that he has a super learning ability, otherwise he would not have made such an arrangement, which is a bit anti-human.

I also carefully made a scouting report for Stoudemire. He will have a long time to defend Stoudemar. Before boarding the plane, he was told that he might also face O'Neal. This is MMP .

They all considered whether to tell Phil about this game that he might not be able to play due to his tight hips.

He didn't want to make his teammates laugh out loud, so he kept his thoughts in his heart after thinking about it.

After all, Li Tian still wants to try to match up with the former No. [-] center forward, but he definitely has no chance.

As soon as I got off the plane, I got a deal that shocked everyone.

This is another deal that changed the league structure after the Gasol and O'Neal deals.

On February 2008, 2, the Mavericks sent Harris, Diop, Iger, Van Horn, Hassel, two future first-round picks and $20 million in cash in exchange for Kidd, Allen and Wright.

It can be said that the Mavericks are taking a crazy gamble, sending away the future of the team and welcoming Kidd back to Dallas.

Cuban is taking a gamble. Everyone thinks that Kidd is old and there is not much fuel in the tank, but he still wants to take a gamble and try to see if he can spark with Dirk.

This transaction, if you look at it from the perspective of future generations, cannot be said to be a failed transaction. After all, Harris played at the All-Star level after arriving in the Nets, and Kidd contributed a lot when the Mavericks won the championship in 11. Dallas won a championship as it wished, and so did Kidd and Dirk, who won the only championship in their careers.

Mayfair was very angry when he saw the deal was completed. He knew that Kidd still had the strength of an All-Star, but he couldn't show it in the Nets. He was not suitable as a team leader, but he was very good as a point guard core.

This makes Phil have to doubt whether it is the return of the sharks or Kidd's return to the Mavericks.He feels that there are shadows of the league and Angie, just to prevent the Lakers from easily reaching the finals, and of course it is also to attract more fans' attention.

This game was designated as the focus of the game, and it was broadcast live across the United States. Of course, Sports 5 also broadcast the game live. It is still the end of the new year in China, and many fans are still enthusiastic about watching the game.

Every time Kobe and the Sharks face off, it attracts the attention of countless fans and celebrities.

"Barkley, which team do you think has the advantage in this game? You are a player who has experienced the OK combination, and you are more qualified to talk about this." Smith asked.

Smith diss Barkley without a trace.

"The tacit understanding between the Sharks and Nash has not yet been developed, and the running-in of the new Lakers looks better than the Suns; in addition, the Lakers are well-organized, and the bench has a good firepower output;
It’s just that Kobe fought with an injury. He only played 20 minutes in the last game, so he got a rest. O’Neal is one year older. In this game, the advantages are not so obvious, and it depends on the performance on the court. "Barkley's analysis was straightforward, and he hid a small note after speaking.

Seeing the small movements of his old friend, Smith didn't say anything.

In the away locker room, everyone is preparing for the game.

"Kobe, you should pay attention to your injuries; Paul should try to avoid too much physical confrontation with O'Neal at the basket, and you should use your footwork and flexibility to hit O'Neal;
Odom, you have to limit Stoudemar, keep an eye on him, and don't give him a chance to connect with Nash; Lee, you should also pay attention to defending Stoudemire and O'Neal when you come off the bench. "

Phil didn't make too many offensive arrangements. "At the beginning, we should play O'Neill more. His temper is not good enough, and his emotional control ability is not good enough, so if there is a chance, beat him down." Phil treats his former big disciple likewise Very ruthless, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.

In the ten minutes of pre-match arrangements, Phil was comprehensive, and the background of the champion coach was undoubtedly revealed.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams were at loggerheads.

Not only because of the contradiction of OK, the two teams are also favorable contenders for the first place in the Western Conference, so the victory of this game, in the key card game, the victory of such a game is very important, which is equivalent to the victory of two games .

Starting out, both teams improved their defense to playoff level.

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe led the starters and played a full game.

Kobe and O'Neal almost clashed several times.

The situation on the field was once tense, and the referee wielded his power at this time to try to avoid any fights.

Kobe has a very good touch, 5 of 5, but there were 3 turnovers. The team was 23 of 13. Under such a high-intensity defense, it can be said to be extremely efficient; Nash of the Suns was also 5 of 5, but the team's turnovers and There were more fouls, but the addition of O'Neal gave the team an advantage in rebounding.

After one quarter, the score came to 32-29, and the Lakers only established a 3-point lead.

Gasol and O'Neal fought at the basket and suffered a lot. The difference in weight and strength between the two was very large. Even so, Gasol also used flexible steps to limit O'Neal's scoring to 3 points.

"We played very well in the first quarter. Kobe, you lead the team to the bench next, continue to maintain this aggressive defense, don't give the opponent any chance, Lee must stare at Stoudemire at the basket, don't give him and The chance for Nash to connect."

Although O'Neal and Gasol had the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, they consumed a lot of energy. The Shark, who had entered his twilight years, was gaining weight infinitely, while his physical strength dropped a lot.

Li Tian patted his chest, it's really good that he doesn't have to face O'Neill.

"O'Neal is still old, and his dominance has dropped a lot." Barkley looked at the aging O'Neal and said with emotion.

"Yes, although Gasol is not as strong as the big shark, he has better footsteps and physical strength." People who have experienced the OK era will sigh that the shark is no longer that shark, showing his old age.

At the beginning of the game, Li Tian used his footsteps and hit a layup under the basket, which caught Stoudemire by surprise.

Stoudemire has competed with Yao Ming since he was a rookie, and has been competing with Yao Ming until now. However, Yao Ming has been suppressed by Yao Ming in the All-Star Game, and he has never become an All-Star starter.

He is always the rookie of the same class who is compared with Yao Ming, and he has always been the background board.

The team traded O'Neal again, which made his living environment in the interior even worse. In order to prove himself, he needs to play a dominant role when O'Neal is off the court and tell the management that I am the future of the team.

"Xie Te! Damn yellow-skinned monkey, wait for me." The more Xiaosi looked at Li Tian, ​​the more unhappy he felt, and the anger came from his heart.

Fighting again in another place, leaving Li Tian stuck behind him.

"Ball!" shouted for the ball.

When Nash heard Stoudemire asking for the ball, he was a little reluctant at first, but he still gave it to the basket.

"Rookie, wait to be blown away by me." Xiaosi also made a lot of dirty moves, and when he turned around, he wanted to use his big elbow to open the way.

After Kobe's "selfless" guidance in the past two days, his body is also bruised and purple, and he is no longer a rookie.

Facing the flying elbow, Li Tian raised his left hand to resist Stoudemire's right arm, and quietly slapped Stoudemire with his right hand, blocking the referee's line of sight with his body.

After half a year of Tai Chi practice, the application of the elbows has also become more pure and clear. When I touched the elbows, Stoudemire did not take advantage of it, and he still had some pain, and his waist was also slapped.

The shot was disturbed, and a piece of refined iron was sent out.

Taking advantage of the trend to grab the rebound, Farmar quickly went down and assisted Kobe to score a layup.

"Hahaha, Stoudemire is embarrassed in front of rookies. It's shameful. In recent years, he has been suppressed by Yao Ming. Now he can't even beat rookies. It's really going back." Barkley has never been optimistic about Stoudemire. As a former star of the sun, there is no love for the house.

"Damn it, didn't you see the referee? He made a small move." Stoudemire pointed at his waist and complained to the referee.

The referee was unmoved.

The head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni, also yelled from the sidelines, trying to put pressure on the referee.

Coincidentally, the referee pointed out that the arena was replaying the video of the attack just now.

"If you BB again, I'll give you a T." One sentence made Stoudemire so angry that Nash hurried up to pull Stoudemire away and said a few words of comfort.

A wave of 4-0 was played.

Nash received a pass from Barbosa. Barbosa has good speed and is known as the 'Brazilian Lightning'.

As the boss of the team, Nash must help Stoudemire get back the field. Even though he admires Li Tian very much, Stoudemire is not only a teammate, but also the main scorer of the team.

Stoudemire is a good player in the fast break, but his shortcomings are obvious in positional battles. The average height of the Lakers' substitutes is not high, and they can switch defenses wirelessly.

With a height advantage, unreasonable turnaround jump shots, even if he is tall and long, he can only interfere with shooting and cannot block shots. Stoudemire is unlucky and the basketball bounces out of the basket.

Li Tian turned around to control the rebound, and the Suns quickly returned to defense.

Kobe plays fast break with the ball.

Stoudemire, who missed the shot, could only look at the basket and began to have some doubts. Is this still his own basket?
D'Antoni saw that Stoudemire was locked up, so he could only replace O'Neal, and Stoudemire returned to the power forward position.

"Tianchao boy, you are too thin, I will blow you up." O'Neill provoked Li Tian when he came up, with an aggressive posture.

Just about to step forward, Kobe rushed over directly. "Fatty man, get the hell out of here."

"Cauliflower Snake, you can't do it, but I got 4 rings." O'Neill stretched out his hand and gestured 4.

Kobe was so angry, "I will build another dynasty, and I will definitely have more rings than you."

"Cauliflower Snake, I have 4 rings." O'Neill repeated a sentence.

Kobe repeated "I will build another dynasty, and I will definitely have more rings than you."

The two kept repeating this sentence on the court. I don't know if it was because of their low education, lack of more vocabulary, or other reasons.

But apparently Bryant was irritated by O'Neal.

Constantly killing the basket and making fouls.

O'Neal was also rushing for rebounds at the basket, but he didn't get a chance to attack. Li Tian was too flexible and cut off the connection between him and Nash.

Without Li Tian's defense, Stoudemire became active again.

The continuous basket attack was completed, slowly stabilizing the situation of the Suns.

Soon O'Neal received a third foul under Kobe's strong kill, and D'Antoni had to replace O'Neal again.

Li Tian, ​​who experienced the power of a shark, couldn't help complaining that this is really not a human job. With a weight of more than 100 kilograms, he has to face O'Neill who weighs more than 140 kilograms. The gap is too sour.

Xia Tian must gain weight, and now the defensive striker is still at a disadvantage in terms of weight.

Switching to Li Tian's defense, Stoudemire's arrogance was suppressed again.

"Hahaha, Shark is so shameless. Just now he used his big butt to bully a skinny rookie." Seeing O'Neill squeeze Li Tian away several times and grab a rebound, Barkley was overjoyed.

"I think if you go up, you may not perform as well as this rookie." Smith said.

"Impossible, he doesn't run as fast as me." Barkley suddenly sucked his stomach.

"Are you sure?" He glanced at Barkley's stomach and said.

The main force was replaced, and the Suns O'Neal was still off the court. D'Antoni had no plans to replace him on the court.O'Neal arrived, although the inside line has been strengthened, but the fast break has never been fought again. O'Neal can only run 10 points at most, so it's a fart. The regular season is okay, and he will be targeted by wireless in the playoffs. Just think about it.

D'Antoni was thinking about how to win this game. He made careful arrangements before the game, but he was still disrupted by sudden changes. O'Neal's consecutive fouls and the strength of the Lakers' bench, no one ah.

"O'Neal's joining has broken the original system of the Suns, and the new system has not yet been established. The Suns' game is suspended; on the other hand, the Lakers played very reasonably. The more important it is, in the last two quarters of the last game, Phil allowed him to shoot wirelessly, which is more than Kobe.” Director Zhang saw that Li Tian was playing better and better in the team, and the role he played was more important. Very pleased.

"Yes, I feel that Li Tian has recently developed the CIC skill. I have never seen him use the CIC before, and he will surprise the fans every once in a while." Yu Jia sighed.

"Yes, the Suns need to play more reasonably. They need to." Started to give advice to the lagging Suns.

After three quarters of hard work, the Lakers continued to maintain a 10-point lead. Because of foul trouble and lack of physical strength, O'Neal didn't play in the third quarter at all.

At the beginning of the decisive victory, Kobe once again led the bench.

Because of O'Neill's stimulation, the bloodthirsty Mamba only rested for 2 minutes.

"Li Tian's playing time began to increase, and the skier was gradually being replaced." Director Zhang said with a smile.

At the beginning, Barbosa assisted Grant Hill and made a mid-range shot.He was once the proud son of heaven, known as Jordan's successor, the one who defeated Jordan in the 1996 All-Star voting, but because of injuries, he is now slowly fading out of the All-Star ranks, and may fade out of the league at any time .

Kobe is more of a threat on the court, used to attract defense.

Under the strong defense of Barbosa, Farmar made a mistake, Stoudemire succeeded in stealing, and the Suns played a whirlwind fast break.

Hill made another layup.

How can Kobe, who is resting on the court, endure such consecutive loss of points.

"Ball!" roared.

Farmar obediently handed over the ball.

Facing Hill's defense, Kobe made three threats and began to test the attack with his right foot. Hill was easily swayed by Kobe and went straight to the basket.

"Di!"

The referee blows the whistle, and if the attack is effective, a penalty will be added.

At this moment, Kobe was full of kingly spirit.

"Kobe started to attack, it's very reasonable to play like this." Director Zhang said.

D'Antoni paced back and forth off the court, pondering exactly how to respond to the situation.

While thinking, the Lakers cooperated continuously.

D'Antoni called a timeout, "Nash, Shaq, you go on the court. Nash should do a good job of sorting out the team's offense and try to avoid being pulled out by Kobe for singles; Shaq, you have to tell everyone that Kobe who left you is nothing, you want to dominate the basketball team Down, no one can compete with you at the basket."

After the timeout, the two teams sent all the main players.

With 6 minutes left in the game, the score was 110-102.

Li Tian took the place of the skier and stayed on the field.

"The Sharks are going to dominate the game," O'Neal roared.

The shark that has recovered its physical strength is indeed a big killer.

O'Neal singled Gasol with the ball under the basket, was easily squeezed away, and scored a dunk.

'This is cheating. 'I couldn't help sighing, I finally knew why the management of Mosaic must ask Yao Ming to gain weight, which ordinary people can't resist.

Looking back, Kobe used the pick-and-roll to pull Nash out of the three-point line for singles.

Nash's defensive awareness is very good, but the power gap between the two is natural. Most people in the league play Nash singles, and they all have a strength advantage.

Break through directly, squeeze the defensive Nash, and go to the basket.

O'Neill quickly came over to make up the defense.

Kobe chose to pass the ball to the open Gasol under the basket with a high profile. Stoudemire was pulled out of the three-point line by Li Tian.

Gasol received the pass and scored a dunk. Although he didn't have O'Neal's domineering, the score was the same.

Looking back, Barbosa used his speed to directly pass Lao Yu who was defending him. Lao Yu's strength is very good, but in terms of speed, he will show a disadvantage when facing the speed linebacker.

"Cauliflower Snake, I will blow up your restricted area." O'Neal, who was walking back, said to Kobe.

Kobe ignored him and silently clenched his collar.

"Kobe is serious, O'Neal miscalculated, he shouldn't provoke Kobe." Barkley shouted.

Continue to forcefully kill the basket, but was interfered by O'Neal who came over from the supplementary defense.

"It's over!" O'Neill roared.

Li Tian grabbed the rebound and made a direct mid-range shot without any interference.

"But it still scored." Kobe gave O'Neill a white look.

The game action is getting bigger and bigger.

The cooperation between Nash and Stoudemire is quite tacit, and they also hit the basket.

The score came to 116-109.

O'Neal killed all directions at the basket, and Gasol's physical strength dropped significantly in order to defend O'Neal.

Phil frowned, it was too difficult to stop O'Neill.

Kobe continued to attack with the ball, and Nash began to become numb, and was pulled out by Kobe to whip his corpse every time.

Li Tian ran from the basket to the corner on the same side as Kobe, and passed between O'Neal and Gasol. Gasol blocked Stoudemire in front of him. O'Neal saw Li Tian and gave up defending.

Kobe also arrived at the ball, and Li Tian made a three-pointer.

O'Neal still played unreasonably singles at the basket. Even if he went up to defend, neither of them caught O'Neal.

"Di!"

The offense is valid, plus 1 penalty.

Watching O'Neal's free throw, I couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, O'Neal, who has a sense of humor all over his body, can make a free throw out of him.

The Lakers couldn't limit O'Neal's basket, and the Suns couldn't limit Kobe's breakthrough points either.

The two teams completely exploded each other, but time was on the Lakers' side. With 1 minute left, the Lakers continued to maintain a 7-point lead.

The sun pauses.

125-118.

In the last minute, the Suns took the lead in attacking. If this attack fails, then failure is doomed.

"Paul, Lee, don't pinch O'Neal. Lee goes outside, and the inside leaves enough space for O'Neal to attack, but try to delay their shots." Phil chose to let the opponent score 2 points,
Nash held the ball and faced Kobe's defense. At the critical moment, he didn't even have a chance to score the ball.

Call Stoudemire over the high pick-and-roll.

Li Tian switched defenses against Nash.

After trying several breakthroughs, Nash found that Li Tian was taller, but his speed was not weaker than him.

With 10 seconds left in the attack time, Barbosa was used to cover again and finally got a chance to score the ball. Gasol tried to stick to O'Neal as much as possible, but there was still a huge gap in strength, and O'Neal received the ball.

Pau Gasol succeeded and scored two more points.
