Chapter 489 Kobe: I Don't Pretend

When Adelman heard that Li Tian might not be able to play in the next few games, his heart was filled with ecstasy. The Lakers' perimeter defense was finally no longer so unbreakable.

He agrees with Ariza's defense and three-pointers, but compared with Li Tian, ​​he is not so strong.This is their opportunity, this is their opportunity to overtake the score. Before he returns from injury, he can either win three games in a row, or drag the game to the tiebreaker. In that case, where will the balance of victory fall? But it is an unknown number.

The more I think about it, the happier I am. The Lakers lack Li Tian, ​​so Artest will be liberated.The team will add an outside offensive end. Although the outside line cannot be ostentatiously centered, it can increase the right to shoot outside. Even if Yao Ming opposes it, Artest may not support Yao Ming at this time.

Originally, I thought that there would definitely be a split.

Adelman started a new tactical layout, but also thinking, if clever, let the players obey their own arrangements.

******
In the hotel where the Lakers live, in Phil's room, in addition to the coaching staff, there are Kobe, Li Tian and Gasol.

"Li, you need at least a week, so you will definitely be absent for the next two games!"

The league conducted a detailed concussion examination on Li Tian, ​​and the result was a slight concussion, and he would miss at least two games.

"Yes, I'm sorry for being injured at this time, how should we fight next?" The point of everyone's entanglement is definitely not the injury, but how to fight next, Li Tian directly brought the topic to the topic.

"Phil, I think next time, I should recover, right?" He was restricted on the offensive end for several consecutive rounds of the series. In the second half of the last game, he suddenly found that he almost didn't know how to attack.

To his incomparable surprise, the former No. 1 league had a problem in terms of offense.After the game, he pulled Sun Yue and Gasol and practiced for a long time. Today, he finally found himself again.

"No problem, if Lee hadn't been injured, I wouldn't have given up to losing a game, but right now, we've got to change our game quickly, catch them off guard, bring the game back to L.A., and send Mosaic out of the playoffs. !" Phil said loudly, and he also hoped to end the game early, because if it drags on for a long time, it will have too much impact on the Lakers.

"Okay!" Kobe was obviously a little excited. For more than ten games, he has been suppressing the desire to attack, which is indeed a bit painful.

"Center position, do we need to make changes? Bynum has been proven that he can't limit Yao's performance. How should the team respond next!"

This is a very important point. If Yao Ming's performance can be restricted, Mosaic's outside line is nothing to worry about. They only need to strengthen their defense and use oppressive defense. If the opponent wants to attack through the outside line, there is no hope.

Hearing Li Tian's words, Phil was thoughtful.

After a moment of contemplation.

"Put Bynum on the bench, Pau Gasol at the center, Odom and Ariza at the starting position at the same time, and the arrangement of other personnel remains unchanged!" Phil said his thoughts, which were after his deliberation As a result, putting Bynum on the bench has long been an idea in his mind.

Li Tian was injured suddenly, which disrupted all his plans, but he had to accept it at this time. The answer given by the team doctor was very clear, he could play in the tiebreaker of this round of the series.

Phil will not force him to play at this time. After all, with the current lineup, if Mosaic cannot win a game, it will prove that even if Li Tian plays with an injury, it will be difficult to win the game.

Simple arrangements and layouts were made. In this way, the coaching staff and the three important players in the team decided on the next game, the team's starting lineup and tactical arrangements.

"Kobe, train hard, the next game will depend on your performance!" Li Tian patted Kobe on the shoulder and said, as if he was telling his younger brother to do things.

"Damn it, I'm the boss of the team!" Kobe smiled, his face was a bit pervasive.

Seeing the change in Kobe's face, Li Tian also put oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.

******
A day later, the Cavaliers were a guest in Orlando and challenged the Magic away.

In the first two games of the two teams, the two sides drew 1:1, and the Magic won the home court advantage.

With the prestige of lore, I am a guest in Orlando.

Returning to the home court of the Magic, morale has been restored.

In the first quarter of the match between the two teams, the 'streetball king' Alston broke out suddenly, scoring 6 points in 5 of 11; Howard also did the same. Today was unprecedented, 4 of 2 free throws with a 50% shooting rate, which is not easy .

On the other hand, the Cavaliers were not so good. James, who was physically exhausted in the last game, only scored 8 points in 3 of 8.

In the second quarter, the offensive state of the two teams suddenly changed.At the end of the first half, the Magic only led by 41 point at 42:1, and the advantage was very weak.

In this era of games, the offensive rhythm is very slow and the scoring is very low.

In the second half, the point difference between the two teams gradually widened. Howard started to explode. He probably stepped on dog shit. He made 5 of 4 free throws and 4 of 3 free throws, scoring 10 points.

In the last quarter, although Howard missed 1 shot, his free throw percentage of 10 of 8 was really scary.

At the end of the game, the Magic won the game by 89 points at 99:10.

James scored 41 points, which was difficult to support alone; under the leadership of Howard, the team scored in double figures with 5 players, and Pietrus, who came off the bench, scored 16 points.

The Cavaliers only scored 8 points from the bench, and the weak bench once again became their weakness.

******
The next day, the Lakers' away game against Mosaic officially started at 07:30 in the evening!
"Big guy, G4 of the Western Conference Finals is about to start. It was reconfirmed before the game that Li Tian only has a muscle strain in his arm and will be absent for about a week!" Director Zhang said.

"Fortunately, the injury is not serious. I hope he can return to the game soon. Injuries are always the biggest enemy of athletes!" Yu Jia said.

Mosaic starters: Lowry, Battier, Artest, Scola, Yao Ming;
Lakers starting: Fisher, Bryant, Ariza, Odom, Gasol.

"Mosaic changed suddenly in the last game, and they won a victory. The Lakers also changed the starting lineup, but Li Tian was injured, Ariza replaced the position of small forward, Odom returned to the starting lineup, Gaso Hall came to the center position.

Phil should have been like this a long time ago. Bynum can't prevent Yao Ming at all. Although Gasol can't lock Yao Ming, he can still play a restrictive role! "Director Zhang explained.

Gasol wins the jump ball.

Battier is used to it, and he doesn't need to defend at all in the opening game, because Kobe has never attacked with the ball. Even in the last game, Kobe only broke through with the ball in the second half.

Battier forgot, because Li Tian was absent, Kobe had to take over the responsibility of holding the ball.

After receiving a pass from Fisher, he didn't stop at all. He accelerated with one step, squeezed Battier away, and went to the basket.

"Kang Dang!" The opening game was a dunk, violently attacking the basket!

2:0 The Lakers scored first.

"Go Kobe!" Li Tian shouted from the sidelines, waving a towel with his left hand to celebrate Kobe.

"Smith, what did I see? Kobe's breakthrough seems to be faster, and his footsteps are so mysterious!" Barkley had an incredible expression.

Shocked, but already used to it, Kobe, who was catching and shooting, suddenly saw Kobe breaking through with the ball.

"I think there are only two possibilities, one is that he is not injured, and the other is that he has recovered!" Smith analyzed.

Regardless of the possibility, this round of the series will undergo tremendous changes.

Before the game, many media began to look down on the Lakers. The last game was the best proof.The Lakers lost Li Tian, ​​and now it is Kobe who is injured. It is not so easy to lead the Lakers to win this round of the series.

Now Kobe suddenly told everyone that he has no injuries and is healthy, as if he had seen a ghost.

Adelman was the one who reacted the most. He was shocked. This was completely different from the pre-match arrangement. They were in disarray. His heart began to tremble, and he frowned, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

This is just the beginning.

Artest singled Ariza, and he suddenly discovered that this guy's defensive ability was not weaker than Li Tian's.

Being hit by Ariza, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I had to give the ball to Lowry on the outside.

"Crack!" Kobe, who had quick eyes and quick hands, stepped up to complete a steal the moment Artest passed the ball.

After controlling the ball in his hands, Kobe accelerated quickly and ran towards the frontcourt.

"Bang Dang!" It was another violent basket!
4: 0!

Mosaic was confused by Kobe's offense and defense. Is this still the same Kobe from the first three games?

The game progressed quickly, and Kobe showed his dominance on both offense and defense!
"Haha, Kobe caught his opponent by surprise!" Barkley laughed excitedly.

If Kobe is still injured and his explosive power is affected, then this round of the series will not be so exciting. The number of fans watching this game will gradually decrease, and the ratings will definitely drop. Now that Kobe is not injured, the clearance rate will definitely be guaranteed!
The first quarter of the game was simply Kobe's performance time.

After 1 minute, he pressed to the half-block position, received a pass from Gasol, and began to play Battier with his back.

The two will play four games every regular season, and Kobe has long been used to it.

With the help of the back, feel the power of Battier's defense, and adjust his offensive rhythm according to the strength of the defense.

Press down to the next step and a half from the basket.

"This is the time!" Kobe thought to himself.

Turn around, take off, turn over and fade away for a jump shot.

Battier also rushed towards Kobe who was jumping in the first place.

It's still his unique skill, eye-closed defense.

But Kobe, who has adapted to this kind of defense, has no discomfort at all.

"Shh!"

"It's great, that Kobe is back again, that god-blocking-killing-god-killing Kobe is back!" the excited Director Zhang shouted loudly in the studio.

25:19 The Lakers widened the point difference to 6 points.

"Haha, awesome!" The bench, every time they saw Kobe scoring a goal, would be very excited, standing up and cheering for him.

"I won't pretend anymore, I'm still that Kobe!" Kobe roared inwardly!
