Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 147 Tonight, Death Comes!
On the 25th, the Sonics played at home against the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant.

This is the second contest between the two sides in the regular season. The Sonics had won the opponent by 12 points before, and their strength has a slight upper hand.

The Lakers management has great ambitions, and the goal has always been to win the championship. However, Kobe lacks helpers around him. After struggling this season, his record is still not up, and he can only rank ninth in the Western Conference, with a winning percentage of just over 50%.

Having failed to bring in stars for two consecutive summers, Kobe's patience with the Lakers is getting less and less. If he can't win the championship in the next two seasons, Kobe's departure from Los Angeles is a certainty.

The only thing that makes the Lakers management feel gratified is that "Little Shark" Bynum has gradually grown up. This season, he averaged 30 minutes per game, scored 15 points, 10 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 blocks. He has succeeded Yao Ming and became the number one in the Western Conference. Center means.

"Left-handed Magician" Odom became the most disappointing player for Lakers fans. With a high salary of 1500 million, he averaged only 11 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game.It seems that the statistics are comprehensive and eye-catching, but as a theoretical second-in-command, he can provide little help for Kobe.

In the evening, the Sonics home arena was full, which was another visual feast for the fans.

Both teams have popular stars, and TNT TV will broadcast live across the United States.

Domestic CCTV5 also broadcast the game live. Now the Sonics have become the home team of Chinese fans. The Lakers game against Kobe Bryant is the highlight in China, and the number of fans watching the game has surged.

After the players entered the field, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced on the big screen.

Supersonics: Francis, "Martial Saint" Jackson, Durant, Szczerbiak, Noah.

Lakers: Fisher, Kobe, Radmanovich, Odom, Bynum.

Noah won the jump ball and the game started.

Jackson received the ball in the frontcourt, played a pick-and-roll with Noah in the middle, suddenly attracted the help defense, and quickly transferred the ball to Durant, who was running without the ball.

Durant accelerated to get rid of Radmanovich in the middle, dribbled a jumper, and avoided the block with his wingspan advantage. 2 to 0.

When returning to defense, Durant clenched his fist and slapped his chest, and he took the first ball strongly, cheering for himself.

Jackson is in charge of the matchup tonight with Kobe, the top scorer of the Lakers. Lu Yong arranged for him to devote more energy to defense, and the offensive end is mainly to break through and score with the ball. Hardening Kobe is obviously not a good choice.

After Fisher dribbled the ball across half court, he observed a circle and passed it to Kobe.

He played in a very special position for the Lakers. The No. [-] position of other teams is called point guard, while Fisher is a dribbling guard.Just pass the ball to Kobe across half court, and then stand on the outside to open up space, the task is very simple.

Kobe and Bynum played a pick-and-roll, leaned over and accelerated but failed to get rid of Jackson's entanglement, and passed the ball to Bynum with a shoulder hit. The latter made a three-step air cut and scored a layup. 2 to 2.

Bynum is 2 meters tall and weighs 13 kilograms. Noah's single-defense body is at a disadvantage, and it's really not easy to defend against him.

But back to the defensive end, Bynum is also targeted, 129 kilograms of weight can't be defended, and the slow lateral speed is a nightmare to switch to defend the pick-and-roll. Durant changed direction and broke through, and went to the left for an easy layup. Score. 4 to 2.

The Sonics' offensive system can always lift the opponent's center out of the penalty area. Bynum can't keep up with Durant's speed when he defends it. Even Noah is faster than him.

The Lakers attacked, and Fisher passed Kobe again after halftime.

Kobe singled out Jackson with his back and the ball, turned to the middle and missed a fallback jumper, and missed the basket under interference.

Noah protected the backcourt rebound and launched a counterattack, and quickly passed the ball to Durant, who was running forward.

Durant reached the three-point line with the ball, faced Radmanovic's sharp change, and scored with his left hand. 6 to 2.

Radmanovich belongs to the confrontational striker, and his lateral movement speed is slow. After the serious injury, his speed was even slower. Durant couldn't keep up with him when he rushed, so he had to block the breakthrough route in advance, and he didn't dare to foul.

Durant scored 6 points in a row in the opening game, and he was in excellent form tonight, which made Lu Yong more determined to collect data for him.

Players with high scores are more likely to be remembered by fans, like Kobe's 81-point dragon-slaying game, which is still talked about by fans until now.

No matter how well a player plays in a team, it is difficult to get personal honor without good personal data as a support.For a star of Durant's level, 30 shots a game is not too many, and Lu Yong intends to give him a complete refreshment today.

The Lakers were attacking, and Kobe wanted the ball for a single from the horn on the right side. He turned to the baseline with Jackson. 6 to 4.

Kobe is good at using the fadeaway jumper to score. He imitated Jordan's three-pointer. In terms of style of play and viewing, he is the most popular among many "Jordan successors".

The Supersonic attack, Noah out of the middle to organize, Durant ran 45 degrees from the bottom corner to the right, and successfully received the ball with the help of Szczerbiak's screen.

Seeing this, Kobe immediately let go of Jackson's flank attack, and teamed up with Radmanovich to interfere with Durant's shooting.

Durant is used to double-teaming, took a step back with the ball, jumped up and transferred the ball to Jackson's position.

Fisher was slow to make up the defense, Jackson's top three-pointer shot up and down, and he hit a wide-open jumper steadily, whoosh! 9 to 4.

In the next round, Kobe and Odom picked and rolled, attracted double-teams and then passed to the middle, assisted Odom to hit a throw and hit the board. 9 to 6.

Durant was not to be outdone, he demanded the ball strongly in the halftime, and Radmanovic had an obvious speed advantage in one-on-one singles.Taking a sudden step to create space for the shot, he made a two-pointer and scored a jumper, 11 to 6.

Yu Jia said: "Durant's shooting touch is too hot tonight. He made 4 of 4 shots in the opening game and scored 8 points in a row. It is expected to set a new high in a single game."

Director Zhang smiled and said: "Shuai Lu made it clear that he wanted Durant to play more, and the weak side arranged players to cover and catch the ball for him. I don't know if it was to prepare for the MVP.

The Lakers' ability to attack tough battles is not weak. Odom went down the pick-and-roll and forced Szczerbiak to score a layup, 11 to 8.

Odom's performance this season is based on his salary. Szczerbiak has a speed advantage in one-on-one singles, and he can finish with both left and right hands.

Lu Yong sat on the sidelines and didn't call a timeout. He was determined to fight the offense with the Lakers.

He and Lakers head coach Phil Jackson are both Buddhist characters. They are the two coaches who have called the fewest timeouts this season. The main focus of the game is a fluency.

In the next round, Durant took the ball in the frontcourt and looked for Szczerbiak to cover. This time he failed to get rid of Radmanovic's pursuit, but it did not affect him from a position one step away from the three-point line. jump shot.

Radmanovich is 2 meters tall, but his wingspan is too short. He looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex in front of Adu. A slight interference with his hand is ineffective. He can only watch Durant make a jumper and then go in. Swish! 08 to 13.

Radmanovic, who was blasted into scum at the beginning, looked helpless. He looked at the bench several times to observe the face of "Zen Master", fearing that his poor defense would be scolded and he would lose the starting position he had won so hard.

Domestic fans have an impression of this guy not because of his heroic appearance when shooting outside, but because of the joke that Radmanovic lied about his injury.

In the parallel world, Radmanovic suffered a dislocated right shoulder during the All-Star weekend, and the reason he gave to the team for the injury was very bizarre, saying that he accidentally slipped and fell while going out to buy coffee, which caused his shoulder injury. dislocated.

But it was later revealed that he lied and the injury was caused by a fall while skiing in Park City, Utah.

The highly dangerous activity of skiing is strictly prohibited by the NBA. If a player violates the contract, the team has the right to terminate the contract.

Fortunately, the Lakers opened the net and did not let Radmanovich lose his job, but they also issued the largest fine in club history-$50.Since then, Radmanovic has been nicknamed "Ski Man" and has been recognized by more domestic fans.

In the next period of time, the two teams faced each other, and the offensive end played you back and forth, and the point difference was never widened.

After 4 minutes, Lu Yong made a substitution, Noah went off, and Gasol Jr. came on.

On the offensive end, a high-position turret that can protect the frame is added, and the space is further enlarged.

Durant took the ball to the frontcourt, used the cover to break through from the left, attracted the defense and quickly passed the ball to Gasol Jr. who responded at the top of the arc.The latter did not hesitate beyond the three-point line, and shot with his hands raised. With core players on the field, his offensive firepower was stronger than Noah's.

Xiao Jia seems to shoot very casually, but in fact this is his game rhythm.

Insiders from Europe all pay attention to technology and touch. Arranging him to go to the basket is a field that Gasol is not good at.

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the shooting percentages of both teams declined, but the game of reckless offense was still wonderful.

After several missed shots, Lu Yong began to make substitutions and adjustments again.

Neal replaced Francis, Teletovic replaced Szczerbiak, and it was easier for role players with plenty of physical strength to seize opportunities.

After the substitution, the Sonics' offensive shooting rate picked up. Neal and Taylor Tovic received Durant's pass and threw three-pointers to help the team firmly control the point difference.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson sat on the sidelines in a daze until Durant scored a jumper in the final attack. His facial expression did not change significantly. He is worthy of the nickname "Zen Master".

After the first quarter of the game, 36 to 29, the Sonics led by 7 points.

杜兰特单节9投6中，三分球4中2，罚球3中3，砍下17分4篮板4助攻1抢断，效率惊人。

In the second quarter, Durant rested, and the Lakers played a wave of climax under the leadership of "Little Shark" Bynum, quickly approaching the point difference.

Dragic was in poor form, making 3 of 0 shots, not scoring a point, and sent 2 turnovers.

Lu Yong only allowed him to play for more than three minutes before replacing him. It is normal for players to be in poor condition. Dragic can only sit on the bench tonight.

Lu Yong did not call a timeout, but let the players learn to adjust themselves on the court. Only after experiencing strong winds and waves can they play a tougher performance in the playoffs.

Batum hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc in the next round to stabilize the situation, and teamed up with Neal to control the game, buying time for the main players to rest.

Five minutes later, Durant returned to the court.One-on-one singles against Luke Walton, a long two-point pull-up jumper succeeded.

Seeing this, "Zen Master" quickly replaced the main force, and simply asked Kobe to face Durant. Although Kobe also suffered from height and wingspan, the Lakers did not have a more suitable defensive player on the outside than him.

During the break, Lu Yong told Durant that if he had the opportunity tonight, he would make a bold move and give him the right to fire unlimited fire. This made Adu more confident after his reappearance, even if he faced Kobe Bryant.

Facts have proved that when Durant feels hot, even Kobe, who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team all year round, cannot guard him.

杜兰特今夜死神降临，第二节7投4中，三分球2中1，罚球2中2，得到11分。半场28分7篮板6助攻1抢断。

The Sonics lead 60-56.
