Chapter 104 A Showdown

There are many arrogant people on the basketball court, some because of skills, some because of grades, but Kobe is the kind of person who is engraved in his bones, no need for any reason, it is born.

Since he said it himself, he would definitely not be cowardly.

Zhang Chen stimulated him twice, this time he really responded.

Moreover, the Lakers head coach Mayfair Jackson also tacitly allowed Kobe to increase his singles to a certain extent. To win a game, you must show something different than in a lost game.

The outside line of the Lakers needs to be opened, and Kobe is very critical.

It may be worse, but it may be difficult to change if the ending is not changed. It’s not that the Heat are too strong, and the Lakers have different opinions. Regarding the win or loss of a game, Mayfair-Jackson hopes that O’Neal and Kobe will find the right one. Way to win.

Since the opponent has a request, Zhang Chen will not refuse to fight. This is the situation he expected to appear.

Facing Zhang Chen who was defending him, Kobe looked extremely firm. He didn't believe that anyone could defend him one-on-one. Even if he missed some shots in the first two games, he didn't think there was any problem, but he hadn't entered the final stage yet. He is in good form, and the team's positioning of him restricts his performance.

Fluid turn back shot off the dribble, then turn back again for a fadeaway jumper.

In fact, Zhang Chen has basically seen Kobe's moves. The opponent didn't play any new tricks in this game, but in the same way, the goal was scored.

"Interesting." The trick is the same, but the person has changed slightly.

On the court, extreme confidence can make a player stronger.

This is not nonsense. In this state, the feeling of shooting will be more acute, and the use of wrist and other strength will be more comfortable, just like the machine is running in the best condition.

"Come on, in addition to offense, I also want to beat you on defense." Kobe exuded a strong fighting spirit.

Zhang Chen sneered and said, "It won't be too late after you win."

Another breakthrough of strength, pushing it like a bulldozer.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Kobe fouled because he moved too much in order to prevent the ball.

"Don't get too excited, it won't be fun if you get sent off after a while."

Zhang Chen made the free throw. He decided that he would spare no effort to face Kobe head-on in this game. He was not the only one who would be tired. He wanted to see how far the opponent could reach.

"Zhang Chen and Kobe matched up right from the start, and they both looked very excited."

"These two are the two most comprehensive young men in the league's central defender line. Their inspiring collision is really exciting."

"That's right. Zhang Chen also faced off with Iverson, a scorer who is almost impossible to defend. However, Iverson's strengths and weaknesses are obvious, and he couldn't have such a fierce confrontation on both ends of the defense."

Next, Kobe's defense was still desperate, but he was not called a foul by the referee because of his big moves. He was just deliberately testing the referee's bottom line, which was also part of the defense.

Kobe who broke out completely is indeed very strong, but Zhang Chen is not afraid at all. Both of them have their own advantages on the offensive end and defensive end, and they can both cause trouble for the opponent. It depends on who can last longer in this state of going all out up.

The strange thing is that in this game, Kobe had many opportunities to pass the ball, but he still came by himself, but O'Neal and other teammates, and even the opposing coach did not stop him from doing so.

Could it be that the Lakers really intend to let Kobe play singles and ignore the original tactics.

Although when Mayfair-Jackson was coaching the Bulls, the team encountered difficult opponents that might have allowed Jordan to start the singles mode, but now Kobe’s status as the Lakers is completely incomparable with Jordan’s status in the Bulls, and I don’t know what the opponent is playing. idea.

Such thoughts just flashed through Zhang Chen's mind. He really didn't need to worry about such things. It was serious to solve Kobe and win the game.

No matter what the Lakers think, if they lose the game, everything will be illusory.

"Zhang, how's your physical condition?"

"Very good, definitely better than the other party."

After the first quarter, facing the coach's question, Zhang Chen replied confidently that in this game, Kobe did not take a rest after the end of the game like the last two games. Judging by his posture, he seemed to want to play the whole game.

This kind of reckless fighting on both offensive and defensive ends, regardless of physical strength, is impossible to persist for the entire game. When it comes to the end, it is impossible to maintain the current intensity, but as long as Kobe does not rest, he will not rest.

Even if the two couldn't play the usual role on the court in the end, he recognized it.

Why would the Lakers think that exchanging Kobe for Zhang Chen is a good deal, but the reality is not an irresponsible fantasy, and Zhang Chen will not be afraid of such a situation.

"If you don't rest, you will be physically overwhelmed."

"If you run out of energy, you can rest on the field, and I can wait for you on the field."

He also stimulated Kobe by the way, people with strong skills will jump in even if they know it is a trap, because they want to prove that they don't care about this at all, and their strength can crush everything.

Zhang Chen didn't just talk about it, whether in offense or defense, he further strengthened the physical confrontation. In the second quarter, the collision between the two had reached its peak state.

After adapting to each other's strength, both of them have improved their hit rate.

In the first quarter, the two accounted for almost half of the points scored by their respective teams. In the second quarter, the two scored more than half of their respective teams.

"Score shootout, real score shootout."

"In the playoffs, this is the first time that a single individual scored more than half of the team's points. No one has ever done this before, and it is even more unique for two people to do it at the same time. If they both keep it up, they will definitely be able to create new ones. Record."

In fact, this situation is difficult to become a reality, especially in the playoffs with tight defense, there are still two players.

By the time of the third quarter, the efficiency of the two of them dropped, especially in terms of offense, and their physical strength was affected.

It should be the first time for both of them to have such a high-intensity confrontation on the offensive and defensive ends.

Hold on, hold on, you must not show fatigue, Zhang Chen kept reminding himself.

He has never lost in such a thing, not before, not in the future, and not now.

"With your current shooting percentage, you will lose this game."

"Is your current shooting percentage very good? I will definitely hit the next ball."

"If it's useful just to say it, why do you want to play the game?" Zhang Chen said contemptuously. At this critical moment, whoever collapses first will have a negative impact on the team. He will use all means.

Kobe stopped answering the call, and started to use his back-up technique again. When his physical strength is affected, at least it is not easy to be intercepted when playing back-up.

I have to say that his technique is really good. The moment he turned around and took off, Zhang Chen tried his best to block it. With a sound of "clang" on the basket, Mourning got another rebound.

Zhang Chen’s choice at this time was different. He reduced his shots, and the shots he couldn’t keep up with were really affected. If he made a breakthrough, he also had the risk of being capped by the Lakers, but in comparison, he still chose to make a breakthrough.

It was also at the last moment that he didn't make a shot at the best height and contributed an iron.

But the difference is that he has fouled the other player three times before. Although this kind of breakthrough consumes more energy than shooting, he doesn't care, because the third quarter is coming to an end, and he can take a rest. Yes, he can change his style of play.

The two didn't rest for three whole quarters, and they were the core of both offensive and defensive tactics. Thinking about how much consumption this is, it's a miracle that the two haven't got down yet.

After a short rest and a little energy drink, Zhang Chen felt that his physical strength had recovered a little.

On the court, facing Kobe's impact again, "Now, it's the decisive moment again, and I will definitely win." His defensive actions became quick and aggressive again.

"Damn it." Kobe didn't expect Zhang Chen to change his fatigue and explode at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He almost made a three-point shot. He secretly said, "We must guard against him."

Zhang Chen received the ball in the frontcourt, and Kobe was ready.

Just at the start, the ball in his hand suddenly disappeared.

Bowen felt a little surprised when he received the ball, but he immediately completed the shooting action and made a 2-pointer.

Zhang Chen actually passed the ball, and it was the first offense in the fourth quarter. Kobe was a little dazed, "Are you admitting defeat?"

"Admit defeat, joke, does an assist mean admitting defeat? In a showdown, what is winning and what is losing, of course it depends on the score. The real victory is to help the team win. We are players who want to be leaders. Don't be too one-sided. OK." He replied calmly.

"You're cheating..." Kobe was very angry, but felt that what Zhang Chen said was also reasonable, so he was very entangled for a while.

But then, Zhang Chen started various assists, and the Heat's scoring soared. Kobe's heart was shaken. If he lost the game, it would be of no use for him to score desperately.

So he also started to increase his passing, but what made him extremely depressed was that his teammates seemed to have a lower shooting percentage than him, and he was confused whether to pass or do it himself.

Zhang Chen smiled smugly in his heart. The Lakers' outside line has been cold for three quarters. How could they have such a good touch? If he hadn't activated the momentum, he wouldn't dare to pass the pass with confidence.

O'Neal was double-teamed inside, Kobe was exhausted, and other players were not warm. The Lakers' offense became very bad in the fourth quarter.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the score between the two sides was bitten by three quarters, and the Lakers collapsed in the fourth quarter.

In the last few minutes, the opponent replaced the main force, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the game.

At 106:88, the Heat made another victory and won the championship title again, only needing to win another game.

The end of defending the title is finally getting closer.
