Chapter 246: Three against one, I have the advantage, I will definitely win!
November 21, TD North Shore Garden Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Celtics was about to host a regular game against the Lakers. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Kobe and Odom chatted about pennies with Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen.
Ray Allen had a confrontation and was quickly defeated.
As both representative players of the 1996 golden generation, the gap between him and Kobe is so big.
You can't make it into the top four shooting guards, you can't win a championship, and now you're still in a group.
However, after working with Pierce to lobby for Garnett to join, his status in the Celtics dropped again. Of course, the main reason was that they were together at the top. He was a little uncomfortable with it, so naturally he didn't want to talk more.
On the contrary, Pierce, Garnett and Kobe had a great time chatting.
Pierce had been waiting for so long, and the team's strength finally got stronger. He wanted to reveal his identity as the number one striker that he had hidden for 10 years, and accidentally got excited and started chatting.
Garnett hugged Kobe directly and chatted closely. He said that he originally wanted to join the Lakers and team up with Kobe, but unfortunately, the Celtics gave him too much money.
Kobe and the Lakers are causing trouble again, and Kobe's next club has not yet been decided. Naturally, he does not dare to wait for Kobe and the Lakers to have a fight before deciding on his next club.
In addition, the Lakers are unwilling to send Bynum and Odom, so continuing to talk is a failure.
It can only be said to be a regret in life.
Fortunately, he is doing well in the Green Army.
The team's record has soared, and they have only lost one game. Two days ago, they were defeated by the Magic. Otherwise, the Green Army would still have a complete victory.
There is nothing wrong with the spare tire I chose. I want to talk more with Kobe, the regular tire.
He holds a big contract with an annual salary of 24 million, and he can earn just a few cents a day until he is buried, and there is still money left over.
Su Bei originally had no need to talk, but James Posey ran out and started chatting with him.
I couldn't find a topic, so I lamented that the Heat, who had won the championship together, were useless.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Celtics' top five, Kendrick Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo.
Lakers five players, Bynum, Odom, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
The game was broadcast live nationwide on TNT and was narrated by Barkley and Kenny Smith.
"Three against one, the Lakers will lose.
Moreover, the advantage lies with our Green Army. Not to mention playing at home, the Lakers are still playing back-to-back games. On the other hand, the Green Army has had two days of rest and has an obvious physical advantage.
Not to mention that the Lakers also injured center Kwame Brown. The only way the Lakers can beat the Celtics is the triangle offensive tactic that has been used for almost three years."
"After waiting for three years, I think Jackson doesn't want to tell everyone how powerful his triangle offense is, but he wants to get back what he lost.
If the Lakers want to defeat their opponents, in addition to using the triangle offensive tactic, the outside shooting touch must be explosive. The Green Army's tactics like to bet that the opponent's outside shooting pistol has no bullets..."
The game has begun.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high. Bynum defeated Garnett and scored the first offense for the Lakers.
"Fisher controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Kobe.
Ray Allen stood in front of him, letting go but not shooting, and Pierce also deflected the defense.
Kobe chose to step forward and then break through. Ray Allen fought and retreated. Pierce rushed to help defend and launched a zone defense against Kobe.
Garnett in the paint sits in the penalty area, forming a barrier for Kobe to break through into the paint. Kobe has no choice but to bet on his shooting touch?
No.
Kobe passed the ball and lobbed the basketball to Bynum. Garnett shrank back like Spider-Man. Pierce and Ray Allen also came over to attack, one preparing to grab the ball and the other blocking the passing route.
Bynum, who really had no choice, suddenly got excited and chose to hang his body on Garnett and throw the basketball towards the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Bynum missed the mid-range shot, and since he had to avoid Garnett to hit it, the shot was completely obscured.
"Bynum's blind opponent can't hit, so he has no choice. If he doesn't attack, he can't even suffer. The only thing left is to be intercepted.
The basketball was taken by Garnett, passed it to Rondo, and slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt..."
Offensively, Su Bei played a great role, and the Green Army made it clear that the Lakers should shoot away from the basket.
From the perspective of the layout, there is nothing wrong with Kobe Bryant's choice to pass the ball inside, because if he passes the ball to Su Bei, wouldn't he fall into the opponent's trap?
Aren't you going to bet on whether there are bullets in the long-range pistol?
On defense, Su Bei followed Pierce closely, and Kobe was always ready to help defend.
"Rondo controlled the ball to the frontcourt, waited for his teammates to get into position, and immediately lobbed the ball to Garnett.
Odom defended, and Garnett used his back to crush him step by step. Su Bei rushed to help defend, hoping that Odom would join him in a flanking attack on Garnett.
Garnett did not play hard and passed the basketball to Pierce. Kobe switched defense. Pierce did not play and handed the basketball to Ray Allen on the right. He lifted the ball from outside the three-point line. Fisher rushed to defend him. Bye
Nahm also knew that Ray Allen's three-point shooting was not an ordinary three-point shooting skill, so he also expanded his defense.
Ray Allen jumped high and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper...No, he chose to throw the basketball to the basket in the air, and Perkins was already empty..."
Bang-dang——!
Perkins dunked under the open basket, his whole body hanging from the southeast corner, and scored two points, opening the scoring account for the Celtics first.
0 to 2!
"The Big Three are the ones cheating on the field.
Did you see it? The superstar chose a certain point to attack in a one-on-one duel, and the Lakers could only help defend against the attack.
As long as the Green Army chooses to distribute the ball, the Lakers' defense will be passive at every turn, stretched and unable to defend.
Like this offensive round, like a relay pass, find the open space and send the basketball to the basket.
So, one versus three, advantageous game, it’s too difficult for the Lakers.”
Off the court, Jackson's face was calm. From coaching in the 1990s to now, he has never been through any storms.
Haven't you used the triangle offensive tactic yet? Even if you have the advantage, you may not be able to win. The key is to play your own style of game, and leave the rest to God.
"On the Lakers' offensive possession, Fisher passed the ball to Kobe.
Still defending the zone, he challenged Ray Allen and Pierce. This choice was a bit unstable, and Kobe chose to pass the ball to Su Bei.
The Lakers run the triangle offense..."
Odom and Bynum switched positions on the left and right screens. Odom came to the right and received the pass from Su Bei, becoming the axis of the triangle offensive tactics.
At this time, Fisher cut into the basket, using Odom's screen, trying to get rid of Rondo, and then receiving the ball, he could hit the Green Army's backdoor or use a small one to hit a big one.
"Rondo was blocked and pressed on the spot. Odom failed to pass to Fisher. Perkins saw through it and the mistake was intercepted."
"Perkins quickly passed the ball to Rondo, increased his speed, and played defensive counterattack.
Su Bei, Kobe and Fisher quickly retreated to defend. Rondo transferred the basketball to Pierce's hands, and Su Bei rushed over to watch the defense.
Huh?
Pierce came up with a chasing three-pointer, and Blind Ji Ba threw it randomly..."
Su Bei retreated from the center. Didn't he predict that Pierce would be so brave?
Who gives you courage? Does Liang Jingru know?
Bang-dang——!
Pierce's three-pointer missed.
The rebound was taken down by Kobe.
Pierce and Rondo, without even looking, immediately turned around and threw themselves into defense.
It's not that Liang Jingru gave him the courage, but that the offense is just incidental. The Celtics rely on defense to win. The offense can attack flexibly. If Jiba throws randomly, if he scores, he will make money.
Not entering?
They just focus on defense, which is exactly their advantage.
If you don’t throw at this time, when should you throw?
"Kobe didn't pass the ball and automatically dribbled the ball back to the frontcourt. Facing Ray Allen, he quickly changed direction and went not to the left side where Pierce was defending. He broke through to the right side and Rondo came to help defend.
At this time, there was Garnett standing behind Ray Allen and Rondo. Kobe couldn't break in, so he made a sudden stop and pulled up the ball. With the fingertips of Ray Allen and Rondo blocking the shot, he threw the basketball towards the basket...
…”
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
Bang-dang——!
Kobe's pull-up fadeaway jumper failed.
Garnett turned around and protected the basketball.
Kobe Bryant chose to play hard, but it was unreliable. However, he had no choice. Other offensive points may not have good offensive opportunities.
After all, besides Kobe, the Lakers' biggest superstar is Kobe.
He didn't want to be a blacksmith, but he had no choice now.
