Chapter 305: Its not just the individual who loses, but the team. What do you do to win?
The Bulls' running game kept the Lakers' defense busy parrying, and other opportunities would appear. After a while, it was really difficult to stop them.
Lakers offensive possession.
Fisher brought the ball to the frontcourt, immediately passed the ball to Kobe, attracted the defense, then played music, and then hoisted it to the inside, and continued the offense with Gasol, making it clear that the Bulls' inside defense should not be regarded as alive.
Peng——!
With his back on Noah, Gasol moved like a shark, drove to the basket, turned around and made a layup...
Noah fights and retreats at the same time. His thin body and defense are like a paper lake, which can be broken at the first touch.
Swish——!
Gasol's offense was successful again.
11 to 13!
In a word, it feels good to play Gasol for a while, and it will always feel good to play Gasol all the time.
Everyone eats dumplings... No, it's a day of dumplings. Gasol will probably be full tonight.
Noah was beaten like a sister-in-law, just like the rain hitting the plantains, with a crashing sound.
"The Bulls accounted for speed and frequency, and the Lakers accounted for length...no, it was height and quality. On the scene, both sides went back and forth, and the game was evenly matched."
"They all have their own strengths. They have been really tough on each other, but now they can't hold on for long..."
On the court, the Bulls' two stars in the backcourt were running wild and full of passion.
Rose's whirlwind attack has invincible qualities, so the Lakers can only pile people in front of Rose.
"Rose passed the ball to Noah who rushed back, avoided the encirclement, received Noah's pass again, started, changed direction, tore through the Lakers' defense, and rushed towards the basket..."
…
"Rose rushed up and fell into the zone defense. He didn't make any waves and played very steadily.
He didn't look like a rookie at all. He calmly passed the ball to Ben Gordon next to him, caught the ball, raised his hand and said it was a three-point jumper..."
Rose's dribbling and dribbling skills are something special. His talent is indeed too strong, and he has the talent of a superstar who is not afraid of anything but a new talent.
There was facial paralysis on his face, he was calm and expressionless, and he had the aura of a killer that he didn't feel like he had.
Facing the new and unfamiliar Rose, the Lakers' defense was overwhelmed by Rose. It cannot be said to be similar to that sieve, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
Especially since Noah couldn't stand up to Gasol, Bulls head coach Vinny Del Negro was also very straightforward and replaced Noah with Tyrus Thomas with a wave of his hand.
This person's physical talent is top-notch. Although his height of 2.06 meters is a bit unremarkable, his athletic ability is so strong. His protection of the basket is probably even worse, but in the running battle, it is a bonus.
The Bulls have played a lineup with one big player and four small players, and the cards are a bit dangerous. However, amid the dangers, the Bulls' offensive firepower is really unstoppable for a while.
Speaking of which, the Lakers have the qualifications to be a champion, but for a young team like the Bulls, they have never considered him alive from the beginning.
On the court, the Lakers players played calmly and with ease, as if they were dreaming back to the SHOWTIME era!
Of course, the Lakers have not lost their championship temperament, nor have they taken advantage of the Bulls' weaknesses and continued to attack the inside and beat Gasol.
On the field, even though it is quite anxious, it is nothing more than letting the bullets fly for a while longer.
The advantage lies with me and the Lakers.
After the first quarter, the score was 30 to 29, with the Bulls in the lead.
Rose made 4 of 6 shots and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 11 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.
Ben Gordon scored 6 points and Luol Deng also scored 6 points, creating a multi-point situation.
For the Lakers, Gasol was a standout, making 7 of 9 shots and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 18 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter. Although the Lakers fell behind, they were very heart-wrenching: Kobe made 0 of 2 shots and 1
No points, only 1 point behind.
Whenever Kobe Bryant scores, what can the Bulls do to top it off?
In the second quarter, Jackson put together a mediocre rotation.
Bynum continued to work, rotating in Odom, Ali, Vujacic and Farmar.
The Bulls' rotation is not bad either. Rose is a rookie and needs to take a breather off the court.
Ben Gordon continued to play, rotating in Joakim Noah. He only played 6 minutes in the first quarter. The remaining players included Tyrus Thomas, Larry Hughes and Nocioni.
Just looking at the lineup, the Bulls' talent and reputation are even more impressive than the Lakers'.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Ben Gordon, who plays a combo guard, holds the ball and attacks. He only has eyes for the basket. His statistics are very ball-hungry and he has toxic attributes, but his offensive power is top-notch.
"The likes of Farmar were broken into a sieve, just like the streets were cleared in the early morning, and they were driven to the basket.
Bynum was guarding the basket, and Ben Gordon hit him..."
Beep——!
The referee's whistle sounds.
Logically speaking, Ben Gordon does not have the ability to draw fouls in the future, but he plays faster with small speed and slower with faster speed. Bynum's basic defensive skills are a little bit worse. He relies entirely on physical talent to defend, but he will fall behind.
In the foul trap, Ben Gordon was sent to the free throw line for a free throw.
Swish——!
Swish——!
It is difficult for defenders to answer this kind of question.
The difference between the two sides became 3 points.
"The Lakers don't have Gasol on the court, but they have Odom.
Received the pass from Farmar, dribbled the ball through Thomas, met the man under the basket, and forced a layup against the intensive defense...
With a bang, Odom's shot was delivered.
With continuous bounces, Odom tried his best to use his personal talents, shoot and steal from himself, tip in the basketball and score..."
It cannot be said to be similar to the situation in the first quarter, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
The Bulls have a large group of defenders in the backcourt, and the swing players are also relatively outside. Their running game can continue to play music and dance.
However, the Lakers' inside line has also rolled up. With Gasol, Bynum and Odom as three quasi-star inside lines, I have the advantage in bombarding the basket.
The two sides continued to fight fiercely, and no one could do anything to their opponent.
However, with the appearance of Kobe, Su Bei and Gasol, when the Lakers' lineup changed to Gasol, Odom, Ariza, Su Bei and Kobe, they slowly began to accumulate winning momentum.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This lineup simply has no moral ethics.
If the Lakers are trying to grab rebounds, they will probably have no friends.
Moreover, this lineup has good athletic talent. On defense, it can pile up people in the penalty area. The Bulls' unstable outside shooting may become the Bulls' destiny..."
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
Larry Hughes is indeed very impactful, but his shooting is a weakness, making 0 of 2 shots.
Rose's speed is indeed terrifying, but when Ariza and Kobe take turns pressing him, with his rookie body, it is difficult to pick up the speed every time.
Whenever they fall into position, facing the Lakers' shrinking zone defense, the Bulls can only gamble on whether there are bullets in the pistol of the lucky shot.
Especially since Rose doesn't have three-pointers and his playing style is similar to Wade's, it's hard to achieve high offensive effectiveness.
The Bulls' running game became a 50-50 tie.
The Lakers' air raid battle was unstoppable.
"The Bulls also piled people into the penalty area, and Gasol hit the team and passed the basketball.
Su Bei was completely free, received the ball, and shot a three-point jumper...
Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came up, but Su Bei failed to use it and missed three points.
rebound?
No surprise, it was the Lakers. Odom passed the ball, Su Bei received the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and made a three-pointer, blinding Ji Ba for a jumper..."
Swish——!
There is no score that cannot be scored by a three-point shot. If a three-pointer fails once, then try it a second time.
I have the advantage in the paint and rebounds, what can you use to fight me?
In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers relied on their internal and external flourishes to beat the Bulls by a score of 31 to 27.
At the end of the first half, the score was 60 to 57. The Lakers entered the locker room to rest with a 3-point advantage.
After resting for 15 minutes, the game came back for the second half. The main players of both sides resumed playing music and then fighting.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers had the ball.
"Kobe hardly exerted much force in the first half. In the second half, he reached out for the ball and looked at Ben Gordon who was defending him.
The Lakers' lineup spread out, and after taking a three-threat stance, they took a step, dribbled the ball to the inside, took three steps to the penalty area, carried Ben Gordon's body, and lifted it into the basketball hoop like a flame..."
Swish——!
People say that Kobe's talent is not good. In fact, the ones who are really bad are people like Ben Gordon.
What hurts Kobe is just the comparison.
But Ben Gordon was not hurt much at this time, but the insult was extremely strong.
"It's so bullying. Kobe used his physical talent to take advantage of everything in this round.
Whether it was physical confrontation or height mismatch, Ben Gordon was beaten to death by Kobe.
Kobe did not continue to use his unreliable mid-range shot to score points, but instead used his body, length and hardness..."
Ben Gordon is 1.91 meters tall. In order to maintain his speed and shooting advantage, he doesn't even care about gaining weight. What can you do to top him?
Of course, this isn't just Ben Gordon's fault, it's the entire team's fault.
If Noah had some energy and was not beaten by Gasol, the Bulls' defense would not be contained.
As long as Vanoa doesn't get hit, Su Bei won't be so rampant at the three-point line.
The same goes for Bynum.
It was the Bulls' hands and feet that were tied that allowed Ben to face Kobe alone.
In this era, whoever touches Kobe will not die in his hands?
It’s just a matter of how you die.
Those who lost were in individual battles, but others were saved. Now those who lost were in team battles, and they were still very heart-wrenching. What can you do to save them?
In the next game, the Lakers' offense was unstoppable.
Whether it's Kobe's one-on-one, Gasol's one-on-one, or even Jiangsu Bei's one-on-one, the offense is all top-notch...
The score gradually widened, and the Bulls, who saw the gap but no hope, began to become a mess.
Ross was promoted to be the boss, but in the end he was still unconvincing.
The Bulls have no shortage of talent in their final lineup. They have a lot of No. 2 picks, No. 3 overall picks, and top 10 picks.
As the No. 1 pick, Rose is indeed a talent, but he doesn't speak nicely and has a cold face... Who else would be convinced?
Rose's only way is to lead by example, rush forward with the ball, score some extremely difficult goals, and win the admiration of his teammates: This kid has the appearance of an emperor!
Then, there is no more. In the eyes of teammates, there is only personal data, and they will score points when they have the opportunity.
As for winning?
Damn it, I just want to be quiet!
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 125 to 109. The Lakers had a 16-point advantage and beat the Bulls.
Gasol made 14 of 21 shots, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 34 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds, creating the highest score in the Lakers' career. His performance was outstanding.
Kobe made 9 of 18 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 22 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds. With a 50-50 performance, his performance was just okay.
Su Bei made 5 of 12 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 17 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds. He did not lose the face of the Lakers' Big Three. 34 22 17 = 73 points, averaging 24 points.
All things considered, the performance is excellent.
Rose made 11 of 18 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 29 points, 9 assists, and 3 rebounds. To be fair, he can say loudly: The team lost, and he did not lose with domineering quotes.
Moreover, he is right. You see, Ben Gordon only made 6 of 22 shots, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 23 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds. The statistics are not bad, but the efficiency is very low.
Sticking to the ground, it means nothing.
Of course, where the Bulls really lost was not on the outside, but on the inside, which was burnt out.
Noah made 1 of 3, scoring only 2 points and 5 rebounds.
Gooden made 4 of 9 shots and 1 of 1 free throws, resulting in 9 points and 7 rebounds.
Gasol alone is more than enough. This does not include Bynum's 18 points and 9 rebounds and Odom's 12 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. What do you use to win?
