The Hornets immediately made substitutions and added a forward, not daring to play with two point guards.
With a figure of around 18 years old, she is a loser in front of Zhang Zhiyuan.
When the Hornets attacked, Paul patted the basketball and then slung it under the basket. West tacitly shook off his opponent and caught the ball for a layup.
The ball goes in.
43 to 36, the Hornets still have the advantage.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed by Peja and Peterson and immediately distributed the ball.
Ariza caught the ball and hit the ball.
43 to 39.
The Lakers were gaining momentum, but the Hornets were a little panicked. There were coordination errors in the offense and the ball possession was switched.
The Lakers went on a fast break and the Hornets retreated quickly, but to no avail.
Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball in the chaos, and then took off and shot one step away from the three-point line.
The Hornets knew he had this trick, but there was nothing they could do because it was too difficult to guard against.
As long as there is a little negligence, Zhang Zhiyuan can get a chance.
At this time, the players and fans of the Hornets can only pray that Zhang Zhiyuan misses.
At this distance, Zhang Zhiyuan's hit rate is actually close to 45%, and the possibility of missing is actually higher.
It's just that his three-pointers are so sharp that it gives people the illusion that he can score as long as he takes a shot.
Zhang Zhiyuan's iron work was ignored by the fans.
The ball goes in.
43 to 42.
Sure enough, the Hornets fans closed their eyes in pain, knowing that the goal must have been scored.
The 12-point advantage was gone in the blink of an eye.
When playing against the Lakers, it only makes sense to have the last laugh. Don't be happy no matter how much you lead ahead.
"It's not scary to chase points. It's embarrassing to miss someone."
Sun Zhengping laughed and said.
When Kobe Bryant led the team, they lost by 10 points, but now that Zhang Zhiyuan leads the team, the team chased by 11 points in one go. This is the gap.
"Maddie's formula."
Zhang Lili said.
This word comes from Chinese fans, but more and more people think that this word is used correctly, so it is widely used, and even Zhang Liyi knows it.
The so-called Tracy McGrady formula means that whether a player is a cancer depends on the winning rate of the team with him and the winning rate of the team without him.
If the team's winning rate is higher without him, it means that this player is a cancer.
Although it's not particularly accurate, it's not far behind.
The Lakers were full of momentum on the court, and Kobe was on pins and needles off the court.
He is very embarrassed now.
Kobe firmly does not believe that he is a cancer, but now he really has no way to explain why the team fell behind when he was on the court and why the team took the lead as soon as he came off the court.
He couldn't express his suspicion that his teammates were acting like him.
After playing for a while, Kobe was replaced again.
There is no way, no matter how well the team is playing now, Jackson cannot let Kobe continue to rest, because he is the core of the team and one of the Lakers' signatures.
Not using Kobe at this time is almost telling the fans that there are conflicts in the team.
Kobe played again, but he couldn't be happy.
He was vaguely worried that the team would fall behind as soon as he took the field, and that he would continue to be targeted.
Before, he wouldn't have thought about such boring problems at all.
But I don’t know when he started to pay attention to the words efficiency value and cancer.
The game continued, and Kobe's worries came true.
When Scott saw that the team had no hope of winning, he was very unscrupulous and asked his subordinates to implement the "split plan".
Ever since, Kobe continued to do nothing on the court.
Although he worked hard to find opportunities, under the strict defense of the Hornets, it was difficult for him to connect with the ball.
After finally catching one or two passes, he will be double-teamed immediately.
Kobe also played 6 minutes in the second quarter, but none of his shots were used, as if he was sleepwalking on the court.
The only good news is that during his six minutes, the team did not fall behind.
But considering that he didn't take action, this doesn't seem to be a good thing.
Could it be that I am helping the team by not taking action?
Coming to this conclusion, Kobe almost vomited blood. He absolutely did not believe it. There must be an error in the analysis...
At the end of the first half, 58 to 64, the Lakers took a 6-point lead and scored 40 points in a single quarter, continuing to show their strong firepower.
Halftime break, home team locker room.
Because the team played well in the second quarter and achieved a big comeback, the players were very happy and were still discussing the game just now.
"West also wanted to dunk in front of me, so I slapped him in the face, but unfortunately I didn't slap him in the face..."
Bynum.
"Chuck, Madfak, you scored another 6 points, how the hell did you do it."
Turiaf said sourly.
"Hey, buddy, you just beat your opponent..."
.......
At first, everyone was chattering and chattering, but as Kobe suddenly stood up, everyone seemed to realize that something was wrong.
The discussion then stopped.
Kobe made 3 of 10 shots in the first half and scored a total of 6 points.
This performance was a disaster for him.
Everyone stopped discussing, but many of them felt dissatisfied.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the locker room was very delicate.
Fisher shook his head secretly, he was familiar with this kind of scene.
This is what the locker room looked like at the end of the ok group, they looked exactly the same.
The half-time break is over and the game continues.
Kobe has adjusted his mentality and is ready to perform well in the second half.
As long as his hand is smooth, it will be easy for him to score more than 20 points in the half.
Kobe's thoughts were beautiful, but after he came on the court, the Hornets immediately guarded him tightly.
"Madfa..."
Kobe closed his mouth halfway through the curse.
In his opinion, the Hornets' strategy is purely lunatic, and he cannot argue with lunatics.
I thought so, but after several rounds without scoring or taking any shots, Kobe inevitably became angry again.
The Lakers attack, with Kobe and Peja competing for position.
Both of them are old rivals. They were both from the class of 1996. Kobe was the 13th pick and Peja was the 14th pick.
Kobe bumped Peja roughly. He knew Peja.
Peja is a swingman. When playing the 2nd position, he actually has an advantage in height and strength. However, he is afraid of confrontation and his playing style is soft.
Kobe wanted to use rough movements to make Peja retreat and gain better space to catch the ball and a chance to shoot.
Although Peja's playing style is soft, he was not happy to be hit for no reason.
He pushed against Kobe forcefully, and at the same time, he used some small moves to reach his hands under Kobe's armpits and entangled them together.
Kobe caught the ball with his other hand and tried to start, but he made a mistake because his other hand was entangled.
Kobe, who had been holding back his anger, suddenly lost control of his emotions, pushed Peja violently, and cursed.
Now the Hornets players were unhappy. West and Peterson rushed over to ask for an explanation, while Paul said all kinds of heart-wrenching trash in front of Kobe.
"Kobe, don't be impulsive. It will be harder for our team to beat you if you are sent off..."
After hearing this, Kobe immediately broke through his defense. With a fierce force, he broke free from the assistant coach's hand and rushed towards Paul, punching Paul.
Paul is such a thief, he has been on guard for a long time, kept retreating, and kept spraying from his mouth.
When the whistle sounded, the referee directly made an ejection gesture to Kobe.
There is no referee, which is simply unforgivable.
"Oh Maigao, what happened? It seems that Kobe suddenly lost control of his mood."
Smith exclaimed.
"It's not sudden, it's an explosion from repression."
Buckley said.
"Now the Lakers are in trouble. Kobe has been expelled and may even be suspended, but they are now in a critical period of hitting records. Without Kobe..."
"Wait, are you sure this is trouble? I don't think so."
Barkley directly interrupted Smith's emotion.
This was a dark and secretive statement, but Smith understood it instantly and couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, what if Kobe is missing?
This season, the Lakers won three games without Kobe Bryant.
Of course, this does not mean that Kobe is unimportant.
After all, the Lakers' opponents were not strong in the few games that Kobe was absent, and Zhang Zhiyuan happened to break out, and...
The fans didn't dare to think any more and continued to think and analyze. They suddenly realized that Kobe was really not that important.
On the court, the chaos is over and the game continues.
Scott smiled in the audience. He never expected that one of his little tricks would have such an extra effect. It’s really
It is gratifying and congratulatory.
Not only did I achieve my long-term goal this time, I was even able to win this game.
"Double-team Zhang."
Scott gave the order again.
Without Kobe, the Lakers' next defensive strategy is too good to choose.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan was also heavily guarded.
Peja and Peterson were entangled in tandem, making it difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan to connect the ball.
Fisher passed the ball to Ariza, and West made up the defense.
Ariza doesn't have the skills to attack with the ball, so he can only pass it to Odom.
Odom took off and took a shot, but Chandler jumped in front of him to interfere.
Kobe Bryant was sent off, which greatly improved the morale of the Hornets, and everyone played particularly actively.
The ball missed and the Hornets counterattacked.
Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to guard Peja, but Peterson did not let him do so and struggled with him.
Peja caught the ball after running and hit a three-pointer.
65 to 68, the point difference is only 3 points, and there is still more game time.
Hornets fans saw hope and cheered in front of the TV.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan finally got a shot, but unfortunately he missed the shot.
The Hornets counterattacked, and Paul assisted Chandler to score two more points.
67 to 68, the Hornets are about to gain momentum.
Under normal circumstances, at this time, the team needs to take a timeout to stabilize the team and disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
But Jackson didn't do that.
Zen masters are naturally a little different.
The other Lakers players were a little anxious, but when they saw that Zhang Zhiyuan still looked normal, they immediately felt relieved.
They seemed to instinctively believe that as long as Zhang Zhiyuan didn't panic, the team would still have the advantage.
When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and broke through, reaching the basket. Chandler knocked him down fiercely.
The referee rushed over to prevent the two teams from clashing again.
NBA teams are on fire these days, with one to two conflicts occurring every day on average.
Maybe it's because the playoffs are approaching and every team is under a lot of pressure.
Zhang Zhiyuan stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.
The Hornets attacked, Peja slipped to the baseline, and Odom reluctantly withdrew from the basket to cover.
West caught the ball and jumped, and Bynum slapped him, this time it really hit West's face.
West immediately became angry. Bynum had done this just now, but he was careful to avoid it. He didn't expect Bynum to come now. He was here to play ball, and he clearly wanted to fight.
West wasn't as strong as Bynum, but he didn't give in. He pushed Bynum directly.
Conflict resumes.
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head. He didn't understand why those people were so angry. Can't you just play hard?
When the whistle sounded, the referee became angry and gave technical fouls to Bynum and West respectively.
After processing, the game continues.
The referee was worried about another conflict between the two teams and increased the scale of the whistle.
As long as there is a foul on both sides, the whistle will be blown immediately, without any politeness, and the two teams will not be allowed to have a more intense physical confrontation.
This is a good thing for Zhang Zhiyuan, after all, he is following the technical flow route.
As the Lakers attacked, Peja and Peterson became a little timid on defense.
Peterson just put the ball on Zhang Zhiyuan's waist and was immediately called a foul by the referee.
Peterson held his head, looking aggrieved and angry.
This is just an extremely normal action. What kind of foul is it?
The referees also realized that they went too far, but they would not change it immediately, but insisted on making the penalty.
Zhang Zhiyuan stepped to the free throw line again.
Made both free throws.
71 to 75, the Lakers hold a four-point lead.
The Hornets counterattacked, Paul rushed to the basket, and Odom Bynum's attention was on him.
Then Paul threw the ball and Chandler scored an alley-oop dunk.
73 to 75.
The Lakers attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan missed a three-pointer.
The Hornets' defense was so tight that Zhang Zhiyuan was almost pinched by Peja and Peterson.
During the transition between offense and defense, the Hornets relied on tactical coordination to defeat the Lakers.
Chandler scored consecutively under the basket, and Bynum was confused.
The Lakers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed, Fisher passed the ball to Odom, and Odom missed a jump shot.
The Hornets counterattacked successfully and the Hornets took the lead.
This time the Hornets really gained momentum and played a very efficient offense.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan is still relying on his personal ability to score tenaciously, his efficiency cannot be compared with the Hornets' teamwork. The Hornets have almost scored in these rounds.
The Lakers actually lost to their opponents offensively.
"It seems that Kobe still has some effect."
Buckley joked.
With Kobe around, the Hornets naturally couldn't restrict Zhang Zhiyuan like this, and Kobe's defense also helped the Lakers a lot.
Smith laughed.
Soon, the third quarter was over.
98 to 88, the Hornets led by 10 points. They played an amazing offensive in the third quarter and scored 40 points in a single quarter.
"It looks like the Lakers are going to lose. The impact of missing Kobe will be quite big."
Smith guessed.
"I don't think so. I think the Lakers can reverse it."
Buckley said.
"reason?"
Smith asked.
"There is no reason, it's just my intuition, an intuition unique to men."
Buckley said.
What he actually wanted to say was that Zhang Zhiyuan would definitely win the game while Kobe was away, which would further prove his importance.
However, this speculation cannot be confirmed, and Barkley cannot say it directly. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
