Chapter 186: Two consecutive victories, two consecutive losses and three consecutive losses
Chapter 186: Two consecutive wins, two consecutive losses (3)
Lindero Barbosa's casual and somewhat willful shot can be said to be the last straw that overwhelms the balance of the game. The man who lost confidence refused to help, and in the subsequent attack, La La, who had not started for a long time,
Demanovic hit a three-pointer with 35 seconds left in the game!
This three-pointer immediately extended the Lakers' lead to 7 points. With 35 seconds left, this was already an extremely safe score. The miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes was precisely because of the rarity of this.
That's why it was called a miracle. The media said that Tracy McGrady was possessed by God at that moment. Do you think God is so free and likes to possess him for fun when he has nothing to do?
As Steve Nash missed a three-pointer, Marion directly fouled Kwame Brown who grabbed the rebound. Kwame Brown, who has always been very unreliable in free throws, especially free throws at critical moments, generally speaking in the game
In the final stage, he was bound to become the target of the opponent's foul tactics, but this time something unexpected happened.
When the basketball stumbled into the basket for the second time, Kwame Brown's eyes filled with excitement. He couldn't help but raised his fist and shouted: "Ah!" It should be noted that this free throw not only increased Kwame Brown's score to
10 points and 13 rebounds successfully scored a double-double. More importantly, Kwame Brown has played nearly 80 games for the Lakers this season. His playing time is not short and he has not committed too many fouls.
The number of free throws and two-for-two free throws can be counted on one hand. Adding these two and two, plus Kwame Brown's two-for-one free throw at a critical moment, can be said to have pushed the Suns towards the end of the road.
A handful. I'm afraid even the theoretical hope is slim. How can he be dissatisfied?
The final score was 113:109. Although the Lakers did not score in the last minute, the Suns failed to regain the score. After losing the core of the team, the first star, and the first general Kobe Bryant
After that, the Lakers snatched a victory from the Suns despite the fact that no one was optimistic about it.
"What a pity, Steve." After the game, Adrian saw Nash and greeted him with a smile. The two people, who were also covered in sweat, hugged, and in Nash's ear, Adrian couldn't help but
He whispered slightly proudly: "Even without Kobe, we still won."
"Don't be too proud, Adrian." Although he was very disappointed with this result, at this time, Steve Nash was unwilling to fall into a verbal disadvantage anyway: "Anyway, this game is the best match for you this season.
This is the last victory we got, so I'll leave it to you. When we get to Phoenix, we won't let you have any chance again."
"Then let's wait until we get to Phoenix to say this." Although the game will determine the outcome, it is certainly the same thing outside. But now here, neither of them is willing to fall into a disadvantage in terms of words. They will give the other side nothing.
With his momentum rising, Adrian said nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's my victory now."
With so many pairs of eyes watching, both Adrian and Steve Nash knew that it was not good for them to stand here talking for too long, so after a few words of probing each other, the two parties naturally separated and each raised his eyebrows.
Smiling faces greeted the media. There, his teammates were already being interviewed by the media, but more media reporters were waiting. When they saw Adrian walking towards the sidelines, they immediately swarmed up and handed out the
The microphone seemed to be reaching into Adrian's mouth. All kinds of questions related to the game and unrelated to the game were thrown at Adrian. For Adrian, these reporters expressed
There was far more enthusiasm and excitement than usual.
Adrian couldn't help but take a step back and looked towards Nash's side, only to see that Nash's side was completely different from his own. Apparently the Phoenix media had also traveled to Los Angeles with the Suns.
The impact of this victory was fully demonstrated after the game.
To be honest, when Kobe Bryant was injured and was carried off the game, the Los Angeles Lakers were in mourning. Why, no confidence!
After O'Neal left, the Lakers only had one shot that Kobe Bryant could take. This season, he is the scoring champion. He can be said to be the soul and signature of the Los Angeles Lakers. Although Adrian's rise this season is rapid, but
Another meaning of his rapid rise is that he has no foundation, even though he is from Los Angeles and even though the Los Angeles fans like him.
But no one expects Adrian to rely on one person's strength to support the Lakers like Kobe. In most people's understanding, Adrian is just a person around Kobe, a suitable second-in-command!
But after this game, the situation was obviously different.
The Lakers won a playoff game for the first time without Kobe. Although Odom scored 35 points in the game and was the team's scoring leader, Adrian scored 22 points and 17 assists.
But he also scored a double-double and was elected as the mvp of this game. Anyone who watched the game will understand that Adrian was in control of the game almost throughout the game, not to mention that he continued to control the game in the final stage of the game.
Scored ten points, almost in the final stage, one person ended the sun.
"Even without Kobe, we still have Adrian!" Not only the players will be interviewed, but after the game, the media will also go to the fans to interview the fans. An excited Lakers fan shouted loudly during the interview
He said this sentence. This was originally just to express his joy at winning the game and his love for Adrian.
But this inexplicable sentence really touched some people's strange thoughts. But this is a story for another time, so I won't describe it one by one here.
But more people are concerned about tactics.
In the second game against the Suns, Lakers coach Phil Jackson suddenly changed the triangle offense that he had insisted on in the past, and which the Lakers have been insisting on in recent years, and switched to a pick-and-roll tactic. This is the most important thing.
Amazing and the most unbelievable change.
You must know that since Phil Jackson became famous, he and his triangle offensive tactics have always been commented together. Now, suddenly, Phil Jackson suddenly gave up the game tactics that he has always insisted on in the past. How can this be done?
It's impossible to make people believe it easily without screaming loudly?
"During the game against the Suns, Phil Jackson suddenly used Lamar Odom as his main force and changed the tactics that the Lakers had persisted for several years. Although in the long run, this tactical change will be more attractive after all.
Whether it is good or bad is yet to be seen, but judging from the current game situation, Phil Jackson has indeed found a tactic that is most suitable for the current Lakers who have lost Kobe. The off-duty tactic combines Adrian's scheduling ability and
Odom's offensive ability was fully utilized, making the Lakers
They still won the game against the Suns despite losing their first core, Kobe. Phil Jackson's adjustments were undoubtedly very wise. They successfully made up for the shortcomings of the triangle offense's lack of offensive power after losing Kobe, and even strengthened the inside line.
Defensive ability. From the current point of view, Phil Jackson and this special Lakers are undoubtedly very successful. I think Phil Jackson will definitely implement the essence of pick-and-roll tactics in the next games."——
ESPN columnist Bill Simmons.
"The Lakers took a big risk and achieved a certain degree of success. But I want to say that it is simply impossible for the Lakers to insist on playing pick-and-rolls in the next game."
There will never be a shortage of opponents in this world. Some people support it, while others naturally oppose it. J-A-Adande directly jumped out and said that Phil Jackson's sudden change to pick-and-roll tactics was a successful but stupid risk.
"Although the Lakers have achieved temporary success, winning a game in the playoffs cannot determine anything. On the contrary, the sudden change to a pick-and-roll offense did cause chaos for the opponent Suns. Obviously, they did not
I never realized that the Lakers might suddenly change their tactics, but it was just this game. After this game, the Suns would definitely make some changes.
Respond accordingly. On the contrary, the Lakers themselves will suffer the bitter consequences of sudden changes in tactics. Most of the current Lakers have experienced two to three years of triangle offense, and they are extremely proficient in the triangle offense. The pick-and-roll tactics are for them.
It is undoubtedly a brand new attempt. The Lakers made as many as 18 mistakes in the whole game, which shows that the Lakers players are not familiar with this tactic..."
He wrote a long paragraph without stopping, saying nothing more than saying that it was unwise for the Lakers to give up the triangle offense they were accustomed to and change their tactics. If Phil Jackson was rational, he should change his tactics back to the triangle offense.
On the track. Of course, whether Phil Jackson will accept his suggestion as a 'brick master' is no longer a matter of course.
Dander is considering it. If Phil Jackson changes his tactics, he can brag that Phil Jackson accepted his opinion. If Phil Jackson insists on pick-and-roll, there are two outcomes: losing and winning.
Just call it luck, and call it bad consequences if you lose. Anyway, no matter what, he, a 'brick master', can get royalties.
The world is big and the dollar is the biggest, as long as you can get the royalties, that's all. As for what you really think... Haha, a person's mouth has two skins. Who knows what he really thinks when he looks up and down?
His goal was indeed achieved.
Because next, the Lakers went to Phoenix and lost two games in a row. (To be continued...)
