Although Kobe's scoring keeps the Lakers from being as embarrassed as a zero on the books, there is indeed a gap between the Lakers' current strength and state compared to the current Bulls. Therefore, as the game slows down
As the situation progressed slowly, the Lakers gradually began to be unable to withstand the situation.
The fans at the United Center also went from being passionate at the beginning to becoming boring.
It seems that this is the end of the game.
It has been almost a quarter now, and the Lakers have only scored 14 points, and among them, Kobe Bryant has 12 points, while the Bulls have already scored 28 points.
Eddy Curry, a dud, was also replaced by Tomjanovich. The fans at the United Center lost a player to boo and lost a lot of fun.
I originally expected to see a battle between Kobe Bryant and Chen Jie, but because the Lakers were so far behind, Chen Jie didn't seem to be motivated, and he had only scored 6 points so far. The rest of the time, he had been
They are all helping their teammates score, and they have already scored five assists. This is nothing to look forward to.
There really is nothing to attract the interest of fans.
Many Chicago fans at the United Center even ran to the bathroom while the game was still going on.
This game has lost its meaning to them.[
Oh, no, there is another point to watch.
That is, Kwame Brown, the Chicago players still have a lot of hope for this newly added player.
Although the media said this was a stupid deal, Chicago fans didn't think that a management that could choose a star of hope like Chen Jie could degenerate into such a stupid existence so quickly.
So they believe that the Chicago front office must have their reasons for choosing Kwame Brown.
And they really want to know the reason.
Now, if Kwame Brown plays, Chicago fans will definitely cheer up.
In fact, sitting on the court and watching his new teammates trying to abuse his old teammates, Kwame Brown really felt a little itchy.
He glanced at head coach Skiles, expecting Skiles to give him a chance to play.
But at this moment, Scales didn't seem to notice Kwame Brown's expectant eyes.
What was Skiles thinking?
Quite simply, he was wondering if Chen Jie could take a break at this time.
In Skiles' heart, Chen Jie's health is the Bulls' top priority.
Looking at the situation on the court, the Lakers seemed to have no ability to fight back. Let Chen Jie rest for a while, and nothing seemed to happen.
Without Chen Jie, the Bulls players still wouldn't give the Lakers a chance. Scales even felt that Chen Jie didn't have to play in this game.
The current Lakers have become so chaotic, with neither offense nor defense organized. Skiles thinks that even without Chen Jie, the Bulls should still be able to deal with such a Lakers team, right? [
However, Skiles did not dare to take it lightly because of this. From a strength perspective, there was no problem. However, don't forget that the Lakers have a nuclear weapon.
Kobe Bryant, a player like this, cannot be judged by common sense.
No matter how weak the Lakers are, if Kobe can go crazy, the Chicago Bulls may still be in danger.
To deal with Kobe's madness, the Bulls seem to have only one Chen Jie.
It was precisely because of concerns about Kobe that Skiles hesitated.
However, after watching for a while, when the first quarter of the game was finally over and the Bulls came to the inter-quarter break with a nearly twenty-point deficit, and the Lakers' fighting spirit seemed to have been exhausted, Skiles finally made his decision.
Determined.
Facing his five players on the field who didn't even look tired, Scales started his arrangement.
"Jashawn stopped playing in the second quarter and took a break first. Chris and Andis will continue to stay on the court. Edarian and Tyson should also take a break. Antonio, Frank, and...
"
Skiles was stunned when he said that he was looking for someone to replace Griffin.
At this time, Chen Jie suddenly raised his head and said, "Coach, let Kwame play for a while. Anyway, the game is already like this, so it would be good to let Kwame go up and fight, and use the game as a substitute for training. Besides, Kwame is also capable, he
If you go up there, you may not be chased by the Lakers!"
Chen Jie's words can be said to be very beautiful. Not only did he give reasons to convince Scales, but they also did not undermine Kwame's self-confidence.
At least Kwame Brown felt very comfortable hearing this.
Skiles glanced at Kwame Brown and found that his eyes were indeed full of expectation.
Otherwise, really let him play?
Skiles knew that it was definitely impossible for the Lakers to give up the game now. After all, this was only the second quarter.
However, we can’t let Kwame Brown play in garbage time, right?
After all, Kwame Brown is not a player that the Bulls traded to look at the water cooler, and Skiles has high hopes for him.
Now that the Lakers are still going to counterattack, and their lead is still relatively large, how about letting Kwame Brown go up and take a test?
Thinking this, Scales nodded.
"Let's do this, Andis, you move to the outside and play small forward, Antonio is power forward, and Kwame comes on and plays center. Chris and Frank, you two are controlling the ball. Is there any problem?"
Scales asked.
Naturally, these five players nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Kwame Brown was even more excited because he finally had the chance to play.
The lineup arranged by Skiles actually had his own intentions.
Noccioni plays small forward, so he definitely has an advantage in terms of height, and Antonio Davis and Kwame Brown are both considered tall. It can be said that this lineup has an advantage in terms of height.
If you have height, you have rebounds.
As long as he protects the rebounds, even if he can't beat the Lakers with this lineup, at least he won't be quickly chased for points. At that time, Skiles still has room for adjustment.
I have to say that Scales's consideration was very thorough.
The rest between sessions is only one minute.
After Scales finished making these arrangements, it was time to rest between sessions.
The five players whose names had just been called by Scales walked side by side onto the court.
Seeing Kwame Brown actually playing, the fans at the United Center immediately became interested. Although they were cheering for the Bulls just now, their voices obviously had some strength. Many fans were chatting.
They even started making waves.
After all, they are still in a good mood.
But now, seeing Kwame Brown on the court, they seemed to be interested in the game again, and all of them sat upright.
At the same time, the fans at the United Center were not stingy and gave Kwame Brown a loud cheer. Many people also held signs with Kwame Brown’s name on them, and many people even chanted Kwame Brown.
name.
Hearing these voices and seeing such an excited performance from the United Center fans, Kwame Brown felt very comfortable and heartwarming.
The game restarted. For the Lakers, Kobe was still on the court, Odom was also there, and the rest were Divac, Atkins, and Grant.
Looking at the Bulls' lineup, Kobe felt deeply ashamed and decided to give the Bulls a good look.
But first, the one who needs to attack first is Chicago.
Kwame Brown volunteered and actively sent the baseline ball, passing the ball to Chris Duhon. Then, he also set a pick-and-roll for Chris Duhon in the midfield, helping Chris Duhon get rid of the follower.
His Atkins.
This scene made Scales very satisfied. He touched his chin and smiled.
After halftime, Chris Duhon dribbled the ball first to look for a breakthrough opportunity. Since Chen Jie was not present, Kobe Bryant guarded Frank on the Lakers' side. In front of Duhon was Atkins.
This player Duhong was not afraid. He dribbled the ball a few times and found that Atkins was standing in front. He immediately chose a breakthrough.
After passing Atkins, Duhon went straight inside. Facing Divac who stepped forward to block, Duhon chose to pass the ball to Kwame Brown.
However, Kwame Brown did not catch this ball.
He seemed to only be thinking about grabbing rebounds and didn't even notice Duhong's pass. (To be continued...)
