Chapter 845 Finally touched the corner of victory and the 4D outbreak is complete~
Because there is not much time, this ball is quite critical for the Lakers. If it cannot be scored, the Spurs will definitely delay the next ball. In this way, there will be less than 1 minute left, and there will be a chance for a comeback.
Even smaller.
As for who on the Lakers is best suited to play this kind of game, of course No. 24 Kobe Bryant is the first choice.
He must do the same.
Otherwise, no matter whether it is Gasol, Tang Qian, Nick Young or Meeks, they are all not suitable to attack this kind of ball alone.
Kobe is still the most suitable.
No. 24 looked at the No. 3 rookie of the Spurs in front of him, and his eyes became a little cold. He had just been hit in the back of the head by the latter. This matter will not be forgotten so easily with the viper personality of the Black Mamba. Plus
Due to the current unfavorable situation of the Lakers, Kobe's entire state has become more and more concentrated.
Leonard still had the expressionless look on his face, spreading his hands and bending his knees to half-crouch, openly welcoming Kobe's attack.
The Lakers also opened up the ball, preparing to give Kobe enough space and time to beat his opponent in isolation.
This ball is too important to miss.
"Oh~ It's Kawhi facing the Black Mamba again! There are a lot of shots like this in this series! Although this game still scored a lot of points on the 24th, but if you look at the data, Kawhi's limitations have been
He is the best among them all! He should be a strong controller of the league's first defense in the future!" Bill Rand, the Spurs' on-site commentator, said: "I hope he can block Kobe's ball."
"Let's cheer for Kawhi! Defend! Defend! Defend!!!" Another on-site commentator, Sean Elliott, also said.
5 minutes, less than a minute and a half, that is, less than 90 seconds, the final battle begins.
Leonard's defensive status has obviously improved again. In Kobe's opinion, he is truly the strongest perimeter defender he has ever seen.
Including Jordan. After all, when Kobe entered the league, Jordan was already old, and the Flyers were also at the "advanced age" of 34 in the 1996-97 season. It was impossible to still have the defensive status and defensive energy of DPOY back then. So Leonard is
Kobe was the strongest perimeter defender he had ever seen, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Kobe broke through, but Leonard followed the first step and was not broken through at once.
This is very rare. With Kobe's physical condition this season and more than ten years of offensive experience, it is difficult for ordinary defensive players to block it. So for now, Leonard's defense has reached the level of first-line defense.
It's the pinnacle. Otherwise, Kobe would have been completely beaten by him right now.
Kobe immediately changed his posture, made a feint and stopped suddenly, and then used his back foot to directly attack Leonard's left knee. This is the true meaning and essence of excellence, which is to kill the ankle or knee. Don't understand it wrong.
This is not for you to actually attack these two parts of your opponent's body, it's just the location of the concentration point for breakthrough. Many people don't have a clear area point for breakthrough, which is why the breakthrough is not strong or fluent. But in this
In American basketball, many people know the trick to breaking through, because as long as you hold up your opponent's knee or ankle, the opponent's movement will "stiffen" and "slow down", thus giving you the best opportunity to break through.
If you look at the NBA, many times some stars can pass their opponents in one step, as if the defender is frozen in place. This is the link and secret.
This is also an excellent way to break through and seize position.
But what is surprising is that Leonard actually kept up again. His defensive awareness and defensive talent are simply innate.
But No. 24 didn't intend to stop. After slightly adjusting his body's center of gravity, he made a continuous small sway of his body, and then used a classic breakthrough move. The English name is "Treadmill", and the Chinese name is Treadmill.
Pass. And Kobe is not an ordinary "Treadmill" this time. He still adds a prefix of a feint shoulder swing to step into the pass. For players with poor basic skills, it is difficult to just connect, let alone
It's as smooth and rounded as Kobe's.
In order to ensure the maximum hit rate, Kobe was determined to completely pass the Spurs No. 2 in front of him with this ball.
Kobe took a big step, and then quickly threw the basketball into the distance. Once this technical move was completed, it would definitely be an explosive breakthrough effect and breakthrough scene. But who knew that the "face-paralyzed young man" on the opposite side would break out again and defend again?
In "Defending The.Zone", this ability made Kobe feel incredible.
This young man may be a super defensive lock on the outside in the future. He can trigger the "Defend The.Zone" state so easily in the third grade. Even Kobe himself cannot do it easily. But... you think you can block it like this.
Did I?
Kobe suddenly pulled the ball back, and then the rhythm changed, and the small steps under his feet began to become a bit intensive.
Many people know about the small step, but a few people know that the real small step is not a foul, but a superb dribbling breakthrough technique. There is a basic dribbling rule in basketball, that is, "If you don't hold the ball, you will
"No step". What does that mean? That is, the time between two times when your palm touches the basketball, you can theoretically take countless steps, if you can do it.
Therefore, in many backcourt fast breaks, one dribble sometimes goes very far, so players have to run several steps to connect to the next dribble. This is a typical manifestation of the principle of "no walking without holding the ball". However,
The domestic basketball system has not been truly systematic, so many people even with semi-professional backgrounds are confused and always use the past and the rules mixed with the present. All of a sudden, even Leonard was confused by this continuous small game.
The broken steps caused the center of gravity to drift a bit. There is no way, Kobe's offensive threat is too great this season, and he cannot be completely calm like defending ordinary stars.
Isn't there a saying...
Kobe took action again. He took a left step, and Leonard quickly followed. But at this time, Kobe pulled his feet back and dribbled in front of his body, seeming to change direction and go to the other side. Leonard also
The center of gravity was changed immediately, but at this moment, No. 24 stepped out with his left foot again, and his speed was several minutes faster than before. This was due to the change of center of gravity and the "leverage" generated in the feet and torso.
"Power" can make the human body explode instantly, which is stronger than normal operation.
Leonard wanted to move hard to the right, but it was already too late. His right knee had been caught by Kobe's advancing body, so he could only watch No. 24 completely break through from him. Then 2 from the free throw line
Take off the ball calmly and shoot the jump shot without interference.
Brush~the ball goes in~
The Lakers are still 3 points away.
"You are very strong young man, but... if you want to guard against me, you are still close."
After scoring No. 24, he passed by Kawhi Leonard.
There are still 3 points left.
The Spurs organized an effective mid-range shot, but Parker failed to shoot the ball. Tang Qian grabbed the defensive rebound tightly and no one could stop it.
"Bryant, do it again!" Tang Qian passed the ball directly to Kobe in the backcourt. The time was less than a minute. At this time, the Lakers couldn't afford any mistakes, so they gave the basketball to the most reliable person.
Putting it in the hands of the strongest person is also a basic strategy. Kobe nodded, got the ball and drove it towards the Spurs' half.
The Spurs' basic defensive tactics are still the same, with super defense on the outside and one-on-one defense, and everyone defending the inside, preventing the Lakers from directly attacking the basket at critical moments. The offensive mode and offensive area with the highest probability of defensive success are the Spurs.
The team has adopted a defensive philosophy for nearly two decades since Popovich took over. Therefore, they have always had a stable record, but they are often defeated by some offensive modes with a low probability of offensive success.
For example, Kobe's "blind hits" are one type.
Because this is originally unreasonable and has a low probability, but when the Spurs lose, they often lose because of this.
The reason why Kobe is known as the "Spurs Killer" is that the Spurs' defensive philosophy is exactly restrained by him.
However, the Spurs are not stupid, and have highly strengthened and compensated for the weak points of this defensive philosophy.
For example, for more than ten years, the Spurs have basically had a strong perimeter defense point. It used to be Bowen, and now it's Kawhi Leonard. But when this point is missing, the Spurs are at their weakest.
A period of time. This is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Leonard looked at the oncoming No. 24, his body lower than before. He was like a cheetah staring closely at its prey. That look in his eyes revealed the feeling of determined to tear the prey into pieces.
Kobe saw it, but he didn't dodge at all. The same light shone in his eyes.
I didn't expect to meet such a person at the end of my career. It's really... not bad.
But it's a pity that you met me.
If Ginobili's unreasonable behavior just now was done occasionally, then Kobe's behavior can be considered as routine.
In fact, before Nash came back, he played like this, and 95% of his career was like this.
so……
Lakers No. 24 took a step against the defender, Leonard, and then jumped up directly. The momentum, decisiveness and resoluteness were all things Leonard had never heard or seen before. It was like saying, Hey, I
I just want to defeat you so simply and directly!
Leonard also took off, and his hand was almost touching the basketball. From a defensive perspective, apart from blocking the shot, it could definitely be regarded as a successful defense. However, a few seconds later, something appeared behind him.
A crisp "swipe" sound.
The basketball simply shot into the Spurs' net.
This shot excited countless Lakers fans in front of TV sets and computers, because in their minds, this is how Kobe Bryant played at his peak.
Tough, domineering, fierce, and not at all shy.
This kind of goal boosts the morale of the team, but also demoralizes the opposing team.
Your defense has basically reached 99 points, what else do you want? But, you just can’t defend it.
However, the opponent can still score goals.
Kobe didn't speak after landing, but he deliberately glanced at Leonard. From this look, the latter read many emotions, and the strongest one was... Hey, did you see it?
Did you see it? What did you see? Of course it was this shot! Of course it was this score!
What else can there be?
The score was tied, the Spurs quickly called a timeout, and then Popovich arranged a tactical ball.
The Lakers are still the same as this round. There are not too many tactical operations, but more encouragement and cheering slogans.
D'Antoni also tried his best, but he couldn't use his tactics and couldn't defeat the "old drunkard", but he wouldn't do nothing. At least he still spared no effort in motivating and shouting slogans. Although the effect may be
At once……
The two sides returned to the field. The Spurs replaced Ginobili and replaced them with high-quality "3D player" Danny Green. The Lakers had no changes. They were still Kobe + Nick Young + Meeks + Gasol.
+Tang Qian. The Lakers don't have as good a player replacement system as the Spurs, and when the tactics can't be developed, manipulating the main force is the best stupid way at the moment.
In this game, except for Nash, Kobe + Gasol + Tang Qian all played more than 40 minutes. Especially Kobe, who basically didn't rest for a minute and kept fighting on the court.
After all, the Lakers can't afford to lose in this game, and neither can they afford to lose on the 24th.
Losing means that his season is over and his career is over.
The Spurs opened up their tactics and played a partial tactical coordination, covered by Duncan in the low post, and then Tony Parker rushed into the Lakers' inside. Will Parker make a layup? No, this is a fake move.
The basketball was passed to Kawhi Leonard, who used a screen from the center and went straight down. Leonard took the ball and took a step inside the penalty area to prepare for a shot.
It seems that Popovich still took into account the shot-blocking power of Lakers No. 29, so he just let Leonard get up and shoot not far from the penalty area. After all, compared to layups, shots are less likely to be blocked. Gasol
I was attracted by Parker, so now I can't make up for it in time.
Tang Qian wanted to rush out to make up for the defense, but at this moment, a person blocked Tang Qian's way to make up the defense.
He is Tim Duncan. His low-post support has long been superb. This ball, for example, is a good concrete portrayal. This ball is not even a cover, it just seems to be blocking Tang Qian's movement path.
, but it also bought enough time for Leonard to take action.
Although Tang Qian quickly got rid of Duncan, at this distance, there was nothing he could do.
Bill Rand, the Spurs' on-site commentator, spoke into the microphone and said: "As long as Leonard is not disturbed by this ball, he should be very confident in throwing it. Leonard has already practiced the mid-range this season.
I think interference-free shooting at this distance is at least..." Before he could finish his words, the only yellow-skinned figure on the field suddenly stood up from the ground, looking at his posture, as if he was trying to block a shot.
"He hasn't given up yet? This distance is impossible unless he... what, what??? He jumped so high??? He, did his ball fly???" Tang Qian once again
After entering the "Defensive The.Zone", his reach began to rise rapidly. Visible to the naked eye, it soon exceeded the basket by a large margin.
It hasn't stopped yet, it's still rising, the little arms are beyond the basket, the elbows are beyond the basket, the head is beyond the basket, the shoulders...are beyond the basket...still rising!!!
This ball made Ginobili feel very bad on the court. He suddenly remembered something. He felt that Duncan should not have gotten out of the way so easily. He should not have let the Eastern No. 29 run over after blocking it.
As the basketball was rising, it was touched by a small fingertip. Then, it lost its original trajectory and fell slumped.
He can touch that ball too??? How high did this guy jump just now??? Was he almost touching the top edge of the backboard???
Even Leonard's "paralyzed face" showed a look of astonishment in his eyes. After all, this was the first time in his life that he had "personally experienced" such a high shot-blocking point.
"rebound!"
Popovich shouted loudly from the sidelines, and Gasol struggled to grab the ball, but Duncan, who was closer, took a step faster, seized the opportunity, and got stuck.
OK! Once we get the rebound, we can delay another 24 seconds, and then we win!
Just as Popovich was thinking about it, the scene changed again. No. 29, who had just blocked a shot, actually jumped into the air again. Although he was a little unstable and staggered, he still managed to jump up. The speed of the bullet and the strength of his feet were both greater than
He surpasses any big man in the modern NBA league. Although he does not have the best position to grab rebounds, but...
He still relied on his elasticity and wingspan to deflect the ball away.
Then land and grab again.
Still no place?
He jumped up again, and this time the rebound was finally placed in a controllable position of Tang Qian, and then he rose up again.
Those feet were like mechanical feet, as if they were unaware of pain and fatigue.
Pa~
Finally, the orange basketball was taken into the hands of No. 29, and then taking advantage of the chaos, Tang Qian threw the ball directly to the frontcourt. At this time, Kobe had already rushed out. The Spurs' No. 2 also
Not slow at all, just like a shadow.
But this Kobe is not the half-disabled Kobe from the original 13-14 season. His speed has returned to his peak, so he finally got the basketball first. Then, regardless of Leonard chasing behind him, a
A reverse spoon dunk under the basket not only avoided Leonard's block, but also made this crucial dunk.
Popovich's face suddenly darkened, and without hesitation, he called a timeout.
There were only 10.8 seconds left, and the Lakers led by 2 points! Finally, they tasted victory in this series!
