Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 134
Less than two minutes after the start of the second half, Barkley suddenly felt discomfort in his legs and could only be replaced early, which also made the Lakers very passive.
The Lakers used rookie Nowitzki to play the fourth position, directly against O’Neal. O’Neal’s current playing style is a bit similar to that of the later King Stoudemire, which is also the positioning of the Rockets.
In the third quarter, Nowitzki was at a disadvantage for almost the entire game. Even if the German chariot in the future has not experienced wind and rain, it will still be beaten.
As a result, the Rockets’ pace became faster and faster, and three-point shots began to increase. Even Carter and Pierce made several three-pointers.
Kobe has made a lot of efforts to limit Nash, but Duncan’s pick-and-roll for Nash is too good, Kobe has nothing to do with the two.
Since he could not defend the opponent, the old Nelson simply replaced Nowitzki with Horry with two minutes left in the third quarter, and began to fight the offense with the Rockets.
The fast-paced battle between the two teams excited the audience on and off the court. Stern, who was guarding the TV, was also very proud of his new season’s opening arrangements. Only good-looking games can retain the audience. Increase ratings.
“Adam, let the news department draw up a propaganda plan tomorrow. The Western Conference will focus on propagating the Lakers and Rockets battle. In addition, Iverson and McGrady will be brought out to guide the two to challenge Kobe’s public opinion. In addition, focus on Carter and give some as appropriate. Propaganda, his style is very attractive to fans.”
After Jordan retired, although Kobe filled the vacancy of the league’s signature, the damage from the lockout was too great. Stern must find ways to introduce new aspects of the league and support as many stars as possible with gorgeous play styles.
The Rockets widened the point difference to 18 points at the end of the third quarter, which many people did not expect beforehand.
The live broadcast came to the sidelines. Old Neal was explaining the tactics with the players holding the tactical board, and he didn’t look very eager.
Magic began to emphasize: “This is the first game of the new season. Many teams have not adjusted. The Lakers have lost many veterans, which has also reduced their strength a lot!”
Smith said: “We can see that the Lakers are playing a bit messy, O’Neal is restricted by Duncan, which makes the Lakers relied on the combination of inside and outside has not been played out, we hope that the old Nelson can make effective adjustments.”
The Lakers fans on the scene were very disappointed. They hope the Lakers can show the overwhelming advantage of last season, instead of being suppressed by the opponent.
After the start of the fourth quarter, old Nelson replaced Lewis and Mobley with Kobe, O’Neal, and Ray Allen. The situation on the court was obviously much better, and the Lakers began to chase points.
Seeing the unstable situation on the field, D’Antoni immediately replaced Bowen and Stephen Jackson, and began to conduct targeted defenses against Lewis and Mobley. The game between the two teams was once again deadlocked.
With five minutes left in the final quarter, the Rockets led the Lakers by fifteen points, and the game was about to enter garbage time. At this time, Nelson paused and started a new adjustment.
Online comments believe that the general trend is over, the Lakers may usher in a black door, Rudy and D’Antoni also believe that the Lakers will not have too many ways to encourage the Rockets players to persevere and strive to win the Lakers at Staples.
After the timeout, everyone found that old Nelson had changed again. He pushed this year’s rookie Ryan Bowen to the fifth position and partnered with Horry on the inside. The veteran Eddie Jones played the small forward again, Kobe and Ray. Allen formed a double shot in the backcourt.
After the game started, Kobe dribbled the ball for halftime. After Jones pulled out the three-point line for a pick-and-roll, Kobe flicked and threw off Carter to shoot a three-pointer. The basketball arc was high and the ball went into the net with a hollow.
Nash went directly to the fast break and passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan faced Ryan Bowen’s defense and failed to make a shot. Bryant rushed to grab the rebound and passed it directly to Ray Allen.
Ray Allen dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, Horry helped with the pick-and-roll and then made a jumper for a three-pointer.
Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and was blocked by Kobe. He scored the ball to Carter who had a strong push to the basket. Carter scored the ball and then gave O’Neal a hit.
In the last five minutes, the Lakers kept pressing on the defensive end, and Kobe and Ray Allen on the offensive end used the screens of their teammates to shoot three-pointers.
On one occasion, Pierce knocked Kobe out of balance, but he shot the ball two steps away from the three-point line.
If the audience of later generations sees it, they will find that Kobe and Ray Allen play very close to Curry and Thompson in the peak Warriors. But Kobe is taller and stronger than Curry, Ray Allen is also faster than Thompson, this is simply an enhanced version of Splash Brothers.
With one minute left in the game, the score was 118 to 118. The Lakers used Kobe and Ray Allen’s crazy shots to tie the score. D’Antoni was stunned and called a timeout. Rudy Tomjanovich picked up the tactical board for the first time in this game and began to set up tasks.
Ray Allen, who walked to the sidelines, suddenly hugged Kobe and kept saying thank you. This is the first time he has made so many three-pointers since he entered the league, and also the first time he has played so well.
The Magician exclaimed: “There have been rumors that Kobe has been hiding himself. I and many fans do not believe it. Even if he defeated Jordan in the finals last season, I think he has already used all his strength, but just now he and Ray Allen’s three-point torrential rain, I discovered that Kobe can actually play such a perverted game~www.mtlnovel.com~ Smith praised: “Kobe seems to have a kind of magic, he can not only make himself burst, but also complete his teammates, O’Neal and He formed the strongest inside and outside combination in history, and now he and Ray Allen have formed the most terrifying outside combination in history. This is really amazing! “
The magician said: “I think the Bucks management must have regretted it. They have never recognized Ray Allen. Ray Allen was completely inspired by the Lakers.”
In the last minute, the two teams played epic games. After returning from the timeout, Nash used Duncan’s pick and roll to hit a three-pointer from a distance of one meter away from the three-point line. Before the Rockets were in place, Kobe and Ray Allen cross-screened from outside the three-point line. Lun scored a three-pointer to tie the score.
Until the last two seconds, Stephen Jackson almost locked all of Ray Allen’s shooting routes, Bowen and O’Neal also clamped Kobe to death, but Kobe still used a juggling action to pass the ball from O’Neal to the hip. With Horry, Horry didn’t stop at all, and directly moved the ball to the basket. The basketball hit the basket three times, and finally rolled into the basket unwillingly.
The final 125 to 123, the Lakers narrowly beat the Rockets at home.
