The God of Basketball - Chapter 716
In the face of his old opponent, Kobe Bryant didn’t dare to underestimate the enemy. He cautiously launched a trial step, then used the most secure way to play back singles, and only turned over to jump shot after he was able to defend.
The basketball hits steadily.
Kobe returned.
Easy side to fight again, the Clippers are still in charge of Li Zhen, he is very calm to get a chance on the wing. However, just like the first quarter, he did not choose to attack on his own. Instead, after tearing up a fan of the Lakers’ defense, he quickly passed the basketball to Vince Carter, who was rushing from the weak side.
Mr. Wang, the greatest dunk in NBA history, flew across the air. He received a basketball in the air, flew through the gap between Chris Carman and Humphries, and even came to a beautiful little windmill plus a drop. Throwing the lever… always getting older, but more coquettish.
boom!
The rim was slammed by Vince Carter.
Then, he landed gracefully.
It is still the UFO of unknown origin, and it is still the outstanding demeanor of half human and half god.
The Staples Arena burst into cheers, just like Iverson’s magical throw. The wonderful performances of the two veterans always ignite the enthusiasm of the audience.
Reggie Miller couldn’t help feeling that the veteran was not dead.
For these experienced veterans, their ability to seize opportunities is far better than that of young boys. And these people have been the core, the ability to react on the spot is by no means comparable to ordinary players.
If it is an ordinary team, they will become dissatisfied because of the decline in physical talent, after all, they are used to core play. But here in the Clippers, there is no problem.
Because Li Zhen can clear the battlefield for them and let them show their talents in Easy mode.
With the recovery in the first half of the season, the lethality of these veterans was finally released.
Li Zhen has always known that he must not be able to fight the Los Angeles Lakers, and even the New York Knicks.
But what if it is a star player?
Li Zhen opened up a new path.
He wants to start building an all-star team…It’s not that everyone has the true strength of an All-Star, but once they appear on the court, you have to deal with them in an All-Star state.
This is the real meaning of recruiting veterans.
These once brilliant veterans joined the team, they must not be regarded as oil bottles holding their thighs and asking for a championship ring, and they should not be allowed to cut their feet and perform their own martial arts.
The best way is to allow them to provide peak abilities within a certain playing time.
It may be a little harder to achieve this.
But the performance of Allen Iverson and Vince Carter over this period of time told Li Zhen: It is almost done.
Looking back, Li Zhen helped O’Neal catch the turned Chris Kaman in the paint zone. Chris Kaman hurriedly shot and was slapped by O’Neal, a former shot blocker.
After a long rest, O’Neal recovered well.
Although he is also the golden generation of 96, but his age is as old as Kobe. Is the youngest of this group of veterans.
Although his athletic ability is lagging behind the peak period, his experience consciousness is still there, and his work has not weakened. For a floor-flowing power forward, his career could have been very long.
Back in the front court, Li Zhen gave him a chance.
He tricked Humphries away in the singles and then threw the basketball into the basket with a soft mid-range shot.
The Clippers are still on par with the Lakers.
Although the Lakers still have two giants on the court, and the Clippers have only Li Zhen.
Li Zhen has been making clothes for others.
Kobe and the Lakers coaching staff were caught up in huge worries. Bryant even asked Li Zhen under his irritation: “Aren’t you fighting for the triple-double per game and the scoring champion?”
This sentence seems to have the anger and complaint of lovers.
Li Zhenbai gave Kobe a glance. “You and I have been together for so many years, don’t you still know my mind?”
“Am I the kind of person who loses victory for data?”
Li Zhen sprayed trash talk back and forth.
Kobe’s eyebrows frowned: “Then you used to be so disregarded to scan data?”
“It’s just acting.”
Li Zhen blocked Kobe’s throat.
Kobe’s words were stuffed into his throat.
McBrown requested a timeout in the fifth minute of the second quarter. Although he is a weak leader, he has been either a concubine for LeBron James or a match for Kobe Bryant over the years. But he can also tell: Time is not on the Lakers’ side. The Clippers are really strong and powerful. They are fighting on wheels!
Mike Brown is so smart.
But this is a shame.
The wonder of Yangmou is that you can see through it, but you can’t break it.
As the Lakers went from leading by 2 points to 2 points behind, McBrown decided to let Yao Xuan play.
Yao Xuan had rested for so long, he should be able to hold a wave.
Beep!
No matter how the whistle sounded, the game continued.
The Los Angeles Clippers have changed their faces again.
Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Milicic, and O’Neal who played well before have all replaced.
Replaced by Jason Kidd, Jimmy Butler, Eddie Griffin, Blake Griffin.
This is breaking up the battle to fight!
Looking for death!
Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul looked at each other and threw the basketball to Yao Huang decisively.
Yao Xuan immediately turned back and singles Blake Griffin.
But as soon as he received the ball, his national teammate Li Zhen went out aggressively from one side, using his solid strength and long arms to constantly harass Yao Huang’s next game.
Yao Huang can only play high.
Huh!
Although the basketball scored, it was shocked in a cold sweat.
Pinching Yao Huang is a magic weapon for other teams to deal with the Lakers.
But who would have thought that the person who flanked him was Li Zhen.
Li Zhen has a solid chassis, strong strength, agile body, and has long hands and feet, coming and going like the wind… He is a must-have Kyao medicine at home!
Eddie Griffin quickly handed the basketball to Jason Kidd.
Although Kidd’s running ability is not as good as when he was young, the old boy’s long pass has been unparalleled since he was still in high school in California, so a long pass threw the basketball into the hands of Li Zhen, who was fast on the frontcourt. .
Chris Paul desperately pursued.
What’s the point?
Although he is a small gun.
But in the face of the roaring track of the tank, he could only be knocked open obediently and witnessed Li Zhen hit the paint zone and dunk him for his life!
Seeing Li Zhen hanging on the rim, Chris Paul’s small eyes were full of sadness.
He still couldn’t stop Li Zhen.
Just like when Li Zhen launched an attack on the best point guard, even though most of the league’s superstars stood behind him, even though the media supported him.
But the result?
It wasn’t Li Zhen’s strong and domineering take away. Protrusively.
With Li Zhen’s focus on scoring champion and triple-double this season, people gradually re-elevate him to the first point guard.
Yao Huang did not have the desired effect.
McBrown was expecting Yao Huang to forcefully play out of the paint zone, but as Li Zhen continued to compress his defense to the basket, Yao Huang’s skill was compromised.
At the same time, Kobe Bryant was also entangled by a tough guy.
Jimmy Butler, the steely man, upholds the toughness taught by his predecessors, and he entangles himself in front of Kobe.
Kobe was uncomfortable by him.
Although still able to score.
But this guy is really indomitable, and he is not disturbed by trash talk.
How many goals you score on his head, he has a Sima face, and his teeth are clattering and clacking forward with you desperately.
Kobe is a tough guy, but he is somewhat affected.
At the same time, Chris Paul is also experiencing Jason Kidd’s entanglement.
Old Kidd is a good defensive player when he is physically fit.
And in terms of seniority, this guy can be regarded as the queen dowager in the field of point guards… Nash is the first point guard after him, which can be called the queen dowager. Chris Paul is the right point guard at home. It is the queen.
The last palace fighting champion faced this palace fighting champion.
Although the body is not as good as the bones, the experience is enough for Chris Paul to eat a pot.
Moreover, Kidd didn’t have the normal mind to consume with Paul. Just compress it for 10 minutes.
The Clippers’ lineup is too neat now, and the veterans are asking for extreme bursts when they come on the court, no matter what they are.
Everyone is an old man chatting and going crazy!
The second quarter of the game ended soon.
58:63.
The Clippers abruptly established a 5-point lead.
This made Staples Arena fans exasperated, and the ESPN commentator also shouted incredible.
The Lakers’ 58 points at halftime are absolutely normal.
The Big Three is as strong as ever.
However, the Clippers can score 63 points under the hands of the Lakers at halftime, which is really shocking.
“The Clippers’ lineup is so abundant. I used to think that these veterans came to hug their thighs. As a result… They were so brave one by one, and today can be said to be a collective explosion.” Bill Walton was at halftime. Said when.
However, this statement was refuted by Reggie Miller.
Reggie Miller watched half of the game and finally saw some clues.
He told Old Wharton: “I don’t think the veterans broke out collectively. I think this is their normal performance, and anyone who despises them will be taught by them.”
“If you look closely at the game, you will find… Bruce has only scored 6 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in this game. If it were before, he should have at least 15 points or 20 points at this time.”
“This shows one thing, Bruce is using his powerful attack threat to create a relatively relaxed environment for his teammates. This is why we see these superstars one by one show their bravery.”
“This is equivalent to the Bruce letting them enter a lower level of competition. Of course, these superstars can play explosively.”
Reggie Miller’s eyes were very harsh.
But this time.
Bill Walton puts forward his view: “Maybe the Los Angeles Clippers have a stronger lineup now, they can maintain high power output for forty-eight minutes. But never forget that at a critical moment, basketball is dominated by superstars. Who is super Whoever has more superstars will have a better chance of winning!”
Reggie Miller agreed with him.
He also agrees that once a game is deadlocked to the moment of concept, it will essentially become a war between superstars.
Just like the Los Angeles Derby tonight. If the final three minutes have not yet been determined, the result will naturally evolve into the blues vs. Kobe, Paul, and Yao Huang.
Who has the bigger win, of course the Lakers!
…
The Clippers locker room is very excited, veterans and rookies are full of high-pitched hormones.
Talk in twos and threes about the wonderful performance or shortcomings.
It’s like helping the group after class, bringing the new with the old and learning accurately.
To a certain extent, the Clippers showed an unprecedented locker room atmosphere.
Even though the two consultants Isaiah Thomas and Larry Brown have been in the NBA for so many years, they have never experienced this kind of locker room atmosphere. What happened? Are these superstars who used to eat, drink and gamble back to their basics?
Have they become spiritual teachers?
The changes in people are amazing.
When Iverson emphasized the importance of passing, when O’Neal instilled post-up singles, when Ron Artest had a strong sense of control, how immobile his opponents were irritated…everyone became what he once hated Look like.
“I think we can win at least ten championships.” Larry Brown said to Isaiah Thomas.
Li Zhen next to him took a look at Larry Brown. He felt that Larry Brown spoke like his woman.
Because those women who don’t understand the ball, they always assign him such unbelievable tasks. They are accustomed to taking it all, thinking that the championship is just a shot, and there is no bottle of wine.
The amount of help!
…
The second half of the game started soon.
When a team has enough superstars, it means that they are more likely to play explosive games.
No, Chris Paul broke out in the third quarter.
Become superb without warning.
Whether defending him is Allen Iverson, Stephen Nash, or Jason Kidd.
He is so accurate.
He was so timely.
If you are not punctual, the game will be taken away by the Clippers.
Because Chris Paul is very precise, Yao Huang got plenty of rest in the third quarter.
This provides a favorable basis for the Lakers’ big decisive battle in the fourth quarter.
With the end of the third quarter.
The two teams tied the score and returned to the same starting line.
98:98.
One can imagine how brilliant the offense in this quarter was.
In fact, if it were not for Chris Paul to score 24 points in a single quarter, the Clippers’ lead at this time would definitely be more than double digits.
“I think the Clippers will struggle in the fourth quarter.”
Bill Walton carefully analyzed: “The Clippers’ potential has actually been fully exploded in the first three quarters. It is difficult for them to get to the next level. The superstars on the Lakers side still have room to create miracles.”
Reggie Miller could hardly disagree with Bill Walton’s views.
However, he also felt that since the Clippers are fully fired in this game, they definitely don’t want to lose this game.
Maybe, Bruce has something to do.
Reggie Miller thought so.
