1027 Home field advantage, again?
After all, the touch of the thing cannot be said to come or maintained for a long time, so players must always let the ball pass from time to time on the court. It is best to have a touch on the ball every time they attack, otherwise there will be "hands become cold". This of course has nothing to do with the temperature in the arena.
Kobe's good feel that excited fans made the Staples Center not feel disheartened because of Xiao Han's performance. However, when the Lakers remembered their advantages and prepared to let the inside play and hit the Rockets' pain points, their two towers joined forces to contribute 0 of 5 shots to them.
This is too ironic.
What did this say? Looking back, in the past 3 minutes, if Kobe was not Kobe's efficient, the Lakers might not have been able to stop Xiao Han's sudden outbreak. This is a precedent. However, it was his solo dance that made Bynum and Gasol, who were in good shape, almost become the team's defeat.
Could it be for the Lakers that Kobe is really successful and Xiao He defeated Xiao He?
Not only the Double Towers, but has been performing well since the season. Ariza, who made considerable three-pointers, suddenly turned into the later "Iron Zha", missing two excellent opportunities for three-pointers in a row. If Odom, the best sixth man, belonging to the microwave and plug-and-play, Kobe would have really become a lonely man.
Whether Kobe's offensive efficiency has declined or not, this cannot change the fact that the Lakers have made 7 attacks without success. Taking advantage of these 7 opportunities, the Rockets laid the foundation for leading in one fell swoop.
Xiao Han did not have these opportunities alone.
Although the other people's shooting percentages cannot reach Xiao Han's as magical, they still hit 4 goals because of their good chances. In this way, the Rockets led by 9 points.
No matter how proud the Lakers are, they feel the serious problem at this time. Some people familiar with Xiao Han know that this guy is simply a Pixiu, only entering and not leaving. When his team gains a certain lead, it is simply like pulling out the iron rooster.
Xiao Han's original intention was to make the team's offense more reasonable and make it more difficult for the Lakers to defend, but unexpectedly, he also gained a huge benefit invisibly.
This is the fact, and it can even be called cruel to the Lakers. At this time, Kobe couldn't do even if he didn't want to play singles. The team's offensive system has been destroyed, and now it is not the time to give Bynum and Gasol the ball, so that they can slowly maintain their touch.
This opportunity has passed long ago. The Lakers' double towers can only rely on themselves to regain the shooting feeling through other touching opportunities.
This is really difficult, especially for big players, which is even more difficult.
In 5 minutes, Kobe actually survived, but his physical strength was greatly consumed. After 5 minutes, it was the final battle moment of more than 3 minutes.
There is no time for Kobe to rest. Pauses. Even continuous pauses may not be beneficial at this time, and it may also make him even more tired.
In the case of unequal consumption, Xiao Han is no longer just taking advantage of a young man compared to Kobe. He is full of energy, and Kobe is at the end of his strength.
This may be why as players' physical fitness becomes better and more competitive, the intensity of game confrontation becomes higher and higher, the era of shooting guards has gradually passed, and the point guard era has been replaced.
As a point guard, it is indeed easier to distribute physical strength reasonably. If he is also a top scorer, then his efficiency will be higher and his playing time will be longer.
The Rockets changed into Bathir at this time, which was to completely kill Kobe.
What did Kobe get in exchange for doing his best? Just look at the current score. 85 to 78, nearly 2 points, this is the fruit of his labor.
Realizing his problem, in the next more than one minute, Kobe disappeared and even handed over the ball to Odom. It was strange that he had just started to rest, and the feeling of others came.
First it was Odom. After he dribbled in the frontcourt, he saw Artest freeing up such a large space. The all-around fighter didn't think about it. He raised his hand and made a three-pointer.
Seeing that such a thing happened, Artest was also panicked and hurriedly increased his vigilance. When Odom dribbled over again, he immediately posted it on, but he never thought that Odom chose to break through this time, hitting a hook while moving, adding 2 points to the team.
Adelman sighed. He was not going to make any adjustments to the backcourt. Artest not only defended well, but also had a long range. It was not something Landry could replace. If necessary, he would take Scola down when the team needed to be tough.
Once again, Odom chose to pass the ball directly. After Gasol received the ball, he threw it to Bynum directly. The three of them just raised it high and scored another 2 points easily.
It is indeed not that easy to defeat the Lakers and win the Western Conference championship. In the past one minute, the Rockets failed to make a shot, which made the Lakers chase the score to only 5 points left.
The gap between 2 minutes and 5-pointers is completely within reach. Moreover, after a brief adjustment, Kobe seemed to have already rested, and a fiery light flashed in his eyes again.
The champion, the fourth championship, at this time, it is even more impossible for Kobe to give up.
Why did Phil Jackson indulge Kobe? Because he knew very well that his greatest disciple, after Jordan, had a very high IQ for basketball. He actually knew when to put away his stubbornness. But most of the time, he thought it was not worth the time for him to do so.
Kobe played the organization seriously. He no longer chose to pass the ball after breaking through. Instead, he saw the opportunity early and used his attack as a guise to assist the team's three highs.
The first thing is to know Gasol, who is the most tacit understanding of him, and the two of them complete a direct free match.
Kobe completed a gorgeous transformation at this time, who could imagine that?
Even so, who can not pay attention to Kobe's offense?
Perhaps Kobe was the real god mode in these 2 minutes, but unfortunately he probably won’t realize this until he retires.
Xiao Han saw it all. He has always played like this. Of course, he knew that such a Lakers could not defeat him, especially with the Rockets' remnant formation. Fortunately, he had a 5-point advantage in his hand, which was a life-saving 5-point point.
In fact, if the Lakers had played like this from the beginning, the Rockets would have surrendered long ago, but if this were the case, the Lakers would not have been stupid again, so this kind of thing would not have happened.
Oh, no, the Rockets were only three points ahead. This was a careless moment. Xiao Han picked up the ball and rushed to the inside without hesitation.
Facing Bynum, he got strong and dunked, but he dunked it.
Everyone saw that Bynum had obvious foul action, but the home advantage was reflected at this time, and the referee did not sound the whistle!
Odom's rebound, the Lakers quickly stepped down, Kobe threw away Bathir and gave the Rockets a dunk.
With 1 point, only 1 point, the Rockets' lead is already shaky and may be away at any time.
Xiao Han didn't say anything, he understood what was going on. Although Stern said it nicely before the game, when in fact, the league still wanted the Lakers to enter the finals, the Rockets? They were just an unplanned incident.
The time just happened to be frozen in 59 seconds, and the time left for both sides was less than 1 minute. Although the Rockets had the ball, what they had to face was probably not just 5 people on the Lakers' court, but 6 people, or even more people.
Xiao Han discovered for the first time that NBA had such an advantage on the field. If there was anything, three people could take turns to do it. Even if it was a mistake, they would still be made in turn, and the responsibility would naturally be shared by everyone.
If a person blows three obvious whistle to the Lakers, he will become the target of public criticism and be criticized, but what if it is three people, one by one? Well, that is just a home advantage. Spirit Domain
