Chapter 419: One and two big Zen masters
Phil Jackson frowned, and ten minutes ago, he issued an order to Wei Xia: he scored 5 assists in a single quarter.
In the first round of the playoffs, the game that everyone sees is unforgettable, and is it really good to let players swipe their data?
He didn't know either. He just told himself that he must find a way to awaken Wei Xia's instinct to dominate the ball.
He has to be a comprehensive player like Pipen and Drex, rather than being "extremely comprehensive as a defensive elite". That is completely different. Two concepts cannot be confused and should not be confused.
As a result, how did Wei Xia do it?
He said he would pass the ball to Kobe first and use Kobe's explosive personal ability to score.
He only put in one effort throughout the whole process - a pass that even Jenny Buss could do - the rest of the time, Kobe's offense was not related to his virginity. The ability to score the ball was purely Kobe's personal ability, and Yu Weixia had nothing to do with it.
As a result, the technical station calculated Wei Xia's assist.
Since then, Jackson hasn't felt very good.
He never expected that Wei Xia would forget his instructions afterwards, and her mind was completely out of assists.
The defense was as good as ever, with the Jazz's defense making several mistakes, and Matt Harplin was replaced in anger by Sloan.
Seeing that his opponent was in patience, the Zen master was thinking about how to expand his advantage, and then he heard his old partner Tex Winter remind Wei Xia: Wish, you still have three assists to get a job!"
Wei Xia looked at them carefully and seemed to have made some decisions.
If Jordan or Kobe had that look, Jackson would think they would score 60 points 40 times;
If Rodman had that look, Jackson designated him to disappear suddenly in a few days and then appeared at his autobiography signing with his bride makeup;
But what if it was Wei Xia? What would happen to him?
Jackson is not sure.
After a while, Jackson began to understand Wei Xia's eyes.
It was a look with guilt, a look that violated principles and self.
His second assist came from Kobe.
The Lakers' tactics were played until the last five seconds without a chance to follow the usual routine. The ball should be given to Kobe, and the others would disperse, but for some reason, Wei Xia's approach today was to let Kobe run outside to catch the ball.
The only benefit of doing this is that it is safer and you don't worry about mistakes.
The question is, what about time? Don’t you look at time?
Before Kobe ran, the Lakers had only 5 seconds left. He ran over to catch the ball and took nearly three seconds. So, there was still plenty of time for him (a player of this level) and became nervous.
The moment he got the ball, Wei Xia also reminded Kobe: "Time! Time! Time!"
That means, don’t be too slow, take action!
It turns out that he also knew there was no time?
Things were as Wei Xia wished. Kobe scored three points, and his hot touch encountered Kirilenko's suffocation of defense. Apart from not completing the block, his performance was simply impossible to criticize.
"Swish!"
"This is Kobe!"
"Even if there are only 0.5 seconds left, you can't underestimate him!"
"He's a killer!"
"A poisonous snake ready to bite at any time!"
The commentator's reaction flawlessly summarized that round. He had basically nothing to do with Wei Xia, and it all relied on Kobe's personal ability, making it a strong man out of nothing.
But all the staff at the technical station still have to calculate an assist for Wei Xia.
Thanks to him for throwing the ball to Kobe in the last two seconds, there is no more standard blame than that.
"It seems that the situation is different from what you think." Old Winter smiled a lot.
Jackson wanted to scratch the trigeminal nerve: "I can't help but have some doubts that wish may not have organizer instinct."
"You can't say that, you set hard indicators for him, and he just wants to complete the task. If he doesn't complete the task, what would you do to him?" Old Winter saw through Wei Xia's struggle at a glance."
Jackson rightly said: "I will 'frankly' point out his shortcomings at tomorrow's review meeting."
"You don't really think he enjoys your 'candidity'?" Old Winter asked in surprise, "No?"
Jackson straightened his glasses and asked Old Winter: "You mean, he doesn't like it?"
Old Winter laughed: "Do you think he looks like he is a dirty bone?"
Jackson had a faint smile on his lips. He felt from the bottom of his heart that an old bone like Winter could not understand the tacit understanding between him and Wei Xia.
Yes, there were unhappiness between them, and there were still in the future, but they had found a way to live in peace. Wei Xia had long been used to criticizing him. If he didn't like him, why didn't he resist the first time? He seemed to be quite happy.
The fourth assist made Jackson even more angry.
After Wei Xia broke through, he passed the ball to Kobe, making a beautiful breakthrough.
Kirilenko's defense gives Kobe a chance to break in.
Kobe dribble broke through the bottom line and encountered many problems. In order to stop his attack, several people left their posts at the same time.
Kobe saw that to score, he needed to cross the defense of three people?
Are there only three?
In order to help Wei Xia assist, he decided to fight and catch the ball with one hand. He probably was afraid of falling out of the ball. His way of grabbing the ball was facing up with his palm facing his palm.
Kobe's body twisted a surprising arc in the air, and it was impossible to imagine how good core strength it needed.
He successfully swung past three Jazz players, pulled the ball against the ball with his hands and hit it.
With a shocking offense, Wei Xia only provided help for Kobe's breakthrough. The goal he scored was only Kobe, but the technical station still had to give Wei Xia a merit.
With three minutes left in the first quarter, Wei Xia's assists have reached four times.
Jackson found that Wei Xia's approach had completely deviated from his original intention, and he could not stop him.
The fifth assist was the best chance of Kobe's passes.
One minute before the end of the first quarter, Wei Xia called for tactics.
Kobe ran out to shoot without the ball and scored.
At this point, Kobe completed the feat of 17 points in a single quarter, while Wei Xia has scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in a single quarter, and has appeared on the big screen on the scene with Kobe.
Lakers fans cheered for their performances loudly.
Michael Thompson said excitedly: "As long as these two people are there, the Lakers' revival is expected!"
What he said is exactly what Lakers fans are looking forward to.
32 to 19
The Jazz fell into a general disadvantage, and their team scored only 2 points more than Kobe alone.
This problem is very serious, which not only shows that their defense against Kobe has completely failed, but also shows that the Lakers who have returned to their home court have completely walked out of the shadow of Salt Lake City.
Wei Xia, who performed poorly in Salt Lake City, controlled the overall situation after returning to home.
After the first quarter, I had already gained 0.5 triple-double.
It was precisely because of Wei Xia and Kobe's outstanding performance that Jackson had the confidence to let them come down and rest for a while.
As the game entered the second quarter, Sloan also replaced Kirilenko.
The Russians' defensive effect on Kobe is not good, but it is not his fault.
Take Wei Xia's four assists to Kobe, three of them have nothing to do with Wei Xia's passing timing. It can even be said that the ball was given to Kobe at that time, which caused Kobe to suffer even greater trouble.
Kobe used his personal ability to solve the problem and threw all the fairy balls into it without falling.
This is not something that ordinary people can do.
Although the Lakers lead, Wei Xia and Kobe cannot sit still.
The Jazz's second lineup is centered on future All-Star Paul Millsap.
From attack to passing, except for the poor defense, Millsap has played his dominant strength in the second team competition.
The Jazz chased all the way, and the 13-point trailing left 7 points.
At that time, I only walked for 3 minutes in the second quarter.
Jackson has only substitutions.
He replaced Wei Xia, Kobe, and Odom in one breath.
The Jazz kept Millsap and let the other four main players appear.
Haplin is back.
Sloan found that he was not good enough to be missing. The Jazz's lineup was strong everywhere, but the wings were poor.
Starting the game, Killenko, substitute Hapurin, the two of them are usually enough to rotate, and it is difficult to play against the Lakers, who have two strong points on the upper wing.
Especially the "sudden illness" in the first quarter caught Sloan off guard.
As a result, the veteran was also arrogant. In order to prove himself, he suddenly made a three-pointer at Wei Xia in the second quarter.
Quick, accurate, and with a swish, the difference was reduced to 4 points.
"I'm not fucking afraid of you at all!" Harplin declared.
"But I'm afraid of you." Wei Xia didn't want the ball because the Lakers' current point guard is Smarsh Parker.
He chased Harplin and said, "I'm afraid your instinct to speak big is transmitted to me, so I don't want to be a big talker."
Wei Xia once again reminded Hapurin who started the game and said he wanted to limit his shooting percentage to below 40%.
Unable to wait for Haplin's answer, Wei Xia took over Parker's ball and pulled up unreasonably like Kobe.
Phil Jackson's head was bigger.
As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
He is still looking forward to becoming Pipen or Dreclus next to Kobe. He won’t be looking for Kobe 2.0 in the end, right?
