819 The power of a button
Facing Gasol's defense, Chamberlain was frivolous and hit in a crushing posture.
Gasol gritted his teeth and grabbed the ground with his feet tightly. His upper body leaned forward, almost hanging all his strength on Chamberlain.
But this was useless. Chamberlain was like an angry rhino, knocking him to the basket, and then jumped up and dunked with one-arm before Odom and Artest had time to double-team.
The sound of fans swallowing saliva sounded in the Staples Arena. Only then did they know how important Bynum is to the inside. Without Bynum's flesh shield, the Lakers' inside is to Chamberlain, just like ribs to vicious dogs.
Afterwards, Kobe opened the situation for the team with a turn-around jump shot. Fisher tried to steal Billups again, but instead got the opponent's lure away from the mountain. Fisher's steal caused him to lose his position, and Billups seized the opportunity to break through.
By Fisher, Billups blocked Kobe, Iverson flew out like a sharp arrow, he took over the ball from Billups and made an easy layup
However, Kobe was very powerful today. After Fisher took the ball to the frontcourt, Kobe took the initiative to cover it. The two cooperated for many years and had a tacit understanding. Fisher passed the ball to Kobe when he broke through.
Black Mamba jumped out of the three-point line with the ball, and her elegant No. 24-shaped figure appeared again in the Staples Arena. The latter made a steadily shot with the first score-point shot.
Because of Chamberlain's advantage in the inside, the Lakers had to shrink their defense, and the Warriors had a good opportunity to shoot three-pointers from a long shot.
First, Billups passed the ball to Jackson on the weak side, and then Billups interacted with Chamberlain in the inside. He first passed the ball to Chamberlain, who attracted three people to double-team and then passed the ball to Ibaka.
Ibaka blocked Kobe, Billups cut through him, jumped up with the ball and hit the ball.
Then, Artest, who was unwilling to give in, gritted his teeth and rushed into the penalty area to dunk. Chamberlain jumped sideways and gave him a big hat.
Billups took over the ball and instigated a fast break. Chamberlain caught up from behind. The Lakers were terrified and focused their defense on him. Seeing this, Billups immediately passed the ball to Iverson, and Iverson picked the ball and scored.
In this way, the Warriors launched a 0-defense early. Under this fierce attack, the Lakers were stunned and had no capital aristocratic style.
But today the Lakers invited the team's history king Johnson. The magician looked bitter and didn't know what to say, so he muttered: "They played the wrong opponent, and they attacked us while George McCann and Jabbar are not there."
The Zen master couldn't sit still, and the booing sounds in the audience forced him to take the initiative to pause. Seeing the live broadcast room, Barkley was furious and asked, "Don't Fei'er likes to whistle? Why is he anxious? If I were him, I would whistle, and then the tactics would be adjusted?"
This incident involves a old case. In the 1990s, when Barkley was at the end of his career with the Suns, the Suns' strength was really not very good, otherwise Barkley would not have gone to Houston, Olajuwon, and Drexler to form a team to win the championship.
There was a game at that time when the Suns met the Bulls. That year, the Bulls scored 2 wins and were so arrogant that they were so arrogant. In that game, the Suns happened to feel bad, and the Bulls easily cut it off the horse.
Seeing this, Kobe showed a hint of anger on his expression. He thought to himself that since you don’t give me face, don’t blame me for not giving you face, so he simply said, “If Phil doesn’t do this, then this is not his style. In addition, I also believe that Andrew will definitely perform well if he comes on the stage.”
Gasol patted Bynum on the shoulder and said, "Yes, we believe Andrew has such strength."
Bynum was furious. This fucking group of pig teammates was planning to push himself into the fire pit.
The Zen master did not immediately replace Bynum. He used B Mbenga, who was about the same height as the tonnage, to face Chamberlain.
Mbenga is tough, tall and strong, but her steps are very slow. Compared with top centers like Chamberlain and Oden, he is too slow. However, the Lakers signed him to be Bynum's sparring coach.
Mbenga was not afraid of being ordered by the Zen master. He took off his training and showed his platinum robe and walked onto the court.
For Bynum, Zen Master absolutely regretted that he was not strong enough. In his opinion, this kid wasted a good face. If his physical fitness was compared with Mbenga, why would the Lakers worry about not establishing a new dynasty?
After the timeout, after Mben added the game, the Lakers' atmosphere changed and the players' fighting spirit became much stronger.
Mbenga took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of scoring against Chamberlain. He actively helped Kobe cover the attack, but unfortunately his cover did not bring chaos to the Warriors' defense line. As soon as Mbenga left the basket, no one in the Warriors took care of him, so he couldn't make a shot in the mid-range shot.
Kobe barely made a move, the ball bounced out, Ibaka took the rebound and threw it to West, and the Warriors pushed it quickly.
Billups sat on the bench, staring blankly at the young West and Curry sweating on the court.
Iverson saw his expression blankly and didn't think much, but just smiled and said, "It's cool, huh? Do you think of our time when we were young? Ha, in the Eastern Conference Finals, that's how we ran, right?"
Billups smiled and said, "Yes, the Eastern Conference Finals, 201 years? It's been a long time, and it's been nearly ten years."
Iverson sighed, "Yes, it's been ten years, man, we were young men at that time, and now we are old men."
"Old man?" Billups' expression was a little strange. He looked at Iverson and said in confusion. "This is not the answer I know. Can you still break through on the court or the fastest guy in the league? Are you still the answer?"
Iverson smiled and said, "Of course, of course, but it's not the Mp answer, but the best sixth person answer."
After a pause, Iverson added: "Changxi, I really want to say that I am still young, but you know, our speed is indeed not as fast as before, but you also know that it is still as difficult to beat me as before."
But do we still have the chance to fight those top opponents? Billups asked himself in his heart. He saw that Iverson was really satisfied with his current life, so he asked in his heart, can he do this too? He played with the veteran contract and then retired?
Iverson watched the game with relish, watching Chamberlain and West, a group of young and energetic guys, attacking the Lakers' defense.
The new lineup arranged by Old Nelson is extremely terrifying. Chamberlain, Ibaka, Blair, West and Curry, except West, none of them are more than 2 years old. Even if West is added, the average age of this team is only 2 years old.
After playing, the Warriors made consecutive fast breaks. They used their energy far beyond the Lakers to create opportunities for themselves on the offensive end. Mbenga's footsteps were clearly revealed in this situation.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Kobe risked being blocked by Chamberlain and used a rare breakthrough and dunk this season to help the team score points to boost morale.
Kobe's adventure was worth it. His dunk ignited the atmosphere on the court. With the sound of VPs and the shouts of "Champions," the Lakers finally stabilized on the defensive end, and were not seized by the Warriors to pull the gap to double digits.
With 6 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first quarter, the Lakers requested a timeout again. Seeing that the team's defensive end had stabilized, Zen master hoped that the team could achieve results on the offensive end, and specially arranged the forward offensive tactics.
After the timeout, Fisher passed the ball to Kobe, who stood up and broke through, as fast as lightning.
Mbenga tried hard to block Chamberlain and gave way to Kobe, but Kobe just had a feint, rushed into the penalty area and passed the ball to Artest.
The Warriors' forward line was torn a little messy by Kobe. Artest ran out of the open position cunningly and made a jump shot and scored two points.
Staples Arena was once again caught in cheers, and in the eyes of fans, the team was about to fight back.
However, when the offense and defense were changed, Chamberlain withstood Mbenga's request for the ball. The Zen master planned very well and wanted to use Mbenga's strength and Gasol's flexibility to fight Chamberlain.
Chamberlain got the ball, Mbenga immediately squatted down to hold him up, while Gasol prepared to double-team from the wing.
In response, Chamberlain sneered and turned around, took a long way to pull away from Mbenga and rushed to the basket.
Gasol naturally followed, and Mbenga also moved horizontally at the basket and continued to intercept Chamberlain. For a moment, Chamberlain's way seemed to be blocked.
In this case, Chamberlain waved his hand back and almost took over. Ibaka, who was very physically magnificent, received the ball.
Chapter completed!
