You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 933 It's a pity, I just have no one!
The 2013 NBA is on the eve of the opening of a new era.

In the previous ten years-2011-1999, the NBA championships in these years have not been won by the golden generation who entered the league in the 90s.

After this year, the gods ushered in the dusk, and the Mesozoic generation led by James Wecha quickly occupied the top ecological niche of the league.

But there are many things that need to change before this season is over.

Although James has achieved success through teamwork, it remains to be observed how far he can go;
Wei Xia has not proved himself after leaving Kobe;
The new generation of players in 07, 08, and 09 are still accumulating strength, but Durant, who has the most promising future, has brought his team to Kobe.

The first five games of the semifinals were 3-2, and the Thunder were only one game away from advancing.

Wei Xia has been in and out of the Staples Center hundreds of times, and this experience is the most special.

Everyone will greet him with warm cheers.

Bryant has long been a totem figure for this city.

The Thunder's starting lineup looks to be packed with talent.

Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins.

The Lakers are a bit worse. The previous dynasty team has been lost to only the Gasol brothers.The existence of Howard made Gasol Jr., who has good combat power, have to play as a substitute. As Gasol grows older, he is not as comfortable at the fourth position as he was when he was young.

The point guard is Ramon Sessions, who has only been in the league for six years but has been on four teams. The small forward is Metta World Peace, who is so old that people doubt whether he can adapt to the intensity of the NBA.

He looks ferocious, and he was Kobe's most loyal dogleg during the second dynasty of the Lakers. He once became famous with an elbow in 2012, but today's Thunder has no player who was hit by his elbow.

"The Lakers are still trying to salvage the situation!"

"Coe was diagnosed with a left foot contusion before the game, but we saw that he was still on the active list tonight."

ESPN's live commentary seats sat Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen.

The chemistry between Van Gundy and Breen had yet to be developed before Mark Jackson fired from the Warriors, but they were already a relatively well-known combination of commentators.

Opening jump ball.

Kobe's left foot is difficult to exert force. Although it is not the main foot, the loss of one leg means a lot to the basketball game. He doesn't know why Kobe insists on playing this game.

This is not a championship game.

Indeed, this may be their last game of the season, but only by taking good care of their bodies can they gain more glory in the future.

Unknowingly, Wei Xia put himself into Kobe's perspective.

"Don't force yourself, old man." Thunder Soflossa said frivolously.

Hearing this, an unbearable revulsion surged from Kobe's heart, "What the hell are you talking about?"

One of the best experiences of time-traveling to others is that you can be rude as you like. Anyway, it's others who are rude. What does it have to do with Wei Xia?

Sefolosha was intimidated by Kobe's vicious eyes and dared not answer.

Howard wins the jump ball.

The classic D'Antoni-style offensive routine, the point guard takes the ball, puts a horned position, and comes out inside to act as a dog for the ball holder.

Did Howard spend two years staging the "Loyalty" trilogy to be a dog for the Lakers?
After listening to Wei Xia's instigation, Howard had to be brave and be himself. The fake pick and roll forced the Thunder's defense to a high position, and the ball handler had to feed him the ball.

This approach is naturally inappropriate. Although Sessions averaged 10+ career peak performances per game under D'Antoni, he is not a ball handler who can withstand the opponent's flanking attack and accurately deliver the ball in the playoffs.

The intention of passing the ball to Howard was too obvious, and Durant shook his super long wingspan favored by God to destroy the pass.

In addition to Durant himself, Kobe, Wei Xia himself, foresaw these moments.

It's strange that when he stood at Kobe's point of view, he could see the Lakers' tactics, and then used his own game experience as a reference. He could predict Durant's advancing route after stealing the ball.

"Thunder first steals and then makes mistakes, strike Kobe!"

The commentator shouted loudly, Wei Xia grabbed the ball that fell again, and the offensive desire in Kobe's blood was activated.

He can obviously give Howard a comfortable alley-oop, but he insists on making a three-pointer exactly the same as the buzzer-beating lore Wade when there is no defense at the top of the arc.

Damn it, why can't I control my hand?

"Boom!"

Spread the world with a piece of Excel, table lovers who look down on all the stars of the past and present can naturally criticize Kobe's offensive choices.

Even Wei Xia himself has a sense of horror that "I made a big hole".

At that moment, he really couldn't control himself.

But he had to control Kobe. If he broke Kobe's Achilles tendon after traveling through it with difficulty, then why would he let it go?

"Kobe, you should pass the ball to me brother!" Howard had a big opinion, "My chance is obviously better brother!"

"Who is your brother" almost blurted out, Wei Xia apologized shyly: "I was impulsive, Dwight, it's all my fault, we will definitely take you as the absolute core tonight, and I am your biggest supporter!"

Although Howard didn't know which wall Kobe hit today, he was very satisfied with being so obedient.

He nodded and ran back, his enthusiasm redoubled.

From O'Neal to Bynum, and then to Howard, Kobe has worked hard enough. In the three most critical periods of his career, he was in three gifted giant babies.

If you play for O'Neill, you can win three consecutive championships, but the two guys behind really don't know what to say.

"Thank you, Kobe." From Bynum all the way to Wei Xia, who was teammates with Cousins, felt the same way.

Cooperating with this kind of person is like raising a husky. It is unrealistic to expect it not to tear down the house, so it must be disciplined.

Some huskies become sensible when they grow up, such as Cousins;
Some are purely spoiled by shit shovelers, or neglected to discipline and let themselves go, so they become demons step by step.

Like Howard and Bynum.

Westbrook moved to the frontcourt to trigger a passive skill that ignored Durant, and Sessions defended and showed off a zombie jumper, hitting the iron.

For D'Antoni's previous team, they would have to fight back if they grabbed a defensive rebound.

But the core lineup of the Lakers is too old, Kobe and Ci Shiping can't run, Howard and Gasol can't run, and Sessions has a high probability of being blocked when he goes solo, so he still plays steadily.

And this style of play has seriously violated D'Antoni's coaching philosophy, and the Lakers present a completely different look.

Dip it everywhere, and it doesn't look like it anywhere.

Howard bravely turned his back to ask for the ball and successfully suppressed Perkins.

Sessions passed the ball, and his turn and footsteps were fairly solid, and the six-figure dollars given to Dameng every year were not in vain.

Perkins lost his defensive position, Howard vacated with all his strength, dunked, and slightly had the power of a peak shark.

"Haven't you seen Superman?" Howard exclaimed arrogantly, "I will rule you!"

There was disdain in Kobe's heart, and Wei Xia couldn't show it on his face.

He knew that Kobe didn't like Howard's style of showing his emotions very much, which must have reminded him of the days when he beat the Sharks.

Just like Wei Xia is very sure of his first three years with the Lakers, but if he likes those three years or not, then he can only give you a smile to understand.

To guard against the opponent's strongest point on the court, to be tortured by the Zen master off the court, to be tortured by Kobe in training, and to be tortured by the media off the court-this is how people live?

The Thunder's offense has many problems with the youth army.

Too frizzy, unstable.

They don't look at absolute opportunities, but "I think I can vote", then vote.

It is indeed difficult for the team controlled by Westbrook to play a stable offense. Even Durant can't get the ball as he wants, let alone others.

When Durant played Ci Shiping in the low post, he only dribbled the ball to force Wei Xia's pincer attack, and his ball was passed outward.

Sefolosha made a three-pointer at the top of the arc and hit the iron again.

Wei Xia saw the opportunity, and he was the first to make a fast break.

"Pass!!! Pass!!! Pass!!!"

D'Antoni screamed until the veins in his neck were showing.

It seems that he misses the team's fast break very much. Wei Xia runs as much as possible. Kobe's running rhythm is different from his, and his speed is not as fast.

Wei Xia has experienced an ACL tear, but the main impact is the lateral speed, and the straight-line speed has always been one of the fastest in the league.

If you counterattack slowly, you will be overtaken by your opponent.

The exaggeration is that the person who caught up with the Thunder was not Durant or Westbrook, the two talented young masters, but Ibaka, who knows how old he is.

Wei Xia actually saw Ibaka, but he chose to believe in Kobe's athletic ability.

I believe that the 34-year-old Kobe's athletic ability is destined to leave a moment of embarrassment for Kobe in this world-renowned Western Conference semifinals.

Ibaka jumped up from the paint like a bird, flew into the air from top to bottom, and nailed the board hard so that Weisha's fast break turned into the opponent's top five moments.

"No one can layup like this in front of me!"

Ibaka put down his harsh words with a pronounced English accent.

These words reminded Wei Xia of the time when he first met Paul Gasol.At that time, the transaction had just been completed, and Wei Xia and Kobe went to meet Gasol in person.

There was such a conversation.

Like Gasol at the time, Wei Xia responded on behalf of Kobe: "It's a pity, I just have no one!"
