Forward to the basket

Kobe Bryant's scoring ability is absolutely second to none in the NBA. Iverson, McGrady, Kobe, these guys are all high scorers in the post-Jordan era. Once they start to go crazy, it is difficult to be contained.

The Celtics are now enduring this kind of tough and abnormal offensive ability. The average offensive power of 35.4 points per game is not so easy to stop, not to mention that Kobe Bryant has completely activated his touch.

Once the pitcher gets into his own rhythm, it's easy to go crazy, they may fire at reasonable or unreasonable angles, and then no matter how you block, you have to watch the ball fly over your head.

Even if Sprewell is not the top defensive expert in the league, under Riley's training, combined with his more than ten years of experience in the NBA, it is difficult for ordinary swingmen to escape his deadly blockade.

Even Pierce was often scrambled by Sprewell's tight press during practice.

But today was a bad day. Sprewell was already very ruthless in his defense. Sometimes his toughness would even cause dissatisfaction from the fans on the sidelines. Many people complained that this guy made a lot of moves in defense.

In fact, the referee had already called Sprewell three fouls in the first 5 minutes of the first and second quarters, and twice in the second quarter, but this did not affect this guy's tougher performance.

Sprewell has really put his life on the line. He has defended at least three times to the extreme. Whether it is when Kobe is holding the ball to break through or when he is about to make a shot, he has followed the defense very fiercely.

But Kobe's offensive touch has been completely improved, which is really a bit unsolvable. Even if Sprewell has sealed his hands to his eyes, he still failed to stop Kobe from scoring.

Even Kobe can play beautiful fadeaway shots for you very elegantly at this time. The fiery touch and stable emotions make Sprewell's teeth itch with hatred.

This annoyed Sprewell and Rivers on the sidelines, and Sprewell almost cursed.

The most frustrating thing about Rivers on the sidelines is not that Sprewell failed to defend Kobe, but that he has already called a timeout and made arrangements specifically to defend Kobe, but now it seems that it has really had little effect.

Double-teaming, flanking defense, the Celtics almost used every conceivable method, and even Rivers had already signaled Chen Feng to press out a little bit to compress Kobe's living space as much as possible.

But this not only failed to encircle Kobe's offense, but also disrupted the Celtics' defense level. There were two times when Chen Feng pressed out, but Kobe took advantage of the loopholes and almost assisted Bynum.

If it wasn't for the fact that Bynum was psychologically shadowed by the big hat that Chen Feng put on his head twice, he might have succeeded, but this also made Rivers quickly stop such rash adjustments.

But if Chen Feng didn't push him out, he really couldn't contain Kobe. If it was normal, he might be able to let others take a few shots. As long as he wasn't caught by Kobe and couldn't be contained, it would be considered a very successful defense.

But now this trick has no effect at all, really release it?In this wave of attack with 13 points in a row on five of five shots, Kobe scored three three-pointers, and judging by this guy's energy, he obviously didn't intend to stop like this.

What can you do with a pitcher who feels like a stove?Waiting for him to feel cold?Rivers didn't dare to make such a bet. After all, no one can guarantee that this guy will not repeat the madness of bloodbathing the Raptors.

At the beginning, the Raptors were waiting for this guy's hand to cool down. The guy scored 14 points in the first quarter, and continued to wait in the second quarter. Then Kobe scored 12 points. They thought this guy's hands should be cold, and the result?Kobe nearly beat the Raptors to death with 27 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and continued to score 28 points in the fourth quarter.

Maybe such a miracle won't happen every night, but Rivers dare not really gamble like that unless his head squeezes the gate of Staples Arena, and it's a combo...

After all, the chubby Rivers has been in the NBA for many years. He knows how much damage Kobe, who has completely let go of his firepower, can cause, but looking at the current trend, it is really difficult for him to contain the opponent.

It's not that one person's assault can break through the defense of five people. It's because when Kobe is holding the ball and doing it alone, his teammates are also supporting him, waiting for an opportunity, and threatening to kill the Celtics at any time.

This is the mobilization and arrangement of Phil Jackson. He even replaced Smush Parker with a more powerful Jordan Lamar, ready to take over and launch a sprint when Kobe was blocked.

Coupled with Radmanovic ambushing on the periphery and Odom cruising at the top of the arc, the entire Lakers tactical arrangement centered on Kobe's singles with the ball, and then began to radiate around.

Kobe scored 5 points in the first 13 minutes of the second quarter by himself, but his threat also drove the offense of the entire Lakers. In these 5 minutes, the Lakers scored 19 points frantically.

The 24-second offensive time limit is a point that is overlooked in this crazy offensive frenzy. The Lakers' offense will not consider these issues at all. As long as the opportunity arises, Kobe will come by himself or someone else will make a shot.

Their offense was basically settled within 10 seconds. At this time, Phil Jackson was not using gestures to tell his players to be more stable. He was even conniving at Kobe to lead the Lakers to start speeding up.

The Los Angeles people are simply copying the Suns' storm-style bombardment style of play. They may not play as skillfully and delicately as the Suns, but with the support of Kobe's accurate shooting, they appear to be more efficient.

This is what Rivers is most worried about now. He is not afraid of Kobe breaking out alone. What he is afraid of is that the entire Lakers will start to regain their senses again.

Especially the opponent suddenly changed from slow to fast, which took a long time for the Celtics to adapt to. Rivers' tactical arrangement even began to require the players to slow down and control the crazy shots of the Los Angeles people.

This is exactly the same as the first quarter of the game. It lost a position, one fast and one slow, but reversed many things. Morale, score, including the mentality of the two teams at the moment, all began to become unpredictable.

Rivers is not Auerbach, he is not so sophisticated yet, when faced with Phil Jackson's continuous changes, his response speed is far from that fast, and he even seems a little hesitant.

Sprewell was annoyed that Kobe couldn't be blocked no matter how he stared, and Rivers was annoyed that he was confused by Phil Jackson's change of tactics again, and the rhythm he finally mastered began to lose control again.

The Lakers are completely attacking with a high-intensity and large-scale bombardment, especially Kobe's strong attack on the offensive end, which completely wiped out the advantages that the Celtics had accumulated so hard.

Not only did it reverse the score, but it also reawakened the emotions of all Los Angeles fans. This feeling of soaring points at home is simply the most enjoyable time for those diehard fans, and they are roaring with emotion.

This is the Lakers playing the game in the way he is best at. Although it looks a bit reckless, no one can deny its efficiency and practicality, because the damn score was really reversed.

And every Lakers fan is already in a frenzy. They love the bombardment. When Kobe's shots go into the basket again and again, their shouts become more frantic.

This kind of emotion began to spread, and the pressure began to tilt towards the Celtics. They still had the advantage in the second half of the first quarter. Now it seems that the emotions in the Staples Arena are once again bursting.

When Rivers called a timeout for the second time, 7 minutes had passed in the second quarter, but the score had been rewritten by the Lakers to 53:49. After the bombardment, the Lakers had taken the lead .

Both Thibodeau and Rivers frowned. Although this is the opponent's home court, they don't want to be ruined by just one person. In terms of strength, the Celtics still have a slight advantage.

However, how to curb Kobe's frantic grabbing points is not an ordinary difficulty. At least now Sprewell is already struggling a bit, and he has already committed three fouls, but the game still has more than two quarters.

Although Rivers can't expect a 36-year-old veteran to stare at Kobe all over the game, Sprewell is the best defensive player on the swingman, and Tony Allen may be weaker.

But the problem to be solved now is in front of us, how to restrict the opponent's style of play, how to let the team regain control of the rhythm, and most importantly, how should the players play in the face of such an impact.

And the game lasted almost 20 minutes, and now it has entered a period of adjustment. People like Rondo and Pierce have to go back to the bench to rest for a while, in case of more intense competition in the next two quarters.

But doing so now is indeed a bit risky. After all, the opponent's morale has just risen. If there is a wave of ruthlessness, the Celtics are likely to be stunned by the opponent, and the consequences will not be worth the candle.

But if there is no rotation, these players in the starting lineup will consume a lot of physical energy. If they are exhausted and unable to fight again in the next two quarters, it will also cost Rivers, so this is a very headache.

But before Rivers could figure out how to adjust his lineup, a guy spoke first.

"Boss, if you want to change someone, don't change me. There are still 5 minutes left in the second quarter. I want to try to recover the score." In the rest area where no one said anything, the voice seemed a bit abrupt .

Not only was the voice a bit abrupt, but also because of the content of the sentence, Rivers and the group of bandits around him turned their heads to look at the guy who spoke.

"Don't look at me like that, I just want to equalize the score, or overtake, there are 5 minutes left, I just have this suggestion, they can let go of a point and concentrate on attacking, in fact, we can too."

Chen Feng looked at the teammates around him, and continued without any hesitation. He didn't expect to be able to decide many things by himself, but the few minutes of the game made him feel bored. Give him these few minutes, and now he wants to wrestle with that nearly incomprehensible Kobe, to see who can dominate this damn game, and who can take the initiative back on the court!

Are you not a one-on-one master?Damn, when I was on the street, I did this exclusively!

Halfway through the second quarter, Chen Feng couldn't hold back the anger in his heart...
