I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 284 Leading by 1 point

Lin Yang made 2 free throws and scored his first 2 points of the game before he stepped up to the free throw.

"His overall rhythm tonight is really good. Steve Blake is a No. [-] player who is known for his organizational skills, but judging by the rhythm of the two sides tonight, Lin suppressed Blake very well!" Bill Walton compared the performances of Blake and Lin Yang on the offensive end in these two rounds.

"However, I can't blame him. Kobe is consciously increasing singles during this period. He wants to show aggression. Of course, this is normal. Any leading core should fight the team on his shoulders at this time. It's just that he needs to play smarter, because Lin and Stevenson have obviously found a way to work together to limit him!"

"When the Lakers signed Blake last summer, many fans were saying that the organizational problems of the Lakers' No. [-] position can finally be cured, but in fact, judging from the current situation, the Lakers don't trust Blake, and his role on the court is not even as good as Fisher!" Compared with Drexler, Bill Walton has less scruples. He directly pointed out, "The Lakers did not make good use of Blake. He should have a stronger sense of presence than now, but unfortunately, we have not seen it now!"

The score expanded to 3 points.

Blake dribbled the ball across the center line and glanced at Kobe. The latter was eager to try. It could be seen that he still wanted to continue to shoot. Blake and Kobe had been teammates for a year. He knew very well that if he continued to give the ball, Kobe would continue to play without hesitation.
But he was a little hesitant. This kind of hesitation often appeared in his mind when the Lakers were behind. He wanted to change his style of play and try to give the ball to others, but he could always feel a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.
He hesitated again and again, and finally chose to give the ball to Kobe!

This is a psychological game he often plays this season. He wants to play according to his own thinking, but he is afraid that he will not be able to bear the final risk!

Because the difference is only 3 points now, if he doesn't score, it's not Kobe's shot, then this guy will definitely go berserk after the game, and Kobe will think he doesn't trust him!

Hmm... It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before!
Kobe doesn't know what Blake is thinking. He is really red now, but 3 defenses and 1 are 3 defenses and 1. This defensive strength is really not something ordinary people can adapt to, including Kobe.

"Dangdang!"

This time was no exception.

Kobe missed. Fortunately, Bynum grabbed the offensive rebound this time. The small hook under the basket quickly threw the ball to the backboard. The ball hit the board and fell into the basket!
Looking at this ball off the court, the shooting coach of the Lakers was quite gratified. This is a skill that Bynum did not have before, and it is also his most significant improvement in the past few years!
Kobe also breathed a sigh of relief, he took the initiative to find Bynum and gave him a high five.

The point difference returned to 1 points!
"This fight is really intense!"

"No wonder this game has attracted so much discussion, it's really good!"

"The Lakers are the defending champions! How can they be knocked down so easily!"

It was already 10 minutes and 30 seconds into the first quarter, and there was still more than a minute left before the end. The difference between the two teams was only one point. The confrontation between the two teams made the fans watching this game very excited, and they didn't want to take their eyes off the screen for a second!
Soon the last more than 1 minute was played, and the point difference did not change in any way. The Mavericks finally took a 1-point lead to the intermission of the first quarter!

"To be honest, the Mavericks played better, because Kobe and Bynum on the Lakers didn't rest for a minute in the first quarter. If they didn't rest in the second quarter, the physical fitness of these two guys will probably have a big problem in the second half of the second quarter, especially Kobe. He started his personal offensive mode in the first quarter, and he was still facing siege in the second half of the first quarter. For him, rest is a must!"

However, in Bill Walton's view, the Mavericks undoubtedly played better in the first quarter, not only because they were the leading side in the end, but more importantly, their starting lineup got a good rest, especially Nowitzki.

This rest time is even enough for him to play the entire second quarter!
And how the Lakers survive the time without Kobe when he is on the court will be a test for Phil Jackson-a test for his arrangements!

"Phil's ability to make changes on the spot has always been a big problem, but he can always make some players achieve unexpected results. This is his magic, but I don't know, whether we can see it now!" Chris Webber made a simple evaluation of Phil Jackson. The Johnson system relies on superstars, so he really wants to see what kind of lineup Phil Jackson will come up with during the period when Kobe needs to rest!

However, Chris Webber is not very curious about Phil Jackson's transformation, because this guy's on-the-spot ability is a bit too bad, so bad that it is almost criticized. He is curious about who Phil Jackson will use as a surprise soldier!
Well, to put it simply, who did he fool again!

It’s just that Webber guessed wrong this time. Since Phil Jackson really made a change, he put Odom at the first position, and took Pau Gasol at the fourth position. This change is obviously intended to play the linkage between the first position and the fourth position.
