God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 255 Counterattack
Although Reid is only a rookie, and he is still a second-round pick, he can be said to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he will not hesitate even in such an important game.However, seeing Kobe's drive to put the ball into the basket, he admired it from the bottom of his heart, and even felt ashamed. He knew that even if he had such a status, he would not be able to do so. .

But the admiration is all admiration, he still gritted his teeth to grab points for the team, after all, what the 76ers need most now is to score.But soon he found that it was difficult for him to find a comfortable shot. Kobe was like a tireless robot. He just hit a shot under heavy defense, and he almost completed a block when he turned around. build.If Reed hadn't reacted quickly enough to transfer the ball in mid-air in time, this time he would be counted as a mistake.

Kobe's performance not only shocked his opponents, but also surprised his teammates.Although this is only the fifth season of Kobe's career, he is still a boy in terms of age, and because the team has O'Neal, a guy who has already made a name for himself, Kobe is nominally the second head of the team. But most of the time the Lakers' game depends on O'Neal's performance.However, so far in this game, it can be said that the Lakers' advantage is entirely due to Kobe's performance. Even if his hand suddenly becomes extremely cold at this time, maybe his teammates will not give the ball to the inside in the first time.

O'Neal was also frightened by Kobe. He knew that Kobe could score, but he never knew that he could score like that. Kobe's performance even made him dissuade him from fighting for the ball.Of course, it is only limited to this game. It is definitely impossible for O'Neal to be convinced by Kobe. In their previous life, they did not finally smile away their grievances until the 08-09 season.

Although Kobe likes to fight alone very much, and his personal singles ability is also very strong, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like having strong teammates to give him some help.In his previous life, when he led the team alone, he often got angry at his teammates, largely because the role players of the Lakers were mediocre at that time. Later, after the Lakers acquired Gasol through a trade, Kobe did not often beep at his teammates. On the contrary, Gasol He also said a lot of good things about Kobe, and obviously the relationship between the two is very good.

Now the Lakers players are consciously doing their best on the defensive end to help Kobe reduce the pressure, so that he can focus more on the offensive end.Kobe suddenly felt that the burden on his body was much lighter. He only needed to keep scoring points on the offensive end. The defense was handed over to his teammates, and the rebounds were handed over to O'Neal. This kind of treatment couldn't be better.

Seeing that his personal score was about to reach 30 points, Iverson was angry here.He was aggrieved by Fisher's defense before. Although the latter's speed is mediocre, his strength is strong. As long as he sticks to it, the speed that Iverson is proud of will have to be reduced. It is completely impossible to fight against him physically. On par with Fisher.Seeing that the first half of the game is coming to an end, Iverson's personal score is still only fixed at 11 points. As a player who averaged more than 25 points per game, this is undoubtedly a shame.

But Iverson was not in a hurry to score by himself. He always remembered what Chang Wei said when he arranged the passing training plan for him: "You are a point guard, and you are the leader of the team. Although the usual work of organizing offense can be Hand it over to Eric, but at critical moments you have to stand up and connect the team's offense, whether you score yourself or pass the ball to your teammates, revitalizing the team's offense is what you have to do on the court. You don't You have to choose, because you are the star of the team!"

Although Chang Wei didn't say anything, Iverson knew that he still wanted to pass the ball.At this moment, Chang Wei was also anxiously watching the situation on the sidelines. Now the 76ers have fallen behind by 12 points, and everyone is basically fighting on their own in every offensive round.The reason why the Lakers can play this way is because they have Kobe who is in a bad state in this game. If the 76ers want to follow the calabash, they should just announce that they will give up this game, because they can't tie the score in this way.

If this is the case, then the only option is to reactivate the teammates!

After figuring it out, Iverson became active on the court again, and now he doesn't pay attention to Fisher's defense. Anyway, I don't shoot and score. You can defend as long as you can. Clip, and then passed the ball to his teammates smoothly, Iverson felt that his task was completed.Although it is impossible to compete with Kobe, it is not bad to win in this way.

As Iverson continued to break through the pass, the 76ers' players' touch was slowly mobilized. Not only Reed and Lewis became active, but Mutombo also began to attack the basket continuously after the pick-and-roll.Although O'Neal's ability to block shots is quite good, Mutombo's bounce is also good. With Iverson attracting the defense, it is not surprising that Mutombo succeeded in consecutive dunks. Not everyone can do the dunk.

At the end of the first half, the 76ers narrowed the point difference to 6 points with Iverson's go-between, which is already the best result.Looking at the statistics of the two sides, we can see that Kobe scored 35 points in the first half. Under such circumstances, the 76ers can narrow the point difference to single digits, which is indeed a very good job.But it is not enough for them to narrow the point difference. In this game, every 76ers player came with the belief of winning. Fortunately, there are still 24 minutes in the second half.

In order not to waste time, everyone hurriedly left the player tunnel and went to the locker room. They must seize every minute and every second to recover their strength, because everyone knows that the second half will inevitably be a more intense battle. .Just look at Kobe's performance in the first half. Even if he will reduce his scoring efficiency in the second half due to physical problems, but continuing to score crazy points is simply a lice on the monk's head-obviously, and it seems likely to break the record of the finals .

The current highest scoring record in a single game in the Finals also belongs to the Lakers. On April 1962, 4, the famous Lakers Elgin Baylor scored 14 points in the fifth game of the finals against the Celtics, helping the Lakers beat their opponents 61 to 126 and win the battle of Tianwangshan.But unfortunately, the Celtics pulled two consecutive games in the sixth and seventh games, and finally reversed the Lakers to win the championship. Baylor, who set a single-game scoring record in the finals, became the most tragic loser.Now it seems that Kobe is going to follow the path of his predecessors and start his own era with a scoring feast.
