Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 147 Don't use the same trick twice
As the game progressed, Jim threw the idea of ​​firing Phil Jackson in the trash.

All the upper limit of the Pacers is pinned on O'Neal alone. Bruce Bowen is a 3D player and has no independent offensive ability. Although Anthony Mason is good at everything, it is not his specialty to be tough and charge. After Brandon suffered a serious injury, he no longer had the sharp skills of the All-Stars of the year. Apart from Reggie Miller, the only remaining threat was Al Harrington, the bench knife.

Therefore, Zen Master's plan is to create pressure on O'Neal on both ends of the offense and defense, and limit his power to the minimum, so that the Pacers will naturally not be able to win.

At least so far in the game, this routine has been successful.O'Neal, who has turned 30, is still invincible on the offensive end, but this is at the expense of some defensive focus.

The size and style of play of centers determine that they need to use their limited physical energy where they are needed most.

In the regular season, Artest's savage breakthrough and forced impact brought a lot of trouble to Bruce Bowen. Artest was in poor form today, and Bowen escaped unharmed.But Kobe faced the 38-year-old veteran Reggie Miller and kept breaking through to the basket. Miller had more than enough energy for this, and O'Neal had to wipe the ass of his teammates who missed the basket time and time again.

As proud as O'Neal, he cannot allow his former younger brother Kobe to act recklessly under his basket. The Zen Master sees this very clearly, and Kobe is willing to accept this challenge.

Finally, O'Neal received his third personal foul with about 4 minutes left in the second quarter. At this time, the Pacers trailed by two points 41-43.

To be on the safe side, the Pacers still replaced O'Neal to protect them. Without Optimus Prime inside, the Pacers' offense fell into constipation again. In the face of the tough defense of the Lakers, Al Harrington's half-baked singles could not hold up. The vitality of the team, only relying on Reggie Miller's strong three-pointer, barely survived the first half.

The Lakers, who had taken the initiative, gradually let go of their hands and feet. Artest, who performed poorly in the first half, and Billups, who had a low sense of presence, both began to make their own contributions. The Lakers once bloomed more and took the lead. Beat the Pacers by more than 10 points.

Seeing that nothing could be done, the Pacers put on a full bench after making a symbolic resistance in the fourth quarter. The physical strength of veterans is more precious than that of young people.

"The game is already in the refrigerator, the refrigerator door is closed, the lights are off, the eggs are getting cold, the butter is starting to harden, and the jelly is starting to dance!" As the game entered garbage time, the Lakers' home DJ played victory music, And Meyers also quoted Chick Hearn's reserved quotations as the end of the game.

101 to 87, the Lakers won the finals at home to a good start.

科比31分5篮板3助攻，其中有12分来自于罚球，加内特23分14篮板5助攻2抢断2盖帽，湖人首发五人得分全部上双。

O'Neal had 28 points and 13 rebounds, and Reggie Miller had 21 points and made 8 of 4 three-pointers.But the normal performance of the two of them alone cannot help the Pacers win at the Lakers' home court.

It seems that the Lakers' winning form is very good. Following the Celtics' 8 consecutive championships in ancient times, no team can win more than three consecutive championships. Maybe Michael Jordan can challenge this record if he does not retire midway.

In the second game two days later, the Lakers will be full of confidence.

The fans are also more upbeat and relaxed, Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio, Diane Cannon, Penny Marshall There is never a shortage of stars at Staples Arena , Angeles City and Hollywood, and the glorious history of the Lakers complement each other.

Judging from the trend of the first game, it is not a problem for the vigorous Lakers to win this game.

But the tough Indiana Pacers objected.

Reggie Miller dared to pull out his [-]x scope at Madison Square Garden, and of course he dared to pull out his sun bow in Los Angeles.

When the Lakers continued to firmly double-team O'Neal, Reggie Miller used a more accurate three-pointer than the first game, telling Zen Master that the same trick will not work a second time.

On the defensive end, the Pacers use Bruce Bowen to deal with Kobe, and use Miller to defend Artest, who has less scenes. They are betting that Zen Master will not let Artest, who has a relatively low offensive grasp, become the main force of the Lakers in the finals. firepower.

In front of Kobe, the road at four o'clock in the morning turned into a subway station for getting off work in the evening. Not only did he have to squeeze through the crowds, but he also had to be wary of some strange things.

Back then, Jaylen Rose played an incomplete version of Tiancanjiao, and Kobe was injured and left the field. He missed the next game. Now he is facing the genuine Tiancanjiao. Once he is recruited, the entire series may be reversed.

Bowen's defense against Kobe is to put shots to prevent breakthroughs, but when shooting, he uses step-up methods to interfere, and shows no mercy to his former teammates.

Kobe had seen the power of Bo Wentian's broken foot before, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw Bo Wentian's aggressive moves. The stability of the CIC was affected a bit.Failed to provide continuous and stable output.

The most important thing is that the number of impacts O'Neal received was greatly reduced, and he was able to focus more on the offensive end.

The Lakers used Ben Wallace, Brad Miller and Desagina Diop to take turns to deal with O'Neal, but the sharks who were attacking with all their strength were not easily stopped.

Zen Master, aware of the strategic deviation, made adjustments at halftime. Both Artest and Kobe stepped up their breakthroughs. However, under Bowen's entanglement, Kobe wanted to kill O'Neal who intended to protect his foul count. It was not easy, but for Artest's brute force breakthrough, Miller used his own experience to defend, but made Artest two offensive fouls.

The Pacers, who played as well as they could, poured cold water on the Lakers supporters at the Staples Center. O'Neal declared his unshakable dominance at the basket with 36 points and 15 rebounds. Reggie Miller was talking about his teenage madness. He scored 7 points on 6 of 31 three-pointers. The two of them, one inside and one outside, helped the Pacers beat the Lakers 98-92 and tied the total score at 1-1. .

It seems that the two sides are tied, but the 2-3-2 arrangement is even more unfavorable for the Lakers. The Pacers, who have a poor record in the regular season, will have 3 home games in a row. It may happen, the situation is not optimistic.
