Kobe in Chapter 52

The opponent replaced the main lineup, and it was still the favorite team to win the championship like the Lakers, but Adelman still looked at the watch and carried out the lineup rotation as he expected in his heart. Doing so was undoubtedly willful.

But the old coach was lucky not to pay for his willfulness this time. The Rockets' substitutes are eye-catching, although they can compete against the luxurious team composed of Kobe, Gasol, Odom and Bynum. Legion, but the performance of David Lee and Lowry has kept the last slight advantage for the Rockets.

David Lee's mid-range shots, unstoppable air cuts, tireless offensive rebounds to pick up leaks, the small steel cannon's slightly sharp breakthroughs, and the punctual long-range shots are all keeping the Rockets alive. In the game against the Lakers, it seems that at every such fatal moment, a Rockets player will stand up to save the team, and this time is obviously a time for role players to play.

With 7 minutes and 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Gasol made a defensive foul by his younger brother and made two free throws. A Shuai waved his hand, and the Rockets went up and down five times. All the main players except the point guard position Debut, ready to fight the Lakers to the death.

At this time, the physical advantage of the Rockets is clearly reflected. Looking back at the offensive end, Gasol failed to compete with Yao Ming for the position. The little giant took the ball with his back and was turned around flexibly. Angry button.

Kobe looked at the three towers in his lineup, feeling particularly disappointed with Mrs. Jia, Shark and Lama in his heart.

After the previous two seasons, the Lakers instantly lost their ability to compete for the championship due to O'Fat. They have been hovering on the edge of the playoffs in the past few seasons. This is naturally intolerable for Kobe, who has always been strong. He forced the Lakers to strengthen by threatening him not to renew his contract with the Lakers, and traded all-star players to help him. In fact, they really succeeded. Before the 08 All-Star Game I don’t know what method was used. It looks like a robbery to outsiders. Using Gasol Jr., Kwame Brown, Aaron McGee, Crittington, plus two first-round picks in 08 and 10 Get Dajia over.

Kobe was very happy at that time, threatening that the team fulfilled his promise, and they also reached the finals last year, but
Facing the fierce wolf king, Gasol, who was facing him, did not perform at the All-Star level at all. His averages of 14.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game seemed ordinary, but facing Garnett's 18.2 points and 13 rebounds It pales in comparison.

One of the 6 games was limited to single-digit scores by the Wolf King. In the last life-and-death game, he only scored 11 points and 8 rebounds. Garnett, who was on the opposite side, scored 26 points and 17 rebounds. The Lakers are out of the playoffs.

As for Odom and Bynum, let's not mention it. They didn't have a sense of presence in the finals.

After the game, various media criticized the Lakers insider. Although Kobe took the initiative to stand up and excuse the Spaniard at that time, it is absolutely impossible to say that the boss is not angry.

Now, when I see my golden partner's soft look every time on the court, and when I see the little giants in the opponent's team with a determined face and kill the Quartet, Volute doesn't know how much he wants to switch places between Jiasao and Dayao .

"Shh!"

If the fourth quarter is Yao Ming's Achilles' heel, then for Kobe, the fourth quarter is the stage where he just started to perform!

Artest followed closely, and Francis dropped the old fisher Fisher to chase and intercept, but Kobe still regarded the two as nothing, jumped up and hit a three-pointer.

After falling behind for a full quarter, the Lakers finally overtook by 1 point!
The Rockets attack, Yao Ming holds the ball to attract a double-team, the little giant even passes the ball to Artest on the outside, Odom moves laterally and throws the Totoro to defend Artest, but the beast does not give the ball to the open at this time Totoro, on the contrary, shot a three-pointer himself.

"Bang!"

"Hold the grass!"

Totoro was a little angry. Artest made it clear that he didn't believe in himself as a rookie. He actually forced his shot at such a critical juncture. Naturally, the arc he raised to avoid blocking the shot didn't translate into a score.

Jiasao resisted Dayao and took the rebound, facing the front with a long pass that penetrated the audience.

Kobe received the ball within the three-point line and dribbled a few steps, ready to jump and dunk in the three-second zone, but Totoro, who had already returned to defense in advance, chased behind him with the speed of a bug, leaping like an eagle. Pick up the dunk ready to cap the volute.

But the boss is the boss. After jumping up, he found that the situation behind him was not right. He immediately changed his action by relying on his own bug-like lingering in the air. basket.

"beep!"

This time, Totoro and the boss had an "intimate" physical contact. As long as the person who is about to play is Kobe, even if he is replaced by the little emperor, it is difficult to escape this foul, not to mention that this is the Staples Center. .

"Shh!"

What's even more unpleasant is that the volute made 3 or 4 turns on the rim and went straight in. At the most critical moment, the boss scored another 2+1!

"Wow!"

The atmosphere in the Staples Arena suddenly exploded. All the fans applauded Kobe's wonderful dodge layup. In fact, this shot was really brilliant. Totoro knew that he might have to do it again. It's in the top ten goals, but this time it's as the background emperor.

"Roar!"

Excited, the volute climbed up from the ground, and while yelling at the fans on the sidelines, he did not forget to look at Totoro with disdainful eyes, wanting to leave a shadow on this potential rookie. , In short, I have no good intentions.

However, the depressing Chinese said that he was very stuffy and wanted to be alone, but he didn't look at Kobe and him. He punched the volute on the cotton and immediately fucked the dog.

A free throw was made, and the Lakers led the Rockets by 4 points. Adelman immediately called a timeout, preparing to let the Rockets players who were about to be crushed down to calm down. It is easy to have waves on the basketball court, and the beginning of those is often his own A few shots were missed, but the opponent made such a 2+1, 3+1 morale-boosting goal.At this time, a coach who can play will never be stingy with the timeout in his hands.
