The rise of basketball legends

The Lakers quickly served the ball, and Lao Yu controlled halftime.

The Suns defended a classic 2-3 zone defense this round. Chen Yan and Nash stood at the left and right elbows, and the other three stood behind them lined up.

Garnett mentioned the three-point support at the top of the arc, and immediately transferred it to Kobe on the wing after receiving the ball.

As soon as Kobe took the ball, he received special care from the sun. Nash in the elbow area moved laterally to try to form a pinch with Raja Bell.

Kobe first made a fake shot to open Raja Bell, and then dropped the ball to break through the weak defensive bottom line.

Nash posted it quickly, not giving him a chance to kill the basket.

When Kobe was close to the bottom line, he suddenly stopped in his crotch!

Then connect with a back turn!

Nash was completely fooled and stood where he was.

Just when Kobe was about to turn over and shoot, Raja Bell rushed up again.

This is why the Suns are determined to send a double to defend Kobe.

Kobe feinted again, and Raja Bell was not fooled this time, sticking close to him.

Kobe didn't choose to pass the ball when the ball was dead. He made a slight adjustment and made a very difficult fallback.

This is a typical Kobe-style shot, forcibly finding a rhythm when there is no rhythm.

"Bang!"

The basketball bounces out of the frame!

Although Kobe has scored 27 points today, he doesn't feel good. The ball just now was his 14th iron tonight.

Garnett rushed inside and made two consecutive hits. The third time he lost his balance and failed to receive the ball. Jordan took the ball into his arms first.

Although Garnett did not grab the offensive rebounds, he delayed the Suns' fast break opportunity.

After Jordan grabbed the ball and handed it to Nash, Kobe ran back to the defensive half at a constant speed.

"You dare to shoot this kind of ball, do you think you are me?"

At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly said something abruptly beside him, and then ran away at a high speed.

Kobe was stunned for a second before reacting, md!Is this kid talking trash to me?

Kobe immediately gestured to James Posey to switch defenses.

Nash handed the ball to Chen Yan just after halftime, and Kobe just stood in front of him.

Chen Yan grabbed the ball with one hand, and Nash quickly ran to his side.

Instead of hand-to-hand cooperation, Nash was helping Chen Yan as a cover, allowing him to dislocate and hit Fisher.

When Kobe saw that Chen Yan wanted to call Fisher, he immediately accelerated to catch up with Chen Yan.

Still want to roll call in front of Lao Tzu?

I'll give you all the roster!

Nash is different from a screen player in the conventional sense. He has a small body and was squeezed by Kobe as soon as he was squeezed.

Chen Yan's adaptability is very strong. When he saw Kobe forcing his way over, he didn't rush forward to dribble the ball, but chose to pause for a while.

Kobe's speed was confiscated, and he bumped into Chen Yan's side all of a sudden. The moment his body touched, Chen Yan shot a three-pointer!

"Beep!"

The referee whistled, and Chen Yan won three free throws.

Kobe curled his lips helplessly, this time he was swayed by Chen Yan.

"Chen is very experienced in handling the ball. This second-year rookie sometimes plays like a veteran who has been in the league for ten years." Mike Breen laughed.

Van Gundy nodded: "Three free throws plus a foul on Kobe's back. Chen played very smartly. He made the most cost-effective offensive choice in this time period."

Chen Yan made all three free throws, 101 to 90, and the point difference widened to 10 points.

The offensive end was ridiculed, and the defense failed to prevent it. Kobe was already on top at this time.

'Zen Master' Phil Jackson yelled "put the ball in the lane" from the sidelines, and Kobe was like selective deafness, picking up the ball and starting to do it alone.

Bryant shifted speed to the free throw line at a 45-degree angle and then began singles with his back to the basket.

The moment Kobe turned his hips and was about to turn over, Chen Yan's pincer attack came up.

Chen Yan is also a super offensive player, he knows how to make the scorer uncomfortable.

The other players of the Suns moved quickly and got stuck in Kobe's passing line, but they obviously thought too much, and Kobe didn't intend to pass the ball.

With an almost reclining back, Kobe threw the ball very extremely.

"Bang!"

The iron strike sounded again.

The ball hit the front and popped out, and Fisher picked up the offensive rebound first.

"Ouch! Still not! Although Kobe's hands are average today, the Suns still insist on double-teaming. This is the minimum respect for a player of this level, because you don't know when it will explode." Zhang Lili turned into Weiping - Bryant saluted.

Yang Yi answered from the side: "Fortunately, Fisher got the offensive rebound, and the Lakers still have a second chance to attack."

As soon as the words fell, Kobe pulled another one after receiving a pass from Fisher.

"Bang!"

The 16th iron in this field is coming...

Yang Yi looked embarrassed, paused for two seconds and said: "The Lakers' offensive play in these few rounds is too simple. They let Kobe play against the defenders. They should play more cooperation, and it is best to play more inside." , Garnett hasn't touched the ball in several possessions."

In the offensive round of the Suns, Chen Yan faced the Lakers double-teaming after receiving the ball. There were still Lakers players on the bottom line ready to encircle them on time, as long as Chen Yan dribbled the ball and broke through.

This time Chen Yan didn't take a shot. He gave it to Dior at the free throw line. This is not a basketball fire. It is impossible for Chen Yan to make difficult drifting shots against the defense of 3-4 players every round.

There was a short gap after Diaw received the ball, but he didn't shoot. Diaw chose to take a dribble and then hit the basket.

The Lakers were out of position, James Posey came up from the wing, and Diaw took a routine layup position.

James Posey jumped up and gave him a pegboard hat directly!

Diaw was careless. He ignored James Posey's 219cm wingspan.

James Posey controlled the basketball after nailing the board, and Kobe frantically beckoned for the ball. Phil Jackson, the 'Zen Master', quickly called a timeout. He felt that he could no longer let Kobe go on like this.

Phil Jackson: "Kobe, we must change our offensive thinking. Now the Suns focus on defending you. Strong play will only reduce the success rate. Trust your teammates and give them the ball when you encounter double-teams. They open up your offense. It will be comfortable too."

Kobe looked stern and said nothing.

He wanted to compete with Chen Yan, to be precise, he didn't want to let go of any chance to compete with Chen Yan.

Many people say that after winning the MVP, Kobe has entered another stage of the player. His mind has matured. Aggressive play.

Phil Jackson pulled Kobe aside after setting up the tactics. He saw Kobe's emotions: "Kobe, remember our season goals? We are going to fight for victory, fight for the championship, and put things on the personal level. Put it aside for now, trust your teammates more, let us bring the game on track together, ok?"

Kobe nodded after listening, "Zen Master" was very pleased, he felt that Kobe had listened to what he said.

The game restarted. Kobe took the serve from the sideline and went to the right to break through. The Suns double-teamed immediately. Passed to Garnett on the inside.

Garnett caught the ball and turned to the outside, pressing Dior with a small hook and scoring.

101:92.

"The Lakers finally scored. They have an advantage inside. This is their correct way of attacking." Mike Breen said.

"Phil Jackson's timeout has worked. Let's see how the Suns deal with it."

The Suns attacked, Nash brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Fisher was defending him.

Fisher played a bit too much, and he didn't let go suddenly. Nash's touch fell after entering the fourth quarter and he didn't score too much.

Nash walked to the right, Chen Yan was also on this side, and the other three Suns players pulled to the other side.

Chen Yan made a screen for Nash and pulled outside. Nash turned to look at Chen Yan. His eyes successfully deceived James Posey and Fisher, and Nash accelerated to the outside of the penalty area in the next second.

This side has been completely emptied, and Nash's breakthrough is unimpeded.

Garnett moved to cover the defense, and Nash ran the shot before his block came.

The basketball hit the rebound, 103 to 92, and Nash finally scored, which slightly relieved the offensive pressure on Chen Yan.

Placing Nash and Chen Yan on the same side is a tactic deployed by D'Antoni during the timeout period. Mustache wants to use the pick-and-roll between the two to break up the Lakers' crazy flank.

After scoring, the Suns were not happy for too long. Looking back, Garnett went down the pick-and-roll and scored 2+1 on Jordan.

This is Jordan's fifth personal foul. Due to his inexperience and too long playing time tonight, Jordan did not control his fouls.

D'Antoni temporarily removed him and replaced him with Barnes.

The Suns passively played a small lineup, and the Lakers had a huge advantage inside. They began to frequently lob the ball in the penalty area, and the success rate was what they played.

Even if they don’t score, they still have a good chance of taking the offensive basket and continuing to attack. This kind of offensive strategy makes the sun very uncomfortable. They can only let the outside players like Chen Yan and Bell shrink back to protect the rebound. Played in a small lineup but couldn't make a few decent counterattacks.

On the defensive end, they began to put pressure on the large-area defense on the side with the ball, and almost all defensive resources were tilted towards Chen Yan and Nash.

As long as Chen Yan or Nash catches the ball, at least two players around him will always be in charge.

So, the court game suddenly becomes whether the other Suns role players can convert that damn open opportunity into a score.

Coincidentally, the few role players on the Suns field didn't feel good. This has something to do with Chen Yan and Nash's aggressive offense in the first three quarters and they didn't get too many opportunities.

The Lakers took the opportunity to play a wave of offensive climax to narrow the score to 4 points.

This time it was D'Antoni's turn to be unbearable, and he called a timeout in the next offensive round.

The happiest thing for the Lakers to catch up with the score is the fans, because only when the score is close to the game will there be a stalemate, and only when the game is stalemate will the scene be exciting.
