In his ten-year career, Kobe has rarely had such an easy second quarter.

Generally speaking...

Only when the game enters the garbage time ahead of time will the main players sit on the sidelines all the time, and there are very few players who will not be the main players in the second quarter.

Kobe sat on the bench for the entire second quarter!

Rather...

The Lakers continued to expand their score advantage.

Kobe also began to admire Gentry. Tactical layout is one aspect. No one can do better than Gentry in controlling people's hearts. He can always make the players full of fighting spirit. Even the substitute players can surpass their level. Playing well, it's no wonder that in the 05-06 season, the Knicks' lineup is so bad, they can still win the championship.

It's not just relying on defending the country, Gentry also has a lot of credit.

The first half is over.

60:51! ! !

The Lakers lead by 9 points.

The substitute players scored 37 points in the second quarter, 14 points more than the first quarter. The opponents were the same. The players on the field in the first quarter were Paul, Kobe, Gasol, Odom, and Patriotic.

"This season..."

Kobe stretched his waist and walked to the player tunnel, "It's easier than I thought."

The away locker room is very simple.

Gentry took out some pastries from the insulated box and distributed them to everyone to replenish some energy.

15 minute break...

Gentry has been chatting with the substitute players, fables one after another, and after the story is over, he discusses the enlightenment brought by the fables with the substitute players. Bynum and Turiaf are the most active speakers, rushing to raise their hands .

......

In the third quarter, it's time for the main players to harvest the game.

It's a healthy competition...

The substitute players are all playing so well, of course the main players can't be ashamed.

Wei Guo made a super long three-pointer when he came on the court. Okur wanted to return a three-pointer, but Odom interfered and missed... Gasol grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave the ball to Wei Guo, Kobe Bryant Already running to the front court, Wei Guo casually threw the ball to the front court, the running speed of the basketball was almost the same as Kobe's running speed.

When Kobe went over the free throw line, the basketball went over the free throw line.

All it takes is a light hop to catch the basketball in the air and a 180-degree turn.

"Boom!!!"

Kobe easily completed a two-handed back button!

"Good dunk!"

"Good pass!"

Kobe and Weiguo pointed at each other, with tacit smiles on their faces at the same time.

Paul is so envious...

Not envious of the relationship between Kobe and Wei Guo, but envious of the pass just now, the seemingly random throw was so clever, the basketball was chasing Kobe, during the fast-break alley-oop dunk process, Kobe didn't make a single move It is superfluous, Paul has a very clear understanding of his level, and understands that he will never be able to pass such a good ball.

This is why every year the official statistics of the top ten shots, top ten dunks, and top ten assists will single out Wei Guo alone, and Wei Guo cannot be allowed to participate.

Once Wei Guo gets involved...

The top ten shots, the top ten dunks, the top ten assists, the top ten blocks... These are not seen by other players.

A player who can casually finish dunks at the free throw line in actual combat, letting him participate in the top ten dunks is playing hooligans. The goals scored by Wei Guo in one game are more exciting than the top ten career goals of ordinary players.

The Lakers' offensive momentum is too strong, and the Jazz are completely overwhelmed!

"beat la..."

"beat la..."

"beat la..."

The sound was still echoing in the arena, but the momentum was much weaker. The home audience was cursing, but there was nothing they could do. They really couldn't beat it!

......

In the past 7 minutes of the third quarter, the Lakers widened the point difference to 20 points.

There is still more than one quarter to go, leading by 20 points does not count as garbage time, but Gentry replaced Kobe, Gasol, and Patriotic. The main players only left Paul and Odom on the court, Bynum, Trevor Ariza, Vujacic playing... This is to tell the Jazz that the game is over and I am going to start training.

Sloan won't rest key players prematurely...

But the Lakers lineup is not weak, and it is almost impossible to recover 20 points in one and a half quarters.

The absence of Wei Guo and Kobe did not affect Paul's performance at all. Not only did he assist his teammates, Paul also started the offensive mode.

The game is over quickly.

119:91! ! !

The Lakers beat the Jazz by 28 points.

Half a month after the start of the regular season, the Lakers played eight games. This was the most hearty victory. There were only 119 points in a single game, but 8 points scored in double figures. They were Wei Guo's 21 points, Kobe's 13 points, Gasol 11 points, Paul 19 points, Odom 10 points, Bynum 15 points, Ariza 13 points, Turiaf 10 points.

in...

Wei Guo made 8 of 8 shots, a [-]% hit rate.

This was an extremely efficient victory, which weakened the role of stars and played team basketball. Many head coaches regarded this game as a case study, hoping to learn something from it.

......

The Lakers don't have a running-in problem, and they played very smoothly at the beginning of the season.

So far, it has won 17 consecutive victories, and only three teams have allowed the Lakers to fight until the end. One is the Spurs, the other is the Raptors, and it has always been the Wizards. In overtime, relying on Wei Guo's performance in overtime, it was difficult to win the game.

This worries Gentry.

The Lakers encountered the Raptors and Wizards in two consecutive away games, and the wins were not smooth, which shows that the players have mental fatigue.

No one is more familiar with mental fatigue than Gentry. During the Rockets, Nets, and Suns, they all had winning streaks. Once the winning streak exceeds 15 games, players will feel numb to victory. The spirit caused by this numbness Fatigue can make players sluggish on the court, which is not the same thing as being physically tired.

This tiredness goes away very well...

After losing a game, the player's state will naturally come back.

No matter how strong the lineup is, the Bulls won only 72 games back then, and the Lakers only won 33 consecutive victories back then, which is inseparable from this kind of mental fatigue.

The Lakers want to create an undefeated myth, and they also put a lot of mental pressure on the players. When the pressure is high, problems are prone to problems. Injuries have begun to invade the Lakers. Bynum is injured and Turiaf is injured. Fortunately, The main players are in good condition, but this is just the beginning. Gentry knows very well that only iron men can play the full regular season. Even if they are the main players, it is normal for them to miss more than a dozen games in a regular season.

Difficulties lie ahead...

What Gentry can do for the time being is to move the Suns' medical team to the Lakers to protect the players' bodies as much as possible and avoid unnecessary injuries.
