NBA bench saves national team

Except that the coaching team of the Lakers is staying up late and working overtime.

Kobe Bryant, one of the team's superstars, also stayed in the arena for extra training after the game.

He was very dissatisfied with his performance tonight, so he trained harder to find his game state.

The huge arena was empty.

Only the lights were on on the field.

Bryant's figure is so lonely.

But obviously he has long been used to this loneliness, and he has spent countless nights like this in the past.

He likes it.

It seems that only me and basketball are left in the whole world, so that I can devote myself to it and put [-]% of my energy on basketball.

This is Kobe's attitude towards basketball.

It is this paranoia, persistent persistence, and perseverance that ordinary people cannot match that made him step by step and become Kobe Bryant today.

It's the effort that made this NBA superstar.

After two hours of extra training, Kobe dragged his tired body out of the arena and returned to the hotel to rest.

Training is important.

Rest is even more important.

Kobe strictly stipulated his rest time in order to maintain his vigorous energy.

If the rest is not good, it will definitely affect the game plan.

For this reason, Kobe has his own little trick that he has maintained for many years. No matter when and where, as long as he has free time, he will take a nap.

Dividing sleep can also allow the body to recover well.

For example, it takes more than half an hour to take a bus from the hotel to the stadium, and Kobe will sleep with his eyes closed in his seat during this time.

Or in the pre-match preparations, when receiving physical therapy from a masseur in the locker room, he will also rest with his eyes closed.

If you don't take a break, you will hold a computer research competition.

In short.

Kobe made full use of his 24 hours a day and would never waste any time.

It is really difficult for ordinary people to do this.

Perhaps this is the difference between mortals and great men.

......

After a day off.

Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals series kicks off at the Ford Center.

The pre-match warm-up is over.

The starting lineups of both sides debut.

The Lakers changed and made adjustments. The starting lineup is: Qin Feng, Gasol, Artest, Kobe, Lowry;

Coach Kerr put Anderson, a defensive loophole, on the bench.

Arrange Qin Feng at the center position, and let Gasol serve as the power forward.

In this way, the Lakers' advantage in the penalty area is very obvious, and it can even be said to crush their opponents.

At the same time, with Artest being mentioned in the starting lineup, the Lakers' defensive ability has been further strengthened. Whether it is a single defense ability, or assist defense, supplementary defense, and defense ability, each position is at the top of the league.

After all, Qin Feng, Artest, and Kobe are all top defenders who have been selected to the best defensive team.

Gasol and Lowry are also very balanced offensive and defensive players.

Seeing the adjustment of the Lakers, Brooks also frowned, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Steve Kerr on the Lakers' bench.

Put Qin Feng in the center position at the beginning?

It seems that the Lakers want to focus on the inside!

As a coach who has coached Qin Feng for three years, Brooks saw Cole's intention to adjust with just a glance.

Because the Lakers' three-point shooting in the last game was extremely poor, and the team's three-point shooting percentage did not exceed 30%, so Kerr wanted to put the center of offense on the inside in this game.

This kind of adjustment can be said to be very timely. As for the effect, it still depends on the process of the game.

Brooks' expression became serious and dignified, and he was already thinking quickly about how to deal with the adjustment of the Lakers.

He is too aware of Qin Feng's power in the penalty area. With Ibaka's ability, he can't prevent Qin Feng at all.

This game is probably going to be another tough one!

The starting lineup of the Thunder is Ibaka, Durant, Redick, Reggie Jackson, Westbrook;

Still maintained the first two games.

Qin Feng and Ibaka jumped the ball, and the former easily shot the basketball.

The Lakers took the lead in attacking.

After Lowry dribbled the ball for halftime, Qin Feng, who was about to lob the basketball to the penalty area, used Kareem's skyhook skill against Ibaka's defense, jumped up sideways, and stretched his body in the air. Spread it out, and when the arm reaches the highest point, gently push the basketball out.

The basketball draws a small arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

The Thunder attack.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball for halftime, he saw Lowry take a step back, obviously to prevent a breakthrough and make a long shot.

See here.

Westbrook also made a decisive decision and immediately stopped the zombie jumper.

bang.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

After Qin Feng grabbed the rebound, he did not push the counterattack immediately, but passed the basketball to Lowry. After halftime, the latter dribbled the ball back to Qin Feng who was in the penalty area.

Durant and Ibaka quickly double-teamed.

Both of them knew very well that Qin Feng must not be given the chance to play singles in the restricted area.

If Qin Feng has been allowed to play singles in the penalty area, then he can shoot 100% of the shots.

Seeing the double-teaming, Qin Feng flicked his wrist and passed the basketball to Gasol who was emptied under the basket. The latter was unguarded and easily dunked with both hands.

The Thunder attack.

Westbrook dribbled the ball for halftime, and instead of shooting recklessly, he passed the basketball to Durant, who was pulled down beyond the three-point line, and the latter raised his hand to throw a three-pointer.

bang.

Strike the iron again.

Qin Feng received another rebound, and suddenly dribbled the ball and ran towards the frontcourt. Ibaka desperately chased and defended, but he couldn't keep up with Qin Feng's speed.

He stopped outside the three-point line suddenly, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

7: 0.

The Lakers started to suppress the Thunder.

For the next few rounds.

The Lakers still insist on starting from the inside and try to reduce the number of three-point shots from the outside. Unless there is an excellent opportunity, or Qin Feng's willful three-point shot, otherwise they will never shoot three-pointers!

The Thunder team suffered from Qin Feng and Gasol's defensive power in the penalty area. They did not dare to break through the penalty area and could only shoot from the outside.

After playing for a little over 4 minutes, the score came to 14:4.

The Lakers have led by 10 points.

beep.

The referee's whistle blows.

Brooks urgently called a timeout.

The situation of this game is completely reversed from the previous game!

In the last game, the Lakers kept missing three-pointers.

The Thunder blossomed internally and externally, suppressing opponents.

In this game, the Lakers played steadily in the penalty area, but the Thunder kept shooting from the outside.

But the most embarrassing thing is that the Thunder feel cold.

If you continue to play like this, I'm afraid it will be cold before halftime is over.

We must call a pause and adjust it!
