Chapter 1,197 Kobe VS ‘Jordan’!
In the game between the SuperSonics and the Grizzlies, the shocking strength of the SuperSonics' bench lineup still lingered in Phil Jackson's mind after the game.
The Los Angeles Lakers' imaginary enemy this season is the SuperSonics.
If you want to defeat the Sonics, you must not only withstand the main force of the Sonics.
And he also needs to be able to withstand the SuperSonics' substitutes.
How can we withstand the SuperSonics' strong bench lineup?
Phil Jackson racked his brains and finally thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone.
In the first game against the SuperSonics, they used one against four small players and removed Bynum. This not only allowed Bynum to be added to the bench as a big center, but also allowed the starting lineup to have enough mobility.
At the same time, Deron, who was useless in the starting lineup against the SuperSonics, was moved from the starting lineup to the rotation lineup to drive and organize the team's rotation lineup.
Bynum, Randolph, Jarrett Jack, Ginobili, Deron Williams.
This is the rotation of the Los Angeles Lakers for this game.
The inside line of Bynum and Randolph, let alone the rotation, is a first-class or even top combination in the entire league.
The three-guard outside combination of Jack, Ginobili and Deron Williams is also among the best in the entire league.
With such a rotation, if you get the starting lineup, you can enter the playoffs in the Western Conference, and even be ranked very high.
In Phil Jackson's view, such a lineup is not just as simple as blocking the SuperSonics' rotation.
The Lakers' rotation can be used to win some points in the rotation.
But there's something incredible about Phil Jackson.
The Lakers' rotation was actually beaten 50-50 by the SuperSonics' rotation!
Not only is it 5-5, but it seems that the Seattle SuperSonics' rotation is slightly dominant.
Milicic, Millsap, Danny Green, Ingles, Rondo.
After the first six minutes of the second quarter of this SuperSonics rotation, the score on the field actually became 52 to 53!
You know, at the end of the first quarter, the Sonics were one point behind, and now they are one point ahead.
The Sonics' rotation actually won by two points in six minutes of rotation.
The reason for this is not because the Sonics' two powerful insiders defeated the Lakers' two insiders.
Milicic and Bynum, Randolph and Millsap, these two pairs have been in love with each other since they got together four or five years ago. Not only are they very familiar with each other, but their strengths are also quite close.
In this game, Milicic suppressed Bynum and Randolph suppressed Millsap. Generally speaking, it was evenly matched. What really allowed the SuperSonics to suppress the Lakers in the rotation was the SuperSonics point guard, Rajon Long. many!
In this game, he has specifically asked the players to stare at Rondo throughout the game.
But Rondo still showed a very strong level.
Faced with Ginobili's full coverage.
In just six minutes, Rondo still made 3 of 6, scoring the highest 9 points in the rotation.
Rondo's efficiency has indeed dropped, but it is still very high!
"Didn't Rondo stretch his hips when a defensive player was guarding him the entire time?!"
"Why can Rondo be so accurate when being defended closely?"
"Does he really have hard skills? But why are his free throws so solid and his shooting training before the game so solid? And he's not tough on you, and he's really solid. It doesn't look like he's cheating at all!"
Not to mention Phil Jackson, other live audiences and those in front of the TV also found it incredible.
Of course, Ye Si knows that Rondo is not afraid of close defense. Rondo, who moves to catch and shoot without the ball, is afraid of being close.
Rondo, who holds the ball, is not afraid of getting close to him.
With Rondo's shooting ability and 76's touch, even close defense can be very efficient.
The reason why Rondo is afraid of being close without the ball is
That's because, without the ball, when Ye Si passes the ball to Rondo, Rondo will receive the ball inaccurately due to the close defense. In the end, it is very likely that the touch value of 76 will be delayed to 54, or he may get rid of it early. Yes, it feels like a 21 when shooting.
Even if Rondo is close to him without the ball, it would be difficult for him to accurately control his shot when he has a 76 touch. Yese's Rondo formula will be inaccurate.
But now, Rondo has the ball in his hands and can pull it out whenever he wants. Naturally, the situation is completely different.
Of course, it is definitely better to defend without one than to defend closely. However, it seems a bit naive to want to use personal defense to limit the current Rondo.
Although Phil Jackson and the Lakers' ideas and tactics against the Sonics and Rondo failed.
But I have to say that Phil Jackson and the Lakers were really well prepared for this game.
All aspects have been considered.
"After a quarter and a half of the game, the Seattle SuperSonics only scored 53 points. This is already the lowest score the SuperSonics has scored at this point in the season, right?"
When the starting players from both teams took the court again, Barkley was a little bit incredulous.
Where are the devastating Seattle SuperSonics? !
"Not only has the SuperSonics' score at this point in time reached a new low, but their lead is also a new low. They are only leading by 1 point."
Kenny Smith is also a bit incredible.
You know, in the Seattle SuperSonics games this season, even against the Grizzlies, the starting lineup was inseparable. After the rotation, the lead was very wide.
And now, after the SuperSonics rotation is over, they are only one point ahead of the Lakers!
"This game may really be a game with very unexpected results!"
Kenny Smith's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of this.
Not only Kenny Smith, but also the media reporters present and many viewers in front of the TV had their eyes shining brightly.
The starting lineup of the Lakers and SuperSonics is 50-50, and now the substitutes are close to 50-50. So naturally this game is also a 50-50 game. A 50-50 game, any outcome is possible!
"In this game, the two big B's of Viper's pretending will be finished, right?"
Don't do this!
O'Neal in the stands was already blinking with a guilty conscience.
At this time, after the match between the two teams started again, the audience was once again excited.
Because after the game restarted in the second quarter, Kobe beat Leonard again as soon as he started.
A standard waist-position turnaround and fadeaway jump shot!
Leonard has been defensive to the extreme.
But the basketball thrown by Kobe still hit the net with a blast!
I have to say that Kobe's condition in this game was so good that Leonard frowned, and it was the kind of frown that made Leonard frown.
Of course, looking back, Leonard also responded to Kobe with a turnaround fadeaway jumper.
"The movements of the two are almost exactly the same. This is the perfect answer ball!"
"It's not exactly the same, Kobe's is Kobe's, but Leonard's looks more like Jordan's!"
"Yes, the battle between Kobe and Leonard in this game is a battle between Kobe and Jordan!"
Seeing Leonard and Kobe continue the unfinished battle in the first quarter on the court, even Kenny Smith had a look of admiration on his face.
The showdown between Kobe and Jordan was definitely one of the hottest topics in the NBA ten years ago.
It's not like Kobe and Jordan never faced off.
But there is no doubt that when Jordan was still at his peak, Kobe was too young. Kobe was strong, but Jordan was old.
It can be said that the two of them missed their perfect peak.
So, what will the matchup between Jordan and Kobe look like?
It will always remain in everyone’s imagination.
But now, the duel between Leonard and Kobe on the court has made everyone's imagination come true!
"The showdown between Jordan and Kobe is probably more like this, right?"
At this time, many people were praising it.
Maybe the whole world, just the look on Jordan's face is not very good.
Jordan also came to the scene for this game.
The greatest regular season matchup in history.
The battle between the two strongest regular season teams in NBA history!
The most valuable Christmas battle in history.
Even though he had very strong opinions on both teams in this game, he still couldn't miss this game.
Now I am watching the duel between Jordan and Leonard on the court, and listening to the praise of the duel between Jordan and Kobe.
Jordan felt a little uncomfortable.
Because everyone really thinks Leonard is him!
Like, that's really like it.
Compared to Yes, the 'Young Capital Leader' of the Lord of the Holy City, Leonard is indeed more like his 'Young Gang Leader'.
However, this does not mean that he is willing to be replaced by Leonard!
How could he be replaced by Leonard in his duel with Kobe!
only……
I have to say that Leonard is really strong.
Maybe on the offensive end, he is still a little behind, but on the defensive end, Leonard's strength has definitely reached his level, or even exceeded his level.
Although he is very reluctant, he has to admit that if there is anyone in the world who can replace him and compete with Kobe, it can only be Leonard!
In fact, Leonard is more suitable to replace him than Pierce, Tracy McGrady, etc. in the past.
Leonard is the most suitable to replace him and face off against Kobe.
But Leonard is also the player he least wants to replace!
because……
"Michael, I think not only can I be the second boss of Yes, but you can also be the third boss of Yes!"
The third boss is crazy!
At this time, Jordan and James Harden, who happened to be passing by on the sidelines, glared at Pippen almost at the same time.
That's why Jordan was upset.
Damn it, Pippen has always said that Durant is his perfect evolved version. If his boss was Yes, Durant would be like him.
Damn, this is so shameless!
What kind of offensive talent do you have? Others don’t know it, but I, Joe, don’t know it yet?
But whether he knew it or not, Pippen shamelessly inserted himself into Durant's role.
And now, if Leonard is his partner, doesn't that mean that in the SuperSonics, Pippen can be the second child, but if his partner and Pippen go to the SuperSonics together, he can only be the third child?
As for James Harden…
James Harden is indeed quite resentful right now.
I always thought I was the third child.
But now, Mr. Ha has discovered that he has unknowingly become Mr. Ha...
Looking at Leonard who was not far away and continued to respond to Kobe Bryant in almost the same way on the offensive end, James Harden's eyes were full of resentment.
He and Antetokounmpo faced off against Kobe.
He was out immediately after half a quarter.
But Leonard was slightly suppressed in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, when Kobe focused on targeting him, he could still persevere!
No matter how reluctant Mr. Ha is to admit it, he has to admit now that Leonard may really be stronger than Mr. Ha.
After Kobe defeated James Harden and Antetokounmpo in the first quarter, in the second quarter, he chose to defeat Leonard first between Leonard and Durant, focusing on attacking Leonard.
This was something Kobe had carefully considered.
He has already felt the strength gap between him, Leonard and Durant from the first quarter of the game.
If you choose to focus on taking care of Durant first, you might hit Leonard because of distraction, and he and Durant will have to fight 50-50 for who knows when.
In this case, send Leonard out first, and then send Durant out.
To be honest, he never expected that this game would be like this with the Sonics guys.
James Harden and Antetokounmpo were able to repel them normally and easily.
But Leonard and Durant...
Durant won’t talk about it yet.
Damn it, he and Leonard actually ended up in a duel between Kobe and Jordan!
You know, for him in this game, even if Jordan does come, he will be like Leonard at most, right?
To be honest, before the start of this game, in his prediction of the game as a psychological master, such a scene had never appeared.
Of course, although Leonard's strength made him feel shocked and incredible, it also made him excited.
"In this game, I can not only prove that I am better than Yes, but also prove that I am better than Jordan!"
Kobe is full of fighting spirit now!
Of course, although Leonard opposite him looked paralyzed, his eyes had changed from dull to unruly!
Unruly eyes!
Seeing this look, Durant smiled on his face.
Because, this is the look Leonard looked at him back then!
The look in his eyes can replace it!
"In this game, has this seemingly honest but insidious boy finally shown off his full strength?!"
Durant's eyes had narrowed slightly.
At this time, Nelson, who was on the sidelines, was equally dumbfounded.
At least 1.9!
Leonard's board value is at least 1.9!
Just as Nelson was dumbfounded, the fans in the audience went crazy, and all the experts and reporters were shocked, the second quarter of the game between the Lakers and SuperSonics ended!
74 to 72!
Kobe Bryant hit a buzzer-beating mid-range shot against Leonard's defense, and the Lakers once again took the lead.
The duel between Kobe and Jordan also ended.
At the end of the half, the faces of Leonard and Jordan turned dark almost at the same time.
Kobe VS ‘Jordan’!
Winner, Kobe!
