Chapter 1072: Going to Kill the Gods!
"The timeout is over. This time, Nelson didn't make any tactical adjustments?"
The timeout ended and the game restarted. As the current main coach of the Lakers, D'Antoni had a slightly strange look on his face when he saw that Nelson did not continue to make tactical adjustments to deal with Phil Jackson's conspiracy.
"Have the Sonics given up?"
In the first quarter, Nelson, the head coach with the highest reputation and status in the NBA, gave up his struggle?
At this time, D'Antoni looked at the Lakers coach standing next to him, who always had a faint smile on his face, and was quite shocked for a moment.
Sure enough, it is indeed not a simple person to have such a successful head coach in the NBA.
When he was in the Suns, he also played against Nelson more than once.
Basically, he was beaten by Nelson every time.
Even in the year when the Suns won the championship, the Suns eliminated the SuperSonics in the playoffs. In fact, in a direct competition, he was taught by Nelson, and the Suns almost collapsed.
It can be said that Nelson has always been considered by him to be the strongest head coach he has ever seen.
Master Romar is recognized as the strongest, but he has never seen it.
Compared with Nelson, Phil Jackson's reputation in the coaching world is not that high. Even compared with his title of nine-time coach, he is still the one who is underestimated and has been ridiculed by many people for only succeeding. , only the strong will defeat the weak.
But now...
The Lakers, who were desperate, were led by him to defeat such a powerful old Nelson in the first quarter.
Facing D'Antoni's complicated gaze, Phil Jackson's attention was always on the court.
Was Nelson really defeated by him in despair in the first quarter?
Phil Jackson's inner luck was not as easy as the chuckle on his face.
On the court, after the Seattle SuperSonics came back from the timeout, there was no change at all on both offense and defense.
As long as Kobe dares to fight Yes, Yes will use the same means to return it, no matter how difficult it is, he will return it.
When defending, the Sonics no longer tried to get Yes away from Kobe as they did before.
In other words, Nelson and the Sonics have accepted his and the Lakers' consumption of Yes in this game.
On the defensive end, Yes and Kobe are consumed.
On the offensive end, the Lakers front line led by Yes and Artest was consumed.
For almost 48 minutes of a game, Yes was operating at high intensity.
Only if Kobe plays too many games in a row, gets tired, and needs to rest for a while, Yes will have rest time.
How could Nelson and the Sonics accept such high-intensity pressure?
Phil Jackson really felt a little incredible.
He absolutely did not believe that Nelson could not see the consequences of this.
If you really didn't see it, you wouldn't have tried to change it before.
So now, what does it mean to give up on change?
Phil Jackson was confused for a moment.
"Yes, another response to Kobe's success!"
"It's too hard, Yes's response, Yes's offense is too hard!"
"For the whole quarter, Yes had to guard Kobe on the defensive end, and had to fight Artest with his hands tied on the offensive end. Yes did not fall down from fatigue, but Artest actually looked like he fell down from fatigue!"
Barkley shouted in disbelief.
On the court, Artest looked in disbelief at the SuperSonics No. 9 who immediately pulled out after fighting with him. After the pull, he turned around and walked off the court without even checking whether the ball went in.
Artest felt a little bad about himself.
Damn it, if his whole body wasn't a little sore at this time, he might really wonder if he was playing a fake game!
For the entire quarter, Yes' defense had to guard against Kobe, and the offense could only use Kobe's same moves to attack.
It can be said that Yes consumed more than him in the first quarter.
And he was replaced by Batum and Ariza for two minutes in the middle. Yes really stayed on the court from the first second of the first quarter.
He fought continuously for twelve minutes, but by the time of the last attack, his legs were a little weak and his hands were soft, but Yes was still so hard, and his offensive movements were still so standard and picturesque.
You know, this kind of consumption, for Yes, the mental consumption is actually greater than the physical consumption!
Kobe's touch in this game is very good, and Kobe can miss, but if Kobe does, Yes will have the pressure to hit!
It can be said that under such pressure, coupled with such physical exertion, Artest expected Yes to collapse in the first quarter!
But in the end...
It looked like he was about to collapse, but Yes remained unmoving, like a steel giant!
Artest looked at the SuperSonics No. 9, who was cheering for the audience, with shock and disbelief written all over his face.
Next to him, Kobe, Nash and other Lakers players were equally shocked.
Of course they knew Phil Jackson's tactics and intentions in this game.
"Yes will not play for 12 consecutive minutes in this game. You must be prepared to maximize the score when Yes is not on the court."
"There is nothing the Seattle SuperSonics can do in this game. As long as Bryant does what he said, he will be the strongest in this game!"
This is what Phil Jackson said when making tactical arrangements in the locker room before the game.
Now, none of this is what Phil Jackson expected.
Bryant's state in this game was as he said, very good. In the first quarter, Kobe scored 26 points by himself!
In the playoffs, facing Yes' defense, he performed like this and was worthy of being the strongest.
Logically speaking, according to Phil Jackson's prediction for this game, as long as Kobe reaches the premise of being the strongest, Yes will collapse in this game.
They will not be able to hold on in the first quarter, and then they will take a break. Then it will be the time for the Lakers to massacre the SuperSonics.
But what is the result?
Yes insisted on playing a whole section!
And not only did they insist on playing a whole quarter, but Yes scored 30 points in the first quarter of this game!
4 points more than Kobe!
You know, Yes scored in the same way as Kobe. He scored these 30 points when Artest and the Lakers' defensive players knew how he was going to attack!
Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, watching the SuperSonics audience and SuperSonics players cheer wildly and excitedly around the SuperSonics No. 9, every Lakers player had a look of shock on their face.
This really cannot help but shock.
Yes, in the first quarter of this game, he really performed like a god!
"In the first quarter of this game, Yes shot 14-for-16 from the field, including 11 responses to Kobe. The field goal percentage for these ten times was 11-for-11!"
"Yes, in the first quarter, as long as Kobe hits against him, he will definitely hit in the next round!"
"Yes, in the first quarter, he never failed to respond to Kobe's offense. He responded with a 100% hit rate!"
At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 45-40. The two teams played an incredibly high rhythm and offensive efficiency.
At this time, commentators, media, and reporters from various countries were all talking about the crazy data in the first quarter.
As the commentator of this game for TNT, the expression on Kenny Smith's face was truly shocking and constantly changing.
What kind of game is this?
This game simply exceeded his understanding of a player's strength!
Kobe is already strong enough!
And Yes, that strong strength and strong will have even exceeded his cognitive scope!
Not to mention Kenny Smith, even Phil Jackson on the sidelines had shock written all over his face.
"When Nelson gave up making tactical changes during the third timeout of the first quarter, didn't he really put all his hopes on Yes? Do you think Yes can persist until the end of this game?"
In the first quarter of the game, Yes was able to last the entire quarter without a break. This really surprised him.
It was a slap in the face.
That ability and will were indeed beyond his expectations.
Yes is his favorite player in the NBA. He also claims to know Yes best and will never underestimate Yes. But in the end, he still underestimated Yes.
However, even if he still underestimated Yes, he absolutely did not believe that Yes could keep slapping him in the face with such a conspiracy!
Yes, there is no break in the first quarter, but it will definitely collapse in the second quarter!
During the Lakers' rotation in the second quarter of this game, Phil Jackson did not use the Lakers' usual rotation.
In the second quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers' lineup on the court was O'Neal, who rotated Stoudemire on the court three minutes after the first quarter. The power forward position was Stoudemire, who rested three minutes after the first quarter. The forward position is Ariza, the point guard is Mike Bibby, and more importantly, the shooting guard position. At the beginning of the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers game, the shooting guard position is still Kobe!
O'Neal Jr., Stoudemire, Ariza, Kobe Bryant, Mike Bibby!
After the second quarter started, Kobe was still on the court!
"Is Kobe going to play the entire first half of this game?!"
The whole scene was really in an uproar. In the commentary box, the commentators from all over the world were like crazy.
"Play the entire first half?"
"No!"
"I'm going to play the whole game!"
In this game, Phil Jackson did not let him assume the defensive responsibility. On the defensive end, he only needed to open his hands to face Durant. In this case, all his physical strength in this game was used for offense. If he could not If he plays the whole game, then he is not Kobe - the physical maniac - Bryant!
Kobe ignored the exclamations of others at the scene and looked at Ye Si, who was sitting on the bench and didn't seem surprised but was also looking at him.
Want to come up?
"Kobe is provoking Yes!"
Kobe led the Lakers rotation players to play early. Seeing Kobe being so provocative at this time, Yez, who was sitting off the court and was about to rest, made the entire Key Arena scream again.
"Will Yes accept Kobe's provocation?!"
"Yes, don't accept Kobe's provocation!"
"We were already so tired in the first quarter. If we continue to play the full second game, it would be unthinkable!"
"Phil Jackson and the Lakers are so bad!"
"I don't want Yes to accept Kobe's provocation, but Kobe is in such good shape in this game. If Yes doesn't play, the SuperSonics will probably collapse during the rotation!"
"It's too cruel. The strategy of Phil Jackson and the Lakers in this game is really too cruel!"
Kobe prepared to play the entire first half, and even provoked Yes.
This not only makes the atmosphere at Key Arena a bit hot and crazy.
Outside the stadium, hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV were also going crazy at this time.
"The Lakers must collapse. Either they will slap Yes in the face or destroy Yes!"
As the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, the entire Heat team is now excited.
They really didn't expect that the Lakers and SuperSonics would bite so hard in this game.
"Yes, it must be very uncomfortable now!"
On or off?
If he fails to do so, he will be slapped in the face by Kobe. Even if he succeeded in responding to Kobe 11 times in the first quarter and established a full reputation, he still gave up in the face of Kobe's provocation and challenge. With Yes' status and strength, he gave up. He will be slapped in the face, and the power established in the first quarter will be gone!
On!
Then you have to be prepared to play the whole game.
Such a high-intensity game!
Just a little imagination makes people excited and excited.
Based on the intensity of the match that Yes faced in this game, there were too many variables in the entire forty-eight minutes!
"I hope there will be overtime in this game, hahahaha!"
Garnett's laughter made the Heat players very excited.
Yes, it's best that this game has overtime, it's best that not only Yes's game collapsed, but Kobe's game also collapsed, and it's best that after the Lakers and SuperSonics finished their battle, everyone would be disabled when they stood in front of them. The state of blood!
"Yes, don't go there!"'
The Key Arena, which was still crazy just now, after a period of panic, the entire scene has become unusually silent.
Barkley, who was still shouting for Ye Si before, is now trembling and praying that Ye Si will not get involved.
If you lose face, you lose it. Staying healthy and winning the series is the most important thing!
"The competition in the West is too cruel. The competition in the West is really cruel!"
Barkley is quite excited now.
If the Seattle SuperSonics were in the East, judging from the situation of Yes and the SuperSonics this season, they would definitely be swept into the finals!
How could it be possible to encounter such resistance from a team like the Lakers?
After all, there are too many strong teams in the Western Conference, which also shows how lucky the Sonics are to win all this season.
So even Kenny Smith, who has always defended the Eastern Conference, had no reason to refute Barkley's desperate cry.
Indeed, the competition in the West is so cruel!
What to do now Yes?
Not only are countless people on and off the court waiting for answers.
Even the SuperSonics rotation players who were preparing to play looked at Yees at this time.
"Yes stand up!"
"Facing Kobe's provocation and challenge, Yes stood up without any hesitation!"
Seeing Ye Si stand up and take off the thermal clothing without any hesitation.
Many people were laughing, many were cursing, and many were excited.
And Kobe is excited!
"The shackles on God are too heavy. In this game, God will be killed!"
