Chapter 216 Changing Fate Against the Heavens
Kobe has always been serious, but now, he has taken it to the extreme.
The Lakers' round, Bryant's fourth consecutive singles.
"Mystery is here."
Kobe has already hit three irons, and the fourth goal is supposed to be scored.
As a result, Li Ke also entered a state of extreme seriousness.
Borrowing the cover of Mrs. Jia, Kobe rushed out, this time faster than before, even though Li Ke bypassed the cover without any delay, Kobe was still half a step ahead and rushed to the front.
"Kobe goes to the hoop, layup!"
The moment Kobe raised his hand to throw the ball, Li Ke came back.
"Sheldon is back in shape, he's blocking Kobe's shot angle..."
Facing Li Ke, who jumped up and blocked the angle of the layup, Kobe confidently changed his movements.
He withdrew the hand for the layup, and then relied on his strong ability to stay in the air, changed hands, pulled the bar, and layup again.
Snapped!
An expression of astonishment finally appeared on Kobe's face. He could feel a strong force and knocked off the basketball in his hand.
Amidst the exclamation at Staples Center, Barkley yelled thickly: "Sheldon, he blocked Kobe's layup!"
Everyone was surprised, but Kobe was the most surprised.
Kobe is very confident in his ability to stay in the air. Therefore, after he rushed to the basket and jumped up, he was very confident. No matter how Li Ke defended, he would score the ball!
As a result, Li Ke defeated Kobe who had already played out all his cards by using a more outstanding air-stay.
"Sheldon defeated Kobe again, I am not surprised, but a hot topic before the game must be brought up for re-discussion at this time, that is, can Sheldon really be unable to guard Kobe?"
In the discussion on TNT TV before the game, Barkley pointed out that Li Ke's single defense would be a threat to Kobe.
But at the time, he received little support.
Now, he can take the technical statistics from the start of the game and tell everyone: "Look at Kobe's shooting. He made 4 of 0 shots. He can't break through Sheldon's single defense at all!"
Kenny Smith and McBrin both agreed with Barkley because the facts were in plain view.
On the court, with the Bobcats' offense, Li Ke, who had already opened the gap, caught the ball again and quickly attracted the pinch defense.
To be honest, the Lakers are used to Li Ke's outbursts. During the Christmas game in the regular season, Li Ke broke out once. In that game, they responded by double-teaming. This is just a reenactment of the Christmas game.
In the pinch, Li Ke swayed, jumped up from the spot, did not pass the ball, but threw another fadeaway jumper.
But with a bang, the iron hit.
Charlotte, in Boss Joe's apartment, not only Boss Joe and David Falk were sitting there, but also Rich Joe, Rod Higgins, and Tim Graver.
When the sound of iron strikes sounded, no one felt remorse or regret, and everyone showed a somewhat complicated smile.
Rod Higgins said softly: "In this game, Sheldon played very much like Michael, even playing like iron."
Boss Qiao frowned, showing a super embarrassing expression.
Los Angeles, Staples Center, Lakers grab the rebound.
Lao Yu controlled the ball across the half court and did not hand it over as soon as half court had passed as in previous rounds.
Obviously, the Lakers' tactics have changed since this round.
Kobe stopped playing, and after making 4 of 0 shots, he really needed to adjust.
On the sidelines, Zen Master sat firmly on Mount Tai as always, but there was a gap between the anxious Kurt Rambis and Zen Master.
Zen master knew how important this game was to Kobe, and he also knew that Kobe would adjust sooner or later, so from the beginning to the end, he was not impatient and gave Kobe enough freedom.
This may be the reason why the Zen master can get along so harmoniously with so many superstars.
The Lakers adjusted, and the old fish didn't hand over the ball as soon as halftime passed, but controlled it for a while, and then handed the ball to Odom.
Odom has the ball, finds Jay, and sets a big pick-and-roll.
The Bobcats' defense is very straightforward, and they switch defenses directly.
Then, Odom controlled the ball and took two steps in. Without the help of defense, he made a mid-range shot himself.
Bang-dang-!
"The Lakers' offense still hasn't opened up. They have to let Gasol go to the low post. It's not a problem to play outside."
Yang Wu, Director Zhang suddenly gave the Lakers an idea.
Giving advice to the one behind is a common way for commentators.
But the problem is, the Bobcats in this game should be the absolute home team on the other side of the ocean!
Director Zhang suddenly missed the Lakers, which is a bit strange.
Yu Jia glanced at Director Zhang, but Director Zhang turned a blind eye.
On the court, Chris Humphries, who returned to the basket, grabbed the rebound and the ball changed hands.
Lao Ai received the ball in the backcourt, and seeing that he had no chance to counterattack, he slowed down.
When he reached the front court, he handed the ball to Li Ke again with resentment.
Lao Ai really wanted to say that he also wanted to have a one-on-one match with Kobe.
But now, Li Ke is gaining momentum, and the game is when the Bobcats take advantage of Li Ke's momentum to expand their lead. The ball can only be passed to Li Ke.
In this way, after halftime, Li Ke caught the ball again.
Faced with Kobe's entanglement, Li Ke also called a pick-and-roll.
"Humphries' pick-and-roll, Li Ke went in, and the Lakers double-teamed directly!"
Facing the flanking attack, Li Ke still jumped up, but this time he passed the ball.
"The ball was passed, passed to the left, and Iverson just rushed to this position, received the ball, and took a European step."
Swish!
With the sound of scraping the net, Lao Ai finally scored a goal. He came out from the basket and stretched out his right hand towards Li Ke.
With a snap, the two clapped their hands together.
It's 10 to 2. It's a very smooth start.
The Lakers kicked off in the backcourt, and the old fish controlled the ball for half court.
In the frontcourt, Lao Yu still didn't hand over the ball. He controlled it for a while, found an opportunity, and passed the ball into the inside.
In the low position, Jiasao has already sat Humphries.
"Pau Gasol catches the ball in the low post, turns around, hooks, and the ball goes in!"
Director Zhang was a little excited. With a loud voice, he turned to Yu Jia who was beside him and said, "Let me just say, the Lakers should have let Gasol go low!"
The low-post Jia Sao got his fourth point.
Immediately afterwards, the Bobcats' offense was still Li Ke, who caught the ball and made a breakthrough, attracting a pinch attack.
Breaking through the ball, he directly found Dai Quinn Cook, who was open on the wing.
Cook raised his hand and shot, swish!
"13 to 4, the Bobcats continue to expand their lead!"
The Zen master continued to sit firmly on Mount Tai, but Kurt Rambis was in a hurry, standing on the sidelines and shouting: "Turn faster!"
For the Lakers' offense, they found Jiasao in the low position at the basket.
Chris Humphries' defense only resisted for a while, and then he was defeated by Jia Sao with a turn.
"This basket is really unstoppable!"
On the sidelines, Sam Vincent sighed with emotion.
Xiao Gouba suddenly asked: "Why don't Sheldon switch to Pau Gasol?"
"Are you crazy?" Sam Vincent stared, "Sheldon went to the basket, what about Kobe?"
Xiao Gouba nodded: "Yes, Kobe is the more important one."
On the court, with the Bobcats attacking, Lao Ai controlled the ball for half court, and finally stopped handing the ball over half court.
Because Li Ke rushed to the top of the arc and hit a Li Ai pick-and-roll.
The Lakers' defensive focus was completely on Li Ke, so after the pick-and-roll, the old Ai Yang walked away, broke into the basket, and made another throw.
"15 to 6, the Bobcats maintained a 9-point lead, Iverson scored 4 points in a row, and Dai Quinn Cook also made a three-pointer, which means that the Bobcats' offense is fully opened."
Although Li Ke's explosion was contained by the Lakers' double-teaming, his distribution of the ball drove his teammates.
On the Lakers side, Jiasao also opened a gap, but the Bobcats were straightforward and let Humphries defend Jiasao alone without flanking.
In this match, it became a fight between Mrs. Jia and the generals of the Bobcats.
Of course Kobe couldn't see it, he stood up in the middle and hit a few shots.
Li Ke's defensive strategy is murderous. If he can defend it, he will defend it cleanly, and if he can't defend it, he will foul it simply.
As a result, Li Ke paid for two fouls.
Although Kobe was sent to the free throw line twice, he made 4 of 3 free throws and missed one.
But in the first quarter of the game, Kobe's shooting turned into an extremely bad 6 of 0 shots, and he scored 3 points with free throws.
"The first quarter of the game is over, a very unexpected result, the Bobcats actually achieved an 8-point lead without Shaquille O'Neal and Gerald Wallace.",
30 to 22, the Bobcats lead is very solid.
"Kobe's performance was terrible. In the first quarter, he took 6 shots and missed them. He only relied on free throws to score 3 points. Li Ke's defense was perfect. Of course, on the offensive end, he also completed an unexpected explosion. On both ends of the offense and defense, he beat Kobe..."
Yang Wu, Yu Jia analyzed this section of the game at length, his words are equivalent to handing the blame to Kobe.
Director Zhang seemed to be silent, and only let out two dry laughs, saying: "Look at the remaining three quarters of the game, the Lakers still have a chance."
At this time, on the other side of the ocean, in front of the TV, many fans have already reacted and realized that Director Zhang is a fan.
"Zhang guides the Lakers fans!"
"And there is a high probability that they are Kobe fans."
"It's pretty good. Keshen's performance is great. Director Zhang's reaction now is very effective for the show."
"..."
TNT TV station, compared with the somewhat weird atmosphere on Yangwu, McBrin, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith are much more real.
"A surprising first quarter, who would have thought that the Bobcats would be able to take the lead in the first quarter without two generals?"
McBrin asked back, and Barkley said straight away: "Selton's performance was too good. In the first quarter, he scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. On the defensive end, Kobe Bryant made 6 of 0 shots. Both offense and defense are excellent. With his own strength, he withstood the impact of the Lakers!"
Kenny Smith raised Kobe's question: "Kobe's state needs to be adjusted. Fortunately, Pau Gasol has performed well. With the Lakers, he has temporarily maintained the situation and will not collapse directly."
In the second quarter of the game, Kobe's adjustment came.
"Kobe, make another shot against Sheldon's defense!"
Bang!
"Didn't score. At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe used the triangle offense to start his singles, but so far, he hasn't scored yet!"
In the two consecutive irons at the beginning of the second quarter, the Bobcats further widened the gap in the score. Now, they are leading by double digits.
But Kobe didn't stop his pace. After two consecutive irons, he continued to play singles, and even made a very simple and direct fadeaway jumper. With a bang, it was a triple iron...
The situation was about to collapse, and Kobe continued.
The fourth shot, a throw near the frame, swish!Kobe finally scored!
He felt that he had found the touch, but in the next round, facing Li Ke's defense, Kobe's turnaround jumper hit the frame again.
In this way, in the second quarter, Kobe tried to take over the game, but under Li Ke's tough defense, he completely failed.
"58 to 43, leading by 15 points, the game has almost collapsed."
With a 15-point lead at halftime, maybe the Lakers still have a chance.
But look at Kobe's statistics. He made 14 of 2 shots in the half, plus free throws, and scored 10 points.
"Kobe's completely locked out, he's in terrible shape."
Although the state is bad, he just wants to shoot.
The same is true in the second half. In the third quarter, Kobe shot a 6-of-2 shot and accelerated the Lakers' loss.
At the end of the three quarters, Kobe made 20 of 4 shots and the Bobcats took a 85-point lead with a score of 65 to 20.
The Zen master raised his hands and surrendered without much hesitation.
In the fourth quarter, sitting on the bench and looking at the technical statistics, Li Ke shook his head and laughed. He thought of Kobe's famous saying:
"I'd rather go 30-for-0 than go-for-9."
Kind of like: "I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh in the back of a bike."
This sentence is a manifestation of this game.
I have to say that without Kobe's crazy shots in the second and third quarters, this game would not have gone so fast.
At least, under the leadership of Jia Sao, the Lakers have found a way to stabilize the situation.
But this method was directly abandoned in Kobe's endless cycle of singles and blacksmithing.
"This game reminded me of the Christmas game. It was also Sheldon's superb performance. Although Kobe performed well, he was far inferior to Sheldon, and even had a few rounds at the last moment."
"If the result of this game is surprising, the reason is the gap between Sheldon and Kobe."
"..."
TNT TV station, the commentary trio is merciless.
And when the garbage time in the fourth quarter ran out, the game ended.
Barkley shouted: "It's over, this unexpected first game of the finals is over!"
"No one could have imagined that the Bobcats could win the first game!" Kenny Smith shook his head, but soon, he was corrected by Barkley.
"No, it's not that no one thought that the Bobcats could win the first game, but everyone believed that the Lakers would definitely win the first game of the Finals!"
“谢尔顿却用一个三节33分7个篮板9个助攻2个抢断2个盖帽的数据，改变了原本已经定下的结局！”
"Change fate against the sky!"
"That's right, it's changing your fate against the sky!"
