Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

This is the home court of the Hornets.

Kobe looked at the fans who had been roaring hysterically all night, and couldn't help but think back to the fans in Los Angeles. In terms of loyalty, although Los Angeles is a wealthy team, those fans are definitely not as enthusiastic as the fans here.

Kobe glanced at Lian Feng on the other side and felt a little emotional.

It must be very enjoyable for him to play in such an atmosphere!

Kobe recalled the scene when Lian Feng faced him for the first time when he was with the 76ers. He really didn't expect that his talent would be realized so quickly and so completely!

In the entire first half, Kobe took 20 shots! Almost half of the team's shots, but the efficiency was worrying. This made him very dissatisfied with his performance.

Kobe has discovered that Lian Feng seems to have received guidance from an expert, and he has great experience in defending the back, and he can master the timing of confrontation and blocking shots with ease.

But Kobe said silently in his heart that back attack is only one of my abilities.

After the start of the third quarter, Kobe and Lian Feng stood on the court again.

Lian Feng was not surprised by this. Neither of them rested for even a minute in the first two quarters.

It is not surprising that he played for 48 minutes. Because he exchanged the back-up killer skill, his physical strength threshold has increased a bit, so Lian Feng feels that his physical strength is still sufficient at this time. Although Kobe is a physical monster, he is quite

Compared to myself, I'm afraid I no longer have any advantage in real physical strength.

Kobe and himself can only compete with each other in terms of willpower.

As soon as the third quarter started, Lian Feng found that his teammates were no longer so nervous. They had fully adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs.

Because Tyson Chandler spent too much energy in the first half to protect rebounds and support the team's defensive system. Adelman actually replaced him with Gasol at the beginning of the critical third quarter.

Lian Feng didn't feel inappropriate about this.

Lian Feng believes that Gasol's progress is obvious and he is now a qualified starting center. The only difference between him and Tyson Chandler is that one is better at defense and the other is better at offense.

Obviously, Adelman realized that he was at a disadvantage when playing defense, so he might as well strengthen his offense and wait for the Lakers to make mistakes.

Therefore, in addition to Gasol, Korver, whose defensive ability is about the same as that of a colander, also played.

Adelman's strategy quickly proved correct.

Gasol continues to move up to high positions to interpret the Hornets system, executing their tactics like a textbook.

Lian Feng is quite satisfied with this, and his ability without the ball can be maximized.

Every time he made an air cut, Gasol's ball would always be passed to him at the right time.

It's as if Gasol has a precise positioning radar installed on his body and is receiving feedback from his movements at any time.

What's more, what makes Lian Feng feel even more comfortable is that because Gasol and David West are playing in the high post, the Lakers' inside line has become empty.

How dare the Lakers' inside men not follow suit? They did so at first, and then David West and Gasol just shot indiscriminately.

And more space means more opportunities.

On the other side, the Lakers still use the traditional and classic triangle tactics.

Of course, it is not used in every round, because Kobe will still find opportunities to cruise in the mid-range. His singles ability always makes people ignore his off-ball ability. But the Lakers players all know that Kobe’s ability is also important.

Top notch.

But more of the Lakers' scoring comes from Gasol and Bynum's low-post scoring.

Adelman couldn't help but smile off the court. It was an interesting game. This game became the Los Angeles post team vs. the New Orleans shooting team.

But something unexpected happened suddenly.

Lian Feng is competing with Kobe in the low post. Lian Feng knows that Kobe needs to compete in the low post to be more effective.

Lian Feng felt that Kobe was like a tough piece of candy, constantly tearing at his physical strength. Lian Feng liked to compete with Kobe like this. He would not admit defeat, nor would he admit defeat. Sometimes he would even compete for that position more successfully than he would hit a ball.

It brings even more satisfaction.

Just as he was struggling with Kobe, he suddenly heard an angry roar coming from the penalty area behind him.

"Go away!"

Afterwards, other players temporarily stopped their actions, so Lian Feng also turned his attention.

Kobe was stunned and looked over.

Then the next moment, they all saw an unexpected scene.

Gasol hit Bynum directly in the face with his fist.

After reacting, Bynum was furious and yelled to fight back, but was hugged by Gasol next to him.

One is his younger brother and the other is a core teammate. Gasol must stop this struggle.

Lian Feng also hurried over and stopped the fight.

Although Bynum was still roaring angrily, he could no longer make a fuss about the matter in the crowd. Kobe Odom and others were holding him tightly.

Gasol then went over to comfort his brother.

"Listen to me, don't be so impulsive! This is the competition field, this is the Western Conference Finals! Calm down!"

Looking at his brother, Gasol complained unceremoniously: "Your teammates' actions are really dirty. The word "clean" may have been scratched out of his dictionary! Believe me, he will definitely receive retribution.

."

This farce ended with Gasol being ejected and Bynum receiving a technical foul.

Without Gasol, the situation suddenly became less than pleasant for the Hornets.

There was nothing Lian Feng could do about it.

In fact, he also hated Bynum. But he also understood that he couldn't do anything extraordinary at this time. When Gasol left the game, Lian Feng saw the chagrin and depression on the big man's face.

There is both guilt for the team and dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty.

Lian Feng patted Gasol on the shoulder and comforted him: "Listen, man, it doesn't matter. We will win this game."

When the incident was over and the game resumed, Lian Feng looked up at the scoreboard, which read 77 to 74. The Hornets led by 3 points.

Lian Feng held his breath and prepared to teach the Lakers a lesson in the next game, but what he didn't expect was that Paul exploded without warning.

Paul sent consecutive no-look passes to assist Tyson Chandler, who returned to play, and the latter easily scored over Bynum.

Lian Feng's anger was extinguished a lot.

This is what a strong team should look like. Gasol was elbowed by Bynum and was ejected. This ignited the anger of the home players, and everyone wanted to avenge Gasol.

With about four minutes left in the game, Tyson Chandler made what may be the most memorable goal of his basketball career.

He received the pass in the penalty area, jumped up, and prepared to dunk. At this time, Bynum came over and knocked the ball out of his hands.

But the basketball did not fly out. Tyson Chandler roared, jumped again, and caught the basketball again. By this time, Bynum was unable to follow up——

Then, everyone heard a roar.

Tyson Chandler dunked on Bynum, it was so simple and violent that it made people's blood boil.

When the game was over, the limelight of this dunk even overshadowed Lien Feng's 28 points in the game.

In the end, the Hornets won the game 98-91 with the starting players shooting 71%!
