NBA: No. 1 Forward
Chapter 338: The Final Moment
Jackson glanced at Bynum, who was disappointing, and Odom, who was not in a good state in this game, and then looked at Kobe and Gasol.
In the end, these two people are the most reassuring.
"Kobe, there are still two minutes left in the game. I will give you these two minutes. Paul, you should cover Kobe more on the outside and look for opportunities at the basket. It is estimated that in the last two minutes, Mike should let Germany Get Marcus on, and if you can, foul him out."
Jackson's arrangement is not too complicated. In the final stage of the game, it basically depends on the performance of the core players. If the tactics work, the Lakers will not fall behind. The tactics that can be used are basically used before three and a half quarters.
In the fourth quarter, at the last moment, nothing else, what can be fought now is the hard power of the players.
At critical moments, a team with an offensive core is more likely to win the game than a team without an offensive core. It’s like the Suns. They obviously feel that their team’s strength is not bad, but they lack an offensive core. It will make their offense always look like a mess, and no one can really stand up at critical moments to reverse the situation or reap the game.
After that, Phil Jackson handed over the time to Kobe, and Kobe also took over the tactical board, explaining the next position and how to cooperate tactically to help him open up space.
And the Zen master was watching by the old god.
All he had to do was support and caress the goatee, while smiling with his hands behind his back, muttering: "You really can teach a child!"
This is Phil Jackson's coaching style, he always used to let the players solve problems by themselves.
On the other side, D'Antoni also knew that the Lakers would definitely launch a Jedi counterattack at the last moment. The Knicks only led by 5 points.
And D'Antoni also knew that the Lakers' final offense would only be Kobe Bryant. Originally, he planned to replace Gallinari with Tony Allen, which could strengthen the defense against Kobe and release Lian Dao's defensive pressure to a certain extent. Put more energy into the offensive end.
However, Gallinari played really well in this game, shooting 57.8% from the field, and has scored 28 points and 4 rebounds so far.
If Gallinari is replaced at this time, the Knicks will lack a crucial offensive firepower outside, and the Lakers will inevitably concentrate all their defenses on Lian Dao.
After struggling for a while, he still decided not to replace Gallinari,
D'Antoni still believes in solving problems with offense.
The game restarted, the Lakers took the lead, Kobe has scored 28 points and 10 assists today, and most of these assists came from Gasol.
Although he still believed in his teammates in this game, at the last moment, Kobe will definitely hold the key to life and death in his own hands.
Lian Dao put on a full-court press, tightly entangled around Kobe, preventing him from having the slightest space to catch the ball.
No matter how Kobe got rid of it, Lian Dao was entwined around him like a shadow.
Kobe kept using backrunning to gain space to receive the ball, until Odom gave Kobe an off-ball screen at halftime, which gave Kobe a short chance to receive the ball.
Here Kobe has just received the ball and hasn't adjusted well yet, while Lian Dao has squeezed away Odom and came to Kobe's side.
Like lightning, his hand pointed toward the basketball on Kobe's waist!
The unsteady basketball was captured in an instant. Kobe hurried to pick it up, but Lian Dao pounced on him. Then he swung his long arm and hit the ball towards Gallinari.
"Kobe was intercepted at a critical moment!" Kevin Harlan was full of disbelief.
Unfortunately, during the fast break, Gallinari was double-teamed by the fast-moving Artest and Odom. Gallinari's shot was taken by Odom. And the defensive action is also very rough!
In fact, this already constituted a foul, but this is the home court of the Lakers, and at the end of the game, the referee also unconsciously weakened his functions.
Gallinari argued with the referee to no avail, so he could only choose to return to defense.
However, it took some time between defense and attack.
The score remains the same, but the form is even more unfavorable for the Lakers.
"Our decisive battle is just beginning now!" Kobe panted heavily, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but the trash talk on this guy's mouth was still relentless.
The Lakers' second offense, as soon as Odom came up, he made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Kobe.
After Kobe received the pass, he was more vigilant this time, and Lian Dao didn't think about stealing again. The previous time was luck, but if he did it again, he would only lose his position defensively.
Here Gasol stepped forward again to set a high screen for Kobe.
Kobe took advantage of the brief opportunity to go inside, and Cousins switched defenses in time.
Kobe Bryant, turn back and catch a jumper!
When Cousins saw Kobe turning over for a jumper, he jumped up to block the shot.
"don't want!"
Lian Dao yelled loudly, but it was still a step too late. Kobe's turnaround jumper was a fake move. After he picked up Cousins, his body instantly leaned up and shot!
"Beep!"
"brush!"
Kobe scored 2+1!
"Kobe's 2+1 is really critical. Not only did he make the Knicks lose @starting center, if the free throw is scored, the Lakers will only be behind by 2 points!"
Cousins graduates with six offenses!
With a face full of helplessness, Cousins walked off the court shaking his head in disappointment.
D'Antoni had no choice but to replace Millsap. Rasheed Wallace played 15 minutes in this game, which is already the best playing time of this veteran.
D'Antoni only let Millsap do two things this time, pick and roll and defense!
Kobe made the free throw.
102:100!
Only 1 minute and 13 seconds left!
This time, Lian Dao started holding the ball from the backcourt, and Lian Dao dribbled the ball outside the three-point line. He wanted to consume as much offensive time as possible, so as not to leave too long offensive time for the Lakers.
There are 8 seconds left in the 24-second attack time. At this time, Stoudemire made an outside pick-and-roll, and Kobe squeezed past the defense. Then Millsap made another outside pick-and-roll. Lian Dao finally got rid of Kobe, accelerated his breakthrough, and took off near the free throw line.
Gasol and Odom flanked each other to block the shot, but Lian Dao still made a fadeaway jumper without hesitation!
"brush!"
2 points scored!
104:100
"Splendid!" Seeing the basketball scored, Lian Dao roared and waved his arm fiercely!
Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout, and he had to make the final deployment.
"Skle's ball is too tough. In 52 seconds, the Lakers must quickly score a three-pointer from the outside, and then defend the Knicks' next attack, so that they will have a chance to win the game."
"The Staples Center has never been short of miracles. Kobe has staged many lore moments in this venue full of honors. Today, let us see if there will be another classic moment in Staples! "
During the timeout, the Staples fans were also restless. Although Lian Dao's defense was very tough, the Lakers fans still believed that as long as Kobe was still on the court, the Lakers could create miracles in this game.
On the Knicks bench, D'Antoni threw away the small bench at this time, knelt on the ground with one knee, and took out the tactical board to write and draw.
"Tony, you get on the court, don't give the Lakers any chance, if the skle misses, you make it up immediately. Don't be so nervous guys, I know this is Los Angeles, but so what, we are going to take this on the home court of the defending champions. A game win!"
"victory!
"At this point in the game, everyone doesn't want to give up all their efforts, and defeating the defending champion has always been one of the goals of the Knicks!
The whistle blows and the timeout ends.
The players on both sides immediately became nervous.
Lian Dao walked up to Kobe and still defended him closely.
"Stop struggling, you will never be able to guard me!" Kobe was still spouting trash talk, although his mouth was moving, but all his attention was on the basketball.
"It is you who are dying, and we are still ahead!" Lian Dao shot back.
"Beep beep!" The referee whistled, and the final battle officially began.
Bryant used the screen to break the siege and received a pass from Gasol near the halfway line.
Lian Dao pressed forward immediately, but then Odom stepped forward to cover for Kobe, the purpose is to create space for Kobe to shoot.
Now, the Lakers must quickly hit a three-pointer. In this case, the shot is missed. As long as they protect the rebound or defend the Knicks' next offense, they will have other opportunities.
