NBA: Talent exploded at the start

Paul’s dunk, although not as gorgeous as Griffin and Lin Lei and others, and powerful, has a different kind of ethereal.

Don’t look at the fact that he rarely uses dunks to complete points, but it doesn’t mean that Chris Paul won’t dunk.

Not long after Chris Paul entered the league, he completed the partition of Warcraft Howard!

Paul was drafted by the Hornets in ’05, and in the first year he beat Delon Williams and others to win the best rookie.

In the 07-08 season, Chris Paul averaged 21:1 points and 11.6 assists per game, which once made him a favorite for MVP.

That season, when Paul was still with the Hornets against Howard of the Magic, he hit the basket to meet Howard’s defense, jumped with all his strength to complete the dunk, and this dunk also became one of the top ten shots at the time.

In recent years, as Paul’s playing style has gradually matured, coupled with his age, Paul rarely uses dunks to score, and this cold brother dunk also instantly detonated the whole game.

After Paul jumped from the basket, he looked at his teammates, and instead of celebrating, he roared, “Are you all asleep?” Space City lets a guard complete the dunk! ”

Jordan Jr., Griffin and the others who came up also looked at each other when they heard this, but soon lowered their heads in shame.

His roar seemed to be complaining about his teammates, but it was actually motivating Griffin and others.

After all, a guard in his early 1.8 meters can face the other party to complete the dunk, play such an imposing attack, Griffin and others are so physically strong, why is it pressed and beaten by others?

The reason is that they lost their fighting spirit because they were beaten by Lin Lei and Kobe.

As Paul’s words fell, Griffin and the others also rekindled their anger.

At this moment, the entire audience can clearly feel that their temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes compared to just now.

In the next offense of the Lakers, Odom, who received a pass from a teammate, was just about to finish scoring under the basket when he was severely covered by Griffin’s big hat on the spot.

Artest, who is known for his defense, was also dangled by Paul and easily completed a layup.

With less than six minutes left until the end of the fourth quarter, the Clippers have gone from trailing by 14 points since Paul and others came on the court, trailing by just five points.

All this is too fast, and it also shows that the NBA is worthy of being the top league, and the strength of players cannot be underestimated, and once the momentum is up, it is not impossible to chase more than a dozen points in a short period of time.

Otherwise, there would not have been the 35 seconds and 13 minutes of the year …

With the Clippers gaining momentum, Kobe Bryant couldn’t sit still.

As a five-time championship winner and Finals mVP, Kobe Bryant’s desire to win far exceeds Paul’s, and he will never allow the team to easily fail while leading.

So Bryant took the initiative to get up and come to Phil Jackson, and asked: “Coach, let me play!” ”

Who knew that Phil Jackson was not in a hurry, but looked at the players on the field and clapped his hands: “Are you all asleep?”

Give me a run, if this game is lost, all these players on the field will give me more training until dawn! ”

Phil Jackson’s words were immediate, and as a champion coach, everyone knew what it would be like once he launched a temper.

Back then, even Rodman’s stunned face of Phil Jackson, he had to be obedient, and his coaching methods can be seen.

Soon, the championship status of the Lakers was taken out, and the score was stalemated at about 5 points, and there was no tendency to be widened.

Seeing that there were less than two minutes left in the game, Paul was also anxious, he directly killed near the three-point line, and once again raised his hand to shoot.

However, this time the three-point did not hit, but bounced the basket…

Just as Gasol and the others were about to fight for the rebound, Griffin took off into the air and completed a dunk to meet their takeoff!

There is no way around this, after all, Griffin’s physical fitness is there, and this talent cannot be compensated for by acquired efforts.

The score came to 108:105, and the Clippers trailed by only 3 points!

When the score came to three points, the situation was no longer as easy as before, and the Lakers crowd seemed a little nervous.

Seeing this picture, Phil Jackson took the initiative to call a pause.

When Artest and the others on the field came down, their faces were also very apprehensive, for fear that Phil Jackson would be angry with them, after all, the score was lost in their hands.

And it has been said before, once the Clippers recover the score in this game, or even if they lose and practice all night, it makes people feel big-headed.

Who knew that in the midst of everyone’s apprehension, Phil Jackson not only did not get angry, but smiled and patted the players who came down from the field and encouraged:

“Let’s all rest, you guys are doing well!”

Several players never expected that Phil Jackson would suddenly change his attitude, and they also looked at each other one by one, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in this old coach’s gourd.

However, Lin Lei and Kobe, who have been observing the situation on the court, are well aware of Phil Jackson’s thoughts.

How many pounds and taels the players under his hand, as a coach, Phil Jackson naturally knows very well.

What he wanted was not to blow up the combination of Paul and Griffin, which was also unrealistic.

The reason why Phil Jackson said that is nothing more than to arouse the fighting spirit of the players on the field, so that they can do their best and bring out the best in their condition.

Through this half-section of the competition, Artest and others also gradually got rid of their dependence on Lin Lei and Kobe, which is exactly what Phil Jackson wants.

But seeing that only three points ahead, Phil Jackson naturally does not dare to drag out, he knows very well that the momentum of the Clippers has risen, in this time period three-point lead is nothing at all, a little careless, the Clippers can play 10:0 out, then it will be too difficult to catch back.

Sure enough, after everyone took a break, Phil Jackson arranged two more tactics, and finally set his sights on Lin Lei and Kobe:

“Lin Lei, Kobe, you guys go on the field and take three minutes to close this game!”

“Yes!”

Good coach!

Lin Lei and Kobe Bryant agreed in unison when they heard this, they had long been impatient and ready to come on the field to accept this victory in the same city derby.

After the timeout ended, as Lin Lei and Kobe appeared together on the Lakers’ side, the momentum of the Clippers’ new rise also cast a shadow.

Especially after seeing Lin Lei, Griffin, who was originally on his toes, instantly became dumbfounded.

Through the previous two quarters of the game, Lin Lei has long left a deep psychological shadow on this original champion.

And the other core of the Clippers, Chris Paul, is also not good-looking, looking at Lin Lei with a trace of resentment in his eyes.

After all, in the usual competition, he made a small trip to others, how could he suffer such a loss?

Don’t look at the Clippers side of the strict formation, Lin Lei and Kobe are very relaxed, and before preparing to serve, Kobe Bryant also specially came to Lin Lei’s side and whispered:

“Try not to kill inside, their inside line is stronger, on the contrary, the outside line is very weak, you can try to find a breakthrough point from the outside.”

As the first person in the league, Kobe Bryant is very keen to see problems.

He saw the current defensive weakness of the Clippers at a glance and provided professional guidance for Lin Lei.

“Nope!”

What Kobe observed was naturally seen by Lin Lei for a long time, but he did not agree, but shook his head with a smile.

Lin Lei looked at Griffin in front of him and said coldly: “I want to ride him!” ”
