The Basketball Court Swordsman
Chapter 148: : Special pause
Stephenson's three-pointer at the buzzer in front of midfield was replayed over and over again by eSPN TV. Of course, on the big screen of the Conseco Arena, this wonderful picture is played back again and again.
Stephenson's three-pointer at the buzzer is beautiful enough, not to mention that he broke through the three-pointer made by Kobe!
Throughout the intermission, Darius Morris was nervous. He knew very well that Stephenson would not have made that three-pointer unless he was indecisive and failed to make up for the last goal.
Kobe gritted his teeth, so Morris didn't even dare to look at him. Originally eager to widen the points difference, it ended in an equalized ending. It is known how many MMP words in Kobe's heart did not say at this time.
"It's only half of the game. Don't be bluffed by that three-pointer at the buzzer! In the second half, everyone keeps up. As long as we continue to fight like this, we will definitely be able to make it to the end!" Mike Brown doesn't seem to have too many variables, the fact is The work of Mike Brown on the Lakers has not been smooth.
Not long after he became the Lakers coach, Mike Brown was told that Odom was traded. When he learned the news, the Odom people had already arrived in Dallas.
For a head coach, suddenly being told that the team's best sixth man of last season was traded without knowing it, you can think about it.
Therefore, not all head coaches are as lucky as Henson, and can even handle the team's transactions in person.
Mike Brown's work didn't get much support from the Lakers. He only played the game with a lineup he was unfamiliar with and not good at.
Triangle offense? Non-existent, the departure of Brian Shaw and "Zen Master" made the triangle offense completely bid farewell to Los Angeles. Mike Brown is now relying more on the personal abilities of Kobe and the Champions Twin Towers on the offensive end than on superb tactics.
Relying on personal ability, at the level of Kobe, Gasol and Bynum, regular time is indeed reliable. But critical moments, such as those two minutes ago, may not work well...
After the start of the second half, Jaylen Rose's words became much less. At the end of the half game, Henson's remarks undoubtedly hit Jaylen Rose. This guy knows very well that he shouldn't beep too much now. Otherwise, it will end up with Barkley.
In the third quarter, the two sides still played fiercely. Mike Brown increased the offensive weight of the inside twin towers. Bynum's destructive power and Gasol's flexibility brought great trouble to the Pacers' defense.
Compared with the Pacers’ dominant outside defense chain, the Pacers’ inside defense is not bad, but it is still far from the word “dominant”.
Bynum played well with Gasol, Bynum's one-handed dunk, Gasol's pass behind his head, all tortured Henson's nerves. The Lakers regained their lead 69-65 after a bombardment in the paint.
It wasn't until Henson changed into the "Birdman" that the defensive situation of the inside line improved slightly. Of course, it only improved slightly. After all, Anderson is not a super center, it is difficult for him to contain the championship twin towers by himself.
Subsequently, Paul's three-pointer helped the Pacers to bite the score, West's low singles succeeded and the two sides drew 73.
After that, the Lakers and Pacers went through the third quarter in alternate leads. At a critical moment, the Lakers still relied on a buzzer from Kobe to take a 78-71 lead into the final quarter.
Seeing Kobe return a three-pointer at the buzzer so quickly, Henson was really out of temper. Kobe is like that. Once he gets angry, he can do anything.
On the Lakers side, the individual offenses of Kobe, Bynum and Gasol made the Pacers hard to defend, and the Lakers have no good way to deal with the Pacers' integrity. What's more, Paul's ability to control the field can maximize the overall advantages of the Pacers.
In the absence of Paul George and the Lakers playing so inextricably, the Pacers have shown their deep enough lineup configuration.
But showing is not enough, what Henson needs is victory! After finally getting an artifact that can accumulate experience after winning, how can you fall into the panic of winning! ?
So in the fourth quarter, the competition between the two sides became fierce. Gasol's high position assisted Barnes with a fly buckle, and Troy Murphy returned a three-pointer to his old club.
On the Pacers' side, Paul flew the "Old Fish" mid-range to score points. Horford's three-pointer made Bynum, who was accustomed to shrinking the basket, extremely uncomfortable.
The game was played until the last 35 seconds, the Pacers had the ball, and they were two points behind the Lakers.
On the court, Paul made a beautiful breakthrough and assisted West to make a key layup. The most terrible thing is that Gasol also had a foul on his back, West has to be punished!
West's steady low scoring is the reason why the Pacers did not completely collapse inside. On the free throw line, West steadily hit the ball and scored his 17th point in the game.
Subsequently, Mike Brown paused. There is no doubt that he needs to deploy a key ball tactic.
"Jimmy, Jimmy! Go, go on the court, just like what you did in the second quarter, to contain Kobe!" Henson immediately replaced and replaced the exhausted Green with Butler. This is the last chance for the Lakers to attack, so you must guard it anyway!
Due to the fierce competition, Henson has no timeout at this time. Therefore, this is also his last chance to substitute. At this time, you must not change the wrong person!
Mike Brown really couldn't grasp the Lakers' offense. He originally wanted Gasol to hold the ball in a high post. Bryant ran out of the gap without the ball and received the ball.
But the reality is that Gasol was entangled by West so that he could not run out of the receiving space. Mike Brown's idea was too ideal. Many of his tactics are not in line with the areas where the Lakers are good at. You let Gasol run open to catch the sideline ball, it's not funny.
In the end, Barnes had to send the ball directly to Kobe. Kobe has scored 30 points today, including a three-pointer at the buzzer at the end of the third quarter. Therefore, the "Black Mamba" is undoubtedly very dangerous today. This is why Henson needs Jimmy Butler to play again.
The tired Green is already a bit unable to move his legs, and against a super scorer like Kobe, even a second is fatal.
After Kobe catches the ball, he easily throws off Paul with a screen. But soon, the energetic Butler made up for it. This made Henson extremely gratified. Butler played twice today, both of which worked!
In the face of the tough Butler, Kobe didn't stop the ball, but took a horizontal dribble and smoothly shot!
In the end, under the defense of Butler's fingertips, Kobe's drifting three-pointers were still hollowed out!
"Lore! Lore! This is undoubtedly a lore! God, the great Kobe Bryant, the great Black Mamba! After hitting a 3-pointer at the buzzer in the third quarter, there are 12 seconds left in the game. At the end of the situation, when the Pacers have no timeout, Kobe Bryant, this cold-blooded killer undoubtedly killed the game again!" Mike Brin was shaking all over, this is Kobe, this is a grudge The black mamba viper!
After scoring the goal, Bryant made a "shh" action at Stephenson on the Pacers bench. You hit the buzzer three-pointer on my head, it was a mistake from the beginning!
Although Kobe is provoking Stephenson, but at this time Henson is more uncomfortable than Stephenson. Persevering for a whole game, you can't be killed by Kobe. Although Henson also liked Kobe's lore when he was a fan before, but this kind of thing fell on his head, it was difficult to accept.
But now there was no time-out, and the powerless feeling of being unable to control the game spread instantly throughout his body. No, there are still 12 seconds, we must find a way to arrange a tactic, there is still a chance!
Thinking of this, Henson suddenly took a glass of water and stood on the sidelines, just as Paul cast his eyes. Henson could only pray that Paul was smart enough.
"Bump me!" Henson didn't dare to speak, only using his lips.
Paul shook his head pretending to be annoyed when he saw it, and then ran to the backcourt, as if he was going to catch the baseline. Henson was holding his Gatorade and wandering around the sidelines casually.
As a result, the "accident" happened.
Paul, who returned to the backcourt along the sideline, did not notice the coach who was walking on the sidelines, so the two collided face to face! Suddenly, the drink spilled all over the floor, and Paul overwhelmed Henson. The scene was chaotic.
"What's the matter? Coach Henson was knocked down by a player?" Jaylen Rose craned his neck, "It seems that Kobe's lore made Coach Henson a **** mold, hahahahaha, by his own player. Knocked down, laughed to death!"
Mike Brin did not comment. Is it really that simple?
"Referee, ask someone to come over and wipe the water! Damn, who can help your coach!" Vogel fanned the flames and the Pacers players immediately surrounded the fallen Henson and worked. The personnel immediately went up to wipe the floor, the scene was chaotic, and the game had to be terminated.
So Henson lay on the wooden floor and arranged a lore ball tactic under Paul! Of course, this is not a timeout, just an accident!
There is no tactical board, only verbal expressions. Henson got up and took off his drenched suit, pretending to curse. In fact, he was praying in his heart that Paul could understand his arrangement and put it into practice.
After the unexpected end, the game restarted. The Lakers used the full court to press the defense, not allowing Paul to easily receive the ball, and not allowing the Pacers to easily pass halftime.
However, the interspersed running of Paul and Leonard eventually delayed the Lakers' defense. Paul successfully won the basketball and started running toward the frontcourt!
Kobe defended Paul very hard, but he was very cautious. He didn't dare to foul at this time! Although Paul couldn't advance at full speed, he didn't lose the ball because of pressing, and he had enough time for 12 seconds.
After Paul killed the midfield line, Leonard immediately cut to the inside, Horford and West both opened. Mike Brin found that something was wrong. Without tactical arrangements, how could the Pacers play so neatly!
Seeing Paul staring behind him, Kobe knew he was going to pass! Maybe Fischer missed Butler, or Barnes missed Leonard! If the ball is successfully passed, it will fall short!
Just as Kobe was about to block Paul's pass, Paul on the move suddenly made a throw!
Kobe couldn't react at all. When he took off and interfered, the basketball had already reached the highest point! "Black Mamba" can only watch the basketball over his fingertips and fall back into the basket!
"brush!"
"Beep~~~~"
The tumbling sound of the Nets and the electronic buzzer that represented the end of the game sounded at the same time. Kobe's head was still a bit dazed. To be precise, the entire Lakers were dazed. what's the situation? We obviously killed the game just now!
At this time, Kobe saw Henson Joe, who was still cursing just now, but now madly raised his arms and rushed into the court.
"Mongrel!" Bryant cursed secretly, as if he understood everything.
