The rest is just noise

Chapter 1327 The calf is also nervous

Both sides start

Lakers: Barros, Kobe, Wilson, Tragedy, Garnett.

Trail Blazers: Jordan, Russell, Chapman, (Clifford) Robinson, Olajuwon.

Looking at it alone, it can be said that it is a gathering of stars. There are seven players with All-Star resumes on the field, but the one that the audience discusses the most is Kobe.

There's no other reason than that it's unprecedented for a player of his age to start in the conference finals.

As the referee started to throw the ball into the air, Garnett jumped up vigorously and handed the ball to Barros, and Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals began.

As Barros was advancing, the tragedy master in the frontcourt came to give an on-the-spot command. He used his own space to contain Kobe as a bare-handed screen.

The high school students, whose tactical literacy was no longer what it was at the beginning of the season, naturally saw this as a good opportunity at a glance, so they passed directly by the tragedy master.

Russell, who didn't take Kobe seriously at all, was blocked by the wall and lost his defensive position.

Barros' pass hit like a precise cannonball.

Kobe received the ball from the left three-point line, and he got a big open space.

This is a player who won't hesitate when given an opportunity.

Kobe Bryant, who has not yet become the Black Mamba, can already attack as fast as the Black Mamba.

I saw Kobe taking a quick shot, but the ball went too far. If you stand behind Kobe, you can see that the arc of the ball is very straight, but the force of the shot is obviously excessive. The basketball did not hit the center point of the basket, but fell.

To the back edge of the right side of the basket.

The Blazers protected the rebound and immediately pushed forward.

Outside the three-point line in the frontcourt, Jordan received a pass from his teammate and took advantage of the Lakers' unsteady footing to hit a chasing three-pointer.

3 to 0

"Don't mind, Bean." Louis comforted Kobe.

Wilson, on the other hand, dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, play slowly!"

Later, the tragedy master rose to a high position.

People in Portland thought that the Lakers were going to play their signature high and low position in the paint, but they didn't expect that this was actually the starting point of "Beautiful Basketball."

However, it is not the "Meteor" tactic they are familiar with, but the "Eye of the Storm" tactic.

The moment the tragic player took the ball in the high post, Barros moved towards his position.

This trend made the Blazers believe that the Lakers planned to use the tragedy maker's instigating ability to do something.

Robinson's attention was attracted. At this moment, the tragic player suddenly turned to face the basket and rushed to the basket with the ball.

Robinson, who was ready to switch defense, didn't expect this move and was suddenly caught.

Before the Blazers' lineup had time to react, the tragedy maker hit the board with a floater.

2 to 3

Louis was not worried about the Tragedian's attack.

What he is afraid of is that the Tragedy Division's defense will give the Blazers too many opportunities.

With the current situation of the Tragedy Master, if he has the physical strength, he can still play at a superstar level on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, his physical strength is irrelevant.

Soon, the tragedy master's defense forced his teammates to allocate more resources to take care of him.

As a result, the Trail Blazers had a rare big gap on the perimeter.

Rex Chapman caught the ball at the left three-point line. Just as he was about to take a shot, a slightly thin figure came galloping towards him.

Chapman was not prepared for this, he just wanted to complete the shot with the best rhythm.

This made his shot a beat or two slower than his usual catch-and-shoot shot.

It was the delay of these few shots that created an opportunity for the desperate defender.

Chapman's body rose and the ball was released, thinking that everything was going to be fine, but soon, an arm invaded his sight, and then severely blocked the ball before it could fly into the sky.

"Oh! It's Kobe! Kobe blocked Rex Chapman!"

The catch was that Kobe was so excited that he blocked the ball out of bounds.

The ball is still in the hands of the Trail Blazers.

However, they did not have much time left to attack.

Afterwards, Jordan missed a single with the ball, and the rebound was protected by Garnett.

Kobe's defense just now was amazing. Only under one situation could he successfully defend at the top of the arc.

Chapman slowed down his shooting rhythm in order to meet the standard, and Kobe made the correct judgment from the moment the tragedy occurred in the defense - pounce on Chapman.

Was this a coincidence, or did he really make the right decision?

Louis asked Alex Stevens about it: "That's what you said, can Kobe bring more surprises on the defensive end?"

Even Stevens wasn't sure whether Kobe's move just now was planned or just a pleasant surprise.

Due to Kobe's erratic performance in his rookie season, Stevens did not dare to give him a vote on the spot. He said calmly: "We have to observe it for a while."

Louis saw Stevens' concerns about Kobe, so he smiled and said, "You're right."

Next, Wilson and the tragedy master demonstrated the most terrifying practical effect of the "Eye of the Storm".

When the person standing in the eye position changed from Tragedy Master to Wilson, the Blazers' defense was obviously more affected.

Then, Wilson waved his hand and let the tragedy maker come up to pick and roll.

What's this?

If I have to make an analogy, the visual sense and effect of this pick-and-roll is just like Jokic's pick-and-roll for Durant.

No matter whether the attacker is in different places, shooting outside, or cutting inside, he has a way to complete the offense. And no matter what choice the attacker makes, Wilson has room to operate. There are four or five types of passes that can defeat the Blazers.

A dead end method, and this is just about passing. If he wants to attack on his own, then the only thing the Blazers can do is to pray that he has a bad touch.

Because Wilson will definitely be able to catch the Blazers' mismatch.

At this time, Clifford Robinson was misplaced to defend Wilson, but he forced a layup and scored 2+1.

The Trail Blazers obviously didn't expect the Lakers to play "beautiful basketball" at the beginning of the game.

Since the Western Conference finals, the Lakers have been very restrained in using "beautiful basketball". It is not as imagined by the outside world. As long as they make the game "beautiful", the Blazers will be able to capture it.

Riley has been studying "Beautiful Basketball" for some time. When he almost figured out the "Meteor" tactic, the Lakers' system saw many puzzling changes.

If the system of the "Meteor" tactics is based on regional dynamic offense, what the Lakers showed at the start tonight is completely different from it.

They seemed to rely entirely on Wilson's personal abilities.

Wilson misplaced the ball and hit Robinson 2+1, which was just the beginning.

After that, it was the same style of play again, but this time the Trail Blazers did not communicate well defensively and sent a wide open space directly, but they used a jump shot to complete the offense.

These two offenses were completed extremely neatly, and before Riley even realized what was going on, the Lakers' offense was over.

What made Riley feel the tactic was most unpredictable was that the Trail Blazers conducted a high-quality high-level double-team on Wilson in the third minute.

With Jordan and Rex Chapman teaming up, even Wilson would have trouble attacking.

Wilson had no intention of facing the double team and just passed the ball to his side.

The moment the tragic player reached out to touch the ball, he pushed it a little toward the bottom corner.

This is like a setter in a volleyball game. The ball flew towards Kobe's position under the tragic master's divine finger.

At that time, Kobe had just thrown away Byron Russell from a "shooting star" running path. When the tragic player passed the ball, it was open.

good chance!

Louis secretly thought on the sidelines.

What is incredible is that Kobe, that Kobe who would never consider passing the ball as long as he had a chance to take a shot, that Kobe who had his eyes above his head, that Kobe who didn't look like anyone else, that Kobe who was disliked by all the veterans, that Kobe who

Kobe, who could not miss this opportunity, threw the ball inside.

Garnett caught the ball with a confused look on his face, turned around, and licked the basket to score.

"Beane?" Garnett couldn't believe Kobe passed the ball.

Louis on the sidelines even shouted directly to Kobe: "It's too reasonable to be unreasonable!"

However, it was as if Kobe had problems with his vision and hearing at the same time.

He neither used this to show that he was selfless, nor did he respond to anyone's questions.

He turned around, took a deep breath, and quickly returned to defense.

"He looked really nervous," Bird laughed.

Louis asked back: "How did you see that he was nervous?"

"This kind of thing, you who don't play basketball at all, will definitely not be able to understand it. Let me put it this way, in my opinion, his performance so far is all accidental." Bird said sharply, "His body movements look very tight.

Tight, in this case, it is difficult to grasp even an open shot, and the pass is correct."

A minute later, Kobe got an open opportunity again, and there was no second open opportunity worth passing.

He must take action.

The shooting arc looked straight, but it hit the front edge of the basket.

"Okay, he does look pretty nervous." Now Louis could confirm it, because Kobe's shooting movements looked a little different from usual.

For a person like him who strives for technical excellence, if his technique deforms without confrontation, regardless of injuries, it can only be because of nervousness.
