Chapter 144 How Much More Can You Win? (Seek subscription, ask for support)

Speaking of this game, the player that the media and fans paid the most attention to, apart from the two "Pauls", is Milicic, the second pick of the Eagles who just joined the team.

Everyone expects to see the genius who once "overwhelmed" Anthony can be reborn under the "scientist" system!

However, fans who hold such unrealistic fantasies may be disappointed, because in this game, Ke Yan only gave Milicic 4 minutes of playing time, 0 points and 2 rebounds, and the data is also very thin. It can only be said that the comparison in The situation where the Pistons don't need to go into the locker room to take a shower has improved slightly.

But in the interview after the game, Milicic still expressed his excitement about coming to the Eagles: "After joining the team, I talked with Kimi, I will not enter the rotation lineup immediately, only when I reach him After the goal, I will get more playing time, I think it is very professional. Quinn is helping me now, I feel that my time with the Eagles is short, but I have found some. . . . . "

"Are you confident in your success with the Eagles?" the reporter asked.

"I can't say this now, I have to prove it with performance!" Milicic's answer was very mature.

At the press conference after the game, Ke Yan was also asked about Milicic, which surprised him a bit: "Let me make it clear that the Hawks traded for Darko because they thought he could help us! I don't want Everyone pays too much attention to him and ignores our other players. This is a kind of pressure on him, and it is not fair to others. I choose who to play because of his performance and adaptation to the tactics."

His words are a bit strong, but his intentions are also obvious.One is to decompress Milicic. I don’t want him to bear too much psychological burden, and I don’t want him to be too ambitious. If the team trades for Milicic, they will give up David Lee. There will be competition between the two, and no one has the privilege.

The Eagles ushered in a challenge from the Lakers at home.

This is one of the five national live broadcasts of the Eagles throughout the season. Among the Eagles, Keyan, Barnes, and House all played for the Lakers last season and made great contributions to the team's reaching the Western Conference semifinals!

Among them, the grievances between Keyan and the Lakers are the most talked about.

As the acting head coach, Ke Yan stepped in and secured the Lakers' place in the playoffs. He also strategized in the first round of the playoffs, broke the Sonics, and fought seven bloody games with the final champion Spurs. The fight was soul-stirring.

But the Lakers still treat Ke Yan like a shoe, and it’s fine if they don’t make him a full-time player. Before the end of the regular season, they negotiated a contract with Phil Jackson, and even defaulted to Phil Jackson’s appearance in the playoffs to show off his might!

Now, the Lakers have a record of 8 wins and 9 losses, ranking No.11 in the Western Conference. In a sense, this can be regarded as "buying a basket for a pearl"?

Although Phil Jackson, as the champion bishop of the 9th championship, enjoys a certain degree of immunity from public opinion, and fans and the media can give him a certain fault tolerance rate, but under the lineup that "takes over" Keyan's "Four Finals" in the Western Conference, he can't make it to the season. In the post-match, I'm afraid that no name will be able to protect him.

Right now, the team's record is not good, and Phil Jackson has already felt a certain amount of pressure, but externally, his attitude is very relaxed.

"Professional sports, it's normal for a team to face ups and downs. The Lakers have reached at least the Western Conference semifinals in the past seven seasons and are the best team in the league. It is normal to encounter weakness at a certain stage We will make a summary internally and get out of the predicament as soon as possible.”

On the other hand, it's not just the decline in the Lakers' record that bothers Phil Jackson. In contrast, the Eagles' take-off results also put a lot of pressure on him.

It's like my girlfriend's ex suddenly passed the public examination, and I am still collecting the rent of several buildings for my family. Although the quality of life is still high, I still lack a sense of accomplishment!

Horse riding, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor!

"In this game, James is mainly responsible for defending Kobe. If he is oppressed into the penalty area, he will resolutely pinch and don't worry about getting open!" Ke Yan arranged.

Many people think that in the 08 Finals, Kobe encountered an "epic-level" double-team every time he received the ball on the offensive end, and every breakthrough was extremely difficult. The Celtics used "epic-level" strangulation to limit Bryant.

In fact, this is entirely impression flow.

In the 08 Finals, the Celtics' defensive strategy was a round-the-clock battle. Ray Allen, Posey, Pierce, Tony Allen and even Rondo, whoever played against Kobe, all defended alone!Only after Kobe pressed into the penalty area, the Celtics' pincer attack will come up!

Moreover, this is not Kobe's unique treatment. When Fisher breaks into the penalty area, the Celtics will also attack!

As for why so many people are impressed, Kobe was flanked by Celtics defenders outside the penalty area?Because it was after the 08 Finals, the Celtics' defensive strength gradually declined, and then they used Garnett as the core of the defensive line to attack the line, restricting the opponent's shots, and making a lot of mistakes.

Of course, the Eagles don't have Garnett to support the defensive system, but at the same time, the Lakers only have Kobe.In addition to Francisco Garcia at the small forward position, Smush Parker and Odom may have three-point baskets, but they are not stable.

Players from both sides played, Barkley and Kenny Smith of the TNT commentary team immediately introduced the lineups of the two sides. Barkley stood with Ke Yan with a clear banner and believed that the Eagles had a better chance of winning!

Barkley is now a believer in "Scientology". Of course, isn't this "Scientology" the Scientology of Tom Cruise's envelope? It's just that against most opponents, Barkley is optimistic that the Eagles can win, and many He has said on the show many times that if he can meet a coach like a "scientist" in his career, he might have a chance to win the championship.

The starting lineup, five Eagles: Paul, Joe Johnson, Posey, Josh Smith, Diaw.

Five Lakers: Parker, Kobe Bryant, Garcia, Odom, Kwame Brown.

Josh Smith's unexpected jump ball won, the Eagles went first, and the perimeter lineup opened up.

Diaw gave Joe Johnson an off-ball screen from the side and helped him get rid of Kobe. Joe Johnson received the ball and Kwame Brown defended it.

Joe Johnson took the ball, changed direction and went to the right to pass Kwame Brown. He made a sudden stop at a high position and did not force a shot. Odom did not make a shot, and the ball was distributed to Josh Smith, who cut in from the back row, and the latter caught the ball and dunked in one go. (2:0)

After landing, Josh Smith hammered his chest excitedly!This action also made the fans at the scene very happy, and Dior specially made an action to stay away from Josh Smith, and it was performed directly at the Phillips Arena!

When defending the pick-and-roll just now, Kobe chose to chase and defend Joe Johnson.But the "missed" Dior can also create murderous intentions.For the Lakers, the team will definitely not have a good time on the defensive end in this game!

The Lakers attacked, and the formation was also stretched. Parker passed the ball to Odom in the middle and ran to the bottom corner. Odom passed to Kobe, who wanted the ball in the low post on the right.

Posey's speed is slow, not very suitable for the running and bombing of the Eagles, but his strength and confrontation are still good. He held Kobe in the low post, and Kobe turned around and forced a breakthrough. .

Kobe pulled the ball to avoid the steal, with his right foot as a foothold, reversed his back and turned his back for a jumper, turned around and backed up to widen the distance, and made an elegant jumper.

"Swish!" (2:2)

The Eagles attacked Kwame Brown again. After the screen, Joe Johnson singled out Brown. After shaking the opponent, he made a jump shot and missed. Odom grabbed the rebound and wanted to push the fast break. Josh Smith destroyed the rhythm at the first time !

This is also where Odom is inferior to Dior. When he pushes and counterattacks, he just rushes forward by himself, and he can't watch and listen to Dior like Dior.

Kobe received the ball on the right side, faked Posey's center of gravity, forcibly walked the bottom line to break through, Josh Smith made up in time, and the two blocked Kobe's pass.

Odom's horn shot missed, and Brown rushed to grab an offensive rebound for a foul!

Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and played a high pick-and-roll with Josh Smith. Odom had a bad chase and was cut inside by Josh Smith. Brown, who had a foul on his back, did not make it hard, allowing Josh Smith to complete his personal game Second dunk. (4:2)

Although Kwame Brown also has problems of one kind or another, Phil Jackson still doesn't trust the other insiders in the team. Not subject to reuse.

Kobe was sieged again near the penalty area and passed to Garcia on the outside. The latter missed the shot under the interference of Joe Johnson, and the rebound was protected by Josh Smith.

The offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers' foothold was not stable, Paul took the ball to the basket and handed it to Josh Smith who was plugging in. Josh Smith did not adjust his pace and failed to take off, but it also compressed the Lakers' defense. Joe Johnson in the second position caught the ball and made a steady three-pointer! (7:2)

The Lakers attacked, Kobe caught the ball and was double-teamed, and Odom was wide open and shot a three-pointer, which was missed!

Last season, under Ke Yan's request, Odom had a three-point shot, and his shooting percentage was almost 32%, which is not qualified, but at least the opponent will not let it go easily.However, this season, Odom's outside shooting percentage has dropped to 27%, and the decline is still quite serious.

Dior continued to provide hand-off screens for Paul. Parker was very active in avoiding the pursuit. Paul made a 45-degree emergency stop and passed back to the middle. Dior caught the ball and shot it. Enter. (9:2)

At the beginning, the Eagles pushed the game to the ground. Even if Phil Jackson didn't like to call a timeout, it was impossible to just sit on the sidelines and whistle at this time.

After the timeout ended, the Lakers still couldn't organize an effective offense. Kobe was double-teamed again and again, and Jackson had nothing to do.He didn't even make substitution adjustments, just started the game.

But on the defensive end, Odom's coverage is larger, and he will choose to let go of Josh Smith to supplement the defense.Josh Smith lacks shooting ability. Even if the defenseman can't get stuck in his first step, the inside Brown stands in a good position and don't let him take off easily. His handling of the ball is relatively rough.

Josh Smith was blocked from eating cakes, and the Eagles' offensive focus shifted to the outside line. The two guns in the backcourt used the pick-and-roll and then misplaced singles, using local advantages to create opportunities.If there is no top-level defender, the Eagles' lineup on the offensive end is really incomprehensible. The team that can win them must either beat them on the offensive end or have a top-level defensive rotation.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles lead the Lakers 33 to 20 by 13 points. Barkley should not be too embarrassing in the commentary room!

"In an interview with Huaxia, Kimi talked about what would happen to the team if the Lakers did not have him last season. He believed that the team would definitely decline, and might not even make it to the playoffs. In fact, That’s true. Even Phil Jackson can’t replace Kimi’s role!”

Barkley's words are more or less a bit private, after all, the Bulls back then personally ended his hopes of winning the championship.

In the second-quarter substitute contest, the Eagles still had an obvious advantage.

The firepower of the Lakers' bench lineup is mainly led by Atkins and Delfino. Without Butler and Finley as substitutes, the Lakers' bench lineup obviously lacks a ball-handler.The team's weak scoring from the bench is also the main reason for the Lakers' poor record this season.

As for the Eagles, Ke Yan told the players to be careful with Pachulia.In fact, the Georgian, who is in good physical condition, is a low defensive European big pyrene, and he has not yet turned into a "scumbag".

Both David Lee and Mickey Moore have a qualified mid-range, so the Eagles' bench lineup is "inside double pick-and-roll". The formation was wide open, and the Eagles were able to play out their tactics. Kittles and David Lee frequently attacked in the middle distance.

After three and a half minutes of play, the Eagles had a 19-point lead, and the Lakers hurriedly replaced Kobe, Smush Parker, and Odom.

"I can't play this ball!" Atkins dropped the towel in frustration when he was off the court. Compared with Ke Yan last season, Atkins is really depressed this season!

With the return of the main lineup, the Lakers' offense has improved significantly.In the Eagles lineup, except for Barnes, the other players seemed to be defenseless, and there was no way to cause any trouble for Kobe.The Lakers' 10:2 attack wave brought the point difference back to 13 points.

The main lineup of the Eagles rested for half a quarter before appearing.Ke Yan's adjustment to this song was a little late. Even with double-team tactics, there was still no way to stop Kobe, who was "red-eyed".Even if it's a one-on-two, Kobe can hit consecutively!

Relying on his own strength, Kobe can support the team's offense in a short period of time, but first, this "bloodthirsty state" is difficult to last. 3 points in 62 quarters and 81 points in a single game are all "passive skills". Secondly, the defense of the Lakers really can't prevent the Eagles!

Kobe's offensive end was overwhelming, but in the end it was hard to beat four hands with two fists. The Eagles scored 31 points with two guns in the backcourt and half a game, which made the Lakers' arrangement clear.At halftime, the Eagles led the Lakers by 66 points at 50:16.

"Don't relax just because you have a 16-point lead! There is no such thing as gentleness, courtesy and frugality on the basketball court. If you can win more points, win more points!"

In the locker room at halftime, Ke Yan "roared" loudly with a red neck. All players could feel Ke Yan's deep resentment towards the Lakers!

"In the second half of the game, continue to pinch Kobe! I don't believe he can continue to be so accurate!"

"Paul, if you're a man, if you score 58 points against the Lakers today, no one will dare to call you 58 again! Not even Yang Mi!"

Ke Yan gave the players a lot of blood, everyone knew that today, the boss of his own family is going to kill the Lakers!

Whoever performs well today will be able to increase impression points!

Doesn't this drive the Lakers to death?

In the third quarter, Paul, Joe Johnson, and Diaw scored three-pointers in a row. The Eagles shot 9 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, opening the point difference to 27 points and securing the victory in one fell swoop!

Under the watchful eyes of fans from both the United States and China, the game entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

In the final quarter of the game, Kobe continued to play, trying to use his personal ability to reverse the game. This was a futile effort, and the Eagles did not relax at all.

Ke Yan kept Paul and Joe Johnson at least one person on the court, and arranged for Posey or Barnes to follow Kobe on the court with a big lead, not giving Kobe any chance to create miracles!

Under the targeted defense of the Eagles players, Kobe's shooting percentage in the fourth quarter, halfway through the fourth quarter, the Eagles still led by 25 points, and locked the victory in the safe!

Both sides sent substitutes, and when Kobe got off the court, his face was so dark that it was scary!

The Eagles, who were still fat last season, have become an unmatched opponent for the Lakers this season, just because they poached the head coach of the Lakers last season!This was voluntarily given up by the management team!

If Ke Yan is still in the team, will it be the Eagles' turn to act wild?

Look at the lineup Ke Yan built in the Eagles, and then look at the helpers the Lakers found for him, what the heck!

If this continues, let alone the championship, it's hard to say whether he can make it to the playoffs!

Kobe was getting more and more angry on the sidelines, but on the court, the Eagles really didn't give the Lakers face, and they didn't show mercy at all!

The point is that the Lakers' substitute players have no fighting spirit. They are indifferent to the point difference of 30+, which makes Kobe even more upset!

Compared with last season, the combat effectiveness of the team has dropped by 01:30!

The final score was fixed at 132:100. The Eagles beat the Lakers by 32 points at home. Ke Yan proved himself in front of his old club.

This loss was also the best loss in Kobe's career. In an extremely bad mood, Kobe returned directly to the visiting team's locker room without saying a word!

Also silent was Phil Jackson. After the game, the two of them tacitly did not come together to shake hands. Phil Jackson went straight back to the locker room, while Ke Yan hugged the coaching staff to celebrate the victory!

The sentient beings in this game are really worth pondering carefully in the future!

At the press conference, Phil Jackson and Kobe continued to be black-faced throughout the whole process, unwilling to say a word.

"It's really inhumane to be interviewed after losing a game!" This is the foreshadowing when Ke Yan complained about the referee. This time is indeed a true portrayal of Phil Jackson and Kobe's heart.

On the contrary, Ke Yan, who was grinning all the time, became humble at this time: "The players played very well in this game and their shooting percentage was very high. Being able to beat the top four teams in the Western Conference last season gave us great encouragement, We can't be complacent just because of a regular season, and I believe the Lakers will adjust."

On the surface, they are all words of humility and blessings, but in fact they are all cueing Phil Jackson. The old guy's face is very ugly!Feeling slapped in the face.

Hehe, I will hit you if I hit you, do I still have to choose a date!
