Chapter 769 James Harden

The 100-point contest is a tough test of a player's overall scoring quality!

Why has there only been one 100-point game in NBA history?

Why is it still questioned whether the only 100-point game is fake?

In fact, the only 100-point game in the NBA was fake.

Without fakes, it is really hard for anyone to get 100 points.

This is not only true for Chamberlain, but also for Kobe.

And Kobe's target is Ibaka!

The Seattle Supersonics' defensive strategy against him in this game is single defense.

Although it is single defense, the single defense led by Yes is not so shoddy.

Yes, Milicic, Millsap, and even Rondo are all very, very good defensive players.

With the help of his teammates, his teammates can help him get rid of Yes temporarily, but he will not get an open opportunity. In front of him may be Milicic, Millsap, or Rondo's help defense.

Whether it is Milicic, Millsap or Rondo, although they can't defend him in this game, they can reduce his hit rate to the maximum, which is absolutely no problem.

What is more fatal than reducing his hit rate is that his physical energy consumption will also increase greatly!

In a 100-point competition, without physical strength, there is nothing!

Ibaka can not only help him save physical energy on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, with Ibaka's offensive ability, when he defends Ibaka, Ibaka can also save him physical energy.

His outbreak in the third quarter, in addition to his own reasons, the biggest reason is his more efficient use of Ibaka!

In the third quarter, Ibaka is his best assistant both on the defensive and offensive ends!

As long as Ibaka stays on the court, he has great confidence to get 100 points faster than Yes!

But now!

Kobe felt a little regretful in his heart.

Without Ibaka, he has no way to keep looking for Ibaka. Even if he gets rid of Yes with the help of his teammates, he needs to choose one of the four defensive strongmen left in the Supersonics.

This is a real headache.

However!

He is Kobe Bryant!

He will not disappoint Yes in this game. He is the only Kobe Bryant in the NBA who can play this 100-point racing game with Yes!

Even without Ibaka's assistance, he has a greater advantage than Yes, and he is confident that he can reach 100 points faster than Yes!

Ibaka's end not only makes Kobe regretful, but Yes also feels a little regretful.

Kobe did not notice Ibaka's number of fouls.

Yes did not notice it either.

Except for the players themselves and the opposing players who want to beat the opposing players, few people will notice the number of fouls of the players.

By the way, the head coach of the team will also notice it.

Hmm?

The head coach of the team?

When Yes came down from the court with a frown, he looked at the head coach of the team, old Nelson, and Yes seemed to understand something.

And Ibaka, who had been following Yes step by step, was relieved when he saw Yes's sincere frown because of his end.

Generally speaking, only the player himself and the head coach of the team will often pay attention to the number of fouls committed by a player, but if both of them intend to get the player off the court early, even if Kobe has tried hard to protect him, there is nothing he can do.

It is very important for Ibaka to stay on the court.

Kobe is in very good condition in this game, and Ibaka is a regulator.

He will consume Kobe's sharpness crazily in the first line of defense, and cannot let Kobe really go crazy, but Kobe's edge cannot be completely released without a place. If Kobe's first line of defense is him, and the second line of defense is Millsap and Milicic, Kobe will still get a lot of points in this game, sixty, seventy, eighty are all possible, but there is absolutely no possibility of 100 points.

When Ibaka is on the court, he can go all out to limit Kobe's first edge, so that Kobe's edge is in a controllable state.

Kobe's strength is too strong, and Kobe in this game is particularly strong. He can't control Kobe alone, and needs Ibaka as a regulator to adjust Kobe's strength.

Now without Ibaka, he has no way to ensure that Kobe has 100 points. In the end, he must be the first to reach 100 points. At the same time, he can't guarantee that the team will win. It's hard to say whether he can reach 100 points!

As Kobe's hope of 100 points decreases, Phil Jackson's defense against him will also change.

Ibaka's end is a very headache for Yes.

Of course, Yes hits his head, and seeing Yes's headache and frown, Ibaka is very happy and feels that his self-sacrifice is worth it.

In Yes's mind, he is not a tool man who reflects his greatness!

Yes really treats him with the greatest sincerity.

For a team's worst role player, it is definitely a very happy thing to be valued by the team boss.

In addition to Ibaka, of course, old Nelson is also happy now.

Ibaka wanted to come down, he saw it, and he didn't do anything, just let Ibaka stay on the court, and Ibaka really came down!

Now, he needs to make a choice.

For Yes's 100 points, and Yes was the first to reach 100 points, the player who replaced Ibaka on the court with Yes became particularly important.

Ibaka was Kobe's tool on the court. Whatever Kobe wanted to do, Ibaka could cooperate.

It can be said that as long as Ibaka was replaced, any player replaced by the Seattle Supersonics could do better than Ibaka.

But doing better than Ibaka is not enough, it is also necessary to prevent Kobe from achieving 100 points faster than Yes!

Of course, the team also has to win at the same time!

The winning conditions of the Seattle Supersonics in this game, before the game, the Supersonics felt that Yes and the Lakers' outside line could be evenly matched, or they would not lose too badly, and they could win the game with their inside advantage and substitute advantage.

Yes has done well enough in this game.

From now on, the comparison between Yes and the Lakers' outside players can't be considered a terrible loss.

Of course, they lost. Yes's score was not as good as the sum of Kobe and the Lakers' outside players.

But now the score between the two sides is tied.

This shows that his and the players' pre-match analysis was correct.

The Sonics' inside players and substitutes do have advantages.

And now, it's time for him to help Yes get 100 points and lead the team to win!

To limit Kobe, help Yes get 100 points, and help the Sonics win, old Nelson kept thinking about various candidates in his heart.

At this time, James Harden, PJ Tucker, Wilkins, Quentin Richardson, Barea and others sitting on the bench were also eager to try.

When these substitutes who were preparing to play as substitutes in the fourth quarter stood up from their seats, they looked at old Nelson reluctantly.

Facing the players' eyes, old Nelson secretly glanced at Yes on the side.

Now that the players are so hungry, he certainly can't give the right to decide the candidates to Yes. Isn't this a provocation?

So, he needs his own choice.

Moreover, if he gives Yes the chance to choose this person, old Nelson can be sure that Yes will definitely choose Harden!

Yes is so willful and principled.

In old Nelson's mind, there are two best candidates to replace Ibaka, Barea and Tucker.

Barea is on the court, but he still can't limit Kobe on the defensive end.

Maybe Barea limits Kobe better than Ibaka, but only a little bit better.

However, Barea can consume Kobe on the offensive end with a very high probability.

Hmm?

But soon, old Nelson ruled out such an idea, let Barea consume Kobe on the offensive end?

In the end, it is very likely that Barea consumed Kidd...

Old Nelson looked at Rondo next to him and finally sighed.

Rondo must be by Yes's side.

In this game, Yes's ultra-long-range three-point play requires Rondo to pass the ball to Yes.

As long as Rondo is on the court and Kobe is on the defensive end, there is no Ibaka to defend, but he can still defend Rondo.

This is simply unsolvable.

Rondo's offense is stronger than Ibaka, but only slightly stronger. The pressure on Kobe is still almost zero.

So why not use an offensive player to replace Ibaka?

Use a defensive Tucker?

If Tucker appears on the defensive end, it can ensure that the five players on the court of the Supersonics are all strong defensive players.

Even if Kobe gets rid of Yes with the help of the entire Lakers team, it is not so easy to attack, especially Kobe in the fourth quarter when his physical strength has been consumed a lot.

Kobe singled out Tucker, that is of course no problem.

But Kobe did not have so much time to single out Tucker.

The Lakers team helped Kobe get rid of Yes's defense, that is, to get rid of it for a while, the time was very, very short, so Kobe was so diligent in looking for Ibaka in the third quarter.

It is really the shortest time to play Ibaka, and Yes will not be able to find him again so quickly.

But!

After Tucker, Kobe may not get 100 points, and Yes will not get 100 points either!

He couldn't even imagine how the Lakers would defend Yes when Rondo and Tucker were on the court!

As long as Tucker and Rondo were on the court, Phil Jackson would dare to double-team Yes in the middle circle!

With Barea, Yes and Kobe could both score 100 points, but Kobe would definitely be faster!

With Tucker, it is highly likely that neither Yes nor Kobe could score 100 points, and the team might not win in the end!

Looking at the game going on on the court, old Nelson had a headache.

When Ibaka left the court, he was very happy.

But now that Ibaka has left the court, he can't find a player to replace Ibaka!

It can only be said that the Sonics' outside players are indeed not perfect now. Barea is not perfect, Tucker is not perfect, Quentin Richardson and Wilkins are equally imperfect. These two have both offense and defense, but their offense and defense are not so oppressive.

It's better to play one of Tucker and Barea than to play them.

Old Nelson looked at the Sonics player who had just made Fisher commit an offensive foul on the court, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Fisher broke through with the ball and bumped into Harden, who flew out of the court directly.

Just a slight touch, Harden flew directly!

What made Old Nelson not know whether to laugh or cry was that Fisher saw Harden flying out so exaggeratedly, and he also flew out backwards!

That's right, Fisher and Harden made a small contact on a breakthrough offense and defense, and in the end, the two of them were like being electrocuted, and all flew out backwards!

This made Randolph on the court look at the two players who fell to his left and right, and he was stunned!

Randolph even had an illusion, that is, did he have some inexplicable superpowers to bounce Harden and Fisher away?

With Old Nelson's eyesight in the league for so many years, he certainly could see that Harden and Fisher were both faking falls.

The innocent eyes of the two people sitting on the floor were quite similar.

Both of them looked innocent and confused. In the end, the referee still called a foul on Fisher. He didn't know what was going on between the two of them. They looked like that, but Harden just stood outside the circle...

This kid!

This old thing!

Harden and Fisher looked at each other innocently and blankly with two pairs of innocent eyes, but they were cursing in their hearts.

This is the rejection of the same kind by the same kind!

Damn the same kind, I don't like big butts!

"..."

Looking at Fisher's eyes, Harden was indignant. Harden didn't like big butts either!

And you don't like big butts, what do you like?

Have the big-butt ladies offended you?

Do you hate them so much? !

Watching James Harden and Fisher secretly competing on the court, even the experienced Fisher was annoyed by James Harden, and old Nelson's headache eyes slowly began to shine!

Three minutes into the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers requested a timeout.

After three minutes of play, the two teams, which were originally tied at 112, have now become 120 to 116, and the Los Angeles Lakers have lost four points.

According to the rotation lineup of both sides in the fourth quarter, the Lakers are about to be pulled away.

After three minutes of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson confirmed that Randolph, playing alone in the interior, really can't stand Millsap + Marc Gasol or Marc Gasol + Milicic!

Marc Gasol, Millsap, Milicic, the three inside players of the Supersonics who take turns to play two by two are simply poisonous!

Since Randolph can't handle the three inside players playing two by two, then don't do it.

Anyway, there is enough time now!

"The two teams are finally going to have the final showdown!"

"Yes and Kobe are finally going to decide the winner!"

O'Neal is looking forward to it. Kobe has changed in this game. He actually cooperates with his teammates so well in the third quarter!

I knew that this guy is not incapable of cooperation, but later he became inflated and disdained to cooperate with this shark!

However, now that Ibaka is off the court, how can we beat Yes!

Huh? !

When O'Neal, who was looking forward to it, saw the bearded man who did not leave the court and was still on the court, which surprised him, his face turned black in an instant!

"Are you kidding me?!"

O'Neal was in an uproar, and many people were in an uproar, but Artest licked the corner of his mouth excitedly when he saw James Harden.

Kid!
