Chapter 321 Yes Is Crazy? !
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!"
The third quarter of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center in Los Angeles continues.
The crazy shouts of the Los Angeles fans at the scene also continued!
“This is the first time in all my years in Los Angeles that I’ve seen them so excited about a regular season game!”
No, even in the playoffs, Los Angeles fans are rarely like this!
They are Los Angeles fans!
Los Angeles fans are notoriously 'aristocratic' fans!
Never before have Los Angeles fans come to cheer and cheer for the team like Celtics fans!
Tonight, there were only 10,000 fans in Los Angeles, but the momentum they created was even greater than the 20,000 in the past!
Yes!
Kobe!
It is because they are so crazy that the fans supporting them on the sidelines are so crazy!
In the stands, Brand and other Clippers players looked at the two crazy players on the court with complicated expressions on their faces.
Coming to watch this game is torture for them.
But if you don’t watch it, it’s even more painful!
After working hard for most of the season, they wanted to know how Yes and Kobe could waste most of their hard work.
Now, they see it.
"I have always wanted to compete with the Lakers in Los Angeles. I thought these few seasons would be a good opportunity, but in the end I discovered that as long as the Lakers have Kobe, we have no chance of overtaking the Lakers in Los Angeles."
Kobe has become so powerful without even realizing it!
They have known how powerful Kobe is since last season.
I didn’t expect that such a powerful Kobe would actually...
"Yes can actually divide the Los Angeles Lakers fans at Staples like they are now!"
Shake the foundation of Kobe's dominance at Staples,
Clippers players no longer had such a dream last season.
This is an impossible dream.
But now, this dream has actually come true.
Achievable people are not them!
"It's really incredible. I didn't expect that the person who shook the Lakers' dominance over Staples for the first time was Yes?!"
"No, it's not unbelievable. Yes has enough strength to support him to do such a thing!"
Enough strength!
"That's right! That's enough strength!"
They have been suppressed by the Lakers just because they are not strong enough.
They were also killed by Yes because they were not strong enough!
From the beginning of the second quarter, Brand and the others have been watching the game on their knees!
It has been four days since they were defeated by Yes, and they have been unwilling to do so these four days.
Just one ball away!
It's really just one ball away and they can change their destiny!
Now, they no longer have such unwillingness.
Look at the way Yes and Kobe play in this game!
Except for Yes and Kobe, there is no third person in the league who can do it!
"I originally thought that Yes were pushed to the limit by us in the last game, but now it seems that we are still far away from Yes' limit!"
Alien Cassel looked helpless.
In the last game, the Clippers, who had given their all, still did not touch the limit of Yes.
This is very sad.
In the past two games, after the Clippers were beaten by the SuperSonics at home and away, it is only a theoretical possibility for the Clippers to enter the playoffs.
Yes won that game with the Sonics, and what they gained was more than just a victory.
In addition to the victory, Yes also completely shattered the hopes of those who expected the Sonics to collapse and believed that the Sonics were weak.
Now no team will think that the Sonics are a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated.
But before the two battles between the Clippers and SuperSonics, not to mention others, even the Clippers themselves, what they initially thought about was what would happen after these two games were taken into their hands.
When the Clippers were comparing their scores with the SuperSonics, they took credit for these two victories early on.
But who would have thought that in these two games they seemed to be able to hold on to the victory, they failed to win any of them.
After losing these two games, their playoff hopes were completely dashed.
And not only were their hopes dashed, the playoff hopes of the Warriors, Hornets, and Kings behind them were also dashed.
With less than 25 games left in the season, they are already almost 10 games behind.
The premise and basis for them to maintain their playoff expectations and hopes is that they believe that their team's strength is superior to the SuperSonics.
After these two games, no one will have unrealistic expectations.
As long as Yes is still supersonic!
Their team's strength cannot be higher than the SuperSonics!
What is a super giant?
This is super giant!
Yes!
Kobe!
They are the kind of players who can suppress a team by themselves!
As long as a team has a superstar like Kobe or Yes, they can compete with any team!
Now, these two NBA perimeter giants collide directly!
The result of the collision was that they completely recognized the reality!
It’s not unfair to lose to super giants like Yes and Kobe, and there’s nothing to be unwilling to do!
This game is so crazy!
The benches of the Lakers and SuperSonics, the bench players of the Lakers and the bench players of the SuperSonics are now standing on the sidelines watching the game!
The only people sitting in the seats of the two teams now are the head coaches of the two teams, Phil Jackson and Nelson.
But as long as you look a little closer, you can clearly see that Phil Jackson's right leg is shaking all the time.
Phil Jackson is definitely not as calm as his superficial Zen master demeanor now!
nervous!
very nervous!
The closer he got to the moment of victory, the more nervous he became.
Phil Jackson showed such emotion for the first time in the regular season.
Is it because this game is too important?
Not at all.
What's more, his opponent is too powerful!
As the former head coach of the Bulls and OK combination.
Whether it's the Bulls or the OK Lakers, these two teams are one of the strongest teams in the NBA.
Both teams also had the best players in the NBA at the time!
Jordan, O'Neal, they are the best players of their respective eras!
When your team has the best player in the NBA, you will feel safe no matter how big the crisis is.
Give the team hope in a desperate situation.
Isn’t that what the best players in the NBA do?
But now, the strongest player in the NBA is on the opposite side!
Phil Jackson is not sure if Yes is the strongest player in the NBA now, but Yes's game gave him the sense of oppression and pressure that only the strongest player in the NBA can cause.
Now Phil Jackson finally understands why many head coaches are nervous and nervous when facing his Jordan Bulls and OK Lakers.
Facing Jordan and O'Neal, no matter how big the advantage is, there will be no sense of security.
No matter how good the tactic is, one will doubt whether this tactic will be forcibly broken by Jordan and O'Neal!
Just like now he faces Yes.
There is nothing wrong with his tactical strategy.
Yes is spending more and more on both offense and defense, and Yes is making less and less effort on the offensive end and oppressing the Lakers.
The tactics he devised to consume Yes were effective.
But, there is still no sense of security!
I was really nervous and didn’t feel safe at all!
This is a feeling of mental insecurity.
Facing a player like Yes who can perform miracles like Jordan O'Neal, no one will feel confident enough to win a game.
Moreover, he knows better than others how powerful players like O'Neal and Jordan are!
He is their head coach!
On the court, Kobe was observing his surroundings.
The Sonics still didn't double-team him!
The Sonics are still allowing Yes to engage in a one-on-one war of attrition with him!
This is completely different from the last time the two teams met.
The last time the two teams met, he had not played Yes alone. As long as he showed the slightest intention of playing Yes alone, he would be frantically flanked by the Sonics players.
Even if the Sonics sacrifice all the team's defense for this, they will not hesitate.
So hard!
Yes's defensive intensity is still so strong and has not declined at all!
This is not the first session!
It’s already the third quarter!
No matter how physically gifted a player is, he will be exhausted after three strikes.
Players with good talent but little experience are not sustainable.
The Yes behind him actually gave him a feeling that Yes was very sustainable.
This is definitely not because Yes' experience is greater than his. It can only be said that Yes' talent is stronger than he imagined.
Yes, it really seems to have endless physical talent that is inexhaustible!
Faced with Yes's intense personal defense, according to past games, he only needs to seize a slight opening and attack directly.
But not this game!
Scoring is important in this game, but the most important thing than scoring is consumption Yes!
Every offensive matchup with Yes is an opportunity to consume Yes.
As long as the purpose of consuming Yes is not achieved, his score has no meaning.
Kill the threat in the cradle!
This is the purpose of him and the Lakers in this game!
The strategy of consuming Yes is to kill the threat in the cradle.
He and the Lakers didn't have the strength to handle Yes's killing spree at the end of the game.
When Yes has enough physical strength, he can kill the Cavaliers, he can kill the Pistons, and he can kill the Clippers!
This season, Yes and Anthony's key goals are the strongest!
Especially Yes, when the Sonics needed him to step up at critical moments, Yes almost never missed an appointment!
Such a Yes, the threat is too great!
The Lakers and SuperSonics are similar in strength. There is a high probability that this game will be decided at the last moment.
But Yes has the strongest decisive ability in the league, so what should we do?
He and the Lakers need to exhaust Yes' energy before the critical moment of the game comes!
When Yes's physical strength is exhausted.
The critical moment has arrived.
The Lakers don't have to be Yes's lambs to be slaughtered like the Pistons, Cavaliers, and Clippers.
By then, the character of the lamb to be slaughtered will be Yes, supersonic!
Now that we have lost some scoring opportunities, why not be a little tired now? !
Just thinking that Yes might be ravaged by him at the last moment due to lack of physical strength, Kobe is extremely excited now!
Kobe, persist, persist, grit your teeth, grit your teeth again!
"Once! Twice! Three times! A strong back attack! Kobe pushed Yes three times before throwing the ball!"
"Hit! Kobe once again scored two difficult points!"
Two point hit!
70 to 76!
The Lakers are still 6 points behind!
As long as Yes is exhausted before the critical moment of the fourth quarter, with the combat effectiveness of other Sonics players, the six-point deficit can be ignored!
Now, the situation has been controlled by him and the Lakers!
He can clearly feel that Yes' influence and vitality on the court continue to decline!
"Phil Jackson's tactics are going to succeed!"
Since losing to the Sonics and Yes in their last meeting, Popovich has been in sorrow.
It’s very sad. The strategy that we prepared for more than half a year to deal with Yes failed. How can we not make people sad?
What's even more sad now is that Phil Jackson's strategy for Yes is going to succeed!
Phil Jackson's strategy against Yes in this game was very successful.
The basis of his and Phil Jackson's strategies is that the other Sonics players are garbage.
The difference is that his strategy is to let those garbage Sonics players play in isolation, never let Yes play in isolation, and will never play in isolation against Yes.
The Lakers, on the other hand, let Yes consume more singles, and the Lakers also consume Yes more in singles!
Same ideas, different choices.
Because he has Duncan, and Phil Jackson has Kobe!
Looking at it now, his strategy failed to take full advantage of Duncan.
This directly led to the dilemma that the Spurs were about to lose, but Duncan didn't even have a chance to play.
And Phil Jackson's strategy can be said to have used Kobe to the extreme!
Even Kobe will probably have to rest for a day or two after this game.
The entire league, that is, Kobe can implement Phil Jackson's tactics and strategies alone.
If he is willing to consume Duncan like this, the outcome of the last game with the SuperSonics can be completely reversed!
Judging from this game, his tactics seem feasible.
It's not that he passed the blame. This really can't be blamed on his tactical failure.
Duncan's age is different from Kobe's!
How could he be willing to consume Duncan like Phil Jackson consumed Kobe?
Duncan is his treasure!
Kobe? !
Popovich looked at Lakers No. 24 on TV with longing in his eyes.
He almost got Kobe Bryant in 2004.
In the end, I didn't expect that the Lakers would give up O'Neal.
Is there still a chance to get Kobe this year? !
Yes is the best for the Spurs!
But Yes can't come to the Spurs, and Kobe is the best alternative.
It was no secret that Kobe wanted to leave the Lakers after Kupchak failed to rob Kidd.
The key is the chips!
If they can get Kobe, it would be worthwhile for the Spurs to pay any chips except Duncan.
As long as Duncan and Kobe are there, Yes's problem will be solved.
It won't give him any headache!
Popovich himself was shocked when such an idea came to his mind.
"How could I have such an idea?!"
Use the combination of Duncan and Kobe to solve Yes's problem? !
He would actually think of such a way to solve Yes' problem? !
Soon, Popovich was relieved.
You really can't blame him for having such thoughts.
Solving the Yes problem has now become a unique problem that all NBA coaches must face together!
Just like the problem that NBA coaches faced with Jordan and O'Neal back then!
If he couldn't find a tactical solution to Yes, how could he place his hopes on the illusory DK combination? !
Yes!
Is he still just a rookie this season? !
A rookie gave him ideas that only the DK combination could solve.
A rookie, in one game, Kobe was at his peak and suppressed him for three whole quarters!
Even if Yes is really exhausted and defeated by Kobe in the end, this game will not be a stain for Yes, but a glory!
Anyone who can not only withstand three quarters, but also suppress three quarters in the face of such a crazy Kobe Bryant, is an honor!
"Yes is putting more and more energy into the defense!"
"The outcome of this game has been decided, the outcome has been decided!"
Popovich put away the shock and small thoughts in his heart and watched the game seriously again.
It had only been three quarters, so he made such a judgment not without reason.
If Yes's previous energy was 100, Yes put 50 on the defensive end and 50 on the offensive end. In this way, Yes and the SuperSonics are also the strongest.
Now Yes only has 70 energy left, but if Yes still puts 50 on the defensive end, Yes's efforts on the defensive end will naturally increase.
As the game continues, Yes's energy decreases, the proportion of his energy focused on the defensive end is also increasing, and his offensive threat is also decreasing.
The opening scene where Conroy was knocked away has become less and less common.
This is Yes' choice. Yes chose to focus more on the defensive end.
Yes is the right choice.
If Yes focuses more on the offensive end, he will definitely be greeted by the Lakers' stronger defensive intensity.
The Lakers may even double-team Yes!
Facing Yes, who is called his mentor by Nash, the strongest passer in the league, and even the strongest passer in history, his passing level has reached the level of childishness.
For ordinary teams, no one dares to double-team until the last moment.
Double-teaming means giving away.
It’s not like there are no teams that have died in front of the strongest Yes.
With Kobe's touch in this game, even if the Lakers don't want to double-team Yes, if Yes forces them to double-team, they still have the capital to double-team.
If this is really the case, Yes' consumption will not be less in the first three quarters, but can the SuperSonics always lead the Lakers?
not necessarily!
Yes chose to focus more on the defensive end and Kobe was right.
You get more benefits with a little effort, of course you are right!
It's hard to say that Yes, who suppressed Kobe for three quarters, made a mistake in choosing the game.
If the Sonics really lose this game.
So the only problem with the Sonics is that Yes's physical strength is not as good as Kobe's.
Yes's physical talent is very strong, but his experience in using physical strength in the game is far less than that of Kobe, who played 800 games in the NBA.
82 to 76!
At the end of the three quarters, the score difference on the field was still 6 points!
Looking at Yes, who had bent over and put his hands on his knees, Kobe was still standing, but breathing heavily, with excitement and shock in his eyes!
Excitedly, Yes is finally about to fall!
What’s shocking is that Yes is still alive!
"Yes, I will play the entire fourth quarter!"
Ye Si reluctantly raised his hands, with no surprise on his face.
"Kobe finally demonstrated to Yes!"
"Kobe finally couldn't bear it anymore!"
"If it were me, I would also declare victory like Kobe!"
"The balance of victory is already tilting towards Kobe and the Lakers!"
Barkley is now standing and roaring commentary.
The most powerful battle of this era is about to come to an end!
Huh? !
The third quarter is over, Yes is still out? !
Not only did Yes not end the game, but he also called all the SuperSonics players to the court? !
Buckley was surprised and puzzled.
"Yes, won't Kobe drive you crazy?"
Even Kobe, who had already sat off the court, was a little stunned.
After being stunned, a smile appeared on Kobe's tired face.
Next, it’s a wonderful moment for him to appreciate Yes’ struggle!
