Chapter 152 Steal victory
I have to say that Kobe puts great defensive pressure on him, and even Chen Mo is a little unaware of his ability to start.
Basketball is never just a one-person sport. No matter how powerful Kobe is, Chen Mo has teammates!
Haslem's pick-and-roll, Brad Miller's support, and Blake's pass.
Chen Mo received the ball with difficulty and broke through before Kobe posted it. Eddie Jones' exquisite running position allowed Chen Mo to find an opportunity to pass the ball.
With a close throw shot, Eddie Jones expanded the score to 10 points, and the pressure finally came to the Lakers.
O'Neal forced himself to score the ball, but when he turned around, Haslem also made a rare mid-range hit.
Karl Malone and Payton completed the pick-and-roll and hit two points at a very familiar mid-range position.
On the other side, Brad Miller also made a jump shot from the middle distance.
60:52
At the end of the first half, the Heat still led by 8 points. After the change of the team in the last two minutes, the Lakers did not gain an advantage.
It has to be said that in today's game, the Heat caused quite a lot of trouble to the Lakers.
"Bill, how do you feel? The Lakers are still 8 points behind."
"Of course, this is not good news, but there is no need to worry. I believe the Lakers players, and I believe Phil Jackson will get it all."
Bivorton is still full of confidence. Of course, with such a lineup, I guess I can't be unconfident.
"What do you think will change Phil Jackson next?"
"Strengthen the defense, in fact, you saw it, and in the last two minutes, Phil had realized the problem.
He chose to let Kobe guard Chen Mo, which is a signal to strengthen his defense.
For a lineup like the Lakers, it is really not necessary to lose 60 points in the half game."
...
"What about the Heat? Talking about the Heat, in fact, they were not optimistic before the start of the new season."
"Yes, on the surface, the Heat's lineup is indeed not very good. They only have one All-Star, and that is Brad Miller."
Speaking of Brad Miller becoming an All-Star last year, it is indeed quite surprising, and his data is really hard to come by.
However, there is nothing we can do about this. There is no one else in the Eastern Conference center position.
The starting center in the Eastern Conference last year was Ben Wallace, making a defensive expert an All-Star starter.
Of course, there is Ben Wallace's strong defense, the best defensive player of many years, and his inspirational resume, which is quite attractive.
However, the All-Stars are not about your defense. Generally speaking, the Eastern Conference team is very weak in the center position.
In a big way, that is the downturn in the entire league in the center position.
"Of course, the Heat's lineup is not particularly bad, because they also have Eddie Jones and Bryan Grant.
The Heat's bad luck is actually just a core player. Eddie Jones is 33 years old after all, so he can't fight the whole game anymore.
No one expected that Chen would perform so well at the beginning of the new season, beyond imagination.
Chen made up for the core shortcomings of the Heat, and he accomplished this very well. This is the key to becoming stronger."
...
Although Bivorton has retired, he still knows all NBA teams very well.
At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers indeed strengthened their defense, which actually made the Heat missed the first three shots.
Of course, while the Lakers strengthened their defense, the Heat did the same, after all, this is Pat Riley's team.
A coach who can make players fight hard on the court with injuries, will definitely not be too vague in defense.
O'Neal scored a difficult goal and grabbed the score slightly, and both sides fell into entanglement again.
At this time, Kobe finally took it out and faced Eddie Jones and directly scored an unreasonable three-pointer.
After hitting a three-pointer, he immediately returned to defend Chen Mo without saying a word, but his rebellious expression had long been beyond words.
Especially when Chen Mo faced him, Kobe raised his eyebrows and raised his chin.
Although the snake doesn't speak much, it's really a lot of provocation with winking and eye-catching provocation.
This is very obvious. I have already invested in it, it's your turn.
Speaking of which, this is also in line with Kobe's personality, that is, defeating all opponents and defeating all dissatisfaction.
Chen Mo was speechless. Seeing these stars at close range, why did they all look different from what they thought!
Yao Ming is a chatter chatter player, Wade is an arrogant middle school boy, and Kobe is a petty man...
I have to say that you have to be farther away from these stars, otherwise it would be disappointing.
Chen Mo naturally won’t be afraid of Kobe’s challenge. Kobe is now just O’Neal’s younger brother.
At this time, Kobe had not won the scoring champion, nor had he completed two consecutive championships, and he did not have the status of the first player in the active service.
Facing Kobe's defense, hard work is definitely not a good thing to pay attention, after all, he is one of the best outside defenders in the NBA.
But, as the saying goes, basketball is not just one person, he can call people!
Chen Mo started running, and Grant and Blake's pick-and-roll were sent one after another, and Kobe was indeed stopped.
Looking for this opportunity, Chen Mo was about to take action, and Gary Payton had already made up for defense.
"I'll go! This snake is not trustworthy, what about the one-on-one challenge that promised?"
As for Chen Mo just wanted a pick-and-roll, he had long forgotten.
Besides, can pick-and-roll be considered cheating when playing basketball? It definitely doesn’t count!
Gary Payton's defensive ability is no worse than Kobe. It is said that Kobe has also specially learned from Gary Payton.
However, Chen Mo must not be timid. With his height advantage, he pulled out his hands directly.
The luck is pretty good, plus the bonus of the shooting shooting status, the basketball is hollow.
Kobe was a little unhappy when he saw Chen Mo get a three-pointer, especially when he is Gary Payton, you can't defend yourself.
In the next game, both sides played back and forth. O'Neal went wild, Chen Mo fought back with three-pointers, Kobe made a single, and Chen Mo still fought back with three-pointers.
"Oh my God, this is Chen's seventh three-pointer. Is he going to break the record today?
The record of 12 three-pointers in a single game is Kobe. Will Chen break the record in person today?"
...
After hearing this bad news, Kobe was really a bit crazy. It is not scary to be broken in the record, but what is scary is that he was broken in person.
As a result, he defended even more wildly, but the focus was on Chen Mo's three-pointer, which made Chen Mo's breakthrough easier.
On the bench, some players from the Heat also began to stand up, and Mo Williams made two open three-pointers in a row.
After no O'Neal protected the basket, Haslem also began to fight for the frontcourt rebounds in a row, and made a second offense.
With the Big Four lineup, the Lakers are definitely not capable of being on the bench, and the Heat seized this today.
Chapter completed!
