After the conflict between Kobe and Bynum intensified, they stopped talking in the locker room and looked at each other with cold and hostile eyes.
Bynum felt that with the friendship of Fanshie, he could overthrow Kobe, just like when Kobe drove away O'Neal. When the leader of a team rises to the top through abnormal means, then the young people of the team will naturally
Falling into a cycle. Just like the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, Li Shimin made great achievements, but the history of his rise to power was so disgraceful that every time the entire Tang Dynasty changed dynasties, people were panicked, with fathers guarding their sons and brothers guarding their brothers.
Bynum sincerely believes that the Lakers no longer need an aging, dictating emperor. He has been suppressed too much by Kobe Bryant in recent years. Before, he competed with Fanci for the position of successor, and now he thinks why not go further?
?
Kobe has always disliked Bynum. He believed that Bynum had no potential to become a leader and was just a spoiled child. How could he carry the Lakers, a wealthy team, without a trace of principle or bravery?
?
Kobe believed that together with Van Hey, he would be a brand new Jordan Pippen, and it didn't matter whether he had Bynum or not.
Under the complex emotional conflict between the two, Fan Xi inexplicably became the "soul figure" of the team.
In the locker room, Fan Xi's voice was fully strengthened.
Phil Jackson didn't expect it, but he was sure that the current situation was beneficial to Fan Xi.
This is why he arranged for Fansheed and Kobe to start at the same time, while Andrew Bynum sat on the bench.
He's adding an extra layer of excitement between Bynum and Kobe.
The more intense their competition, the more stable Fan Xi becomes.
Fan Xi didn't think so much, he just wanted to win.
Nowitzki said before the game, "I have no choice but to win," and Fanci thought so in his heart.
As for the things Phil Jackson did for him behind his back, he didn't care.
Once the game starts.
Kobe Bryant showed an unprecedented gesture.
When Pau Gasol defeated Tyson Chandler with a jump ball, Fanci brought the ball to the frontcourt. According to the tactics, he passed the ball to Kobe who was playing in singles on the strong side. Kobe advanced one meter with his back, turned around to attract a double attack, and did not take a direct shot.
, but quickly passed it to Fancy, who caught the ball, sprinted quickly, and went straight into the penalty area... When Tyson Chandler flew up, the basketball had been passed to Gasol.
Gasol made an easy layup.
Kobe, Fanci, and Gasol formed an unprecedented relay attack in this round.
The chemical reaction is immediately enhanced.
The home atmosphere at Staples Arena was ignited right from the start.
Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle was confused.
Are the Lakers acting?
Why did Fancy and Bynum break out in the last game, but it was Fancy and Kobe's turn to break out in this game?
What did we do wrong?
Rick Carlisle was speechless.
The Lakers' continuous unconventionality made his pre-game tactical arrangements a mere decoration.
He can't understand the Lakers anymore.
Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the Lakers' "civil strife" to "steal chickens," but now they find that is not the case at all.
The game goes on.
Kobe was more active and fierce on the defensive end. He and Fanshie firmly controlled the Lakers' outside gate. It took Jason Kidd a lot of effort to penetrate the basketball. Then Nowitzki made a layup and Kobe flew in and flanked him...
…boom!
Shooting and hitting the iron.
Fan Xi followed up and got the rebound.
Fanci is like a universal accelerator for the Lakers. Whoever he partners with can enhance the effect.
The Lakers' offense was like a tide pushing toward the Mavericks.
Because of the relationship between Kobe and Bynum, the Lakers are playing particularly aggressively now, and everyone is cautious for fear of getting into trouble.
Phil Jackson is very satisfied with the current results. He has always believed that a team needs internal competition. How can a collective be strong without opposition?
Of course, this scale needs to be controlled.
If the internal division is very serious, the team will collapse. It must be maintained at a competitive level.
This is what the Lakers are like now.
Because of Fan Xi's existence.
After the first quarter, the Lakers led by 5 points. Kobe Bryant was extremely active in the first quarter. As the main attack point, he reduced the number of shots. He gave more of the ball to Fanxi, who let the offense
become smooth.
On the defensive end, the Lakers also played impressively.
In the second quarter, Phil Jackson replaced Andrew Bynum, and Fanci remained on the court.
Bynum sat on the bench for the whole quarter, feeling angry in his stomach.
When he came up, he set up a screen with Fan Xi. Fan Xi took advantage of the situation and rushed into the paint area, turned around and assisted Bynum. Bynum caught the ball and faced Jason Kidd in a misplaced position, and made a powerful two-handed dunk.
After scoring the goal, Bynum looked up to the sky and roared.
He beat his chest like Garnett.
Very passionate.
The home fans also cheered loudly.
The Mavericks were stunned.
The Dallas Mavericks are known for their strong lineup. Their rotation lineup and starting lineup can always be seamlessly connected, and they use continuous tenacity to defeat their opponents.
But now, the Lakers are actually stronger than them.
Ever since it was reported that Kobe and Bynum were having conflicts, the Lakers seem to have split into two teams, both of which are very strong.
Fanxi is compatible with both systems, and Fanxi has improved the Lakers' firepower to a strong level.
"If this continues, the Mavericks' chances of advancing will be very slim."
Commentator Reggie Miller said on ESPN.
The Mavericks themselves have also felt this problem. Rick Carlisle is now so anxious that he doesn't know how to deal with the two lineups of the Lakers.
Finally, he decided to flank Fan Xi.
Fan Xi must be caught as soon as the tactics are initiated.
However, once Fanxi encounters a double attack, he quickly passes the ball and then runs without the ball.
Fanci may not be a superstar who can stand alone, but he is a quasi-star who perfectly fits the Lakers system. His ability without the ball is very good.
After Andrew Bynum failed to post up Tyson Chandler in the penalty area, he passed the basketball to Fanshie who ran out of the space.
Fan Xi catches the ball and shoots... Wow!
Three-point hit.
Rick Carlisle is depressed.
He obviously has three point guards under his command, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, and Jose Barea. They will not suffer any loss against any other team. However, the Lakers just sent out one Fanshie and left them with nothing to do.
"I really can't believe this is the first time in Jack's career that he has played in the playoffs. He even performed better than Kobe Bryant." ESPN host Mike Breen said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Reggie Miller added: "If the Lakers continue to play at this pace and they win the championship, Fanci has a good chance of becoming the finals MVP."
