Chapter 759 For God's sake, please shut up
In the second half, the Pistons only had a 7-point advantage.
When encountering Kobe, who is fully fired, this advantage is not enough for them to keep the fruits of victory.
Kobe hasn't been treated like this in a long time.
Only when the Sharks rest in rotation or choose to rest and not play for weird reasons will he have so much autonomy.
Now the Sharks are not in good shape, their offense is lacking, and their opponent is the Pistons. The Lakers want to win.Therefore, even if doing so would shake the Sharks' status in the team, they resolutely concentrated the ball in Kobe's hands.
Kobe was completely excited, his offense was on the rise, and he began to find his teammates, shooting and passing suddenly, becoming undefensable.
Alan Houston doesn't need to relax his defense against Kobe anymore, because whether he relaxes or not, the result is the same.Kobe is like those ADCs who have been raised by opponents infinitely in the game. The state is so high that it is useless to defend.
After three quarters, the two sides drew 89 to 89.
Kobe scored 46 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in three quarters.
According to this momentum, there is no suspense for 50 points, 60 points depends on the Pistons' defense, and 70 points requires a miracle.
Dor.Mo played a game of chess without telling Westphal. At this moment, their head coach still doesn't know what happened.
Why does Kobe always explode when he meets them?
Westphal couldn't help looking at Mo Mengchen. He didn't know if there were Mo Mengchen's hands and feet in it, but if he was going to do something, he should say hello in advance.
It's not that Mo Mengchen didn't say hello to Westphal in advance. Relaxing his defense against Kobe has been his strategy against the Lakers for a long time, but losing this game was his temporary decision.
The cost of losing this game is that they can only be ranked No.3, which means that there will be two teams with home court advantage going into the playoffs.
That's a big deal for stubborn old-school coaches.
Who would voluntarily give up home court advantage in the playoffs?One more home game increases the chance of qualifying by 25%.
No matter how fans and players deny it, home field advantage is real.
Familiar venues and baskets, enthusiastic fans, a place where you have a sense of belonging, these potential factors that cannot be reflected through data can often determine the victory of a game.
There is no need to say more about the unspoken rule that everyone knows that the referee's whistle will be biased toward the home team.
The semi-finals started with a seven-match four-win system, with one more home game and a little more confidence, and giving up the home game voluntarily. It is difficult for those head coaches who have come from the dark ages, especially players like Westphal who were active in the 70s. accept.
He was holding the idea of winning this game, but at this moment, he was not so sure.
O'Neal performed poorly, but Kobe exploded. He alone offset the three Musketeers outside the Pistons.
Hill was still able to match him, Houston was blasted like no one, and Mo Mengchen also looked depressed.
In the fourth quarter, he didn't replace Mo Mengchen immediately.
He left Mo Mengchen off the court to talk.
"Mo, what's the matter?" asked Westphal, turning.
He didn't even watch the game on the field.
Seeing Westphal's concerned look, Mo Mengchen felt very sorry.
Westphal definitely didn't expect him to give up this game wholeheartedly, because he didn't play well and lacked desire. Based on what Westphal knew about him, he would definitely think that something happened to his family.
"Coach, I'm fine." Mo Mengchen said.
"If you're okay, why have no fighting spirit?" Westphal asked.
Because I think too much.
Mo Mengchen looked at the teammates sitting on the left and right, and paid attention to the teammates who came over. Deliberately losing the game is not an honorable thing, and it is not easy for everyone to know, so he got up and walked to the sidelines.
"I want to lose this game."
The succinct words made Westphal's complexion change several times. He should have thought of this earlier, but it is still difficult for him to accept giving up the home court advantage.
"I can't understand it, but I respect your thoughts. However, when the game is over, you need to tell me exactly what happened." Westphal said.
Mo Mengchen said: "No problem."
Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Bryant's score broke through the 3 mark.
It was a hopeless shot at the buzzer that was successfully defended by the Pistons for 23 seconds.
A ball that should not have any hope was shot by Kobe in a way that was twisted to make people frown.
Then hit.
Individual 51 points.
96 is better than 94
The Lakers have surpassed the Pistons by 2 points, and Kobe's state is so hot that he can no longer be guarded.
Alan Houston and Ricky Davis' defense simply didn't work.
Westphal asked for a timeout, replaced Houston with Mo Mengchen, and then put Hill on Kobe.
Mo Mengchen hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, helping the Pistons to overtake.
97 is better than 96
Dor.Mo responded to him with a ball, and Hill took the initiative to defend. For Kobe, what could be more exciting than this?
Hill is the number one small forward in the league, and Dor.Mo was the No.1 player in the league last season and the most influential among active players.
He receives the pass and calls O'Neal for a pick-and-roll.
Unwillingly, the shark dragged its body forward and blocked Hill.His pick-and-roll didn't work at all, and Devil Mountain followed Kobe with a light circle.
Hill tried his best to restrain Kobe, he seemed to have forgotten what Mo Mengchen told him.
Kobe's speed is not as fast as Iverson's, and his physical fitness is slightly inferior to Jordan's, but the combination of the two makes him the most Jordan-like of all active No. 2 positions.
Hill's block was already in front of his face. If someone else would just pass the ball, Kobe, who was so red-eyed, didn't pay attention to this kind of defense. Hit the basket under the watchful eye.
"This guy is unstoppable!" Walton increasingly felt that Kobe was the second guard on earth.
At this time, his Twitter has been captured by New York fans.Fans' swear words and rebuttals increased at a rate of a thousand per second.
98 is better than 97
"Give me the ball, Daddy," Hill yelled.
What is a profession?This is called professionalism.
Mo Mengchen suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to let Houston play Kobe all the time. If Hill played, maybe the effect would be better.
Only his point-to-point matchup can force Kobe at full strength.
After halftime, Mo Mengchen passed the ball to Hill, and then walked to the left three-point line and stood alone.
His silence puzzled his opponent.
Brian Xiao felt like he was dreaming, he didn't expect Mo Mengchen to be so desireless.
You know, this game is not only related to the ranking of the second and third in the Eastern Conference, but also related to the ranking of the second and third in the league.
Now the Pistons, Lakers, and Knicks have the same wins.The Knicks' regular season has been played, and the record has been fixed, and the winner between the Pistons and the Lakers will become the second in the league.
If the Pistons win, they will not only surpass the Knicks, but also surpass the Lakers in the West and become second in the league.
If the Lakers win, they will secure the second place in the league.
For the Pistons, if this happens, they will have no home court advantage in every round of the series from the semifinals until the finals.
With Dor.Mo's style, why does it behave like this?
Xiao couldn't understand, he only hoped that this situation would last longer.
A peaceful Dor.Mo is the best Dor.Mo.
Hill attacked hard and scored a goal against Kobe with a backhand.
Kobe got excited, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and pulled up a chasing three-pointer.
Unfortunately, Mo Mengchen grabbed the defensive rebound and pushed for a counterattack.Kobe returned to the defense in time, but Mo Mengchen made a false move while defending, and the latter scored a layup.
100 is better than 97
With the point difference reaching 3 points, Mo Mengchen seemed to have finally found the switch to attack.
The voices of Auburn Hills came one after another, and the fans hoped that the team would kill the Lakers in one go.
Kobe called for the pick-and-roll again. This time, what he wanted was not O'Neal's pick-and-roll, but the pick-and-roll of Al Harrington, who has been firmly established as the starting power forward this season.
Harrington's pick-and-roll fell, and Rashid decisively flanked Kobe because he didn't like passing the ball.
Kobe accidentally passed the ball to Harrington outside the three-point line. The young genius lived up to Kobe's trust and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.
100 flats.
Mo Mengchen gave Hill another shot, and Devil Mountain missed a shot.
Unknowingly, halfway through the fourth quarter, Kobe is the only core of the Lakers, his state tonight is chilling.
Devil Mountain and Peter Pan face off again.
Also known as Jordan's successor, the two have completely different personalities.
"I'll bury you!" Kobe growled.
Hill made a defensive posture wordlessly, keeping up with Kobe every step of the way. He deserved to be selected to the All-Defensive Team for four consecutive years.
Now he is not only the number one small forward in the league, but also the leading perimeter defensive gate after Scott Pippen.
Rao is a gatekeeper like him, but it is still powerless to match the current Kobe.
Hill obviously couldn't prevent Kobe's shot, but he didn't relax every moment.
"What do you need me to do?"
At the end of the first half, he asked Mo Mengchen in the player tunnel.
Kobe's attacking momentum overwhelmingly suppressed Hill, and this kind of momentum that can only be seen in the pinnacle of Jordan.
In an instant, Hill followed, and the defense was still in place, but Kobe was too good at shooting in this situation.
Extreme shot, hit again.
"You don't need to release the water, just fight him with all your strength."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll screw up your plan?"
When Hill said this, he could clearly feel that Mo Mengchen was holding back his laughter.
Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear and clear.
No matter what he does, Kobe will only get better.
His earnestness, his rivalry, and his all-out attack and defense are just adding fuel to the fire.
The Lakers returned to defense, and Hill looked at the ball on the ground, a little numb.
Mo Mengchen deliberately went to the basket to serve, and now there are only two people here, he and Hill.
"Good job, mom." Dor.Mo praised.
"Please shut up," Hill said angrily, "For God's sake."
Of course it's not impossible to shut up.Mo Mengchen smiled and sent out the ball.
But not for god's sake, but for the sake of trying your best and still being blown up by Kobe.
