Chapter 502 The Number One Killer

Updated: 2013-05-25

Phil Jackson must not hear what Auerbach and Tacanian said, but he stood in the rest area and looked at the players in front of him, and could also feel the pressure brought by the game just now.

This guy from the Lakers can win and lose with the Spurs for seven games. He is not a group of men who can be easily knocked down. Even if the atmosphere in the North Shore Garden Arena is suffocating, they are not scared by such a home atmosphere. On the offensive end, they can create a great threat.

But the Celtics' counterattack just now really made Lakers players feel overwhelmed on the defensive end.

Especially Gasol, who is inside, is really helpless. He has already struggled to face Garnett, but if there is a more aggressive madman around him, this is not something that the Spaniards can defend!

Originally, in this acre of three-point land in NBA, Gasol was not a very tough inside player. Although he was not so soft, if he fought with a standard muscular man, he would definitely die very miserably.

This is the disadvantage of the European insider. They are either very big but suffer from moving, or they are physically standard. But when facing a big man with a tendon, they become timid. Gasol belongs to the latter.

Especially after Bynum left the field, the Celtics' inside line made continuous breakthroughs! It was because Gasol could not withstand it. It was not that this guy's personality was so soft, but that his opponent was really too fierce!

If you have nothing to do, you have to face a situation where a double ghost slams the door. No one can stand it! Besides, one is more cruel than the other, which makes Gasol's little heart thump, thump, and jump around.

Needless to mention the players, even he himself can feel the pressure from the Celtics. Crazy fans are one aspect, and Rivers' ruthless counterattack posture is what makes the "Zen Master" tighten the heart the most.

As a novice, Rivers' response speed is too fast and too accurate, as if he was expected to do this with the Lakers. This feeling made Jackson a little unacceptable, or more shocked.

If Jackson is facing an old guy like Auerbach now, maybe all changes will be understandable.

But when he met Rivers at this moment, Jackson was more or less a bit superior in experience, but now he didn't feel that way. Rivers was not that kind of young novice.

He was not only very experienced in commanding on the spot, but at least he was very precise in dealing with it and knew what he should do!

Facing such an opponent, Jackson could no longer be despised. He also stood by the finals field. The fat guy was no worse than the "Zen Master" who already had nine rings.

I originally planned to curb the Celtics' impact at the opponent's home court, but my response was not only to fail to suppress the opponent, but to ignite the offensive desire of the animals!

I want to rely on defense to press the opponent near the three-second zone, and then push the Celtics' offense outward. Now, Rivers's strategy is to throw all the offense to the inside as much as possible to solve it!

If you want to block it, block it! Rivers didn't agree to such an assumption! Wherever you block it, smash it open!

As a result, these Celtics' livestock really made a gap in the Lakers' inside line!

The result of this situation is the three-point gap after the first quarter and the suppression of momentum. Putting aside the home atmosphere, just looking at the players on both sides is the two mental states.

Originally, at the opening stage, the Lakers played with great momentum, especially after Kobe tear opens the gap, and Gasol once suppressed the Celtics very much after he singled Chen Feng with the ball on his back.

But Chen Feng's counterattack was too fierce, and after Webber came up, he completely activated the inside line, which not only made Bynum now have to squat on the bench and squat on the bench as a spectator.

It even put Gasol in a strong impact. Odom couldn't help at all. He was already worried about being busy with Weber. Such passiveness made the Celtics' momentum begin to counter-press.

It cannot be said that the Lakers are at a weak stage now, but the "Zen Master" is very clear that if the game is still in this situation in the second quarter, then the Lakers' collapse will be a matter of time sooner or later.

Not to mention that this is on the away game, even at home, it will still be beaten by the opponent. The loss of power in the inside has affected the team's operation. If the shooting rate on the offensive end has fluctuated, there is no need to play in this game.

If it weren't for the offense in the first quarter, the Lakers might have fallen behind more than three points, but how long can this offensive efficiency last? When Phil Jackson stopped on the sidelines, he was already considering these things.

Fisher and Odom's three-pointers are not considered conventional weapons, and you can't always expect miracles.

Odom made a foul, Gasol made a once, Bynum made two. The Lakers' three major inside players are now facing the threat of excessive fouls, especially Bynum. It is still unknown how long this guy can play in the second quarter. If he is pushed back to the bench again, Gasol's defensive pressure will definitely increase sharply.

If the inside is completely beaten by the opponent, then the tragedy of the Celtics killing the Pistons and killing the Cavaliers may have happened to the Lakers. Phil Jackson does not plan to be a bad guy right now.

In the first quarter, everyone is testing, looking for solutions, and finding opportunities to crack. Then when the second quarter starts, real swords and guns will become more frequent.

If one side cannot withstand it, the final trend of the game will be finalized. At that time, no matter whether you are a "Zen Master" or someone else, you will definitely not have the chance to turn around and make a comeback.

In the second quarter, we can't continue like this. Phil Jackson needs to change and find other ways to release pressure on the inside. If Gasol is defeated, the Lakers' inside will face unpreparedness.

Don’t think that Garnett and Chen Feng will miss the opportunity to ravage the basket. Those two madmen might smash the rebound! Not to mention that it is impossible, Chen Feng’s heavy dunk just now made the basket almost deformed!

"Calm down, guys, the game was not bad just now. We were only three points behind and could get it back in one attack. So don't take these to heart. This is just the end of the first quarter. There are more than 30 minutes left. We will take the lead again. Don't consider other issues, I will solve it."

It is said that Phil Jackson is a psychologist. In fact, this old guy can only use slow speech speed to relieve the burden on others. It is not a magical way, but his calmness can be transmitted to others.

Although at this time, he could feel the pressure he was under at the North Shore Garden Arena, he could still calmly relieve the emotional restlessness of the players.

If the coach, the backbone, may be stable, the generals under his command will be quiet. This is the case with the Lakers now. Their mood, which was disrupted by the Celtics just now, began to calm down.

However, this does not mean that you can defeat your opponent by calmness. The "Zen Master" needs to find a way to break the deadlock. If you want to take the initiative again, you always need to find a suitable key.

But Bynum can only squat on the bench at this moment, and the inside is suppressed very well. If you want to find the opponent's weakness, you can only make trouble in other directions. If you want to open up the situation within the three-point line, it is no longer realistic to expect a big man, but the "Zen Master" still needs more auxiliary power to pull away the Celtics' defense!

"Vladimir, you are going to replace Turiav, but your task is not in the inside. I need you to be able to move around a large scale on the outside, try to pull the opponent's defense out of the inside!"

Turiaf, who had just replaced Bynum, was replaced by Radmanovic by Jackson. The bearded guy had a little bit of tendon, but not enough for Garnett and Chen Feng to see. Just now, this guy scored a rebound in three minutes on the court, which was optional in the inside.

Jackson is looking for a way to break the deadlock now, so he didn't plan to let this guy stay on the field and be a slut. Since the inside fight can't get the advantage, then send a big pitcher to it!

Aren’t you Celtics going to block the inside line? Then I’ll prepare a big turret for you on the periphery!

Although Radmanovic's offense has not reached the accuracy of the sky, with such a 2.08-meter-long big guy swaying on the outside, will the Celtics' defense dare not follow?

Don't forget that Radmanovic's three-point shooting percentage is at least 40%.

If there is no one to defend, this guy can really make a few shots, but Jackson would not naively think that the previous person can change the whole situation. He just wants Radmanovic to pull the defense away.

It’s not about tearing the Celtics’ defense apart. He doesn’t have that ability, but at least he has to attract a big guy from the inside, and it’s best to pull him near the three-point line!

Space! What Jackson needs now is enough space. This is not the time when he blocked the three-second zone just now. Now, he wants to make the area near the three-second zone a vacuum zone.

An area where people can freely enter! Because Jackson is holding the sharpest weapon in his palm!

The Lakers' substitution adjustment has just been made, and Rivers is still thinking about it. It is impossible for him to be the Prophet every time.

But the attack from the Purple and Gold Legion has begun! As soon as the second quarter started, it was less than thirty seconds.

It was originally the Celtics' offensive time, but as soon as Pierce received the ball, Fisher and Kobe rushed up to join in! Before Pierce could react, Kobe slapped the basketball away.

The Lakers' subsequent advancement was surprisingly fast, and Fisher only controlled the basketball slightly, and without any hesitation, he threw the basketball directly to the frontcourt.

Kobe is already in the high-speed start, Pierce and Ray Allen are catching up, but after all, they are one step slower, so they can only watch Kobe catch the ball without any obstacles, take the ball, and slash with one hand!

Regain two points! The Lakers' offensive speed is too fast! The Celtics have no time to set up defense, but this is not the only counterattack of the Purple and Gold Legion!

Ray Allen turned around and served to the bottom line, but Fisher shook the front point, and the "Gentleman Sword" slipped in his hand. He was about to throw the pass to Weber, so he threw it out.

Turn around and intercept the ball! This time Odom was finally not stunned, and he reacted very quickly. He turned around and waved his hand and directly drove the basketball racquet away!

Kobe's starting speed was like lightning at this time, and Chen Feng's reaction was very fast, but Kobe was still the closest person to basketball. He snatched the ball before the basketball rolled out of the bottom line and grabbed the ball in his hand.

"Black Mamba" could not stop his pace at this time. Chen Feng had just posted it on the other side, but Kobe had moved. He slipped straight to the bottom line with his right foot as the axis.

Chen Feng's position failed to block Kobe's bottom line, so he could only watch the guy complete an accurate backhand layup on the other side of the basket!

Twenty-one second! Four points in a row! A fierce black Mamba has already revealed his poisonous fangs! He gave the Celtics a head-on blow!

The most fierce weapon in Jackson's hand is now starting to shine with his dazzling light! On the floor of the North Shore Garden Arena, Kobe, who was carrying the No. 8 uniform, stared at his prey like a poisonous snake...
