Chapter 260 [Yang Conspiracy!Soldiers without a fight! 】

Chapter 260 [Yang Conspiracy!Soldiers without a fight! 】

On June 6, the first battle between the two sides was held at the Air Canada Centre Arena, and the fans crowded the arena.

In the visiting team's locker room, Bryant was very upset because Phil Jackson arranged for O'Neal to attack and others looked for opportunities outside.Hubble's bottom line on the right, Rice's right-hand line, and the two and O'Neal formed a triangle.

Rice's long-range shooting is more accurate, so the Lakers generally play this way, while Kobe is active on the other side. When his teammates can't open the ball, he picks up the ball, or plays a pick-and-roll with the power forward on the perimeter to create dislocation opportunities to attack.

Kobe Bryant can also find O'Neal for the low lob. As long as O'Neal moves, the Lakers can easily go to the other side to form a triangle, and the power forward will also follow.

This is Kobe's current tactical position in the Lakers. He played nearly 39 minutes in the regular season and averaged 17.9 shots per game, which is more selfless than the future.It's not that he wants to be selfless, it's that he doesn't have the ball.As long as O'Neal doesn't go, it will be the axis of the Lakers.

Bryant endured it in the regular season, but this playoffs, he played better than the past three years, averaging 23.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.He shot 46.8 percent from the field overall and 35.3 percent from three-point range.

So Kobe raised his hand. "Coach, I think I can take Christie one-on-one, and I can definitely beat that guy."

Jackson shook his head and said sternly: "Kobe, have you ever thought about why Christie would say that? I'm sure Jerry Young asked him to say it, just to lead you to singles, Christie is the Raptors' best defensive player on the perimeter, Even if you want to duel, you have to ask Carter to duel when you counterattack, and it will boost morale."

"What would the media say if I didn't single-handedly take Christie and evade him by covering or counterattacking? Fans would think I was afraid of him," Kobe said loudly.

Jackson was stunned for a moment, realizing that this was not a conspiracy at all, but an overt conspiracy. Kobe would be unlucky if he fought or not, and public opinion would put him under great pressure.He was silent for 15 seconds, unable to figure out how to arrange Kobe.

One-on-one against Christie is to attack the opponent's defensive strong point. It's silly and naive, and the efficiency is difficult to guarantee.

If you don't attack Christie, Kobe will lose face, and public opinion will completely fall on the side of the Raptors.Originally, there were very few people who supported the Lakers online. At that time, Kobe couldn't even hold his fans. The pseudo-fans would definitely feel that he backed away and even feared Christie.

Why is Iverson so popular?Just because he didn't back down no matter who he was defending against, he lost beautifully!

However, no matter how beautiful you lose, you lose.If the Lakers can't win the championship, Kobe will be completely overwhelmed by Carter and will no longer be on the same level.There are a lot of people who think Kobe and Carter are on the same level now because he was named to the All-Defensive First Team.

After he figured it all out, Jackson felt a chill down his spine. Even if he figured it out, he couldn't crack Yang Rui's psychological tactics.

Only 26 years old, is this guy still human?

How could it be possible to calculate to such a point that the Lakers were pinched to the death?

Before the game started, the Lakers had already lost half and fell into the rhythm of the Raptors.

Even O'Neal is not so confident, and he practiced a free throw yesterday.Because Yang Ruixi never finished the game, he indicated that he was going to use the "shark slashing tactics", and the last thing O'Neal wanted to do was get to the free throw line.

The psychological warfare against the two cores of the Lakers has already started, and even the morale of the entire team has been affected.

The most terrifying tactic is not a bloody charge and a tenacious defense; nor is it unity and morale; it is that the enemy can be subdued without confrontation between the two armies.

Soldiers without a fight!

In the end, Jackson decided not to force Kobe to look for cover, and he could go head to head without help.At least, this is in line with the tactical thinking of the triangle offense. What can be achieved depends on Kobe's personal ability.

Jackson is optimistic about Kobe. He has been improving in the past few years, and there is still potential to be tapped. Otherwise, the management will not send Eddie Jones away.

Walking into the court, the Lakers players felt a little dazzling, and it became a purple ocean.

The Raptors management handed out purple commemorative T-shirts to every seat, and the players will also be wearing purple jerseys.The Raptors have been in the league since 1995 and have been wearing purple-dominated jerseys.

In 1997 and 1998, the two brothers McGrady and Carter joined the Raptors one after another. Their elegant style and outstanding ability attracted a large number of fans. The sales of the Raptors' purple No. 1 and No. 15 jerseys remained high.

After the two amazing performances in this year's slam dunk contest, the two purple jerseys of the Raptors have become the most popular items among fans around the world, and they are the symbol of the Raptors.

The appearance ceremony was like an All-Star game. The Raptors took turns to receive applause from the fans. The difference was that Yang Rui was the last to appear.

He wore a full purple suit today, waved at the fans, and the audience burst into cheers.

O'Neal swallowed and spit. For some reason, he was a little flustered when he saw that the Raptors players didn't do well when he played, and when he saw Yang Rui appear with a smile on his face.

After thinking for a minute, he suddenly understood what was going on.

He usually likes to watch movies, especially superhero movies.In Yang Rui's outfit, if he dyed his hair green, painted his face white, and split his lips, he would be like the clown in "Batman".

Yang Rui is not playing cosplay, he just wants to be at home to show that he is with the fans and players.

He doesn't want to be the neurotic villain in "Batman", but it's really easy to be associated with that, because the Penguin is sitting next to him.

More than 100 TV stations broadcast the finals live, and the attention is much higher than that of the Knicks VS Spurs last season. This is the benefit of the attacking team entering the finals.

Zhang of CCTV5 reasonably analyzed the lineup of both sides: "Both teams have superstars in the starting lineup. The Raptors' bench players are stronger and sometimes score no less than the starting lineup. This is their advantage."

Sun Zhengping said: "Christie said before the game that he wanted to guard Kobe Bryant. Kobe did not respond to the media. Today's matchup between the two is a highlight, but I think the Lakers should send Kobe to guard Carter."

Zhang Lili smiled: "Christie is a free agent in the summer. Maybe he wants to prove himself in this way and attract more teams' attention."

After the warm-up, players from both sides played, and the Raptors changed.The starting five: Billups, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., Kevin - Cato.

Lakers starting: Ron Harper, Kobe Bryant, Glen Rice, Ace Green, O'Neal.

Zhang Reasonably analyzed: "Brad Miller didn't start, Yang Rui reused Cato, because his weight and strength are more suitable for defending O'Neal, but he can't organize passes like Miller on offense, nor will he Shoot."

Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Rui often has unexpected tricks, Cato must be a pseudo-starter, and Miller comes off the bench, and the second team's offense will be smoother."

Shaquille O'Neal won by jumping the ball. Kobe was just one step away from receiving the ball when the referee blew the whistle.Both players were dumbfounded.

The audience is also stunned, what's the situation?Did Kobe walk?

Of course it wasn't Kobe walking. The referee gestured for Cato to foul without the ball, and he hugged O'Neal just after jumping the ball.

Watching the replay of the camera on the big screen of the stadium, "Zen Master" Jackson's mouth was opened into an O shape, and the Zen work was broken in two seconds.

On the opposite side, Yang Rui smiled and leaned back and forth. Of course, this was deliberately arranged by him.

David Stern, who was watching live TV, was stunned and couldn't believe what he saw.

"Chopping sharks" as soon as you come up?Are you having fun?
