Chapter 185 Phil Jackson's Trap
Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, and is known as the "City of Angels". At night, Los Angeles is brightly lit, and there are many high-rise buildings. The gorgeous lights are matched with the starry sky at night.
But Gao Tian has no time to relax. Tonight's game against the Lakers is very important. As long as he wins this game, this round of the series can be declared over, and the Suns can spend more time on the players' rest and Take care of yourself.
But the Lakers also know this truth. No team has ever been able to comeback from a 0:3 deficit. If they lose this game again, the team's management can prepare for the draft.
This is especially true for the Lakers fans. They came to the arena early in the morning to cheer for the team. The Staples Arena was dyed golden yellow by the enthusiastic Lakers fans. Lakers jersey fans.
They are ready to interfere with the Suns players in the game, even if it can't do much, but they want the Lakers players to feel their enthusiasm, they don't believe the Lakers will lose this game, you know, They have Kobe!
But unfortunately, they also only have one Kobe.
"This game will be very difficult. The Lakers will not let us win the match point easily, so boys, I hope we can work together to win this game and not leave the unsolved case in the next game!"
D'Antoni's speech was full of confidence. Looking at the players around him who were also shining with confidence, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After the first two games, the Suns players have already liked this kind of game. After firmly controlling everything and reaping the victory, they already have enough confidence to win all difficult games!
But this game must not be taken lightly. Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone the Lakers with the black mamba. If they are careless in the game, they may lose this one-hearted Lakers home There is no doubt that the Lakers, who have the advantage in this game, will use all their strength to defeat the Suns. There is no better opportunity than this.
Gao Tian looked at Kobe, who had been pursing his lips since he entered the field, and the Lakers players beside him who were also unsmiling. He knew that there might be some suspense in today's game. Either win or go home, nothing else. The Lakers who chose the best choice will definitely fight hard. Look, Gao Tian smiled slightly with his teammates who were also dignified, so what if the beast is still fighting?
Everything is nothingness in the face of absolute strength.
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers showed a completely different fighting spirit from their previous two games. Under the leadership of the team's star Kobe Bryant, the Lakers began to press the Suns. Although Phil Jackson knew that pressing was not a good idea. But even if he has a better way, the current conditions of the Lakers can't meet his minimum requirements. As a head coach, no matter how good he is, he can only stare blankly if he doesn't have suitable players in his hands. Cooking without rice!
Although full-court pressing seems like a stupid move against a flexible team like the Suns, the Suns players who have not experienced full-court pressing for a long time were a little confused by the Lakers players who have been defending closely all the time. In the first quarter, he was forced to make several mistakes, which made D'Antoni touch his chin subconsciously, looking at Stotts who was also in deep thought beside him, D'Antoni smiled and asked: "Why, what do you think we should do?" Break his trick?"
"Crack? No need at all!"
Stotts smiled and said, "We'll just wait."
"Haha."
D'Antoni and Stotts looked at each other and smiled. Obviously they thought of it together. This kind of full-court pressing is very exhausting. Even if the Lakers can take the advantage in this way, how much energy will their main force have in the fourth quarter?
The choice of the Lakers players to press means that they will be easily broken through. For NBA players, their ability to grasp the timing is unimaginable to ordinary people. They often need to make choices in a split second, and the consequence of pressing failure is Was broken, so the Lakers fans on the field watched worriedly one after another Suns player broke through the Lakers' defense and went straight to the basket. Isn't this a point?
Phil Jackson is afraid of the Suns' three-pointers. He would rather give up the basket than give the Suns players a chance to shoot a three-pointer, and the Lakers have Odom and Kwame Brown guarding the basket, even if the Suns players If you go in, you will find that layups are not so easy. There are fierce Lakers inside in front, followed by defensive players. For a while, the Suns players don't know how to choose.
The coach's arrangement is to pass the ball as much as possible to make a three-pointer, but the players who came to the free throw line looked at the Lakers players who had been unable to come out of the basket. They hesitated. This was almost an open opportunity, so they still chose to step in. In the trap set by Phil Jackson, a large number of long two-pointers were shot.
D'Antoni knew what Phil Jackson meant, he didn't expect this guy to be so bold, he emptied the free throw line to the three-point line, and let the Suns step into this seemingly beautiful trap, but D'Antoni didn't intend to What to change, Phil Jackson is betting that the efficiency of the Suns' two-pointers is far less than three-pointers, and he is betting that the physical strength of the Lakers' players will have problems in the fourth quarter.
Seeing that the scores of the two sides have been staggered, in the second half of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson smiled at D'Antoni with a serious expression. The current Lakers' offensive firepower has not diminished at all compared to the beginning. They have that winning black mamba!
Seeing that Kobe scored another extremely difficult turnaround jumper, D'Antoni shook his head. He really didn't expect that Kobe could use all his firepower on the offensive end when the defensive end was pressing. Kobe D'Antoni, with bloodshot eyes, knows how terrible Kobe is now.
He admits that he missed a move in this gamble, but it doesn't mean that he will give up easily. If it was the old Sun, he might really have to watch Kobe fall into a no-man's land on the head of the Sun. Up to get points, but now they have high heaven!
You have Kobe, but we also have Gao Tian, who is afraid of whom?
In the last 3 minutes, the Lakers held a five-point lead under Kobe's explosion, and the atmosphere at the Staples Center seemed to change when D'Antoni signaled to pull away to let Gao Tian single.
"brush!"
Pushing away Wharton, Gao Tian made another three-pointer and tied the score again under Wharton's humiliating gaze. Gao Tian looked up at the timer. There was less than 1 minute left, watching Kobe want to eat Gao Tian smiled at him.
