Chapter two hundred and seventy-fifth [Jedi hit the street]
The situation was very unfavorable to the Lakers, and the news the next day was even more unfavorable to Kobe. △
Many people, including Los Angeles media, began to condemn Kobe, saying that he did not pass the ball to O'Neal and took too many shots.
It's okay if you don't pass the ball and shoot. Kobe's shooting percentage is less than 30% in two games, and O'Neal's shooting percentage is 70%, which is too big.
Some fans on the Internet listed Kobe's data from the first three finals, saying that he was simply unreliable at critical moments.
In 2000, Kobe averaged 18 shots per game against the Pacers, ranking second in the Lakers, with 33 of 90 shots, with a shooting percentage of 36.6%;
Except Kobe, Lakers players made 213 of 422 shots, with a shooting percentage of 50.47%.
In 2001, Kobe averaged 21.2 shots against the 76ers, ranking second in the Lakers, with 44 shots in 106, with a shooting percentage of 41.51%; except Kobe, Lakers players other than Kobe made 137 of 283 shots, with a shooting percentage of 48.41%.
In 2002, Kobe averaged 17.5 shots per game against the Nets, ranking second in the Lakers, with 36 shots in 70, with a shooting percentage of 51.43%; except Kobe, Lakers players other than Kobe made 110 of 219 shots, with a shooting percentage of 50.23%.
Except in 2002, which is known as the most disparity in the finals, Kobe's shooting percentage is lower than that of the entire team. When he made fewer shots than O'Neal, he won at least the championship. This year, Kobe's shot number one in the team, and the Lakers were beaten 2-0 by the Nets.
The media came to a conclusion that if Kobe continued to commit suicide like this, the Lakers would almost be swept.
Of course, Komi would not admit this argument. He posted online that Kobe is a meaningless fighter and his teammates dared not stand up and score. He took on more offensive responsibilities and wanted to win the strongest.
As an outside line, it seems to be a natural fit for a low shooting percentage, and it doesn't make sense to compare with the inside line. Because Kobe's shooting distance is much further than O'Neal. Unfortunately, he can't win the game with the best five goals, and his goal is as beautiful as an ordinary shooting score.
In addition, Payton was criticized by experts. He averaged less than 5 shots per game. Xia Tian came to the Lakers for the championship, but his performance was not consistent with the pursuit of the championship.
Many people want to know what happened in the Lakers' locker room. Is the conflict between players more important than winning the championship?
However, no news leaked, and coach Jackson and O'Neal were silent.
No longer burst out in silence, but perish in silence.
Wang Jun's popularity has increased again. The "anti-king" who was hit and dared not show up in the comment section. A black Wang Jun would be treated as a rat crossing the street and everyone would be beaten.
No matter whether Wang Jun can win MVP or not, he is an important scoring point for the Nets and is qualified to start.
The most important thing is that Wang Jun is Chinese. If the Chinese do not support Chinese players and support American devils, are you sick?
The net team took a flight to Los Angeles and took a break the next day.
Although there is no order to prohibit the family from traveling, the players still stay in the hotel to regain their strength and prepare for the game.
Kidd talked to everyone and suggested that everyone not spend their energy on fun and welcome the away game in the best condition.
Kidd is a cautious person. He doesn't want to see any accidents happening. He is low-key on the surface, but in fact he hopes to win the third battle in his heart. Then it will be foolproof.
On the 10th, the fourth battle between the two sides began.
The Lakers' opening ceremony was much more grand. Lakers' meritorious players "Magic" Johnson, "Tian Gou" Jabbar and "Cobra" Worcy made a symbolic jump.
Hollywood stars Jack Nicholson, Hoffman, Stallone and others also came to watch the game. The front row was a beautiful scenery.
After the opening, the Lakers allowed people to see changes.
Kobe reduced his shots and began to pass O'Neal. He broke through and immediately divided the ball when facing double teams, waiting for opportunities on the periphery, and played very patiently.
I lost two games in a row, and I can't do it if I don't work hard when I go back to home.
The Lakers encountered trouble when lobing O'Neal. The Nets began to defend O'Neal around the front, and the two insides doubled the team, emptying one side of the bottom corner, allowing George to shoot.
A surprise victory, the Nets disrupted the Lakers' pre-match deployment in this way.
Kidd is a man who plays with his brain. He will predict opponents' tactics before the game and then make suggestions. Lawrence immediately adopted it as a cheap puppet coach and achieved good results.
Three minutes after the game started, O'Neal received a pass from Payton and scored two points in a dunk.
O'Neal practiced free throws hard before the game, but the Nets suddenly stopped "cutting the shark", which made him very depressed.
There is a reason why the Nets do this. The Lakers have home advantage and star whistle. If they cut O'Neal at the beginning, the referee will increase this scale and it will be difficult to play in the future. If they want to cut, they have to try to delay until the last quarter.
Kobe scored, but the Lakers didn't open the score, and the role players fell into a scoring drought. The Lakers took an average shot in the first quarter, and the problem of not having three points could not be solved.
Kobe continued to play in the second quarter, mainly breaking through and passing the ball according to the coach's arrangement, and only made one three-pointer, which was missed by interference.
He really wanted to win and became selfless, but O'Neal was double-teamed, the Lakers' offense worse than the previous two games, Jackson lost his temper off the court and failed to adjust.
In the midfield, the Nets led 45 to 30.
O'Neal, who scored the most points in the Lakers, scored 8 points. If Rush and George hadn't each scored two three-pointers, the game would have been impossible to watch.
Kobe only made one jump shot and two free throws scored 4 points.
Zhang Heliqi said: "This game is a bit incomprehensible. The Lakers have to win at least two home courts before they can win the championship. Now they have no energy at all, and they are not like a team that wants to compete for the championship."
Yu Jia shook his head: "It's not that he is bored, it's that he can't break the joint defense. The Nets shrink, and the Lakers have to make a shot on the outside. Fisher can't find a star in this series, and the Lakers have no pure pitchers at all."
Everyone thought the Lakers would fight back, but they failed, and O'Neal didn't work anymore.
In the second half, O'Neal made a foul and went to the free throw line. Several players stood in place to prepare for rebounds. Kobe muttered to himself: "I bet a dollar and he won't get the penalty."
Wang Jun next to him immediately replied, "I bet ten yuan and he won't get the penalty."
When O'Neal shot and shot.
The curse was successful, Wang Jun smiled and raised his right hand, preparing to celebrate with his teammates around him. He turned his head and found that it was Kobe who was speaking.
Kobe was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked like Ruda looking at Zhen Guanxi, feeling like he wanted to chop O'Neal into sausage, throw it on Wang Jun's face, and then fuck him to death with three punches.
Wang Jun felt so furious when he was seen, so he quickly put down his hand and turned his head away.
Everyone is in an outrageous state. How could the Lakers win?
In the last quarter, Kobe's team was already 20 points behind, and he made more shots. He shot 8, scored 4 goals, and missed all four shots from outside the three-point line.
Barkley said the key: "If you want to win the Nets, you have to compete with them for three-pointers. Without three-pointers, you can't break the joint defense. Four people all retreated to the penalty area. Michael (Jordan) couldn't break in even if he came."
Since the joint defense was allowed, basketball has been different from the 1980s and 1990s. Even traditional coaches like Sloan have begun to let players practice three-pointers, but they can't do without three-pointers.
The Lakers knew this and made adjustments. They scored only 6 goals in the game. The Nets scored 33 goals in the outside world and scored 14 goals in this item alone. The Lakers were 24 points behind.
