Chapter 730 [Team 2 Is the Best! No One Will Be Refused! 】

No matter what Kobe was thinking, the Lakers performed well in February during the regular season, and Jeremy Lin, who fans hoped would be selected as an All-Star, was completely reduced to a loser.

He averaged 21 minutes per game in this series, made 1.5 shots in 6 attempts, with a shooting percentage of 25%, made 0.5 three-pointers in 3 attempts, with a shooting percentage of 17%, and averaged 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

The reason Jeremy Lin can get so much playing time is that Scott feels that Nash's defense is not good enough, but Jeremy Lin's defense is not much better either.

Nash's data dropped to 10 points and 4.5 assists, and he does not seem to be a qualified starting point guard.

The two must take responsibility for the defeat. Kobe yelled several times on the court, dissatisfied with their defense.

Westbrook performed amazingly in this game, making 15 of 26 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, scoring 37 points, 2 rebounds, and 5 assists; Durant made 10 of 18 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and free throws. 8 of 10, 31 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists.

Kobe, who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team several times, will not let his opponent score easily. He defended well this time and only allowed his opponent 2 points against Sefolosha; Harden only made 2 of 11 shots and 6 of 3-pointers. 1. He scored 12 points by making 7 of 8 free throws.

The fifth game was played at the Thunder's home court. They didn't give the Lakers another chance. They defended Kobe alone and strictly guarded against outside three-pointers. They easily won 106-90.

Kobe continued to play the lone hero, making 18 of 33 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 42 points and 5 rebounds. It's a pity that his teammates didn't give Kobe enough support. The most intuitive manifestation is that Kobe didn't have any assists, and he couldn't make a shot when he passed the ball.

The Lakers were upset and eliminated by the Thunder 1-4.

Kobe averaged more than 25 shots per game in the series, the best data of the two teams; Gasol only took about 10 shots and averaged close to a double-double per game; Love took 13 shots and averaged 15 points and 12 rebounds per game; others He took less than 10 shots and was "sleepwalking" on the court.

In particular, Gerald Wallace, introduced by the Lakers in the mid-term, played 20 minutes, 5.1 points, 3.7 assists and 2.2 assists, a pure blue-collar performance.

After the game, the reason Comey gave to his boss was that Kobe had played with an injured leg for a whole season, and the bone spurs in his feet pierced his sneakers. Even so, he still dared to take responsibility. Others did not dare to take action, so he could only take action.

The reason why the Lakers lost was that Love and Gasol were in declining condition and couldn't grab offensive rebounds. Luol Deng and Gerrard couldn't make three-pointers. Nash and Love were defensive holes, etc...

The responses online are also very interesting.

"Yeah, you're in terminal condition. Your leg is so badly injured that you have to use a cane to pee even when you get up at four in the morning. However, your lower body is disabled and your upper body can't stop hammering."

"On the defensive end, Kobe defended against nine, and on the offensive end, nine people were double-teaming him. Only bald referee Crawford could give him some help. With so much pressure, it is normal for his shooting percentage to be low."

"Because Kobe is injured, so he averages 25+ shots per game? If he is not injured, does everyone not come to the arena and just stay at home and watch his performance on TV?"

At the press conference, Byron Scott said that the loss was due to poor defense, but Love did not take the blame, which showed that someone was too independent. He was only a role player with the ball and should not be responsible for the team's failure.

Luol Deng, a pure blue-collar player who averaged only 7 shots per game, was more direct: "I wanted to leave the Lakers last season because of the lockout. I have to leave this summer. It doesn't matter where I go. I've had enough."

The next day, ESPN basketball experts listed several statistics to explain the reasons for the Lakers' defeat.

The fourth quarters of games 2, 3, and 4 were all critical moments. In the fourth quarters of these three games, Kobe's performance was 2 of 7 shots, 2 of 7 shots, and 2 of 10 shots, with a shooting percentage of 25%. .

The even colder data is that with 2 minutes and 8 seconds left in the second game, the Lakers held a 7-point advantage at 75-68. Then Kobe made 0 of 5 consecutive single shots and made two turnovers. The Thunder took the opportunity to tie at 75-75. In the end, Durant made a sure-shot throw, and the Thunder won 77-75.

There was an official timeout with 8:19 left in the fourth game, and Kobe went into battle. At that time, the Lakers led 89 to 78 by 11 points. It was endless fun to fight between the sky and the earth and the people. As of 1 minute left in the game, he made a total of 1 of 7 shots, leading the Thunder to tie the score.

In the last minute, there was Gasol's pass error that everyone criticized and Durant's three-pointer. Kobe also stole the spotlight and made 1 of 3 shots to help the Thunder seal the victory. The one he scored was irrelevant to the outcome of the game. Buzzer...

ESPN concluded that Kobe is a cancer, even the most cancerous in the league.

If Kobe is not a cancer, what should other players do to deserve this title?

When Kobe was out, the Lakers players looked like a bunch of stars. When he returned, "F7" became "F1."

A reporter approached Yang Rui after the Clippers training and hoped that he could comment on Kobe.

Yang Rui knew what everyone wanted to hear. Bickering was always the media's favorite, but he didn't say it clearly.

He replied: "Excellent players have different ways to excel, such as defense, organization, scoring, shooting three-pointers, etc. There is actually only one kind of cancer, which is the person who destroys the team system. You can judge based on this. Don't ask me who it is. It’s a cancer, I don’t care.”

This year, Yang Rui doesn’t want to say too much to offend Kobe Bryant or Comey.

The Clippers are no less competitive than the Lakers in the Los Angeles market, ranking among the top three in the league in attendance, and their style of play attracts fans. In Yang Rui's previous life, 2012 was the last playoffs of Kobe's career. In 2013, the Lakers reversed the Jazz at the last moment and entered the playoffs. Kobe did not play due to injury.

The Lakers have a different lineup, and the situation has not changed much. As long as the most critical system destroyer is in the team, they will accept all comers and become CBA teammates. Yang Rui does not believe that the Lakers can turn around in the short term.

Kobe is not as willing to give up the ball and support new players as Duncan is. As long as he averages more than 20 shots per game, the Lakers must have the league's strongest inside lineup and excellent three-point shooters to lead Kobe to win.

This group of people must also be "Lei Fengxia" who do not need honor, because they will definitely be evaluated as hugging Kobe's thigh; if they lose, they will become "scapegoats" again, because they will probably be evaluated as "failure to give" Kobe is supportive enough, but his defense is too poor, etc.

Are these legs so huggable? Kobe's bone spurs have grown to his thighs, so he has to be comfortable with them.

In the Eastern Conference competition, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 4-2 and took the lead in advancing to the conference finals. Jennings's boast of eliminating the Cavaliers in six games became a joke.

Millsap performed amazingly in the fourth game at home. He hit four three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 35 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists to lead the team to win, once leveling the score at 2-2. Unfortunately, Jennings was too bad in the last two games, shooting less than 30% from the field and only scoring 8 and 11 points. The Raptors were unfortunately eliminated.

In a duel between 2 and 3 players, the Pacers defeated the Nets 4-3.

The Pacers have an advantage in the swingman lineup, George Hill also performed well against Deron, and the Nets' advantage lies in Yao Ming.

Some people always say that Hibbert is the "black Yao name". When the two of them faced off, Hibbert was no match at all. In the series, Yao Ming averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 49.7% from the field and 35% from the three-point range.

Hibbert only had 8 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist, and his shooting percentage was 44.9%. A 218cm big man, but his shooting percentage from outside was completely blown away.

Although Yao Ming was eliminated, his popularity has not diminished, and his performance entering the playoffs is remarkable.

Hibbert also has a chance to prove himself. If he can face Bosh most of the time in the next series, he will have an advantage playing to the basket.

If he faces Varejao, he will not be able to perform so easily.
