Chapter 882 Four All-Stars!

"This season is not the only one for the Lakers!" Barkley and Kenny Smith looked very excited in front of the commentary desk.

finally!

The Lakers have swept the league for nearly two months!

This game proved that the Lakers are not invincible!

Finally there is a team that can suppress the Lakers technically and tactically!

The Lakers were targeted.

If they can't break free in the second half, I'm afraid the next game will end with the Heat winning and stopping the Lakers' 25-game winning streak.

The Miami fans on the sidelines also started singing and dancing!

Anyone who has played Grand Theft Auto knows that the city of Miami is the stronghold of Mexicans, and these fans sing and dance when they are happy.

Of course, Miami fans are also notoriously weak when facing headwinds.

Often the Miami fans who are lagging behind turn around and leave before the game is over.

"What should I do?" Mustache D'Antoni looked calm, but the sweat on his forehead showed his impatience.

There is no pick-and-roll wall like Yao Ming in running and gunning!

On the defensive end, Nash was endlessly targeted by Eddie Jones and Wade!

The score was slowly opening up, but D'Antoni had no idea how to respond.

"Timeout!" Kobe grabbed Eddie Jones' rebound and couldn't help but call a timeout.

Lakers 71:79 Heat!

The Lakers were really in a mess in the second half!

chaos!

If it was Harris at this time, he would have called a timeout to adjust, but D'Antoni did not respond, and Kobe had to call a timeout himself.

Mustache D'Antoni's on-the-spot response is still too poor!

"Bruce comes on! Do you have any problem dealing with the old Malone?" Kobe grabbed the tactical board again.

D'Antoni, who had seen such scenes countless times next to Harris, smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Even Silver Fox Harris is willing to let Kobe adjust his tactics, why shouldn't he listen.

Ewing, Brian Shaw, Byron Scott and others on the side were also not surprised.

But Thibodeau and Casey were a little surprised.

Is this the status of GOAT?

Any other player in the league who does this will probably be scolded by the 18th princes.

Players are players. If the coach needs to let the players take charge on his behalf, what role does the coach have?

"Follow me, boss." Bowen grinned. Perhaps three years ago, when he faced Ma Long, he just delivered food.

But now this 40-year-old postman has completely lost his dynamic talent. Just stick to his shooting.

"Big Ben! Go around Shaq! The Bulls don't have a top passing point, try to steal the ball! If you can't steal the ball, let it be fouled!"

Except for Yao Ming, no one on the Lakers can defend O'Neal, and even Ben can't defend the peak shark.

The height difference is too big. When fighting inside, the side with the advantage in height has too many ways to score.

In the previous Pistons dynasty, it was Rasheed Wallace who withstood the Sharks, and then Ben helped to strangle the Sharks.

"Steve! I'll run next and you pass the ball! We'll play pass-and-cut!"

Small lineup!

The Lakers' lineup is adjusted to Nash, Kobe, Anthony, Bowen, and Ben.

This is the Lakers' fastest-paced lineup!

The Heat's positional warfare has proven that it can suppress the Lakers, so Kobe intends to stay in position!

run!

Malone is 40 years old, Pippen is 38 years old, Eddie Jones is 32 years old, and O'Neal is 31 years old.

These veterans are invincible, so Kobe will let the team run!

The Lakers coaching staff looked at each other in shock!

Wonderful!

Why couldn't they think of such an adjustment!

For a moment, they were a little ashamed. Kobe received a player's salary, but he also did the work of coach and general manager.

Maybe when Kobe retires, he will become the top coach!

Lakers tactical adjustments!

The scene reversed instantly!

"Steal! Bruce Bowen stole Malone's pass to O'Neal!"

"Nash rushes on a fast break! Attract the defense and score the ball from Anthony in the bottom corner!"

"Big open! Can Anthony, who made 2 of 9 shots in this game, seize this opportunity?"

"In! Anthony raised his knife and dropped it! Scored three points~!"

Anthony formed the shape with his fingers, mumbling excitedly, and poking his temples.

He felt energetic!

Next, Wade and O'Neal pick and roll, and O'Neal distributes the ball. Once again, Big Ben pokes him out of the baseline!

"The Miami Heat's loopholes seem to have been caught by the Lakers." Barkley said seriously.

"Although the Heat have five stars, they don't have anyone who is particularly good at passing the ball. When Pippen was still at his peak, he could fulfill his duty of feeding O'Neal, but now, his steps are a bit slow in front of the excited Anthony. slow!"

"Dwyane Wade, this young rookie guard breaks through as fast as lightning! But his passing vision is not very good, which is why he played as a shooting guard in college."

Pat Riley's eyes were fixed on the steady D'Antoni on the Lakers bench.

Silver Fox Harris has a successor!

Pat Riley thought that although the Lakers were strong this season, their tactical adaptability would decline significantly.

But this new coach named D'Antoni, the chief substitute of the dynasty godfather Silver Fox Harris, actually used tactics to reverse the situation!

D'Antoni still looked paralyzed, but he just found an opportunity when no one saw it, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and let out a sigh of relief.

The risk is that you will take the blame!

The Lakers continued to chase points steadily.

When O'Neal catches the ball, it means he can score in front of Ben.

But not every time the Heat can comfortably pass the ball to O'Neal.

In particular, Bowen and Kobe would help defend O'Neal from time to time. Their old teammates knew O'Neal's habits very well, and they knew what could make O'Neal uncomfortable.

When the third quarter ended, the Lakers had tied the score.

The game entered the fourth quarter.

The main players of both sides played with substitutes.

Ginobili breaks out again!

First, he made a European step layup. After being fouled, he tossed the basketball and the basketball landed accurately in the basket.

Then with the help of Randolph and Okur's double pick-and-roll, he threw in a three-pointer!

Score 6 points in a row! Directly widen the point difference! Forcing Riley to change into the starting lineup early!

The Lakers coaching staff, with the old god present, continued to let the substitutes play under Kobe's instruction!

The Lakers' young substitutes compete against the Heat's starting lineup!

"The Lakers are using the Heat as an experience package for their rookie players!"

"Leveling up? The Lakers are leveling up with the Heat! Are they not worried at all that they will be caught up and overtaken?"

The Lakers young players are very motivated!

Brazilian Lightning Barbosa and Wade increased their speed!

Korver and Eddie Jones scored three points!

Big black bear Zach Randolph's big elbow cleared the way and challenged Malone!

The Lakers substitutes, who were excited at first, fought hard against the Heat starting players.

But the veteran who came back to his senses quickly pressed them down and rubbed them.

The Lakers start!

They have been resting for a long time! ready!

At the same time, Yao Ming, who had committed four fouls, returned to the court!

There are 7 minutes left in the game! It doesn't matter even if he gets 6 fouls.

After coming on the court, Kobe used Yao Ming's pick-and-roll and Nash passed the ball, scoring two three-pointers in a row.

Then it’s time to hit the whirlwind!

The Heat's veteran gradually began to suffer from physical problems at the end of the fourth quarter.

Pat Riley sighed - he knew the game was over.

On December 25, 2003, the Lakers defeated the Heat 110:103.

Kobe scored 41 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers.

Nash scored 18 points and 21 assists.

O'Neal had 47 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

Wade had 24 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 turnovers.

Anthony had 19 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Lakers' bench outscored the Heat 37:16.

Ginobili scored 21 points and 6 assists.

This is the Lakers’ 26th consecutive victory this season! At the same time, it also brought a perfect end to 2003!

Kobe Bryant was the Western Conference Player of the Month in December. He averaged 42.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 2.7 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.4 turnovers per game in a single month!

Kobe's turnover-to-assist ratio is almost as good as the league's top guards!

This is all thanks to Nash. Almost every time Kobe catches the ball, he is in the most comfortable place!

After receiving the ball, you can complete the offense without doing much movement!

Playing without the ball is the least likely to make mistakes!

At the same time, the Lakers once again won all in one month.

Compare performance and record, Kobe dominates the audience!

Many superstars in the Western Conference have performed at the top level, but none of them can interfere with Kobe Bryant's Best of the Month award.

The time came to 2004.

The tactical advantage of running and gunning is obvious, but the disadvantages also exist.

A lot of running makes players seriously exhausted and very susceptible to injuries.

The Lakers began to experience a wave of small-scale injuries. Yao Ming bruised his finger, Anthony sprained his ankle, and other minor injuries began to appear.

The way the Lakers responded to this was to let a large number of substitutes play, rotate 12 people, and rest for minor injuries.

During this period, the Lakers' combat effectiveness experienced ups and downs, and the momentum of an invincible sweep ended, but in the end they still did not break the winning streak of the OK Dynasty.

In January, the Kings struggled to catch up. Webber averaged 27+13+10 per game and led the Kings to 13 wins and 1 loss, winning the Player of the Month award.

The Lakers' record in January was 10 wins and 4 losses. The intensive schedule and injuries affected their victory.

Time entered February 2004, and the much-anticipated all-star lineup was announced.

"Congratulations to the Lakers! Four people have been selected to the All-Stars!!!!" The Lakers locker room immediately erupted!

legend!

Even in the OK Dynasty era, there was no such feat of four players being selected to the All-Stars at the same time!

in history! It has only happened three times in the NBA that four players from the same team have been selected to the All-Star Game!

Celtics: 61-62 season, 74-75 season

76ers: 1982-83 season

Apart from this, no great dynasty has ever had four people selected to the All-Stars!

It has been 21 years since the 1982-83 season!

This is the first time in 21 years that four All-Stars will be on one team!

The selected players are Kobe Bryant - who averaged 37.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 2.6 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.1 turnovers per game this season.

Steve Nash - Averaged 18.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 14.6 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.01 blocks and 3.2 turnovers per game this season.

Yao Ming - Averaged 20.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.5 blocks and 2.4 turnovers per game this season.

Ginobili - Averaged 18.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.5 turnovers per game this season.

Among them Kobe! Yao Ming starts!

Nash was pushed to the bench by Carter.

It's a pity that Daben lost the election.

There is nothing that can be done about it. The top power forwards in the West include Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, and Webber. Da Ben still pales in comparison in front of them.

"Great team! This team is undoubtedly the most legendary team this season, or this century!" NBC's famous mouthpiece Ma Fu published a long article analyzing the greatness of this team. .

"Congratulations to these Lakers All-Stars! You represent this era! You created a new model of basketball!" Lakers general manager Magic posted on Twitter.

"I don't like the Lakers, but these players deserve an All-Star!" Barkley also mentioned this matter during commentary.

"Congratulations to Dayao for being selected as the All-Star starter again! He is our pride!" Zhang Weiping blushed. As the strongest basketball commentator in China, his passion made the Chinese fans in front of the TV excited again.

"Ginobili the Demon Sword! The fifth substitute player in history to be selected as an All-Star!"

Among the past NBA All-Stars, there have only been four players who have become NBA All-Stars as team substitutes. They are Celtics star McHale and two-time Sixth Man of the Year Ricky Pierce. , three-time All-Star Dan Marley, and Chris Gatlin, a strong backup in the 1990s.

Demon Sword Ginobili!

Became the fifth member to be selected as an All-Star as a substitute!

This season's Yaodao has been a killer on the bench, leading a group of Lakers rookies to dominate the league.

Several times in the fourth quarter, he and the starters hit key goals to kill the game.

With this performance, he deserves to be selected as an All-Star!

This also proves how terrible the Lakers are!

The All-Stars sit on the bench and play as substitutes!

Which other team in the league has this kind of treatment?

This is a wealthy family!

"The one we want to focus on is Steve Nash, who is second in this year's MVP rankings!"

Son of the Wind Nash!

Last year he was an unknown white guard from Texas.

This year he has become second only to Kobe Bryant on the MVP rankings!

This is simply a miracle!

No one could have imagined that a 30-year-old white defender could be such a late bloomer!

This simply subverts people’s views!

At the same time, what Nash brings to the Lakers is definitely not statistics, he is definitely not an assist brush!

What Nash, the son of the wind, brings to the Lakers is a brand new tactical system! And his role in the system is even more important than Kobe's!

Without Kobe, the Lakers still have countless offensive options that can be replaced. At most, the efficiency will be seriously reduced, but the system will not change.

And no Nash?

The Lakers last season were just a team that reached the second round relying on Kobe's singles.

He averaged 14.6 assists per game, and his time on the ball only ranked ninth among defenders in the league!

The number of assists per game is tied with Stockton's peak of 14.5 times in history!

Nash is simply a passing master!

Run and gun made Steve Nash!

Nash made D'Antoni!

D'Antoni was also selected as the All-Star Western Conference head coach this season!

A rookie coach who is directly selected as an All-Star coach has more than 90% chance of winning the league's best coach award this season.

This is an American miracle!
