The timeout ends and the game resumes.
The Lakers attacked first, and Kobe sat low, facing James' defense again.
At this time, the Heat fans on the sidelines no longer had the confidence they had at the start.
After being baptized by Kobe's magic balls in the first half of the first quarter, these Heat spectators felt guilty when they saw Kobe taking the ball.
At this time, James, whose mentality seemed to have collapsed during the timeout, was unusually calm.
He has been cornered by Coach D's conspiracy!
He has fallen into a trap and has no way out!
If you want to regain your face, you must not let Kobe shoot in front of him like he did just now!
After returning from the timeout, James' defensive intensity became even greater. ,
Kobe felt it too.
After receiving a pass from Artest, Kobe was suddenly squeezed by James and almost lost his footing.
Under normal circumstances, offensive players will definitely need to adjust their offensive rhythm when encountering such a collision.
But Kobe's strength lies in his superb balance ability.
Although my athletic ability has declined as I get older, my balance is still there.
Following James' impact, Kobe actually turned left, and what's incredible is that this was a fake left turn breakthrough!
After this fake move, Kobe immediately pulled his body back. You thought he was about to take action after pulling the ball. Then, facing James who was defending him, Kobe made a breakthrough to the right, and then retreated. step!
This series of dazzling and picturesque actions made the Heat fans at the scene so stunned that they forgot to boo.
It can only be said that Heat fans still have to learn in this regard.
Look at the fans in Boston in the last game. No matter how picturesque Kobe's movements were, they still booed.
The Heat fans at the scene felt as if they had never seen the world before when they saw Kobe's picturesque offense.
However, seriously speaking, neither James nor Wade has Kobe's style of play.
The two are strong and strong, but their painting styles are indeed different.
Therefore, they rarely see Kobe like this.
What's more, Kobe's series of actions just now were among the top ten goals in Kobe's career.
Kobe's explosive power is indeed not as good as it was at his peak.
But he polished his skills to be more rounded and picturesque.
A swipe!
After a series of picturesque foreplays, the sound of the basketball passing through the net seemed particularly wonderful.
After the hit, Kobe faced the silence of the scene, James' stunned eyes, and Howard's expression of jealousy to the point of madness.
Nothing more was said.
He just touched the golden wristband on his right hand cherishingly.
"Back! Everything is back!"
No, you were better before!
"Is this really the 35-year-old Kobe?"
James looked at Lakers No. 24 in front of him, who was surrounded by Lakers players, and he was already doubting life.
His defense just now was really, really good.
This is not something James can boast about. His defense just now was indeed very good.
Otherwise Kobe wouldn't have made so many picturesque fake moves in succession, and in the end he could only force shots.
All we can say is that Kobe made it.
It's not that James' defense has a problem.
It should be said that it was precisely because James' defense was so good that Kobe's goal just now looked so picturesque and shocking.
So much so that even O'Neal, who was in the commentary box at this time, couldn't say anything.
"Shaq, this is 35-year-old Kobe, what do you think?"
"..."
"Shaq, you have always said that you are the person who knows Kobe the best. Now I feel that Coach D knows Kobe better than you, hahahaha..."
"..."
All we can say is that Barkley is really bad.
Well, revenge is normal no matter how bad you are.
"I originally thought that the one-on-one duel between Kobe and James would be evenly matched... I didn't expect that this would be the result..."
Kenny Smith looked at the one-on-one showdown between Kobe and James that was taking place on the court at this time.
It really felt like I was dreaming.
In the media, when it comes to who is better in the NBA duel.
The number one player ranked by major media is definitely Jordan.
Then the second one is very controversial. Both James and Kobe have supporters.
After the fourth, it was the turn of Durant, McGrady, Anthony and Iverson.
Because Kobe and James are both active players, and both of them aim to surpass Jordan.
Therefore, there has always been controversy as to which of the two is the stronger player in a one-on-one match.
But now...
If it weren't for what Coach D said before the game, they would probably still be discussing who has better one-on-one ability between Kobe and James.
Is this the same level?
Considering James' status and power in the league, it is naturally impossible for Kenny Smith to speak so directly.
"We really live in a world full of illusions, and we need to keep our eyes open all the time..."
The NBA Spring Festival Gala battle between the Lakers and the Heat has received a lot of attention.
NBA star coaches like Popovich and Phil Jackson are paying attention.
Durant, Kyrie Irving, Anthony...
Of course these superstars are also paying attention.
Even Jordan was watching the game in front of the TV at this time.
All I can say is that this stage is indeed too big!
It's so big that anyone would want to dance on it.
It's so big that anyone would be crazy about it.
"Before the game, many people said Coach D was crazy. In my opinion, he is the most sane person in the world."
Popovich finished speaking with a smile, and Budenholzer next to him was nodding wildly.
This move is so powerful!
This is really a very interesting thing.
Before the game, many people said that Coach D was crazy.
But Coach D, who seemed crazy before the game, is now driving Heat coach Spoelstra and Heat boss James crazy during the game.
Now that James has taken it upon himself to get angry, Spoelstra has no choice.
He has no ability to bring James back.
It's up to James to figure it out at some point. He and Kobe are different.
However, James is too excited now.
Let's put it this way, after defeating the Thunder's youth team to win the championship and winning double MVPs last season, James's black spots were all cleared up.
Now James is leading the Heat to great success and is ranked first in the MVP list. The national media no longer criticizes him, but shouts that he is the first in the league. Flowers and applause are all coming to him.
Not to mention James, any individual would be very, very angry when faced with such a situation.
Especially people like James who have been hurt, especially hope to prove themselves.
And on this big stage to prove myself, not only did I not prove what I wanted, but I proved what I didn't want.
Who can bear this?
So after returning from the timeout, the Heat did not change their style of play. It was James who tried to help James prove himself on the court with a space lineup suitable for him.
Seeing this, Budenholzer shook his head.
As far as the Heat's space lineup is concerned, even if James can prove himself, the Heat will not be able to beat the Lakers.
Don't say that Kobe is going crazy now.
Even if Kobe is in poor condition and misses even one shot against James on the outside, Howard and Gasol can still kill the Heat inside like a fish in water.
The space lineup brought by James was originally the most suitable for fast offense, but now it is trapped in a singles duel with Kobe, that is, a positional battle, and its own advantages cannot be used at all.
Such a small-space lineup, playing positional offense with the Lakers' twin-tower lineup, isn't this suicide?
No matter how big the space is, James' first thought is to challenge one-on-one rather than break through and score. The Heat's shooters don't have many opportunities. Even if they have the opportunity, James' hesitation will disrupt the offensive rhythm.
The more Budenholzer thought about it, the more he felt that Coach D was indeed a genius in taking advantage of the Heat reporters' harassment before the game to mess with the Heat and mess with James.
Budenholzer watched the game in shock.
Taking the Lakers, a low-dog team that would be defeated by the Heat in any head-to-head matchup, and bringing them to beat the Heat, this...
"Bobo, Coach D is so awesome!"
After a heartfelt sigh, Budenholzer asked again.
"Bobo, will the Heat lose this game?"
"Won't."
"..." Popovich's answer stunned Budenholzer.
Now that James is on top, the Lakers are playing against the Heat. Are the Heat going to collapse no matter how they look at it?
And Coach D is so good...can he fail to seize the opportunity?
"I know James, and I also know the Heat. James is very smart. He knows what stop loss means, and the Heat are indeed not the only Lakers who can beat them. Even if there is one quarter left in the game, the Heat can beat the Lakers. Now, the game Just played one session.”
"..."
Popovich's words silenced Budenholzer again.
Yes, as long as James stops his losses in time, the Heat are still not something the Lakers can beat.
And right now.
On TV, the Heat requested a timeout.
And it was James who was holding the ball who took the initiative to call a timeout!
"LeBron James actually requested a timeout!"
"That's what makes LeBron James different and powerful."
Popovich smiled, seemingly unsurprised.
Seeing the smile on Popovich's face at this time, Budenholzer was stunned for a moment.
I'm afraid the whole world doesn't know that Pop has been studying the Heat and James for a long time...
"Perhaps Bobo can be like Coach D and bring surprises to the world!"
…
…
James himself asked for a timeout, which really shocked the audience in the room and in front of the TV.
Even the three commentators on the scene were very, very surprised.
"Perhaps Coach D was the only coach in the world who had a smile of wisdom on his face when he saw James actively requesting a timeout."
"I'm really curious if there is anything in this world that surprises Coach D."
"Coach D is probably the most reassuring coach for the players. I like this kind of coach!"
The game was paused again.
Du Kang knew very well that after this timeout, the direction of the game would be completely different from before.
James will wake up from his state above.
Although the Heat's space formation remains unchanged, James will play very smart and no longer thinks he can kill the aging Kobe. The Lakers' defensive pressure will greatly increase.
James will still beat Kobe, but if he can't beat Kobe, he will hand the ball to Wade.
And Wade can really get in!
Wade's emergency stop shot after a breakthrough step was simply incomprehensible against the Lakers.
Howard was pulled away by Bosh.
Kobe was pulled away by James.
The Lakers' only two reliable defensive points are not in front of Wade.
One-on-one, Wade can kill the current Los Angeles Lakers from the top of the city to the bottom of the city.
Such a powerful Wade made Ham next to Du Kang speechless.
"Why do I feel like Wade is dueling with Kobe in this game?"
"..."
Du Kang didn't speak, but James, who was passing by with the ball, almost walked because of Ham's words.
Then James glared at Ham with his eyes angrily.
That look made Ham tremble.
After all, Hamm, who is now recognized by the media as the number one player in the league and is a mere assistant coach, is indeed nothing in front of James.
Seeing the trembling Ham's funny look with his big head and thick neck, Du Kang really wanted to laugh more and more.
It's not the appearance and temperament that makes Ham laugh, but...
"I didn't expect you to have a good mentality when it comes to messing with James."
His assistant is really not a very eloquent person with a dark heart.
When these words came out of his mouth, it was very surprising.
Is Hamm the kind of weapon specially designed to deal with James?
Or was it such a coincidence that he said those words and James passed by with the ball so coincidentally?
Although James habitually likes to dribble the ball from near the sideline into the penalty area.
But this is indeed too coincidental.
"I always feel that you will have a bad relationship with James in the future."
"..."
"Kidding."
Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, and Ham also smiled bitterly.
He is a mere nobody. Even if he is taken away by Du and has struggled for 20 years, he still cannot have any interaction with a player like James.
…
…
Du Kang withdrew his gaze from Ham and looked at the field again.
After the timeout, due to Wade's effort, although the Lakers still had the advantage on the court, the game did become anxious.
"LeBron, if you can fight, fight. If you can't fight, give it to me. I will support you!"
Wade sat with Blake, and after hitting a very beautiful fadeaway jumper, he smiled and gave a thumbs up to James who just passed the ball to him.
Wade seems to be very relaxed now. This Laker really gives him what he wants, and he can play however he wants.
Facing the praise from my friend Wade, I thought back to the words of the Lakers assistant coach just now.
James couldn't be happy anyway at this time.
Although he knew Wade meant well.
He also knew that this was the only possibility for him to regain his position.
He can now see that he can't beat Kobe one-on-one.
Taking the same thirty shots, he would be defeated by Kobe.
But Kobe took thirty shots and he took fifteen. He was confident that his shooting percentage would be higher than Kobe's!
As long as the Heat win this game, his shooting percentage is higher than Kobe's and his assists are not low. He doesn't think the media will think he lost to Kobe!
As for the fans’ opinions, does it matter?
Coach D said that basketball game statistics are not important, but the players' efforts in the game are important.
But in fact, data is eternal, and players' performance in the game will be forgotten over time!
It was because he became the number one player in the league and cared too much about getting everyone's approval and the opinions of the fans that he was fooled by Coach D in this game!
Stop the loss now, it’s still not too late!
The key to this game is victory, shooting percentage, and data!
Protecting the hit rate is something he can do himself.
But to protect victory, Wade is needed.
As for the data, whether it is the data obtained by Kobe or the Lakers substitute players, can the statistics show it?
Although James felt sick thinking about what the Lakers assistant coach just said, he still smiled and high-fived Wade.
With Wade's help, the Lakers had the advantage after the first quarter, but they didn't win much.
28 to 24.
With a score like this, a team like the Heat can turn it over as soon as they exert their strength.
Therefore, when the second quarter of the game was about to begin, the Heat fans who were shocked by Kobe became excited again.
"Eh? Will LeBron James play the entire game in this game?"
The three commentators on the scene were surprised to see James still on the court with Haslem, Chalmers, Battier and Norris Cole in the second quarter.
The Heat fans at the scene were even more excited.
The two assistant coaches next to Du Kang were frightened.
I just fucked Kobe for 12 minutes, can I continue doing it now?
This physical strength is really scary!
Du Kang was not scared, but looked at Nash and Yi Jianlian with a smile.
"Are you ready?"
The two didn't speak, just nodded.
But their eyes told Du Kang that they were ready.
"come on!"
…
…
Look at the Lakers No. 11 who is hugging Du Kang at this time.
In James' eyes, the Chinese power forward is a mobile database, and any data can be obtained from him.
Wins, hits, stats!
This Chinese is the 'data' among the three treasures that help him regain face in a roundabout way!
This game was definitely one of the most disgusting games he played in his career!
It was almost, his mentality was going to collapse, it was really almost!
He really made one wrong step and almost got killed.
If it weren't for his wit, any black man would have been ruined by Coach D and suffered a vicious attack.
"Sean, wait a minute, I'm playing position four!"
James spent a lot of time playing the fourth position with the Heat, but Battier didn't think much of it.
What is lost with Kobe will always be found elsewhere.
Coach D, this makes sense, right?
hehe……
"Coach D, I will let you know who is the person whose mentality collapsed in the end!"
