Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 336 [Huluo Pingyang was bullied by cats! 】

Kobe made several difficult shots in the second half of the second quarter, but the Lakers couldn't prevent the Bobcats' attack. At halftime, the Bobcats led 67 to 52 by 15 points.

比卢普斯半场得到19分3篮板4助攻，海耶斯4分8篮板6助攻1盖帽。湖人表现最好的是加索尔，7投5中，罚球4中4，得到14分并有5篮板3助攻。科比半场16分4篮板1助攻，出手15投6中，三分球3投0中，出手次数比加索尔多了一倍。

I don't understand why many people think that Kobe's basketball IQ is higher than Gasol's. Is it a sign of a high IQ?
In the locker room of the visiting team, "Zen Master" Jackson questioned Kobe. He has said more than once that Gasol is the core of his tactics and he should try his best to hand the ball to Gasol.The explanation given by Kobe was that he felt that Gasol's position was not good enough. In fact, it was the consecutive shots made by the opposing players that angered Kobe, and his emotional mentality made him fall into a solo fight.

Many NBA stars have the habit of "returning one", which is especially evident in Kobe.

Jackson felt that he was engaging in psychological warfare with Kobe on several occasions, and the trust between the two was pitiful. The conflicts with Kobe over the past few seasons even made Jackson hire a psychologist for himself. The L.A. Public University specializes in narcissistic behavior, and throughout the season, Jackson sought help from a psychologist.

In Jackson's view, there have always been two Kobes: one desperately wants to win the respect and friendship of his teammates and let his teammates regard him as a leader; the other will intentionally or unintentionally isolate and alienate himself from the group in order to maintain himself above status.The two Kobes have never been able to find a suitable fit, which has led to a split in his personality. Of course Kobe knows what is the correct way to play, but why does he often insist on going his own way?It is because once the defenders challenge him, saying that they are going to guard Kobe tonight, Kobe will be furious and must use singles to tear his opponent apart, and at this time, the more he feels bad, the more he will shoot desperately .That's it for today's game.

If Gasol does not serve as the tactical core, the Lakers' triangle offense will fail.

The Bobcats are not afraid of the Lakers star alone, they are afraid of the opponent's cooperation.So they didn't send anyone to double-team Gasol or Kobe, and let them attack as much as they wanted.As long as others can't open it, it doesn't matter how many points the two stars score. This was the case with the Rockets of the Yao-Mike combination back then.

In the locker room of the home team, D'Antoni praised Billups emphatically, saying: "Chauncey, you did a great job, especially the ball on Kobe's back, which boosted morale. Kevin (Durant) you are too To be honest, in the second half, besides running, I want you to say something to irritate Kobe and challenge him, as long as he gets angry and singles you, we will win the game."

"Ah? What should I say?" Durant was stunned.

"Chuck, teach him. Kevin's provocative effect is definitely better than your provocative effect." D'Antoni laughed.

Hayes brewed for a while, showing an extremely contemptuous and contemptuous expression, raised his head, and said to Durant's face almost with his chin: "Kobe, you are outdated, you are far behind Hayes, It’s not as good as his little toe, I can blow you up, I want to score in front of you, in this position, you can’t guard me.”

"Wow, what a face that deserves a beating." Azubuike, standing aside, sighed.

"Look, even Columna, who has always been good-tempered, thinks so. As long as you can hold your head up and provoke Kobe like this, you will definitely go crazy! He has lost his mind a little in the first half." Hayes laughed: " When defending, you say, come and hit me. I will limit you to 20 points today."

"He has scored 16 points..." Durant said seriously.

Everyone was sweating wildly, this child is too real.

"No one expects you to actually do it. You just say that and get him to take the ball and hit you. Even if he scores 50 points, the Bobcats just need to win easily, and your mission is completed. Our goal is to prevent death. Everyone else, don't let them play efficiently," D'Antoni laughed.

As long as Kobe continued to play singles, he fell into the trap of the Bobcats.

Hayes knew the game was won.

In Hayes' previous life, the Bobcats were the most difficult "natural enemy" of the Lakers.This situation is a bit strange. The Bobcats can even lose twice to the Nets, which almost broke the record of the worst record in league history, but they can beat the Lakers, which is more than a step stronger. From 2004 to 2009, the Bobcats and the Lakers played 10 times and won 7 games; Gasol played 5 games after he joined the Lakers, and the Lakers only won 1 game.The Bobcats defeating the Lakers is really not just a coincidence of superstition.

The Bobcats weren't a team with high offensive efficiency and accurate shooting at that time, but they could always have excellent offensive performances in front of the Lakers.In those 10 games, the Bobcats had a shooting percentage of more than 4% in 3 games, and nearly 5% in [-] games; in turn, the Bobcats' stalking always made the Lakers' offensive power greatly reduced.They have only one trick to deal with the Lakers, and that is not to double-team Kobe, let Kobe do it alone, and let Kobe lose control of his emotions.Once Kobe scores points, it is easy to dissociate from the Lakers' tactical system.

Think about it carefully, if the Lakers play more offensive tactics with two towers inside, then the height of the inside will overwhelm the Bobcats. After all, the Bobcats inside cannot compete with the Lakers.The Bobcats didn't overpower the Lakers' style of play. As long as the triangle offense is invigorated, there is basically no solution.They just restrained the Lakers' outside offense and Kobe's solo mode.The Bobcats' defensive style completely restrains Kobe's offense: Kobe likes to single out, and the Bobcats have a single-defense pioneer "Captain Jack"; Hurt the Lakers.

Today's Bobcats are much better defensively than they were in history.The Lakers have a group of strong players who don't cooperate and stand aside watching Kobe play hard. It's hard not to lose.

At the start of the second half, both sides started the game with only Fisher replacing Ariza.Jackson didn't talk too much about tactics, but only emphasized the need to pass the ball and the players must pay attention to pick-and-roll coordination.

During halftime, Bryant drank a bottle of Gatorade and considered the situation on the court.If he plays singles, it really won't do the Lakers any good.Hayes is at a disadvantage in the interior height, and Lopez is just a rookie. Maybe passing in the interior to stabilize the situation can really recover the score.

But Kobe changed his mind at the beginning because Durant started to provoke.

Of course, Durant has only played for two years, and he is not as bad as Hayes. His provocative expression has never been as flattering as Hayes, but he said everything, and he forgot his words when he was excited: " Kobe, I'm going to blow you up today, and I'm going to limit your score to less than 20 points, you are better than Panda... no, you are far worse than Chuck."

'Is this kid crazy?Does he really think he can be better than me?Phil (Jackson) was right, they wanted to challenge me to singles, and if I did that, it would be in the Bobcats' favor.Ignore this kid. ' Kobe said to himself in his heart, ignoring Durant.

Durant saw that Kobe's expression was very calm, and he said harsh words again.He ran to his most accurate position and said loudly: "I want to score in front of you, right here! You can't guard me!"

Wallace has been paying attention to Durant's movements, seeing that he has almost finished speaking, dribbling to him and passing the ball.Durant took a step outside the right three-point line and turned around for a jumper.This jump shot is very difficult, and it also adds a fadeaway, Kobe really can't cover it.

The Bobcats have already discussed the ball. Hayes and Lopez saw Durant catch the ball, and immediately squeezed inside to grab a rebound.God also helped Durant today.The ball bounced on the rim, bounced high, and fell into the rim again. 69 to 52, the Bobcats have led by 17 points.

"Come on. Hit me?" Durant clenched his fists after scoring the goal, showing off his underdeveloped muscles, and smiled.

Kobe tried his best to calm himself down, Fisher took the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Kobe, and he moved to form a triangle with Kobe and Gasol.Bryant dribbled the ball sideways, one step away, and passed it to Gasol.Gasol singled out Lopez and prepared to turn inside. Today he has scored three in the middle.

Kobe saw Hayes suddenly let go of Bynum and ran towards Gasol, shouting: "Be careful."

Gasol heard Bryant's words, but the reaction was still a little slow.Hayes slapped the ball away, grabbed the basketball one step ahead of Gasol, and passed it to Gerald Wallace.

Bryant and Fisher back on defense.Wallace dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without a strong breakthrough, and passed it to Billups on the other side.After Billups received the ball, Fisher defended the outside line and made a pull-up jumper.

Billups was in a very brave state today and hit the fourth three-pointer of the game. 4 to 72.The Lakers are 52 points behind.

'what is this?I just knew that I should reduce my shots and pass more. Why didn't he talk about how they (referring to teammates) should move? 'Gasol's dribble was interrupted caused Kobe's dissatisfaction.Billups' three-pointer made him feel cold again.

At this time, Durant was still clamoring beside Kobe: "Hit me? What are you talking about surpassing Jordan, let's surpass me first."

Kobe finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to play Durant in singles. He dribbled the ball to break through to the inside, passed Durant, and hit a jumper before Hayes defended. 72 to 54.

Looking back, the Bobcats attacked in a position. At this time, the Bobcats' power forward was Gerald Wallace. Durant covered Hayes on the outside. After the defense, Hayes and Kobe faced each other.

"I'm shooting right here, right here, you can't guard me!" Hayes said to Bryant, dribbling with his back.

'Damn it, why are you doing this too? Did you really discuss it? 'Kobe stuck close to Hayes, he was very brave on the defensive end, and he was not afraid of confrontation.

Hayes turned around suddenly, bent his knees with the ball in both hands, and was about to jump.This time Kobe immediately blocked the block, jumped into the air and found that Hayes didn't jump up. This is a fake move.

Seeing that Kobe jumped first, Hayes immediately took off and threw the ball with one hand and missed it, causing Kobe to foul.

"Sorry, missed. Not in this position." Hayes laughed.

Kobe once again attacked with anger, and his style of play was messed up when he was in a hurry.The Bobcats' offense is still sharp, and several outside players frequently shoot and fire.

Huluo Pingyang was bullied by the cats. It was originally predicted to be a close game, but the fourth quarter turned into garbage time because the Bobcats led by more than 20 points.This is what no one thought of at the beginning.

最终比分112比90，山猫大胜22分。山猫队得分最多的人是比卢普斯28分6篮板6助攻，海耶斯14分12篮板7助攻，杜兰特也砍下了21分。科比全场豪取37分，却没有任何意义……
