Chapter 324 323. Are the Lakers Poisonous or Me?Precarious (6.3K words ask for a monthly ticket)
After the timeout, Zen Master Jackson of the Lakers replaced Bynum off the court, because the conflict between Bynum and Kobe had intensified at this moment.
If two people are placed on the field at the same time, then maybe something will happen again.
Among other things, just say that if Kobe and Bynum do not cooperate with each other on the court.
So for the Lakers, who have entered a critical moment in the game at this moment, it will definitely be a fatal flaw.
What's more, no matter who Kobe clashed with on the court, Jackson couldn't change Kobe off the court at the last minute.
So in the end, it was the little shark Bynum who was dealt with calmly off the court.
With the sudden team quarrel on the Lakers side, Jackson had to place Odom at the fourth position after the Shark Bynum left the field, and let Gasol go to the fifth position to play as a guest center.
After all, the depth of the Lakers' lineup this season is already very poor. Except for Odom on the entire bench, it can be said that there is no one who can play.
There are even fewer options for the inside, if Gasol is not sent to the fifth position to send Odom.
Then the only candidate for the Lakers' interior center is DJ Mbenga.
But who is DJ Mbenga? !
This is a legend known to all Los Angeles fans, and even in this season's entertainment magazine, he was named the number one "useless head" among the more than 100 inside players in the league this season! !
Yes, you heard it right, Mbenga, who averaged 2.7 points and 1.3 rebounds per game in the regular season this season, is nicknamed "waste"...
So at this critical moment, when Bynum is off the court, the only person Jackson can use is the combination of Odom and Gasol.
However, it can be said that there is no problem with Odom as the fourth position. After all, Lewis is the fourth position of the Magic.
It can be said that it is more than enough to match Odom with him, but when Bynum is off the court, Gasol, who is forced to top the fifth position, has encountered some troubles.
Because in this case, Gasol had to take on the task of hand-to-hand combat with Howard on both ends of the offense and defense.
As we all know, Gasol is not a traditional inside player. Compared with constantly blocking rebounds in the interior and doing those rough blue-collar tasks, Gasol is better at offensive support and mid-range shooting.
Among them, for the Lakers, the worst thing is far from this, because when Gasol reaches the fifth position, it means that the Lakers' ability to protect the penalty area has basically dropped to freezing point.
Even if Gasol is doing the pentathlon, his ability to protect the frame in the penalty area can be said to be extremely bad.
What's more, Gasol was facing off against Howard, the league's No. [-] center in this game, so in the next few minutes, Gasol's life can be described as miserable.
Because of the fierce quarrel between Kobe and Bynum, Magic coach Van Gundy also found out that Jackson had replaced Bynum off the court at the first time.
Faced with this situation, of course Van Gundy would not be merciless, and immediately shifted the focus on the court to the inside.
Although Bynum's personality is very arrogant, and he will always do things that make people look incredible.
But what you have to admit is that Bynum is indeed a very talented interior player, and his ability to protect the basket is at the forefront of the league.
So when Bynum is on the court, Howard's offensive and defensive pressure can be said to be very huge.
After all, in terms of frontal physical confrontation at the basket, the strong and strong Bynum can be said to be completely worthy of Howard.
Although there is still a slight gap with Howard, it is at least one of the best centers in the league who can play one-on-one with Howard.
However, with Bynum being replaced, when Howard was under the basket facing Gasol who was forced to the fifth position, Warcraft's physical talent completely exploded.
Facing Gasol, Howard can be said to have an absolute advantage in both rebounding and physical confrontation inside.
Over the next few minutes, the Lakers quickly sank into a crisis in the paint as the Magic intentionally drove more shots to the rim.
And this crisis quickly spread to other positions of the Lakers. After all, the core of the Magic's offense and defense is still based on Howard.
So when Howard at the basket gradually opens up the situation, it will be easier for others to play on the offensive end.
Especially Iverson, if the Lakers had the little shark Bynum guarding the rim before, even if Iverson broke through the personal defense against Ariza, he would still be severely interfered by the penalty area in terms of shooting percentage at the rim.
But at this moment, when the center of the basket was replaced by Gasol, the defensive pressure Iverson suffered when attacking the basket was directly reduced.
Faced with this situation, the Magic wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him. In just 2 minutes, they beat the Lakers to a 7-0 spurt.
Seeing that the situation on the court suddenly became precarious, Zen master Jackson off the court immediately called a timeout.
I want to end the Magic's offensive, because if the Magic is allowed to continue playing like this, then the game will really be taken away by the Magic.
As the court once again entered the timeout stage, during this timeout period, everyone in the Magic team was obviously in a very good mood. While off the field, they celebrated excitedly with the substitute players.
However, for this sudden reversal on the court, the Lakers fans at home felt a little unbelievable at the moment.
In addition to feeling unbelievable, at this time, what Lakers fans are most worried about is whether the team can win the game.
But during the timeout, after both teams were off the field, some fans discovered that Bynum, who was sitting on the bench at the moment, not only did not repent after knowing his mistakes, but he did not worry about when the team fell behind.
When the whole person saw the inside of the Lakers and was blown away by the Magic in an instant, Bynum sat on the bench and laughed secretly.
When more and more fans saw Bynum's scene off the court, everyone felt very angry.
Even at this time, he had already vented his anger on Bynum.
"Fuck!! The team had been leading the entire time before this, if it wasn't for this guy, how could it be what it is now!!"
"He's still laughing?! Fuck, he's a scum!!"
"He's an undercover!! This scum, please get out of our team!!"
As more and more fans saw Bynum sniggering off the court, the number of people who abused Bynum on the spot and on the Internet began to rise sharply.
If we say that at the beginning, many people thought Kobe was too domineering, so Bynum had a fierce quarrel with him.
Even at that time, some people thought that Kobe, as the star of a team, publicly abused Bynum on this occasion was really too much.
Then, after Bynum snickered off the court that the Lakers were blown up inside, all the fans at this moment directly pointed their finger at Bynum, gnashing their teeth between words, wishing to slap Bynum's skin at this moment.
And on the way, when Kobe came off the court and found that Bynum was secretly laughing at him, his anger could not be suppressed at last, and he directly started teaching Bynum on the bench.
Facing Kobe who was pointing at himself and constantly educating him, Bynum naturally did his part, stood up straight away, and once again had a verbal conflict with Kobe.
But this time is slightly different from the previous ones. When Kobe educated Bynum again this time, the other Lakers players pretended not to see it, and no one excused Bynum.
Because at this moment, Bynum had completely angered everyone, and even Gasol, who has always been good-tempered, threw the towel on the ground directly after the game.
When he first saw Kobe educating Bynum, he didn't get up to fight, because at this moment, if Gasol hadn't possessed excellent educational qualities, he couldn't help but want to stand up and shake his fist at Bynum.
It can be said that Bynum at this moment has become a major cancer recognized by Los Angeles fans and players.
Facing the big farce on the bench, Zen Master Jackson shouted directly from the sidelines, and pulled Kobe away in time.
Then he was even angrier and directly asked the assistant coach to take Bynum out of the player channel.
Otherwise, if Bynum is allowed to sit here, what kind of chaos may happen in the whole scene.
Because as more and more fans saw this scene at this moment, the entire Staples Arena was already filled with boos.
And amidst all the boos, there were a lot of personal insults against Bynum, and the words were even more difficult to hear and indescribable.
It is no exaggeration to say that Bynum at this moment has become the public enemy of Los Angeles.
If Bynum in the previous life still has a long way to go before becoming a public enemy of Los Angeles, then in this life, Bynum's immature behavior in the finals really angered all Los Angeles fans.
For the next step in Bynum's career, Su Jiu still doesn't know.
However, when Su Jiu raised his head and looked around, seeing the angry personal emotions in the entire Staples Arena at the moment, Su Jiu knew that Bynum's journey in Los Angeles had come to an end...
After the timeout, there are only more than four minutes left on the court at this moment, but the Lakers are behind the Magic by as much as nine points.
This situation obviously made the fans at home feel worried. Even the Zen master Jackson, who has always been a Buddhist, frowned on the sidelines, looking helpless.
It can be said that before the start of this round of the series, no one would have thought that the Magic could push the Lakers to this point.
If the loss of this game can be attributed to the sudden falling out between Bynum and Kobe, then the loss of the Lakers in the first game was a real loss.
So until now, no one has dared to guarantee that the Lakers will be able to defeat the Magic.
Some people have even begun to think that the Magic will not stage another miraculous sweep in the finals like they swept the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals, right? ! !
Back on the court, not only the Lakers fans felt worried at this moment, but even the players on the court felt the pressure.
And Kobe, who was angry with Bynum not long ago, also frowned at this time, but there was a firmness in his eyes, and he didn't mean to be discouraged at all.
In the next few minutes, because of Bynum's end, Gasol, who is facing Howard at the moment, is also not comfortable on the offensive end.
After all, Howard at his peak, his defensive range can be expanded to all areas within the three-point line.
So in this case, the Lakers' offensive shots at critical moments are basically on Kobe alone.
Facing Pietrus' close defense, Kobe didn't have a long rest in the whole game. In addition, Kobe in this game has been using difficult backward jumpers to complete the offense.
This also led to a visible decline in Kobe's personal physical strength at this moment.
The most important thing is that at this moment, with the Magic holding a nearly double-digit lead, the time on the court is getting less and less.
So at the critical moment, the Magic's defensive focus has become very obvious, and that is to pinch Kobe's personal offense at this point.
It can be said that except for the Lakers' offensive shots at critical moments, most of which are in Kobe's hands, Kobe also believes in himself more when it comes to shots at critical moments, even though the defensive pressure he faces is huge.
As the two teams played against each other in the final stage, the Magic's offensive choice was very clear, that is, try to shoot as close to the basket as possible.
After all, the end of Bynum the Shark did create some irreparable flaws for the Lakers.
That is, the ability to protect the frame in the penalty area has been greatly reduced, and the rebounding has also declined.
So in the last period of time, the Magic has been playing steadily, and every offensive round is basically delayed until 24 seconds are approaching before they can avoid forceful shots.
In this case, no matter whether the Magic's offense can hit or not, the time left for the Lakers can be said to be very little.
Even though Kobe hit key shots many times in the last two minutes or so, he seemed to want to turn the tide.
However, as Su Jiu and Howard repeatedly used pick-and-rolls to forcibly bombard the basket, the Lakers finally faced disintegration at the last moment.
Finally, after the end of the game, the Magic team in the away game once again ended with:
84:76
Eight points defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, rewriting the total score of this round of the series to 2:0.
After the game ended, the entire Staples Arena was instantly plunged into an atmosphere of grief and indignation.
Because as the Magic took the lead in winning two consecutive cities in the finals, the situation of the Lakers at this moment can be said to be very dangerous.
But under such circumstances, at this moment, a very fierce quarrel broke out within the Lakers team, and even if there is no accident, it is likely to affect the team's overall momentum in the future.
It can be said that the current Lakers not only have to face the eyes of the Magic, but also have to deal with internal troubles in their own team.
Under such circumstances, many fans have begun to waver, and have been asking themselves in their hearts:
"Can the Los Angeles Lakers really beat the Magic this year?"
There are not a few fans who have this kind of thought in their hearts at the moment. Most of these fans are neutral fans. The team they like has already faced elimination in the playoffs, so the finals are just a fun to watch.
If it is said that the Magic won the finals first and rewritten the total score to 1:0, there are still many fans who believe that the Lakers will be able to complete the rebound in the future.
And finally won this year's championship trophy without any suspense.
However, as the Magic team rewritten the total score of the series to 2:0, many fans have begun to stand on the side of the Magic team at this moment, thinking that the Magic team can definitely beat the Lakers in one go.
Although it can't be said to be a sweep, at least if the Lakers want to complete a counterattack, then the difficulty of this can definitely be said to be very great.
At the moment the game ended, the Magic's bench flooded into the court in an instant, and everyone celebrated on the Staples Arena.
As for the cheerful celebration scene of the Magic, it looks like a great irony in the eyes of the Lakers fans at the moment.
Especially when there were problems within the team and the Magic opened the score in one fell swoop after facing a quarrel.
At this moment, many Lakers fans have begun to vent their dissatisfaction, and loudly began to question the invincibility of the Magic's victory.
I think the Magic are simply despicable people, and even if they really won the championship trophy this year, there is no gold content at all.
That is to say, everyone in the Magic team didn't know what the Lakers fans were thinking. Of course, even if Su Jiu knew, he wouldn't take it seriously.
Because looking at the historical career of the NBA, after the next 10 or 20 years, people will no longer understand what happened in the finals that year.
I don't even know whether winning the championship that season was really a victory. On the road of competitive sports, apart from some players with great personal influence, fans look more at the final result.
Of course, being able to defeat the Lakers proves the strength of the Magic, so even if the Lakers fans talk about it at this moment, it can't change the fact that the Magic are already leading by a big score of 2:0.
The magic team was able to win this game, and Warcraft Howard's contribution can definitely be called the greatest contribution.
You know, after the start of the game, in order to completely block the connection between Su Jiu and other teammates, Jackson let Su Jiu shoot most of the time.
However, Su Jiu's offensive efficiency is not very high. Although the shooting rate has eased when he switched to playing off the ball in the second half, if there is no Howard's great power in the paint.
Then the Magic may surrender as early as the first half, facing a worse situation.
全场比赛霍华德一共是出场了高达42分钟,个人在进攻端16投10中,罚球8中4,最终贡献出了24分17篮板以及5次封盖的数据。
Although in Howard's offensive data, a large part of it is the data that Howard only gained when Bynum was off the court.
But compared to the offensive end, Howard's contribution on the defensive end is also very important. Not only did he send out five blocks in the game, but he also took off 17 rebounds.
It can be said that when Lewis is not good at grabbing rebounds at the power forward position of the Magic, Howard faces the Twin Towers alone and can still complete the task of guarding the penalty area. This can definitely be called terrifying.
In addition to Howard, Su Jiu's contribution in this game is also not to be underestimated, although throughout the first half, Su Jiu's offensive efficiency can be described as a mess.
But after switching to playing off the ball in the second half, Su Jiu's offensive efficiency gradually began to pick up.
In the end, Su Jiu, who gradually found the offensive rhythm off the ball, even completed the offensive connection with Howard many times, and finally helped the Magic win the game in one fell swoop.
全场比赛苏久一共是出场了38分钟,个人在进攻端17投7中,其中三分线外11中3,罚球6中5,稳定的贡献出了22分7篮板4次助攻以及3次抢断。
It is no exaggeration to say that Su Jiu's presence on the court is definitely the most tangled area for the Lakers, because compared with Iverson's unstable outside shooting, he can only kill the inside, and Lewis' inside finishing rate is weak, basically only drifting outside.
Su Jiu's all-round attributes on the court are the ones that make the Lakers feel the most headache.
Especially when Su Jiu and Howard were performing a pick-and-roll or connecting, the impact and the series of comprehensive operations that Su Jiu could contribute after that made the Lakers feel helpless.
After all, it was impossible for Zen master Jackson to allow Kobe to match up with Su Jiu for the entire game, and it was even more impossible for Ariza to give up Iverson and choose to defend Su Jiu instead.
Because compared to Iverson who basically only participates in the offense, Su Jiu is not only rich in offensive means, but also has excellent passing ability.
Therefore, when the team's defensive ability on the back line is insufficient, the existence of Su Jiu has obviously become a thorn in Jackson's heart.
Of course, as of now, compared to the difficulties of the Magic, the real headache for Jackson at the moment is the infighting between Kobe and Bynum.
You know, even if you are behind 0:2 in the finals, this does not mean that the team has no hope of a comeback.
But if Jackson can't solve the various contradictions within the team in the future, then facing the Magic in this way, the possibility of losing again in the future is absolutely very high.
And this situation obviously made Jackson feel powerless, because it meant that he had to adjust various internal differences within the team in addition to studying the Magic's tactics.
Even the Zen master Jackson at this moment can't help but think:
"Is this the fucking Lakers toxic or me??"
"Counting now, I have coached the Lakers for three stages in total. As a result, in all three stages, infighting broke out in the playoffs?!"
Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, brothers! !
(End of this chapter)
After the timeout, Zen Master Jackson of the Lakers replaced Bynum off the court, because the conflict between Bynum and Kobe had intensified at this moment.
If two people are placed on the field at the same time, then maybe something will happen again.
Among other things, just say that if Kobe and Bynum do not cooperate with each other on the court.

As the court once again entered the timeout stage, during this timeout period, everyone in the Magic team was obviously in a very good mood. While off the field, they celebrated excitedly with the substitute players.

At the moment the game ended, the Magic's bench flooded into the court in an instant, and everyone celebrated on the Staples Arena.
As for the cheerful celebration scene of the Magic, it looks like a great irony in the eyes of the Lakers fans at the moment.
Especially when there were problems within the team and the Magic opened the score in one fell swoop after facing a quarrel.
At this moment, many Lakers fans have begun to vent their dissatisfaction, and loudly began to question the invincibility of the Magic's victory.
I think the Magic are simply despicable people, and even if they really won the championship trophy this year, there is no gold content at all.
That is to say, everyone in the Magic team didn't know what the Lakers fans were thinking. Of course, even if Su Jiu knew, he wouldn't take it seriously.
Because looking at the historical career of the NBA, after the next 10 or 20 years, people will no longer understand what happened in the finals that year.
I don't even know whether winning the championship that season was really a victory. On the road of competitive sports, apart from some players with great personal influence, fans look more at the final result.
Of course, being able to defeat the Lakers proves the strength of the Magic, so even if the Lakers fans talk about it at this moment, it can't change the fact that the Magic are already leading by a big score of 2:0.
The magic team was able to win this game, and Warcraft Howard's contribution can definitely be called the greatest contribution.
You know, after the start of the game, in order to completely block the connection between Su Jiu and other teammates, Jackson let Su Jiu shoot most of the time.
However, Su Jiu's offensive efficiency is not very high. Although the shooting rate has eased when he switched to playing off the ball in the second half, if there is no Howard's great power in the paint.
Then the Magic may surrender as early as the first half, facing a worse situation.
全场比赛霍华德一共是出场了高达42分钟,个人在进攻端16投10中,罚球8中4,最终贡献出了24分17篮板以及5次封盖的数据。
Although in Howard's offensive data, a large part of it is the data that Howard only gained when Bynum was off the court.
But compared to the offensive end, Howard's contribution on the defensive end is also very important. Not only did he send out five blocks in the game, but he also took off 17 rebounds.
It can be said that when Lewis is not good at grabbing rebounds at the power forward position of the Magic, Howard faces the Twin Towers alone and can still complete the task of guarding the penalty area. This can definitely be called terrifying.
In addition to Howard, Su Jiu's contribution in this game is also not to be underestimated, although throughout the first half, Su Jiu's offensive efficiency can be described as a mess.
But after switching to playing off the ball in the second half, Su Jiu's offensive efficiency gradually began to pick up.
In the end, Su Jiu, who gradually found the offensive rhythm off the ball, even completed the offensive connection with Howard many times, and finally helped the Magic win the game in one fell swoop.
全场比赛苏久一共是出场了38分钟,个人在进攻端17投7中,其中三分线外11中3,罚球6中5,稳定的贡献出了22分7篮板4次助攻以及3次抢断。
It is no exaggeration to say that Su Jiu's presence on the court is definitely the most tangled area for the Lakers, because compared with Iverson's unstable outside shooting, he can only kill the inside, and Lewis' inside finishing rate is weak, basically only drifting outside.
Su Jiu's all-round attributes on the court are the ones that make the Lakers feel the most headache.
Especially when Su Jiu and Howard were performing a pick-and-roll or connecting, the impact and the series of comprehensive operations that Su Jiu could contribute after that made the Lakers feel helpless.
After all, it was impossible for Zen master Jackson to allow Kobe to match up with Su Jiu for the entire game, and it was even more impossible for Ariza to give up Iverson and choose to defend Su Jiu instead.
Because compared to Iverson who basically only participates in the offense, Su Jiu is not only rich in offensive means, but also has excellent passing ability.
Therefore, when the team's defensive ability on the back line is insufficient, the existence of Su Jiu has obviously become a thorn in Jackson's heart.
Of course, as of now, compared to the difficulties of the Magic, the real headache for Jackson at the moment is the infighting between Kobe and Bynum.
You know, even if you are behind 0:2 in the finals, this does not mean that the team has no hope of a comeback.
But if Jackson can't solve the various contradictions within the team in the future, then facing the Magic in this way, the possibility of losing again in the future is absolutely very high.
And this situation obviously made Jackson feel powerless, because it meant that he had to adjust various internal differences within the team in addition to studying the Magic's tactics.
Even the Zen master Jackson at this moment can't help but think:
"Is this the fucking Lakers toxic or me??"
"Counting now, I have coached the Lakers for three stages in total. As a result, in all three stages, infighting broke out in the playoffs?!"
Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, brothers! !
