NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

After the first quarter, the Lakers fans who watched the live broadcast were excited. They even resisted the offensive and defensive pressure of the Bobcats, and the score was very tight.

This is the home court of the Bobcats. If the Bobcats can win a home court, then the Lakers really have hope of winning the championship.

During the break between sessions, Kongbu frowned and thought.

This point is very tricky for Kobe. He scored 16 points in the first quarter, and his shooting percentage was quite high.

Iguodala looked shy. He felt that the main reason why the Bobcats failed to gain an advantage was that he failed to guard Kobe.

"Coach, let me play!"

"Leave Kobe to me, I can definitely restrain him!"

Artest roared and directly asked Ying to deal with Kobe.

Comb glanced at Artest, and it seems that Artest can only play for a try now.

It's not that Combustion really thinks Artest can defend Kobe better than Iguodala, because under normal circumstances, Artest's confrontation with Kobe not only failed to restrict Kobe, but actually made his offensive efficiency higher than usual. .

Fans must remember the scene when Artest and Kobe exchanged elbows in the playoffs when he was playing for the Rockets. Even though the two were fighting to the death, in fact, Artest did a useless job and did not restrict Kobe's offense at all. .

Against Artest, Kobe averaged about 28 points per game and shot 47.5% from the field. Even three-pointers reached 39%, which is definitely higher than Kobe's normal level.

Now that Iguodala can't be guarded, Kongbu can only try Artest. Even if it doesn't work, it won't be worse than it is now.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe had a joking smile on his face when he saw Artest coming to confront him.

Jackson is an extremely professional coach. He must have helped Kobe analyze the Bobcats' perimeter before the game, especially those players who may be facing Kobe.

Artest is naturally also the target of analysis. He is not a newcomer to the league. He has played in this league for many years, and his defensive style has long been figured out.

Generally speaking, you rely on your strong physique to find confrontation with the opponent, limit the opponent's breakthrough path, and try not to give the opponent as much space as possible to take off.

But once the opponent is given space, there is nothing Artest can do because his jumping ability is almost zero.

Very few outside players would be rated as having zero bounce. Artest is a special case among special cases. He almost never skipped on the court. Even Yao Ming, Yao Ming under normal circumstances, compared with Artest It can be regarded as Tigger.

If you can't jump, how can you defend the opponent's jump shot?This may be why Artest couldn't limit Kobe.

Like James Harden later, his step-back jumper was also a dirty trick that made Artest stare blankly and could only use an elbow.

……

Kobe held the ball and patiently hovered outside the three-point line.

When Artest came forward to press, Kobe used his speed advantage to find Fisher's pick-and-roll, and then took a mid-range shot and hit the net.

The entire offensive round was smooth and fluid, and Artest was not given any chance to get close to him.

"Don't you dare to go one-on-one with me? Ask your teammates for pick-and-rolls? That's cowardly behavior!" Artest angrily spat out trash talk.

Kobe looked at Artest like he was a fool.

In the regular season, Artest's trash talk might have some effect, but now it's the finals. Even if Kobe is a fool, he should know that winning is the key, and everything else is just a cloud.

Kobe's current desire for a championship has reached the point of madness.

In the Bobcats' offensive round, Bosh missed a shot from the outside and the rebound was grabbed by O'Brien. Unfortunately, O'Brien failed to complete the second offensive dunk at the basket.

As soon as he collected the rebound and was about to dunk, he was immediately hugged by the weak Lakers center.

After going to the free throw line, he made one of two free throws.

The next offensive round of the Lakers was still directed by Kobe, but this time Kobe did not take a shot, but found an opportunity to pass to Gasol.

Gasol hit Bosh on the back and also scored two points.

Kongbu was very upset. He felt like the Bobcats were like a reckless man who was proficient in martial arts but couldn't express it on the Lakers.

The key is that Kongbu doesn't have a good way to deal with the Lakers' style of play. He can only hope that his players can gain some momentum.

The turning point for this game came in the second half of the third quarter, when the Lakers even had a five-point advantage.

Seeing that Artest really couldn't guard Kobe, Combs simply got tough and asked the young Hawks Josh Smith to face Kobe, while Artest dealt with Odom.

This arrangement seems a bit absurd, so that a forward who is 206 cm tall can defend Kobe.

But the effect is surprisingly good. The Kitty King's physical hardware is really excellent. It can be said that it can suppress Kobe in all directions. Whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, it is difficult for Kobe to score points on the Kitty King.

Kongbu simply did not stop and used the three-point calibration device on Kitty King, allowing him to be threatening on the offensive end.

With the three-point calibration device, the Eagle King made two three-pointers in just half time of the third quarter.

By the time of the fourth quarter, King Kitty became more and more courageous in the battle, and played confidently. In the fourth quarter, he took 6 three-pointers and hit four of them.

Relying on the Eagle King's six three-pointers in the second half, the Bobcats finally secured their first home game with a score of 104:99, winning the Lakers' five-point advantage.

Kongbu was speechless. He never dreamed that the Bobcats would have to rely on the Eagle King to win their second championship.

When the Eagle King was selected in the draft, Kongbu did not have high expectations for him. During the regular season, his playing time was not as much as Martin's.

In the end, the most inconspicuous person became the savior.

After the game, the Eagle King scored a total of 27 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Looking at his statistics, someone who didn't know it might have thought it was McGrady or Carter.

"Coach, look, I said I definitely have a talent for three-pointers."

"It's just that you never let me shoot three-pointers before!"

Kitty King was so excited after the game that he ran to Kongbu and said with a big smile.

Kongbu had nothing to say. He really didn't let the Eagle King shoot three-pointers before. The main reason was that this guy's shooting ability was too weak. His inside offensive shooting rate was higher than 35%, and his outside offensive shooting rate was only about [-]%. It is impossible for any coach to agree to let him shoot all the time.

Tonight and in the next few finals, the Eagle King will definitely shoot a lot of three-pointers. Kongbu feels that the three-point calibration device is bound to it, which may not be a good thing for the future development of the Eagle King.

Because he tasted the sweetness of shooting three-pointers, he must always be thinking about three-pointers in the future.

It's just that at this moment, Kongbu certainly can't dampen the enthusiasm of the Eagle King's three-pointers. If the Bobcats want to defeat the Lakers, they will have to rely on the Eagle King's three-pointers.

"Josh, why don't you switch to shooting guard in the future, I think you are much better than those four big shooting guards." Ao Pang was cut badly on the court, but he was still very happy when the team won, At this moment, I caught the hero and praised him fiercely.

"I also have this idea. Although my height is a bit too tall, Yi Jianlian can play shooting guard at his height. Why can't I play?"

"Coach, what do you think? If I don't wait until next season, I'll just switch to shooting guard."

Josh Smith asked Kong Sermon with a smile.

Kongbu could only smile and nod helplessly. It seemed that binding a three-point calibration device to Josh Smith would really harm him.

In the next second game, Kongbu simply let Josh Smith start and directly faced Kobe.

Kobe was playing very hard. He was always faced with a big man with tremendous athletic ability. No shooting guard would feel comfortable.

What's even worse is that this big man also has incredible three-point ability, and Kobe has to keep an eye on him.

Even man-marking may not be effective sometimes. It is a very unsolvable matter for a big man and a big man with explosive bounce to shoot three-pointers.

After the game, the Eagle King hit 7 more three-pointers in the game. The shooting rate was not as high as last time, but the three-point shooting rate of 16 of 7 was still higher than [-]%.

Shooting so many three-pointers in the finals with a field goal percentage higher than [-]% is absolutely fatal.

算上突破篮下得分还有罚球得分，小鹰王今晚砍下了31分4篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽，这货的数据真的逐渐分卫化了。

Comb is even thinking about whether he should really switch to shooting guard next season, because after binding the three-point calibration device, the Kitty Hawk King feels a bit invincible playing shooting guard.

After the game, Ao Pang caught the Eagle King and praised him fiercely.

He was destined to win this year's FMVP, but Zen Master has been disgusted with him, which has made his offensive efficiency not high.

Now Ao Pang has looked away. It doesn't matter whether he can win the FMVP or not, as long as he can win the championship.

After finishing the previous two home games of the Bobcats, they arrived at the home court of the Lakers.

"It seems that it is not that easy for the Lakers to complete the miracle of defeating Kongbu."

"I can't seem to wait for this most valuable championship trophy in history."

Barkley did not come to the scene this time. He sat in the commentary room and chatted with his old partner Kenny Smith.

"Charles, which one do you think is the most valuable championship trophy in the entire NBA history so far?" Kenny Smith asked curiously.

He wants to see how shameless Barkley can be. Will it be the 2001 championship trophy, the year Barkley won the championship with the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Huh? Do you still need to ask this question? Of course it is the 98 championship trophy."

"Kumbu coached for a year, led a group of rookies, and then defeated Jordan, shattering the dream of Jordan's second dynasty."

"Can you find a more dreamy championship than this?"

The answer given by Barkley made Kenny Smith nod repeatedly. It seemed that Barkley was not as shameless as he thought.

If this question were asked to Kongbu, the championship with the highest value in Kongbu's heart should be the 2011 championship, which was the year when Nowitzki led the Mavericks to win the championship.

In fact, after the time came to the 21st century, many surprising championships appeared.

For example, the Pistons' grassroots five tigers, for example, the Heat Wade won the championship, and the Raptors defeated the Warriors in 19 years to win the championship.

But in terms of gold content, it must be Nuo Tianwang's victory over the top three giants.

……

When he arrived at the Lakers' home court, Combs was actually ready to lose, or even lose two games in a row. Based on his understanding of Stern, the old man would definitely have to do something, and he would do it blatantly.

Sure enough, the Bobcats lost the third game.

Josh Smith played half the game and received four fouls. As a result, he did not dare to use too many moves against Kobe on the defensive end.

In addition, Kobe scored 16 free throws in this game, made 15 free throws, and scored 37 points.

Originally, Kongbu was prepared to lose in the fourth game, but Ao Pang gave him a surprise.

Ao Pang, who had been cut down in the previous three games, finally started to stand out in this game.

He made six free throws in the first quarter and made 6 of 5 free throws. Zen Master didn't believe in evil and continued to score in the second quarter. In the second quarter, O'Pang made another 7 of 5 free throws!

Zen Master just didn't believe in evil and continued to score in the second half. As a result, Ao Pang scored 19 points in this game just from free throws.

In addition to scoring more free throws, O'Brien also scored as many points in sports tonight, scoring 40 points in the game.

Even though the Lakers had the home court advantage, this game was still won by the Bobcats.

The fifth game came to the home court of the Bobcats. The Bobcats won this game extremely thrillingly. Until the end of the game with ten seconds left, the Bobcats only led by one point. The key was the Lakers' possession of the ball.

Once the Lakers succeed in winning the game, the next game at the Lakers' home court is likely to tie the Lakers at 3:3, and the two sides will enter a tiebreaker.

Kongbu simply took a gamble and took down O'Brien and replaced him with Iguodala, letting Josh Smith, Iguodala and Artest work together to prevent Kobe's buzzer-beater.

If it were other players from other teams, Kongbu would definitely not do such a crazy thing.

But this is Kobe. If Kobe would be willing to miss this lore opportunity, Comb would definitely not believe it.

The result was just as Kongbu expected. In the last three seconds, even though he was already facing Josh Smith and Iguodala, Kobe still took action resolutely.

"boom!"

The lore failed, the basketball bounced out of the rim, and Kumbu was frightened into a cold sweat.

Sometimes the last thing Kongbu wants to face is players like Kobe, because they don't play according to common sense at all.

Fortunately, God was not on Kobe's side this time, and he missed the buzzer beater.

In this way, the Bobcats won another championship. In the second year after the team was founded, they won the second championship trophy in team history.

Kongbu also achieved his feat of eight consecutive championships. Now he is only one final championship away from nine consecutive championships and three dynasties.

Having won so many championships, it’s not overly exciting to say how excited Kongbu is at the moment. Compared to winning the championship, Kongbu may be more interested in the upcoming draft. (end of this chapter)
