Chapter 132 The Black Mamba Returns! (twenty three)

An incredible scene appeared.In the first quarter, the Lakers actually used such a lineup to draw with the Cavaliers!James in Cleveland is basically contending with the Lakers on his own!
26：26！湖人的球员们并没有太高兴。他们和骑士上半场打完后54：52！还比骑士多了2分！
"Coach Jackson is really amazing! Such a Lakers lineup has been revitalized by him!"

"I guess he is betting that the other players of the Cavaliers are not too strong. He should be right on this point." Yu X said to a guest at this time.

"Brown seems to be a bit helpless now. After all, their team's current level is here. It is almost impossible to make great results."

"I heard that Kobe is coming back recently. To be honest, I hope he will come back later. During this period of time, these rookies of the Lakers have been brought up! Zhou Yang also proved himself in a few games! I guess the coach asked him to start. there is a reason"

"Oh? Yu X, let's hear it"

"Zhou Yang is a smart player. If his ability is basically the same as that of some big players in the league today, Zen Master shouldn't let him play too much time. But Zhou Yang is constantly playing in such an environment. Try to avoid the one-on-one opportunities with you like James today. That's wise."

"I think Zhou Yang can give it a try~"

"He should know LeBron's strength by now. Seeing is worth seeing. After seeing him today, Zhou Yang should have his own plan. One of the reasons why Jackson is willing to use him should be this. He can attack by himself on the court. You can also pass the ball quickly to your teammates.”

After the first half, the players exhausted a lot of energy.Especially on the Lakers side, it's natural for the Cavaliers to fight like this!Zhou Yang didn't play in the second quarter, and the Zen master had other arrangements for him.

Outside the media, the audience was surprised how Cleveland was overtaken by the Lakers in the first half, and Zen master was already thinking about what to do in the third quarter.The Lakers did not lead the Cavaliers by more than 5 points as he expected.
The little emperor must not be reconciled to his current physical strength!If this continues, one situation that may arise is that LeBron gets high scores again, and then leads the team to win with difficulty.In order to prevent this from happening, Jackson made adjustments to the lineup in the second quarter.

When the third quarter came back, the Cavaliers' lineup was Varejao, Marshall, James, Ira, and Snow.On the Lakers side are Mihm, Zhou Yang, Cook, Vujacic and Devon!
LeBron saw Zhou Yang immediately after getting the basketball!This guy made him feel less comfortable now.He always ran away when he was singled out, and now he can only ignore him and continue to play.

He also didn't expect that the team would fall behind the Lakers.Now the opponent is a team without a top center and Kobe!This result is not only James, but his teammates also feel that morale is quite frustrated.

After arriving in the frontcourt, LeBron planned to make a mid-range shot, but Zhou Yang suddenly made a shot that directly interfered with his shot!

"I didn't look for you, but you came to your door!!" The little emperor seemed to be irritated immediately, and immediately went to grab a rebound!Mihm gets the rebound first and then passes to Vujacic.The latter hit a three-pointer with a jumper! 57:52!

James angrily shook his head with his hands on his hips and watched Ira get the ball, and he ran across the half court.When approaching Cook, he glanced at Zhou Yang beside him.At this time, Zhou Yang looked at the basketball in Iraq's hand as if nothing happened.

"It seems that he can't be completely ignored! This guy!" James is so angry!To say that the player Zhou Yang is not incompetent.But why didn't you dare to compete with him? !

LeBron asked for the ball and Ira didn't give it to him. Varejao got the ball and hit the meme with his back!
Vujacic took the ball to the front court, and his movements were very careful.While watching the game, Jackson was thinking about going back after the road trip.

It's rare for Kobe to take the initiative to call him.What surprised Zen Master even more was that Kobe said on the phone that he wanted to make the Lakers more united during the regular season!

His words suddenly made people feel a little unreliable.With Kobe's own defense sometimes yelling at his players on the court will make the team less "unite".

But what he said was a good signal after all.If he does not do well in some places, Kobe may listen to his coach's ideas with his current attitude.

Another thing to consider is how the Lakers should play after Kobe comes back.Jackson is still quite surprised that the team can play to the present level.

So what happens when Kobe returns?As long as Vujacic plays stably, he will still give him as much playing time as possible!Such a Laker is really exciting!
After Zhou Yang got the ball and saw James running, he immediately used the opponent Marshall to make a pick-and-roll and scored a layup. It's not that the other players of the Cavaliers were unable to guard him.It's that Zhou Yang's actions in this game are too special
According to everyone's usual thinking, Zhou Yang should have passed the ball immediately, but he didn't.The Lakers still maintain the lead!After Snow's jumper missed, Zhou Yang immediately got the ball and went to the frontcourt, when he jumped up to make a shooting action.After James jumped up, he saw Zhou Yang pass the ball in the air from a close distance!

After getting the basketball, Devin shot a three-pointer and hit the net! 62:54!

The Lakers finally won the Cavaliers in this state.It was only at the end of the game that they felt that Zen Master had something to say.

本场比赛古登拿到9分7篮板1盖帽，马绍尔16分4篮板2助攻，詹姆斯28分6篮板3盖帽！休斯10分2篮板3助攻，斯诺12分3篮板6助攻！

湖人这边奥多姆15分10篮板2助攻！周杨19分3篮板5助攻！沃顿7分2篮板9助攻！武贾西奇21分2助攻，费舍尔17分4篮板3助攻！

107:105!Basically, the players on the Lakers side have done a lot of running without the ball on the court!Compared with the Lakers, the Cavaliers seem very passive!Two news stories that night were more eye-catching. One was that the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers, and Walton got a game-high 9 assists!The other is that Kobe announced his return to the team!

Luke is very happy after this game!Kobe had calmed down by this time.His goal now is to lead the team to a good game in the playoffs!The ultimate goal is to win the championship this season!
The conflict with O'Neill still made him feel uncertain.But the current Lakers somewhat gave him some hope.When a team is still running after leaving you, Kobe's bloated state fades away.

He knew what a Zen master was like.As long as he is still with the Lakers for one day, he has the final say on who should play on the team.Jackson knows that he can be "ruthless" with his players twice a season.

Get angry with your players all the time and they don't listen to you much.And this season, Zen Master used it once during pre-season training.It can be seen how disappointed and urgent he is with the current state of the Lakers players!

Not long after the start of the regular season, Kobe and O'Neal got into trouble again.But they found that the difference between this time and the previous seasons was that Zen Master didn't care about them.Just said a few words and left.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.You can do whatever you want.If you want to fight, you will be beaten, if you don't, you will be hospitalized.

Jackson has focused more on the other Lakers this season.He knew that even if he made it to the finals, it wasn't enough for O'Neal and Kobe to score.

This season's Lakers, whether they are old players or young players, must improve their abilities!The Lakers played well without Kobe and the Sharks, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the two.

They don't know what the team management means yet.If there is a stalemate, the playing time of the two players will be limited for a season. At worst, Jackson will leave directly.Will Kobe and O'Neal be affected by this next season?

The two of them have also experienced Jackson's tolerance for them during the years of getting along with the Zen master.Sometimes there is almost no limit to tolerance!But this kind of tolerance is not connivance!

It is the Zen master's trust in them and the decompression for them in some aspects.

Can other coaches do this?Can other coaches give them so much leave?What if a new coach comes and directly offends him?Even if Kobe is not affected by playing time, I am afraid that the salary may not be so high when he signs the contract next time.

Although Kobe still feels that Zhou Yang is an eyesore these days, this guy is really capable!Just coming to the NBA in the first grade and being the first rookie in points per game is not something everyone can do.

"This time your leg injury doesn't seem to be a bad thing at all," Jackson said to Kobe Bryant with ease after calling him into his office.

"Yes, I thought about it a lot. I thought about it for more than two hours until yesterday," Kobe said while sitting on a chair with a calm expression.

"That's good! The Lakers have always been strong. Have you watched the latest game?" Zen Master wanted to hear Kobe's opinion on the recent performance of the Lakers right away.He is looking forward to this guy can boast of these new Lakers.

"no"

".We have won several games recently! Zhou Yang and Vujacic's performance is quite outstanding!"

"It's just a small fight. Oh yes, in the future games, I hope they can continue to maintain like the previous games. Don't drag the team down. I have nothing to do."

Kobe still looked straight at Jackson indifferently and walked out of Zen Master's office quietly after finishing speaking.

"I don't know why, but he just doesn't want to talk to the head coach about these 'high school kids'. He thinks the boy is too young. Have they ever seen the playoffs? Have they played the Western Conference Finals and the Finals?"

Kobe has championship rings from previous years at home.Such an honor is earned.It is not something that can be obtained by performing well in a few games.

"You're back. I'm so glad to see you again!" Xiaoyu was the first to hug Kobe after seeing him appear in the training hall.The two talked a lot.Kobe, who was wearing sunglasses, also showed a rare smile.

Then Kobe walked from Fisher to the locker room without saying hello to anyone, and immediately went into training by himself.

This fire has been held in my heart for a long time.Kobe is holding back until now, he can't wait to play the game now!He wants his team to see what the Lakers look like without Kobe, and what they look like with Kobe! !

The Rockets will come to Los Angeles in the next game, and they will play again!Everyone on the Lakers side was very happy after Kobe came back!

After all, the Rockets' current "Yao-Mai combination" is really good! !

"The opponent's defensive awareness is very good, and there is Yao Ming at the basket. So I ask you to find a good opportunity before attacking. The opponent is patient, so should we." Before the game, Master Zen instructed the players.

"Rebounds, rebounds should be treated as a main goal. Players on the outside should attack more."

Van Gundy didn't forget to say something to the players after the warm-up was over.

The Rockets lineup today is Yao Ming, Mutombo, Tracy McGrady, Alstom, Derek.The starters for the Lakers are Odom, Brown, Zhou Yang, Kobe and Fisher in turn!
Kobe did not speak to Zhou Yang before the game.Just quietly waiting for the game to start.

Yao Ming got the ball first and immediately passed it to McGrady.After the latter came to the frontcourt, he directly hit a three-pointer!Zhou Yang went to the sidelines to serve, and he immediately uploaded it after seeing Kobe asking for the ball.

Kobe came to the frontcourt alone, and after seeing McGrady coming over, he huddled with him for a few seconds and then suddenly jumped up and made a three-pointer! !The atmosphere at the scene suddenly rose!Both Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant are now terrifying offensively! !
Alston quickly ran to the frontcourt.Van Gundy immediately stomped on the sidelines in a hurry!
"Speed ​​down! Speed ​​down!" Alston heard the coach's second sentence. After Derek got the ball, he jumped up and made a three-pointer!The Rockets coach was so anxious that he was about to go berserk!
Like Zen Master, he does not want the two teams to fight immediately.But the players on the Rockets side were obviously irritated by Kobe.Odom got the basketball and passed it to Kobe, who came to the frontcourt and made another three-pointer! ! 6:3!

The fans at the Staples Center began to shout at this time!The voice of "MVP" can still be vaguely heard!

After McGrady took the basketball, he walked to the front court slowly, and Kobe followed directly!Zhou Yang had no choice but to guard against Alstom.Zen master is not in a hurry at this time, as long as the score is not too far behind.

After Yao Ming got the basketball, he singled out Odom and missed a jumper.After Zhou Yang got the rebound, Kobe began to ask for the ball, feeling like he was back to the beginning of the season.Zhou Yang still passed it on.

Facing McGrady and Derek's double-teaming Kobe in the previous scene, he passed the ball directly to Xiaoyu.The latter jumped up and scored three points! 9:3!

The Lakers are now brought up by Kobe in rhythm at the beginning of the game!Jackson is also watching how long the Lakers can play at this pace.If Kobe's team's score is still behind on the field, then he will have to consider when to make a substitution.
