The momentum of the Lakers suddenly rose, and they fell behind for most of the game. After a while, they finally took the lead, which was not considered a lead, but in the fourth quarter, they were considered to be in the lead. All the Lakers players, regardless of Be it on the field or off the field, it was like a different person in an instant, full of energy and unwavering will.

Sometimes the situation on the court is like this, changing rapidly, leading may become lagging at any time, the trailing side may become leading, and the leading side does not necessarily take the initiative, and sometimes the trailing side may have more momentum, see It also looks more like a side that is about to win, which is the case now.

Of the six points scored by the Lakers, Kobe Bryant alone accounted for two-thirds. From this point, it can be seen that the tactics will not reduce his points, just like the tactics of the Sonics. It's like letting Stephen reduce the score, because the tactics are for them.

While the Lakers were determined to score, the reason why the Sonics failed to score was because they lacked a core figure. Stephen was off the field, and Russell Westbrook played for him. Stupid move, Russell Westbrook has height and strength, and is proactive in defense, but this means that when he is in the position of point guard, let him play shooting guard, regardless of height and strength. The main thing is that in the position of shooting guard, Kobe Bryant is second only to Stephen in being good at post-up play.

His back attack is not as powerful as Stephen's, but he will flexibly use his own physical advantages. If you use your strength to carry him, he can turn to your side with a twist, and when you spare the strength When guarding against his other moves, he will harden with power, then get to the basket and score. [

This is how he got all four points. If Russell Westbrook hadn’t seen the opportunity early, he would have almost made a foul. After the Sonics lost Stephen, although Kevin Durant and Yao Ming returned to the court, but the two of them could not connect together, they could only fight on their own, and this also gave the Lakers a chance to break through each.

Trevor Ariza seems to be very ineffective in defending Stephen. He is often squeezed by Stephen and can't keep up with Stephen's footsteps. But after facing Kevin Durant, he can see his defensive skills. The defensive method does not focus on being close, because he is very aware of his body control ability. If he is too close, the opponent can easily deceive himself, and then either get rid of his own defense or deceive himself into fouling, so Trevor Ariza The defense is very careful. Basically, it is a state of invisibility, which can prevent you from shooting and also prevent you from breaking through.

But facing Kevin Durant, he boldly posted it, because he knew that Kevin Durant's shot was very fast and needed very little space, so he changed his defensive method, posted it, and It is a very oppressive post, making Kevin Durant want to shoot and can only retreat, forcing him to stay away from the basket as much as possible, and he can only use the way of leaning back when shooting.

Although Kevin Durant said that after two seasons of enhanced training, he still lost to Trevor Ariza in terms of strength. , He is not as good as Trevor Ariza, after all, people rely on this for a living, but he relies on shooting for a living.

As for Yao Ming's defense, the Lakers adopted two double-teams. Lamar Odom went around to prevent Yao Ming from approaching, and Pau Gasol waited behind to block the shot. They did not fight against Yao Ming. Trying hard, but preventing Yao Ming from getting the ball, and once Yao Ming gets the ball, when he finds out that he can't stop it, Lamar Odom will foul early. Anyway, the game just started in the fourth quarter, and there is no need for free throws .

However, when Stephen is not on the court, it is very difficult for Yao Ming to receive the ball, because no one will pass the ball to him so actively except Stephen. With that initiative, we were playing according to tactics anyway, it’s just that we didn’t take that side.

At this time, all the fans looked at Stephen, who was sitting there drinking Gatorade, hoping that he could return to the court as soon as possible and lead the team to win this game. After all, this is the battle of Tianwangshan, and Stephen will play in previous games. It's unreasonable that such an important game needs to rest.

If Stephen wants to say that he needs to rest, he really needs to rest. His role on the field is not single. In offense, he sometimes needs to play the role of organizer, deploy the team's offense, and sometimes needs to play the role of attacker. Even if he does not When participating in the offensive round, he also needs to keep an eye on his teammates to prevent them from making mistakes or misses. In defense, he not only needs to guard against super scorers like Kobe Bryant, but also takes care of other players. Teammates fill in.

It can be said that whether it is offense or defense, he is used as a half-man, and his physical strength, energy, and concentration will be consumed rapidly, not to mention that he is the only player on the team who has never rested, even if he is Iron Man. I will also feel unbearable, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired. Don’t look at him drinking water now, his eyes seem to be looking at the court. In fact, this moment, he has entered an ethereal state mentally. What? He didn't even think about it. This is the best way to recover after deep sleep, and his body is also relaxing moderately. This is only extremely relaxing, because there is only a short time to rest. If you relax too much, wait until you return to the field. There is no way to maintain sufficient tension in the muscles.

So Stephen didn't see what happened on the field at all, and he didn't know that the Lakers suddenly took the offensive initiative and narrowed the score. He felt that with the Lakers in the front state, coupled with Yao Ming and Kevin Du With Rand playing, even if the team can't expand the lead, at least the problem of maintaining the current point difference should not be a big problem, but they didn't expect that his sudden exit would plunge the team's offense into chaos.

At this time, if Carlesimo replaced Earl Watson, it would be better. Although Earl Watson's offense and defense seem to be inferior to Jarrett Jack, but he is very important to the team's organization, especially the main force. The organization of the lineup is much better than that of Jarrett Jack, not to mention that the organization of the team is not in the hands of Jarrett Jack, but in the hands of Russell Westbrook.

He only saw the advantages and strengths of Russell Westbrook or Jarrett Jack, but only saw the shortcomings and weaknesses of Earl Watson. He felt that there was a problem with the team's offense now. Vin Durant was restrained by the opponent, but relied more on the offense of Russell Westbrook and Jarrett Jack, and gave them instructions to fully and boldly play themselves. As a result, the two seemed to be out of control Like the wild horse, it doesn't care about the situation of other teammates, and keeps breaking through and breaking through.

Because Russell Westbrook has no long-range shooting ability, and Jarrett Jack only has a relatively reliable mid-range shot. The Lakers have already studied the offensive characteristics of these two people. As long as the defensive players oppress them, they can only break through in one direction. Then Lamar Odom from the inside came out to block. The two of them either made mistakes or made panic shots. Naturally, the shooting rate would not be ideal.

Of course, this is because the Lakers have a Lamar Odom, who has height, wingspan and weight, but he is still very flexible at his feet, and his anticipation awareness is also first-rate. It can be said that Lamar Odom, who is fully focused, At least Kevin Garnett, who is best at this kind of defense, probably has the skill.

Russell Westbrook and Jarrett Jack are the kind of players who will not turn off the offensive switch once they are turned on. Although they can occasionally score points, they disrupt the team's offense. But at this time Carlesimo seemed to want to show his calmness in the face of danger. No matter what, he didn't make any substitutions. When Stephen came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the team was chased by the Lakers and was only three points away. At this time, Carlesimo Seamo called a timeout, and Stephen stood up directly regardless of what was going on in the previous game.

Carlesimo knew what to do at this time. Since Kurt Thomas was a little tired, but Yao Ming was not tired, the insider just replaced Kurt Thomas and Serge Ibaka. The two point guards who can only attack have also been replaced, replaced by Earl Watson and Stephen to form a backcourt lineup.

As soon as he came up, Earl Watson made an unexpected error in his pass and sent the ball directly into the hands of Kobe Bryant, who took a big stride and two steps into his own half , and then jumped up and directly made a large three-pointer to tie the score. At the same time, he raised his own personal score to forty points, which was only five points away from Stephen's 45 points.

Facing the provocative eyes of Kobe Bryant, Stephen did not respond, but patted Earl Watson's shoulder comfortingly, telling him not to think too much, and after returning to receive the pass from Earl Watson, Stephen directly broke through with small steps. Although Trevor Ariza tried his best to squeeze Stephen, Stephen was not at all able to squeeze him. He hit the basket and scored two points.

Kobe Bryant tried another three-point shot, probably trying to overtake the score in one fell swoop, but unfortunately the ball was a little bit stronger, and most of them went into the frame and came out again. Yao Ming roared, squeezed Pau Gasol and snatched it The rebound was then passed to Stephen. Stephen's fast break attracted the opponent's defense, but the ball was thrown to Kevin Durant behind him. Kevin Durant scored a dunk and widened the point difference again. [

Phil Jackson saw that the momentum of the Sonics was up again, and immediately stood up and called a timeout.
