So, look at Kobe's subjective initiative!

That's why I say.......

In Su Feng's heart, Nash and Iverson are but fleeting clouds, only Kobe is true love?

However, on the court, as the game progressed, Kobe quickly realized that the traditional method of racking up assists was not applicable to tonight's game.

Uh.......

Simply put, the traditional method of racking up assists was not only inefficient, but its conversion rate was also pitifully low against the Trail Blazers' defense.

Therefore, as a player with a great pioneering and innovative spirit, at the end of the first quarter, during the break, Kobe looked at Su Feng and suggested, "In the second quarter, before I come on, take it easy.

The Trail Blazers will definitely strengthen their defense against you.

So in the second quarter, after I come back, I might as well break through a few times first.

Once I help you open up the offensive space, then you just have to catch and shoot!"

Good heavens!

The sky is blue, and Kobe Bryant is outside the window, right?

You dog, don't tell me Westbrook isn't your disciple?

And on the side, after noticing that Su Feng and Kobe were discussing the tactics for the second quarter, Coach Lue also took the initiative to come forward with the tactical board and said, "If you want to help Kobe rack up assists, then I suggest we should do this, and this.......”

Hearing this, Kobe looked up at Coach Lue and suddenly understood why Su Feng said that Coach Lue would definitely become a famous coach in the future.

Because Coach Lue's comprehension.......

Is beyond what can be described as simply gifted?

And at this moment, Van Gundy, who originally thought that he had perfectly integrated into this Lakers team, was completely dumbfounded.

Because he really couldn't believe.......

That an NBA head coach would be so blatantly designing tactics in a game to help his players rack up stats!

And!

Shouldn't this precious break time be used to seriously discuss specific game strategies?

Why have you guys already started researching how to help Kobe get assists!

And on the sidelines, turning to look at Van Gundy, perhaps seeing what he was thinking, Little Lue patted Old Van on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Jeff, you're the defense expert.

In your opinion, how can we ensure that Kobe passes the ball to Su every time under the strict defense of the Trail Blazers?"

Van Gundy: ".......”

Me.......

Is my defensive talent used in this kind of place?

"As far as I know, Rick is not a coach who is good at defense.

And it's not hard to see from tonight's first quarter that his so-called strengthening of defense is just to make the Trail Blazers players more focused on man-to-man defense.

So in my opinion, as long as our inside players can give Su a timely screen when he comes out of the inside, Kobe will be able to pass the ball to Su immediately." Van Gundy said to Coach Lue before the start of the second quarter.

"What if they double-team Su?" Coach Lue asked.

"That has to wait until Su receives the ball.

But if I remember correctly, Su only needs 0.5 seconds to complete his shot." After pondering for two seconds, Van Gundy continued.

"I understand what you mean, Jeff!

You mean, as long as Su can directly form an offense the moment he receives the ball, then the Trail Blazers' defense will have no way to deal with us." Coach Lue suddenly realized.

"Theoretically, that's right.......

But even if we don't consider Su's stamina with this style of play.......

Su can't always maintain his touch." Van Gundy reminded.

"I understand, but didn't we lead by 11 points in the first quarter?" Pointing to the scoreboard of 23 to 34 in the first quarter, Coach Lue said.

"Then if that's the case, I suggest we appropriately reduce our defensive intensity to increase our and the Trail Blazers' offensive possessions." Van Gundy suggested.

Hearing this, Coach Lue looked at Van Gundy with a surprised expression and said, "Jeff, I never expected that you were also an expert at helping players rack up stats!"

Van Gundy: ".......”

Me.......

Wasn't I forced to do this by life?

"Okay, that's settled then. The second quarter will start normally. After Kobe comes on, the points and rebounds will go to Su, and the assists will go to Kobe." On the Lakers' bench, before the two teams' players were about to go on, Coach Lue said calmly, looking at the Lakers' generals.

Before the game, because everyone had received gifts from Su Feng, these players hated that they couldn't give all their stats to Su Feng for a while.

What points, rebounds, assists?

Those are all external things!

As long as Brother Feng is happy.......

Even if Jordan is on the opposite side tonight, these Lakers players will have to kill Jordan to cheer up Su Feng!

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers attacked first.

In order to ensure that Su Feng and Kobe would not have any worries when racking up stats in the second half, even Little Mo, who was not good at defense, invited Allen Iverson of Portland to possess him on the court!

On the Trail Blazers' side, Paul, who did not rest in the second quarter, was dumbfounded.

Because according to the original plan, he would bear some of the offensive responsibilities for the Trail Blazers when they couldn't open up the situation at the beginning of this quarter.

But facing Little Mo, who was like a hellhound.......

You can't let me, who has always played reasonably, violate my conscience and choose to waste opportunities, right?

This season, Battier and Fernandez are very suitable for playing Princeton in the Trail Blazers' second unit, so after observing the situation, Paul decisively chose to pass the ball to Battier, who came out of the inside to receive the ball.

But.......

Just as Fernandez was preparing to cut into the Lakers' restricted area according to the established route.......

Livingston, who was pouncing on him, was no longer a question of being fierce.......

But he was like a piece of chewing gum, firmly holding onto Fernandez!

Who gave me, Shawn Livingston, the opportunity to be reborn from the ashes?

And who was it that made me pick up the confidence that had already been shattered by injuries?

Tonight may just be a regular season game for you!

But for me, Shawn Livingston.......

This is my NBA Finals!

Run!

Keep running!

Even if I can't catch up with the me in the sunset.......

I will also run a sunny avenue for Brother Feng!

No one is born to run!

But I can run out of my own life!

On the court, the Trail Blazers' players were numb.

Because they had been having a smooth season, where had they encountered such desperate opponents in the regular season?

On the sidelines, on the Lakers' bench, seeing this, Kobe also waved his towel and shouted to his teammates on the court, "Don't give up! Come on, Lakers!"

Trail Blazers players: ".......”

No!

You're leading by 11 points, what do you mean don't give up!

emmm.......

Obviously, the Trail Blazers players didn't know that Kobe's cheering was for Livingston.

Perhaps it was because they had both suffered injuries that could ruin their careers.......

Usually, besides Su Feng, Kobe is the most caring person for Livingston in the Lakers team.

And what makes Kobe extremely gratified is.......

Livingston himself is also very competitive. In terms of his investment in training, he is definitely the most hardworking person in the Lakers team besides himself and Su Feng.

Therefore, to this day.......

Kobe also wants to open his eyes wide to see what extent Livingston can achieve on the court.

And on the sidelines, looking at Coach Lue, Van Gundy said, "When do you plan to bring on Kobe?"

Coach Lue thought for a while, "When there are about 7 minutes left in this quarter."

Van Gundy shook his head, "I suggest you bring on Kobe sooner rather than later."

Coach Lue couldn't figure it out for a moment, "Why?"

Van Gundy said bluntly, "Because I'm worried that we will collapse this Trail Blazers team in the first half of this quarter.

And in that case.......

We will be suspected of racking up stats at that time."

Coach Lue: ".......”

Holy crap!

What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!

"Jeff, why do I feel more and more that you are completely different from what the outside world describes the longer I work with you?" Looking at Van Gundy, Coach Lue said.

And after sighing deeply.......

Looking up at the ceiling of the Staples Center.......

Van Gundy also felt that he seemed to have changed recently.

As a coach who can't wait to torture the opponent to death with defense.......

Can you believe that tonight he actually took the initiative to suggest to Tyronn Lue that the Lakers could appropriately reduce their defensive intensity in the game?

"I probably know now why I used to make everyone unhappy." After pausing, Van Gundy said to Coach Lue.

Hearing this, Coach Lue smiled and said, "There are many things in life that are worth our efforts.

Jeff, you don't need to blame yourself for feeling that you have violated your basketball philosophy.

Because in my opinion, giving the ball to Su is the strongest tactic of this Lakers team."

Van Gundy nodded, "If it weren't for this, how could I have agreed to your messing around?

To be honest, I have only now realized that looking forward to a player scoring points on the court is such a cool thing."

Coach Lue shrugged, "We can look forward to more than just Su scoring points tonight.

Don't forget, we still have Kobe."

……

In the second quarter, with 9 minutes and 04 seconds left, because Su Feng committed a kicking violation while defending, the Staples Center suddenly turned into a sea of joy.

Uh.......

The Lakers fans naturally couldn't have been climaxing because Su Feng completed a clearance like a guard.

But because.......

This is the first time Kobe has come back so early this season.

"Wow, Kobe came on so early in the second quarter today.

It seems that his recent recovery has been quite good." Zhang Zhizheng said with a smile on CCTV.

"In this game, Kobe Bryant contributed 5 assists for the Los Angeles Lakers in the first quarter, playing only 7 minutes.

After returning from injury this year, Kobe has obviously intentionally transformed into Su Feng's right-hand man, and fully restrained his scoring desire on the offensive end." And on the side, Sun Zhengping said after pondering for two seconds.

On the court, after looking deeply at Kobe, Su Feng found that he hadn't been as nervous as he was tonight for a long time.

Although Su Feng at this time has not yet realized that he has become Kobe's tool for racking up assists.......

But this does not prevent him, who has already scored 23 points for the Lakers at this time, from feeling that the money he spent before the game was worth it.

Staples Center, after the Lakers substituted players, Paul shot a goal.

Observing that the Lakers' defense was slightly loose after the substitution, Paul did not miss the opportunity.

32 to 45.

Coming back, the Lakers attacked.

Kobe went straight to the restricted area with the help of Jordan's screen at the high post.

Since returning from this injury, Kobe has not shown this kind of breakthrough that relies on speed to eat opponents to Kobe fans for a long time.

In the Trail Blazers' restricted area, Kobe gracefully sent the ball into the basket with a layup.

32 to 47.

And on the sidelines, watching Fernandez being easily passed by Kobe, Carter suddenly became anxious!

Because in Carter's eyes, Kobe didn't even dare to shoot the basket when he defended Kobe before.......

So how could he accept seeing Kobe scoring so easily on the court at this moment?

However, what Carter couldn't accept was still behind.

On the court, after Paul found Battier at the bottom corner through a ground pass, and he shot a three-pointer for the Trail Blazers, Kobe scored two points for the Lakers again through a breakthrough as soon as he came back.

"Coach, send me on the court, don't let Kobe score like this anymore!" On the sidelines, Carter said, looking at Adelman.

Adelman hesitated.

"Can you limit Kobe's breakthrough?" Adelman asked.

Carter, who was questioned by Adelman, was angry, "There is no word 'impossible' in the North Carolina people's dictionary!"

Hearing this, Adelman was first surprised, and then he noticed that his unintentional words had almost destroyed the relationship between him and the team's stars.

So, while taking advantage of a dead ball to replace Carter, Adelman pulled the Trail Blazers' two inside players to his side and instructed them, "No matter what, you must pay more attention to Kobe's breakthrough next."

As a coach who has coached in the NBA for many years, Adelman knows how much these NBA stars care about their face.

So Adelman, who felt that he had hurt Carter, originally wanted everyone to help Carter defend Kobe together.

In this way, after Carter regains his face, he will be able to find a step down at that time.

It's just that Adelman, who thought he was knowledgeable, didn't know.......

That tonight's Los Angeles Lakers will open his eyes in the next game.

On the court, as soon as he came on the court, Carter hit a mid-range shot in front of Kobe.

"You don't think I will let you because you just returned from injury, right?" And, after scoring, Carter did not forget to say to Kobe with a special tone.

And if it was in the past, Kobe would definitely have a three-hundred-round battle with Carter.

But tonight.......

"If you think you can defend me, then you can try it!

To deal with you, I don't even need to shoot, you know?

Because me passing you is like passing the road in the early morning!" Looking at Carter, Kobe retorted.

And on the side, watching Carter, who was stimulated by Kobe.......

Su Feng also quietly gave Kobe a thumbs up!

Good heavens!

Does Kobe already know how to use tricks?

On the court, the Lakers attacked.

At the moment when Kobe got the ball at the high post, in order to prevent Kobe from breaking through, Carter deliberately left a distance between him and Kobe.

And in the Trail Blazers' restricted area, Ratliff and Rufin were also on standby, paying attention to Kobe's dribbling movements at all times.

However, at this moment.......

Faster than words can tell, I saw a figure running out at a 45-degree angle, and Battier, who was solidly blocked by Da Ben, didn't even have time to remind him, Kobe found Su Feng with a tortoise-style pass!

Swish!

And Staples, as Su Feng took action and scored his 26th personal point in this game, Kobe also successfully harvested his 6th assist in this game!

The Los Angeles "Double Tortoise Connection", just ask if you are afraid!

Coming back, the Trail Blazers returned the favor with a three-pointer from Carter at the top of the arc.

The Lakers had the ball, while taunting Carter with words, Kobe was also observing Su Feng's every move at the high post.

As one of the best wing defense experts in the league today, Battier is good at help defense and fill-ins, but Su Feng just wants to compete with him in running.......

As a result, Battier suffered.

Because no matter how high Battier's defensive insight is, he can't stand Su Feng's slipping like this!

On the court, during the continuous running process, Su Feng suddenly decelerated and then accelerated, using Jordan's screen to throw Battier behind him.

On the Trail Blazers' wing, Carter's attention was always on Kobe.

And even if Paul made up for the defense in front of Su Feng.......

You can't let my point guard jump up and hit Su Feng's knee, right?

This season, in the regular season, the Trail Blazers' mercury-like offense has masked many of their problems on the defensive end.

It's just ridiculous to say.......

Because in the past few seasons, they were still the best defensive team in this league.......

Van Gundy's judgment is not a problem at all.

Adelman, who is not good at defense, has not created a defensive system for this Trail Blazers team that matches its offense.

The reason why they were able to give people the illusion that they were good at defense before was just because their players themselves had excellent defensive qualities and could give enough pressure in one-on-one defense.

And this.......

Undoubtedly provided an excellent stage for the "Double Tortoise Combination" to swim in the sewer tonight!

At the high post, Tortoise Kobe passed the ball to Tortoise Su in the first time.

In order to shoot before the Trail Blazers' inside players made up for the defense, Su Feng did not dribble two steps back, but shot this three-point line stepping three-pointer at a position one step inside the right wing three-point line.

In Su Feng's previous life, Durant of the Thunder often received the ball and shot directly from this position.

Because as the two weak links of the defensive sector, as long as the other party fails to keep up in the first time, then at the position one step inside the three-point line on the left and right sides, you are equal to conducting shooting training.

You must know that in the NBA, for these supermen with long arms and legs, even 0.5 seconds of extra movement may make them pounce in front of you.......

Therefore, in modern basketball, teams that completely abandon mid-range shots often have unstable situations in the game.

So even if the cost-effectiveness of this long-distance long two-pointer is not high.

Su Feng also often shoots this kind of long two-pointer in the game.

Swish!

On the court, Su Feng's ball went in again. Volcano Literature

And Kobe's assists also rose to 7.

The Trail Blazers had the ball.

Paul's dry pull-up missed, and Da Ben was in the basket, creating enough time for Su Feng to come back and pick up the rebound.

On CCTV, Sun Zhengping, seeing this scene, said with emotion, "Su Feng's awareness of fighting for rebounds is really too good."

Ha!

More than just good awareness?

Just now, the Lakers' inside players were just short of building a red carpet for Su Feng, letting him take a show first and then come back to grab the rebound!

Damn Su Thief!

Shameless!

On the court, the Lakers attacked.

This time, Su Feng feigned to ask for the ball on the wing to single-handedly attack, but just at the moment when Battier had already braced himself, waiting for Su Feng to collide, Su Feng suddenly accelerated and flashed out half a position.

At the same time. Before Battier could slide forward, Da Ben stood sideways between the two.

Immediately afterwards.

A tortoise-style pass.

An exquisite mid-range shot.

At this moment.......

The entire stadium was filled with the free and fragrant atmosphere of the sewer!

On the sidelines, the Trail Blazers requested a timeout.

After the timeout, Garnett, Przydilla, and Pierce returned to the court.

On the Lakers' side, Gasol, Marion, and Dragic were replaced.

On the court, the Trail Blazers attacked, Garnett's iron-blooded dry pull-up at the right wing high post hit.

Coming back, the Lakers attacked.

Kobe, who only had Su Feng in his eyes, at this moment, didn't care about Carter's provocation to him?

And Su Feng, who was single-mindedly focused on scoring, didn't care where Pierce, who had passed through him because Gasol didn't screen well, was pouncing in front of him at this ball?

The first principle of racking up assists in the sewer:

Tortoise-style pass, whoever receives it and doesn't shoot is a traitor!

Swish——!

Staples Center, Su Feng still has the mid-range shot!

And this made Kobe very happy.

Because the efficiency of racking up assists is a hundred times higher than before, right?

On the sidelines, Adelman had already begun to not understand the Lakers' tactics tonight.

Because this kind of tactic, which he thought had no tactical content at all.......

How could it be better than his Princeton?

So, Adelman, who didn't believe that the Lakers could play him to death with such a simple tactic, stubbornly made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life:

"Let them play, I don't believe they can kill us like this?"

……
