Chapter 134 The third game after the fiasco
The fight for the playoffs finally started. After fighting for a whole season, they just waited for the last game to point to the final championship.
This is the dream in every player's heart. Money is something outside of the body, and you can earn it if you don't have it.However, the honor of the championship is a priceless treasure. How many people have fought for it all their lives, but they can't get it in the end. Therefore, how many honors of uncrowned kings have been added, which is more regrettable.
Barkley's helplessness, Reggie.Miller's sour, and Carl.Grief for Malone and Stockton.
Looking at their sad faces, people can only sigh softly: You shouldn't have been born in the same era as Jordan.
"The Uncrowned King" is a kind of regret for them, but it is also a kind of motivation, so they have been working hard and fighting hard, just to get rid of this title, achieve perfection, and realize their wishes.
Therefore, this group of people worked hard and paid, and they were rewarded for this. They won the first two games of the first round.
In the first two games of the first round, the Pacers were in Reggie.Under the leadership of Miller, they led the Knicks 2-0, took the initiative in their own hands, and returned to the home court in the next game. As long as they win another game, they can advance to the second round and achieve a sweep.
Similarly, both the Jazz and the Rockets have achieved a 2-0 lead, and they can advance as long as they can play another game.
Looking at the Lakers again, hesitant Ling Yu's sluggish performance in the second game, they lost to the Suns by a big score.In this game, Ling Yu only scored 13 points, and his shooting percentage also dropped to the bottom, making 17 of 4 shots.
Ling Yu was dissatisfied with this performance, the team was dissatisfied, and the fans were even more dissatisfied. The Los Angeles media also kept accusing Ling Yu, saying that he could not take on the important task of team leader, and specifically emphasized that O'Neal is the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers. Looking forward to his early return.
Ling Yu glanced at the news and sneered.
I'll shut you up next time, hum!
Ling Yu snorted coldly and got into training.I don't know when, as long as the game is not played well, Ling Yu will always practice more after the game.If he didn't perform well in any event, he would specialize in that event, which had become a habit of his.
Facing the pressure of public opinion, Ling Yu walked onto the court with a spirit of hard work.
The playoff system is 1-2-2. In this game, the Lakers will continue to challenge the Suns away.The two teams fought 1:1 in the first two games, and the next game is extremely important. Whoever wins this game will take the initiative and put the pressure on the opponent.
The fiasco of the last game, up to the management, down to the individual players, are not happy, very unwilling.This time, they all put in all their strength and were determined to fight and win.
Del glanced at Ling Yu, his expression eased, and he said flatly, "Bryant, don't pay too much attention to those rumors outside, just beat yourself up."
"You've played really well this season."
Del spoke from his heart. From the draft, to Ling Yu forcing Gong to start, the following regular season, and now to the current playoffs, Ling Yu's performance has exceeded his previous expectations.In Del's mind, this is Ling Yu's debut season. Although he is talented and works hard, he has never played a game after all, so he can't expect much.
However, with the start of the season, Del had to subvert his original intention and set a new goal and expectation for Ling Yu in his heart.This has already surprised Del, but what he didn't expect was that he would have to change teams Ling Yu's expectations and goals very frequently, which is crazy.
"Everyone will always have a downturn, don't pay too much attention to it."
Del patted Ling Yu's shoulder lightly and said comfortingly.
In fact, Del really didn't want to say that.Because he expected to change again and again in his heart, Del became more and more picky about Ling Yu's performance, to the point where he couldn't bear Ling Yu's mistakes.Originally, he wanted to scold Ling Yu and criticize him, but when he saw Ling Yu's determined face, he changed his mind.
"Don't be too nervous." Del said lightly: "Allow yourself to make a little mistake, which will benefit your growth."
"Do not."
Ling Yu said coldly: "The mistakes made in the last game will definitely not happen again."
A resolute face, a firm heart.
Del was startled, and looked at Ling Yu in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
"I'll play first."
Ling Yu gave a soft drink and walked up.
Children, don't be too strict with yourself.
Del sighed softly and looked on the court.
The third game of the first round kicked off in a fiery frenzy.
The whistle sounded and the game began. The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle. The Lakers took the lead, got the ball, handed it to Eddie, carefully controlled the ball for half court, and organized the first attack of the audience.
"cover."
Ling Yu roared, and Nat hurriedly pulled him over, poking like a standing posture.
With Knight's cover, Ling Yu bypassed Kidd's tight defense and ran towards Eddie.
"Eddie, give me the ball."
Ling Yu roared, dodged the defense, and ran to Eddie's right, and Eddie hurriedly passed the ball.
As soon as Ling Yu got the ball, Kidd immediately pounced on him, diverted his steps, took advantage of his body, and pounced directly on Ling Yu.At the same time, Kidd was still standing behind the Suns players, and he was also nervously staring towards Ling Yu, observing Ling Yu's running, and getting ready to help defend.
Is that the case again?
Ling Yu glanced at the positions of the Suns players and sneered in his heart.
In the last game, the Suns adopted such a tactic, Kidd single-line defense, and others to help defend, no matter who it is, as long as Ling Yu runs in that direction, he will rush forward regardless of everything, as if blocking the eye, using all his strength. Use all available methods to restrict Ling Yu and prevent him from breaking through.In addition, as long as he shoots, no matter who it is, as long as it is close, he will rush to it.
Even if it's a foul.
snort!
Ling Yu's face darkened, he stared at Kidd sharply, and said in his heart: "I was fouled like that by you in the last game, which made me afraid to shoot. Hmph! This game will definitely not happen again."
"Pull away." Ling Yu roared, and slowly dribbled the ball.
Kidd, who was behind him, kept squeezing Ling Yu, leaned forward, and put all his weight on Ling Yu's body, restricting Ling Yu from making fake moves.
However, this defensive tactic seems to be used too much, not to mention that Ling Yu was tortured by this defensive method in the last game, so he has already thought of a way to deal with this tactic in the extra training after the game.So, Ling Yu raised his left hand, took a big step back, and staggered away from Kidd.
Want to break through face to face?
Kidd was stunned for a moment, without any hesitation, he hurried up.In the last game, it was such a forceful defense that limited Ling Yu's scoring, and it should be the same in this game.
Just when Kidd stepped up, Ling Yu took a big step to the right with his right foot, and then pulled back with a fake move, changing the ball to the left and rushing to the left.
With an accelerated change of direction, Kidd was swayed, but Kidd was not completely out of position. What's more, there were players from the Suns behind him defending, and Kidd had no idea, so he just took a step back and defended. Just catch up.
Unexpectedly, just as Kidd stepped back with his right foot, Ling Yu immediately changed direction again, changing the ball to the right again, and then accelerated forward.
After two changes of direction, Kidd seemed to lose his position, so he hurriedly took a step with his left foot, and stepped back again.Taking advantage of the shortest distance between the two pieces, he ran back, took the lead, and took advantage of the situation to defend against Ling Yu.
But he didn't want to, Ling Yu didn't intend to speed up and kill the basket. When he saw Kidd, he stepped back again, immediately stopped the ball, and took a step back with his left foot, followed by an emergency stop in the middle distance. Yang offering.
This shot completely missed Kidd's time. Kidd couldn't return to the defense at all. When other Suns players made up for it, Ling Yu had already thrown the ball.
With a beautiful arc, the basketball was hollowed into the net, and the Lakers scored two points.
The scoring of this goal opened the prelude to the fight between the two teams. Holding the Lakers player who had washed away the humiliation of a disastrous defeat, he showed the momentum of winning.The Suns, who sit at home, don't want to lose their position. They fight to defend the home court, and their morale is also high.
These two teams are like two fierce tigers, battling back and forth, neither will give way to the other. At first glance, neither can gain the slightest advantage.
The Suns used Kidd's containment power to create opportunities for teammates, either mid-range shots or layups to grab points.At first glance, it looks very relaxed, but only they themselves know the anguish.
Ling Yu defended Kidd closely and restricted Kidd's breakthrough and shooting. Although he failed to restrict his passing, for the Lakers, this was enough.Because, in the last game, Ling Yu's sluggishness on the defensive end could not limit Kidd's performance at all, allowing Kidd to easily reach the inside and causing damage, allowing Campbell to receive his sixth personal victory shortly after the fourth quarter. Foul and sent off.
Without Campbell, Del can only let Johnson step up and take the position of power forward. However, such a change will not only fail to achieve results, but also limit Johnson's performance to a certain extent.It was also at this time that the Suns played a wave and took the lead in one fell swoop. Later, they played more and more vigorously, and even opened the point difference to 20 points. Only then did they stop the offensive and replace it with the soy sauce party, just for fun.
With the lessons learned from the past, the Lakers will naturally focus on defending Kidd, and this heavy responsibility will naturally fall on Ling Yu.Although his performance in the last game was hard to compliment, in general, he is still the last perimeter defensive player in the Lakers and the player Del most trusts.
The shame of the last game, coming to this game is the motivation, the motivation on the offensive end, and the positiveness on the defensive end.With the unwillingness in his heart, Ling Yu used all available defensive tactics against Kidd, whether it was blindfolding or blocking interference, as long as it was available, Ling Yu would use it desperately.What's more, Ling Yu seems to be in a relationship with Kidd. As soon as Kidd gets the ball, Ling Yu will definitely rush forward desperately.
Faced with Ling Yu's defense, I don't know if he was a little scared. Kidd seemed a little hesitant when he played the ball.
The Suns coach looked at Kidd with a dark face, feeling very dissatisfied, so he turned his head and shouted at the referee.
"pause."
