On March 30, the Eagles faced the Bulls.

Facing Terrence Thomas, Garnett ushered in a data explosion. He made 20 of 32 shots, 4 of 5 free throws, scored 44 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, helping the team defeat 123:109.

He joined the Bulls and added some dazzling data to his bid for MVP.

After bringing in Ben Wallace, the Bulls have become a strong force in the Eastern Conference. Anyone who encounters the Bulls has a hard time beating them, and any team that wants to easily take them down has their teeth broken.

But this team plays "full of confrontation". While it makes their opponents uncomfortable, it also makes them uncomfortable! Moreover, this team lacks stable outside scoring points, which makes it difficult for them to score.

As an opponent, Ke Yan does not want to encounter the Bulls in the playoffs, not because he is afraid of them, but simply because he hopes to reduce some consumption. Judging from the current ranking, this is also a high probability event. How stable is the Eagles' first position?

, the Bulls' sixth position is so stable. Unless the two teams can meet in the Eastern Conference Finals, they will basically never meet.

Back at home, the Hawks meet the challenge of the Lakers.

This season, the Lakers can still advance to the playoffs under the leadership of Kobe Bryant. In the overall stronger Western Conference, it is not easy to achieve such results.

However, the Lakers' weaknesses are obvious. Their offense relies too much on Kobe's singles, lacks variety, and doesn't score much. They rely on the defensive end to lower the opponent's efficiency to win. Such a team will not be good when encountering the "iron chain" of the Eagles.

beat.

After the game started, Kobe was capable of breaking through and passing the ball, making pull-up jumpers, step-back three-pointers, and high-throw layups. He led the team to the lead with 5 of 5 shots and defeated Battier.

This season, Kobe is heading towards his third consecutive scoring title. His offensive skills are at their peak, and Battier cannot handle him one-on-one.

Without Joe Johnson, the Hawks had no one who could stably respond to Kobe's damage, and fell into passivity. Stevens' defense was pretty good, but on the offensive end, he was just a 3D shooter who would pass.

A few minutes later, Kobe's personal offensive touch slowly declined, and the Eagles stabilized the situation.

Odom had no advantage against Garnett and couldn't fight in singles. Garnett also did a good job interfering with shots after the pick-and-roll, and the Lakers were completely blocked inside.

In turn, Diola moved to the outside to organize in the middle, and Garnett also came to the corner to make room for Paul. Paul made continuous cuts and scored jumpers.

Kobe Bryant's defense is top-notch, but he is not very good at guarding a quickie like Paul. In the 2005 playoffs, Ke Yan arranged for Kobe Bryant to limit Parker at all costs throughout the series, but that was based on having three high rim protectors in the paint, and Parker COSCO

When shooting from distance was unstable, Paul was different. He made accurate shots, and the Lakers' interior rim protection was also different from that time.

After the first quarter, the Eagles went from trailing by 7 points at the start to leading by 5 points.

In the second quarter of the game, Phil Jackson continued to fuck Kobe and chased the Eagles' bench. Ke Yan arranged for Hassell to face Kobe, but he couldn't stop him at all.

The Eagles' offense revolved around Weber. The old King caught the ball at the free throw line and frequently sent passes to create opportunities for his teammates. Daniel Gibson was very determined in his shots, but his accuracy was poor. He made 0 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, which made Ke Yan very helpless.

Since hitting 9 three-pointers against the Clippers, breaking the team's record, Gibson "doesn't have Curry's life, but has Curry's disease" and is obsessed with shooting outside shots, not not taking three-pointers.

Ke Yan encouraged his players to shoot three-pointers boldly, but never forced them. Paul, Joe Johnson, and Garnett in the team were all masters of mid-range shots, and he never asked them to shoot three-pointers as much as possible to improve their scoring efficiency. After all, everyone

Players have their own comfort zones. You can't turn Paul into Curry just by training. Gibson, this guy, is obviously a little confused about himself.

Gibson, who had supported the team's bench scoring after Joe Johnson was injured, had no touch. The Hawks were short of firepower and were led by Kobe Bryant to overtake the score.

In the middle of the second quarter, Ke Yan replaced the main players, and the Hawks regained their defensive strength in time, but problems on the offensive end still existed. The team played the high pick-and-roll that they are best at, and the Lakers changed rooms in time, and Garnett played big and small.

Facing Kobe, he took four consecutive shots without a hit!

The star failed to score four consecutive times in mismatched singles. Should he praise Kobe for his defensive skills? Or should he complain about Garnett's "softness"?

In the offseason, his "capital" to the Hawks was rejected. In this game, it can be said that Kobe tried his best to make Ke Yan regret it. In the second half of the second quarter, Kobe once again went "unparalleled", resisting two people three times in a row.

Defensively completed a difficult fadeaway jumper.

At halftime, the Hawks trailed the Lakers by 13 points, 54:67!

"Guys, in the summer, when Kobe Bryant announced that he would come to the Hawks, I guaranteed it to the boss. Kobe is nothing. Paul's future value is even higher than Kobe's! You guys make me lose face.

Do you know?" In the locker room, Ke Yan changed his usual seriousness and explained this fact in a humorous tone.

"So today, if I don't have face, you should pay for your trip to the Maldives yourself!"

Before the Christmas game against the Cavaliers, Ke Yan promised that if he won the game, he would bear all the expenses for the team's trip. Unfortunately, the Eagles lost the game at that time. Afterwards, Ke Yan also said that everyone still has a chance.

Ke Yan used his "opportunity" in this game. There was no way, if he really lost, he himself would be ridiculed!

With the heavy reward, the Eagles players cheered up and started again in the second half of the game.

Diaw received the ball at half-court, played a pick-and-roll with Garrett in the middle, broke through to press Odom's defense, and at the same time handed the ball to Garnett.

"Following the backcourt pick-and-roll between Paul and Joe Johnson, Kimi created an inside pick-and-roll between Diaw and Garnett. Garnett caught the ball in one step inside the three-point line, easily turned around, and scored with a basket!"

In fact, this is not Key Yan's design, but Dior's "eureka". The key lies in the fact that after a season of running in, Garnett really understands him.

When returning to defense, Garnett kept waving his arms, boosting the atmosphere of the audience. At this time, the team needs more encouragement!

Smushpark held the ball through half the court and failed to break through Paul's defense. He passed it to Kobe. Kobe and Brown played a pick-and-roll. Diaw switched defenses and Battier pursued the defense, leaving Brown open.

Kobe passed the ball to Brown, who took the ball and hit the basket, but failed to score the ball due to interference.

Diaw picked up the rebound and immediately sent a long pass. Stevens, who was about to leave, took the lead and scored with a dunk!

The Lakers attack, Parker passes to Kobe, Kobe does not call a pick-and-roll this time, but directly leans on Battier with his back and pushes it twice. Suddenly, he turns his back and wipes out Battier's defense and forces a layup. Garnet

Unable to hit due to special interference.

Garnett got the rebound and looked for Paul, who took a step and passed to Stevens.

Stevens didn't wait for his teammates. He held the ball on the right side and reached the three-point line at full speed. He took three steps to pull the ball. Smushpark couldn't stop him, and he didn't want Stevens to complete dunks in succession. He kept doing it without stopping.

, a hug and a throw came directly.

.

.

This was a standard flagrant foul. The referee did not hesitate to call two free throws and sent off Parker. Substitute point guard Farmar came on.

It was raining all night, and seeing the Hawks gaining momentum and the Lakers' main point guard taking the initiative to leave the game, Kobe frowned and had no words to say to these "CBA teammates"!

Stevens made two free throws, and the ball still belonged to the Eagles.

In the first half of the game, the Lakers seemed to have the advantage, but such a good situation was all the result of Kobe's hard work. As long as Kobe's offensive touch declined, the Lakers immediately faced a strong blocker from the Hawks.

This season, the Lakers' results are decent, partly because Odom's performance is more stable than in the past; but in this game, facing Garnett's defense, Odom fell off the chain again, and Kobe passively entered.

Achieve the status of "lone hero".

In the second half of the game, the Eagles narrowed the point difference with a 12:2 start, forcing Phil Jackson to call a timeout; but this timeout failed to reverse the situation of the game. Diaw used his footsteps twice in a row to get rid of Kwame Brown's defense.

Throwing the ball in, the French magician finally broke the wine glass and coffee machine for a free travel voucher to the Maldives!

The official timeout ended and the two teams returned to the court. The Lakers sent a baseline ball. After halftime, Farmar immediately handed the ball to Kobe and ran to the bottom corner to open up space.

After Kobe received the ball at the waist, he hit Battier with his back. After two false shoulders, he turned right and shot a fadeaway jumper. Battier blocked Kobe's face, but Kobe got into his own rhythm and still resisted.

Battier's defense hit the shot.

Looking back, Diola went to the free throw line to catch the ball, responded to Garnett's position, and put the ball into Garnett's arms just right. Garnett caught the ball comfortably and easily carried Odom.

Once, turn around and hit the board!

How difficult it is for Kobe to score, how easy it is for Garnett to score.

In this kind of tempo game, Kobe has been playing to the point of numbness! The key is that most of the time, they can't win the ball!

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant received a pass from Odom, made a simple feint, and went straight to the Eagles' penalty area, hoping to hit the basket and cause damage.

But as soon as he arrived in the paint, Garnett immediately came over to help defend, even leaving Brown open for this purpose.

Ke Yan's defensive tactics are very clear, that is, Kobe can be allowed to play singles in the mid-range, but he must not be allowed to score easily in the penalty area. As long as he breaks through, he must help defend.

Facing a double team, Kobe had no intention of passing the ball at the first moment, but when the breakthrough route and shooting space were completely blocked, he had to pass the ball to Kwame Brown in the penalty area.

Kobe's passing choice was not good. Kwame Brown had to bend down to catch the ball. After adjusting his rhythm, the ball was immediately stolen by Paul!

Stevens took the lead and started a fast break again. Kobe waved his arms angrily, and his body language was madly complaining about his teammates!

This is also a bad thing about Kobe. Although he has been changing, making himself "gentle", he has also changed his withdrawn personality and interacts more with his teammates; but once he enters adversity, he will still reveal his true nature.

, making teammates even more constrained on the court!

The subsequent games basically maintained a one-on-five pace. There was no way to take away the victory, at least Kobe took away the data of 38 points and 7 rebounds.

When the red light came on, Kobe had no intention of greeting Ke Yan. He got up from the bench and returned to the locker room. Shrugging his shoulders, Ke Yan ignored Phil Jackson who got up and walked to the sidelines to applaud all the fans.

117:104, the Eagles defended their home court and won the victory.
