Chapter 147 One person's counterattack(2/2)
Fanci and Bynum supported the Lakers, because during this period the Mavericks asked Nowitzki to take a rest, and the Lakers recovered some points.
At halftime, the Lakers trailed by 5 points, 49:54.
However, Nowitzki rested for half a quarter.
Fan Xi realized that something was serious.
The Mavericks dared to take Nowitzki off the court for so long. They were taking a big gamble and building strong self-confidence, demonstrating their certainty of winning this game.
In the past three games, Nowitzki has played almost the entire game. Every time he reaches the critical moment, he will suffer from physical exhaustion. This is an important reason why the Lakers can win so easily.
But tonight, they dared to let Nowitzki rest in the first half, and the Mavericks held on.
This lax arrangement made Fan Xi increasingly worried.
So, after he returned to the locker room.
He immediately lay down on a chair to rest and gulped down food.
He wants to maintain sufficient energy at the critical moment in the second half.
And when Fanci was preparing for a fierce battle in the second half, a conflict broke out in the Lakers locker room.
When Phil Jackson reviewed the first half, he criticized Bynum for not covering for Kobe Bryant.
At this time, Kobe also reminded him: "Even Shaquille O'Neal would cooperate with the outside back then."
Bynum was furious and shouted: "I'm not Shaquille O'Neal."
Then, he also said to Kobe: "You have got enough opportunities. When you are not on the court, I am the one who recovers the score."
This made Kobe furious.
The two stared at each other and almost started to fuck.
If Lamar Odom hadn't pulled it over.
Fan Xi looked at them helplessly.
This is not the first time they have had such a fierce argument.
…
The second half of the game continues.
Phil Jackson noticed that Fan Xi was adjusting his physical fitness, so he did not let Fan Xi play. Fan Xi's physical reserves were not particularly abundant. The physical trainer also advised Jackson not to let Fan Xi play in a playoff-level confrontation.
Playing for more than 25 minutes will greatly increase the risk of injury.
However, now the Lakers simply cannot do without Fanci. In the past four games, Fanci has averaged 33.8 minutes per game.
Almost equal to Kobe Bryant's playing time.
Fanxi sat on the bench.
At the beginning, the Lakers played in a fairly orderly manner.
Because the Lakers fielded the lineup that won the championship last season.
However, as the Mavericks put Nowitzki and Kidd on the court at the same time, the Lakers immediately couldn't resist.
Nowitzki felt great tonight, and his scoring was like picking something out of a bag.
Kobe's touch is not very good tonight. So far, his shooting percentage has not reached 35%.
The main scorer for the Lakers tonight is Pau Gasol. Gasol has scored 21 points tonight.
However, since the beginning of the second half, the Mavericks quickly adjusted their defense against Gasol. Shawn Marion's constant flanking and tough pressing made Gasol very uncomfortable.
So, I kept hammering.
Gasol has never solved a core problem. He is vulnerable when faced with extremely tough and even dirty defense from his opponents.
In a favorable situation, Gasol can even play like a superstar.
In normal games, Gasol can also perform like a superstar.
And once he enters a headwind situation, once his opponent defends him brutally, brutally and dirtyly, he will be a black hole that cannot be helped.
The Lakers lost to the Celtics in 2008 because he was killed by Garnett.
Gasol and Nowitzki have been affectionately called European softies by the American media for a long time.
Nowitzki is killing more and more fiercely. Although Gasol is following the strong man, he still hasn't changed his heart.
It was the fifth minute of the third quarter.
The Mavericks extended the point difference to double digits.
At this time, Phil Jackson replaced Bynum and replaced Gasol with him.
When he came on the court, Zen Master reminded him in a serious tone: "If you can't cooperate well with Kobe, you will lose the great situation you have now."
This is a threat.
Phil Jackson can tolerate friction between players, but he cannot tolerate infighting among players who remain stubborn at critical moments.
After Bynum came on the court, he was indeed no longer willful.
He set a screen for Kobe.
However, Kobe still hasn't found his touch yet.
And when Kobe passed the basketball to Bynum, Bynum failed to open up the situation.
Both of them fell into a state of misfire.
"Let me play."
With 5 minutes left in the third quarter, Fanci asked Phil Jackson for a fight.
Phil Jackson agreed to come down, he asked Fancy to replace Derek Fisher, and asked Matt Barnes to come up with him, replacing Dunleavy.
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
The game continued, Fanshi received Matt Barnes' serve in the frontcourt and walked towards the frontcourt.
"We need a defeat now. Only failure can wake them up." Phil Jackson said to Old Winter.
Old Winter didn't understand why he replaced Fan Xi at this time.
"Besides, there's nothing wrong with letting the club sell tickets for one more game."
Phil Jackson was essentially ready to lose this game.
"But, I feel like you underestimated Jack's desire to win." Old Winter shook his head.
"Do you think Jack can change the current situation?" Phil Jackson asked doubtfully.
Right now, the Lakers can be described as a mess.
Kobe has yet to find his touch, Bynum is severely restricted in the paint, and they have no connection with each other, and the players are all very impetuous.
how to spell?
Even if Jack is a god, he can't change the souls of his teammates.
Phil Jackson is a great strategist. He doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a pool. What he wants is to win the entire battle and maximize benefits.
"I always thought Jack would make his own move."
Old Winter said this.
Before he could finish his words, Fan Xi, who slowly arrived in the frontcourt, suddenly took off from the three-point line without any warning... Jason Kidd, who was guarding him, didn't expect it.
And the basketball draws a beautiful arc... Wow!
It fell into the net with great accuracy.
Three-point hit.
11 points left.
Fan Xi launched a one-man counterattack!
Chapter completed!
