Silently Writing
Chapter 752 Two Great Records: "Prehistoric Behemoth" and "Magician"
Staples Center, halftime. The score was 59 to 77, with the Lakers leading by 18 points going into the second half.
Kobe didn't score much in the first half, only 7 points.
However, in the 16 minutes he played for the Lakers in the first half, he had already tied his career-high single-game assist record:
15 assists.
During the halftime break, Su Feng, who scored 44 points for the Lakers in the first half with 17 of 30 shots, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws, finally realized that he had completely become Kobe's "assist-farming tool."
Originally, Su Feng was having a good time scoring on the court...
However, on the court, after consecutive shots in the second quarter, he inevitably felt a bit sore, and after missing a few shots in a row, he thought about taking a break and adjusting his state.
However...
Su Feng quickly realized that he didn't have time to rest at all!
Because tonight, "Russell-Bryant" was his "shot-forcing man."
To be honest, after playing basketball for so many years, this was the first time in Su Feng's life that he had been forced to shoot.
Rest?
Even the production team's donkey wouldn't dare to rest like you. You've only taken a few shots and you want to rest?
"Hey, Kobe, I've missed three shots in a row, can't you let me take a breather?" On the court, Su Feng looked at Kobe with a speechless expression.
"So what if you've only missed three shots? As the Lakers' number one scorer, even if you miss the first ten shots, you still have to shoot decisively!" Kobe said seriously, looking back at Su Feng.
Fine!
Su Feng could see it now!
This wasn't him stimulating Kobe's subjective initiative to pass him the ball!
This was clearly him being exploited by capitalism!
You know, even though this Trail Blazers team didn't have a defensive system, the players on this Galaxy Battleship were solid in their defensive skills.
But facing Kobe, who, once he became stubborn, couldn't be pulled back even with ten trucks...
Where could Su Feng retreat tonight?
Even if there was an abyss in front of him.
At this moment, Su Feng could only continue to charge forward with painful yet joyful tears!
After the halftime break, at Staples Center, the Trail Blazers replaced Przybilla with Battier, with Garnett playing the five position.
Originally, seeing this scene, Coach Lue was a little worried that the Trail Blazers would change their defense to prevent Su Feng and Kobe from continuing their happy...
But Van Gundy, who was standing next to him, saw through Adelman's little plan at a glance, "Don't worry, Rick's purpose in changing players is just to strengthen man-to-man defense.
Tonight, no matter how he changes players, he can't change the Trail Blazers' defensive strategy."
Hearing this, Coach Lue initially felt that Van Gundy was a bit overconfident.
However, as Pierce scored two points for the Trail Blazers, and looking back, seeing Su Feng, who was still running into open space according to the tactics he designed for him and made a long two-pointer after receiving a pass from Kobe...
Coach Lue immediately turned to look at Van Gundy and said, "Jeff, you're too amazing tonight!"
However, listening to Coach Lue's praise, Van Gundy not only didn't feel any joy...
On the contrary, he felt like he had lived in vain for the past few decades.
As the saying goes, those involved are confused, while onlookers are clear.
In the years he spent as a commentator, in addition to recognizing how stubborn he used to be, Van Gundy also discovered a reality that he couldn't accept.
That was...
He had actually led that luxurious Knicks team to lose to those chue chue players who he thought lacked creativity...
How chue chue was he in the past?
In the second half of last season, shortly after Adelman took over the Trail Blazers, Van Gundy commented on that Trail Blazers team while working as a commentator:
If Adelman continues to rely on McMillan's old tricks on the defensive end, then one day, this Trail Blazers team will become a top-heavy team.
However, because the Trail Blazers successfully made it to the Finals last season, it was clear that people didn't take Van Gundy's comment to heart.
In Su Feng's previous life, because the Kings successfully limited Kobe's shooting percentage to 41% in the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Kings, and later when he coached the Rockets, he happened to inherit the defensive legacy left by Van Gundy, so many people always thought that Adelman was not only good at offense, but also at defense.
But in fact, Adelman's coaching career had long proven that when defending, he only knew how to use hard-working blue-collar workers and 3-and-D players, and he didn't know how to build a team's defensive system at all.
Defense has never been the matter of one or two players.
At least in Van Gundy's view, when the opponent's core players can shoot at will in front of you, your defense has already gone wrong.
"In basketball games, players like Michael, Su, and Kobe, even with the best defensive system, you can only limit their shots.
In fact, it's not difficult to stop Su tonight.
Because no matter how clever the tactics we design for Su are, as long as the Trail Blazers' rotation players can keep up in the first place and compress Su's shooting space, then in order to complete the shot, Su will inevitably increase his offensive actions on the court.
And in this way, as time goes by, the cost of Su's shots will definitely increase greatly.
Maybe, Rick simply thinks that this simple tactic is far inferior to his Princeton...
But if Su only needs to complete shots on the court at a very low cost...
Then I think, that Last.ga
When Su Feng received a pass from Kobe and scored two more points for the Lakers with a beautiful fadeaway in front of nearly 20,000 Lakers fans.
At this moment, now!
Kobe-Bryant has engraved his name in NBA history!
30 assists in a single game!
Achieved!
At that moment, the MVP, MVP, MVP cheers that resounded through the Staples Center...
Were both for Su Feng, who had already scored 75 points.
At the same time, weren't they also for Kobe, who had successfully achieved his 30th assist?
And only one possession later...
As Su Feng scored his 77th point of the game.
Kobe got his 31st assist of the game.
On the sidelines, watching the Trail Blazers' bench, who had already summoned the "trash players" to the scorer's table, Coach Lue also smiled and requested a timeout at the scorer's table.
As the greatest player in the league today.
Su Feng never needed to rely on garbage time to pad his stats to win one record after another.
Therefore, Coach Lue knew that it was time to call a timeout and replace the perfectly finished "23+24" to let them enjoy the cheers from the fans!
And Los Angeles...
Tonight, watching this Lower Merion duo...
Inside the arena, even the most rational Lakers fans couldn't hold back any longer!
To hell with the jinx!
What does a true powerhouse have to fear from a jinx?
My Lakers...
Championship!!
