The Basketball Court Swordsman

The game will be over with two minutes left, and Kobe made a very difficult fall-back jumper from the right wing. However, at this time, there was not much cheering in the Staples Center, the stands were nearly a quarter empty, and the fans had to rush home before the traffic jam.

Los Angeles fans, come and go fast. Before the start of the game, it was mighty and mighty.

At this point, Henson called a timeout. Kobe looked up at the big screen, 40 points, he has scored a full 40 points in this game.

Of course, these 40 points were not easy. Paul George's defense made Kobe extremely difficult.

After making 1 of 8 shots in the second quarter, Kobe has gradually adapted to George's defensive strength. So 8 of 3 in the third quarter, and many fouls scored 13 points. Counting the goal just now in the fourth quarter, 7 of 3, 11 points in a single quarter.

40 points, the hit rate is also just 40%. Kobe Bryant played a great game, but also a not so great game.

Because people are more willing to praise Paul George's defense than Kobe's 40 points. And, just 13 shots and 19 points on Kobe.

"The game is over. Coach Henson's suspension announced that the game has officially entered garbage time. 98 to 77... The Lakers cannot equalize the 21-point gap in two minutes." Kenny Smith finished the game. After the score of the game, they were suddenly stunned.

The Lakers made 77 points, and Kobe alone accounted for 40 points! In other words, Kobe scored more points than all the remaining Lakers players combined.

I really don’t know if Kobe is too strong or the Lakers are too weak...

During the timeout, T.NT TV also selected the best player of the game. Paul, who easily scored 24 points and sent 10 assists on Nash, was elected, but in the minds of many fans, another Pacers player named Paul is also eligible to enjoy this honor.

Although he let Kobe score 40 points, but sometimes, can limit a star, really can not be judged by the number of points. Barkley's sentence sums it up very well: "If someone were to defend Kobe today, he might be able to score fifty or sixty points."

The timeout ended, and sure enough, the two sides did not switch to the main lineup. Kobe sat on the bench without landing, his head lowered. And Paul George with a faint smile, chatting and laughing with his teammates.

"Facts have proved that piling up stars in an ambiguous way may really not be the right way to build a team." Kenny Smith summed up the game. One game resolved too many disputes... .

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 108-89 at home. Apart from Kobe, only Howard scored in double figures for the Lakers. Gasol scored 9 points, and Nash, who was dissatisfied, only scored 6 points. The Lakers' F4 performance was terrible.

31.6% of the total field goal percentage and 21.4% of the three-point field goal percentage, these two figures faithfully reflect how bad the Lakers offense is.

After the game, many reporters gathered in front of the Pacers players, and did not go to Henson.

After all, no reporter wants to hit the gun.

People said the Pacers would lose to the Lakers after the Spurs because of trade rumors, and the Pacers won.

People say that George is not so valuable. Today he will be abused to death by Kobe. As a result, George is worthy.

People say that Los Angeles will become the grave of the Pacers, and the Pacers left with victory and honor.

Will Henson let go of so many opportunities to satirize reporters? Obviously not, the reporters already knew too much about Henson's virtues. Therefore, everyone simply does not go to him. Of course, Henson was also happy, as if he liked dealing with reporters.

In this way, Henson used a game to end George's rumors and end the discussion of the team building model. At the same time, it also stopped the team's decline in time and avoided losing streak.

Of course, Paul George's reputation in the league has become even greater. After the game, the victorious "Black Mamba" even claimed, "George has great potential and he has the opportunity to grow into a superstar!"

Want to empty-handed a player who can prevent Kobe from losing his temper? Go do your spring and autumn daydreams!

Two days after the victory over the Lakers, the Pacers won another California team, the Sacramento Kings.

David West broke out in the game, scoring 31 points. The King’s potential center Cousins ​​knows what it means to be "Ginger or Old Hot". Under the alternate "care" of Horford, Anderson and West, Cousins, as an insider, only shot 29.4%. The hit rate is really chilling.

With two consecutive victories, the Pacers did not seem to be affected by the failure at all, and once again set foot on the highway of winning streak.

That night, Bird was invited to participate in a program on a local Indianapolis TV station, which also talked about the Pacers.

Facing the camera, Bird seemed full of confidence: "The Pacers always encounter some trouble every season. When George's trading rumors broke a few days ago, everyone thought we were going to die. But don't forget, What Henson is best at is solving troubles."

It can be seen that Henson's work ability is indeed very strong. If it is not strong, Bird will not be too busy to participate in the recording of TV programs...

Although the team has won two consecutive victories, and everyone's condition continues to be hot. But in Sacramento, the team didn't have much thought to celebrate the victory. Because after defeating the King, the Pacers will go to the Bay Area to play a back-to-back game tomorrow on the first day of December.

For this game, Henson is still quite excited. Of course, not because of his opponent, the Golden State Warriors, but going to the Bay Area, which means that Henson can finally live with An Jiali.

Since the start of the pre-season training camp for the new season, the two have not seen each other for almost three months. For couples, three months of not meeting each other can be said to be a very long period of time.

So on the plane today, Henson had a smile on his mouth even when he fell asleep. Vogel shook his head. This may be Henson's best night since George's trading rumors broke out...

Meanwhile, in the head coach's office at the Oakland Arena in the Bay Area, Warriors coach Mark Jackson is studying the Pacers game video.

Mark Jackson took over the Golden State Warriors last season. As an insider with a professional background and the fourth-ranked point guard in the NBA's total assists list, Mark Jackson was undoubtedly highly anticipated when he took office.

Although the Warriors' record last season was not ideal, with 23 wins and 43 losses, the Warriors could only be ranked 13th in the West, but this is not all Mark Jackson’s pot, nor can it be judged that Mark Jackson is not a good enough coach.

As a result, last season Mark Jackson decided to send Monta Ellis away, righting Curry as the sole core, so that the team experienced a transformation in the middle of the season. Secondly, the Warriors suffered massive injuries last season. Curry only played 26 games, Richard Jefferson played 22 games, David Lee played 50 games... Naturally, I can't get very good results.

This year, Mark Jackson’s efforts began to bear fruit. The strong emphasis on defensive discipline has allowed the Warriors to continuously improve their defensive efficiency. After injecting the winning atmosphere, the players are always full of strong ambitions on the court and changed the team's temperament. In terms of employment, Jackson also boldly used the young Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes, and established Curry, who was plagued by injuries, as the core. This is as bold as Henson.

So far this season, the Warriors have a good record of 9 wins and 6 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference. Although the Warriors are far from being powerful in the West, their rapid rise has also changed the situation in the West. You know, last season the Warriors were an out-and-out team.

At this time, this magical warrior coach was staring at Henson Joe.

Maybe this trip to the Bay Area will not be as pleasant as Henson imagined...
