Chapter 607
Ge Feng and his teammates walked out of the court in a strange way.
Kobe's timeout is really illogical.
But when the players saw Kobe's face, they could tell right away that Kobe was angry.
"Do you remember what I said before the game? Our goal is the championship, not the regular season! How did you play the game in the last quarter? What about tactics? You ate it all?"
Without further ado, Kobe scolded the player head and face.
Players began to think back to what Kobe had said.
Indeed, in the two rounds just now, they were afraid of making mistakes and being seized by the Pelicans, so they unconsciously played the old tactics they had honed in for a year last season.
Vogel's old tactics, although they can't make mistakes, but the ceiling is too obvious, it is to let Ge Feng, Davis and Schroeder's personal ability to solve the problem, easy to get injured, easy to be double-teamed by opponents.
"After a while, no matter whether you win or lose, you must play according to the tactics. The more desperate the moment, the more you need to hone new tactics! You are afraid of losing now. Don't you want to wait until the finals, like last year, to cram your feet? The regular season is a time for you to try and make mistakes. You would rather lose a game than lose your heart! Go up!"
After being scolded by Kobe, the players suddenly became sober.
That's right, the regular season is the team's best opportunity for trial and error.
In particular, the new tactics of the Lakers have not yet been tested in the series, and they need to be honed in the regular season to see where there is a problem.
After the Lakers returned to the court, they began to follow Kobe's request and continue to run down the triangle tactics.
As the intensity of the game became higher and higher, the problem of the Lakers' unskilled tactics was gradually exposed.
At the critical moment, the pass between Schroeder and Davis made a mistake.
After the ball was intercepted by Ingram, it was passed directly to Zion, who was down early.
Zion jumped high and finished with a tomahawk dunk.
Ingram and Zion's defensive counterattack also helped the Pelicans successfully expand the point difference to 6 points.
At this point, there are only 3 minutes until the end of the game.
Lakers fans are not happy about this.
It was clearly the advantage of the Lakers just now, why did Kobe call a timeout inexplicably.
It was because of that timeout that the Pelicans found a way to win.
After the Lakers came back from a timeout, they have been suppressed by the Pelicans. Countless fans believe that the head coach has to pay a large part of the responsibility for the Lakers' loss.
The shot was given to Kobe very well.
Kobe watched from the sidelines very calmly, and was not affected by the public opinion on the court at all.
In the next 2 minutes, the Pelicans, who played with momentum, did impeccable whether it was single defense, assist defense or double-teaming.
After the Lakers had occasional sporadic goals except for Ge Feng and Davis, no one else could score.
With the success of the Pelicans on the defensive line, their offense has become more and more fluid.
With Redick and Ingram each hitting a three-pointer, the Pelicans lost the final suspense.
In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Lakers 106-96 in the away game at the Staples Arena to complete their revenge.
This is an extraordinary victory for the Pelicans, and it is also a battle for the rectification of Ingram and Zion.
Ingram scored 41 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in this game.
Ingram, with a large triple-double, became the absolute contributor to the Pelicans' victory over the Lakers.
Zion scored 19 points in this game, while contributing 5 blocks on the defensive end.
The hot pot feast that Zion invited the Lakers to eat was so spicy that everyone in the Lakers felt insecure.
Among the Lakers' starting five tigers, except for Ge Feng, the other four were overshadowed by Fat Tiger.
Especially Schroeder, he rushed to the basket for 4 layups, 2 of which were slapped by Zion's cap.
There is another very important point for the Pelicans to win, and that is Brother Ball.
Secondly, Brother Ball's role for the Pelicans is not only limited to the offensive tandem organization, but also his defensive ability that has been praised since he entered the league.
Judging from the current degree of running-in of the Pelicans, Brother Qiu is undoubtedly the one who cooperates the most with Fat Tiger.
Whether it's an air cut, a strong inside shot or an alley-oop, Brother Qiu can always find Fat Tiger at the most suitable time.
It can be said that Fat Tiger's excellent performance after losing weight is inseparable from Brother Qiu's series organization and passing.
The Pelicans won Comfort in this game, and Van Gundy's coaching ability was further recognized by the fans.
However, after the game ended, the Lakers players did not show much disappointment on their faces.
The Lakers players all understand that unskilled tactics are the biggest reason for their losses.
They will not suspect that their level is not good just because they lose a game.
Tactics, right? It takes half a season or a season of training to see problems that cannot be seen in theory.
There is nothing wrong with Kobe's choice of calling that timeout. Although the fans don't understand it, the players understand Kobe's painstaking efforts.
After the game, Ge Feng and Ingram chatted a little more.
As the three brothers who worked hard in the past, the sweat that Ingram, Ge Feng, and Simmons shed in bullfighting together was not in vain after all.
Ingram has gradually gained the limelight in the Pelicans.
As early as last season, Ingram had already scored a personal high of 49 points, so Ingram's 41 points in this game did not cause much splash.
After Ge Feng and Ingram finished talking, when they returned to the locker room, they found that everyone was already sitting around Kobe, with their heads bowed and not talking.
Kobe is analyzing why he lost with his teammates.
Ge Feng saw that many players hadn't had time to shower or change their clothes.
As expected of Kobe, no matter what he does, he will be more active than others.
After the loss, Kobe worked overtime until very late that night.
He has been replaying the last quarter of the Lakers' game, why he collapsed when he said it collapsed.
After the opening game, the Lakers will have two back-to-back games at home, against the Thunder and the Bucks.
During the off-season, the Pelicans, Nuggets, Thunder and Bucks had a very sensational four-team trade, and several teams got the results they wanted.
Thunder is very active in this trading market.
In the past two years, Thunder executives sent away Paul, Schroeder, Ferguson and Adams through 4 transactions, while Gallinari joined the Eagles freely. This season, Alexander can only carry the team alone.
Last season, the Thunder was still a core 6-man team, and now only Alexander is left.
In the new season, it is basically impossible for the Thunder to reach the playoffs again.
The Thunder are fully prepared to play badly and compete for the No. [-] pick.
The Bucks took a big gamble on Antetokounmpo this season.
Antetokounmpo chose loyalty, and Bucks executives were also moved by Antetokounmpo's loyalty.
Today, the Bucks have brought Holiday of the Pelicans to Antetokounmpo through a four-way deal, and formed the Big Three as they wished.
