Chapter 1100: Chapter 350: The Gap Between Us Is More Than Just One Level!Kobe felt very uncomfortable hearing it, what does “struggling” mean? Who does this old cowboy think he is? But Kobe didn’t immediately retort, he didn’t want to cause any extra trouble in Game 7. Phil Jackson thought for a moment, he believed Roger’s help defense would be targeting Kobe and Nash, not likely going into the paint. So the Zen Master knocked on the tactical board: “Next, try to get the ball inside more often!” During the timeout, Mike Breen was talking about Roger’s brilliant performance in the last five minutes: “It’s as if we’re really seeing a combination of the big three, Roger is like KG on the guard line defensively! Many media outlets predict that Roger might win DPOY this season, and I think he deserves it! The Warriors are one of the best defensive teams in the league this season, and Roger is the best defensive player on the Warriors, he is undoubtedly DPOY!” Roger didn’t care about DPOY, he just wanted to steadily kill the Lakers now. The game continued, Steve Nash faithfully executed the Zen Master’s strategy, this time getting the ball to Karl Malone who had positioned inside. Marcus Camby went wild upon seeing Malone get the ball, starting to fiercely confront Karl Malone. Malone felt Camby’s center of gravity shift, and then pivoted quickly using him as the axis. Meanwhile, he skillfully used his elbow to hit Camby, preventing him from defending immediately. The familiar impact from the elbow gave Malone confidence, he knew he had completely shaken off the clingy Camby, so he prepared to charge the basket. But just as Karl Malone was dribbling, an arm suddenly appeared in front of him, perfectly swiping the ball away! Roger’s help defense isn’t limited to the perimeter, he won’t let even Karl Malone off! After the ball was swiped away, Karl Malone immediately chased after it, but he was no longer the iron-willed Mailman with speed comparable to a small forward. He could only watch as Prince picked up the basketball and made a long pass to Roger, then Roger scored with a two-handed slam in an unguarded situation! Before the first quarter was even over, the Warriors were already 10 points ahead! After landing, Roger pointed at Karl Malone: “King, noble, commoner (also sounds like Karl), there’s more than just one level between us! Trash like you shouldn’t be holding the ball in Game 7, besides dragging feet and talking big, what else can you do, you old waste?” Karl Malone was angry but said nothing, he could see everything clearly: To win, he still had to rely on Nash and Kobe. This determined his eventual fate in his career. But tonight, with Roger’s omnipresent help defense, could those two really dominate the offense? Roger used terrifying defense to choke the Lakers in the first quarter, but Jeff Hornacek was equally worried about the Warriors’ situation. “Defending like this, Roger is too exhausted! Even if he lightens his load on offense, his stamina is still facing a severe test, are you sure Roger can hold out till the end?” Erik Spoelstra had a determined expression, “This is Game 7, Jeff, no one holds back in Game 7, besides…” The rookie coach turned his head, raised an eyebrow at Jeff Hornacek: “Why can’t this game be a quick death for the Lakers? Why does it have to go until the end? In my opinion, they won’t last long. Roger has tightened the pocket, the Lakers will soon suffocate, very soon, who says Game 7 must be tense until the end?” Jeff Hornacek swallowed, this crazy young coach will definitely achieve great things in the future. And when he’s coaching the best current players? Alright, then he’ll achieve greatness very soon.
