My Name is Kobe Bryant - chapter 877
San Antonio, May 8, 2003.
Prior to this, the Lakers and Spurs battled to a 1:1 tie.
In the first game, Duncan completed the lore.
In the second game, because Duncan didn’t dare to let go of his hands and feet, Bryant caught the Spurs’ defensive loopholes and took the game away.
The Spurs’ strongest defensive point is their weakness!
As long as Duncan is in foul trouble, no second player in this Spurs can stand up and resist Duncan’s absence.
In G3, the Lakers still let Kobe keep this strategy.
“No! Can’t go on like this!”
The first quarter the Lakers 25:21 Spurs.
Kobe completed 9 breakthroughs in a single quarter!
In any era, those who have completed more than 10 breakthroughs in a game are all superstars!
This season, Iverson has the highest number of breakthroughs per game. His average number of breakthroughs per game is 16.7.
The second is Grant Hill, 14.7 times.
The third is Kobe’s 14.1 times.
In the playoffs, the average number of breakthroughs per game of superstars will increase!
The playoffs are a time when one rides a thousand, the hero ball!
Iverson’s averaging 20.1 times per game in the playoffs this year is the league’s first!
Kobe averaged 17.8 times per game!
Carter 16.4 times!
Hill 15.3 times!
Breakthrough is one of the most defensive offensive methods. Compared with shooting, there are more choices to break through. You can complete the offense by yourself and attract defensive assist teammates.
When Kobe completed 9 breakthroughs in a single quarter, the Spurs did not have much to do to limit the Lakers’ offense.
Especially Duncan was very aggrieved.
“Damn…” Even the calm Stone Buddha had a three-point anger at this time.
If he is defending Stephen Jackson, then no matter how Kobe plays the pick and roll, he doesn’t need to switch to Kobe.
Stephen Jackson, this wall is too thin for Lagabere to walk through easily.
But Yao Ming is different!
Yao Ming’s pick-and-roll is very strong, and his three-pointers are hard to interfere!
If Duncan is defending Yao Ming, he must face Kobe’s repeated offenses!
And the way to defend Kobe is often from outside the three-point line!
For Duncan at 2.11 meters, even if his footsteps are fast, there is absolutely no way to keep up with Kobe!
Especially Kobe is still looking for confrontation! Foul!
Duncan, the league’s strongest defensive player, has a martial arts skill, but he has no room to display in front of Kobe!
“Coach, leave Yao Ming to me. Let Tim squat on the inside and guard Kobe.” Admiral Weng said suddenly.
Popovich thought for a while and decided to give it a try.
The difference between the playoffs and the regular season is that both sides will continuously adjust their tactics and strategies based on the opponent’s lineup.
This is also the reason why many invincible teams in the regular season have struggled after being targeted in the playoffs.
Since Kobe Yao Ming’s pick and roll made the Spurs’ defense very difficult, Popovich changed a defensive strategy to see the effect is also a very smart on-the-spot change.
The general defended Yao Ming and did not suffer.
Even now the old admiral, his speed is very fast in the paint.
And his power crushes Yao Ming even more.
The most critical point is that the admiral does not worry about foul trouble on his back.
Let go! Even if it is knocked off, there is Duncan!
The second section.
The Spurs’ tactical change caused the Lakers a small loss.
After Kobe and Yao Ming made a pick and roll, they broke through the basket with the admiral, but Duncan, who helped defend the layup, was fanned out of the field!
Spicy hot pot!
“Fak!” Kobe was violently dirty.
Duncan, who helps defend, is the strongest Duncan!
He doesn’t have to worry about fouls, because it is the admiral who is in physical contact with Kobe.
Duncan’s mobility and defensive awareness advantages are shown to the full!
“This guy is really ridiculously strong.” Kobe’s hands are on his hips.
Duncan is the strongest insider Kobe has ever encountered in his entire career.
No wonder he was able to win 5 championships in the previous life! Become the first power forward in history.
It’s too stable. Kobe caused problems for Duncan again and again, but Duncan was able to crack it one by one!
If the Spurs don’t have Duncan on the defensive end, Kobe can easily average 50+ per game.
With the Spurs after Duncan, it’s completely different.
At least the current defensive strategy, Kobe’s breakthrough hit rate should be reduced by at least half.
Next, after Kobe tried a breakthrough, Yao Ming scored the ball and Stephen Jackson scored the ball.
But the Spurs’ other role players deployed crazy defenses, allowing the Lakers to miss consecutive three-pointers.
Duncan continues to ravage Yao Ming on the offensive end!
The young Yao Ming still hasn’t found a way to defend Duncan.
Stockton’s pass allows Duncan to always receive the ball in the most comfortable position and complete the offense.
Without Stockton, Duncan’s offensive dominance would not be so amazing!
With Stockton’s Duncan, his offensive ability seems to have surpassed the invincible stone Buddha in Kobe’s last life!
And Duncan in this life did not suffer a serious knee injury!
This makes Duncan’s explosive power even more terrifying!
Not having to actively defend Kobe allows Duncan to focus more on the offensive end.
23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 turnover in halftime!
And when the Lakers teammates missed a three-pointer, Kobe could only stand up and continue infinite singles.
The Lakers are missing a real second scoring point, the tactical core. This makes the Lakers like a one-legged.
Although Kobe’s thigh is very strong and advantageous! But one leg can’t run fast at all!
Kobe scored 27 points at halftime, accounting for more than half of the Lakers’ points!
At the end of midfield, the Lakers were overtaken by the Spurs at 45:53!
The game enters the second half!
…
“I can’t go on like this! We have to stand up!” Stephen Jackson flushed with anxiety.
He really wanted to help Kobe!
But the Spurs’ defensive rotation in this game was too fast.
The defensive rotation of Lagabeel and Finley made Stephen Jackson think of the Bull of the year!
That bull is such an infinite rotation, and it has sealed the big shark beast!
Although the Spurs’ perimeter defense is far worse than that of the Bulls, they have Duncan!
Duncan stood in the penalty area, instead of running with Yao Ming Kobe like the last game, the Lakers’ penalty area would be cut in half!
Yao Ming clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do.
“Fak, that old fellow Stockton.” Xiaoyu lifted his jersey, his body was bruised and swollen, all traces of Stockton’s pinching and beating!
Bowen let out a long sigh. He let the Spurs’ most talented perimeter Finley not score a few points, but he couldn’t score on the offensive end. He and Finley are almost equivalent to exchanges.
How to do?
The Lakers players did their best.
But the gap with the Spurs is so big.
The Spurs have the dual-core drive of Stockton Duncan, as well as the general and Finley, two players who can easily score 20+ per game. Their confidence is so full.
On the other hand, the Lakers averaged the highest points per game except Kobe Ginobili.
Yao Ming, Randolph, Okur, they are talented, but in this level of confrontation, it is difficult to perform well.
Perhaps after this season’s playoffs, they can go further.
But in the short term, the Lakers are still a top-heavy crappy team.
“Manu, you need to take on more tasks in the second half.” Harris can only choose to let Manu and Kobe more play.
“Coach, let me and Kobe start.” The Pampas Eagles understand that at this time, the team must stand up to help Kobe.
This candidate may be Yao Ming in the future.
But now, don’t you?
“Okay…” Harris nodded in the face of the demon knife who took the initiative to ask for it.
The demon sword is out of its sheath!
Xiaoyu had a rest, he really had no good way to face Stockton.
So Manu will definitely be able to play well against Stockton?
No one can be sure of this matter.
After all, Stockton is also a veteran top defender and has won the best team many times.
Although his athleticism has degraded, Ginobili is not the kind of defender whose athleticism is so impressive.
…
The second half of the game started soon after the break.
“The Lakers changed their starting lineup, and Ginobili, the best sixth ladyboy knife, appeared in the starting lineup in the second half.” George Gervin said.
“It’s a kind of drinking dove to quench thirst! When Kobe and Ginobili are off the court, what about the Lakers’ bench?”
“Or, they plan to let Kobe play the full second half?”
“Whether there is an effect is difficult to say, but this is a gamble!”
“The Lakers were forced to the bottom by the Spurs.”
George Gervin’s view is not unreasonable.
The most critical point is that the Lakers have all played their cards.
In the next series, the Lakers don’t have much room for adjustment.
The Spurs can adjust and change a lot of things.
For example, do some articles around substitutes Parker, Cole, Horry, and Kevin Willis.
The Spurs’ bench, not much play in this series.
Duncan also has the option of starting with Parker and Horiti and playing small **** with the Lakers.
When Ginobili is on the Lakers’ bench, the Lakers’ bench is the best in the league.
Even if Randolph and Okur are not fully mature, with the demon knife’s containment power and Rick Fox’s omnipotence, they face the same strong and powerful Spurs as a substitute, and even a very big advantage.
But the Lakers who lost Ginobili’s bench are not to be feared at all.
“Interesting, the broken jar broke.”
“Then let’s see, what effect will you have if you fight like this.”
Popovich narrowed his eyes.
…
Stockton saw Manu on the court and squinted his eyes.
In the first half, Xiaoyu’s lumpy meat was still very refreshing to pinch.
Was it Ginobili in the second half?
Stockton was also well prepared for the matchup with Ginobili.
Popovich has previewed almost every situation that would happen to the Lakers.
Among them, the double guard combination of Kobe and Yaodao is undoubtedly among them.
Faced with the best guard in the league now, Stockton may not be strong enough.
But Ginobili, the same white demon sword?
Stockton felt that he could completely block him!
The first goal in the second half.
Manu advances with the ball.
Stockton opened his arms and was 1 meter away from the demon knife.
The Demon Blade has three points, but not everyone can throw three points regardless of distance like Kobe!
“Be careful!” the admiral yelled.
In the next moment, Yao Ming’s pick-and-roll was firmly against Stockton.
Turn around!
Stockton seemed to be smeared with oil, and he turned and wiped it from Yao Ming.
Ginobili moved the ball to the left with one hand with his right hand, and then pressed down to the right for a breakthrough in the next instant!
SHAMEGOD!
“It’s useless!” The old spicy Stockton directly resisted Ginobili with his left hand! Hold on to the jersey, cling to it!
Yaodao somewhat understood why Xiaoyu couldn’t play at all in front of Stockton.
This old ball ruffian!
I’m afraid it’s darker than any player in the league!
Ginobili ignores it!
Now he is the only Lakers who can stand up and help Kobe score!
Great steps!
Almost jumping and walking!
This kind of big stride is rarely used by black players!
The stable core strength allowed him to hold the ball firmly under Stockton’s defense and reach the penalty area.
“left?”
“It’s not right!”
“?”
European step!
Manu’s European stride is the best in the league, two super large strides, and they burst out in an instant to throw Stockton away!
Then steadily threw the ball to the basket, and scored the ball before Duncan’s defense came.
fainted!
Stockton was dizzy.
Seeing Ginobili’s European step off the court, he just felt that it was a change of direction layup.
But really facing the attack of the demon sword, the imaginary footsteps, and the fast and slow rhythm changes, it is simply confusing!
“John, Manu’s European step is better than mine.” Kobe smiled slightly.
“Really? Can you win?” Stockton directly poisoned ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Try it and you’ll know. ”
…
“Catch it back. After Manu helped Kobe share the firepower and adjust his physical fitness, the Lakers will be closer to the score!”
“At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers 72:76 Spurs!”
Chasing points!
The Lakers’ offensive momentum was fierce in the third quarter!
“Stockton’s defense is in place! But Manu is still scoring fairy balls!”
“European step! Three points! There are also unpredictable passes!”
“This defender from Argentina is shining his peak light!”
Demon knife!
In the OK era, although the Demon Sword was dazzling, it was finally covered by the light of OK!
And now, as the Lakers’ No. 2 scorer, his brilliance has surprised everyone.
A white Argentine defender with average physical fitness can actually score such crazy points?
7 of 12 shots in the third quarter, 19 points and 3 assists!
This performance is the dominance of the superstar level!
This kind of data is usually cut down by Kobe.
First face Stockton.
Parker again.
In the end, Popovich even considered using Lagarber to defend Ginobili!
Too clueless!
And Ginobili’s offense is more than just one person!
His passing gave Kobe a long-lost outing!
Kobe has repeatedly used Yao Ming’s pick and roll to get one-on-one phone calls.
Once Kobe enters a 1-on-1 state, he is invincible!
The Spurs’ defensive system has not changed, but the Lakers’ offense suddenly came alive!
All this is due to the Argentine demon sword Ginobili!
He played a superstar-level influence!
“The Lakers’ second master may be far stronger than we thought.”
