Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 132
The Lakers attacked, Bryant dribbled to the frontcourt and singled out Carter.
Carter’s physical fitness is superman. Although slightly shorter than Kobe, he doesn’t suffer from strength and agility.
Kobe leaned against Carter in a low position on the left, and violently turned to the bottom line to pull the ball and jumped up. When O’Neal came to help defend, he passed back to Barkley, and Barkley made a mid-range shot and cricket. 3:2.
This round, it was obvious that Carter was lacking on the defensive end, which made Kobe too easy to get rid of. He has a body and works very hard, but he has no experience and is easily confused by fake moves.
Nash was entangled by Kobe, the Rockets began to fall, the players pulled away, Carter took the ball in the middle, and Ray Allen played the defense.
Duncan pulled out from the inside to a high position to screen for Carter. Carter moved the ball to get rid of Ray Allen. The first step was very fast. After a change of direction on the right, he passed Nowitzki and took two steps to take the ball directly.
His head was almost flat, and his right tomahawk dunked the ball heavily into the basket. 5:2.
This dunk is so beautiful. The commentator Smith exclaimed: “God, Carter’s dunk is so beautiful. I think in terms of dunks, he can match Jordan and Kobe. It’s really wonderful. “
Magic said: “The Rockets can be said to have made a lot of draft signings in the past two years. This year Dawson may get the league’s best manager.”
The Lakers attacked, Kobe’s perimeter organization, Ray Allen ran out of the three-point line, used Barkley’s pick-and-roll to get rid of Carter, received a pass from Carter, turned around and scored a handball from the left arc outside the three-point line, 5:5.
Carter’s defensive missed again. The season was too short. He did not go through the summer league and preseason training. The rookies who just entered the league this year have difficulty defending well with only college experience, and Ray Allen’s shooting speed is very high. Quick, as long as the assist defense can’t keep up, it’s basically equal to giving him an open opportunity.
The Rockets attacked, Nash and O’Neal passed back Pierce after a pick and roll, and Pierce began to overpower Nowitzki in the high post.
When Kobe recruited everyone for a training camp in the summer, Nowitzki and Pierce had confronted each other many times, and they knew each other better. The two now have their own strengths and many shortcomings, and they belong to rookies.
Pierce has the advantage of strength, and Nowitzki has the advantage of height. Although Pierce squeezed Nowitzki, he was always under the interference of Nowitzki.
Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of it, Pierce immediately passed the ball to O’Neal, who received the ball and dribbled to the basket, using his speed to get rid of Barkley’s one-handed dunk. O’Neal was stuck in position by Duncan and had no time to help defend. 7:5.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe played a pick-and-roll with Barkley in the middle. He broke through with the ball and was caught up by Carter who helped defend. He couldn’t easily pass the ball to Ray Allen. Ray Allen attracted Pierce to help defend and pass the ball. At the bottom right corner, Nowitzki made an open three-pointer. 7:8.
Duncan passed the ball to Nash to launch a counterattack, Kobe squeezed close, and Nash could only pass the ball to Duncan who received it to start running.
There was a funny scene on the court. Duncan met O’Neal with the ball in the high post, and the two big men actually played like guards.
Duncan swayed from left to right, shook O’Neal away, turned around and plunged into the basket to hit the board. 9:8.
On the sidelines, Thibodeau smiled bitterly and said to Old Nelson: “This guy has improved again. Olajuwon seems to be instructing him in private.”
“In the future, if O’Neal gets old, I think it will be difficult to have players inside to compete with him. In him, I see the shadow of Chamberlain.” Old Nelson sighed. He thinks Auerbach is a bit eager for quick success and quick success. McGrady’s talent is good, but the legendary insider is hard to come by. Otherwise, the big dream would not be able to crush Jordan and many other players to become the champion.
Old Nelson didn’t know it was Auerbach’s backing for Rick Pitino. In order to continue the NCAA style of play and also for his lover Antoine Walker’s position in the team, Pitino could only play He didn’t know how to use Duncan out of the team. It is not difficult to see from this that in addition to destroying a star, an incompetent coach may also destroy a team’s future.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe once again singled Carter with the ball. Kobe continued to dribble the ball from his hips, and his body swayed sharply from side to side. Carter stagnated a little.
Pierce rushed over to help defend, Kobe immediately passed the ball to Nowitzki, who was on the left of the center, and Nowitz made an open shot. 9:10.
Nash held the ball and O’Neal pick-and-roll, escaped from Kobe and broke into the basket to attract Nowitzki to double-up. The ball was given to Pierce who was 45-degree open on the right. Pierce made a mid-range shot. 11:10.
The two teams didn’t have any fast break opportunities at the start, it was too tightly targeted.
Although Tom Thibodeau left the Rockets and came to the Lakers, his defensive foundation is still there. In addition, Duncan, O’Neal and others have solid defensive skills, so the Rockets’ defense has not weakened. Because of Thibodeau’s arrival, the Lakers have greatly increased their defensive strength and strength, but there are still many things that need to be run in.
From the performance of the two teams in the first quarter, it can be seen that Tom Thibodeau’s defensive accomplishments are really brilliant ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ The Celtics won the championship, and he was indispensable. It’s a pity that Thibodeau is really not suitable for solo. He is in the same situation as Van Gundy, clinging to defensive tactics, and he doesn’t trust the newcomers, and in his bones he is very similar to Pat Riley, likes high-intensity training to make players Keep the state, Yao Ming, Ross and others are just like that.
After playing for more than eight minutes, the old Nelson replaced O’Neal, Nowitzki, Mobley, Lewis, Barkley was mentioned in the center position, the Lakers played a five-small lineup similar to the future Warriors.
With better offense, the Lakers ended the first quarter with a 31-to-28 lead.
Magic’s comment: “Don’t you find that the Lakers and Rockets play very strangely? Constantly adjusting the lineup, and today the two teams have almost no offense inside, and the main focus is on defense and rebounding.”
Smith said: “This season is very difficult for both the Lakers and Rockets. There are too many new recruits and there is no time for them to run in. They can only practice by the game. The suspension makes all the league teams very difficult.”
In addition to defending the title, the old Nelson’s goal is to create a set of offensive system that makes the league frightened, so he must train Nowitzki as soon as possible.
The Rockets are now going to win another championship before the Big Dream retires and overthrow the Lakers. With D’Antoni, Carter and others in the Rockets lineup won’t get too many opportunities at all, because D’Antoni’s attitude towards newcomers is only better than Larry Brown, and he equates with Zen Master. But Rudy Tomjanovich is back. As the saying goes, there is a treasure in every family. The characteristic of coach Rudy is that he is not rigid and willing to give newcomers a chance. This is why Kobe agreed with the Dawson Rockets double bishops. .
