Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 133
At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams replaced the bench.
The Rockets played by Olajuwon, Alston, Stephen Jackson, Bowen and Brad Miller.
For the Lakers, Fisher, Eddie Jones, Rashard Lewis, Mobley and Horry formed a small lineup.
When the second team came up, it was obvious that the Lakers suffered a lot in terms of height, but they were better than the other in terms of perimeter shooting.
The old Nelson wanted to use the second team to make a tactical attempt, but unfortunately he underestimated the Rockets’ bench lineup. Under the leadership of Olajuwon, the Rockets suddenly broke out.
The Rockets let Brad Miller play the organization center, and other players interspersed with running positions, and they played the simple Princeton tactics. The Lakers speeded up the pace and played an extremely fast counterattack. Mobley, Fisher, and Lewis are all young players. They rushed to the field without hesitation. As long as they qualify, they will not hesitate to grab the chance. Shoot three points.
It’s a pity that the Lakers’ shooting stability is not enough, and the shooting percentage is not high. Coupled with the rebounding aspect, they are at a disadvantage.
Stephen Jackson has done a good job defensively against Lewis. Lewis is a player, regardless of his appearance, but his style of play is very soft. Most of them rely on points from the outside. Fortunately, he feels soft and shoots. Accurate, very suitable for the Lakers championship puzzle, but he ran into an opponent today, and the passionate and tough Jackson taught him a good lesson. If it is a year later, Lewis, who has adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, will solve the problem with his own precise shooting, but now a rookie Lewis has been watched to death by Jackson, which is also the main reason for the passive situation of the Lakers.
This season, there are many teams inquiring about trading Stephen Jackson, the Pacers being the most sincere. However, the Rockets have no intention of trading Jackson. Although Jackson is always a lot of trouble off the field, it has no effect on the Rockets. Jackson is a man who likes to fool around, but he has his own bottom line. He is also very loyal to the Rockets who signed him. He was abandoned by the Suns last year. Other teams also didn’t care about him because of his “notorious reputation”. The Rockets are very grateful, and Duncan, Nash and other teammates are quiet, but they do not discriminate against him, but give a lot of help. During the lockout period, Jackson Liu Xiaoli, Duncan and Nash came forward to bail him because of a drunk fight, so although he played on the bench this season, there were no complaints. What made him most happy was the Rockets’ new teammate Pierce this year. Very to his temper, the two soon became brothers of righteousness.
Although the Lakers were passive, they were not beaten because Mobley continued his life. Mobley’s powerful impact has caused headaches for the Rockets players. Sanshu Bao has not learned how to step on his feet except for his black hands. Therefore, a Bowen with a bottom line cannot well limit Mobley. .
Mobley is an outlier among rookies because he is very adaptable to the rhythm of the NBA and hardly needs a transition period. He belongs to the natural sixth man.
After six and a half minutes of playing in the second quarter, Old Neil replaced the bench, leaving only Mobley to continue playing. The Rockets also used the dead ball opportunity to replace the main force. At this time the score was 49 to 45, and the Rockets used the bench lineup to overtake the Lakers by four points.
Kobe moved to the third position as soon as he came on the court and played the forwards. O’Neal and Barkley both pulled out to cover without the ball. Ray Allen and Mobley could run to catch the ball on both sides, and they could also cut to the inside.
After O’Neal screened, Duncan changed defenses slowly inside, and Ray Allen succeeded in an air cut. After receiving a straight pass from Kobe, he scored a flying dunk.
Ray Allen’s later generations gave the impression that he was a shooting guard with accurate running shots, but many people didn’t know that Ray Allen was a rookie player with comprehensive skills and irritability. He only had to after a serious injury. The transformation became a pitcher. In addition, Ray Allen and Bowen of the Rockets are very good pitchers, which Kobe could not imagine. What made Kobe curious is that since the two are so good, why did Yuan Shikong Bowen want this old friend to reach out? Guilty feet, Kobe can only lament that Popovich’s old man is really harmful.
Not to be outdone by the Rockets, Nash made a three-pointer and then assisted Carter for two dunks.
If it weren’t for Pierce’s poor shooting touch, and facing Kobe’s defense, three shots with better chances would not get in, the Rockets might have taken the game straight away.
The two teams played 13 to 12, and the point difference came to five points.
Old Neal was not worried about the situation on the court. To put it bluntly, both sides focused on cultivating new players, and did not use their best.
Kobe relied on his physical advantage to score two layups, completed a 2+1, and made Pierce a foul. He scored 7 points in the half quarter and sent 5 assists. It can be said that Pierce, the so-called Kobe Terminator of later generations, was rubbed on the ground. Pierce has been depressed by Kobe. ~www.mtlnovel.com~ I feel that the opponent has already Become the devil in my heart.
The Rockets lead 63 to 58 at halftime, and the two teams’ main players can be said to be comparable.
During the intermission, Ke Zhang, the commentator of CCTV’s live sports room, mentioned Kobe. “In the summer, Kobe took Dayao of the Shanghai Oriental team and Yi Jianlian of the Shanghai Oriental Sports School to participate in the training session he organized. It is said that if the CBA didn’t start, he would probably also take it. The past flood relief. In China, Kobe and his family donated a total of 150 million yuan in materials and cash, which is the largest overseas donation. It can be said that Kobe is the most friendly sports star to China.”
Su skirt agreed: “Shencheng Dongfang, Shenhua Shenhua and Shencheng Dongfang Sports School belong to Kobe’s group. We can see that Dongfang, Shenhua and Dongfang Sports School have introduced a large number of high-tech training equipment. Many professional coaches and dietitians have been hired from Europe and the United States. It is said that the General Administration of Sports has included these three units as advanced pilot units, and plans to spread their experience throughout the country.”
Xu Jicheng lamented: “Now, Kobe is changing many areas of China through his own influence. As far as basketball is concerned, Kobe has made indelible contributions to the development of China’s basketball.”
Zhang Liyi nodded: “You can say that young players like Dayao can get help from superstars like Kobe. It can be said that they have encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At that time, our basketball career in China is truly rising.”
Kobe, who is pointing to Lewis and other rookies, doesn’t know that the distant China is praising him, otherwise he will be moved. The secret of rebirth in this life may only be hidden deep in his heart until the day he leaves.
