Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 138

In the second quarter of the game, the audience thought that the Lakers could expand the lead and took away the Spurs. It is estimated that the release enlarged the Spurs and gradually caught up with the score.

Ray Allen, Norvis, and Barkley suddenly felt terrible. They missed many shots and O’Neal was also troubled by fouls. Only Kobeli kept scoring outside shots and did not allow the Spurs to overtake. But the result was the Spurs. Begin to double-team Kobe, so that his efficiency began to be greatly reduced.

O’Neill and Barkley’s weight have not returned to normal, and they dare not do complex technical moves. Ray Allen is not stable enough. As for the rookie Nowitzki, he can’t be expected to be the backbone in the short term.

Old Nelson called a timeout and replaced all the starters except Kobe to show a warning to the four. He replaced Horry, Fisher, Eddie Jones and Mobley, and Kobe played the number five. Bit, organize the Lakers to start a counterattack.

The old Nelson’s brain circuit is so unique. He believes that if the game is anxious, he must find a way on offense, that is, the Lakers players are generally very capable, and they may stop when changing a team.

Substitution is like a knife change. The new players are very determined on the outside under the organization of Kobe. Mobley made two consecutive three-pointers and Eddie Jones also made two breakthrough layups.

The few players that Old Nelson played on the field had excellent performances, and the coaches of the league teams who watched the game fully realized the thickness of the Lakers’ lineup. They didn’t know that the Rockets’ lineup was actually more abnormal than the Lakers, but the team There are too many rookies inside, so you can’t see the depth. At halftime, the Lakers led the Spurs by 11 points 59 to 48.

In the third quarter, the main players were replaced, but Lewis replaced Nowitzki as a small forward. Several of the Lakers’ rookies need to be leveled, and they cannot lack the training of the game. In the shrinking season, as long as you don’t encounter a super strong team, the old Nelson will generally mix and match the main force and the bench. This way, although the game will inevitably have ups and downs, the advantage is that the main force has been rested, the rookies have accumulated experience and mutual understanding has also increased , And more importantly, opponents will not be able to figure out the Lakers’ routines and cannot make effective targets.

After Shaquille O’Neal, Barkley, Ray Allen and others came on the court, they might be ashamed and courageous, which greatly reduced the efficiency of the opposing Spurs. David Robinson even missed three consecutive mid-range shots.

Even so, the Spurs did not allow the points difference to extend beyond 20 points, the reason is that Billups completely exploded this game.

Although Kobe followed Billups, but before the critical moment, there were always Spurs players who pulled him out for pick-and-rolls. Sometimes in order to get Billups out of Kobe, the Spurs would even use more than two players for multiplayer screens. .

After eight minutes of playing, Ryan Bowen replaced Lewis and began to help Kobe defend against Lupus.

Kobe didn’t know that the idol of Billups, the original poor MVP of the time and space, was actually Kobe. He also learned a lot from Kobe, such as strengthening his projection training, which also benefited him a lot.

In fact, many rookies in the league now regard Kobe as their goal, especially after the Lakers defeated Jordan’s Bulls last season. Kobe’s series of play styles were imitated by young players, which also resulted in new students such as McGrady and Carter. The generation of players reduced the percentage of breakthroughs and increased outside shots and assists.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference did not widen, 84 to 71, the Lakers lead by 13 points.

In the fourth quarter, the old Nelson sent Kobe and the energetic Ryan Bowen to partner inside, and Mobley, Lewis and Nowitzki were outside.

Looking at this lineup, you know that old Nelson is skinny again, and he actually sent all four rookies of this year to the court.

In the CCTV sports broadcast room, Teacher Zhang Yangli hurriedly scolded his mother: “Old Nelson’s lineup is too unreasonable. We all know that the rookie needs to exercise in the game, but it is too difficult for him to leave Kobe alone on the court. Don’t watch. Kobe has a mature playing style and strong strength, but he has just turned 20 this year.”

Su skirt next to him also agreed: “We all know that Kobe is a very selfless player. We have interviewed many NBA players. They have been helped by Kobe on and off the court. The Lakers lineup requires Kobe to help other rookies. This will greatly increase the burden of the responsible Kobe.”

Since Kobe’s various donations and assistance to China were exposed, Kobe’s reputation in China is almost comparable to an internationalist fighter. The host and reporter responsible for NBA event coverage on CCTV Sports also regarded Kobe as a “good friend of the Chinese people.” When he became his own, most of the event broadcasts were dominated by the Lakers. It can be said that the Lakers have become the home team of Chinese fans, comparable to the Rockets joined by Yao Yao.

To the surprise of many people watching the game, the situation on the Lakers is not only passive, but also has contacts with the Spurs.

Ryan Bowen was very desperate on the defensive end, and with Kobe’s assists, he also made two free throw mid-range shots.

Although Nowitzki is still very immature on both ends of the offense and defense, he tried his best to fight. Although Lewis is playing outside, but with a soft touch, the opposing Spurs have nothing to do with him, so players who rely on shooting ability to feed on are the worst defense.

The most surprising thing is Mobley. Although he can’t prevent Billups, it is difficult for Billups to limit his offense. This is a natural sixth man.

Kobe is the most magical player on the field. People can no longer tell where he is. He is almost everywhere. It is with Kobe’s dedication to escort, the Lakers can restrain the momentum of the Spurs chasing points.

From the sidelines watching Kobe fighting fire like Spiderman, Popovich’s envied eyes are red. The players he most want in the league now are Kobe and Duncan. They have superior self-discipline, unity, and offensive and defensive capabilities. Popovich feels that if he has these two players, he can build a dynasty that is more brilliant than the Celtics. Three, not eight, but more than ten championships.

It’s a pity that Popovich can only dream about it. He knows that if Kobe is in the Spurs, the team can’t afford it. In addition to paying a huge salary to such superstars as Kobe, he must also recruit suitable teammates for him. Why did Hou Shi Kecun not burn his jersey to stay after the little emperor James left for the second time? It was because he couldn’t afford it. Only big cities like Los Angeles and New York in the league can retain top stars like Kobe.

The old Nelson has never waited to see players who can’t shoot, which is why the team he coaches can’t produce top defensive players, but Kobe’s style of relying on top defense has given him a lot of ideas.

After half a quarter of the game, Kobe has already started to pant. No matter how good his physical fitness is, this kind of fast assisting defense and supplementary play makes him very tired.

The old Nelson was also afraid of Kobe’s problems, and replaced Kobe when the game was six minutes away. O’Neal, Barkley, Horry, Jones and Fisher formed a more traditional lineup.

After getting enough rest, O’Neal began to release all his abilities, pressing Robinson on both ends of the offense and defense, and Barkley also adjusted after he played, making two mid-range shots in a row.

Billups struggled to support it, but unfortunately his teammates were not strong enough. A minute and a half before the end, the Lakers led the Spurs by 13 points 114 to 101. The Spurs were over. Popovich could only replace all the main players and surrender.

At this time, the admiral who walked down the field was in pain. He didn’t know what to do. He was getting farther and farther away from the champion, but getting closer and closer to his retirement. This made him feel that the way forward confused.

The old Nelson also replaced all rookies and Eddie Jones, playing for more than one minute.

119 to 108, the Lakers won the opening three straight.

In this game, Kobe scored 20 points, 15 rebounds, 14 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals and became the best player of the game.

Nine of the Lakers scored in double figures, but the scoring was very average, only O’Neal was a bit higher ~www.mtlnovel.com~ had 18 points and 13 rebounds, second only to Kobe.

Six Spurs scored in double figures, of which Billups scored 38 points and 12 assists. Among them, 6 of 10 three-pointers were shot and the shooting percentage was quite high.

At the press conference after the game, a New York Times reporter asked: “Mr. Nelson, we saw that you made Kobe sacrifice a lot in order to train rookies. Do you think if this continues, Kobe will still be happy to stay in Los Angeles?”

This New York reporter is obviously unkind, because Kobe’s contract will expire next year, and he hopes Kobe can join the New York Knicks.

Old Nelson shook his head and smiled: “Before this game, Kobe has consulted with me many times, hoping to let him and the rookies who joined the Lakers this year and his partner, so that they can have more understanding.”

The Los Angeles Times reporter asked: “Mr. Popovich, what do you think of this game?”

“The Lakers are very strong, very strong, especially their lineup, which can be called the league’s first.” Popovich exclaimed.

When asked about Kobe, Popovich said: “Kobe is a perfect player. His greatness has surpassed Jordan. Although Jordan is very strong, he has never helped a rookie so selflessly as Kobe.”

Jordan, who had just retired, broke the TV remote control directly. He found that his leisurely time to watch Kobe’s game was just to get angry, but he was really unwilling. He wanted to play against Kobe again.

It is said that people take the tea to cool, Kobe has perfectly replaced Jordan, which also made Jordan very unwilling to be accustomed to being sought after, he has begun to think about coming back.

The reduced season is a test for everyone, and the schedule is so tight that the Lakers players have no intention of celebrating victory.

The Lakers and his team rushed back to Los Angeles overnight, and they will face back-to-back games after a day of rest.
