Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 147
Despite the unexpected loss to the Kings and the second loss of the season, the Lakers did not show any fluctuations. In the next game, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 107 to 101 on the 16th and won 102 to 100 on the 18th. Under the Cavaliers.
Although the winning streak continued, but the two away games were narrow wins, and the Lakers showed some fatigue.
The hostile media began to pick the Lakers’ faults. Many people sprayed the Lakers’ management brains and sent away the heroes who won the championship last season. It is very likely that the Lakers will not be able to defend the title.
There are also many gloating teams, especially the Bulls who were knocked down by the Lakers and lost the second dynasty. The Chicago Post wrote: The dynasty team was not built in a day, and any team that aims to defend the title will not look like it. The Lakers dismantled the main lineup like this, they should really think about the gains and losses.
The Chicago Bulls have had a hard time this season. At present, they are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Chicagoans believe that the disintegration of the Bulls Dynasty was caused by the Lakers, but the actual situation is that it has nothing to do with the Lakers.
Of course, the Bulls lost Jordan because the trapeze had a shameless face and wanted too much, but the loss of Pippen and Barkley was the reason why the Bulls boss was not willing to spend money.
At the beginning, the bull boss took advantage of Pippen’s salary. This time he wanted to embarrass Pipin’s second child on the issue of contract renewal. Batman is not a long-term worker in the landlord’s house, so naturally he won’t give in. He simply patted his **** and left. , Went to Ken to the high-priced pioneers.
On March 19, the Lakers went to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers back to back.
Kobe vs. Iverson is the eternal topic of the league. Both of them are praised by the league. As the rebellious hero of the poor, Iverson and the noble, elegant and perfect Kobe, the two represent the two worlds, ESPN and Philadelphia local TV stations and Tianchao Sports Station are broadcasting the game.
The Lakers made a slight adjustment in their starting lineups, starting with five players: Kobe, O’Neal, Barkley, Ray Allen, Horry.
Sixers start: Iverson, George Lynch, Theo Ratliff, Eric Snow, Matt Geiger.
O’Neal won the jump ball and the game started.
The Lakers pulled away, Ray Allen ran to the left corner, Horry came to the right corner, Barkley was in the high post, O’Neal was in the low post, Kobe held the ball in the middle, facing Eric Knox, no one was covering .
The new 76ers coach Larry Brown is actually quite critical of Kobe. He thinks Kobe has practiced crookedly. If he is under his hand, he will let Kobe gain weight and become an unsolvable power forward that surpasses Malone and Barkley. O’Neal together form the inside twin towers and will surely sweep the league.
If Larry Brown’s idea is to let Kobe know about it, he will definitely sneer. Kobe believes that Larry Brown is the most overrated coach in the entire NBA. Although Iverson reached the peak under his coaching, it is also Iverson’s. The upper limit is capped, and the answer should have hoped to be like Stephen Curry, but it can only be so.
Kobe faced the 6-foot-3 Snow, took a dribble step, and made a 3-pointer at the top of the arc.
The ball has a chance, but Kobe knew that his fingers were not strong enough as soon as the ball was shot.
Eriksno had no choice. Kobe’s bounce and height were better than him. He couldn’t even close his eyes. The arc of the ball was a bit flat and popped out of the basket. O’Neal grabbed the rebound and added a deduction. 2: 0.
The Lakers quickly returned to guard against man-to-man, and the 76ers had to fall into position. The second fat combination of O’Neal and Barkley sealed the penalty area. Matt Geiger and Theo Ratliff were completely inadequate. Before Uncle Mu arrived, the 76ers’ inside line was as weak as a frosted willow. It’s hard to be hard.
Several times without passing empty, Iverson began to single out Ray Allen, using his footsteps to break into the inside and then missed a high jumper. O’Neal grabbed the rebound and passed it to Kobe.
Zhang Liyi from the CCTV Sports Broadcasting Room said: “Today the Lakers slowed down the pace. The purpose is to use O’Neal and Barkley to attack the basket. Continuous back-to-back matches are a huge test of physical fitness. Such a slowdown can not only avoid In the case of insufficient physical fitness, the efficiency of players will also be improved.”
Su skirt added: “Up to now, we have seen that the efficiency of each team is declining. The reduced season is too unfriendly to the players. This year, many players who played relatively brightly at the start of the game have encountered the rookie wall. , So we see that the Lakers didn’t send any rookies in the starting lineup today.”
Kobe dribbled the ball through halftime, and there was another dry draw at the top of the arc in the middle, and Snow had nothing to do.
The biggest evolution of Kobe in this world is not those basketball skills and experience, but the improvement of physical talent. His height is now infinitely close to 205CM, arm span: 222CM, Achilles length: 28.5CM, palm length: left hand 24CM, right hand 24.5CM, Weight 100 kg, fat content: 4.0% (second only to Michael Jordan at his peak), 100 meters speed: 10.8 seconds, vertical bounce: 1.01 meters, absolute bounce: 1.12 meters, maximum touch height: 3.82 meters. Kobe has become a monster on the court. How can Snow defend against this kind of talent? Snow didn’t even do any reaction this time.
Kobe felt very good about the ball. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc, hollowing into the basket. 5:0.
Iverson once again wanted the ball to play Ray Allen~www.mtlnovel.com~ He was stimulated by Kobe. With the gradual rise of players in the 961th draft, people are talking about the golden generation. After Kobe won the championship and won the FMVP last season, Iverson’s influence has dropped a lot compared to the same period in history, although it has not been He is said to be a parallel champion, but everyone thinks that he is overvalued. Even many local Philadelphia fans are complaining why they didn’t choose “Son of Philadelphia” Kobe. You must know that Kobe’s high school years can be described as unstoppable.
Ray Allen often singled out against Kobe in the team, and gradually gained experience in defense. Against Iverson, who is the main breakthrough player, Ray Allen’s strategy is to guard against unpredictable shots and maintain a positive step at a long distance. interference.
Since Larry Brown coached, Iverson’s three-pointers have degraded, and the two-pointers have accounted for almost half of his attempts.
Iverson still broke through Ray Allen with speed, but after entering the penalty area, he discovered that the sky was enveloped by a triple pair of big hands. Iverson couldn’t make a layup and could only score the ball to the outside teammate Eriksnor, Snow met Kobe, the breakthrough failed to pass to Theo Ratliff, who singled out Barkley, turned and missed a shot, the rebound was grabbed by Horry.
The Lakers fell into position again, the 76ers switched defenses, Teylonhill went with Kobe, and Snow defended Horry from the bottom line.
Although Horry’s athletic ability began to decline, his shooting became more precise. Kobe dribbled the ball laterally and passed it to Horry who ran to the left corner for the ball.
Huo Nai jumped up to Snow with the ball in both hands and directly made a three-pointer. He is not afraid of not making a shot, but there is O’Neal, a giant inside, who has guaranteed rebounds, and perhaps a relaxed mentality. This ball has a good rhythm, easy hits, 8:0.
Larry Brown had no choice but to call a timeout, and the 76ers collapsed in less than half time.
