Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 156

Although Malone and Stockton fought their lives, the Lakers still expanded the point difference to 15 points, and Sloan could only put all the main players on the court ahead of time.

Commentator Link said: “The overall strength of the Lakers players has overwhelmed the Jazz. Players like Horry and Mobley can start on other teams.”

Smith said: “In the past few years, there have been more and more new generation players headed by Kobe. I really don’t know what the league will look like when these players grow up?”

Link laughed and said: “I hope players like Iverson and McGrady will not be suppressed by Kobe for the rest of their lives like the older generation players meet Michael Jordan.”

Smith sighed: “Sometimes I wonder if Kobe Bryant is God’s bastard, and he has been successful both on and off the court. The most important thing is that your talent is good, and you still work so hard. Now it is circulating within the Lakers. In other words, if you didn’t see the four o’clock sunrise in Los Angeles, you would not have seen Kobe working hard.”

At eight minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers played the main players one after another, but Bryant was replaced and rested, and the team organization task was handed over to Fisher.

At this time, you can see the true role of Kobe on the court. Although Fisher’s organizational ability has improved a lot under the guidance of the old Nelson, his talent is limited.

Fisher’s organization is mechanical, rigid, and quite satisfactory. If he is qualified on an ordinary team, but as far as the Lakers are concerned, the players are very strong. As a point guard who controls the rhythm of the team, he cannot be so ordinary. Field vision, master-level passing skills, this is the important reason why in Kobe’s previous life, Fisher was clearly only one draft lower than Nash, but his achievements and historical status were far inferior to the latter.

Fisher has high emotional intelligence and strong interpersonal skills. Many people on the Lakers are willing to be close to his nice-speaking teammate. Kobe is the only one who has been in a nod to the fish after three seasons.

Kobe knows how bad his teammate’s character is. O’Neal caused the conflict during Kobe’s rookie season. Although there is a tactical conflict between Harris and Kobe, there is also a shadow of Fisher.

Seeing the disintegration of the Lakers F4 in the original time and space, the strength dropped and immediately went to the Warriors and Jazz to hold the thigh. In the end, it was discovered that Los Angeles was making money and was migrating on the pretext of his daughter’s medical treatment, which caused Sloan to curse. Being traded to the Rockets immediately showed a poor professional attitude and demanded a buyout. As a result, the Rockets, which had a good momentum during the season, failed because they did not have a backup point guard (Lori was injured and relied on Dr. De). Later, I wanted to go to the powerful Mavericks to hold the thighs, but found that the Mavericks had become paper tigers. He immediately blackmailed Cuban on the pretext of retiring and defected to the championship contender Thunder, making Cuban jumped with anger. After splitting the three thunder masters, seeing Zen master’s confusion in the management of New York, he immediately defected to Zen master. During the period, he and his teammate Barnes’s wife messed up, and the good man who loves and protects the family completely collapsed. Yang Feng Yin violated, two sides and three swords, clumsy, hypocritical attitude is the most true interpretation of Fisher’s character!

Kobe is afraid to become friends with such a person.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe was replaced on the court. Because of Kobe’s review of the team, the Lakers played a wonderful combination of inside and outside, O’Neal staged dunks many times, and outsiders Ray Allen and Horry also Many three-pointers were thrown.

Kobe actually discovered a very interesting phenomenon. Stars who emerged in the 1980s, such as Jordan, Malone, Gary Payton, Richmond, and others, have a much higher mid-range shooting percentage than three-point long-range shooting, so this In a period of time, many stars with three-point ability, such as Reggie Miller, Horry, Stockton, Pippen, etc., were led to rarely shoot three-pointers. Even Reggie Miller, who was good at three-pointers, did not average a game. To two. The stars who emerged in the 1990s such as Grant Hill, Iverson, McGrady, Carter, etc., obviously can practice good three-pointers, but they have to rely on talent, like to break through, and make themselves bruised, even Thunder Allen also turned into a perimeter shooter after being injured. After two thousand years, the stars who appeared after two thousand years, because of the changes in the defensive rules, the three-pointer shooting rate was higher than the two-pointer, but there was also a problem, that is, it is difficult to have a rim finisher like O’Neal.

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers led the Jazz by more than 20 points 86 to 64. The Jazz mainly lost to the bench.

In the last quarter, Nelson sent Kobe, Horry, Ray Allen, Mobley and Nowitzki. Ray Allen scored two three-pointers, turning the game into garbage time.

110 to 90, the Lakers beat the Jazz away.

Kobe made 10 of 18 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, 29 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Ray Allen, O’Neal, Barkley, Horry, Nowitzki, Mobley Also scored in double figures.

For the Jazz, Malone had 27 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, Stockton had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, Hornacek had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Greg Foster 12 points, Brian Russell 14 points and 7 Rebounds and 2 assists.

At the press conference, Sr. Nelson spoke of the game and commented: “It is obvious that the Jazz are staying in this game, because Malone only played 30 minutes and Stockton only played 24 minutes. This is not Their true strength ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sloan immediately grabbed the words: “The Lakers have not shown their full strength, and O’Neal and Kobe have only played for 30 minutes. “

After returning to Los Angeles for a day off, the Lakers defeated the underdog Grizzlies 117 to 102 at home.

The offensive performance of the Grizzlies players was not bad, but there was a problem with the defense. The Lakers threw 11 three-pointers from the outside. The Grizzlies were very awkward to die. They put their main defensive energy on O’Neal.

The Lakers learned from Olajuwon’s one-pronged Optimus play style, which killed their opponents for life and made other teams looking at the Lakers a headache.

Back to back the next day, the Lakers beat the Warriors 106-102 away.

In this game, Shaquille O’Neal and Barkley both rested, and Kobe played with other players.

There were problems with the defense of both sides in this campaign, especially O’Neal’s absence, which caused the Lakers’ ability to defend the basket sharply. Fortunately, the Lakers felt good on the outside and had the last laugh in the offensive battle.

But what is surprising is that the Lakers then lost to the Trail Blazers, Rockets, Spurs, three consecutive losses.

The Lakers’ loss has a lot to do with Kobe and O’Neal’s exchange of breaks. In addition, the unstable state of the rookies is also the main reason. The old Nelson has no choice but to wait for them to grow and improve.

Old Nelson’s alternate OK combination drew a severe warning from Stern. Jerry West could only negotiate with Old Nelson: “Tang, Kobe and O’Neal must play together in the remaining four games of the regular season, even if they are compressed. The playing time is fine. We can’t offend the league headquarters anymore.”

“Okay! I will recruit.” Old Nelson complained: “The Spurs, Jazz and other teams are also taking turns, why are they always staring at us?”

“Tang, this is how the tree attracts the wind!”
