Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 161
The Lakers vs. Spurs are the most watched game in the second round. There is no way, the field surgery is too famous. As a highly developed entertainment industry in Los Angeles, people are often more concerned about Hollywood superstars, leaving behind the background net worth, Kobe has become a Hollywood A-class star only by virtue of the hit of “The Matrix”.
ABC Radio specifically invited some basketball experts to analyze the pros and cons of the two teams’ lineups and predict the outcome.
Center Admiral David Robinson played against Sharks O’Neal. Olajuwon may be even better at the peak of the four major centers, but now O’Neal has reached the peak, by contrast Robinson has entered the latter stage of his career.
Power forward Barkley against Jerome Corsi, Barkley dominates. Although the two are about to retire, Barkley, who was not seriously injured, is still the league’s super power forward.
Small forward Eddie Jones played against Sean Elliott, both of them were defensive, but Jones was still in his prime, and the other side would retire within two years. Obviously Jones had an absolute advantage.
Shooting guard Ray Allen played against Mario Eli, and the Lakers had the upper hand. After Ray Allen made it clear this season, he was obviously stronger than the same period in history.
Point guard Kobe vs. Billups, Kobe dominates both in terms of physical fitness and experience. Billups has improved a lot this season and is already the top five point guard in the league.
In the bench competition, although the Lakers are mostly rookies, they completely overwhelm the Spurs in strength.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from the match that the overall aging of the Spurs is too serious.
Almost all experts are optimistic about the Lakers’ promotion, the team is luxurious, the stars are more famous, the playoffs are experienced, and they have home court advantage.
In this match, the old Nelson played against his favorite apprentice Popovich.
Before the game, the players and coaches of both sides were very low-key. Popovich emphasized hard work before the game. Winning a game is a victory. The old Nelson didn’t say anything. He was prepared to use his strength to overthrow everything.
On May 17, the day the game started, the Lakers just had a simple warm-up training.
In the evening, before the game, the players in the Lakers locker room were chatting about how to play, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Because of Kobe’s pressure and O’Neal’s love of making trouble, the Lakers did not have any shit, Fisher did. I want to be a locker room boss, but no one listens to him.
Old Nelson clapped twice and said loudly: “I don’t worry about any problems against the Spurs, but I don’t want to be held back by them. This round I ask to sweep them. Our biggest enemy this season is the Houston Youth Army. Too much energy was wasted on the Spurs.”
All the players showed solemn expressions. After all, they played against the Rockets this season and knew how difficult they were.
“However, everyone should not be under pressure. We have the strength and ability to defend victory without fear of any challenge.”
Old Nelson’s words have been supported by everyone, and the Lakers are full of confidence, both new and old players.
O’Neal said loudly: “We have to defend this season and establish a dynasty. We even defeated the powerful Bulls last year, and it is even more unlikely that anyone can stop us this season.”
The players came out and started to introduce the players from both sides. Staples atmosphere was very warm.
Smith, who has just signed with ABC, said: “The game is about to begin. From the strength of both sides, the Lakers have an absolute advantage.”
The host next to him, Link, said: “Strictly speaking, this is still a master-disciple duel. Last season, Popovich invited Nelson to become the Spurs bishop, but Nelson did not agree, but came to coach the Lakers. .”
The two of you started to talk about gossip, and also warmed up the game.
Visiting Spurs starting: Billups, David Robinson, Avery Johnson, Sean Elliott, Mario Ellie.
Home team Lakers starting: Kobe, O’Neal, Barkley, Ray Allen, Eddie Jones.
O’Neal won the jump ball and the game began.
Kobe passed the ball to O’Neal and everyone pulled away.
Ray Allen and Kobe ran to the bottom corners on both sides, Barkley came to the high post, and Jones ran near the free throw line on the right.
O’Neal leaned against David Robinson twice and suddenly split the ball to the left. Billups hurriedly changed defense to keep up. Kobe didn’t play hard after receiving the ball, but made a pick-and-roll with Barkley to get rid of Billup. Sis then gave the ball to Ray Allen, who ran to the right side of the free throw line, and Ray Allen made an open shot. 0: 2.
The goal was very easy, and the young general Avery Johnson couldn’t keep up.
Smith exclaimed: “The line of the ball is too clear, except for Billups from the outside of the Spurs, everyone is too slow.”
Link sighed: “This is the crush of talent, you have no way at all.”
The Spurs attacked, Robinson screened Billups on the right side. After O’Neal changed defense, Barkley became a defense against Billups. Billups received the pass and ran to the right three-point line to shoot cold arrows, hollow. Access to the network. 3:2.
Popovich clapped on the side and told the players loudly to vote whenever they got the chance. Kobe took a look at Popovich and found that this guy has a lot of style in the future. Popovich’s greatest ability is to watch the food and eat. In this time and space, he did not get Duncan, so he could only build a team with Robinson and Billups as the core. This instead made the Spurs’ overall play style biased towards the Jazz, with pick-and-roll tactics as the mainstay. . At the same time, because Kobe has turned the three-pointer into a conventional weapon, Popovich, who publicly clamored that he hated the three-pointer, developed a three-point tactic with Billups as the main body. The Suns were defeated by Billups in the last round. Cast to death.
The Lakers offense, Kobe Bryant and Barkley pick and roll, this time it is Robinson, Robinson is relatively different among the four major centers, mainly shooting from the center, rarely hit hard at the basket, so he moves faster.
Kobe took the ball and walked on the right, attracted the defense and passed the ball to Barkley in the high post.
Barkley made a hit. 3:4.
Obviously ~www.mtlnovel.com~ other Spurs players are a little bit disregarded, this time the defense is missing.
The Spurs attacked. Robinson caught the ball and was followed by O’Neal. He could only pass the ball to Billups. Billupsze responded to the pass and gave it to Johnson, who ran out of the open position. The latter made a jumper to hit the iron and the rebound was snatched by Kobe.
Johnson is not good at shooting himself, and this game started just to help Billups share the pressure of possession.
The Spurs sold many veterans including Johnson in the offseason, but unfortunately the chips were too high and eventually they did not trade a capable player.
The player transaction in the league also depends on the team. The best player among them is the Celtics’ cardinals, because there are too many people in the Celtics system who hold the management of other teams in the league, and these People are very loyal to the parent team, so the Celtics are often very easy to trade.
The second is the Lakers LOGO male Jerry West, who is accurate and knows how to make good use of the situation.
The Spurs are more difficult to press, no connection, no chips, the market is still small, the original time and space are all dependent on Popovich’s hard work, this is the troika.
Kobe dribbled to the frontcourt, and the Lakers’ positional battle opened again. The old Nelson emphasized the control of the rhythm before the game, Kobe slowed down and did not play, mainly to take care of O’Neal and Barkley.
Kobe’s previous life, D’Antoni’s Suns and Nelson’s Warriors all proved one thing, pure running and bombing is very difficult to win the championship, the team rhythm must be free and flexible.
In this life, if the Lakers didn’t have O’Neal and Kobe, the basic system of the Lakers could be guaranteed. With the crazy character of the old Nelson, many of his tactics would be difficult to achieve. No matter how good the tactics are, they need good players to execute.
Kobe faced the young general and suddenly drew outside the three-point line. The basketball hit the board to the basket, 3:7.
