Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 162

Popovich saw the goal and shook his head reluctantly. Billups and Kobe will face the Spurs in a more passive situation, but using others to defend against Kobe is obviously sending points.

Earlier, Popovich had repeatedly raised the issue of trading Duncan with Dawson, and could even pack Billupsga’s first round of the next three years. If the salary conditions permit, the admiral can also be added, but Kobe has let Liu Xiaoli issued a strict order to the Rockets management. Duncan was listed as a never-tradeable player. Before the Celtics management was dizzy, Duncan was traded with McGrady. Kobe will not make such mistakes again.

In fact, it was possible to trade Duncan. On the one hand, Rick Pitino had a conflict with Duncan in order to support his disciple Antoine Walker. On the other hand, the Cardinal tried to make up for the loss of Kobe and was looking for a substitute. It happened that McGrady. Sent to the door.

Strictly speaking, considering all aspects of business and competition, it is not a loss to trade Maddie Wallace for Duncan. McGrady’s static talent, ball quotient and Duncan are comparable, even though the two are not in the same position. , But McGrady’s glass system is an important factor that caused him not to reach the highest point of ability.

In order to keep his position this season, Rick Pitino wanted McGrady to play with an injury, but McGrady and the cardinal together refused. After the regular season, the Celtics had already fired Rick Pitino. Now they are negotiating with Zen Master Phil Jackson, and it is said that the two parties have reached a preliminary agreement.

The Spurs attacked, Billups and Johnson cross-screened. Ray Allen hurriedly changed defense, Billups took two steps along the three-point line, attracted the defense and then hung to the cut-off Sean Elliott.

Elliott was blocked by O’Neal and immediately divided the ball to Robinson. Robinson leaned on Barkley to turn around and hit the hook. 5:7.

The Lakers attacked, O’Neal came out to give Kobe a pick-and-roll, Billups changed defense to catch up with Kobe, Kobe then passed Barkley.

Barkley guarded the ball and waited for his teammates to pass the run to Eddie Jones. Jones saw O’Neal already in the basket and immediately dropped the ball.

O’Neal took the ball with his back on his left side, turned around against Robinson, and hit a close-range hook. 5:9.

O’Neal was very active on both offensive and defensive goals. Later generations of O’Neal were reluctant to run out of the penalty zone to guard against pick-and-rolls after a sharp increase in weight. This caused him to have a general sense of presence on the defensive end. The reason why the original body froze with Kobe after three consecutive championships is because O’Neal was very lazy on the defensive end after the establishment of the dynasty, and coupled with the lack of active training, this conflict appeared and eventually parted ways.

Since the beginning of this season, O’Neal has begun to enter a state of incomprehension. Kobe estimates that if the Lakers win the championship this year, the league will begin to introduce some restrictions. After all, the establishment of the dynasty is not a good thing for the league. The Lakers won the championship last season. Although it made Jordan a lot less magical, it also let David Stern breathe a sigh of relief and let other teams in the league see the hope of winning.

Billups went to the bottom line, David Robinson and Avery Johnson changed to Kobe to defend Robinson after a pick and roll.

Robinson turned around and shot in the high post, facing Kobe’s shot wide, and O’Neal got the rebound.

The Spurs have two weaknesses in the starting lineup. One is that the offensive routine is too simple. Except for the internal and external connections between Billups and Robinson, others can only make some contributions on the defensive end. There is no way. Billups has a lot of them during the regular season. Passing has become a mistake. The reason is that except for Robinson, the abilities of others are not on the same level as Billups. The second is that rebounding is poor and can only rely on the Admiral, but Robinson’s ability to face O’Neal can’t guarantee the rebound, and there is also a Barkley who is not seriously injured next to him.

Returning to the defensive end, Ewing was depressed. He found that the Lakers were targeting his own internal offensive tactics. The Lakers wanted to consume him first. Barkley and O’Neal took turns to attack him, but it is speechless that no one from the Spurs can stand up and share his inside pressure.

Kobe held the ball fast, Billups desperately to chase back, Kobe long pass to find Ray Allen, Ray Allen caught the ball to chase the three-pointer to hit the iron.

When the opportunity came, there was no way to miss the ball. This was not over yet, O’Neal rushed for a rebound in the middle, relying on his weight and strength, to get the ball out behind Robinson.

Kobe picked up an offensive rebound from outside the penalty area and started a second organization.

Billups stepped forward to defend and Kobe passed the ball to Ray Allen.

Ray Allen leaned on Johnson, protected the ball with his back, Barkley came out to screen, Ray Allen took the ball to the left, the Lakers formation opened, attracted Robinson to move to the left and the ball passed to the center.

Kobe received the ball from the face frame, then made a high jumper and shot back. Ray Allen couldn’t take off with all his strength. Kobe is well prepared for this ball, the rhythm is perfect, the ball hollow into the net. 5:11.

As soon as the game opened, the Lakers played extremely smooth positional offense.

Everyone in the Lakers’ starting lineup is very high. UU reading www.uukanshu.com knows what they should do on the court.

On the surface, it seems that the Lakers stars are strong. In fact, after the playoffs, the old players such as O’Neal, Kobe, Ray Allen, and Barkley play all based on experience. They rarely play singles. The rookies are not chaotic. They all look like old players. .

Kobe’s current style of play is more and more biased towards Magic Johnson, completely unlike the last two seasons to guide the pass with singles ability, this shrinking season has completely adjusted the way.

The Spurs’ tactics are similar to those of the Jazz. The reason why the scene is completely underdog is that no one except Billups and Robinson can stand up. Johnson and others didn’t fight indiscriminately, but their ability was average, and the Spurs’ offense was split.

The old Nelson’s defense is aimed at the Spurs’ double stars inside and outside, so that Billups and Robinson can’t establish contact with their teammates, leaving the two in a single fight.

Robinson singles O’Neal with the ball, which is not his strong point, half of his body shot wide. Billups made a lot more three-pointers than the original time, but as long as he took the ball in this game, the Lakers must have a player to interfere and force him to pass.

Popovich frowned on the sidelines and didn’t know how to adjust. It was really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Tom Thibodeau understands the Spurs’ offensive and defensive weaknesses and has made targeted defensive deployments.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers started double-teaming against Lupus from outside, and Billups took the opportunity to pass the ball to the open teammate.

It’s a pity that Billups can’t control the feel of his teammates. The shooting ability of the Spurs’ peripheral players is really weak. Only Johnson is more reliable and his shooting percentage is less than 40%.

In the first quarter, the two sides have been fighting in positional battles, and the scores are not too much. 16 to 27, the Lakers lead by 11 points.
