My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 309 Bowen's New Trick - Untie the Laces (27)

"Again! Kobe started with four for four! He showed off his post-up skills in front of Mark Jackson! He seems to be proving who is the best point guard in the league with post-up skills!"

"Kobe's post-up technique reminds me of Magician, but it is very different from MAGCI." Bird touched his smooth chin, thinking of Magic Johnson, who had the first post-up technique in history at the time.

The magician also likes to complete assists in a back-up situation, which is a bit like Mark Jackson. The difference is that Mark Jackson just used this method to get stuck in the offensive position so that he could keep his vision and passing opportunities at all times. The magician is more about threatening the opponent by turning his back, actively tearing out the open space, rather than passively waiting for his teammates to move.

Kobe's back is more of an independent offense. After attracting multiple defensive players, Kobe may not be able to pass the ball 100%. His style of play is somewhat unreasonable, and he seems to be actively challenging the defense. Destroy the defense head-on, and then lead your teammates through the broken loopholes to form waves of attacks to win the game.

The styles are very different, and the performance of Kobe and Mark Jackson in this game is obvious to all.

Kobe simplified the complexity, and his simple but efficient offense made Larry Brown's defensive arrangement helpless, so he could only choose to pause.

"Damn it, Mark, you can't guard Kobe. Then switch defenses!" Larry Brown originally expected Mark Jackson to take him as a good way to deal with Kobe. But it seems that this plan has failed. If the league wants to defend Kobe, few point guards can do it. Duane Ferrer still has to be used to defend Kobe.

Duane Ferrer and Antonio Davis share the starting lineup this season, and Larry Brown will often switch their appearances. In this game, Larry Brown chose a slightly smaller body, only 2.01 meters 95KG Duane Ferrell. Originally, the team's Rick Schmitz was a very big burden. The 2.24-meter Rick Schmitz has already slowed down the rhythm. If the small forward position still uses the 2.06-meter Antonio Davis, then the Lakers' rhythm Can easily praise the Pacers.

On the other side, the players of the Blazers were not very good. Only Reggie Miller scored 2 three-pointers at the beginning, and the other players didn't seem to have a good way to face the Lakers' defense. Although Campbell can't defend the 2.24-meter Rick Schmitz, Rick Schmitz is still not an offensive insider.

As for the Lakers' perimeter defense group, they did a good job in this game. Reggie Miller keeps scoring and there's no way around that. Eddie Jones and Bowen took turns trying to defend Miller, but Miller, who is in good shape today, is not so good at defending.

In the past 6 minutes of the first quarter, Kobe scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 4 of 4 shots. On the other side, Reggie Miller made 4 of 6 shots and scored 10 points. The performances of the two are comparable, but Larry Brown obviously feels that the situation is out of control. Kobe can score, but it is too easy to score against Mark Jackson. Kobe's 60 points in three quarters are not diverse now. Larry Brown is not unaware Kobe is a player who can beat a team by himself. If Kobe continues to feel like this, all kinds of fairy balls will fly around and score easily.

"Let's double-team early, coach." Reggie Miller looked unhappy. The Lakers didn't make any targeted arrangements for his defense at all. Bryant.

"Wait a little longer." Larry Brown weighed the pros and cons. If he chooses to double-team early, the Pacers' conventional defensive system will completely collapse. It's not that no team has double-teamed Kobe in advance, and the effect is not ideal. Larry Brown believes that his tactical arrangement can slightly contain Kobe, rather than betting on the overall offensive feel of the Lakers.

Back on the court, Bryant switched from undersized Mark Jackson to Duane Ferrell on defense.

Kobe Bryant is still mainly active offense, supplemented by organization and series of play. Since the Pacers are a complete defensive system, what Kobe has to do is to make a loophole and let his teammates charge together.

"21 points in a single quarter!?" Larry Bird looked at Kobe who was still calm and walked slowly from the court to the bench, holding a technical statistics report, and exclaimed.

"21 points! It's exactly the same score as the Pacers team!" Ma Fu also opened his mouth wide.

Another exaggerated offensive performance, the Lakers 28:21 Pacers in the first quarter. And Kobe's score alone can be compared with the entire Pacers team.

This kind of scoring efficiency is not obtained in an easy one-on-one. Larry Brown created one trap after another for Kobe, but Kobe just didn't pass the ball! Just fight yourself!

When Mark Jackson was defending, he turned over with a step and stepped back to make a jumper! Duane Ferrell used face-up singles when defending! Three-threat, tentative step, quick pull-up jumper, before the double-team is formed, or even after the double-team is formed, with his excellent aerial adjustment ability to force the score.

Miller obviously couldn't keep up with Kobe's scoring rhythm.

"Referee! Damn it! That damned Bowen untied my shoelace!" Miller was not surprised, he had never seen such a sinister and shameless trick! He nearly tripped and fell to the ground! The Lakers are a bunch of hooligans.

Untie your shoelaces when you can't help it? The next step is to pull the ball pants!

That picture is about to enter the restricted level!

"Referee, don't care!" Miller was a little hysterical.

Several referees looked at each other, gave Bowen a common foul, and issued a warning. This kind of foul has really never happened in the league, and they don't know how heavy the penalty will be. With Crawford's example in front, they no longer dare to call the Lakers casually.

"Rookie! Pay attention to your behavior, you have been targeted!" The referee warned Bowen.

"Understood, I know, I was careless." Bowen looked innocent.

And this behavior also made Miller's mentality unbalanced, which eventually led to continuous strikes.

In the second quarter, the Pacers had a slight advantage in the collision of the bench lineup. Their role players have the physical fitness to crush the Lakers' bench. With Larry Brown's defensive system, the second team does not have a player like Kobe who can break everything.

With the score looming, Harris replaced Kobe. Let Kobe play with the second team for a while, and then join the starting lineup.

In this quarter, Kobe encountered an early double-team, and Larry Brown finally couldn't help it.

Kobe resolutely gave up irrational shot choices and began to organize a large number of series.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers 63:58 Pacers.

Kobe had 27 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in the half.

Miller had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

The outcome of the game is still in suspense.
