My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 311 An anxious second half

"Stunning dunks! All-star dunk king Kobe Bryant! Another stunning dunk! The 2.24-meter Rick Schmitz is like a stake in front of him! The only thing he can do is to retreat continuously and fight for Don't fall to the ground!"

"Oh, Kobe rolled twice on the ground, and his teammates moved over worriedly."

"Kobe grabbed his teammate's hand and stood up from the ground, patted his jersey, his face was still as calm as water, as if completing this exaggerated dunk was just a normal thing! As if it wasn't him who fell to the ground! "

"The referee hesitated for a while and didn't give a foul! Then it's the Pacers' backcourt!"

"Larry Brown looked dignified. Kobe's sudden loss of control would make him panic? If I were the head coach of the Pacers, I would panic. With such a player on the court, you can't use academic theory. To interpret basketball!"

Now a question rang through Larry Brown's mind.

Can two people really defend against Kobe?

No! It was just an accident!

Larry Brown could only tell himself that.

Larry Brown couldn't imagine how the game would go on if neither of them could restrain Kobe. In the philosophy of academic coaches, this kind of player does not exist, and the appearance of Kobe subverted his basketball philosophy. Such a player is a subversion of traditional basketball. How can one person beat a team?

The game continued, and Mark Jackson was still on his back, dribbling the ball like a turtle. Kobe had no choice but to let him organize the attack.

This time Mark Jackson used a pick-and-roll to get the ball to the basket for Dale Davis, and missed a small throw. It seems that the slam dunk just now still made the Indiana Pacers player's palms sweat. Their movements are a little unsteady and out of shape.

Offensive and defensive transitions continue to be the Lakers' offense.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe began to try to take the initiative to challenge the double-team. He was testing the strength of the Pacers' double-team. One Duane Ferrer and the other defender are often Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson. Such a double-team is actually not without a chance of blasting him. The Pacers under Larry Brown are stronger in team defense, not one-on-one defense.

Of course, this does not mean that Kobe gave up passing the ball to his teammates, and has an offensive black hole like Ben Wallace on the offensive end. Even if Kobe is double-teamed, the team's offensive space is actually not that wide. This made it impossible for Kobe to pass the ball directly to complete the offense in many cases. His teammates even needed to organize the movement, or conduct a second round of heads-up, so as to create offensive opportunities.

So Kobe began to deliberately strengthen his personal offensive ratio. At this time, Harris also had an idea, and then replaced Robert Horry and replaced Big Ben.

The change brought about by this adjustment is obvious!

Ben Wallace, who had just completed a single defense against Weber before, became a spectator again in this game. He does have a lot of things to improve, and he is really useless against the Indiana Pacers' lineup.

Horry usually starts with Horry, replacing Campbell and letting Big Ben and Horry serve as the dead five. But today, Big Ben was obviously on both offensive and defensive ends in front of Rick Schmitz, and he couldn't even pass the protection of rebounds. The difference of more than 20 centimeters between the two is enough to affect everything, so Campbell must stay on the court. Even if there is a difference of more than ten centimeters in height, such a gap can be slightly made up with agility. Although at a disadvantage, at least it will not collapse.

The inside suffers, and all the players of the Lakers can be found on the outside.

After Horry came on the court, he once again acted as the team's brain, and Kobe began to give up a lot of ball-holding offenses. It is impossible to think about holding the ball and breaking through the organization under double-teaming.

With Horry as the axis, Kobe began to switch to playing off the ball, and played some cuts to the basket with Horry, off-ball screens, empty-handed running, and hand-to-hand three-pointers, so that he can quickly shoot offensive tactics. These tactics allow Kobe to make quick shots before the double-team is formed, and as long as Kobe is given a small space, Kobe can complete high-quality shots.

From time to time, relying on explosive power, he went to the basket and completed a forced dunk or layup under difficult conditions. He always gave the Pacers players a kind of psychological pressure and told them-hey! As long as I want to score, you can't guard me!

Kobe started scoring consecutively! The combination of Horry and Kobe complements each other, and it can be said that they have achieved each other. Both of them belong to the golf quotient, and they have both shooting and passing players. The Pacers' defensive system and Larry Brown's defensive arrangement were cracked.

This way of scoring completely thanks to the impact of early double-teaming. Kobe scored in a row! Unstoppable scoring! Feeling hot, Kobe scored 17 points in 8 minutes in the third quarter. The total score has reached 44 points!

On the Pacers side, the offensive end still relies on Mark Jackson's organization. Mark Jackson is still able to hold the ball steadily. He is one of the few players in the league who can play under Kobe without any mistakes and can organize smoothly. This is rare, and few players can easily organize under Kobe's defense.

Reggie Miller began to gallop around the field, and Bowen and Eddie Jones accompanied him to gallop all over the field. The rest of the offense is some pick-and-rolls and air cuts. The Pacers' offensive tactics are really simple and clear, that is, on the basis of not making mistakes and not giving the whole court a fast break, delaying time as much as possible and pressing the rhythm to play. Let the advantages of the big lineup be maximized. The inside advantage of the big lineup is still obvious. The Blazers completed consecutive inside offenses. The Lakers' inside loopholes have been known to more and more teams.

But that didn't shake the score either. The pace of the Pacers really affected the Lakers. Even if Kobe wanted to speed up, under the control of Mark Jackson, the rhythm was suppressed.

The pace is slow, so it is difficult to hit a wave of scoring climaxes. The Lakers have always been unable to open the score. Although the Lakers still have the upper hand in the situation, Larry Brown is still satisfied with this situation.

Immediately after the substitutes began to intersperse the game, the Lakers still rotated in a large area. In order to ensure the health and physical condition of the players in the final schedule, Harris still rotated regularly. In this way, the point difference between Kobe and Horry was gradually recovered. . The score was very tight, and the Lakers had no way to open the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers 89:84 Pacers.

In the fourth quarter, the decisive battle is coming! !
