My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 312 The League's Strongest Off-The-Ball Movement (37)

"The fourth quarter is about to start! Kobe's total score has reached 44 points! The game is still in a very anxious state! Will Kobe perform any magic again today!" Larry Bird envied every audience present It can be heard that he really wants to go back to his 18-year-old youth and have a century war with Kobe. It's a pity that time waits for no one, and Larry Bird will never know if he will have a chance to beat Kobe.

"89:84. The Lakers lead by 5 points, and the Lakers' morale in the away game is very high. The fourth quarter has begun! Let's see the lineups of both sides!"

"The Lakers didn't play Kobe! It seems that Harris wants Kobe to rest for a while, and will directly take away the game later. I have to say that this decision is very bold. If in order to preserve his physical fitness, he finally lost this key battle , then the Lakers will fall behind the Bulls in record and lose the number one throne in the league. Harris dares to put Kobe on the bench at this time, is this the demeanor of the strongest coach in the NBA this season!?"

Harris pushed aside Bryant, who wanted to play. He didn't seem to see Kobe hurting himself for the regular season. In this game, Kobe's playing time and some actions on the court made him a little worried. In the third quarter, Kobe threw himself into the sky several times in order to break the double-team, and then completed the attack with an incredible juggling move. Fans will feel happy, but as a coach, it seems really frightening.

"Am I ready to play? Coach."

This is the fifth time Harris heard Kobe ask this question. With 8 minutes left in the game, the Lakers' main lineup was suppressed by the Pacers. The Lakers didn't shoot a three-pointer in this game. Larry Brown formed an impregnable line of defense. The Lakers can't shoot outside, which means that it is almost impossible to score inside.

The score was point by point and slowly moved back. The Pacers' offensive rhythm is very slow, so their speed of chasing points is not fast. Unless Miller breaks out, the Pacers' offense will always have some constipation. This is related to the coach and player configuration. With such a lineup system, the offense is difficult to run smoothly.

With Mark Jackson swaying away from Fisher, Reggie Miller reached the bottom corner of the basket to complete a three-pointer. Los Angeles Lakers 93:94 Indiana Pacers, the Pacers completed a go-ahead.

"Kobe, let's play." Harris squeezed his fists, and now is the real game.

The Lakers' lineup was adjusted to Kobe, Eddie, Bowen, Horry, and Campbell.

The Pacers lineup is Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Duane Ferrell, Dale Davis, Rick Schmitz.

It's time, Kobe picked up his jersey.

"Boy, did you dare to come up because you were overtaken? Did your coach ask you to be a scapegoat?" Reggie Miller pestered him again, muttering annoyingly.

"Remember, the score you scored just now is your last score in this game." Kobe stared at Reggie Miller coldly, and Miller seemed to have an instinctive fear for a moment, just like the animal world. The animal met his natural enemy. All of a sudden it's very frightening, anxiety is mortally threatened.

The next moment Reggie Miller got out of this state. Miller couldn't believe it. He was actually frightened by an 18-year-old player. Just now, it was as if he was being targeted by a poisonous viper. When he regained consciousness, he realized how humbling this feeling was!

"The last score? Michael didn't dare to talk to me like that, Gary didn't dare to talk to me like that, it's up to you? You brat, don't say too many big words, be careful that Fengda flashes his tongue. I want to be in this position, yes , Here it is. Make a three-pointer in front of you. I heard that you made a three-pointer with your eyes closed before. You are really lucky, and today is my lucky day. Prepare to stay at home and cry! "

Kobe sneered, looking at Reggie Miller jumping up and down as if looking at a clown. The front end of the game is that Kobe doesn't want to compete against off-ball players. It's not that Kobe can't defend off-ball players.

A player like Reggie Miller who is a defensive off-the-ball player consumes a lot of energy. And often run back and forth for several laps, and in the end the opponent did not complete the offense through Miller at all, which caused the physical energy spent on the defensive end to be wasted. Therefore, it is rare to see stars chasing players without the ball. Just like today's Lakers handed Reggie Miller to Eddie Jones and Bruce Bowen, it's not that Kobe can't kill Miller, but it's unnecessary.

Eddie Jones and Bruce Bowen are doing pretty well. Currently Miller has scored 21 points, neither high nor low. Just looking at Miller's enthusiasm, he should have scored more in this game. The Lakers' defense still destroyed many of Miller's offensive opportunities.

And now, Kobe is ready to defend himself. There is not much time left in the game. Even if the offensive and defensive ends take over together, Kobe believes that his physical fitness is sufficient.

Next, Bryant stood directly in front of Miller.

"Oh? Boy, are you going to compete with me without the ball?" Miller looked shocked, as if admiring Kobe's courage, but Kobe ignored him at all. This guy plays too much. We grew up arguing together, that's why we talk so badly. Hitting him in the face with victory later will be more convincing than fighting him for victory.

The Pacers' offense began to run smoothly. Eddie Jones switched to Mark Jackson. Facing the turtle-like Mark Jackson, Eddie Jones' defense was not much different from Kobe's defense.

run! Rotation!

Miller began to move around, using players on the field, either his own or the opponent, to move wildly and circle around.

Miller's erratic movement is definitely one of the strongest moves without the ball in the history of basketball. Continuous rhythm changes, stop, speed up, change direction, stop again, and run backwards.

A few moves are enough to dazzle more than 90% of the players in the league. Not to mention defending, even if they can keep up, it is already very good.

And Kobe is short, like a black panther, running continuously with Miller!

Stop and start! Miller's running rhythm was firmly followed by Kobe!

"Miller's running position has played the strongest running position, and Kobe has kept up! Every rhythm change and the team's pick-and-roll, Kobe has cracked it!" Larry Bird also expressed his concern for running without the ball. A player who knows a lot, Kobe's defense this time made him unbelievable.

There are more nights! ! !
