The Pope of Basketball Community

The source of Kobe's strength is that he is a mental patient.

In Yang Rui's previous life, looking at NBA history, it was difficult to find a player as unique and controversial as Kobe.

He has been to the top and fallen to the bottom; he can create miracles, but often has his own way of doing things; some say he is hardworking, while others say he is withdrawn and arrogant.

In fact, Kobe is an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient who just wants to win. In order to win, he adheres to the "666 training method".

In the West, "666" refers to the devil, which means devil training.

For unknown reasons, China's Kemi compiled a complete set of training content and posted it online, misinterpreting the meaning of devil training, saying that Kobe Bryant trained 6 days a week, 6 hours a day, 6 stages each time.

You know, the NBA plays at least three games a week. Kobe only trains for 6 hours a day. Does he still have the energy to play games? If this was really the practice, Kobe would have to stick out his tongue off the court...

Those fabricated training programs are even more jaw-dropping. Just training 6,000 times of 100-meter sprint can exhaust Captain America to death. 6,000 times of 100-meter sprint is 600,000 meters, which is a 600-kilometer sprint, and the full marathon is only 42.195 kilometers. Who would believe that Kobe Bryant sprinted along the famous Route 1 from Los Angeles to San Francisco every day?

Of course, Kobe is indeed a hard-working player. Four o'clock in the morning is also true, not every day, but when there are important games, such as this time against the Heat.

Kobe got up very early and went to the arena to practice shooting. In this way, he found his touch. He increased the amount of training in the morning to keep his body excited, and rested in the afternoon. By the evening, he would generally be in good condition. He never feels tired like this, as long as he wins one game, it will be worth it.

A hard-working person, a person who has worked hard and achieved success, is very suitable to be a role model.

Iguodala regarded Kobe as a role model and volunteered to go to the arena to practice three-point shooting.

Also receiving additional training is Mo Williams, who only signed a two-year minimum salary contract and has ambitions to replace Damon Jones as the starter.

Success and ambition are inseparable, and Yao Ming also wants to practice more. In the past two years, the media broke the news that Yao Ming is the most diligent player on the Knicks. He is heavy and his muscles are not strong enough. He can only improve his physical fitness through training. If he does not practice for a day, his whole body will feel uncomfortable.

In an interview, Yao Ming said that the amount of training in the United States is ten times that of when he was in China. Of course, there is the Larry Brown factor, but more depends on personal perseverance.

When he arrived with the Lakers, Yang Rui forced Yao Ming to reduce his training volume. Because he is not suitable for this path, increased training for heavier players can easily put a burden on the body and be counterproductive.

The Heat have always maintained a tradition of high-intensity training. After O'Neal increased his training volume, he lost a lot of weight, but his condition was not as good as before. In Yang Rui's previous life, it can be said that Pat Riley defeated O'Neal.

On the evening of the 25th, the players appeared on time.

O'Neal returned to Staples Arena and was booed by the fans. This was the treatment he received when he arrived last season. In the minds of Lakers fans, O'Neal is not a hero, not a pistachio, just a traitor.

In Yang Rui's previous life, O'Neal established a dynasty for the Lakers and received this kind of treatment, let alone now?

At the beginning of the 2009 season, the Lakers' official website conducted a survey on whether the Lakers should retire O'Neal's jersey. As a result, 80% of fans in Los Angeles did not support the retirement of O'Neal's jersey, which was very embarrassing. It was routine for O'Neal to be booed at the Lakers' home court. It wasn't until he got older that the fans stopped booing. By then, O'Neal had no strength and the fans didn't bother to boo anymore.

Have the Lakers ever treated O'Neal badly? No, he was given a big contract in 1996 and has been willing to spend money to find him a strong partner, so he left nothing. Directly joining the Heat was too harmful to his character, and Lakers fans also burned his jersey.

When Kobe Bryant came on the stage, he received the warmest applause from the audience; Yao Ming followed, and he has conquered the Los Angeles fans during this time.

At this time, O'Neal secretly vowed to take care of Yao Ming.

Little did he know that Yao Ming was also waiting for him.

Yao Ming has great ambitions and wants to replace O'Neal and become the number one center in the NBA. He hasn't reached his peak yet, and O'Neal's condition has begun to decline. He has an age advantage.

Before the game, Yang Rui encouraged Yao Ming to take bold action and perform with all his strength.

Interestingly, Heat guards Wade and Yao Ming have similar mentality, they want to challenge Kobe and further increase their popularity. He has improved significantly this season, averaging 24.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game.

The Lakers' starting five: Damon Jones, Kobe Bryant, Iguodala, Rasheed, Yao Ming.

Heat starting lineup: Payton, Wade, Eddie Jones, Haslem, O'Neal.

When he was winning the ball, it could be seen how much Yao Ming paid attention to this game. He focused on the referee's actions, jumped up with all his strength, and successfully passed the ball to Iguodala, who passed it to Kobe.

The Lakers players opened up, and Kobe and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line to get rid of Eddie Jones. In the first round, they mismatched O'Neal.

Kobe dribbled the ball to the left. O'Neal knew that Kobe's mid-range shot was accurate and guarded him. Kobe kept dribbling toward the baseline. Yao Ming did not cut through and stood outside the three-point line in the middle.

This is Yang Rui's arrangement. The two big men attract defenses from outside the three-point line and do not cut through the air, allowing Kobe and O'Neal to face off.

This suits Kobe so much, come on! Come and challenge!

O'Neal was depressed. His defense against Kobe was misplaced. If he doesn't do this, it won't work. If he goes to guard Rasheed, regardless of whether he can guard him, the Heat will have to let the 201CM Haslem face Yao Ming. Isn't that just giving away food?

Eddie Jones chased Kobe and formed a double-team with O'Neal. Kobe passed the ball to the center.

Yao Ming took a look at the ball and shot a three-pointer, with no pressure in the open position. After he entered the league, most of his shots were in the middle, and he became more and more confident. His shots were much more accurate than those of Yang Rui in his previous life, and he scored the first goal. 3 to 0.

Smith lamented: "It's terrible that Yao Ming's shooting range reaches beyond the three-point line. It's difficult for defenders to interfere even in front of him. It's impossible to leave him open to shoot. The Heat are not easy to defend against pick-and-rolls today. If O'Neal doesn't switch to guard Kobe, he will get rid of it." Jones can shoot jumpers and he can drive."

Barkley laughed: "This year the Lakers' high-post pick-and-roll is a big killer. Yao Ming's empty cut will cause headaches for the opponent."

The Heat attacked, O'Neal asked for the ball in the low post on the left, and wanted to return one, but Payton lobbed the ball over. The Heat's tactics this season are very simple, triangle offense and pick-and-roll, mainly relying on the ability of the stars.

O'Neal leaned against Yao Ming twice, squeezed into the penalty area with his strength, turned towards the baseline, and shot from close range with his right hand.

O'Neal's ball is usually a sure shot. As long as it hits the basket, few opponents can block it. Yao Ming did not hit the ball hard, but deliberately left space to jump and relied on his height to defend.

O'Neal turned around and jumped up with the ball in one hand. Yao didn't need much height to take off and put his hand on the basketball, giving O'Neal a big hat. Iguodala retreated quickly and picked up the basketball.

In the Lakers' position battle, Kobe played the pick-and-roll again, and Eddie Jones didn't dare double-team anymore. Kobe faced the frame at a 45-degree angle, dribbled continuously from his hips to the baseline, passed O'Neal, and scored with a backhand shot. 5 to 0.

Heat coach Stan Van Gundy immediately realized something was wrong. He had confidence in the Heat's offense, but on the defensive end, if O'Neal misplaced himself to guard Kobe, it would not end well.
