Chapter 372: The Record Is Right in Sight
Many people think Kobe Bryant is a blacksmith. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is not right, because Kobe Bryant's career shooting rate is nearly 45%, which is certainly not high compared to Jordan's 50%, but it is by no means a professional blacksmith, and he cannot be said to be the number one blacksmith in history just because Kobe Bryant has made many shots. (Kidd laughs but doesn't say a word.) )
There are also many Kohei who think that Kobe Bryant is a black hole in the ball and does not pass the ball.
This is also a misconception, and Bryant's career average of 4.7 assists per game is only 0.6 fewer than Jordan's 5.3 assists.
As an SG, as an offensive endpoint, Kobe Bryant's assists are also not small.
In his peak season, he also averaged more than 6 assists per game, so Kobe Bryant's passing was not bad.
So in addition to his physical fitness, what is the difference between Kobe Bryant and Jordan?
The answer is to make a choice!
Kobe always likes to use a lot of difficult moves to finish the offense, it is true that playing like this can play a lot of elegant and chic goals, but at the same time, it also represents three words "unreasonable"!
Mr. Zhang Li is not a parallel import, when the old man was young, but Charles Barkley of Asia has a deep understanding of basketball.
Although he likes Kobe's style of play very much, and unprincipledly claims that Kobe's actions are reasonable even if they are unreasonable, as long as they are scored.
But what about the goals that weren't scored?
When facing ordinary stars, Kobe Bryant is a higher rank, so even if his shot selection is not reasonable, with his super personal ability, there is still a good chance to win the game.
But in the face of a player like Ruan Erniu with historical dominance, any slight shortcomings of Kobe Bryant will be infinitely magnified.
For example, when encountering a joint defense, Kobe Bryant can pass the ball first before falling into the encirclement, and then catch the ball and shoot. But he had to solve the problem alone, so he was trapped by the Hawks' overall defense.
The Lakers' journey to the playoffs this season was too easy, they went all the way to the Finals, and at the same time, they also developed an extremely bad habit - just give the ball to Kobe Bryant at critical moments.
Kobe dependence has always been a stubborn disease of the Lakers, and the subsequent impact of this disease is very likely to continue after Kobe Bryant's retirement.
Of course, the current Lakers have been in big trouble, Kobe Bryant can't shoot from the outside, and after entering the three-point line, he was immediately caught by the Hawks.
And who can stand up for the Lakers?
Only one Pau Gasol!
If it weren't for his multiple mid-range shots in the high post, the game would have gone into garbage time altogether.
However, the Spaniard, who played well on the offensive end, had nothing to do with Kraft Nguyen on the defensive end.
Ruan Erniu continued the hot hand of the first half in the third quarter, whether it was a mid-range shot or a back-to-back single, he beat Gasol to a temperless.
Phil Jackson called a timeout, and his approach was to block the Hawks' offense with the same combination defense, which was perhaps the most effective way to limit Kraft Nguyen.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Embarrassment held the ball and passed to Ruan Erniu, who was alone in the low post with his back to Gasol.
Fisher caught up, and after Erniu made an inward feint, he immediately broke through Gasol from the outside, and before Lao Yu and his sister-in-law completed the encirclement, he broke through the encirclement and completed the attack.
The Lakers' joint defense is also a long-standing problem, and perhaps this is also a kind of fate.
Before 2001, the NBA already had the rudiments of joint defense, and of course, at that time, limited to defensive rules, coaches just claimed that he was playing ordinary bag defense.
Why did the league suddenly follow the rules of international basketball after 2001 and legalize joint defense?
The answer is a man named Shaquille O'Neal, using his massive frame, is about to win a third championship trophy for the Lakers and build a Lakers dynasty that spans the centuries.
The league's weakening of tall centers has been consistent since the 90s.
It is also an indisputable fact that the traditional center of the United States is gradually weakening, in addition to the slackness of its own basic skills training, the strength of the backcourt players led by Jordan, and the weakening of the league's various policies for the center.
Gone are the days of a tall center with a combined defense and three seconds of defense.
The strength of the Lakers has given birth to the legitimization of joint defense tactics, but the Lakers themselves have not been able to play joint defense, which is really a sad story.
At 34:24, Gasol scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist in a single quarter, and when the two bulls focused more on Kobe, Gasol seized almost every offensive opportunity.
But Kobe Bryant's miserable data of 3 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist in a single quarter still made the Hawks further widen the score.
At the end of the third quarter, at 94:72, the Lakers trailed the Hawks by 22 points at home, a score that could almost declare the Lakers lose G3.
On the ESPN commentary bench, Jeff Van Gundy spread his hands and said: "If it is a die-hard Lakers fan, you can leave the court early or turn off the TV, and the outcome of the game will not change." ”
Mark Jackson said: "Hey, Jeff, you have to be careful, be careful that ESPN is deducting your salary, you are affecting the ratings. ”
Jeff Van Gundy was unfazed by this, continuing: "It turns out that the league was absolutely right to give the best coach to Mike Woodson. At least he put Kraft Nguyen in the center position, magically helping the Hawks rise.
In comparison, a coach with 11 championship rings in his hand is much worse, and he doesn't know how to defend at all. ”
Mike Brin said, "Everybody knows who's talking about it, and what do you two think about the Hawks?"
Mark Jackson said: "If there's one team that's underrated this season, it's the Eagles, they've been improving, and every time they've improved, it's been unexpected.
Whoever wins the championship is already thinking about next season. I would say that next season's Hawks may be even more exciting. ”
Jeff Van Gundy added: "Especially Kraft Nguyen, in the first three quarters, he has scored 35 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, and if the Lakers don't surrender, they probably haven't suffered more humiliation." ”
Mike Brin said: "What do you mean?"
Van Gundy smiled: "O'Neal once set a 44+20 data in the Finals for the Lakers in the 00-01 season, do you think Ruan Erniu will break this record today?"
The three of them laughed at the same time, this question should be left to the Lakers to answer.
Admitting defeat in advance is obviously too embarrassing for the Lakers, this is the Staples Center; if you don't admit defeat, will you let Ruan Erniu break the big shark's strong record?
Even Kobe Bryant definitely didn't want to.
Someone chopped off Superman data on his own head, even if the broken record was created by O'Neal, whom he loved and hated.
Just before the start of the third and fourth quarters, there was a small tidbit on the sidelines.
Jack Nicholson and Spike Lee, two big names in the entertainment industry, quarreled again.
"Spike, you're happy that it's not your Knicks who made it to the Finals. ”
"Jack, shut your foul mouth, the Hawks are my hometown team too. Besides, as long as I see you unhappy, I am willing to be happy!"
The two big names are not young, but they don't look respectable at all, and they quarrel with elementary school students.
