"Mr. Miller, your next game will be the Los Angeles Lakers, what do you think of Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant?"

"Kobe? It's just a high school student, this kind of player will pop up a few times a year, play well for a while, and then hit the rookie wall, and finally lose everyone. ”

"Can you comment on Bryant's off-ball movement skills and three-point shooting?"

"He doesn't have any movement skills at all! Let's tell you this, I'm going to teach him live tomorrow and you'll know what off-ball movement is and what three-point shooting is. Miller is full of confidence, and under his leadership, the team just beat the Eastern Conference giants and the Heat coached by Pat Riley today.

Reggie Miller scored 27 points and hit seven three-pointers. At the last moment, he sealed his throat with a sword, and in the face of Mo Ning, who was second only to the four major centers in the league, he hit a three-point shot.

Miller's big mouth chatters, and of course he has the capital. Miller is just an ordinary All-Star in regular time, but when it comes to critical moments, whether it is the playoffs or the decisive moment of the game, Miller will step up and shoot with his big heart again and again.

On the key ball! Miller is a superstar!

Bryant turned off the TV, and Miller's chatter finally died down.

There is no doubt that the current Pacers are a playoff-level powerhouse, but compared to the current Lakers, they are still far behind. The only thing to watch out for is Miller's outburst.

To lock Miller, you have to keep an eye on his movements. This is a player with an explosive score and once he throws away, there is a barrage of goals.

How to fight? Kobe Bryant already had a draft in mind.

...

It was a back-to-back at home, with the Lakers taking on the Indiana Pacers on Dec. 11.

Bryant drove to the arena early before the game, and the traffic in Los Angeles was very congested, but fortunately, the apartment was not too far from the arena.

"Kobe." Stepping into the locker room, Kirtlambis found Kobe.

"What?"

"Print the Indiana Pacers today, play the Portland Trail Blazers the day after tomorrow, and then next game, we'll play the Chicago Bulls."

Kobe Bryant's pupils constricted, finally, is he going to face the king of this era?

The peak god, how powerful it is, I really want to feel it.

The Lakers and Bulls are the only two teams in the league to have lost just three games. This game is destined to be the focus of the entire basketball world.

"I'll be ready."

"Hmm." Curt pushed his glasses, and as an assistant coach, he was already a little nervous. And Kobe Bryant is like a cold-blooded animal, indifferent.

It's hard to imagine an 18-year-old high school student with this kind of mature and sophisticated mentality, and Lambis lamented to himself.

The team players came to the pitch in turn.

Change your tracksuits, shoot to warm up, and the game is about to start.

"That kid, yes, don't look at others, talk about you!" Miller looked dismissive and found Kobe.

"What?"

"I'm going to throw 10 in the head today!"

"That's it?"

"Don't you understand? I'm going to blow you up! ”

"up? The leg gives you a cripple! ”

Reggie Miller was bruised, and he hated it when people attacked him with his childhood lameness. But he didn't want to think that he had made the provocation first.

Miller closed his mouth and secretly waited to give Kobe Bryant a good look.

The Lakers' starting lineup remains the same, with the Indiana Pacers starting PG, Travis Best, SG, Reggie Miller, SF, Antonio Davis, PF, Dale Davis, and Rick Schmitz.

Their coach is the predator, Larry Brown.

Brown is Jewish, born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1940. Brown was named ABA Coach of the Year three times in 1973, 1975 and early 1976; He led his college team to NCAA championships in 1980 and 1988.

The MLB Hall of Fame-caliber coach's coaching style follows the principle of "playing the right way."

Fans familiar with the NBA will be familiar with it, and it has almost become a Larry doctrine. So, what is the "right way"? "I don't know where I learned that, but I always tell my players to 'play hard, play smart, remember teamwork, enjoy basketball, and try to defend.'" ”

He is very good at tuning the team's defense, and he has turned a mediocre team into the league's big devil. Today's Pacers have also followed his philosophy and have been making waves in the East for many years.

The only pity is that he hasn't won a championship ring yet, which is also his regret. His contract is expiring this year, and there are rumours that he will step down at the end of the season to coach a team with a better chance of winning the title.

Under his tactical philosophy, the Pacers have one of the league's top interior defenses.

First up is the Dutch big center Rick Schmitz on the inside, a 2.24-meter giant!

The Pacers drafted him in the first round in 1988 and have since helped the Pacers establish themselves in an era where interior is king. His stats are not impressive, his physical strength is limited, and he averages 17.1 points and 7.7 rebounds in 29.2 minutes per game. If he can play the full 36 minutes, there is no doubt that he is a 20+10 All-Star level center!

Their power forward, Dale Davis is 2.11 meters tall. The No. 13 pick in '91 averaged 10.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game this year. is a standard brutalist blue-collar power forward.

Small forward Antonio Davis is 2.06 meters tall and is the No. 18 rookie in the second round in '90. He averaged 10.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game this season. He is also a blue-collar small forward with strong defensive ability.

These three players make up the Pacers' airtight interior defense! At the same time, their muscular size also creates excellent pick-and-roll space for Miller and Travis Best.

A straightforward team composition with a large number of blue-collar defenders piled up on the inside. Then a ball is played slowly to create opportunities for Miller or to hammer the basket. This configuration actually has some similarities with the later Pistons.

Kobe Bryant is very familiar with this team-building idea, a breaker, a pitcher, and three iron-blooded defensive players. Later, the Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons, and Larry Brown all used this routine to achieve success.

Especially the finals in 04, Kobe Bryant always remembered it. That round of the Finals almost ruined everything for the Lakers! Ruined everything for Kobe!

But Kobe Bryant, who has risen from the abyss of purgatory again, will be even stronger!

The game is about to begin, and Los Angeles Sports Channel has invited Magic and Goodrich to comment.

“MAGIC！ Heard you're going to start a new sports brand for Kobe? ”

"I'm going to work with eBay and Kobe Bryant to create a new sports brand that includes sports gear and sports supplements! We're going to revolutionize the world of sports! "The magician is full of confidence, the three-way talks are about to be finalized, and the future of this company will be very wonderful.

"That's great, I'm looking forward to it!"

"Man, let's get back to the game itself, or L.A. Sports is going to charge me for advertising."
