Chapter 308: The Flame in Kobe's Eyes

"That kind of defensive result seems like a good result?" In midfield, Larry Brown broods in the dressing room. Although the early package collapsed the Pacers' defensive system, it also allowed Bryant to control the game with passing. If Bryant's ability to dominate the game with scoring is historic, then Bryant's passing playmaking ability is at best an All-Star point guard.

Although he was able to find an open spot, he maintained a good assist-to-turnover ratio and passed the ball in time. But some of Bryant's small details are still flawed, such as the strength of the pass, which is occasionally too big or too small. The angle of the pass can sometimes be too high or too low. Such a small flaw will hardly cause a mistake, but it will indeed reduce the speed and stability of a teammate's shot. This is inevitable, after all, Kobe Bryant has only played in the point guard position for a few months, and he still has a lot of areas to improve in the PG position compared to the mature old man on SG.

That's why he's averaging only 6.8 assists per game at the moment, and a big reason is that his current playmaking and passing skills need to be improved. He still has a lot of room for improvement. The current assist ability is just the ability of an average All-Star level guard, which is good, but not dominant.

When Bryant takes playmaking and passing to an all-time level, and adds his near-all-time leading scoring skills, it makes for an exaggerated guard. For the first time ever, no one is his template and he will redefine the role of defender.

It's like Larry Bird redefining small forward, Magic Johnson redefining point guard. Kobe Bryant in the future may also give the role of guard a different meaning.

At present, Larry Brown seems to be more satisfied with the tactical execution of his players. They allowed Bryant to score just six points in the second quarter, scoring two on a fast-break break and one on a foul free throw. That's perfectly acceptable for Larry Brown. This kind of score is harmless, it can't kill people, and the most feared score of every team coach is in a stalemate situation, and there is a star who stands up and unreasonably scores in a row, such a score can change the situation, and some sports scores will not have much impact on the field.

"Drag the game to the end and let Miller take over." Larry Brown finally made up his mind to deal with it this way and arrange the team's tactics. He believes in the 'Miller moment'. In his opinion, Miller's key score is no worse than that of any superstar, even Michael Jordan, and Larry Brown thinks Miller can match his key ball. Miller is known for his big heart, and he has countless consecutive points in key moments, unreasonable killing moments of the game. Even if the Pacers control Kobe Bryant now, they are still beaten on the court. Larry Brown thinks the team can keep biting the score, but it is impossible to overtake chances, and maintaining a stalemate as much as possible is the best option right now.

Meanwhile, outside the studio, Larry Bird dialed an old friend's phone.

"Yo~ Little bird, why do you want to call me today?" A soft, hearty voice came from the other end of the line.

"Little EJ, I'm commentating on the Lakers and Indiana game."

"Understood, looking at our Kobe Bryant's eyes?"

"Hah! Damn, I should have asked the team to sign him at all costs. But it's too late to say this, I want to ask you, did you teach him all your skills? Watching him play always makes me feel familiar, and even though there are a lot of differences in his style of play from you, it always makes me feel similar to you. Could it be that he is the illegitimate child of you and Michael? ”

"Shut up, old glass! Yes, I taught him something, but he obviously has his own ideas, you know? Sometimes I really think he's God, and his understanding of basketball is not what an 18-year-old kid should have, damn it, we were still competing for the NCAA championship when we were 18 years old, and it was not bad, but compared to Kobe, it was like a milky kid. ”

"Well, to be honest, I don't think his style of play is mature. It's not just his skills, but the most surprising thing about him is that he will judge what kind of attack he should take in an instant according to different situations and different defensive strategies, which is the most terrifying judgment ability. Larry Brown's several moves, he was able to find the hole in the first place. He doesn't feel like a player at all, but more like a coach on the pitch! It's like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to move, targeting different prey, or choosing to poison or choose to strangle. Always so calm, rational and at ease, I've never seen a player like this, and if I was at my peak and I had to deal with him, I didn't think I could have suppressed him 100 per cent. ”

"Indeed, he is such a game-changer, epoch-making player. I can't have itchy hands either, and I want to fight him at my peak. I hope he can lead basketball to the next level, just like the two of us. ”

"I'm looking forward to it, for many years, after Michael, it's Kobe Bryant. The future of MLB is his, Grant Hill? Anfernee Hardaway? They don't have a problem with their physical skills, but they always lack a spirit that is the fuel that drives basketball forward. ”

β€œLARRY! Come on in! The race is about to begin! Malfoy Albert panicked and finally found Bird in the corner outside the studio.

"Old man, we'll talk another day."

"Well, go for Larry."

Bryant opened his eyes, and the game entered the second half.

Players from both sides enter the field through the tunnel of players.

In the second half, the Lakers served, Kobe Bryant dribbled across the half, and it was still a double who instantly pulled up the early package.

"Whom? Bowen's three-pointer in the bottom corner is not consistent! Ben Wallace offense is too constipated! Campbell and Eddie Jones are still heavily guarded! Even if you pass the ball, you can't do anything about it! Larry Brown smiled on the sidelines.

However, Bryant didn't play as everyone expected, as he did at the end of the second quarter of the first half.

Slam the ball forward with one hand!

Jump up!

Drill through the gap between two defenders!

Catch the ball!

Hit the basket!

The defender reached out and tried to grab Kobe Bryant's clothes, but Kobe Bryant had already shaken him off several positions.

Burst into the basket and take three steps to collect the ball.

Rick Schmidt was still in a position with Campbell one moment ago, and the next moment he saw a player in the No. 8 purple and gold jersey leap up!

The body hit himself hard!

Lean forward! Smash the ball into the basket!

Ride buckle!

Kobe Bryant used one to connect two people at the beginning of the second half, and the shocking dunk made everyone stunned!

Rick Schmitz is 2.24 meters tall!

Kobe Bryant was bounced off by the reaction force and fell to the ground hard!

But the flame in his eyes seemed to ignite this stadium!
