"Hello, Kendrick, I haven't seen you for a few minutes, do you miss me?" As soon as Tang Qian came on the field, he said to Perkins.

"You, you less nonsense! I'm not afraid of you! Perkins puffed out his chest and said.

After seeing Don sneak away, Ibaka approached and asked, "What's wrong?" Kendrick? Why do you look so bad? ”

"It's nothing, kid, don't take it lightly." Perkins replied.

The Lakers have the ball, and Sessions faces Westbrook, and there is almost no room to play.

Wei Shao's amazing momentum is very similar to Kobe Bryant when he was young.

In order not to make a mistake, as soon as half time passed, he passed the ball to Kobe. Bryant.

Seeing this, Tang Qian shook his head silently in his heart, because the Lakers didn't want him to do this when they chose him in the first place.

In fact, Kobe Bryant's ability to hold the ball and play alone has been weakened a lot this season compared to when he was young, and the efficiency of letting him frequently hold the ball and play alone will not be too good. But the Black Mamba doesn't recognize the word in the dictionary, so after receiving a pass from Sessions, he didn't say a word and began to single the defender, Sabo. Soflosa.

After two small tentative steps in a row, Bryant suddenly started on the back foot, and then, relying on his excellent sense of rhythm, he took a good position of half a body. Sabo. Sofrosa doesn't want to admit it like this, he is 84 years old, and he is not yet 28 years old, so his physical fitness is at his personal peak.

He was slightly taller than Kobe Bryant, and he stretched out his arms as if the latter pounced.

Beep~

Bryant's layup was interfered with and didn't score, but the referee still gave him two free throws.

While~

Brush~

Only 1 of 2 free throws, Kobe Bryant and the Thunder team, physical strength dropped particularly fast.

As a veteran who will be 34 years old in 4 months, the magic of the old man of time has finally begun to show in him.

96-88, the Lakers only scored 1 point in this round.

The Thunder attacked, and after Wei Shao broke through, he quickly distributed the ball, and the basketball passed to Kendrick. Perkins' hands.

Perkins just wanted to shoot, but as soon as he saw the yellow-skinned No. 29 sticking up, he inexplicably flinched, stopped shooting, and passed the basketball out. Tang Qian's eyes were quick, and with the blessing of the bronze agility card, he reached out with his right hand and touched it, destroying Perkins's pass.

The basketball was picked up by Ci Shiping, who passed it to Sessions, who advanced it to the court.

After halftime, Sessions didn't even have a basic desire to attack, so he passed the basketball to the Lakers' No. 24.

As soon as Kobe Bryant got the ball, the Lakers subconsciously pulled all of them away, providing plenty of space for the Black Mamba to play one by one.

To say that this habit was developed by Kobe Bryant's ability in the past, especially in the three seasons of 07-10, the Lakers basically played casually in the first three quarters, and Kobe took over the game in the last half of the quarter. I have to admit that in those years, this tactic was very effective, it was simple and rude, and no one was invincible. But this season, Kobe Bryant has lost the ability to combine offense and defense for 48 minutes, and it has become a luxury for him to kill from beginning to end as he did before 2010.

From this season onwards, the Black Mamba really needs a helper and needs someone to support him.

But it's a bit sad that the Lakers are up and down, and few people can see it.

Maybe Kobe Bryant himself ignored this matter.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Durant and Kobe have played against Kobe many times, so he also has a little bit of his own experience on how to defend Kobe. Before 2010, that Kobe, he basically had no problem, because in combination with sudden shooting, Kobe Bryant was the most extreme one after Jordan. If you defend tightly, he will break through, if you are loose, he will jump and shoot directly, Kobe Bryant before 2010, no one can prevent it, he can't shoot or not, it all depends on his own feel, and who will defend, it doesn't matter half a dime. But after 2010, Kobe, Durant found some defensive experience, due to Kobe's speed and explosiveness declined, his breakthrough threat was greatly reduced, so that he only had to cling to him, after all, in terms of height and arm span, the former still has an absolute advantage. Known as "Du Qichi", this name is not given for nothing.

In addition, Durant is not yet 24 years old, which is the age of explosive athleticism, so he came to defend Kobe Bryant and gave Kobe a great interference, at least in terms of shooting, Kobe Bryant is difficult to do as he wants.

Kobe vs Durant, this is exactly the drama promoted in this game, the first and second in the scoring list, who can finally become the scoring king of this season, the audience will wait and see.

Kobe Bryant is also the kind of person whose personality will not turn, if he is flexible, he will not continue to play singles at all, because whether it is physical fitness or age, Kobe Bryant will suffer against Durant, and he will not have an advantage. But Kobe Bryant has the blood of the old quantile flowing in his body, the so-called old quantile from Michael. Jordan started, as long as it was a one-on-one situation, there was no choice to turn around and escape.

As long as it's one-on-one, do it. You didn't negotiate!

This is Kobe Bryant's basketball philosophy, basketball persistence.

Durant also saw this, so he had no scruples and tried his best to defend the opponent.

Kobe Bryant habitually made a tentative step, and then instantly exerted his strength and broke through to the right, if it had been placed a few years ago, he would have passed Durant by half of his body, but now, he is closely followed by Durant. Seeing that the opponent was following and defending, Kobe Bryant immediately changed his technical moves, dribbled his left and right hands, handed the basketball to his left hand, and at the same time pushed his back, turned around and jumped up.

But the strength and amplitude of this lean are lacking, as the saying goes, the old man comes first with the old leg, Kobe Bryant even if he did platelet-rich plasma treatment in the summer, it can't withstand such a toss for more than 38 minutes. If it weren't for the fact that he was experienced and felt that the recline was not right, and immediately adjusted the shooting position, then there was a chance that this ball would have been attacked by Kevin. Durant's block.

Durant's height and arm span are indeed the strongest among outside players.

ABOUT 225CM~226CM, AND HIS HEIGHT WAS ALSO LIED, AND IN THE FUTURE POST-GAME INTERVIEW, HE HIMSELF REVEALED HIS HEIGHT. The original text is roughly as follows, in a regular season game "block lore" Chris. After Paul, Kevin. Durant blurted out in a moment of excitement: "I know he's going to shoot on his own, so I need to go and block him." You know, he's only 6 feet, and I have 6 feet 11 inches. ”

6 feet is 183CM, and 6 feet and 11 inches is 211CM, and the "scheming" Durant can be seen at a glance.

Coupled with Durant's excellent athletic talent, it is easy to be capped if you want to play technology in front of him.

The best way to deal with Durant is actually to play hard, push hard, and rely on his body to kill him, such as James. Because although Durant has excellent physical fitness and excellent athleticism, his thin weight has always been a defect. Not to mention the 215 pounds when he first entered the league, he is only 235 pounds now, which is 5 pounds away from his future peak weight. Why is it that Durant doesn't feel stronger at all when he has gained 20 pounds? This is because Durant's height has also been growing taller, initially he was only 6 feet 9 inches, but then he rose to 6 feet 10 inches, as for this season, he has risen to 6 feet 11 inches, but the NBA has always been more relaxed and lags behind for height and weight data, so the detailed body data of many stars has not been updated.

There are many similar situations like this, such as Ma Long's weight, the official website has always written that 250 pounds, only 113 kilograms? This is to talk about the rookie period, I believe, in the middle of the career, in the late career, how can it be this weight? Lighter than LeBron? That's absolutely impossible! When he was with the Lakers, Tang Qian remembered that he often confused Malone with O'Neal, and you said that his body size was only 250 pounds? What nonsense! I remember that there was a group photo of F4 back then, Ma Longya was stronger than O'Neal, and his shoulders were like city walls, and Tang Qian also joked that Ma Long may be the only athlete in the NBA whose deltoid muscles are bigger than his head. At the end of his career, he definitely weighed more than 130+ kilograms! It can be called the peak version of LeBron's 1.5x magnified monster!

This is just an example, Kevin. Durant is one of them, and Tang Qian even sometimes feels that he is "hunched over" just to hide his true height.

And what about Kobe? KOBE BRYANT'S ARM SPAN IS ONLY 205CM, AND THE STANDING TOUCH HEIGHT IS ONLY 269CM, WELL, IN FACT, THE STANDING TOUCH HEIGHT OF 269CM IS ALREADY THE TOP OF THE 2 POSITION, EVEN IF MICHAEL. Jordan is that number. But who is he facing? It's Kevin. DURANT, A MONSTER WITH AN ARM SPAN OF 225CM AND A STANDING TOUCH HEIGHT OF 279CM. So for the first time, Bryant felt the pressure on the offensive end, especially after his bounce ability declined, and he only relied on raising the arc of his shot to avoid the opponent's block.

Duang~

The shot hit the iron.

Bryant shouted in frustration, "Rebound! ”

The basketball bounced to the area that Perkins was responsible for, but Tang Qian cracked the card position again, easily occupied the front of him, and won this offensive rebound. Then, Tang Qian used his current super physical agility to pull up and dunk as soon as he landed, and before Ibaka could turn around, he ate Tang Qian's heavy dunk with both hands.

Beep~

The referee blows the whistle, 2 points are valid, and one penalty is added.

96-90, Duang~, Tang Qian's free throw failed, and Ibaka protected the defensive rebound.

Wei Shao went straight in and used his super explosive power to make a successful layup under the Lakers' basket.

At 98-90, the Lakers trailed by eight points.

Sessions turned into Fisher again, and handed the ball directly to Kobe Bryant after half time, allowing Kobe Bryant, who had a serious physical decline, to continue to single Kevin. Durant.

To be honest, this was indeed the Lakers' regular tactic in the past, and the first three and a half quarters played the whole team, and the remaining 5 minutes were handed over to the Black Mamba to deal with on his own. But this set, this year, is obviously not very good, for no other reason, Kobe's physical fitness can't support it. Before the age of 32, Kobe Bryant has always been a physical monster, even if I can't kill you in the first 43 minutes, I can explode in the last 5 minutes and blow you up with super physical strength. Because ordinary superstars and even supergiants do not have the bottomless physical strength of Kobe Bryant as a guarantee. But now, the Black Mamba feels tired, and he has to insist on attacking and defending for 38 minutes, and his body is a little unbearable.

This is a turning point for a supergiant, if you adjust well, you can continue to maintain the supergiant halo for two or three years, but if you don't adjust well, you will definitely plummet, or even fall and sink directly, it is not impossible.

Of course, the key to this adjustment is mentality.

See if you can accept this fact, whether you can accept this change.

According to Tang Qian's memory, Kobe Bryant has obviously not adjusted his mentality this year.

The fierce battle against the Thunder in the playoffs is proof of this.

This year, in singles with the ball, Kobe Bryant is still the Kobe who "put away your damn blocking".

The real change is in the offseason, next season.

On the field, Kobe Bryant continued to fight Durant fiercely, and it continued.

Bryant also discovered his physical problems, so he slammed the ball for a while and immediately turned to a high back. After Durant saw Kobe's change of moves, he quickly clung to it, as the former offensive king of the league, Kobe's offensive means can be called a kaleidoscope. Anyone who is careless will be tricked and taught by Kobe to be a man.

Why are there so many pseudo-fans of Kobe Bryant?

It's still mostly focused on the visual pseudo-fans.

The reason is very simple, Kobe Bryant's playing moves are good-looking, his technique is delicate, and the connection is smooth.

For example, in the current confrontation with Durant, Kobe Bryant held the ball with his left hand, hit 2 opponents twice with his back, and then shook his right shoulder, striding out with a non-central axis foot, as if making a turning motion. Durant also reacted quickly, and did not eat Kobe's feint, and accurately judged it. However, Kobe's action was not over, seeing that Durant did not eat this move, he immediately pulled back the non-central axis foot, and then made a left breakthrough action, and half a second later, dribbled back and stepped back, pulled up and jumped up.

This action was done very smoothly, but Tang Qian still saw the shortcomings, because if it was replaced by Kobe Bryant before the age of 32, then the final action would not be a pull-out jumper, but a pull-back jumper. Although it is only two words missing, the effect is completely different. For example, this shot was still interfered with by Durant, and the shooting action was slightly accelerated by three points.

The triple decline in action rate, athleticism, and physical fitness has made Kobe's power on the offensive end have dropped by several percent.

But Tang Qian knew how to make up for this problem.

"Grab the rebound!"

The ball bounced a little wide, Ibaka originally wanted to jam Tang Qian and let Durant get the rebound, but he was too careless, Tang Qian's current physical agility was far beyond his imagination. Before he could get into position, Tang Qian flashed his position, and then grabbed in front of Durant and flew the rebound.

The rebound was snatched by Gasol, and taking advantage of the Thunder's uneven lineup, he immediately strode out to the basket, and the basketball hollowed into the net, 98-92.

"Ibaka, Perkins, all protect the rebound!" Wei Shao was a little dissatisfied with this situation, and turned his head to the two inside lines of the team and said.

This Oriental kid is so agile! Not at all like a big center over 7 feet!

But it doesn't help me!

Sergi. Ibaka Road.

Westbrook hit an iron shot, and the rebound was picked up by Tang Qian and passed to Ramon. Sessions. After Sessions dribbled past half court, he handed the basketball to Kobe Bryant and ran to the side to "be a spectator."

This situation, look at Mike. Brown was speechless in his heart, because he had just told Sessions to take the initiative to attack, but now it seems that Sessions is in his right ear and out of his left ear.

But Mike. Brown didn't think about him it was difficult for Ramon. Sessions, looking at Sessions' previous resume, he started seven of his 17 games in his first season, 39 of his 79 games in his second season, one of his 82 starts in his third season, 38 of his 81 games in his fourth season and four of his first 41 games this season. In total, there are 300 regular season starts, and only 89 games are started, and the starting probability is less than 30%. This means that 70% of his career has been spent on the bench. Since he is playing as a substitute, then his data is obtained in the face of the bench lineup, and suddenly let him start to harden the main point guard, or Russell. Westbrook, his pressure, can be described as a mountain.

What kind of character is Wei Shao? The Lord, All-Star, and All-Team winner of the All-Round Second Team who averaged nearly 24+5+5 per game this season, wants to strangle a Ramon. Sessions, it's easier than drinking water.

In front of Wei Shao's momentum, Ramon. Sessions simply couldn't afford to attack on the initiative.

So I can only hand over the basketball to Kobe Bryant and become an "old fish" myself.

It's Kobe Bryant VS Durant again.

At this time, Kobe's breath was already a little uneven, but now that his teammates have pulled away, he has no possibility of backing down.

As soon as the heart is ruthless, you have to continue to hold the ball and single Kevin. Durant.

But at this time, a voice suddenly appeared on Kobe's right hand and said:

“GO！ Go from my side! ”

PS: Today's Cavaliers won a big victory, there is no way, there are two main players missing, the Warriors can resist to this extent, it is good to see if Green comes back in the next game, will the inside rotation return to normal. Otherwise, James and Irving would break through, it would be too easy. (To be continued.) )
