I said it a long time ago, the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings" are actually not so terrible! - Mavericks owner Cuban.
The atmosphere of the entire Lakers team has become more and more gloomy, and even during training, there are few smiles to be seen.
Becoming a laughing stock of history, this kind of thing, no one really wants to take the initiative to accept.
But...... Not everyone has the determination to change.
With a 15-21 record, it was like a heavy boulder that weighed the head of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Los Angeles is in complete darkness.
Even some extreme fans have given up on this season.
On January 13, US time, the Los Angeles Lakers played at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Prior to this game, Bryant seemed to be feeling a little unwell, but he rejected Gary. Viti's rotation suggests that he stick to the game. Kobe Bryant didn't say a word in the entire locker room and warm-up, but Tang Qian saw a faint and violent light in this man's eyes.
It's like a poisonous snake that was hit seven inches, but it didn't kill you on the spot.
Due to the "Olympic bet" incident between Kobe Bryant and Irving, the two men naturally became the focus of this game.
Irving is still so confident, and said to the interview media that he is not afraid of Kobe, he is definitely capable of beating Kobe and winning tonight's game. Don't look at the "star Cormi" behind Irving, but now, he is still a conceited young man, with his eyes above the top, thinking that Kobe Bryant should have abdicated a long time ago.
But after the reporter told Kobe Bryant about this passage, the No. 24 of the Lakers was expressionless, and only slowly spit out after a while: "He can't win, I promise, he can't win." The meaning of this sentence is obviously twofold, one is that Irving can't win against him, and the other is that the Cavaliers can't win against the Lakers.
Of course, the reporters liked this kind of scene the most, and immediately wrote about it and began to use their mobile phones to start tweeting.
Pre-game publicity, pre-game rendering, is a major feature of the NBA game, as if this is not just a basketball game.
It's a Hollywood blockbuster.
"Hot~ I'll pass you more in this game." Steve. Nash whispered to the Lakers' No. 29 before he got the ball: "Don't hesitate when you get the ball, as long as you have the opportunity, go all out to attack the basket, understand?" Tang Qian was stunned when he heard this, but still nodded.
The Lakers' current offensive mode is too simple.
In addition to the simplest passing and cutting cooperation, only the double cooperation of Nash + Kobe Bryant remains, and the rest of the time is almost all fought separately and eats personal ability.
You say the combination of Gasol and Kobe? No, no, no, this Lakers team is no longer the Lakers of the two-game championship period. Gasol in Mike. In D'Antoni's tactical system, he is a big man who can shoot in the open position. That's all. So even if Bryant wants to cooperate with the Spaniards, he doesn't have this opportunity.
Nash made the decision to increase the Lakers' offensive diversity.
Originally, this tactic was supposed to belong to Dwight. Howard + Steve. Nash's, it's a pity that "Warcraft" is too narcissistic, and I always feel that the league's No. 1 center should hold the ball and play in the low post, instead of doing these "out of line" blocking and dismantling, and cutting and running in the air.
As soon as the game began, Kobe Bryant set his sights on Kyrie. Irving, but this quarter Irving feels amazing, how to shoot, so even though Kobe Bryant's defense is already in place, he was still shot 3 by the opponent, including a three-pointer, with a 100% shooting rate, and got 7 points. Kobe Bryant was annoyed, since the defensive end can't control you in this quarter, then on the scoring end, he can't lose anymore.
Therefore, a wave of 12 points and 5 assists in a single quarter directly suppressed Kyrie on the opposite side of the data side. Irving.
Tang Qian played 3 minutes and 46 seconds in this quarter, and got 2 rebounds and 1 block.
At the end of the quarter, the Lakers went into the second quarter with a 37-20 lead and a 17-point lead.
The first half of the second quarter turned into Nash's show time, because this time was regular bench time, so both sides withdrew most of their main forces. On the Lakers' side, there is only one Steve. Nash led the team on the field. The Cavaliers are more behind than the score, so the star Kyrie. Owen didn't end up either.
Owen was born in '92, so this season is just 20 years old, young and energetic, and it doesn't hurt to stay on the court for a while longer. The man who saw himself defending himself turned into Steve. Nash, Irving did not hesitate to start a series of singles, shooting 2 of 3 in the first 3 minutes, and the shooting percentage was quite good. But Steve. Who is Nash? He's not the kind of guy who likes to fight, as a traditional No. 1 position, his primary goal is to connect the team and organize the team. In a sense, he and Carey. Owen's No. 1 position is completely different.
Mike. What did D'Antoni keep him on the pitch for? The answer will be revealed right away.
Tang Qian cut into a dunk and a layup, and Meeks hit a 3-pointer to offset Kyrie immediately. Owen's Attack Score. And the initiator is none other than Steve. Nash, his passing is like a high-tech missile, no matter what direction the receiver is in, as long as there is an empty space in front of him, then he will definitely send the basketball to his hand as soon as possible.
Until the second half of the second quarter, after the Lakers' main players gradually returned to the court, the score difference between the two teams did not change much. As for the consumption of the lineup, it is undoubtedly the opposite Cleveland Cavaliers, which is more intense.
At the end of the quarter, the Lakers returned to the locker room 20-25 and 57-45 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Irving obviously stepped up his individual offense, hoping to turn around the Cavaliers' disadvantage through his individual ability. However, Kobe Bryant was like an enraged poisonous snake, like kraft candy, sticking to him. No matter how he changed direction or moved, he couldn't get rid of it completely. So in the end, he had no choice but to shoot in a stop.
In the first half, he scored a lot, mainly because of the outside feeling, but he couldn't continue this feeling to the second half, "dang~", the shot was iron. In fact, Irving is a player with strong pull-up jump shooting ability, shooting more than 44% of his mid-range and long-range 2-pointers this season. That's already a strong number. It's a pity that his height is too short, and his arm span is not outstanding, once he is glued by a tall guard like Kobe, then his shooting is bound to be greatly disturbed and affected.
Moreover, this game is not an ordinary game, and many people are paying attention to Irving and the current Kobe Bryant after the "Olympic betting" incident, who is stronger. Owen naturally felt that he was more awesome. It's forced, but how could Kobe Bryant ever be weak? Therefore, as the competition deepens, the competition between the two is not just about skills, but also about the role of the mental level, which gradually becomes important. And on the mental level of competing with Kobe, where will the young Irving be an opponent? was instantly suppressed by the aura of the black mamba. Heads-up balls and fighting balloons, the most important thing is spirit and momentum, if you are overwhelmed by the opponent, then a body of strength, I'm afraid there are no five or six out of ten.
The Lakers' No. 24 is the type of player who can fight you to the death, and his spirit will not fluctuate at all during this period.
Damn, I don't believe I can't get past you!
Owen was annoyed when he saw his repeated singles failures, after all, he had successfully broken through Kobe Bryant several times in the Olympic practice matches, so he thought it was just that he didn't play well. But what about the facts? After all, the practice game is just a practice game, and Kobe's level of dedication is far from being as concentrated as the official game, so it gives Owen the illusion that he is invincible.
After all, Kobe Bryant is the winner of 9 times of one defense, and has faced the strongest breakthrough No. 1 position. Owen can't even see enough. Although the former is no longer at his peak, his physical fitness and physical fitness are in a slippery slope, but as the top wing of the 96 golden generation, he also has his own dignity.
Owen waved his hand and made a move to pull away from the singles.
At this time, the whole audience was boiling, and the audience stood up, just to witness Carey. Owen defeats the footsteps of the kings of the old era.
Bryant didn't flinch at all, straight forward, near the top arc, and Kyrie. Owen formed an absolute one-on-one situation.
The players on both sides consciously pulled away, because whoever wants to go over to help at this time is stupid.
At this moment, Owen only had Kobe in his eyes, and Kobe Bryant only had Owen in his eyes.
Kobe's defensive posture is obviously different from before, the whole body is pressed very low, and even leans forward slightly, his eyes are like eagle falcons, his hands are bent, and he looks full of aggression. This is Kobe's defensive style at his peak, not passive, but active. This set and Michael. Jordan is the same, known as an offensive wing defender.
It's just that Kobe Bryant has been getting older in recent years, so this defensive posture has gradually been reined in.
And tonight, he showed it again.
Owen is really confident, because he has been singled out by Kobe Bryant this season, but he still has an expression of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world". This is the difference in the mentality of the subordinate and the superior, the former is a challenger anyway, it doesn't matter if it fails, everyone doesn't count too much. What about the latter? If you win, you should, and if you lose, you will be magnified a hundredfold.
So after many NBA stars become famous, they are almost not very obsessed with going head-to-head with rookie rookies, which is the reason.
It's a completely loss-making deal, and whether you win or not, it won't do you much good.
But there is still a group of people in the history of the NBA, they are paranoid, in their own field of expertise, even if the status is high, they are not afraid of challenges, and they do not refuse to come. Jordan and Kobe Bryant are among the best, the latter is of course inferior to Qiao Shen in personal strength, but his mental paranoia is especially superior.
Therefore, at this moment, the Lakers' No. 24 seemed to have become No. 8, and the ability to block the outside line suddenly improved.
Owen tried his best, but in the end, he still couldn't get past the other party, but was ended by the old mamba with a big blood cap.
This time, Owen was completely defeated in a single challenge that attracted the attention of the audience.
Since then, he has really understood what is called Black Mamba and what is called Kobe. Bryant.
Throughout the second half, Irving hit just two of nine shots, a 22.2 percent shooting percentage.
Because the core of the team was completely blocked, the suspense of this game was completely lost, and in the end, 113-93, the Lakers won by 20 points. Bryant scored a game-high 23 points and shot over 64% from the field, which is definitely efficient. Howard was also in second-year Tristan. Thompson got the standard interior star data of 20+10. Nash was 10++10+ again, and Tang Qian also got good statistics of 13 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Ke Mike. D'Antoni still shook his head slightly at Howard's performance, because Howard's number of high-post blocks in this game was very few, and most of the points came through low-post singles. Tristan in the second grade. Thompson was originally an average starter, and his height and weight were at a great disadvantage against Howard. So Howard just eats him, there is no problem at all, the body is less than 230 pounds, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble to "Warcraft" at all.
But there are so many strong teams in the NBA, what if you run into a defensive strong interior line? It's really not a good thing that "Warcraft" is so obsessed with low-post singles. Because as far as Mike. D'Anthony, it seems, Howard is not the material to be a low-post killer at all.
But after all, it won, Mike. D'Antoni didn't have much to say.
In the next game, the Lakers played against the Milwaukee Bucks, and Kobe Bryant continued his strong defensive performance in the previous game, directly defending super rookie Brandon. Jennings shot 4-of-14 from the field, shooting 28.6 percent, and in addition to assists and rebounds, he only had one assist. It can be said that Mike. D'Antoni's tactic can be regarded as a success, because as long as Kobe Bryant defends seriously, he is still the top outside defender in the league. Especially with the ball in defense, the fire is still there, and the sword is not old. Dwight. Howard also scored the same 31 points as Kobe Bryant, and the Bucks' Larry Brown. Sanders and Eisen. Ilyasova simply couldn't stop the "monster" from wreaking havoc on the Bucks' interior. and Tristan of the Cavaliers. Thompson is the same, they are all too light, with a tonnage of about 230 pounds, they can't stop Howard who weighs 280+ at all. And they are not the kind of interior line with particularly strong physical fitness, so it is inevitable that they will be ravaged by Howard.
Seeing that the Lakers have won two consecutive wins, Lakers fans are naturally happy, after all, the data of Kobe Bryant and Howard in these two games are good, and people fantasize that it may be the Lakers' No. 24 and No. 12, and they are starting to call. In fact? That's not the case at all.
Bryant and Howard are in direct contact, and there are not many games in these two games, except for a few empty catches, there are no wonderful performances that echo each other. This is a situation that fans can't see clearly, as the head coach of the Lakers, Mike. And how could D'Antoni not see clearly? But still like the last game, the Lakers won, so he didn't have much to say.
Practice after the game.
"Hot~No, no, no~ This ball, you should go down faster~ If you slow down for a second, the effect will be far worse~"
"When you cut in the air, you also do fake actions, look at this video of Amare, how he does it~"
"Decent! Decisive! okay? The most taboo thing to do in the air cut and block and dismantle is to hesitate, you must remember! ”
"You're going too soon! I'm not quite over yet! Again! ”
"It's too late again! This will slow down your attack! Again! ”
"It's almost time to block and dismantle, but you're still too hesitant to do it~ Why was Amare able to average nearly 30+10 per game in the playoffs in the 04-05 season? Momentum! You have to be aggressive! As an athletic big man, you have to shred the opponent's basket when you get the ball! Do you understand? Scald?! Get some momentum! Be ruthless! ”
"Yes, yes, that's it, a little more ferocious! A little more ferocious! Let the opponent see that after you dunk down, subconsciously don't dare to block directly! ”
Recently, Tang Qian has been arrested because of Steve. Nash's hands-on training, the whole person's ability to cut without the ball and block and dismantle can be called leaps and bounds. Originally, many points that I couldn't understand by watching the video were solved by Nash. Worthy of being and Amare. Stoudemire has cooperated with the No. 1 position for many years, and his understanding of air cutting and blocking is far beyond Tang Qian's imagination.
And the speed of his absorption and progress also made Steve. Nash nodded secretly.
