The top arc is one-on-one, which is one of the most common and classic matchups in the NBA. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

What's more, it was the boss of both sides who went into battle in person.

Kobe Bryant lost weight again this season in order to maintain his body's competitive performance, and from this weight maintenance aspect, he and Michael. Jordan, the path is completely opposite. Why? Who doesn't know that athleticism and speed are bound to decline when you get older, so gaining weight and using strength to fight for a counterposition advantage is also a disguised compensation. How did Kobe Bryant go the other way? Did he deliberately want to be different from Jordan?

Of course not, just because ...... His physical gifts are not enough to continue to add weight at this age.

This is Jordan's advantage, but also Kobe's disadvantage, talent, no matter how hard the latter tries, there is no way to make up for it.

In fact, when Jordan was young, he was much lighter than Kobe, and Jordan really gained weight after the age of 30, and even after the three consecutive championships. This can be seen from the physical test when he first joined the league, Jordan was 84KG in his rookie period, and Kobe Bryant exceeded this number in his rookie period, close to 90KG. Maybe you don't believe it, but this is the official physical test data that can be checked, and Jordan joined the NBA, has already gone to college, and Kobe Bryant is still a high school student. So in the early stage, it has always been Kobe Bryant who maintained a leading position in tonnage. Take a look at Jordan's royal personal trainer, Tim. Grover's words, when Kobe Bryant found him in '08, he was gaining weight every year. So at least before the championship, Kobe's overall weight level was still rising gently. Although it is not as good as his peak "Little Polon" period, he is also in the No. 2 position, which is strong enough for his physique.

But unfortunately, with the increase in age, the excessive weight directly made Kobe's knees unable to support it in the first place.

This is also a late watershed for him and Jordan, knowing that back hitting and low post, power and its tonnage, are all primary factors. After Jordan turned 30, he continued to improve, and even in his last season, his weight once reached a career maximum. As for Kobe, within a few years after the age of 30, he can only reduce the burden on his knees by losing weight, so as to maintain the ability to withstand the game.

The gap in physical hard talent is clear at a glance.

In fact, veterans will choose to lose weight in the end to maintain their competitive condition and maintain the tight schedule of the NBA.

Only Jordan, he is different, his body does not seem to be affected by this aspect at all, not only does not need to be reduced, but can continue to increase, so that his strength advantage in the No. 2 position can reach the maximum in his career.

The reputation of the god of basketball is really suitable for him.

From skill to mental will, from mental will to physical primordial capital, he is almost unique in the history of basketball.

So Kobe Bryant is far behind Jordan from the starting point.

Some people you can catch up and even surpass through acquired efforts, but some people ...... Say something cruel.

You'll never be able to catch up.

Because when a person whose original talent is far beyond you is still working as hard as you, your chase is basically doomed from the beginning. It's not that you don't work hard, it's just that other people's capital is too strong.

Weight loss for Kobe Bryant at this stage, there are pros and cons, needless to say, the above is very clear, but what are the disadvantages...... It also affects Kobe's offensive and defensive ends.

The attacks are mainly low posts and back hits, and the power is not as good as the peak.

Defense is now.

If Kobe Bryant is at the peak of his weight and strength, then he can rely on pressing defense and constantly squeezing Curry's dribbling space and offensive space, so as to occupy a huge initiative. The so-called offensive defense, that's what it means. And now, Bryant has only weighed around 200 pounds after a full season.

This is a very serious matter.

You must know that at the peak of Kobe, his weight once reached 107KG, that is, about 235 pounds, and 10 years ago, it was between 98KG~100KG, which was extremely stable. But in order to get more and more brittle knees, Kobe Bryant lost a lot of weight at the beginning of the season, and now he has fallen to the low point of his career. Suffice it to say, except during his rookie years, Bryant's weight never fell below 200 pounds. But before today's game, Gary. Vietti took Bryant over the scales and was left with only 199.7 pounds. For the first time since the beginning of the new century, it has fallen below the 200-pound mark.

The smaller the strength, the lighter the tonnage, the more likely it is to be injured in breakthroughs and confrontations, and it can quickly gain weight, and Kobe's knee can't bear it. So Gary. Wetti kept suggesting that in order for Kobe to reduce playing time, it is best not to exceed 35+ per game average. How do you know that people are not as good as heaven, but at the end of the season, the Lakers fell into an extremely tragic "steal eight". Kobe Bryant, not to mention averaging 35+ appearances per game, can be less than 40+, all thank God.

Recently, after consecutive 44+, 45+, and even playing the whole game, Kobe's body has fallen into extreme fatigue, which is not unusual.

And this kind of super-strength overdraft, even if No. 24 can bear it mentally, his physical end is not very good.

Getting smaller and smaller is a typical "red light" signal, but now it's ...... Who can get Kobe Bryant?

Who would dare to let Kobe Bryant down?

Not to mention, the Los Angeles Lakers, who rely on him more this season than any before.

The loss of weight, strength, and fitness made Bryant a little bit of a loss of the advantage of pressing defense against the 185-pound Curry. And the super pressing defense has always been Kobe's defensive label before, the second person after Jordan.

Old, this is really a cruel and helpless proposition in competitive sports.

Curry bumped Kobe Bryant with his body, and then took advantage of the gap created by the collision to force a three-point shot.

Kobe Bryant tried his best to jump and block, he thought that if he was in full energy, then the ball would definitely be blocked directly, but for now, ...... But let the opponent (@#¥%&*) shoot his hand, half a beat slower.

Damn it!

With a "brush", it penetrated the center of the Lakers' basket, and Curry scored again.

His state tonight is also too good to be terrible, otherwise how did he get more than 60% of the hits? In terms of how rarely he hits the interior and rarely kills the basket, it's incredible that he can achieve this kind of shooting percentage.

At 101-94, the score difference was opened again.

After Curry scored, he made his trademark move, spit out half of the braces, and then pretended to force his face to fall back to the defense the whole time.

But unlike a few seasons later, the current Kobe Bryant did not have a pleasant face at all, nor did he pat the opponent's ass as a gesture of friendship, he just had a cold gaze, and then his eyes were as cold as a sword. That's what it feels like...... I'll bite you to death.

You wait.

The Lakers' offensive round, since Thompson's 6 fouls, came off the bench with Jarrett . Jack, he's one of the stronger 1 outside players. AT 191CM, HE IS ALMOST 15 POUNDS HEAVIER THAN THE SAME CURRY. At 29 years old this season, it happens to be the golden age of basketball players. Kobe Bryant is now going to play with him in the low post, eat power, and don't take too much advantage, so ...... As soon as Kobe Bryant's rhythm moved, he chose to break through.

After all, throughout the game, his shooting felt not very good, and he still broke through to kill, which was relatively safe and had a high success rate.

Sure enough, Jarret. Although Jack is very strong, his concentration and lateral movement on the defensive end have always been a big problem, so this ball, he was easily broken through by Kobe Bryant's rhythm. The rhythm change is also the most used method of changing direction after the 24th is older. Although he can't do the cool crossover of his youth, it can be considered very difficult, because Kobe Bryant can use his years of experience on the court to tear apart the defense unhurriedly.

Another strong physical contact, and then a reluctance to make a layup.

The Warriors' interior defense is very clean, and they have always jumped straight up and down, and there is no violation of the arm, so the referee did not give Kobe Bryant another whistle. But fortunately, Bryant still forced his way into the air and scored this goal.

The moment he landed, Kobe Bryant's face seemed to move, but he was soon forcibly hidden.

The highest "pain valve" in the whole league is definitely not just talking.

At 101-96, the Lakers were still 5 points behind their opponents.

There are only six minutes left in the game.

And as time continued to decrease, Tang Qian's heart became tighter and tighter.

He tried to get Kobe Bryant to rest immediately, but No. 24 didn't turn his head when he heard the words, so he ran away alone.

Seeing this, Tang Qian knew that unless he knocked him out, this man would definitely not go to rest.

Maybe...... Maybe history has changed, hasn't it?

Maybe...... It's just that I'm thinking too much!

Tang Qian had no choice, so he could only comfort himself like this.

The Warriors called a timeout.

"Damn it! How to defend! He's so tired, and you're still easily broken through by him? Don't you want to stay in the Bay Area anymore? Yes? Jarrett! Curry was very annoyed because he didn't want to lose because of this game, and he made up his mind to take it. So for Jarret. Jack's defensive attitude, "cute baby" is quite dissatisfied.

Jarret. Jack is not a "loyal" player in the first place, he has played in the NBA until now, and he has changed 5 teams in 8 years, so he has long been used to which city he stays in, and he doesn't care at all. Besides, his goal of playing in the NBA is very simple, that is, to make money and get rich, so he usually plays extremely beautifully and eye-catching offensively, but there is no statistical defensive end, so he is not so focused and not so dedicated.

After all, for his position, rebounds and blocks are basically unavailable, and the only steal data, he has never been particularly good because of his weight. So compared to an offense that can bring a big contract, Jarret. Jack has always been on the defensive end, not very enthusiastic, not very committed.

This is not a big mistake, signing him, the Warriors management and coaching staff, just like his bench offensive ability, can be a wave when the main team is off the court. If you can complete this aspect, you are already very satisfied. As for the defensive end, it's best to work harder and put in more effort, otherwise it won't hurt.

No one is optimistic about his defense anyway.

Jarret. The Jack Alliance has been in the league for seven or eight years, why don't you understand this truth? Therefore, it is simply "not for merit but for no fault" on the defensive end, save physical energy, and then play fully on the offensive end. This is understandable for ordinary role players and bench players, and if you really love basketball to the bone like Kobe, you can't count a few in the whole league.

The management and coaching staff also know it, so only Jarrett is required. Jack just needs to do what he has to do.

Curry was suddenly so angry, Jarrett . Jack doesn't care, anyway, for him, wherever he plays, it's the same.

That's right.

As long as someone is willing to pay, it's OK.

As for whether he will be with the Golden State Warriors or the Los Angeles Lakers next season, he doesn't care at all.

So I didn't bother to argue with Curry's statement, I just lowered my head and listened.

"Stephen, don't be angry, Jarret's opponent is Kobe, but Black Mamba, he can't defend, it's normal, don't be too demanding." Warriors head coach Mark Murphy. Jackson came out to play the round, and when he saw that Curry wanted to talk about it again, the former directly made tactical adjustments, saying: "Later, the game will be played later, and Harrison will be used on the defensive end. Barnes went to defend Kobe, Harrison is young, has the advantage of height and athleticism, and he should be able to solve the team's defensive problems relatively well. ”

"I just don't know if Harrison is willing to accept this drudgery." Mark. Jackson used a moment of agitation.

And Harrison. Barnes is a typical young player, so he didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement.

This makes Mark. Jackson nodded in satisfaction, then spoke to Stephen. Curry said: "Stephen, what do you think of this tactical arrangement? Curry looked at Harrison and nodded: "It's better than him, I hope I can limit Kobe's play!" ”

"Stephen, trust me, I'm going to give it my all!" Harrison. Barnes looked wary.

"Okay, let's briefly lay out the next tactics, and ...... this way"

On the Lakers' side, there was a sound of wheezing and drinking, no way, they were too tired.

The main one is No. 24 Kobe. Bryant, his whole body is now as if he was fished out of the water, his whole body is soaked, even if he sits on the chair, he still can't stop the sweat glands all over his body, sweating wildly. At this time, there is no more tactics to talk about, Mike. D'Antoni can only say some "unnutritious" words of encouragement, hoping that it can play a modest role.

"Bryant, ...... you" Before Tang Qian finished speaking, Kobe Bryant raised his head and said with emotionless eyes: "I want to continue to play." There was no room for negotiation at all in this sentence, and Tang Qian was completely helpless all of a sudden.

Mike. Before D'Antoni came on the court, he couldn't help but ask Kobe Bryant, saying, "Bryant, do you feel like you can hold on?" If you're really tired...... "I'm fine, there's 5 minutes left, we've got to win!" After Kobe Bryant said this, he threw away the sweat-absorbing towel on his head and went straight to the court.

There was no hesitation at all.

But after the counterpoint on the field changed, Tang Qian's whole person was stunned.
