It was the last minute of the first quarter, and the Lakers began to slowly catch up with the score because Wade of the Heat missed shots repeatedly. At this time, after scoring a goal, the No. 24 looked at James and said, "How long do you want to wait?" ”

"Do you think you still have a choice? LeBron. James. ”

James didn't speak, he looked at the number 24 and finally began to take the initiative to stand up, holding the ball and preparing to attack alone.

There's no way, it's all at this time, if you don't play again, it doesn't make sense, and the fans of the Heat team won't agree. After all, he is still the number one in the league, at least all these years, so the team can't open, Bosh and Wade are stuck, and he doesn't attack who will attack. This is what Kobe Bryant said before, there is no escape.

As the trump card core of the two teams, it has reached a stalemate, and there will be a battle between the two people.

At this time, that is, now, the two people are finally in the true sense of the word, and they are in the same position.

And it's all out, and it's all together.

"LeBron is going to single-handedly hold the ball, and now it's Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. Bryant stands in front of him to defend, can LeBron make this ball? LeBron was dribbling looking for an opportunity, looking for a chance, looking for a chance, LeBron acted, he kicked the ground and broke through! Broke through in the direction of the right! "The Heat's home commentator, Tony. Florence said that as James became stronger and stronger, his weight used to get heavier, so looking at his breakthrough now, there was hardly any drastic change of direction. This is because of excessive weight, so it is thankless to change direction so drastically, and the second is that there is no need for this at all. With a weight of 270+ pounds this season, he has reached the point where he is invincible on the outside, and at the moment, there are few people who can defend. The Spurs of the original time and space also "put two meters" in order to curb his breakthrough power.

However, this is clearly not in line with Kobe's defensive style.

Kobe Bryant's defense is hard-hitting, one-on-one, and he will not retreat at all for the ball carrier.

The whole process was high-pressure and tight, and the footsteps were crazy and pressing.

So the first time, James took advantage, mainly in terms of strength, because this season was one of the strongest seasons for James in terms of weight and strength. Even if Kobe Bryant recovers to the level of "Little Malone" back then, it is still worse than LeBron. James is a big cut. There is no need to shy away from this, Emperor Zhan's external strength level should be the strongest in history. Even Chicago's Michael. Jordan is certainly not his opponent either.

There's nothing to be ashamed of losing to James in this regard, any outside player.

Kobe Bryant is no exception.

But James was just about to accelerate the impact, when he found that the purple-gold No. 24 was close to him again, and this adjustment speed and stiffening time were simply short and scary! No way, this Kobe is actually a Kobe who has far surpassed his peak season defense. The original Kobe Bryant was only one of the top defenders in the history of the outside, but there was still a gap between him and the strongest column, but this Kobe Bryant did not exist. As I said, if Tang Qian hadn't been born this season, it would have been Kobe Bryant's acceptance. It's just because Tang Qian's appearance is too perverted, and the data improvement is too exaggerated compared to last season, so he "took away" this DPOY trophy. But I also want to talk about it, who can take the DPOY away from Tang Qian this season? In front of 21+ rebounds and 7+ blocks, who in history can say that he can take away Tang Qian's DPOY this season? Howard? Root. Wallace? Mutombo? Or even Olajuwon? Jordan? Rodman? It's impossible! The data is brutally crushed! Since there has been this award since 82, it is impossible for all the historical DPOY winners to get the DPOY trophy from the hands of Tang Qian this season! All of them! Neither! Not a chance at all! So Kobe Bryant is no exception! can really suppress Tang Qian, it is estimated that there is only Bill in history. Russell and Wirt. Chamberlain.

The rest of the people want to compete with this season's Tang Qian for DPOY? In a word, a very classic sentence can be summed up:

I'm not targeting you, I'm just saying that everyone here is spicy chicken.

From the beginning of this season, Tang Qian is qualified to say so.

Except for Russell and Chamberlain, the rest? Who do I care you are? And I grab the DPOY? Don't pee on yourself?

Is it more reliable to go on a date with Santa Claus?

Therefore, Kobe's defense this season is actually greatly underestimated, because next to him, there is a rebounding block 21+7+ Tang Qian, so his defensive energy is completely covered. And his own scoring numbers this season are too strong, so people's attention naturally shifts to other aspects.

In the future, when Kobe Bryant leaves the NBA, someone will dig up this season's data, and then find ......

This season's Kobe Bryant, the defense is actually strong to the extent of explosion, to say a very simple data, in the 2013-2014 season, Kobe. Bryant, in all games, as long as he defends the opponent, he can make the opponent have a significant decline in statistics, whether you are an outside star or not. Rarely, it is punctured again.

This suppression was even more pronounced in the playoffs, from the Mavericks' Monta. Ellis to Harden of the Rockets to Wade of the Heat, basically the opponents of these teams have been suppressed by him to a very miserable situation. Except for the Spurs, who are invincible to the team this season, which limits Bryant's biggest defensive advantage, the rest of the No. 2 players who like to play star ball and singles ball, who hasn't been put to the trouble by the No. 24 playoffs?

So on the 24th of this season, the defense has long reached an extremely strong level that he doesn't feel himself.

More than ten years of game experience, defensive experience + peak physical fitness + peak physical condition + peak weight strength and physical fitness, it is conceivable to what extent this Kobe Bryant's defense will be. Unless Jordan gets this opportunity in the last year of the Bulls, he will only get the 87-88 season, in fact, the defensive energy and ability are not as good as Kobe Bryant this season. Otherwise, why do you think it's called the full peak or the super peak season?

Normally, these things are separated, distributed across seasons of a player's career, for example, if you say that you are at the peak of your defensive experience, it is definitely not your peak of defensive fitness and physical condition. Are you at the peak of your defensive fitness? And certainly some of the rest are not there. Therefore, this kind of "Kobe" is a "player", in fact, a kind of "terminator" feeling. His existence was originally unreasonable.

That's why even Jordan, who won the DPOY that season, is not Kobe's opponent this season, unless it is also the "all-round peak or super peak Jordan" in this case, which is about the same.

No. 24's defensive toughness and defensive intensity surpassed that of LeBron. James has faced any outside player of this era.

Know what it means to defend high-pressure? Now what Kobe Bryant demonstrated is that no matter how James tries to push him, he can forcibly adjust his body in the next second, and then grab it back, otherwise the defensive position will miss. James can't open the defensive position, so his breakthrough is also very uncomfortable, when he was about to force a three-step layup, the basketball was cut by the 24, and then directly fast-break, passing to keep up with Nick. Young scores on a dunk.

Actually, Kobe Bryant's ball is a bit of a hitter, but this is the Finals. Stern has clearly explained that when it comes to 6vs24, try not to interfere with the referee, and let them solve the problem by themselves. This is also the drama of the real "supergiant showdown". is like the "black and white battle" he held up in one hand back then, if you look at the showdown highlights and video footage of that era, you will find that whenever two people prove a misplaced matchup, the NBA referees almost "let it go" and don't give the whistle very much.

In this way, it is also a kind of "relative fairness".

Since you are all "superstars" and "historical celebrities", then, let yourself solve the problem.

The referee and the whistle will not interfere too much.

This kind of confrontation is wonderful and exciting.

If there is always a whistle, then it is still a fart, and the confrontation and intensity are long gone.

So even if James complained to the referee a few times, he couldn't get any response.

Especially tonight's referee is still the famous whistle that has presided over NBA games for decades, he has experienced black and white hegemony, Jordan's career is complete, and he cares about you a LeBron. James?

Are you better than Jordan? Wait until you're better than Jordan.

Haven't you seen a game between labor and management?

At this point, Kobe Bryant adapts faster than James, and his psychological preparation is also better, to put it mildly, James faces the Finals team, defensive points and defense, there are few Kobe Bryant's who can compare. Even the Nets and Magic, which you look down upon, won the league's first defensive position during that time. And the Pistons and Green Army in those years are also known as the strongest defensive teams in NBA history. At the same time, Mutombo, Garnett, Ben. Wallace, Howard, this is also the strongest interior defender in the NBA over the years, how many DPOYs have combined? And when Kobe Bryant fought against them, these people were basically Nima at their peak! The team is also in peak form!

It's not that James' performance is overrated, but Kobe Bryant's Finals face defense is actually underrated.

Basically, the strongest defensive players and defensive teams in the last 20 years have been met by him at the peak.

So this also makes Kobe Bryant more able to bite and entangle on the defensive end, and more extreme hand-to-hand combat.

Because he saw that No. 24 was going to lead the defense again, James chose to let Wade dribble through the half, and he was ready to go to the front court to take the ball again to "preside over the overall situation". But this ball also made a classic GIF appear. On the Tianchao Sports Stage, now Zhang Li is explaining: "Wade is looking for someone after half the court, he is looking for James, James is going to go around the ball to catch the ball, well, James didn't come out at the first time, he and Kobe Bryant are entangled?" The two of them are very entangled fiercely! It's hard to imagine that No. 24 would be so pestering James! This ball and the year he entangled the Denver Nuggets Carmelo. Anthony is exactly the same! When the weight and strength are reduced by a lot, it is completely dependent on footwork and toughness to constantly consume the opponent in hand-to-hand combat and prevent the opponent from receiving the ball! This defense is so classic, I think it is worth learning from all the young defenders in China! ”

Indeed, this ball is very similar to the scene when Anthony received the ball when he defended it, the whole thing is hard fighting, and there is no intention to create any offensive fouls at all. Kobe Bryant relied on this and successfully made Anthony difficult to catch the ball and make a difficult shot, and then was blocked by Odom's hat who came to help defend behind him. What about this ball?

The same is true, it took James a lot of effort to get the basketball, and then he shot against extreme discomfort, extreme awkwardness, and then ...... Paul who was moved. Gasol slapped a big hat and flew out.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant hit a 2-point shot, and at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers fell behind by a lot of points, and suddenly only 1 point behind Miami. At 27-28, the game entered a temporary break.

From the end of the first quarter to most of the second quarter, Tang Qian had to rest off the court, which was also the Heat's best opportunity to attack the inside. But tonight, it's obviously a little different, because as soon as the second quarter came up, Kobe Bryant stood on LeBron again. In front of James. In this section, and even the whole court has him responsible for blocking James.

This also made the Heat fans in the audience boil, of course, not for Kobe Bryant, but for LeBron. James, cheer it on. Lakers fans on the Internet were very excited, and kept swiping the screen to leave messages, declaring that this is "the strongest defense of the strongest No. 24". The meteor shower finally said a phrase that is often mentioned by later generations:

Kobe Bryant is going to James! The Black Mamba is the Emperor!

James was a little annoyed because this quarter was supposed to be the time when he had better make consecutive kills and score to open up his form and feel. But on the 24th, he came up with a meaning of "biting" himself tonight. That's a bit excessive! Hey, don't you want data? You're defending me so much, you think your physical exertion isn't much?

Such a defense is of course a big physical drain for Kobe, but ...... That's what Kobe Bryant is going to do tonight, and he showed the determination and momentum of the half-time "clean sheet" Iverson tonight. He wants to completely entangle the engine and the leading general of the Heat team, and entangle them to death!

The Mamba spirit has never been just about the offensive side.

This Kobe later made a short film called Musecage, Chinese transliteration of Muse Pandora, which clearly stated Kobe's own views. Winning is something everyone likes, and liking winning is nothing, but you have to be clear about whether you really like to win. This was later elaborated in a short film called "Leonard's Basketball Paranoia" filmed by Kobe Bryant for Leonard: In the game, you scored 40 points + led the team to a big reversal + the final whistle kill, and everything seemed to be perfect? NO！ Because you're getting your opponent a 3040 as well, it's not perfect. So how is true perfection? It was for him to only score 20 points, 15 points, 10 points, or even 0 points! That's the real great contender! That's the great contender who stands above the average winner and wins!

It can be seen that how the No. 24 inherits and how to play, all of which he revealed himself, is to learn from the older generation of players and learn from Payton Jordan. Is this very different from the so-called winners, the so-called winners of the current alliance? You often say that you feel like the taste of the NBA has changed, what has changed? A key factor is here. The present victory is a simple victory, not the victory of the great contenders, the brutal destroyers!

Now it is enough to want to win, but before the beginning of the 21st century, the so-called winning, the so-called competition, and there was also this "dark mentality" at that time. Therefore, you will feel more beautiful, more enjoyable, and more full of competition, rather than the cold data now.

I want my opponent to bow down, I want to cast a shadow on my opponent, I want to rule him not only by the score of victory, but by body, mentally, by will, by everything! I'm going to win them all! I'm going to win everything! I'm going to destroy him on both the offensive and defensive ends, I'm going to make him doubt his life, I'm going to make him regret standing in front of me, and I'm going to make him regret playing basketball!!

It doesn't sound cruel, but that's what basketball players are missing the most these days.

That's the real contender! And now, Kobe Bryant is doing just that! Or that's what he did in this year's playoffs!

"Kobe Bryant and James are facing each other, crazy entanglement, crazy defense, crazy scramble!"

"Did Kobe just take James as his father-killer? I feel like he's going to bite his opponent with his teeth! ”

"Oh my God! Kobe Bryant is going to fall with James! This ball is so exciting! It's the best fighting defense I've ever seen in my commentary career! ”

The meteor shower is a big explosion of commentary tonight, and he keeps coming out of "golden sentences", and they are all from within, which makes people sound even more infectious. Of course, this is only for Lakers fans, while Heat fans and James fans are yelling online "What the hell commentary!" Lake Dogs! Branch dogs! Don Dog! "Garbage commentary! When I see him explaining, I'll mute it! "These balls are obviously fouls! Why doesn't the referee give the whistle? This must have been deliberate on the part of the Alliance! Shady! Kobe Bryant has a godfather Stern! ”

But in fact, who will pay attention to these words but themselves?

Can you scold others? If you mute people, you will lose your job? You James was also David. Stern has changed the "favorable rule" twice, who is the godfather? Legalize walking! Don't remember? There is also about to be introduced for James, the original plane is to limit Hibbert to limit the Pacers, this plane because of Adam. Sival hasn't come to power yet, so this rule, the "new vertical jump rule" hasn't been introduced yet, and the reintroduction is obviously to help James target ......

In this section, Kobe Bryant has a huge range of action for James's defense, which can already be described as crazy biting, and after playing in the NBA for so many years, No. 24 has long been familiar with the temptation and grasp of the change in the referee's scale.

Now that the trial is out, the referee will not care about the duel between him and James, so what else is there to say?

In the entire second quarter, Kobe Bryant let James only score 1 point, or 1 of 2 free throws, and in this game, James scored only 10 points in addition to 9 points in the first quarter. Of course, with such a historical supergiant like James's body and ability, Kobe's own consumption is also huge, and he only got a pitiful 4-point shot in this game.

At halftime, James couldn't help but ask the Lakers No. 24: "If you do this, you will not have the physical strength to attack, and your score will not look good, are you worth it?" Bryant! Kobe Bryant didn't have a smile when he heard this, and replied coldly: "My score is not good-looking, and so are you, and besides, I will only make you more ugly than me." ”

More ugly? He, is he crazy? Doesn't he have a little "business acumen"?

Do it! In the end, you can only lose both!!

James looked at No. 24 and said very uncalmly in his heart.

PS: These short movies are real, Xiao Zi has seen them separately, I recommend you can watch them when you have time, you will know how Kobe Bryant and the older generation of players understand the game and treat the game. Very beneficial.
