Chapter 215: One-on-one with Kobe
"At halftime, let's see what Byron Scott comes up with!" Zhang said with a smile.
"Yes, the current score on the court is 67:45, the Lakers are far behind, and the Suns replaced Li Mojie in the middle of the second quarter and replaced it with Gerard Green, otherwise maybe the Lakers would have been beaten in the second quarter!" Teacher Yang Yi nodded and said.
What can Byron Scott do, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, not to mention that he is not the "good woman", his coaching level is not even the third grade of the alliance, so he can only touch his black bald head helplessly and sigh.
"Coach, it's time for you to get an idea." It was Kobe Bryant who reminded Scott when he saw the sluggish atmosphere in the Lakers locker room, and maybe Scott didn't care when others spoke, but as soon as Kobe's unique voice sounded, Scott reacted immediately.
"Las Smith, Thackeray, our tactics are ...... By the way, Kobe is the core of our tactics, once it can't be opened, it will be handed over to Kobe, and also, I can't play as a coach, but Kobe can, so everything on the court has to listen to Kobe, you know? Byron Scott muttered for a long time, and finally got his point.
"Ah, I hear you, Coach!" When the Lakers players heard this, they opened their mouths wide and nodded.
Among them, the Lakers' second-round pick Russ Smith selected this year is even more confused, the world's top league coach is like this, this level? Russ, who had experienced four years of rigorous tactical instruction in college, opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
I don't know if you still remember this person, Li Mojie's NCAA journey was met by Las Smith's Louisville Cardinals team lost the round of 16, and then the Cardinals were like a bamboo, in the NCAA finals, the top seed University of Louisville and the University of Michigan had a fierce competition, Russ Smith started the game, helping the University of Louisville finally defeat the University of Michigan 82-76, since 1986, after 27 years to win the NCAA championship again.
In 2013-14, Russ Smith was named to the Associated Press and the Basketball Writers Association of America to the All-American First Team, making her the sixth player in University of Louisville history to receive the honor. Russ Smith is the only UC player to have scored 1,800+ points, 350+ assists and 250+ steals, and he set a school record with 256 steals.
Despite his outstanding performance in the NCAA, his seniority in the draft led to his age, limited potential, and height of only 1.83 meters, which became an obstacle for Las Smith to prove himself in the NBA. He wasn't drafted by the Lakers until No. 46 in the 2014 draft.
If there were no accidents, Las Smith's strength was not enough to support him in the NBA, and Li Mojie was drafted by the 47th pick 76ers before crossing over, and he was finally sent to the NBL, and then went to the CBA.
Due to Yang Shaoxia's injury, there is only one Wesley Johnson at the Lakers' small forward position, and the team has hoarded too many guards, so Byron Scott sacrificed a combination of Las Smith, Archie Goodwin, Kobe Bryant, Ed Dimmons, and Robert Thackeray.
Against the Suns' CJ McCollum, Jordan Clarkson, Lee Mojab, Markieff, Gobert's combination.
The game started again, on the court, the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant ran back, and finally got a chance to shoot, he received the ball and turned to throw, but he ran into Li Mojie's interference.
With a bang, Li Mojie defended the ball, Gobert stretched out his arm to grab the rebound, and then continued to hand the basketball to Li Mojie.
Li Mojie held the ball to the frontcourt, and Kobe Bryant defended alone.
"Oh, there was a wonderful scene on the court, Li Mojie faced Kobe!" Teacher Yang Yi shouted excitedly.
And the other half of the Commitry's reasonable guidance is worried: "This adjustment is unreasonable, what does Byron Scott think?" As a veteran of the Mini, Wei Ping Bryant naturally knows very well that Kobe, who has been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons, where can he still guard against Li Mojie?
When Kobe Bryant entered the league, he took Jordan as his idol, so he reported his height as 198cm as Jordan, and his actual height should be between 199-200cm, and Li Mojie is the official height of 204ba, that is, the height of shoes, the actual height is about 3cm), weight, due to injuries and age, Kobe Bryant reduced his weight to 93 kg in the offseason in order to maintain his athletic ability, and Li Mojie is 104 kg, To stand in the boxing ring, the two can't fight together at all.
Li Mojie glanced at Kobe Bryant behind him, held the ball with his back, and didn't say anything, Li Mojie did not take the initiative to change positions to find Kobe Bryant in this game, but since Kobe Bryant has reached the small forward position, then he will not show mercy.
For this ball, Kobe Bryant was close to Li Mojie. But this season's Li Mojie has become more and more decisive on the offensive end, turning directly to the right side, hard against Kobe's defense, and accelerating to rush over.
When Kobe Bryant was caught off guard and retreated, Li Mojie suddenly stopped suddenly, and after collecting the ball, he took a cross step and shook Kobe Bryant with a feint.
By this time, Ed Dimmons had followed, and the Lakers' defense was on the verge of collapse.
But Li Mojie did not choose to pass the ball this time, and at the moment when Ed Dimmons rushed over, Li Mojie's left foot kicked the ground violently, and then his body quickly retreated, and Li Mojie jumped up in an exclamation at Staples Arena.
Or a step-back jumper!
This ball, a sharp stop and cross step, shook Kobe Bryant, and then a sudden step back, and Ed Dimmons distanced, this ball, Li Mojie got plenty of space and shot steadily.
"Whew" the basketball obediently fell into the net.
"Li Mojie played so resolutely, in the face of a generation of emperor superstar Kobe, he had no stage fright at all, and came to his own singles solo show!" Teacher Yang Yi exclaimed.
On the other side, Wei Ping Bryant sighed: "A generation of newcomers is better than the old, and the boxers are afraid of being less strong, isn't it the same for Jordan and Kobe Bryant back then?" ”
"Anser......" I don't know who started shouting, but the voice got louder and louder, and gradually merged into the same voice, and the arrogant Zijin aristocratic fans hoped that Kobe Bryant would respond.
And Kobe Bryant did the same, so he used his experience to run and fall into a nice low post to ask for the ball. This ball, in the face of Li Mojie's defense, Kobe Bryant played very patiently, bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity to "sit" Li Mojie, holding the ball and starting to play with his back, virtual and real, not necessarily every time he pushed off the defense, he only needed to exert a slight force, and when there was a trace of rhythm on the gap, he immediately turned over and jumped up, and directly threw the basketball out.
When the Lakers fans were short of breath all over the court, there was a bang, and the crisp sound of wiping the net sounded again, Li Mojie shook his head helplessly, this ball Li Mojie has a physical advantage, but Kobe Bryant has a big single after 08. His comprehension of the back is very profound, and every little movement is wonderful, if not for the rupture of the Achilles tendon. Kobe Bryant may not retire at all in 16 years, and when he holds the ball in the low post, he still needs a double to wrap up. The only downside is that Kobe Bryant is lacking in strength!
"Beautiful, Kobe Bryant responded with a tough shot!" The guest appearance of the Lakers Arena DJ old Magic Johnson shouted loudly.
"Yes, even Coach Jeff of the Suns is helpless!" Anchor Heidi Watney added.
The old magician turned his eyes and looked, and indeed Hornacek on the sidelines also clapped his hands, shook his head, and looked admired, but if you want to say that there is nothing to do, hehe, then Hornacek doesn't agree, Kobe, how many can you hit this ball? A 36-year-old veteran with a ruptured Achilles tendon can play like this, how many minutes can he play, and how many points can he cut?
"Since you want to play singles, I'll fulfill you!" Hornacek glanced at Scott next to him and sneered, and then made a heads-up gesture to Li Mojie on the court.
So in the third quarter, Li Mojie completely let go of his hands and feet, and Kobe Bryant had a fierce one-on-one, heads-up is what the swingman is best at, you and me, at first Kobe Bryant could keep up with experience, but with the decline in physical strength, technical movements were inevitably deformed, gradually, Kobe fell into the disadvantage, and the score was gradually expanded.
