When Kobe Bryant heard this, he first shook his head, and then replied proudly: "The essence of basketball is to put the basketball in the basket, not to get a gimmick through fancy passing and exaggerated dunks." Why should I compete with you in these areas? My goal is to win, understand? ”

"Understood, because my goal is also to win." Yang Mo smiled, he felt that Kobe Bryant tonight was a little too abnormal, and it was not the style that he used to overcome.

Yang Mo didn't know that the reason why Kobe Bryant was so low-key tonight was entirely because he couldn't help Yang Mo. Yang Mo couldn't help it in all directions, he didn't expect Yang Mo to surpass himself in technology. At this moment, he really felt old, but he didn't say it, and it wasn't Kobe Bryant if he said it.

The game still went on when Bryant returned to halftime. Everyone noticed that Kobe Bryant had changed, he didn't continue to ask, but started running off the ball, and even did selfless blocking for his teammates.

When this scene came out, not only the Lakers fans, but even the Lakers players were stunned. Phil Jackson was even dumbfounded, he didn't expect Kobe to become the person he wanted Kobe to be at this time: a selfless leader.

A guy with a strong attack suddenly becomes selfless, and the direct result is that his team starts to become indestructible. The Lakers instantly got into a strong system, and the rest of the players began to get more open shots. At the same time, the Knicks also had to focus a considerable part of their energy on Kobe, and even if he didn't attack, his threat was always there.

Soon, the Lakers got the ball and Ron Artest hit the ball safely, and it was an open shot.

Yang Mo quickly captured the seriousness of the matter, Kobe Bryant has obviously changed from a attacker to a tactical disruptor, and the already strong Lakers team has immediately become more aggressive.

In this regard, Yang Mo could only grit his teeth and deal with it. Back after half-time. He aggressively directed his players to run and then scored goals with accurate passes that led to the goal.

Offense isn't a problem for the Knicks these days. The problem is defense, when the Lakers evolve again, the Knicks' defense is in trouble, and they can't limit the Lakers well.

If it was the Knicks last season, Yang Mo wouldn't think much about it at all, just attack against offense, and rely on the advantage of scoring more points to win. But now, Yang Mo can no longer think about the problem so simply. After all, this year's pursuit is the championship. A team without defense is destined to have a tough run in the playoffs.

Yang Mo tried to increase the intensity of the defense again. But the effect is not particularly obvious. Kobe Bryant's running was like an electric eel, directly activating the entire Lakers team. That's what Phil Jackson has always wanted Kobe to do, and now Kobe has finally figured it out.

Yang Mo didn't expect that his all-round lead would make Kobe Bryant give up his individual heroism and integrate into the atmosphere of collective combat. This is tantamount to turning the opponent from a tiger into a pack of wolves. A tiger is scary, but a pack of hungry wolves is even more terrifying.

The two teams played back and forth for nearly five or six minutes, and each other's hit rates were quite high, and there were almost no misses. But the Knicks still couldn't widen the margin and always maintained a five-point advantage.

That's already a good result for the other teams, after all, this is the home court of the Lakers, and this is Stamps. However, this is for Yang Mo. Not something to be proud of. He wants to knock the Lakers straight down on both ends of the floor and get an easy win, just like they've done before.

Drip!

Therefore, Yang Mo asked for a timeout when the first quarter was about to end. He returned to the bench. Walking directly to the coaching team, he wants to listen to the comprehensive opinions of the coaches.

"Our defense right now is completely incapable of juggling Kobe Bryant with the rest of the Lakers. Bryant's performance completely disrupted our pre-game deployment, and we had to make a change. As soon as Stein came up, he said this to Yang Mo, and his words were almost all questions, and he didn't answer them at all.

But what Yang Mo needs now is advice, he turned his eyes to Coach K, who hesitated for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "My opinion is Jordan's rule, let go of Kobe Bryant and concentrate on dealing with other Lakers players." ”

Yang Mo nodded when he heard this, but he didn't think it was a good suggestion, and he looked at Coach Sloan again. Coach Sloan groaned slightly, and said slowly: "You may want to comprehensively suppress the entire Lakers." It's difficult. First of all, you have to find someone to keep Kobe Bryant at bay and keep him from running around. ”

"I'll defend him personally." Yang Mo said very simply.

"Other players can't relax, although there are many Knicks now, but there are very few people who can both attack and defend, if you can't completely suppress the Lakers on the defensive end, it is very likely that you will lose your rhythm on the offensive end, and then you can ...... It's a big problem. Coach Sloan said with some concern.

At this time, Yang Mo made a decision: "Just do it, let's wait for the last three minutes." If the Lakers continue to play like this, we don't have a chance to win. ”

Saying that, Yang Mo stepped aside and directly arranged tactics: "Tyson Chandler, Turiaf, Jeffries, and Tony Allen, you follow me, we have to comprehensively contain their offense, everyone has to stick to the opponent like kraft candy, and can't give them easy scoring opportunities." As for Kobe, I'll pester him. Our next defense is just one word, pestering, stalking them so that they can't shoot......"

Drip!

Soon, the whistle blew and the game resumed.

When the players from both sides return to the court, the Lakers still have not changed players, while the Knicks will have a large-scale makeover, and at a glance it is clear that it is a real move on the defensive end.

Phil Jackson was not shocked by this, he instead laughed and thought that the Knicks had fallen into his trap. He had long expected that Yang Mo would strengthen his defense, so he carefully designed a game to completely bury the Knicks.

Yang Mo didn't know about this, he only knew that the next three minutes were crucial.
