Chapter 9: Kobe's Persistence
[Player Template Task 1 Completed: Make the opponent commit two technical fouls, increase the match with the template Larry Bird's peak ability value by 2%, current match: 33.] 】
Snyder's technical foul allowed Wang to successfully complete the player template task.
But is there any significant feeling about the two percent increase?
Running faster?
Jumped higher?
Or is the shot more accurate?
It seems to have improved, but it doesn't seem to have improved much.
The mouth is even more cheap.
Don't spray too much trash talk, though.
Wang Shuang himself was also charged with a technical foul.
If there is another one, it will be time to take a break.
Put more energy into the game.
The Jazz, who came back from a timeout, stabilized their position with a goal.
Their tactics were clear and orderly.
Find your chances through patient movement.
Hood catches the ball on the left outside and hits a three-point shot.
Hood's three-point shot tonight was good.
The Lakers, on their side, are in a mess.
Clarkson, who also came off the bench, made a block and shot with a pouting from inside the three-point line.
I didn't fight tactics at all, I did it purely by feeling!
didn't score, but Wang Shuang got the frontcourt rebound.
This kid has really good luck with rebounding in the front court.
In fact, it is not only luck, but also his judgment of the landing point.
After getting the ball, Gobert posted it.
"Vote, boy, vote!"
Gobert is crazy and provocative.
He waited for Wang Shuang to make a move, and then gave him a big hot pot!
But Wang Shuang was not stupid, and returned the ball to Kobe.
Let Kobe pitch!
Kobe Bryant's desire to attack tonight was low.
In the first half, Bryant only made 4 shots and hit 1 goal.
In the second half, there was no shot so far.
It's not at all like a normal Kobe.
Kobe Bryant still didn't shoot after receiving the ball, he saw Wang Shuang's back in the low post, so he passed it to Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang received the ball, and the Goberts came up, this guy has long arms and legs, covering the sky and the sun.
It's like having your back against a big tree.
Wang Shuang pretended to dribble the ball backwards.
I can't do it at all!
He passed it back to Kobe Bryant again, and then shouted, "Vote! You softass! ”
Hearing Wang Shuang's words, Kobe's eyes changed when he received the ball!
It's worthy of [Larry Bird's trash talk bag], this sentence poked Kobe Bryant in the heart like a knife.
The most unacceptable thing in Kobe's life is the title of a soft egg!
This time, Kobe Bryant didn't have a soft hand, took a step to catch the ball, and made a jump shot!
The action is flawless, but it's a pity that the basket is short?
Because Bryant's leg strength is gone.
The same action does not achieve the effect of the past.
But Wang Shuang seemed to know that Kobe Bryant couldn't shoot the ball.
He slid into the three-second zone like a loach.
Bypassed Gobert and grabbed the best rebounding position!
Gobert's backcourt rebounding stats are good.
But he has a shortcoming in grabbing rebounds, staring at the ball, not marking people and not getting stuck.
The main thing is that he is too tall, and he is also suspected of swiping data.
Because once the man is stuck, the rebound is snatched away by his teammates.
As a result, the rebounding ball fell into Wang's hands again!
The hosts in the live broadcast room were shocked.
"Wang Shuang has another frontcourt rebound! He's picked up another one! You can say it's luck to pick one up, but there must be a strength factor in picking up two, and his rebounding judgment is really good. Rebounding is not the one who is tall who grabs more, and many rebounders are not tall. Wang Shuang reminds me of Dennis Rodman, who doesn't shoot the ball and rebounds himself, or gives it to Kobe! ”
Kobe Bryant received Wang Shuang's pass again, and he was embarrassed to shoot blindly.
Hold the ball and get to the basket, a left-handed layup!
It was a really tough goal, stumbling and scoring the ball.
After scoring the goal, Kobe Bryant pointed at Wang Shuang, "Boy, I'm not a soft egg." ”
Wang Shuang spread his hands and said, "Then you attack, keep attacking!" You look at your shots, are you afraid that you won't be able to shoot? ”
Kobe Bryant shot back: "I dared to shoot three times in a row in the playoffs, and you said I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to shoot?" ”
Bryant was a little angry.
In his rookie season, 1996-1997.
In the playoffs, the Lakers also met the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz of '97 are at their peak, and Marlon Stockton, Utah, is in double trouble.
And the Lakers Big Shark has just traveled west, and Kobe Bryant is still a rookie.
The Lakers were no match at all and were beaten by the Jazz.
In the fifth game, Salt Lake City, the Lakers fell behind 1:3 and had to go home if they lost.
With 20 points behind, the Lakers chased it all the way to 87 draws.
The Lakers made the last attack, and the coach gave the rookie Kobe Bryant a chance.
As a result, Kobe Bryant threw a three-way shot and missed the chance to kill.
Then in overtime, Bryant missed three more chances to overtake.
Four misses, and all of them are three no-touches!
At that time, Kobe Bryant was too young, facing a strong opponent, huge pressure, and his ability was not enough for him to complete the task.
At that time, if you change a person, you will not be able to vote for the first time, and you may not dare to vote later.
Kobe Bryant has repeatedly missed shots! Not discouraged in the slightest!
It doesn't matter if he has an iron head or is arrogant, but his courage, self-confidence, and persistence are destined for his future success.
In the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed.
As a professional player, Kobe Bryant is old.
He himself felt old.
Scoring has slipped and shots have dropped.
Suddenly I can't move, I can't shoot accurately.
Most importantly, that persistent heart was shaken.
Because he decided he was leaving.
But this game is coming to Salt Lake City again.
Stimulated by Wang Shuang's trash talk, he felt as if he had returned to that noisy night in 1997.
No matter how much the Salt Lake City fans booed him.
It doesn't matter how much pressure there is after three consecutive non-sticks.
He believes that he will score the next goal!
This confidence is the inner motivation for him to get to where he is today and win five championships!
"Pass me later, I'm going to shoot, don't replace me!"
Halfway through the third quarter, there was an official timeout.
Scott wanted to replace Kobe Bryant.
As a result, Bryant refused to go off the court and asked everyone to pass the ball to him.
Kobe Bryant said he wanted to shoot, who could stop him?
No one can stop him except the basket.
Wang Shuang knew that his goal had been achieved.
And look up at the scoreboard: 71:56, a difference of 15 points.
There are still hits!
Wang Shuang said to Kobe: "Kobe, you just have to vote with confidence!" I'll grab rebounds under the basket! ”
Wang Shuang's words are a bit unkind to Kobe Bryant.
What do you mean? Does it mean that I will strike iron?
In the first half, he shot 1 of 4, and in the second half, Kobe Bryant had already made 2 of 5 shots and made 3 irons.
But Wang Shuang is also powerful.
Don't look at his height, arm span, and bounce are not prominent.
In the second half, he grabbed three frontcourt rebounds.
Some players don't grab three frontcourt rebounds in a game.
That's right, that's you, Hibbert.
After Wang Shuang finished talking about Kobe, he turned to Hibbert and said: "Big Black Pillar, can you play harder!" Can you squeeze into the basket to grab two more frontcourt rebounds, so that the outside line dares to shoot with confidence! Are you so afraid of Goebel? Just look at him arrogantly? ”
At halftime, Hibbert had an argument with Wang Shuang.
Now he was choked again, but he had nothing to say.
Because Wang Shuang was right, the Lakers did close to the score after he came on the court.
was said by Wang Shuang, and Hibbert's competitive spirit was also stimulated.
In the past, he was an All-Star center.
The Heat's bitter hand, 20+10 inside.
How did you end up in such a field now?
It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang!
"I don't need your advice, you're still drinking milk when I'm playing!"
Hibbert replied stiffly to Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang thought, I hope you have such a hard spirit on the field.
