Chapter 284: When Kobe Bryant Has a Sense of Humor

The Bucks entered the final month of 2005 with a 9-4 record.

On the first day of December, Yu Fei approached George Karl with the idea of adding a low-post offense.

According to Karl, this is unnecessary.

With the Bucks' current system, Yu Fei's basket can already solve most of the problems. As for that small part of the problem, it should not be dealt with by flying, after all, no player can do everything.

"But I can't never go low." Yu Fei said, "I want to be more comprehensive. ”

Carl had no choice but to do what Yu Fei wanted.

In the first battle of the new moon, against the old club Wizards, this is not a suitable opponent to hone low-level skills, because the Wizards have a good average height.

The shortest man in the starting line-up was Arenas at 191 centimeters, and the rest were all over two meters.

Yu Fei is committed to finding Arenas's misplaced back play, after all, at the beginning, it is easiest to find the easiest to fight.

It's just that the Wizards suffered a few losses and no longer gave Yu Fei the opportunity to eat Arenas alone in the low post.

They began to wrap up in the fly.

Yu Feile got the bag, passed the ball casually, assisted the double again, and won the Wizards away lightly.

Two days later, against the Magic, Yu Fei tried several more back hits, but the effect was not good.

This reminded him of when he was in high school, he played as a center, and he usually practiced back play and low post footwork, but after entering the NBA, his wing and guard were very successful, not only becoming the best guard swing man in the NBA, but also forgetting the low post pace practiced when playing center.

Yu Fei's current low-post offense is very rough, and the only ones who can eat the opponent are big and small, and when he encounters a large physique, he basically relies on a few fights to turn over.

Seeing that the effect was not good, Yu Fei gave up the low position on the spot and used the way he was good at to break the magic.

As for the low-post attack, you have to ask a special person for special training, study the video of the footmaster, and then keep the training combined with actual combat to accumulate experience.

He could develop his shot in five years, and he could spend another five years working on low-post offense.

Then, the time came to December 6th.

The Bucks are back at home, and they are about to welcome the most popular team in the league at their Bradley Center, the Los Angeles Lakers.

After a failed season, the Lakers need a fresh start.

As a result, they shocked back Phil Jackson, who was on a collision course with Kobe Bryant, at the end of last season.

This is a big event that no one can foresee, because the contradiction between Jackson and Kobe Bryant is no less than O'Neal.

In the OK era, Jackson was a recognized supporter of O'Neal, and there was a clear difference in the way the two coached the two, which was directly manifested in two things, O'Neal was understandably lazy, and Kobe Bryant was selfish and unacceptable. In those years, Jackson repeatedly asked the team to trade Kobe, and after the collapse of F4, during a short break, he wrote a book called "The Last Season: A Team Looking for a Soul" (published in China), in which he made extremely sharp comments about Kobe.

The famous Jackson took Kobe Bryant to Jordan for dinner, and then Kobe Bryant threatened to beat Jordan alone.

Anyone who lacks knowledge of Kobe Bryant will be quite biased against him after reading that book.

No matter how you look at it, there is no room for relaxation in the relationship between the two men.

However, according to Charlie Rosen, a close friend of Phil Jackson, the Lakers let Kobe Bryant and Jackson sit down and talk for a while before making this decision, and it was done.

Few people know the specifics of this meeting, and the only thing that is certain is that the two sides have at least reached a consensus: from now on, Phil Jackson can no longer attack Kobe Bryant in the media as he did in the past.

After signing back Jackson, the Lakers wanted to make a difference in the free market, but lost to the Bucks in the race for Kwame Brown, and then made a cap salary offer for free agent Tyson Chandler, but was matched by the Bulls.

After going back and forth, the Lakers, who urgently needed to strengthen the interior line, repeatedly downgraded their needs, and finally, signed back the mediocre Tony Barty with only a three-year, $21 million contract.

Just like what happened in Yu Fei's previous life, the Lakers, the most talented, have officially started the 2005-06 season since the beginning of the new century.

The big boss Kobe Bryant, who didn't prove himself last season, the second leader Lamar Odom, suspected of having mental problems, but is still a quasi-star player, Caron Butler was absent due to injury at the beginning of the season, so the three masters were relegated to the future CBA star Smash Parker at once.

This gave Bryant a chance to unleash his true nature.

In the past month, Kobe Bryant averaged 29.2 shots per game, scoring 33.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists.

Tonight, when Kobe Bryant walked into the Bradley Center, Yu Fei took the initiative to say hello: "Should I call you the Black Mamba, or what?" ”

In fact, Bryant never publicly announced that his new nickname is Black Mamba.

The title "Mamba" is what Kobe Bryant's inner circle calls him. It's just that for some reason, it was rumored, and then when people asked Kobe about the meaning of this nickname, Kobe did not shy away from explaining: "The black mamba can continuously hit its prey at maximum speed with 99% accuracy." That's the precision I wanted. Due to the lack of systematic training for the past two years, I went to the battlefield with a rusty butter knife. Although I did what I was supposed to do, I just fought to survive. ”

Yu Fei in his previous life liked this nickname, doesn't it sound cool?

But now, he can't comment.

What exactly did an NBA star who had been accused of sexual assault think of when he decided to embrace the name of a 13-foot-long serpent as his nickname? It's funny, because the serpent is easily associated with sexually related metaphors, and such associations are strongly rejected by Bryant's camp.

However, Kobe Bryant can even reconcile with Phil Jackson, so what's the big deal with this nickname? In Yu Fei's view, the reconciliation between the two is as difficult as the reunion of Huang Baoqiang and his ex-wife.

In response to Fei's greeting, Kobe Bryant replied: "You can call you whatever you want, but I want to know how I should call you?" Prohibition Ambassadors? Huang Da O? Or Mr. Triple Pairs? ”

Seeing that Kobe Bryant finally found what had disappeared in him in the past two years - a sense of humor - as an eleven-day old Komi, Yu Fei was happy for him.

"Just call me Fry." Yu Fei said.

Bryant asked, "The kid who took the ABCD MVP from me in the first place?" ”

"That's right, that's the Fry."

"If it's that Fry," Kobe said, "I think he'll call me Kobe." ”

Hearing this, both of them laughed, but it was equivalent to flying back to the backcourt to shoot, and his mind switched from greeting Kobe to how to limit Kobe's offense.

If he's not mistaken, this season is Kobe Bryant's offensive outbreak season, scoring 50 points in a row, scoring more points in the third quarter than the Mavericks as a whole, and 81 points in a single game are all from this season.

Yu Fei only hopes that the Bucks will not be part of the above record.

This shouldn't be a high requirement, right?

After the warm-up, both sides started the game.

On the Lakers' side, Bryant and Odom are flanked by Parker, Vujacic and Tony Barty.

Except for Kobe, there is no stable strong point.

But Kobe Bryant's strong point, and the Bucks have enough manpower to play a wheel war with him.

As long as Kobe Bryant's offense is extinguished, it will not be difficult for the Bucks to win.

In the opening jumper, Barty, who had the advantage of height, won the first shot for the Lakers, and Smash Parker was like a stalled fast train, rushing into the basket to make a fast break.

Kwame Brown reacted and took a shot of his hat directly.

Yu Fei grabbed the rebound, the Bucks fast break came to the frontcourt like lightning, did not give the Lakers any time to react, Yu Fei passed to the left to follow up in place Martin, who hit the basket with a three-point shot.

"Smash was already fast, but Frye was faster than him, and besides, the Bucks' offense was very organized."

The commentator's explanation directly distinguishes the difference between fast and fast.

Phil Jackson whistled and let the Lakers slow down.

There is a consensus within the league that the 2002-2004 Bucks were . A crude embryonic version of the sun. But with the Suns losing in the playoffs, experts have changed their word that the Suns are the rough embryo. Because the Suns' fast offense worked in the regular season, in the playoffs, they lacked defense and rebounding, which is the Bucks' strength.

The Bucks' speed is completely different from the Suns' speed, the latter is the team's overall style, and the former is thanks to Yu Fei.

The best feature of both teams is that they spend less than 17 seconds on average in attacking rounds.

Any team that tries to play with them at this pace, will be slaughtered; Teams that fail to stop them from playing at this pace will not have a chance of winning against them; Only the teams that break their offensive rhythm will be eligible to compete with them.

Jackson was well aware of this, so he reminded the team.

But Parker is a man who can only be fast, not slow, and if he can't play fast, he can only disappear from the court and wait for defensive rounds.

Jackson, who wants to avoid the team falling into a four-man watch for Kobe Bryant, has to accept the fact that Bryant will have plenty of singles opportunities tonight.

Want to control the pace? It's very simple, let people run and run tactics, pull away the position, clear one side, and give Kobe Bryant stage and time.

In the last ten seconds of offensive time, Kobe Bryant took the ball on the right side of the waist, hit Laga Bell with his back, first leaned on the ball, then turned around to lift the ball, picked up Bell, stepped forward, and scored on the board.

3 to 2

Kobe's figure is in the flyer's eyes, and inexplicably overlaps with an old man on the Wizards wearing No. 23.

This made Yu Fei feel ironic, he had worked with Jordan for a year, but he didn't learn a low-post offensive move and a half from the other party, because he didn't need to play the low post at that time, and as the relationship between the two deteriorated rapidly, it was even less likely for him to imitate, learn, or even ask Jordan for advice.

But now, he suddenly realized that if he wanted to get started in the low post, imitating Jordan like Kobe Bryant could be a shortcut.

It's equivalent to running to the halfcourt, and seeing Kobe Bryant personally defending himself, he thought, why should I imitate Jordan? As an eleven-day old Kobe, is it bad to imitate Kobe? Aren't people more picturesque than Jordan?

"Kobe, how can I improve my low-post offense?"

Remember, Kobe Bryant has regained his sense of humor. He knew how to answer to provoke Yu Fei.

"Why do you ask me?" Kobe said jokingly, "You can just look back at the video of the game when you were there." ”

What a good answer, Da Fei's face pulled, and he immediately launched a fierce attack.

Kobe, who is at the peak of offense and defense, although he keeps his position, Yu Fei is no longer the rookie who can't get rid of it and can't carry out personal offense.

Yu Fei attacked the free throw line, suddenly stepped back, suddenly pulled away with Kobe, and closed the ball for a jumper.

5 to 2

"You know," Yu Fei said, "I'm not going to let go of any bastard who prefaces that person in front of me." ”

Kobe Bryant let out a "uh-huh" and was indifferent to Fei's cruel words.
