Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

"We noticed that in 6 minutes, Kobe only scored 3 points. Lien Feng's defense was really good today. He completely contained the Lakers' ace today."

"Let's see how Kobe will respond next! With Kobe's character, he will definitely not let Lian Feng steal his limelight, haha!"

…

Lian Feng looked at Kobe in front of him, feeling proud in his heart.

It's hard to be dissatisfied, after all, he has successfully limited Kobe's four shots.

In the past 6 minutes, Kobe took a total of 5 shots, but his shooting percentage was only a pitiful 1-for-5.

I have to say that Kobe’s head is really strong.

Because Lian Feng said: "Don't try to score from me with a back attack."

Then, Kobe made 4 back-up attacks in a row, and then hit the ball 4 times.

This time, Kobe received the ball again in his favorite mid-range.

Lian Feng quickly moved forward and took a legal defensive position. This is crucial. Whether it is defense or offense, the legal defensive position is the basis of all actions.

Kobe glanced back at Lian Feng and said coldly: "Try this shot!"

Lian Feng was filled with fighting spirit and responded unceremoniously: "Come on!"

Kobe has begun to figure out Lian Feng's defensive skills. Although he can't explain it in detail yet, he thinks it's just like that: accurately using active force to resolve his back attack, while relying on agility to keep up with his center of gravity.

Every time he takes a shot, that guy will not be out of position.

The first few offenses were all turnaround jumpers, so Kobe decided to change his offense.

After shaking his shoulders continuously, Kobe suddenly turned around and made a fake move to kick the ball. If the script goes according to Kobe's idea, then the forward will pounce on him in the next moment, just like how he defended himself in the previous few balls. Then

Next, quickly lower your shoulders and use up and down steps to complete the score.

But what surprised Kobe was that after he completed the fake move, Lian Feng did not pounce directly as expected, but took up a defensive posture on the spot.

Kobe naturally didn't know that Lian Feng had already seen through the trajectory of Kobe's center of gravity. A fake move is a fake move. There is a big difference between the change of the center of gravity and the real move. If the center of gravity shifts with the fake move, it will be difficult for him to adjust.

Return to the original shooting position.

With this incredible plug-in, Lien Feng is invincible when defending back-up attacks.

At this time, Kobe had no choice but to take action forcefully.

However, the moment Kobe took action, Lian Feng's expression changed.

Judging from the feedback given by the Insight Skill, Kobe's hit rate for this forced shot actually reached 74%!

Turn around quickly.

I saw the basketball hit the basket, bounced twice, and fell into the basket.

Kobe glared at Lian Feng angrily and said coldly: "How about this shot?"

"This is luck!" Lian Feng responded unceremoniously.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Kobe's mouth.

Next, in Kobe's offensive round, he no longer used his back attack, but began to use various methods to break up Lian Feng's defense, including emergency stop jumpers, breakthrough layups, and floaters...

Lian Feng played with 12 points of spirit every time he defended, and indeed achieved good results, but that kind of experience still occurred——

That guy is so hard to guard against!

The offensive methods that Kobe used continuously were not the same, left hand, right hand, all angles... Although most basketballs were not scored, every time he scored a goal, Lian Feng would whisper in his heart... This fucking goal can be done

Enter?

Over time, it will give people the impression that Kobe is difficult to defend.

Even so far in this game, Kobe's shooting percentage is only 40%, and he only made 8 of 20 shots.

At this point, Lian Feng was not very happy.

Because even though Kobe's offensive efficiency was not high, the Lakers still clung to the score and even took the lead at one point.

Before the start of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was tied at 49-49.

Lien Feng also performed well on the offensive end, shooting 7 of 9 from the field and scoring 17 points under Kobe's tight defense.

However, the team did not get closer to victory because of the performance gap between itself and Kobe. The authorities were obsessed, and Lian Feng had not figured out the crux of the problem for a while.

It wasn't until halftime that Adelman seriously stated the crux of why this game was so difficult.

"Rebounds! Listen, our rebounding in this game was really bad. Without rebounds, we would have accomplished nothing."

After hearing Adelman's words, Lian Feng suddenly came to his senses.

"More rebounds means more offensive opportunities! The Lakers attack 0.3 more times per minute than us! We must ensure rebounds to win!"

Lian Feng was silent. He glanced at his teammates. Among those on the field, only Tyson Chandler had good rebounding ability, but when facing Bynum this season, he did not appear to have a greater advantage.

As for others, Gasol's rebounding ability is better than that of David West, Fisher's body is stronger than Paul, and Odom is much taller than Desmond Mason.

Thinking about it this way, from a matchup perspective, only I have a greater advantage in rebounding.

However, both himself and Kobe are in the No. 2 position, and neither can directly participate in rebounding positions, whether defensively or offensively.

If an outside player has an alarming number of rebounds, it is actually very unreasonable. Such data must be based on the sacrifice of other teammates or the team.

So, how can we get more rebounding opportunities? This seems to only test the player's personal ability.

However, while the Hornets were struggling with rebounds, the Lakers were also having a headache.

Although Lian Feng only took 9 shots in the first two quarters, his extremely high shooting rate allowed him to create a greater offensive threat than Kobe.

While limiting Lien Feng to only 9 shooting opportunities, the cost was that others around him were well fed.

The Lakers players believe that their defense and offense are balanced, and a strong balance, but this Hornets team has encountered trouble on both ends.

Even Kobe had to admit, "You have to focus most of your attention on him! In fact, no matter who it is, it's hard not to pay attention to what that guy is going to do. As long as you step on the court, it's hard not to think about it.

What does that guy want to do?"

Kobe's words made others a little surprised. If they think it is difficult to handle Lian Feng, it is understandable, but if Kobe, a proud man, said these words, the meaning is self-evident.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Lian Feng was already the regular season MVP and the leading scorer averaging more than 30 points per game!

He is only in his third season in the league!

Kobe felt that this playoffs put more pressure on him than any previous season.
