My Name is Kobe Bryant

The first quarter of the game between the Lakers and the Spurs has ended, and somewhat unexpectedly, the Lakers did not take much of a lead.

Under Popovich's tactical arrangement, the Spurs Twin Towers battled very steadily. Slow tempo, lots of inside shots.

With the help of O'Neal's defense and the weak fourth position of the Lakers, they are only 2 points behind in a single quarter!

Lakers 24:22 Spurs.

Bryant scored 11 points in the first quarter, O'Neal scored 7 points.

Usually the Lakers will have about 25 shots in a game, and a large number of defensive counterattacks make their offensive rhythm very fast.

And in this quarter, the Lakers only took 18 shots!

The Spurs spent almost 24 seconds on every attack, which greatly reduced the number of shots taken by Kobe and O'Neal.

The Spurs only had 2 turnovers in the first quarter! This is an extremely rare thing. Under the pressure of the Lakers' historical perimeter defense, the Spurs' offensive turnover rate is the best controlled.

"The Spurs restrained the Lakers!" The coaches of other teams in front of the TV seemed to see the dawn of defeating the Lakers.

Inside twin towers with shooting ability, and a short point guard!

In this way, all the strengths of the Lakers can be perfectly avoided!

In this era, short point guards are not difficult to find, but insiders with shooting ability are still very scarce. Almost every big man proficient in mid-range offense is a star player.

But under the pressure of the Lakers, perhaps a large wave of inside players who are proficient in shooting will appear. After all, the Sharks' dominance of the penalty area is too terrifying. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to go head-to-head with him, so it is acceptable to find a pitcher to explode with him.

"Grind! Hold down the rhythm, one ball at a time, let David and Tim play slowly!" This is Popovich's tactical arrangement, which is to rely on the twin towers to drop ten games with one effort.

Shaquille O'Neal is awesome!

But can one person be worth two Duncan Robinsons?

Kobe is horrible.

But after the dominance of the defensive end is disintegrated, can the Spurs be killed by single play alone?

This is the way Popovich believes is the most promising way to beat the Lakers!

In the first quarter, the Lakers' offensive momentum was fierce and they were still in the lead, but in the second quarter, Duncan and Robinson led the team to play as substitutes respectively, and after Kobe and O'Neal rested for half a day, the Spurs took the lead!

"Go-ahead! Spurs go-ahead! Lakers 34:36 Spurs!"

"Duncan stuck Big Ben, used a nearly perfect turning hook, and scored the ball steadily!"

"Ben can't guard Duncan! He's too tall! And Duncan's chassis is too stable! His excellent basic skills allow him to attack from all angles!"

"Will the Lakers usher in the first loss of the season? Will the Spurs lead the West?"

Harris waved his hand calmly.

"Kobe, Shaq. Come on."

King Fried Combination.

No matter what schemes and tricks you have, I will crush everything with one hand.

Silver Fox Harris feels that he has transformed from a technical coach to a superstar coach this season. As long as Kobe O'Neal can play comfortably, then winning is very simple.

Once OK came on the court, the situation was different.

Kobe broke through and scored consecutively, allowing O'Neal and outside shooters to score.

The Spurs' offense can indeed effectively restrain Kobe's dominance on the defensive end.

But what about defense?

Who are you counting on to play against Kobe?

A 1.78-meter general?

Chunky Monty Williams?

In the end, only the No. 3 pick in 1989, Sean Elliott, served as the first line of defense against Kobe.

Sean Elliott is 2.03 meters, with a thin body but a strong wingspan. There is no outstanding point in offense, but the defensive end is very close to one of the five tigers of the later Pistons-Little Prince Prince!

They all use excellent agility and speed without seeking to completely block the opponent, only cover, and then use their height and wingspan to oppress the offensive player.

It's easy for Kobe to beat him!

After the screen, look for a mismatch and single out Duncan or Robinson.

If you can't find a misplacement, just break through!

Very simple and clear offensive method, but the Spurs just couldn't defend it.

O'Neal was still fighting with David Robinson, Kobe simply started the full attack mode in the second quarter!

"Three-pointer! Kobe made a three-pointer after a screen! Accurate! So accurate!"

"Breakthrough! Sean Elliott is always stuck in front of Kobe, but Kobe has eyes in the back of his head and throws the ball to Eddie Jones on the outside, and Jones makes a mid-range shot."

"One-on-one! Kobe singled out Duncan again, and the mid-range fantasy kicked off our No. 1 pick and completed the mid-range shot."

"7:0! Kobe played 5 points and 1 assist, directly stopping the Spurs."

Kobe slapped Popovich with a slap in the face and won just by targeting us on the defensive end?

Popovich was thrown into a rage by Kobe's provocation. Now Popovich is still a hot-tempered youth coach. Apart from Duncan and the Admiral, there is no one who doesn't complain.

"What are you defending against!" He yelled at the perimeter of the Spurs.

Adjusted back, the Spurs can only fully double-team Kobe. To let Kobe play the ball, I would rather let the Lakers attack from outside than let Kobe play comfortably.

At halftime, the Lakers 53:49 the Spurs.

The rhythm on the field is more and more following the Lakers. A large number of double-teams make more open shots. With more open shots, the offensive rhythm naturally becomes faster.

In the third quarter, the Lakers OK all together, ready to close the game.

Duncan and Robinson also gritted their teeth and stood up, and the scene became a confrontation between the four top superstars.

When Kobe assisted O'Neal, dunked Duncan with a crazy tomahawk, and dunked Duncan to the ground, the Spurs could not collapse.

"Tim looks a little scared!"

"Shaq's murderous dunk was too terrifying. If I were Tim, I wouldn't dare to defend Shaq."

"I was dunked by Kobe in the preseason, and I was dunked by Shaq in the regular season. Our No. 1 pick this year can be called the Lakers' number one background board!"

After the Lakers took a 15-point lead, Kobe and O'Neal didn't exert much effort.

At the end of the game, the Lakers 112:92 Spurs.

Bryant scored a season-high 41 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 turnovers on 14 of 24 shots.

O'Neal made 10 of 21 shots, scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. The Spurs twin towers still largely restricted the Sharks.

The Admiral made 13 of 27 shots, scored 31 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers. His large number of mid-range shots is the key to the Spurs' ability to bite the score.

Duncan made 9 of 18 shots, scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.

"We still lost." Popovich sighed, the Lakers' fault tolerance rate was too high. I have abolished the defensive counterattack system that the Lakers were best at before, and it can almost be said to blow up the Lakers' defensive end.

But still lost.

"We didn't lose to the Lakers, we lost to Kobe." Popovich said after the game.

"The team lost, but I didn't lose!" Admiral David Robinson felt that he had blown up O'Neal, and O'Neal's defensive range after gaining weight was too small.

"I haven't exerted my strength yet. The team has already led by 20 points. By the way, does your champion need to see a doctor?" O'Neill responded to the Admiral.
