My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 655 Kobe’s tactics to win G1!

At the beginning of the second half, it was still an offensive situation between the Lakers and Jazz.

The Jazz's offensive tactics are still the duo of Malone and Richmond. The Jazz, who have the most luxurious Big Three in the league, can only play pick-and-roll in front of the Lakers!

Kobe didn't dare to give up Stockton to defend Richmond. Now it's Malone and Richmond who are open. Stockton is in a transparent state. Once Kobe blocks Richmond, who has a good touch, the solution Stockton, who is free from restraint, may lead the Jazz to full bloom!

The Lakers' tactics have quietly undergone adjustments and changes.

In the first half, Kobe held the ball, attracted double teams and then passed the ball to create offensive opportunities.

In the second half, Eddie Jones and Horry launched the attack!

Eddie Jones used his height advantage to organize the offense in front of Stockton!

Horry moved to the outside to organize the offense at the high post, making Malone very uncomfortable.

They have only one purpose! Provide support for Kobe who is playing without the ball!

"Damn it! How could Kobe give up the ball?" Stockton opened his eyes wide in disbelief!

Kobe's ball-handling offense obviously achieved very good results in the first half!

Unlike the Spurs' defense against Kobe, the Jazz's defensive players have stronger height, wingspan, and strength. Kobe can choose to shoot hard when the Spurs double-team, but he can only pass the ball when the Jazz double-team.

This is what Jerry Sloan wants!

I would rather let Kobe pass the ball and create a lot of open offensive opportunities than let Kobe swing.

Jerry Sloan is confident that he can win the game if Kobe doesn't explode and O'Neal doesn't get a lot of shooting opportunities!

It's a candy bomb!

It seems that it is wonderful for Kobe to create a lot of shooting opportunities, but in this way, the Lakers lose their core offensive mode! From the superstar ball tactic to the breakthrough ball tactic.

What Sloan has always been afraid of is not the pitchers. No matter how powerful the Lakers' pitchers are, the Jazz's offense is not a vegetarian.

The scoring efficiency of Malone and Richmond will definitely not be worse than that of the Lakers' role players.

Sloan thought that Kobe would fall into such an offensive rhythm. After all, the traditional basketball philosophy is to find openings and mismatches!

Since Kobe can create unlimited openings, why should he play it himself?

Why?

Because Kobe likes to win or lose! Hold it in your own hands!

On a sailing ship, the captain must always hold the wheel!

No matter how big the storm is, he can't help others!

Even though passing the ball allowed the Lakers to score 70+ points in halftime, Kobe still resolutely turned on the scoring mode!

"Ha! This kid doesn't think he can catch and shoot more efficiently than us, right?" Malone smiled instead of getting angry.

Richmond fanned the air in confusion to cool down his body that was running hot under the power of the computer.

wrong!

It's not that simple!

Only Stockton was suspicious, would Kobe make such a simple mistake? Does he think his shooting percentage on catch-and-shoot jumpers will be higher than the Lakers' overall offense?

There must be something I didn't notice!

Stockton gritted his teeth!

Although Stockton is one of the strongest point guards in the league, his height and age are destined to make him vulnerable in the confrontation with Kobe!

Even if he sensed something was wrong, there was nothing he could do to destroy Kobe's jump shot!

The task of chasing down Kobe was given to Richmond.

After Richmond joined the Jazz, he has been the arrowhead who defended Kobe!

Russell acted as a double-teamer for the second time!

This is Jerry Sloan's strategy, using Richmond's strength advantage to suppress Kobe's first step, and then use the ensuing double-team to let Kobe play the ball!

Kobe's shots must be blocked.

When Kobe Bryant went off the ball, Richmond had a headache.

Kobe runs!

Then you have to chase it!

Kobe is a scorer with offensive space all over the entire half of the court. If you give him an open space, you will give away points!

It was a bit uncomfortable to chase.

Originally, Richmond spent a lot of energy as the Jazz's ball-handling attacker in this game.

In the end, we still have to run against Kobe?

"Damn it! He wants to kill Mickey!"

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Stockton exclaimed when he looked at Richmond who was sweating and unsteady on his feet!

Ruined!

It was discovered too late!

useless! Richmond's physical energy has been exhausted, and there are still 6 minutes in the game!

Kobe's strategy is - unlimited off-ball screen pick-and-roll jumpers on the offensive end, unlimited running to consume Richmond's physical energy!

On the defensive end, let Richmond and Malone do it!

Richmond's big weight! Let him consume a lot of physical energy in endless running and holding the ball in pick-and-rolls!

Sloan's face turned pale on the sidelines!

this!

How can this be!

A player less than 20 years old, his plan is so amazing?

Abandoning the 50-50 tactic with the Jazz, he went out of his way to find another way to turn a close game into one-sided in an instant?

This tactical understanding! Such courage! Such execution!

Is this the youngest MVP in history?

If Sloan hadn't habitually squeezed Richmond, letting Russell defend Kobe's first step, and letting Richmond wait for opportunities to help defend, maybe THE ROCK's physical energy would not have been depleted so quickly!

The effect may be a little worse, but at least it won't make Richmond lose his footing!

After all, not every player can be like Kobe, who can take unlimited shots on the offensive end and block the opponent's offensive players on the defensive end! Such energy! This kind of physical ability! This kind of willpower! It’s unique to Kobe!

This is Mamba Mentality!

"Can't run anymore?" Kobe's eyes seemed to be looking at a dying prey, staring at Richmond indifferently.

Since you can't run anymore, it's time to face your death!

"Kobe is back holding the ball!"

"Strong play! Kobe chose to play hard under the defense of Richmond and Russell!"

"Speed up! Pass! Kobe passing Richmond is like crossing the road in the early morning!"

"Get inside! Jump into the air!"

"Let's not forget that Kobe has another identity! He is the slam dunk king!"

Kobe passed Richmond in one stride!

Richmond only felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and Kobe passed by him.

He didn't even wait for Russell's double attack!

His footsteps softened, and Richmond sat down on the ground.
