NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

"The score is not widening, and the Lakers are the ones who are getting anxious.

Kenny Smith said slowly

"If the Nuggets are enough."

John added.

The Nuggets' tough defense against Kobe was not without a price. In the last attack of the game, Barry received his sixth foul and was sent off.

The Nuggets are almost out of reliable outside players.

Lakers locker room.

Kobe sat in his seat, wiping the sweat from his head with a towel.

The Nuggets' defense against him was too fierce, and the referee's standards tonight were too large. Many balls were hit by elbows and hard pulls, and the referee did not blow the whistle.

Of course, the referee was not targeting this game. The standards of penalties in this era are generally loose.

This era is influenced by the concept that offense wins the audience and defense wins the championship. Fans also like to watch high-intensity confrontations, and the league naturally follows the fans' preferences. It was not until the small ball era that the whistle was changed to body hair that the offense could win both the audience and the championship.

"Can you still hold on?

Phil Jackson came over and had a rare conversation with Kobe.

"Of course."

Kobe just glanced at Phil Jackson lightly, then lowered his head and muttered

"It seems that I asked in vain."

Phil Jackson shook his head. With his understanding of Kobe's character, he actually knew Kobe's agreement when he asked.

Asking seems to be just a beautiful fantasy.

If, of course, it's just if.

Kobe can cooperate with O'Neal, and the advantage in this game is still on their side.

Phil Jackson has already seen that they are in a disadvantage.

Kobe's crazy singles did not widen the score, which was actually difficult.

After all, Kobe at this stage has not grown to the level of playing against a team alone.

And Kobe's touch today is not as good as in the last game. Although the Lakers are still leading, it is obvious that the efficiency is low.

"Forget it."

Phil Jackson left the locker room.

He didn't plan to change the tactics. The chaotic Lakers now were not something he could change with just a few words.

Although he could change the tactics and let O'Neal become the core again, O'Neal would not pass the ball to Kobe.

Wang Chen's personnel arrangement and defensive strategy at the beginning of this game clearly showed that O'Neal was not allowed to play and the ball should be handed to Kobe.

Now Phil Jackson seemed to have no better way except to teach Kobe the ball.

The second half of the game started again.

As expected, Leonard came on the court, still defending Kobe in a mad dog single defense, not caring about fouls.

Kobe was going to score anyway, so what was the difference between a shot and a free throw?

The same thing was that Kobe was playing singles, the only difference was that the Nuggets defenders were constantly changing, and everyone on the court was 100% physically against Kobe.

"The stamina bar is 53%, which is more durable than I thought."

Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw Kobe still had 55% of his stamina after returning from a break in the second half.

This tactic has been played to the point where not only Phil Jackson can't change the formation randomly, but Wang Chen can't change the formation randomly either.

Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

And there is no need for Wang Chen to stop.

To be honest, the performance so far is much better than Wang Chen expected, and Wang Chen found that this strategy is really useful. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Popovich always says that Kobe is undefensible, and in fact his winning rate against Kobe is also quite low.

But in fact, Popovich is the best problem solver to limit Kobe.

The highest opponent Kobe faced in his career was 76% against the Warriors, and the lowest was 47% against the Spurs.

It's just that most of Kobe's losses were in the regular season, and most of his wins were in the playoffs, which made it seem that Kobe had a high winning rate against the Spurs.

"Although there is no top defender like Bowen, if facing Kobe, there is not much difference between a top defender and an ordinary defender who is fighting hard."

Wang Chen also saw it.

Bowen was afraid of being fouled, but Barry, White, and Rider, they are all small soldiers and are not afraid of being fouled.

And every time Kobe's touch tends to explode, the defensive attribute increased by [Super Timeout] can more or less suppress Kobe.

They are also fighting against Kobe to consume Kobe's physical strength. If they are not caught for fouls, they will make money. If they are caught, there is nothing to do and they will continue to replace another person.

Beep!

With the referee's whistle,

Leonard's expression widened, with an innocent expression, constantly indicating that he did not foul.

Seeing Leonard's harmless expression, it is hard to believe that Kobe on the ground was hugged and thrown to the ground by him just now.

The referee saw it in his eyes, and ignored Leonard's innocent expression and insisted on his penalty.

This is Leonard's sixth foul. There is still one minute left before the end of the third quarter.

Lakers 71:68 Nuggets

Fisher and Fox, who came on as a substitute, came over to pull Kobe up from the ground.

Kobe took a while to get up to the free throw line. It was obvious that the foul had some impact on him.

"."Coach, sorry, we'll finish the third quarter."

Leonard said helplessly. He didn't know why the referee was so diligent in catching him.

The main referee also noticed the Nuggets' fouls against Kobe and began to pay close attention. Leonard was also caught in the crossfire. The referee didn't hesitate to whistle him on some of the fouls that could have been called before.

Leonard's final hug and throw also made him a little unbalanced.

"It's okay, take a rest."

Wang Chen patted Leonard and looked at the [Information Tactics Board】
