NBA: The opening game knocked Jordan

Chapter 238: Kobe Bryant Falls!! Daiji adopts shark cutting tactics, Kobe’s luck and misfortune (subscription please!) ）

The second quarter of the game begins.

In the first three minutes, both teams were assigned to play as substitutes, in order to allow the main players to rest more.

After all, the difference between the two teams is not large, there is no need to work hard, and if you start working so early, by the most critical fourth quarter of the game, it is likely that you will not have the physical strength to persevere.

The substitute lineup of the two teams can be said to be equal, playing back and forth on the field, it looks very lively, in fact, it is rookie chickens pecking at each other, the substitute lineups of both sides not only can not keep up defensively, but even the offensive efficiency is not high.

Three minutes later, the main line-up of both sides reappeared.

The Lakers continue to implement the strategy of focusing on the interior, and the big shark O’Neal relies on his physical advantage to catch the ball and want to top the defender and make a violent dunk.

However, this time Daiji took the initiative to foul the shark O’Neal in advance.

“Toot toot…”

The referee blew a foul on Daiji, and O’Neal received two free throws.

Barkley, the Kings’ defense in the second quarter was much smarter, and it seems that Kings coach Adelman also had some arrangements at the end of the first quarter.

In my opinion, shark chopping tactics are the best tactics to defend against Big Shark O’Neal. ”

Seeing Daiji’s foul, Kenny Smith’s eyes lit up and he praised.

However, what Kenny Smith did not expect was that the reason why Dazhi would adopt the shark cutting tactic was not the arrangement of head coach Adelman, but the guidance of Li Luyao.

“Kenny Smith, you’re right, Daiji’s defensive choices are very smart.

But I don’t agree that shark chopping is the best defensive O’Neill tactic. ”

Barkley said.

“Barkley, tell me, why don’t I know, is there any better tactic that can defend O’Neill than the shark slashing tactic?”

Kenny Smith said with a look of disbelief.

“In fact, LI is the best player to defend O’Neill.

LI had previously blocked O’Neill in the middle of a match.

But now the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant is growing fast, if LI goes inside to defend O’Neal, then the Kings’ outside will also be hammered by Kobe, which is not worth the loss.

After all, once Kobe Bryant’s hand comes, the Kings have no one other than LI who can limit Kobe, and fouling Kobe is basically no different from sending Kobe points.

So I think LI is a comprehensive measure of gains and losses, so he chose to lock Kobe Bryant on the outside, so that O’Neal on the inside can at least have the method of chopping sharks to defend O’Neal. ”

Barkley said.

“Barkley, you say that, I have no words, I agree.

This season’s Kobe Bryant doesn’t know if he was stimulated by LI, and the improvement is huge.

It should be said that the Lakers were able to beat the Spurs, and Kobe Bryant was credited.

Especially in the sixth and seventh games, two consecutive games hit the killer shot, without LI, Kobe Bryant is the league’s strongest shooting guard.

Even in the long history of the NBA, there is no second guard other than Jordan who can be better than Kobe. ”

Kenny Smith spoke highly of Kobe.

If Spurs coach Bobivich could hear Kenny Smith’s assessment, he would definitely give Kenny Smith a thumbs up.

In Bobvic’s view, the reason why the Spurs lost the Western Conference finals was to lose to the unreasonable Kobe.

The Spurs have two interior towers, Robinson and Duncan, and to be honest, they are not afraid of O’Neal, and the two sides are basically in a state of mutual explosion.

But Kobe Bryant’s state on the outside is too hot, and many times the Spurs’ bags are already in place, including the last two killer shots in the sixth and seventh games, but Kobe Bryant insisted on sending the ball to the basket, so that Bobbivich could only drink helplessly.

“Kenny Smith, Kobe Bryant and LI are in the same era, both lucky and unfortunate.”

Barkley sighed.

“Barkley, what do you mean by that?”

Kenny Smith asked, puzzled.

“Kobe was lucky because he met an opponent like LI.

Playing chess with masters, chess skills can be higher and higher.

Only with a super opponent like LI can Kobe Bryant constantly motivate himself to improve.

Now many media are rumoring that Kobe Bryant starts to practice at three o’clock in the morning every day, not to say whether this news is true, but one thing is definitely true, that is, it is the existence of LI that makes Kobe Bryant train harder.

Speaking of which, I mention my old friend Michael Jordan.

I’m sure all of you who follow the NBA know that Jordan retired twice midway.

He didn’t mention the second time he retired in ’98, but when he retired for the first time in ’93, Jordan did feel invincible and lonely at that time.

It was Jordan’s last championship in his first three-peat championship, and the Bulls’ opponent was my Suns.

I’m sure many fans are also aware that the league gave me the MVP for the Most Valuable Player of the regular season that season.

Of course, I always felt that I won it, because I averaged 25+12+5 numbers per game that season in the regular season, which is no worse than Jordan, and I led the Suns to a 61-21 record in the league that season.

But in the finals, Jordan told the world with his incomprehensible performance that he was the best player in the world.

In the Finals, Jordan averaged 40+ points per game, setting a Finals scoring record, and in the middle four games, Jordan scored 40+ points in a row, which was the only one in NBA history at that time.

At that time, Jordan’s strength was indeed the only one in the league, and in the end, Jordan could not find an opponent and chose to play baseball instead.

If there had been an opponent like LI in the league at that time, I believe that with Jordan’s competitive spirit and sense of competition, he would never have chosen to retire.

In that case, maybe fans can also see a more powerful Jordan.

Of course, for Kobe, being in the same era as LI is also Kobe’s misfortune.

It’s unfortunate to be in the same era as Jordan as our generation of superstars.

In my opinion, just as we can’t beat Jordan no matter how hard we try, I’m afraid Kobe Bryant can’t beat LI no matter how hard he tries.

In this case, it is likely that Kobe Bryant’s entire career will be in the shadow of LI, because LI is younger than Kobe. ”

Barkley sighed.

Speaking of Kobe, Barkley also thought of himself, and his entire career was suppressed by Jordan, which led to the fact that he now does not even have a championship ring, and is often joked at by Kenny Smith, who also has two championship rings.
