Reborn as Kobe

In the Lakers offense, Kobe was double-teamed by Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller and scored the ball to Ray Allen on the side. The latter dribbled the ball into the three-point line and made a mid-range jumper with Nowitzki's pick and roll screen. 6:11.

Chris Mullin was a step slower to defend the ball. After all, time is not forgiving, and his current speed simply cannot keep up with the young Ray Allen.

The Pacers attacked and continued to hit Miller and Dale Davis. Miller was entangled by Ray Allen and failed to get an open position.

Mark Jackson had to score the ball to Mullin, who relied on Smiths to cover the high and made a shot. 8:11.

Rashard Lewis has a big problem on the defensive end. He didn't get stuck in the position of the opponent's offensive player, and the defense was not in place. No way, Lewis is not a defensive expert in the first place, coupled with his relatively soft personality, it takes at least a full season of tempering to truly mature.

Old Nelson replaced Lewis with Ryan Bowen, O'Neal began to take the initiative to withdraw from the basket and ask for a high post. Kobe made a breakthrough and gave O'Neal a single shot. Smith couldn't stand it. Dale Davis came over to double-team. O'Neal didn't hook. In, Ryan Bowen rushed into the basket and made a tip.

Next, the Pacers increased their defensive intensity, and there were no obvious loopholes in each position. Nowitzki's two shots were interrupted and the efficiency of Ray Allen also began to drop.

Fortunately, the defensive end of the Lakers is not bad, did not give the Pacers too many opportunities, after the first quarter, the Lakers led the Pacers by five points 26 to 21.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent Kobe, Horry, Barkley, Mobley, Jones, Kobe and Barkley partner inside, Mobley served as the team point guard.

Mobley's ability to handle the ball is naturally not as good as Fisher, but his breakthrough and shooting ability is much better than Fisher.

The Pacers’ second team consists of Antonio Davis, Jaylen Rose, Travis Best, Sam Perkins and Austin Crosill. It’s obviously a defensive team. The lineup, which greatly restricted Mobley's breakthrough.

Zhang Jingfang sighed: "Thanks for the Lakers to have such a superstar with a superstar nature, Kobe can let the old coach Nelson line up. Obviously now the Lakers' offensive organization is controlled by Kobe."

Xu Jicheng said: "The most incredible thing about Kobe is the adaptability of position. Many NBA players say that they can play five positions, but Kobe is the only one who really shows and does a very good job."

Su skirt commented: "I interviewed Kobe Bryant when he came to Shanghai for activities. He said that basketball's physical talent accounted for half, and hard work accounted for the other half. In many cases, it is more important to practice basic skills than talent. This year, Shencheng The Eastern team started very well. The reason was that the Shanghai players trained hard and the training facilities and arrangements were very scientific."

After half a quarter, the Lakers only widened the points difference to ten. After the official timeout, the two sides replaced the main players, but this time the Lakers did not make a rookie, Barkley and Eddie Jones continued to stay on the court.

The Pacers are excellent defensively, and the Lakers can't play fast.

Kobe is also very helpless about this, as long as O'Neal and Barkley partner, if you want to play the power of the two, you must play as much as possible.

Although the Lakers still suppressed the Pacers in the second half, the points difference did not increase too much. Both teams were in place on both ends of the offense and defense, which also brought the game to a stalemate.

In the second half, the old Nelson began to arrange star singles to compete with the Pacers for talent.

O'Neal and Barkley have increased the number of baskets, Ray Allen, Nowitzki and others have also increased their outside shooting. Kobe will shoot three-pointers whenever there is a chance, making the defensive Pacers scratch their heads.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Pacers by 16 points to 84 to 68.

Larry Bird continued to boost the morale of the players, while emphasizing that the defensive end should pay more attention to coordination and rotation.

The game continued. After the end of the game, the Lakers sent a pure reserve lineup. This year's four rookie partner Fisher, the Pacers' players on the field are also the second team led by Miller, but they are all in the league. The old ball ruffian, who has played for many years, can do everything in defense. He is only short of extra-conventional moves such as stepping and chasing eggs.

Nowitzki and other rookies are very uncomfortable for a while and have made many mistakes. No matter how talented they are, they need to be baptized by wind and rain.

The Pacers took advantage of the Lakers' brief chaos to chase the score into single digits, 91 to 82, and the Lakers led by only nine points.

After three minutes of playing, old Nelson called a timeout and re-appointed the main old players.

The Lakers got the ball, Ray Allen brought it to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe, and the other players pulled away.

Kobe took the ball in the middle, and Horry made a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, got the ball out of Mark Jackson, and leaned back on the right to pass Dell Davis.

Reggie Miller was attracted to the side by Ray Allen and couldn't help defending. Mullin chased and Dale Davis retreated to the basket to prevent Kobe from breaking through. Kobe caught the attention of the two people and jumped near the penalty area and passed the ball to the right. Bottom corner.

Horry, who had been waiting for a long time, barely adjusted the ball, jumped up gently, and gently moved the ball to the basket with his fingers, hollowing into the net! 82:94. The points difference came back to an even number.

The Pacers battled, the Lakers' formation contracted, and Kobe was staring at Reggie Miller.

This season, Kobe played more time and spent more on both ends of the offense and defense. Fortunately, Kobe's physical fitness and recovery speed are at the top level, but he didn't feel too tired.

Miller’s first breakthrough step is average, and he is not good at speed at his feet. uukanshu.com failed to get rid of Kobe. In comparison, the first step in the league is McGrady, followed by Kobe, then Carter and Iverson. Strictly speaking, Bryant's average speed is the first in the league, but in order to pursue balance and reduce the burden on the knees during breakthroughs, this did not deliberately practice the speed of the first step.

Failing to get rid of Kobe, Miller shook his position and provoked a forced shot.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and threw it directly into the frontcourt after landing. Ray Allen caught the ball and sprinted to get rid of Mark Jackson and scored a three-step layup near the free throw line. 82:96.

On the Lakers bench, old Nelson stood up with the benches to applaud Ray Allen, and Larry Bird frowned and requested a timeout.

Zhang Yangliang praised: "The Lakers lineup has undergone a certain change of blood this season, but in terms of talent, it is even stronger."

Su skirt commented: "Many times because of Kobe's excellent offense and organization, we tend to ignore his defense. Since entering the league, Kobe has often been defending the opponent's head players, and these players only have to match Kobe with efficiency. The value will be much lower than average, so many people say that the league owes Kobe the honor of being the best defensive player."

The situation could not be opened, Larry Bird could only continue to call a timeout, but the Lakers got serious, and the Pacers had problems on both ends of the offense and defense.

The Pacers played a bit anxiously offensively. Reggie Miller moved to catch the ball and made a three-pointer. Under the interference of Kobe, O'Neal grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to Kobe.

After receiving the ball, Kobe rushed to the basket and caused a foul by Jackson, who made two free throws, 82:98.

The Pacers were beaten 7-0. With three and a half minutes left, Larry Bird called a timeout again.
