Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 123: Mutual game

O'Neal started to perform immediately after he came on the court. After all, he had been resting off the court for so long. Now he was holding back all his strength and wanted to explode. Moreover, at this time, the SuperSonics also replaced their main force, which just allowed Shaq to

You can fully exert your power.

In the remaining minutes of the first quarter, Shaq fully demonstrated his dominance in the paint, beating several players in the Sonics inside to the point where they had no idea what to do.

It is for this reason that other substitute players on our Lakers team also performed very well, and the score suddenly increased to double digits.

However, when the second quarter began, the situation on the field suddenly changed dramatically. The Sonics began to change their offensive tactics. After their tactical changes, they immediately received good returns. In less than three minutes, the Sonics

Within minutes, the score was overtaken again.

Shaq was actually not on the court during this period after the start of the second quarter. He took a break at this time to get our entire Lakers rotation into a normal state again. After all, Shaq will be there later.

Grams still has to play with our starters.

However, during this period, our Lakers bench players suddenly lost their touch. On the other hand, the SuperSonics suddenly had a big explosion, which suddenly reversed the originally huge disadvantage.

We were all caught off guard.

Of course, now we have just brought the point difference back to the starting line, which is not enough to put us in a real dilemma or worry. After all, we believe that we are still stronger than the Sonics.

However, the tactics used by the Sonics at the beginning of the second quarter were very risky. They began to gamble on shooting three-pointers. Of course, if they feel good, three-pointers are indeed a good way to chase points.

There are two players among the SuperSonics' substitute players. Both of them are in quite good condition today, and they even look much better than their starting players. This situation is actually quite normal, because in fact

No one in the world can guarantee that their starting players will perform better than their bench players.

Every basketball game is full of various variables. If a basketball game did not have these variables, it would not be so exciting and attractive. It is precisely because every team and every player will play in different situations.

Some unexpected situations occurred during the game, which made the basketball game full of charm.

In the next few minutes, our substitute players on the Lakers side held back the situation again and did not allow the Sonics' offense to continue so unscrupulously. As long as the point difference between our two sides remained within a few points,

Then when our starters return to the field, we still have a good chance to regain the lead.

Time passed very quickly. More than four minutes passed in the second quarter. Then our Lakers called a timeout. At this time, our Lakers were still about four points behind the SuperSonics. Such a point difference

It can be reversed in two or three rounds.

At this time, head coach Silver Fox Harris finally started to talk about tactics. I found that it is actually better for him to talk more about tactics. After all, this is his advantage project. To encourage people, his level is really not up to the NBA.

The coach is average, but he does a pretty good job in tactical layout and tactical research.

Although our Lakers players are often unable to execute his tactics perfectly, this does not mean that the tactics of head coach Silver Fox Harris are not effective. More often, it may be because our Lakers do not need

Then complex tactics can be played.

In fact, tactics are sometimes a double-edged sword. It depends on which angle you look at it. The personal characteristics of some players are actually not those who play according to tactics. They are more creative on the court, or in other words,

Personal scoring ability, so many times the tactical layout may need to be formulated around these top stars.

Only in this way can the strength of the top stars be fully displayed. Relatively speaking, the tactical arrangements of some teams can indeed allow more players to perform at an average level, but they are not very suitable for cultivating one or two players.

The absolute core players of the team, these actually restrict each other, and sometimes the fish and the bear's paw are indeed incompatible.

The current situation is that the tactics of head coach Silver Fox Harris are indeed very suitable for certain teams in many cases, but I think many of his tactics are actually not suitable for our current Lakers team, because from the actual results of the game

Looking at it, we will find some problems, that is, when our Lakers sometimes play unclear tactics, we can take the initiative as a whole on the scene. However, when we sometimes strictly follow the tactics, on the contrary

Can't get the desired results.

Why did it lead to such a result? After I came down, I did some analysis. After watching a lot of videos of our Lakers' previous games, I slowly began to discover the problem, that is, our Lakers are actually not that suitable to go there many times.

The game was played using the tactics of head coach Silver Fox Harris.

But there are big problems in this matter. After all, he is still our head coach. In addition, his tactics are good at least on the surface, but why can't they be used?

This has to talk about the issue of player types. Our Lakers' player types are relatively complete. Compared with many teams, they are actually very luxurious, and we have indeed achieved quite good results.

, at least now they still have the top three records in the league.

But if we are just satisfied with this, then head coach Silver Fox Harris has performed very well now, but our goal is not as simple as just getting a better ranking in the regular season.

Well, what we have to do now is actually to challenge for the championship ring.

This goal is not too high, but to be honest, it is completely achievable with our current lineup of the Lakers.

Our Lakers lineup has top stars both inside and outside. Some can play in isolation, some can run and shoot without the ball, some can attack, and some can defend.

Generally speaking, the individual abilities of our Lakers team are extremely strong, and we can even arm-wrestle with the Chicago Bulls. But is it really that simple? Obviously, such a group of powerful players with their own personalities must work together.

Playing ball is actually not a simple thing.

Especially on the complex and ever-changing basketball court, everyone has different characteristics. In fact, the head coach needs to specifically formulate tactics according to different types of players. But to be honest, this is really a requirement for the head coach.

It's a bit too high. Let alone our Lakers head coach Silver Fox Harris. Even looking at the entire league, there are only a handful of head coaches who can do this perfectly.

So it is obvious that head coach Silver Fox Harris is not a tactical incompetent, but that his tactics sometimes lack enough pertinence. This pertinence is aimed at how to use our Lakers' most powerful players.

Players are motivated.

You may think that Shaq and I seem to be performing pretty well, but this is definitely not caused by Silver Fox Harris, but that Shaq and I do have top-notch personal abilities, and more often than not we rely on ourselves.

Believing in your own personal ability to play basketball will actually produce better results than the execution of his tactics.

This is also a huge contradiction. At least in my opinion, there is still a lot of room for improvement in Shaq's playing style, and there may also be room for improvement in the rotation of players, but those are not the aspects that I focus on.

What we really care about the most is how we can maximize the abilities of our players on the court.

To be honest, when cooperating with Shaq, sometimes you will feel that it is a very easy thing. It seems that you only need to hang the basketball high to him standing in the paint, but sometimes you will

I think this is a very difficult thing. Why do I say this? Because you will find that Shaq is really too emotionally affected sometimes, and this may cause a lot of difficulties in a game.

Imagine the trouble.

Shaq is much smarter than most people know, but his personality itself is a bit childish, which leads to him being very emotional on the basketball court. If he is in a good mood, he can perform very well.

Well, if he is in a bad mood, he may cause huge damage to the team.

And when you are on the court, you actually have to wipe Shaq's butt sometimes, because he always leaves you with some unexpected troubles, but you have no way to really blame him.

It is precisely because of such a team atmosphere that Shaq seems to have become a child who has been spoiled by the people around him, because no matter what he does wrong, he does not seem to be truly punished.

, so they will act more unscrupulously.

Head coach Silver Fox Harris actually has to bear a certain amount of responsibility in this process, because his attitude towards Shaq was too indulgent, which also led to many of Shaq's very obvious flaws and mistakes not being addressed in a timely manner.

Understanding and changing everything depends entirely on his mood.

This in itself is a scary thing, especially when he is the core tactical core of our Lakers team. In addition, although he is lazy many times on the defensive end, he is still very important in our defense.

The center position has always been extremely important in basketball games.

Otherwise, there would be no saying that the one who gets the inside line wins the world, because the inside line is always the foundation of a team. If your team has a huge inside advantage, it will have a relatively solid foundation. Even if the outside touch is not good,

Then we can still seize the score through the advantage of the inside line, so the inside line can very well determine the team's lower limit position.

For a team with a strong inside line, the lower limit cannot be too low. Of course, the inside line cannot completely determine the team's upper limit. Even the top inside line players cannot do it, because with the emergence of the three-point line, more and more players

The more players have excellent outside shooting ability, the living environment of traditional centers will actually become worse and worse.

Although such a thing has not happened in this era, everything will slowly change. It will probably take nearly twenty years from this era to the small ball era, but in this process, the NBA

Players will gradually change their playing style and develop towards faster, more accurate and further directions.

It is precisely for this reason that although Shaq's dominance in the interior has been demonstrated since he entered the league, there is no way for the team to show strong dominance in the playoffs.

, On the one hand, there are many other excellent centers in this era, such as Olajuwon, Admiral David Robinson, Gorilla Ewing, Uncle Mu, Morin and other very excellent inside players.

What really determines the team's upper limit is often the top outside players. For example, the combination of Jordan and Pippen of the Chicago Bulls can make the Bulls so powerful. Compared with other teams of the same era, the Bulls' inside players are actually

This is already very bad, but the Bulls' ability to achieve such great success fully demonstrates that outside players are often the ones who determine the course of the game at the most critical moment.

Because although the closer you are to the inside, the higher your shooting percentage will be, the closer you are to the inside, the greater the defensive intensity will be. Even the top insiders will find it difficult to get good inside shot opportunities under crazy double teams.

A good outside player can create scoring opportunities by himself, so in the end, the starting point of offense must return to the outside, because with the development of the times, teams are increasingly finding that letting inside players go

Posting up is a very inefficient way to score.

When outside players initiate an offense, the tactics can become richer and make it more difficult for opponents to defend. When outside players hold the ball and attack, they can either attack by themselves or pass the ball to inside players to complete the offense, and

Most outside players have better ball-handling abilities and can handle the ball quickly and correctly when being double-teamed.

It is difficult for inside players to do this. When they are double-teamed, they often make mistakes or find it difficult to pass the ball to the teammate in the best position as quickly as possible. There is no doubt that this is a very fatal ability that inside players have.

It's defective.

Looking back at Shaq, Shaq's inside ability to attract double-teams is definitely top-notch. Not many teams have inside players who can defend Shaq alone. Even if they can temporarily guard Shaq, they cannot always do so.

To guard against Shaq, even the top interior defensive players such as Mutombo and Dream Olajuwon complained endlessly when facing Shaq's singles.

But Shaq's weaknesses are also obvious. His ability to handle the ball is not very good, especially when he suffers more inside double-teams than other inside players. His shortcomings in this area make it impossible for him to truly

Become the best starting point for tactics.

Assuming that Shaq can have the inside support ability of Olajuwon, then the strength of our Lakers team will definitely be greatly improved. Of course, we cannot have our cake and eat it too, and we cannot be too greedy and let Shaq

It is also unrealistic for Ke to become an all-powerful warrior.

So how to solve this problem? In the final analysis, we still need an outside ball-holding point. This ball-holding point must also have a certain ability to handle the ball. In fact, I could originally use it as this outside ball-holding point, but now I

His ability to handle the ball from outside is actually not the best.

I admit that my passing vision and willingness to pass are not up to standard in many cases. Sometimes my strong desire to attack will make me only focus on the basket and no teammates. It is precisely because of this

The reason is that our core players on the inside and outside of the Lakers lack the ability to handle the ball well.

So now our Lakers lineup is not really showing its power as it should be, and how to solve this problem, to be honest, is actually a question that head coach Silver Fox Harris should think about.

The game went very quickly, and when the time came to seven minutes in the second quarter, our Lakers starters returned to the court.

At this time, the overall score between the two sides has been completely tied, which means that our Lakers and SuperSonics are back on the same starting line.

After our starters returned to the court, they did not fully adapt to the rhythm of the game at first, and the Sonics immediately seized the opportunity and made two consecutive three-pointers.

To be honest, these two three-pointers had a certain impact on our overall morale. After all, our starters came on the field excitedly to re-open the point difference with the SuperSonics. Unexpectedly, after coming up, they let the opponent

First, we widened the point difference, which is naturally a bit unacceptable.

But there is no other way. After all, they come on the field first and warm up first. Now we have to be passively beaten as soon as we come on the field. We can only stabilize our position first and slowly restore the situation on the field.

Shaq and I used the pick-and-roll in the high post to attack again. The Sonics still didn't have a good way to defend the pick-and-roll between me and Shaq. Shaq has finally learned to be smart and doesn't take the initiative to ask for singles in the post.

His free throws today were two out of ten free throws. If he continues to make free throws like this, our Lakers team will be in doubt.

So now he started to play pick-and-roll with me, turning into a super version of the cake king, waiting for me to throw him alley-oops.

In fact, this is indeed the best way to attack, because to be honest, only this way can we bring out the advantages of Shaq and me. My ball-handling threat can make the Sonics dare not guard me, and Payton's glove

When he was guarding me, he actually committed two fouls because of his excessive movements. It was only halfway through the second quarter, so he also paid a little attention to his defensive movements when he was guarding me.

The pressure on me on the offensive end has been slightly reduced. Gary Payton no longer dares to force me very hard on the defensive end. Of course, his personal defense ability is still very strong, even if he doesn't need to make particularly big defensive moves.

In terms of defensive methods, Gary Payton can also cause considerable interference to my offense.

We are gradually getting better on the offensive end, but overall our Lakers offense is really relying too much on the performance of Shaq and me. Obviously this is not a good thing, because in this way

If we come, the two of us will have to bear a lot of pressure, and the opponent's defensive focus will be very focused on the two of us.

Of course, this actually has some benefits, one of the most important benefits is that the two of us can develop a strong personal leadership temperament, which is why this is a very important thing.

Because in the playoffs and at critical moments in many games, you still have to look at the personal abilities of the stars. At this time, you will find that the personal abilities you have cultivated are very important, especially the rational quality.

After Shaq received my pass, he easily dunked the ball into the basket. Facing Shaq who jumped up, the Sonics didn't even have a chance to foul. This must have been something they didn't expect.

Yes, but that’s exactly what happened.

Shaq's power is too strong. There is no way for one person to directly hold him down. This means that you cannot give Shaq room to jump. Once he jumps up, your various defenses will also change.

Floating.

The next thing will become much simpler. As long as our Lakers have an advantage on the offensive end, we can smoothly convert these advantages into greater advantages. This is the snowball effect, and this effect will last forever.

In fact, it is not difficult to do, especially for a strong team like us, when facing a downwind situation, we can make ourselves become more and more downwind.

The overall state of our Lakers team is getting better. Of course, the SuperSonics have gradually adapted to the intensity of our games at this time. They began to change their defensive lineups and defensive methods. This change quickly allowed them to achieve certain results.

Of course, Shaq and I are also adapting to their changes.

In the past, they would choose to double-team and foul Shaq who was playing alone with the ball. But now when Shaq and I have a certain tacit cooperation, their defense will become less effective, and this kind of situation will occur.

After the situation, the Sonics will naturally make some appropriate changes.

Their defense against Shaq will now appear more complex and changeable, which we will not be able to fully understand in a short time. They may even temporarily give up some defenses in other positions, especially against me and Shaq.

.

They also discovered one thing, that is, no matter how our ball moves, in the end Shaq and I will complete most of the shots, and other teammates are not actually that high in participation.

Although some of them also have certain scoring ability, the basketball game is originally about looking for the point with the greatest scoring control to score.

Shaq and I's scoring threat and scoring stability are naturally better than other Lakers players. This also makes our Lakers' tactical choices relatively loose. How can I put it?

Well, that means that most of the time we still have to rely on our own abilities to open up situations.

All this has brought us into a certain deadlock between the Lakers and the SuperSonics. To break this deadlock smoothly, to be honest, it is really not an easy task. Why do you say that? The SuperSonics really

Much more powerful than we imagined.

This is mainly because in fact, in addition to Gary Payton and Sean Kemp, there are actually some equally reliable and powerful teammates in their team. These teammates are far from being what we initially thought, they are just some teammates.

The guys who are more parallel importers actually have their own skills.

It is said that the players who can enter the NBA are unlikely to be rookies, so it is very normal for this situation to happen now.

As time went by, our Lakers team quickly widened the point difference again. This was achieved with the concerted efforts of our entire Lakers team. Of course, head coach Silver Fox Harris still had a certain degree of confidence.

The credit goes to him because he made some temporary adjustments to our lineup before, such as the arrangement of opposing players, and he made correct judgments.

In fact, I also found that our Lakers players are not completely unable to make correct judgments and fully utilize tactics. It may just be because we are a little lazy. If we can be a little more serious,

Many things will not be like this.

When the score difference is

After being pulled away once, the head coach of the SuperSonics had to make some adjustments. For this reason, he called a timeout. During the timeout, the overall atmosphere of our Lakers team became quite good. I don't know why.

This result was caused by whatever reason, but I am still happy to see that everyone is in a relatively good mental state.

Next, head coach Silver Fox Harris made some appropriate adjustments to our tactics. To be honest, his adjustments were very effective. At least this time I think they are effective, if they can be implemented according to his ideas.

, it is very likely that we will widen the point difference again in the next period of time.

This is indeed a pretty good thing. I still want to win the game earlier. In the previous games, our Lakers were able to gain a huge lead relatively early.

Then there will be a lot of garbage time for us to have a good rest. To be honest, such an opportunity is really not easy. After all, in the long season, it is really possible to feel tired because of

Get such an opportunity.

After the timeout, Shaq and I are still in pretty good shape. What we want to do most now is to end this game as soon as possible, as long as we can win the game as soon as possible.

In order to achieve this, we naturally need to be better at both ends of the offense and defense. On the offensive end, Shaq and I are still very incomprehensible in our offense. I also discovered that it is only Gary Payton.

There is no way for people with good defense to guard Shaq and I easily, because as long as we can form a certain tacit understanding, we will be very powerful and can guard both of us in the entire league.

Not many came down.

However, although Shaq and I's offensive status has become very good since we came back, a problem has arisen, that is, we are not particularly successful in defending the Sonics. Maybe it's because the Sonics are really good.

After their offensive state came back, they actually became very good. As a result, it was difficult for us to open up the point difference at once. In order to open up the point difference as soon as possible, we must do better.

OK, but how to do it better is indeed a big problem.

Shaq and I are already very good on the offensive end, so the only aspect that can be improved is naturally the defensive end. However, on the defensive end, Shaq is at a huge disadvantage because of his defensive habits.

Every opponent likes to take advantage of Shaq's disadvantages, because no one wants to confront Shaq inside because his physical strength is too strong.

Shaq's dominance is indeed astonishing, and is extremely rare even in the history of the entire league.

Shaq's dominance mainly comes from talent, but the sport of basketball itself is an industry where God rewards you and relies heavily on talent. If you don't have talent, no matter how hard you work the day after tomorrow, you will achieve nothing.

, this point is undoubtedly very important.

Not just anyone can become a professional basketball player, but being able to become the top professional basketball player shows that this guy has very high talent, and this talent is actually difficult to copy in many cases.

Shaq is such a guy with a powerful talent that is unimaginable to ordinary people. How powerful is his talent? It can be said that if Jordan's physical talent is 10 stars, Shaq's physical talent can be 12 stars.

Star, you may be dissatisfied with this, but if you really compare Jordan's talent with Shaq's, it really doesn't make any sense.

The hard work Jordan put in before becoming a top player is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The game in the second quarter was actually quite intense. We, the Lakers and the SuperSonics, had some back-and-forth attacks. We both had a few good shots, but they were all in a certain few minutes.

His performance was not that good during the game, but this is also normal. No one can say that he can maintain such a good state throughout the entire game. If there is such a person, he can only be said to be a superman.

.

During the intermission after the second quarter, I entered a state of meditation again. The meditation state is a kind of energy supplement for me. You must know that playing high-intensity basketball games is very important for me.

The mental consumption is actually very huge. In this case, I also need to do some meditation to replenish energy.

I don’t know who invented the practice of meditation, but since it exists, it naturally has a reason for its existence. This is an innate ability of us humans, but not all people can understand the meaning of meditation.

can bring them many benefits.

Let me tell you this, during the process of meditation, you can gain a lot of extra power, and these extra powers often come from deep within your heart. If you do not enter the meditative state, you will

You will never be able to understand the huge potential that you have in your own body.

How should I describe this potential? In fact, it is like saying that you have opened a door to the depths of your own heart, and the power contained in this door is unknown to you at first.

At least I discovered a lot of very interesting things after meditating on this door. Some of these things can provide energy deep in your heart. This energy is often impossible to obtain through other means.

Yes, only after you pass through the door of meditation, you will find that life is full of something very special.

This time after I entered the meditative state, I did not have a conversation with Kobe's soul from the beginning, because I needed some time to recover my spirit, and Kobe's soul should also know what my state was like at this time.

Yes, he has always been in the depths of my subconscious, and I don’t know what kind of secrets he discovered there.

Time passed very quickly. The fifteen-minute intermission only passed by allowing me to take a short nap. During this period, I used meditation to restore my mental state to normal.

In a very good state.

Only in this way can I completely release my energy. Everyone has his own energy, but sometimes this energy needs to be released or obtained through different methods.

For me, meditation is the best way. During the process of meditation, my brain will do some cleaning, eliminate and process some information that is not so important, and then let my brain retain what is important to me.

the most meaningful thing.

In fact, I am very relaxed when playing basketball games, because I know what my level of strength is, and when I am in a relaxed state, I can actually perform well.

Of course, for me, whether I am under a certain amount of pressure or in a relatively relaxed state, I can still achieve a pretty good state. Only in this way can I truly gain such energy.

Energy that helps me continue to grow.

In fact, the sport of basketball is very simple, just put the basketball into the basket, but it is not easy either. You need to invest a lot of energy and enthusiasm in and outside the game.

But human energy and enthusiasm are limited after all. Even if you are a very energetic person, you will feel some fatigue from the sport of basketball due to long boring games and shooting training, and this situation will occur.

In fact, it is quite normal, and what you have to do is not actually to resist the occurrence of these situations. More often, you need to focus all your energy together, and then find a way to achieve some kind of sublimation.

The intermission time passed quickly, and the second half of the game will proceed as scheduled. After the fifteen minutes of meditation during the intermission, my energy has indeed been restored to a great extent. Next, I

Together with Shaq, we will launch a fierce attack on the Sonics, and we will try to gain a certain advantage in the third quarter.

In fact, we are increasingly discovering that the third quarter is a very critical node in the entire game. If we can grasp this time period of the third quarter, we can definitely do a lot of things, among which it is very critical.

The key point is to establish a winning streak in the game.

In fact, it is very easy to win the game, but it is also quite difficult to say difficult.

There are also some players who have special talents. For example, some players with poor athletic ability may be very accurate in three-pointers and mid-range shots. Some players with poor offensive ability have very good defensive awareness and defensive talent, and some players may

They have extremely high basketball IQs, but their athletic talents are lacking.

So if you want to survive in the NBA, the most important thing is to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses or make up for the shortcomings as much as possible. In fact, in a real game, everyone does not need to be proficient in every aspect.

Because the game is played by five people on the court at the same time, it means that everyone will have a division of labor, so you are not better than one person doing all the work of five people. You can just be a catcher and shooter as long as your shooting is particularly accurate.

, if you have particularly good passing awareness and accuracy, you can consider being the brains of the team to organize the offense. If you have strong rebound protection or frame protection abilities, you can become the team's inside gate and rebound protector.

Or, if you are particularly good at defense or taking out the ball, then you can become a defensive spearhead to deal with the opponent's strongest offensive point on the field.

We must bring out our greatest potential during the game. Only in this way can your true strength be revealed.

But this is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to actually do it. Your opponents are NBA players just like you, and the players who can enter the NBA are at best hundreds of the most powerful basketball players in the world.

One of the athletes, so in fact the gap between NBA players is sometimes not as big as the data shows.

Many of these players have not received enough opportunities. If they can get better opportunities, they can become very strong players.

This can be reflected in many cases.
