Reborn My Name Is Kobe

The half-time break is really short. Although people who usually watch football may think that the half-time break is quite long and they have to watch advertisements for a long time, but in fact, for the players who are playing the game on the spot,

, these fifteen minutes of rest time are really not enough, and there is no adequate rest and recovery at all, and the second half is about to start again.

But there is nothing I can do. Even though I was very tired in the first half, I still persisted in continuing the game because I have seen some hope of winning in this game. If this game can really win for me,

If I win through my hard work, then there is no doubt that I can basically become famous in one battle.

Although our Lakers' record before this season was also very good, and my statistics were okay, after all, that was achieved with Shaq, and this was back-to-back games on the road against the powerful Jazz.

, if I can still win the game without Shaq, there is no doubt that it will bring a great advantage to my own psychology. I will be more confident when I meet Shaq again in the future.

I feel a little more confident.

At least it won't be said that he is completely embracing Shaq's lap. Although Shaq is indeed the mainstay of our Lakers team, it cannot be said that Shaq's efforts alone have brought our Lakers to this point.

Thinking of this, I even felt a little excited deep in my heart. This game is undoubtedly an opportunity for me to prove myself.

In the first quarter of the first half, I was heavily defended by Stockton, and my state was very sluggish. However, in the second quarter, I improved my state significantly, didn't I?

, which shows that I do have the ability or the potential to do this.

As long as I can play well, no matter what the final result of the game is, as long as I can fully utilize my state, then everything will be worth it.

The fans at the scene must also be more willing to see us fighting so hard. In the second quarter, I had two goals that were particularly exciting. Didn’t the fans at the scene also turn against each other and boo their home team? This shows that as long as my

The strength is strong enough, and it can also make the home fans feel that our Lakers team may even be better than their home team.

The second half started quickly, and our Lakers took the lead in attacking. At this time, I was observing whether the Jazz had decided to change their defensive strategy against me in the second half, but I found that their defensive strategy did not seem to be much different from the first half.

The difference is that Stockton still has to guard me, and then he rarely double-teams me.

My understanding of this is that they may have discovered in the first half that if I was in really good shape, even if many people double-teamed me, it would be difficult to really guard me, so they simply let me go by myself.

I was playing singles, but they tried their best to cut off the connection between me and my teammates. As long as they did this, then my power was generated by one person after all.

And my physical fitness has already declined a bit in the first half. I can't possibly score all the team's points, and they seem to be happy to see me overexerting my physical fitness. In the fourth quarter, they try again.

When they double-team me like crazy, it's hard for me to have the physical strength to score key points.

I thought of such situations in my mind, so I immediately frowned. I didn't want to really become like that, so after the start of the second half, I didn't participate in the attack too early, or maybe I

While trying to find a state where I can have a relatively benign interaction with my teammates, what is the method that can completely liberate our Lakers offense?

If my offensive singles can't attract the Jazz's double-team, then how long my singles can last is indeed a big question.

This is also a problem that single-core teams have to face. When Shaq is here, we at least have dual cores inside and outside, which can make the opponent lose sight of one when defending us. Now I have to support it alone.

The entire offensive and defensive system of the Lakers, obviously my current strength is not up to that level. You must know that even at the peak of Kobe, it is difficult to truly achieve this. This is actually determined by Kobe's playing style.

Kobe's playing style often determines that he can make a team very top-notch, but the prerequisite is that he needs a better inside player as the foundation of the team, because Kobe cannot do everything by himself.

, what he is best at is one-on-one singles and one-on-one defense.

Other things such as organization and rebounding actually require teammates to share some of the pressure for him. Therefore, when Kobe achieved brilliant achievements in his career, the team always had Shaq or DaGa.

Top insiders like Sol exist.

I have realized this situation in my current state, because my energy is still limited after all. On the defensive end, I must also devote all my strength to lock Stockton, which makes it impossible for me to continue to attack.

The terminal is output.

And I found that after the half-time break, not only did I not feel that my physical fitness had recovered much, but I felt that my body was even more tired. I know this is because my fatigue accumulation during this period has reached a certain level.

My usual training intensity is so intense that my body cannot fully recover to the maximum extent. This also results in my fatigue accumulation far exceeding that of my teammates, although my body resists this fatigue accumulation.

The ability is also very powerful, but everything has a limit. Once it reaches a certain limit, my body still can't resist it.

In the next game, Robert Horry and I played a pick-and-roll on the offensive end. Because he has a three-point range, he can retreat beyond the three-point line after we pick and roll, and I will have more options.

Some, the opposite post player Karl Malone is actually not very willing to defend Robert Horry beyond the three-point line.

Every time he defended, he just pretended to pounce to the outside. In fact, many times he didn't really pounce on Robert Horry desperately.

Naturally, I noticed this, so I decided to take advantage of this and let Robert Horry and I conduct a high pick-and-roll, and then find a way to make the Jazz change their defensive strategy.

Although Robert Horry is not very athletic, he still has no problem with his basketball IQ. At least when it comes to executing tactics, I think he is the player with the best tactical execution in our Lakers team.

Since Stockton and Karl Malone like to use pick-and-roll tactics to beat us, then we can simply use pick-and-roll tactics to beat them. We don't know what they are thinking deep down at this time.

Of course, since they are top experts in pick-and-rolls, they must also have very rich experience in defending pick-and-rolls. I'd better not be too happy too early.

However, in fact, the effect we received after Robert Horry and I used pick-and-roll tactics was really unexpectedly good. Soon Robert Horry and I were revitalizing the entire Lakers offense on the offensive end. It seemed that even

It’s hard for a pick-and-roll master to defend me and Robert Horry’s pick-and-roll offense.

Because in fact, I have been observing the pick-and-roll method between Stockton and Karl Malone. As the saying goes, if there is a threesome, I must be my teacher. I also tried hard to spend some energy on their best pick-and-roll tactics.

Research. In fact, during our Lakers team training before, I tried to get Shaq and me to practice a similar pick-and-roll tactic.

But Shaq is a bit too self-righteous. He feels there is no need to learn and use other people's tactical systems. I can only shake my head helplessly. If Shaq didn't have this kind of character, I think his achievements should be

It can be much higher than it is now.

Of course, the Jazz also showed good power on their offensive end. When my defense against Stockton had reached a limit, the Jazz came up with their trump card, many pick-and-rolls, and their pick-and-rolls

It is not limited to Karl Malone and Stockton, but continues to expand to other Jazz players. When they use this changeable pick-and-roll system, our Lakers have to deal with it.

You will still get into some trouble.

The Jazz players have very good tactical execution. The most critical point is that Hornacek is now more difficult to defend. After I put all the defensive focus on Stockton, they

Jeff Hornacek, another pure outside pitcher, is not so easy to handle.

Our Lakers really don't have much to do about this, because Van Exel's defensive ability is relatively poor. He mainly exerts his power on the offensive end. Today Van Exel has actually helped our Lakers on the offensive end.

The team provided a lot of help.

Although I didn't mention him much before, he is still the Lakers player who scored the most points besides me in today's game, followed by Robert Horry.

However, his scoring was mainly concentrated in the first quarter. When I was completely locked up by Stockton, he still stepped forward and took on a considerable part of the scoring task. However, after my condition improved, he

There was no more action on the offensive end.

Now in the third quarter, I am consciously conserving my physical strength, so I have given up a large part of my offensive opportunities to Van Exel. I hope he can help the Lakers to a certain extent when my state is relatively declining.

However, although Van Exel performed well on the offensive end, he can only be regarded as a big colander on the defensive end, because it is difficult for him to defend Hornacek or Stockton.

Of course, among the two of them, Hornacek is actually better to defend. After all, Hornacek is not very fast, so with his speed advantage, he still has a chance to defend.

.

It's just that in the actual defensive process, Van Exel's real problem is that he has very little defensive experience. Maybe it's not just because of his lack of defensive experience. I think the more important thing is that his defensive habits are relatively poor.

Yes, this can actually be solved later

Learn to make changes.

It's just that if the habit is not established at the beginning, it will be more difficult to correct and modify it in the later stage. I am deeply aware of this.

Because in fact, I am constantly working hard to correct some of my bad habits on the defensive end. Sometimes these habits are not formed in a day or two.

It was gradually formed over a long process, and many times I was actually not able to know which of my habits were problematic. It was only in the process of watching the game video later, and then discussing it with the defensive coach.

After the exchange, I realized that I still need to improve on many defensive details.

Only by improving my defensive skills step by step will it become more solid.

When Van Exel faced Hornacek, although he could keep up with him in terms of foot speed, the real reason that made him look so weak was that when he defended the Jazz's pick-and-roll, he seemed

Some of his thinking was too simple. It was precisely because of this single thinking that he was unable to see clearly the Jazz's true tactical intentions after the pick-and-roll.

Many times the opponents you face on the basketball court will create some problems for you. They will let you see some flaws, but in fact, those flaws are deliberately made for you to see, and the purpose is to lure you.

Entering their trap, and this is actually a very normal thing, because the basketball team

The basketball game itself is a game process, so in this process, you and your opponent are not only competing with your body, skills, and willpower, but also with your brain. If your basketball IQ is not enough, it will be easy.

Being unable to see through your opponent's true tactical intentions will put you at a disadvantage on the defensive end.

This is even more true when dealing with a team like the Jazz, which is obviously very good at carrying out such complex tactics. Their multiple pick-and-rolls will lead to many possible subsequent tactical extensions, and the extension of these tactics will bring

The result is that our Lakers players will appear at a loss when facing their attack, losing a defensive focus, and then always leaving space for their outside shooters.

Of course, there is no way around this. After all, any team is actually very weak when facing the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics. However, some teams are willing to put in more energy on the defensive end, and our Lakers win

The ball often relies on defeating the opponent on the offensive end. On the defensive end, we mostly rely on the players' personal talents and personal defensive abilities. But when facing the opponent's overall team attack,

No matter how strong an individual's defensive ability is, it is still very limited.

In the next game, our Lakers and Jazz continued to collide fiercely on both ends of the offense and defense. As our Lakers players' expectations for this game changed, we began to realize that we would definitely win this game.

Opportunity, at this time our Lakers team began to become stronger.

This change on the psychological level is very valuable. It will give you strong inner strength, so that you can overcome any difficulties. As the saying goes, difficulties are like springs. When you are strong, they will be weak.

If you are weak, you will be strong, but it is not easy to achieve this kind of psychological toughness.

And this kind of game actually gives us the Lakers a better opportunity, allowing our players to have the opportunity to develop this kind of character level toughness. This is actually very important to us, because when the opportunity comes again

When times come, especially in the playoffs, being temporarily behind cannot really defeat you. What you need to do is to stay positive no matter how huge the disadvantage is.

With a strong heart, I firmly believe that I can have the opportunity to change the disadvantages in front of me.

The Jazz's offense performed quite well in the next few minutes, and once again regained an advantage of almost five points. However, the resilience of our Lakers team was shown at this time, and they soon used another wave.

Xiaogao went to recover the points difference.

To be honest, this process of pulling points between each other is very interesting. It means that your offense and defense have still made certain progress. As long as we can bite the bullet and keep the point difference within a certain range.

, we definitely have a chance to win this game.

And this opportunity is not small. I also found that the Jazz players had some psychological problems when they were unable to widen the point difference. They are also human beings, and they will also be affected by some external factors.

Once their psychology and emotions begin to change, it means that our Lakers will be able to get a certain opportunity. This kind of opportunity may have been difficult to obtain before.

When the game reached about six minutes in the third quarter, neither coach even called a timeout, which forced the NBA to call an official timeout. During this timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris said to us today

The performance in this game is still highly rated.

He also saw the strong resilience we showed when facing strong opponents, and this is very, very valuable.
