Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 135: Reversal

Facing Stockton's aggressive defense, I was actually mentally prepared. After all, he had already used a lot of shameful tricks when he defended me at the beginning, and at that time

The defensive effect on me was still very good, maybe this made him feel that using this defensive strategy against me was very correct.

But I obviously can't let Stockton continue to be arrogant. If he always thinks that he can guard me with this little move, then he is obviously underestimating me. In fact, when I started the second quarter

I have become more accustomed to his defense.

It's just that in the third quarter, in order to save energy, I didn't participate too much in the offense. It's already the fourth quarter, and our Lakers are still eight points behind the Jazz.

Now it's time for me to show my strength.

When I attack with the ball, I have to confront Stockton head-on. When you appear weak, your opponent will further choose to bully you. Only when you become stronger can you be defeated.

Your opponent is really afraid of you and values ​​you. At this time, Stockton clearly didn't take me seriously. Faced with his behavior, I wasn't very annoyed. After all, on the basketball court

You have to rely on your strength to speak.

When our Lakers starting players came on the court, they showed a completely different mental outlook from before. In my opinion now, although the Jazz are very strong, our Lakers do not have any chance of winning.

No, as long as we can work together as one and bring out the full strength of the entire Lakers team, we still have a chance to win the game.

Facing Stockton's defense, I directly hit his hand on my arm from outside the three-point line and forced a shot. My body almost lost my balance in the air, but in the end I still made the ball.

Well, Stockton was probably very surprised because of this forced move.

Not only did he score a three-pointer, but it also caused a foul. The referee hesitated for a while, so the whistle sounded a little late, but in the end the whistle still sounded. In the end, I added a free throw and scored.

The four-pointer was successful, and the point difference between the two sides was suddenly reduced to only four points.

In the next round, Stockton once again organized with the ball. It seemed that he also planned to confront my defense head-on. Since he defended me so hard, I

I have no choice but to treat him well. I feel sorry for Stockton.

Stockton's defense also showed no regard for physical fitness, basically sticking to him to defend like a dog-skin plaster. This time it also made Stockton feel a little uncomfortable. After all, few players usually treat him like this.

The organizers put so much energy into defense.

But one thing I know very well is that Stockton is the real core and brain of the Jazz. Therefore, regardless of whether he holds the ball or shoots, my defense against him must be full of oppression, because this can interfere with the fight.

The Jazz's tactical execution, although they have previously shown that they can play without relying on Stockton's organization, in the end they still have to rely on Stockton's organizational ability to play after entering the fourth quarter.

, so I can no longer relax my defense against Stockton. I just want to guard him until he has a psychological breakdown.

Of course, Stockton's psychological quality is not that bad. Even though I have been very crazy to press and defend him, he still maintains a calm face. Of course, I know that all this is actually just a disguise by him.

It's just an illusion. Stockton's true thoughts now must be quite uncomfortable. He must find my defense very annoying. It's just that he doesn't want me to know his true thoughts, so he deliberately puts all his true thoughts out of his mind.

It's just disguised.

But as long as I can cause trouble for Stockton and the Jazz, it's enough. It doesn't matter whether they show it or not. What matters is that their progress has been greatly negatively affected by my defense.

Stockton is originally very calm when handling the ball. I know that he often uses his peripheral vision to observe to understand where his teammates will appear and where they may appear.

His passing is often predictable, and this predictability allows him to get many opportunities and create many opportunities for his teammates.

Under my defense, I can make him focus more on how to get rid of my defense, so that Stockton has no more energy to think about how to pass the ball to his teammates.

, how can I create better offensive opportunities for my teammates? Of course, this kind of defense is also a great test for my physical fitness, but fortunately, I have now passed the most uncomfortable extreme state.

My physical fitness is very good, so the peak appears much later than ordinary players, but once the peak comes, it will still be very uncomfortable, and it will even make me feel like dying.

, but when this feeling is finally over, I will regain a sense of new life, and my breathing will no longer be as rapid and difficult as when it reaches the extreme.

At this time, I have already passed the extreme point, so I don’t have to worry about my physical fitness.

The arrival of the limit has caused huge trouble for myself. Of course, no one's physical fitness can have no upper limit. Even if my physical fitness is very good, there will still be a maximum limit, but in normal competitions

Such a maximum limit will not be easily reached. I believe that my current physical condition is still a long way from reaching that maximum limit.

Because Stockton encountered my crazy entanglement on the defensive end, the Jazz's offensive tactics have been unable to be fully utilized, which greatly slowed down their offensive rhythm. Our Lakers successfully made the Jazz gradually lose

Control the rhythm of the game on the field.

Basketball games often focus on the rhythm of the game, and this requires players to control it on the court, because rhythm is invisible and intangible after all, and only some players can pass it.

Constantly play to feel and understand the existence of this rhythm, and be very clear about the huge impact these rhythms will have on the progress of the entire game.

Often times, things that are invisible and intangible will become the factors that have the greatest impact on everything we see, and these factors may be difficult to describe in detail.

Just like during a timeout, your head coach can tell you how to run tactics and how to cooperate with your teammates, but it is difficult to tell you how to control the rhythm of the game on the basketball court, because rhythm is really

It is relatively abstract and cannot be described directly using language.

But the influence of rhythm on the basketball court is often greater than the impact of the team's tactics itself. This is why many top point guards are so important. They can use their talents on the court.

Or experience, to control the rhythm of the game on the court, whether it is the offensive or defensive end. Of course, the point guard mainly controls the rhythm of the offensive end, while center players often control the rhythm of the defensive end.

Of course, sometimes this is not necessarily fixed. There are also many times when the person who controls the rhythm on the offensive end is not a point guard, and sometimes the person who controls the rhythm of the game on the defensive end is not a center. It all depends.

Different teams, when facing different opponents, use different tactical systems and make adjustments in each game.

Among the Jazz, it is obvious that Stockton is the one who controls the rhythm of the Jazz's offensive and defensive ends at the same time. He is the real brains of the Jazz on the court, and head coach Jerry Sloan is their leader off the court.

The brains of these two people worked together to make the Jazz a feared team. Their home court is known as the devil's home court. Countless teams were defeated by them in their home court. Our Lakers have also been defeated.

Such bad luck.

But today, all this may not happen again. I believe that as long as our Lakers players work hard enough, as long as we make the right choices when facing them, we will have a certain chance to defeat them, regardless of this

No matter how slim the opportunity is, we will make every effort to fight for it.

In fact, the Jazz's condition after replacing the starting players is not particularly good, at least the current situation looks like this. Our Lakers' starting players have improved their condition a lot at this time.

We didn’t lose to the Jazz at all on the court, maybe because our previous game with the Jazz had adjusted our mental state. I found that as long as our Lakers players faced the Jazz players,

If it's not bad mentally, it won't be much different in the actual game.

Especially when facing Stockton's defense, I have scored several goals in a row, and these goals of mine have been completed in extremely difficult situations. This is very important for the Jazz.

The defensive system caused a relatively big impact. After all, the time before the end of the game was getting less and less, and our Lakers had already unknowingly evened the point difference.

At this time, half of the fourth quarter has passed, and it is hard to say what will happen in the remaining half of the time. The Jazz home court, which originally had a relatively good atmosphere, has fallen into silence at this time.

Okay, you have to know that we have seen such silence before. It was the last time we visited the home court of the Jazz. At that time, we fell behind in the first half.

We were 30 points behind, and then we were chasing points like crazy in the second half, almost reversing the score. I remember that the Jazz fans at home were very quiet at that time. That kind of quietness was simply indescribable. It gave people such a feeling.

It felt like the home fans were suddenly stunned by a situation that they had never seen before.

Of course, we still had Shaq in the Lakers lineup at that time. Now that we are in this situation again, we no longer have Shaq. I don’t know if our Lakers really win this game.

What would Shaq think?

After all, winning is not terrible. It would be embarrassing if someone is missing. Of course, with Shaq's character, he may not feel that there is anything to be embarrassed about. After all, many times he doesn't particularly care about these things. Whether he is important to the team's victory or not

exhaust

Guan still cares about it, but obviously not as much as I do.

Basketball is not the only choice in Shaq's life. He really has too many choices. It is precisely because these too many choices distract his attention that there is no way for him to devote all his energy to it.

were all involved in the basketball game, so he failed to succeed

As the most powerful basketball player in history, if he could have half the effort and desire to survive as Kobe, perhaps Shaq's achievements would be directly comparable to the god of basketball, Michael Jordan, and maybe he would truly become a basketball legend.

The men of God are Shaquille O'Neal and Shaquille O'Neal.

But obviously he is unlikely to replace Jordan as the god of basketball. This is due to his personality. You must know that when Jordan was in middle school, he couldn't even stay on the school team and was expelled from the school team.

However, Jordan's character is the type that refuses to admit defeat at all, and this kind of blow makes him even more powerful.

The different attitudes that different players show when facing setbacks in life will ultimately determine where their life trajectories will go. Some people go very smoothly in the early stages of their lives, but in the second half of their lives,

It is more difficult, but for some people it will be more difficult in the first half of their lives, but they will become much smoother in the second half of their lives. This often depends on the choice you make in your life.

Or attitude.

The Jazz didn't call a timeout after we tied the score, because in fact they didn't have many timeouts. They might want to save more timeouts at the last moment of the game. Of course, in the next few minutes

It is a huge test of willpower for the players of both our teams.

Because the starting players on both sides basically have to play the game with extremely high intensity in the remaining game time, and every timeout is extra precious for our players.

, especially for our Lakers players.

Perhaps another reason why the Jazz are unwilling to call a timeout is that they want to directly wear down our physical fitness, because they know that our physical fitness has reached a limit state, and if it continues to delay, it will only harm us.

The Lakers were disadvantaged. Although we temporarily showed some relatively large counterattacks, they believed that our counterattacks would be weak. They did not want to call a timeout for us and did not want us to use timeouts to recover our physical fitness.

Of course, if the Jazz really thinks this way, I will definitely make them regret it, because no matter what the status of our other Lakers players on the court is, I only know that I have now passed the most uncomfortable stage, and now

The whole person's condition quickly recovered. This

In this state, I can quickly enter a state that they can't prevent. At this time, they may still have a chance if they call a timeout. If they don't call a timeout, I will definitely use my good attitude.

Maintain the state, and then defeat the Jazz in one breath.

The Jazz players on the court were not relaxed at this time. They definitely didn't think so much about why their head coach didn't call a timeout when our Lakers tied the score. What they saw in their eyes must be us, the Lakers.

The recovery of the team's state, especially the recovery of my state. Although they have been very targeted at me on the defensive end, they will find that their various targeted behaviors may not be able to completely block me. This will definitely

It caused some kind of psychological impact on them.

I can understand their current state and how they feel now, because before this, I have used my performance to put players on many teams into this state, and they will all doubt themselves.

Why do you feel so helpless when facing yourself?

Soon I used my actual actions to make Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan regret not calling a timeout.

In the next two minutes, I made shots from inside and outside. Under the hard double-teaming of many Jazz players, I scored ten points in a row. I averaged ten points per minute. What kind of scoring efficiency is this?

The key point is that this was achieved after they were heavily double-teamed by the Jazz.

At this point, no matter how hard they double-team me, they can't stop me from scoring. I'm completely crazy. I don't care whether there are one or several people defending me in front of me, or Stockton's little moves or

It was a foul committed by another Jazz player. All I knew was that I saw a hint of fear in their eyes, which was something I could hardly imagine before.

With the help of this wave of explosion, our Lakers successfully overtook the score and even expanded the lead to five points. In this way, the reality becomes very difficult for the Jazz players. They will have

What kind of real thoughts?

Finally, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout. I don't know if he regretted that he called the timeout almost two minutes late, or if he thought if he had called the timeout earlier.

If this timeout is called, the rookie player on the opposite team will not act so crazy. However, the reality is that nothing will change based on his personal thoughts.
