Reborn My Name Is Kobe
Chapter 136: Hard-won victory
During this timeout, the morale of our Lakers players has been completely lifted. No matter what happens next, our Lakers players already believe that their team can win the game. Now it is far away
There is not much time left at the end of the fourth quarter, and the Jazz, who were leading the game, are falling behind. This must be a big blow to them.
Many times we don’t feel sad because of things we don’t have, but we will definitely feel very sad because we once owned some things and then lost them. This is applicable to many places.
When the game started, the Jazz would never have thought that this game would turn out like this. Before the game started, they were probably still thinking about how to defeat the Lakers directly and send them into garbage time.
Well, in fact, they almost made us Lakers players believe this in the first quarter.
But then our Lakers players came together as one and finally regained the energy that should belong to us, making it less easy for the Jazz to succeed in their ambitions.
In the previous games, our Lakers have successfully dragged the game into garbage time or close to garbage time in the first three quarters. Of course we know how refreshing it feels to open the third quarter.
, but obviously we let them down today, preventing them from experiencing the joy of opening the third quarter, and instead they may face the fate of failure.
During this timeout, I felt that the whole person suddenly relaxed a lot, but I know that this is not the time to relax, because as long as the game is not over, everything may be rewritten. Now we are finally behind the whole audience.
After that, they took the lead, but the lead was only five points.
We cannot rely on this five-point advantage to compete. We need to use all our remaining strength to win as much as possible against the Jazz. In short, we must let the Jazz understand one thing, that is, our Lakers are
A very strong team is not afraid of them at all when facing them.
This psychological advantage is very important. It may not be obvious during the regular season, but once it comes to the playoffs, the psychological advantage will determine many things.
After returning from the timeout, the Jazz launched an attack. They obviously became more cautious on the offensive end. They should want to ensure the success rate of every attack, because at this time they have no more capital to waste.
In this first attack after the timeout, it is obvious that the Jazz have done a better job in offensive selection and ball sharing. The ball is no longer in the hands of a certain player, but in the hands of a certain player.
The whole team is involved in the offense, and their offensive tactics are also linked one by one, making our defensive players exhausted when defending and completely unaware of their true offensive intentions.
After the Jazz's offense was conducted about ten times, it was finally passed to Karl Malone who was cutting inside. Karl Malone dunked with both hands and slammed the ball into our Lakers' basket.
.
With the completion of his dunk, the emotions of the Jazz's home fans were finally reawakened after a while. They had probably been holding back for a long time in the second half of the game.
Well, at this moment, their team finally played a very exciting attack, which made the fans feel the strength and passion of the home team again.
Of course, after the ball was scored, our Lakers players did not react at all. Instead, they quickly handed the ball out. I held the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then handed it to Van Exel.
, Van Exel dribbled the ball outside for a few seconds and then passed the ball to Robert Horry.
At this time, I used SF's pick-and-roll to make a baseline cut inside. After Robert Horry saw me cutting inside, he immediately passed the ball to my hands, and I was receiving the ball.
After receiving the ball, he successfully completed this attack.
Robert Horry passed the ball quite well this time. He passed the ball with an appropriate amount of advance and guided my offensive line to attack. Our tactics in this offense are actually very simple, but because our Lakers were in
This tactic was not used much on the offensive end, so it was equivalent to catching the Jazz off guard.
They may have thought that I would attack more with the ball at this time, but they didn't expect that this time I would do the opposite, making them not notice my off-ball movements. In the end, we successfully completed this time
The offense brought the point difference back to five points again, and at this time there were only two minutes left before the end of the game.
The Jazz also gave the ball out quickly. Stockton only had the ball in his hands for a few seconds, and then they began to play organized team basketball again. The Jazz team
To be honest, basketball is relatively good in the entire league. The reason why we were able to hold on to the point difference today actually relies more on our mental strength, but there is another very important reason:
If you want to play against this Jazz team, sometimes
You really can't rely too much on the personal abilities of superstars.
On the contrary, if they play team basketball like their Jazz team, it is possible to have a back-and-forth game with them. This Jazz team is particularly good at suppressing the performance of the superstars of the other team. After the last game,
Shaq and I were very restrained.
Of course, since he is a superstar, he cannot be beaten to the ground by his opponent throughout the game. Whether it was the recovery of Shaq and I in the last game against the Jazz, or this time
My outburst after the second quarter during the game can prove that players who can truly become superstars still have some real ability and are not so easily blocked by their opponents.
In the next attack, the Jazz's playing style was similar to the previous attack, full of patience, and the tactical configuration should be said to be quite successful. They would use different tactics for each attack.
It just makes it impossible for us, the Lakers, to respond in a timely manner.
Of course, this is mainly because their players' overall tactical execution is very strong. When I completely blocked Stockton, the Jazz were still able to make enough changes.
With Tocton unable to organize, every Jazz player on the court became a pivot.
The previous game between the Lakers and the Rockets at home left a deep impression on me, because the Rockets players on the court at that time were also able to organize some games with each other.
, but the abilities displayed by the players of the Jazz now are still higher than those of the Rockets at that time, which has to be shocking, because if you want to have such a powerful tactical execution ability and the ability to adapt to the scene, it is really
It's not something that ordinary coaches can do.
The head coach of the Jazz, Jerry Sloan, is really a very good coach. I think that in the time and space of my previous life, he spent his whole life and failed to win a championship for the Jazz. This may be the regret of the old man's life.
Well, in fact, many very powerful players and coaches failed to win a championship ring in the end, because in addition to strength, winning a championship requires some luck.
Especially during the playoffs, there are many times when some originally strong teams suffer from widespread injuries, and sometimes opponents who could have been defeated failed to win due to referees or injuries.
The blow to the team and coach was huge.
The game is still in progress, and the Jazz cherish every offensive opportunity. The previous offense was completed by Karl Malone's inward dunk, and this time they are looking for a way for Hornacek to go.
There is a chance to shoot a three-pointer. After all, they are now five points behind our Lakers, and there is only about a minute and a half left in the game, so it is reasonable for them to want to try for a three-pointer.
Our Lakers have actually been working very hard to pursue Hornacek. This time the Jazz's three-point tactics are very obvious, but unfortunately our Lakers players have reached their physical limit at this time.
, so there will still be a little bit of difficulty on the defensive end. Even if our willpower is very strong and strong enough to ignore the pain caused by this lack of physical fitness, lack of physical fitness does not mean that we can rely only on willpower after all.
Problems that can be overcome.
When Hornacek caught the ball outside the three-point line, we knew it was too late to cover up the defense. We could only pray silently in our hearts that he would not make the three-pointer. However, just thinking about it, we didn't.
Any egg use.
Hornacek has always been a player with a big heart. Many times, the Jazz rely more on Hornacek's performance to win at critical moments. But at this time, Hornacek once again used his ability to win.
This characteristic was displayed when he made this very crucial three-pointer. After the three-pointer was made, the entire Jazz home court was in a state of excitement, as if he had made a winning three-pointer.
At this time, head coach Silver Fox Harris called a timeout. His timeout was quite timely, because after the three-pointer was made, the Jazz were only two points behind our Lakers. In this case
We cannot take it lightly, because once we are careless, what will happen to us next will be a very bad situation.
, the Jazz is a strong team with the ability to score continuously, and their tactical execution is excellent, so at critical moments their entire team will be very dangerous, and every point in their team can be scored.
It is a key ball, so in the next few offensive and defensive rounds, our two teams will compete with each other, and who will win the final victory?
During the timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris told me a lot, but I basically couldn't listen to it, because the more critical moments like this, the more I trust my intuition and my own judgment.
What the coach said is not that important, because I know that believing in yourself is the most important thing at critical moments. No matter what, I need to believe in my own abilities at any moment.
When the timeout ended, I got the ball to attack. I held the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. This time, the Jazz did not make any special moves on me.
There is not much defensive pressure. They must have been deeply impressed by my previous run without the ball. They must be thinking in what way I will complete such an attack.
At this time, time was passing by. I did not rush to complete my attack round because I knew that I could not eat hot tofu in a hurry. I had to suppress my impulses and those not-so-good thoughts.
What I need to do more is to be calm. When the only thing in my eyes is the opponent's basket, I will let myself enter a different mode from the normal state. In this mode, I may no longer be able to
It's not me anymore.
When the Jazz players started to double-team me, the time had already reached ten seconds, and the time for our Lakers' offensive round was about to run out, 10,9,8,6,5,
4. Time is running out.
And I was not particularly panicked. My whole state was a state of detachment. I knew what I was doing and what my opponents would do to me. They would definitely try their best to defend me, so I
All that needs to be done is to complete this attack, no matter what, I must complete this attack, I said to myself.
I used a cross step to get past the two Jazz defensive players, but I did not break through inside. When their bodies stepped back, I used a back step to go directly to a position one step beyond the three-point line.
Then take off and take action.
The difficulty of this shot is naturally very huge, and it was something that the Jazz had never imagined, because I have also made some difficult shots or difficult three-point shots before, but like this, a step-back shot from outside the three-point line,
At least in this era, it is extremely rare, but in my daily training, I have actually practiced shooting at these positions specifically to prepare for moments like this.
At this moment I became the key player that could determine the outcome of our two teams. I knew I should have the ball in my hands because I had the ability to do it all.
What is incredible is that this three-pointer was hit again, and with the hit of this three-pointer, my score in today's game unexpectedly reached 40 points. I scored 10 points in one breath in the second quarter.
Many points, and I scored more than ten points in the fourth quarter without knowing it. I don’t know how I scored so many points when my physical fitness was extremely exhausted.
This may be a miracle for other people, but I know it is not a miracle for me, because I have worked so hard for such a moment and the training I have done is so hard, so
I feel that I am worthy of such a harvest, and such moments are undoubtedly mine.
The Jazz could only call a timeout again. At this time, there was less than a minute left before the end of the game. The balance of victory once again tipped to our Lakers. After trailing for 43 minutes, we were 43 minutes away from the end of the fourth quarter.
In 5 minutes, the score difference was overtaken and gradually widened to 5 points.
And then our Lakers maintained this advantage until the last minute. Then the pressure will undoubtedly come to the Jazz, because this is their home court, so they will also face an additional force from
pressure from home fans.
I feel that this pause time passes very quickly, maybe because I feel a little drifting now. This is a state of being very focused on one point. In this state, my ability is really great.
It has been a very big improvement. This is not only an improvement in personal ability, but also an improvement in personal mental state. When my personal competitive state is so good, everything will become different.
The Jazz's offense after returning from the timeout will be very critical. If they can't score in this offense, then there is no doubt that our Lakers' chance of victory will be very high.
Stockton finally got the ball at the critical moment, but what they didn't know was how excited I was at this time. In this state, even Stockton
There is no way such a top ball-handling player can take advantage of my defense.
When I intercepted Stockton, I saw a trace of fear and confusion in Stockton's eyes. This was a look I had never seen in the entire game. When I intercepted Stockton directly,
When I had the ball in my hand, my mind was actually blank. Finally, I smashed the ball into the basket. To be honest, this feeling was so wonderful that I couldn't put it into words.
To describe it easily.
With a seven-point lead and less than 50 seconds left on the clock, are the Jazz sentenced to death?
Yes, I personally sentenced the Jazz to death. In the end, our Lakers won the game with a six-point advantage. When the game was over, I fell heavily to the ground. I won the game by myself.
Scored 46 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.
I fell heavily to the ground, and I couldn't seem to remember the rest of the things clearly. My brain was short of oxygen for a short time, and then I passed out.
