Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 153: Maintain the situation

The halftime break ended quickly, and I returned from my meditative state to the real world. Now the third quarter of our game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves is about to begin. For us,

Having a lead of more than ten minutes at halftime has helped us gain some psychological advantages, but in fact the advantage our Lakers have over the Timberwolves is far from a psychological advantage.

Or you can think of it this way, our Lakers team is much stronger than the Timberwolves, so we can maintain a sufficient psychological advantage when facing the Timberwolves. Sometimes this psychological advantage can be quickly converted.

It becomes a situational advantage, and if we can obtain this situational advantage, what will follow will be a snowball rolling, gradually increasing our team's hope of winning.

After the third quarter, the Timberwolves took the lead in attacking. After the start of the second half, they began to use more tactics to increase their proportion of the game. Of course, in fact, this is actually inevitable for the Timberwolves.

Changes, because if they still rely on the current tactics, they will definitely not be able to compete with our Lakers, and this game will soon lose suspense.

With this in mind, our Lakers have also made some more targeted adjustments on the defensive end. The most important part of these adjustments is actually to allow our Lakers players to follow the players more on the defensive end, instead of just following them.

The ball, because if your attention is on the ball instead of the person you are guarding on the playing field, there will actually be a bigger problem.

Really experienced players or coaches will understand this truth, that is, the defensive end must keep an eye on the player you are guarding. Only in this way can your entire team defend.

After the start of the second half, the Timberwolves mainly concentrated the ball in Marbury's hands, and then asked Marbury and Garnett to perform high pick-and-rolls. The effect of these two high-post pick-and-rolls is actually quite good, especially

Considering that the Lakers really want to find a way to defend their pick-and-roll, it will still be difficult.

As for how our Lakers should defend Marbury and Garnett's pick-and-roll offense, our head coach of the Lakers doesn't have a particularly good way yet, but I believe we can still find some opportunities in the future.

.

The competition is like this. It is conducted between constant competition and learning. No one can understand their own status or competition strength after coming up. It is all through the process of continuous competition and continuous thinking.

, to gradually improve your own game level.

In the following period, our Lakers' on-court situation began to maintain a relatively stable state with the Timberwolves. After they changed their offensive methods, they did perform much better than before.

For this reason, it is also necessary for our Lakers team to change our defensive strategy.

But in fact, our initial change of defensive strategy did not have much effect. After all, our Lakers players still have certain deficiencies in tactical execution. If our Lakers players really have such powerful tactics,

If we improve our execution, we will gain greater on-court dominance in many games. There is no doubt about it.

The game soon entered a stalemate stage. The combination of Shaq and I can actually use the pick-and-roll very well to find opportunities. But how should I put it? The pick-and-roll of Shaq and I is different from the Timberwolves'

There will still be a certain difference in the pick-and-roll methods between the two players, but this difference sometimes manifests itself differently.

The pick-and-roll between me and Shaq often requires Shaq to cut inside, or I make a breakthrough pass to him for an alley-oop, or I pass the ball directly to him to cut inside, or I use the pick-and-roll to directly shoot from the outside. Of course, the basic tactics at the beginning

It's like this, but as our Lakers games gradually increase, now there are many more tactical changes that can occur after the pick-and-roll between Shaq and I.

In this case, not only Shaq and I participate in the offensive end of the game, but more often, other Lakers players can be driven to participate in the entire game process. In this process, we Lakers

As long as the players on the team can display their personal strength to a greater extent, then they are pretty good.

Of course, the main offensive core is me and Shaq, so the cooperation between me and Shaq and the performance of me and Shaq determine to a large extent the quality of our Lakers game. Only Shaq and I maintain a very high level.

Only with tacit understanding can our Lakers' offense truly reach a relatively high level.

In the following games, Shaq and I continued to rely on our strong dominance to continuously attack the Timberwolves' inside line on the offensive end. In fact, although Garnett's defensive ability is still good, whether it is single defense

He is still very good in helping defense, but when he encounters a guy like Shaq, he seems a little uncomfortable.

Because in fact Shaq's personal offense is too powerful, it is impossible for Garnett to use single defense to defend Shaq. In this case, Shaq needs

What he does is to constantly attack the Timberwolves' inside line and put pressure on the Timberwolves.

It can be seen that Garnett, the wolf king, is very unwilling to defend or match up with Shaq. Whether it is the offensive or defensive end, as long as Shaq matches up with wolf king Garnett, he can defeat the wolf king.

Garnett felt very uncomfortable, and there was no way to hide this discomfort. Judging from the expression on Garnett's face and some of the body movements he made, he couldn't hide it.

But just letting Shaq open up alone is not enough. After all, Shaq's physical strength will have some problems after entering the second half. In fact, other players of the Timberwolves may start to attack on the offensive end.

To make some impact on Shaq, maybe he wanted to consume some of Shaq's physical energy.

However, when Shaq enters a relatively excited state, their consumption is of little significance, because Shaq may explode directly and produce huge and terrifying power.

Sometimes this kind of power is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

In the process of facing off against Shaq, Garnett will also look for more opportunities on the outside to fight against Shaq. Of course, he can see that Shaq actually has big problems or weaknesses on the defensive end.

Yes, Garnett's body weight is too light, and he is inferior to Shaq when it comes to frontal defense in the interior. However, Garnett's foot speed allows him to defend a larger area than Shaq.

This is Garnett's advantage. In fact, in the first half, the Timberwolves were not able to fully utilize these advantages of Garnett. If he could fully utilize these advantages, then

At this time, the game situation on the field may not be what it is now.

Faced with this situation, our Lakers team has gradually begun to consider making some adjustments on the defensive end, mainly to make some exchanges in defensive players. In fact, this era still does not have as advanced a rotation as the small ball era.

thinking, but some coaches have actually started some innovations in defensive tactics.

Our head coach of the Lakers, Silver Fox Harris, has actually begun to make some adjustments and reforms in this area, but it seems hard to say whether his adjustments and reforms can really have an effect.

But how can I put it this way, I think our Lakers have made some progress on the defensive end. This has been reflected from the situation at the beginning of the season to the current situation of our Lakers team, and

Such changes are actually very difficult. If we talk about how difficult it is to cultivate a team, I think the most difficult part is that every player in the team will have his own personality, and these players

Sometimes a player's personality does have a certain impact on the entire team.

In fact, in a sense, Marbury is not suitable for playing in the Timberwolves. His playing style determines that he needs blue-collar insiders around him, not an all-around player like Garnett.

Inside, because insiders like Garnett will have some very bad consequences when paired with Marbury. One of the reasons is that there is really no way to form a particularly good chemical reaction between them.

And this chemical reaction means that both of them can fully exert their true strengths. If there is no such situation, the two of them do not have this chemical reaction, which means that they will affect each other's strength.

The problem with performance is the biggest problem. If there is no way to solve this problem, then in the next situation, even if the Timberwolves can play some good shots through the players' personal abilities in a short period of time, it will still be

There is no way to maintain this state for a longer period of time.

The most important thing is that if there is no such chemical reaction, there is no way to expect them to play basketball with this effect. This is not something that can be achieved by simply talking about the chemical reaction. In fact, many times we

Players rely on instinct and conditioned reflexes when they are on the court.

Because the actual process of brain operation during competition is relatively simple, this time can reflect how important it is during training. If our training does not reach a certain level, then you

There is definitely no way to bring out your own strength in the game. This does not mean that your talent is particularly high. You can ignore this objective situation. To be honest, there are many highly talented players in the world.

The most indispensable thing in this league is talented players, but there are not many players who can truly realize their talents on the playing field. There are many, many reasons for this, but when it comes to these

The reason why people are unable to fully realize their talents may be due to some objective reasons on the playing field. More often than not, the root cause lies within themselves.

Of course, saying this may not be so fair in a sense. After all, there is only so much space for players in the league to perform. If some players perform particularly well, then there will be others accordingly.

Some players are not performing so well, and there is no way to change this. If you can find a way to change this situation, then you will definitely be able to find something different.

Marbury's positioning in the Timberwolves is actually a little embarrassing, because as an outside core, his passing ability and organizational ability are quite limited, so he actually plays more like a shooting guard.

However, his height and playing style prevent him from playing a completely efficient game at the shooting guard position. Therefore, although his scoring ability is very strong, it is all based on a large number of individual singles and some low efficiency.

In terms of offense, if this is the case, to be honest, there is really no way to promote the overall offensive state of the entire Timberwolves team.

Once Marbury gets a lot of the ball, the entire Timberwolves offense is actually at a standstill, because he has no way to pass the ball to his teammates who should get the ball in the first place. He seems a little uncomfortable.

He trusts his teammates, so his nickname of "Lone Wolf" is quite correct, because many things he shows are indeed like this. He is so independent that he wants the entire team.

They all compete around him, but obviously this is also difficult to do.

Because after all, if we only focus on him, he is not good enough in many aspects. If we do not focus on him, some of his specialties cannot be brought out. Therefore, players like Marbury, despite their great talents,

High, but he may not necessarily be particularly popular in the league. At least the upper limit of his team leadership ability must be very limited, because there are many laws of basketball that cannot be changed. It does not mean that you

If you have a particularly strong personal ability, you can beat other teams to the ground.

In fact, even Michael Jordan would not have been able to win the championship without the support of his teammates, so in this league you need to properly handle the relationship between you and your teammates. Of course, this may not always be the case.

Such a simple thing.

In the subsequent games, Marbury actually had some good performances on the offensive end. At least compared to the first half, his changes on the offensive end were mainly to become more determined. He may also want to

I actually don’t have that great organizational ability, so rather than focusing on aspects that aren’t that great,

To take action, it is better to give full play to his most advantageous aspects. In fact, his approach is correct, because if he does not do this, then he really has no way to do better.

Only by bringing out some of his own characteristics can it help the Timberwolves.

Of course, for our Lakers, it is impossible for Marbury to defeat us just by playing alone, so in fact, our Lakers players do not feel that there is anything too uncomfortable. On the contrary, when I defend Marbury, I will

He is not that aggressive. In fact, I plan to let him play more, which will destroy the chemical reaction of the Timberwolves even more.

In fact, this is a bit like the previous game between our Lakers and the 76ers, just like my matchup with Iverson. Although Iverson scored a full fifty points, their 76ers

The team lost the game in the end, so in a sense it really wasn’t about the players.

It doesn’t matter what his personal strength is, but his personal strength must be adapted to the entire team. If he has strong strength, but cannot convert this strength into the key to leading the team to victory, then

His strength actually doesn't have much value.

This is indeed true to a certain extent. Our Lakers still control the situation on the court at this time. Shaq and I already have a very tacit understanding on the offensive end. We don’t even need to go to the special ground in many cases.

Which tactics to run, because once a tacit understanding is established, it can play a certain role for a long time. It is for this reason that our Lakers team is actually quite successful.

At least Shaq and I don't need to develop special tactics for each other now. Many times we can pose a greater threat to our opponents just by relying on tacit understanding. To be honest, this is really not something other players can do.

It can be done easily.

The game is still going on. Just as we on the Lakers expected, when Marbury took control of the ball, some major problems began to appear in the tacit understanding and chemical reaction of the entire Timberwolves team, and the emergence of such problems

, allowing our Lakers to further seize the opportunity to expand the score.

In fact, the more impatient the Timberwolves are, the fewer opportunities they have. This is a mistake that many people tend to make, but we often like to make mistakes repeatedly. This is actually reflected in everyone.

Yes, in many cases it does not mean that we will not make mistakes if we want not to make mistakes, because everyone will make mistakes.
