Reborn My Name Is Kobe

In the last few minutes of the third quarter, the Lakers' substitute players performed quite well and played some very beautiful combinations. However, the Timberwolves were actually unwilling to lag behind. Their substitute players soon took the field.

The momentum was restored, and the score was already close to 15 points behind, but at this time, their substitute players suddenly became more accurate from outside the three-point line.

The Timberwolves missed a three-point shot, and things became different. The Timberwolves actually had many opportunities from the outside before, but they failed to grasp them. After all, three-pointers are the fastest way to score points. You must first prevent the opponent from attacking.

Then he chases and shoots a three-pointer, and there is a five-point or even six-point difference between inside and outside.

Although our Lakers bench players were still able to maintain a certain shooting percentage on the offensive end, they were still unable to shoot open three-pointers from the outside. Moreover, the Timberwolves bench players had an excellent awareness of protecting defensive rebounds and did not allow them to miss.

Our Lakers got a good second offensive opportunity.

Shaq can still grab some secondary offensive rebounds when he is on the court, but it is still a bit difficult for the current Lakers backup center to grab as many offensive rebounds in the paint as Shaq.

.

The Timberwolves took advantage of their good rebound protection and quickly launched several very powerful counterattacks. Many of these counterattacks either directly hit the inside and caused damage, or they looked for three-point shooting opportunities.

What I didn't expect was that the Timberwolves scored 11 consecutive points in the last two or three minutes of the third quarter, including three three-pointers and two free throws. Our Lakers scored 6 points in these three minutes.

This reduced the Timberwolves' deficit from 13 points to only 7 points.

In this way, after the third quarter, our Lakers' lead was only single digits, and it seemed that the Timberwolves were still unwilling to give up their efforts.

Maybe the head coach of the Timberwolves has the idea of ​​​​letting go, but these players, especially the substitutes, are quite tenacious and have no intention of giving up the opportunity to fight our Lakers to the end.

It can be said that we will be able to play two games with the Timberwolves in total this season, one is at home and the other is away. For the fans here, this is the only opportunity to play at their home court this season.

Witness these two giant teams fighting again.

No matter what the current situation of these two teams is, for fans, the showdown between these two teams has a sense of destiny, full of fans' feelings and memories, and is not just a simple battle between each other.

It's just a competition, but a kind of nostalgia for the glory of the past and expectations for a new future.

Fans of these two teams are undoubtedly lucky. Being able to become fans of such two great teams can give them great psychological satisfaction. Whether it is the Los Angeles Lakers or the Timberwolves, they each

The temperaments represented are different, but they all have one thing, that is, there is a domineering spirit of dominating the world over anyone else. Looking at the championship flags floating above the home courts of the two teams and the retired jersey numbers,

Witness the greatness of these two teams together.

After the third quarter, head coach Silver Fox Harris was a little annoyed because the score that had just been opened was now being chased back by the Timberwolves. However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he certainly could not replace the main players.

, at least let the main players rest for about three minutes, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee sufficient physical fitness and shooting percentage at the last moment during back-to-back away games.

I sat on the sidelines and looked at the audience around me. I finally saw Jessica in the crowd. When I saw her, a big stone in my heart suddenly dropped. It seemed like she was fine. She looked like this.

I feel relieved. Next, I will play this last quarter of the game well and bring Jessica a victory.

After the start of the fourth quarter, our Lakers team took the lead to serve. Now it is our Lakers' turn to stabilize the offensive rhythm and work hard to find the best offensive opportunities. Head coach Silver Fox Harris has asked the team not to play too fast.

, try to consume the 24 seconds of attack time, and then just wait until the starting players come on the field.

It is actually the right choice for head coach Silver Fox Harris to adopt such tactics at this time. After all, the Timberwolves are still lagging behind at this time, and their substitute players are playing well, so the substitute players are still playing on the field.

During the game, several of their players had already made three-pointers before, so they had to change their strategy on the defensive end.

The Timberwolves probably also wanted to catch up with the lagging score in one go, so when they saw our Lakers players on the court pressing the tempo, they started to get a little impatient and wanted to use more proactive defense to steal us.

Lakers dribble.

However, sometimes on the basketball court, the more impatient you are, the less likely you are to achieve good results. Mistakes are often related to the impatience of the players, and this kind of steal is actually a gambling defense. In the past, our Lakers

Just made this mistake.

At this time, it was finally the Timberwolves' turn to make such a mistake. I found that they had many opportunities on the defensive end due to steals and early double-teams. The Lakers players on the field also discovered this, especially Eddie.

Jones, he performed quite well in this game, and now it's finally his time to show off his power.

In fact, Eddie Jones's individual singles and individual dribbling abilities are quite good. After all, he is a quasi-All-Star player. To be honest, it is a bit of a waste to let him play as a substitute, but I think he can compete after this season.

The league's best sixth man.

The team really needs a strong substitute sixth man like him who can lead the team's substitutes through a very critical period of the game.

In fact, Eddie Jones has performed quite well in recent games as a substitute. At least he can really help the team on the offensive end.

Eddie Jones found a gap on the Celtics' defensive end and passed two Timberwolves defensive players with the ball. These defensive players had previously focused on Eddie Jones' ball. For Eddie Jones

There was not much mental preparation for his fake moves, and Eddie Jones's fake moves were very fast.

If you are not familiar with him, it is indeed easy to catch Eddie Jones's fake moves.

Relying on realistic fake moves, Eddie Jones easily broke into the penalty area. The Timberwolves center player in the penalty area wanted to come over and block him, but Eddie Jones had already thrown the ball high.

Flying toward the basket in a very high arc.

With such a flying arc, no one could block the shot. The Timberwolves center could only watch helplessly as the basketball fell into the basket at an extremely high arc in the air.

Eddie Jones's shot was very beautiful, winning rounds of applause from our Lakers bench, and also slightly stabilizing the momentum on the court.

The Timberwolves have been unable to open up the situation, and other players on the court have begun to become a little impatient. The more impatient they are, the better it is for us, the Lakers.

However, Eddie Jones's good touch did not last long. The Timberwolves' defensive intensity had already increased at this time. Although they were just some substitute players, after all, they were very motivated on the defensive end. Eddie Jones was not able to take it easy every time.

to break through the opponent's defense.

When Eddie Jones planned to use his dribbling and direction changes to break through the Timberwolves' forward defense, a Timberwolves defender suddenly rushed out from nowhere and directly used a flying dive to knock the ball out of Eddie Jones' hands.

He snatched it away and passed it directly to the Timberwolves players who were already on a fast break.

The Timberwolves players have a good sense of fast break. When the guard just saved the ball, the fast break player was already ready to start. At this time, he had completely thrown away our Lakers defensive players and received the ball from the guard.

After passing the long-distance ball, he directly completed this very easy dunk with a dunk.

The atmosphere of the North Shore Garden Arena has become lively again. It can be said that the audience in this venue is quite impressive. Every time the Timberwolves players play exquisite coordination or wonderful goals, there will be a very intense atmosphere.

The applause rang out to encourage and cheer up the home Timberwolves players.

Time passed very quickly. Almost three minutes had passed since the start of the fourth quarter. At this time, the two sides were still playing inextricably on the court, because the point difference between the two sides was still about five points, and the Timberwolves were not able to catch up.

Come back a lot, so our head coach Silver Fox Harris of the Lakers is also sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai at this time, with no intention of calling timeout or substitution at all. With his appearance, I think he really seems to be a bit like a head coach.

He looks good, but not in every game he can appear wiser, and he cannot completely control the game at his own pace like an old coach like Popovich.

The Lakers starters on the bench, watching the bench players playing, all had the urge to return to the court to play. It seemed that the fatigue from before had disappeared. Among them

Shaq seemed the most excited. At this time, he returned to his usual appearance. He stood in the audience and kept shouting and waving his arms. I didn’t know what he was talking about because my attention was also focused on it.

Not listening to what he said.

Finally, with seven and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter, head coach Silver Fox Harris called a timeout. At this time, the Timberwolves used two consecutive fast break counterattacks to temporarily close the score.

Back with only 1 point left, it was almost time to bring on the main players.

To be honest, although our Lakers bench players were not able to completely withstand the Celtics bench chasing points in the few minutes from the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, they actually performed very well.

I think Byron Scott's performance in this game was a bit of an example for an old player.

The next game will be left to our Lakers starters who have recovered a lot of physical fitness. Originally, the strongest lineup of our Lakers usually replaced Eddie Jones and played together at the last moment, but Eddie Jones has played continuously.

After such a long time, he should be allowed to rest. If the score is not opened in the last two or three minutes, he may be replaced on the court to form the strongest five-man lineup of our Lakers team, and then go

Defeat the Celtics once and for all.

During the timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris repeatedly emphasized defense. Of course we also realized that if we want to defeat this Timberwolves team, we cannot rely on tenacious defense. Anyway, it has entered the final moment of the game.

, there is no need to paddle on the defensive end in order to save physical energy. The substitute players bought us such a long rest time just to allow us to exert our power at the end.

Of course I know this. After the timeout ended, the mental state of our Lakers starters took on a new look. Both the offensive and defensive ends were much more active than before.

The Celtics also replaced their starters at this time. Their starters also took a long break, but their personal abilities are indeed much worse than ours.

The most critical point is that many players on their team are rookies in the past few years. They do not have enough experience in the game, and their ability to make key shots is also a bit lacking. Therefore, if it comes down to the last minute, it will definitely still be our Lakers team.

This side can have quite an advantage.

After I came on the court, I worked hard to cooperate with Shaq in the high pick-and-roll. At this time, Shaq was also very cooperative with my offense. He took the initiative to come over to me for the pick-and-roll, and then quickly moved down. At this time, our cooperation

It's very subtle. Basically, I will pass the ball as soon as I get the opportunity, and the ball will not stay too long in my hands.

In fact, the Timberwolves' defense is too fast. Whether I hold the ball for too long or Shaq catches the ball too slowly, it is a very bad thing for our offense, so I speed up myself.

With the rhythm of dribbling and passing, Shaq also speeds up his cutting speed. In fact, he can indeed reach a very fast speed. As long as he doesn't slack off, there are really not many people who can really prevent Shaq's cutting inside.

.

An ordinary player would retreat a long distance when pushed by Shaq. Such a terrifying Shaq had to have several people pushing and squeezing him together before they could barely push him a little away from the penalty area.

At this time, there were not so many players in the Timberwolves who could react. Shaq made a quick pass, and then after receiving my air pass, he jumped high. After he jumped, his head was already close to the basket.

The position of the basket, and then the long arm suddenly exceeded the length of the basket by an entire arm, and smashed the ball directly into the basket from the air.

I know Shaq can jump so high, so the passes are basically at a height that only he can catch.

Shaq weighs so much but has such a terrifying bounce. The most important thing is that he can jump so high when he takes off on the spot, and the bounce speed is also very amazing. His arms are as thick as someone's thighs, and his

The thighs are as thick as someone's waist. The terrifying muscle strength and amazing motor reaction nerves make Shaq a terrifying existence that is much beyond normal people.

In history, it is probably difficult to find an inside player with such terrifying dynamic and static talents. If you think about it, only Chamberlain and Zhang Shuai, the emperor of basketball, can even compare with him.

But what I have to say is that maybe Chamberlain is really not worse than Shaq in terms of athletic ability, that is, his weight is a little worse than Shaq. You must know that Chamberlain's high jump, sprint, long-distance running, and long jump are all top-notch, and he can even directly

Shaq cannot do this at the level of participating in the Olympics.

Moreover, Chamberlain's strength is also extremely terrifying. His bench press weight is no worse than Shaq's. He may not be as explosive as Shaq, but in terms of absolute strength, Chamberlain should be as good as Shaq. Secondly, in terms of height and wingspan, the two of them are basically the same.

They are all the same, even Chamberlain's shoulder width is not inferior to Shaq's, and Chamberlain even has a slight advantage in terms of arm length.

In terms of dynamic athletic ability, Chamberlain is no worse than Shaq. In terms of static strength, Chamberlain is no worse than Shaq. In terms of technical comparison, Chamberlain's free throw shooting rate is on the same level as Shaq's.

The league even issued a rule that prohibited dunks from the free throw line as free throws. This rule only restricted Chamberlain, because in that era, the only person who could dunk from the free throw line as a free throw was Chamberlain.

Chamberlain is also better than Shaq in terms of blocking, defense and passing. Chamberlain was even elected as the league's assists leader for one season. As long as he wants, he can become an extremely comprehensive player, and he can even block sky hooks continuously.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's two shots were only blocked a few times in his career. Chamberlain was already in the later stages of his career at that time, which is enough to show the horror of Chamberlain.

Of course, many people may think that Shaq's game has a stronger visual impact, so they think that Shaq's inside dominance is stronger than Chamberlain's. This is true. Shaq's finishing ability after getting the ball in the penalty area is indeed stronger than Chamberlain's.

Chamberlain's attack methods and shooting percentage at the basket are actually not as good as Shaq's, and even his hook shot and footwork at the basket are not as good as Shaq's.

But Chamberlain is much more comprehensive than Shaq. He is better than Shaq in terms of offense, defense and rebounding, especially in rebounding. He averaged more than 20 rebounds per game in his career, which is far more than anyone else.

Well, in this regard, Shaq can actually grab more rebounds, but Shaq's shortcoming is that he is lazy.

The most important point is that Shaq's physical fitness is much worse than Chamberlain. In the season with the most playing time, Chamberlain averaged 48.5 minutes per game, averaging 50 points and 25 rebounds per game. This data is absolutely unprecedented.

Or, no matter how you think about it, there will never be an inside player who can score such data in the future.

After all, with the changes of the times, basketball games are paying more and more attention to three-pointers. In this way, inside players will gradually be marginalized in the future, especially in the offensive tactical position, they will be replaced by defenders and strikers. In this way, they will think

It is naturally impossible to obtain such horrific data.

Shaq is already the strongest inside giant in the modern NBA. Especially in terms of inside dominance, he is also the strongest in NBA history. Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Olajuwon are not as powerful as Shaq.

With this kind of inside dominance, he can easily dunk several defensive players, which only Shaq can do.

Because this internal and external connection between Shaq and I directly brought out the entire momentum of our Lakers team on the court, but the enthusiasm of the Celtics home fans suddenly seemed to be poured with cold water.

, after the noise subsided, the momentum on the court was already biased towards our Lakers side.

We also started to work hard on the defensive end. First of all, Shaq finally started to guard out. Before, he would retreat when picking and rolling. Now, he will judge whether to retreat or switch defense based on the situation. In short, Shaq's defense

Become more motivated.

When Shaq's enthusiasm for the game increases, the enthusiasm of other Lakers players will naturally increase. We added more physical confrontation on the defensive end. Although there is still a home whistle in Boston in this game,

Generally speaking, the overall whistle sound is relatively loose, which encourages both sides to engage in physical confrontation.

The game atmosphere of this era encourages physical confrontation, and referees will not call ordinary small actions at all. I was a little unaccustomed to this at the beginning. In fact, Kobe's 18-year-old body is still a bit thin, especially during the season.

When I first started, I suffered a lot because my body was too thin.
