Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 158: The Final Suspense

An 8-0 climax shock wave quickly brought the entire game into a completely new state. The Timberwolves originally relied on Marbury at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

His outstanding performance still stabilized the entire situation on the court, and he was only one goal away from tying or even overtaking the score. At this moment, Marbury suddenly began to become the independent player again.

Worse, his attack was completely blocked by my one-man defense.

Originally, although my method was very good, I still couldn't say that I could completely block Marbury's offense all at once. What I have to say is that Marbury's luck suddenly became bad.

Up, several of his balls were about to enter the basket, but they suddenly spun out. Sometimes this kind of luck is so bad, in a person's life

There will always be a time when luck is so bad.

Sometimes our lives are like this. When things are going relatively smoothly, everything seems to be going smoothly, but once things start to go not so smoothly, everything seems not to be so smooth.

Yes, this situation will actually always exist.

Marbury is in such a situation now. Marbury is a bit depressed to say the least. His characteristic is that when things go well, he is very smooth. Once he starts to have bad luck, his luck will become quite bad.

For people in his situation, luck is not very stable.

Several of Marbury's balls were very close to entering the basket, but in the end, the basketball still staggered and slipped out. This happened several times, which made him now

He looks like he is going crazy. Of course, this cannot be entirely his fault. After all, if anyone encounters the situation he is experiencing now,

If so, I'm afraid everyone will go crazy. The score has now been extended to a full eight points. You must know that if the basketball went into the basket in these attacks, the score would be almost the same now.

Yes, when encountering this kind of situation, we can’t say that the Timberwolves’ strength is not that much inferior to ours. Sometimes luck is also a part of strength.

At this moment, about half of the game time in the fourth quarter has passed. Sometimes time passes very quickly. It feels like there are not many goals at all, but I find that the score has been opened all of a sudden.

, how come half the time has passed, and when you react at this time, it may be a little late, we still have to work hard

It is important to reflect on the state of your game. If we only focus on the things in front of us during the game, we may not notice many other very important things. In fact, important things on the basketball court are not

Not only hi, in addition to the situations that constantly occur on the basketball court, we also need to face some factors outside the basketball court.

In any case, when Shaq and Garnett came to the basketball court again, the score on the court had become more than ten points. At this time, Marbury had missed five consecutive shots.

It was a ball, and his teammates around him were quite annoyed by his crazy blacksmithing behavior. However, at this time, Marbury's own eyes became very special. He looked like he didn't care about him at all.

What other people were thinking, they looked really angry, but there was nothing they could do about Marbury.

After all, Garnett, the Wolf King, is the boss of this team. Of course, Marbury may not agree with everyone's point of view. The conflict between him and Garnett, the Wolf King, has been going on for a long time. The most important one is

A contradiction is who is the real boss of the Timberwolves team. To be honest, Marbury's character is not suitable for being a boss.

There is no problem at all. After all, his competitive personality can indeed lead the team to victory in many cases, but sometimes his personality may also lead to

The entire team is in a state of disintegration. In this process, someone actually needs to adjust it.

This is actually a bit like the relationship between Kobe and O'Neal. They both have strong personalities, and the most important point is that they need someone who can stabilize the two. In fact, there is such a person in the Lakers.

Yes, the one who served as the moisturizer between Kobe and O'Neal during the Lakers' three consecutive championships

The person who is the lubricant is actually Xiaoyu Fisher. You may not have thought of this at all, but in fact it is Xiaoyu Fisher who plays the role of integrating the two people. Xiaoyu Fisher

I have a very strong emotional intelligence, and his character has a kind of tenacity and wisdom that ordinary people can't imagine.

The Lakers are not a team that lacks talent and combat effectiveness. There are actually four or five All-Stars alone. Fighting in such a talented team is actually not necessary in many cases.

Players need such strong personal strength, but more importantly, they need you to have the ability to integrate.

In fact, including Phil Jackson, the head coach, he does not mean that his tactics are so powerful. The triangle offense is really invincible. What can really make the entire Lakers team so powerful is actually

Phil Jackson is good at integrating this team. Don't underestimate this ability to integrate the team. You must know that not everyone can solve this problem easily.

To integrate the entire team, the first thing needed is a kind of wisdom. Zen Master Phil Jackson. First of all, his nickname is Zen Master. What does Zen Master mean? It is a kind of thought and mental state, a kind of detachment.

Things in the physical realm are replaced by things in the physical realm, but such a spiritual thing is actually the most important existence in many cases. Do you know why this is?

Because generally speaking, a team like this actually does not lack these material things at all. From the perspective of the Lakers themselves as a wealthy team, this is a team that does not lack history and superstars.

, there is no shortage of money, no shortage of spectators and a ball market. The material things in such a place can even be said to be too much, so the Lakers no longer need to add anything more on this level.

Something.

The most critical point for the Lakers is actually Phil Jackson's personal charm and some of his special ways of using talents and managing the team. Under this very special management method, it actually plays a very special role.

This may be a so-called complementarity, but no matter what, Phil Jackson can lead Jordan to win six championship rings with the Bulls, which in itself has truly proved his personal ability.

Coaching ability, of course, this ability often does not necessarily mean how powerful the tactics are.

To be honest, in the past half season, judging from my contact with Silver Fox Harris, the current head coach of the Lakers, this guy's tactical ability is actually not bad at all. He is a very, very smart guy.

He can be so smart, and can even be said to be a little bit cunning. His cunning can already be seen from his nickname, Silver Fox, what is Silver Fox?

The fox is a very cunning guy, and the name Silver Fox is mainly because his hair has turned gray at this time. The nickname itself can fully explain some problems, that is, he

There is quite a lot of deceit in using tactics. He is a very smart guy who knows how to use different tactics to deal with his opponents at different times.

Marbury must put in all his efforts every time to score under my defense. After all, I also put in all my efforts when defending him. Of course, this also consumes a lot of time between Marbury and I.

Physical fitness, although our physical fitness is considered to be the best in the league, it is impossible to say that physical fitness has no impact on the shooting rate.

Marbury and I's offensive methods are the most energy-consuming, and many times we have to switch between offense and defense continuously. We have to continue the next offense or defense before we can catch our breath. In a short period of time,

You may not feel anything inside, but after five games, ten games, a month, or a season, the accumulation of fatigue may lead to chronic muscle damage, leading to great injury risks.

Van Exel holds the ball and wants to beat Marbury alone. In fact, this is a good choice. After all, Marbury's continuous scoring before the end of the third quarter consumes a lot of physical energy. At this time, if Van Exel is allowed to attack on the offensive end,

If we consume Marbury, we can win a more favorable situation on the court for our Lakers team.

Marbury's advantage on the defensive end is that he moves quickly and can easily keep up with defenders. He also has quick hands and can take the ball out of the attacker's hand before he can react. However, Iverson also has

He has some obvious weaknesses on the defensive end, among which his thin body and underweight are the most obvious shortcomings, and his height and wingspan are also weaknesses.

It's just that when he faced Van Exel, he didn't have the disadvantage of height and wingspan. He was mainly at a disadvantage in terms of weight. It's not that Iverson's strength was so weak. In fact, even though his

Absolute strength is not strong, but as the saying goes, speed is strength. Marbury, who lacks static strength, has top-notch dynamic strength because his speed is so fast. As long as his body moves

When it rises, it will be like a very fast cannonball, with amazing power.

It's just that on the defensive end, these dynamic forces will not be of much use. There is not enough space for him to accelerate and his strength will not be revealed. Therefore, if Van Exel uses his weight and static

If you have the strength to forcefully attack Marbury, you still have a considerable advantage.

This is what Van Exel did at this time. In order to prevent his dribbling from being easily taken away by Iverson, Van Exel lowered his center of gravity and kept the height of his dribbling at a very low position.

Then he turned his back and started to attack Marbury with a pig-arching post-up from near the free throw line.

Marbury lacked weight and static strength, and was pushed back repeatedly. He was always looking for opportunities to take out the ball. However, this time Van Exel was very smart and just protected the ball in a way that Marbury

His hands were always out of reach, and other players on our Lakers team also opened up space for him. Even Shaq retreated to the corner near the other time.

Because we opened up a lot of space for Van Exel, it is difficult for other Sixers players to support Iverson in time. The biggest problem is that the Sixers lack an inside line.

A strong rim-protecting center, if Shaq hadn't been affected by the number of fouls in this game, he would have overwhelmed the Sixers' inside line.

The Sixers players were afraid that Shaq or I would cut along the baseline, so they would always be very strict with our off-ball defense. Instead, they only let Marbury guard Axel alone.

Van Exel had been beaten several times by Marbury before, some of which were just for fun, which made him feel quite shameless in front of other teammates, so at this moment he was holding back his breath and going.

Hit Marbury a few.

Because our tactical arrangement is very effective, Van Exel has scored five points in a row over Marbury's head in three offensive rounds, including a two plus one, which on the one hand allowed him to lose the previous

I regained my face, and on the other hand, it also won some more space for our other Lakers teammates.

Sure enough, the Sixers then switched to using Stackhouse to defend Van Exel, which allowed Iverson to face off against me. I had an exchange with Van Exel, and he

He also agreed to let me play against Marbury on the defensive end. After all, the anger he was holding in his heart was released at this time, so there was no need to act out of anger anymore. He should do whatever is more beneficial to the team.

.

Now, after it became a matchup between Marbury and I, the desire in my heart rose again, and my determination to defeat Marbury on the playing field became stronger.

But obviously Marbury, who had already scored 20 points at this time, had completely overwhelmed me who only scored 16 points. However, I still cherish every matchup with him, every offense and defense, and what I left after this game.

The video will definitely become a very good material for me and a good teacher to help me move to a higher level.

How can Marbury's physical fitness be so good? I really don't want someone to score 30 points so easily above my head. For me, this would be a big shame.

But now it's my turn to score points under Marbury's defense. The game is not over yet. Of course, my 24 points still have a great chance to get more.

Facing Marbury's defense, I became more decisive. I knew that no matter whether he could intercept the ball from me, I should not hesitate. Since I have the advantage in height and wingspan, I should shoot more.

He is so good at dribbling and stealing, so I don't dribble or dribble as little as possible. At this time, it depends on which one of us has a higher shooting percentage.

In the following rounds, Marbury and I made various pull-up shots above each other's heads. It seemed that no one could completely affect the other's shots. Among them, I made a three-pointer and a mid-range shot.

shot, while Marbury only hit one mid-range shot. It is obvious that his touch

It has gradually declined with the decline in physical fitness.

Then the Timberwolves finally changed their defensive strategy towards me, and began to double-team me in advance and delay the ball. This was actually a trick that other teams often used against me when facing the Lakers, but the Timberwolves

They didn't start using me until the fourth quarter. I have to say that their tactics were indeed a bit too delayed.

But now that the Timberwolves have changed their defensive strategy, our offensive focus and tactical initiation must also be appropriately adjusted. I know that I will be double-teamed in advance after receiving the ball. Originally, this level of double-teaming is not good for me.

It doesn't have much impact, but I want

Reserve more physical fitness for tomorrow's game with the Celtics, so I chose to play without the ball to deal with the double-teaming of the Timberwolves, and let Van Exel be responsible for holding the ball and advancing again.

I used Shaq's high pick-and-roll to find open opportunities to catch and shoot.

It's a pity that Van Exel's passing awareness and passing accuracy are really poor. Many times I have had good opportunities to catch and shoot in open spaces, but this guy just can't pass the ball in time.

It came into my hands and I missed the opportunity to score. Faced with this situation, I could only shake my head.

Fortunately, after entering the fourth quarter, the entire Timberwolves fell into a long scoring drought. It's not that our defensive intensity has improved tremendously. In fact, our defense is still about the same as before, even because of the lack of physical fitness.

The reason has already declined to a considerable extent. It's just that the Timberwolves' own shooting percentage has dropped too much. Many difficult shots that could be hit before have now become good opportunities and cannot be made.

.

In fact, this situation often occurs in the game. No one can guarantee that they will have a good shooting feeling throughout the whole game. It is very likely that they will be amazing in the first half and then amazing in the second half, even the top scorer.

There will also be times when you are in good shape and times when you are in bad shape.

No matter what, we, the Lakers, must take advantage of this period of downturn in the overall state of the Timberwolves and try to open up the score. Now that I have been taken care of by the Timberwolves, it is time to shift the focus of the offense to Shaq.

.

Shaq himself may have thought so too. As the Timberwolves' defense expanded, Shaq easily got the chance to take a key position in the paint. At the beginning, Van Exel was too hesitant to pass the ball.

, so I simply asked Shaq to pass the ball to me directly. If they dare to continue to double-team me in advance, let Shaq directly go to the deepest place inside the Timberwolves to get the ball. I will pass the ball to me as soon as possible.

Pass it to him.

Shaq's power is indeed unmatched by anyone. The Timberwolves, who don't have any strong inside players, are completely unable to guard against Shaq at this time. They keep dunking on the ground, turning around and dunking, and hitting hook shots with both hands.

, or directly from the free throw line, crushing people into the paint, even if there are several people under the basket working hard to help defend, there is no way to stop Shaq who is completely explosive.

In less than five minutes, relying on Shaq's invincibility, we beat the Timberwolves 17-4 in one breath. During this period, the Timberwolves also called a timeout to ease the situation on the court, but it was completely destroyed.

Shaq, who was red-eyed, didn't talk so much. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, he fully demonstrated his god-like bravery, beating the Timberwolves inside without any armor.

At this time, we were already leading the Timberwolves by more than ten points, and there were only about 3 minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter. The situation on the court seemed to be completely one-sided. Our Lakers team

The players' eyes already showed a look of victory in sight, but I knew that the Timberwolves would definitely launch a counterattack before the end of the fourth quarter. I could see this from Marbury's eyes at this time.

.

Marbury's score at this time has reached 26 points, only 4 points away from 30 points. Facing my full defense, Marbury no longer retains his strength. Facing the front and back interceptions of me and Shaq, Marbury

Brie didn't show any timidity at all, but his dribbling became more and more skillful.

After being familiar with each other for a whole game, Marbury also had a certain understanding of my defensive habits. He knew that I would let him shoot appropriately and focus on defending his breakthrough on the right side, and I

Many times, I deliberately let him break through to the inside easily, and then join Shaq

We worked together to double-team him. In the first half, he scored two or three incredible goals against Shaq and I's defense. However, as his physical strength was depleted, it was impossible to score such goals again.

This is an extremely difficult thing, so at this time he has become smarter on the offensive end.

Once he realizes that I am retreating a little too far from his defense, he will immediately take a pull-up jump shot. Whether it is a two-pointer or a three-pointer, he will take it without hesitation. This is the same as when he did it in the first half.

Most of the offensive options are breakthrough layups, which is a big difference. I still maintain the original strategy for his defense. Of course, if he can score several goals in front of me in a row, then I will still consider changing it.

Think about your defensive strategy.

However, Marbury hit two consecutive pull-up jumpers in front of me, a two-pointer and a three-pointer, instantly raising his own score to 31 points.

In his first regular season match, he became the opponent.

A record-breaking background, but my statistics in this game are actually quite good. With less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter, my score reached 22 points, and Shaq's score was 22 points and 15 points.

rebounds, more than half of which are offensive rebounds.

Shaq can do whatever he wants in the Timberwolves' interior, and no one can stop him. If he hadn't been affected by the number of fouls in the first half of the game, I guess he might even have easily scored 30 points and 20 rebounds in this game.

the above data.

Of course, the reason why the statistics of both sides in this game are quite impressive is mainly because the offensive rhythm of both sides in this game is extremely fast. With less than six minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter, the scores of both sides have reached 105 to 97.

Our Lakers currently lead by 8 points.

If we maintain the previous offensive rhythm and shooting percentage, our Lakers' score may even reach more than 120 points after the end of the fourth quarter. This score can be said to be quite high in this era.

I'm a little depressed now. Originally, the score between the two sides had reached more than 10 points. However, with Marbury's consecutive scoring, the score between the two sides was pulled to within 10 points. This left us main players without
