Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Basketball games are actually like wars in a sense. Player morale has a greater impact on game victory sometimes than strength, although the strength of the Clippers is definitely far inferior to our Lakers.

team, but our lazy attitude towards the game allowed them, who had gone all out from the beginning, to see a chance to win. When the score between the two sides stretched to more than 10 points, Silver Fox Harris should make adjustments.

However, in fact, Silver Fox Harris did not feel like he was in good condition today. He usually talks a lot, but today he did not design tactics specifically, nor did he say any nonsense. Instead, he delegated power to the players themselves.

to perform.

After the first timeout, I didn't get a chance to play. Although I felt that if I were replaced at this time, I would definitely help the Lakers recover from the decline. However, Silver Fox Harris just insisted on the rotation plan he made before the game and made a few changes.

Neither is willing to do it.

I myself seemed a little listless. I felt bad when I saw my Lakers teammates on the court being bullied by opponents who were much weaker than me. As a result, the Lakers fell behind at the end of the first quarter.

The Clippers are 15 points ahead.

In fact, in the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers players had begun to wake up and their defensive enthusiasm was much better than before. However, several Clippers players had completely brought out their status. It can be said that almost everyone

Everyone played at a super level. In the first quarter, the Clippers' overall shooting percentage was over 70%. On the other hand, except for Shaq, whose shooting percentage was over 50%, none of the Lakers' shooting percentages even exceeded 33.

%of.

Finally, during the break, Silver Fox Harris once again began to instill his unique set of chicken soup for the soul into everyone. Anyway, I was not interested in his set of tricks at all. My attention was focused on sitting right now.

A few rows behind the Lakers bench, Jessica was sitting there. I saw her eyes were a little vacant and confused. I could only shake my head slightly and prepare to play after the start of the second quarter.

Shaq has been substituted. After the start of the second quarter, I led the Lakers' bench players on the court. In fact, the gap between the strength of the Clippers' main players and substitutes is not very big. Their playing time is relatively small.

On average, there should be no one who averages more than 30 minutes per game. It is for this reason that it is difficult for Silver Fox Harris to formulate a more targeted defensive and offensive strategy, because he does not understand the opponent's players at all.

To be honest, I entered the game very quickly today, but unfortunately, I failed to score twice when I broke through to the basket. Although it caused a foul on the opponent's defensive player, if I could score both times, it would be two.

Two plus one, the score gap between the two sides can be reduced to less than 10 points.

What was counterproductive was that the harder I tried to chase points, the bigger the score became. It turned out that the Lakers' bench was too weak. If we only looked at the strength of the starting players, the Lakers were definitely one of the top three teams in the league.

But except for me, who has the ability to score independently, all the other players on the bench, to put it bluntly, are at the level that even if they go to the CBA, they cannot play as the main force of the team.

Therefore, I could only choose to continue playing singles, and my teammates seemed a little frustrated when they saw me only focusing on my singles, and they were even more unwilling to contribute on the defensive end. As a result, the opponent's offense became worse and worse.

It was smooth, but our offense turned out to be more rigid.

But I have no choice. It’s not that I don’t have the idea of ​​passing the ball, but every time I pass the ball to an open teammate, they either hit the ball, or they are open and don’t take a shot and then rush inside to get cut.

Let the opponent launch a defensive counterattack.

I really felt that everything was too difficult. By the time Silver Fox Harris called timeout again, the Lakers were already 23 points behind the Clippers. This was a result that no one could have imagined before the game.

The entire Staples was silent. You must know that although this arena is nominally the home court shared by the Lakers and Clippers, in fact, because of the Lakers' historical achievements and accumulated popularity, the Clippers and Lakers

When the team plays here, it is equivalent to playing on the road, because the vast majority of fans in the stadium support the Lakers.

Before the half ended, the Lakers were beaten like this by the Clippers, who were two or three levels worse than themselves. No one as a Lakers fan could bear it, so after returning from the timeout, the Lakers encountered constant passing.

The boos come because they really performed too badly today and they only deserve such boos.

My personal performance was actually pretty decent. I made 5 of 10 shots and 6 free throws in the 8 minutes I played. I scored 16 points by myself. However, during this period, the Clippers scored nearly 30 points.

, in fact, apart from me, the other players on the Lakers bench scored 0 points on 0-for-8 shots and 0 free throws.

When I returned to the bench, I kept shaking my head. I didn't know where to vent my anger.

When the main force of the Lakers returned to the court, they still could not change the disadvantageous state established at the beginning of the game. After halftime, the Lakers trailed the Clippers by as much as 30 points.

In 24 minutes of two quarters, the Clippers scored 65 points, while the Lakers only scored

35 points. For the Lakers, who have three All-Stars in the starting lineup and one of them is a superstar, this performance seems a bit too absurd.

During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the locker room was extremely strange and dull. Everyone was speechless, including the head coach Yin Hu. His expression was gloomy and he seemed to be thinking about what words to use.

He came to criticize us, but after thinking about it for a long time, he gave up the plan. The more he didn't speak, the more uncomfortable it became for us players. It's like a child who makes a mistake but hopes that an adult will criticize him directly.

I don’t want adults to adopt this silent attitude, which will make people feel scared and uncomfortable.

But it was true that everyone was holding a fire in their hearts. No one believed that their performance in the first half would continue forever. At this time, everyone felt like they were united, even though no one used words.

It showed, but their eyes were much firmer than before the game started.

Sure enough, when the second half of the game started, the Lakers' level on both ends of the offense and defense was directly improved to the playoff level. On the other hand, the Clippers actually fought harder in the first half, but their physical talent after all

He was limited, and his physical fitness could not support the high-intensity investment for the entire four quarters, so the shooting percentage dropped off a cliff compared to the first half.

The Lakers immediately used a full-court press defense for 3 minutes after the start of the second half. The Clippers players, who were not particularly experienced in games and lacked personal strength, frequently made mistakes under the Lakers' mad-dog defense. Soon, in 3 minutes

In less than a minute, they were beaten 10-0 by the Lakers, and the score difference between the two sides instantly returned to 20 points.

The Clippers coach immediately stopped the game when he saw something was wrong. Head coach Silver Fox Harris suddenly regained his energy at this time. Obviously, the vitality shown by the players in the second half also affected him to some extent.

body, allowing him to return to his usual active state.

Of course, in my opinion, many of the tactics he mentioned are of no use at all, because our Lakers' tactical system on the court is often very simple. To put it bluntly, there are only three, one is the combination of inside and outside, the other is to open up singles, and

One is the high pick-and-roll, and other more complex tactics are actually for nothing. The more critical moments come, the more you need to rely on the player's personal ability. Anything else is nonsense.

At this time, I was also watching off the court gearing up, looking eager to try, but it was obvious that my playing time had not yet come, and the better the starting players performed, the less my playing time would be.

While watching the changes in the situation on the field, I couldn't help but secretly look at Jessica's position. However, it was better not to look. When I looked over, I found that the position where Jessica was before was empty.

Although I am very worried about Jessica's situation, there is still nothing I can do. I can't leave the bench now to find her. Maybe I am worrying too much. She is an adult after all and can take care of herself.

of.

So I put away my worries and focused all my attention on the competition field again.

When the Lakers played a wonderful counterattack, Staples once again burst into long-lasting warm applause, and each round of applause was a little more enthusiastic than the previous one. The audience seemed to have forgotten the first half.

All the passion that can be released can be released completely at once.

As the Lakers' condition improved significantly, the situation on the court began to be completely overturned. After all, the Clippers' personal strength was not as good as the Lakers. Therefore, when the entire game situation became unfavorable to them, they felt bad in their hearts.

Some changes will begin to occur. The more they can't make three-pointers, the more these guys have to shoot. As a result, there is no guarantee of rebounds. When the Lakers counterattack, they can only foul or watch the opponent easily score.

Basket score.

Especially this guy Shaq, even though he acted like a second-rate center in the first half, when he really showed his sharp shark teeth, the opponent had no choice but to let him slaughter him. Not only was Shaq able to destroy the opponent in the interior

He has strong willpower and can also use his speed to join in the fast break counterattack. There was even a fast break ball where Shaq grabbed the rebound and dribbled the ball. I remember such a ball in the first few games of this season.

It has also appeared in competitions.

When Shaq completely relaxed, he would use some moves that he didn't usually use. In this way, the score gap between the two sides quickly reached 12 points. In the entire third quarter, the Lakers beat the Clippers by 18 points.

However, after the start of the fourth quarter, Silver Fox Harris once again asked me to lead the bench players alone. In a sense, it was not wrong for him to do so. On the one hand, it can fully exercise my personal abilities, and on the other hand, I can indeed

To make up for the shortcomings of the bench, but to be honest, I think there are still some shortcomings in his deployment of troops, especially Shaq who played the entire first and third quarters. He could have taken off the game a few minutes earlier to rest.

Then return to the game earlier in the fourth quarter, or let Shaq and I lead the bench, which will make it more difficult for the opponent to target.

In fact, this kind of arrangement has been reflected in the previous games, but today, when facing the weak Clippers, they did not do it. It is probably because Silver Fox Harris underestimated the enemy too much and did not let the Clippers go at all.

In my eyes, I just randomly arranged the rotations at will, unlike before when I faced a strong force.

When facing an enemy, he prepares so meticulously before the game.

If it weren't for the huge gap in strength between the Lakers and Clippers, how could they have recovered so easily after falling behind by 30 points at halftime? Moreover, the difference between the two sides is still 12 points, and there is only time left.

It's the last 12 minutes. For a head coach, he obviously lacks enough consideration in these aspects.

After coming on the field, I was once again ready to turn on the scoring switch and rely on my personal ability to narrow the score gap between the two sides. However, today, my substitute teammates seemed to join forces to play me. The main players played their best in the first half.

It's not bad, but in the second half, both attitude and state were much better. However, these substitute players still continued the cheating state of the first half. Not only were their attitudes towards the game not positive enough, but they were also unable to seize some very good offensive opportunities.

Moreover, I really don’t believe that there are some goals that they were unable to score due to lack of personal ability. I even feel that I wouldn’t have scored like this with four CBA teammates.

The result was that although I had been struggling to support the situation with scoring, the point difference between the two sides was once again widened to 18 points within 3 minutes. The head coach Silver Fox Harris couldn't stand it anymore and decisively shouted

Stopping the game, he probably also knew that being 18 points behind with 9 minutes left in the game was not fun. If no changes were made, the remaining time would become garbage time.

Finally this guy put me and Shaq on the court at the same time again, and also replaced the rest of the bench players, leaving me as the point guard to match several other Lakers starters.

Although I say I am a point guard, my style of play definitely has nothing to do with the point guard, because I have already become quite proficient in the high pick-and-roll tactics between Shaq and me in the past few games.

When facing opponents who are far stronger than the Clippers, Shaq and I can get whatever we want with our high pick-and-roll tactics on offense. What's more, today they are a team that lacks talent. Many times they just rely on willpower.

There is no way to overcome the gap in talent and strength.

In the next 2 minutes, Shaq and I each scored 5 points, once again leading the Lakers to a 10-0 spurt, and the point difference between the two sides narrowed to within 10 points for the first time.

The opposing coach called a timeout, but I think his timeout was meaningless at all, because when Shaq and I entered the state in the fourth quarter, no one could stop us.

My score today has reached more than 20 points. On the contrary, Shaq has only scored 17 points due to his paddling in the first half. He has 13 rebounds, 5 of which are offensive rebounds.

With his strength, I think it is not impossible for him to grab 10 offensive rebounds under the Clippers basket in a row.

However, the Clippers obviously did not intend to give up the victory so easily. They actually started to press us frantically. It's not that their players' defensive skills are not good, but that many times when you are suddenly faced with

When the opponent presses the whole court, there will be some panic.

What's more, their full-court press this time is like three people forcibly double-teaming one person. They will double-team you quickly when you are about to pass halftime. In many cases, you will not be able to pass the ball in time.

Go out, this will lead to mistakes.

Just like this, after I was made two mistakes in a row, my mentality was about to explode. However, with my unwillingness to admit defeat, the more the opponent flanked me, the more I wanted to prove myself and refused to pass the ball. My subconscious mind

There was a voice among them saying this to me.

Fortunately, the opponent's full-court press mainly relies on enthusiasm and sudden attacks to win. After I have become familiar with their routines, I am not so afraid of their double or even triple teams. I use my skillful dribbling.

, I broke through their double-team very easily. The reason why I was able to do so easily is still due to the poor defensive habits of these defenders. In my opinion, their gambling seems to be that I will break through if they take the ball.

The best time for their defence.

Shaq was completely unguarded in the interior at this time, and he was desperately waving to me to pass the ball. However, at this time, I had just passed the three-man double-team of the opponent. Of course, I did not want to give the opportunity to perform to Shaq.

Directly rush to the basket at full speed again.

This time I chose a 180-degree turn and was dunked. Shaq directly under the basket became the background for my dunk. When I returned to defense, I could see his eyes as if he was about to kill someone.

I just spread my hands and smiled at him, then retreated with all my strength.

I'm not worried about what Shaq will do to retaliate against me. During this period of time, I have basically figured out Shaq's character and temper. He actually has a very simple and kind-hearted child-like temper. If you say

If you steal a child's toy, he may be angry, but he will never do many terrible acts of revenge like adults.

Shaq might yell at me after the game or say some angry words, but I'm not afraid of him, hahaha!

I can even say that being able to make him angry brought me some kind of psychological pleasure. This pleasure is the pleasure of bullying a strong person. Even though he is a strong person, he still has to be bullied by me!
