Chapter 449 [Kobe Bryant at his peak, golden partner]

Players from the yellow team also performed well. In the next round, Rasheed defended Kobe's layup. Odom grabbed a backcourt rebound and passed the ball to start a counterattack. Jones passed the half court to Iguodala who was about to leave.

Iguodala made an amazing move facing Diaw. As soon as he entered the three-point line in the middle, he pulled the ball up, jumped with the ball to meet Diaw, then threw the ball underhand to the backboard, and accelerated past Diaw with his feet.

This was a move he used to show off in college. Suddenly, it was difficult for the opponent to defend against such a combo of moves. Dio didn't react and was too slow to turn around and defend. Iguodala leaped high, caught the rebound ball with both hands, and made a powerful spike! 12 to 4.

All the fans applauded Iguodala. They began to be optimistic about this rookie. His physical fitness was so strong that even Kobe Bryant was inferior to him.

Hollins shouted twice at the players on the court, and man-to-man became a zone defense. Odom and Rasheed stayed on the baseline, so that even if Yao Ming made an empty cut, there would be a big man to stop him in time.

When the white team attacks, the players still cooperate fairly well.

"No pass" became "No pass". He had just arrived with the Lakers and was afraid that not following the tactics would cause the displeasure of Yang Rui or Kobe, which would directly affect his future.

When players cooperate seriously and there are stars, the offense will be very difficult to defend.

Under the zone defense system, Kobe broke through and was double-teamed, and passed the ball to Yao Ming, who was stationed in the middle. Yao Ming did not force the shot when facing Walton, and transferred it to Diaw on the right.

Diaw faced Jones, which was a mismatch. Unfortunately, he was three points away and did not dare to take a direct shot. If Rasheed is on the white team, this is a great opportunity.

Diaw also had a way. He dribbled the ball horizontally to the center, and then transferred the ball to Mo Williams at 45 degrees on the right. There was another mismatch on the court, and the person defending the bottom line was Odom.

Odom didn't think Mo Williams, a Jazz fringe player, could do anything great. He still stood near the penalty area and didn't go out. The reason was that Yao Ming took a step to the free throw line and Odom was afraid that he would make an empty cut. If Yao Ming catches the ball in the penalty area, no one on the yellow team can guard him. This is a deterrent.

Jones was lured away by Diaw, and Mo Williams hit a near-open three-point jumper. 15 to 4.

When the yellow team attacked, Odom assumed a triple-threat posture on the left side of the frame. Facing Kobe, he took a step and made a pull-up jumper to avoid the block. However, the ball missed and the rebound was obtained by Yao Ming.

Yao Ming passed a pass to Kobe Bryant for a fast break. Kobe dribbled past Odom behind his back, and after entering the three-point line, he forced a layup and caused a foul on Iguodala who was chasing him.

Kobe made two free throws, 17-4.

All the fans applauded, and the yellow team Hollins requested a timeout.

Hollins is now breaking out in a cold sweat. He really wants to perform today and improve his status in the eyes of the management. He is known for his defense, but once the game started, he was completely unable to defend himself and was completely disgraced.

Yang Rui watched the game from the sidelines with a lot of emotions. Kobe has indeed reached his peak now and can help the team on both offense and defense.

Kobe is very strong, but in his previous life, there were some people who were so mad that they blamed Kobe. He ranked first in the history of blacksmiths, Kobe was independent, he hugged O'Neal and won three championships, he elbowed someone to force her into the palace, accused his mother of having an affair, etc. wait……

Although these are true, Kobe is actually still very good at playing basketball. It is true that he is not as good as Jordan, but it is an indisputable fact that the personal ability of the No. 2 position is worse than others.

What's outrageous is that such an excellent Kobe had a big troll at the beginning, and actually wrote a nearly 2 million-word novel about basketball to criticize him. The protagonist in the book was portrayed as extremely sexy, a time traveler with an invincible body, and he has always been He trampled on Kobe and even broke up a lesbian to have a relationship. It was too poisonous.

Many years have passed, but Yang Rui's memory is still fresh. He really can't stand this kind of yy protagonist and this kind of brainless author. How can he not go to the street if he knows how to blackmail others?

After the timeout, the yellow team made substitutions. Veteran Piller came on the scene and replaced Walton, adding an outside shooting point.

The white team changed to a mixed defense. Yao Ming himself was active near the penalty area, and the other four people rotated on the outside, interfering with shooting. The yellow team still couldn't open the offense, and frequently shot and failed.

Yao Ming’s role on the defensive end is obvious.

As long as he is at the basket, the opponent's inside line will often have to make jump shots instead of attacking the basket. Since he cannot break into the penalty area, his shooting percentage will naturally not be very high.

The Rockets' high defensive efficiency during Van Gundy's era was indispensable to Yao Ming. Even when the Cavaliers played the Rockets and Yao Ming was on the court, James could only focus on jump shots. When Yao Ming went to rest, he immediately switched to jumping to the death.

Unfortunately, because of his slow lateral movement and poor assist defense and pick-and-roll defense, Yao Ming is basically not considered the best defensive option.

The white team continued to control the situation on the court. Yao Ming broke out today. When he was replaced in 10 minutes, he scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, including 3 offensive rebounds.

The Los Angeles fans both at the scene and in front of the TV were stunned. Most people believe that Yang Rui can train Yao Ming into a talent that will be better than when he was in the Knicks, but there is no need to train this performance? It’s obvious that he is already very strong!

Rashid said in an interview yesterday that he didn't mind playing center, but today Hollins arranged to play center against Yao Ming. He's so depressed, mmp, I'm just talking.

An insider with height but no weight cannot guard Yao Ming alone. Many people say that Rasheed is overrated. In addition to his lack of record with the Trail Blazers, the other reason is that his statistics are average, especially his defensive statistics. He averaged 8.2 rebounds per game at his peak and did not protect the backcourt rebounds well enough.

Rasheed had no chance to directly guard Yao Ming alone. He was led away by Kobe after pick-and-roll time and time again. Then Yao Ming cut through and caught the ball out of position. Even if Odom made a defense, he was nearly 20 centimeters shorter.

Kobe and Yao Ming rested, but the White team still led in the second quarter. Diop grabbed rebounds in the backcourt and launched a counterattack, not participating in the fast break. The small lineup of Ariza, Mo Williams, Diaw, and Hoiberg was not slow.

Diaw is the organizer, with broad vision and accurate passing, while the other three rush ahead.

Mo Williams' speed has always been underestimated. In Yang Rui's previous life, on January 14, 2015, at the age of 33, he scored 52 points and 7 assists at home on behalf of the Timberwolves.

He was still able to play a role in the Cavaliers in the 16th season, but he missed half the season due to a serious knee injury and retired early because he had a championship ring.

Charlie Ward can no longer run anymore and is playing based on experience, being passed by Mo Williams again and again. Xiao Mo broke through and scored, and veteran Hoiberg also made a three-pointer.

On the sidelines, Yang Rui called Kobe and Yao to his side and said: "Yao will stand in the middle for a while and wait for the opportunity. Don't cut in the air. Make room in the low post. If the defense changes inside, Kobe will mainly break through and catch up from the outside. , you go to the low post to post up, attract double teams and then distribute the ball. Yao needs to practice using his height advantage to hit the defender in the high post, catch the ball and shoot like Nowitzki, or turn around and shoot by himself."

It is impossible for outside players to block Yao Ming head-on. Yang Rui's arrangement will make it easier for him and reduce the number of hand-to-hand fights inside, which also reduces the chance of injury.

Yang Rui believes this idea is feasible because the Lakers have Kobe, who can attract defensive focus. Although Yao Ming is not as comprehensive as Pau Gasol, he has stronger offensive ability with the ball and more accurate shooting.

The two don't need to deliberately practice running coordination. It's enough to attract the defense after a simple pick-and-roll and create singles opportunities for the other party. They can become a golden partner.
