The rest is just noise

Seeing Louis Hongwen, Bird said funnyly: "I thought Jasmine was already difficult enough, but I didn't expect Kobe to be even more of a super heavyweight."

Although Louis was furious, he did not immediately replace Kobe.

The assistant coaches around him had different attitudes towards Kobe's decision.

Some people think this young man has great ideas.

Some worry that his strong desire to perform will affect the entire team.

However, no matter how problematic this decision is, it is not a principled error.

For Louis, there is only one unacceptable mistake, and that is not playing according to the plan.

What Kobe did just now was just a small willfulness of a talented boy, which is annoying, but acceptable.

On the court at this time, Iverson did not change the team's style of play because of Kobe's appearance.

Popovich took advantage of the Lakers' internal weakness during the title phase and asked the ball carrier to use his size advantage in the frontcourt to forcefully break through the Lakers' defense.

This is also Iverson's task.

Kobe's intensity on the defensive end was very high, but in the final analysis, it was just high school level pressure.

Louis asked Stevens: "Do you have any training plans for Beane's defense?"

Stevens said: "I will teach him exactly what I did in New York, but I doubt he will be able to handle the amount of training."

Louis, who knew Kobe well, smiled and said, "That's good."

Suddenly, Iverson bypassed Kobe's defense and used his personal ability to force a jump shot from the free throw line to break the Lakers' pocket formation.

"Hey, Kobe, you still look like a high school student."

Iverson, who broke down Kobe's defense, naturally spat out trash talk.

After that, Kobe failed to regain his place.

Although he desperately wanted to get the ball, Barros never passed it to him.

On the defensive end, he took Iverson's probing step and was hit by the opponent for a three-pointer from the corner.

"Give me the damn ball!" Kobe yelled angrily.

Barros, however, looked indifferent: "Unless you learn the damn movement first."

In the end, it was the tragedy master who helped the younger generation.

The tragedy master made a pivot from a high position, and Barros handed the ball over.

It's not that Kobe doesn't move, it's just that his movement is limited to basic tactical routes and he won't actively change according to the opponent's defense.

Even if there is a chance, it is fleeting. With Barros's vision, it is difficult to get the ball in time.

The Tragedy Master is different. Although he can only play the fourth position now, his skills in passing and organization will remain with him until death.

Kobe's counter-running created a chance for himself, and only the top organizers can seize it.

The tragic goal came faster than expected.

Kobe took the ball, excitedly broke through the basket and jumped up, trying to dunk on Antonio McDyess' head.

"You ignorant brat!"

McDyess pushed Kobe down hard and was called for a foul.

"You're a hundred years too early!" McDyess said trash-talking.

Louis had seen enough. He turned back to Liu Yuqing and said, "Get ready to replace Bean."

What Louis didn't expect was that Kobe missed his second free throw and the rebound was pointed out by Ostertag.

Wilson caught it.

Before Kobe could react, Wilson made a wonderful through pass and sent the ball into Kobe's arms from the outside.

Kobe's reaction when he got the ball was all based on instinct. He used his body to lean on Iverson and force a layup in the middle.

The ball hit the basket.

"Cazzo!" Kobe exclaimed excitedly, "How's it going?"

Louis was not opposed to Kobe showing his personality on the court.

After watching this goal, he canceled the substitution.

"One more minute of observation?" he thought to himself.

It turns out that don’t trust high school kids’ balls, they are unreliable.

Sometimes Louis really can't understand what Kobe is thinking.

You could call him independent, he is really independent.

You can tell that he is not alone. He obviously has the opportunity to go up by himself, but he insists on passing the ball to Wilson who is following up.

This scene occurred during the counterattack 30 seconds later.

Ostertag blocked Iverson's layup, and the Lakers counterattacked.

It was Kobe who had the ball.

At that time, everyone of Kobe's teammates off the court was willing to bet their salary this month that he would dunk regardless of whether there was anyone in front of him or not.

As a result, Kobe actually took a diagonal pass to Wilson who was following in the middle.

Even Wilson didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to catch Kobe's pass.

First, I didn't expect it, second, I wasn't ready, and third, I lacked concentration, so I went for a layup and missed the basket.

"Benjamin?" Bryant couldn't believe Wilson messed up such a simple offense.

Benj didn't use the excuse "I didn't know you could pass" as an excuse. He simply admitted his mistake: "Mine."

Kobe was very angry. Did Benjamin know how hard-won his ball rights were? He originally reciprocated the favor, but what was his reward?

Don't you feel shameful for wasting the ball like this?

"What's going on?" Barkley couldn't understand. "There's no way that brat would miss that kind of fast break opportunity. Why would he pass the ball to Benj?"

I think only Ben Wallace knows what happened.

Because Wilson passed the ball to Kobe before, he wanted to return the favor.

That was the team boss that Kobe recognized. Although he was dissatisfied with his words, he had no disrespect towards Benj in his heart.

But this conclusion is too shocking to say, as if it was Benj's honor to be recognized by Kobe as the boss.

So I just kept silent.

Another Spurs star player is gradually finding his game.

That is David Robinson, the former Lakers player who has not played in a game for a long time.

After a serious injury, Robinson's athletic ability has declined a lot, but he is still an elite star center. Judging from his skills, it is not difficult to average 20+10 per game with the Spurs.

He used his agility to beat Ostertag, extending the Spurs' lead to 7 points.

Then, Iverson ripped open Kobe's defense with a divine block and a Buddha block, hitting the Lakers' penalty area like a bullet, causing Ostertag's third foul.

This time, Louis did not make a substitution, but directly requested a timeout.

Louis replaced Liu Yuqing, Garnett and Ben Wallace, and replaced Barlows, Kobe and Ostertag.

In this way, the Lakers' lineup on the court is Wilson, Liu Yuqing, Tragedy, Garnett, and Ben.

It seemed that having three insiders would seriously hinder the space, but Louis pointed at Ben and said, "Ben, you play the third position on the offensive end."

Da Ben was confused.

"Although you are at the third position, you need to take on the pick-and-roll and screening duties at the fifth position." Louis said emphatically, "We need to work on the defensive end."

Although Louis no longer plays defense for the Lakers, changing the opponent's play style and tactics through defense is the most basic thing.

Iverson is difficult to deal with, but his size is always the key. Moreover, like many rookies who have just started their careers, he passes the ball casually with poor details. Once disturbed, he will tend to pass the ball randomly and has no sense of defensive traps.

not give a damn about.

Louis stared at Wilson, Garnett and Ben, "Let's prepare a few traps for the AI."

Iverson is the engine of the Spurs. If he is restricted to death, the Spurs will not be a threat.

As for others, such as Jamal Mashburn, Antonio McDyess, David Robinson and others, Louis emphasized maintaining high-intensity matchups and trying to let them play outside of their own habits.

As for the offensive deployment, Louis was not long-winded and simply said: "From now on, we will use the 'Meteor' tactic."

"Finally!" Garnett said excitedly, "Dude, I can't wait any longer!"

Only Daben was nervous.

"I don't know what to do." Ben usually doesn't practice the "Meteor" tactic.

The tragedy master said gently: "You don't need to know what to do, just follow our instructions."

Pause ended

Kobe asked: "Isn't Steve a member of the Cavaliers? If we want to use the 'shooting star' tactic, why not replace him?"

Louis glanced at Kobe with a smile, and then glanced at Nash.

"Good question," Louis said bluntly, "because he's not ready yet."

At this time, Kobe became more excited. He said confidently: "Since I can participate in the 'Meteor' tactic without joining the Cavaliers, I think I can too. I'm ready. Sir, let me play."

Louis took a deep look at Kobe.

On the court, Iverson stepped into the Lakers' trap and was pressured by Ben. He made defensive mistakes and did not attract Louis' attention.

"Believe me, Sir!" Kobe thought Louis was thinking about it.

In the end, Louis just sighed softly: "You are too prepared, I dare not let you go."
