The rest is just noise

Text Volume Chapter 1,310 Did I play well? Iverson wanted to retaliate, but his offense failed to find its accuracy.

Subsequently, Garnett firmly grabbed the defensive rebound.

Louis could see that after a serious injury, Robinson no longer had the absolute confidence in his physical fitness that he had in the past.

This is not surprising.

In his previous life, Louis saw players in the gym undergoing rehabilitation training after serious injuries.

Before being injured, those people often flew to the sky and escaped as if they had wings. However, after the injury, they hesitated when faced with a half-meter-high barrier, doubting that they could not cross it.

This does not mean that physical fitness will completely disappear after a serious injury.

If rehabilitation training is done well, most of the sports abilities can be restored.

But most players will have trouble completely trusting their body after an injury.

Of course, a freak like Russell Westbrook, who gets more and more injured, has to be treated separately.

The Spurs missed the shot and the Lakers' counterattack was unsuccessful, slowing down and getting into position.

Louis observed the Spurs' defensive formation. Popovich had learned the lesson from the last loss to the Lakers and did not dare to relax the defensive pressure on the three-point line.

But this way, their penalty area will have problems.

Louis was just about to remind Barros to pass the ball to Barkley. Suddenly, Kobe followed the off-ball screen set by Garnett and followed up with a beautiful reverse run, sending Byron Russell flying and scoring a three-pointer.

Catch the ball outside the line.

Barros usually doesn't pass the ball to Kobe who wants the ball, but this time it's different.

That's a great opportunity!

Kobe received the pass and threw it.

Chick Hearn screamed,

Louis' design for the Spurs' start basically revolved around Robinson.

Although Robinson has been dismissed from the ranks of super centers by the media who only focus on offense after the first round, Louis still regards attacking the Spurs' interior as the key to defeating the Spurs in the semifinals.

Iverson, who was transformed into the No. 1 position by Popovich, did perform at a higher level in his rookie season than in his previous life. However, without Robinson, Iverson is currently at the highest level and is not enough to lead a team in the semifinals.

Level team's offense.

Louis told his players before the game that Robinson could do whatever he wanted with the ball and that double-attacking was prohibited. Garnett went all out to resist and put pressure on him.

Secondly, the rhythm needs to be up.

Every team that plays against the Spurs doesn't think about rhythm because Iverson likes fast-paced games too much.

However, why don’t the Lakers like fast-paced games?

The reason why Louis asked his players to increase the rhythm is not because it is consistent with the team's offense, but because doing so can increase Robinson's consumption.

On the weak side, Mashburn relied on his personal ability to beat Kobe.

What Wilson meant was whether Mashburn needed to be handed over to him to defend.

Kobe shook his head vigorously and said:

The Lakers' offense is extremely simple.

In the high post, Garnett attracted the Spurs' double-team when he got the ball, and then pushed the ball to the bottom corner. Wilson strictly implemented Louis' strategy.

First, the ball flew past Mashburn, and then he missed the opportunity to shoot an open shot and went to the basket to confront Robinson and then scored a layup.

Wilson said ruthlessly.

Iverson called Robinson to set the pick and roll.

The Lakers seemed to ignore Robinson's high-post offense and actually asked Barkley to defend the pick-and-roll.

Isn’t the lesson from Wilson’s 66 points in a single game not enough?

Iverson passed Barros and scored with a throw to Barkley who switched defenses to his side.

Regardless of the fact that the ball was scored against someone, in fact, Barkley's defensive pressure was not in place at all.

Louis couldn’t help but complain:

Barkley is also in trouble.

Iverson's speed was so fast that he couldn't even touch the opponent's clothes, not to mention confrontation.

On the other side, Wilson powerfully took the ball in the middle of the paint, shook his shoulders, and turned around.

Kobe opened his eyes wide. Wilson used a simple and crisp move to knock down Mashburn, who was still very arrogant just now. Robinson, who was not able to defend in time, threw a half-volume basket and scored.

Unlike Jordan, a superman who always tries to challenge the limits of human beings, Wilson is the ultimate pragmatist. He doesn't have such beautiful technical moves, but he can ensure that the technical aspects of each move are solid and in place.

He does not pursue technical limits. What he likes to do most is to use five-point skills to defeat five-point defenses.

Mashburn, who had lost face on the defensive end, wanted to score from Kobe to save face.

Garnett noticed his intentions.

There was no problem with Kobe's defense, he was just crushed by Mashburn's physical confrontation.

When the physical maturity of two people is asymmetrical, it is meaningless to talk about technology.

Basketball is an unfair sport, and those who are favored can always dominate the game with their talent.

But basketball is a fair sport. If those who are favored by God do not practice confrontation like ordinary people, no matter how talented they are, they will be shackled.

Kobe was knocked to the ground by Mashburn, and he thought his defense was going to fail again.

Just after Mashburn's shot was released, a figure passed by like lightning, followed by an unpleasant roar.

Garnett slapped Mashburn's shot out of bounds like a spiker, and after landing, he waved his fist and shouted:

Subsequently, Garnett pulled Kobe up forcefully, and then bombarded his eardrums with hysterical nonsense with a very personal color:

Wilson shouted,

Now Garnett has evolved into the look that Louis is familiar with.

Noisy, loves to create noise, great atmosphere starter and great defender.

Combining the above characteristics, he can also average 17 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game in terms of pure basketball statistics. This is very good, but he can continue to improve.

Iverson did not continue to pass the ball to Mashburn because Wilson and Bryant exchanged defenders.

Originally, Kobe didn't want to change, but Wilson said it was just for this one round.

Kobe felt that as the boss, Wilson's face was worth at least two rounds.

So he had no objection.

Kobe faced off against Russell. This guy was a very typical blue-collar wing who focused on defense. He seemed to have a trick for everything on the offensive end, but it often didn't work very well.

It is not difficult for Kobe to guard this kind of player.

Iverson couldn't find a chance and had no choice but to take the shot at the buzzer.

Barkley grabbed the defensive rebound and passed to Barros.

At this time, Louis noticed that Kobe's pass had already passed half court.

He hopes Barros can trust Kobe a little more.

This strict veteran who never looked good to rookies seized the opportunity to pass the ball and sent a long pass to Kobe who was about to leave.

Kobe obviously didn't expect Barros to pass the ball, and his pace was messed up. It was supposed to be a performance moment, but instead he almost dunked the ball with a bubble dunk.

The eldest son of the Lu family was very anxious. He thought that Kobe would definitely have a wonderful dunk.

That's it.

Kobe, who was so focused that he ignored the audience, ignored Lu Wuxia who was sitting in the VIP booth, returned to the backcourt, and high-fived Barros.

Barros said indifferently,

Louis watched Barros educate Kobe, and he felt quite touched in his heart.

The veteran the young Lakers fear most is not Wilson or Barkley, but Burrows.

He always had a cold face as if someone owed him money, and pointed out the rookie's problems in a debt-collecting tone.

Kobe couldn't say Barros was targeting him because he did it to everyone.

Only Wilson and Barkley can violate his rules, but who makes these two the boss and veteran of the team?

At the beginning of the first game of the semifinals, Louis changed his lineup and allowed Kobe Bryant to start with miraculous results.

The young man did not waste the opportunity to start. In the first seven minutes of playing time, he made 4 of 5 shots and scored 10 points.

His active performance was an important reason why the Lakers were able to build a 14-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Louis could not be more satisfied with this result.

The strategy of consuming Robinson is progressing steadily. Depending on the opponent's mood, it may not work until the third quarter at most.

Starting Kobe Bryant and motivating him through Iverson is a double-edged sword that may yield miraculous results or huge disappointment.

But Kobe withstood the pressure. There was both a reasonable side that Louis wanted to see and an unreasonable side that made the program very effective.

No matter which face Kobe plays, his @ starting performance is perfect.

Daben wanted to know what he used to overcome his nervousness.

Kobe's answer confused him:
