The rest is just noise

Chapter 1328 An Unimagined Road

It's understandable that Kobe's nervousness caused his shooting to go awry.

What makes Louis gratified is that Kobe did not get depressed because he had no achievements on the offensive end. His performance on the defensive end was surprising.

Whether it is the extreme defense to block Chapman, or the fact that there has been no mistake in missing someone out of position since the start of the game, it shows that Kobe has changed from a talented high school student who needs the ball to reflect his own value, to a player who can even

High-quality chess pieces that are valuable even without the ball.

The Blazers finally came to their senses and realized that Kobe might be a point on which they could concentrate their efforts.

Therefore, when Jordan called for a pick-and-roll from the outside, he deliberately asked Russell to pick-and-roll for him.

Kobe stood in front of Jordan as a matter of course.

At this stage, it is still too difficult for Kobe to face off against Jordan. He only faced Jordan for a few seconds and was easily scored.

Still, Stevens said, "His defense was impeccable."

What this means is that Kobe did not make any defensive mistakes, and the score was only due to the gap in physical strength between the two sides.

On the offensive end, they should target Kobe, but on the defensive end, they should also leave Kobe open.

The Blazers' wishful thinking was good, but although Kobe couldn't find the feeling to shoot, he didn't do it knowingly. On the contrary, even if the Blazers gave him an open shot, he stopped shooting and instead used breakthroughs to get to the basket.

Down.

The moment Kobe broke through, he thought about the impact of his move on tactics, and quickly predicted the possible situations of his teammates in his mind.

This scene is shocking.

A person who was always just a tactical pawn suddenly became the axis of the system like Wilson, without any sense of disobedience.

And that is the core of "beautiful basketball".

Its ultimate goal is five cores, and its purpose is multi-core. If only Wilson takes the lead, then the "Eye of the Storm" tactic is just a more advanced roll call tactic.

When Kobe Bryant unexpectedly changed roles, his teammates still operated as they did when Wilson was the main player.

Kobe only relied on his confidence in tactics, knowledge of the system, and prediction of the offensive path to send out passes.

Wilson caught the ball unexpectedly, shot easily, and hit the ball.

16 to 11

The teaching assistants looked at Louis.

They saw the corners of Louis' mouth moving slightly to say something.

Only Bird was sober: "Don't get excited, maybe you are blind?"

"Hillbilly, can you hope for something better?"

Then, Kobe was beaten up by Jordan again and lost his self-control after being allowed three meters on the offensive end. He missed a shot and was beaten by the Trail Blazers.

At this time, five minutes had passed in the first quarter, and Louis called a timeout.

Louis replaced Kobe with Liu Yuqing, and the rest remained unchanged.

Then, Louis turned and stared at Kobe, making him feel uncomfortable.

"what happened to you?"

Louis asked.

"I just... feel a little bad."

"The hand feels a little bad? And then you can't even hit the big open shot?"

Although Kobe had a tough mouth, he was very thin-skinned, "Then...that's for a reason!"

"What's the reason?" Louis held on tightly.

Kobe panicked and started talking nonsense, "This is not my true level. I am doing this because of...the venue, which caused neuroendocrine effects...maybe muscle tension caused by sympathetic nerves..."

Louis looked at him dumbfounded, "Can you control the muscle tension caused by some nerve?"

"I try my best."

In 5 minutes of playing in the first quarter, Kobe had 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block. Aside from his shooting touch that was comparable to Ben Simmons, his overall performance was pretty good.

Although there is a lack of confrontation on the defensive end, the only one on the Trail Blazers who can catch him is Jordan - but who can limit Jordan one-on-one? - Then, his ability to help defend is very good, and he can also perfectly integrate into the system on the offensive end.

, it doesn’t look like he was temporarily transferred in at all.

Overall, Kobe's performance just now can be rated as 80 points.

This gave Louis the confidence to continue using him later.

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers' lineup was slightly adjusted and their style of play remained unchanged. The Trail Blazers took the initiative to increase the intensity of the game and prepared to use physical confrontation to reduce the Lakers' shooting percentage.

It's normal for Riley to have this idea. From the beginning to now, the Blazers have performed normally, but the Lakers have been a little abnormal.

The Lakers scored 16 points in 5 minutes, but Riley felt that their state had not really picked up yet.

You can't think about this in detail, it will make your back shiver.

Because this seemingly not good enough state can already give the Lakers the lead. If they really open up, how terrible would it be?

In order to prevent the Lakers' competitive status from continuing to rise, Riley chose to increase intensity, disrupt the rhythm of the game, and force the Lakers into a muscle jungle.

Riley was sure Louis was going down the wrong path.

In this era where defense is paramount, he, a defensive guru, actually tries to lead an offensive team to success?

If the offensive team could succeed, the Showtime Lakers would have defeated the Celtics long ago.

If an offensive team could pull it off, the Blazers would have succeeded in 1993.

Anyone who attempts to attack in the playoffs will definitely die without a burial place.

Even Louis is inevitable.

In the two rounds after the timeout, the Lakers made mistakes first and then struck. The Trail Blazers used counterattacks to score 4 points in a row, narrowing the point difference to 1 point.

15 to 16

Louis directly denounced the tragedy maker who caused the team's offensive problems directly on the sidelines.

"Erwin, if you continue to play like this, you will retire after this game is over! What does that pass mean? Is the defense just now serious? What are you doing?!"

The tragedy master, who had not been criticized for a long time, suddenly became energetic and went directly to the high position to loudly ask for the ball.

Wilson saw this and lobbed the ball to him.

The tragedy master, who was scolded by Louis for being anxious, also lost his usual calmness. He ignored the fight and carried Robinson to the inside.

This style of play is obviously not something he can support at this stage.

The tragic player who had no sense of reason not only lost his golf skills, but also ignored Liu Yuqing, who was open in the bottom corner, and then forced his shot to be blocked.

The tragedy maker wanted to calm down, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He not only wanted to prove himself and let Louis speak more clearly, but also wanted people to understand that he was getting older and could no longer play like he did when he was young.

Then, the tragedy master saw Liu Yuqing's impatient face.

"I thought there was only one blind man with eyes, but I didn't expect you to be more generous." Liu Yuqing said coldly, "There is a reason why you became a tragedy."

These words were too much, so much so that Louis, who wanted to scold the tragedian a few more times, was unable to speak.

The tragedian was furious, "What did you say?"

Liu Yuqing, on the other hand, was not interested in scolding an old man. She just expressed her attitude and did not continue.

It can be seen that he was not in a good mood because he was inexplicably removed from the starting lineup by Kobe Bryant. He wanted to perform after he came on the field, but he did not expect that the tragedy maker was artificially blinded.

In this case, it is necessary for him to say a few words to cheer up the old guy here. If he can't cheer up?, then retire as soon as possible, don't occupy the manhole and do nothing, disgusting people.

Louis watched silently as the players fought among themselves on the court, and gave Barros a signal to call for a second-position tactic, but gave no other instructions.

It's been a long time since Wilson felt the tense atmosphere in the team he had during the Knicks.

Today's events prove that all it takes to create that kind of atmosphere is a mean mouth.

What Liu Yuqing said, even in the Knicks, only Louis can say it.

But he was able to say it without any burden because he thought it was right.

In a word, when this person was ostracized in Atlanta, it was not just a team problem.

Wilson actively serves as an icebreaker.

Louis asked Barros to play the second position, and Wilson went to the weak side to cover Liu Yuqing without the ball.

Liu Yuqing was also top notch. The boss personally came to cover the ball. He was not polite at all and passed directly by Wilson. He also pointed to the right position and signaled Barros that he would catch the ball there.

Barros' pass gave the ball ahead of time.

Liu Yuqing caught the ball, turned around, attracted Clifford Robinson's help, hit the ground lightly, and passed the ball to the tragic player.

The tragic master who was in a complicated mood took a shot, oh!

18 to 15

Liu Yuqing, who "repays evil with kindness", didn't even look at the tragic actor, turned around and ran away, as if she was demonstrating to the opponent the correct way to play.

The tragedy maker was even more angry. When he became famous at a young age, he played what critics said was the correct basketball. He didn't need a young man to tell him how to play the correct basketball.

Chemical reaction is a very wonderful thing. A perfect chemical reaction is the kind of utopian basketball where the team is harmonious, everyone is selfless, and those with good opportunities are given priority. It probably only exists in a fantasy world.

There are many teams with excellent chemical reactions, including the Lakers. However, the series of unexpected impacts caused by Liu Yuqing's criticism of the tragedy maker is a specialty of the Lakers.

This scene is very similar to that in "Slam Dunk". Shohoku performed poorly in the opening game against Shoyo, and then Kaede Rukawa was criticized by his teammates for breaking the ice alone. Then he talked to the whole team, causing them to get angry and adjust to a better state.

.

The tragedy master decided to increase the intensity of passing the ball, especially the pass to Liu Yuqing, which must be comfortable, suitable and appropriate.

As long as Liu Yuqing dares to miss a shot, the tragedy maker will question him to the ends of the earth.

The game then took a path that Louis had never imagined.
