The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 413 [Iron Man of Angel City]

During the intermission, many people commented on the game on the official NBA forum.

Netizen "Joken" said: The Lakers used to be the strongest team in the league, but they sent out the true core of the team twice. If O'Neal is added, it should be counted as three times. I don't know when the Lakers want to train Kobe. Law still looks like a rookie.If Nick Young of the Wizards and Eric Gordon of the Bobcats are given so many shots, they may not score less than Kobe.

Netizen "Kobe leaned back and kowtowed" said: Congratulations to the Clippers here, Kobe really defended Paul to death in the second quarter.Bynum only took 5 shots. Kobe is the only player in the league who can defend against two stars at once. It is unfair that he was not selected for the best defensive team last season.

Netizen "Iron Man" left a short message, saying: Kobe is the real Iron Man.

"American Sports" expert Caso said when evaluating the game: "Ye Feng has reversed people's understanding of basketball. In the past, many people thought it was cool to play crazy shots without passing the ball. Not many people think so now. Team basketball Completely defeated individual heroism. Ye Feng could score but chose to pass, which is very rare."

During the halftime break, the tactics arranged by the fake Lakers coach Brown was still "Kobe-play". Of course, it may also be arranged by the Lakers' real coach.

The problem with the Lakers this season is that they have a slow offensive and defensive rhythm, are used to half-court offense and defense, and are not good at using quick counterattacks to score.Compared with the triangle offensive tactics used by "Zen Master" when he was in office, although the rhythm is slow, it is not a problem to rely on tactical advantages to score, and there is no need to worry about relying on a strong inside advantage for defense. However, Brown abandoned the triangle offense and switched to the "star" he used in the Cavaliers. The Lakers obviously don't adapt to the tactical system of being "father and mother". Of course, the players cannot be blamed for this. The original intention of the team to trade them is to serve the triangle offensive system, not Brown's crappy tactics.The offense is disorganized and the defense has no advantage.

On the first attack in the third quarter, Smith broke through and caused Bynum's third foul. Brown was forced to replace him for a rest. The Lakers suffered foul trouble inside and could no longer resist the Clippers' attack.

The Lakers' offense was still that Paul led half court and handed the ball to Kobe, and then everyone watched the fun together.Even the Clippers players watched the excitement, and sensibly made room for Kobe to single out Tony Allen.The basket in the arena made the sound of hammering iron again and again, and the Gasol brothers scrambled for rebounds.

In this game, Thibodeau insisted on letting the Gasol brothers play more games. Love played much less time. The third quarter was not finished. The two brothers and Ye Feng had already got a double-double, and Ye Feng's assists exceeded 10 again. indivual.

This was a miraculous game. In the third quarter, Kobe took almost all of the Lakers' shots, just like when he played against the Raptors.

In this section, Kobe missed 11 shots in a row at the beginning of the game. In addition to his performance at the end of the second quarter, he hit 16 irons in a row, creating a "brilliant" record in his career.Previously, Kobe's longest streak was 13 times. Two years have passed, and Kobe still continues his "honor" of being the number one iron god in active service in the league.With this game, Kobe's total number of strikes in his career has reached 12262. This season, he will definitely surpass Jordan and raise his overall list of strikes in NBA history by another place.

Currently, the player with the most consecutive missed shots in a single game is Tim Hardaway. The game against the Timberwolves on December 1991, 12 directly established Hardaway's status as an "Iron God" that no one can surpass.From the beginning to the end of that game, Hardaway took 9 consecutive shots without a single ball "accidentally" getting into the basket, and this is also the highest record for NBA players to hit iron in a single game.

In a sense, Kobe is better. Hardaway took 17 shots in the whole game, and Kobe almost surpassed him in less than one quarter.

When Kobe hit the shot, Hardaway, who was sitting off the court as an assistant coach of the Clippers, held his head in his hands and yelled regret. "My God! Why can't you make him miss two more shots?"

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers led by 95 points 61 to 34.Bynum and McRoberts both had four fouls, and Murphy also fouled three times.

Some people will definitely think that Bynum's four early fouls are the main reason for the Lakers' big score behind, so who caused Bynum's four fouls?The answer is obvious. Kobe hit the iron continuously and asked Bynum to grab rebounds. How could he have a chance to stand in a good position to grab rebounds every time?Besides, Kobe Bryant and Ci Shiping couldn't stop Ye Feng and Smith's attack on the inside, so Bynum's foul became inevitable.

In addition, the Clippers deliberately broke through and made fouls, even if the Lakers committed six fouls in the fourth quarter, it is very possible.Kobe made 33 of 11 shots in three quarters and hit 22 irons wildly. His paranoia has an unshirkable responsibility for the trend of the game. Although he scored more points than Ye Feng, the contest between him and Ye Feng has already been decided.

Some people say that Kobe is old, but from any angle, old players should be more experienced and know how to play to help the team.But the older Kobe is, the more he refuses to admit defeat. Not admitting defeat is a good thing. Maybe he should play tennis, and it's men's singles.

On the basketball court, how many shots can players squander in a game?Against a strong team, if you miss a few shots, someone will seize the opportunity to counterattack.Instead of reviewing his shot timing, Kobe blamed his teammates for being unable to defend against counterattacks.

This season, some fans even joked that "Kobe is passing the ball if he doesn't shoot three shots, and his teammates count as assists if he grabs the ball. If he can't make a shot, he is incompetent."Of course, such a statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is an indisputable fact that Kobe only has the basket in his eyes in the game now. Obviously his teammates are in a good position, especially Bynum on the inside, but he can't get his pass.Even Kobe was unwilling to pass the ball when he was double-teamed, and he was even more reluctant to pass the Clippers' single-handed defense.

So far, the Lakers are still looking for stability, rhythm, confidence and energy at all levels.In the words of coach Brown, the Lakers are still in "search mode." Brown himself blushed when he said this. They have been searching for a year.If there's anything solid about the Lakers, it's Kobe's shaky hands.

Brown doesn't know what to expect from the Lakers. Since the "Zen Master" retired, they have never played a beautiful combination of inside and outside.In the past, Jackson would remind Kobe of one thing to "pass the ball inside" before the start of every game.Now what Brown reminds is "Kobe, you have unlimited shot rights."

Before the start of this season, Brown publicly stated that he would reduce Kobe's playing time and reduce his pressure. This has been said more than once during the season, and Kobe's playing time remains high.So far this season, Bryant is averaging 39.3 minutes per game and ranks third in the league.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe continued to stay on the court to perform.Paul was replaced to rest, replaced by Steve Blake.Paul's role is almost the same as Blake's. In comparison, Blake's three-pointers are more accurate.

Bynum is also sitting off the court, and now the Lakers are completely dependent on Kobe.Ci Shiping is still on the court, but his downturn is unexpected, and he has only scored two points in this game so far.

The Clippers dispatched a full bench lineup, Ye Feng, the Gasol brothers, Smith and others all sat down on the court.Love and Yi Jianlian partnered inside, while Barnes, Thornton, and Tony Allen were in charge of the perimeter.

Although they had already won the game, Tony Allen and Barnes took strict precautions against Kobe and did not give him any chance to score easily.Thibodeau deliberately arranged this way, which hit the Lakers. The Clippers' Los Angeles dominance will be stronger and they will make more money. Now he is not only the head coach, but also the general manager, and he needs to consider this aspect.Thibodeau has ambitions. He hopes to be like Popovich or even Sloan and work in the Clippers for a lifetime.

Thornton and Love provided the Clippers with offensive firepower.

Love's performance in the first three quarters was mediocre, but he began to show off in the final quarter, hitting two three-pointers in a row with misplaced attacks from the outside.

Thornton also played boldly against Kobe. First, he used a cover to break through and made an emergency stop jumper, and then singled Kobe to break through from the bottom line and hit a throw.The Clippers hit a 10-0 shock wave, extending the score to 44 points.

Kobe was outraged and began to attack again.Tony Allen and Barnes double-teamed him at this time, changing the single-defense strategy in the first three quarters, with one follower and one assisting defense to block shots.Kobe didn't believe in Ci Shiping, he never passed the ball if he could make a shot, and smashed the basket again.

As a Lakers legend, "Magic" Johnson was very depressed when he explained the game, but he is also used to watching the Lakers lose to the Clippers, and he didn't feel heartbroken.He said: "The Lakers must change, otherwise they will be in the first round of the playoffs this season at most. Maybe the Lakers should change coaches. The team is behind, but Brown can't make reasonable adjustments, and the whole game falls into the Clippers. Rhythm."

Van Gundy said: "Maybe what the Lakers should change is not the coach, but the players. After more than 10 years, can the Lakers consider trading Kobe? What he does is not like an old player, let alone a leader. He The gap with Ye Feng is too big. Ye Feng only took 9 shots in this game, hit 6 goals, and scored 18 points with free throws. His style of play is more like a veteran, which is very reasonable. He had 5 rebounds and 11 assists. Thinking about it from another angle, if Kobe had passed the ball to Pau Gasol like that, he would have had more than 8 assists."

Johnson sighed and said nothing.

Kobe has been the banner of the Lakers since the 2004-2005 season, and it is not easy to trade him.There are not many teams in the league that can introduce him, not to mention that he still has the right to veto trades, so he will definitely want to go to a team that can win the championship.There are only a few teams in the league capable of competing with the Clippers, and there are not many choices.

Even the narrator thinks so, and Bass will definitely not regard Kobe as a rare treasure.
