Reborn NBA Gao Fushuai

As long as people who survive on the NBA stage have ambitions, ambitious people dream of becoming that absolute authority, just like Jordan in the past. At that time, everyone wanted to challenge him, defeat him, and snatch his "basketball" God's Throne.

The same is true for Kobe now. When the NBA entered the post-Jordan era and there was a shortage of superstars, Kobe stood up. With his outstanding performance and incomprehensible singles ability, he became the new No. [-] authoritative figure in the NBA after Jordan. .

Now that he is in that position, he must accept challenges from all sides, like Anthony today. Kobe has encountered the same situation many times.

Anthony's challenge seemed to have just begun, and Kobe slapped it down, but will Anthony give up?

No!It's not over yet!
The Nuggets took a sideline kick, and Andrew Miller moved the ball inside. As soon as Martin took the ball, Anthony raised his hand from the outside to ask for the ball. Although Martin was reluctant to see this, he was his brother after all. At this time, he should help Stand up.

The ball was passed, and after Anthony received the ball, he made a three-pointer from the outside!

Bang!
Camby took off the rebound and wanted to make a layup, but was double-teamed by Divac and Odom, so he had to pass the ball to the outside again. Anthony took the ball again, took a step forward, and jumped up to shoot.

Bang!
Still missed, although Anthony tried his best to show his strong side, but obviously, Kobe's block just now had some impact on his psychology.

After all, he is a sophomore, and Anthony's psychological quality is not up to the mark, so he can't blindly act recklessly at this time.

The rebound was grabbed by Butler, the Lakers broke fast, Kobe took the ball all the way down, and scored a one-handed slam dunk.

4: 2!

The Nuggets' offense was still terminated by Anthony, who forced his way to the basket and barely made a shot. The basketball bounced twice on the hoop, and Martin grabbed the rebound. After knocking Divac away, he dunked with both hands and scored the ball.

After scoring the goal, Martin walked up to Anthony's side in a few steps, hooked Anthony's neck, and said in his ear: "Boy! Before you want to challenge the Black Mamba, as the team's top card, The first thing you have to guarantee is to win the game!"

Although Martin has a rough appearance, after all, he has been with Kidd for many years, and his basketball IQ is also very high. How can he not see that Anthony is acting on his temper.

He left the Nets, in addition to wanting to leave Kidd, and make a career on his own, because he is optimistic about the potential of the Nuggets. NBA players don’t only have money in their eyes, they also dream of honor and O’Brien cup.

Anthony was taken aback for a moment, he is also a smart person, he knew that his behavior just now was very abnormal: "I know!"

In the offense of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant made a three-pointer from the outside, but was interfered by Leonard and missed the shot. Camby grabbed the rebound and swung it forward. Andrew Miller quickly got the ball and scored a layup.

In just an instant, the Nuggets overtook the score!

6: 4!

In the end, the overall strength is not enough. The Lakers, apart from Kobe, do not have another stable scoring point at all, especially inside. Odom's scoring ability is good, but in the basket, he is completely unable to compete with Martin, Can Compete with super muscular men like this.

Butler is good both internally and externally, but he needs someone to pass the ball to him, but now, beside Kobe, all he can play is a supporting role, without enough firing rights, and his power cannot be exerted.

On the other hand, the Nuggets have Leonard, a stable three-point shooter on the outside, Martin, a powerful power forward on the inside, and Anthony, an all-around small forward who can attack with the ball and shoot outside. Andrew Miller's organization and connection, as well as Camby's rebounding guarantee, played well both offensively and defensively.

In the previous two games, the Nuggets defeated the Utah Jazz and the New York Knicks respectively, scoring more than 100 points in a single game, but conceding less than 90 points.
This game faces the Los Angeles Lakers at the Pepsi Center Arena, and the Nuggets are also looking forward to a three-game winning streak.

Abandoning personal heroism and picking up team basketball again, the Nuggets quickly took control of the initiative in the game. Although Kobe's singles is still unsolvable, countless bloody facts have been constantly proving that one person cannot compete a team.

The Nuggets have been dormant for many years, and now they have finally begun to grow into a brand new force in the league. After the disintegration of the OK combination, the Lakers are completely inferior to the chickens.

Jackson also had a grim expression on the sidelines. The current situation has long been in his expectation, even when the OK combination disintegrated, he has already expected that the Lakers will definitely go through a painful period. How long will this painful period last? No one knows.

If, if the OK combination is still there, it is not a problem to deal with the Nuggets. Only super teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, and San Antonio Spurs are qualified to be the opponents of the Lakers.

But that was just an if, but the actual situation now is that even a young bud like Nuggets who has just started to rise can shit and piss on his head.

At the beginning, Jackson also persuaded Kobe to be patient and continue to dormant. He is younger than O'Neal, and the position of team leader will be his sooner or later.

But Kobe didn't listen to this at all. In his opinion, the so-called OK combination was named after O'Neill, which was an insult to him and ignored his contribution to the team.

If you want the partnership of the two to continue, then he must become a father, and the ranking with O'Neal should become Shaquille Bryant.

But Jackson is very clear that that is pure nonsense. If O'Neal really bowed his head, he would not be a big shark. Even if he really bowed his head, an O'Neal without arrogance is still useful. The so-called Shaquille Brown Leant, to put it bluntly, isn't it a SB group?
In fact, if the Lakers want to rise in the shortest time, there is another solution, and this solution lies within the Lakers.

Thinking about it, Jackson couldn't help looking at Vujacic, who was sitting in the corner of the bench and was concentrating on watching the game.

This is the rookie!

Having been in the coaching profession for decades, Jackson definitely has an eye for seeing people. He can be sure that Vujacic's future prospects must be limitless.

In the previous two games, his excellent performance was definitely not a coincidence, nor was it an extraordinary performance, but a display of the rookie's true strength.

Jackson was a little puzzled. Before the draft, he had inspected the Slovenian rookie. At that time, he just felt that this young man played diligently and had a very correct attitude towards basketball. Other than that, he could only shoot. Good ability is a saving grace.

But why, after the draft, Vujacic's performance took a 180-degree turn. From a tail pick in the first round, he suddenly became so hot that he was going to compete for the best rookie.

Of course, these are not important. The important thing is that if Vujacic is willing to cooperate, the Lakers' resurgence is just around the corner.

According to Jackson's idea, Vujacic's best position is the team's sixth man, taking turns with Kobe, soaring points, or two people in the backcourt, just like Isiah Thomas and Joe of the Pistons. The same as Dumars, but the backcourt combination of Kobe and Vujacic has stronger offensive firepower and higher basketball talent. As long as it is paired with a good inside line, this is exactly the iron triangle combination of the previous Bulls dynasty.

But the question is, is Vujacic willing to be Pippen next to Jordan?

Although there is not much contact, Jackson is very clear that Vujacic, a kid from Slovenia, is ambitious and absolutely unwilling to play an auxiliary role on the court all the time.

Vujacic is unwilling, so what about Kobe?
Even more impossible!
Not to mention that it is impossible for Kobe to become Vujacic's assistant, maybe one day when he finds that Vujacic's status in the Lakers is comparable to his, he will drive Vujacic away just like he drove away O'Neal.

Although Kobe said very early: "I am me, I don't want to be Jordan."

However, to have the brilliance like Jordan and own his own kingdom, why wouldn't Kobe yearn for it?

After leaving the Sharks, Kobe finally got a chance to build his own kingdom. He trained hard and wanted to become a great existence beyond Jordan. However, as Jackson expected, at least until now, he still has not seen Kobe becoming a god.

In fact, what Kobe does today is exactly the same as what Pippen did back then.

In the season when the flying man left the Bulls, Pippen became the core of the Bulls contentedly. He also achieved a record of 55 wins and 27 losses in the regular season.

If you look at the current Lakers, you will find some similarities. Without O'Neal, Kobe can't support himself alone. Yes, Kobe does have strong personal abilities, but he is not Jordan, at least not yet.

Without Jordan, Pippen was full of ambition, and without O'Neal, Kobe's heart was higher than the sky. Pippen brought the Bulls to the second round of the playoffs alone, and Kobe might not be able to bring the Lakers into the playoffs.

Without Jordan, Pippen, as the No. [-] star, showed his bottom line, and Kobe, without O'Neal, was exhausting all his energy.

Some people may say that without Pippen, Jordan has never won a championship. Jackson agrees with this point, but he wants to say that as long as Jordan and Pippen are together, Jordan is absolutely ON1. This is the gap between Kobe and Jordan If you are in a team, you can only be the second child.

why?
Not to mention the invisible things like Jordan's ability to read and grasp the game, just look at the shooting percentage one by one.

Jordan's career shooting percentage is more than 50%, while Kobe's shooting percentage is only 45%, and it drops to 43% in the playoffs. Based on this alone, Kobe should bow down. In many cases, this 5% shooting percentage determines the rule Power, and ability has nothing to do with these.

Pippen's ability is not inferior to Jordan's, but it is because of Jordan's stability that Pippen became the striker. Kobe, too, his ability can be said to be very likely to surpass Jordan, but it is another matter when it comes to dominance.

If you can't have Jordan's dominance, you can't have your own kingdom, otherwise you can create your own dynasty, such as O'Neill and Duncan.

Some people may say that they don't expect Kobe to be as dominant as Jordan, as long as Kobe plays a wonderful game, but the question is, does Kobe think so?

Do not!
Kobe wants to do what Jordan did back then. He has super ambitions. In this way, a new problem arises. A player who cannot be Jordan is not willing to be Pippen.

When Kobe's ambitions and practices exceed his own abilities, it often leads to unpleasant results. Pippen also had this kind of heart at the beginning, but he was suppressed after all, which is why the Bulls had the glory of the 90s.

What about Kobe?
The Lakers dynasty ended early, a very important reason is that Kobe's desires were too inflated and could no longer be controlled, which caused the collapse of the Lakers dynasty.

Now, Kobe's desire is still expanding, but the cruel NBA only accepts the overall strong team. Kobe, who is unwilling to be Pippen, has no way to accept a player like O'Neal, and is even unwilling to accept a player who can share the honor with him. people.

If this situation continues, Kobe's achievements in the second half of his career are likely to stagnate, not even as good as Pippen back then.

Jordan is great, but not everyone can be Jordan. Pippen is not Jordan, but it doesn't hinder his greatness.

What about Kobe?Not Jordan, but unwilling to be Pippen.

Kobe is like this, and so is Vujacic, who is farther away from Jordan. The NBA is a league full of personal heroism, and many players also have the desire and arrogance to lead a team. Inspire healthy competition, but if things go on like this, it is likely to hurt the atmosphere of the team. The power struggle of the OK combination turned Los Angeles upside down, and the final breakup is an example.

In short, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a second child.

Jackson can now use the rights of the head coach to force Vujacic, who is still in the rookie period, but what about the future?

When Vujacic's ambitions and desires continue to expand, and when Vujacic can no longer control himself, leaving is inevitable.

Therefore, the Lakers can use Vujacic's sharp dagger for a while, but not forever, unless they are willing to send Kobe away.

But that is absolutely impossible. Kobe is the number one card chosen by the Lakers after sacrificing Shaquille O'Neal.

The game on the field is still going on, Kobe has scored 12 points, but the score on the field has become 20:13, except for a free throw by Odom, all the sports goals of the Lakers are scored by Kobe All done by one person.

On the other hand, for the Nuggets, everyone in the starting five scored and scored. This is the difference!

The Nuggets are playing with five players, but what about the Lakers?One person is being willful, while the other four are watching!
"Phil! He doesn't trust his teammates!" Brian Xiao said suddenly, and everyone knew who he was talking about.

It's not that Kobe can't pass the ball, nor is he a lone wolf as people imagined. He entered the NBA in 1996. He can contribute up to 5.9 assists in the season, which is definitely not low for a scorer.

But now, Kobe's playing style has become very unique. He is unwilling to pass the ball. In the previous two games, he only sent 5 assists, and those [-] assists were all passed to Vujacic.

Brian Shaw was right. Kobe just didn't trust the teammates around him. This kind of distrust was also brought about by the poor performance of those teammates.

I behaved like a shit, do I still expect the team's top card to be valued and pass the ball?
So what if it spreads out?
Isn't it the same as being thrown into a bottomless pit!
Rather than wasting the opportunity in vain, it is better to do it alone!

At least Kobe is confident in his abilities!

But Kobe forgot one thing, basketball is played by five people, no matter how good he is alone, even if he is God, he can't deal with the encirclement and suppression of five people.

Bang!
Kobe Bryant missed a shot and tried to control the overall situation by himself. The consequence was a sharp exhaustion of physical energy and a sharp drop in shooting percentage. This is unavoidable.

Kenyon Martin took off the rebound, the protection of the rebound, the Lakers failed completely today, of course, this cannot be blamed on them, the Nuggets inside Martin, Camby, and even Brazil sitting on the bench Rennei, everyone is a rebounding maniac, the old Divac, the softie Odom want to compete for rebounds in front of these muscles and sticks, it is simply wishful thinking.

Fast attack!

The Nuggets' offense is advancing very fast. They currently have the upper hand and are playing well. Wouldn't it be too wasteful not to make good use of it at this time.

Andrew Miller and Anthony both hit the goal. Although Butler guarded the basket tightly, he was unable to separate himself from the two of them. He could only stand symbolically at the basket, hoping for a deterrent that he didn't have. BUG can appear and play a little role.

Boom!
Andrew. Miller and Anthony wonderful alley-oop, Butler is completely a show.

At this time, among the other players on the Lakers, only Kobe ran within the three-point line, and the others were near the midfield and had already given up chasing.

It can be seen that the problem that the Lakers need to solve now is not only the lineup, but also the psychology of the players. These guys with high self-esteem have become lazy.

Jackson couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout. Although he knew that the game was not easy to play, he was a little surprised that he played so embarrassingly.

Before the players came back, Brian Shaw said to Jackson: "Phil! Don't hesitate any longer, some guys are simply not worthy of the Lakers jersey!"

Jackson was startled, didn't speak, but nodded with firm eyes!

Brian Shaw was right, some guys really should give way!
