Chapter 271

If time could start over again, would Kobe and Wang Dalin form the "Reaper Special Training Camp" last summer?

Maybe Kobe himself doesn't know the answer!

They spent all day in the arena last summer. Whether it was individual training or one-on-one duels, Wang Dalin learned too many skills from Kobe, and combined with his own better physical condition, he achieved the effect of surpassing others.

If Kobe didn't practice hard with him every day this summer, how could he improve so fast?

In a sense... Kobe can even be called his teacher!

Well...of course it is "teacher and friend"!
So when Wang Dalin scored the ball again and again under Kobe's strong defense, he didn't know whether Kobe was happy or sad.

Of course Kobe is not afraid of any challenge, let alone success or failure... He just hopes to surpass Jordan and become the best basketball player in the world.

For this goal, he has been struggling in the league for 8 full seasons, and he is getting closer and closer to his ultimate goal. Unexpectedly, at this time, there will be a stronger opponent than Jordan... that is Wang Dalin!
Therefore, Kobe in this life has changed his ultimate goal. He is no longer obsessed with surpassing Jordan, but changed it to "beyond Wang Dalin"!
If you want to surpass Jordan, you must win more championships than him, more MVPs, and more FMVPs, scoring champions, best team, best defensive team... This is almost an impossible goal!
To surpass Wang Dalin?
At present, it seems that only 3 championships, 3 MVPs, 3 FMVPs, 3 scoring champions and a few sporadic personal honors are needed.

Uh... The championship mentioned here refers to the championship won by leading the team as the boss of the team, and the status of the second master does not count!
So Kobe thinks that the gap between himself and Wang Dalin is already very large, at least...he has been the leader of the team three years ago, but he is still only the second leader!

How can this go beyond him?

In any case, O'Neal is still the leader of the Lakers... Even though Kobe's performance has surpassed O'Neal this season, people generally still think that O'Neal is the leader of the Lakers.

That's why Kobe will go all out in the playoffs. He wants everyone to see... I am the strongest person on the Lakers!
西部决赛G1战已经进行到了比赛的最后1分29秒，场上比分97:98，湖人暂时领先1分，不过球权在快船手上。

After Wang Dalin got the ball in the high position, Kobe immediately lowered his center of gravity and stuck it up.

In this game, Wang Dalin has already made 5 three-pointers, two of which were hit directly in front of Kobe, so Kobe is very close to him at this moment, leaving no room for him to shoot at all.

Wang Dalin lowered his center of gravity, but he just bent down to protect the ball by his side, put his head forward to withstand Kobe, and his knees did not bend too much... This is to maintain a stronger shooting threat.

If he bends his knees too much, of course his center of gravity can be lowered and he can start faster, but he will be much slower if he wants to pull.

At this point in the game, the defensive intensity of both sides has risen to a suffocating level. How can there be room for you to break through?
So Wang Dalin didn't even think about breaking into the inside line at all. He made up his mind from the very beginning...he would use an emergency stop jump shot for this shot.

Kobe panted slightly, his arms dangled irregularly in front of Wang Dalin, always maintaining a faint defensive pressure.

Wang Dalin raised his head suddenly, his eyes swept to Artest's position on the right, and Kobe involuntarily moved a small step to the right.

It was only a small step sideways, and he didn't lose his defensive position because of it, but this was enough for Wang Dalin!
Wang Dalin suddenly started to break through to the left, took a big step and threw Kobe to the back of his right, and then made a movement of collecting the ball, and it seemed that he was about to pull out a jumper.

Kobe flew forward without hesitation... He knew he couldn't block Wang Dalin's shot, but he just wanted to interfere with him from the side and rear.

But when he jumped into the air, he realized that Wang Dalin just made a fake "worshiping Buddha"...he didn't receive the ball!
Wang Dalin pulled the ball to the right with a "Sam Gold", and then made a jump shot after taking a step... Although Karl Malone on the other side had rushed to help defend, it was obviously a step too late.

The basketball crossed a rather flat arc and plunged into the basket.

99:98, the Clippers overtook the score!
O'Neal's eyes at the basket were full of exhaustion. He had consumed too much energy this night. Even though he had scored 22 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in the first three quarters, and put his old opponent Mourning on the floor for a good rub, he only scored 2 points in total in the fourth quarter...it was still obtained by free throws!
If the head of a team doesn't score a single game in the fourth quarter, it means...he is really tired!

Mourning, who was on the bench beside the court, jumped up excitedly, waving the towel vigorously, and all the boys around him followed him and danced the towel... At this critical moment, Wang Dalin's ball really boosted morale!

One more word... Mourning has been beaten to 6 fouls by O'Neal and left the field!

He wasn't the only one...Eli was also beaten by O'Neal to 6 fouls and left the field. Wang Zhizhi and Drobiak also paid 4 fouls on O'Neal, and even Wang Dalin was deflated on O'Neal and paid 2 fouls!
Made so many fouls and only scored 24 points. One can imagine how "shocking" O'Neal's free throw percentage is tonight?
To put it bluntly... It is estimated that a random basketball fan on the street is more accurate than his free throw!

O'Neal is already exhausted, and his little physical strength can only make a little contribution on the defensive end, and he must not be counted on the offensive end.

Karl Malone and Gary Payton were even more unbearable, their physical strength was not as good as O'Neal's!

Therefore, the Lakers' offense can only rely on Kobe, and even Payton played the role of "dribbling guard", passing the ball to Kobe as soon as halftime passed.

Kobe held the ball to observe Wang Dalin's defensive position, and then directly accelerated and broke through to the inside.

Wang Dalin followed him like a shadow, and followed him with a slippery step. Unexpectedly, Kobe made an emergency stop after taking a sudden step.

Wang Dalin was taken aback... Just now he made an emergency stop at this position, and Kobe obviously wanted to return him an "ANSWER-BALL"!
So Wang Dalin raised his arms and rushed forward, but Kobe didn't collect the ball after a sudden stop, but immediately started to take a step forward.

"Shh!"

This goal was scored without any suspense. After all, it was an open jump shot after completely getting rid of the defense... If Kobe can't even make this kind of ball, he might as well fly back to Italy and become a blacksmith.

Wang Dalin sighed, he had tried his best, but Kobe's sudden start after an emergency stop was really hard to guard against, even more helpless than Iverson's breakthrough relying on extreme speed.

After coming to the 8th season of his career, Kobe finally practiced his unique skills to the point of perfection... His breakthrough does not require a very fast absolute speed, but can get rid of his opponent only by relying on the change of rhythm during the breakthrough process!
One stop and one burst can basically get rid of most of the defenders. If you encounter a particularly strong defensive champion, such as Bruce Bowen, Tony Allen or Kawhi Leonard, the big deal is another emergency stop and sudden start.

No blows, no black, in the field of rhythm changes in dribble breakthroughs, Kobe is definitely the strongest in NBA history... none of them!

This is also a stunt he has developed in combination with his own physical condition. Even if others want to imitate it, it will be even more difficult... First of all, you have to have Kobe's powerful combination of man and ball, and then you have to master an excellent dribbling rhythm.

Of course, if your physical fitness is as strong as Michael Jordan or LeBron James, then you don't need to be so troublesome, just rely on your speed and strength to force your way!

打进这一球后，科比本场比赛已经22投12中，其中三分球5投2中，外加罚球10投8中，砍下了34分9篮板7助攻2抢断1盖帽……他的个人表现绝对盖过了球队老大奥尼尔。

不过对面的王大林显然更胜一筹……他和科比一样出手了22次，不过他命中了13球，其中三分球9投5中，外加罚球10投9中，已经砍下了40分17篮板10助攻2抢断2盖帽。

In addition to Wang Dalin, Artest for the Clippers has also scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals... With Wang Dalin's assists, Artest played very comfortably on the offensive end. He made at least seven open shots that night.

And on the defensive end, he doesn't have to mark Kobe most of the time. Artest's physical condition is very good, even if he plays another round of overtime.

The current score is so stalemate, the Clippers players and the old Dunleavy are already mentally prepared to play overtime.

I guess that's what they think... instead of ending the battle in regular time, it's better to fight for physical strength in overtime!
Regardless of whether this game can be won or not, as long as overtime is played, it will be a heavy blow to the Lakers.

After all, the Lakers' "F4" has three "people with physical difficulties". If it is really overtime, it is estimated that Phil Jackson may remove Malone and Payton.

Even O'Neill's stamina gauge has almost bottomed out. If he plays overtime, he may have negative effects on the court!

Besides... This is a seven-game four-win Western Conference Finals. Even if the Lakers try their best to win this game, can a few "old men" in their thirties recover in a short time?

What will they do next time?
For the Lakers players and Jackson, this game must end within regular time, otherwise they will really be passive.

With 48 seconds left in the game, Wang Dalin singled Kobe with the ball again.

This game has reached the most critical moment. At this time, neither Wang Dalin nor Kobe can hand over the ball... At the most critical moment, the battle can only be resolved by the strongest stars of both sides!
Just now Wang Dalin had already tricked Kobe once with a fake move, and he knew that using the same move again would probably not produce any effect, so this time he planned to use the safest way of attack... that is to hit with his back!

Wang Dalin gave Artest a wink, and the latter came over to do a pick-and-roll for him. Wang Dalin took the opportunity to dribble a big step into the three-second zone, and directly came to the corner to dribble with his back.

Kobe bypassed the screen and returned to Wang Dalin, raised his arm and pushed his lower back vigorously, but his strength couldn't push Wang Dalin.

Wang Dalin dribbled the ball with his back and took a step to the left at 45 degrees, then turned and leaned back.

Kobe immediately raised his hand and rushed forward to interfere, but Wang Dalin was too tall and leaned back a lot, so his palm could not seal Wang Dalin's sight.

Uh, the arms are still a little short... If his arms were as long as Leonard's, they wouldn't even be able to seal Wang Dalin's eyes.

"Shh!"

The goal came cleanly, like the 13 he had scored before.

At 101:100, the Clippers once again overtook the score by 1 point... Now there are 26 seconds left in the time, even if the Lakers' attack drags the time out, the Clippers still have the last chance to attack.

Of course, it is impossible for the Lakers to run out of time in this attack... In case Kobe misses, they must give themselves time to compete for offensive rebounds and make a second attack.

Will Kobe miss?

Some media in later generations conducted a special survey, and the object of the survey was the head coaches of NBA teams. The question was like this-"When the game is in the last few seconds and your team is still behind by 1 or 2 points, who would you choose to make the last shot?"

Almost all head coaches have chosen Kobe because they firmly believe that Kobe has the strongest key ball ability in NBA history!
These head coaches are not those keyboard warriors on the Internet, and their professionalism is of course beyond doubt.

In the original history, Kobe is the player with the most lore shots in NBA history, but his number of lore shots is also the most in history.

In other words... Kobe's lore shot efficiency is not the highest, he is just the most daring to make shots at critical moments, and he can also make shots!
You must know that the defensive intensity that the lore must face must be the highest. It is almost impossible for anyone to create a decent shooting space in this situation... Being able to shoot is already very good, as for the shooting rate, it is still second.

Kobe is just the one who is almost certain to be able to shoot the ball, even if there is no shot space, he can force a shot against the defense!

In this case, he can even maintain a certain shooting percentage, which is quite scary... That's why those head coaches will unanimously choose him to execute the last shot.

In a word...it doesn't matter whether you get in or not, at least I can win a chance!
Uh... The shot in the last few seconds of the game is definitely different from the shot with a full shot time left. With enough time, Kobe's offensive efficiency will not be as low as the lore shot!

That's why Wang Dalin raised his spirits, as if he was facing a big enemy... Although the Clippers still have the last chance to attack, who knows if they can make it?

If they can defend against Kobe's attack, the Clippers will almost certainly win the game;

If you can't prevent it, you can only fight for the lore...
