I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 165 The Triangle Offense Reappears
The next game was completely one-sided. Kwame Brown seemed to be psychologically shadowed by Chu Xiao's hip-riding dunk. As long as he saw Chu Xiao rushing over with the ball and wanted to hide, the coach could only replace him. Next, Spencer Hawes, who is less capable, was replaced.

Originally, the team's starting center was Bynum, Kwame Brown was Bynum's substitute, and Hawes was the substitute's substitute.

For players like Kobe, Howard, and Chu Xiao, after Hawes played, it was actually not much different from not playing.The Lakers players began to attack the 76ers' inside crazily. After Chu Xiao played Kobe, he had a few alley-oops with Warcraft and bombed the opponent's inside.

Although Chu Xiao and Kobe would be booed all over the sky every time they held the ball, they were not affected at all, and even felt that this was the most special booing they had ever heard, which was very warm.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 40 points 26-14.

In the second quarter, Kwame Brown still failed to get a chance to play, and the Lakers sent a full bench lineup. Except for Odom, who returned to the Lakers family, he missed a few shots in the opening game and was still in the state. Mick Adams, Jamison and others were almost 100% hit, and even Thackeray, who got the chance to play, showed two dunks, so happy!

When the game is over, you will find that the two substitutes of the Lakers, Meeks and Thackeray, scored as much as the entire bench of the 76ers. Among them, Thackeray only played 18 minutes and 20 seconds and made 8 of 5 shots. Meeks scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 8 steals on 4 of 12 shots.Coincidentally, the points scored by the SM duo coincided with the total points scored by the opposing 2ers' entire bench, and they were finally relieved.

Talking about the game form on the court, after the first half, the Lakers led 70-50 by 20 points.

In the second half, Kwame Brown finally reappeared, and Chu Xiao of the Lakers was pressed on the bench to rest. In fact, this was intentional by Zen Master. He didn't want this young player to show his sharpness too much. Provoking the fans too much, otherwise it will intensify the conflict, and it will not be of much benefit to his growth, because he is different from Kobe. The latter is already a top star in the world, and he has to cherish his feathers.

Chu Xiao rested off the court, Kobe played point guard, Artest appeared at the shooting guard position, Odom got another chance to play, he replaced Chu Xiao at the small forward position, Gasol was still a power forward, and Warcraft center.

So a very interesting thing happened on the field, Kobe, Artest, Odom, Gasol plus Kwame Brown of the opposing team, there are 5 players on the field who are or have played for the Lakers However, seeing such a situation, it seems like a dream in 2007 and 2010.

These two years are the two peaks of the Lakers' desolation and glory.

2007 was the most lonely time for the Lakers, but that was when Kobe was at his peak, but the Lakers wasted Kobe's peak. Look at the teammates around him at that time. The starters were Smush Parker, Luke Walton, Odom and Kwame Brown.

Except for Odom, what about other people's abilities? Kwame Brown's classic remark "Don't pass the ball to me, I may not make it" happened during that period, which is why the Lakers have been in the postseason for two consecutive years. The reason why he met the Suns in the game and was eliminated by the opponent again was that he entered the playoffs at that time and fought against the peak Suns for 7 games, in fact, it was all supported by Kobe alone.Especially in the last game of being eliminated, Kobe was double-teamed by two people. What happened after he chose to pass the ball?Don't go in, don't go in, don't go in.

How does this make Kobe at his peak accept.Kobe, who frequently relied on his personal ability to chase points in the first half, stopped shooting in the second half and passed all the balls. He wants to tell the Lakers management to keep his eyes open to see what teammates he has.

The end result is that Kobe asked for a transfer that summer, and it got to that extent.Finally, in 2008, the Lakers sent Kwame Brown, Crittenton, Aaron McGee and Marc Gasol for the rights to sign Pau Gasol and a 2010 second-round pick.

To put it simply, match Kobe with Gasol and other good role players, and the Lakers achieved two consecutive championships from 2009 to 2010.

In fact, speaking of Kwame Brown, he is still a miserable player. On January 2008, 1, in the "Pacific Civil War" between the Lakers and the Suns, Brown's performance was really terrible. Only contributed 27 points on 8 of 3 shots, but also surrendered 8 turnovers.In one attack, Brown was unguarded, and he was unbelievable that he didn't even dunk an empty basket.This made Staples fans quite dissatisfied.Then, as long as Brown catches the ball, the entire stadium will be booed loudly.

He is the first high school student champion in history, how could he perform so poorly?

Kwame Brown was born in Charleston, South Carolina, USA on March 1982, 3. He was selected by the Washington Wizards with the first overall pick in the 10 NBA draft and became the first high school student in NBA history. The performance is far from its title of champion, and it is called "the champion of parallel imports".

In fact, he is a big man with strong physical fitness.

A big boy who works hard to support his younger siblings and save his mother from working so hard;

A high school student who entered the league prematurely in order to make money, his mental quality is not strong enough;

A No. [-] pick handpicked by the god of basketball, Michael Jordan, has high expectations. You can hear people saying that God’s choice is not wrong all day long. You must be worthy of the title of No. [-] pick;

When one practiced with Jordan, if he made a mistake, he would be scolded as gay;
After one was traded, he met another god—the poor man of Kobe...

He can become the No. [-] pick, which shows that he has his own talent and hard work. Let's see who the students of the same level are in that year. The second place Tyson Chandler has become the league's recognized top defensive center. Sol, an All-Star player, has won the NBA championship long ago, and it is two.

Compared with the two, Kwame Brown may not reach the level of the No. [-] pick, but it will not be too far behind. It can only be said that he is unlucky. He became a teammate of God after graduating from high school. Too harsh, especially for Brown, but Brown did not get too much attention during his rookie period, and he would be sent off if he made a mistake. "Hand" can be called a unique skill, but he is always unable to catch the ball with his strong physical fitness, which is very frustrating.

If he entered the league later, or was drafted a little lower, or went to a team that was rebuilt with peace of mind, then he is probably better than now, maybe another "Warcraft"...

But the most painful thing in the world is that there is no regret medicine. Today's Kwame Brown can only lead a 2-year 600 million contract. The first offense was not bad, but he can make the opponent feel at ease to retreat when he is on the court, and the style of play is not always hard. In summary, except for the fingers, everything else is top-notch.Defensively, the card position is very good, and the single defense is top-notch. This is the only reason why Zen Master let him start when he was in the Lakers. It's just that today's basketball era is different from the past, and his role is even more limited. The 76ers signed him , I just hope that I can protect the rebounds, do some pick-and-roll defense, and the most important thing is to take care of Bynum's substitute. As a result, Bynum was injured...

So, how do the 76ers play this season?

After the start of the third quarter, the Lakers played a triangle offense under Kobe's control.

The so-called triangle offense requires 3 players, which requires high mobility and passing awareness of the players, and requires a stable mid-range and long-range shooting ability.The triangle offense during the Lakers' two consecutive championships is usually used when Kobe, Gasol and Odom are on the court at the same time. It is divided into two modes: forward triangle and inverted triangle.

I saw Kobe holding the ball above the free throw line to support. Gasol and Odom wandered around the edge of the three-second zone between the free throw line and the baseline looking for an opportunity to make an air cut. After Kobe attracted two defensive players to double-team , Odom immediately saw the opportunity to cut in, and then the ball arrived, and he made a layup!
This is a typical right triangle.

Then Gasol was replaced by the person who supported the offense at the free throw line or near the bottom line in the three-second zone. Kobe and Odom succeeded in shooting under the support of the former. triangle pattern.

In fact, there are many changes in the triangle offense. The forward triangle and the inverted triangle are just two basic frameworks. As long as the player has high flexibility and golf quotient, he can exert his power.

Odom has just returned to the Lakers. He was out of shape when he came off the bench in the second quarter, but in the third quarter, under the activation of the triangle offense, he scored 6 consecutive points through a layup, which made people vaguely see the "left-handed magician" back then. The demeanor of "The Best Sixth Man".

Of course, it is impossible for him to return to the original Odom in one game, which requires his continuous hard training and running-in with his teammates.Otherwise, the person is back, but the skills are no longer there.

Artest himself is a champion member of the Lakers and is no stranger to the triangle offense. He also hit two three-pointers with Kobe's support.

Warcraft is indeed not familiar with the triangle offense, but it is Kwame Brown who defends him, and he only needs to stay in the penalty area and eat cakes.Both Kobe and Gasol took the initiative to feed him the ball. Even though the former had no communication with him, this did not affect their joint efforts to score points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led 98-72 by 26 points.

In the last quarter, not only Chu Xiao didn't need to play, but even the other starters didn't need to play, so Thackeray and Meeks teamed up to show their power, and this was the excitement of the SM team singled out the entire bench of the 76ers.

After the game ended, the Lakers defeated the 111ers 98-76 away.

Kobe scored 34 points and 6 assists, Chu Xiao scored 19 points and 6 assists (only played halftime, did not achieve the expected high score), and Warcraft scored 17 points and 11 rebounds. Nick Young of the 76ers finally made 23 of 12 shots and scored 30 points. He took 3 more shots than Kobe Bryant, but scored 4 points less. I don’t know if he will make crazy shots and defend in the next game. Will be isolated by teammates and coaches...

It felt good to win again, and Kobe's mood in his hometown was obviously improved, and he was even outspoken about the negative news about himself.

Before Warcraft complained to the media that they did not have enough possession of the ball, which alluded to Kobe as a "ball bully". How could the reporter of the "Philadelphia Daily" miss such an interview opportunity? In this regard, Kobe responded positively: "I will not say that I am a ball bully. I am a shooter. I don't need a lot of balls. The ball goes in."

Bryant went on to say: "You have to accept this kind of criticism, good and bad. This is a compulsory course as a shooter. If you are a passer, if he can't send the correct pass, he may not be accepted. Described as selfish, although no one can guarantee that every pass can be converted into an assist, it is true that the pressure of the passer is much less than that of the shooter. So this is shooting, a basketball skill that is more likely to be criticized. "

科比本场的“30+”也让他再度完成了一项超越。上一场他拿到30分之后，已经成为联盟中第三位以34岁老将身份完成连续5场得分“30+”壮举的球员，之前只有贾巴尔和乔丹完成过。现在，科比已经把这一纪录提高到6场。
