I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 198 The Biggest Villain in San Antonio History
The Lakers lost to the Clippers in the same city, and Chu Xiao lost to Paul, the league's number one point guard, seemed unexpected and reasonable.

But Kobe, who has always had a bad face after losing, comforted Chu Xiao with an unprecedented kindness, "You just temporarily lost to a 'God of Point Guard', that's all, there is nothing to be sad about, I believe the next game You can definitely get it back."

When Chu Xiao heard the words, what she cared about was, "Why is Paul called the god of point guards?"

"This..." Kobe thought for a while and said, "Paul is one of the most balanced point guards in NBA history. His offense and defense are both top-notch and he has a big heart. It can be said that he has no shortcomings. In the 2007-08 season, Paul officially became the One of the best point guards in the league, and people have slowly started calling him the point guard god since then."

"Why can Paul reach such heights?" Kobe asked himself and answered, "He has solid basic skills, solid ball control, and good passing awareness. He can be called the best point guard in active service, and the best point guard must do three Points: cut in, shoot accurately, and pass well.

Can cut in: Paul is good at breaking through with the ball, often tearing apart the opponent's defense with speed and rhythm.

Accurate shooting: Paul's shooting is very accurate. In the area inside the three-point line, the shooting percentage is more than half.Among them, the basket shooting rate is 86%, the short-range two-point shooting rate is 50.5%, the mid-range two-point shooting rate is 50.5%, and the long-range two-point shooting rate is 52.0%.

Paul doesn't have many opportunities to play "EasyBall". His assist rate is only 18%, that is, 82% of the balls are hit by his own attack with the ball.It's rare to be able to do so efficiently.

Pass well: In the NBA, the point guard often decides the offensive routine. Paul can cut in with the ball, shoot accurately, and has both vision and awareness of the pass. This is the basis for a good pass.He is the leader and metronome of the court. Through the control of the ball, he finds the opponent's loopholes, disintegrates their defensive camp, and passes the ball to the most suitable player at the right time to score points. "

Kobe told Chu Xiao, "In fact, you have done well in these three aspects. In time, I think you will become the 1.98-meter version of Paul, and you will only be stronger than him, so I don't need to worry about you. I just hope you Through the first fight with him, understand where his abilities are, then you will have a chance to beat him next time."

Kobe and Paul have played against Paul in the Western Conference for seven or eight years, and have had in-depth cooperation in the national team and the All-Star Game. His understanding of Paul can be described as comprehensive.After Kobe's analysis and guidance, Chu Xiao soon knew what Paul's abilities were.

The 1.83-meter Paul has a very stable foot and well-developed hips, which can withstand tall players.He has both attitude and skills, and he can face small forwards and even get stuck in the center. In the game, he is often seen misplaced to defend top small forwards like Durant or James.

He is also well versed in tough defensive skills, and his constant small moves annoy his opponents.On mismatches against taller guys, Paul usually jams the opponent's line of travel, pushing him off the rim while giving him contact to drop his shot.

Chu Xiao lost his shooting sight under such circumstances.

Kobe finally said, "Paul prefers to defend players in the low post rather than chasing them on the outside. If you choose to drop the post, he will be very happy. So, the next time you face Paul, don't entangle with him in the low post and cruise on the outside more. If he made the investment, it is his responsibility. If you still don’t understand what I said, then go on and see how Deron beat Paul, I believe you will gain a lot.”

With Kobe's comfort and persuasion, Chu Xiao quickly came out of the frustration of defeat, which can be seen from his performance against the next opponent.

The Lakers will meet a total of five opponents before January 1, and they have all played against each other. They are the Nuggets, Rockets, Spurs, Thunder and Cavaliers.

而在对阵掘金和火箭的比赛上，都毫无例外地取得了大胜。楚晓在这两场比赛中打得也相当轻松，一个14投8中砍下20分、13个助攻，一个14投9中砍下24分、9个助攻。科比也全部“20+”。

Warcraft, who was out of form in the previous two games, seems to have found the way to the peak of the past, that is, to pick up the rebound first.In this way, you need to put all your energy on defense, no longer obsessed with your own shot rights, but with the rebounds, so you grabbed 26 rebounds against the Nuggets, and grabbed 21 rebounds against the Rockets. [-].

After the Lakers played two smooth games, they didn't have any trouble until they met the Spurs, because it was an away game, and that team also had a "No. 21 rookie", who was the biggest player in San Antonio's history. villains!

The Spurs, formerly known as the Dallas Bushes, were established in 1967. The team was named after the bushes all over Texas, and used the Roadrunner (also known as the Chaparral Cock) as the team logo and mascot.The Bushes became one of the 11 ABA teams and the only former ABA team to have won the NBA championship after the merger between the ABA and the NBA.Successively in the 1998-99 season, 2002-03 season, 2004-05 season, 2006-07 season won four championships, this result ranked fifth in the league.

People often hear the Spurs coach Gregg Popovich complaining that San Antonio is a small city, unable to attract big stars, and it is difficult to survive.In fact, San Antonio is really not a small city. It is located in the southernmost state of Texas and is one of the three major cities in Texas. The other two are Houston and Dallas. At the beginning, the population was small and it was a place with vast land and abundant resources. But in recent years According to the U.S. census on July 2004, 7, the population of San Antonio was 1, ranking eighth in the United States, only 1236249 fewer than the seventh-ranked San Diego, and 27500 more than the ninth-ranked Dallas.

Then why do people always say it is a small city?Perhaps because Texas has the aerospace city Houston and the state capital Dallas, and San Antonio is not a Chinese gathering area, nor is it a political, financial or important economic area, so it is not well-known in China. In addition, it is located in the southern United States. In the inland area near Mexico, the transportation is not very convenient, there are no direct flights with major international cities, the consumption is relatively cheap, and life is monotonous... This is the fact that San Antonio is not an international metropolis.

Just like the leader of the Spurs, Duncan, this city is always very low-key, so low-key that people almost forget that this unsmiling Duncan joined the Spurs as the No. 1997 pick in 16. It has been [-] years since he entered the league. , Garnett, are absolutely "old".

He has almost perfect basic skills and concepts among players in the restricted area. He is good at low-post singles and double-teaming. In addition, he also has titles such as "Daddy", "No. 45 Rookie" and "The Biggest Villain in San Antonio History".

"Stay dumb" is naturally because of his unsmiling and dull expression.

"Rookie No. 21" comes from the All-Star Game of a certain year. During the main game, the top ten shots of each star's career were broadcast, but when it was broadcast to Duncan, it was the top ten shots of the 2011-2012 season. He slashed 30+ at every turn, grabbing more than a dozen or twenty rebounds, which shocked people, and even he himself stared blankly... At this time, after the commentator caught his expression, , he joked, "It turns out that our No. 21 is still a rookie."

This ridicule is a compliment and affirmation. A player can still play a dominant performance at the age of 37. It makes people feel like seeing Duncan when he just entered the league in the 1997 season. Times are changing, and the only constant is forever. It's the "No. 21 rookie."

In last year's playoffs, in the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs led the Oklahoma City Thunder 2-0, but then the Thunder won four consecutive cities and eliminated the Spurs 4-2.In that series, Duncan actually once again showed why he is the number one power forward in history, but "French Sports Car" Parker and "Argentine Demon Sword" Ginobili are both old, and only Duncan is still the No. 21 rookie.

As we all know, "Shark" O'Neal has always been very arrogant and arrogant. He looked down on "Gorilla" Ewing and "Admiral" Robinson in the interior, but he respected or admired him. One was "Big Dream" O'Neill. Rajuwon, the other one is "Stone Buddha" Duncan.

The "Big Shark" at his peak was like a bug on the court, and defending him was a very troublesome problem, because defending the Shark alone was not enough. He must be able to defend the "Big Shark", so when playing against most teams, "Big Shark" can easily win, so is it true that no one can limit him?In fact, there are still, and that is Duncan of the Spurs.

"Big Shark" once said, "It's a headache to match up with Shifo."

"Shark" O'Neal and "Stone Buddha" Duncan, one is the most violent center in history, and the other is the number one power forward in history.The difference between the two is only 4 years, so the peak period can be regarded as overlapping.Both of them played 19 seasons in the NBA. O'Neal has 4 crowns and 3 FMVPs, and Duncan has 5 crowns and 3 FMVPs.

The two can be said to have honor and honor, and their strength is also among the top 10 in history. They have played a total of 62 times, including 32 times in the regular season and 30 times in the playoffs.

In the regular season, Duncan was 14 wins and 18 losses. During the three consecutive championships, O'Neal had a superstar teammate like Kobe by his side, and he had an advantage against anyone.Therefore, O'Neill has the upper hand in the record, but the data of the two are very close.O'Neal averaged 21.7 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, and 53.3% shooting; Duncan averaged 22 points, 12.1 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, and 45.2% shooting.The scoring and rebounding of the two are very close, and the shooting percentage is slightly different, but neither can take advantage of the other.

In the playoffs, the two won 30 games each in 15 matches, and the data is very close: O'Neal averaged 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game, and Duncan averaged 25.6 points, 13 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks. O'Neal's shooting percentage was 52.6%. Duncan is 48.5%.Although one of them is a center and the other is a power forward, as the core of the team, they often face each other directly.

However, whether it is team record or personal data, the two are really equal. Duncan can't prevent O'Neal who has the same bug, and O'Neal can't affect Duncan's stable performance. The matchup between them is the real "fairy". fight".

Why did the "Stone Buddha" Duncan, who is so powerful but has a cute expression, become the biggest villain in the history of San Antonio?
If you go back in time, people will find that "Argentine Demon Sword" Ginobili was still a little freshman with fluttering hair, and "French Sports Car" Parker was still a teenager... Ever since he met Duncan, he always liked to touch the back of their heads, so Almost, Ginobili went bald, and the "French sports car" started leaking oil.

His "evil deeds" are far more than these. For example, when welcoming his teammates off the court, he first shakes hands with others pretending to be enthusiastic, and when he returns to his back, he sneaks up on his teammates' ass with flying feet, and bounces the ball into the opponent's ass because he is jealous On the face, what was even more frightening was that he occupied the entire training ground of the opponent by himself, but he did not show any stage fright.

The most heartbreaking thing is that he once lied to an Akron teenager with the phrase "the future is yours", and then lied to him for many years.

Even though many years later, the Akron teenager has reached middle age, he still finds that every time he wants to win the championship, he always stands in front of the "villain" who once told him "the future league is yours" .

He almost wanted to tell the "villain" in tears: "You lied to me!"
