I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 205 Chuko Janvejo

In the first half, the Heat had Janeway connecting, and the Lakers had a twin-tower tactic.

In the second half, it's time to try and test, and it's time for a real fight.

After the start of the second half, the Heat's offense stagnated because the Lakers stepped up their defense. Chalmers failed to make a layup, and it was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Chuko began to show off.

Kobe used his experience to shake Wade and caused him to foul, then made two free throws, and the Lakers went ahead by 1 point.

Chu Xiao singled Chalmers here, turned around and made a fallback jumper after a strong attack, but unfortunately he missed a little bit, and the ball became the Heat, but Wade almost made a mistake when dribbling and attacking, and he was fighting for the floor ball with Kobe. At that time, the referee whistled for a scrimmage.

After the scrimmage, Kobe helped the Lakers get the ball, but this offense was an own goal. Kobe's breakthrough pass was dazzling. It not only stunned the opponent but also passed Howard. The latter failed to catch the basketball and slid directly. Out of line.

Kobe immediately made a gesture to World of Warcraft that it was okay. After the Heat scored a layup to overtake by 1 point, Kobe took the initiative to ask for the ball to recover the mistake just now.

He first made a mid-range shot from the right wing with the help of Gasol's high position support, and then made a mid-range shot, but this time it was a bit outrageous, but the magic beast under the basket grabbed the rebound, made a tip-up and made a foul on the Heat , 2+1 is scored.Using this 3-pointer, the Lakers once again overtook the Heat.

In the subsequent offense, Chu Xiao got rid of Chalmers' defense in singles, and shot from outside the three-point line on the left wing. James, who came to defend him, couldn't hold back and knocked down Chu Xiao directly.

Three free throws, all hit.

The Lakers have already led by 5 points.

At this time, the Heat responded immediately.After James attracted the double-team, he made a pass to Bosh, who hit his first mid-range jumper.

Immediately it was the turn of the Lakers to attack. Kobe threw the ball directly behind Howard after jumping off. This ball did not expect Kobe to pass the ball at all, so he concentrated on grabbing rebounds and did not look at his teammates.As a result, Kobe made a pass error. During the counterattack, Bosh hit another ball at the free throw line, and the Lakers missed the defensive position.

However, Chu Xiao immediately regained his color for the boss. He still singled Chalmers, dribbled the ball past the latter's defense in two or three hits, rushed into the penalty area and scored 2 points for a layup.

Then Artest's three-pointer was also assisted by Chu Xiao, and Artest hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.For the Heat, Bosh missed the middle of the free throw line. Today, the Heat's outside shots didn't feel good, but they still held the score tightly.

The two teams chased after each other in scoring. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers and the Heat finally tied 70-70.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, the players of both teams were emphasizing defense. Kobe on the Lakers side shared how to defend James, "James has the ability to improve the performance of his teammates to another level. His effect on teammates is that I don't care about it." What you have seen on your body makes you dare not help defend him, so you can only defend alone. Artest, this is only hard work for you."

"Hey." The strong Artest touched his palm and said, "Don't worry, I will cling to him."

In fact, Artest did not prevent James to death, but the way of one-on-one stalking did play a restrictive effect, making it difficult for James to score, and he was not so smooth when handling the ball, because single defense The restrictive effect prevented James from mobilizing the whole team.

The Heat this season, no, it should be that the Heat started last season. Since they were defeated by the Mavericks in the Finals, Wade willingly gave up the position of the team boss to James.

In the summer of 2010, under the recruitment of Riley and Wade, James and Bosh joined the Heat to form an unprecedented peak Big Three. Although James had already won the MVP in 09 and 10, Wade was also in the At his peak, he was not inferior to James in terms of personal ability alone, and he led the Heat to the first championship in team history as early as 06. It was against the Mavericks that he played a godly performance and staged the best finals in history. one of performance.Therefore, the Heat's tactical system in the 2010-11 season mainly revolved around Wade.And Wade really lived up to expectations, averaging 6 points, 26.5 rebounds, 7 assists, 5.2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in the 1.5 finals, and his shooting percentage was as high as 54.6%, while Bosh also had a stable performance of 18.5 points and 7.3 rebounds , but who would have thought that the "little emperor" James would lose the chain. He averaged only 17.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, and only 3 points per game in the crucial fourth quarter. The Heat were eventually upset and defeated by the Mavericks, becoming the biggest laughing stock of that summer.

Wade learned from the painful experience and willingly gave way to James in the summer of 2011 and asked to assist him. This approach can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations. After all, Wade played a perfect performance in the finals lost to the Mavericks. James lost himself.

But in Wade's view, the main reason for James' loss is psychological pressure. After all, it is unprecedented to hold together when he was playing. James became the public enemy of the United States in that season. The style of play made James, who has always been the core style of play, very unaccustomed to playing off the ball, and this is why he is in a sluggish state.

Wade took the initiative to give up the position of the team leader, which moved James. He also regained his confidence and led the Heat to win the championship in 2012.

Therefore, facing the Heat, the most important way of playing is to restrict James so that he cannot play the whole team to drive it, then this team will become the end of James and Wade taking turns playing singles.

In the view of the Heat, in order to prevent the Lakers from scoring in the fourth quarter, the most important way of playing is to defend Kobe.Because Kobe is a more focused individual scorer, he can tear apart the opponent's defense.

James told his teammates, "I have been teammates with Kobe Bryant as well as an opponent. I understand how good he is. His offensive skills are very comprehensive. His back hits, backs, and breakthroughs are very high. He can score against two or three people. Single defense is It's hard to restrict, you have to double-team and assist to force him out of the ball and let his teammates handle the ball!"

"If it was the 06-08 season, this method would be more effective, because at that time the level of teammates around Kobe was very average, and the others were relatively poor in terms of independent attack and shooting skills. Now it is different. Chu Xiao, who can shoot and pass, and Warcraft, it’s not good to double-team Kobe.” Wade put forward different opinions.

"Then let's take a gamble." James said, "Kobe may be the only star in the league who still shoots in the face of double-teams. His paranoid character may not pass the ball in the face of double-teams."

After the start of the fourth quarter, when the Lakers had the ball in Chu Xiao's hands, the team was playing steadily. Once it was in Kobe's hands, in addition to Wade coming up to defend, James would also help defend from the side, and sometimes even misplaced the ball. Against Kobe, he deliberately emptied Artest, just betting that Kobe would not pass the ball to the latter.

In the beginning, James did make the right bet.

After Kobe got the ball, no matter whether he faced Wade or James, or the two defended him together, he still played correctly.

But Kobe, who claims to have very comprehensive offensive skills, only used one move when he beat James, which caused the opponent a headache.

The name of that trick is post-up singles.

乔丹之后，科比是将背身单打这一篮球技术发挥的最好的球员，灵活的脚步以及变化多样的假动作，使得对手在防守过程中很难防守。于是身高1米98、体重96公斤的科比，背打身高2米03、体重113公斤的詹姆斯4投3中。

Kobe's physical fitness is indeed inferior to James, and he looks one size smaller than the opponent, but his skills can be said to be the richest in the history of the league.Jordan once said: "There is only one person who can win with me, and that person is Kobe, because he stole all my skills." The founder of Dream Dance "Dream" Olajuwon also said : "Kobe is my most proud disciple."

Therefore, in the process of post-up singles, Kobe often uses his own footsteps. If the defender sticks tightly, it is easy to be passed by one step. .James has experienced Kobe's technique many times. When defending him, he always leaves a little space. Otherwise, he can definitely stand up against Kobe with James' strength. James and Howard used to be stuck inside. During the process, Howard didn't take advantage of anything, which is enough to show how terrifying James' power is.

But in the face of Kobe's 4 of 3 shots, James still felt helpless.

Fortunately, after Kobe played several balls in a row, his physical strength dropped significantly, and his footsteps were no longer so flexible. When James thought he was going to guard him, Kobe didn't force a shot, but passed the ball, which was left on the sidelines. Artest, Haslem, who was closest to him, rushed forward when he saw this.

To the opponent's surprise, Artest did not choose to force a three-point shot, but took advantage of Haslem's jump, broke into the penalty area with a breakthrough step, and then handed it to the monster under the basket, who made a strong move. It's a fried basket.

When the Heat defended Kobe Bryant, the Lakers really defended James alone. The latter was entangled by Artest, and the smoothness of mobilizing the team was affected. As a last resort, he had to force Artest alone, or Pass to Wade for a single.

So in the 8 minutes after the opening of the fourth quarter, the scores of the Heat and the Lakers were mainly concentrated on Kobe, James, Howard and Wade.

Seeing this, Chu Xiao was in a daze, "The dead are like a husband, and they never give up day and night." Thinking back to the 2008 BJ Olympics, these four people played in the same team.The four of them played together, and they were impeccable in offense and defense. They were too strong. Before the finals, there was no opponent. In the finals, the Spanish team with the Gasol brothers struggled a few times, but was defeated by Kobe's "" 3+1" knocks down the dust in an instant.

These four players each have their own strengths, and together they are invincible, but now they are divided into teams of two and two. Naturally, sparks fly, and the Lakers and Heat have always maintained a point difference of about 1 to 3 points.
