Basketball myth

Chapter 182 The Game in the Swamp

When O'Neal committed his third foul in the 7th minute, Thomas called a timeout!I had to call a timeout!
"Sorry! Guys! Everything on the court is my fault! I didn't expect that the Jazz would do this! I thought they were just making some small moves! I didn't expect to hit our vitals directly! Hmm ! My mistake! But we still have a chance to win this game!"

"Ratliff, after you play, defend Malone well! Your only task is to defend Malone, use fouls, go forward, etc., change tricks! Don't begrudge your physical strength! Barkley, you are here The end point of the triangle offense! Kevin, you started to guide our offense after you came on the court! Hill, when you catch the ball, you are on the outside, and lead your defense to the outside! Once the opponent is no longer double-teaming you, give me a hard hit attack!"

"Kobe, your task is the heaviest! I want you to start attacking in the paint after you come on the court! It's best to let Malone take a rest! I want you to show your strength when Hill is restricted! Let everyone The team's offense will start another game under your leadership!" Thomas looked at Kobe and ordered seriously!

……

"Thomas, do you really trust Kobe to do such a thing? You know, this is only his second year as a high school student! Such an occasion is a bit too big for him!" The assistant on the side The coach reminded and said!

"In the first game, who was going to guide the Lakers' first offense! After I got off the field, I didn't give any hints, who stood up? Trust every player on the field! I will give Kobe's starting position means he can do his own thing well!"

"Don't worry! Although Kobe sometimes plays a bit egotistical! However, I put him in the sun and faced the situation where the Jazz relaxed his defense. I will give us a surprise! Now I don't have any There is a better way, tactics need to be executed by someone, and Kobe’s doing this is already the best way!"

After the Lakers played again, they brought the game even more into the quagmire. They never attacked in less than 24 seconds. Kevin was a little uncomfortable facing Stockton's defense!Although Stockton's legs and feet are not as good as Kevin's, the ubiquitous black feet make Kevin very uncomfortable!
But this time, Kobe stood up!
After a timeout, Hill took the ball from the outside, looked at his defenders, and looked at the defense the Jazz had arranged on his possible breakthrough path. He shrugged helplessly and passed the ball directly. It was given to Kevin. Kevin faced Stockton's half-foot defense and did not break through directly. Instead, he passed it to Kobe who was in a better position inside!
Kobe faced Hornacek's defense, Hornacek's offense and mind can be said to have reached a certain level, but the defense!Especially when most of his defensive attention is still on Barkley!
At this time, Kobe gave the Jazz the feeling that he was still an immature child, without any effective offense, and started to be a three-point shooter from the outside!In the eyes of the Jazz, Kobe's singles only need one person to defend, especially in the last game, Kobe's immature offense was the object of Sloan's research and judgment!
In Sloan's view, Kobe is the most unstable factor for the Lakers!But in most cases, it's just a player averaging 14 points per game!For the Jazz's defense, the inefficient 14 points don't matter at all!

However, Thomas was right this time!And Sloan saw the growth of another Jordan!

The object of Kobe's imitation has always been Jordan. It can be said that the road that Jordan has traveled has given Kobe a lot of reference!For Kobe, challenging Jordan was enough to get him excited!For Jordan's defeated Jazz, Kobe wants to prove himself by defeating the opponent!

Now when Thomas hands over the team's offensive responsibility to Kobe, especially when this game is the crucial Game 3, Kobe's eyes are shining!
After Kobe received the ball inside, he made a direct breakthrough without any pause. Hornacek blocked the pass to Barkley and followed Kobe closely. Malone also quickly came to help defend!He forgot that his bounce still couldn't keep up with the one behind him!

Ratliff has no independent offensive ability at all. His role on the court is to defend, but for his bounce, he still has the ability to catch the ball and dunk!So, Kobe's assist came in handy!

This is the result of Kobe practicing the triangle offense in private!Thomas looked at the goal, his eyes lit up!Sloan squinted his eyes, and after a while, he returned to normal again!

The Jazz's offense, Malone took the ball and attacked inside, Ratliff was close to Malone behind him, Malone dribbled the ball and accelerated to break through, facing Barkley's interference, he scored the ball!

The offense of the Lakers, under the defense of the Jazz, kept passing the ball to find the space to attack. There was no chance for 20 seconds. Kobe was the last to catch the ball. He was posing to shoot from outside the three-point line. Hornacek directly Jumped up to block the block, but the action just now was just a fake action. Kobe dribbled the ball to the outside, and at the end of the 24-second timer, he calmly threw the ball in!
Kobe's calm shooting really shows his superior key ball scoring!
Stockton suddenly put a sniper arrow on the outside, and the goal was scored!
This time the Jazz put a little defensive attention on Kobe. Hill seized the opportunity and broke through to the basketball!

It can be said that the Lakers were still behind the Jazz by 5 points at the end of halftime when Kobe's sudden scoring Boli, when the Jazz were a little dazed, eh!This has shocked everyone!

You know, when O'Neal is off the court, the Lakers can still seize such an opportunity!When did the Lakers become so strong?

At the end of halftime, the Jazz led by a score of 53 to 48!
Thomas may think that if this is the case, after O'Neal played in the second half, the Lakers will have a scoring wave!But……

"What is this for, Jazz? Malone actually defended O'Neal, and then, at the moment O'Neal paused, the center of the Jazz hit O'Neal's arm vigorously without hesitation? Instead of interfering with O'Neal? The Jazz is the game You got dragged into the quagmire! In the third quarter, how much did the two teams score?" The Jazz commentator looked at the situation on the field in shock!O'Neill was actually frozen by such a rogue tactic!

"Coach! Don't you want to think of a way? O'Neill's mood is already very unstable. He has had enough of this game! He was troubled by fouls in the first half, but in the second half he directly used Malone as a shield and started fouling." Tactics? Don’t the Jazz have any other tricks?” said the assistant coach on the side.

One is much older than Thomas. He has been a diehard Lakers loyalist all his life. He has experienced the glory of the Lakers and the confusion after Johnson retired. As long as he can increase the winning chips of the Lakers, He can do anything!Thomas usually respects him very much. Such an assistant coach represents everything about the previous Lakers!No one can erase it!
"You also know that's O'Neal! As long as he follows his usual practice, this kind of thing can be alleviated as much as possible, but the Jazz's approach is to give up one person's follow-up defense, and the ones who give up are Barkley and Kevin. Barkley and Kevin worked hard in the first half, and they were already very tired. You must know that they not only put pressure on Malone on defense, but also kept finding positions in the offense, so as to give the Lakers more convenience in offense! "

"Without Barkley and Kevin on the outside, the Jazz's defense will speed up! Of course O'Neal will be even more restricted when attacking!"

"Should we replace Kevin and Barkley? Fisher and Horry are also good! Their shooting efficiency on the outside is higher, and they can provide O'Neal with a high offensive distance!"
