Chapter 290 Still Regrets (1)

A year later, Kobe once again stood on the floor of Staples Center, facing the defender and hitting a three-pointer.

Those cheers and shouts, loss and hesitation, emerged like a tide, causing Kobe's face to continuously flash with various expressions, and he has yet to take the next step.

Seeing this situation, Tianyang knew that his plan had succeeded.

He agreed to change the venue of the training camp to the Staples Center, the purpose is to let Kobe find the feeling of the year.It is not necessary for Kobe to come back, the main purpose is to create an interesting experience for Kobe.

About 10 seconds later, Kobe finally moved. He turned to face the rookie player and said, "I think everyone will use the basic footwork just now. The tentative step is followed by a lateral move. Now let Tatum do the same action. You can compare the differences between the two of us."

After the words fell, Kobe stood on the outer circle of the free throw line and sent the ball to the top of the arc.

Tatum received the ball, also with his left foot as the axis, sinking his shoulders and lowering his waist. After stepping out his right foot to test, he immediately collected the ball and kicked the ground, took a big step to the left, and finally jumped up and shot.

"Bang!", the shot hit the iron, and there was a sigh at the scene.

Kobe looked at the rookie player again, "Tell me, what is the difference in our movements?"

Such a question sounds very simple, but in the global live broadcast environment, it is easy to appear ignorant and lose fans when answering wrongly. The rookies and players on the scene are very cautious, and no one has raised their hands to answer.

On the contrary, in the live broadcast room, a group of viewers began to swipe the barrage.

"It's no different. Kobe is testing the confidence of the rookie. It's a review of yesterday's training content."

"The extent of the test and the lateral movement are different, but the length of each person's legs is different, so it is not very certain."

"This is the way Ferroki taught Leonardo Da Vinci to paint eggs. Kobe wants newcomers to learn to pay attention to details."

There were eloquent discussions and different opinions, but fortunately, someone at the scene finally spoke.

"Your relative speed and strength are stronger because your footsteps are simpler, so it saves trouble and effort." Fultz's tone is full of confidence.

"The angle between your toes and the ring is smaller, and it will be easier to break through." Ball looked at some things after shooting.

Kobe nodded flatly, "You both talked about part of it, but didn't mention the main point. Kuzma, tell me, what is the biggest difference between me and Tatum."

Kuzma hesitated for a while, then shook his head, "If I knew, I would have said it just now."

Kobe curled his lips when he heard the words, and turned to Tatum with a little regret, "What do you think is different?"

Tatum did not hesitate, but said directly: "I have the same point of view as Ball. Your footwork is more scalable, and you can perform more actions in the future."

Kobe didn't comment, but looked at Tianyang again, "Tell them about the main difference."

Tianyang didn't speak, he went straight to the top of the arc, took the basketball, and signaled Tatum to step forward to defend.

The same tentative movement to the right, Tianyang did it three times in a row, but the first time was followed by a lateral move, the second time was followed by a breakthrough to the inside line, and the third time was followed by a retreat.

At the end of the action demonstration, Fultz, Ball, Kuzma and other players suddenly realized that Tatum failed to defend three times in a row, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

Kobe nodded in satisfaction, "Did you see that? Tianyang, like me, has multiple plans for every foot movement, and the decision to use which plan is mainly based on the state of the defender. In the future games, you must definitely Combining the side-sliding, small steps, tentative steps, emergency stops, turning and other footwork that you usually practice, flexibly combine with other movements, don't turn around just to turn around, stop suddenly just to stop, understand?"

"Understood!" A group of rookies shouted in unison, their voices were loud and bright, and it sounded like they had completely mastered it.

Kobe blinked at the sky, and then continued: "Since you all understand, now I and I are at two 45 degrees, you line up to attack, each of you has three chances, and each time is limited to 24 seconds. It counts as a win, but the lateral range of the dribble cannot exceed the top of the arc, did I make it clear?"

"Clear!" A group of rookies shouted in unison again, standing up to find someone.

Soon, players such as Fultz, Kuzma, Tatum, Ball, Mitchell stood on the side of Tianyang, Josh Jackson, Isaac, Dennis Smith, Malik Monk, Luke –Kennard sided with Kobe.

With such a team, it is obvious that Tianyang has stronger players participating in the offense, which makes the fans watching the live broadcast very upset.

"Made, these rookies who may enter the high draft actually look down on Corvo so much!"

"Not necessarily. Maybe the players in front of SkyOcean want a stronger challenge. After all, the global broadcast is live. If you beat Kobe, everyone will only comment on bullying a retired veteran."

"You didn't watch the tape from the first day of training camp, did you? Kobe blocked Tatum and almost couldn't get the ball out."

On the court, after all the rookie players stood still, Kobe said: "As I emphasized just now, it is necessary to decide which plan to use according to the state of the defensive players, but the defensive players will also adjust according to your state. Plan. Now, I will switch with Tianyang to disrupt the plan you have made."

A group of rookie players were stunned immediately. They were making a choice between Tianyang and Kobe. Except for a few who had no plans, most of them even had careful thoughts in their hearts.

Now, Kobe asked for a switch, and their plans were completely disrupted.

In the live broadcast room, seeing Kobe changing teams to defend, the fans shot up the barrage.

"Awesome, Corvo chose the most difficult path, although there are only two..."

"He has to prove himself that he can defend the offense of the average player in the NBA!"

"He has played in this stadium for 20 years, and he is not afraid!"

Although the number of required hits is one less than yesterday, the overall probability is smaller. After all, 11 shots are much easier than 3 shots.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Tianyang and Kobe began to take over the challenge from the rookies.

On the Tianyang side, except for Josh Hart who scored a point with a swaying pull-up, the rest of the players were all dazed by the defense, and their usual skilled skills were blocked, making it difficult to use them.

On Kobe's side, Fultz and Tatum caused a lot of impact, resulting in two consecutive losses.Just when everyone thought Kobe couldn't defend against it, Kobe limited the number of successes to two.

Half an hour later, all 44 players from the two teams had completed their attacks. Only Fultz, Tatum, and Kuzma had two or more successes, and all of them were on Kobe's side.

……

The high-rise stands on the left side of the stadium.

Jim Buss frowned, "Tianyang let us pay attention to Kuzma and Josh Hart. Hart is fine, but Kuzma's outstanding performance has already attracted the attention of all scouts. Or get it in the second round, the difficulty is not so high."

Wharton lowered his head and thought for a while, "When Tianyang notified us, he was very confident. Could it be that Kuzma is really as bad as the scouting report, with very poor defensive ability?"

As soon as the words fell, Kobe picked up the microphone again and shouted: "Your offensive is over, now it's our turn to attack, you each stand in line at two 45 degrees to the left, Tianyang and I will fight 1 with 22!"

Such a domineering declaration caused the scene to fall into a carnival. The fan barrage in the live broadcast room wrote:
"Watching the live broadcast today is super valuable. Not only can you see Kobe's strong defense, but you can also see Kobe's crazy offense!"
