shooting guard era

Chapter 178 208. The Lonely Kobe

Yes, Lakers coach Tomjanovich can only ask so much from Lakers players other than Kobe, Odom, and Butler.

For a group of guys who couldn't even play in the NBA, they are actually the team's starters and main substitutes. Fortunately, this famous coach is willing to take over the current mess.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing Kobe who could no longer control his desire to shoot, Tomjanovich became anxious and started coughing again.

Not only that, but he pressed his lower abdomen with his hand, and it started to hurt again.

"Tom, you're all right, aren't you?"

At some point, Kupchak came to the back of the bench.In the last few games, no matter home or away, Kupchak will not appear on the scene.

Looking at this old friend, former opponent and current colleague, Tomjanovich felt a little guilty in his heart, he shook his head and said: "I'm fine, hey, I wanted to help you survive the most difficult days of this team , I didn’t expect to make the team the worst in team history.”

Speaking of this, Tomjanovich can only sigh. Originally, he thought that with Kobe and Butler and Odom from the East, he would be able to make the playoffs no matter what.

The early stage of the season was indeed as he expected. Although Butler was still immature and Odom often lost his mind, under the leadership of Kobe, the team's record was not bad, and it once ranked among the top four in the Western Conference.

But since the end of December, waves of injuries have struck. Kobe, Butler, and Odom have been injured alternately. Without Kobe and Butler, Odom and Butler can't carry the team at all.
After Butler came back, he and Odom barely played a record of 4 wins and 5 losses to welcome Kobe's comeback.

But just after Kobe came back, Odom was injured again, and lost the team's best inside and offensive organization points. Kobe could only help the team advance by scoring high points, but there were not enough helpers. Although Butler was very talented, he just He is a third-year player. As the team's youngest, his average of 15+5 per game is not bad, but Butler is the only one who is still powerless.

"It's me who should apologize. If I hadn't forced you to help, you wouldn't have gotten worse, and the team record is so poor, I've ruined your reputation." Kupchak could only smile wryly, "Now we Only Kobe, there is no other way, we have a long-term plan, but your body..."

As Kupchak said, now the Lakers only have Kobe.

For the Lakers to win, Kobe had to score high points, organize the offense along the way, defend the opponent's best perimeter, and grab rebounds.

This year, Kobe's statistics set new career highs, with an average of 6.3 rebounds and 6 assists per game. He is both a father and a mother, and because he was scored high by Ye Han at the beginning of the season, he averaged 31.3 points per game.

And it also stimulated the little man in the East, averaging 32 points per game to dominate the scoring list.

Tomjanovich's tactics before the game were very good. Kobe scored first and then organized the offense.

But it is not easy to implement the plan smoothly. Those role players must feel full of hands and be able to make open shots. However, like most of the time, entering the latter part of the season, their feel and luck have all been used up. It is already a state of waiting for the end of the season.

After Kobe passed the ball twice, he never passed again, and he shot wildly.

In addition, Ye Han hit Kobe on the head a few times, making Kobe forget everything, just to blow Ye Han up.

This happened to fall into the trap of the Bobcats. Although Ye Han was gradually being suppressed by Kobe, Kobe's offensive and defensive performances were too good, dragging the weight that could compete with James, Artest, and Pierce, but he was still able to fight. Guarantee the top defense in the league, and be omnipotent on the offensive end, blasting Ye Han to death.

However, Ye Han's teammates were much stronger than Kobe's. While Kobe beat Ye Han, the Bobcats were blooming more and gradually opened up the score.

There is only one thing Ye Han does now, and that is to force Kobe from time to time. If he doesn't get in, it's fine. If he gets in, Kobe can attack even more crazily.

That's right, what Ye Han has been studying for the past two days is Kobe's defense, and tried every means to break Kobe's defensive scoring, driving this paranoid crazy.

Kobe couldn't see Ye Han's missed shot, because Kobe was very confident in his defense, he thought it was normal, but when Ye Han made a shot, Kobe would frantically think of hitting back.

Ever since, Kobe scored 14 points in the first quarter, Ye Han scored 7 points, but the rest of the Lakers only scored 6 points, while the Bobcats scored 23 points. 10 points.In the second quarter, Kobe scored 19 points and Ye Han scored 8 points. At the end of the half, the Bobcats were 59 to 45, widening the point difference to 14 points. In this quarter, the Lakers only scored 6 points except for Kobe.Kobe Bryant scored 20 points in the third quarter, but the Bobcats widened the difference to 19 points.

到了第四节第4分钟的时候，山猫已经100比72，一波16比7将分差扩大到28分。

In the first 4 minutes, only Kobe scored for the Lakers. Butler was tightly restricted by Hill, and no one else could score a goal except him.

Tomjanovich chose to give up and replaced the main force.

41投22中，60分4板4助攻，科比再一次在山猫头上狂砍60分，湖人全场一共只拿到84分。

Ye Han, who finally scored 32 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, led the Bobcats to an 11-game winning streak!

34 wins and 24 losses, the Bobcats continue to maintain a good momentum.

Ye Han really wanted to defeat Kobe and his opponent with his own strength.But after he really played against Kobe, Ye Han, who had become stronger, truly understood how terrifying Kobe was. The personal ability to master all the skills of a shooting guard and maximize his potential is not comparable to what he is now.

In the end, Ye Han chose Bickerstaff's arrangement before the game, and brought Kobe into the lonely field according to the plan, scored points alone, and finally defeated the Lakers.

He made 31 out of 13 shots. Ye Han's efficiency was not very good today, and his sense of urgency to improve his strength became stronger.

The victory in this game felt very complicated to Ye Han. The team won 11 consecutive victories and continued to set a record in team history, but he did not really face Kobe one-on-one. It should mean that he did not have the strength to compete with Kobe. heads-up.

The Lakers suffered a 5-game losing streak at Kobe Bryant's side, and the Bobcats proved the current strength gap between the two teams with practical actions.

"When we meet next time, you will definitely see a stronger me. I hope your team will become stronger by then. I will beat you when you are the strongest." Walking into the locker room, he secretly made up his mind.
