My Name is Kobe Bryant

O'Neal made 3 of 8 free throws in the first quarter! Correspondingly, the Lakers' offensive rhythm was completely disrupted. They began to worry that after they ran out of opportunities and prepared to take action, the Spurs would commit another foul and let them All the hard work and tactics and opportunities were wasted!”

Smart tactics! Popovich turned G3 into a shark-cutting tactical teaching for centers who are not good at free throws! Popovich has been hailed as the best coach of the new generation. He led the team to score in the first two years of his career. Playoffs and reaching the Western Conference Finals in the second year! Such an achievement is too rare for a new coach!

O'Neal is helpless! Kobe is very angry! The Lakers' OK Twin Stars' emotions obviously fluctuated under Popovich's tactics!

At the end of the single quarter, the Lakers 19:24 the Spurs! The Spurs took a 5-point lead at home! This is the first time in the playoffs this season that the Lakers have scored less than 20 points in the first quarter!

The shark-cutting tactic is a complete success! This will become the first choice tactic for other teams to deal with the Lakers in the future! OK's advantage will be infinitely reduced!

Although Popovich wasn't the first to invent the shark tactic, he obviously pushed this tactic to a new level.

The Spurs arena was buzzing with people!

Laughing!

ridicule!

The insults are endless!

Kobe, on the other hand, looked grim.

He took note of Popovich's account!

Thinking that next season, a lot of teams will torture themselves by cutting sharks, Kobe feels a little unhappy.

no!

This game must be won!

Once they lose, I'm afraid the next thing they'll face against the Lakers is a never-ending barrage of sharks.

Once it is proven that the shark-cutting tactic is effective and can defeat the Lakers, then this tactic will become popular throughout the NBA!

The most fundamental solution to this tactic is, of course, to increase O'Neal's free throw shooting percentage.

But this is obviously impossible to accomplish in a short period of time, and with O'Neal's lazy temperament, he has not solved his biggest problem for a whole career!

Kobe has no hope in this life! It's better to expect O'Neal to practice free throws well than to expect Stern to quickly change the rules and prohibit slashing sharks in the last two minutes!

In the first quarter, the Spurs fouled O'Neal 4 times and others 2 fouls, totaling 6 fouls in a single quarter.

Not too much, not too little.

Next, in order to avoid too many fouls for the starter, Popovich will probably let the bench players face off against Shaq.

This is our chance to overtake.

Harris' analysis calmed down some anxious Lakers players.

The biggest disadvantage of cutting off sharks is the foul crisis.

Six fouls will lead to the end of the game. For the interior players in this era who are already fiercely competitive, if they don't deliberately foul, they will often end the game with six fouls.

In order to avoid such a situation, Popovich could only use a substitute to commit a foul!

This is the opportunity!

Shaq! If Wang Zhizhi comes on, you will go all out to hit 2+0! Kobe said suddenly.

Okay! Wait? Why is it 2+0? O'Neal's eyes were full of confusion.

Kobe gave him a Don't make trouble look.

Rookie Wang Zhizhi cannot withstand O'Neal's power!

It is very possible to make a strong play and complete the offense under a foul.

The Spurs have no other substitute rotation, because with General and Duncan, Popovich has almost no accumulation of inside players.

If it were Battelle or Yao Ming, it would really be possible to limit the Sharks with fouls. Rookie Wang Zhizhi's strength is still far behind.

Chase points in the second quarter. When they start the game in the third quarter, Kobe and Eddie, you guys just rush inside! No matter the cost or success rate, I want the general to get at least 4 fouls before the fourth quarter!

clear!

Harris' arrangement made the Lakers players instantly aware of what was going on.

Silver Fox Harris squinted his eyes and looked at Popovich.

Your shark-killing tactics aren't that good either.

If I can beat your teacher, I can beat you too!

The third quarter! The situation changes suddenly!

The game entered the second half.

In the first half, O'Neal faced Wang Zhizhi and scored 2+0, forcing Popovich to replace the general early.

The general had already committed two fouls, and he was in a bit of a dilemma at this time.

Intensity?

Then it may be a foul!

Not strong enough?

If you don't give O'Neal a fight, just wait to be dunked!

So in the second quarter, O'Neal instantly turned the situation around after coming on the court!

Fortunately, in the second quarter, the rotation time of the main players of both sides was not long, and the Lakers just caught up with the score.

At this time, Popovich already felt that something was wrong!

At halftime, Lakers 45:45 Spurs!

The score is tied!

Section 3!

Kobe starts to work hard!

Come in! Kobe rush in! Get rid of Richmond!

Kobe threw himself in the air! He leaned on the general and completed a very difficult basket!

The ball goes in! The whistle blows! At the beginning of the third quarter, the General got his third foul!

This is sad news!

This is just a typical example!

In the rest of the third quarter, Kobe kept attacking the paint like crazy!

Although the shooting rate is not high, what he wants is not the shooting rate, what he wants is to let the general and Duncan bear the risk of fouling!

The admiral's defense is getting more and more timid!

At this time, Popovich asked Elliott and the young general to continuously attack O'Neal.

Only then did the Lakers' counterattack be stifled.

At the end of the third quarter, Lakers 71:67 ​​Spurs!

If it weren't for the shark-cutting tactic, O'Neal's free throws today would be less than 30%, and I'm afraid the score would be even wider!

Kobe is too strong! Richmond has no way to deal with his breakthrough!

There is only one team that can defend Kobe's breakthrough, and that is North Carolina's Jordan and Hill!

The fourth quarter!

The Admiral finally received all 6 fouls with 6 minutes left in the game and ended the game with honor.

At this time, Duncan overcame his fear of the Sharks and assumed the center position.

Forcefully resisted O'Neal's two attacks.

But for the third time, he was finally knocked over by O'Neal, and O'Neal violently dunked!

It's over! Popovich put his head in his hands, looking desperately at his proud disciple being ravaged back and forth by the Lakers.

The situation is over!

Popovich never expected that he would kill the shark if he succeeded, and he would kill the shark if he failed.

The team ultimately lost when the general fouled and left the field.

If there are more meat-shield centers inside who can cut down sharks, is there still a glimmer of hope?

Popovich is already thinking about next season's roster.

Not just O'Neal!

Kobe also suddenly reached the basket, supported Duncan with his left hand, and smashed the ball in with his right hand!

Button!

The first background board in history has finally contributed to this alliance again.

5 fouls!

Duncan finally got 5 fouls.

The game is over.

Kobe gave Popovich a bloodthirsty look.

You're the only one who likes to chop sharks, right?
