NBA: The strongest physical talent, the inside is king

"Are there any candidates for this month's Player of the Month?"

In the league president's office in New York, Stern asked Vice President Adam Silver.

"There are several!"

"Recently, the league's players have played very well!"

"In terms of team record and data stability, Tim Duncan of the Spurs is the best candidate!"

"However, the data of the other two people are really "explosive"!"

Silver used the word "explosive"!

"Oh?"

Stern was a little interested.

He just asked casually today.

Stern doesn't pay much attention to these awards in the season!

It's usually handled by Silver!

"Kobe, averaging 39.5 points in January! 7 consecutive games of 50+!"

Silver said Kobe's name.

"Kobe, I can think of that!"

"The Lakers have a lot of injuries, and Kobe is also letting go!"

"Such performance is what the fans like!"

Stern nodded, Kobe's name did not surprise him!

If Kobe hadn't been because of that incident a few years ago, he would be the face of the league!

Stern might not be in a hurry to support James!

Over the years, Stern's star-making movement has not been without failures!

The [Jordan successor] plan of the year was completely bankrupt!

Who would have thought that Anfernee Hardaway and Grant Hill were so fragile?

As Iverson was born in the streets and his style was too hip-hop, he was always suppressed by Stern!

Kobe started to support him very early, but next to O'Neal, Kobe could hardly be the main player!

After all, a team's second player can never be promoted to the first player in the league!

After that, Kobe got into trouble!

Carter and McGrady were both praised by Stern!

But these two cousins ​​are a little bit different!

Stern had to start over and choose from the 03 generation!

"What about the other person?"

Stern asked casually.

"Wang Ke, averaging 27.8 points, 15.1 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game!"

"Almost averaging a triple-double!"

There was also a hint of shock in Xiao Hua's tone!

Averaging a triple-double, this is a heaven-defying data that has not appeared in the league for a long time, even if it is only 1 month!

The point is, Wang Ke is a center!

It is a bit too inconsistent for a center to play a triple-double!

"It's the Chinese Wang Ke!"

Stern almost thought he heard it wrong!

Is the triple-double so worthless now?

How can he remember that many players can't get a triple-double in their entire careers!

"How did he, a center, play it?"

Stern couldn't help asking!

…

“Of course it’s by the unstoppable breakthrough!”

“Wang Ke has been making more breakthroughs recently!”

“In the last game, he scored 15 assists by breakthroughs!”

“This also set a new record for Wang Ke’s career single-game assists!”

In the Longguo broadcasting room, Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

“For many Longguo fans, this game that is about to start is a heavyweight game that they are looking forward to!”

“Wang Ke vs. Kobe!”

“We have a lot of Kobe fans, and the number of Wang Ke’s fans has also increased a lot recently!”

“Another point is that the two best players in January are Wang Ke and Kobe!”

“This last matchup in January may determine who will win the [Player of the Month] in January, Wang Ke or Kobe!”

“Their data in January is really exaggerated!”

Su Qun on the side took over the conversation and said with a smile.

This game was held at the Lakers’ home court, the Staples Center.

The two teams had already met once at the beginning of this season, and the [Wang Ke incident] occurred. Caron Butler was KO'd by Wang Ke in a bar!

This led to a series of reactions from all parties!

The final result can be said to be a complete victory for the Bobcats, nothing happened!

Wang Ke also got the opportunity to return to Dragon Country!

The Lakers can be said to have suffered a disastrous defeat!

A large amount of resources were mobilized, but in the end it was useless!

The Lakers' record also plummeted!

Even though Kobe fought for a month, he could only lead the Lakers to hover on the edge of the top eight in the West!

Who made the competition in the West even greater!

So, before the game started, the gunpowder smell had already appeared!

Kobe came to Wang Ke and gave him a one-minute [death stare]!

Wang Ke thought Kobe was [childish]!

But then Wang Ke also found that he seemed to be the first Mesozoic in the league.and the first person of the new generation are all [offended]!

The game is about to start!

Both teams are not in full form and have different degrees of injuries!

Caron Butler of the Lakers has not recovered from his injury, and Odom can't play in this game either!

The Lakers' [new iron triangle] only has Kobe left!

They can only rely on Kobe alone, there is no other way to go!

On the Bobcats side, Primoz Brezec and Rod Strickland will not play!

However, Gerald Wallace can play normally, which makes the Bobcats' situation look a little better!

"Kobe's recent offensive firepower is very fierce!"

"If we want to win this game, we must limit Kobe!"

On the Bobcats' bench, Bernie Bickerstaff was making the final tactical deployment.

But he soon realized that he had just said nonsense!

Because the Bobcats simply don't have a player who can limit Kobe!

"Leave the inside to me!"

"Just do your best to defend the outside!"

Wang Ke said.

At this time, Kobe is in a period of transition and expansion of his arsenal!

The proportion of low-post offense close to the basket has begun to increase!

Cooperating with Odom to empty the inside for Kobe, the completion rate is very high!

However, Odom cannot play in this game, and the Lakers' inside line cannot be empty!

Wang Ke is guarding in the inside, and Kobe's offense close to the basket will be half useless!

Of course, Kobe, who has entered the zone almost every game recently, is also very accurate in mid-range and long-range shots!

The long 2-pointer on the three-point line has almost a historical hit rate!

Not to mention, the old-school outside superstars like to shoot the long 2-pointer that seems to have a very low cost-effectiveness!

The reason lies in the position of the defensive players!

The three-pointer and the inside line are naturally the areas that will be heavily defended!

And the long 2-pointer after passing the defensive player in one step is the area with the least defensive interference!

Because the inside defense can't reach such a high position!

And even if the defense is provided, the inside will be empty!

At this time, whether the ball holder continues to break into the inside or passes the ball to the teammate who cuts inside, it is an easy chance to score!

"It can only be like this!"

"But they have Kobe, we have Wang Ke!"

"Even if Wang Ke and Kobe are swapped, we still have Gerald!"

Bernie Bickerstaff patted Gerald Wallace on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Gerald Wallace suddenly felt that the burden on him was much heavier!

"Make sure to complete the task!"
