Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 255
The home fans couldn't contain the excitement in their hearts. They screamed wildly and cheered for the Lakers players. Among them, more cheers came for O'Neal and Ling Yu.

In the first three quarters, O'Neal scored 24 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks. This is an absolutely crazy data, which clearly shows his deterrence at the bottom of the basket. This is also the case. When O'Neal is on the court, the Lakers The inside team of the Jazz has implemented a crushing offense, and the Jazz's inside line is only Malone. Although the starting center has certain abilities, the standard blue-collar player works hard, but in this game, he was in front of O'Neal. Being abused into a melon, the spirit of fighting to the end is still there, that is, he is facing O'Neal, the strongest center in the league. His brute force is not a threat at all, and he is easily beaten by O'Neal. He is helpless O'Neal's scoring can only be limited by fouls.

However, in normal times, this may be a shark-slashing tactic, but anyone who watched the game knows that he was helpless when he fouled, and he had no temper at all when he was beaten.

Not surprisingly, the Jazz's starting center had five fouls in less than three quarters. In order to protect them, the Jazz coach had to replace him with a veteran, former All-Star center.

However, for such a center, experience is what he is most proud of, but he also has the most deadly point, which is physical fitness. After playing, he will face the current No. He tried his best to defend, but he couldn't completely restrain O'Neal, so he had no choice but to use foul tactics.

I have to say that O'Neal played really well in this game. His free throw percentage came to 70.00%, which blinded everyone's eyes.

O'Neal's crush on the inside, the Jazz coach had to adopt double-team defense tactics against him. However, once the tactics changed, the Lakers' offensive tactics also changed. The original inside offense was replaced by outside. The power is still in Ling Yu's hands, but this time he didn't pass the ball to O'Neal, but drove the ball to the bottom of the basket by himself, and then passed the ball out after attracting the defense, or he was not in a hurry to hit the opponent's defense and forced a layup .

With O'Neal on the inside and a strong scorer like Ling Yu on the outside, the Jazz coach is really helpless. If he defends the inside, the outside will definitely leak. However, if he can't defend, he can't. Everyone knows O'Neal's ability. If you can win him, you will win.Of course, this is only about the center position. If you switch to a guard or a small forward, it’s hard to say, because each has its own characteristics, the smartness of the guard, and the strong blocking of the center. It's hard to compare, and Ling Yu usually doesn't compare players in different positions, just like he never compares James with Kobe, because the positions are different and the styles of play are also different.

Therefore, when Ling Yu usually compares, he always compares Kobe with Wadeby, Martin, Ray Allen, and Qiao Gangzhu. He has never compared Kobe in other positions.

Kobe's ability is obvious to all, and he is one of the top five players in history. Therefore, without Dobby, his honor and charm are there, and everyone can see it.

And this is what Ling Yu has been pursuing. Kobe's results are the direction of his efforts and his goal. Therefore, for this goal, he plays harder.

When he was on the court, Ling Yu was no longer the rookie he was last season. He was a little afraid when he played last season, but this season, in the first game, Ling Yu had nothing to compare with other than victory. .

Ling Yu's containment gave McGrady a good chance, but it seemed that McGrady hadn't come out of the low-intensity arena of the high school league. When he was on the court, he didn't easily come into physical contact with the Jazz players, and kept avoiding them. When shooting, he also avoids shooting, as if he is unwilling to fight physically.

However, his basket really has a crosshair. Basically, all the balls passed to him by Ling Yu have been scored, including the passes from Eddie and others. McGrady has grasped them very well. In the third quarter, he scored 14 points and 3 assists in just [-] minutes.

However, what is lacking is that he has no rebounds, which also makes his statistics more intriguing.

"They may adopt zone defense tactics." Del speculated that they are now leading by 24 points, but this does not mean that they will win the final victory. Therefore, judging from Del's serious face, he did not dare to relax. They can't afford to relax. They are not facing an ordinary team in this game, but the regular season champions of last season, and they are also the opponents who eliminated their own team in the second round. The record is good, and they are very resilient. No team dares to say that they are sure enough to win against them. Even if they lead by more than 20 points, there is only one quarter left, and no one dares to say.

"If the defense is zoned, then we have to break the zone defense." Del frowned and swept towards the players.

"Bryant, wait for you to attack with the ball, and the others run and wait for the response." Del said: "Don't hesitate after receiving the ball, just shoot directly. Also, pay attention to returning to defense after you miss the shot, so as not to be caught They play fast break."

The best tactic to break the zone defense is the pick-and-roll, but Del didn't use this tactic and let O'Neal do the pick-and-roll cover for Ling Yu, but adopted another more risky way, which is to let Ling Yu hit the basket with the ball , to attract the opponent's defense.

Ling Yu couldn't figure it out. He knew that the opponent was going to join the defense, and it was the last quarter. Why did he still have to break through? Wouldn't it be better to fight directly?
No one could guess what Del was thinking, and Ling Yu didn't want to say anything, anyway, he understood that Del had never adopted his tactics, so this time, Ling Yu didn't want to say anything.

"Bryant, do you have any thoughts?" Del saw the strange look on Ling Yu's face, obviously dissatisfied with his tactics, and immediately frowned, staring at Ling Yu and asking.

"I have no idea." Ling Yu said very calmly, he is not afraid of Del, so when he speaks, he doesn't need to be respectful, or have that kind of humble tone, he speaks out naturally,

Del didn't care about this with Ling Yu, anyway, he knew that Ling Yu was like this, and he hid where he had an opinion on him, which was not bad.

However, Del admired Ling Yu even more in his heart, a player he saw becoming more and more perfect.

Ling Yu is impeccable in terms of adaptability on the court, skills, and tactical arrangements. Judging from the current situation alone, Ling Yu is already a superstar. Even if he is not now, he will be in the future , and it may be Alliance No.1.

Jordan's Biddle has also seen a lot, and he also admires Zen Master Jackson. He is the only person in the league who arranges the triangle offense so superbly.

These are two people. However, in Ling Yu's body, Del clearly felt that he already possessed the abilities of Jackson and Jordan. No matter in terms of ball skills or tactical arrangements, Del felt that Ling Yu had reached their height. , This really surprised him, and now looking at Ling Yu again, Del found that he couldn't understand him who was once immature.

"Tell me when you have an idea." Del didn't say much, and continued to arrange his own tactics, because there was not much time left for him to arrange tactics.

The Jazz are also nervously arranging tactics. Compared with the Lakers, they have to face greater pressure. Last season, reaching the finals gave them a glimpse of the dawn and more confidence in winning the championship ring. The general manager of the Jazz has reinforced the thickness of his bench for the team to go further, which also makes Utah fans even more looking forward to the arrival of the new season.

However, this came and went, and the result seemed to be not what I had imagined before. No one thought that the Jazz would fall behind by a large score in Los Angeles. Last season, the Jazz blocked the Lakers behind the Western Conference Finals. However, this summer In the past, he was beaten like a dog by the Lakers, and looking at it again, the Lakers did not make any other trades except for McGrady, so there is no big change in the lineup.
However, it was this team with no change in the lineup that made the Jazz lose direction. Even if the Jazz coach had tactical deployments and new defensive tactics, he still couldn't limit the Lakers' scoring. Facing the oppressive defense of the Lakers, they also made mistakes again and again. The suspense was lost early in the game. The Lakers succeeded in revenge, winning the Jazz at home and getting off to a good start.

Ling Yu glanced at the scorer and frowned instantly.

The Jazz led by 24 points in the first three quarters, but the final result was only 11 points ahead. That is to say, the Lakers lost the Jazz by 13 points throughout the fourth quarter.

Some people may say that this has already entered garbage time, and at that time, both sides replaced players on the bench, so naturally they did not play so hard, so it is normal for the point difference to be pulled back.

However, Ling Yu couldn't figure it out, he was also a substitute player, why did the Jazz beat him by 13 points?
After thinking about it, Ling Yu came to a conclusion: without stress, there is no motivation, and leisure will always bring laziness.

Thinking about it, Ling Yu frowned again, and then walked to the locker room without looking back.

At this time, the locker room of the Lakers team was full of reporters, and the passageway was full of people. Seeing the Lakers players come back, they rushed up. Needless to say, they naturally wanted to interview, and Ling Yu and O'Neal also became The person they surrounded the most was McGrady.

"Excuse me." Ling Yu was still thinking about that matter, so he was not in the mood for an interview, so he squeezed through the crowd and entered the locker room.
