On the sidelines, Adrian's breakthrough made Phil Jackson's eyes light up. He had watched several Lakers game videos before. In those games, Adrian obviously liked to use pick-and-rolls to break through, so that Phil-
Jackson marked him as a breakthrough. But now it seems that Adrian's breakthrough is still quite powerful.
However, Phil Jackson did not pay too much attention to Adrian's breakthrough ability. What he wanted to see more was Adrian showing his ability to defend and organize the team.
As soon as he entered the Lakers half, Ray Allen immediately started running. As one of the most accurate three-point shooters in the NBA, Ray Allen's offensive characteristics are very similar to Reggie Miller. Both of them are very good at running. But with
The difference with Reggie Miller is that Ray Allen has better physical fitness and is faster.
Soon, Ray Allen used Wilcox's pick and roll to get out of the shooting space. Luke Ridnour's quick eyes and quick hands passed the ball to Ray Allen's hands.
Adrian pounced on Ray Allen. Through research this morning, Adrian had a general understanding of Luke Ridnour. His three-pointers were not good, and even the open three-pointers were not very good.
Big certainty. On the three-point line, there is no doubt that Ray Allen is a much greater threat than Ridnour.
So when Ray Allen caught the ball, Adrian decisively let go of Ridnour and pounced on Ray Allen. But he was a little slower. Maybe saying Adrian was slow is not a good adjective.
His speed and reaction are already fast enough, but Ray Allen's shot is faster!
The basketball flew past his fingertips by a hair's breadth and flew steadily into the basket.
But this was a two-pointer, and Ray Allen's shooting position was half a step inside the three-point line.
Ray Allen, who made the shot, stepped back with a calm expression.
Ray Allen was calm and calm, but it was impossible for Kobe. He didn't attack on the first ball. As soon as the second ball passed the three-point line, Kobe immediately reached out to Adrian for a request.
Looking at Kwame Brown who was already stuck inside, Adrian still handed the ball to Kobe.
Form is stronger than people.
At the same time, without Kobe saying anything, everyone else automatically pulled away. As the Lakers' largest and only franchise player, no one in the entire Lakers team can resist Kobe's will. Even Phil, as the head coach -
Jackson often had to tolerate Kobe's willfulness and selfishness.
Everyone pulled away, and Kobe held the ball and singled out Ray Allen. He made several fake moves, but Ray Allen remained unmoved. He kept a step away from Kobe, guarding against Kobe's breakthrough and at the same time guarding against Kobe's sudden sudden move.
of shooting.
Seeing that the fake move was ineffective against Ray Allen, Kobe suddenly took a step to the right, and his speed suddenly increased, as if he was going to break through with speed. Ray Allen immediately followed.
"Papa~~" There was a sudden sound of hitting the ball. The moment Ray Allen caught up with him, Kobe suddenly half-turned to the left and changed direction to break through.
Ray Allen quickly stopped.
No, fake action!
Ray Allen, who stopped suddenly, wanted to start again but was too late. Kobe's sudden stop and change of direction was completely a fake move. At the same time as Ray Allen stopped, Kobe suddenly accelerated into the inside, making a very difficult and elegant move.
The basket dodged Wilcox's defense and sent the basketball into the basket.
"Yes!" He waved his fist lightly. When Kobe stepped back, his eyes were fixed on Ray Allen, his chin raised slightly, showing a look of disdain. Although he didn't say a word of provocation, this
The action is full of provocation.
Returning to the frontcourt, he still moved according to the tactical arrangement and was completely unaffected by Kobe's provocation.
Ray Allen, who comes from a middle-class background, has received a good education since he was a child. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage for him. People like him can get along well with everyone. Generally, there are no special circumstances and it is easy to win the friendship of others.
and respect. But perhaps because of his character, his performance on the court was a little too clean.
It's too clean, there is no trash talk, no small moves, and the defense is strict. Even if the moves are fierce, they will not have any killing purpose. Whether on or off the field, inside and outside the field, he is always polite. In terms of personal morality, Lei
Allen is a good person, but as a player and as a leader, he is somewhat unqualified.
In short, without leadership, one is born to be second in command.
Six minutes had passed since the game, and the score was 12:14, with the Lakers trailing by two points. Of course, the game had just begun, and a two-point disadvantage was nothing, but Phil Jackson was frowning hard on the sidelines.
He raised his eyebrows.
Without him, Kobe's old habit has returned.
So far in the game, the Lakers have made a total of ten shots. Except for Adrian's one shot at the beginning of the game, Radmanovic missed a three-pointer. The remaining eight shots were all
Kobe. Although Kobe made 4 of 8 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, his shooting rate of 50% is quite good.
The fans are undoubtedly happy. Kobe is a superstar. What is more exciting than watching a superstar score points wantonly on the basketball court, not to mention that Kobe is obviously in good condition.
But this undoubtedly made Phil Jackson very unhappy.
If all the shooting rights are concentrated in Kobe's hands, then what are the other players doing?
Running back and forth on the field?
It's not just a matter of a day or two for Kobe to take more shots. The collapse of the OK combination started with the struggle for the right to take shots. As Kobe gradually grew up, he thought he needed more rights to take shots. When O'Neal was dismissed by the Lakers management
After giving up, Kobe became even more unscrupulous. In 2005, Kobe averaged 27 shots per game, and even took more than 40 shots in a few games. You know, the average number of shots taken by a team in a whole game is only 70.
repeatedly.
Except for Kobe, other Lakers players on the court only have to defend and rebound in addition to running back and forth.
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Phil Jackson called a timeout. He replaced Kobe and Bynum, and replaced Odom at the shooting guard position. He replaced Turiaf as the power forward.
, let Kwame Brown move to the center position.
Although replacing Kobe would be a bit of a punishment, Phil Jackson didn't want to have any more conflicts with Kobe at this time.
He knows Kobe's character very well, so the reasons he gave are very legitimate. Both of you have just returned from injury, and it is not good for the game to be too long at this time.
Adrian breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it feels really bad to play in the same game with Kobe. This feeling of watching someone play and standing next to him as a spectator makes Adrian quite uncomfortable.
He prefers to have the ball in his own hands and distribute it by himself. Kobe's end is like removing some kind of shackles for Adrian. He no longer has to restrain his hands and can show himself to his heart's content.
In the next attack, Adrian showed what Phil Jackson wanted to see, Adrian's organizational talent!
