Seeing that the Lakers had replaced Ariza, Adrian couldn't help but glance at Phil Jackson who was sitting on the sidelines. Letting Ariza come up to defend him seemed like a fairly simple choice, but Adrian definitely didn't believe it.
Phil Jackson would make such a simple arrangement. Because the key problem facing the Los Angeles Lakers now is not that they can't guard Adrian's offense, but that they can't run their own triangle offense.
With Phil Jackson's knowledge and ability, he shouldn't be unable to see what is the biggest problem facing the Los Angeles Lakers at this moment.
Although this problem is relatively difficult to solve.
Having a player like Kobe is something that every coach will be excited about, but at the same time, Kobe's stubborn temper is also a headache for every head coach. Even Phil - who is known as the best coach in the league -
Jackson is also not exempt from vulgarity.
Kobe's temper, at best, is that he is tenacious and has a strong desire to win, and can withstand tremendous pressure. But at worst, his temper is stubborn and arbitrary, especially when provoked on the court.
Sometimes, Kobe can easily fall into the vicious circle of playing alone, especially when his hand feels cold. The situation is more serious. The more he misses, the more he tries to shoot, and the more he tries to shoot, the more others will guard him.
The more the rate drops, the more he has to invest.
A similar "character" is equally evident in Allen Iverson, a league superstar who was also once called Jordan's successor. A reporter once asked Allen Iverson a question after the game: "
What would you do if you missed twenty shots in a row during the game?"
"I believe the 21st shot can be made." That's what Allen Iverson said at the time.
Kobe Bryant once made similar remarks. For example, when a reporter questioned that he averaged too many shots per game, he said that it was because he believed that he was more confident in taking shots than others.
Such a "personality". You may say he is bad, but such a "personality" is almost the foundation for becoming a super scorer. Without such domineering attitude, without such a strong backbone to face difficulties, it would be difficult to
It is difficult to become a superstar by becoming a super scorer. But at the same time, it cannot be ignored that such a "character" does often have a very bad impact on the team's victory and the team's atmosphere. Especially when these
When a super scorer is provoked and feels bad.[
Controlling the ball in the high post, Adrian turned sideways to prevent Ariza from getting the ball. Seeing Ariza nervously guarding him, Adrian carefully looked for opportunities to break through.
Although compared to Fisher, Ariza is definitely more efficient in defending himself, but Adrian is not ready to give up his personal singles just like this. The main reason is because of Kobe.
If Adrian gives up the continuous individual singles after Ariza comes on the court, then Kobe may be able to calm down and give up the tireless individual singles, allowing the Los Angeles Lakers' offense to return to the normal track. I guess this is also the case.
Phil Jackson's purpose in sending Ariza on the court.
But what Adrian is almost certain of is that as long as Adrian himself does not give up individual singles and resolutely relies on individual singles to score, then Kobe will definitely not be the first to give up individual singles, but will play even more resolutely!
Adrian knew very well what Kobe's temper was like.
For now, it is undoubtedly a more favorable situation for the Orlando Magic to let Kobe, who is not very comfortable, compete with him in individual singles.
In order for Kobe to continue playing in individual singles, Adrian himself must also continue to play in individual singles.
After dribbling the ball sideways a few times, Adrian suddenly straightened his spine and raised his head, as if he was observing the movement of his teammates to find opportunities to pass the ball. Because he raised his head, Adrian's dribbling movements
At the same time, the protection of basketball is not as appropriate as it was at the beginning.
Ariza, who was seriously defending, immediately discovered this good opportunity to steal the ball. Without thinking much, Sun Jie's right hand reached out and intercepted the basketball in Adrian's hand!
Bang bang...
The rhythm of dribbling suddenly changed the moment Ariza stretched out his hand, but the moment Ariza stretched out his hand, he suddenly saw that the basketball that had been appearing in front of him mysteriously disappeared.
Adrian pulled the ball and turned around. He easily passed Ariza's defense as if he were passing through a wooden stake, stepped out and penetrated into the inside.
The weird change of rhythm is the extreme form of fake movements. It is different from ordinary breakthroughs that emphasize fast speed, big movements, and "realistic" fake movements. This kind of rhythmic breakthrough is very particular. The breakthroughr may not be fast, the movements may not be big, or even
It doesn't need to be too "realistic" to achieve the same effect as Allen Iverson walking through flowers and butterflies.
Its essence is to deceive and deceive human beings' inherent perceptions. Among the NBA, the person who is best at this trick is the one who won the championship ring with the Celtics in 2007 and then chose to retire. He is known as an 'alien'.
Called Sam Cassell. In order to master this move, Adrian studied Sam Cassell's breakthrough teaching videos for three full months, and now he has roughly mastered the fundamentals of this move.
.
The fans couldn't understand what Trevor Ariza saw at that moment. They only saw that Trevor Ariza was trying to steal the ball one second, and was stunned the next second.
Adrian broke through it like a wooden stake. He immediately cheered louder.[
Breaking through Trevor Ariza, Adrian immediately took steps, rushed into the paint like a gust of wind, and jumped high. Dwight Howard was like a mountain blocking Adrian and the basket.
Suddenly, the big palm-like hand slapped down the basketball in Adrian's hand.
Shrinking in the air and straightening his waist, Adrian used a standard mid-air lever action to dodge Dwight Howard's block. The basketball originally in his right hand was handed over to his left hand, and he straightened his waist.
The right hand was stretched straight, tilting the body sideways, like a stretched giant bow, and crashed down!
"Adrian!"
"Adrian!"
"Adrian!"
Amidst the cheers of the entire Amway Center, Adrian released his grip on the basket and slowly landed on the ground. Then he raised his hand and waved to the place where the cheers were the loudest. Suddenly, the cheers became more intense.
Cheers rang out.
"It's your turn." When retreating, Adrian still did not forget to challenge Kobe.
For tactician masters, the first game between Orlando and Los Angeles was simply the same thing. Except for two people in both teams, everyone else became a supporting role. The tactics were completely focused on the stars.
Concession. For fans who are keen on star duels, the first quarter of the game is simply the feast of their dreams.
Adrian, Kobe!
The two superstars in the league were engaged in a persistent one-on-one duel from the first second of the game. Adrian hit a goal, and Kobe would definitely hit back with a goal!
In the eighth minute of the first quarter, after the first official timeout, Phil Jackson finally called the Los Angeles Lakers' first timeout and took Kobe off the court.
"Can you finally bear it?" Seeing Phil Jackson choose to take Kobe off the court at this time, Adrian breathed a sigh of relief. After the initial continuous scoring, Adrian also felt a little cold.
After a while, the shooting rate is no longer as high as it was at the beginning. If the one-on-one duel with Kobe continues, although Kobe's offensive success rate is still not high, with the advantage of offensive success rate, the Orlando Magic is still in the game.
The score firmly suppressed the Los Angeles Lakers, with 26:18, still leading the Los Angeles Lakers by 8 points, occupying the advantage on the court. The scoring ratio between Adrian and Kobe also suppressed the opponent at 20:14.
But if he continues to play like this, Adrian is very worried that his gradually decreasing shooting percentage will affect the overall situation of the team. Now that Phil Jackson has replaced Kobe, it can just let him breathe a sigh of relief. (Unfinished)
