When Kobe Bryant heard this, he was stunned at first, and then replied proudly: "The essence of basketball is to put the basketball into the basket, not to get gimmicks through fancy passes and exaggerated dunks. Why should I follow you?
Competing in these aspects? My goal is to win, understand?"
"I understand, because my goal is also to win." Yang Mo chuckled. He felt that Kobe Bryant was a little too abnormal tonight, and he was not the same style that used strength to overcome strength before.
Yang Mo didn't know that the reason why Kobe Bryant was so low-key tonight was entirely because he couldn't do anything about Yang Mo. He couldn't do anything about Yang Mo in all aspects. He didn't expect that Yang Mo had surpassed him technically. In this
For a moment, he really felt old, but he would not express this feeling. If he did, he would not be Kobe Bryant.
The game was still going on, and when Kobe returned to half-court, everyone discovered that Kobe Bryant had changed. He did not continue to ask, but started running without the ball, and even selflessly set up pick-and-rolls for his teammates.
.
When this scene came out, not only the Lakers fans, but also the Lakers players were stunned. Phil Jackson was even dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Kobe would turn into the Kobe he wanted in his heart at this time.
The person he became: A selfless leader.
A guy with strong offensive power suddenly became selfless, and the direct result was that his team began to become indestructible. The Lakers instantly entered a strong system, and other players began to get more open opportunities. At the same time,
The Knicks also had to focus a lot of their energy on Kobe. Even if he didn't attack, his threat was always there.
Soon, the Lakers got a goal. Ron Artest hit the ball steadily, which was an open goal.
Yang Mo quickly grasped the seriousness of the matter. Kobe Bryant had obviously changed from an attacker to a tactical destroyer, and the already strong Lakers team immediately became even stronger.
In this regard, Yang Mo could only grit his teeth and deal with it. After returning to half-time, he actively directed his players to run, and then passed the opportunity accurately and passed beautiful assists to score a goal.
Offense is not a problem for the Knicks today. The problem is defense. When the Lakers evolved again, the Knicks' defense was in trouble. They couldn't restrict the Lakers very well.
If it were the Knicks last season, Yang Mo wouldn't think too much about it. He would just use offense against offense and win by scoring more points. But now, Yang Mo can no longer think about the problem in such a simple way. After all,
Their pursuit this year is the championship. A team without defense is destined to have a difficult time in the playoffs.
Yang Mo tried to increase the intensity of defense again, but the effect was not particularly obvious. Kobe's running was like an electric eel, directly activating the entire Lakers team. This is what Phil Jackson has always hoped for Kobe to do.
Things, and now Kobe finally understands.
Yang Mo did not expect that his overall lead would cause Kobe Bryant to give up his personal heroism and integrate into the atmosphere of collective fighting. This is equivalent to changing his opponents from tigers to wolves. A tiger is scary, but a group of hungry people
The wild wolves are even more terrifying.
The two teams played back and forth for nearly five or six minutes. Each other's shooting percentage was quite high, and almost no misses were made. However, the Knicks still failed to widen the point difference. They always maintained a five-point advantage.
This is already a good result for other teams. After all, this is the home court of the Lakers and this is Staples. However, this is not something to be proud of for Yang Mo. He wants to turn the Lakers into
The team was immediately defeated on both ends of the floor, leading to an easy victory, just like they had done before.
drop!
Therefore, Yang Mo requested a timeout at the end of the first quarter. He returned to the bench and went directly to the coaching staff. He wanted to listen to the comprehensive opinions of the coaches.
"Our current defense is completely unable to take into account Kobe and other Lakers players. Kobe's performance completely disrupted our pre-game plan, and we must make changes." Stann said this to Yang Mo as soon as he came up.
Almost all were questions, with no answers at all.
But what Yang Mo needs now is advice. He turned to coach K. Coach K hesitated for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "My opinion is the Jordan Rules. Let Kobe go and focus on dealing with other Lakers players."
.”
Yang Mo heard this and nodded, but he didn't think it was a good suggestion. He looked at Coach Sloan again. Coach Sloan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You may want to completely suppress the entire
Lakers. It's very difficult. First you have to find someone to suppress Kobe and stop him from running around."
"I will defend him personally." Yang Mo said simply.
"Other players cannot relax. Although the Knicks have many people now, there are very few who can play both offense and defense. If you cannot completely suppress the Lakers on the defensive end, you will most likely lose your rhythm on the offensive end.
Then there will be... big trouble." Coach Sloan said with some worry.
At this time, Yang Mo made a decision: "Let's do it like this, let's deal with the last three minutes first. If the Lakers continue to play like this, we have no chance of winning."
With that said, Yang Mo walked to the side and directly laid out the tactics: "Tyson Chandler, Turiaf, Jeffries, and Tony Allen, follow me, we must comprehensively contain their attacks.
In offense, everyone must stick to the opponent like brown sugar and not give them an easy chance to score. As for Kobe, I will pester him. Our next defense is just one word, pester, cling to them and let them
They couldn't shoot..."
drop!
Soon, the whistle sounded and the game started again.
When the players from both sides returned to the game, the Lakers still did not change their players, but the Knicks were going to make a large-scale makeover. At first glance, it was clear that they were really serious about the defensive end.
Phil Jackson was not shocked by this. Instead, he laughed and thought that the Knicks had fallen into his trap. He had already expected that Yang Mo would strengthen his defense, so he carefully designed a game to completely bury the Knicks.
.
Yang Mo didn't know about this, he only knew that the next three minutes were crucial.
