Chapter 454 [Flaws Exposed, Career Record]
In the second half, Yao Ming, who had rested for a whole quarter, returned to the court, and after recovering his strength, he was more able to ensure efficiency, and after blocking and dismantling the opponent, in order to prevent him from cutting in the air, he did not dare to wrap Kobe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The inside line is Kayao's empty cut route, allowing the guard to chase Kobe, which can be a pain for Hamilton.
The two had known each other since high school, and Jim Smith, Hamilton's high school coach at the time, said to him, "You may think you're good, but I'm telling you, there's a kid who's going to be a big kid and everybody says he's the best defender in the country." ”
Hamilton said, "Say whatever you want, but no one is better than me".
Soon he discovered that Kobe Bryant was indeed better than himself. Later, Hamilton went to college, and Kobe Bryant went straight to the NBA.
The two know each other too well, and single-handedly Hamilton is no match for Kobe Bryant.
Yao Ming cut into the basket, Kobe Bryant was very resolute in his shot, not only Yao Ming could grab the rebounds in the front court, but Odom was not a vegetarian in rushing to grab the rebounds in the front court.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming averaged 2.5 frontcourt rebounds per game in his career, only less than two in the season of retirement, with a peak of 3.1. Since Odom came to the Lakers to play power forward, he has also rebounded more than two frontcourt rebounds in multiple seasons, peaking at 2.6.
Now Yang Rui's tactics are to grab rebounds in the front court, instead of quickly returning to defense and ensuring the defensive system, the Lakers' rebounding advantage is even more obvious.
As long as Camby is down, the Nuggets' protection of rebounding is not good enough, and Hilario has never exceeded 8 rebounds in his career, peaking at 7.8, which is worse than Rashid.
In Yang Rui's previous life, in order to make up for the shortcomings of protecting rebounding, the Nuggets traded Kenyon Martin from the Nets, and Nahura in the mid-term. Now that both are gone, the Nuggets also lost "Birdman" Chris Anderson, who switched to the Hornets.
Kobe Bryant shot 4-of-10 in the quarter, 2-of-5 three-pointers, made 6 free throws, scored 16 points, and scored 41 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in the third quarter, leading the team to a 103-90 lead.
Yao Ming played another 7 minutes in this quarter, scoring 6 points on 3-of-4 shooting, totaling 14 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. He didn't score a lot, but he only played 15 minutes and was super efficient.
Barkley sighed: "Yao Ming, Rashid, and Odom helped Kobe even better than O'Neal. O'Neal will play alone in the low post, and the opponent's interior will also gather under the basket, but Kobe Bryant has had many opportunities to go head-to-head with the inside in the wrong position today. ”
Smith said: "If Kobe Bryant continues to play in the final quarter, he is likely to score 50+, it depends on Jerry's arrangement. I think he's going to let Kobe play. ”
Barkley smiled: "I think so, the Lakers haven't locked up the win yet." ”
When he was in the Raptors, Yang Rui helped Carter brush the data, and many people were impressed. Since Yang Rui left, Carter has never played super data in a single game.
Today, Yang Rui will not let Kobe be polite, in Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe Bryant was powerful as soon as he hit the Nuggets, and it lasted until 2013.
The Nuggets didn't fall behind much, but they still had a chance to win the game and sent the starting lineup for the opening game.
Yang Rui also sent an offensive lineup, Mo Williams, Hojberg, Kobe, Iguodala, Yao Ming, and the five-person all-round shooting on the floor. He pursued offense, not holding on to the advantage, so something magical happened, with Iguodala making a cameo as a power forward.
This is to lead the Nuggets interior players to attack the basket, as long as they can't shoot, there will be misplacement when counterattacking. Iguodala can't carry Hilario or Camby, and at 198CM, it's hard to interfere with shots near the penalty area, but as long as Yao Ming is there, the penalty area won't become the opponent's back garden.
This kind of extreme play of the lineup against each other, the defensive coach will never arrange it like this, and Hollins watched from the sidelines.
Hornacek saw the change in his face and smiled: "Didn't the Grizzlies also let Battier make a cameo appearance as a power forward last season?" ”
"Battier is 203CM, Iguodala is only 198CM, and this is a deliberate flaw." Hollins sighed. He came to gild, and he felt insightful in the first scene.
"As long as we can win, we just don't neglect training and increase the defensive intensity in the playoffs." Yang Rui said with a smile.
"What if the Nuggets catch up?" Hollins felt that the margin was less than 20 points and that it was risky.
"Then Kobe Bryant can play a little longer." Yang Rui smiled.
The Nuggets' defense is flawed, Yang Rui believes that as long as a few minutes to strengthen the defense, it is enough to win the game, and now Iguodala is at the No. 4 position, not only does not become a defensive black hole, but also does a good job of defending mid-to-long-range shooting.
The main reason is the Nuggets' center Camby, who lacks offensive means and is not physically strong enough, and Iguodala has no problem defending him. Even if Camby is full of energy, he will average 12 points per game at the peak.
Yang Rui hopes that Kobe Bryant can score as much as possible, and after twenty years, fans will not remember the game process, they will only see the statistics, remember the results, and then think that Kobe Bryant is strong.
Just like Westbrook averaged 3 double-doubles per game in the 2017 regular season and won the regular season MVP, who cares that the Thunder's record in the past decade is only sixth in the West? Who would remember that the Thunder players were going crazy that summer?
Yang Rui wants to let Kobe take an extreme path, the team has already said hello, and the players are willing to cooperate.
On the first offense in the final quarter, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming played blocking and dismantling to get rid of Hamilton, and broke through Camby on the right side to score a layup.
In the next round, he received the ball in the low post on the right side, singled Hamilton, turned and threw the ball backwards and jumpers.
In the third round, Kobe Bryant didn't look for cover, received the ball on the right side and threatened three times, and made a pull-up jumper in the face of Hamilton.
Nuggets attacked, Camby attacked the basket, turned around and threw under Iguodala's defense, missed the basket from close range, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack, Kobe Bryant himself took to the frontcourt, and hit a three-point shot against Hamilton.
It only took a minute and a half for Kobe Bryant to score 9 points in a row and easily score 50 points.
The Nuggets replaced Camby, replaced Leonard, and let Anthony play small ball tactics at the No. 4 position, wanting to strengthen the offense.
Unfortunately, it didn't work, Hilario and Miller played blocking and dismantling, and after receiving the ball, they didn't shoot at the defenders, so they should find teammates. His "selfless" mistake was made again, and he was unwilling to shoot if he couldn't guarantee a shooting percentage.
Yang Rui did not replace Kobe, but asked to speed up the offensive tempo, grab the rebound and pass Kobe Bryant, and let him directly hold the ball and go heads-up.
This is to imitate the future Thunder team's style of play, focusing the ball on one person, and the opponent will not cover himself, attracting the bag and then dividing the ball. In this style of play, as long as the star has physical strength, it is no problem to shoot 20 times in a quarter.
If Nash is fast, the Suns are running and bombing in 5 seconds, Kobe Bryant is a little slower, but he is resolute, at most 6 or 7 seconds is an attack, Yao Ming has not run half the court, he threw it and began to defend.
Lakers players don't grab frontcourt rebounds, Nuggets players also play fast break after winning rebounds in order to chase points, the two sides go back and forth, there are many defensive holes, and the game becomes very good.
Kobe Bryant has never been encouraged by Yang Rui to brush points, and he is crazy. His choice to the frontcourt was very simple, and he was in a hot state against Hamilton's back-to-back pull-outs, scoring 15 more points and dispelling an assist on 5-of-10 shooting, 3-of-6 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws in the last seven minutes.
In the final two minutes, the Lakers led 133-113 and the game went into garbage time.
Kobe Bryant was replaced, scored 24 points in the final quarter, and scored 65 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists in the game, breaking his career scoring record!
