Chapter 541

When the Warriors missed a shot, Golden State switched to Harrison Barnes.

This……

A series of memories began to flood into Tang Qian's mind like a slide show.

"China Hot didn't catch up? What is he doing in the backcourt? Has he lost his mind?" This scene made the Staples fans unable to understand.Now is the critical stage of chasing points. What's the matter with you being distracted on the 29th? ? ?In the front row of the Lakers backcourt, some anxious fans shouted: "Tang! What are you doing! Get up! Go to the frontcourt to help immediately!"

"Don't just stand around stupidly! Big Dongfang! Go to the frontcourt immediately! Immediately!"

Hearing this, Tang Qian woke up like a dream, but there was no need for him to pass the ball, because Kobe hit the defender Harrison Barnes hard, broke through his back and fell back, the basketball barely bumped, and fell into the Warriors. Inside the Nets.Why didn't Kobe choose breakthrough kills, because one of the reasons is that he was a bit tired, and it was difficult for young people to bear two consecutive games without rest, or back-to-back games, let alone an "old man" who was going to be 35 soon?Second, Kobe also tried the breakthrough option, but Harrison Barnes' defensive attitude and defensive ability are far superior to Jarrett Jack just now, and the latter is a man in 92, and he is not yet 21 years old. Explosive power, needless to say.

This forced Kobe to finally choose to force a fallback jumper, but due to the decline in physical fitness and strength, his ball was almost blocked by his opponent.After all, Harris Barnes is taller than Kobe, and has a better ricochet than the current Kobe.

So the Warriors' defense is a very successful tactical change.

If Kobe was at his peak, he would have at least 100 ways to tear his opponent apart, but now...

He felt... powerless.

He felt as if... a little tired.

damn it!I am not yet 35 years old!Why is my physical fitness declining so quickly now?Why is Chicago's No. 23 still able to maintain physical fitness at this age?Is it because you don't take good care of yourself?Could it be that his training was not hard enough?

hateful!

In the words of "Zen Master", Kobe's overall self-discipline in his career is higher than that of Jordan.It was only after the three consecutive championships that Jordan began to systematically practice strength and quit junk food. Even if it wasn't for the blow in Orlando, Jordan would not have such a big change.But Kobe has always done this. He has always been quite self-disciplined. From the first second he stepped into the NBA, he has been very strict with himself.

But it is a pity that in many cases, it is not enough to work hard or persist.

Reality is not a fairy tale, it is much darker than a fairy tale.

So no matter how hard Kobe tried, his talent had already set limits on himself.

No matter how hard you try, it is not as good as Jordan's natural kingly aura.

No matter how hard you try, you are not as good as Jordan's physical talent.

No matter how hard you try, it's not as good as Jordan's defensive instincts.

No matter how hard you try, you are not as good as Jordan...

From the beginning, Bryant was challenging an impossible man, or "god."

Those who hated him said he was overwhelmed, and those who fanned him said he was courageous.

But in Tang Qian's view, Kobe is a "paranoid". From the very beginning, he deliberately set his "ultimate goal" to be the highest and strongest.Yes, it was definitely intentional. In the history of the NBA, few people dared to publicly say that they could beat Jordan and blow him up, except for Kobe.This was even the wild words that came out of the mouth of an underage or just-adult "little kid" when they met alone for the first time.

The rest are respectful, polite, and claim that Jordan is unrivaled.

Oh, forgot, there was Chamberlain, who also thought he could beat Jordan.

But among all active basketball players who are still alive, No. 24 is the only one who dares to say so publicly.

Wade, dare not, James, dare not, Durant, dare not.

Because if you say it like this, the potential pressure on your future is really too great. If you miss it, people will definitely laugh and ridicule you crazily.However, there are still people who dare to do this. In Kobe's own words, set the goal to a place where it cannot be achieved, but still try to achieve it.Yep, that's what he's been doing his entire career.

For example, when you just started playing basketball, do you dare to say that you have defeated the Chinese basketball totem, the little giant Yao Ming?
Thinking about the pressure after saying this sentence publicly, I am terrified when I think about it carefully.

But this also has an advantage, that is, it can force you not to be lazy, not to rest, not to slack off, because the big words have already been spoken, and the feeling of being slapped in the face by others is absolutely uncomfortable.But Kobe is such a person. Aside from this famous conversation with Jordan, he told O'Neal and others just after he entered the Lakers that he would win 5-6 championship rings throughout his career.Come on, that's an underage "little kid", 5~6 championship rings? How many people have had it in NBA history?Even the boss of the Lakers, Shaq O'Neal, was empty-handed!

So O'Neal said in his autobiography: Kobe is the most arrogant young man he has ever seen. When he first entered the league, he said that he would become the NBA version of Will Smith. To win 5-6 championships.This was extremely ridiculous to hear a minor say that when he didn't even have a ring at the time.

O'Neill recalled that he answered like this at the time: oh~ okay~ okay~ just play around with your mouth.

I guess what O'Neill was thinking in his heart was that labor and capital are all the top [-] superstars in the NBA, and he didn't dare to think about it like this. You, a kid who is not yet an adult, are so arrogant?who do you think You Are?Jordan or Magician?

It’s okay for O’Neal to think so, because on the top ten list in NBA history, there are only a handful of outside players who can win 5-6 championships at that time.Even Jordan is working hard for his fifth championship.You, a 17-year-old young man, are you just like that?I really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is.

But then Kobe did almost everything, which made O'Neal say that Kobe's predictions when he was a teenager were actually very accurate.

Want to know who O'Neill is?It's really not easy for him to say that.

Just such a "fanatic", if he can get to this point, if he is not "paranoid", he would have been oppressed by the pressure of the outside world and become "crazy".But looking at it from another angle, isn't this a level that Kobe deliberately set for himself, a sharpening that he deliberately set for himself?

It's nothing more than rubbish, a megalomaniac.

Can it stand up... It will definitely soar into the sky and become a blockbuster.

At least this kind of "perverted" self-embarrassment method, Tang Qian has never thought of using it. The risk is so great that few people in the entire competitive sports circle dare to speak so boldly.

Therefore, he was able to get to where he is today.

Therefore, he can achieve beyond talent.

Anyone's success has a basis for his success. Success is not about buying lottery tickets. Luck is needed, but it is definitely not the most important one.

101-98, the Lakers are still 3 points behind their opponents.

Curry was very angry. He wanted to face (@#￥%&*) shoot Kobe again, but this time, he failed.The Lakers No. 24 doesn't know where the energy comes from. The whole process is close to each other, and the defensive steps are dazzling.It's a pity that he is still far from his peak state, mainly because of the oppression and confrontation, the strength is not enough.

Otherwise, it will definitely make Curry's ball-holding round even more ugly.

Curry is very strong, even this season, he is definitely not weak.

But playing with the ball in front of Kobe, let alone him, have you seen what happened to Irving?Irving's ball handling is the strongest among the new generation of outside players.Curry is far from reaching that level.

Had he played off the ball this round, the result might have been different.

But there was no if in the game, Tang Qian took the defensive rebound steadily, and then passed the ball to Steve Blake.

Seeing that he missed the shot, Curry was depressed, so he changed the player immediately, and clung to Blake.

Blake didn't expect Curry to pounce so hard and almost lost the ball. Fortunately, at this time, someone ran over and shouted: "pass~"

Steve Blake quickly released the ball as if relieved, and the basketball was once again passed to No. 24 of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant's hands.

"Bryant! Don't even think about shooting this shot! I'll guard you!" Barnes' defensive end has always been good, and he is young, with the aura of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.Kobe looked at him twice, turned around and hit back, and then turned around again, as if he was about to take off and make a fallback jumper, but as soon as Barnes's center of gravity changed, No. 24, like a sharp arrow, exerted force with his left foot, like a sharp arrow. Light and shadow instantly penetrated the latter's line of defense.

Kobe's explosive speed of this ball was so fast that Barnes was a little surprised, and then the "car hit the wall" inside, and Kobe was sent to the free throw line again.

"The bridge car hits the wall" is a popular saying in American basketball circles. It mainly refers to the behavior of outside players who are not afraid of physical confrontation, collide with inside players in the penalty area, and then shoot shots or fight for free throws.But in this way, the burden on the body is very large, and usually outside players are more likely to be injured.

Bryant spun the ball at the free throw line, then made a free throw.

Bang~
The first free throw hit the front of the Warriors' basket because it was too weak.

Kobe frowned. He took a deep breath, adjusted for a few seconds, and then shot the second ball.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in midair.

brush~
into the network.

101-99, the Lakers are only two points behind their opponents.

But this scene made Gary Vitti and Judy Seto, who were on the Lakers bench, visibly worried.

They looked at each other and thought: In this quarter, the number of breakthrough kills by the Lakers' No. 24 is really too much.

It's already a little too much.

This is not a good sign.

But it's not that they didn't try just now, and it's not that the Lakers No. 29 didn't try, and they couldn't get rid of that paranoid at all.

Unless his head is cut off, no one can let him go.

Gary Vitti suddenly thought so.

But for some reason, there was always an inexplicable feeling that made Gary Vitti restless.

But he couldn't catch it.

Kobe on the field didn't think too much, he just felt his left foot seemed to be boiling, and suddenly became tighter and stronger.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

After thinking about it for a while, Kobe returned to the state of full concentration.

"Defend! Defend! Harrison! What's the matter with you? Why did you get passed in a flash? Be serious!!!" Curry looked extremely annoyed and unhappy when he saw Kobe making another kill. "I, at that moment just now, it seems that his explosive power has increased a lot. Well, maybe it's just my illusion. I will work harder, Stephen!" Harrison Barnes said.

"It's better like this!" After Curry finished speaking, he devoted himself to the offensive end, ignoring Harrison Barnes.

The current situation of the Warriors is also very bad. Klay Thompson, a stable shooting point, is missing, and the inside attack is weak, so the only person who can undertake the key task is Stephen Curry.To say that this is the gap between Mark Jackson and Steve Kerr's coaching level and coaching concept, the former is still old-fashioned, thinking that at critical moments, the team's chief star should hold the ball to solve the problem, if Steve Kerr If he is here, he must call a timeout now, and then arrange simple and effective off-the-ball running tactics.

And this mistake made Curry deflated again. Under Kobe's defense, he missed consecutive dribble shots, and the basketball was easily protected by the Lakers.

Damn it!I was blocked again!Could it be that I can't handle this old man one-on-one? ? ?

Curry has not yet completely liberated from his previous concepts, so he always thinks about the critical moment, to fight Kobe one-on-one.

But with this kind of ball, he has no chance of winning at all.

Before Kobe's Achilles tendon was torn, the winning percentage against the Warriors was not generally high.

And now, his state is hot, and he has barely entered his "The.Zone" state.

Although Curry has a burst bonus, he is still weaker than No. 24.

It is not unlucky to use one's own weaknesses to attack the opponent's strengths, but the head coach of the Warriors has no plans to change.

It's not that Mark Jackson's coaching ability is so bad. In fact, he is quite good, at least above average in the league, but at critical moments, he always can't control well, and he seems to be out of the chain.If it was Cole, he would definitely force a timeout, let Curry berate him, and tell him not to hold the ball one-on-one with Kobe again, but Mark Jackson doesn't have the courage.

He gave Curry such "wild ways" and "crooked ways" to grow up, but he didn't have the ability to further refine it.

As expected, the basketball was handed over to No. 24 Kobe Bryant of the Lakers.

In that instant, the sound of cheering at the Staples Center suddenly increased by several decibels.

This trust in Kobe, the soul of the Lakers, is also trust in Kobe.

Over the years, Kobe, in a sense, has "spoiled" the home fans a little like Jordan.

With about 3 minutes and 14 seconds left, Kobe held the ball and Harrison Barnes ran out to defend actively.

This was a left back with the ball. Harrison Barnes didn't dare to underestimate the opponent. The ball just now let him know how powerful No. 24 is, so he concentrated the whole time and prepared to fight against Kobe.Kobe made a feint with the ball behind his back, and then felt the defender's center of gravity change, and immediately turned left and cut in. This scene...

Tang Qian was completely dumbfounded. He immediately wanted to run over to force a foul and then suspend the game, but it was too late.

This picture, which impressed Lakers fans, is advancing frame by frame as stipulated.

Then a second later, just before Tang Qian was about to commit a foul, No. 24 of the Lakers suddenly lost his footing and fell to the ground heavily holding the ball.

From the perspective of the entire Lakers team, from the perspective of the Staples audience, and from the perspective of Lakers fans all over the world, it seems that this is just an ordinary slip and fall.But in the eyes of Tang Qian on the 29th, it was like a giant thunder, with a "bang", it ruthlessly hit the Staples Center within one step of the three-point line.

This moment, it seems that time has been slowed down.

Let Tang hide inside, his head went blank.

He suddenly remembered a famous saying that had been hanging in the locker room of the Lakers.

Mason's law.

Turns out... nothing has changed.

... nothing has changed.

PS: Xiaozi watched this game 3 times before writing it. I don’t know what to say... oh...

But Xiao Zi said that everything will satisfy everyone, and Xiao Zi will also be satisfied, please rest assured.
