Chapter 711 Falling down (please subscribe for a big chapter~)

Thibodeau's defense against the Lakers, especially Kobe Bryant, has been relatively successful. Just look at Kobe's shooting percentage against the Bulls.After Kobe joined the Bulls from Hibbert, he played 5 regular season games with the Bulls, scoring 44.4%, 39.1%, 47.8%, 31.8%, and 43.8%.The highest is 47.8%, which exceeds the career hit rate, and the lowest is only 31.8%, which is much lower than the career hit rate.So Thibodeau really has nothing to choose about Kobe's defensive experience, among the top coaches in the NBA.

Even Tang Qian felt that he was better than the Pistons in 04.

why?If you watch the 04 finals or the video, you will find that the Pistons' defense against Kobe was not that good. They took a lot of shots. Well, it's just that Kobe didn't make the shots himself.According to Kobe's competitive status and ability for three consecutive championships, he was basically stronger every year. Suddenly, the iron city became a dog, and the reason was more on his own body.

For a whole season, due to the lawsuits and lack of systematic training, the physical reserve and competitive state in the later period suffered a huge decline.This is probably the most important thing.What soap operas, what OK contradictions, that will indeed affect the record of the Lakers, but it will definitely not have such a big impact on Kobe's personal ability.

So that year, it wasn't that the Pistons were too defensive and Hamilton was physically exhausted in defense, or that he couldn't do it himself.

Physical fitness and condition are the lowest point of the peak state.

Look at the recovery from injuries in the 05-06 season, how did Kobe, who was ready for the season, deal with the Pistons?
39 in one game and 40 in one game. Of course, the defense is also very strong, but it is definitely not to the extent that everyone imagined.

It's just that Kobe's own state has problems, and his physical reserves are insufficient, so he was beaten into a shit, a mess.

Can't make some shots that could have been made?Who can blame this?The first to bear the brunt of this pot is Kobe himself.

What kind of anger, what blind investment, just ask you, the OK group has conflicts and anger, has it been like this for a year?Kobe made a few blind shots, is this one time?Is that how he originally played?If Kobe could not be entangled in lawsuits that year, which consumed a lot of time and energy, if he could have time to train systematically, as long as he played normally, the Lakers would not lose that year.

Because the Lakers during the three-peat championship period, Kobe "blindly made a few shots" to attack alone at the critical moment. Phil Jackson clearly stated in his autobiography "The Last Season" that the last is "Kobe time".It's just that this time, he didn't complete the task and failed.

There are defensive factors, but compared to that of the Celtics, it is more of Kobe's own problems.

Why do you say that?Because Kobe not only played against the Pistons in the playoffs that year, he was basically unsightly except for the Spurs in the first few rounds.Playing the Spurs was almost exhausted to the point of collapse.Well, peak Kobe, when did you see him so tired?

In 03-04, it was one time, and the entire playoff trip was far below Kobe's normal level.

If you really think that Kobe in the OK combination period is a few grades behind Kobe in 05, then it must be...

But facing the Celtics is different. You can see from the video that this is a real defensive strategy and defensive system aimed at Kobe. It is much more terrifying than the Pistons back then.One is that one's state is bad and one plays poorly, and the other one is that one's state is good and one plays poorly. I believe everyone can understand a thing or two about the difference.

So Thibodeau is really good at dealing with Kobe, and he is very good at encircling and suppressing this "one-man team".

Just look at James' shooting percentage when he played for the Bulls in those years, and it is also far below the average shooting percentage.

It's even bigger than Kobe's decline (this is because Zhan Huang's original shooting percentage was too high).

From Thibodeau's 10-11 entry to the Bulls until he left the Bulls in the 14-15 season, the data of the James series and the Bulls are as follows: 44.7% once, 43.8% once, and 39.9% once.Since the 10-11 season, Zhan Huang's shooting percentage in the regular season has always been a monster of more than 50%, and it has dropped by nearly ten percentage points, which is conceivable.

Really, if it weren't for Rose's disappointment and the Bulls' configuration is a bit worse than Zhan Huang, it's really not sure who can win.

Because as I said before, a decline of about 10 percentage points is completely restricted for Chaoju.

Yes, it's not an ordinary restriction, it's not something that's well-prevented, in layman's terms, it's just being blocked.

There is nothing to argue about.

If both Kobe and James are deflated in the team coached by Thibodeau, this does not explain the problem. I am afraid that the only way to restore Joe to the peak is to try it out for himself.

So in the first quarter, according to the Lakers' play style during this period, Thibodeau frantically surrounded No. 24 as soon as he came up, preventing him from playing rhythm and touch, because in this way, he would not be able to drive the entire team behind. attack.Tom Thibodeau sees it very clearly. The offensive mode of this Los Angeles Lakers team is simple, monotonous and rigid. Kobe attacks first, then opens up the situation, and then uses his personal ability to attract the defense and pull the defense line for the rest of the Lakers. In the fourth quarter, the 24th came out for finishing work.

Therefore, this kind of team can be contained and killed from the source.

As a super defensive master, it is impossible for him not to use it, and it is impossible not to understand it.

So in the first quarter, Kobe played extremely poorly, to what extent, he only made 10 of 2 shots!This is definitely extremely rare this season.Kobe was held down, and the Lakers' offense was tantamount to venting their strength at the beginning. Only 14 points in a single quarter are evidence.You have to know that getting this score is due to Farmar's fighting spirit and making two open three-pointers, otherwise...

But fortunately, the Bulls' own offense is not good. Against this kind of team, Tang Qian can be said to be one-handed. He made the Bulls' main center Joakim Noah eat 3 hot pots in the first quarter.And Noah has averaged about 10 shots per game this season, and Tang Qian has prevented nearly 3/1 of his shots all at once.

But this year is also Noah's peak. In Yuanshikong, he was the winner of DPOY and double first team, but now.

Hehe, I'm sorry, it's hard to say for a while, DPOY and Yifang, Tang Qian is bound to win.

In fact, Tang Qian's DPOY leads the way in the current simulation rankings. Who is No.2?Joakim Noah of the Bulls, of course.Although there is only one ranking difference, Tang Qian currently has a simulated voting rate of 50.5%. What about Joakim Noah?Only 24.8%.

The difference is not that big in general.

In recent years, the DOPY has always won 20.00% or even more than ten percent of the votes, lacking overwhelming power, but it seems that this year, this situation will change.

Because there are "monsters come" and "monsters mature".

14-19 in a single quarter, this is really a score that "violates" the rhythm of modern basketball, but 10 years ago, this kind of score difference was not surprising.

Looking at the score in this single quarter, we know that this game should be a low-scoring offensive and defensive battle, and it is unlikely that there will be a scene of 100+ points.

In the second quarter, Tang Qian rested as usual to prepare for the second half, but Kobe could not leave the court, so he asked himself to stay on the court.

Mike D'Antoni couldn't resist him, so he could only nod in agreement.

This is the current situation of the Lakers and D'Antoni. He just wants to pray now that the Lakers don't suffer from injuries, otherwise the ball will really be impossible to play.

Facts have proved that in this world, there is something called "continuous bad luck", and there is a law called "Murphy's Law".

The Bulls played proactively in the second quarter, because Thibodeau had studied the Lakers, and he knew that the No. 29 Lakers would spend most of the time off the court in this quarter.So to attack the Lakers' basket, to attack the Lakers' basket, the second quarter is the best opportunity.

Thibodeau is very confident about his Bulls team. He thinks it is not safe for other teams to lead by 20 points. For his own team, 15 points is enough. 15 minutes or so is enough.

That's defensive confidence.

And there is really nothing to be afraid of attacking the team alone.

He can make his opponent score high, he only needs to make it difficult, make it difficult, and take away the victory at the same time.

Winning is what he cares about, statistics, he doesn't care so much.

So it's really not easy for you to get a good average per game in the Bulls. Looking at Rose's MVP year, you think, oh, let me go, this is too ordinary.However, considering the offensive and defensive rounds and offensive and defensive rhythm of the Bulls, this data is far more powerful than it appears.

Kobe got angry in the second quarter. He didn't want the team's winning streak to be ended, because it would make the role players play worse and lose heart.So Kobe entered "The.Zone" in a single quarter and began to shoot some unreasonable shots. Although the Bulls defended well, they still couldn't stop the Lakers' No. 24 from "blind hits" and "blind shots".

Really, all the balls are singles with the ball, no assists, no cuts, no running. Most of the Lakers players watch the show and watch Kobe fight alone.This is the embodiment of not having a sense of team identity and team dedication. Once the players don't have a basketball in their hands, once they can't collect the data, their enthusiasm and enthusiasm will be greatly reduced.

But it's not that Kobe didn't try to pass the ball in the first half, and he is not in his early 20s. After three years and two championships, Kobe understands the importance of his teammates.However, most of the balls he passed turned into the sound of "bang bang bang".

This made No. 24 lose confidence immediately.

The difference between him and a player like LeBron James is that if his teammates don't feel good, he will definitely come by himself.

There is no more patience and trust.

This is a game style decision and cannot be changed.

Kobe shot more than 50% in the second quarter, and all of them were one-on-one. When there was basically no one-on-one, it was incredible to be able to shoot this kind of shooting.Really, in terms of ultra-difficult shots, Jordan may be slightly worse than Kobe.

When this kind of ball goes in, the head coach can only shake his head, which is completely a manifestation of personal ability.

Unreasonable.

But no matter how strong a person is, can he support a team?Occasionally it may be possible, such as 81 points, such as 100 points, but how much is this probability? NBA has a long history, countless games, isn't it just a few games?So Kobe scored 19 points in a single quarter, but this was not enough for the Lakers to overtake their opponents and reverse the overall disadvantage.

Because the Bulls used the principle and style of play of multi-point blooming and multi-point offense, the Lakers' internal and external lines were all blown up, and Kobe alone could not solve the problem.

Look at the current lineup on the field, Farmar, Kobe, Jordan Hill, Nick Young, Ryan Kelly, and you will know how fragile the defense and rotation of this lineup are.From ability to body, basically nothing has any advantage.

It's really just one word, scum.

Most importantly, however, there is a lack of enthusiasm and motivation.

Otherwise, you're all NBA players, so you wouldn't be so bad. The Bulls don't have any single-point blasters, so it's entirely because my attitude is too ordinary and I just think about "clocking out of get off work".

Someone needs to activate it.

But how to activate it?This is a problem.

After halftime, the Lakers trailed by 37 points, 49-12.

It was still the same in the second half, with Kobe attacking and Tang Qian guarding the basket. In this quarter, the Bulls' defense increased to another level, allowing the Lakers' outside players to fight almost all of them.Tang Qian's inside shot was also interfered by Noah, and he missed the basket.

How to say this season is also Noah's peak, Yuan Shikong can take over the inside line of DOPY+ double first team, no matter how lucky, no matter how wet, it is also a strong master.If you really think that he is a weak chicken who can kill a lot, he must be out of his mind.

Because he was able to get this honor, no matter how bad he was, no matter how lucky he was, he was one of the top three insiders that season.

If you still doubt this, you will despise the gold content of NBA honor too much.

Again, why didn't others seize the opportunity?Why haven't others done it?
If you don't do it, you are not necessarily weak, but if you do it, you must be strong.

Tang Qian is now shooting in front of Arnold. If it is not for air cuts and off-ball runs, it will basically be a locked-in situation, and the shooting rate will definitely not be good.

Seeing that the scores behind were getting bigger and bigger, Kobe was so angry that he actually entered the "super god state" directly.This season's No. 24 is really easy to enter the "super god", which is the result of the combination of various recovery peaks + more than ten years of court experience.But I have to mention that this season, during this period of time, the number of times he has entered the "Super God" is too many and too frequent.

No matter how strong he is, no matter how good his physical strength is, he does not have Tang Qian's "recovery crystal brick", so this kind of consumption is invisible.

Even irreversible.

He is just the super-peak Kobe of the all-round peak, not blessed with invincibility halo and cheats, not Superman and Iron Man, flesh and blood, there is always a limit and measurement.It's like an armored car is crash-resistant. Fuck, but doesn't that mean it won't break or wear out?
In order to ensure the shooting rate in this quarter, the Black Mamba kept attacking the Bulls inside and under the basket. The shooting rate and scoring went up, but the fatigue level also rose sharply.After all, the iron-blooded defensive style of the Chicago Bulls in recent years is not fake.

It is impossible for you to get points easily.

Whoever comes is the same.

Against an iron-blooded defensive team, if you want to score, especially in the penalty area and low post, you don't pay a price, that's impossible.

Kobe scored a full 28 points in this quarter, plus Tang Qian's 4 points and Wesley Johnson's 3 points, the Lakers scored 35 points in a single quarter.The Bulls only scored 23 points in this quarter.So all of a sudden, the score difference is tantamount to nothing.

72-72, the two sides tied the score in the third quarter and returned to the starting line.

Kobe has now scored 51 points, but it consumes a lot, and he has not rested for a minute now, which has almost become the norm in the last ten or so games.

Peak No. 24 physical fitness Needless to say, the existence of the top outside line, just talking about the peak, does not necessarily have to be worse than Jordan's physical fitness.However, it is still too exaggerated to play the whole game continuously.Peak Jordan did not do this either.

It is completely not treating your body as flesh and blood.

Now that the game is so stalemate, Kobe's game should be another full-court appearance.

Kobe tried to drive the whole team in the fourth quarter, but under the Bulls' defensive system, his shooting percentage was extremely low. At the end, even many Lakers players lost their confidence in shooting, and their shots were a bit too "casual".

Relaxation can improve the hit rate, as can concentration, but "casual" and "loose" can only reduce but not improve.

You mean peak Curry?Come on, people are just so good on the surface, the moment of real shooting, the concentration power is beyond the historical level.

Seeing that the Bulls widened the score again, Kobe could only enter the "Super God" again, and asked why he used it again?
Because it is impossible to maintain the "Super God" for a long time, it would consume too much, even Kobe could not achieve 81 points per game.

If you play like that, you won't be able to play 20 games. You will definitely be reimbursed for the season and your body will collapse.

However, at this time, the Bulls had an outside feel, and one three-point shot was accurate, so Kobe succeeded in consecutive singles, and did not turn the scores of the two sides over.

Now there is 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the game, and the Lakers are still 5 points behind the Bulls.

At this moment, Kobe Bryant has scored a total of 64 points. Calculated in this way, he has broken his own record of 50+ points in a row, tying Chamberlain's record of 61 consecutive games with 62+ points in the 7-50 season.Coincidentally, Chamberlain also "only scored 43 points" in that game, otherwise he should have scored 13+ in 50 consecutive games.

Looking at the numbers is simple, do you know the energy behind this high frequency and high density score?To give a simple example, as strong as LeBron James, after scoring 13 points in the 14-61 season, do you know how many games he slowed down before returning to his normal level in that season? In the 13-14 season, LeBron James was close to averaging 27+7+6 per game, mainly because his shooting percentage reached a career peak of 56.7%!Boy, do you know how hard it is for a perimeter player to shoot over 55% from the field?Regardless of whether there are other stars helping him to share the firepower and reduce the defensive pressure, this achievement is close to abnormal.Many inside superstars can't hit this hit rate.

Duncan, Yao Ming, Malone, Garnett (only played 5 games in the last season, the sample is too small and too accidental, so it is not counted.), Olajuwon, David Robinson, etc. A list of inside superstars Or the super giants, none of them have hit 56.7% in a single season in a single season.Therefore, behind this data, the lethality is terrifying.James also completed the first 60+ performances in his career this season.But, uh, in hindsight you know what scoring and shooting percentage he's been in for seven straight games?Probably like this, the score is 7+22+19+17+23+19+21, all lower than his average score this season.Then the hit rate was 24% + 50% + 33.3% + 34.8% + 66.7% + 46.2% + 47.1%, only one game exceeded 47.1%, and the rest all fell, or fell sharply.In the case that it has not entered the garbage time and the playing time has not fallen but increased, it can only be explained that after Zhan Huang exploded a high-intensity "Super God", he needs to make continuous adjustments and continue to slow down.It's not that his fans and himself said that if you get a high score, it's not that you can't, but that you don't want to.

To be clear, 30+40+50+60+, the energy and energy required for each level is very different.

Looking at the data must be combined with the before and after, combined with the historical background. If you stare at a scene too one-sidedly, it is easy to be cramped and laughable.

So you understand why, except for Kobe and Chamberlain, 4 consecutive games of 50+?Let me tell you that even the peak Joe God has never done it.Therefore, the comprehensive consideration and consumption inside are definitely not something that can be given intuitively by a so-called number.

There is no terrifying physical fitness and state continuity. If you want to reach this number, just look at James Huang. There is no 6-7 games, no ten days, you can't slow down.Durant?Let's talk about him scoring 60 points in a game first, no, let's talk about 55 points in a game.Adu is more than stable, and he listed it before he made a high shot, and his hit rate dropped sharply, making you unable to support him.

So Kobe did this, pushed himself like this, and he was a little bit close to the limit.The superimposed data is far greater than the consumption of a game, and the more superimposed the consumption is, the more geometric growth will appear.

Tang Qian defended a breakthrough layup by the Bulls. Kobe hit back with the ball, brushed ~, made a 2-pointer, and there was still a 3-point gap.

The Bulls tried a three-pointer, but Kobe forcibly broke through the pick-and-roll and successfully interfered with the shot.When ~ basketball strikes iron out.

Tang Qian jumped high to protect the low rebound, and then he turned around and passed to No. 24. In the last few tens of seconds, in the Los Angeles Lakers, that was "Kobe time".Even if there is "Shark" O'Neal, that's the same.

The reason is very simple, the center and the inside need to feed the ball, but the outside players do not.

Things like a dragon are really insulated from inside players.

A person does not necessarily have the opportunity to be a dragon several times in his life.

Therefore, this mode, this method of playing, Kobe is very familiar with it. When he was a rookie, he did it like this.

Even if he casts the "three non-stick" and "air ball" consecutively, it will not kill his determination and confidence.

He is the kind of master who is naturally confident. Otherwise, if he is a rookie and makes consecutive shots in the playoffs in the playoffs, he may not be able to stand the anger of the fans and the ridicule of the media, and he may give up on himself.

If you are not a proud child of heaven, you have to get stronger and stronger, otherwise, you will always be insulated from the word great.

Kobe broke through, and the Bulls immediately dispatched double-teams. Joakim Noah is a defensive master, and his explosive enthusiasm has raised his defensive ceiling to a certain extent.In Thibodeau's defensive system, he is the model of the Celtics KG Garnett, so if you carefully study the defensive tactics of the two teams, you will find that Noah and Garnett are surprisingly synchronized and similar in many places .

But to say that Noah is comparable to KG is overthinking. KG used to be a combination of offense and defense. It was only when he went to the Celtics at the age of 31~32 that he really turned into a pure defensive core, but he was still unstoppable and chilling.Noah is still under 29 years old this season, so in terms of physical function, he has taken too much advantage over Garnett.If Garnett goes to the Celtics to form the "Big Three" at the age of 28, it is estimated that the league will go crazy.This is not an exaggeration at all. At that time, Garnett was the PF second only to Duncan in the league, not as good as the number one PF in history. This is no shame.

Of course, the most important thing is that Thibodeau's targeting of Kobe is in place. Kobe was double-teamed by two Bulls players as soon as he entered the corner position.In order to hit the target, he could only force his strength, use super-high skills, make a fake pause, and then try his best to break away from the double-team in front of him, but he is only half of the body, and there is no room for hesitation.

At this moment, the Bulls came over with other players. This Chicago Bulls' ability to protect the low and strong side of the halfcourt is one of the magic weapons.Kobe Bryant's offensive intentions can easily be guessed. Anyway, the number 24 of the Lakers is basically the one who can't pass the ball at the last minute, right?

He will definitely come by himself!
Kobe forced a jump shot in the three-man defense, and the basketball barely passed the defender's fingers and flew to the Bulls' basket.

It's a pity that with the sound of "Duang", the Lakers fans showed disappointment in front of the TV, but the Chicago fans at the scene were very happy, as if the Bulls had won the victory.

There are only more than 8 seconds left in the time, and there is no more rounds and time for the opponent to attack, unless...

Unless the Lakers can get this offensive rebound!

Tang Qian jumped high and used the Bulls' Noah's defense to beat Carlos Boozer to get the offensive rebound.

Then he passed the ball without thinking about it.

Because he is still short of 3 points, even if he succeeds in attacking the basket, he will only have 2 points, not to mention there is a great possibility that he will not be able to score.

The basketball flew to Jordan Farmar at the top arc. Farmar was about to shoot a three-pointer, but Jimmy Butler rushed out very smartly. The latter's height, weight and athletic ability surpassed Farmar's. If Maer makes a forced shot, it is easy to be blocked by the opponent.Even if he is lucky and doesn't get blocked, in order to avoid blocking, he has to destroy his shooting rhythm.

And the most taboo for a fixed-point shot like him is to be disrupted. He doesn't have the ability to directly pull up like Kobe Jordan.

So this ball cannot be shot.

OK, win!

Thibodeau watching from the sidelines and defending to win is his basketball philosophy.

But at this time, someone forcibly rushed out from the horns, and shouted loudly while waving: "Pass~Give it to me!"

As soon as Farmar heard the voice, he immediately transferred the basketball in his hand as if he was amnesty.

Who came out?No. 24 Kobe Bryant, of course.After he got the ball, he didn't pause at all, turned around and shot a three-pointer with a fadeaway.

Why do you want to do this?This is because there is not enough time, and the rest of the Bulls are chasing after him. If he pauses for a second, with the athletic ability of an NBA player, it is enough to re-stick and build an encirclement.Therefore, there is no choice but to act immediately.

But how many people can do it immediately?Reverse run to catch the ball and turn back for a three-pointer? ? ?It is not easy to do this movement, balance, coordination, waist and abdomen strength, all must be S level.Then it can’t be finished, and the hit rate and attack power must be maintained. Adding these two points together, Kobe is the only one in the entire league now.

The three members of the Bulls are all struggling to chase, and Noah is completely impossible. He is a big man, and his speed is still limited.So only Hinrich and Mike Dunleavy rushed forward.

But it's a pity that Kobe's ball not only turned around and stopped for a three-pointer, but also fell back, so the two were ultimately beyond their reach.

Can only watch Kobe shot.

"Joe King! Go back to defense immediately to protect the rebound!" Seeing that Noah was a little "waiting for the result", Thibodeau was very dissatisfied and shouted while standing on the sidelines.Noah was shocked, immediately accelerated again, and turned his head to the team's inside line.

But this ball, there is no chance to grab a rebound, because the basketball bounced on the rim, it took a little time, and then fell into the net restlessly.

Swipe ~ the goal light is on, Kobe hit a difficult three-pointer, the Lakers 81-81, and in the last second, tied the score difference.

The two sides will go into overtime to decide the winner.

Kobe has scored 48 points in 69 minutes. It seems that tonight is likely to be another "70+ night".

But at this moment, on the smiles that the Lakers players just raised, the picture freezes.

Because after the Lakers landed on the 24th, they actually fell down.
