Standing pretty old

Chapter 372
Many people Kohei think Kobe is a blacksmith.

This is wrong, because Kobe's career shooting rate is nearly 45%, which is certainly not high compared to Jordan's 50%, but it is by no means a professional blacksmith. You cannot say that Kobe is the number one blacksmith in history just because he takes more shots. . (Kidd laughs silently.)
There are also many Kohei who think that Kobe is a black hole with possession of the ball and does not pass the ball.

This is also a wrong perception. Kobe averaged 4.7 assists per game in his career, which is only 5.3 times less than Jordan's 0.6 assists.

As a SG, as an offensive end point, Kobe's assists are also not small.

In his peak season, he averaged more than 6 assists per game, so Kobe's passing is not bad.

So apart from his physical fitness, what is the difference between Kobe and Jordan?
The answer is shot selection!

Kobe always likes to use many difficult moves to end the offense. It is true that playing in this way can make many elegant goals, but it also represents the three words "unreasonable"!
Teacher Zhang Lili is not a parallel importer. When the old man was young, he was Charles Barkley of Asia, who had a deep understanding of basketball.

Although he likes Kobe's style of play very much, and unprincipled that Kobe's actions are unreasonable, as long as he scores, it is reasonable.

But what about the missed goals?

When facing ordinary stars, Kobe's rank is higher, so even if his shot selection is unreasonable, relying on his super personal ability, he still has a high possibility of winning the game.

But facing a historically dominant player like Ruan Erniu, Kobe's slight shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

For example, when encountering a zone defense, Kobe can pass the ball first before being surrounded, and then catch the ball and shoot.But he insisted on solving the problem alone, so he was trapped by the Hawks' overall defense.

The Lakers' journey to the playoffs this season was too easy. They made it to the finals smoothly. At the same time, they also developed a very bad habit-just give the ball to Kobe at critical moments.

Kobe's dependence has always been a chronic disease of the Lakers, and the follow-up influence of this disease is very likely to continue after Kobe retires.

Of course, the current Lakers are in big trouble. Kobe couldn't shoot from outside. After entering the three-point line, he was immediately double-teamed by the Hawks.

And who can stand up for the Lakers?
There is only one Pau Gasol!
If it weren't for his multiple mid-range shots from the high post, the game would have completely entered garbage time.

However, the Spaniard, who played well on the offensive end, has nothing to do with Kraft Nguyen on the defensive end.

Ruan Erniu continued his fiery touch in the first half in the third quarter. Whether it was a mid-range shot or a post-up single, he beat Gasol so badly.

Phil Jackson called a timeout, and his method was to also use zone defense to block the Eagles' offense. This may be the most effective way to restrict Kraft Nguyen.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

囧囧sen holds the ball and passes it to Erniu Ruan, who plays Gasol with his back in the low post.

Fisher double-teamed up, Er Niu made a fake move inward, and immediately broke through Gasol from the outside, breaking through the encirclement before Lao Yu and Jia Sao completed the encirclement, and completed the attack.

The Lakers' zone defense is also a perennial problem, and perhaps this is also a kind of fate.

The NBA before 2001 already had a rudimentary form of zone defense. Of course, at that time, limited to the defensive rules, the coaches only declared that he was performing ordinary double-team defense.

Why did the league suddenly keep up with the rules of international basketball after 2001 and legalize the defense?

The answer is a man named Shaquille O'Neal. Using his huge body, he is about to win the third championship trophy for the Lakers and establish a Lakers dynasty that spans the century.

The league's weakening of tall centers has been consistent since entering the 90s.

Why the traditional American center is gradually weakening, in addition to the slack in basic skills training, the strength of the backcourt players led by Jordan, and the weakening of the league's various policies for centers are also indisputable facts.

Since the introduction of zone defense and defensive three seconds, the good days of tall centers are gone forever.

The strength of the Lakers gave birth to the legalization of zone defense tactics, but the Lakers themselves have not been able to play zone defense well. This is really a sad story.

At 34:24, Gasol scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist in a single quarter. When Er Niu put more defensive attention on Kobe, Gasol caught almost every offensive opportunity.

But Kobe's miserable data of 3 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist in a single quarter still allowed the Eagles to further increase the score.

At the end of the three quarters, 94:72, the Lakers trailed the Hawks by 22 points at home. This score can almost declare that the Lakers lost G3.

In the ESPN commentary booth, Jeff Van Gundy spread his hands and said: "If the diehard fans of the Lakers can leave the field early or turn off the TV, the result of the game will not change."

Mark Jackson said: "Hey, Jeff, you have to be careful, be careful that ESPN deducts your salary, you are affecting the ratings."

Jeff Van Gundy didn't care about this, and continued: "It turns out that the league is completely right to give the best coach to Mike Woodson. At least he put Kraft Nguyen in the center position, which is magically helpful. The Hawks rise.

In contrast, a coach with 11 championship rings is much worse. He doesn't understand zone defense at all. "

Mike Breen said, "Everybody knows who you're talking about? So what do you two think about the Hawks?"

Mark Jackson said: "This season, if there is any team that is underestimated? It must be the Eagles. They have been improving, and every improvement is beyond people's expectations.

No matter who the final champion is, I'm already thinking about next season.What I want to say is that the Hawks next season may be even more exciting. "

Jeff Van Gundy added: "Especially Kraft Nguyen. In the first three quarters, he has scored 35 points, 16 rebounds, and 3 assists. If the Lakers don't surrender, they may not have suffered a greater humiliation."

Mike Breen said, "What do you mean?"

Van Gundy said with a smile: "O'Neal set a record of 00+01 in the finals for the Lakers in the 44-20 season. Do you think Ruan Erniu will break this record today?"

The three laughed at the same time. This question should be left to the Lakers to answer.

Admitting defeat in advance is obviously too embarrassing for the Lakers. This is the Staples Center; if you don't admit defeat, can you let Ruan Erniu break the strong record of the Sharks?
Even Kobe would definitely not want to.

Someone chopped off superhuman data on his own head, even if the broken record was created by O'Neill, whom he loved and hated.

Just before the start of the third and fourth quarters, a little tidbit happened on the sidelines.

Jack Nicholson and Spike Lee are at it again.

"Spike, you're so happy, it's not your Knicks that made it to the Finals."

"Jack, shut your mouth, the Eagles are my hometown team. Besides, as long as I see you upset, I'm happy!"

The two big guys are not too young, but they don't look respected at all, and they are not much different from elementary school students when they quarrel.

　I'm too busy on Sunday, so I'll send an update first, there should be another update, I'm sorry, the third update probably won't be finished, I'll find a chance to make up for it later.

　　In addition, Phil Jackson should have 07 as of the 08-11 season, which is tied with Auerbach. He won 2 as a player and the remaining 9 as a coach. There may be mistakes or omissions in the previous article, sorry.
