NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 329: Unseen Tactics

Mortals may never understand the horror of a legend's wrath.

If mortals could understand, there would be no 81-point night.

Of course, at this time, Kobe was still far from a legend. He was still only a second-tier "Peter Pan".

Although the Los Angeles media has trumpeted their darling, claiming that "Peter Pan" is the successor of the old gangster, everyone knows that the real "King of Los Angeles" is the big shark who is currently sitting and resting.

Without that shark, there would be no top three for Kobe. . .No, the first two championship rings.

Of course, Kobe is not an ordinary passenger. He is the co-pilot of the bus and a member of the disciplinary committee.

Without his inexhaustible competitive spirit, that Lakers team might have fallen apart sooner.

It is his tyranny and old hooligan-like encouragement to his teammates that keeps the Lakers locker room striving to win the next championship.

Now, facing the old rival Kings, the team that knocked them off the throne, Kobe prepared his revenge and began his gorgeous transformation.

Christie took the lead to defend. He saw the fire in Kobe's eyes, but he was not afraid.

Mortals are mortal, but mortals are never afraid!
Kobe did not dare to be careless in the face of this old rival.

Although Christie has been pushed to the bench by Lu Yuanzhi this year, it is not because he is not strong enough, but because Lu Yuanzhi is more comprehensive.

In terms of defensive skills, Christie is still the well-deserved number one for the Kings.

Kobe made a few tentative steps, but Christie was unmoved. But the next moment, Kobe faked it and turned the tentative steps into a substantial breakthrough, quickly breaking through from Christie's left side.

Christie quickly adjusted his position and followed Kobe with a high-speed slide.

Of course, Kobe didn't think that such a simple acceleration could get rid of Christie. After arriving near the free throw line, Kobe made an emergency stop, and then suddenly accelerated again.

This change of pace inevitably caused loopholes in Christie's defense, but it was not a big problem. Christie worked hard to catch up and continued to stick to Kobe.

But during the march, Kobe suddenly turned around and leaned on Christie's body to his right rear.

Christie quickly braked, but the huge inertia caused him to slide forward a short distance.

Kobe raised his hand to shoot.

"It's now!"

Christie used all his strength to pull his forward body back, then stepped heavily on the ball and jumped up to block Kobe's shot.

But Kobe's jump shot was just a fake move.

He went from crouching to standing upright and faked a shot, but he didn't take off at all.

Seeing Christie rushing towards him, Kobe held the ball in both hands, nimbly dodged the block, and shot again before Christie flew past him.

This time, no one can interfere with his shooting.

This time, it's also a real shot.

Kobe shot one step inside the free throw line. The arc of the ball was not high and not beautiful, but like a cannonball, it accurately penetrated the hoop.

Kobe scored his first point of the night.

The Lakers also chased the score to 32:35.

Next is Kobe's performance moment. In the new, oh, no, I should say, with the blessing of the old gangster version of the triangle offense, Kobe continues to get opportunities to challenge Christie.

Post-ups, breakthrough dunks, pull-up jump shots.

Kobe continues to show off his offensive arsenal.What the Kings cannot accept is that this little blacksmith from Milan was absolutely outrageous today.

In such a short period of time, Kobe has made 8 of 6 shots, made two free throws, and scored 14 points.

This kind of explosive scoring power cannot be resisted by anyone.

Fortunately, on the offensive end, the Kings still had Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson scoring points, and Kobe was not allowed to defeat a team alone.

Really bad experience.

It's not like the Kings haven't made other attempts to limit Kobe's performance, such as replacing Lu Yuanzhi, who is better at defending Kobe.

But tonight, not only did Kobe's hand feel horribly hot, but O'Neal also changed his gender.

Can you imagine that Shark came out from the inside to set up a pick-and-roll?
This damn fat man, I don’t know what he was thinking today, but he was willing to leave his warm nest, the source of his strength, and swim out of the restricted area!
This caught everyone in the Kings team off guard.

The Kings were completely unprepared for such an unusual move.

Lu Yuanzhi was blocked by O'Neal's strong body time and time again, allowing Kobe to easily find breakthrough opportunities.

O'Neal: My little brother performed well today. Although he has some problems, he is my most reliable right-hand man on the court.

The little guy has a good touch today and is very likely to refresh his playoff scoring record, so why not let him perform well?
After all, this is Samurai, not Los Angeles!
The Lakers entered a strange offensive scheme that no one, not even Phil Jackson, could have imagined.

In this attack, Kobe dribbled at the top of the arc, and Shaquille O'Neal pulled out from the inside and firmly blocked Lu Yuanzhi for Kobe.

Divac stepped forward to interfere with Kobe and buy time for Lu Yuanzhi.

He succeeded and he failed.

After the pick-and-roll, O'Neal quickly cut inside, and Kobe also accelerated at the same time. Divac didn't know what defensive choice to make for a while.

But soon, he no longer had to make a choice.

Divac, who was known for his speed when he was young, will be broken through by both O'Neal without the ball and Kobe with the ball. Behind Kobe is Lu Yuanzhi who is struggling to catch up.

The OK combination both entered the inside, Lu Yuanzhi chose to stick to Kobe, and Kobe casually threw the ball into the air.

throw?
Lu Yuanzhi knew who was next to him, so he jumped up and tried to intercept the ball from the air.

Never let the ball pass!

But the ball still flew over Lu Yuanzhi's head, and then Lu Yuanzhi felt a hurricane whistling behind him. The huge figure firmly grabbed the basketball in the air, and then smashed it into the basket!

Alley-oop dunk from OK combination!
Damn!

How to defend such an attack?

As long as Kobe and O'Neal accelerate into the paint together, they are unstoppable!
Whether it is Kobe who is the main attacker or O'Neal who is following up, they both pose a great threat to the basket.

What's more, Divac can no longer keep up with O'Neal.

Damn!

We played 11 games against the Lakers last year, and four more games against the Lakers this year. The offensive method that had not appeared in the entire 4 games was shown to everyone for the first time.

Is this the peak of OK coordination?

Is this the offensive tactics led by Kobe?
Is this the off-ball offense of a nimble fat guy like O'Neal?
It's so brutal!

I can't prevent it, I can't prevent it at all!
