Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 217 Emotional Intelligence

The atmosphere in the Lakers locker room at this time was quite relaxed.

Because of the living treasure of O'Neal, there is never a shortage of fun in the locker room.

The most important thing is that the Lakers lead 2-0.

Two clean victories made the Lakers feel that the Suns were nothing more than that, and winning this series should be a sure thing.

As for the East, what is that?

It can be said that as long as they surpass the Suns, the Lakers will be the championship.

With three consecutive championships, the Lakers will once again build a dynasty.

But in all the commotion, the only one who seems out of place is Kobe.

When he saw O'Neal wiggling his butt and trying to show off a dance, Kobe couldn't help shouting: "We're still lagging behind."

His words instantly silenced the noisy locker room.

Standing nearby, watching the commotion and discussing with the assistant coach, Jackson was slightly startled, and immediately smoothed things over: "That's right, everyone, although we were ahead in the big score, we are still behind in this game, so even if we have to celebrate , and we will celebrate after we win the game.”

In fact, since the beginning of this season, Jackson has keenly noticed that there are some conflicts between Kobe and O'Neal.

Leading 2-0, no matter how you look at it, the Lakers have a greater chance of winning.

Just in case.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Jackson immediately noticed that the Suns changed defense on the perimeter.

"Do you want to limit passes to O'Neal?" A trace of doubt flashed in Jackson's mind.

But there is Kobe. Kobe averaged 5 assists per game last season and can also share some of the pressure of getting the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal grinned, showing his white teeth, and showed off his arm muscles to everyone, which caused a burst of laughter.

Jackson was still smiling, but there was a hint of worry deep in his eyes.

If Kidd's one-on-one defense is A-level, then his help defense awareness is S-level.

However, it was obviously Jackson who had higher emotional intelligence. He smiled and patted O'Neal on the back, saying: "Yes, they can't stop us. In the second half, we not only have to attack inside, but also outside, combining inside and outside. This is The secret to our ability to keep winning!”

Hardaway resumed guarding Kobe, while Kidd became entangled with Fisher.

"come!"

The intermission ended quickly.

Jackson spoke, and everyone restrained themselves slightly, but O'Neal curled his lips with some disdain: "It doesn't matter Phil, we are only 6 points behind. In the second half, we can catch up if we just play hard. The most important thing is, they can't stop me." .”

But Jackson knows very well that competition is competition. If the competition is too strong, it will become a real conflict.

But Jackson always felt that Kobe was too self-centered, his emotional intelligence was not high enough, and his relationship with his teammates was not so harmonious.

It can't be said to be a contradiction, it's more like two tigers cannot tolerate each other in one mountain. They are competing and competing. Especially Kobe, trying hard to prove himself and respond to the media's remarks that he held O'Neal's thigh to win the championship.

Jackson's heart skipped a beat.

But the thought was just a fleeting thought.

Kobe just nodded slightly.

After all, this is still a business alliance, involving huge interests.

Fortunately, the Lakers now have a bigger goal, which is to defend the championship and achieve three consecutive championships.

At this moment, Hardaway's voice suddenly came to his ears.

Jackson didn't make too many arrangements for the second half.

Now that the Suns have Kidd guard Fisher, they obviously want to limit Fisher's play and make the ball less comfortable for O'Neal.

In front of this big goal, all contradictions are hidden under the iceberg.

He glanced at Kobe from the corner of his eye, feeling filled with emotion and helplessness.

From Jackson's perspective, it's a good thing for the two cores in the team to compete with each other, especially Kobe, how fast he is growing now.

When the ball came into Kobe's hands, he stopped sideways, already searching for O'Neal's position out of the corner of his eye.

After all, the Lakers only have a few tactics, and they play like this with everyone. How else can they arrange it so that O'Neal can learn from Olajuwon and come out to pick and roll for Kobe?

If we don't win the championship this year, when the prosperity fades away, what will be left is nothing but chicken feathers.

Think more.

For example, why do I have to say this now?

But this method is something that almost any team facing the Lakers would do. It's just that the Suns have Kidd, so they may do better.

Being competitive is a good thing, and this is what Jackson has always valued about Kobe. Occasionally, with a sudden glance, you can see the shadow of that guy in Kobe.

Jackson saw all this and sighed silently. Although he looked down on O'Neal's laziness, he had to say that O'Neal was much smoother than Kobe. You see, he didn't say that he could recover the score by just playing casually. After using us, the gap in emotional intelligence is clear at a glance.

Kobe frowned slightly, said nothing, and turned away.

He has quick reactions, good physical coordination, a large defensive range, can always detect and fill in gaps, and can also complete steals at just the right time.

It is no exaggeration to say that he alone can support a team's perimeter defense.

Don’t others know whether they are lagging behind or not?

O'Neill patted his chest and gave a funny salute, promising to complete the task.

After a moment of hesitation, Kobe still lobbed the ball into the paint.

O'Neal took one step, squeezed Olajuwon away, and put the ball into the basket.

Kobe turned his head and glanced at Hardaway, wondering if he heard wrongly. Was it Hardaway who was talking just now?

The Suns attack.

The ball was delivered to Hardaway immediately.

Hardaway made a gesture, and everyone pulled away automatically.

To single out.

The fans in the stands became excited. Compared with the team winning, the vast majority of fans would rather see the stars' gorgeous one-on-one duels.

Hardaway looked directly at Kobe, his chin raised slightly.

Kobe had already understood that look.

He was sure that Hardaway had said what he just said. For a moment, there seemed to be a warm current rushing to the top of his head, making Kobe instantly excited.

The man in front of him was his childhood idol.

He saw the unparalleled Hardaway on TV and regarded him as his target. However, when he entered the league and gradually grew into the core of the Lakers and became a star, Hardaway fell like a meteor and was ruined. Due to injuries.

But this season, because of Chen Yu, Hardaway is back.

The media has said more than once that this season, Hardaway is back at the top!

In Kobe's view, Hardaway in front of him is the real penny.

If he defeated Hardaway, who was suffering from injuries and was brilliant, Kobe would not be excited at all, but would feel regretful.

But it would be an honor for me to have a PK with Hardaway, who is back at the top!

come!

Kobe's eyes became extremely sharp in an instant.

Hardaway noticed the change in Kobe's eyes and sighed silently in his heart. Skiles really gave himself a problem.

But this kid is quite easy to fall for.

Thinking randomly, Hardaway started. In an extremely fast time, his shoulders shook left and right, but his traveling speed did not decrease at all.

Hardaway, who has excellent flexibility, has always been good at using various small moves to confuse his opponents.

But after he returned from all his glory, this kind of operation was like an antelope hanging its horns, without any craftsmanship.

Even Kobe was shaken and missed the opportunity.

But he is young and has excellent defensive instincts that allow him to keep up with Hardaway's pace.

But Hardaway's action wasn't over yet. His advancing body suddenly stopped, pulled back, paused, and then started again. In an instant, he actually completed a change in rhythm.

Rao is Kobe's youngest defensive team, and it is difficult to keep up in time.

Hardaway, who passed by Kobe, pulled up and hit the ball steadily, then smiled at Kobe and nodded, turned around and ran away.

"Shet."

Kobe cursed secretly, gritted his teeth and rushed out.

I have to pay one back.

"ball!"

After settling into position, Kobe immediately reached for the ball.

Not surprisingly, Hardaway was already standing in front of him.

Kobe gestured for everyone to pull away. He wanted to fight one on one, and his eyes could no longer accommodate anyone else.

Hardaway looked serious.

Provoking Kobe, Kobe has obviously taken the bait.

But to do so, there must be a prerequisite, and that is to be able to guard Kobe.

If you can't guard Kobe and let him keep scoring in isolation, then this trick is useless.

Hardaway knows that in the eyes of the media, his defense is not very good, at most it is above the standard. But when he was young, he once defended Jordan to 23 of 7 shots.

He has defensive potential, after all, his height is there.

It’s just that after suffering serious injuries over the years, I feel powerless to defend myself.

But this year is different. Because of Chen Yu, he became healthy again. At least, when I want to defend, my body can keep up.

Near the three-point line, Hardaway took a step forward, lowered his waist slightly, and stared at Kobe intently.

Hardaway is no stranger to Kobe, and every team has a dedicated person who has been analyzing stars like Kobe through data.

For example, just now, Phil Webb reminded him to focus on preventing Kobe Bryant's breakthrough.

There are two reasons.

First, the goal is to let Kobe take action and not give O'Neal a chance to attack.

Secondly, it must be designed well, where Kobe can take action.

Through data analysis in the past two seasons, Kobe's frame-attacking shots accounted for about 25% of his shots, and his field goal percentage was as high as 65%. His short-range 2-pointers and mid-range 2-pointers had a field goal percentage of 46% respectively. and 45.

As for long-distance 2-pointers, the shooting percentage has dropped to 39.4%.

There are still 3 points left. This season, Kobe took 70 fewer three-pointers than last season, only 132, and then hit 33 of them, with a poor shooting percentage of only 25%.

It can be seen from the data alone that Kobe is still a defender who breaks through and attacks the frame. The farther away from the basket, the worse his shooting rate and the fewer shots he takes.

This is also the Kobe in Hardaway's impression. He starts quickly and doesn't have too many direction-changing skills. He relies on agility and excellent control of his body to forcefully break through the basket and score.

He is quite similar to Tracy McGrady, still relying on talent to play.

Although you can see Kobe practicing shooting, the media has also reported it. For example, in the past two seasons, Kobe has started practicing shooting like crazy.

But shooting is far from something you can just practice.

Therefore, Kobe's main scoring ability is still focused on attacking the frame.

Then we should take a step forward and not let him rush in, just let him shoot from the outside.

Kobe started.

Hardaway moved sideways to keep up almost like a shadow. With his rich experience and healthy knees, Hardaway could always block Kobe's advances in time.

And with his arms draped across his body, it would be so easy to break through if he wanted to completely throw away Hardaway, who was also agile.

Kobe pulled back, and he sensed that Hardaway's retreat was slow.

opportunity!

Stepping on the three-point line, Kobe jumped up and took the shot without hesitation.

With a clang, the basketball hit the frame and came out.

Kobe's face changed slightly.

Hardaway wanted to laugh, but his face was expressionless, and he even shook his head slightly.

Seeing this action, Kobe's eyes turned red.
