Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 58: Whirlwind

????On October 31st, the Lakers season officially kicked off. The league deliberately arranged for the Lakers and Jazz, the "enemies" to open the opening match, in order to increase the attention of the game.

???? Old Nelson walked into the locker room, everyone looked at the old coach, because tonight's opponent in the first game is the Jazz, the old Lakers players who aspired to the championship last season still remember being eliminated in the Western Conference Finals The pain, the most important thing is that they are not convinced at all when they lose to the Jazz.

???? The Lakers are now in their best form after the offseason adjustments.

???? Old Nelson laughed: "Are you nervous? The atmosphere is too serious. You shouldn't be nervous about tonight's game, right? To be bragging, if I were the head coach of this Jazz, I would have I got the O'Brien trophy. In my opinion, Sloan, who is not flexible, is the biggest shortcoming of this team. Now Malone and them are old, this team is also setting the sun. What are you afraid of. This Not winning a championship this season is a failure."

???? The two teaching assistants were sweating coldly, and they kept complaining that the old Nelson should not be called a mad scientist, but a mad speaker.

???? Old Nelson slapped his hands and said loudly: "This season has started, now I want to emphasize two points with you."

???? The Lakers players look serious, like soldiers ready to go to the battlefield immediately.

???? "First, the current leader of the team is Shaquille. Today, because of his toe injury, he can't play, so you have to grab his data. Because in my opinion, you are the best in the league. The Lakers are the most invincible army in the league."

???? All the people were very angry, applauded vigorously, and Van Exel shouted in excitement.

???? Old Nelson continued: "Second, I don't need you to focus on defense. From ancient times to the present, that war was not won by offense. So our tactics are offense, offense, offense!"

???? Everyone laughed. Everyone knows the root cause of last season's loss. Coupled with offense, everyone can get a good number. The Lakers are full of yearning for this season.

????Because O'Neal is not there, the old Nelson signaled Kobe to mobilize before the war. Kobe did not decline and encouraged him to say: "It is said that revenge is not overnight. We met the Jazz in the first game. This is God's reward for us. As long as you run in place, my passing will definitely keep up. Everyone knows that I have this ability. Now we don’t know anything else, we will attack, even if we die, we will fall on the way to attack. There is an old saying in China that meets on a narrow road and the brave wins. We all carry a head on our shoulders. What is worse than Jordan and Ma Long , The worst is courage. As long as everyone has the courage to eat meat and drink blood like wolves, money and women will not be lacking. Now let us kick Jazz in the ass."

???? "For money and women! Sure to win!"

???? Kobe takes the lead, everyone's hands are put together.

????"in order to......

Money and women! Win! "

???? Everyone shouted and walked out of the home team's locker room.

???? The two assistant coaches stared at the players going away dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

???? Old Nelson patted the two on the shoulders, "Don't expect these players to fight for the illusory honor. Kobe understands them well. Ninety-nine percent of the players in the league play for life and enjoyment. ,do you understand?"

???? "Will this excite them too much?" an assistant coach asked suspiciously.

???? "This is our coach's job." Old Nelson walked out of the locker room calmly, leaving only the two assistant coaches looking at each other.

???? During the warm-up, the Lakers players were very confident, and Kobe's pre-game mobilization had a good effect.

???? The game is about to begin. Old Nelson once again emphasized with the tactical board: "Try to speed up the attacking rhythm, increase the number of rounds, make a resolute breakthrough in heads-up, and throw if you have a chance."

???? Veterans like Horry and Joan Barry, who roamed many teams, listened to the coach's most emphasis on "control the rhythm, the defense must be tight", the old Nelson emphasized "to complete an attack in seven seconds."

???? Horry, Joan Barry and others only then understood, no wonder the old Nelson will become a heresy in the 1980s and 1990s.

???? Running and bombing, this tactic that Qian Chenghai invented based on the characteristics of China's players, did not become popular in China, but was carried forward by Nelson and D'Antoni in the NBA. It's just that no team has done this yet, because this era is the fourth in the league. The era of rampant big centers.

???? The whistle sounded and the game officially started.

The visiting Jazz starters: Karl Malone, Howard Eisley, Jeff Hornacek, Brian Russell, Greg Ostertag.

???? Stockton missed the first game of the season with the Lakers due to injury.

???? Home team Lakers starting: Kobe, Eddie Jones, Horry, Van Exel, Rick Fox.

????Because of O'Neal's absence, the elder Nelson simply made Kobe a cameo as a center, which to some extent can be considered a return to the old business.

???? Kobe's height of two meters and three, excellent wingspan, coupled with excellent jumping, the jump ball easily defeated the slow-moving big white bear, Kobe quickly passed the ball to Van Exel, the latter first If it's low, then burst into the inside.

???? Howard Eisley followed Van Exel's interference, Van Exel missed a mid-range shot, Malone grabbed a rebound to Howard Eisley, the 1.8-eight-eight-foot-eight Asley After half the dribble began to fall into position.

???? The Jazz's Malone and Russell both pulled out of the penalty zone, leaving Ostertag sitting at the basket. Kobe defensively defended Ostertag, Hornacek received a pass from Malone and made a strong three-pointer in the face of Eddie Jones. The ball came out of the basket after interference. The rebound was grabbed by Horry. Biography Kobe launched a fast break.

???? Kobe brought the ball to...

In the frontcourt, without waiting for the players of both sides to be seated, a long jumper from beyond the three-point line made a precise hit. 0:3.

???? Kobe's current three-pointer level may still have some gaps from the peak of Stephen Curry in later generations~www.readwn.com~ but it is no longer inferior to the gentleman sword Ray Allen.

???? Old Nelson stood up on the sidelines to take the lead and applaud. This is the Lakers game he wants to see.

???? The Jazz attacked, Asley passed the ball to Malone and singled out Horry.

???? Malone is a well-known physical superman in the league, Horry can't prevent him at the fourth position.

???? Malone leaned against Horry in a low position on the left, turned around to the bottom line and jumped up, hitting cricket in the middle distance. 2:3.

???? Lacking the deterrence of O'Neal's basket, the Lakers' defense has obviously dropped by a notch. This is the role of the super inside.

???? The Lakers battle, the players opened up, Kobe took the ball in the middle, Russell put up a high post to defend.

???? Kobe dribbled the ball with his right hand and raised **** on his left hand. Rick Fox immediately pulled out and gave Kobe a pick-and-roll screen. Kobe moved the ball and got rid of Russell. The first step was very fast and he made a breakthrough on the right with a change of direction. Malone, facing Ostertag, made a shot, attracted the attention of the Jazz players and quickly threw the ball to the right bottom corner.

???? Horry, who has been waiting for a long time, catches the ball and jumps up, throws the ball in midair, and the basketball goes into the frame with a "swipe" sound. 2:6.

???? TNT TV commentator Link cried: "It's another three-pointer. The Lakers ran the ball too fast today. It feels like they're fighting for time."

The guest magician said: "The Lakers played very beautifully, and these offenses were also very determined. Although O'Neal missed due to injury, not only did he not be disadvantaged under Kobe's leadership, but he also appeared very strong."

???? Link laughed: "The Jazz is in trouble today. If Kobe can't limit this point, the next game will be very passive."
