Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 67: Coach's old club

   On November 9th, the Lakers, who took a day off, ushered in a challenge from the Golden State Warriors at home.

   Speaking of the Warriors, I have to mention the Lakers' current head coach Sr Nelson, because Sr. Nelson has coached the Warriors for a long time before. It can be said that during the Warriors period is one of the most important periods of the old Nelson's coaching career.

From the 1988-89 season, Don Nelson began to serve as the vice president and head coach of the Golden State Warriors. In contrast to the defensive style he emphasized in the Bucks before, he introduced his later characteristic run and gun into the team. In the game, it was once dubbed the "Golden State Track and Field Team." The core figures in the team lineup are Mitch Richmond, Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin, collectively referred to as "RunTMC" by fans.

   In the 1991-92 season, Don Nelson traded Richmond to the Kings due to a lack of ball-possession forward candidates. This season, Don Nelson invited the Spurs assistant Gregg Popovich as an assistant coach, leading the Warriors to a record of 55 wins and 27 losses. Don Nelson won the best coach of the NBA in 1992, but the team lost 1:3 in the first round of the playoffs to the Seattle SuperSonics (the predecessor of the Oklahoma City Thunder) and was eliminated.

   In the 1992 NBA Draft, Don Nelson selected Ratril Sprewell. In the 1992-93 season, the Warriors scored 34 wins and 48 losses in the regular season and failed to enter the playoffs.

   In the 1993 NBA Draft, Don Nelson selected Anfenni Hardaway, and then completed an exchange deal with the Magic, which picked up the top pick Chris Webb. In the 1993-94 season, Webber was named the best rookie. Don Nelson led the Warriors into the playoffs with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses. This was the last time the Warriors entered the playoffs before the millennium. In the first round of the playoffs, the Warriors were swept out by the Suns 0:3.

   In the 1994-95 season, the relationship between Don Nelson and Weber deteriorated. Don Nelson insisted on obscuring his position and wanted Weber to play multiple positions. As a result, Weber forced the Warriors to send himself to the Washington Bullets (the predecessor of the Washington Wizards), and Don Nelson also had a poor record (14 wins). 31) and was fired by the team.

   In the 1995-96 season, Don Nelson joined the New York Knicks to replace Pat Riley, who was away from Miami, as the team's head coach. Despite his 34 wins and 25 losses this season, Don Nelson tried to exchange Knicks' main center Patrick Ewing for Shaquille O’Neal, who was still a fledgling player at the time, and his relationship with the players deteriorated in 1996. Leaving midway in March.

It is not difficult to see from these that the old Nelson has a good vision in terms of drafting and trading, and he also has his own unique understanding of the team’s future plans. This is why Jerry West does not want old Nelson to come to the Lakers. The reason for teaching.

Before the game started, Latril Sprewell and others took the initiative to embrace the mentor, which also made the Warriors coach PJ Callesimo look very ugly. No wonder the madman will almost choke him to death in the future. It's been a long time since I looked down on each other.

TNT TV was responsible for the live broadcast of the game. The commentator Link was surprised: "Old Nelson's starting power forward was actually Rick Fox. Eddie Jones was moved to the second position, and Kobe was actually in the third position. Robert Howe Li is on the sidelines, this lineup is too sudden."

  Magician analysis: "Old Nelson knows this warrior very well. I guess he has his own opinion, although we don't know it."

   The game began, and the visiting team Warriors started: Bimbo Coles, Latril Sprewell, Tangyell Marshall, Joe Smith, Eric Dampier.

   Home team Lakers starters: Kobe, O'Neal, Eddie Jones, Van Exel, Rick Fox.

   O'Neal defeated Dampier, who would later claim to be the second center in the Western Conference, with explosive jump ball. Van Exel dribbled the ball through halftime and passed it to Kobe. The Lakers moved away.

   O'Neal pick-and-roll in the middle, Kobe took the ball to get out of the right, Joe Smith changed defense, Kobe crossed back to O'Neal, O'Neal hit Dampier and dunked successfully, 0:2.

  Dampier is far from O'Neill in terms of weight, strength, flexibility, etc., and single defense is basically a maniac block.

   The Lakers quickly returned to defense, Kobe followed Sprewell, and the Lakers started man-to-man.

   Staples fans were all excited, O'Neal's aggressive dunk in the opening was really morale boosting, and Dampier was fooled like a monkey.

Seeing that Kobe is defending himself, Sprewell very much wants to show his strength to his former teacher. Although he was horribly cleaned up by Kobe in several confrontations last season, many black players are like this. hit. Sprewell leaned against Kobe in the right horn to ask for the ball, and Coles passed the ball over the three-point line.

   Sprewell leaned against Kobe with the ball, quickly turned around and shot a jumper. Kobe made an accurate judgment, followed up and closed his eyes, and the ball missed the basket.

   O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed it to Van Exel, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt. At the top of the arc, Coles made a 3-pointer and missed the basket.

   Kobe went straight to the basket, caught up with Sprewell and took the offensive rebound, turned and hit the hook, 0:4.

   Sprewell is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 86 kilograms. Kobe is now 2.04 meters tall and weighs 96 kilograms. He is physically fit, Mr. Madman.

The Warriors attacked, and Coles passed the ball to Sprewell again. He turned to jumper again by relying on Kobe, and the shot missed again under interference. The rebound was grabbed by O'Neal~www.readwn.com~The Lakers counterattacked and Kobe took it. O'Neal made a long pass, rushed to the inside quickly, took two steps and wanted to dunk, but Sprewell was pulled from behind. This action is very dangerous. Fortunately, Kobe is very flexible and has no injuries.

   The referee gave Sprewell a serious verbal warning, and Kobe made two free throws, 0:6.

   Warriors attack, Coles saw Sprewell ask for the ball, this time he did not pass, but hanged to Joe Smith inside. Joe Smith turned around in the middle and leaned on Rick Fox's hook to hit 2:6.

Joe Smith was the No. 1 pick in 1995. He is very talented. He played 82 regular season games during his rookie season, averaging 15.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Not surprisingly, he would have more than 20 points in 19 games this season. , With more than 30 points in two games, averaging 17.3 points and 7 rebounds per game, making him a hot superstar in the NBA. Then this guy will be dizzy after this season, test the free market, and then sign the league's famous Yin and Yang contract with the Timberwolves, harming others and himself, and then completely sinking.

   This season is the most brilliant period for this champion, and most people can't help him.

   Kobe dribbled the ball to the front court, handed the ball to Van Exel and ran to the high post. Van Exel passed the ball to Kobe again. Kobe faced Marshall’s home and broke through. He attracted Joe Smith to double-up and threw the ball to the basket. O’Neal squeezed Dampier and jumped high and directly smashed the ball into the basket. Basket. 2:8.

   This aerial relay is really beautiful. Kobe's pass timing and O'Neal's take-off time are very coordinated, as if the two have cooperated thousands of times.

   P-J-Callesimo was forced to call a timeout amidst the cheers at the scene, and the game would be beaten if it continued like this.
