Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 74: Sloan's change

   Fisher, in the eyes of future fans, is a scumbag of character. Using the excuse of treating her daughter to molest the Jazz, he slandered the splitting of the three Thunder, deceived the Knicks, the green teammates, in short, full of slots, low personality. But don't forget that, apart from these, Yuan Shikong also killed the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and once served as the chairman of the Players Union, which means that he has a shameless heart and a relatively good player.

   The reason why Kobe gave Fisher the final chance to kill, in addition to the above reasons, and Fisher is facing Nash, the weakest defensive point of the Rockets.

   At the press conference after the game, the reporters really didn't know who should ask questions first in this game. There are too many things to ask for wise coaches or brave players.

   "Mr. Don Nelson, do you have anything to say about this rocket?" the Houston Chronicle reporter asked.

The old Nelson praised sincerely: "The Rockets now have the strength to compete for the championship. If you give the Rockets players one or two seasons, they will be unstoppable. And the two young coaches of the Rockets, I am really very Appreciate them."

   A reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked: "Mr. D'Antoni and Mr. Tom Thibodeau, who are you the chief assistant of the Rockets?"

"In fact, when we learned that Mr. Rudy Tomjanovich was admitted to the hospital, the two of us were extremely frightened. Later, Mr. Dawson came to us and hoped that we would coach the Rockets together and give us the gift as soon as possible. I was on a five-year high-paying contract at the head coach level. Later, I discussed it. During Rudy Tomjanovic’s absence, I was in charge of offense and Tom was in charge of defense." D'Antoni replied .

   Tom Thibodeau nodded and said so.

   The Houston Daily reporter asked: "Mr. Don Nelson, why did you arrange Fisher for the last shot."

Old Nelson thought for a while and replied with a smile: "You are all surprised, and the opponent will be even more surprised. You must know that the Rockets' defense is not weak. I must find the best breakthrough point, so I chose Fisher. He completed the task."

  New York Times reporter asked: "Bryant, you have played against McGrady many times in this game. How do you evaluate this opponent?"

"If I choose the strongest offensive player in the league after Jordan, I would choose Tracy McGrady and Iverson, because the two of them are really not limited by defense. Maybe next season, the league’s scoring leader will be Choose between them." Kobe began to praise McGrady loudly. In addition to McGrady is really strong, he also wants to sell McGrady for a good price in the future.

   Although Kobe was a wheat in his previous life, in order to pave the way for Dayao, he must trade McGrady away at the right time.

   Strictly speaking, the cooperation between Yuantime and Space McGrady and Dayao is not tacit, and their styles do not match, which means that the so-called "Yaomai combination" is far inferior to the original space-time contradictory "OK" combination.

   Yao is the cornerstone of Kobe Bryant turning the Rockets into an international team, so he allowed Dawson to accumulate a lot of draft picks in 2002.

   On November 16, the Lakers returned to the home court and defeated the visiting Grizzlies in just three quarters. The final score of the game was 90:121, and the Lakers won by 31 points.

   The Lakers scored the highest score in this game, O'Neal, with 37 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks. He played extremely coquettishly and completely vented the depression that was called the Rockets limit in the last game. Kobe scored only 18 points and 16 assists in this game. He then gave way to O'Neal. A team can only have one superman. Kobe thinks it would be good to help O'Neal win a few MVPs. After all, there is no O'Neal in recent years. The Lakers think Winning the championship is really slim.

The Lakers scored in double figures. Eddie Jones had 28 points, Van Exel had 26 points, Campbell had 11 points, and Rick Fox had 14 points. It can also be seen from this that they were defeated in the last game against the Rockets. The suppressed players all broke out this game.

   For the Grizzlies, the highest scorer was Sharif Abdul Rahim, who had 25 points and 7 rebounds. The rest of the players did not score more than 20. Counting Raheem, the Grizzlies only scored three in double figures.

   On November 18th, the Lakers flew to Utah, where they will face the Jazz on the road for the second time this season.

   At the beginning, the old Nelson adjusted the lineup, let Campbell and O'Neal start together, Kobe came to the third position.

   The Jazz started well, relying on the ability to withdraw from the inside. Hornacek broke through from the outside and basically couldn't hit the basket. Malone withdrew to the free throw line to make a shot. Campbell was a little hard to fight.

   The Lakers played very anxiously against the Jazz in the first quarter, two points behind 24 to 26.

The Jazz inside is a combination of Malone and Greg Foster. Both of them are flexible insiders. Although they can't stop O'Neal, they have certain cross-hairs for mid-range shots. In addition, the two players feel more comfortable in this game. Hot, the Lakers are difficult to defend.

   O'Neal and Campbell both focused on attacking the basket in this game. The Jazz's Malone and Greg Foster couldn't help it either. In short, the first quarter is an insider competition of two different play styles.

   Jazz Stockton was still injured in this game, and Ostertag was also on the injury list. The absence of the two forced Sloan to try new tactics, otherwise the game would not be able to play.

   In the second quarter, Kobe served as the organization forward. Joan Barry, Horry, and Van Exel opened up the outside line and prepared to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer. Campbell was responsible for side screens, and then cut off to grab an offensive rebound.

   There is no center screen, Kobe can choose to play directly, because his opponent is Adam Kiefe, who moves very slowly and can't keep up with Kobe at all.

   When Adam Kiefe defended too close, Kobe could pass him by a change of direction. If the defending distance is too far~www.readwn.com~, Kobe will shoot a three-pointer directly, which is even worse. The other Jazz players assisted in defense, Kobe took advantage of the pass to the outside, Horry, Joan Barry, and Van Exel made three-pointers resolutely.

   The Jazz were beaten by a 12-0 run, and coach Sloan was forced to request a timeout.

   Malone played again before taking a few minutes off. Adam Kiefe was also replaced by Brian Russell.

After   , the Jazz began to play fast under Howard Eisley's guidance. Although it is very mechanical, it can be seen that Sloan is forcing himself to make some changes.

   In the third quarter, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe played singles in turn, exploding the Jazz inside and outside.

   The combination of the inside and outside of the two is the strongest in the league, and Kobe's ball-handling rhythm has become perfect day by day, the Jazz's incomplete lineup simply can't stand it. The Jazz has fallen behind by 23 points after three quarters, and the trend is over.

   In the fourth quarter, the Lakers put on all the benches, and under Fisher's organization, the Jazz Hornacek started running and shooting three-pointers, and the two teams played against each other until the end of the game.

   118 to 96, the Lakers easily defeated the Jazz.

   Kobe and O'Neal did not last long in this game. O'Neal had 26 points and 14 rebounds, Kobe had 20 points and 12 assists. The Lakers' highest scorer was Van Exel, who made eight three-pointers and scored 31 points.

   For the Jazz, Malone had 24 points and 16 rebounds. Jeff Hornacek made 7 of 11 three-pointers and scored 29 points and 6 assists.

   What surprised Kobe in this game was that Jerry Sloan, who was clinging to the pick-and-roll, started to try three-pointers and fast break tactics.

   In fact, all of this is the butterfly effect caused by Kobe. The changes in the Lakers forced Sloan to reform the Jazz's play, otherwise Malone and others will not have the chance to get involved in the championship until they die.
