Reborn as Kobe

　　 It's the Celtics' turn to attack. Duncan and Walter McCarty screened their outside teammates on both sides. The Lakers defended by man-to-man to guard against the opponent's breakthrough and interfere with shooting nearby. Di Brown's jumper missed under Van Exel interference and the rebound was grabbed by Kobe.

　　 Kobe played at the 4th position today. The most terrifying thing about Kobe is his comprehensiveness. With his current height and bounce, he won't lose out on rebounds with ordinary inside players.

The reason why Kobe's rebounds are not as high as his assists is that he is unwilling to go to the basket. It is easy to get injured. Before the league's protection rules for outside players are perfect, Kobe will not have too many strong hits. The second is that the Lakers are not weak inside. With the pervert of O'Neal, and Campbell, who was a player, he doesn't need Kobe to fight for rebounds.

　　 Lakers positional battle, Kobe and Van Exel played a pick-and-roll, after receiving the ball to organize the ball in the middle, attracted Walker and Ron Mercer and then passed to Eddie Jones again.

　　 Jones faced the opposing Di Brown and flickered the ball, changed direction to the right, passed Di Brown in one step, and went to the basket.

　　 Eddie Jones has fallen sharply in the two seasons because of Kobe's appearance, but this does not conceal the nature of his All-Star points. Ordinary players can't stop him at all.

　　 Duncan withdrew from the middle to make up defense, Campbell got stuck and Eddie Jones dunked the ball with one hand. 4: 0.

The Celtics attacked. Di Brown broke through and was double-teamed by Van Exel and Eddie Jones. He scored the ball to Ron Mercel, who caught the ball from the free throw line and dribbled a step to the left. Antoine Walker made a mistake.

Kobe judged Ron Mercell's passing route in advance, bypassing Walker's successful steal, and directly sent a long pass to Van Exel. Van Exel quickly dribbled through the half and was blocked by Di Brown. The two sides fell into battle.

　　 Kobe came to the high post and gave Van Exel a pick-and-roll. Van Exel made an open shot. The basketball came out of the hoop. Duncan grabbed the rebound and gave it to Dibron.

　　 Di Brown broke through to the basket and was blocked by Kobe. At this time, he only had to pass Duncan or the perimeter Antoine Walker to make it easy to qualify.

　　 But Di Brown is just an ordinary point guard, completely at a loss when he is blocked by Kobe.

　　 Di Brown can only hand the ball to Ron Mercel who just ran out of position beside him. Ron Mercel's jumper was disturbed by Horry and missed.

　　 The Lakers attacked, Kobe caught the ball well in the middle, watched his teammates move, and the defender of Eddie Jones became Walker.

　　 Jones received a pass from Kobe and wanted to break through, but Walker's tonnage surpassed him too much and was unsuccessful. Jones took a step and passed it to Horry. Horry scored the ball to Kobe, who was on the left forty-five degrees and asked for the ball.

　　 Kobe took the ball without pause, broke through the middle and turned and gave the ball to the basket. Hollikon cut, turned his back to catch the ball and turned to the right to jump to the basket, and shook the ball with both hands.

　　 Walter McCarty is just a blue-collar coolie. He was tricked by this ball and blindly jumped to the block.

　　 Horry shook Walter McCarty, quickly broke through to the basket, and made a right-handed throw as he moved. Walter McCarty hit Horry's arm during the fall, but the ball still hit the board and the referee's whistle sounded. This foul was too obvious, 2+1.

　　 The Celtics home fans made a neat boo to interfere with the free throw. Horry has a very good psychological quality and is not moved at all, so he adds a free throw. 7:0.

　　 Celtics attacked, Walker attracted the defense and passed the ball to Duncan inside. Duncan singled Campbell and forced a turn around to throw the ball. 7:2.

　　 The Lakers attacked. Kobe once again went forward and played a pick-and-roll with Van Exel. Van Exel took the ball to the left and failed to get rid of Di Brown, and then passed the ball to Kobe.

　　 Kobe took the ball and turned, leaning on Antoine Walker's right hand to pass the ball to Horry, turning around and starting to break through to the basket.

　　 Horry made a fake shot and passed the ball beyond the three-point line on the right baseline after attracting the defense.

　　 Now the Lakers follow the ball and move the ball, and Princeton has become more proficient.

　　 Van Exel is empty, Dibron has been led away by Horry, and it is too late to defend. Van Exel glanced at the basket, grasped the rhythm of his shooting, and hit a three-pointer. 10:2.

　　 Larry Bird shook his head and said: "The Lakers are now taking Kobe as the axis and beating Princeton. There is no way to press the court. Pitino has to change his plan quickly."

Bede said: "The Lakers without O'Neal are still strong because they still have Kobe. Pitino said before the game that Kobe's roaming in five positions is a grandstanding behavior. He can easily restrain Kobe. It seems that he is talented. It's the grandstander."

Larry Bird looked down upon Pitino very much, commenting: "NCAA and NBA are totally two basketball worlds, and college basketball is not a concept at all with professional basketball. Unfortunately, Pitino has no idea at all. Kobe absolutely cannot. From common sense, his future must be greater than Jordan."

　　 The Celtics offense is still the same, Dibron organizes, and other players are scattered waiting for the pass.

　　 Antoine Walker ran off the ball and received a pass from Di Brown, and he drew a three-pointer against Kobe's defense. The ball went wide and he played too quickly.

In Kobe’s previous life, from entering the league to retiring, Antoine Walker’s offense has not stabilized. He is not self-disciplined. He is getting heavier and heavier. The more three-pointers he shoots, the lower his shooting percentage. The most impressive thing is the sophistry: Why do I like to shoot three-pointers, because the league does not have a four-point line.

　　 Campbell stuck Duncan, Kobe took a backcourt rebound, Antoine Walker wanted to break the ball, but Kobe easily shook it away.

　　 Walker was a bit impatient. After Duncan came, his position took a sharp turn. Although his teacher Pitino supported him, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Celtics had placed their hope of revival on Duncan.

　　 In fact, this is normal. The ultimate competition of any competitive sport is strength. Basketball is no exception. Don't look at this as a collective sport, but the strength of the players dominates. To put it bluntly, whoever is strong is the boss.

　　 Kobe dribbled the ball through halftime, Campbell stepped forward to pick and roll, Kobe dribbled the ball straight to the basket and double-teamed Duncan and Walker.

　　 Kobe passed back to Campbell in high position, and Campbell scored in the free throw line! 12:2.

　　 The Lakers played a wave of strong offenses, but Pitino directly stunned, neither was a timeout nor a change, because he was still thinking about how to crack the Lakers' Princeton.

　　 Pitino is definitely capable in terms of tactical literacy. The key is that he is too idealistic and doesn't know how to eat, so he is only suitable for coaching college teams with strong discipline.

Why doesn’t Coach K coach an NBA team? Because he knows that in addition to tactical knowledge, NBA coaches also need the ability to communicate with others. Besides, the salary of coaches from NCAA is not lower than that of NBA coaches. water.

　　 Throughout the history of the league, coaches who came from the NCAA to the NBA are rarely successful. Larry Brown is considered a success, but he has never happily broken up with any team.

Pitino has advantages and he is very accomplished in defense, but in terms of arranging offensive tactics, Pitino is undoubtedly an overrated coach. Coupled with his rigidity and mechanical use, he cannot adapt to the changing rhythm of the NBA. .

　　 Original Time and Space From 1997 to 2001, Pitino was in charge of the Celtics for nearly four seasons, with a total record of 102 wins and 146 losses. During this period, the team never made the playoffs. In the middle of the 2000-01 season, Pitino was forced to leave the Celtics and never appeared on the league stage.

Auerbach’s face was blue when watching the game. Larry Bird had previously asked to coach the Celtics, but he refused. This also caused Larry Bird to never return to the Celtics management in the future. Made his hometown team the Indiana Pacers.

　　 The game lasted almost five minutes. The Lakers led 16 to 5. Pitino finally recollected and began to request a timeout and rearrange defensive tactics.
