Kobe's amazing half-time performance was the key to the Lakers' defeat against the Trail Blazers.

The violent solo performance successfully wiped out the opponent's inside advantage, but it was only the first half.

60 to 46

A 14-point lead cannot decide the winner for the rest of the 24-minute period.

As long as the offense is slightly powered off for a few minutes, the opponent will be able to catch up.

Wei Xia, who only played for 9 minutes, had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and his assists were all taken from Kobe. If Kobe didn't have so many fancy offensive actions, he would have more assists.

"Bryant, you shot too many heroes!" The person who criticized No. 24 was not Phil Jackson, but offensive assistant Tex Winter. "You should be able to feel that our tactics have turned into a mess under your single fight!"

Winter's violent temper is famous. As early as the ok period, the old coach left a deep impression on the Lakers with his strong ability to withstand pressure. He is just like Kobe, and he was not afraid of anything. When he was in Chicago, he served as a "bad policeman" under Jackson. He was also the only person in the coaching staff who dared to challenge Jordan directly. Winter would occasionally correct Jordan's pass or other technical flaws on his chest.

One day in his first season as Zen master coached, he was sitting next to watch the Lakers' training. Winter suddenly jumped out and blocked O'Neal who was moving forward at full speed, trying to create a dribbling hit. Of course, this was not his purpose. He did that just because O'Neal showed off his dribbling and did not follow the tactics.

The reason why Wei Xia can still hear Winter's teachings is because the shark stopped and did not kill Winter. Since then, Winter has won his place. His story with the shark is a bit like Hannam tamed Chamberlain decades ago.

Because Chamberlain was disobedient, Hannam, the head coach of the San Francisco Warriors at the time, was so angry that he wanted to fight him one-on-one. Big Beidou naturally would not pk the head coach, but because Hannam was very kind, he chose to be obedient. But this relationship that was built on violent will not end well. That is Chamberlain. As the earliest coach killer in history, coaches who indirectly or directly get out of class can form a starting list.

Kobe heard Winter's accusation and asked humbly: "What should I do?"

"Go to the low post and instigate tactics like Michael!" said Old Winter.

Kobe had a very outstanding low post attack when he first entered the NBA, but O'Neal was occupying the penalty area at that time, leaving him without space to display his abilities.

When working with Jordan, Winter knew that even though Jordan was not an inside player himself, he was still the strongest low-post offensive weapon at that time. Kobe's low-post offense was very similar to Jordan in many aspects, but there was a fatal key problem.

"What if I can't catch the ball at the low post?" Kobe's real idea was that with his current feel, he could catch the ball from anywhere.

According to the Lakers coaching staff's observations for a season, they found that if Kobe cannot get into the paint area at one time, he will choose to turn around and attack from the paint area.

At the same time, the opponent will also select strong forwards to fight. At that time, it was difficult for Kobe to get to the position, but the same situation did not exist in Jordan. He had unique skills to help him stay in a stable position.

After careful analysis, Winter came to the conclusion: Perhaps it was Kobe's excessive dependence on three-pointers that led to his difficulty in the low post.

So, in the second half, Winter's instructions to Kobe were: "Try to give up the three-pointer and think about what you should do if you can score through low-post offense. If you only have one way left, you have to grit your teeth and try it even if you can't."

Wei Xia listened from the side, and Winter wanted Kobe to play more teamwork, which was right.

If you say something wrong, you just don’t pick the right time.

Today, Kobe can score as much as he wants without his defense, and the first half proved this, and the second half was the same.

Wei Xia still misread Kobe.

It feels good, but Kobe also hopes to improve in the wrong places he does.

Low post attack is what he is not doing well.

In the first attack in the second half, the Trail Blazers let the two-meter-long striker Swinging Man Tel Webster face him.

Kobe decisively turned over and made a jump shot, full of confidence, but under the pressure of high intensity, his jump shot lost his accuracy.

Bang!

Wei Xia unexpectedly retreated from defense, and he didn't expect Kobe to listen to Winter so much.

Many people, including him, regard Kobe as an arbitrary ball player. Over the years, Kobe has performed well on the offensive end, but because his teammates always allow him to play his competitive nature and take over the game, he often becomes a part of the team's offensive system that keeps passing stagnant.

However, during the 8 seasons with Kobe, Winter always felt that Kobe was a good student who was willing to listen, but in some places he never changed.

"He has his own way. I know he keeps what I say in his mind, but he always subconsciously feels that he is playing in that fixed way, which does not include some basic good defensive habits." Winter said to the people around him.

The Lakers, who took the lead, let Kobe attack. Wei Xia, who made the game again, did not think that if he continued like this, his average score would drop to less than 20 points, and he would do every link on the defensive end with all his heart.

The Trail Blazers, who regard the inside as the center of gravity, decided to disperse some of the ball.

Kobe woke them up in the first half.

It's not just that the Lakers have an extraordinary swingman, they have it too.

Brandon Roy got the opportunity to challenge Kobe. In terms of physical fitness, he was much worse than those of Jordan's successors, but he had a mature consciousness and a full set of offensive skills. There was no difference between left and right hands, and the organizational ability that should not appear on him.

He is such a rich and diverse individual, and he deserves infinite possibilities.

When playing against Kobe, he used the method of shaking his right hand and throwing his left hand, and hitting the board.

48 to 60

Kobe played low again, this time, it became.

62 to 48

Winter's analysis of him is good. His overly comprehensive offensive ability, especially the ability to ride a face defender on the outside at any time, makes him not very devoted to low-post offense.

He and Michael Jordan were in completely different times.

Similarly, it is precisely because Kobe's heavy shooting in mid- and long distances that his efficiency has declined. Long-range shots are a double-edged sword. In the future, Harden averages 12 three-point shots per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.5%, and at the craziest time, he averages 40 points per game. His shooting percentage is also low, but his real shooting percentage can beat Kobe over because it is well known.

Roy's challenge attracted Kobe's attention.

He used all his strength to defend the mature up-and-comer, successfully making his jump shot missed.

But the Trail Blazers' advantage in the penalty area always exists. Aldridge hit the rebound and Randolph picked it up for free and scored a second offensive.

50 to 62

"Look, we have some people who can score points!" Jack, who was like Wei Xia, said loudly.

Wei Xia said hypocritically: "Congratulations."

"I'm different from you. You only have Kobe, and I have Brandon and Zach!" He looked very proud.

What he didn't know was that people who hugged their legs to survive were likely to drown themselves, because sometimes, they would be swaying and not know who to give the ball to.

That trance wasted not only a few seconds, but also their feel.

Kobe continued to walk towards the low post, and his nearby teammates were no longer hoping to get in touch and disperse.

"He wants to pass the ball to Kobe again!" Jack shouted, "Don't let him succeed!"

Then the Trail Blazers gave Kobe a round-route defense.

"Now there is no one to rely on you!" Jack said with a slutty smile as if he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

Wei Xia found that if he didn't score, Jarrett Jack would probably tell people everywhere after playing this game that he was a waste who could only hold Kobe's thighs... Although this evaluation is not a big problem in this game, he at least had an output of 20 points per game. The Lakers who lost him suffered a six-game losing streak. How can he say that he can only hold Kobe's thighs?

Wei Xia smiled and took a step past Jack.

His speed was so fast that Jack's scalp was numb. When he realized that his teammates gathered at the basket to make up for his mistakes, but dropped Kobe on the side.

Irresible mistakes are made!

Wei Xia passed the ball lightly to Kobe.

Kobe shot in place and made a jump shot like a practice-like shot from the board with a 45-degree angle.

"Good ball! So fucking beautiful!" Odom praised Kobe loudly.

Seeing them shamelessly cheering Kobe, Jack was upset: "You hopeless dogs will pay the price sooner or later!"
