Chapter 608 [Not Selfish, IQ Is Worrying]

In the third game, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Nuggets 103 to 101.

The Nuggets have become stronger. Billups performed quite well with 13 points and 6 assists. Hamilton had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Nene made 8 of 12 shots, 2 of 2 point shots, and scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

If Anthony's efficiency hadn't been greatly reduced by Iguoda, the Nuggets would have won this game. "Melo" made 5 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 0 of 4 free throws. He only had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. His performance was not as good as backup point guard Anthony Carter, who scored 15 points.

The strength of the Nuggets is not the point. The point is that Kobe was stunned. He held the ball in singles again and again, even if he didn't feel good about shooting. After 8 consecutive irons, Lou Williams led the half court at Yang Rui's request and stopped passing the ball to Kobe. Kobe didn't give up, reached out for the ball and gave Lou Williams the "death glare". Wei won't play in the second half.

Yang Rui discovered that Kobe had a strong desire to score, as if he had returned to the 2004-05 season. At that time, he had no problem challenging Yang Rui in a one-on-one game, because the Lakers had just been rebuilt, had many new players, and lacked tacit cooperation. They mainly relied on the triangle offense and star players playing in isolation.

It's not okay for Kobe to play like this now. It might cause internal strife in the team.

As the core of the inside, Yao Ming must average more than 12 shots per game no matter how selfless he is. For example, Garnett took 13.9 shots, which has been called a huge sacrifice by the media.

Iguodala is the third leader of the Lakers, and Odom is the team's sixth man. It is also necessary for both of them to average about 10 shots per game.

Kobe wants to compete for the scoring title. Now he takes more than 20 shots per game. The four of them combined will have the right to take more than 50 shots.

No matter how fast the Lakers switch between offense and defense, it is difficult for the players to take more than 90 shots in a game. So the question is, after excluding the core four, how do the 10 role players distribute the remaining less than 40 shot opportunities?

Millsap and Lou Williams both produced good numbers last season. They have already reached the top. How could they willingly go back? How is it possible to give up the ball and be a pure blue-collar player? Anyone with a bit of ambition can't stand it!

Brooks and Landry, who are on the rise, are strong offensive and defensive players. They can only perform well if they have the right to take action. If they don't, they are useless and cannot be blue-collar players at all.

The job of Gibson, Jones, and Posey is to open up and shoot three-pointers. The number of shots cannot be reduced. Without enough three-point firepower, it is impossible to win the championship. Just like the Jazz make few three-pointers, no matter how tough they are, it's all in vain.

There is still a newcomer in the team, DJ White, who has accurate mid-range shots and needs to be developed. Without the ball rights, will he be developed into a human shield like Hayes?

Yang Rui talked to Kobe after playing against the Nuggets, hoping that he would reduce his shots to about 15-17, so as to ensure smooth cooperation among the entire team.

If Kobe continues to do this, let alone his emotional intelligence, even his IQ will be almost gone.

After communicating, Kobe nodded, and then he decided how to play in the next game, just get the ball.

Kobe actually knew very well that his teammates were very strong, and the right thing to do was to give up power appropriately to help young people grow and become more efficient. He knew that it didn't mean he was willing to do it, let alone that he could do it, because he was Kobe, not Duncan.

A selfish person will not give up his own interests and consider others wholeheartedly.

In the past, Kobe could be coached because he had no honors, no championships, no confidence, and nothing but negative news. He needed Yang Rui, his teammates, and success.

What Kobe wants most now is data and a perfect victory. The perfection in his mind is for him to be the only protagonist on the court and lead the team to victory.

Therefore, no matter what tactics Yang Rui arranges for Kobe, as long as he is on the court, he will take more shots, focus on one-on-ones, pull-up jumpers, breakthrough pull-bars, low post plays, beautiful postures, develop what he has learned in his life, and regard his teammates as nothing.

After that, the Clippers and Rockets were both underdogs, but the Lakers had a difficult time winning, with the point difference being only single digits.

In Game 6, the Lakers faced the Mavericks away from home, Kobe shot 13 of 34 from the field.

He made 2 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, leading the team to a 95-118 defeat.

Kobe became a blacksmith under the Mavericks' zone defense, and was criticized by many media after the game. His touch was poor, but he didn't break through very much. He kept shooting, and the pass button was broken...

The Mavericks are much better than Yang Rui in his previous life. They have Gasol, Nowitzki, and Brandon Bass on the inside; Josh Howard, Stackhouse, Jason Terry, Kidd, barria.

Unknowingly, the Mavericks formed a strong championship lineup.

This summer, the management still traded Kidd. Due to the poor performance of the Nets for several consecutive years, Kidd was cheaper than Yang Rui in his previous life, and a group of role players were settled.

The Mavericks sent Rafe Alston, Maurice Agger, Eric Dampier, Kosta Koufos, Stackhouse, next season's first-round pick and $3 million in cash to the Nets. In exchange for Kidd, Malik Allen and Antoine White.

Among them, Malik has been waived by executing the team option, and the other two can play a role this season.

Terry has strong offensive power and suffers defensively, so he is not suitable for starting. So the Mavericks want to find an experienced point guard who can pass and defend to sit in, so that the starting lineup can better distribute the ball. Terry, Dirk Nowitzki and Howard were playing together, so they couldn't fire at full strength.

With Kidd here, Terry can become the Mavericks' sixth man, coming out in the second quarter to lead the team in scoring.

The most frightening thing is that Gasol joined the Mavericks. He has excellent immediate combat ability. He can coordinate and shoot well. Partnering with Nowitzki, he can clear the basket very well. On the defensive end, he can also assume the role of defending the penalty area, and his strength is far better than Dampier.

On the 12th, the Lakers played back-to-back games against the Hornets, losing 102-106 and suffering a losing streak.

Kobe played extremely selflessly, making 5 of 10 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals.

After this game, everyone felt that something was wrong with the Lakers.

What is the highest level of paranoia? Kobe used his actions to let people see what it means to "seem to be unselfish, but actually still selfish."

Kobe has done this before, first blindly forcing the attack, taking more than 30 shots in a game, and his shooting rate is very low. Seeing that people were criticizing him, he switched to a targeted approach with almost no shots, forcing himself to pass the ball, as if to say to people, "Did you see me passing the ball?"

If the team loses at this time, Kobe may still feel complacent.

So, you can’t do it without me, right?

In Yang Rui's previous life, the most famous time Kobe did this was in Game 7 of the first round of the 2006 playoffs against the Suns. He did not focus on the offense for the entire second half. He took three shots and only scored two points, giving up the game early.

Barkley angrily scolded Kobe during the commentary, and was even scolded by Comey after the game.

Comey believes that Kobe did this because he was angry and angry after being criticized by Phil Jackson on the team. My teammates still accuse me of being so bad, let others figure it out for themselves!

Comey's theory is that this only shows that Kobe is immature, and Barkley said that giving up the game is a sign of worrying IQ.

When Kobe's style of play goes from one extreme to another, who's IQ is worrying?

Do the media, coaches, and fans have to form a group with loudspeakers and shout at Kobe: "Kobe, when we accuse you of overshooting, it's not that we want you to stop shooting at all." Only at the age of 30 can he mature. ?

Seeing that Kobe repeatedly turned a deaf ear to his words, Yang Rui, who originally wanted to play a role in the regular season, became angry.

When Yang Rui gets angry, the consequences will be serious.
