Chapter 131 The Perfect Christmas Night
"None of you can guard him? O'Neal can't guard, you can't even guard Kobe???" Danny Ainge roared loudly.
There are three point guards with different styles under him, but they are all very good point guards, but Kobe hangs up and beats the three of them together on the field!
How does this make the head coach accept?
Danny Ainge believes that the future of the league will be that the point guard is king, and good offensive initiators dominate the game. moral reasons.
But the top point guard under him, meeting Kobe is like a mouse meeting a cat, and he was caught by Kobe.
"Are you going to shame so many fans in the arena who support you? Are you going to make the media laugh at the audience watching this Christmas game in front of the TV?"
The players looked at each other, especially the three point guards.
Kidd looked displeased. He thought he did a good job of defending Kobe in the first half. A player of this level cannot lock up a game.
"Coach, I think there is a problem with your defensive arrangement. Why do you have to use point guards to defend Kobe? Other teams use forwards and guards, so that the height and size can match." Kidd bluntly questioned Danny Ainge's tactical arrangement.
Danny Angie blushed, what Kidd said was not unreasonable, but can the Lakers win the regular game? It is almost impossible to win by fighting hard, so there is only a risky move.
But as a head coach, he can say these things, and Kidd's questioning made him very embarrassed.
Fortunately, the referee saved him and blew the horn to continue the game.
"I don't want to guard against Kobe anymore. Change the shooting guard." Kidd played a big game. He obviously did a good job and was the best among the three point guards, but Danny Ainge still complained. , which made him a little angry.
Jason Kidd is a very self-aware player. He often quarreled with coach Jim Clemons when he was in the Mavericks, which is why the team gave up on him. You must know that Kidd shared the best rookie with Grant Hill in the first season. He was the No. 2 pick in 1994. This is his third season. He gave up a star who is only 23 years old and has infinite possibilities in the future Wei, if Kidd's self-awareness is not too strong, and he often acts as a coach on the court, this would not happen.
Danny Ainge has no choice but to let the team trade away Kidd, who has just spent a lot of money. This is a deal he voluntarily requested.
"Wesley Person! You replace Nash." Compromised, Danny Ainge couldn't help feeling how difficult it is to be a coach.
Kobe watched the sun secretly on the Lakers' bench, seeing Kidd and Angie arguing, he couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed.
Angie, old thief, no, he is still a thief now. You have today too.
Danny Ainge's role as the general manager of the Celtics is undoubtedly very successful. With him in exchange for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, the Celtics' Big Three won the championship for the team after many years. This achievement is undoubtedly great.
However, at the end of his career in the Big Three, he was very harsh on his team's stars such as Rondo, Isiah Thomas, etc., which made him have a bad reputation among players. The signings have also become less attractive.
No one wants to play for a guy who beats you when you're sick, when you're old.
Wesley Person? Kobe took a look at this player who defended himself very well in the preseason, but hasn't he been blown up by himself once in the regular season? The first Lakers game in his career was against the Suns, against Wesley Person.
In that game, Kobe scored 31 points.
To be honest, Kidd's defense has done a good job, and Wesley Person is not as good as Kidd. It seems that the quarrel on the Suns bench just now was the reason for this incident.
"Hi! Kobe, Merry Christmas!" Wesliperson greeted Kobe with a beaming face, as if this was not a game, but a greeting between neighbors.
"You don't think I'll be merciful to you, do you?" Kobe said helplessly, this was a game.
"Of course not! Hahahaha! Why would I think so?" Wesliperson wiped the sweat from his forehead. He really hoped that Kobe would be soft and not hard, and be merciful to him.
It's a pity that the old fritter Kobe has played professionally for 20 years. He has seen soft, hard, black and white. He will not change his game style because of the opponent's attitude.
My hands are hot!
It's the Lakers' turn to attack! O'Neal's main attack in the first quarter, the substitute's main attack in the second quarter, and Kobe's main attack in the third quarter. If there is still a need to play, OK to work together in the fourth quarter!
This has become a consensus that the team has not explained, and Harris thinks this distribution is very good. Save Shaq's physical energy while ensuring sufficient offensive aggression on the court. Kobe Bryant took over the game in the third quarter, allowing O'Neal to ensure sufficient physical fitness at the end of the game.
The Lakers have the ball, and Kobe continues to attack.
Pull beyond the three-point line and take a tentative step.
The standard three-threat is as standard as a textbook, and the realistic fake moves shake Wesliperson's center of gravity.
Kobe stepped forward and stopped the ball. Go inside again.
Wes Rippersen was stunned by Kobe's rhythm change, lost his defensive position and was scored by Kobe's throw in the penalty area.
This was just the beginning, and then Kobe and Horry handed over, attracting Ceballos' defense. Jump up and pass the ball again, assisting Horry to hit a three-pointer.
Change direction in front of the body and shake Wes Rippersen away. Going to the basket, Ceballos assisted in the defense, and the European step easily shook the basket and scored a layup.
Picked and rolled with O'Neal in a high position, singled out Manning, drew a foul, and made two free throws.
Wesliperson turned his attention to Danny Ainge on the sidelines, and he wanted to cry. Coach, I really tried my best, I really can't prevent it.
But Angie's vision on the sidelines was also a little distracted.
If you lose, you think you will lose. But I didn't expect to lose so badly.
Kobe scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the third quarter. Leading the team to 34:17 in a single quarter. Doubling killed the Suns, and his offensive score alone surpassed the Phoenix Suns' team score in the third quarter.
The familiar three quarters clocked in and got off work. The number of Lakers lost count of how many such easy games this season. This also allows the substitute players to have a lot of playing time in the fourth quarter to exercise themselves. The Lakers' bench playing time ranks first in the league.
At the end of the Christmas battle, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Phoenix Suns 117:81.
Kobe scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, making the national audience in front of the TV once again remember the name of this bald boy.
Courtside reporters interviewed Kobe after the game.
"Merry Christmas, Kobe. Congratulations on another great performance, please say something to the audience in front of the TV."
"Merry Christmas everyone~ Maybe many fans don't know me, I hope you can remember my name-Kobe Bryant." Kobe smiled at the camera with a signature.
