Chapter 112 The best solution to defend Kobe?keep him out
The timeout of the Lakers has been exhausted. If Phil Jackson wants to replace Kobe, then now is the best time, but Phil Jackson doesn't seem to have seen Kobe's foul just now, even though the Lakers' assistant coach is already on the sidelines Loud reminder, Phil Jackson still chose not to make a move and let the game move on.
Believing in the superstars in his hands is the most important part of his coaching philosophy: believe in the superstars, and they will bring you the best solution for the game!
Although Tai Lun, the later generations, has not worked with the Zen master for a long time, his coaching style is obviously deeply influenced by the Zen master, and he has further developed it!
Phil Jackson can be indifferent, but Iverson can't!
In this quarter, he rarely took the initiative to catch the serve, looking directly at Kobe as if he wanted to devour him.
Kobe is naturally not afraid. Although he has three fouls on his back, avoiding defense does not exist in his life dictionary. What was the defensive strength just now, and what is the defensive strength now!
Allen Iverson looked directly into Kobe's eyes, and the dribbling speed of the basketball in his hand was a level faster than before!
"Brother Kobe, let's win this round today!"
The large-scale change of direction is both true and false. When Kobe thought his defense was flawless, he started it!
The ball in Iverson's hand looked as if it was under his control, but it looked like it was about to be released.
It seems that Kobe can easily cut him off as long as he stretches out his hand gently!
Iverson didn't look at the left-handed ball at all, and his body had already slid half of the distance against Kobe's strong shoulder!
With another 0.1 second, Iverson can pass the barrier smoothly.
Kobe knew in his heart that even if Iverson passed his level, it would still be impossible for him to get an easy shot!
He only needs to take two more steps, and he will enter the jurisdiction of Rick Fox!
Therefore, for Kobe, since he is in a foul crisis, the best way now is to let him go and trust his teammates!
But how can someone who chooses to give up at this moment become Kobe!
When the ball spins and slides around Iverson's fingertips!
Kobe reached out decisively!
Clean and neat, cut directly!
He didn't even touch the wind that Iverson brought with him!
The referee will naturally not blow the whistle!
Kobe was full of confidence, smashed the ball hard, rebounded, and rushed!
"Oh!"
The referee whistles!
Offensive foul!
Han Mo was rolling on the ground with a wailing appearance!
Back to the day before the game
The 76ers are making final preparations for the Los Angeles Lakers!
Assisting coach Monty Williams divided the lineup into Iverson's four-point bench lineup, which will compete with the other four starters plus Greg Pad Buckner except Iverson!
"Yes, Han Mo, you guys will use box-1 tactics to intercept Iverson. They will definitely use this trick tomorrow!"
"Allen, don't go in when you break through the first line of defense. The more you go in, the more people you rush in. You have to try to find outside shooters! If you can shoot from outside, your defense will naturally loosen!"
"With our current configuration, Monty, do you think the outside line can be accurate?"
Of the four substitutes, only Aaron McGee's three-pointers are above 30%, and the others combined can't hit a three-pointer per game.
"Instead of passing the ball, I'd better practice how to adapt to the defensive intensity of box-1!"
However, under the leadership of Han Mo, the targeted box-1 tactics did not leave Iverson with a chance to breathe. No matter which direction he turned, not only Han Mo was always with him, but the others were always surrounded by him.
In the face of box-1 tactics, if you can't quickly break through the defense of the first level, there is only one dead end.
Iverson displayed his near-perfect dribbling skills, the ball can stop at any time where he needs him to stop, with the ghostly pace, pierced Han Mo's defense again, but still fell into the encirclement of box-1, When Iverson chose to stop for a jump shot, Han Mo picked the melon from the back of his head and sent the ball flying!
"Boss, you can't play like this," Han Mo said bluntly: "Kobe's defense will only be tighter than mine now! I think there is no solution to box-1 with Kobe participating."
"Oh, don't talk nonsense, come again!" Iverson entered the attack mode again.
Han Mo sat on the ground directly, "Boss, there is no need to confront Kobe head-on, we can find a chance to punish him!"
"Heh, it's easy to say, the current Kobe is the darling of the league, how could he be sent off so easily?"
"I watched Kobe's videos for a few days, and found a small problem. Kobe has a habit. His penny-pinching personality makes his steals more focused on switching possession at the moment the steal is successful, so..."
"Is this really possible?" Iverson was a little skeptical.
……
back to the game
While rolling on the ground, Han Mo stared at Iverson with obvious meaning: "Did you see, did the fish take the bait?"
"Referee! How is this possible? I..." Kobe argued angrily with the referee.
But the video playback clearly recorded the whole process of the foul.
In less than a second between Kobe's success in stealing the ball and the moment when he raised his head and rushed, Kobe directly knocked down Han Mo who was standing upright like a car!
This is an unquestionable offensive foul!
The only weird thing is that before Kobe broke Iverson's ball, Han Mo had already stood up one meter behind Iverson.
It is this distance that not only gave Kobe the space to steal the ball to start and exert strength, but also made it impossible for Kobe to avoid Han Mo's obstruction as long as he chose to sprint in a straight line after stealing the ball.
In terms of creating offensive fouls, this distance is indeed just right, even so good that it is perfect!
But the question is how did Han Mo guess that Iverson's ball was about to be stolen?
Han Mo, who made less than 10% of his three-pointers, stood behind Iverson. If Iverson hadn't been intercepted, then his position at that time was meaningless and extremely stupid!
But if Han Mo can predict in advance that Iverson's ball will be intercepted, sorry, this is a basketball game, not a fantasy novel!
"Oh, what a pity!"
Zhang Weiping let out a long sigh, "Han Mo obviously ran to the wrong position, but it was a blessing in disguise! Running normally, no matter how you run, you can't run behind Iverson. Why did you go there! How can Kobe be blamed for this mistake? It's impossible for anyone else to think of it! Don't say that Kobe couldn't think of it, Han Mo himself couldn't think of it either!"
At this time, Iverson ran over, holding Han Mo who was still rolling on the ground with both hands:
"Hey, you're going a little too far!"
