the great gatsby

Chapter 311 Singled out Kobe!

In the middle of the second quarter, the two sides returned to the field from the starting field. Kobe added singles. He found that Gatsby was not easy to play. If it was someone else, like James, even if he wanted to play by himself, he might increase the pick-and-roll The chance of misplaced singles, if not necessary, will never go to the opponent's toughest place, but Kobe is not. His basketball philosophy is: don't give up any chance to conquer the opponent!

Gatsby's strong defense aroused his interest. The stronger the opponent, the higher Kobe's fighting spirit. It is obvious that Gatsby has inspired Kobe's high fighting spirit. Phil Jackson shook his head off the field, not because Kobe is dissatisfied with his paranoid singles play. In his coaching philosophy, singles play is not a bad thing. As long as the shooting rate can be guaranteed, he will not prevent the team's top card from scoring. This is the case when coaching Jordan and Kobe Bryant. .

He shook his head in mourning for Gatsby. In his opinion, Kobe was a player comparable to Jordan in terms of singles, and even in a certain aspect, Kobe was slightly better than Jordan.

The Lakers had the ball, and after halftime Fisher dribbled the ball to Kobe on the right wing. After receiving the ball, Kobe stood facing the frame, making a standard three-threat posture. Gatsby did not dare to relax. Ability, now the league really can't find anyone who can stand side by side with Kobe, don't forget, the current No.1 in the league is Kobe, not LeBron.

Kobe holds the ball and observes Gatsby's actions:

——Right foot in front, left foot in back——Typical blocking in the middle;

——The center of gravity is just right, the right hand is drooping and ready to cut the ball at any time, this is to prevent him from attacking the right leg placed in front, forcing him to go to the left;

——The left hand is raised high, ready to interfere with the shot at any time.

The bottom line is that Gatsby is forcing him to go wide, preventing him from going in the middle and direct mid-range shots.Kobe glanced at Bogut and Stoudemire on the flank, ready to come over to help at any time, and he knew in his heart that this was a trap aimed at him!

However, Gatsby's defense is really good. He is excellent in single defense and can coordinate with his teammates to target the opponent's strongest point. It can be defended, because offense has more advantages than defense, let alone facing an attacker of such a historical level as himself.

Kobe is indeed the best attacker. He can see Gatsby's intentions at a glance, so his ability to read the opponent's defense is absolutely outstanding. No wonder he made a game called Detail His basketball technical analysis video immediately became a hit, he has this ability!
Kobe made a move and tried to break through to the side with a wobble. Gatsby was delighted, but Kobe changed his center of gravity and made a cross step to break through the middle, directly attacking Gatsby's right foot. Gatsby was shocked and quickly retreated. Kobe passed half a body position, which meant that Kobe had succeeded in breaking through. As soon as Gatsby retreated, Kobe adjusted his footsteps with a small jump, and directly pulled up to make a long-distance mid-range shot, a hit!
In the eyes of others, Kobe's entire movement was clean and neat. It was just a simple three-threat test step followed by a sudden left hand, and then a sudden stop for a mid-range shot. Although it looked cool, the movement was simple. Gatsby's defense was really average!
But from the two parties involved, Gatsby and Kobe, Gatsby defended the ball beautifully, and Kobe attacked exquisitely. Although Kobe made a hit, I have to say that Gatsby's defense is really good!

Although Gatsby failed to defend Kobe, he can still say one thing about his defense, not that our army is incompetent, but that the opponent is too strong!
In the next round, Kobe beat Gatsby again. This time he hit a jumper while turning over in the low post. It seemed that he had killed Gatsby. Even though Gatsby had always had a good mentality and never had any emotional fluctuations on the court, After being beaten by Kobe's two singles, his anger also came up.

Billups dribbled the ball halfway, and Gatsby stood and asked him at the 45-degree three-point line. Billups was surprised, because Gatsby never stood to ask for the ball, and mostly ran. Then catch the ball, or break through, or split the ball, or catch and shoot, never stand up to catch the ball, because it is difficult to conduct the ball smoothly, and Gatsby can't play like that.

So... Gatsby wants to play singles?
Billups hurriedly passed the ball. To be honest, after arriving in the Knicks, he has never seen Gatsby angry or angry. He is always so calm and optimistic, even in the most difficult times. Well, Gatsby wouldn't look frustrated, let alone piss him off - Billups was curious too!
Gatsby received the ball, and Kobe immediately pushed up. He called forcing the ball holder. He used aggressive defense to leave Gatsby with no room to dribble. If he did it well, the opponent would not even be able to pass the ball.

Gatsby leaned sideways against Kobe to protect the ball. If it was him last season, Kobe would have forced him so hard and he would probably have made a forced mistake. But this season, he is strong, and his strength and physique are not worse than Kobe's. Kobe's pressure is very good. Hard to work.

Gatsby turned around and held the ball with both hands and quickly made a big loop in front of him to force Kobe back. Taking advantage of the trend, Kobe made a breakthrough. If the space is lost, then the only option is to retreat to prevent a breakthrough.

As soon as Kobe retreated, Gatsby took a step back and returned to the three-point line. He held the ball in his left hand, his right hand approached his left hand, and looked at the basket. Kobe jumped up without thinking. Yelling: Oops!

Gatsby didn't shoot. He slapped the ball to the ground with his left hand. With his left foot, he took a step to the right. Then he took a three-point shot with both hands and legs!
Three point hit!

Gatsby responded to Kobe's singles in his own way.

The fans of Staples can see the signs: Gatsby is on the bar with Kobe!
Gatsby's counterattack made Kobe's fighting spirit even stronger. He was not afraid of the opponent's counterattack, but what he was afraid of was that the opponent was too weak.

Looking back, Kobe held the ball and broke through Gatsby. With the help of Gatsby and Stoudemire, Kobe still made a fallback and made a mid-range shot. Staples was almost boiling.

Gatsby showed no sign of weakness. He dribbled the ball past half court, took two steps away from the three-point line and shot. Kobe, who was defending on the three-point line, was beaten by Gatsby!

Kobe and Gatsby have different styles of singles. Kobe plays singles inside the three-point line. This move is full of classical beauty, while Gatsby is unreasonable and singles out with a different style of play. .

There are different styles of play, but each has its own highlights. In terms of freshness and shock, Gatsby is naturally better. Gatsby's three-point arc is extremely high, and the distance is far away. After shooting, the time in the air is very long. , There is a sense of technology of missiles flying in the air looking for targets to bomb and the sense of satisfaction after hitting!

Staples completely exploded!
