If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 343 The Difference Between Superstars

"Damn it!" Kobe couldn't help but swear.

In fact, he didn't feel that he was completely blocked by the Thunder's defense. He felt that he could hit a few shots.

The result was different from what was expected, and he hit the iron again.

He absolutely does not admit that he is old, but he is not in a good state temporarily, and he can still adjust it back.

how to say?There are various situations, but Kobe is definitely not at his peak.

He is now using technology to make up for a small physical setback, which cannot be seen at all from the data.

But with consumption, when he wants to forcefully take over the game, he can actually feel the difference.

There are some balls that he could definitely hit when he was younger, but now he is always a little bit short.

Especially when facing a top-level team like the Thunder with a top-level defense.

His teammates didn't play as well as he wanted, and Kobe wanted to do it by himself, but found that it was also difficult to do what he wanted.

Kobe was very angry, he still wanted to win the championship.

He doesn't want the Thunder to become a dynasty team so smoothly, he wants to continue the Lakers' dynasty.

Sometimes he thinks it is impossible when he is rational, but he will never admit defeat on the court.

Reason is not so important in front of competitive sports.

He wants to continue to adjust, he wants to create miracles, get back to his best form, and beat the Thunder.

When Kobe gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat, the score gap between the Lakers and the Thunder was widening.

Kobe has his magic. In many games, he can adjust when he feels bad, and then lead the team to beat strong teams.

The status of a superstar is achieved by playing.

But sometimes, he also loses because of his stubbornness.

After all, the game time is limited, the opponents are strong and weak, not every opponent will give a chance.

Players are not robots, each has its own personality, which makes the league more exciting.

Kobe can do this because he has the power to do so, and the Lakers have no better way for the time being.

They continue to play the team, allowing Kobe to attract the defense and pass the ball can definitely score more points.

But for the outcome of the game, in fact, it has little impact.

This Lakers team claims to have three All-Stars, but Kobe doesn't show his power, they are really not the opponents of a strong team.

Gasol is very good, but he is different from the national team in the league. He rarely takes responsibility, and many times he has forgotten how to lead the team to win.

"Do a good job of defending, don't slack off." Yi Jian said loudly.

"From now on, we're going to gradually get into playoff form."

Facing opponents in the West, they can't keep their hands, and they can't relax on both ends of the offense and defense before clocking in to get off work.

This is the attitude of the defending champions. If they want to build a dynasty, they must not develop bad habits.

Fortunately, the competition within the Thunder team is also relatively fierce. Otherwise, the team won two championships at such a young age, and some people might be lost.

In the future, the team will not be able to maintain a complete lineup and will continue to introduce new players, which is actually quite good.

That way, there will always be enthusiastic young people coming over, and the Thunder can maintain their rule.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers trailed by double digits, and Kobe threw the towel directly.

In fact, he has been blacksmithing, but it feels like he is about to curse.

Other players dare not provoke him, and the head coach has to take care of his emotions.

To a certain extent, it is true that other players are not strong enough, and Kobe wants to play stubborn singles.

Kobe has always given other people some chances, and only took over the game when the team basketball failed.

Kobe was a little weaker when he played team basketball. If his teammates couldn't do it, there was nothing he could do.

Anyway, Kobe can't combine the two states in his life, so he can only use them separately.

The coach has changed this season, the tactics are a little different, but some things are the same.

And the Lakers can do without others, but they do need Kobe.

Some fans love it, some fans can't understand it, but that's the reality.

Kobe took a break at the beginning of the last quarter. It is not so easy to keep holding the ball and defending. It also requires extremely strong physical strength, and Kobe is indeed not young.

The Lakers didn't play badly when Kobe wasn't around.

However, without Kobe, the Lakers are like that. They may catch up with 2 or 3 points, but they will definitely not be able to reverse the game.

The significance of superstars to the game is to make the impossible possible.

After Kobe played again, it was indeed different.

The front feel was not good, but in the crucial fourth quarter, his touch was magical.

Without this ability, he would not have this status now.

When the Thunder seemed to improve their defense level, Bryant had already scored 5 points in a row.

Pulling out from the three-point line is also a hit.

Kobe is not good at three-pointers, but the feeling is coming, he can hit directly with the ball outside the three-point line.

It feels a bit metaphysical, but that's it.

Sometimes the tighter the defense, the more he will hit.

Subsequently, Kobe played a trick of super lean back.

The Thunder called for a timeout and adjusted their defense slightly.

Outside the three-point line, the players are still close to the defense, two points long, the outside line assists in the flanking attack, enters the interior line, and the inside players immediately go over to assist in the defense flanking attack.

When Kobe feels good, he cannot be allowed to keep shooting.

The point is, at this time, Kobe basically can't pass the ball.

For Kobe, you can really pinch with confidence.

If the Thunder were not so strong before, they would have flanked before.

Now, you can still make a choice according to the situation, after all, their defense is strong enough.

At the same time, the Lakers' defense also pinched Yi Jian, and then Durant got stuck again.

Durant is not bad at critical moments, but sometimes it does take time to adjust when encountering a strong defense.

It's already the final quarter, and the opponent won't give you time.

How should Durant say, he is definitely a superstar with extraordinary talent.

But sometimes, he is a little bit far from the league's top superstar.

It may be mentality, because technically speaking, he feels that he is at the top level.

Durant fans will also suspect that he is so strong, but sometimes he can't do it.

Obviously hoped to lead the team to win the game, but lost inexplicably, this is Durant.

But Durant's inner problems are not so obvious. Sometimes he can turn the tide, let's say [-]-[-].

Some stars in the league can do it at the critical moment, saying that the [-]-[-] is just to save face.

Against the backdrop of his peers, Durant still looks very good.

It's just that when it comes to fighting for historical status, when it's time to fight for No.1 in the league, his shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

Durant is strong, but not that powerful.

Then, at the critical moment, Yi Jian still needed to stand up, no matter what method he used.

The Lakers players also desperately pestered him when attacking, not to occupy a good offensive position, but to prevent Yi Jian from assisting defense and grabbing rebounds.

But what does it matter? If you can't solve these problems, you are not a superstar.

The efforts of small characters are not so valuable in front of talent.
