Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 13 Los Angeles at Four in the Morning
Sean Elliott seemed to have run out of luck in his career after a tiptoe [-]-pointer to beat the Blazers, and he had to undergo a kidney transplant as his kidney disease worsened. After returning from a serious illness, he no longer has the courage of the past, and he is simply unable to support the weak third position of the Spurs, and the one who shares this burden with him is the famous parallel importer Danny Ferry.

Speaking of Danny Ferry, as a famous Cavalier, he was once called the successor of Bird Bird, and it turns out that once a rookie is dubbed the successor of Bird, it will be difficult to get rid of the misery of being out of water destiny.Ferry possesses the moving speed of Matt Bonner and the feminine shooting posture of Steve Kerr. With a height of [-] meters, he is proud of all small forwards and is known as the high fort.

The Lakers took the initiative to make adjustments to the small forward position of the Spurs in the second game. They removed Mr. Fox, who was solid in defense but lacked independent offensive ability, and put Kobe at the third position. De Lai is in charge.

Except for Duncan and Derek Anderson in their primes, the Spurs only have 36-year-old generals who can rely on experience to barely entangle O'Neal. Once the Sharks get the ball, they will fall into the double-team of the general and Ferry. Although Ferry's defensive level is average, his small movements are not inferior to any player known for being dirty. Duncan is cruising on the weak side, ready to defend at any time. ...resigned to fate.

Derek Anderson single-handedly defends Kobe throughout the entire process, and Reed will also have a Spurs defender in front of him, while Harper and Hawley become the two points that were let go.As a poor man's version of Jordan, Harper's offensive desire has been declining since he played next to the genuine Jordan. He has slow legs and feet as he gets older. He also often turns into Ha Bugong when he is open, forcing passes.

However, Holly’s three-pointers are intermittent. The god of destiny obviously did not stand on Holly’s side today. In the first quarter, all three open three-pointers were hit. Zen Master had to replace Grant in advance to help O’Neal share some inside shots. At the same time, Fisher, who was still a small fish, was sent to make up for the lack of three-point firepower.

Kobe took over more of the ball. Facing the Spurs penalty area crowded with many big guys, Kobe chose more of a variety of emergency stop jumpers, which made Derek Anderson miserable.

As the 13th overall shooting guard, Derek Anderson is a good player, but he is still a long way from the top. The data of 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists is obviously not a strong support for Duncan, but Except for Duncan, the Spurs are the only one who has scored in double digits.The defensive end was blown by Kobe, making Popovich's gamble a complete failure.

The general played 30 minutes and had almost no sense of presence on the offensive end. He only scored 8 points, but grabbed 12 rebounds and contributed 4 blocks, which greatly liberated Duncan on the defensive end.In this game, Shifo was fully fired, leaving a string of terrifying numbers of 40 points, 21 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks in the technical statistics after the game.Neither Grant, Hawley, nor Rodman could stop Duncan from putting the ball in the basket in a simple and effective way.

In comparison, O'Neal's performance was not outstanding. He fought with the Spurs inside the whole game. He played 45 minutes and only scored 19 points and 14 rebounds.

Fisher and Reed got more playing time in this campaign. Reed scored 10 points and made 5 of 4 shots with a very high efficiency. Fisher made all 3 three-pointers and scored 11 points and 2 steals. .

The biggest hero is undoubtedly Kobe Bryant. Fei Xia scored 21 points on 14 of 32 shots. Most of his shots were in the middle distance. knife.

The Lakers beat the Spurs at home 92 to 86, and the total score came to 2:0.But there is also bad news. The team's starting point guard Harper stabbed his finger while defending. The inspection showed that Harper's right thumb was fractured and he will miss all the remaining games.

"How about it, Brad, did you enjoy watching this game?"

Stevens tidied up the scattered papers on the table, on which were messy drawings of the tactics used by the two teams in the game, as well as some statistics.

Los Angeles time, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Jim and Stevens were in the video room, repeatedly watching the video of the Spurs-Lakers game.He rejected Dr. Bath's party invitation. In Jim's words, those girls can't discuss basketball tactics, nor can they discuss StarCraft. They are all boring souls.They just want to sleep with themselves, and they are determined not to let them succeed.

Only Stevens is a staunch supporter of Jim's words. This young man has an unusual enthusiasm and savvy for basketball. Jim often puts forward some half-baked views on future basketball, and Stevens can digest them in a short time. , plus some of his own perceptions, now Jim doesn't dare to discuss tactics with him, for fear that if he is not careful, his image of knowing football will completely collapse.

"Sir, I think if both teams stay healthy, we will win easily, the Spurs squad is too old, except for Tim, David and Derrick, the rest of the players are not on the same level at all.

To be honest, I doubt the Spurs would have made the playoffs without Tim. "

"If Tim, Shaq, Kobe, oh, including David were all available, who would you choose to be the core of the team?"

"I want it all."

"You can only choose one."

"Shaq is so dominant, he makes everything easy, just give him the damn ball, he's a great player, but I personally don't think he's a great leader. I think if Swap Shaq and Tim and the Spurs can't even beat the Kings..."

"Hush... If Phil heard what you said, I don't think he will let you continue to attend his training class."

"I stand by my point of view, a good leader needs to make his teammates better, sir, you see this round, Tim first set a screen for Daniels, then moved to the weak side, and did it for Elliott Screening without the ball, making a dislocation and then dismantling to the basket, attracting Shaq's attention, making Shaq dare not help defend Derek's breakthrough. Although Tim didn't score the ball himself, he had at least 70% of this offense % credit. Teammates can play more easily when they play with him."

"However, if a star can deal with an opponent in singles, why bother to go through so much trouble? For example, Shaq, the ball only needs to be in position, and then take a step, turn around to open the defense, and dunk, which is also two points."

Time flies by in the heated debate between the two sides.

"Okay, Brad, neither of us can convince the other party, this time we are tied, oh my god, it's past four o'clock, we should go back to rest now instead of overdrawing our lives here... Wait, I remembered something..."

At the closed door of the training hall, Jim and Stevens were relatively silent.

"Sir, if there is nothing else, I'm going back to rest, remember the meal you owe me."

"Good night... no, good morning."

Jim slandered Kobe, and agreed to come to training at four o'clock in the morning, which made him lose the bet.

He forgot that the team was on a plane to San Antonio last night.
