Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 309 Making Difficulties

The current Radmanovic is not the skier who was unable to attack and defend. The Serbian who can play the third and fourth positions has many advantages of European players-comprehensive skills, soft touch, and accurate shooting. Use height to bully small forwards, use flexibility and range to deal with power forwards.And the corresponding shortcomings-weak autonomous offensive ability, soft confrontation, and poor defense.

The Sonics sent Rashad Lewis and Radmanovich two players with both height and range on the front line at the same time, intending to disrupt the Lakers' defense, let Jim take care of one thing and lose another, and indeed David Weiss Very uncomfortable.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers replaced Battier and West.

Nate McMillan was mentally prepared when he deployed Radmanovic, relying on his sharp offense while enduring his poor defense.

As the saying goes, one pick and roll, two mismatches, three opportunities.

Although after David West was replaced, the Lakers lost an excellent pick-and-roll player, but Battier's fixed-point shooting ability should not be underestimated. It's okay to have some.

Four people opened up the space, Kobe's singles are like a fish in water, the Supersonics have no one else to match Kobe except Ray Allen, but if Ray Allen defends Kobe in the whole court, it will consume a lot of personal consumption , but for the supersonic speed, this is not a question of which one of the two cups of poison to choose. Now they are one of the six people lying on the railroad tracks, waiting for the tram to come.

After studying the Sonics lineup and the video of the last game, Jim and the Lakers coaching staff re-worked out the countermeasures. In the last game, the Lakers were short of major generals, and the strategy was too passive. They were bluffed by Lewis' good start. Well, the scheduling of the whole game was a strategy to deal with McMillan, and the opportunity was lost. In this game, Jim decided to take the initiative, control the rhythm, and let the Supersonics make changes to deal with the Lakers.

Kobe's character is not afraid of any challenge. When the coaching staff arranged the strategy for tonight and used his personal singles to forcefully blast Ray Allen when necessary, he felt very excited in his heart. He and Ray Allen Lun has been fighting openly and secretly for more than a day or two. In the last match between the two sides, Kobe won the statistics but lost the game. This time he will win back with face and face.

Artest and Battier pull to the weak side, and Garnett stands in a high position. Once he catches the ball in this position, he can shoot easily, or directly hit the basket, and can also transfer to teammates on the weak side. The Sonic's defense made them dare not easily pinch Kobe who fell in the low post.

After Billups dropped the ball in, he also pulled himself to the top of the arc.

Kobe held the ball, adjusted his posture, and started playing back. He first tried a back turn, but Ray Allen ignored it.

Kobe made another forward turn and followed Garnett's Jerome James to move a small step towards Kobe. Garnett immediately activated and made an empty cut to the basket.Ray Allen stretched his hands and interfered with Kobe's passing lane.

But Kobe is still a feint, continues to dribble, exerts force with his left foot, and turns to the baseline.

"It's always true this time!" Ray Allen immediately slid sideways, ready to block Kobe's offensive line.

As a result, after Kobe's right foot landed, he immediately rebounded and turned from the upper line to cut in. Ray Allen staggered and was thrown two steps away by Kobe.

Jerome James returned to the basket to protect the basket, but Kobe had already taken off, collected the ball and straightened his waist, gliding past James in the air, and flew to the other side of the basket to dunk his hands behind his back!
In the away game, Kobe was the silencer, and at home he was the catalyst. The home atmosphere, suppressed by Radmanovich's consecutive three-pointers just now, boiled up again.

However, in this game, Radmanovic seemed to be Petrovic resurrected from the dead. Stojakovic was possessed by his soul, and against Battier's defense, he made another three-pointer.

"Wow, is this guy so accurate? Are we going to sign him? His contract is about to expire." Jim joked with the assistants, seemingly not taking Radmanovic's fiery state into consideration. on heart.

On the court, Kobe responded immediately. He was almost 2 inches taller than Ray Allen and weighed 10 kilograms. He had a clear advantage in physical confrontation. Len rolled to the basket, forced a layup, and caused a foul by Ray Allen.

Nate McMillan finally lost his composure. After traversing the bench, he set his sights on Damien Wilkins, the undrafted pick he signed this year.

Damien Wilkins has a height of 1 meters and a weight of 98 kilograms. He is a perfect swingman. He has a famous uncle, Dominique Wilkins, known as the essence of human movies, And his father, Gerald Wilkins, also played in the NBA for 101 years. When he played for the Knicks, he averaged 13 points, 19.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. He was good at defense and was one of the "Jordan terminators" in the league. "One, also participated in the dunk contest.Like his brother, he also suffered a serious Achilles tendon rupture, but his luck was worse, and he fell quickly after the injury.

Damian Wilkins replaced point guard Luke Ridnour, and the Sonics let Ray Allen handle the ball, allowing Wilkins to mark Kobe and free Ray Allen on the defensive end. Lun.

The team's main attack points were Lewis and Radmanovich. Ray Allen's job was relatively easy. Lewis took advantage of his height and hit a two-pointer in front of Artest.

It is the glorious tradition of the Wilkins family to be able to fly and dunk well, and to be physically fit. Damien Wilkins has naturally inherited this. Although his defensive skills still need to be polished, his fighting spirit and passion are quickly reflected , as soon as the Lakers sent the bottom line, he and Kobe fought passionately all the way, from the Lakers' three-point line to the Supersonic free throw arc.

Kobe borrowed an off-ball screen from Artest before receiving the ball, and Wilkins posted it up again, opening his hands to defend.

Kobe first made a tentative step with his right foot to the left. Seeing that Wilkins' center of gravity shifted to his right, he immediately kicked off his right foot, turned around in the opposite direction, and broke through from his right.

Wilkins hurriedly adjusted his steps and slid to the left to block.

Kobe stepped on the brake with his left foot, turned around again with his right foot as the axis, turned over to collect the ball and made a shot.

Wilkins takes off and tries to block the shot.

Kobe received the ball, took a small step forward with his left foot, passed Wilkins who was swayed, and licked the basket with his left hand to score.

This series of dazzling actions caused the audience to exclaim, and it is worthy of being a representative figure of the picturesque world.

"There is no difficulty, and it is necessary to create difficulties. As expected of Kobe, in fact, when Wilkins was defending just now, he could make two free throws with a flick of his hand." The sideline commentary praised.
