Chapter 148 Kobe's Enlightenment

At 36:21, the Lakers scored 15 more points in the second quarter, beating the Jazz in disgrace.In the third quarter, the Lakers played the main force. Wu Di was replaced by Zen Master to rest because he played two quarters in a row, and the Jazz's situation improved.

Judging from the lineup on the field, the Jazz and Lakers seem to be half-matched, almost identical.But Kobe's variable appeared again.

Kobe Bryant did a quarter on the bench in the second quarter, and he also began to reflect on himself a little bit.He admitted that he was impulsive, Wu Di asked for a trade, and the relationship between the two is very good, Wu Di has always regarded him as a big brother, and every time he went to Kobe's house, he would bring gifts to his children.

Although Wu Di has a certain right to the ball, if you think about it carefully, when the two are on the court at the same time, Wu Di rarely asks for the ball.He creates opportunities through his own efforts and lets his teammates take the initiative to pass the ball to him.

Kobe has played for so many years, of course he knows what kind of teammates his teammates like.One is hard-working, willing to do any dirty work, this kind of people are basically blue-collar, every team likes blue-collar.

There is also a teammate who can give himself long statistics. As long as the pass is passed, it can be turned into an assist. Whenever there is a chance, he will pass the ball to himself. Who doesn't like this kind of teammate?
Wu Di is both the first type of teammate and the second type of teammate.He is said to be the first type of teammate because he is very willing to defend. No matter what kind of defensive task you assign him, he will execute it, even if it consumes a lot of physical strength and concentration.

Wu Di is the second type of teammate because Wu Di knows how to run open and shoots accurately. After the ball is passed, most of it will be converted into an assist.And it doesn't matter if Wu Di passes the ball, as long as his teammates have the opportunity, he will pass the ball immediately, even if it is Bynum, who is not liked internally.

After thinking about this, Kobe's thoughts on Wu Di became slightly lighter. He did not feel any hostility from Wu Di.

Thinking of this, Kobe couldn't help but look at the Zen master.Time has no impenetrable wall, although no one heard what the Zen master said to Wu Di.But Kobe still found clues from the Zen master and Wu Di. He found that the Zen master intended to support Wu Di, but Wu Di was very resistant.

Zen Master intended to increase Wu Di's shooting rights in the first and third quarters, and had expressed more than once that he wanted Wu Di to move more.As long as Wu Di runs out of position, others will naturally pass the ball to him. This kind of thing does not need a Zen master to explain, the players themselves can understand it.

But Wu Di didn't do that. He still acted as a defensive spearhead in the first and third quarters as usual, and gave up more offensive opportunities to others.

But why did the Zen master do this?Kobe was a little puzzled.He also thought about the matter between Zen Master and the Lakers management. Zen Master had always wanted to join the Lakers management, but he was not allowed.

Now the Lakers' winning streak is very strong, and the external voice for Jackson to join the management team has become louder and louder recently. Maybe as long as the Lakers' winning streak exceeds the historical record, Jackson will join the management team.

Thinking about it this way, Kobe understood Zen Master's intentions, and he wanted to continue his winning streak.Thinking of this, Kobe seems to have caught the Zen master's vein. Now the Lakers have won 30 consecutive victories, and as long as they win four more games, they can break the record.

Is it good for me to join Zen Master?Kobe is not clear about this problem, but is it good for him to increase his winning streak?Kobe is very sure, of course there are benefits, he is the head star who created a winning streak record, the benefits are the biggest.

Since there are so many benefits, Kobe certainly hopes that the Lakers can break the record.But Kobe is not satisfied with today's situation. What he needs is for him to lead the team to break the record, instead of making problems on his own and letting Wu Di fill in the hole to complete the record. That is not what Kobe wants. His pride does not allow him to lead others. credit.

Change!Something has to change!Kobe said to himself secretly.He wants to help the team break records, not hold them back.

After playing in the third quarter, Kobe no longer played the same style as in the first quarter, but began to cooperate with his teammates, asking Gasol to block him continuously, and then Kobe broke through and distributed the ball to Bynum, Fisher and others.

This is a tactic of pick-and-roll combined with triangle offense. This tactic can maximize Kobe's passing ability.How good is Kobe's passing ability?No one knows, not even Kobe himself, he never thought about passing the ball normally.

But now, Kobe suddenly passed the ball, which caught the Jazz by surprise.

The Jazz developed zone defense tactics according to Kobe's personality, just to limit Kobe's scoring.But Kobe stopped shooting. This tactic didn't work at all, and it became a weakness. He was caught by the Lakers and had no way to fight back.

Kobe's sudden change surprised the fans. They found that not only Wu Di was the Jazz nemesis on defense, but Kobe was also the Jazz nemesis on offense.

The fans did not hesitate to pull up the banner of the Jazz Buster, and then temporarily added a support card of Kobe at the back, which is: Jazz Buster Kobe.

Wu Di couldn't help but cover his eyes when he saw this scene. These fans really have no moral integrity. Isn't this nickname given to them too casually?
And Kobe was a little bit pained watching it on the court. You guys gave me someone else’s nickname like this. Is this really okay?When returning to defense, Kobe even went to the bench to "hold his arms and cry" with Wu Di to express his "sadness."

"Hahaha--"

The Lakers fans watched it very happily. They didn't expect the serious Kobe to have such a playful side.

The Jazz wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to play a fast break, but Bynum suddenly blocked the inside line like King Kong, and directly slapped Boozer's layup.

Kobe returned to the court and just caught the ball. Coincidentally, Kobe was stunned.Kobe was stunned for a moment, and then immediately went on a fast break, but when he reached the three-point line, Deron had already returned to the defense, and Deron gave Fisher behind him.

Fisher slanted into the bottom corner, Kobe passed the ball immediately, and Fisher hit a three-pointer.

The more the Lakers play, the more relaxed they become, and the more the Jazz play, the more depressed they become.In the fourth quarter, Wu Di played an 8:0 attack wave with Kobe Bryant, extending the score to 20 points.

The Jazz called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and conceded.

After defeating the Jazz, the Lakers eliminated all obstacles.The fans started yelling crazily, there was one more game left, and there were two more wins away from 33 wins. Some fans started shouting the English words "rabbit!" and "rabbit!" to celebrate this victory .

Wu Di was sweating a little. Fortunately, the foreigner didn't speak Chinese, otherwise, everyone in the venue would shout "two", and there would be excitement to watch.
