Leading the team to six consecutive victories; scoring 114 points against the Houston Rockets, a recognized defensive team in the league; Yao Ming, the nemesis of everyone's imagination, did not show much against the Lakers. His reputation continued to rise, and many voices of praise surrounded him.

Even the old Nelson, who Ke Yan himself regards as a "mentor", gave a high evaluation when talking about Ke Yan in the interview.

"This Lakers team is a masterpiece, a really good team. It's like an orchestra, the Lakers always play the perfect chord, and always maintain a tacit understanding, and the timing is also very good. The NBA gathers The best coaches in the world, Kimi is one of the best. In my opinion, without this new generation of coaches to explore and make changes, basketball will stagnate."

Ke Yan quickly responded to the old Nelson's praise: "The old Nelson is the coach who has had the most profound influence on me. He gave me a glimpse of the new era of basketball. The crystal ball for the future of basketball, you'll find it, it's in Nelson's playbook."

The time came to March, and the Lakers welcomed back Shaquille O’Neal, who left the team in the summer, at home. The Heat, ranked No. , which made this game extremely popular, and was temporarily included in the broadcast plan by ESPN. Everyone hoped to see another wonderful performance at the level of the Christmas game.

However, the reason why an unpopularity is an unpopularity means that this kind of thing cannot happen every day.David can only defeat Goliath once if he makes all the right decisions.Compared to becoming a dragon slayer, perhaps more people would like to become the most powerful dragon.

O'Neal, who went all out, told the Lakers what cruelty is in the first quarter. Diop, who caused great trouble for O'Neal in the low defense in the last round, was fouled twice by O'Neal in less than 3 minutes. , The fight continued, without the buffer of Mim, Anderson, who was regarded as a back-up player, was forced to step forward to fight, and was completely crushed, basically giving points.

I don't know where the French Wu Yanzu later dared to say that he could guard O'Neill.

Like a battering ram, O'Neal smashed open the gate of the Lakers, harvesting heads frantically. The energy of the other Heat players was all on the defensive end. Under strict defense, the Lakers' offense was also hindered.

In the first quarter of the game, the team trailed the Heat by as much as 18 points at 33:15.

O'Neal made 8 of 7 shots and 9 of 4 free throws. He scored 18 points in a single quarter and showed off his might at the Staples Center!

Regarding "what kind of achievements Yao Ming can achieve in the small ball era", it was a point of contention among many fans in the previous life. "Yao Chuan" generally believed that Yao Ming would beat everyone in the small ball era and could force other teams in the league to play inside. Prepare a blue-collar insider to carry the man, while "Yao Hei" think that the speed of two points can never be compared with three points. Yao Ming can't adapt to the fast-paced offense and defense, and can't defend the pick-and-roll. Playing small ball, the achievement is just like that, the era of exploding small ball is pure nonsense.

But no matter what the outcome of the dispute between Yao Ming and "Small Ball" is, there is basically a consensus that "O'Neal is the absolute small ball finisher."

This game reflected this point. Ke Yan thought of many ways to deal with O'Neill, and finally found that the "shark hacking tactic" was the most effective.

In Ke Yan's cognition, the "shark-cutting tactic" that cannot guarantee offensive efficiency is not very meaningful.But in this game, the Lakers can only slow down O'Neal's offensive edge through this trick, and at the same time hope that the team's offensive end is as efficient as possible.However, the perimeter offensive group led by Kobe failed to do this, and eventually suffered a disastrous defeat.

87:114, the Lakers suffered the worst loss since Ke Yan took office, and it was also the worst game lost this season. (37-21)

In the whole game, O'Neal made 23 of 16 shots and 25 of 11 free throws. He scored 43 points and dominated the inside of the Lakers.

Kobe's data is not bad, 21 of 9 shots, 12 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 6 free throws, and scored 29 points.But anyone who has watched the game knows that because the team has been leading by more than 20 points, the Heat's defensive strength in the second half was relatively average, allowing the Lakers to make some simple shots.

After a disastrous defeat, the fans didn't blame Ke Yan very much. No one would deny the team's previous excellent performance just because of a loss after six consecutive victories.

Kobe was the most frustrated. After the press conference, he practiced in the arena for an extra hour as a warning to himself.

After a day off, the Lakers played against their old rival Celtics at home and won the game 113 to 104, avoiding a losing streak. (37-22)

The yellow-green battle is a splendid history in the history of the NBA. The first round of the season between the two teams, the atmosphere of the Celtics at home has exerted great pressure on the Lakers. When they come to the Staples Center, the Lakers fans also Put tremendous pressure on the Celtics players.

Under such circumstances, several players in the Celtics team with unstable mental qualities experienced ups and downs. Antoine Walker made 12 of 4 shots and LaFrentz made 6 of 1 shots. .What's more terrible is that the two teamed up to grab 8 rebounds, and the rebounds were blown to pieces!

In the last game, they were beaten by O'Neal on the inside and doubted their lives. Anderson and Odom realized their shame in this game and then acted bravely. After catching Walker and LaFrentz, the two kite men just hit their heads and output, grabbing the offensive rebounds alone. At 9, the heroic performance is hardly like the inside of the Lakers.

The team has an absolute advantage in rebounding. Kobe, Finley, and Butler have the opportunity to fully reload their bullets, and their offense has become more decisive and resolute.

The Celtics' outside offense is not weak. Pierce scored 32 points and 6 rebounds. Ricky Davis, the data brush, was not soft at all, scoring 21 points.But the team still lost on the inside.The Lakers scored in double figures with 6 points, and Kobe handed over 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Overall, it is quite satisfactory, and the key is for the team to win.

Subject to the team's performance, Kobe's hope of competing for the MVP this season has been very slim.One of the honors he can compete for is the scoring champion, and the other is the first team of the best team. The main opponents are Iverson.

Bryant scored 30.2 points per game, only slightly worse than Iverson (30.3).On the MVP list, Nash and O'Neal ranked the top two, Duncan ranked third, Kobe Bryant and Iverson ranked fourth and fifth.In the competition for the guard position of the best team, in addition to Nash firmly occupying one spot, the other spot is between Kobe and Iverson.

Both honors are within reach. Based on Ke Yan's understanding of Kobe, he must be "I want them all". It is very likely that he will increase some shots in the game, even if he sacrifices some efficiency.

In order to avoid some unhappy things from happening, Ke Yan took the initiative to call Kobe and told him a lot.

The team will make some tactical adjustments for him, create singles opportunities for him, and lead or fall behind by a large score will also allow him to score points on the court.

But if the feel is not good, you have to reduce jump shots and enhance breakthroughs.In the face of double-teams, score the ball when it is time to score the ball, and don't force yourself against the double-team.

"Learn to adjust, this is not difficult for you!"

Whether Kobe can accept Ke Yan's opinion, no one knows, the point is that Ke Yan released his kindness to Kobe.

He was also the first coach to tell Kobe clearly, "I will help you brush up your stats." This is quite special.
