For any NBA player, self-doubt and affirmation are always going back and forth.

Because in the basketball court, victory and failure always alternate.

It's not even like a football field, at least there's a draw.

Except for victory and defeat, black and white, there is almost no gray.

Of course, some people can evolve into a strong psychological defense line of "I didn't lose if the team lost."

But Kobe is not on the list.

Virgos like him even have the paranoid idea of ​​"I won if the team wins."

So while fighting against his opponent, he has been fighting against himself.

Many superstars in NBA have this trouble and have been fighting their inner self.

This kind of battle is so fierce that it is far more important than that of people working in ordinary positions, because fierce competition is the job of the players.

Different people have different ways of dealing with it to calm down the troubles caused by this inner struggle.

Olajuwon and Jabbar chose religion.

Kevin Johnson and Dave Bing chose politics.

There are also Larry Bird and Thomas who continue to play basketball and fight with people.

And Barkley, who chose to eat and talk nonsense to vent.

Kobe has also reached the age he chose. He has been fighting almost all his basketball career, so of course he has to continue fighting now.

He chose to take the initiative to change, he wanted to transform, and he wanted to make himself stronger.

This is the most difficult road, fighting against time, fighting against the past, and moving against the sky.

As Kobe's teammate, Li Liang can see Kobe's transformation and starts from the preseason.

However, Li Liang could not understand the struggle in Kobe's heart.

And he wouldn't have such a struggle.

I, Gan Li Liang, is the son of the system, the light of the 55th position, and I am still struggling and struggling in my heart?

This is an insult to the system!

It doesn’t matter if you can’t beat you on the field, it’s because I didn’t add it to my home.

When I get home and complete the task, I will increase the point and defeat you.

So people like him cannot understand Kobe's painstaking efforts.

However, the arena is never tolerant of you because of your hard work. If you don’t play well, it’s bad.

Kobe, look at your assists and turnover ratio?

0.5!

What is this concept?

Any assist and turnover errors exceeding 4 are amazing point guards who have left their name in history.

More than 3, that's the best point guard in the league.

If it exceeds 2, it is careless. If the number of assists is large, it can be forgiven according to the play style.

Just passed 1...either a non-guard player with 2 or 3 assists, or you just made a lot of mistakes.

0.5?

Either it is a poor assist, a mistake and an explosion, or both.

Li Liang was heartbroken, so before the start of the fourth quarter, he reminded Kobe to play the game in a way that could win.

In the past, no one in the Lakers dared to "teach" Kobe to play basketball like this.

It's available from today.

In short, No. 28 Bruce Lee is constantly exposing the perception of Lakers players and coaches.

What kind of strange man is he? Is your mouth made of iron?

What surprised the coaching staff and substitutes even more was that after the fourth quarter began, Kobe actually changed his playing style!

He no longer organizes the offense and passes the ball continuously, but starts to take the initiative to attack.

Kobe made 10 shots in the first three quarters, hitting 5 goals, and his shooting percentage was actually quite high.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe took Matthews one-on-one in the offense!

Li Liang personally came to cover Kobe!

Compared with Gasol's blocking man, Li Liang's blocking man is not that thick, but more aggressive.

In fact, Kobe is not a player who likes to play pick-and-roll. His skills are enough to allow him to deal with any one-on-one defender.

But he did not refuse Li Liang's cover. Obviously, Li Liang's cover is of high quality, and it can also make him play more easily.

Kobe made four consecutive mid-range shots on the offensive end, and for a moment, the entire Rose Garden Arena was silent.

This shows people the Krypton Death position in 2008-10, who used a terrible middle distance to kill one opponent after another.

Stotts had to pause, and the Trail Blazers were stunned.

Kobe worked in three quarters and sorted out various attacks. After a long time, he couldn't figure it out.

When I got to take out the scissors, I cut it out with a click of it, and it was cut out for you directly.

On the bench, Kobe did not sit down. He stood up with his knees and patted Li Liang on the shoulder.

This represents Kobe's recognition of Li Liang. Of course, he would not say "You are right, I should listen to you earlier."

I will never say it, I won’t even say it if I beat you to death.

But he knew that Li Liang was right and he should come forward to harvest the competition.

But Kobe was in a turmoil again. Should he continue to follow the organizational route in the next game?

After returning to the court after the timeout, Kobe's consecutive goals widened the gap to 10 points.

There are more than 8 minutes left before the end of the game, and the score difference is not stable.

Sure enough, as soon as the timeout came back, Lillard assisted Matthews to score a three-pointer.

Today, with more and more three-pointers, the 10-point difference can be smoothed out in three rounds.

Then, Kobe lived up to expectations, and Bangbang beat two irons in a row, giving the Trail Blazers a chance to counterattack.

Lillard rushed to the basket with the ball, and he forced a layup against Li Liang, causing Li Liang to foul.

After the referee blew the whistle, Lillard took a deep breath, and he was tortured by Li Liang in the second half.

I scored 1 point in the third quarter, but the fourth quarter has not yet opened, so I have to rely on free throws again.

Li Liang drove a hair dryer and chatted with the referee on the sidelines.

The referee to the law enforcement tonight is Bill Kennedy, a black referee.

Li Liang also paid a price to defend Lillard, and his three fouls were all with Lillard.

With Lillard making both free throws, the score difference was narrowed to 5 points.

Lillard's score reached 15 points, which was 5 points away from 20 points.

In the last six minutes of decisive battle, both sides increased to the highest intensity.

Because it was the beginning of the season, as soon as both sides increased their intensity, the number of mistakes began to increase.

The players' condition and tacit understanding have not reached the best.

The court was in chaos for a while, and Li Liang was a kid who was a chaotic fighter.

In an offensive battle, Li Liang grabbed the ball from the siege between two Trail Blazers players.

With his back to the basket, a beautiful hit pass is stuffed into the basket.

Howard got the ball and dunked!

Li Liang has another assist.

This is a unique skill he learned from John Johnson!

The ball is passed without looking at people from behind.

It was a little excited when it was used on the court for the first time and it was successful.

As a result, he was excited and was beaten by Lillard and he made a quick counterattack and made a layup.

After conceding the goal, Li Liang was very upset. He couldn't be careless at all in the NBA field.

Especially in the Lakers, the rest of the defense is the old man, and no one chases after losing his position.

Mom, Lillard has scored 17 points and can't let him score any more.

After two pauses and substitutions, both sides entered the critical moment of the last two minutes.
