132 Best of the Match

After Kobe finished speaking, he walked to the lounge to change his training suits, and Li Zhe began to recall what Kidd's defense looked like.

If you think about it carefully, Kidd is 193 cm tall and weighs 95 kg. He is a heavy player in the point guard position.

When Kidd was young, he often relied on his body and experience to perform misaligned defense. After joining the Nets, Jefferson, the Eastern Conference playoffs teamed up with Jefferson to take care of the young LeBron James, and even defended Duncan alone in the finals, and more than one or two rounds.

Even if he returns to the Mavericks, his physical fitness is not as good as before, and he has defended players such as Westbrook, Harden, and LeBron.

The only thing that made Kidd more defeated was Wade. The pace may not be able to keep up, but only in terms of point guard defense, Kidd defends five of them, and his defensive efficiency ranks among the top 20 in history. If he claims to be second, only Payton dares to recognize first.

Thinking of this, Li Zhe felt very bad, and the battle against the Mavericks was difficult to fight.

Soon, Kobe changed into training uniform and returned to the court, waved his hand to signal Li Zhe to stand to the top of the arc.

"Kidd has a very high defensive IQ. Based on my experience in fighting with him over the past ten years, he is good at blocking positions, blocking footsteps, and blocking routes... In short, he is very good at all aspects, and it is difficult for you to complete the attack through a single skill."

"Once, at an All-Star game, I talked to him and learned that he likes to analyze the offensive habits of counter players before the game, understand and simulate technical movements, master shooting preferences, launch attacks on weaknesses in advance, and avoid counter players from playing their advantages."

"In addition, he is also good at using various game rules, which you have to pay special attention to."

"He shouldn't have time to analyze you, but Pippen helped him save that trouble and he could directly adopt the advice."

Hearing this, Li Zhe felt speechless and asked, "What should I do?"

"Two moves." Kobe stretched out two fingers, "Forcing a force or seduce, you must take the initiative in his own hands."

"It seems that it doesn't sound technical..." Li Zhe complained in a low voice.

"It's difficult to play hard. You are at a disadvantage in height and weight. The only speed advantage is limited by the Mavericks' fast rotation. You can only open up the situation by luring, which is the skills I will teach you next."

"Then let's start now, what should we learn first?" Li Zhe rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement.

"I see that you often stop and pretend to shoot, so I will teach you the fake shooting moves I often use. I will demonstrate it to you first."

After saying that, Kobe picked up the basketball, drove two steps in a row to the free throw line, stopped quickly, raised his hand and straightened his upper body, then suddenly put down his hands and turned around, took another big step forward, aimed at the mid-range shot of the basket.

When the basketball smashed the iron frame and smashed the iron, Li Zhe lowered his head and scratched his neck and pretended not to see it.

"The demonstration action is not that accurate, but that's the principle." Kobe was calm and composed, "You try it."

Li Zhe took the basketball, rushed to the free throw line in two steps, stopped urgently, raised his hand and hit his upper body straight.

Just as he was about to shoot, Kobe waved his hand and shouted, "Stop! You can't do this. You didn't look at the ring at the first time. If I could see it, Kidd could see it too. He would never be fooled by that time."

Hearing this, Li Zhe retreated to the top of the arc, rushed to the free throw line in two steps, stopped urgently, raised his hand to aim at the ring...

"Stop! You can't do this. The tendency to turn is too obvious. You have to wait until the defender takes off before turning."

Li Zhe retreated back to the top of the arc again, but still took two steps in a row to the free throw line, stopped urgently and raised his hand to aim at the ring.

Seeing that Kobe had no sign of jumping, he jumped decisively.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net.

Kobe gave a thumbs up, "It's great to know how to be flexible."

Li Zhe picked up the basketball and ran to the top of the arc. He did the same move again and easily clicked Kobe.

Just as he was about to shoot, Kobe's voice sounded again: "Stop!"

"What's wrong this time?" Li Zhe looked puzzled, "I'll look at the circle first, wait until you jump before turning around..."

"I didn't see anything wrong with you." Kobe waved his hand, "just want to remind you to observe the surrounding situation before making a shooting choice, and don't hit the defender head-on. If there is a double-team, change to a backward jump shot."

"I understand, do it again."

Li Zhe retreated to the top of the arc, bent down and took two steps in a row, stopped suddenly and raised his hand to point Kobe, turned around and got rid of it, glanced at his front and left and right in an instant, ignored Kobe's sound of stopping, and made a steadily shot.

"Why didn't you stop?" Kobe asked with his hips on his face, his face slightly unhappy.

"I'm confident that there is no problem with this fake attack."

After Li Zhe finished speaking, he thought he would hear some extra additions, but Kobe suddenly smiled: "Okay, if you dare to say that, it means that you have thoroughly learned the core skills of this set of movements. I will teach you several other moves."



Two hours passed by, Kobe taught all the fake move skills accumulated in his thirteen years of NBA career.

Li Philosophy was very fast and could learn from one example and learn from it. His guidance gradually evolved into special training.

Kobe showed off his special effect of defensive intensity to play in the finals. At first, Li Zhe was defeated continuously, but gradually he was able to take action. In the end, he became easier to take action and even turned into goals.

When the two found out that it was already 1:00 pm, they quickly finished the special training and left the stadium.

Li Zhe returned to the apartment to take a shower and change clothes. After lunch, he took a rest and took a rest. When he woke up, he hurried to Staples Center.

Los Angeles is already in traffic congestion, and it is approaching Friday's rush hour, and it was originally a twenty-minute drive, but it took more than an hour. When he entered the locker room, it was already 5:40, and the team's video analysis meeting had been held for more than ten minutes.

After changing his jersey in a hurry, he ran to the video hall and happened to encounter the Mavericks' turn to switch defenses.

"Jamie, you're late."

Phil Jackson's voice sounded, Brian Xiao stopped explaining, and the whole team looked at Li Zhe in unison.

"Sorry! The congestion on the road exceeded my expectations."

"It's not the first day you've come to Los Angeles, and that can't be a reason."

"Yes, sorry again."

After Li Zhe said that, she sat down, Phil did not continue to pursue the matter, and Brian Xiao continued to explain.

After a brief analysis, it was concluded that the Mavericks used a large number of joint defense on the defensive end. Chandler guarded the basket at the end of the peak, and then used Marion and Kidd's strong misaligned defense ability to rotate continuously. It looked average, but it was not easy to attack.

When Brian Shaw finished speaking, Phil Jackson walked to the front stage and said that it would be a tough battle against the Mavericks. The entire team must control mistakes on the offensive end. They can create space for attacking through quick passes and running positions. They must be patient and make careful choices.

On the defensive end, because the Mavericks especially like to play high-level double screens and cut out the weak side, so when they prevent pick-and-roll, they must chase the ball holder in time, and when they do not have the ball, they must keep a close eye on their own.

After arranging the main strategy, Phil left casually and Brian Shaw announced the start.

Bynum, Gasol, Arte and Kobe remained unchanged, Fisher returned to the starting lineup, and Li Zhe served as the substitute.

Generally speaking, any NBA team coaching staff needs to notify in advance to remove a starter, because there are many factors such as commercial interests, and some will even explain it, but Brian Shaw does not.

Li Zhe didn't ask, and he was embarrassed to ask, after all, he was late first.

After the meeting, everyone went to the stadium to warm up until only half an hour left before the game.

Li Zhe returned to the locker room and just received a call from Duffy.

"You were removed from the starter?"

Considering that it is inconvenient to chat more in the locker room, Li Zhe only responded with a 'um'.
