Six pull-up jumpers in the first quarter, hitting two of them.

In terms of outside shooting percentage, Kobe's touch was indeed a little "hot."

But including free throws...

Kobe, who scored a total of 13 points for the Lakers in the first quarter, not only didn't affect the Lakers' overall offensive rhythm due to bricklaying,

but also made his subsequent assist-rushing work smoother due to the attacking desire he showed on this night.

So now the question is.

Is changing the shot composition really that magical?

The answer is, it really is that magical.

In fact, this is a very simple math problem.

Because in general, when his physical fitness is good, Kobe will also take 5 to 6 shots in a single quarter... or even more.

So, putting aside free throws, as long as Kobe can shoot three-pointers with a hit rate of over 30%, his scoring efficiency will definitely increase.

This season, people have been praising this Lakers team for regaining their offensive form.

But they forgot that, so far, the Lakers are the team with the highest defensive efficiency per 100 possessions in the NBA.

Therefore, under the premise of being able to constantly obtain transition offense opportunities, Kobe, who increases his outside shots, in addition to obtaining some relatively easier scoring opportunities, if he doesn't make those unreasonable three-pointers, the Lakers only lose a fast break opportunity.

And if it were the usual situation of waiting to settle into position, and Kobe saw that Su Feng hadn't run out of an opportunity, and he chose to attack himself...

Then if he didn't make it, the Lakers would be hit with a fast break by others.

And in that case, the teammates' round-trip running frequency would not only greatly increase, but also, the Lakers' overall offensive and defensive rhythm would be greatly affected.

Without a doubt.

With the continuous increase in age.

Even if you let Kobe play like this now, under the premise of agreeing with Su Feng to create the best NBA record in the new season, Kobe would definitely not do it.

Because some necessary strong attacks are fine...

After all, in the NBA.

No team can guarantee that every attack they make will be completed according to the established tactics.

But in order to get an average of 30+ points per game for a season, resulting in the Lakers losing more than a dozen games...

For this Kobe, who is一心想再拿n个总冠军 (yī xīnkàng zài ná n gè zǒng guànjūn, determined to win several more championships)...

Even if his heart is throbbing, he will try his best to restrain himself.

Huh?

You say that such a Kobe is not very Kobe?

No...

That's just because you have never really understood Kobe.

Humanity is the most complex and unpredictable thing in this world.

So from the moment he decided to invite Su Feng to Los Angeles with Kupchak and Little Buss, even if his mouth was as hard as ever, Kobe had already quietly undergone some wonderful chemical reactions.

In the second quarter, after resting for half a quarter, Kobe went on the court and took four more snipes.

Tonight, in the first half, out of the 24 three-pointers made by the Lakers as a team, Su Feng and Kobe accounted for 19 of them.

In fact.

With the continuous changes in the NBA version, "Harden-style shooting structure" never refers to profiting through free throws.

It's just that some people who have no feelings for Harden can't wait to jump out and start a meeting when they hear the name Harden.

In Su Feng's previous life, including the future European king Luka Dončić.

In fact, his shooting structure can also be called "Harden-style structure."

That is, in the player's total number of shots, three-pointers account for about half of the proportion.

And the popularity of the "Harden-style shooting structure"...

You can even trace it back to the two years when Stephen Curry in Su Feng's memory continuously won the NBA regular season MVP.

In the 14/15 season, Stephen Curry's average number of shots was 16.8, and his average number of three-point shots was 8.1.

In the 15/16 season, Stephen Curry's average number of shots increased to 20.2, and his average number of three-point shots even increased to an astonishing 11.2.

Although in the NBA, not everyone can be like Su Feng and Curry, maintaining a hit rate of more than 40% on blind three-pointers all year round.

But for scorers like Kobe and Dončić, this shooting structure is not impossible to learn from.

Because putting aside Curry's average number of shots...

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why Curry rarely gave people a feeling of being "selfish" was precisely because this shooting structure, in addition to making you feel that he had already taken so many shots, as long as you can guarantee a certain hit rate, it will even play a very positive role for the team's overall offense.

As everyone knows.

Modern basketball emphasizes space when attacking.

But if you don't throw, I don't shoot...

Then where does this space come from?

In Su Feng's previous life, there was a joke about Curry that said, as long as I shoot fast enough, you won't feel that I'm bricklaying.

Admittedly, this joke is not funny.

But it reveals the truth of this 'Curry/Harden-style shooting structure'.

And as the theoretical originator of this shooting structure, tonight, Billups also appeared on the sidelines to explain to his teammates, who obviously felt that Su Feng and Kobe had taken so many shots, but they couldn't feel these two iron men frantically bricklaying on the court: "An NBA game is 48 minutes long.

And in general, a team's average number of shots will be around eighty or ninety.

So in the past, in the eyes of NBA coaches, the best way to improve a team's score was to improve the players' hit rate through the most advanced tactics.

But Su's appearance changed all of this.

As early as during the Pistons period, I suggested to Doug (Rivers) that we shouldn't be obsessed with whether the team can make this attack.

Instead, we should focus on how many shots the team can take in a 48-minute game."

In Su Feng's previous life, Billups, whose career hit rate was only 41.5%, was definitely an out-and-out blacksmith in the eyes of most people.

But if you know Billups' career true shooting percentage...

Then you would never say that Billups is a blacksmith.

58%.

Because in Billups' shooting structure, three-pointers accounted for half of his shots, so whether in the eyes of NBA experts or senior fans, Billups has never been a guard with a very selfish style of play, who likes to dominate the ball and shooting rights.

"In the past, in the NBA, most coaches didn't allow shooting when the two teams' formations were not yet stable, taking advantage of the opponent's defensive attention not being focused in the first time.

Because in the past NBA coaches' cognition, basketball was a round-based sport where both sides set up their formations, you play one round, I play one round.

But after Su overturned people's cognition back then...

The pace of NBA games seemed to have accelerated by a century overnight.

Because in theory, since the purpose of playing tactics in basketball is to find shooting opportunities for scorers.

Then why can't I speed up and seize this defensive gap that the opponent can't take care of in the first time to attack?"

Looking at his teammates, Billups continued.

And now...

On my Lakers' bench, except for coach Long who was thoughtful, everyone else was confused at this moment.

"Tonight, Kobe and Su's three-point shots were mostly taken when catching transition offense.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter if this kind of ball doesn't go in.

Because this was originally an opportunity that was snatched.

I don't know if you have noticed...

Tonight, in the first half of the game, our number of shots was a full twenty times more than the Trail Blazers." Pointing to the number of shots taken by the two teams in the technical statistics, Billups said.

And looking at the comparison of the team's number of shots in the half, 58 to 38, Long Duo said after thinking for a while: "I understand what you mean, Chauncey.

Because by snatching shots, we have inadvertently accelerated the rhythm of this game.

Plus, Su and Kobe have taken a large number of three-pointers from the outside, causing the Trail Blazers' defense to continue to expand outward...

So we have also gained a lot of offensive opportunities in the paint.

Therefore, even if we look like we are playing randomly tonight...

In fact, the trend of this game has already invisibly favored us!"

Hearing this, Billups was overjoyed.

Because in the NBA, Billups has always felt that not many people can understand what he is saying.

"It's still that question.

If a game is 48 minutes long.

If a team is in good form, its overall shooting percentage can reach 50%.

Then, under the premise of taking eighty shots, including free throws, scoring over a hundred is already considered completing the offensive task assigned to you by the coach.

But what if we can find a way to increase our number of shots in these 48 minutes to one hundred?" Patting Long Duo on the shoulder, Billups smiled.

Long Duo nodded and said: "Then even if our overall shooting percentage is not as good as the opponent, because in order to grab these one hundred shots, we will inevitably have to increase outside shooting..."

Billups smiled slightly and said: "Then even if the opponent's tactics are played better, we can completely overwhelm the opponent on offense."

Long Duo continued: "And... based on our current defense..."

Billups added for him: "There are only a handful of teams that can take eighty shots in front of us and still guarantee a hit rate."

Long Duo was shocked and said: "I feel like I have glimpsed the essence of basketball!"

Billups concluded: "Maybe this kind of thinking may not necessarily work in the playoffs.

But in the relatively long regular season, this way of playing is not only effortless, but also increases our lower limit."

"In addition, in the playoffs, I don't think anyone can compare with Su and Kobe in terms of experience." After a pause, Billups continued to finish his summary.

And so far...

The real purpose of why Su Feng wanted Kobe to complete the super evolution...

Has also been restored by Billups and Long Duo.

It's just...

Because Kobe is Kobe after all.

So even in the NBA, profiting through free throws is something that basically every star has enjoyed.

Su Feng also knew very well that Kobe was destined to not be able to catch up with Master Harden in this specialty of one-point shots.

Huh?

You said that in the NBA, only Harden's free throw profit is illegitimate, and other stars rely on their own hand-to-hand combat?

One black and one black.

Saying that can only prove that you have never watched the NBA at all, and don't know why the "superstar whistle" is called the "superstar whistle."

In Su Feng's previous life, why was Crawford called the Lakers' designated famous whistle, Kobe's exclusive bodyguard?

Because...

In this treacherous world of the NBA, in addition to these stars having flaws in their personality and character, when you unilaterally subjectively believe that they are all perfect idols, you are destined to not be able to see the cruel essence of this league.

In the famous 2k game.

Why is making fouls listed as a separate attribute?

Because making fouls itself is a skill that NBA stars must learn to protect themselves.

So in the 21st century, only Harden can make fouls, and other stars can't make this sentence...

It can't be described with NT anymore.

Because this is clearly a sentence thrown out by Harden's fans to smear other stars, but it was taken seriously by brain-dead Harden haters.

What is a fair fight?

Do you really think that these durable NBA stars dare to step onto the court without any "black technology"?

Then where did Jordan and Malone's iron elbows in the 90s, and Kobe and Artest's "elbow look" come from?

In this life, Su Feng's most annoying thing is those brain-dead fans who blow their favorite stars into perfect idols.

Because he, who has dealt with these stars, knows very well...

In this league, there has never been anyone who is perfect, proud and immortal.

"A fever of 40 degrees must persist in the game", "Fighting to the last moment with the enemy even with injuries"...

Wake up!

Competitive sports are not a meal circle.

And don't bring your meal circle set to competitive sports.

In competitive sports, the winner is king, the loser is the bandit, that's all!

To put it bluntly.

The reason why Su Feng knows that Kobe cannot catch up with Harden in this unique skill of one-point shots.

It's never because Kobe can't make fouls, nor is it because Kobe is strong and disdains making fouls.

Because if Kobe can't make fouls, then who judged his average of 10 free throws per game during the peak of his career?

And if Kobe really has such a good physique, able to rely on his flesh to fight for an average of 10 free throws per game...

I'm afraid that before he can restore the Lakers' second dynasty.

He would already be lying in bed.

Su Feng knows very well.

Always know very well.

Because he has been with Kobe for more than ten years, he understands this silly guy's game tendencies, and also understands this silly guy's style of play...

So unlike those who blow for the sake of blowing, and black for the sake of black.

He knows that the reason why Kobe can't catch up with Harden in this unique skill of one-point shots is never a brain-dead "this point is stinky, I don't want it"...

But this guy's game tendencies and his style characteristics determine that, why should he bother to worry about things that can be solved with a beautiful shot?

Staples Center, third quarter, after getting enough assists, Kobe immediately began his pull-up jumper performance on the outside.

Let's repeat the old saying.

Why is Kobe suitable for the "Harden-style shooting structure"?

Because in addition to being able to make fouls.

When Kobe wants to attack strongly on the outside...

Even at the age of 34, you can only limit and interfere, but not make him unable to even make a shot.

Like Su Feng.

Kobe also maxed out his "forced shot" talent points.

This night, the Trail Blazers' three veterans were destined to be tragic.

Because in such a game that requires high-speed rotation...

They, who have been passively running back and forth, far surpassed the Lakers in terms of running distance, who are actively running back and forth.

In the third quarter, Kobe took a total of 7 snipes outside the three-point line.

In addition, in the hand-to-hand combat with Carter, Kobe also successfully made Carter feel how iron Crawford, a hardcore Lakers fan, really is.

And although...

Different from Harden's kind of making fouls that if I want a free throw, you must let me go to the free throw line...

But under the premise that all 50-50 balls are in favor of the Lakers...

Kobe on this night can be said to have made the Trail Blazers players angry and annoyed.

Because you say you didn't foul...

When Kobe put up his elbow and rushed in, you did have physical contact with Kobe.

But if you say that all the balls are fouls...

It seems that in some of the balls, the Trail Blazers players didn't completely touch Kobe.

And after gradually adapting to the penalty scale of the game...

Aside...

Su Feng couldn't help but admire Kobe's "dedication" when making fouls.

You may not believe it.

In the third quarter, even though the Trail Blazers players had been driven to anger by Crawford...

But in front of the TV, at the scene, a large number of Lakers fans and Kobe fans were still angry at the Trail Blazers players' too fierce scrambling on the court.

So...

Why is Kobe Kobe?

Because even if it is making fouls.

He also has to make it in the most handsome way.

"Although Carter and Kobe are good friends.

But tonight, Carter's shots are really cruel!" CCTV, when Kobe was sent to the free throw line by Carter again in the third quarter, Zhang Zhidao said.

What is making fouls in the most fierce and handsome way?

Staples Center.

Looking at Kobe, who was getting better and better, Su Feng felt that Kobe really understood how to play with the fans.

And on the court, as this game officially entered garbage time after three quarters.

Kobe's technical statistics for this game were finally frozen at 36 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Kobe, who took a total of 20 shots in the game, only hit 8 of them, but because 17 of his shots were from the outside...

So including free throws...

Kobe's true shooting percentage on this night reached an astonishing 66.6%.

Moreover, this was under the premise that he only made 6 of 17 three-pointers on this night.

In addition, thanks to the space Kobe helped him create.

After three quarters, Su Feng also scored 35 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 assists for the Lakers with an ultra-high hit rate of 12 of 16 shots, including free throws.

The three-quarter joint scored 71 points, 25 rebounds, and 14 assists.

Online, when many Maple black and Kobe black who came after hearing the news wanted to say that Kobe and Su Feng were playing so selfishly, what should their other teammates do...

For a time, they were stunned.

Because on this night, after the first three quarters, the Lakers' team score reached an astonishing 109 points.

Are the Lakers' other teammates unhappy?

No...

I'm afraid the opposite is true.

In the final quarter, when the camera gave a close-up of Little Gasol, Little Jordan, Green, Long Duo and others on the sidelines...

Where can you see that they are unhappy?

Although the offensive rebounds in this game were given to Su Feng and Kobe.

But Little Gasol and Little Jordan grabbed 4 and 5 offensive rebounds respectively.

And in terms of scoring, Little Gasol also scored 15 points by picking up leaks.

As for Long Zhidao, who is not good at scoring...

Even more because the middlemen reduced the number of times they earned the difference, he achieved a double-digit assist achievement for the first time in the new season.

Without a doubt.

After this game, Kobe, who has completed the super evolution, will become the tactical core of the Lakers in the future.

And in the summer, because he represented the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games...

So Su Feng, who was already lacking rest, can also rest assured to paddle for a period of time...

Wait until next year, and then welcome those opponents who are妄图 (wàngtú, attempting) to use the "air conditioning tactics" to kill him in full power mode.

Not blowing or black.

As long as Su Feng is given one or two months to paddle.

Then at that time...

I'm afraid that before his opponents take the initiative to turn off the air conditioner, he will take the initiative to smash the air conditioner!

"Come on! This month, your goal is me during my Heat period!

I believe you can definitely do it!" Su Feng, who took the initiative to give Kobe extra food after the game with the Trail Blazers, smiled.

And hearing this, Kobe, who was eating pizza, also smiled and said: "Don't worry, just watch my performance next!"
