262 - Horseback Archery
"Phil, Phil, I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand it anymore." As soon as Ace returned to the bench, he sat pitifully next to the coach and muttered.
"Look, I'm so small and bullied. If you don't send Kobe, I'll go on strike. I was hit by that guy. Look, my feet sprained." Ace tried his best to stretch his arm in front of Phil's face.
'Didn't this guy sprain your ankle? Phil gave Ace a blank look and pushed his arm away. "Next, Kobe will play, with Kobe as the attack point, and the rhythm on the court will be controlled by Ace." Phil also knew that relying on Ace alone, other players could not display their firepower. Others don't know, but Phil still knew that Ace was not 100% shooting percentage during training, and there were also misses under Kobe's oppression and defense.
But Kobe was too tired after playing for 20 minutes. The rumored by the outside world, Ace's three-pointer shot was just an illusion. It was all Ace who worked hard and did not practice those strengths, physical confrontation, and running training every day, he would finish the daily three-point task.
So sometimes Ace's funny or unreasonable tricks on the court Phil just smiled at it. He gave enough patience to players who are talented and willing to work hard, and he was like a child to Ace. No other player dared to joke with him.
Now Sean has gradually become the main force of the team from the edge of the team. It can be seen from his seat that he usually sits next to Kobe, and Phil next to Kobe. The team has also increased the training costs for him, and the personal assistant coach has already arranged for him.
The only thing the team now has is Kobe who has a full-time personal assistant coach. Of course, the center training is Jabbar. It is not that the team does not give Espian, but that this guy doesn't play according to the routine. He doesn't do the so-called training. He just shoots and shoots, and then he doesn't know where to train with other players.
After the whistle in the fourth quarter, all players on both sides came on the court, and it was like the five people who started on both sides. Now the Lakers are 11 points behind the Kings, but the fourth quarter has just begun. Who knows what the ending will be like? The Lakers are not soft persimmons, especially the Kings head coach who was under the three-point rain in that round of Ace was in a big squad and had to send the main players to play with the Lakers' substitute in advance.
Ace smiled bitterly and looked at Artest in front of him and took two steps back to Kobe. Arte also glanced at the other party calling for pick-and-roll. Such a blatant pick-and-roll was just to change the position and defend.
"Scared," Artest said, taking a step back and preparing to bypass Kobe. If you want to change defense, change defense, but I still don't follow your wishes.
Kobe and Bibby ran over at the same time, and the four of them got married and separated in an instant. Just when Artest wanted to continue to mock Ace's move, the basketball was no longer in his hands.
Kobe, who passed by, had already taken the ball and rushed directly to the free throw line. Bibby, who happened to be blocked by Kobe's back, did not notice that Kobe held the ball. He ran two steps next to him before he saw that Kobe had already dribbled through. But he thought of Ace's copy, Kobe also blocked him with one side of his body and directly stopped and made a mid-range shot.
Bibby is not almost stuck on Artest like Ace, and can't stop the breakthrough, at least wastes energy and slows down the rhythm. He didn't notice it at all, so let alone slow down the rhythm. He just watched Kobe come with a textbook-like emergency stop jump shot.

Two points were added to the field, and the score gap suddenly returned to the single digits. Kobe is stable, and his cooperation with Ace is getting more and more tacit. The two of them just had a simple eye contact and completed a cooperation.
In just a few months, the two seemed to have been in the backcourt group for many years. If Ace hadn't just transferred to the Lakers, he wouldn't have seen that the two came from different teams and were training different tactics of passing.
In fact, this is also what Phil values most. He also remembered his conversation with Pat Riley. Ace is a player who is dissolved in the tactical system and travels outside the tactical system. He is a defender who can cooperate with any tactics, but it seems that all tactical systems are cooperating with him.
With Ace's team's relative coaching role seems to be just a substitution microphone. Ace will automatically switch on the court and pass it without the coach asking for a timeout to explain it to everyone.
Since the Lakers are now behind and the Kings have the Princeton style, Ace will certainly not press on the whole game. He hopes that the opponent will play a ball quickly when he comes up, and then the Lakers will grab the rebound and counterattack to shorten the score.
The King seemed to have recognized Artest's point, and Bibby directly passed the ball. At this time, Kobe was defending Artest. Kobe also knew that Ace could not defend him at all. Instead of expecting the King's shooting rate, he would defend. Besides, Phil sent him up to it, which means reducing the team's defensive intensity, and in addition, he had to switch defense with Ace.
Artest is very excited now. He is the first guy to defeat Ace on the court. Now Ace is no longer defending him, and sent Kobe, the absolute superstar in the league, to defend him.
"Have you changed someone? Do you think you can defend me like this?" Artest said proudly and violently broke through Kobe.
Kobe is not the guy Ace is not that tall. He is about the same height as Ate and is not weak in strength. Of course, he has the ability to crack this kind of breakthrough, otherwise he can enter the league's first defensive team every year.
Kobe kept pushing Artest with his shoulders and shoving him with his shoulders. He resisted Artest's impact in just a few steps. As the saying goes, one move will deteriorate and lose all the time. Before he can sprint for the third time, Odom and Kobe have formed a double-team.
The ball was cut off by Kobe, who was quick to use, and then threw it directly into the frontcourt. At this time, Bibi had no chance to pull off his clothes at a short distance, and then he saw Ace rushing out like a little leopard.
When Ace first passed the middle circle, she copied the basketball with one hand, took two steps and stepped outside the three-point line and jumped up directly. Her good ability to stagnate the air almost flew over the free throw line, and made a shot like a horse-riding archery.
Such an exaggerated shot made the referee not know how to calculate the score, so he quickly applied for a timeout and returned to the technical station to watch the video. Seeing that Ace definitely did not step on the three-point line and jumped, he gave a three-point gesture.
Chapter completed!
