Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 127 Bell's Transformation

In the offensive round of the Lakers, Kobe continued to back Bell.

Bell's mentality has completely changed at this time. From the hard defense at the beginning, to the realization that hard work can't stop him, and then Kobe asked for anything on top of his head. He began to doubt his defensive ability constantly, and his mentality was also unbalanced, which led to There is also a problem with the offense. The offense cannot be opened, the mentality becomes frizzy again, and the defense becomes very impatient. This vicious circle makes the more we play on the court, the more embarrassing we become.

At this moment, Kobe's back was facing Bell, and both left and right were feinting. Even he himself didn't expect that Bell would be sent flying like this.

Surprised, Kobe has rich experience after all, he directly turned left and shot a jump shot, the empty front, without the slightest interference.

"Shh!"

With a sound, the ball obediently rolled into the net bag. This was already his seventh goal in this game, and the game started less than 7 minutes ago.

Bell seemed a little numb. Seeing Kobe's goal, he shook his head angrily, and then ran to the frontcourt.

"beep!"

Perhaps because the gap reached Kobe's extremely hot state, D'Antoni called a timeout in time.

"Wait for Mellor to get to the free throw line, Nene and Camby come over and do two double pick-and-rolls..." D'Antoni took out a tactical board and drew on it while arranging tactics.

"Laja will mention the 45-degree angle later to attract the opponent's perimeter defense, do you understand?" D'Antoni said habitually.

Usually at this time, the players who were called would nod their heads or open their mouths to reveal that they heard it, but after D'Antoni said this, Bell lowered his head half-eyed, looking like he was lost.

"Raja?" D'Antoni thought that Bell was distracted, and reminded him, but Bell still didn't hear it, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Raja?" D'Antoni's face was not very good, and he shouted with a heavier tone.

At this time, Barry, who was standing behind Bell, poked Bell secretly, and then he came back to his senses. He wanted to turn around to see who poked him, but when he looked up and saw D'Antoni's sullen expression, he said with some confusion : "Teach... coach?"

"When you get to this position later, attract people..." D'Antoni continued patiently. Although Bell's current state is not good, there is no one in his hands. It is estimated that Barry's old bone was taken directly by Kobe. Playing as a stake, as for Korver, forget it...

"Yeah." Bell nodded, didn't say anything, and didn't know if he listened or not.

Anthony looked at Bell. He had reminded Bell twice before, but the latter's state made him not only disappointed, but also annoyed. This did not coincide with the defensive gate he remembered at all, and he could even feel it Bell is giving up bit by bit.

He had to do something.

D'Antoni had just finished talking about tactics, and there was still a little time for the timeout. Anthony suddenly walked up to Bell and asked loudly, "Raja, do you want to win?"

Anthony's sudden move attracted the attention of other Nuggets players and the coaching staff including D'Antoni.

"Me... Melo?" Bell raised his head in an obedient manner.

"You still have Kobe's provocative words in the player tunnel, do you know why he said that?" Anthony said, staring at Bell with piercing eyes.

"He is a veteran, and we are rookies. That is a way of greeting a veteran to a rookie. I have seen it before." After all, Bell has been in the league for several years, and it is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.

Anthony nodded, then shook his head again: "Kobe is a very competitive player. This is not a routine for him. He only does this for one purpose, and that is to make you feel scared. Do you understand the fear? A player is on the court What is the most important thing in the world, not strength, not skills and tactics..."

Anthony said, pointing to the position of his heart, and said more loudly: "It's here, it's confidence. Confidence is the most important thing that determines a player's value. Kobe dared to run over and talk to us like that because he has confidence. Confidence defeats us, he is not afraid of any opponent, even if the opponent he faces is stronger than him, he will never admit defeat, even if he is facing the peak Michael now, I think he will not back down, you understand what I mean mean?"

"But I can't prevent..." Bell hesitated to speak.

"Do you want to be the focus of attention like Kobe?" Anthony asked.

"I..." Bell hesitated, and finally nodded, "I want to..."

"Then believe in yourself, even if you can't do well, you still have to believe in yourself. Kobe made three consecutive shots in the playoffs, but he was still alive and well in the next game, not because of how strong he was. At that time Kobe Bryant is not much better than you, but he dared to do it, and he never backed down in the face of any opponent, so he has achieved what he is today."

"beep!"

The whistle on the sidelines has sounded, and it's time for a timeout.

"Now your strength may not be as good as Kobe..." Anthony did not stop talking, and the Nuggets players were not in a hurry to play. They were unconsciously attracted by Anthony's words and surrounded him.

"But if you don't even have the courage to challenge and defeat Kobe, can you become the next Kobe? And, don't you really think about defeating Kobe? Put you on the same level as him, challenge him, Then defeat him and step on his figure to prove that you are better than him?"

Anthony said a few words, and Bell who asked was speechless. From the beginning, he did not put himself on the same level as Kobe. All he thought and did was to try his best to defend Kobe. He tried harder with one breath, but when Kobe's explosive touch made his defense riddled with holes, his psychological defense also collapsed.

"Just this time, you try to be another Kobe, a defensive Kobe, use your strength, use your confidence to beat the real Kobe, and if you do, you will be another Kobe, different, but the same as Kobe Dazzling yourself, believe me!"

After Anthony finished the last sentence, he looked at Bell with piercing eyes. If this is not enough, he may have to give up. Perhaps because of the butterfly effect, the Bell in front of him is no longer the Bell in his memory.

"Kobe on the defensive end." Bell murmured what Anthony said, with a strange look in his eyes. He seemed to have found a repositioning of himself at once, and finally looked at Anthony and nodded vigorously, "I will , I will definitely become the person you said."

Seeing the flashing look in Bell's eyes, Anthony smiled gratifiedly and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, Bell regained his confidence in his heart. As for the performance on the field, it depends on his own ability.

At this time, the Lakers players had already appeared on the court. Anthony and the Nuggets players dawdled off the court for more than half a minute. After reaching out their hands for a morale boosting gesture, they also appeared on the court.

"Ervin, what did I see Melo seem to be communicating with the Nuggets players just now?" Brown saw the Nuggets players who came on the field later, and turned his head to communicate with Johnson.

"The Nuggets are in a disadvantageous situation now. Melo should be encouraging his teammates. Although he is a rookie, he has become the leader of the team since the first game. Now he is slowly I have also learned to do what a leader should do." Johnson looked at Anthony with love in his eyes.

"That kid named Raja seems to be..." Brown looked at Bell at this time, and the mental outlook of the latter turned out to be completely different from before.

After the timeout, the Nuggets attacked. At this time, the score between the two sides was 12:20, and the Lakers held an 8-point lead.

The Nuggets started running according to D'Antoni's timeout request. Anthony used Camby and Nene's pick-and-roll in the three-second zone to successfully get rid of the defender and ran out of space at a 45-degree angle on the right wing.

Miller, who was holding the ball from the outside, raised his hand and was about to pass the ball, but at this moment, Kobe sensed the Nuggets' offensive style, and suddenly thrust in, blocking Miller and Anthony, blocking the gap between them. passing route.

The moment Miller was about to pass the ball, he had already stopped. Kobe's prediction was a bit unexpected, but he didn't stop the movement of his hand, and flicked the ball directly to the right.

Bryant's touchdown set off another chain of events, as Bell was open at a 45-degree angle on the right wing, and now Miller's pass went straight to him.

When Kobe saw Miller's pass, he also retracted his body, but his hand was waving upwards. His intention seemed to be more to block the route of Bell's pass to Anthony. He had previously witnessed Bell's anger. After scoring an open three-pointer, he subconsciously felt that Bell was probably going to pass the ball to Anthony.

But there is a saying that things are unpredictable. Just when Kobe thought that Bell was going to pass the ball and at least stop the ball for a while, he didn't expect Bell to jump up and shoot after receiving the ball.

When Kobe saw Bell's shot, his first reaction was to turn around and grab the rebound. He didn't think that Bell, who felt cold, would suddenly call.

But reality was cruel and slapped him in the face again.

"Shh!"

Bell's three-pointer fell hollow, and the clear sound echoed in Kobe's ears. He felt an unbelievable feeling for a while, but it was only a moment. After many battles, he quickly returned to normal. The color in his eyes burned with a stronger fighting spirit than before.

This is Kobe, the stronger the opponent, the stronger he will become.

At this time, after Kobe asked for the ball in the frontcourt, his eyes were burning with Bell, who had just hit a three-pointer. Bell's eyes were also full of fighting spirit at this time, and he didn't even belong to Kobe in terms of momentum.

A flaming sharp sword faced an equally unyielding shield, and no one showed any weakness.
