Kobe: Catch and Shoot!

Kobe: Catch and Shoot! - LA Lakers coach, Byron Scott, has a number of plans against Kobe Bryant this season. Started by trying to play Kobe in the position of small forward instead of shooting guard who has become its flagship position almost throughout his career. Then, Scott will also restrict the hours playing basketball player, Philadelphia-born 37 years ago.

The style of play of Kobe will also tend to change from usual. Now, he doesn't have to handle the ball as much as he used to. Kobe will more acts as a swingman, which in theory would reduce the potential for collisions with opposing players so it has space to shoot the ball. "I don't need to make handling the ball too much. I just need time to catch and shoot the ball, "said Kobe.

As we know, the condition of Kobe is not primed like 10 or 15 years ago. The body of the Black Mamba is now very vulnerable to injury so changed the role and style of the game is going to be a very appropriate decision. Plus now the Lakers have had a duet of young guard who can assist and facilitate performance of Kobe in the field. They are Jordan Clarkson and D'Angelo Russells.

"These kids (Clarkson and Russells) capable of handling the ball well and make decisions in the field, as well as being able to set up the game. They are able to make things easier, "said Kobe.
