God of NBA point guards

Chapter 527 Am I already that old?
"Kobe, good luck to you."

Seeing Kobe appear, Vanessa stood up and walked over, and the two hugged each other.

She didn't say hello to O'Neal and the others because her relationship with Kobe didn't seem to be supported by everyone, including Kobe's teammates and Kobe's family.

Kobe's family looked down upon her, and Kobe's teammates, including the Lakers management, believed that her relationship with Kobe would distract him from his energy.

"Vanessa, I will defeat Iron Fist." Kobe said confidently.

At this time, the home team came on the stage, and huge cheers rang out in the Central Gymnasium, which finally turned into shouts of "Iron Fist King".

Zhou Quan fist-bumped and hugged his teammates, management, boss Ballmer, and the assassins. He was about to warm up when he saw Kobe talking to a girl, so he went over and said, "Kobe, why don't you introduce me?"

He had seen news about Kobe and Vanessa from the media, and also seen photos of Vanessa, so naturally he had some impressions.

Kobe quickly introduced: "Oh, okay, Iron Fist, this is Vanessa. Vanessa..."

"Hello, Vanessa." Zhou Quan smiled.

"Hello Iron Fist King, I am your fan. I watched your ice hockey game live when I was 7 years old. My father took me there." Vanessa said excitedly.

"7 years old?"

Zhou Quan was confused, am I already that old?
……

At 08:30, the game officially started.

O'Neal and Campbell jumped the ball and the Lakers attacked.

Kobe Bryant ran to the right wing, Glen Rice ran to the left wing, and Ron Harper advanced through the middle with the ball.

AC Green is old, his shooting ability has declined, and his range of activities has been reduced a lot. His role is to rebound and defend, to play secondary offenses, or to defend O'Neal on the edge of the paint area to prevent opponents from double-teaming O'Neal.

After the game started, he came to the low post and moved outside the right waist without entering the paint area.

O'Neal, from the free throw, will run directly to the basket.

But Ben Wallace was ahead and immediately started to defend. The two collided, he was stopped, and Ben Wallace was also knocked back a step.

But the next second, when he was about to move downward again, Ben Wallace stepped forward again, and the confrontation happened again.

There is Campbell nearby, just one step away from him, less than two meters away, guarding the left waist, seemingly marking AC Green, but with one eye on him.

"damn it!"

Cursing secretly, it seemed that the SuperSonics would not let him get into the basket easily today. He immediately bypassed Ben Wallace and ran to the left wing to regain position there.

At this time, Ron Harper advanced to the top of the arc, saw O'Neal running towards the low left wing, and immediately passed the ball to Glen Rice on the left wing three-point line.

Glenn Rice, who was facing the top of the arc, pressed Bowen with his left elbow and caught the ball with his right hand. By this time, O'Neal had reached the low post on the left wing. He quickly passed the ball down and then ran to the left corner.

As soon as Campbell saw the right midfielder, he immediately dropped AC Green, ran to the low left wing, and implemented a weak-side double-team.

O'Neal pushed Ben Wallace with his left elbow and caught the ball with his right hand. He saw Campbell's weak-side defense. Campbell got behind Ben Wallace in two steps and then pounced from the upper side.

He immediately responded, and a sensitive shark turned around, first shook up, and then suddenly turned and slipped.

"not good!"

Campbell secretly thought that he was double-teaming in the wrong direction and quickly stopped and turned around.

Ben Wallace was also shaken by O'Neal's upward swing, then quickly turned around, moved laterally towards the basket, and touched O'Neal's right hand.

But with his size and height, when he loses his frontal defensive position, he can no longer guard O'Neal.

When O'Neal turned and slipped, he dribbled the ball with his left hand once, then put the ball together with both hands, then blocked Ben Wallace with his right elbow on the upper side, and burst out with the ball in his left hand.

"boom!"

During the one-handed dunk, the basket frame shook up and down amidst the violent slamming of the basket.

"Oh hoo!"

"Shh!"

Two thousand visiting fans cheered loudly, which was then drowned out by boos from the home fans.

Amid the shocking boos, the Sonics' counterattack has begun.

Ben Wallace immediately retreated to the baseline after picking up the ball and passed it to Campbell. Campbell then passed the ball to Barry in the high post. Neither O'Neal nor Green had time to stop it.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan crossed the midline and received a pass from Barry.

Kobe was half a step behind, on his right back side. After catching the ball, he immediately made a small change to the right, deliberately occupying Kobe's front position.

Kobe passively slowed down, and he accelerated towards the basket. When Kobe accelerated again, he was already one and a half steps behind and could no longer catch up.

"boom!"

Taking a step into the penalty area from the left elbow area, he took off, holding the ball in his right hand and holding it high. The moment he pulled his body back, it rebounded forward. The moment he slashed down with the ax, the Lakers' basket was exploded.

"Oh hoo!"

Thousands of people rose to their feet, and huge cheers flooded the central stadium.

"Kobe Bryant's speed is not as fast as Zhou Quan's, and Zhou Quan's quick counterattacks. SuperSonics' fast-paced offense and defense will be a great weapon to consume Shark O'Neal's physical strength." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"O'Neal has just returned to the midline, and now he is running back. His physical energy will be greatly consumed in this kind of return run." Xu Jicheng added.

The Lakers attack.

O'Neal once again tried to go directly to the basket.

Ben Wallace still defended with all his strength, and the strong confrontation between them began when O'Neal was still above the free throw line.

Although O'Neal has a large tonnage, his bench press strength is not as good as that of Ben Wallace. If there is no impact force, it will be difficult for him to squeeze the opponent in a head-to-head muscle confrontation. Even if he squeezes, it will consume a lot of physical energy, so for He is not interested in this kind of confrontation without the ball.

"O'Neal once again failed to get a position under the basket. He canceled the confrontation and went to the left low post again." Laimbeer said.

"Shark's physical energy cannot be expended in the confrontation with Ben Wallace. Obviously, the SuperSonics intend to expend his physical energy in every important position. The SuperSonics can lose a Ben Wallace. But the Lakers can't afford to lose the Sharks' strength," Bill Walton said.

As soon as Kobe saw O'Neal going to the low post on the left wing, he immediately ran from the right wing to the left wing.

Ron Harper had handed the ball to Glen Rice on the left wing and when he saw Kobe running towards him, he immediately ran to the right wing.

Kobe ran to the left wing through the top of the arc and passed behind Glen Rice. The two passed the ball hand in hand, and then Glen Rice immediately ran towards the top of the arc.

Zhou Quan got in front of Kobe in time. Kobe grabbed the ball with both hands and placed it on his right rib, not daring to grab the ball with one hand.

Stretching out his right hand, Zhou Quan used the eye-sealing technique. The huge palm completely covered Kobe's small face, and Kobe instantly lost his vision.

"Snapped!"

In the next moment, Zhou Quan moved his left foot forward, and his left hand shot toward the ball, knocking the basketball out of Kobe's hand.

Kobe didn't expect Zhou Quan's move and hurriedly turned around to block Zhou Quan and regain control of the ball, but Zhou Quan directly squeezed him away with his stronger confrontation ability.

"Oh, the ball was stolen! The Iron Fist King grabbed the ball, his hands were too fast, he was going down quickly..." The roar of the on-site commentator Henem Chrisman immediately sounded.Kobe chased Zhou Quan's right back, pulling and pulling with his left hand, but the referee was running aside. He didn't dare to make too big a move and only tried once, so he couldn't slow down Zhou Quan.

The speed of Zhou Quan was getting faster and faster. After killing the middle line, he led Kobe one step, and killed the ball at full speed.

Glenn Rice returned to defense from the top of the arc. The 33-year-old veteran failed to successfully return to defense even though he was closer to the basket.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan entered the penalty area from the right elbow area and hit a flying dunk, which once again detonated the Central Gymnasium.

"2:4, Zhou Quan sent a steal and scored 4 points in a row." Zhang Lili said happily.

Xu Jicheng said: "Kobe wants to attack under Zhou Quan's defense or pass the ball to O'Neal. I think it will be difficult with his current strength.

I think his current strength is still not up to Jordan's level before he retired.Director Zhang, what do you think? "

Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "Jordan retired after winning his fourth championship in 98. At the age of 35, he averaged 34 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the playoffs. In that finals, he averaged 33.5 points per game. The current Kobe Bryant is indeed not up to that level. That level, and it’s a long way off.”

On the court, Ron Harper held the ball to the top of the arc, Kobe ran to the left wing, and Glenn Rice went to the right wing.

At this time, O'Neal was squeezing toward the basket from the low post on the left wing, so Harper did not pass the ball to Kobe who wanted the ball immediately.

The previous two attacks failed to get into position under the basket. O'Neal was very determined to get into position under the basket this time, regardless of physical strength. He could not let Ben Wallace, a dwarf who was not drafted in the draft, block him.

Ben Wallace felt like a giant elephant was pushing against him. He tried his best, but the difference in tonnage was too great, and he was still pushed back step by step.

O'Neal's tonnage is over 140 kilograms, or even over 145 kilograms. Due to his height, his tonnage can only be kept at 110 kilograms. The tonnage difference is too big.

O'Neal worked hard and finally got close to the basket, then put his left elbow on Ben Wallace and raised his right hand to ask for the ball.

From the high post, Barry Jr. waved his arms to block Harper's downward passing angle, forcing Harper to take a step back and pass the ball to O'Neal with a lob.

"Teaming!"

shouted Paul Westphal from the sidelines.

Campbell in the right waist position reached the basket in two steps, and Barry in the high post also rushed down. Together with Ben Wallace, the Sonics used a three-person double team.

奥尼尔刚刚接到球，坎贝尔和小巴里都到了身前，但他根本没有任何传球的念头，双手将球在头顶一合，然后以左脚为轴强行转身，下一刻，超音速的篮下People have rolled up.

Ben Wallace was knocked away, Campbell was knocked over directly, and Barry Jr. put his hand on O'Neal's arm and was thrown to the ground. Two of the three fell.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew.

"boom!"

At the same time as the whistle sounded, O'Neal dunked hard with both hands, and the SuperSonics basket was sunk by more than a foot.

"Oh hoo!"

"Shh!"

The Central Gymnasium was beaten silently by the big shark's deduction, and then the cheers of the two thousand visitors fans and the booing of the home team fans.

"This animal!"

Zhou Quan and Bowen quickly ran over and pulled up Barry and Campbell.

"Big Mac! A real Big Mac. As long as O'Neal gets the ball under the basket, no one can stop him from scoring. It's useless for five people to play together. If he has unlimited physical fitness, the Lakers will only use one tactic. It can sweep everything." Bill Walton shook his head in admiration.

"Big monster! This big monster can become the most powerful center of that era in any era." Laimbeer couldn't help but admired when he saw O'Neal's attack.

"Hoohoo!"

O'Neill was so excited that he shouted at Monster Zhou Quan.

"What the hell, after three consecutive sweeps and only two goals scored, have you transformed into Rain Man?" Zhou Quan said angrily.

"Don't ask me to triple sweep!" O'Neill said angrily.

"Keep guarding him like this and draining his energy." Zhou Quan ignored O'Neal and even said to Ben Wallace and others in front of him.

He is not afraid to let O'Neal know the Sonics' attrition tactics against him, because this is a conspiracy.

Hearing Zhou Quan's words, O'Neal's fat face twitched, and while walking towards the free throw line, he muttered: "If you ask me to swipe three times in a row again, I will fall out."

"Ha ha!"

The referee called Ben Wallace a blocking foul, and O'Neal actually hit the extra free throw, and he burst into laughter.

5:4, supersonic attack.

Zhou Quan advanced with the ball in the middle, and Kobe defended.

"SuperSonics' first positional battle, let's see how Zhou Quan fights." Zhang Lili said.

"Kobe's defense is also very good now. He has defended for a while, but he is not yet 22 years old. Zhou Quan is also in his second season and was selected as a first defense player in 93. He is over 21 years old, almost the same as Kobe." Xu Jicheng said.

"Jordan at his peak couldn't guard Zhou Quan, and Kobe, who has not yet reached his peak, certainly couldn't guard him either." Zhang Lili said very directly.

"That's right." Xu Jicheng nodded.

When I came to the top of the arc, Zhou Quan asked casually: "Kobe, how much is your tonnage?"

"It's a secret."

As Kobe said this, he stretched out his hand to cover Zhou Quan's face, trying to imitate Zhou Quan's method of stealing the ball. After covering his face, he immediately stepped forward with his left foot, preparing to steal the ball.

However, his hand was not as big as Zhou Quan's and did not completely cover Zhou Quan's face. Zhou Quan's eyes immediately caught sight of his left foot stepping forward.

The next moment, Zhou Quan suddenly turned around and passed by.

"Oops!"

Kobe poked an empty hole and knew something was wrong.

Zhou Quan surpassed Kobe Bryant, reached the top of the left arc in one step, then took off with the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

"Beautiful! Kobe took a risky steal and lost position. Zhou Quan made an open jumper and hit a three-pointer. The offense was quite easy." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Zhou Quan scored 7 points in a row, and all three attacks were scored. It is now 5:7, and the SuperSonics lead by two points. Zhou Quan will make a beautiful start every time he starts." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

"Kobe, I'll give you a preview next time." Zhou Quan said to Kobe when he was retreating from defense.

"Hell's warning!"

Kobe, who failed three times on defense, was dissatisfied.
