no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 100 The progress bar is full

"Provoking Jordan is not a wise thing to do."

That's the conclusion everyone on the other teams came to when Jordan was still in the league.

The reason is that Jordan's talent and strength were already out of date in the NBA at that time.

When he says he is number one, he will never be like a bunch of people in the future who will argue that he is not worthy of being number one.

Moreover, Jordan's character, which can also be felt in the intersection with Xu Yong, belongs to the type of revenge.

It may not be a good thing for this kind of person to irritate him on the court.

Kobe, who behaves very much like Jordan on the court, seems like they are the same type of person.

But Xu Yong can fully feel that they are completely different after contact off the court.

The desire to win that Kobe showed on the court was a strict requirement for himself, not his nature.

And because of Kobe's talent, even if he is No. 1 in the league, it is difficult for him to dominate the game at Jordan's level.

These two factors will at some point prompt Kobe to become very independent.

That's right, alone.

Because of Kobe's passing, fans will no longer mention this word out of respect.

But in fact, [Tri-Iron Tetroxide] [Milan Little Blacksmith] [Listen to the boss playing] [Kobe Collection.

Kobe prefers to believe in himself, which is his state after being irritated.

So Xu Yong is not worried about angering Kobe, he even hopes to anger Kobe.

Because Gasol is not here tonight and the rest of the Lakers are unable to give Kobe enough support due to state issues, it is the right thing to consume Kobe.

Kobe, after all, is 31 years old.

Ever since, the fans witnessed the scene where Kobe and Xu Yong scored points against each other.

Although on the scene, Kobe is obviously better, but Xu Yong's newborn calf's temperament of not being afraid of tigers is also very impressive.

At halftime, the score was 43-50.

Kobe scored 20 points in the second quarter and had already scored 30 points in the half.

Fans in Los Angeles are cheering for their hero.

At the end of the three quarters, the score on the court was 68 to 73, and the Lakers still maintained the lead.

Kobe scored another 11 points in the third quarter, and by the end of the third quarter he had scored a season high of 41 points.

It's just that as Xu Yong led the team to tie the score in the fourth quarter, when the Lakers called a timeout, the fans felt that something was wrong with the momentum.

At this moment, Phil Jackson couldn't see any emotional changes on his face, but he did feel a little helpless in his heart.

There are also strategies on the court, some are conspiracies, some are conspiracy, and what is on the table now is the conspiracy.

He kind of misses Gasol's time on the court. Gasol's strength may not be the best, but he is the most suitable for this Lakers team.

With him around, even if other people are not in good condition, he won't be helpless because of this conspiracy.

Bulls bench.

Xu Yong was panting heavily. This was his entry into the NBA. No, it was the most physically exhausting game since his rebirth. It was bigger than the defensive battle against UCLA when he was in the NCAA.

Although Kobe is not as good as Jordan, he is still much better than Jordan. Compared with others, guarding him is a very physically demanding task.

Not to mention that he not only has to defend, but he also has to score points on the offensive end, especially on Kobe.

Although he also scored 24 points, the highest score in the team, he knew he couldn't do it like the first three quarters.

He looked at Rose.

Rose was watching him now.

There was still no verbal communication between the two, but Ross nodded, knowing what Xu Yong meant.

After the timeout, the main players of both sides came off the bench ahead of time, and the game came to the final decisive moment.

Kobe was not in a hurry to attack after coming back. A short rest could not make up for his consumption in the first three quarters. Now the score is deadlocked, and he needs to preserve his physical fitness until the final decisive moment.

At this time, Bynum held high against Noah under the basket and finally scored a goal.

The Lakers fans at the scene also burst into cheers. They really needed Bynum's performance.

However, their cheers had not yet died down. Rose went straight to the inside and directly caused Bynum's fourth defensive foul.

After Rose hit the free throw line, his statistics for tonight were given on the spot, with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

This is the second time he has scored 20 points since the opening game more than half a month ago.

And he scored a lot, but his physical consumption seemed to be very little. He made two free throws steadily against the interference of the audience, raising his personal score to 22 points.

The Lakers' frontcourt continued to feed Bynum, and Bynum confidently turned around and hooked the ball before taking another shot.

But this time Noah accurately predicted and touched the ball directly.

This ball was blocked!

The crowd that was still cheering in the last round directly covered their faces with their hands in this round.

The difference between a small shark and a big shark is just a big difference, but the difference is thousands of miles.

Noah turned around and picked up the rebound, and threw a long throw to Rose on the outside. Rose jumped up to catch the ball. After landing, he saw Fisher turn over and pass the ball, and then ran towards the frontcourt at full speed.

Bryant has been the first to catch up, but can not catch up.

First, his physical energy was exhausted by Xu Yong and he could not recover. Second, Ross was too fast!

The feeling of a person running in front and a soul chasing behind, Ross's sense of forward movement is full of visual effects.

And people really don’t slow down.

After rushing to the three-second zone of the frontcourt, he jumped up directly, adjusted his posture in the air, and then pulled the ball up with both hands. The iconic dunk without pulling the frame and landing with one foot completed the finish.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

After so many games, Xu Yong watched Rose's breakthroughs whenever he had the opportunity, and now he finally caught something.

That is Rose's non-deceleration. It doesn't mean that he has a different ability from ordinary people, but that he put the adjustment that ended in the air.

This may sound outrageous, but it certainly seems to be that way.

Because most people break through, why should they slow down before the end?In fact, it is an adjustment.

After all, reality is not a game. It doesn't just click the accelerator button and it will pass. Your finishing move takes time to make.

Rose, on the other hand, cleverly took advantage of his good air time.

After realizing this, Xu Yong was very excited.

Because he is actually worried about a problem, that is, Rose is a guard and he is a forward. The height and center of gravity of the two are different. Even if he learns it, he may not be able to learn it.

But now it seems that he can apply what he has learned under this general logic.

Kobe began to slow down at the three-point line, and then stopped at the free throw line.

He took a breath and realized that this game would be difficult for the Lakers.

In the end, Kobe, who was forced to exert his strength early, failed to bring the game to the decisive moment, and the score on the court was fixed at 96 to 103.

The Bulls unexpectedly defeated the Lakers on the road, ending their four-game losing streak.

In terms of statistics, Kobe made 35 of 15 shots and scored a game-high 49 points, plus 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

公牛队这边，罗斯在第四节单节掠下10分，全场得到30分5板6助攻，徐永28分4板4助攻。

Xu Yong set his highest score in a single game for two consecutive games, and the 58 points scored by the two together exceeded half of the team's score.

After the game, the two teams shook hands after the game.

The difference was reflected at this time. Kobe did not lose in the tunnel like James, but stayed to shake hands with everyone on the Bulls.

Moreover, when shaking hands with Xu Yong, he also took the initiative to hug Xu Yong, patted Xu Yong on the shoulder and said "well played".

As Xu Yong thought, Kobe was not like Jordan in character.

Of course, Kobe also has his own personality traits.

Because after shaking hands with Xu Yong, he said to Xu Yong: "Next time I will definitely win back."

Xu Yong smiled and said nothing.

He believed this, Gasol returned, and the Lakers adjusted their condition. Although Artest has become Ariza, they are still the championship team.

But that doesn't matter, what matters is that they won tonight, which will be a huge boost to the Bulls' morale.

Xu Yong and Rose attended the press conference after the game.

The reporters mainly interviewed Xu Yong. Although his score was not as high as Rose's, the offense and defense between him and Kobe throughout the game was the most exciting part of tonight's game.

You must know that he is Kobe, No. 1 in the league, and a master of all things. Not to mention ordinary rookies who have singles with him, there are only a few who dare to challenge him.

However, Xu Yong intentionally or unintentionally shifted the focus of the press conference to Ross.

Because he knows the significance of this game to Rose. Although Rose may not be able to completely regain his form immediately, it will definitely be better than before.

And the reporters didn't find it strange that he did this, after all, Xu Yong's team attributes are now very clear to the media.

After the press conference was over, Xu Yong and Ross went outside together.

"Xu, do you have time when we get back to Chicago?" Rose rarely took the initiative to ask Xu Yong.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Xu Yong looked at Ross suspiciously.

"I'd like to invite you to my house for a meal," Ross continued.

Xu Yong laughed when he heard this. He knew what Rose meant by what he said. He wanted to thank him by treating him to a meal.

"No problem." Xu Yong readily agreed.

First of all, he also wanted to get to know Rose's brothers. He should thank them for their help last time.

Secondly, he could feel that his progress bar of [Changing direction without slowing down] was full at this time, and an opportunity was needed to start the strategy, and this was a very good opportunity.
