no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 99 On the field, there are only opponents

19:25.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls trailed the Lakers by 6 points.

Although the Bulls got off to a very good start, when Kobe took over the offense, the Lakers' performance suddenly returned to normal.

He scored 7 points on 4 of 10 shots in the first quarter and also sent 3 assists.

The Bulls used Xu Yong and Deng to defend Kobe, but they failed to restrain the opponent.

This is the mature, No. 1 Kobe Bryant who has won the MVP and deserves his name.

At this time, most of the main players of both sides are resting off the court, but Xu Yong of the Bulls is still on the court.

Although Denagro's tactical level is relatively limited, he can still be on par with Sandek in terms of rotation and deployment.

Because Hinrich is the only truly reliable substitute in the back line, he will use the combination of Hinrich + Xu Yong or Rose in the transition period.

Rose attacked more in the first quarter, and Xu Yong's partner with Hinrich tonight naturally became Xu Yong.

Kobe was on the sidelines at this time, and his teammates gave him some simple ice compresses.

Although his personal ability has reached the peak of his career, at the age of 31, his body has begun to decline uncontrollably.

With high-intensity confrontation and the alliance atmosphere of fighting with injuries, the alliance at the age of 30 is a watershed in this era.

Especially this season, Gasol was injured before the start of the season, and Bynum was in an embarrassing position. He could only play more, and playing more would put a greater burden on his body.

After seeing Xu Yong on the field, his gaze immediately shifted to the opponent.

He didn't use his full strength in the bullfight with Xu Yong last night.

Firstly, it was unnecessary. If he had to give his best to fight a rookie, he might as well just retire.

Secondly, it was also because of the match today, he and Xu Yong would still be opponents if they chatted again, only a fool would leave no room for his opponent.

On the field, Xu Yong used the cover to come out and receive a pass from Hinrich, and he hit it with his hands.

Kobe nodded subconsciously.

Although Xu Yong is only a rookie and his offensive skills still need to be improved, his offensive stability is very good, which can also be felt in last night's bullfight.

This shows that Xu Yong has worked hard in training just like him.

And this Mai Shiganba, as Mai Di's good friend, he found that he already had a little liking for this newcomer.

At this moment, the Lakers missed a wave of offense, and Xu Yong turned around to catch the ball without the ball, but Ariza was not able to get rid of him this time.

It was Phil Jackson's helpless move for Ariza to stay on the court at this time, because although Xu Yong played shooting guard, he was oversized like McGrady.

This kind of shooting guard has a characteristic, that is, if you arrange a guard to guard him, it is a natural misalignment.

The only people on the Lakers who can compete with Xu Yong are Kobe and Ariza.

Xu Yong glanced at his teammates for no chance, and more than half of the attack time, he stretched out his hand to signal to pull away to play singles.

Kobe was also very focused at this time.

He knows Ariza's defense. Although it is not at the top level, it is definitely at the elite level.

It is not so easy for Xu Yong to break through his defense one-on-one.

And this is on the field, and the intensity of bullfighting off the field is different.

The fact was also as he expected, Xu Yong's first step was very explosive, but he didn't completely get rid of Ariza.

Moreover, Ariza is 2 meters tall and has a wingspan of 03 meters, which is at the same level as McGrady.

This kind of monster with a fast wingspan will easily be disturbed if you can't take action without completely getting rid of him.

Xu Yong broke through to the free throw line but still didn't get a good shot.

"boom!"

But the next second, Kobe suddenly stood up from the bench.

This sudden move startled the team doctor who was tying an ice pack to him.

But at this time Kobe had no time to take care of him at all, because his eyes were fixed on Xu Yong on the court.

After a heavy dribble, Xu Yong immediately fell to the ground, then turned around and shot a pull-up jumper from the free throw line.

Xu Yong, is it Kakashi?
Ah, no, when did Xu Yong learn this new move of his? !
"Shh!"

Xu Yong made a steady hit after getting rid of the defense.

Seeing the ball go into the basket, Xu Yongchang, who put away his scissor legs and landed, let out a deep breath.

Don't tell me, this move is really easy to use!
Fortunately, he had practiced this move in advance, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss tonight.

Just then, he noticed Kobe's eyes on the sidelines.

It's not that he has good eyesight, but that everyone else is sitting, so it's not obvious that Kobe is standing there.

Seeing Kobe's surprised and puzzled eyes, Xu Yong's heart suddenly felt relieved.

Let's not talk about anyone, we are all each other.

Kobe's expression changed.

Although essentially, both he and Xu Yong had reservations about each other, but Xu Yong was just a newcomer, and their statuses were not equal to each other.

This time, all his affection and liking for Xu Yong disappeared.

Xu Yong didn't pay attention to Kobe's expression changes, and he didn't care either.

Off-field communication is communication, but on the field, there are only opponents.

"when!"

Odom's outside three-point attempt still missed the basket.

The Lakers haven't scored yet since they came up in the second quarter.

It's clear that their season's struggles aren't just a lack of Gasol.

Xu Yong jumped up high to grab the defensive rebound and directly held the ball for a fast break.

When he dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line and saw that Johnson was about to go down, he saw the angle and shook his hand, and sent a long pass across the half court to .gif.

After receiving the ball, Johnson scored 1-for-0 and dunked directly with both hands.

25 flats!
The Bulls came back in the second quarter and played 6-0, directly evening the point difference!

"beep!"

At this moment, the short whistle sounded from the sidelines.

Phil Jackson did not call a timeout. What "Zen Master" likes to do most is to hand over the problem to the players.

This short whistle is a substitution, Kobe is back.

If the problem is handed over to the players, it must be handed over to a reliable person.

The Lakers' offense, Kobe was holding the ball, and Odom was going to pick and roll at this time, but Kobe signaled him to go back.

Obviously, he wanted to hit Xu Yong.

Xu Yong also took a defensive stance.

Although he may not be able to defend against Kobe now, he will not call his teammates when he cannot defend like others.

Kobe chose to play with his back to the basket this time. After continuous back turns and footwork fakes, he made an iconic fadeaway jumper.

Xu Yong rushed forward to interfere.

"Shh!"

But Kobe still threw the ball in.

And after Kobe made the shot, he gave Xu Yong a death stare.

This action also instantly excited the fans of the Staples Center.

This is the first time this season that they have seen Kobe have such a strong desire to compete.

In the transition between offense and defense, Xu Yong directly reached out for the ball this time.

Kobe was on the death stare, and there was no way he wasn't responding.

And although he is not as good as Kobe in terms of ability now, ability and ability to play are two different things.

What he can't compare to is Kobe's offensive skills and game experience, but he still has a chance to break Kobe's defense, because he has trained all the "weapons" in his "arsenal" very skillfully.

In the one-on-one match between the two, Kobe went straight to the intensity. While constantly confronting Xu Yong, he also kept trying to cut the ball, and the sense of oppression was full.

This was not at the same level as the intensity of the two men's bullfight yesterday.

Kobe has been selected to the double team 7 times in his career so far. He is the only player after Jordan who can get this honor.

His defense, like his offense, is top notch.

Xu Yong turned his body half sideways to protect the ball. Of course he knew Kobe's defensive ability, so he had to find a shot with the shortest number of dribbles.

The more luck you have, the greater the chance of damage.

He leaned against Kobe for a moment, then dropped directly to start.

Kobe made an obvious contraction at this time. He is smaller than Xu Yong. If Xu Yong speeds up, his defense will fall into a passive state.

Seeing this, Xu Yong directly joined the ball and took off.

Normally, Xu Yong was able to shoot the ball calmly under such circumstances, but Kobe's reaction was too fast, or Kobe's defensive skills were too strong. He used his doggy steps to grab forward in an instant, and then took off almost at the same time as Xu Yong.

This is the real oppression of seven defensive first-team defenders.

Xu Yongkong was forced to lean back with scissor legs, and it was at this time that his size advantage began to show.

He is one size larger than Kobe, which allows him to complete the shot against Kobe's defense at the highest point.

The basketball passed over Kobe's fingertips, flew over Kobe's head, and drew a parabola in the air.

"Shh!"

Hollow bag!

There was an instant uproar at the scene.

Under Kobe's high-pressure defense, Xu Yong actually completed the answerball!

Moreover, it is still bukkake!

The Bulls' bench erupted.

Even Rose couldn't help standing up.

This ball is so hard!
You know that is Kobe, No.1 in the league, and No.1 in both offense and defense!
After seeing the goal, Xu Yong spread his hands to Kobe.

Even if you are Kobe and I should fuck you, I still have to fuck you!
Of course, Yang Yi at the commentary booth was the most excited at this time, he almost knelt down and called Dad.

On the other hand, Hu Mijia Comey, the number one, opened his mouth at this time, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and sighed: "This ball, it's unreasonable!"
