Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 137 The peak showdown, please enter the urn!
Returning to the frontcourt, this time Duane did not run to the low post to catch the ball.

Being entangled with Kobe is quite exhausting, which is somewhat detrimental to Duan's subsequent scoring method.

In order to reduce physical contact as much as possible and save more energy, Duan took the ball directly outside the three-point line.

Kobe saw Duen posing as a triple threat, and was slightly worried about Duen passing the ball to his teammates.

As a former teammate, Kobe had seen Duane's organizational ability with his own eyes.

"You don't want to be a coward and suddenly regret it, do you?"

Kobe used trash talk to stimulate Du En, but Du En just smiled crookedly.

I saw Duen taking a tentative step with his right foot. Kobe hurriedly took a small step with his left foot and took half a step back. Duen saw this and changed to a cross step to break through to the left.

Kobe reacted quickly and immediately shifted his body weight to his right foot, quickly moving laterally to block Duan's breakthrough path.

Unexpectedly, Duen suddenly stopped and stepped back, retreated to the three-point line and immediately took off to shoot.

According to today's ball rules, Duen's ball was suspected of stealing a step. However, Duen's dribbling and shooting movements were very coherent, and it was Kobe's ball in singles, so the referee naturally did not interfere too much.

Kobe also said there was no problem with Duen's singles after the test step.

Seeing Duen complete the shot and he failed to block the shot in time, Kobe just immediately looked back to check Duen's shooting.

I saw that the basketball was flying towards the basket accurately. Until it fell into the net, the basketball was still spinning.

"This ball...why does it look so much like my good brother Trish?

By the way, Duan just said that he practiced with Tracy and Shaq in the summer.

Has he mastered Trish's skills?No, it must be that his touch is too good. He can't feel so good every time he takes a shot! "

McGrady is undoubtedly Kobe's good brother. As the league's number one McGrady, Kobe has always admired McGrady's abilities and envied McGrady's talent.

Kobe knew McGrady very well, as well as Duane last season, but the strength Duen showed this time was vaguely close to McGrady's level.

This surprised Kobe, but after thinking about it, he immediately denied it.

Why did Du En make so much progress in just one summer?
And how many summers did he spend trying to master Jordan's skills?
By the time Kobe put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and became serious again, Duan had already returned to the backcourt and was ready.

Instead of getting the ball in the high post like Duane, Bryant continued to let his teammates stretch, clearing one side for him to beat Dunn in the low post.

It was also because the players from both teams were very cooperative. Tonight's game, at least in the first quarter, was a one-on-one battle between Duane and Kobe.

Kobe used his body and skills, first with his back, then with his steps, and finally with his shot.

Duan had defended to the extreme, but Kobe still scored another tough goal.

"So strong, so handsome, Kobe is getting serious!"

"Kobe and Shaq won four championships together!
We all know that Shaq is the boss of the team, but in fact Kobe is also very strong, but his light is overshadowed by Shaq!
Therefore, it is not surprising that Kobe forced the Palace team to trade Shaq.

Facing former teammate Du En, who won the fourth championship together, especially Du En, who felt hot tonight.

There is no way Kobe will admit defeat no matter what!
Perhaps Duane tonight can inspire the strongest Kobe we have ever seen! "

"Tonight's game was so interesting! The next one will definitely be even more exciting!

Come on Duan, I hope you can continue to maintain your hot touch and tough defense!

Let me see what you are really capable of!Even if I leave Los Angeles, I will continue to support you! "

Because Duan performed well, Kobe seemed to perform even better, and the Lakers fans at the scene also began to cheer for Duan and Kobe.

Most fans like to watch games where stars have strong dialogues, and Duane, who played against Kobe tonight, is a rookie trained by the Lakers themselves.

Lakers fans naturally have a different feeling for Duan.

When Du En heard the cheers of the fans at the scene, his blood began to boil.

However, despite being excited, Du En became calmer.

"Kobe, you fight yours, and mine fights mine. At the end of the game, who will have the last laugh!"

“A three-pointer is always one more than a two-pointer!
I shoot three-pointers and you shoot two-pointers. Even if your shooting percentage is a little higher than mine, so what?

In short, the advantage is mine! "

Duan knew very well that if he wanted to win tonight's game, he would need both the help of his teammates and the cooperation of Kobe.

In this case, Duan needs to surpass Kobe in scoring data in a short period of time, or even widen the gap, attract Kobe's attention, and let Kobe continue to fall into the singles trap.

At the same time, Duen still needs to save more energy in the first three quarters and use practical actions to win the critical moment of the fourth quarter.

This proves that he did not rely on his teammates to win the game, but relied on his personal strength to defeat Kobe.

As for the offensive method that saves the most energy and is also the most explosive in scoring, besides shooting three-pointers, what else can it be?
Oh, yes, there is also a one-point shot with amazing scoring power.

Tonight, if Doan tries to challenge Kobe, it will undoubtedly lower the enjoyment of the game by several levels.

To take a step back, even if you win the game with this kind of defense, you will be criticized.

Therefore, in a strong dialogue, it is okay to be clever by drawing fouls. If you always act smart, you will treat others as fools.

Having said that, after Kobe Bryant succeeded in a single, the Bulls quickly served from the baseline.

In order to save energy, Duan continued to hand the ball over to Ben Gordon.

After coming to the frontcourt, Duan continued to catch the ball outside the three-point line and beat Kobe in singles.

In order to limit Duan's breakthrough, Kobe directly started to defend.

Now the no handcheck rule has actually been released, but the on-site referee did not call it, and obviously did not take this new rule seriously.

In fact, it was not until the defensive battle between the Pistons and Spurs in the 05 Finals that seriously affected the ratings that the league truly strictly implemented the no handcheck rule.

Therefore, it will take some time for Du En to take advantage of the version bonus.

At least against stars like Kobe, we have to stay under the handcheck rule for the time being.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.Facing Kobe's defensive approach, Duan first tentatively swung his arms and elbows, trying to gain a certain breakthrough and shooting space.

Kobe quickly changed hands and continued to support Du En on his waist. Du En could only pass the ball to his teammates first, and then catch the ball with his back.

Kobe knew that Duen was about to break through and had to rely on his strength to push him away and rush to the basket, so he took the initiative to push him first, then immediately withdrew his stool, and then took half a step back to prevent Duen from breaking through.

However, Duan now has the confidence to lean back and switch to a face-up jump shot.

In order to score more points in a short period of time, Duen still chose to take one more step after facing the frame, retreating to outside the three-point line to shoot a jumper.

With mental arithmetic but no intention, Kobe thought that Duen would break through, but in fact Duen still had to shoot a three-pointer.Kobe's leap was a beat too slow and was shot directly in front of Duen's face.

However, not all of Duan's three-pointers were scored. The ball was shot at a good time, but in the end he failed to make it.

Fortunately, although other Bulls players did not get the ball, they did not slack off in their work.They saw the rebound bounce out and immediately rushed forward to grab it.

After Luol Deng got the rebound, he immediately passed the ball to Duan.

Kobe was originally going to grab the rebound, but when he saw this scene, he immediately returned to guard Du En.

But Du En took advantage of this space and jumped up again to shoot a three-pointer.

For Kobe, this ball still has a chance to interfere, but better defense did not achieve the desired effect.

Duan withstood Kobe's defense and shot the ball into the basket.

When Kobe saw Duan hit another three-pointer, he secretly thought something was wrong.

The Lakers fans at the scene shouted for Duen in unison: "It's so awesome, Duen!"

"Come on Duan, Kobe is not that easy to deal with!"

"You know how Duane did it? He hit another three-pointer over Kobe!"

Seeing Duan put his hands to his ears like Iverson did, Kobe was inevitably a little jealous.

"This is my territory! You guy!"

Soon, Kobe once again got the ball in the low post. As soon as Duan stepped forward on defense, he received an elbow from Kobe.

Duan endured the severe pain in his chest and kept using small movements with his hands to interfere with Kobe's dribbling and shooting rhythm.

Kobe is not Jordan, and there is no way he can shoot 50% of his mid-range shots. He scored two goals in a row, which is a bit beyond Kobe's level.

And tonight, Duan's defense was not without effort. Even though Duan's one-on-one defense gave Kobe a lot of room to attack, whether he could make the shot was another matter.

Plan
Kobe's iron level finally returned to normal, and Tyson Chandler under the basket once again relied on his enthusiasm to grab a rebound from Eddie Curry.

Duan once again singled out Kobe in the frontcourt, quickly found the opportunity to take action, and shot a three-pointer.

However, Duan also began to work hard under Kobe's defense.

Fortunately, the overall enthusiasm of the Bulls is far higher than that of the Lakers. To protect rebounds, especially offensive rebounds, the Bulls starting players did a very good job tonight.

As Josh Smith grabbed an offensive rebound, Duan received the ball and got another chance to shoot.

Duan also reciprocated the favor. He faked a shot and actually passed Kobe. He rushed to the mid-range to attract the defense and gave Josh Smith a piece of cake.

As for Odom on the Lakers side, because he kept running back and forth, and Kobe and Duane were playing one-on-one on the court, he had nothing to do and his interest was mediocre, so he had already begun to desert.

boom--

Josh Smith scored twice and once again dunked over Eddie Curry who reached out his hand.

Seeing that the point difference was widening, Kobe began to become a little anxious.

Although Kobe knew in his heart that at this time, he should pass the ball to his teammates and let them play a few to mobilize their enthusiasm.

However, in today's scene, Duan scored more than him and performed better than him. How could Kobe accept this kind of thing?

Laugh, you are actually laughing?laugh at me?
Look at my bad temper, how can I bear it?
Du En's arrogance must be severely suppressed!
Kobe continued to beat Duen in low singles and hit Duen with a hard elbow, teaching Duen a lesson.

As the saying goes, every time you suffer, you gain wisdom. Duen no longer used his chest to hit Kobe Bryant, but used his arm muscles as a buffer.

Along the way, he also used a hidden elbow on Kobe who was turning around!
Kobe liked to fight hard and didn't say anything about it. Even Duen stretched out his hand and pulled his clothes, but it didn't matter.

Kobe made an emergency stop, broke through and converted to a jumper, and once again fell back beautifully.

Du En was well prepared and jumped up quickly to interfere with the shot, only to hear another sound from Duang behind him.

However, Eddie Curry is not a freeloader. This time he took the offensive rebound over Tyson Chandler.

Tyson Chandler was really ruthless and gave his good brother Eddie Curry a hug.

I would rather let Eddie Curry stand on the free throw line than score on his head.

I have to say that Tyson Chandler's move was a bit big this time. Under normal circumstances, a first-level flagrant foul would not be able to escape.

However, tonight's penalty scale is obviously not the ordinary regular season level, but the playoff level.

When playing basketball, a little movement is normal.

So this one was just a common foul and Eddie Curry only had two free throws.

Perhaps due to the fall, Eddie Curry, who originally had a free throw percentage of over [-]%, actually missed both free throws.

Josh Smith protected the rebound, and Duan quickly hit Kobe with a back in the high post.

Duang, it’s okay if you hit the iron!Just be as strong as Kobe!
Kobe also wanted to use his rich blacksmithing experience to defeat Duen, but Duen's main offensive method was three-pointers, while Kobe used two-pointers.

Kobe must shoot more than 50% to have a chance to surpass Duane in scoring data.

Under Du En's strict defense, Kobe also felt very uncomfortable.

The first quarter lasted more than 7 minutes. Before Duane went off to rest, Kobe made 12 of 5 shots and scored 41.7 points with a 10% shooting rate.

On the other hand, Duen, although he had to leave the game early to rest due to excessive physical exertion, he was unable to play the full first quarter.

But still in the first quarter, facing Kobe's high-intensity defense, he made 9 of 4 shots, 7 of 3 three-pointers, 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

By the way, Kobe didn't score on his own after Duane came off the court. Instead, he chose to lead his teammates with sudden points and played another 3 minutes on the court before taking a rest.

However, by the time the first quarter ended 25-23, the Bulls still had a 2-point lead.

It can be seen that Kobe's ability to drive his teammates is obviously not as strong as Duane.

Even when Duan was fighting alone with Kobe, he found every opportunity to create some scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Kobe just insisted on the gentleman's agreement he had made with Duen before, and didn't want to rack up extra scoring data while Duen was not present, so he thought of passing the ball to his teammates.

As for his teammates, they didn't touch the ball for most of the quarter. When they received Kobe's pass, they couldn't find a good feel or offensive state in a short period of time.

This was also because the performance of his teammates did not satisfy him. This made Kobe, who returned to play in the second quarter, even more determined to win the game with his own personal strength.

"As long as I perform well enough, no one can beat my team!"
