At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 69
Although Kobe was in poor condition and shot only 25% from the field, the two teams were still in a stalemate.

Because Gasol and Bynum who came on the scene once again destroyed the Warriors' inside line, the Warriors only led by 60 points at 55:5 after two quarters.

However, Du Zhe's efficient performance made the Lakers suffer in the second quarter.

In the end, the Lakers were forced to replace Vujacic and use the faster Shannon Brown to try to mark him.

But Shannon Brown is only a role player with similar strength to Vujacic, and his defensive ability is also relatively average, and he is more than ten centimeters shorter than Du Zhe.

Even if Du Zhe can't get rid of his defense, he can still try to make facial shots.

However, although Shannon Brown is average in strength and not tall, he is also a very powerful dunker.

When he was in high school that year, he also competed with "Little Emperor" James for the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest.

In Du Zhe's impression, although this guy in 2K has an overall rating of over 70, his dunking ability value is over 90, and even the only two badges he has are related to dunking.

It's a pity not to go whoring for nothing with such a detainment.

Subconsciously, Du Zhe glanced at the Lakers' bench.

I saw Kobe sitting on the bench without saying a word. Although half of his face was covered by a carbon fiber mask, Du Zhe could feel the icy atmosphere around him from a long distance away.

Obviously Kobe was very dissatisfied with his performance in the first half.

And Paul Gasol was communicating with head coach Phil Jackson. He played well in this game and crushed several insiders of the Warriors. His performance was indispensable for the Lakers to make a comeback in the second half.

Shannon Brown, whom Du Zhe was more concerned about, was sitting at the end of the bench, whispering with "Old Fish" Fisher.

Seeing the close relationship between the two, Du Zhe couldn't help but sigh that the relationship between the two master poachers of the Lakers is really good.

In the previous life, one of these two men stole Pau Gasol's girlfriend, and the other took advantage of the situation and got into the wife of former teammate Matt Barnes. It can be said that birds of a feather flock together.

However, unlike the overall solemn atmosphere of the Lakers, the audience on the sidelines was quite relaxed and did not take this slight backwardness to heart at all.

As fans of the championship team, they have long been used to seeing those big storms.

Kobe felt like this in the first half, and the team fell behind by 5 points. When Kobe stepped up in the second half, it wouldn't be enough to defeat the Warriors.

The Los Angeles fans at the scene were full of confidence in the team and Kobe.

…………

"Good audience friends, welcome back, the second half of the game between the Lakers and the Warriors is about to begin." After the halftime commercial time ended, the rebroadcast camera cut back to the studio.

"Before the game starts, let's review the statistics of the first half. The young player Du Zhe made 7 of 4 shots and scored 12 points with three-pointers. In addition, he also had 2 rebounds."

"The Lakers' star Kobe Bryant shot 12 of 3, scoring 6 points and 7 assists." Director Yu compared the data of the two focus players in the first half.

Then he carefully added: "Judging from the matchup data, the situation predicted by the media before the game that the two would compete against each other or even be crushed by Kobe did not appear. Instead, Du Zhe had the slight upper hand on the scene."

"Well, Du Zhe played really well this time. Of course, Kobe is injured and it's understandable that his performance will be affected." Director Zhang on the side was a fan of Kobe after all, so he subconsciously explained a few words for Kobe.

"Okay, players from both teams have officially appeared. We see that Kobe Bryant from the Lakers team is temporarily off the court to rest."

"After all, he is a veteran. He attacked so many times without a break for one minute in the first two quarters. It's time for him to take a rest."

Amid the announcements of the two commentators, the third quarter of the game officially began.

Like Kobe, Du Zhe also sat on the bench to watch the game. The coaching staff arranged for him to watch Kobe play.

Since Kobe is not playing, he can just take a break.

However, the rest was short-lived. After only 5 minutes, Kobe couldn't help but come back on the court, and Du Zhe also followed him on the court.

Seeing that Du Zhe made it clear that he wanted to play against Kobe, although the fans on the sidelines felt very uncomfortable, they couldn't do anything about it, and some even felt convinced.

Before the start of the game, the Los Angeles media described Du Zhe as a dirty player full of violence, saying that he would not be able to defend at all if he did not rely on rough movements.

In the last showdown between the Lakers and the Warriors, many Los Angeles fans also saw Du Zhe break Kobe's nose with a flagrant foul through the broadcast.

Repeated media reports, coupled with preconceived notions, made many fans at the scene believe that Du Zhe was a bad guy on the court with a record of misdeeds.

But Du Zhe's performance in the first half surprised the fans.

Every ball this Chinese player defends against Kobe can be said to be clean and defended by his own strength, which is completely irrelevant to the description of the media before the game.

On the stage again, the boos directed at Du Zhe from the fans were much quieter.

The Kardashians sitting in the audience looked at Du Zhe with even more fiery eyes.

Needless to say, this Chinese guy is quite handsome and his figure looks quite appetizing.

Moreover, this guy ran all over the field without showing signs of fatigue. He must have pretty good endurance.

Several beauties from the Kardashian family gathered together and whispered while looking at Du Zhe on the court, with playful smiles appearing on their lips from time to time.

Du Zhe was not interested in the Kardashians, so he naturally didn't notice their little moves.

But Odom, who was in charge of marking Du Zhe, accurately captured the smiles of several Kardashians.

Among them is Khloe Kardashian, who has already established a relationship with him.

"Kole and the others, why are they laughing at this brat!" Odom, the master of desertion, saw the gazes of several beauties constantly looking at Du Zhe, and his heart was already burning with jealousy.

Although he himself is not very clean, his jealousy is quite strong.

Once his attention is distracted, it will be difficult for Odom to concentrate on the game.

Magic Johnson once described it this way, "If Odom can concentrate 5%, then he can become a superstar."

Although Johnson's words are exaggerated, they also reflect Odom's lack of concentration from one aspect.

In fact, Odom is indeed a player with a huge gap between the upper and lower limits, and stability has never been synonymous with him.

When he had a flash of inspiration, he could really be possessed by a magician, and he performed amazingly on the offensive end, wowing his teammates and fans.

But when his mind wanders, he can also use his ridiculous moves to make his opponents laugh and make his teammates and fans slap their thighs.

Now Odom has already entered the state of mind-wandering, and he is engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

He first felt the need to find Khloe Kardashian to explain, but then he felt that as a grown man, doing so seemed a bit petty.

Then he began to plan the activities after the game. Should he go to enjoy the world of two with Kohler?Or take the sisters of the Kardashian family to the nightclub to have a good time?
In short, Odom didn't think about the game at all.

It can be said that concentration has become the biggest obstacle for Odom to go further.

Kobe, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but feel more and more impatient as he saw that the situation on the court was still inextricable. In addition, Du Zhe was always blocking the front like a goalkeeper.

Then his eyes glanced at his elbow imperceptibly.

After hesitating for a moment, the dull pain on his face made Kobe calm down again. After taking a long breath, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and gave up the impulsive thought that just flashed through his mind.

Kicking off again, Kobe no longer dared to act rashly in the face of Du Dze. He no longer obsessed with singles, but began to take the initiative to play for his teammates.

"Oh? Kobe passed the ball! Pass the ball to the inside and let Gasol solve the battle."

"Kobe played very smartly in this quarter. Instead of continuing to cling to the outside line, he used his strengths and avoided weaknesses to let the dominant inside twin towers play."

The two commentators exchanged words with each other, and inadvertently admitted that facing Duzhe and Kobe was the Lakers' shortcoming.

After changing their style of play, the Lakers' offensive efficiency has significantly improved.

Facing the inside combination of Randolph and Turiaf of the Warriors, Gasol and Bynum have great advantages in terms of technology and size. The success rate of the inside attack initiated by them is still very guaranteed.

Since his own inside line was not strong enough, Du Zhe could only risk a flank attack, trying to stop the Lakers' twin towers from wreaking havoc through steals.

It can only be said that this style of play is high-risk and high-reward. If the steal is successful, the Warriors can not only destroy the opponent's offense, but also get a fast break opportunity.

But the Lakers' two inside players have good ball speed, especially Pau Gasol, who is also outstanding in the paint in his ability to support passes.

In an unsuccessful double attack, Gasol quickly distributed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe, who got an open space outside the three-point line, easily hit a three-pointer.

This three-pointer also allowed the Lakers to successfully achieve a go-ahead lead. The Los Angeles fans off the court became excited again, and the shouts of Kobe Bryant's MVP once again filled the entire arena.

There was no way, before this three-pointer, Kobe was suppressed by Du Zhe and had no temper, which also made the fans at the scene depressed.

And now seeing his idol stand up at a critical moment and help the team achieve a reversal, this gave the Los Angeles fans who had suppressed the whole game finally a chance to release.

With the shouts of Kobe Bryant MVP all over the sky, the Warriors launched a counterattack.

Against Du Zhe, Odom will not be suppressed by the halo of being a bad guy on the court because he is too weak.

But after all, he is a player who is strong in offense and weak in defense. Compared with his versatility on the offensive end, his defensive ability can only be regarded as barely adequate, and in terms of movement speed and confrontation, he cannot take advantage of Du Zhe.

What's more, Odom's mind is no longer on the game.

Watching Odom keep casting glances at the Kardashians on the bench, as a pure young man, Du Zhe had already guessed the other person's thoughts.

It seems that now he no longer needs to be polite, the breakthrough in this game will be opened from Odom.
