Chapter 181 The first confrontation with Kobe! [Four changes are completed, ask for a monthly ticket subscription]

Facing the overwhelming discussion, Zhong Yu didn't say anything, but there are always some people who will help to pick things up.

After a public practice of the Lakers, several Chinese reporters approached Kobe and asked about other things, they asked: "Kobe, in the next Western Conference Finals, will the Lakers play against the Hornets?" , Facing Zhong Yu of the Hornets, what do you think?"

This has always been their style. Everyone wants to have something to do with players from their own country.In fact, this can't be said to be wrong, it's just that occasionally you accidentally set up unnecessary enemies for others.

Kobe thought it over before going to speak.

Although time can't wear down Kobe's pride and self-confidence, he is no longer the fledgling youth who made a big mistake.He knows that behind these Chinese reporters is the huge Chinese market, where there are thousands of people who like him, so he must be careful what he says.

What's more, Zhong Yu has now occupied a certain position among the Lakers' imaginary enemies, and Kobe has also become interested in this guy.

Therefore, Kobe said: "Zhong Yu is a very good player. Many of his performances in the past have been recognized by the fans. Facing the upcoming game, I can only say that I will go all out."

Kobe's words were a bit like panacea, but it was enough to make the Chinese reporters happy: "Some of Zhong Yu's style of play is somewhat similar to yours. How do you think about this issue?"

Kobe said: "Everyone is different, and the technical style is also different..."

A reporter also asked Zhong Yu about this question, and Zhong Yu’s answer was as follows: “Kobe is a player I admire very much. His achievements in the past are obvious to all. However, although some words are old-fashioned, I must say, I don't want to be the next one, all I have to do is myself."

The conversation between Zhong Yu and Kobe through the media did not make people notice much of the smell of gunpowder.

However, not long after the interview ended, Zhong Yu had been watching Kobe Bryant's past videos kept in the team database.Such information is often relatively detailed.

On May 5, the entire Hornets team had arrived in Los Angeles.

Zhong Yu hastily said hello to Scarlett Johansson, and then he and the team were studying ways to fight the Lakers.

This season, the Lakers have almost recovered the vigor they had when they won three consecutive championships. The combination of Kobe + Gasol is even more impenetrable inside and outside. The Hornets need to face it.

The Hornets now have an absolute advantage over the Lakers, and Paul is the only one. Moreover, the experience of the old fish is not covered. Fisher has been in the league for many years, so he naturally has his own set of effective methods.

"Our opponents this time are very strong, which requires us to put in more effort." Scott looked at each of his favorite players and said, "However, I believe that our team will come out of the lottery zone step by step. The team that has set foot on the stage of the Western Conference finals can explode with unimaginable combat effectiveness. Let's fight together... No matter what the result is, we are already a team that has attracted the attention of the world."

Scott was telling the truth, but the last sentence about the team that attracted the world's attention also made everyone excited.

The next day, just before the game, Zhong Yu saw Kobe during the warm-up.This is not the first time for Zhong Yu to see Kobe. He also saw it in the 2007 draft and in the previous battle between the Lakers and the Hornets.However, this is the first time for an opponent who is about to play.

As the outside world said, Kobe was very cold, he was shooting quietly by himself, and he didn't communicate much with other people.When Zhong Yu looked at him, he just turned his head, and the two looked at each other, and Zhong Yu could see his calm eyes.

Kobe recognized Zhong Yu, nodded to him, and didn't say much.

There is no feeling of being flattered. After all, Zhong Yu himself and Kobe are both professional players in the NBA. The 21-year-old professional player no longer has much plot and energy to chase stars.

Therefore, Zhong Yu just smiled and nodded at him, which is regarded as an acquaintance.

However, this scene was still captured by some reporters, especially some Chinese reporters, who interpreted it as "the collision of heroes' eyes, and everything is said without saying anything."

The game is about to start!
This is the home court of the Lakers, the Staples Center, and Zhong Yu can feel the starlight here.Not only the stars of the Lakers, but also many Hollywood stars came here tonight. In comparison, New Orleans is indeed a bit shabby.But there is no way to do it. The Lakers have a strong appeal, and they are still in a really big city like Los Angeles, so the influence is naturally not the same.

Zhong Yu scanned around and saw Scarlett Johansson. It was obvious that she had been looking at herself, so Zhong Yu waved his hand towards her position.

Scarlett laughed, stood up and waved, but worried that some reporters would interpret the relationship between the two, she quickly sat down again.

To Zhong Yu's surprise, when the DJ began to introduce the players, when it was Zhong Yu's turn, there were many cheers from the side.Moreover, most of these voices were women's voices, and of course they were quickly suppressed by boos.

However, Zhong Yu did see the enthusiasm of many female fans for him from the middle, and his appearance attracted not only New Orleans fans.

Players from both sides stood together, and the game was about to begin.

The players of the Lakers, including Zen Master, dare not take it lightly. The Hornets are now different from the past. With the backcourt combination of Paul + Zhong Yu, West with accurate inside jumpers and Chandler with many tricks , plus Peja who sneaks shots from the outside from time to time... This team should not be underestimated.

Today's starting lineups are:

Lakers: Kobe, Fisher, Gasol, Odom, Radmanovich.Hornets: Zhong Yu, Paul, West, Peja, Chandler.

Zhong Yu will face Kobe for the first time.

After the whistle sounded, the first collision between the two sides began.

"Defeat the Hornets!" The Lakers fans are sparing no effort to cheer for the Lakers, trying their best to suppress the Hornets, hoping to interfere with them.

"Get rid of those soft-footed shrimps of the Hornets! They are not worth mentioning!" The fans became more and more excited. As the Lakers successfully jumped the ball and the basketball came to Kobe's hands, the tone of this voice became more passionate.

Zhong Yu was defending Kobe for the first time. He was serious, keeping his eyes and body focused all the time, and making timely adjustments following Kobe's movements.

At this time, Kobe suddenly leaned against Zhong Yu with his back, and then used a little force inside. After that, his body had already turned within the three-point line. Before Zhong Yu could fully react, he Jump shot inside the three-point line!
"Bang!" It's a pity that the ball failed to hit, but Kobe's face was very calm, and he quickly retreated to the half court.

Although Kobe didn't feel good about the ball and missed a hit, Zhong Yu felt that just now he was hit by Kobe's turn-around jump shot, and he could hardly find a direction to defend... This is very dangerous.Once Kobe opened up his touch, it would be difficult for him to defend.

Seeing that Kobe missed a shot, fans turned to cheering on the Lakers' defense:

"Defense! Defense!"

"Keep the Hornets scoreless!"

Paul turned a deaf ear to the boos and approached the old fisher Fisher unhurriedly, then he suddenly jumped up.

Fisher kept up and prevented Paul from taking an easy shot, but Paul passed the pass to Zhong Yu next to him.

Zhong Yu received the pass in the second area.

All over the world, many reporters have locked onto this classic scene!Many years later, when people reminisce about the golden years, they will always find this photo and think of Zhong Yu's first confrontation with Kobe at that time.

"Zhong Yu! Don't use any pressure when facing Kobe!" Many fans of Zhong Yu secretly cheered for him from the bottom of their hearts.

The audience next to the stadium were also attracted by the ball.

With Zhong Yu's performance getting better and better, many American fans also know Zhong Yu, and most of the Lakers fans also know this handsome young man.They didn't boo Zhongyu, because they felt that Kobe missed the first ball, so there was no need to boo Zhongyu-Kobe would give him a rare point.

Zhong Yu received the pass in the second area. Although Kobe was defending him, he did not hesitate.

At this moment, Kobe was a little away from him, Zhong Yu received Paul's pass, and his body was already flying into the air!The whole world felt a kind of heartfelt shock from Zhong Yu's decisiveness when facing Kobe and the Hornets' first goal in the Western Conference Finals.

This is the charm of basketball, when you are in the nick of time, your hands are like knives.

Kobe didn't expect Zhong Yu to be so confident, so he jumped up with all his strength and chased him in the air.

Zhong Yu's body has already started to lie down, and at this moment, the angle between him and the ground is very low, it seems that he is almost about to fall to the ground.

"It's too close!" Zhong Yu also exclaimed at the moment of the nick of time. Kobe is a veteran of fadeaway jumpers, and he also has his own set of experience in defense.His right hand is close at hand and can interfere with his shooting!
However, this didn't frighten Zhong Yu. In an instant, Zhong Yu was determined that he could hit the ball.

He ignored Kobe's approaching right hand and still threw the basketball.

This basketball, leaving Zhong Yu's hands, flew up into the sky, like a shooting star heading for nothing, it didn't start to fall until it reached the highest point of a very high arc!
Then, tens of thousands of fans in the audience and countless fans watching the live broadcast all set their sights on this basketball!
"Shua!" The crisp voice sounded instantly, no matter from which angle you look at it, you can see the net flowers flying!
Kobe turned his head and glanced at Zhong Yu with some surprise.

He was able to interpret Zhong Yu's decisive shot just now, and he was almost blindly confident in himself!He didn't even believe that the shot was going to be missed.

This kind of self-confidence made Kobe fail to block the shot and let the basketball fly into the basket.
