runaway point guard

Chapter 296... Let Kobe kneel

The Staples Center is already brightly lit.

This season's Lakers rank second in the Western Conference, and the Hornets have opened up a lot of wins for them.The current Lakers need a lot of winning streaks to catch up with the Hornets in terms of record, and this also requires the Hornets to lose a few games in the middle.

However, although the record is like this, in the eyes of many people, the regular season and the playoffs cannot be compared.

The Lakers are in no hurry.

But they still want to win this game. This is not only because Kobe wants to use Zhong Yu's blood to prove himself, but also because the Lakers are now overwhelmed by the Hornets in terms of record. Many fans of the Hornets They are already clamoring to liquidate the Lakers...

They also want to use the victory to silence these people, let them know how good the Lakers are, and let them know that the Hornets last season were not wronged at all.

Therefore, in this kind of thinking, the Lakers are also high-spirited today, gearing up to solve the Hornets as soon as possible.

Kobe saw Zhong Yu with a blank face, smiled and nodded, and Zhong Yu also smiled back, which was regarded as a greeting.Kobe was a man of few words. He really valued Zhong Yu very much. He felt that Zhong Yu was one of his opponents, so he would greet him like this.

After all, they are not very familiar with each other.

Last season, as a rookie, Zhong Yu scored 30 points on Kobe's head many times. This made Kobe feel very uncomfortable, and he was also waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge.

The game between the Hornets and the Lakers also had a national live broadcast on ESPN, and the commentators arranged by ESPN today were two well-known old guys-Smith and Barkley.

When the game was about to start, Smith said: "HEY/BOY, does today's game remind you of seven years ago?"

"Seven years ago?" Buckley figured out what he meant after thinking about it for a while, and said, "It's been a long time..." He knew that the kid was talking about kissing the ass of the donkey because of Yao Ming again.

"But I think you'll miss the taste of that donkey's butt...and I hear it was a female donkey."

The commentators in the United States are different from those in China who are rigid and need stability all the time.American narrators are unconstrained, and they often create a bit of "gunpowder smell" during the live broadcast, not necessarily because they are really angry, but to attract the attention of the audience.

After all, they rely on this to make a living.

"Don't mention this. In this game, I am very optimistic about the yellow-skinned No. 5. His recent performance is very surprising..."

"Did Yao make you fear the Chinese?" Smith joked.

"No, it's just that this Chinese man behaved very well... At least when facing the person who tried to imitate other people even sticking out his tongue, but changed his number to 24, he would use his actions to prove himself..."

Smith knew that the old boy was talking bad about Kobe again... he imitated other people by sticking out his tongue, and the number 24... only Kobe was really the only one.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be like this... A player who has just entered the league, compared with a player who has played in the league for more than ten years, may not be the same as the end of last season."

"I believe Zhong Yu can perform well." Barkley said: "Of course, it's only limited to this game against the Lakers..."

…………

The game officially begins.

In this game, basically the main players from both sides played.

The Hornets' starting lineup is still: Zhong Yu, Paul, Peja, West, Chandler.The starting lineup of the Lakers is: Bryant, Fisher, Odom, Gasol, Bynum.Both teams played all the starting five tigers.

It is conceivable that this may be a continuation of last season's Western Conference Finals. It is easy to imagine how good this game is.

"Crack!" The first jump ball was snatched by the Lakers and came into Fisher's hands. Fisher controlled the ball for half court, and then the Lakers spread out their formation.

The Lakers still use the triangle offense.

The Hornets also used a mixed defense of man-to-man and zone defense today, with Zhong Yu and Kobe facing off.

On the first ball, Kobe went to a 45-degree angle on the right wing and received a pass from Fisher.

Then, he used his skillful turnaround jumper, turning his footsteps, and Zhong Yu himself had difficulty grasping his true direction. Then, after a rotation around his right foot, Kobe suddenly jumped up, and then the turnaround jumper came .

"Bang!" The first ball was missed.

The Hornets began to fight back, and the ball was passed to Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu saw that Peja had a chance and passed the ball, and Peja missed his jumper.

The fans who watched this game did not expect that it would be a battle of the century... Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the game, the sound of iron strikes from the two teams came one after another, one after another.

The two teams hit the iron like this until one and a half minutes into the match, but neither team had made a single shot.

"Look, the rim was knocked out..." Barkley said: "Kobe's jump shot...it's nothing to say."

Smith smiled and said, "Didn't Zhong Yu also score a goal?"

Barkley: "Look..."

Now, the ball is in the hands of the Hornets, and they have not scored so far, which makes Paul's possession of the ball very cautious.

When the Lakers defended today, they used zone defense.

After Paul broke through, he broke through Fisher, and as soon as he entered the inside, Odom inside came up to defend because he had reached his area.

Facing Odom, Paul floated to the center line after shaking twice in a row and shot a jumper.

Odom couldn't stop this backwards, and flew out.It's just that the two teams may have been really cursed by the shooting curse today, and Paul's jumper missed again.

However, the rebound was caught by Zhong Yu, who had just entered the inside line, and he returned to beyond the three-point line, and Kobe followed suit.

Kobe raised one hand high to prevent Zhong Yu from jumping, and the other hand prevented him from breaking through.

Zhong Yu used two crotches to control the ball and change direction, and then, the speed increased!
He picked up the maximum speed, and broke through Kobe's left in one fell swoop.Kobe quickly backed away, and after the two entangled, they came to the inside of the free throw line.

Then, Zhong Yu used a crotch to control the ball, and his body moved directly sideways again, and he had already reached the bottom corner.

Gasol frowned... Kobe forgot his position again with the ball. Originally, zone defense meant that each player was in charge of his own zone.But Kobe may have been jealous, so he followed Zhong Yu down... In this way, in the zone defense, once a player does not abide by his own defensive zone, it is very likely to cause confusion in the defensive system.

But now is not the time to complain, Gasol can only stare at West next to him.

Zhong Yu saw that Kobe followed him without any hesitation. After reaching the bottom line, he jumped up without even standing still.

Kobe also followed suit, but Zhong Yu's fadeaway jump shot himself was helpless.I can only exert some limited pressure on Zhong Yu as much as possible. Zhong Yu's basketball has already been shot, and the parabola flies high with the basketball.

"Shh!"

Jump shot!

Beside the basketball court, bursts of boos came, including quite a few cheers.Because there are many fans of Zhong Yu among them, and now that Zhong Yu's jumper hits, he finally gave the two teams a hard time...

No matter how good the lineups of the two teams are, if they don't hit the ball, the fans will still be bored.

Just as Zhong Yu hit a jumper, the Lakers got the ball in Kobe's hands.Zhong Yu hit the first ball, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

It was also after Gasol came to the Lakers that Kobe was a little restrained. In the past two years, when Kobe wanted to score, even if he had a lot of irons, he had to do it himself. The Lakers became a crazy shot. The other teams were crazy rebounders.Now, Kobe has restrained a lot, but today his anger came again.

Maybe it's because you meet your opponent, maybe it's because you want revenge...

Kobe received the pass, and then used a tentative step to test Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu didn't know how he reacted, so he could only take a step back and defend Kobe's breakthrough.If he shoots suddenly, he can react as quickly as possible to defend his jump shot.

Kobe really hit the jump shot!However, Zhong Yu still couldn't cover him, and Kobe drifted a certain distance in the sky before making a shot.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the iron again.

Kobe's face became even colder, but it is conceivable that he will continue to shoot the next ball!

Instead of the Hornets grabbing the rebound, Bynum caught it and forced a layup, which missed but drew a foul from Chandler.Then, Bynum made two free throws, 2-1.

The ball returned to the hands of the Hornets. With the help of Zhong Yu's defense, Paul immediately entered the inside line. Gasol came up to defend. ft place!

Paul immediately passed the basketball.

Zhong Yu threw the ball as soon as he caught it.

"Shua!" There it is again!

Zhong Yu scored four points in a row, which made Kobe's fighting spirit even stronger. When he returned to halftime, he leaned against Zhong Yu with his back again, stuck in his position and asked Fisher for the ball.

Fisher passed the basketball to Kobe.

He has been teammates with Kobe for so many years, and there are many years after the Sharks swim east... He knows what kind of person Kobe is, and he is used to what kind of person Kobe is.

Kobe received the pass, turned around suddenly, and forced a breakthrough from Zhong Yu's left, but Zhong Yu also got stuck in the center this time, and Kobe couldn't make an inch here, so he suddenly retreated, followed by another fallback Jump shot!
Zhong Yu was almost able to block him. After Kobe's jumper flew out, he was still rejected by the basket.

It can be seen that Kobe feels bad today.

And Zhong Yu, after returning from halftime, cooperated with Paul in another pick-and-roll. Paul went all the way to the deep inside, which attracted enough defensive attention to Zhong Yu.Then Paul passed the basketball.

Zhong Yu took control of the ball and quickly walked away, leaving Kobe's area and arriving at Fisher's area... Kobe and Fisher came up to block together, but there was a little time lag, Zhong Yu seized the opportunity again and hit a jumper!

Zhong Yu hit three jumpers in a row and scored six points in a row.

In contrast to Kobe, the game has started for more than three minutes, and he has not scored a point.
