Chapter 189 The most classic heads-up! (Fourth update!)
Jeremy Lin doesn't have many shots in the Lakers lineup, especially when Kobe is on the court. Kobe is an attacking guard. He may not have the right to hold the ball, but he must have the right to shoot, otherwise his power will be exerted. not come out.

So Jeremy Lin can intersperse the organization on the court, but he really doesn't take many shots.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball halfway and began to create space for Kobe to catch the ball. Jeremy Lin dribbled to the same side as Kobe. Kobe blocked Zhang Xin and asked for the ball. Jeremy Lin lobbed it to Kobe. Make room to attack.

Kobe held the ball frame, tried to force Zhang Xin back with a tentative step, and immediately retracted the shooting action. Zhang Xin didn't hesitate, but his center of gravity had changed a little.

Kobe hit the ball from the right side and quickly broke through to the right side. Zhang Xin followed up with continuous cross steps, with dense footsteps, like tarsal maggots following Kobe.

Kobe felt the pressure of a defensive leader from Zhang Xin. This may be the strongest defender he has ever encountered since he entered the NBA!
Zhang Xin's hands are clean and his footsteps are dense, like a tarsal maggot. His torso is strong and powerful, and he will give tough resistance from time to time!

Kobe felt very uncomfortable, Zhang Xin's defense was very targeted, constantly interrupting his rhythm, and it was not easy for him to shoot in a comfortable rhythm.

But Kobe is Kobe. He has encountered countless defenders in his life. Basically, the defenders who defend him every night are famous for their defense: Scottie Pippen, Lagabell, Bruce Bowen, Tony Allen , Trevor Ariza, Shane Battier, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green...

And Ruben Patterson, the self-proclaimed Kobe Terminator!
He has long been used to scoring under the tight defense of all kinds of defensive pioneers. What makes his real efficiency drop is those teams that limit him as a whole. No one can really limit him in a single defense, even Bryant himself admitted to defending his most successful defender, Tony Allen.

Tony Allen was publicly evaluated by Kobe as the most difficult defensive master he has ever faced, and he is also the player most worthy of the title of Kobe's Terminator.

Kobe described Allen this way: "I always know what to do on the court, and Allen always knows how to guard me."

And Kobe averaged "only" 26.0 points per game from Allen, which is already the best performance among all Kobe finishers!

And Allen has publicly praised Kobe more than once for how difficult he is to defend. He once said: "Kobe's fighting spirit is so tenacious that you have to respect him."

So unless Bryant is out of shape one night and becomes an L.A. blacksmith, every defender who calls himself a Kobe finisher is just a joke.

Although Zhang Xin has made a lot of efforts, the defense is obviously in place, it can be said that it is extremely tight, and he has arranged a tight defensive net for Kobe, but Kobe is like a spear that is the sharpest and most suitable for attacking. , is a hole!
Fortunately, Zhang Xin is also a person who can't be defended, at least not alone. Even if Kobe uses many methods such as squeezing, pressing, pulling, pulling, balling, disrupting Zhang Xin's rhythm, etc., Zhang Xin can still get in!

Zhang Xin has a lot of means, three-point pull-up, three-point jumper after shaking, dunking straight to the basket after shaking Kobe, breaking through Kobe and succeeding in the mid-range shot, back-up singles and back-up jumper, and many methods take turns!
Not to mention that the fans at the scene were fascinated by watching, even the other players on the field watched closely: there is such a wonderful magical technique in the world!
...Oh, no, there are actually two people in the world who are so proficient in offensive techniques, and they can use all kinds of offensive methods at their fingertips, amazing!

Steve Kerr was smiling, but his heart was full of waves. The last person he saw with such means was Michael Jordan, that big hooligan, and Kerr was his teammate at that time.

I didn't expect to be able to coach a player as powerful as Michael Jordan as the head coach. God is so lucky for him!so lucky!

Cole was so happy that he was almost dizzy. As for whether Zhang Xin and Kobe's heads-up would hurt the team, there was no need to worry about it.

The NBA has always had a tradition of single-handed superstars, but it slowly disappeared in the league as those veteran superstars went away, but it was not completely absent;
Zhang Xin has a high prestige in the team, almost all teammates are very convinced of Zhang Xin, and some even obey Zhang Xin, such as Green, Simmons, etc.;

Zhang Xin is a team player, this kind of situation is rare, but his teammates are very understanding when encountering such a situation.

Kobe and Zhang Xin fought vigorously for half a quarter. You come and go, and no one can guard the other. After half the quarter, the score between the two sides is 14:20. After all, Zhang Xin shot more three-pointers and was more efficient.

As soon as the rotation time came, Cole quickly replaced Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin was a little out of breath. Head-to-head is the most tiring. Those who have played heads-up with friends should know that three balls can consume your strength. What's more, such a high-intensity confrontation in the NBA!

Kobe was also replaced by Byron Scott. Kobe and Zhang Xin looked at each other and smiled as they passed the Warriors' bench.

When Zhang Xin came down, Cole patted Zhang Xin on the shoulder with a smile, expressing his love for his disciple.

Others like Livingston, Barbosa, David Lee and others all excitedly came over to give Zhang Xin a high five. Such a pure heads-up is rare, and several conditions must be met to make it possible:
The two heads-up players are the bosses of the team, so that other people will not have any objections;

The strength of the two heads-up players is not much different, and they are both players with outstanding offensive capabilities;
The offensive efficiency of the two is very high!
If these conditions are not met, it is impossible to turn the game into a one-on-one game. Only when the prestige is sufficient, the strength is equal, the offensive style is in line with the routine, the efficiency is already high, and the game is not hurt, it is possible to do it!

Kobe and Zhang Xin singled out for half a quarter, which is probably unique in the history of the NBA!
The two must score almost every goal. The solid and gorgeous scoring method is rare in the world. This is definitely the most classic shot of heads-up matchup!
Zhang Xin adjusted slowly on the bench, watched the game while drinking water, Kobe and Zhang Xin went off, the game finally returned to normal, suppressed the players on both sides in the half, and released a powerful attacking ability!

Jeremy Lin's offensive ability is not a vegetarian. He cooperates with Boozer in high positions repeatedly, or scores by himself or passes to Boozer. Boozer has a mid-range shot.

Curry and Bogut pick and roll at a high position, attacking the slow-footed Boozer, or scoring or attracting double-teams to the outside.

Neither side can defend the other.

At the end of the first quarter, the score is 38:32, and the Warriors temporarily lead by 6 points
