NBA: Become stronger by dunking

Chapter 119

【119】Warriors vs. Lakers, live broadcast nationwide!

Kobe's fadeaway jumper?

Su Mo's mouth curled up, and he was secretly delighted.

He is now proficient in dunking, layups with phantom steps, and three-pointers from the outside, but his offensive means in the mid-range area need to be enriched.

So, Su Mo must get this [Kobe's fadeaway jumper training package] today.

Can he produce more gorgeous data than the league's No. 1 player, Kobe Bryant?

Su Mo frowned. To be honest, it is difficult to produce more gorgeous data than the league's No. 1 player.

After all, Kobe is now a leader with good offense and defense, and the Lakers have the twin towers of Gasol + Bynum in the interior.

But Su Mo's eyes were full of fighting spirit and fearlessness.

In this game, he not only has to produce more gorgeous data than Kobe, but also has to lead the team to victory and pull the defending champion off the altar.

A battle for the league's No. 1 player?

Su Mo knew that this victory would not allow him to truly become the No. 1 player in the league, but at least it would allow him to completely enter the discussion of the future No. 1 player in the league.

Seeing Kobe, Gasol and others on one side of the court, Su Mo's eyes were already burning with a burning flame.

He couldn't wait to play.

The thought of facing off against the No. 1 player in the league made Su Mo very excited.

At the referee's signal, the main players of the two teams walked onto the court and prepared to start the jump ball.

The starting lineup of the Warriors continued the five tigers lineup of the previous game: Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, Stephen Jackson, Su Mo, and Anthony Tolliver.

The starting five tigers of the Lakers also made a shocking appearance. They are:

Point guard:"Old Fish" Derek Fisher.

Shooting guard:"Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant.

Small forward:"Beast" Ron Artest.

Power forward:"Sister-in-law" Pau Gasol.

Center:"Little Shark" Andrew Bynum.

The starting five of the defending champions can be said to be the most gorgeous starting lineup among all 30 teams in the league.

In addition to Fisher, who is in the twilight of his career, Kobe and Gasol are both league superstars who can stand on their own, and Artest and Bynum are also very strong.

In comparison, the starting lineup of the Warriors is much shabby. Except for Su Mo who beat Ron Artest at the small forward position, the other four positions can be said to have no advantages.

Under this intuitive starting player matchup, it is even more difficult for the Warriors to defend their home court and win the defending champion.

On the commentary desk, Mike Breen joked,"If the other Warriors players can't find their form today, it will be like Su Mo carrying the team alone against the entire Lakers. Regardless of the final outcome, he will put up crazy numbers!"

Van Gundy's eyes widened and he spread his hands,"The Warriors don't really have much of a chance of winning. If there's still hope of winning, it can only be Su Mo creating a miracle again!" At the Oakland Arena, the Warriors fans at home couldn't help but gasp when they saw the starting five of the Purple and Gold Army.

"The defending champion has a different momentum. It looks like there will be a fierce battle tonight!"

"Are there any different kinds of people among kings, princes, generals, and ministers? Come on Warriors, come on Su Mo, beat the Lakers!"

"I look forward to the confrontation between Su Mo and Kobe. Regardless of winning or losing, this game should be a very exciting one!"

Lakers diehard Jack Nicholson, who was sitting in the first row on the sidelines, crossed his arms, his eyes full of interest, waiting for Kobe to teach rookie Su Mo a lesson.

The game officially began, and the centers of both teams jumped the ball.

Bynum was tall and had long arms, so he grabbed the basketball with both hands and then passed it to"Old Fish" Fisher in the backcourt.

After Fisher dribbled the ball across half court, he immediately gave the ball to Kobe who was asking for the ball in the high position.

The moment Kobe received the ball, Su Mo's figure immediately rushed forward.

"Su Mo started the game defending Kobe? This matchup is too exciting!"

Mike Brin exclaimed on the commentary desk.

"It seems that the Warriors had already arranged a defensive strategy in advance, letting Su Mo defend Kobe throughout the game. Now it's going to be interesting!"

Within a few seconds of the start, the direct confrontation between Su Mo and Kobe instantly attracted the attention of tens of thousands of fans.

The entire Oakland Arena fell silent in an instant.

It seemed that every sound of the basketball hitting could be heard.

"Su Mo, you are a very good rookie, but you are still just a rookie after all. What I want to do today is to make you understand this!"

Before Kobe finished speaking coldly, he suddenly started a breakthrough, then pulled back, and jumped directly against Su Mo's defense, and shot backward.

Su Mo gritted his teeth and jumped hard, but how could he block Kobe's backward jump shot?

Lao Ke, what a show, a trick at the beginning!

The basketball flew over Su Mo's head and whizzed towards the basket.

Everyone's eyes were now fixed on the basketball flying in the air.

""Bang!"

A dull sound of iron suddenly sounded, and Kobe missed his first shot.

""Bang!"

Before Su Mo and other Warriors players could breathe a sigh of relief, the"little shark" Bynum grabbed the frontcourt rebound and dunked it instantly.

""Boom!"

The whole audience was in uproar.

Su Mo sighed secretly, this is fucking, the Lakers' inside line is really strong.

In the 2009-10 phase of the league, it has not yet entered the small ball era, and it is still in the stage of"whoever controls the inside line controls the world".

The reason why the Lakers have been able to reach the finals twice in a row and win a championship has a lot to do with Gasol's joining and Bynum's growth.

If it weren't for the twin towers, even if Kobe Bryant performed explosively, the Lakers still couldn't get their hands on the O'Brien Cup.

The ball was changed, and the Warriors attacked.

Su Mo received the pass from Ellis in the frontcourt and faced Kobe head-on.

The atmosphere in the entire stadium quieted down again.

After a short pause and a test, Su Mo suddenly started.

After a misleading change of direction, relying on Iverson's speed, he directly passed Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was already 31 years old in the 2009-10 season. His skills improved, but his speed declined. He was no match for Iverson at his peak.

Su Mo passed Kobe and went straight to the basket. Facing Bynum who jumped high, he showed no panic.

He changed hands in mid-air and dunked.

""Bang!"

Su Mo smashed the basketball into the basket, and the referee's whistle blew.

""Beep!"
