NBA: Starting with James Harden

On the Mavericks bench, Li Zhen received various kinds of celebrations from his teammates.

Scoring 9 points in a row, Li Zhen showed his usual explosive scoring power on the court.

Veterans such as Kidd, Nowitzki, and Marion like Li Zhen more and more.

The better Li Zhen is, the less pressure they have on them.

Before Li Zhen showed up, they often had to go up to catch up, but since Li Zhen came, the time when Li Zhen was on the court was the time to catch up, and they could sit back and rest safely on the sidelines.

They don't want to carry everything on their shoulders, and Li Zhen has a bright future.

The domestic live broadcast bar also paid special attention to this focus battle.

"Farmar, Brown, and Artest couldn't defend against him."

"Li Zhen is awesome, his scoring ability is amazing"

"If I have the right to vote, I will vote for Li Zhen as the best sixth man"

"Li Zhen is challenging everyone"

"Li Zhen's status must also be continued."

"Kobe is coming, let's see how Li Zhen plays"

"Come on Li Zhen, beat Kobe"......

Domestic fans are extremely excited now. Li Zhen is getting better and better in the NBA and is heading for superstardom, which makes fans very happy.

As for Li Zhen's fraud, most fans think it is a reasonable use of the rules.

These domestic fans may criticize Harden for fraud, but they will not criticize Li Zhen, because Li Zhen is really one of them. Domestic fans still protect their shortcomings on major issues...........

Lakers bench.

The Zen Master told Kobe very seriously:"Don't fight with that rookie, try to double-team him, and save your energy to deal with their starters."

Kobe shook his head and said,"No need to double-team him, I can deal with him."

Kobe shook his head firmly.

The Zen Master looked at Kobe, and helplessly, the Zen Master sighed and compromised.

Kobe is so persistent sometimes.

Soon, with the referee's whistle, the game started again.

Li Zhen was a little confused.

Kobe, Artest, Odom, Gasol, and Bynum appeared on the court at the same time.

Damn it.

Kobe, can you have some shame?

What lineup do I have, what lineup do you have?

Li Zhen really wanted to scold Kobe for being shameless, and if he had the ability, he could bring the second lineup to do it.

Unfortunately, Kobe ignored his resentful eyes.

Carlisle's face darkened. He didn't expect the Zen Master to be so cruel and directly use the Lakers' strongest five-man team.

Carlisle was also ready to call Kidd and Nowitzki to their positions at any time, and to make substitutions immediately if the situation was not right.

Kobe played the point guard role in this lineup.

The Lakers attacked.

Kobe dribbled over.

Li Zhen went over to defend.

Although Kobe's dribbling was not fancy, he was very steady in ball protection, and there was no possibility for Li Zhen to intercept his dribbling.

Li Zhen felt very tired.

In the first game against the Cavaliers, he faced James.

In the second game against the Heat, he faced Wade.

Tonight against the Lakers, he faced Kobe. He had only played a few games in the league, and all the opponents were the league's top superstars.

If it weren't for the fact that a few minutes had passed in the second quarter, Li Zhen would have wanted to use his ultimate move, but it would be a bit of a waste to use it now.

After Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he started to scold:"Hey, rookie, don't steal the ball, you can't."

Li Zhen tried to cut the ball desperately, but he really couldn't.

Kobe dribbled the ball behind his back and then to his left hand, then said,"Let's go one-on-one, see if you can defend me?"

Kobe was very vindictive. He remembered the ESPN report and Li Zhen's provocative look and shout.

Before Li Zhen could reply, Kobe dribbled the ball from the top of the arc, adjusted himself, and then he collected the ball, jumped up, and leaned back.

Although Li Zhen's 72-meter defense was strong, it was obviously not enough to face Kobe. He tried his best to reach out to block Kobe's eyes, but failed to disrupt Kobe's rhythm.

""Swish!!" As soon as Kobe came on the court, the score was 31 to 35

, he made a three-pointer in front of Li Zhen's defense!

Li Zhen was a little desperate. How could he defend against this?

Among the SS-level superstars, Kobe's offense is more difficult to defend than James and Wade.

Wade and James both rely on talent to a certain extent, but Kobe is different. He relies more on skills and rhythm.

Li Zhen tried his best on this ball just now, but he couldn't defend it.

After scoring, Kobe retreated with a smile on his face.

Carlisle waved his hand, and Kidd and Nowitzki went to the technical table, ready to wait for a dead ball to change players.

There is no way, the Mavericks' lineup is too different from the Lakers' lineup.

Li Zhen's defense of Kobe is actually a normal matchup, let's look at other positions.

Artest versus Terry, this is a mismatch, there is no way to defend.

Gasol and Bynum double-teaming Haywood, this is even more incomparable.

On the court, the Mavericks continued to attack.

Li Zhen did not resolutely go for a singles this time, but first gave the ball to Terry.

But the Lakers' defense was strong, and Terry and others could not play against the Lakers' opponent.

Finally, Haywood, who had the ball, gave it back to Li Zhen with 8 seconds left on the offensive time.

During this period, Li Zhen was the absolute boss on the Mavericks' court, and all the offense revolved around him.

""Rookie, play, why don't you play? Don't you just want me to play?" Kobe kept pestering Li Zhen.

As a guard who entered the first team of defense nine times, Kobe's defensive ability is unquestionable.

Kobe stretched his arms a little far away. He was more afraid of Li Zhen's foul. After all, Li Zhen's style of play was too shameless.

Kobe was not afraid of Li Zhen's three-pointer even if he was a little far away. Even if there was a little distance, his reaction and speed could interfere with Li Zhen's shot. The cheers of Staples fans rose again.

The fans at the scene were booing Li Zhen.

Li Zhen did not hesitate. He started dribbling immediately.

Left! Counter-pull! Change of direction.

Kobe had to move with Li Zhen's rhythm, otherwise Li Zhen could easily pass him.

Li Zhen changed direction to the right and sprinted.

Kobe also changed his center of gravity immediately. Li Zhen's breakthrough action was too realistic. Kobe thought Li Zhen was going to break through.

But Li Zhen unexpectedly took a big step back!

【[Step-back jump shot]

Li Zhen has tried his best to step back as far as possible.

Kobe's defense is very strong, and his interference is stronger than others.

But Li Zhen's step-back is very buggy, which is to create shooting space.

If there is no shooting space, then there is only one possibility, that is, the defender fouled.

Li Zhen stepped back and completed the jump shot under Kobe's strong interference!!

Fortunately, Li Zhen's rhythm today is very good and his touch is also very soft.

The basketball flew over Kobe's head and went straight to the basket

""Shua"

34 to 35.

Li Zhen returned a three-pointer to Kobe

"This is for you!!"

Li Zhen raised his three-pointer gesture and staggered back to the half court.

For Li Zhen, nothing is more exciting than making a three-pointer in front of his idol.

Li Zhen grew up watching Kobe play. Today, no matter how Kobe trash-talked him, Li Zhen did not show much resistance, which was different from Artest who wanted to deliberately pick a fight.

Li Zhen knew very well that this was because he and Kobe were the same kind of people.

As long as they were on the court, they would try their best to compete and win.

After being hit by Li Zhen, Kobe's face became even darker.

No need to pass the ball, just fight back.
