Chapter 190: Little O'Neal Gets Stronger
"Poor little boy! Come on! I'll take good care of you, you don't look very good, was it because your wife didn't satisfy you last night or because you were a useless guy who was kicked out of bed by your wife. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Not only are there many hidden little actions, but Lamar's current trash talk is also squirting out of his experience, becoming more and more insidious, often using the opponent's discordant sex life as a gimmick to spray endlessly.
Little O'Neal didn't like him, muttered a few words in a native Indian dialect that no one could understand, and suddenly turned around and made a shooting gesture with the ball upward.
Lamar immediately became cautious when he saw this, Lamar was not stupid, and he had enough experience, he could see little O'Neal's baby face with a playful smile.
O'Neal Jr. didn't expect Lamar to be so deceived by himself, there was no way, he had to move his feet quickly, bypass Lamar's body, and then hit the ball with Lamar's forced hook layup.
"Boy, it's too naïve for you to try to prevent me!"
"Damn!**** luck is really against the sky!" Lamar also had nothing to say about little O'Neal's luck.
Shaq came over and comforted his buddy, "Don't mind! ”
Lamar looked at the enthusiastic Shaq and said, "I should have said that his wife and Reggie Miller have a leg." ”
"Ahh
Little O'Neal, who was already running back, obviously heard the conversation between Lamar and Shaq, and almost fell down! Even Reggie Miller on the side had a black line on his head, and he almost said, "My wife and I have a good relationship!"
The Pacers began attacking the Lakers' most threatening interior from the start, trying to take advantage of O'Neal Jr.'s point for continuous strong attacks.
Lamar is not a rookie, and he has never faced Tim Duncan, let alone O'Neal Jr., who has not yet reached his peak!
The Lakers still relied on Shaq's personal play to open up the situation, and the Pacers didn't seem to have a good way to curb Shak's interior attack, so they simply let Shaq overturn the river and the sea on his inside.
By the sixth minute of the game, Bryant had already scored six points, but Artest's legendary tough defense was still nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, I've already scored six points, aren't you going to keep my score within fifteen?" Taking advantage of the offensive gap, Kobe Bryant finally couldn't help but ask, he couldn't figure out what Artest was thinking.
Who knew that Artest actually smiled, this kind of expression was rare on his face: "Don't worry!
"You're not trying to ban me after I've scored fifteen points. Bryant felt that Artest's idea was a bit naïve, even a little arrogant, and even the toughest opponents he had faced so far, Gary Payton and Prince, couldn't do that.
"You can think so!"
At this time, Lamar passed the ball, he has not made many Lamar shots so far in this game, scored 6 points on two of four shots, and most of his energy was spent on defending O'Neal Jr. and organizing the offense, to be honest, O'Neal Jr.'s defense is still good, at least this guy is higher than Lamar, and his flexibility is not bad.
Bryant received a pass from Lamar and was about to take action in the face of Artest, when he suddenly felt like Artest pounced like a beast. Completely different from the lazy appearance just now, Artest at this time is simply like a monster covered in steel needles, and even the defense looks so aggressive.
"Come on, boy, let me see what else you have up your sleeve. Artest stretched out his arms and stuck to Kobe Bryant's body, looking like if it weren't for the referee watching from the side, he even wanted to directly take Kobe Bryant down with a takedown.
Kobe Bryant saw that the opponent's defense had become tighter, and he didn't dare to be careless, turned around and leaned on the opponent with his back, and suddenly moved sideways, opened the gap, and was about to break inside.
Artest reacted and hurriedly took a step back, trying to block Kobe's attack route.
Although he said before the game that he wanted to limit Kobe's score to 15 points, he didn't dare to be careless, judging from the first six minutes of the game, Kobe's offensive methods are varied, often making people unguardable, especially breakthroughs, it is estimated that there are few stronger than him in the league now.
Kobe Bryant was waiting for this moment, the moment Artest stepped back, he suddenly retracted his body leaning forward, changed hands under his crotch to stabilize his center of gravity, and then jumped up to make a three-pointer, and the basketball was firmly into the basket.
Artest only had time to raise his hand to interfere, and he could only watch the ball get into the basket.
"There are seven points left. Without waiting for the opponent to turn his head, Kobe Bryant said coldly.
"Good!" Artest also smiled, probably not to meet this kind of opponent for a long time, there are really not many people in the league who can make him so embarrassed, counting the AI, Carter and this guy on the court now.
It's just that Atai obviously didn't expect this kid's desire to attack tonight to be so powerful, which made the beast feel very excited.
When the Pacers attacked, Miller's old gun finally began to be powerful, and after receiving the pass, he didn't even pause for a second, and jumped directly from the three-point line! Murray, who defended him, didn't even react at all, maybe he didn't expect Miller's shot to be so fast, or maybe he didn't expect Miller, who had been silent for half a quarter, to suddenly jump out and kill people at this time.
After the goal, Miller roared at Phil Jackson in the Lakers coach's box!
The head coach of the Pacers nodded and gestured to the court, and the whole team of the Pacers understood that the coach meant to focus the offense on Miller on the perimeter from now on.
That's the key to the Pacers' ability to crisscross the East now, with consistent scoring points inside and outside, and then it's up to us to see if the other advantage can be used.
When Kobe Bryant attacked with the ball again, he felt that Artest behind him put more pressure on him, and it was difficult to almost take a step, this kind of pressing close defense he had seen in Gary Payton when he played in the preseason, and he had seen it on Scott Pippen, but he didn't expect to meet another one today.
What's even worse is that Artest not only has the same defensive strength as those two people, but also has amazing strength. The first two times he won by luck, but I don't know what the outcome will be this time.
Seeing that several attempts had no effect, the opponent had already been fooled once, and this time it was not so easy to fall into the trap again, and the time to attack was running out, so he had to pass the ball back to Lamar.
Phil Jackson frowned!
Phil found another problem in Kobe Bryant in addition to his personality, the lack of ability to run without the ball. That is to say, when there is no ball in his hand, Kobe's power is at least halved. Kobe Bryant will almost only stand in place and wait for the ball to come, and will not take the initiative to run to create an opening, but the opponent will not give him the opportunity to start calmly, and by the time the ball is passed to him, the defender has already pressed up.
Kobe Bryant is the only offensive core of the team's outside line, and the ball is in Kobe's hands most of the time except for the organization of Lamar, so this shortcoming is not obvious, and can only be found by careful observation!
In this game, the Pacers' outside defense was very strong, and the Lakers finally hit a good litmus test, and these shortcomings of Kobe Bryant were immediately exposed.
If Kobe's offensive strength has reached the postdoctoral level, then his defense is at the college level, and his ability to run without the ball is at most a junior high school graduate.
Thankfully, Bryant's offense can cover up these shortcomings on a large scale, and fortunately, he plays an outside player who can keep the ball in his hands for more time.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and Kobe Bryant's basketball IQ is very high, and he trains hard! It's just that the previous training did not target his own shortcomings, and it is still too late to correct them.
Time stayed in Kobe's hands for a little longer, leaving not enough time for Lamar to attack, Lamar's jumper hit the iron!Forster got the rebound and passed directly to Tinsley, who had already started running, and the latter scored an easy layup.
"Boy, I told you to keep your score under fifteen. ”
Bryant didn't say anything, turned around and went back to catch the ball.
Lamar felt that his performance in that attack was too clumsy, and he is now starting to realize that his means of attacking are still a little inadequate!
What is the reason, or if your skills are not solid enough, if you have a better technique, you will definitely be able to score easily. It's just that he doesn't want to think about who else in the league can easily score when faced with a face-to-face close defense.
Chauncy dribbled the ball past half-time and handed it to Lamar, who he trusted the most, and O'Neill Jr. posted it again, still babbling in his mouth.
"Come on, try to break through my defense, don't you have a lot of tricks? Now how can you look like a hairy boy who cries when his mother is not around, where is your majesty!"
Lamar also ignored the other party's trash talk, he just wanted to defeat this guy who disgusted him now. O'Neal Jr. has also been in the league for four years, and the usual feints are almost useless to him. Lamar had no choice but to eat hard, but as soon as he tried his best, he only touched the other party's body slightly, and little O'Neill fell backwards with a scream, as if he had been hit by a car.
"Beep !!"
The referee's whistle blew and he pointed his hand at Lamar to signal for an offensive foul.
Lamar didn't say anything, looking at the pretending O'Neal who was still lying on the ground, he knew that it was useless to argue with the referee! This was indeed a foul, but O'Neal's performance was a bit exaggerated.
Xiao Ao got up from the ground and said to Lamar proudly, "Boy, this is also a kind of defense, but it is really rare for someone like you to choose to be brutal in such a situation." ”
