Chapter 357: The Role of the Old Guy
Lamar didn't mean to slow down at all, his body shook from side to side, and then he made a turn to break through Shaq's defense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Kobe Bryant, who was ambushed in the back, couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect that he hadn't seen Lamar for a summer, Lamar's strength had become stronger, and the person who had just passed looked so relaxed, as if Lamar didn't take Shaq in his eyes at all. In fact, Lamar still took advantage of his small size and flexibility, so that he could easily pass Shaq. The key is that Shaq has gained a lot of weight over the summer.
Bryant knows that he is already the last line of defense for the team, if he is broken by Lamar again. If Lamar puts up some great slam dunk, the team's morale will definitely take a hit. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and rushed towards Lamar, but he had just taken a step.
Lamar jumped to his feet, his terrifying jumping ability on full display, holding the basketball high, fully stretched, and gliding straight to the basket.
Kobe Bryant had no choice but to jump, although he knew very well that he couldn't stop Lamar's powerful impact with his own strength, but as long as he could delay his momentum, it would be fine. Kobe Bryant believes that at such a distance, even Lamar, after being interfered with, there is no way to slam the dunk successfully.
Although Kobe Bryant thought well, he still underestimated Lamar's ability, without the slightest doubt, Kobe was hit out by Lamar and smashed directly into the group of reporters behind the basket, but Lamar's speed of sliding was not affected in the slightest.
"Boom!"
The fans were shocked that Lamar actually succeeded in dunking when he was interfered with by Kobe.
After landing on the ground, Lamar looked at Kobe Bryant, who was still on the ground, and said fiercely: "Despicable guy, be careful! I'm here to beat you today!"
The first offense after the start of the game ended with a stunning dunk by Lamar. And Kobe, the future banner of the Los Angeles Lakers, actually played the role of moving the set in this offense, and was slammed out by Lamar, looking very embarrassed.
Looking at Lamar's back, Kobe, who was still on the ground, gritted his teeth.
"Looks like this kid is very serious, does this guy really want to take Staples Center Arena?
The answer, of course, is no, as the spiritual leader of the Los Angeles Lakers, after being attacked by Lamar, Shaq certainly has to make a due response.
"Mark, give me the ball!" Shaq beckoned to Mark Jackson, who was organizing on the outside.
Mark Jackson's heart trembled, and then he laughed. Passed the ball to Shaq, who was very happy to see the Knicks being cleaned up by Shaq on the inside.
Shaq leaned back after receiving the ball and felt the strength of Dampot's defense. Seeing this, Lamar immediately pressed up from the side.
Van Gundy also hesitated for a long time about who to use to defend Shaq in this game, and in the end, considering Shaq's perverted strength and flexible interior pace, he still arranged for Dhampoter, who was not weaker than Shaq's speed and agility, to take on the heavy responsibility. This is also a way to no way, it can be regarded as a big one among the short ones!
After all, the team's good defense is not as strong as Shaq's, and a fast defense like Lamar is not very good. Originally, Van Gundy wanted Olajuwon to defend Shaq, but eventually abandoned the idea.
Although Olajuwon's defense is strong and experienced, the physical strength and footsteps of the nearly 40-year-old guy obviously can't keep up with Shaq. If Olajuwon is 5 years younger, he is definitely the best person to defend against the monster Shaq, and maybe he can make Shaq have a good drink!
Shaq couldn't help but laugh when he saw that it was rookie Dampotter who came to defend him, and said while dribbling: "Do you really think that you little rookie can guard me?"
"Of course, I promised Jeff that I'm here today to guard against you!" said Dampoter, looking coldly at Shaq.
"Great! Just let me see what you, a rookie, learned in the Big Apple?"
Before the words fell, Shaq started, without superfluous feints, he arched up completely with his strength, his body was as low as possible, and one hand could almost touch the floor.
"It's not that easy!"
If you want to talk about fighting pure strength, in the entire league, Dampotter is really not afraid of anyone, although Dampoter's own strength is not very strong. The moment Shaq leaned over, he also leaned forward, and it seemed that he was not at a disadvantage at all.
But is that all there is to it? Shaq's success on the field today depends not only on his strong will to never give up until the end of the game, but also because of his fighting spirit. The most important thing is the huge energy and strength contained in his first physical strength.
In the midst of the fierce confrontation, Shaq suddenly slammed into his body, then leaned back and quickly retracted, almost stepping on his original pace, and retreated to the diagonal side of the other leg. Then the whole person turned around like a twisted spring, and before Darmpotter could react, Shaq half-turned and came to the other side of Darmspoter.
By this time, Dampot had completely lost his position, and it was too late to think about the defense, so he could only watch as Shaq passed him and scored the ball with a hook layup.
"Huh!"
With Shaq's wonderful breakthrough attack, the Staples Center immediately fell into a frenzy, and in their opinion, there was no more suitable thing for Shaq, a Los Angeles bigwig, to teach the Knicks by himself.
Lamar glanced at Shaq, who was celebrating the goal with his teammates, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
This is the real Shaq, a strong man who will fearlessly attack the enemy even in the face of a strong enemy.
After the captains of the two teams greeted each other, the game was on the right track, and the two sides fought back and forth very fiercely.
It's just that behind this fierceness is the never-ending silent showdown between Lamar and Kobe. Shaq, the boss of the team, actually started to work as a blue-collar worker after showing his fangs in his first attack.
"Boom!"
Lamar once again broke through Coat-Thomas and staged a brilliant dunk.
But soon Kobe Bryant took advantage of Battier's lax defense, asked for the ball quickly, and then chased down to play a fast break and scored a layup.
At this time, a crowd suddenly stood in the audience behind the basketball hoop on the Knicks' side, all wearing the uniform Kobe Bryant's No. 8 jersey. Just as the rest of the audience looked at them curiously, wondering what the guys were going to do, they suddenly started singing, as if they had been rehearsed beforehand.
"We don't need that New York son, we don't need that traitor, and we don't get depressed when he betrays his faith, because we still have you, the eternal darling of L.A. -- Kobe, you're the eternal hero of L.A. The belief that you will never admit defeat will make the whole world crazy for you。。。。。。
Maybe their voices are not so rich and beautiful, but when they are sung by these hundreds of people at this time, they are very infectious, and the other fans can't help but sing along with their brilliance, and only one sentence is left in the end.
"Kobe Bryant is our forever L.A. darling!"
Shaq saw very clearly that the leader of the group of fans was the strong man who told him yesterday that he wanted to entertain Lamar in his own way, but he didn't expect them to use such a way. It's just that this way makes him feel very bad, Kobe Bryant is the darling of Los Angeles? So what am I? You must know that I am the core of the Los Angeles Lakers, the only core! I am the king of Los Angeles!
Singing is rare in the NBA, and Americans will only cheer noisily after their own team scores and shout "defend" when their opponents attack! It is the first time that a fan has written a song for Kobe Bryant to be treated like today, and even Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, has never received such treatment.
Lamar was stunned, with bursts of bitterness in his heart, gritting his teeth and looking at Kobe Bryant, who was enjoying the fans' support. How he once longed to replace Kobe Bryant as the city's future hero, to be the city's banner. When his wish was not fulfilled, he reluctantly chose to leave and went to New York to create a world of his own, becoming the son of New York.
Lamar's approach is naturally difficult for fans to understand, and it may be that in the hearts of Los Angeles people in the future, his image will always be associated with the word traitor.
Kobe Bryant's most important thing in his heart at this time was to be moved, this strong man was rarely vulnerable in front of the fans, and his eyes were full of tears, but he quickly turned around and shouted loudly to the other players: "Let's prevent this ball and give these arrogant New Yorkers a little color!"
Seeing that Lamar's mood fluctuated a little, Van Gundy couldn't help but be a little worried, and just thought about whether he should replace Lamar, but a scene on the field made him dispel this idea.
After receiving a pass from Chaunci Billups, Lamar forced a jump shot in the face of Cott Thomas's tight defense. Three-point hit.
Lamar didn't go to high-five Chauncey Billups, who passed the ball to him, after the goal, but walked past his own half with his head held high.
Actually, Son of New York is also a good title, so let Kobe stay here and be his favorite in Los Angeles!
"What a tough guy!" Cott Thomas looked a little annoyed that he couldn't stop Lamar, especially when Lamar forced him to jump, and he actually dodged his own block.
"Kort, be focused!" Shaq tapped Coat-Thomas on the back, reminding his new teammate.
