Chapter 161: Epiphany on the Pitch

Fisher passed the ball to Rademanovic, who passed it to Gasol in the low post and ran to the baseline.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant didn't catch the ball, Zhou Xuan had a little headache. When the ball gets to other places, you can only count on your teammates to play.

If you want to say who he is most afraid of receiving the ball, it must be Gasol. Because Gasol played Randolph in a low position, his height and arm span were advantageous, and the two of them had been in opposition in recent years, at least it was a mutual explosion, and Randolph couldn't prevent Gasol.

Gasol leaned on Randolph with his back after receiving the ball, dribbled two steps to the middle and turned around to hook his hand, his arm is too long, it is said that the arm span is 230CM, it is the first active player, such a long arm hook, unless it is a spring man, it is impossible to block it head-on, Randolph just reached out and cocked his toes, and the ball went in! 13 to 10.

Before Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball in the half, Kobe Bryant came up to force him, wanting to teach the "rookie" a lesson.

Sun Yue is very good at ingratiating himself with Kobe, and he is also together when he flies away, and he is very respectful to him. When he went to the Olympics in 2008, Bryant went to China and was treated like he had never been in the United States, and fans shouted at him and asked for autographs, looking like worshipping a god. He suspected that he was not an idol but some kind of "totem" for the Chinese, and now suddenly a Chinese who did not put him in his eyes appeared, Kobe Bryant was very unaccustomed, he wanted to fight until Zhou Xuanfu was served.

Zhou Xuan felt the pressure, guarded the basketball while observing the running position of his teammates, and handed it to Azubuke on the left.

Azubuuk received the ball and suddenly accelerated, shook off Radmanovic with a change of direction, and shot a quick stop jump shot from inside the three-point line, and the ball was also hit. 15 to 10.

This season, the Warriors are averaging 108 per game. 6 points, ranking first in the league, this statistic is not all due to playing weak teams.

The Lakers offense, the Warriors' defense also changed, Biedrins followed Gasol, and Randolph defended Bynum.

The Warriors always scored in these rounds, and Kobe Bryant also realized that the Warriors were not so easy to deal with, so he took the ball on the perimeter and found Bynum's cover.

Zhou Xuan immediately realized that it was bad, Randolph chose the wrong direction for changing defenses, and Kobe Bryant threw off Zhou Xuan and made a one-step stop jump shot and hollowed into the net. 15 to 12.

Once Kobe Bryant is opened, it will be difficult for the Warriors to win.

"Come on, I'll see why you've been in the All-Defensive Team so many times." Zhou Xuan took the ball and thought silently in his heart, and chose singles.

The teammates all pulled away, and Zhou Xuan broke through from the left side. Kobe Bryant chose to be close to him before he started, so that he couldn't pass easily, and at the same time resisted him with his left leg, which disrupted Zhou Xuan's pace.

Zhou Xuan instantly realized something, he used to defend people, and always used his body to block the opponent, but Kobe Bryant's defense method is smarter, and the referee will not blow fouls.

Kobe Bryant didn't lower his position, and then his left leg took a step back, Zhou Xuan inertia went towards Kobe's thigh, and one step to the position where Kobe Bryant's left leg was standing just now. This is similar to the principle of defending against sudden retreat with a single body, the opponent's center of gravity is unstable and will fall backwards, which is a forward fall.

Bryant then took a step forward and reached for the ball. Zhou Xuan lost his center of gravity a little due to Kobe's retreat, dribbling higher than his knees, and the ball was poked off.

Kobe Bryant took the lead in grabbing the basketball, and through the half, Zhou Xuan quickly returned to defense, but Kobe Bryant relied on his physical advantage to force the basketball to score. 15 to 14.

Zhou Xuan went through the scene just now in his mind and analyzed the characteristics of Kobe's defense. Kobe Bryant can stick to the opponent like a plaster, and constantly adjust the pace, cooperate with the thigh to jam the opponent, prevent being passed by one step, and then harass with his hands, waiting for the opportunity to break the ball, and the speed is average.

This defensive style is very clever and suitable for Zhou Xuan, who always struggles with his body against strong players. On the court, Zhou Xuan often had an epiphany, and then slowly integrated into his own skills.

The ball was sent out, and Zhou Xuan dribbled past half the court. Kobe Bryant was also a little surprised to see that he was still expressionless. Good guy, this kid is not simple, he didn't care at all when he was cut off. Is he going to fight again this time?

The answer is yes, but Zhou Xuan didn't come by himself, beckoned Randolph to come out to block and dismantle, Gasol immediately changed his defense, his speed was not particularly fast, but it was difficult to pass with the NBA's first long arm. Zhou Xuan took the ball to the right and passed to Azubuke at 45 degrees.

The latter singled out Radmanovic and dribbled through the baseline under the crotch to pass the bottom line and made a layup. It was too easy to score, and Radmanovic's slow lateral defense was revealed. Last season, because he was completely blown out by Pierce, the Lakers lost the championship, and when he encountered Azubuike's speed, he defended even worse. 17 to 14.

After this goal, the Lakers took the lead in substitutions. Ariza came on and replaced Radmanovic. In the space of 5 minutes, the opponent scored like crazy, and Zen master Jackson was very dissatisfied with the defense.

In July 2006, the Los Angeles Lakers signed Radmanovic to a five-year, $31.7 million contract.

But during his time with the Lakers, Radmanovich's deepest impression on fans was not his heroic shooting from the outside, but the joke of lying about his injury. In 2007, he dislocated his right shoulder during the All-Star Weekend and was diagnosed with a six-to-eight week break, which had a big impact on the Lakers, who were in the playoffs at the time and were short of major generals. The Serbian gave the team a bizarre reason for the injury, saying that he was on vacation in Salt Lake City, Utah, and that he accidentally stepped on the ice while shopping for coffee, and he accidentally slipped on the ice and dislocated his shoulder. But four days later, Radmanovic was reprimanded and admitted that he had lied and that the injury was actually caused by a fall while skiing in Parker, Utah. In NBA player contracts, highly hazardous activities such as skiing are strictly prohibited. Since then, he has earned the nickname "Skiing Man". The Lakers are now preparing to send the skier man to Ariza for the position.

The Lakers are still Kobe Bryant's main offense.

Zhou Xuan was on the outside single defense, Kobe Bryant was about to turn around after receiving the ball, Zhou Xuan posted up, tensed his muscles, his center of gravity did not drop very low, and used his thighs to block Kobe's breakthrough, and then took a small step back, which was the same as Kobe's defense just now.

Bryant was even more surprised, how could he not recognize the defensive style he was good at? Xin said: "This kid shouldn't be learning and selling now, right?" ”

When he first entered the league, Kobe Bryant was more of a gambling steal, and it took three years for him to talk to Eddie? Jones and Fox learned these defensive lessons and gradually applied them to the game. If it is learned, Zhou Xuan's comprehension is simply inhuman.

Kobe Bryant had a strong control over his body, and immediately half-turned to protect the basketball, and was not taken out by Zhou Xuan waiting for the opportunity, but his breakthrough rhythm was also messed up and passed to Fisher. Fisher and Gasol combined to block and break through with the ball, attracting Biderlins to defend and return to the middle.

Gasol shook a little, Morrow raised his hand to interfere and was shaken, Gasol broke through with the ball and scored on the basketball, Randolph and Biedrins did not make up the defense. 17 to 16.

After Ariza came on, Azubuk also had no advantage.

Zhou Xuan and Randolph blocked and passed to the middle, Randolph chose to single Kobe Bryant, shot wide under interference, and the rebound was obtained by Gasol, who returned to the inside.

The Lakers attacked, Bynum covered and blocked Zhou Xuan, Kobe Bryant broke through from the right side, accelerated and rushed two steps in the face of Biedrins' change of defense, poked out his right shoulder, pulled the ball with his right hand and retreated backwards to shake out the space, and threw the ball backwards. 17 to 18.

The Lakers overtook the score. Their defense tightened, Randolph struggled to get to the basket, Morrow missed from the perimeter, and the Warriors' shooting percentage began to decline.

Zhou Xuan can only prevent breakthroughs, if Kobe Bryant attacks in other ways, he doesn't have many options, and he doesn't have time to chase Kobe Bryant to shoot, and it is also a huge challenge for Bidrins after blocking and dismantling.

Kobe Bryant's misplaced offense is hard to limit, you don't know which way he's going to turn, when he's going to accelerate or make a stop, the defender is right in front of him, and he can shoot difficult balls. Fast breakthrough, emergency stop and retreat, the use of skills is very appropriate, the offense has reached his realm, speed is no longer the most important, the game is all about rhythm, sometimes it is obviously very slow, but the opponent just can't prevent it.

"You can't stop me! Rookie! Kobe Bryant hit another mid-range shot, and said to Zhou Xuan when he returned to defense.

"Then why do you still rely on blocking and dismantling?" Zhou Xuan responded loudly.

Kobe snorted and didn't reply.

Zhou Xuan knew that once the ball was running, the Lakers scored at all points, especially when the interior line was opened, and the Warriors were finished, because they had too many defensive weaknesses. Before the game, he made a detailed analysis and formulated a comprehensive plan for Kobe Bryant. Not now.

According to Synergy Sports Technologies, in every NBA game, Kobe Bryant is 49. Dribbling the ball to the left side 1% of the time, 50. 99% to the right side of the scab, very balanced. These are among the most efficient in the league: shooting after steals, shooting after screens, shooting after acceleration, and one-on-one on the rim. Kobe Bryant is perhaps the greatest jumper of this era.

However, Zhou Xuan still found some weaknesses in Kobe, such as the turnaround and backward jumper after being close to the opponent. He perfectly imitated Jordan's posture, but he was not very efficient, and was nicknamed "four backs and three irons" by some fans. In addition, Kobe Bryant, as a player who often shoots three-pointers, has an inconsistent shooting percentage, with a career of only 33. 4%。 Zhou Xuan's plan is to have an effect as long as he forces Kobe Bryant away from the basket, preferably on the left side, because his efficiency is lower there, and his three-point shooting is especially low.

Zhou Xuan may be difficult to guard against like Jackson, but the method is correct, but unfortunately now Kobe Bryant is starting to use cover to bypass him.

After 10 minutes of playing in the first quarter, the Warriors fell behind 26-33, and Kobe Bryant began to compete with Zhou Xuan again, preparing to play alone without covering.

Zhou Xuan pressed closely, deliberately showing a little flaw to the left in the middle lane. Defensively, he will feint, not move his feet, shake his shoulders in the opposite direction, and lure the opponent to dribble the ball where he wants. He has also said this method to outside players such as Morrow and Watson, hoping to help them upgrade their defense. But except for Zhou Xuan, no one else could do this, and the brain's control over the body could not reach the level of his.

Very few people can control the conditioned reflexes, which require a very well-developed cerebellum that is innate. This is like the old naughty boy's "left and right fighting technique" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Guo Jing can practice, but Huang Rong is smart but can't learn. Although it is only a novel, the truth is similar.

Kobe Bryant saw that Zhou Xuan's center of gravity seemed to move to the right, and immediately rushed to the left, right in Zhou Xuan's arms. Zhou Xuan did not stand still at his feet, blocking Kobe's breakthrough route. Kobe Bryant protected the ball with his back, Zhou Xuan kept a distance to follow, to the left 45 degrees Kobe turned around and jumped, Zhou Xuan interfered with the hand with all his strength only to Kobe's chin, but the key to defense was the other hand, when Kobe turned around, he quietly poked Kobe's waist.

This is learned by watching the video, and Stockton has a lot of small movements.

Zhang Li shouted: "Ouch, Kobe Bryant is really powerful, his body is on one side." Look at his ability to stay in the air......"

When, the sound of shooting iron came.

Zhang Li sighed: "Oops, I didn't enter." The goal was a little bigger, and although it didn't go in, the opportunity was already out. Zhou Xuan's defense of this ball is also good, he really dares to defend it. ”
