Chapter 417 [Shouting MVP!] 】
As the game progressed, Chinese fans launched a scolding battle online around Zhou Xuan and Kobe Bryant.
A fan of Kobe Bryant said: "Zhou Xuan's scoring ability is not strong, not as good as Kobe, just relying on the data brush of his teammates."
Zhou Xuan's fans were not happy. "Your boss has been prevented from being a dog this time, why are you still blowing?"
If you don't blow it or black it, the Lakers are all backward.
Before the game, a group of people predicted that the Lakers **** Warriors were, but the Warriors were still ahead of two important players from last season. Comparing the data of the core players, the Lakers have the advantage on the inside, and the outside line led by Kobe and Fisher was blown up by Zhou Xuan and Ellis.
"Zen Master" Jackson believes the Warriors will definitely continue to defend the perimeter.
Their intentions are too obvious, to prevent three-point shots, to score only two points inside, relying on fast break and Zhou Xuan's organization, they are not afraid of the Lakers. Once the contraction is too strong, the Lakers may shoot from the outside, and there is a possibility of variables.
The main target is still Kobe, and the Warriors bet that Kobe Bryant will not always give the inside lob. Shoot less than 15 balls in a game, or even less than 10 balls, keep passing to teammates, and defend hard. This is what Jackson wants Kobe to do, but then it will not be Kobe, but Zhou Xuan. It's Kobe Bryant who makes mistakes.
When arranging the tactics, Jackson said: "Bryant, hang the ball to Paul (Gasol) and let him attack in the low post, Lamar (Odom) blocks in the middle, Jordan (Famar) cuts to the weak side. Ron (Artest) waited for an opportunity in the bottom corner and didn't let it be soft when he could. ”
Hanging the ball to the inside again, Jackson often arranges as such. In Kobe Bryant's fantasy, it should be to give him a double block, help him create a chance to catch the ball, shoot continuously on the outside, hit a three-point rebound, and then shoot a key shot after the most. It's the way he likes it, just like Maddy's performance against the Spurs, God was moved to tears.
However, Kobe Bryant also knew that God would not cry every time, and occasionally yawn, and then the game ended without suspense. Kobe Bryant has experienced a stunner, and he has also experienced the end of consecutive iron games. If you look at the record sheet in detail, you will find that for the Lakers, it is still the latter.
Zhou Xuan, are you really a human being? How did you train and why did you improve so fast? Is the alliance of the future yours? When Kobe Bryant walked onto the court, he sighed silently in his heart.
Kobe Bryant is a very proud person, so he has never had friends, he doesn't care, but living alone in the world, if there is no opponent, it is really lonely. Although he thinks that Zhou Xuan is an unscrupulous bastard for victory, and is insidious and cunning, like a poisonous snake more poisonous than the black mamba, he now admires Zhou Xuan a little.
This is not a contradiction. Because Kobe Bryant knows that Zhou Xuan is a hard-working person, even harder than himself. Even he would choose to play most of the summer after winning the championship instead of training and playing street ball.
Seeing Zhou Xuan's progress, Kobe could imagine a figure sweating like rain on the training ground, and thought of himself who was desperate for progress when he was young. And he knows that Zhou Xuan has something stronger than himself, excellent passing vision and emotional intelligence.
Kobe Bryant has always wanted to have a good relationship with his teammates and be loved while maintaining his lofty posture, which is contradictory, so he can't do it. But Zhou Xuan did it, and it only took one season, and he saw the balance he wanted. Zhou Xuan shouted at his teammates on the field and asked them to change their playing style, and one of these people was older than Zhou Xuan, but they listened to him very much and did not have any dissatisfaction. At the press conference, everyone was saying good things about Zhou Xuan.
What an amazing Chinese, people love and hate. If he was my teammate, not a narcissist like O'Neal, it would have been very pleasant. Kobe Bryant thought to himself.
If anyone knows Kobe's current mentality, they will definitely feel very strange. Paranoia is not a fool, it's just that there are things he can think of that he can't do. Some people are born to rely on themselves, and the best sport for Kobe Bryant may be tennis.
The game restarted, and Bryant hoisted the ball inside on the right side to Gasol, who was the most trusted man on the team and the defender was Turiaf. Randolph follows Odom on the left.
Kobe Bryant found out that Zhou Xuan went to guard the middle lane, why didn't he follow me? Did you guess that I was going to the side to pass the ball, how was that possible? And Zhou Xuan is in the middle, which also corresponds to the Lakers' plan to cut the air in the middle. In fact, Zhou Xuan was just running out of energy, and he needed to conserve his physical strength to the offensive end. His defense has developed a deterrent that even Kobe Bryant can feel, let alone anyone else.
Kobe Bryant didn't stand still either, beckoned to Farmar and covered Farmar to block Zhou Xuan, the two switched positions, ran to the middle and covered with Odom without the ball.
This cover got rid of Zhou Xuan, Gasol just turned to the middle and gave the ball to Kobe Bryant from close range, and Kobe Bryant faced Randolph and turned to the left to pull the rod to score the basketball. 111 to 104.
He began to find cover and no longer took the ball to attack, such Kobe Bryant was the most difficult to defend. Zhou Xuan sighed secretly, he still had to find a way to let him go it alone.
Ellis dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and this change disrupted the Lakers' defensive plan, and Jackson wanted Farmar to force Zhou Xuan and consume his physical strength. Now Zhou Xuan slowly passed the half, and Ellis controlled the ball. Brought to the frontcourt, Bryant didn't defend without the ball either.
Zhou Xuan asked, "Are you tired?" If you are so loose, are you interested in going heads-up? ”
Kobe Bryant didn't answer, and dealt with Zhou Xuan, as soon as he replied, he might run out of position and suffocate people half to death. This trick is both annoying and practical, Kobe Bryant felt that when he first entered the league, he was too pure compared to Zhou Xuan, a "scum" who loves to play tricks.
Ellis has also changed, if he was before, eighty percent would have chosen to find cover to break through and fight by himself. But now he has learned a lot from Zhou Xuan, he is more selfless than in the past, and he will not question the coach's arrangement.
Ellis gave the ball to Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan dribbled back under his crotch and opened the distance between Kobe Bryant, slowly dribbling the ball, he had to use up 24 seconds to control the rhythm. Kobe Bryant was anxious to fall behind, but he couldn't grab it.
Soon there were six seconds left, Zhou Xuan finally moved, and "herewego" continued to dribble under his crotch and took small steps forward.
Zhang Li said with a smile: "It's this kind of dribbling again, Zhou Xuan will come to an impromptu performance when he is happy." He's scored a lot this season, and now he's facing Kobe. ”
Kobe Bryant didn't step forward, lowered his center of gravity, and focused on it, all he had to do was to prevent Zhou Xuan from breaking through. The rest of the Warriors all pulled away, Azubuke and Ellis were on the periphery, and the two inside lines were under the basket, which was to let Zhou Xuan play alone.
Zhou Xuan took a step sideways to the left, holding the ball in his right hand and bringing his left hand closer. Kobe didn't step forward, the judgment was correct, Zhou Xuan dribbled back to the middle with a large crotch, Kobe didn't shake up, and followed up in the middle.
And the next thing is Zhou Xuan's real killer move, Kobe Bryant's step is too big, Zhou Xuan sent it lightly with one hand, and the ball passed through Kobe's crotch. And he didn't stand still on the pivot foot, and the left side passed past Kobe Bryant.
In 2 seconds, Zhou Xuan took the ball and stopped and bent his knees, and raised the basketball with both hands. Bryant turned and jumped up with all his might, ready to block and shoot. Zhou Xuan didn't jump, just a feint.
In 1 second, Zhou Xuan jumped up against Kobe, the two collided in the air, the referee's whistle sounded, Zhou Xuan pushed the ball out of the box with his left hand, and the ball fell into the basket after hitting the board. 24 seconds is just right.
Van Gundy shouted: "Zhou Xuan is the last second to score 2+1!" It's incredible, how far has he calculated? Obviously, there is not much time left, and he made a fake move, and Kobe Bryant was completely deceived. ”
Johnson said: "Kobe Bryant definitely couldn't have imagined that he could still do feints, calm and terrible. He just played like a veteran who has been mixed for more than ten seasons. ”
Zhou Xuan stood on the free throw line, and many spectators outside the court chanted "MVP!" ”
Yu Jia said: "Zhou Xuan has also begun to enjoy the MVP call, he didn't score much today, but this ball is very crucial, withstanding the Lakers' momentum of chasing points." ”
Zhang Li smiled: "That's right, he has already won two MVPs last season." ”
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, calmed his mind, felt soft, and punished hollow into the net. Hearing the MVP call made him believe in his extraordinary mission even more. 114 to 104.
The Lakers attacked, the Warriors continued to defend the perimeter, and Kobe Bryant lost face by the crotch on the last ball, and his eyes were on fire. If the ball doesn't return the favor, the news will definitely not say good things about him.
He arrived in the front court desperately to ask for the ball, and what made him even more depressed was that Zhou Xuan was unaware of him, followed Famar to the side, and watched Kobe Bryant against Ellis with a calm expression.
This kid is still very annoying. Kobe Bryant would never say that he couldn't do it, even if he really couldn't stand it, he would die, but Zhou Xuan was not physically strong enough to rest on the side, which became the best provocation.
Kobe Bryant held the ball alone, Ellis had a relatively easy defensive task today, and he was still very physically strong, entangled Kobe Bryant's peripheral jumper miss. Turyaf grabbed the backcourt rebound, Zhou Xuan retreated to catch the ball, and began to drag time again.
Johnson said: "I can feel this dull rhythm here, Zhou Xuan can play fast or slow, he grinds time so much, the opponent must be in a hurry." ”
Van Gundy smiled: "I think as long as this ball is Kobe defense, he will also play alone." ”
Artest, Margeti, and the inside line did not come out to cover, and Ellis moved on the left side, and they all pulled away.
Most people thought that Zhou Xuan would go head-to-head, but his choice changed again, at first he dribbled in the middle with his crotch and broke through the right side. Five seconds later, Ellis and Randolph on the left side covered without the ball and cut into the middle.
On the right side, Zhou Xuan immediately crossed the ball to the middle, Gasol couldn't follow, Ellis accelerated three steps, dodged Odom's block and threw the ball in. 116 to 104.
There are less than two minutes left, and this shot is basically a death sentence for the Lakers, they can only gamble and shoot three points, and the success rate of playing again is what the Warriors like.
Artest and Kobe missed two consecutive shots, and although they prevented the Warriors from attacking, they didn't have time to chase points.
