Chapter 228: The Strongest Opponent
The scene in the visiting locker room before the game left the Knicks unreservedly backing their Chinese teammates. As long as that guy still has www.biquge.info the strength to shoot, the ball is guaranteed not to stay in someone else's hands for too long.
And on the Lakers' side, except for the Zen master Phil who was sitting on the sidelines. Except for Jackson's poor face, none of the other home team players on the field dared to touch the team's boss.
With the support of both teams, the first quarter of the game between the Lakers and the Knicks has completely become a heads-up game between Kobe Bryant and Sun Yi.
19 to 17!
When the main lineups of the two teams left the break, the Lakers, who were playing at home, temporarily took the lead by two points. The fans at the scene gave a very rare collective standing ovation, and such a wonderful individual duel has not been staged in the Staples Center arena for a long time.
'It was a rare game where two players had almost all the points scored by their respective teams. Ernnie. Johnson picked up the data sheet in his hand and introduced: "Kobe Bryant shot 6 of 9, made two free throws from a three-point pointer, and scored 15 points. Sun Yi shot 5 of 10 and added two three-pointers at a time, scoring 13 points. ”
"I didn't expect that the high school students we saw at the United Center in Chicago a few years ago had grown into a role where they could compete with the best scoring guard since Michael."
Kenny. Smith looked incredulous, because he had already seen that the number one star of the Lakers was definitely going all out in the game just now without the slightest intention of retaining his strength. But just like that, it still allowed the little guy to score 13 points.
"Haha, I just got an inside message. Bryant went to the Knicks' locker room before the game......"
Barkley, who doesn't know where to get the inside story, is indeed worthy of the 'big mouth' nickname given to him by the fans, and he has no scruples to restore the scene of the game before the game to all the spectators in front of the camera lens.
This news makes the already gimmicky game even more interesting.
……
Phil. Jackson looked at the expressionless player sitting on the bench, if it weren't for the fact that the shooting percentage was not bad, the Lakers coach really wanted to walk over and ask the other party what was going on, so that Kobe Bryant was so obsessed with the opponent's No. 8 player in this game.
On the other side, on the away bench. Every Knicks player who doesn't play will take the initiative to send a smile of encouragement to his Chinese teammates who are on par with the superstar Black Mamba.
Right! So****!
……
Harvard's main point guard Jeremy. Lin, after watching the first quarter of the game, couldn't wait to immediately hold the basketball and vent on the court. Because, the showdown between Kobe Bryant and Sun Yi is too exciting.
Come on! Yao and Sun have proven the athletic talent of the yellow race, Lin, you can definitely too!
Jeremy, who is already a senior. Lin, there is a name named Jeremy Lin. His childhood dream was different from that of most Asian children around him, always liking to hold a basketball and shoot non-stop Oriental teenagers, and preferring the feeling of galloping on the court.
If there are no surprises, he will be on the roster for next summer's NBA Draft.
……
The competition between the Lakers and the Knicks in the rotation lineup continues the efficiency of the stars of the two teams.
30 to 27!
When the main line-ups of both sides came back on, the home team still maintained a narrow lead.
When Sun Yi faced Kobe's defense again, he could clearly feel that the black mamba that had undergone a short adjustment off the court was even more deadly. The Chinese guy, who was defused by his opponent with a tough defense after several consecutive breakthrough attempts, could only make a hasty shot before the end of the round time.
Boom!
This is already the No. 8 player of the Knicks, who hit the iron for the third consecutive time in the second quarter. The opponent maintained a good feeling in the first quarter, and Bryant had hit two shots in the previous four attacks.
"Boy, good luck runs out. Now, start praying. ”
The language offense of the Lakers' star is not inferior to his performance on the court.
The Chinese guy with his fists clenched really wanted to tear the other party's rotten mouth apart.
Calm down! Calm down! Dude, what you need most now is calm. Don't fall for that guy, he just wants to provoke you and make you lose your mind.
Maintaining a good frame of mind at all times during the game is a valuable lesson that the Duke Blue Devils have given him. If he is defeated by simple words, then he is not the Chinese sun that shines in American basketball.
The Chinese Knicks, who has a poor hand, will devote more of his energy to defending his childhood idol in the next game.
Sun Yi, who has already broken through the realm of defensive masters, can predict Kobe's offensive intentions almost every time. But every time you want to directly cover or break the ball in the opponent's hand, it always seems to be a little bit worse.
In the world of competitive sports, no amount of talent can compete with hard work. Peter Pan's countless early morning efforts have been exchanged for a brilliant ball game. Specifically, he has touched the pinnacle of basketball - do whatever you want! In the face of any potential and impending danger, the Lakers' No. 24 player can sense in advance and react quickly.
Even so, the stubborn defense of the Chinese guy still had a certain effect.
In the second quarter, when the two faced off for 8 minutes, Bryant's shooting percentage gradually decreased. He scored 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, plus two free throws. With 27 points at halftime, he was close to the challenge of scoring 40 points before the game.
And Sun Yi's shooting in this quarter was not good, and he wanted to enter the interior but was stopped by the experienced Peter Pan many times. The Chinese guy, who scored 7 points on 3-of-8 shooting, was at a clear disadvantage in the second quarter.
……
45 to 52!
The New York Knicks went into halftime with a seven-point gap.
In Kenny. Smith and Barkley are young Chinese youngsters, and when will they be beaten by the league's number one shooting guard.
Sun Yi, as the party concerned, sat in the away team's locker room and accepted the congratulations of his teammates. In the eyes of this group of Knicks boys, there are definitely no more than five people who can play 19-27 with Kobe Bryant in the league. You know, the black mamba in today's game is in the most lethal state. No one was still thinking about their opponent's 40-point record before the game, and they thought their Chinese teammates had done a perfect job.
But the unwilling expression on the face of the Knicks' No. 8 junior proves that he is not satisfied with his performance. Kobe Bryant is destined to be a great player. But you shouldn't be willing to be mediocre.
……
Today's showman Kim. Kardashian, perhaps because it was the first time she was so engaged in watching the game, took advantage of the halftime break when she had just finished her hands and was touching up her makeup in the bathroom mirror.
Looking at this stunning stunner in the mirror, the second daughter of the Kardashian family is very grateful for God's gift to her. With a seductive face and a devilish figure that makes people bleed wildly, she is sure that she will capture the prey she fancies.
The socialite, who was planning how to get the Chinese guy's attention next, was suddenly poured on the head of a cup of hot coffee that was not too hot.
Yes......! Who is it......! Someone's coming......!
A woman wearing a beach hat and a mask carefully closes the bathroom door. When she came to a corner where no one was looking, she revealed her trademark red hair and peerless face.
Hum! See if I can cure you little prodigal hoof!
No need to ask, this one is just for gold. The stunning woman who Kardashian provided a coffee bath for free was none other than Knicks reporter Helen. The cup of coffee that fell from the sky, although it would not ruin the other party's smug face, but the carefully selected evening dress would definitely not be able to wear it out and be embarrassed.
……
"Kobe, what's going on with you today? Is a tiny Knicks worth your personal assault so persistently? ”
Before the start of the second half, Zen master Phil. Jackson finally couldn't help but ask before the team's number one star immediately entered the court.
As for the manager's doubts, Peter Pan, who has been working together for many years, knows that the other party is on the verge of anger.
"Boss, I promise to get it done soon."
In Kobe's eyes, his opponent in this game is one step away from collapse, as long as he tries a little harder to blow up that Chinese player, he will definitely bring the ESPN report to the post-game press conference after the game. Slap in the face, this feeling is not too cool.
……
In the third quarter of the game, Sun Yi's shooting touch was still not too good. However, after the first two quarters of the head-to-head confrontation with the Lakers' number one star, the young Chinese guy has gradually found a way to curb the opponent's offensive efficiency.
Pester! Constant hand-to-hand combat.
Although his strength is not as good as his opponent's, the Chinese youngster's speed advantage allows him not to be easily shaken off by the Black Mamba at any moment. As long as you can make the other party uncomfortable, you can achieve your goal.
After the game restarted, the Knicks No. 8 was inseparable from Peter Pan like a mad dog. As soon as the opponent got the ball, he immediately turned into a plaster and stuck firmly to Kobe.
"Hey! Little one, I'm not in the habit of carrying bones with me. ”
Judging from the opponent's reaction, the Chinese guy's shadowy defensive strategy made the Lakers' number one star start to get anxious.
He scored six points on 3-of-10 shooting, which is the data that the Black Mamba, who scored 27 points in the first two quarters, handed in in the third quarter.
Of course, the Chinese youngster, who scored only 4 points on 2-of-6 shooting, was not much better. But the gap between the two did not widen again. And the collapse of the opponent that Kobe Bryant expected has not yet come.
Although, relying on the strength of the team, the Lakers firmly control the situation on the court. But this result is not what Peter Pan wants.
The No. 24 player of the Lakers, who was sitting on the bench to rest, glanced at the Chinese guy who was gasping for breath on the stool. Boy, it looks like you're a lot more tenacious than I expected.
Sun Yi, who tried his best to defend the opponent, had a very serious physical exertion. However, the foundation laid over the years will allow him to regain his strength after a short break.
……
"Charles, did you watch the last issue of &a Hope Housewife?"
The extremely low offensive efficiency of the two teams in the third quarter made Kenny . Smith was bored and chatted about popular American dramas.
"Excuse me! I'm more interested in why the sisters left suddenly. ”
The Kardashian sisters' seats were empty for the entire third quarter. This made Barkley, who was full of gossip interest, feel very puzzled and puzzled.
The pair of sexy stunners who are cared for by 'Sir Charles' are looking for a car in the underground parking lot at this time. My sister, who is soaked in coffee, keeps cursing the guy who spoils her good deeds. Kim, who wanted to change his clothes and continue to return to the stadium to watch the game. Kardashian, saddened to find that she didn't have spare clothes in her car.
It seems that her seduction plan had to be temporarily suspended.
……
Although Sun Yi's entire career is less than two years, he has already played against countless super players from high school to college to the NBA. But today, in the face of a 100% committed childhood idol, the Chinese guy is surrounded by a full sense of powerlessness for the first time in his life. In the confrontation with Kobe, the Knicks have used their whole body skills, but they still can't prevent the opponent from scoring. And the fighting spirit of the other party has not been exhausted by his own stubbornness, but gives people a feeling of becoming more and more courageous.
It's incredible! It takes a lot of willpower and mental strength to do this.
In fact, the difference between the two in body and technique is not obvious. The real reason why Sun Yi fell in the whole game was that Kobe Bryant's never-say-die spirit and domineering spirit were missing. And these are the results of years of continuous dedication and honing, and they cannot be done if you want to learn.
……
At the start of the final quarter, the Lakers, playing at home, led by seven points at 82-75.
The top stars of both teams are under the constraints of each other, and the offensive success rate is well below the season average. But four-time championship winner Kobe Bryant. Bryant, relying on his rich experience and strong mental strength, has never given the young Chinese guy a chance to turn over.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Black Mamba was just one goal away from scoring 40 points. Facing the No. 8 player of the Knicks who attacked with the ball, he pretended to be shaken, and when the opponent took advantage of the situation to kill the penalty area, Kobe Bryant copied the ball behind a beautiful back and successfully completed the first steal of the game.
Peter Pan, who got the ball, did not pause and took the ball directly to the opponent's empty half. It looks like the Lakers' number one star will be going to make a good defensive comeback to fulfill his pre-game promise in the visiting locker room.
Sun Yi, who was robbed by the opponent, did not look up to the sky and sigh like most players. The proud heart in the chest will never allow the other party to defeat itself in such a way.
I saw a lightning-like figure appear on the field of the Staples Center arena. As the home fans were about to cheer and celebrate Kobe Bryant's handy goal, a burst of exclamations suddenly appeared over the audience without warning.
