Chapter 251: The Battle of the Brothers
At six o'clock in the evening, the Lakers vs. Thunder game is about to begin, and the players on both sides have completed their preparations and are waiting for the jump ball to begin. "Luo, I have a hunch that this is going to be a good match, I've been waiting for this fight for a long time, and the two of us brothers can finally stand on the same court again." "Yes, I've been looking forward to it for a long time, I've been waiting for this day for more than two years, and although we are opponents now, it doesn't hinder it, does it?" After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began Tyson. Chandler earned the Lakers their first offensive opportunity. Originally, after Luo Han got the ball, he habitually passed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe Bryant attacked the first round, but he didn't expect Kobe to pass the ball back. "Luo, you don't have to pass the first ball to me this time, today is your match with Russell, let it go." "Yes, come on, let me see how much worse I am than you."
Hearing Kobe Bryant and Westbrook's words, Luo Han smiled slightly and began to dribble, looking for opportunities to attack. Looking at Luo Han who was dribbling the ball at the top of the circle, Westbrook stared at Luo Han with his eyes tight, not daring to relax in the slightest, because he knew that as long as he was a little unfocused, Luo Han could break through his defense.
I have to say that the serious Westbrook defense is really good, Luo Han tried to change direction twice in a row, but did not let Westbrook lose his defensive position. As the clock ticked by, Luo Han had to make a decision, either find a way to break through Westbrook's defensive offense or pass the ball.
Time didn't allow Luo Han to think about it anymore, because there were still 10 seconds left. Immediately, Luo Han made up his mind to attack by himself, dribbling under his crotch continuously, pretending to break through, but his eyes kept staring at Westbrook's footsteps in front of him, and saw Westbrook pay little attention, retract his foot that had crossed the three-point line, shoot three-point, and the ball went in, and the whole process was clean and neat. "Beautiful, Luo Han opened the scoring for the Lakers with a beautiful three-pointer." The commentator of a sports channel of a Chinese TV station said excitedly that every time the Lakers game in China is broadcast live, who let the Lakers now have an all-star level Chinese player, and the attention is no worse than Yao Ming at that time. "Beautiful, this three-point shot, Luo, you are still as accurate as when you were in college before." Luo Han was about to return to the defense, Westbrook said from Luo Han's side.
Luo Han just smiled slightly, and didn't speak, this was just the first goal of this game, there was nothing to be proud of.
Turn around. It was the Thunder's turn to attack, and Westbrook didn't attack with the ball on his own, because Westbrook is now much more mature and will not be provoked by others.
Westbrook handed the ball to Durant, but he started to run. It's Barnes who defends Durant, and when it comes to Barnes, he's an offensive, defensive player. So Durant didn't get any benefit from Barnes' injury, missed the shot, and the rebound was picked up by Aldridge and passed to Rohan.
Luo Han saw that the Thunder team's retreat was fast, so he simply slowed down and attacked the position. This time, instead of continuing to choose a three-point shot, Luo Han dribbled the ball and prepared to start backing Westbrook.
Westbrook's strength can be regarded as very outstanding among defenders, and many times, Westbrook uses his strength advantage to force opponents.
But this time facing Luo Han is different, Luo Han's strength is not bad at all compared to Westbrook, it can be said that it is a little stronger. So although Westbrook is already desperately resisting Luo Han, the position of the two is still approaching the basket.
At this time, Luo Han took advantage of Westbrook's desperate resistance to himself, and did not have the opportunity to pay attention to his own actions, and turned around with a feint to get rid of Westbrook's defense, and then the next thing was simple, leaning back, shooting, and scoring the ball, all of which developed towards the plot arranged by the script.
Westbrook touched his chest that was hurt by Luo Han, and shook his head helplessly: "Really, this guy really doesn't know how to practice, it doesn't look like the muscles are very exaggerated, but the strength is so great, it's really a monster." ”
Two shots in a row and two hits, which marked Luo Han's fiery hand today. But in the next few rounds, Luo Han did not continue to attack by himself, because Luo Han always remembered himself, the identity of organizing a defender, for an organizational defender, organizing the attack of the whole team is the first task.
By the time he was replaced in the first quarter, Luo Han had already made three shots and three shots, scoring 8 points and 3 assists. When he was on the playing field, Luo Han was extremely serious, even if the person in the opposite position was his good brother, Luo Han still showed 100% attention.
So under Luo Han's full defense, Westbrook's situation was a bit miserable, with zero shots in the second shot, and only relied on the serve to score 2 points and 2 assists. So at the end of the first quarter, Westbrook's sentiments were a little low. But he didn't have any jealousy or resentment towards Luo Han, because he knew when he was in college that Luo Han was better than himself in terms of basketball IQ or physical talent, and it was normal to be better than himself, and seeing that his good brother could have such an excellent appearance, Westbrook was also happy for Luo Han.
"Judging from the situation in the first section, Luo's expression is impeccable, there is nothing to be faulted with, and I have now been completely impressed by Luo Han, who deserves the nickname "artist". During the break, as the on-site commentator of the money Rockets head coach, Jeff. Van Gundy said.
"Jeff, as a defensive master, can you make a comment on Luo Han's defensive performance this quarter?"
"Oh, as a player who has only played two months in the NBA, Luo's defense can already be said to be very good, judging from the previous table, Luo is still a little lacking in team defense, but this is just a lack of experience, Luo's wisdom is getting better and better in the future, I have no doubt that Luo will become the first point guard in the NBA."
The game still had to go on, and in the next game, Luo Han continued his All-Star level play, scoring 27 points and 12 assists in the whole game, and the Lakers also won the game with an 11-point difference under the leadership of Luo Han.
Westbrook is also a strong player in his own right, and his form rebounded in the second half of the game, finishing with 17 points and 10 assists.
After the game, Westbrook spoke to reporters: "Do you have anything to say about your opponent Luo, who played well today? ”
"Oh, it's a bad feeling to lose, but Luo played perfectly today, and I can't say anything about that. But I am mentally prepared for Luo to have such a table, Luo's table has always been better than me during college, but I didn't expect that in the NBA, his table is still so good. ”
"So Luo's current appearance is so good, and it is even likely to squeeze out your All-Star starting position, do you feel a little envious?"
"Of course there will be envy, and starting in the All-Star Game is an honor that every NBA player wants, and I'm no exception. But Luo is a good brother for me and I'm really happy for him to be in the starting line-up, and he deserves it. It doesn't affect the friendship between us, although we are rivals on the field, but we are still brothers off the field, this will not change, and now Luo is what I strive for, the same as before. ”
