42. Philadelphia genius Kobe Bryant (ask for referral votes)
Kobe Bryant and Marbury want to show their abilities, but their abilities are not enough to break everything, and they don't have a scoring method that far surpasses others like Zhang Hao.
Team A had substitutions all the time, but no matter how they tried, it didn't work well, so they had to call this 200-second mid-game timeout.
The B team has been playing well, so there have been no substitutions, and now it is finally starting to adjust, with the combination of Billups, Rodney Buford, Raheem, Garnett, Calvin Booth coming on.
After Team A returned from a timeout, Bryant and Marbury were temporarily replaced, although the two were the main players.
Odom and Tim Booth partnered the guard line, Hamilton and Quincy Lewis were two guard pitchers together, and O'Neal Jr. was deployed at center.
Zhang Hao sat down to rest for 200 seconds, and the game continued to start, he still felt very excited, and the game was so cool!
He used to shoot well in the game, but only among high school students, and now his mid-range shot is almost invincible!
As long as he has a chance to catch the ball, the opponent's defense doesn't play much of a role, because it's beyond the imagination of these also high school players, who have never encountered a super mid-range shooter like him in a game.
Zhang Hao imagined that if he encountered such a situation, it would probably be similar, because the defense that he had in his impression of the best pitcher on the other side was basically useless when defending against him!
Trying to calm his excitement, Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw the two defender combinations of Odom and Tim Booth opposite, with a height gap of 30 cm.
This picture is really weird to look at, because it is Odom who is advancing with the ball......
Odom's hand control of the ball made the fans exclaim again and again.
After halftime, Odom passed the ball to Tim Booth, who was less than 180 centimeters tall for the speedy point guard.
Originally, Zhang Hao thought that Marbury and Kobe Bryant would go down, and their B team would have a greater advantage, but the A team took the initiative in the last few minutes of the first half!
Tim Booth continues to burst the inside line, play sudden points, cooperation is not the strength of the A team, forcing temporary learning, will only be counterproductive, the previous Kobe and Marbury are like this, Tim Booth talent is not so good, maybe there is no possibility of entering a professional team, not like his cousin has a giant-like body, but the brain is smart, and the strength in high school is not much worse than others on the court, he learned about the way Garnett tandem defense in this game through observation, and then targeted offensive organization.
This was supposed to be what Marbury and Kobe Bryant were supposed to do, but they were too anxious and didn't calmly take advantage of the unfavorable start to analyze and panic, so they were pressed by Team B.
Tim Booth handled the ball, Odom assisted, two pitchers scored from the outside, O'Neal Jr. used his height to eat cake, and Team A performed quite well during this period.
Fortunately, although Tim Booth has a smart brain, there is indeed a gap in his ability compared with Kobe and Marbury, and Garnett and Raheem can barely cope.
After 20 minutes of the first half, Team B narrowly held the lead at 9 points, leading 44-35 into halftime.
At halftime, coach Seus told Zhang Hao that he might not play in the second half.
It's not that there is anything wrong with it, but Zhang Hao has shown his characteristics very well, he shot 5 of 7 in the first half, and there was a beautiful counterattack to catch and dunk, and a positional battle to cut into the layup, has shown his shooting ability and off-ball ability.
The performance of 14 points, 3 boards, 1 assist and 1 steal was excellent.
Their B team can occupy the initiative so quickly at the beginning, because of his absolute strength in the middle of the shot, can play real tactics, otherwise they can only rely on personal ability like the A team, can not play such a big opening advantage, high school students, personal ability is indeed very important, but when the personal ability of the players of the two teams is not particularly large, there is one side that can play with the team, and the team strength shown will be completely different.
Therefore, Zhang Hao's performance is good enough in the eyes of Seus, a retired NBA star, and he has to give others a chance to perform.
Zhang Hao did not object to this, because this was the truth, and he couldn't do more things if he wanted him to do more.
When he plays, there is only one thing that he needs to do, and he will only do that one thing - and that is to shoot!
Seus made this decision on the basis that their B team had a clear lead.
won, even if Zhang Hao doesn't play next, his performance at the beginning will be regarded as the key to Team B's victory today.
But in the second half, after the game began, Marbury and Kobe, who were back on the court, led the team to set off a counterattack frenzy!
Zhang Hao rested here, but Bibby and Garnett did not, and they brought Corey Benjamin, Rodney Buford, and Calvin Booth on the court.
Zhang Hao has shown his strengths very well, and showed his invincibility in high school, but Bibby and Garnett's abilities have not been fully displayed, and it is difficult to show them something else in such a game, so they still have to play.
There is also the fact that Zhang Hao's light is too dazzling, not so omnipotent, but Zhang Hao's most prominent point is indeed too prominent.
Without Zhang Hao's mid-range shot that surpassed the others, the overall offensive ability of Team B's side suddenly weakened, and when Kobe Bryant and Marbury on the opposite side returned to the court...... And after strengthening their beliefs, learning from Tim Booth to handle the ball calmly, taking advantage of their individual abilities, and finding experience from defeats, Team A really suppressed Team B at the beginning of the second half!
That's when Garnett's problems came to light, and when the team was doing well, he was able to use his excellent tandem ability on both ends of the floor to make the team better.
However, when the situation is not good, Garnett is unable to turn the situation around, or even bring the strength of the team to the bottom, which is his characteristic.
Kobe, who suffered humiliation in the first half, calmed down and attacked with all his might after the start of the second half, and played more than 9 minutes with Marbury's style of play to replace the sudden score, and Team A played a wave of 22-14, and this time it was Team B's turn to call a timeout to interrupt the game!
Seus looked at Kobe Bryant opposite, it was incredible!
With that move, he seemed to see the bastard named Michael Jordan who was a rookie ten years ago!
To describe it in the words of Zhang Hao next to him, one word - spirituality!
Zhang Hao looked at Kobe's performance, it was really terrible! Strength interprets what it means to be invincible in high school!
Although Kobe Bryant wanted to learn Bibe's style of play before, when Tim Booth showed the right way to deal with the game, Kobe Bryant quickly showed that he was stronger, because he was much stronger than Tim Booth, and the height of 193 cm alone was not something that Tim Booth could have.
In more than 7 minutes, Kobe Bryant scored 9 points and 2 assists, and his personal score increased to 16 points, surpassing Zhang Hao's previous game-high 14 points!
Zhang Hao really felt the spirituality in Kobe, if Garnett is limited by the ability of his teammates, limited by the fact that the degree of teamwork is not very high, and limited by ...... The comprehensive ability in many aspects can only be exerted by six or seven percent, so Kobe Bryant will definitely play 100% or even super level of his ability!
The so-called ability to raise the ceiling, Zhang Hao clearly felt it from Kobe!
Bibby found himself falling behind when facing Kobe, who was nearly two years younger than him!
Although he knew that the guy on the other side was powerful, he learned about it during training, but Team B didn't expect Bibby to fall behind completely.
It's too hard to accept.
For a while, Team B set its sights on Zhang Hao.
They have worked hard and tried their best, such as using Rahim's cut to attack, but they met the guy named O'Neal on the opposite side, although it was named Jermaine O'Neal, but without defending for three seconds, O'Neal Jr.'s ability to protect the frame in the penalty area was a beep! That 16-year-old is amazingly strong!
Kobe, Odom, and O'Neal Jr., three 16-year-old high school students, have left a deep impression in the minds of major colleges and universities and NBA scouts.
Among them, including Jerry West, the general manager of the Lakers who bought a pair of shoes and put on a hat, quietly came to the scene to watch the game.
After the Lakers were eliminated in the second round, Jerry West's work focused on future plans, and that's when the team's star Eddie Jones told him that the city he grew up in Philadelphia had a talent named Kobe Bryant who was as good as Anfernee Hardaway.
With curiosity, Jerry West came to the San Francisco City Auditorium and was amazed by Kobe.
The strength of the B team is the team, and in terms of individual offense, only Bibby and Rahim can compete with each other, but these two are not Kobe's opponents, and the ability they show is the level of Marbury and Jamison.
It's scary, Bibby is the No. 1 high school point guard in the United States!
Thinking that the last few years have seen the emergence of Shaq O'Neal, Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, Jason Kidd...... Waiting for geniuses to enter the NBA, Jerry West looked at the dozen or so players in this game, and many of them surprised him - "This is another golden age of talent blowouts?" ”
From 79 to 85, the NBA poured in a large number of talents during this time, so there was a vigorous development of the NBA in the past few years, and now, when the geniuses of that period are getting old, there are another batch of geniuses that make Jerry West feel amazing!
Jerry West believes that at least half of these 18 players on the court will enter the NBA in the future, and will definitely become stars or even superstars!
……
On the bench of Team B, Seus discussed the style of play with the players and decided to let Zhang Hao return to the game.
Zhang Hao is already their last straw.
In the past ten minutes, they have thought of a lot of ways, tried everything they could, and still had the idea of wanting to show the ability of other players, but they really couldn't win Kobe Bryant with their individual ability.
Now, all they can hope for is a team style of play that was overwhelmingly dominant in the first half.
Seus patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said, "Aix, it's up to you, you have to throw the ball in when you receive the ball!" We're going to rely on your containment to get the team back up and down. ”
Zhang Hao shook his head when he heard this: "It's not me, it's us." ”
"You don't mean that annoying sometimes." Garnett seized the opportunity to make a wave.
"That's what I should say." Zhang Hao still replied unceremoniously.
Walking onto the court with each other, Zhang Hao felt that the atmosphere of their temporary team was really harmonious.
58-57, Team B still maintains a one-point lead.
Looking at Kobe Bryant opposite, Zhang Hao deeply understood what superstar potential is.
It is easy to see that Kobe Bryant is different from other outsiders, just as Garnett's strength is a notch higher than others.
Bibby, Corey Benjamin, Zhang Hao, Raheem, Garnett, the starting lineup of Team B is back on the field!
Team A, the combination of Marbury, Hamilton, Kobe, Jamison, and Odom also appeared again!
Kobe Bryant looked at Zhang Hao on the opposite side, recalling the terrifying pressure encountered at the beginning, it was such a pure no-ball player, but he became the most wonderful player on the B team, in Kobe's opinion, Zhang Hao is like his English name, "X", unknown, unpredictable existence!
Kobe never thought that when a team has a pitcher like Zhang Hao, it will make a qualitative change in the performance of others!
Maybe when his teammates are poor, Zhang Hao's ability to lead the team is not as good as Tim Booth, but when his teammates are strong, Zhang Hao's role is terrible.
However, Rao is so, looking at the strongest lineup on the opposite side, Kobe Bryant is full of fighting spirit!
That's what he wants, what he wants, it's all about beating all his opponents!
