Chapter 136: Protect This Smile!
Of course, suppression is suppression, although Xu Xuan suffered a lot on the defensive end, but before the break in the third quarter, Xu Xuan also staged a performance that was enough to be selected as the top five goals.
At that time, Xu Xuan took the ball on the weak side, and Kobe Bryant defended it as soon as possible, at this time, Xu Xuan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and threw the ball to the back of his head with both hands.
"Wonderful assist! It seems that Xu Xuan and Roy have a tacit understanding! ”
There is no doubt that although Xu Xuan played the No. 2 position today, he did not lag behind in passing assists.
George Hill, the main point guard of the Pacers, glanced at Xu Xuan in surprise, since Xu Xuan came to the Pacers, most of what he showed was his offensive ability, such as breakthroughs, such as three-point shots, and assists were inconspicuous.
People subconsciously ignore his talent in passing assists.
"Don't underestimate it!"
George Hill sighed secretly, he didn't worry about his status being affected, he was the main core of the team with an annual salary of nearly 10 million, Xu Xuan just couldn't put his position down no matter how good he was?
He was just sighing, his mind remembering the shadow of another young man......
If...... Alas......
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 58-79, and the Lakers finally recovered a little score.
Kobe, who got serious, scored 14 points in the third quarter alone!
Of course, the shooting rate was 5 out of 13, which was still less than 40%.
After three quarters, he still trailed by 21 points, and it seemed that the game had come to an end, and it was difficult for even Kobe Bryant to do anything about this point difference.
"If Scott knew a little better, he would need to replace Kobe Bryant to rest now, and there would be no need to struggle desperately for a game that was destined to lose."
"Hmm... Looks like it won't... Kobe doesn't seem to have the intention of resting! ”
Rest?
Are you kidding!?
The subject teacher hasn't finished the class yet, how can I rest?
Kobe's eyes were very sharp, like a knife cutting at Xu Xuan's body.
Don't even think about leaving, the subject teacher is going to class!
Seeing Kobe Bryant's eyes, Xu Xuan smiled bitterly, this old snake seemed to be entangled with him, and he still couldn't shake it off.
Feed!
Who's going to help me get rid of him, I'm afraid!
Byron Scott had a headache, his opinion was more consistent with the commentary, trailing by 33 points at halftime and 21 points in the third quarter, and the Lakers' hopes of a comeback were close to zero.
At this time, there is really no need to continue to keep Kobe Bryant on the court, and Kobe Bryant has not been long after returning from injury, and if he is "fatigue driving", he is likely to be "revoked his driver's license for the second time".
But no one listens to his words, and Kobe Bryant won't listen to him.
When the temper came up, even Phil Jackson was not bird, but he was still birded?
Scold!
Don't disturb the subject teacher!
As soon as the fourth quarter came up, the Pacers came up with the starting lineup of Xu Xuan, George Hill, Copeland, West, and Hibbert.
The Lakers have a starting lineup of Jeremy Lin, Kobe, Wesley Johnson, Ed Davis, and Carlos Boozer.
The Pacers' side is the main force, but the Lakers, who want to chase points, have two substitutes.
"It's clear that the Pacers want a wave to finish the game!"
Otherwise, why would you be on the main force?
The Lakers' lineup is more subtle.
Since Jeremy Lin came to the Lakers this season, his status has become more and more marginalized, and his status on the team is second to that of another backup player, Wayne Ellington, and even rookie Jordan Clarkson.
The official explanation is that Jeremy Lin and Kobe Bryant's attributes are not very compatible, Jeremy Lin needs to hold the ball, and needs a lot of offense with the ball, but with Kobe Bryant, he obviously can't get those ball-holding times, which also makes his data ugly, so far, he has only averaged 8 points, 46 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Take him up with Kobe, Scott's lineup is interesting......
Xu Xuan didn't know him very well, and he didn't mean to deliberately make friends, and the two nodded to each other even if they had met.
"I'll give me the ball later!"
Kobe Bryant is smart, he knows what Byron Scott means, the last Jeremy Lin to share the ball with him?
Hmph, think beautifully!
I don't want anyone to take the ball!
Jeremy Lin's face hesitated, after experiencing what happened in New York, he also understood that strength in the NBA is not the only one!
If you don't "serve" the boss well, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to stand.
......
Banker's Life Arena.
Xu Xuan stared at Kobe Bryant in front of him tightly.
Kobe's expression was very serious, and his eyes were full of murder.
Is it a dry pull back? Or a breakaway layup?
Xu Xuan was a little difficult, he couldn't understand Kobe's offensive paths.
At this moment, Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball, suddenly jumped, and Xu Xuan immediately pounced!
And then pounced!
Feints!
Kobe Bryant lifted the ball up and shook it, immediately withdrew it, he held the ball in front of his chest, and when Xu Xuan pressed half of his body on him, the ball was shot!
"Beep!"
The referee blows the whistle!
Xu Xuan's defensive foul!
And that's not all!
The ball floating in the sky...... It's in!!
“3+1!”
Kobe Bryant played a "3+1"!
Three-point shots, but also free throws!
Bryant exhaled, and he had figured out how to play the ball at the beginning, and it was all going according to his plan.
"Huh!"
added free throws, Kobe Bryant scored 4 points with one shot!
It's really not covered!
The score is 62-79, and the difference is within 20 points!
The Pacers were unaffected, and 17 points were still a sky-high advantage.
George Hill brought it over and didn't score once, and the rebound was accepted by Boozer, who gave Kobe Bryant a pass, and Jeremy Lin didn't even touch the ball.
Sad!
It's Kobe Bryant holding the ball again!
Xu Xuan gritted his teeth, if according to Kobe's shooting rate in the first three quarters, it seems that the previous trick directed by Fu Long can be replicated...... However, now Kobe Bryant can't eat it accurately!
can withstand such a confrontation and still shoot three points...... If you use that trick, you should be looking for death!
Fight!
Then fight for defense!
Xu Xuan also looked at it fiercely.
Kobe Bryant didn't play with flowers this time, a pure backward rollover jumper!
A slight shake of the left shoulder, then a sudden roll towards his right side.
Xu Xuan pounced.
Picturesque action!
Elegant!
Basket: Such a beautiful movement should be ironed!
Nets: No, I'm going to guard the smile of this action!
"Huh!"
After the basketball knocked on the rebound, it slipped in!
The ball is in!
Another three-pointer!
Scored 7 points in a row!
The score is 65-79, a difference of 14 points!
The gap is narrowing!
Kobe Bryant's expressionless retreat, 14 points is too far!
What he wants is a turnaround!
Turnaround!!
"Can it be continued? Bryant's third step-back jumper! ”
"It's a pity, it's just a little bit ......"
