Chapter 221: Playing Pippen!
What is the most important thing about feints?
It's not a complicated change, it's not an exaggerated action.
You need to make the opponent believe in you and believe that you can score this goal.
Threat! Your goal will make the opposing defenders feel threatened enough.
When your offense is enough to threaten the opponent, the opponent's judgment will be affected.
Next, what to do, it's simple.
Perhaps as long as you look at it and raise your hand, the other party will be hit by a nervous reflex.
Kobe Bryant knows this, and when he passes people with his crotch and passes Pippen, Pippen must feel that Kobe Bryant will shoot in the middle of the range.
With an open shot at this position, Kobe Bryant can make 99 shots in 100 shots!
Pippen didn't dare to let Kobe Bryant shoot so comfortably!
At this time, a simple flick can fool this player whose defense is enough to rank in the top 10 in the history of small forwards.
Kobe Bryant is like a puppeteer, and Pippen is the marionette in his hand, and his every move is so funny.
To make a player who is bound to be inducted into the Hall of Fame behave so comically that only Kobe, a master of feints, can do it.
Pippen's eyes were dripping with blood, and he looked at Kobe Bryant with hatred, this guy made a big fool of him.
"Do you like this 'two tricks'?"
"No, you want two moves, then next round, let's continue."
Bryant's trash talk is the equivalent of adding fuel to the fire.
The angry Pippen didn't say a word, his glasses were red, as if he had really become an angry bull! Pippen has never been a talkative player, preferring to respond to trash talk with actual performances.
In the next attack of the Bulls, Jordan took the initiative to pull the bottom line, and Pippen blocked Harper again.
This time, the Lakers didn't dare to let Pippen's three points go, and Kobe and Eddie Jones didn't have a defensive exchange in place, but Pippen successfully attacked Kobe.
Pippen singles out Kobe!
Pippen is a very well-rounded small forward, and it can be said that he is the leader of the point forward, shooting, playmaking, and back. Every one of his offensive skills is quite good.
Three years ago, many experts believed that Pippen could play an incredible performance when he left Jordan to lead the team alone, and it was Jordan who overshadowed Pippen's brilliance.
They were wrong, after Jordan's retirement, Pippen's statistics did not change much, still averaging about 21+8+5 per game, and the average assists per game also declined.
That says one thing, Pippen is a well-rounded player who is perfect for playing as a second-in-command.
But he's not the kind of player who is the absolute cornerstone.
His ability to digest the ball is far from enough! He couldn't play at a dominant level.
Why is this happening?
Because Pippen seems to have good skills in every skill, but there is never a killer weapon that can kill the defense.
As a result, his attacking ability is very lacking, and a lot of scoring is based on conventional means.
Officially opening one-on-one, his skills seem mediocre.
Can Kobe Bryant keep Pippen?
Pippen dribbled back and forth from beyond the three-point line, and the other Bulls players all pulled away, allowing Bryant to go one-on-one with him.
Kobe Bryant lowered his center of gravity and put Pippen two steps, which happened to be a distance that could interfere with Pippen's three points to a certain extent, but would not be too close to cause Pippen to resist with strength.
Hasten! Pippen doesn't play with flowers, he just sinks his center of gravity and eats Kobe!
Pippen's start speed is far less than that of Grant Hill, or Allen Iverson, or even the aging Drexler, who Kobe met this season.
But his power! But it's terrible!
Pippen's ball protector resisted Bryant, and the two men became entangled and walked towards the penalty area.
"Drink!" Pippen yelled, dribbled behind his back, and the ball protector pushed Kobe Bryant by the way. This kind of action is normal in this iron-blooded era.
Kobe Bryant used his hand to pick up Pippen's push, not retreating, but advancing! Pressed up as soon as Pippen retreated, and at the same time tried to steal!
Pippen didn't expect Kobe's defensive stickiness to be so strong, he was a little flustered, he was almost broken, he had no choice but to stop the ball, gritted his teeth and turned over and made a jumper!
Kobe Bryant jumped high and glared angrily!
Raised with one hand, he pressed Pippen's jump shot down!
"Smack!"
Bloody Pippen!
This ball! Same way to play! Same location!
It's the same picture as the 2013 All-Star, bloody James!
The strength is not as good as you! Just because I can't stop you doesn't mean I can't stop you!
Defense, fight is willpower!
And Kobe Bryant will always have a ruthless spirit!
Never throw in the towel!
Bruce Bowen quickly picked up the basketball that slid into the Bulls' halfcourt.
"Eddie!" Pass to Eddie Jones.
Eddie Jones took the moon with one hand, smashed the ball into the basket with a rooster-style tomahawk slam dunk!
A paragon of the aesthetics of violence!
Pippen was gasping for air, he couldn't believe that he had been blown up!
Both offensive and defensive ends were blown up by Kobe!
Jordan on the side also frowned, Scotty, what are you doing?
"I can't believe it, Batman Scottie Pippen, in a panic in front of Kobe, he was taught a lesson by Kobe, will he cry nose?" Worthy breathed a sigh of relief, and in the late 1980s, Pippen had a lot of stories to tell about his relationship.
"Teasing, wearing the crotch, too imaginative, Kobe Bryant hid his physical weakness as skillfully as possible." The magician pays more attention to some details, and Kobe's dexterous style of play makes him feel as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit.
"That's right, you can see that Kobe's strength confrontation is still far inferior to Jordan Pippen, but his role on the court is no worse than theirs!"
"It's called a golf quotient!"
In the next third quarter, the matchup between Pippen and Kobe Bryant became the main theme.
Pippen is looking for Kobe to play at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but Kobe Bryant is not backing down, since he wants to fight! I'm going to have a good time with you!
Using his flexibility, he shook Pippen's center of gravity back and forth to get a decent shot space.
Pippen left a shadow in his heart because of the first goal, and he no longer dared to push Kobe too hard.
Kobe Bryant has room to do the action! Complete the jump shot after dribbling! Pick and roll to complete the three points! Empty slash to the basket!
Kobe Bryant beats Pippen! Although there are not many offensive opportunities, every attack is very efficient!
"It's horrible, Kobe Bryant in this section makes Pippen look like the rookie."
"How many times has Pippen been shaken off? Three times or five times? Tomorrow's newspaper headlines, it's not easy to choose a cover. ”
Jordan in the third quarter was still playing.
He integrated into the team again, played a triangle attack, and played a slow and leisurely big ball.
Even so, Bowen did not dare to neglect it in the slightest.
Who knows when Jordan will make a move? Once you get started, it's a series of goals.
And Kobe Bryant has been consumed a lot of physical energy by Pippen.
Bulls 72:76 Lakers!
With Kobe Bryant's magical performance of beating Pippen, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a 4-point advantage!
And the god of basketball is ready to wait.
