Chapter 171: Take it
"I can't stand it, the Trail Blazers' defense has collapsed across the board." The Magic sentenced the Trail Blazers to death just three minutes into the third quarter of the game.
Bryant played with the Trail Blazers' defense between applause, and continued to use pick-and-rolls to get misplaced single opportunities.
Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace became the biggest victims, being rocked by Kobe.
"It's too comprehensive, Kobe Bryant's offense is too comprehensive. From the penalty area to two steps beyond the three-point line, it's his hot zone! I think the only guards in the league who can put him under pressure defensively are Jordan and Payton. "This game really showed Kobe's dominance on the offensive end, unlike the previous simple offense or organization, Kobe Bryant did two points at the same time in one game!
This kind of Kobe Bryant is completely different in the strategic sense of the team, and you can't wrap up, and the single defense will be blown up.
Magic believes that Kobe Bryant has initially entered the realm of superstars with no solution.
"It's too fast, how long has he been in the league. How old is he??? The Magic was a little surprised, even though he also entered the superstar level in his rookie days, but he was already 20 years old at that time, and he had been battling Bird in the NCAA for many years.
"Maybe it was just an accident? No, it's no accident, organizational skills and vision don't fluctuate. And on the offensive end, Kobe's key ability is no worse than anyone else's! ”
"Kobe Bryant is a superstar."
The magician rubbed his hands happily, haha, this young superstar's sports brand company has a large stake in me!
Jordan is making hundreds of millions of dollars from sneakers this year! Kobe Bryant's future development will not be worse than Jordan's at all!
The magician is already fantasizing about the days when he will lie down and count the money in the future!
"Daddy, are you watching that big brother game last time we came to our house?" Little Elwin, 5 years old, walked up to the magician.
"That's right, son. That big brother is amazing. The magician looked proud.
Little Erwin nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Wait, little EJ, why is your mouth so red?" The magician noticed that something was wrong.
"God forbid! Did you turn your mom's lipstick out again? The magician was heartbroken, he loved this child very much, from the first son named Andre, and the second child directly named himself Erwin, it can be seen that the magician's love for the second son.
But this favor in exchange for little Erwin's unusual personality fetishes.
Little Erwin ran away.
"Smack." A doll falls out of her arms.
The magician's face contorted, trying to find out where the quick-acting heart pill was.
"No, little EJ must be tainted with some masculinity! Can't let him continue to hang out at home with Alyssa Johnson and the maid all day long! ”
"Ahh Ahh "Bryant sneezed on the court.
What's the situation, it's still playing. You're going to smoke all over your body, and you can sneeze?
Kobe Bryant was calm, but fortunately he didn't have the ball in his hand, went to the basket empty-handed, and then used O'Neal's blocking to the weak side.
Horry was watching with the ball at the top of the arc and immediately passed the ball to Bryant.
Kobe Bryant received the ball, and Ryder had already pounced, and this time he was very glued and didn't give Kobe an easy shot.
Bryant made a shooting feint, then broke to the right, hit the free throw line and pulled up the shot neatly.
Ryder struggled to interfere, but it was still useless, and he hit the shot.
Kobe Bryant punched, this is the 26th point of the game, there is still more than a quarter of the game, and he should be able to continue to rush 40+.
The Trail Blazers also used the color that Rasheed Wallace used his height and strength advantage to squeeze Robert Horry away and force a layup.
Roaring Tianzun's talent is indeed good, whether it is height, arm span, strength, bounce, or lateral speed, it is very good.
In the Pistons that defeated the Lakers in the last game, Rashid Wallace was even the main player who defended O'Neal, but Ben Wallace was used as a co-defense to contain it!
It's a pity that the current Roar Tianzun is still a second-year rookie, and his body has not yet grown to the peak. Whether it is him, or Sabonis, who has already gone downhill, there is no way to take Shaq O'Neill.
This time Kobe Bryant broke through to the basket again, attracted the defense and threw the ball high, and the follow-up O'Neal flew to catch the ball and dunk the ball in!
"Damn, damn! Why don't I have Kobe Bryant under me, no O'Neal! With just one player like that, the situation will be different today! P-J. Callesimo muttered to himself, although the Trail Blazers' air-cut tactics and Rasheed Wallace's singles tactics were both efficient.
But none of these points can really hurt the Lakers' roots, and the Lakers' defensive strategy will not change because of these offenses. And Kobe Bryant and O'Neal's offense completely disrupted the defensive arrangement of the players on the court.
The Trail Blazers' players are always unconsciously thinking about helping to defend Kobe and O'Neal, and it's their instinctive move. Because Kobe Bryant and O'Neal are too lethal, this is the aggressiveness of the superstar's attack, which can always attract the attention of the defense and break through the opponent's defensive setup.
Kobe Bryant went to the basket again, and with a strong air move, he caused Sabonis's defensive foul and scored 2+1.
"Fake, can no one stop him? Who is he? Michael jordan??? He's just an 18-year-old rookie! P-J. Callesimo spitted all over the Trail Blazers' faces.
The Trail Blazers, on the other hand, bowed their heads in shame.
"Damn, I'm going to get a superstar! Certain! ”
The game continued to advance, and although the Lakers still couldn't prevent the Trail Blazers' offense, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal's offense was more concise and efficient.
You must know that every pass carries the risk of mistakes, and the biggest benefit of Superstar is to reduce the number of passes and rely on the individual ability of the players to score, so that the team's error rate will be low, and there will be few opportunities to be counter-attacked.
Team basketball, which relies more on running and passing to pull space, is closely related to the tacit understanding of the team and the ability of each player, after the Lakers gradually adapt to the Trail Blazers' passing and cutting cooperation that is different from other teams. The Trail Blazers' offensive efficiency gradually decreased.
Eventually, the game was over and the Lakers won the game.
Trail Blazers 98: 112 Lakers.
The score didn't stretch, but on the court, the Lakers' suppression of the Trail Blazers lasted from the beginning to the end.
And Kobe Bryant got 40+ again!
45 points, 6 rebounds, 18 assists and 1 steal!
O'Neal dropped the score from the last game, scoring 29 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks.
Robert Horry, who started the game, was the third-best player on the Lakers' side, with 11 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
The best player on the other side was Rasheed Wallace, who had 24 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. He's already starting to see momentum as a top power forward.
Avidas Sabonis scored 11 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, although he played well on the offensive end, but he did not limit O'Neal at all, and the former giant has begun to go downhill.
