Chapter 319: The Lakers who took the lead
"The referee came to the midfield and tossed the ball high!"
"Olajuwon is old and strong! Beat Ben Wallace to win the first offensive opportunity for the team! ”
"The starting lineup for this game in Houston is PG Jim Jackson, SG Mario Elie, SF Eddie Johnson, PF Charles Barkley, C Hakeem Olajuwon. Houston who lost Drexler, the No. 1 outside ball carrier was Jim Jackson! ”
The 1.98-meter-100kg heavy guard has averaged 25.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in a single season. This season, he has played more of a high-pitched sapper role in the Houston lineup, assisting the Big Three to handle the ball and use his size advantage to cut inside and score at the right time. The number of attacks with the ball in this way cannot be said to be small, but it is definitely not much. Without Drexler sharing the ball for him, will his performance change? ”
"Kobe Bryant greeted him! Intercepted Jim Jackson at the halftime logo! Close to the press! Tear ferociously! Kobe Bryant put the most intense defensive pressure at the beginning of the game! Will Jim Jackson be able to resist Kobe's pressing? Will Kobe Bryant fall into a foul or defensive crisis because of such a ferocious defense? ”
"Two people are entangled together! Kobe Bryant's thin but agile body blocked Jim Jackson's offensive footsteps! Barkley Waila! Open your hand outside the three-point line to ask for the ball! ”
Jim Jackson hesitated! Under the pressure of Kobe, with the advantage of his big ass, he forcibly stuffed the ball out. ”
"Wait! Charles Barkley is rounded! It's Ben Wallace! Jim Jackson's intention to pass the ball is too obvious! Bryant blocked 80% of his passing routes! And the remaining 20% of the route was found by Ben Wallace!"
"Steal! Ben Wallalai steals! Throw the ball to the frontcourt! He looked a little hesitant with his passing! I don't know if it's because there have been too many powerful passing mistakes before, Ben Wallace's pass is a little soft, and Kobe Bryant finally controlled the ball, but Jim Jackson has already made up for it! The rest of the players also came to the Houston half in turn, and Kobe Bryant lost the fast-break opportunity. ”
Kobe Bryant glared at Big Ben, who was scratching the back of his head, and Big Ben was really a tough man, and the pass was either so powerful that it seemed to be an outside football, or it was small enough to become a slow boccia. Doesn't this guy have a brain that controls his muscles?
Big Ben spread his hands helplessly, and then stepped forward to block and dismantle!
Kobe Bryant is a little dizzy, Barkley is ready to wrap at any time, and you are still running to me with Barkley!?
Hurriedly waved his hand, mud play Kai! Mud Song Kai!
And Kobe's waving gesture was mistaken by Ben Wallace————Come here!" Hurry up and block and dismantle!
Such a misunderstanding made Ben Wallace continue to rush over, and green light reflected on Kobe's swarthy face. Big Ben is on a rampage, is this what it means to rob his own people?
Kobe stumbled and dodged Ben Wallace's charge, but was hit by Barkley, who came up, and Barkley once again formed an iron-blooded blockade with Jim Jackson, and Bryant hurriedly stopped the ball and threw the ball to his own small forward.
Bruce Bowen!
Bowen raised his hand to look at the ball in his hand, and then looked at the small forward Eddie Johnson opposite, and couldn't help but be a little confused. What's the situation, I'm just a bastard, why should I go it alone.
He shoved the ball straight to Campbell, who was even more dizzy.
You're going to fix me? Do you want me to single out Olajuwon?
I'm not stupid!
Campbell didn't even test in front of Olajuwon and passed the ball back to Kobe!
Kobe Bryant was also speechless, looking at the basketball that had been running around and returning to his hands, and the scoreboard that had been consumed by his teammates for almost 24 seconds.
This may be the reason why Kobe Bryant's number of shots was super high in February!
Bryant took a step across, drifted with him, and threw the ball out from beyond the three-point line.
“DUANG!!!”
A heavy iron sound made Kobe a little helpless. Even without Drexler, teammates still have no way to score independently, this problem is really serious, Kobe can play once, hit twice, but there is no way to guarantee the hit every time.
In addition, Olajuwon's eyes were blazing, and he locked the inside line. Kobe's breakthrough was also scrapped, which led to Kobe's single offensive means.
The long rebound was taken into Barkley's arms and he started to run! Push forward!
Few power forwards have the speed of Barkley's ball-handling, and Barkley's short legs are fast, kicking the ground in succession and heading straight for the Lakers half.
Ben Wallace was the only one who managed to retreat, and even Kobe Bryant didn't have time to retreat.
Barkley made a three-step layup in front of Ben Wallace and the basketball slid out of the basket. The two men jumped again in an instant, with both Barkley and Ben Wallace showing their extraordinary ability to double bounce, and Ben Wallace eventually took the ball into his arms.
0:0!
In the first 1 minute of the game, neither team completed the attack!
Bryant ran back into the half court and took the ball from Ben Wallace.
“ISO!” The terrible pass of the first goal made Kobe Bryant plan to do one of his own first! Then slowly organize the attack.
The Lakers pulled away with four people, and Barkley directly threw off Ben Wallace and rushed to Kobe!
Now there is a problem, Ben Wallace's offensive pull is almost zero, and Barkley's attack is continuously destroyed by Ben Wallace!
Haslee on the sidelines was pulling at the few hairs on his head, what kind of fuss was this? Should Ben Wallace be replaced? Or not to swap it out? The offense without the Lakers is as bad as constipation, and Houston can use Olajuwon to lock up Campbell and Big Ben alone, and by the way, he can also watch Kobe's outside breakout.
And the result of the substitution, that is, Barkley and Olajuwon infinitely ate the Lakers' interior line, even if they didn't hit, they could grab countless secondary offensive rebounds to complete the rebound.
Harris thought about it, but he still couldn't risk the complete loss of the penalty area to replace Ben Wallace, at least the current Big Ben held Barkley firmly down.
Bryant faced the defense of Jim Jackson and Barkley, and just didn't think about anything, throwing the ball straight to the basket from beyond the three-point line.
"Huh!"
This time the shot hit, Kobe wiped the sweat on his forehead, this shot is a little cloudy.
"Damn lucky boy." Barkley cursed.
In this attack in Houston, Jim Jackson was directly deprived of possession, and Barkley advanced with the ball himself.
Buckley is very motivated today!
It's a pity that he met Ben Wallace, who was also in great form!
Ben Wallace rushed forward directly at half-time! Barkley couldn't close the momentum, and the basketball was poked out by Ben Wallace!
Eddie Jones ran, picked up the basketball in three steps, and dunked with one hand!
5:0!
