Chapter 219: Give Me That Damn Ball

Sun Hao and Kobe Bryant were separated from the technical table, and when he was walking to the Mavericks bench, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the front row of the audience.

When he came over to chat with Kobe, the spot was still empty.

Scarlett Johansson.

Although he already knew that Scarlett was not Joselin before, the seven-point similar face still made Sun Hao a little trance.

And Scarlett smiled and stretched out her hand to greet him.

He smiled in response, then turned to the bench.

The scene is about to enter the opening ceremony.

First the away team and then the home team.

When Kobe Bryant was introduced, the cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

In O'Neal's absence, Bryant is the owner of the arena.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Mavericks' side, Nash, Sun Hao, Finley, Nowitzki, Lafrentz.

On the Lakers' side, Fisher, Kobe, Reagan Fox, Robert Horry, Samaki Walker

Lafrentz jumped to win over Walker, and the Mavericks took the lead in attacking.

Nowitzki catches the ball high and singles Horry.

So far this season, Nowitzki has undoubtedly been the best player for the Mavericks.

He averaged 24.2 points per game on 48 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.

Of course, what is more important is that his one-handed golden rooster independence has begun to bear fruit.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has gradually developed the requirements to become a tactical core singles point.

And in O'Neal's absence tonight, the Mavericks' style of play at the beginning was also clear, allowing Nowitzki to play more inside.

He dribbled to a breakthrough that Horry had never carried before, and he turned around and threw a step-back jumper.

Although this wave of attacks did not use the Golden Rooster Independence, that action has been imperceptibly integrated into his other attacks.

This jumper Horry only had to watch.

"Huh!"

Nowitzki hit a solid jumper to open the scoring for the Mavericks.

When it came back to halfcourt, the Mavericks went straight to a 3-2 defense.

After Nelson Sr. tasted the sweetness of joint defense, he couldn't wait to put it on at the opening.

In O'Neal's absence, the Lakers' interior offensive ability has fallen off a cliff, and there is nothing wrong with this joint defense.

Bryant broke through with the ball from the outside and was caught by the joint defense, and the ball was given to Horry in the bottom corner, who made a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Sun Hao was right before, the Lakers are not a weak team even without O'Neal.

Horry and Fisher have both shot over 40 percent from three-point range this season.

The 3-2 joint defense was expanded, but the two bottom corners were relatively weak, and Bryant's first offensive play was quite reasonable.

The Mavericks went to the frontcourt and continued to play inside, and Nowitzki broke through Horry to the basket and drew a foul on Walker.

He hit both free throws from the free-throw line and scored four straight points in his opening game.

O'Neal is not there, the Lakers' defense under the basket has become much weaker, and there is no way to take Nowitzki.

Bryant continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, and he caught Fisher in the bottom corner of the other side.

Fisher shook off Finley, who flew at him, and dribbled to a mid-range jumper.

5 to 4.

The Lakers opened with two open offensive goals in a row, and each shot by a different person.

This shows the excellent form of the Lakers since the beginning of the season.

But what's even more terrifying is that Kobe Bryant delivered two assists in a row.

Full Zhan, pinnacle Mai, diligent shark, reasonable department.

Either one is scary enough.

The Mavericks then pushed to the frontcourt.

Phil Jackson stood up at this point, put his left and right little fingers in his mouth, and blew the whistle.

The Lakers followed suit with a joint defense, but it was the opposite of the Mavericks, a 2-3 joint defense.

The so-called 2-3 and 3-2 refer to the defensive position in the joint half.

2-3 main defense inside, taking into account the two bottom corners, but the two 45 degrees and the top of the arc are the weak points of the defense;

3-2 on the perimeter, but the basket and the two corners are weak points.

Seeing this, Nowitzki directly returned the ball to Sun Hao, and the two of them tacitly played blocking and dismantling.

As soon as the first gear was dismantled, Sun Hao's retreat at a 45-degree angle on the right side was thrown with his hands open.

"Huh!"

Vote for it!

Dallas double shot inside and out to help you orgasm easily.

5 to 7.

The Mavericks overtook the score!

Bryant continued to score in the frontcourt, but this time Fox, who received the ball, couldn't shoot the ball in.

The biggest difference between a role player and a star player is offensive consistency.

Don't look at the shooting percentage, or even higher for some role players, but many of the stars are scored with high-intensity defense.

Lafrenz defended the rebound, and the Mavericks countered with direct defense.

On the third-line fast break, Finley received a pass from Nash and made a three-point shot from the bottom corner.

"Huh!"

There are too!

5 to 10!

The Mavericks are not in bad shape so far this season!

Attacking with a combination of defenses and counter-attacking is what they have been good at this season.

Kobe Bryant continued to break through the frontcourt, and Fisher had a good chance to catch the ball, but Sun Hao's defense interfered, and the latter's three-point shot was missed.

Nowitzki grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Mavericks pushed the fast break again.

Although Finley's layup was blocked by Kobe Bryant's desperate pursuit this time, the rhythm on the court has been clearly brought up by the Mavericks.

The signs of running and bombing are already emerging.

Kobe Bryant went straight to the front court and dropped directly into the low post, with his back against Finley and reaching out for the ball.

Once he had the ball, he motioned for everyone to pull away.

It's obvious that it's going to be singles.

The reasonable department played too well at the beginning, and Sun Hao originally said that he would find a way to provoke him.

Now it seems that it is free, and the opening sentence of "King of Los Angeles" is enough.

Back singles, roll over and back jumper.

When Adi traveled to China before, Sun Hao felt that Kobe Bryant's confrontation had become much stronger.

Now it seems that Kobe Bryant was preparing for the development of his new offensive technique at that time.

This style of play requires strength support, especially waist and abdominal strength.

"Huh!"

Kobe Bryant's backs have Jordan's seven-point charm and hit steadily.

Nash received a pass from Nowitzki and missed a three-point chance from a 45° angle.

Walker grabbed the defensive rebound and returned to the frontcourt, where Bryant continued to play Finley in the low post.

This is also the weak point of the 3-2 joint defense of the Mavericks.

You must know that playing the inside line, not only the inside line is strong, but also the low post offense.

Kobe Bryant still turned and leaned back, and Finley defended better this time, reaching out to interfere with Kobe's shooting vision.

"Huh!"

But Bryant still put the ball in the basket.

Finley and Kobe Bryant are both Jordan's successors, but there is a clear gap between the two in talent.

"Kobe Bryant~~ Bryant!!"

With the shouts of the live DJ, the Staples Center has been plunged into a sea of boiling.

Nicholson also put down the drink in his hand and stood up to applaud Kobe.

A shooting guard who looks like Jordan, there's no reason for the Angelenos not to like it.

9 to 10.

Kobe Bryant's two picturesque backs helped the Lakers catch up again.

What's more, after Kobe Bryant made consecutive shots, the Mavericks' run-and-gun was extinguished.

Run, boom, run, boom, a big part of it is the fast attack of grasping defensive counterattacks.

If the opponent can keep scoring goals, it will be difficult to run.

The ball from the Mavericks came to Sun Hao.

They also need to score now to regain control of the situation on the field.

Sun Hao continued to play with Nowitzki.

This time, Fox defended very well, and Sun Hao did not have a direct shooting opportunity.

Sun Hao made a pass feint to Nash, and after the deceived Fox moved to the left, he stepped back to the right and scored three points from a distance of half a meter from the three-point line.

"Huh!"

Sun Hao's three points, go in again!

His "Long Range Marksman" and "Infinite Range" were already promoted to the Gold level last season.

Both badges are now on their way to the highest level of Hall of Fame, and while there is still some way to go, they are always rising.

9 to 13.

The three-point shot is very fast, whether it is chasing points or pulling away the score.

As long as you shoot well, 3 points will always be one more point than 2 points.

Kobe Bryant, continue to chisel Finley in the low post.

Finley couldn't help it, and at the moment Kobe Bryant's shot, he struggled to block Kobe's hand.

But after Kobe Bryant's core strength came up, he still threw the ball steadily.

The ball was slightly off the beaten track after being interfered with, but after stumbling on the basket, the second fall still went into the net!

2+1!

Kobe Bryant scored three goals in a row with a backward approach!

Today the blacksmith shop in Milan, it is directly closed!

After the goal, Bryant reached out and clenched his fist and raised it to knock back and forth, looking slightly excited.

Bryant goes to the free throw line.

Nelson Sr. called Sun Hao and Nash to his side at this time, and the Mavericks readjusted their defense.

Bryant's penalty was also hit.

He scored seven points in a row.

12 to 13.

The two teams have only played five minutes and have scored 25 points combined, and it looks like there will be a big battle tonight.

Sun Hao ran without the ball in the frontcourt, and then shot after receiving a pass from Nash.

The spinning basketball attracted the attention of a large number of fans at the scene.

"Huh!"

Then a crisp sound came from inside the loudspeaker.

Sun Hao scored 3 three-pointers in a row!

That's interesting!

Kobe Bryant scored 3 backs, and Sun Hao responded with 2 three-pointers!

12 to 16!

The Mavericks continue to lead.

Kobe Bryant continued to fall low.

But the Mavericks' defensive formation has also changed.

Switched from 2-3 to man-marking.

When Kobe Bryant singled Finley, Sun Hao on the weak side directly chose to put Fox in the past.

Kobe Bryant bag clip to choose ...... Continue to roll over and jump to the baseline!

What is a bag clip!

"Huh!"

The key is to score the ball!

Kobe Bryant, threw 4 backs in a row!

God!

"I felt like I saw Michael Jordan."

Steve Cole, who was commenting on the scene, used such an adjective.

There are many successors to Jordan, but only Kobe Bryant can replicate Jordan's style of play.

14 to 16.

The scores of the two teams continued to be deadlocked.

When the Mavericks got to the front again, Phil Jackson started whistling again.

The Lakers' defensive formation changed again, switching from a 2-3 combo defense to man-marking.

However, it's not exactly man-marking, and the outside players are all stepping on the three-point line to defend.

This formation should be familiar to fans who watched the Spurs play the Mavericks last season.

At that time, Popovich relied on this trick to pinch Sun Hao, who felt hot.

Because of Sun Hao, he won't be in the middle distance.

However, Sun Hao was really happy to see this lineup.

Phil Jackson certainly hasn't watched his game lately!

Sun Hao and Nowitzki's high blocking, a quick stop shot that accelerated to the mid-range position after dismantling.

A little slower, a little higher, a little more rhythmic.

Jordan's teaching, Sun Hao's shot.

And Bryant completely two flavors of the middle distance.

"Huh!"

But the result is the same.

Sun Hao also scored 4 goals in a row!

This time, Phil Jackson felt a little headache.

He really didn't focus on Sun Hao before the game, because Nowitzki's previous performance was too dazzling, and because Sun Hao hadn't scored high points this season.

He didn't expect that after only one offseason, Sun Hao would develop a new skill.

Now in this league, apart from Kobe, there is anyone else who can do this?

No, to be precise, Sun Hao made him feel more terrifying than Kobe.

Because Sun Hao also went to play the Asian Championships in the summer!

What a terrifying ability this man to learn.

For a moment, the idea of wanting to coach Sun Hao was born in his heart.

However, that kind of thought was just a fleeting moment, and now the bigger problem in front of him was how to prevent Sun Hao.

His choice was to look again.

Bryant hit a low back shot and was caught at a bad angle, and he passed the ball to Fisher in the bottom corner of the other side.

At this time, he was still Peter Pan, but he hadn't reached the point where the double bag was empty.

Fisher makes a three-point shot from the bottom corner.

"Phew!"

This time he missed.

Sun Hao, the middle distance after the front court continues to block and dismantle.

To say that the biggest difference between Nowitzki Sun Hao and O'Neill Bryant is the relationship between each other.

Bryant sees O'Neal as a stepping stone to becoming the king of Los Angeles, but Sun Hao and Nowitzki trust and encourage each other.

Nowitzki feels good, and like the opening, Sun Hao will willingly pull the space.

Now that Sun Hao has a good hand, Nowitzki will take the initiative to give up the ball and let him attack continuously.

Sun Hao took it apart and made another mid-range shot.

This time he missed the shot.

Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, saw it and nodded.

Sun Hao's mid-distance is still not so stable in comparison.

Kobe Bryant continued to play the ball in the front court with his back in the low post, and Fox didn't have a shot!

Looking back, Nowitzki continued to block Sun Hao, and trust was revealed in every detail.

Sun Hao also continued to burst in and shoot the middle distance again.

"Huh!"

Sun Hao, give him the score again!

He has scored 13 points in this quarter before he knows it!

Bryant also split the ball in the middle of the pack in the frontcourt, and this time it was Horry who received the ball.

Three chance balls in a row, three different role players in a row.

"Phew!"

The same is the ending.

The Milan blacksmith shop was closed, but the Como blacksmith shop next door was open.

Striking iron is a long-term livelihood.

And there is no comparison, no harm, looking back, Sun Hao suddenly attracted the Lakers' inside bag, and Sun Hao gave the ball to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki received the ball and scored two points on an easy layup.

14 to 22!

The Mavericks went on a 6-0 run to stretch the margin to 8 points!

Kobe Bryant continues to be in the frontcourt.

Finley opted to defend around the front this time.

Fisher didn't get the ball in the first place when he saw it.

Kobe Bryant received the ball, wrapped the ball, and his teammates hit the iron for three rounds.

And if you go around the front defense and pass in, there is a certain risk.

Fisher beckoned Bryant to come out and change his play.

But he soon paid the price for his choice.

"Give me the damn ball!"

Bryant struggled to shake off Finley's entanglement with his hands and re-put himself in a back-hitting position, shouting at Fisher. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
