"Tracy, I'll guard against that guy later."

As the game was about to start, Kobe Bryant opened his mouth and said to Maddie.

"No, I'll defend you!"

Maddie outright refused.

On the Chinese team's side, only Sun Hao interested him.

"You're a small forward, you're guarding him, you're letting Gilbert defend the opposing guard?"

Kobe Bryant was reasoning.

"Like...... Kind of makes sense. ”

Maddie thought for a moment and nodded.

Kobe smiled and patted Maddie on the shoulder, and he realized that Maddie was still the same teenager he used to be.

At this time, the players of both sides have already appeared, and Maddie suddenly realizes that something is wrong.

He seems to ...... Is it a shooting guard?

Arenas turned his head in confusion, as if he had heard the two bigwigs talking about him.

"Tim, you're here to defend Yao."

On the other side, Garnett directs Duncan.

Duncan had a question mark on his face.

"Your defense is better than mine."

Garnett's words made it impossible for Duncan to refuse.

Seeing Duncan nod, a smile appeared on the corner of Garnett's mouth.

Yao Ming choked him enough in Sydney, so leave this difficult opponent to Duncan!

Knowing that it is not his style to favor the tiger in the mountains, he has never targeted people who are weaker than him.

The fans cheered thunderously, and the starters on both sides appeared one after another.

On the Chinese side, Sun Hao, Hu Weidong, Li Nan, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming.

On Ady's side, Arenas, Kobe, Maddy, Garnett, Duncan.

Garnett jumped first to get the ball back into Adi's half.

He is tall, fast, has a long arm span, and is a little prince of the jumping ball.

Arenas advanced to the front court with the ball and fed it to Garnett high to respond.

The defensive formation of the Chinese team is similar to that of the Asian Championships, with the basket handed over to Yao Ming, and the defense expands outward.

Garnett saw it and shot straight from the free throw line to the mid-range jumper.

It's his forte.

"Phew!"

But the ball didn't go in!

Yao Ming grabbed a defensive rebound.

Sun Hao advanced to the front, and the Adi team had already retreated to the half.

This Adi team does not have a serious center forward, and the speed of the transition between attack and defense is fast.

Kobe Bryant defends Sun Hao closely, and the reason why he takes the initiative to defend Sun Hao is because he knows Sun Hao's offensive skills very well.

Yao Ming mentioned that the high position is used to block and dismantle.

Kobe Bryant directly chose to go around the block and pounce outward, not giving Sun Hao a three-point chance on the outside.

Sun Hao took cover to the free throw line.

Duncan was also backing away.

The Spurs just played a tie-break with the Mavericks in the playoffs last season, and he also knows Sun Hao's offensive skills.

Duncan Bryant, one after the other, coincidentally released the middle distance.

They all knew that it was Sun Hao's offensive cold zone.

Sun Hao...... A mid-range shot with a stop!

His shot was still a one-move shot, but it looked a little slower than usual.

Although it is a middle distance, the ball has a high arc.

"Huh!"

After crossing a high parabola, the basketball hollows into the net!

Sun Hao's middle distance was thrown!

Kobe Bryant and Duncan were stunned for a moment, this is not quite what they imagined?

But they didn't think much of it, just a middle distance.

Bryant went to the front court to ask for the ball, played a block with Garnett, and returned the ball to Garnett.

He had a great time with the Lakers last season as a Pennsylvania Magic, and he already loved passing.

Garnett catches the ball and shoots again.

"Phew!"

Or not!

Socialist baskets, poisonous!

However, Bryant reacted quickly, jumped up to grab an offensive rebound, and then scored a quick layup.

One of the great characteristics of top NBA players is their quick reflexes.

There is a classic jpg of Downs saving the throw-in.

He saw the ball out of bounds from outside bounds, jumped into touch in small steps, and then leaned over to save the ball, which he did in an instant.

Kobe Bryant's ball shows this attribute.

Yao Ming didn't have time to do it.

2 to 2.

Sun Hao and Kobe Bryant each scored one goal in the opening game.

Sun Hao continued to block and dismantle with Yao Ming in the front court, and after dismantling, he broke through in another emergency stop mid-distance shot.

"Bang!"

The shot was a little heavier.

However, the ball hit the rebound and bounced into the net.

Socialist Basket ......

At this moment, Kobe's face changed.

"Why don't I defend it?"

Maddie leaned over and asked with a smile.

Bryant waved his hand to move aside.

Sun Hao's defeat of the Lakers felt that it was nothing, it was just that Sun Hao's heart was relatively big.

Even Sun Hao won the best rookie and he didn't think it was anything, after all, the old Nelson's team was easy to brush up on data, and the rookie class of 2000 was too weak.

But just now, he had a very different feeling about Sun Hao.

He felt that Sun Hao was likely to become a big opponent for him in the future.

Because he realized that Sun Hao had trained the middle distance in one summer.

Because he did the same thing last year, he knows how much effort it takes.

Maddie was bored, and went to the front court to ask for the ball directly.

If you don't have a chance to defend, then attack.

And Garnett's opening style of play was too soft.

It felt like being afraid of the rookie center on the other side.

Although the opponent is quite tall, what is there to distinguish between this kind of rookie?

When his cousin Carter was at the Sydney Olympics, he blocked the 2.18-meter center Frederick Weiss.

This center named Yao Ming is nothing more than taller!

The fake shot with the ball was really sudden, and Maddie squeezed past Li Nan and rushed inside.

Seeing Yao Ming's help in defense, he was castrated, and jumped directly into the air.

What Carter can do, he can do better!

Because he is destined to surpass his cousin!

Maddie's physical talent is much better than Carter's, and this time she took off in the air, looking like a rainbow, and she was determined to win.

But just as he pulled the ball high, Yao Ming's reaction speed actually kept up!

Yao Ming's hand pressed on the basketball, and after the confrontation between the two forces, although Yao Ming was knocked back, the ball was directly slapped away!

Maddie's spacle, failed!

His eyes were full of surprise when he landed.

Yao Ming actually stopped him!

This made him a little unexpected.

Adi's sideline ball was sent out, and time was running out when Duncan's trademark 45° angle wipe was scored.

Although the offensive efficiency of the Adi team is not high, there is always someone who can put the basketball in the basket.

There are too many monsters in the Adi team, they fight seriously, and it is really difficult for the Chinese team to defend against them.

But it doesn't matter if you can't prevent it, Sun Hao inherits the old Nelson basketball concept, as long as he can score.

He and Yao Ming played again, this time he went to the right, and Kobe Bryant and Duncan followed to the right.

He showed his playmaking talent and returned the ball to Yao Ming before the bag.

Yao Ming made a decisive shot in the middle distance after receiving the ball.

Soft feel.

"Huh!"

Yao Ming's middle distance, also in!

6 to 6!

The Chinese team and the Adi team played back and forth at the beginning, and they were evenly divided!

The emotions of the fans at the scene were unusually high.

In terms of identity, four of the five members of the Adi team were All-Star starters last year!

This starting strength is no weaker than the dream team!

If the Asian Championships are because of the opponent, I don't know how strong this team is, but in the opening minutes, the title of the strongest Chinese team has been hammered!

Maddie continues to attack with the ball in the frontcourt.

He beckoned Duncan to pick up the pick-and-roll, and after the split, he hit Yao Ming with a small hit, and a breakthrough layup after continuous shaking.

He had a huge stride and stretched his body before the layup, showing his talent.

But Yao Ming also stretched his body to cover it, although he didn't cover it, it still interfered with his shot!

Maddie's shot is off again!

Yao Ming protects the defensive rebound!

After two consecutive attacks to no avail, Maddie's eyes were obviously different when he looked at Yao Ming.

From the previous surprise to appreciation.

It was the first time he had seen such a nimble tall insider.

This is Maddie, if it was Kobe, he wouldn't stop if he didn't turn Yao Ming over, but Maddie wasn't Kobe.

He found himself kind of liking this big man!

Sun Hao continued to shoot from mid-distance in the frontcourt, and this time he couldn't hit.

However, he managed to draw Duncan out of the interior, and Yao Ming grabbed an offensive rebound above Garnett's head and scored quickly on the second offense.

In this friendly match, Yao Ming's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has been extremely dazzling.

The fans at the scene watched Yao Ming's rookie season with infinite expectations.

The same is true against the All-Star lineup of the Adi team, and the opponent of the regular season......

However, Adi's offense was overwhelmed, and Bryant burst through Maddy, who hit a three-point shot from the outside.

The score on the field has been deadlocked.

And as time went on, the physical fitness of the Chinese team began to decline, and the Adi team began to slowly pull the score apart.

Kobe Bryant, in particular, was happy to be a thief when the Pennsylvania magician.

After a success, people accumulate experience.

Kobe Bryant turned around in the second half of last season and helped the Lakers go all the way to the championship, and he liked that style of play.

"Kobe, you can't be the king of Los Angeles by passing."

In a defense, Sun Hao and Hu Weidong chatted with Kobe Bryant after switching defenses.

Kobe Bryant looked directly at Sun Hao.

Sun Hao's reminder made him have the most primitive desire to be reawakened.

"If you keep playing like this, you can only be a second-in-command, you see the way I play in Dallas, when I feel good, I am the boss of the team."

Sun Hao is correcting the misguided Kobe Bryant.

And he used himself as an example, which is quite contagious.

Bryant...... I want the ball directly!

Feints after taking the ball, breaking through the mid-distance.

Because Jordan has taught shooting skills, Sun Hao's understanding of mid-range is much deeper than before.

He knew that Kobe Bryant was a two-action shot, and it would be difficult to interfere with it when he waited.

So before Kobe Bryant could lift the ball, he made a lightning shot.

"Smack!"

He slapped the ball in Kobe's hand.

However, Kobe Bryant was really strong, and he didn't drop the ball when he hit it, and he forcibly pulled it out.

"Phew!"

Although Sun Hao didn't shoot it that time, the impact was not small, Kobe Bryant's shot failed to hit!

Yao Ming protects the defensive rebound.

"Look, I'm right, right? The offensive feeling is to be raised by the shot, you just pass the ball and shoot the feeling is gone, you can't score points, how can you be the king of Los Angeles? ”

Bryant didn't answer, but responded with actions.

He kept playing Sun Hao for the next few rounds, and it was very efficient.

He proved Sun Hao's words wrong with his actions.

After a few rounds, Sun Hao felt that Kobe Bryant was getting stronger again.

And when he was in the right position, he could feel that Kobe's weight and confrontation had increased a lot, which was another evolution.

It seems that it has become more difficult for him to complete the hidden task of [True and False Mamba].

However, he is in a good mood, because Kobe Bryant has a tendency to be himself under his persuasion.

The Mavericks and the Spurs reached a tiebreaker in the Western Conference semifinals last season, and the goal of the new season must be in the Western Conference finals or even the championship.

To do that, playing against the Lakers is a given.

With Kobe's previous Pennsylvania Magic's style of play, other teams, including the Mavericks, don't have a chance at all.

But if Kobe Bryant is himself, then hopefully it will come.

Before on the bus, Kobe joked that he would help Garnett win the Chinese team by 58 points.

Jokes are jokes, and they do.

After all, the strength of the Chinese team itself is not strong.

However, in the main stage of the first quarter, the Chinese team only trailed the Adi team by 5 points.

On the one hand, the Chinese team's own offense is good, and on the other hand, after Kobe Bryant began to fight alone, the offensive efficiency of the Adi team has declined significantly.

It's not that Kobe Bryant is weak, but that the overall strength of the Adi team is too strong.

No matter how efficient it is, it is not as good as the whole, and it is difficult to kill people in two or two chisels.

Of course, the most important thing is that the enthusiasm of others is declining after they have few opportunities to make a move.

After all, it's just a friendly game, and with the switchback, these superstars are interested.

At halftime, the score was 36-40, and the Chinese team was only 4 points behind the Adi team at halftime.

If you continue to play like this, don't think about 58 points, the Adi team may even lose!

The organizer is out at this time, and there is always one side who is unhappy when winning or losing this kind of friendly match.

And after half-time, the fans have already seen everything they want to see.

In the second half, the rules were changed, and the two sides were directly mixed.

Sun Hao, Kobe, Li Nan, Wang Zhizhi, and Duncan are on the first team, and Arenas, Hu Weidong, Maddy, Garnett, and Yao Ming are on the first team.

The adjustment was full of novelty, and the excitement of the fans on the sidelines continued to be reawakened, and the interest of the players on the field was also reawakened.

Maddie and Yao Ming blocked the fake and made a real pass, and Yao Ming received the ball in the middle and scored a direct dunk for the Adi team.

After Yao Ming scored, he turned back to Maddie and slapped him.

Although the two didn't know each other before, even Maddie wanted to separate Yao Ming at first.

But if you don't fight, you don't know each other, judging from the cooperation just now, the chemistry between the two is quite good.

On the side of the Adi team, Maddie and Yao Ming have a tacit understanding, but on the Chinese team, Sun Hao has experienced another idiom: reap the consequences.

Kobe Bryant changed teams, his desire to attack was undiminished, and he faced Maddie, who defended himself, and showed off his offense.

Maddie has never been in a defensive lineup in his career, but that doesn't mean he doesn't defend well.

Especially in the early stage of his career, his physical condition is too good, and it is difficult for opponents to score in front of him if he defends carefully.

This opponent also includes Kobe.

Bryant praised Maddie's talent more than once during his lifetime, and the opponent's evaluation was the most convincing.

Kobe's offensive efficiency is much lower than when he played Sun Hao before.

On the one hand, Yao Mai, who is new to acquaintance but has a good heart, and on the other hand, he deducts the pass button to be his own Peter Pan.

As a result, the score of the Chinese team was slowly pulled away.

Sun Hao couldn't cry or laugh.

However, he is still in a very good mood, after all, it doesn't matter if the friendly match is won or lost, especially how fun and how to come after the mix, just like during the fan meeting during the day.

The important thing is Kobe's trend, and the Mavericks will have a head start next season! Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
