Chapter 526: Black Mamba's Triple Strike (Part II)
Paul. George, known as one of the NBA's top Cormites, but I'm afraid only a few people know that this "post-90s" boy born in Palmdale, California, was once a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Clippers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info But what is puzzling is that his number one idol is Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant.
After getting the first Kobe Bryant jersey at the age of 9, he wore it day and night, and then imitated Kobe's demeanor and movements, and even gave this state an interesting name, called "Kobe face".
Why George loves Kobe Bryant so much, in fact, I have carefully observed his growth process, although he loved basketball when he was a teenager, he often practiced alone, and according to his own self-explosion, after going to high school, he was also "ravaged by the court" by his sister for a long time. No matter how much exaggeration there is in this statement, one thing is certain, and that is Paul. George was not selected for the school team in his first year of high school, he only entered the school team in his sophomore year, and he was a substitute for a year, and he officially became the core main force in his third year of high school.
Therefore, not to mention basketball talent, he must work hard more than his own talent.
You say he doesn't have the talent to make it to the NBA? No, you can't look at the problem like this, compared with ordinary people, of course he is talented, but among the players who can enter the NBA, which one is not talented? Which one isn't a former high school star? Did you really think the NBA was so easy to get into? So to compare it to the NBA, Paul. George's basketball talent may be a little ordinary.
And George, who is "ordinarily talented", wants to grow up rapidly, and it is extremely important to determine a suitable idol to motivate himself.
Jordan is a little far away from him, so another paranoid, the same "handicapped" Kobe Bryant. Bryant is the best example to follow. So under the constant self-sharpening, Paul. George finally realized his ultimate dream and stepped into the NBA hall with "idol" Kobe Bryant. Bryant, head-to-head.
"The Bleachers" reporter Kevin. As Din said in his column, Paul. George is one of the few players he's ever seen, who really idolizes Kobe Bryant to motivate him, and he's not like some, just talking. Here's a famous joke, Kevin. Ding once said that if Kobe Bryant called George late at night, then the next day, George would be eager to let everyone in the league know.
As a basketball teenager, it is absolutely correct to choose Kobe as an inspirational idol, because Kobe's training maniac spirit is enough to make ordinary people like it without face. If you want to be really close to him, you can only practice hard.
That's why there was Paul. George, now with the ball, stands directly across from Kobe.
"Bryant, I really like you, you're my inspirational idol, but tonight ...... I'm going to beat you! "Paul. George held the ball, looked at Kobe Bryant, who took the initiative to change defenses, and said. This is a very correct "idol spirit", at least in the sports world, idols are not just used to "like" and "worship", "transcendence", "overcome" and "compare" is the true meaning of the so-called idols in the sports world.
Kobe Bryant is to Jordan, George is to Kobe.
It's true that you're my idol, but I'm sorry, I'm going to beat you whenever I get the chance, I'm going to blow you up!
Pacers No. 24 vs Lakers No. 24.
Kobe Bryant didn't speak, he has now entered the "Mamba state", and the blood of the whole person tends to be pure and cold.
George made a tentative step, and then he cut to the left, Kobe slid to block, George changed to the right, Kobe Bryant is still clinging, it's hard to imagine that Kobe is almost 35 years old, this single defense footwork and toughness, it's really amazing! Oh~ No, George's change of direction is not to break through, but to stabilize his body and stop his shot! The Pacers' on-site commentator shouted, "It's a beautiful change of direction stop!" Kobe Bryant immediately jumped to block, but it was still too late! β
Paul. George's ball is a bit of a state explosion, and the action is done in one go, without showing timidity in front of the "idol" at all, but to be full of firepower, so that the "idol" can affirm his ability. He is 8CM taller than Kobe Bryant and has excellent athleticism, so he changed direction and made a quick stop, making it difficult for Kobe Bryant to pose a first defensive threat.
And Kobe Bryant hasn't rested for a minute in this game, and his physical strength has long been on the verge of exhaustion, so the leg strength is obviously not enough when he jumps.
Paul. George made a successful shot, a long-range 2-pointer.
But when the ball flew halfway, it was blocked.
Someone was behind Kobe, Huo Ran soared into the air!
He is the No. 29 of the Lakers, Tang Qian!
He, how did he get there? Why is he in the 18-foot area?
This is Paul. George's inner voice is also Frank's voice. Vogel's inner voice.
Everyone knows that outside the restricted area, there is basically a place where the 7-foot man is extinct, let alone an 18-foot strip away from the basket?
Under normal circumstances, Tang Qian would not be able to do this, even if he initially formed the core ability of defense, he would definitely not be able to radiate such a far range. But after blessing the ability of the golden defensive card, it is very different, Tang Qian's defensive ability, including the core ability of defense, has been greatly improved, which is why there is this scene now.
"This ...... The Lakers' No. 29 blocked Paul's shot! His defensive range has actually expanded to 18 feet? Pacers live commentator Chris Brown. Denari said loudly, because this kind of ball, it is very rare, and it requires a perfect combination of athleticism, defensive awareness, and defensive ability from interior players, and ...... It also takes a lot of luck to do it.
"Defend! Defend now! Don't be stunned! Now we are still ahead! The head coach of the Pacers suddenly realized something and shouted loudly. It's a very correct sideline instruction that keeps the Pacers from getting too caught up in the "unchangeable past."
Once again, the basketball was in Kobe's hands.
There are only 9 seconds left in the game.
The Lakers are still trailing by three points.
Mike. D'Antoni's heart suddenly became nervous, and he wanted to call a timeout, but seeing Kobe's mental state on the court, he chose to let the game continue. Because sometimes a timeout can not only interrupt the opponent's state, but also the state of your own players.
If you're in the right shape, let the game continue.
This has been since Phil. After Jackson, it was very popular in the league, and it was completely different from the "almost rigid" before the 80s.
For the use of the player's mental state, activation, and stimulation, "Zen Master" Jackson can be called the strongest in NBA history.
Especially when it comes to the mental state of the stars, he has reached the extreme.
There is a common saying in "Zen Master", if a player is in good shape, why should he interrupt it?
That's exactly what D'Antoni thinks now.
Since the 24th is in good spirits, why should I help my opponent interrupt him?
You must know that there is such a thing as "state", which can be met but not sought.
Throughout the Bankers Life Arena, people can't help but shout "defend" to help the home team players create a favorable atmosphere.
Although the Lakers chose to pull away, the Pacers' attention was still focused on the Purple and Gold No. 24.
Always ready to supplement and assist in defense.
As the minutes ticked by, Kobe's breathing was already starting to be heavy, but his spirit and concentration were more concentrated than normal. This is what Jordan called the "killer state" and "killer instinct", no matter how tired you were before, once you get to this special juncture, your instinct will make you sober and make you focused.
The Pacers replaced Paul. George went to guard Kobe Bryant because it was just a round of single defense, and Paul was a single defense. George is obviously better than George. Hill is even better. This is the "special round" that distinguishes it from the "regular round". And sometimes it is these few "special rounds" that determine the outcome of a match.
It is especially suitable when it is a stalemate.
In 5 seconds, Kobe Bryant started to move, Paul. George was with him.
It is a great honor and a great challenge to keep an eye on the "idol" at the last minute. George worked 120 percent harder than usual.
Kobe Bryant made several breakthrough moves, but both were made by Paul. George gave a block this season to Paul. George's defense is no joke. Finalist in the top eight DPOY this season, the best defensive team mock vote, proper second team. Next year, he will even pull Zhan Huang off the horse and squeeze into the first defense, his outside defensive strength is absolutely the best in the league.
And this season is not yet 23 years old, young body, enough to maintain good physical fitness at the last moment.
Kobe Bryant was in a predicament for a while, and at this moment, there were less than 3 seconds left before the end of the game.
Just after Pacers head coach Frank Brown. Vogel was very satisfied with Paul. When George's single defense, Roy suddenly came out on the inside. Hibbert's voice said, "Be careful about making walls!" Be careful to make the wall! Paul was careful ......" and was not yet fully finished when Paul was on the move. George's eyes suddenly went black, and then he was pinned to the spot.
When he came back to his senses, Kobe Bryant in front of him had already slipped through his defense.
"Defend, defend! Go make up for Kobe Bryant! Immediately go to make up for Kobe Bryant!! "All of a sudden, Frank. . . Vogel couldn't calm down, because Kobe Bryant's league prestige and performance in the first few balls were enough to make his heart tremble. With the help of the inside line Tang Qian's blocking and dismantling cover, Kobe Bryant got rid of Paul. George's defense, then at a forty-five degree angle on the left, jumps out of the shot.
"Kobe, don't you think it's so easy to shoot!!"
The Pacers' reputation as a defensive powerhouse this season is not in vain, so the defenders who quickly switched and supplemented the defenders rushed out of the wing area and went straight to Kobe's shooting direction.
It's Reims. Stephenson and George. Hill, both of them abandoned their defenders, both of them attacked, and pounced hard towards the Lakers' No. 24!
It was the right defensive choice.
Because of the limited time for one, Kobe Bryant's passing may not be high; Second, even if it is passed to the three-point line, it is a 2-point shot, and now the Pacers can lead the Lakers by 3 points; Third...... They all bet on Kobe's personality and will never pass the ball!
If there were "Old Fish" Fisher, Steve. Nash, Kobe Bryant may be able to pass the ball, but with the current Lakers' outside lineup, he has no such plan at all.
All the attention was on the Pacers' basket.
However, the Pacers' defense speed is really fast and timely, and they have rushed to the effective defense area in the blink of an eye, which can form a strong defensive interference with the No. 24.
"Bryant! You can't vote! You're finished! β
Reims. Stephenson looked at Kobe Bryant, who was close at hand, and shouted loudly, at this time, it was impossible for anyone to help No. 24, so he had confidence in his speed and bounce.
Bryant. Bryant, you are an old guy of the "post-70s", and now we are the "post-90s" world, so admit defeat obediently!
The 96 golden generation is a thing of the past!!
Kobe Bryant looked at the two "fangs and claws" Pacers players, his face did not fluctuate at all, his movements and rhythm, still continued to stretch, according to the original trajectory of the liftoff. And then...... Throw a big back shot!
Stop and turn around and throw a three-pointer back!
The action is still picturesque, but because of leg strength and physical fitness, Kobe Bryant's jump height is not high.
There is still a possibility of being guarded down.
But in Reims. Stephenson and George. In Hill's eyes, No. 24 was gradually moving away from them, which made both of them have an illusion of "impossible".
Kobe Bryant's jump height is indeed not enough, but his backward range is very large, so big that the whole person loses his balance...... It's still floating backwards. It is foreseeable that after this ball is shot, Kobe Bryant will definitely fall outside the sideline, and it will fall heavily outside the sideline.
But none of these could stop his determination to shoot.
Suddenly, Tang Qian on the side remembered a Nike advertisement a few years ago:
Here's what the advertising slogan says:
IF.YOU.REALLY.WANT.ITγ
Translated into Chinese is:
As long as the heart is decided.
"Kobe. Bryant shot a three-pointer from a wide range of back, Lance and George did not block the ball, but the difficulty of this shot was too great, even if Ko......be Bryant was only halfway through his words, and with a "brush", it penetrated the Pacers' Nets and penetrated the hearts of the Indiana.
"In, in, in, goal, Kobe. Bryant hit a three-pointer and the Lakers tied the gap by ......"
After the goal, the Pacers were given only 0.8 seconds to attack, and then the No. 24 crashed directly into the seat on the sideline.
Although this is not a lore ball, this is not a Buzzer.Beaters, but falling on Tang Qian's head is far more shocking than throwing an ordinary lore ball.
Suddenly, his mind was reminded of the last 2012-2013 season, Kobe Bryant vs. the Raptors.
single-handedly, forcibly retained the Lakers' hope of playing.
This is probably the epitome of the so-called "second quartile of history".
Beep~
After the timeout, the Pacers threw a long-range three-dip to put the game at 77-77 and go into overtime.
