Chapter 668: Dry Rocket (Outbreak Complete~)
Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.
"This is an ESPN live room, and I'm Rachel. The Knicks, tonight's all-American live broadcast is the Los Angeles Lakers home against the Houston Rockets. Both teams are currently 4-1 and are among the leaders of each division. Mr. Thomas and Moses. What does Mr. Malone think? ”
"Hello everyone, I'm Isaiah. Thomas. ”
"Hello~ I'm Moses. Malone. ”
"Both of them are famous in the NBA, I don't know what they think of this game?" Rachel. Nick Dow.
"I think the Rockets have a better chance of winning." Isaiah. Thomas Road.
"I think so too." Moses. Malone also said.
"Oh, the views of the two guests are very consistent, is there any reason?"
"Smiling Assassin" Thomas said first: "The Rockets' lineup is more balanced, and the bench strength is also good, the Lakers' starters and benches are not balanced, and they can start the season with four consecutive wins, to be honest, I think it's already surprising." Of course, I would like to state here that Mr. Black Mamba's recovery has exceeded my expectations, and if he can keep it up, the best Achilles tendon recovery award, there will be no Dominic. Something happened to Wilkins. ”
"The Lakers' strong point is similar to the Rockets' strong point, Kobe Bryant against Harden, hot against Howard, and the other three people are not as strong as the Rockets at all. Chandler. Parsons + Omir. Asik + Patrick. Beverley, this lineup is enough to tear up another 3 points for the Lakers. In addition, Kobe Bryant is also old and suffered a fatal injury, in fact, he does not necessarily have any advantage against Harden. Not to mention, there were no particularly powerful opponents in the first 5 games, and this game was his touchstone. Personally, I think that Dwight. Howard is also currently the league's No. 1 center. "Moses. Malone analyzed.
"It doesn't look like everyone is optimistic about the Los Angeles Lakers, I wonder if tonight's game will be as expected by the two of you? Let's get into the field. ”
Los Angeles, the Staples Center, is crowded and star-studded.
Because Hollywood is nearby, almost every national live broadcast will have big-name stars show up to cheer for the Lakers.
Taylor and Carly. Klaus arrived at the scene, but the "weird" thing was that the two of them did not sit together, but sat on both sides of the audience. Sofia and Justin also came at the Lakers' home court, and basically didn't fall behind.
But Tang Qian didn't pay attention to these, and he didn't even look at his phone much.
Because this season, he also wants to give it his all and not be distracted by other things.
Howard looked at the Lakers No. 29 standing opposite him, and couldn't help but taunt: "What, you finally got your wish?" Finally got a starting spot? Shouldn't you still be thankful for me? Tang Qian knows what the subtext of the sentence "Warcraft" is, your starter was given to you by me, if I am here, it will not be your turn at all!
"Thank you for what? It doesn't matter to me whether you go or not. "Tang Qian's current mentality and competitive strength have long been reborn from last season, and there is no need for him to be false to Howard anymore. Of course, when he was on one team last season, he didn't accommodate the other side much, but he beat the Lakers No. 12 a lot of times.
Oh no, it can't be called Lakers No. 12 now, it should be called No. 12 for the Rockets, No. 12 for Houston.
"You're still so crazy! It's so annoying! China...... China Hot! After Howard heard Tang Qian's words, his expression was a little gloomy. I didn't expect you to like me, either. Tang Qian said: "The grievances between the two of us have long been settled, and they can't be resolved, right?" ”
"In that case, why do you still talk so much nonsense?" Lakers No. 29 said: "Just do it!" ”
"You don't need to say it! I'm going to blow you up tonight! Howard also retorted viciously.
It's a pity that no matter how "vicious" he is, he can't recover the physical condition and competitive strength of the "Peak Warcraft" now, since he left Orlando, the name "Warcraft" has disappeared forever, he is just Dwight. Howard.
Since it's just Dwight. Howard, what do you take with the current Don Dive Scramble?
Tang Qian easily won the first game, and the Lakers got the right to attack first.
But before he had possession of the ball for a few seconds, Steve. Blake's pass was stolen, and the Rockets' new starter, Beverley, known for his fierce defense, and dare to fight, is not afraid of physical confrontation, and he is currently squeezing out Jeremy Lin's starter. Rockets wave of fast break, James. Harden Europe steps to the basket.
Kobe Bryant is very fast, his current speed is much faster than the original plane, and Harden is not on the same level as him.
The ball on the 24th is well defended and the blocking is also in place, and Harden can only do it visually, and the chances of defending it are ......
Just thinking about it, the referee blew a whistle, and the Lakers' No. 24 defensive foul.
Tang Qian saw it clearly, this is that Harden can't break through Kobe's defense, so he plays tricks and uses the rules to play the "porcelain Dafa". Kobe Bryant is a person like him, he doesn't have that kind of scheming, and he won't turn his back and shrink his body, and he will defend against Harden, and it is easy to be "touched" by the latter and eat a defensive foul.
Harden and Howard gave a high-five, then stepped up to the free throw line to make a free throw.
"Bryant, it's okay, let's ...... next ball Well??? Before Tang Qian finished speaking, he found that the momentum of No. 24 around him had changed, and he suddenly stepped into the "Super God" from "The.Zone"!
I'll go! Don't be so exaggerated!
Once ESPN's famous mouthpiece Skip. Kobe Bryant, like Jordan, is the kind of player who will take the opponent's blows, humiliation, and trash talk as an energy pack. You're mad in front of the pinnacle version of them, and there's basically only one death. For example, Kobe Bryant once did a very "middle two" thing, because the last matchup was limited by Iguodala, the data is average, before the next game starts, he actually went directly into the locker room of the Philadelphia 76ers, yes, it is the opponent's locker room, and then went to Iguodala. Iguodala wasn't in the locker room at the time, Kobe Bryant pounced and then you know what the 24th does? He dropped a sentence very bluntly and told Andre, I want to score 50 points in this game!
After saying that, he turned around and left.
In the end, Kobe Bryant shot 19 of 29, 7 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 48 points, as for why he didn't score 50 points, the reason is simple, he entered garbage time too early, so he didn't have a chance. Otherwise, that game is estimated to be another 60+ game with Kobe's feel. The match took place in the 2005-2006 season, and Iguodala himself broke out, and there is no doubt about the authenticity.
So, you know what kind of personality Kobe Bryant is and what kind of player he is, right?
Harden is doing him like this, and the recent public opinion has made Kobe Bryant unhappy, if it is still the 13-14 season of the original time and space, forget it, now ...... I'm going and I'm going to hurry for James. The little prince of Harden's nightclub prayed silently.
This game is amazing.
Kobe Bryant entered the "The.Zone" before the game and was ready to teach a little lesson to the first quartile in the league, but now it's good, you "touch porcelain" and directly touch the "super god". Alas, young people really have to learn to be restrained.
Tang Qian also happened to want to see how strong the real peak super god Kobe Bryant was.
After all, Kobe Bryant's strongest years, he was too young to understand the true meaning of so much basketball.
Although Tang Qian was ready, this ball still made his eyes almost fall off.
Bang bang ~
Kobe Bryant didn't even ask for Steve. Blake dribbled the ball and ran straight to the front court from the backcourt.
He didn't even think about it, so he yelled at James. Harden ran over.
This guy is really too foul-tempered, a player in the new era, but there are not many stars with this character.
Harden also seemed to know that Kobe Bryant would do this, but he was not too scared because he felt that he had grown up after so many years. AND HIS STRENGTH AND TONNAGE ARE THE TOP IN THE QUARTILE, 196CM220 POUNDS, WHICH IS DEFINITELY THE BIG GUY IN THE NO. 2 POSITION. But soon, he was going to be disappointed, because Bryant was angered by the ball he just played.
"Bryant dribbled at the three-point line on the right side, Harden half-squatted defensively, didn't want to block and dismantle, is Bryant going to play hard? Breakthrough, Bryant broke through, the speed was fast, Harden didn't follow, half a body, a body, Kobe jumped! oh~yes~ not only made a successful layup in the confrontation, but also caused the opponent James. Harden has a personal foul! "In Bill. In McDonald's commentary, Kobe Bryant scored a successful goal, and No. 24 stood on the free throw line, brushed, and hit the free throw steadily!
3-2。
The Rockets attack, Beverley is actually a pseudo-No. 1 position, his most offensive end is over the half, his independent offensive ability is extremely poor, there is no vacancy and feeding, and his three-point shot can't be played. But this kind of 3-and-D player is the current trend in the league, and many teams prefer this kind of person. It's cheap, it's not expensive.
He passed the ball to Harden, and the Rockets No. 13 was about to observe the halftime situation, and when he landed, a black shadow, like kraft candy, stuck directly to it.
Harden was startled and hurriedly protected the ball, if he hadn't reacted quickly, the ball would probably have been stabbed directly.
What the? Defend so hard at the beginning? Do you think you're still Kobe Bryant in the '09-10 season?
It's no wonder that Harden doesn't have knowledge, because when he entered the league, he only played against Kobe Bryant in the 09-10 season, the real pinnacle Kobe, he only watched it on TV and on the computer. And Kobe Bryant in the 09-10 season? Although it is still a burst of one defense + FMVP, those who really watch the game will understand that this has slipped a lot compared to his peak. Not to mention the most terrible 05-06 season, compared to the 07-08 season, it has fallen a lot, but compared to other players, it is still excellent.
To put it simply, dominance is being lost.
Although the defensive ability is still a defense, it is only a defense with 80 points, which is far from the previous defense ability that was close to a full score.
Harden was ready to use his power to block Kobe Bryant and then create space to break through, but after 2 hits, he was a little surprised.
This old man, why can't he stand it?
Team 13 of the Rockets has always been confident in their tonnage and strength, and there are almost no opponents in the league.
The only person who can compete with him in tonnage is Miami's Dwyane. Wade, Kobe? He hasn't played against the "Pony Young" period, and certainly doesn't feel that the Lakers' No. 24 is on the same level as him in this regard.
220 pounds? Kobe Bryant's "Little Malone" period was more than 230+ pounds, and he was even stronger than Harden! You play with him like this, there is no good fruit to eat! No way, Kobe Bryant already has a fixed image in Harden's mind, that is, Kobe Bryant at the beginning of the 09-10 season, this is Kobe Bryant who has gone through the complete technical flow, and his body has long taken a back seat.
But now, Kobe Bryant is simply fighting with him, punching to the flesh, and not playing false!
230+ pounds of weight strength + defensive ability, athleticism, physical agility in the peak era, Harden felt for the first time the pain of not being able to break through! This kind of kraft candy defense, in the early and middle stages of Kobe's career, appeared frequently, and the effect of defending the ball carrier was huge, but the consumption of physical energy was really too large, so in the later stage, it became more and more rare, and only important offensive and defensive rounds would occasionally have a flash of inspiration.
The new stars after 08 basically have no chance to learn.
Harden is one of them, and it is the first time that he has put such a terrifying pressure on the defense.
Several dribbling breakthroughs were blocked, and the footsteps of the 24th were simply amazing.
Even in 2016, Kobe Bryant still has such an awareness, and the classic shot of the offensive and defensive rounds with James is an example, the defensive steps are almost exaggerated, which is pleasing to the eye and amazing. But at that time, he already had to force an explosion to support a round, and his speed and speed, physical strength and physical strength were all countless distances away from his peak.
Now, there is no such problem at all, coupled with the desire to win in the last season, Tang Qian is afraid that he will compete with him for DPOY.
"Harden was completely blocked by Kobe Bryant outside the three-point line, Harden tried several times without success, whether it was left or right, he was all under the calculation of the Black Mamba! oh~ The ball is broken! Bryant. Bryant directly steals Harden, and then dribbles and dunks alone! It's a great matchup! Black Mamba, 1 to 0! ”
5-2。
Harden felt a little unhappy, he looked at Kobe Bryant, and thought to himself, you actually scolded me like this? I'll see how long you can fight like this! When you run out of energy, I'll beat you up! Team Rocket No. 13 thought so, but things didn't go as he wanted. Under Kobe's strict defense, he only shot once in half a quarter, and he still missed a three-point shot. And what about the Lakers? Under the leadership of Kobe, this group of mercenaries, they can't play against the wind, but they can still play the tailwind, because the NBA is the highest basketball hall after all, and the players who can come in, who can't play the tailwind?
Kobe Bryant scored 20 points, 2 steals and 4 assists in a single quarter, and Tang Qian got 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block. Blake scored five points against Jordan. Hill scored 2 points. The Lakers scored 34 points in a single quarter, but what about the Rockets? Only a pitiful 12 points were credited. As for why Tang Qian's rebounds are so few, this is mainly because there were no rebounds to grab in the first quarter.
On the offensive end, Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage is very high, and the rest of the people are not low, and on the defensive end, Kobe suppresses Harden very hard, so that many balls at the three-point line are not able to enter, so how can he get rebounds? The Rockets' No. 12 was even worse than him, with 0 points, 0 rebounds and 1 block. Johnson sent a cap, and the single-section data was almost completely zeroed.
Kevin. McHale reprimanded Harden during the break, telling him to stop fighting with Kobe Bryant, pass more, run more, and play more off-ball cuts. This makes James. Harden listened, feeling extremely uncomfortable, which was equivalent to saying in disguise, hey, you are not as good as Kobe, or a 35-year-old Kobe.
I'm one of the top four stars in the league this season selected by ESPN, I'm in the first quartile, isn't it as good as a "bad old man" who has broken his Achilles tendon??? Harden was a little angry, but for the sake of the head coach's face, he didn't say it directly.
Because McHale is not only a coach, but also a legend, and his achievements are much greater than himself, Harden can't make a mistake.
"In the second quarter, the main attack was Howard, the main attack was inside, and the direct and Kobe Bryant were less stubborn! The 24th is in good shape tonight, and there is no need to force a confrontation. Hearing the head coach call his name, Howard was shocked, and he promised: "Don't worry, Mr. McHale, I will complete the task you have assigned." ”
In the second quarter, Howard did play a role, chopping melons and vegetables on the inside, beating the Lakers inside, full of devastation.
The reason for this is that the two sides entered the bench rotation period, during which the leading teams usually let their main players rest more to prepare for the second half of the battle. It's hard to say about the backward team, sometimes they use substitutes to play more, and sometimes in order to chase points and narrow the gap, they will use the main force to grab more points, take advantage of the position, and make more money back.
Tang Qian's physical fitness is basically about 35 minutes in the regular season, so in the second quarter, while the game has not yet entered the white heat, he must rest more, and he has no way to do this. Otherwise, if you don't have enough physical strength, the power behind will be greatly reduced. And the problem is that the Lakers now, there is no one to replace Don Qian, and Carman, the big man who was supposed to join the team, also joined the Magic because of Howard's "deliberate delay", which made the Lakers' bench depth, especially the interior bench depth, plummet.
The only one who can play on the inside line is rookie Wren. Kelly and Robert. Thackeray, and these two great gods, if you don't say it, you basically don't have to count on it. Against pure substitutions are not necessarily good against Dwight. Howard...... The miserable end can be imagined.
Kobe Bryant also rested off the court, a regular season, he didn't need to play the whole game, and he led the Rockets by 22 points in the first quarter, which was already considered a "spending". If you go on the field to score again, it is easy to be perceived as a provocation and provoke the opponent's rough response.
But during the period when No. 24 and No. 29 were off the court, Howard of the Rockets scored 20 points in a single quarter, along with 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and with a shooting rate of more than 75%, he hit the Lakers inside and almost disintegrated. Seeing this, Kobe Bryant couldn't sit still at first, he stood up and Mike. D'Antoni requested: "Next time the ball is dead, replace me." ”
D'Antoni was still hesitating, but the Rockets took the opportunity to hit another three-pointer, and the score difference had been chased to only 5 points. Seeing this, he immediately made up his mind and arranged a replacement. But he didn't let Tang Qian play, he also saw that Tang Qian's effective use time was less than 35 minutes, and he only needed to bite the score at halftime, and he was not overtaken by the opponent, even if he was basically satisfied.
After all, in basketball, the game is not played in 2 quarters, but in 4 quarters.
When Kobe Bryant had 4 minutes and 30 seconds left in the second quarter, he re-entered the court and looked at the score, which is currently 38-33, compared to the first quarter, it took 7 and a half minutes to score 4 points and score 2 goals. This kind of firepower, this kind of hit rate, can only be described as miserable.
The current lineup of the Lakers on the court is, PG Famar, SG Kobe, SF Wesley. Johnson PF Rennes. Kelly Ronaldo Porter. Thackeray. This lineup, in addition to Kobe, the most expensive is Jordan. Famar, with an annual salary of 1.11 million, and none of the rest have more than one million. On the Rockets' side, except for Harden, Howard + Asik + Jeremy Lin + Parsons + Beverley, the head coach of the Rockets has a habit, he likes the 8-man rotation very much, so it also laid the groundwork for the Rockets' lack of momentum in the future playoffs.
However, judging from the scene, this lineup is going to beat the Lakers.
In McHale's eyes, he was replaced by a Kobe Bryant, and it was just Mike. D'Antoni is prepared to stall for time and hold on to the score difference, and will not be ambitious.
He guessed correctly, but he didn't guess Kobe's mind.
"Kobe, I'm going to decide this game! Just guard your wrecked ship and sink it! Howard said sarcastically after Kobe Bryant came up. And this, seeing Tang Qian's head, everyone is "super god", you still stimulate him so much? Give him an energy pack and energy soup? What are you if you don't have a sick brain?
Kobe Bryant turned his head and didn't say a word, but he could see that in his eyes, there was something like a poisonous blade.
Flickering and flickering.
The Lakers got the ball, Kobe Bryant looked at this group of teammates who had little fighting spirit, as if he remembered the years when he had just led the team solo, needless to say, those years were painful memories.
Kobe Bryant knows how this kind of teammate should bring, and turn the reverse game into a smooth game, then it will work, they are not good to play against the wind, and the downwind ball is still okay. So, this ball, he wants to play big.
The pinnacle of all attributes? Then let me see what my strongest body can do.
Rennes. Kelly wanted to get close and come up to block the demolition, but was standing at the top arc by No. 24, refused, and said with a gesture:
Block anything, honestly pull me away, don't get in the way for me.
Rennes. Kelly, a player who has a bit of an outside basket and can shoot three-pointers, is so soft that he can't do it, he has empty height, and the quality of his blocking and dismantling is extremely low.
Peak Kobe, but Malone doesn't want to block and dismantle, let alone Wren. Kelly?
In the preseason training camp, Kobe Bryant had no good impression of this player, and asserted that he was a soy sauce role in the NBA, a water cooler caretaker, and he couldn't mix it for long. You gave No. 24 this impression, it's hard to say anything else, the Lakers you can't get mixed up.
Jeremy Lin was originally going to defend Kobe, but was taken the lead by Beverley and "robbed" him, it seems that Beverley is also an ambitious master, and he wants to make himself more famous and stable in the league by containing the old Kobe.
Of course, the main thing is that Beverley has confidence in his defense.
In the 13-14 season, he was indeed selected to the second team of the NBA's All-Defensive Team, but ...... This is in front of the peak Kobe, it should be said that it is super peak Kobe, is it useful? What's more, the latter is now in a state of "super god".
"Kobe Bryant faces Beverley, what will he do? Is it a triple threat breakthrough or a force-pull projection? "Bill. What McDonald said is Kobe's main way of playing in recent years, because of the decline in physical condition, some of the explosive methods in the early years were all sealed by Kobe at the bottom of his "arsenal".
"~Come on~ Kobe, let me see how much energy you have left?" Beverley really died, thinking that he could bully the 35-year-old "old man" with a ruptured Achilles tendon, but he never thought that he would soon become a member of the top 10 of the week.
A member of the background.
"Bryant dribbled the ball at the top arc, he moved, oh~my~ Kobe. Bryant made a near-perfect big crossover!! It's a perfect crossover that I haven't seen in a long time!! Beverly was completely cleaned, like a kid who got lost on the road in the early morning!! ”
In the commentary of the Lakers' on-site commentator, Kobe Bryant went directly to the interior and then prepared to attack the basket.
"Bryant! You kind of challenge me directly! See if I don't turn you over!! Howard moved sideways into the basket and shouted a defiant shout at the Lakers' No. 24. It's a tactic that makes the opponent's brain hot, attacking himself, and at the same time being confident.
Confidence in your ability to protect the basket.
Alas, idiot, the current Kobe Bryant, if you don't have a super god, you can blow you up, let alone a super god.
Tang watched from the sidelines and did not doubt that Kobe Bryant would score this goal.
It's just the way the number 24 scored a goal, which still scared him!
Kobe Bryant took advantage of the crossover's rapidity, stepped into the inside line, stretched his feet, bounced, and then ...... Fly straight towards the Rockets' basket and just force it on!
It's too strong, after all, it's Dwight who weighs more than 280+ pounds. Howard.
For Howard's defense, Tang Qian actually never doubted it, well, although it was not as good as himself.
"Bryant wasn't intimidated by Howard! He still charged! He stepped over the free throw line! He's jumping! This ball is explosive, Kobe Bryant is ready to make a tough layup! oh! No! Kobe Bryant didn't choose to go to the basket! He chose to dunk! It's a dunk!! ”
The peak Kobe Bryant's explosive speed is definitely not covered, and it is definitely not lost, Howard didn't expect Kobe to dare to be so "messy", a stunned kung fu, he has lost the best starting time.
And, in the next second, a huge black shadow shrouded Howard's head.
Bang Dang!
"Kobe! Bryant! He dunked!! He directly forcibly detained Dwight. Howard!!! ”
"The 35-year-old Kobe Bryant slammed Dwight head-on. Howard!!! ”
"This ball, incredible!!"
However, this game, the wonderful place, is far from coming.
Howard will remember this game vividly.
Just like in Orlando.
PS: The excitement has just begun, what will Kobe Bryant and Donkey do? Let's wait and see~
Before posting, the leader of the Gong Burning Alliance gave Xiao Zi another 10,000 reward, it was really tearful, alas, but it was difficult for Xiao Zi, slow down tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will explode and pay it off~ hehe~
