Chapter 294: Against the Black Mamba
After a timeout, the two sides returned to the field again.
With 2:42 left in the first quarter, the score was 32:30 and the Trail Blazers trailed by two points.
The Lakers didn't make much adjustments, after all, they currently have the advantage on the court, and in terms of position, Gasol is also in the state of taking and demanding.
The Trailblazers possessed the ball, Xue Ding dribbled unhurriedly over the half, according to the previous rhythm, this will take over the game, but just now the coach kept instructing to be stable, this game can not be rushed, the battle for the inside line has not yet reached the final result, and all the rhythm must be determined according to the results of the inside line.
Xue Ding had no choice but to be patient, and after dribbling over half the court, he continued to cooperate with Ade to block and dismantle, and successfully attracted Bynum's supplementary defense, Xue Ding had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
As soon as Bynum came out, Xue Ding passed the ball to Ade as soon as possible, and after Ade received the ball, he rushed straight to the basket with great power.
Gasol had to quickly come over to make up for the defense, facing Ade, although he was at a disadvantage in strength, but with the flexibility of his height and arm span, Gasol was very confident in himself.
Who knew that the menacing Ade, as soon as he saw Gasol rushing over, he threw the ball directly to the basket, Gasol subconsciously intercepted it, to no avail, Chandler easily jumped high, and the air relay dunked his hand.
A nice inside pass fit.
Next, the Lakers' offense, the old fish is still the same, and he will go directly to Gasol after halftime.
Gasol quickly turned around after receiving the ball, only to find that Chandler followed directly, and this mid-range shot was so comfortable that he couldn't shoot, but the dribble broke through and walked with the same effect.
However, Chandra's performance was completely different from before, and he had been tightly defending, with the obvious intention of putting pressure on Gasol and preventing him from breaking through and turning so easily.
Xue Ding was happy when he saw it, Chandra was going to guard the inside line before, so in order to perform this task well, no matter how cool Gasol was outside, he resolutely did not come out easily.
It's okay now, don't dare to defend the inside line, it's a strategy, and it's just rushing up directly.
Not to mention, the effect was still very good, and the sudden pressing disrupted Gasol's rhythm, so he had to take two steps back and adjust.
Chandler still followed fearlessly, completely forgetting that after being attracted to a high position by Gasol before, he was constantly broken through one button at a time.
"Bryant, you can't help it for a long time, you need to play soon, because our inside line is about to blow up your twin towers"
Xue Ding began to stimulate Kobe Bryant.
"Hey, Xue, I'm more interested in blowing you up"
Kobe Bryant responded arrogantly.
"Bryant, I'm embarrassed to say this to you, I'm afraid you can't stand it"
Xue Ding said with a very cheap smile, Kobe Bryant couldn't help laughing because of his confident appearance, I don't know if he was really amused or laughed at, anyway, he looked at Xue Ding with a smile and was speechless.
Xue Ding knew that it would be okay to have this effect, after all, everyone didn't have any hatred, just added fuel and vinegar to promote it according to the form on the field.
The reason for this is very simple, for a team boss like Kobe Bryant who has a very strong desire to attack, if it weren't for a meritorious coach of the level of Zen Master guarding him, such a slow grinding inside line, Kobe would have rushed up to take over the game.
But the country is easy to change, the personality is difficult, Xue Ding knows that a game is going to end, and Kobe Bryant has not had a chance to touch the ball to attack of his own, and he can't hold it back in his heart.
At this time, a little stimulation is enough.
When the two stimulated each other, Gasol finally got rid of Chandler with an accelerated change of direction, who knew that he was not ready to start, Ade was already blocked in front of him, and hurriedly subconsciously looked for Bynum, the good guy was stuck with Chandler.
Is the change of guard so timely? Gasol was a little confused, but the form on the court could not be thought about, this time the offensive time was only four seconds, and he continued to move his feet, shaking left and right, but Ade was unmoved, and the last right hooker hurriedly shot and was covered by the basket.
Ade directly got off this low board in seconds, and turned around with a long pass to Xue Ding.
However, Kobe Bryant has already prevented this move, and it seems that he has studied the Trail Blazers' style of play before the match.
"Xue, you have always been the initiator and endpoint of the Trail Blazers' defensive counterattack, but it won't work for me today"
Kobe Bryant stepped back again and again, shaking his finger and provocatively.
"Bryant, if you weren't so handsome, my basketball would have smashed on you"
Xue Ding responded to Kobe's provocation while dribbling.
Kobe Bryant obviously didn't expect Xue Dingdu to respond so naughty, his black face turned a little red, but the movements in his hands were not relaxed at all.
If the fast attack can't be completed, then there will only be a positional battle.
Xue Ding looked at Kobe's defensive posture, the center of gravity was very low, and the distance of half a step was clearly about to go head-to-head with him, and at this moment, the fans at home were also shouting Xue Ding's name excitedly.
In the past, when Huang Mamba played against Black Mamba, it was the time when the fans' blood was the most boiling, but now when they are most excited, they unconsciously become violent Xue vs. Black Mamba.
Everyone didn't expect this moment to come, at least they didn't expect it to come so early, and Xue Ding didn't expect that he was still honestly taking the ball to find the inside line according to the coach's tactical arrangement.
In the face of the fans' voices, Xue Ding also knew that if he had to talk about the coach's tactics at this time, then he would not use the title of Overlord Xue in the future, so let's do it.
Xue Ding continued to dribble under his crotch, constantly moving left and right, testing Kobe's reaction, Kobe Bryant directly stuck a strong side, and then approached the center of Xue Ding's center of gravity.
This action looks very simple, and the fans don't feel too much when they look at it, but Xue Ding, who is the ball holder, instantly feels the power.
Crotch dribbling whether it is left or right, the axis is in the middle, the principle is through the shaking of the left and right, drive the opponent's center of gravity to produce offset, but their center of gravity has been stable, as long as the opponent's center of gravity is deviated, immediately start in the opposite direction, instantly get rid of the opponent.
Kobe, as a top breakthrough player, is also deeply aware of this, so as soon as he came up, he first pretended to be a strong side to prevent Xue Ding from breaking through, and then quickly stuck in the pivot position, trying to disrupt Xue Ding's dribbling rhythm.
Xue Ding knew that Kobe Bryant was not so easy to deal with, so he had been prepared for a long time.
Continuous crotch dribbling, quickly followed two step-back steps, and instantly cracked Kobe's pressing.
The entire offense and defense were completed instantly, and if it weren't for the big screen, fans wouldn't have been able to appreciate that the two had invisibly exchanged hands.
