"Is this your true strength?" Kobe Bryant, who shot a three-point shot, was expressionless, he shook his head slightly, turned around and returned to visit, not glancing at Zhaoqiang who was standing in front of him, his expression was extremely contemptuous.

"What arrogance!" Zhaoqiang thought that he was unwilling to be humiliated, and shot back, "But it's just the beginning!" ”

Kobe snorted coldly and ran straight to the backcourt, Paul controlled the ball, Zhaoqiang pressed Kobe behind him, and tried to attack Kobe on the left rib!

Zhaoqiang attacked Kobe?

Paul hesitated, but finally passed the ball to Zhaoqiang, and then retreated to the weak side with the others, leaving enough space for Zhaoqiang to play alone!

"Yo? Singled me! Kobe Bryant obviously didn't expect Zhaoqiang to use such a simple and direct way to single-handedly beat himself, purely with the death of his body, without any technical content.

Kobe Bryant is obviously not afraid of Zhaoqiang, the strength of these two people is equal, Kobe Bryant used his body to resist Zhaoqiang to the death, so that Zhaoqiang failed to take a step forward, Zhaoqiang dribbled the ball, and was about to turn around and jump back, but he didn't want the ball to hit the ground, it was gone! From behind Zhaoqiang, he quietly stretched out a hand and intercepted the ball in his hand!

It's Derek Fisher!

Zhao Qiang thought that the other eight people on the court had opened up space for himself and Kobe's singles, so his eyes only looked at the basket, and he didn't want Fisher to sneak up from the bottom line, and as soon as he reached out, he cut off the ball from the unsuspecting Zhao Qiang!

After winning the ball, Fisher ran wildly! Kobe followed up, after losing the ball, Zhaoqiang stuck to Kobe Bryant, not to mention the offensive space, there was no space to connect the ball!

Fisher walked on the left side with the ball, and this position can clearly see the position of his teammates, and Kobe Bryant in the middle rushed up at a gallop, and at the same time opened his hand to ask for the ball! Fisher stopped the ball and was just about to pass to Kobe Bryant, who knew that Zhaoqiang's inseparable defense made Fisher hesitate! Got the ball back again!

"I'm definitely not going to give you any room to attack!" Zhao Qiang said secretly in his heart.

Kobe Bryant suddenly withdrew in the struggle with Zhaoqiang, and suddenly jumped backwards in the state of sprinting forward with all his strength, jumping to a half-step distance within the three-point line, and Zhaoqiang couldn't react and threw out half of Kobe's body, but it was this gap of only half a body that gave Kobe Bryant space to shoot, Fisher did not hesitate at all, and directly stuffed the ball to Kobe, Kobe raised the ball above his head, and the next moment, it was time to launch!

Seeing this, Zhaoqiang hurriedly braked! The powerful impact force made Zhaoqiang's sneakers rub against the floor with a violent noise, and it must be too late to retreat, Zhaoqiang used his perverted body control ability to stabilize his body as much as possible, and then jumped up as hard as he could! Prepare for the cap in the air!

As soon as Zhaoqiang's feet left the ground, he secretly said in his heart! Hit the trick!

Kobe Bryant didn't rush to shoot, but waited in place for Zhaoqiang to jump, and when Zhaoqiang's feet left the ground, Kobe suddenly put down the ball held high above his head, and dribbled the ball into the inside line after two steps! Hold up the basketball with both hands and initiate the violent dunk!

Zhaoqiang, who was flying in the air, watched Kobe Bryant pass by his side easily, scoring points, but he couldn't do anything, and then his ears were filled with the earth-shattering applause and shouts of the entire Staples fans.

After the dunk, Kobe Bryant walked gently in front of Zhaoqiang and said, "Boy, you're right, this is just the beginning." ”

Zhaoqiang gritted his teeth, but he was helpless, this Kobe Bryant was very cunning, the ball he dunked just now had nothing to do with physical fitness or anything, purely relying on the change of the rhythm of the court, Zhaoqiang felt a little powerful and nowhere to go.

Time passed quietly, 1.2 seconds before the end of the first half, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson arranged a wonderful three-point kill tactic, Kobe served out of bounds, Gasol, who was standing on the left rib, quickly dribbled to the three-point line for Kobe Bryant after receiving the ball, Kobe pretended to run to the top of the three-point line arc, but suddenly turned back, bypassed Gasol and ran to the bottom corner of the three-point line in the left corner, and Zhaoqiang, who was responsible for defending Kobe, was blocked by Gasol, Kobe was empty in front of Kobe, Gasol passed the ball in place, Kobe scored three points again!

Today's Kobe Bryant is not only outstanding in singles, but more importantly, he is able to use his teammates' cover to score and create opportunities for his teammates! That's how scary Kobe Bryant is!

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led 68:52, and Kobe Bryant shot 11 of 15 in the first half, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 31 points alone! Gasol quietly scored a quasi-double-double of 14 points and 9 rebounds inside, while the Hornets only Paul had a normal play, scoring 15 points and 9 assists on 7-of-9 shooting, Iverson scored 18 points, Thorton scored 12 points, and Zhaoqiang, who was pinned on by Hornets head coach Monty Williams, scored 2 points, 5 rebounds and 3 turnovers on 1-of-4 shooting in the first half.

In the second half, both sides invariably sent substitutes to give the main players more time to rest, the Lakers' No. 1 is Steve Blake, No. 2 Shannon Brown, No. 3 Matt Barnes, No. 4 Lamar Odom, No. 5 Ronnie Turiaf, while the Hornets' bench lineup is No. 1 Marcus Thorton, No. 2 Belinelli, No. 3 Trevor Ariza, No. 4 Blekins, No. 5 Emeka Okafor.

Among these people, it is obvious that Odom's ability is superior, he already has the strength of a fringe All-Star, and he is more than enough to play as a starter, let alone as a substitute, and he is still facing the rookie Brightins.

Odom is 208 cm tall, the standard No. 4 height, but his weight is only 104 kg, and his thin body makes him destined not to be a player who plays on the inside, in fact, he is a left-handed player, his style of play is comprehensive, and he was trained as a star when he was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in his early years, it is worth mentioning that Odom's first NBA game was 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and he won three triple-doubles in his rookie season. Later, due to the Clippers' acquisition of Elton Brand, Odom signed with the Miami Heat on a free basis, brought the team to the playoffs in the first season with Caron Butler, Eddie Jones and rookie Dwyane Wade, and was sent to the Lakers a year later in the trade for Big Shark O'Neal, in this team, in the three years that O'Neal left Kobe Bryant's single-hand, Odom was the only player on the team who could give substantial help to the Flyers, and then the Lakers robbed Pau Gasol, Odom's role changed from starter to bench, but he continued to perform well, helping the team win last year's championship, and not only that, but Odom also led the United States team to the final gold medal as captain at this year's World Championships in Turkey!

Odom on the court was agile and changeable, and he shook off the defending Breggins in just one step, then dribbled the ball with one step and glided in the air with his left hand and one-handed slam the dunk! Odom's performance won a round of applause!

The two sides compared the bench, the Lakers played more excitingly, Odom responded inside and outside, and from time to time came to a violent dunk, Blake and Barnes hit three points from the outside, in contrast, the Hornets' bench played more calmly, Okafor played steadily on the inside, three consecutive singles Turyaf scored, Thorton won the battle, and hit two three-pointers in the opening game, but the score difference was still not narrowed, and it has been maintained at about 15 points, six minutes after the third quarter, the two sides sent the main players!

Monty Williams hesitated in his heart, but still chose to let Zhaoqiang defend Kobe Bryant!

Zhao Qiang is not a well-behaved player, in the first half he was blown up by Kobe Bryant, to be honest, this is the worst time that Zhao Qiang has been beaten since he stepped into the basketball court to play against others, of course, Zhao Qiang will not care about the process, he only cares about the result, that is, to prevent Kobe, in the second half Zhao Qiang gradually increased his physical contact with Kobe, disrupting Kobe's offensive rhythm!

Kobe Bryant held the ball and hit Zhaoqiang with his back in the low post, the strength of the two people was comparable, Kobe couldn't push Zhaoqiang, Zhao Qiang keenly felt that Kobe was going to step back and jump, sure enough, Kobe made a move Garnett's signature move, shaking his shoulders left and right and stepping back to jump, Zhaoqiang had already taken precautions and jumped on the high ground and pounced, but Zhaoqiang made a small move.

When Zhao Qiang pounced, he didn't point to his body, but leaned sideways slightly, his right hand pounced on Kobe's shot, and his left hand hit Kobe's elbow, but Zhao Qiang's body completely blocked the referee's vision, and from the referee's point of view, Zhao Qiang's defense was no problem.

Kobe Bryant's shot was like a deflated ball, falling from mid-air, Paul grabbed the rebound and pushed it with both hands, and directly came with a big long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Iverson, who was fast, contributed a rare one-handed split!

This time the defense obviously angered Kobe, Kobe ignored Zhaoqiang, for him, Zhaoqiang is just a trick with a basic salary, Kobe Bryant walked straight to the referee and asked the referee for trouble, "Do you see it!" He's hitting me in the arm! Look at that shot, how could I throw such an air balloon......"

To be honest, this kind of complaining that the referee can accept more than ten per game, so no one will take it seriously, turn around and just prepare to leave, who knows that Kobe Bryant is unrelenting, an indecent word starting with "F" has just come out of his mouth, and it will be exchanged for a technical foul from the referee immediately!

Kobe gritted his teeth hatefully, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and it was only now that Kobe really glanced at Zhaoqiang.

Jackson quickly called a timeout to calm Kobe Bryant, and after the timeout, he played again, but Kobe, who was back on the court, had a grim expression on his face.

Paul hit two technical foul free throws, Iverson made free throws from the outside, and organized the offense! It was still a fixed tactic, West mentioned the free throw line block, Paul hit the box and threw the ball to West, who finally hit the shot, and West had already shot 0 of 6 from this position.

The Lakers, who came back from the timeout, still handed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe Bryant gradually increased physical contact in the confrontation with Zhaoqiang.

"Boy, do you think you can stop me with these little moves! You are so naïve! You're paying for it! ”

"Come on, then!" Zhao Qiang said categorically, but his eyes were fixed on the basketball that Kobe Bryant was playing back and forth.

Kobe Bryant's top of the arc shook continuously, and suddenly accelerated to the right to break through Zhaoqiang in the defense, Zhaoqiang was still tightly clinging to Kobe, not allowing the latter to have enough space to attack, and the physical contact between the two gradually increased, but at this moment, Kobe raised his left hand and elbowed, seemingly unintentionally slammed on Zhaoqiang's throat!

Zhao Qiang suddenly felt as if there was a charcoal fire burning in his throat! The painful feeling that the throat has been burned!

"Toot toot!" The referee blows the whistle in time.

Bryant was whistled for a foul, but it was just a normal foul.

Zhao Qiang bent over, covered his throat with both hands, opened his mouth wide, he couldn't breathe, he swallowed saliva into his throat, but to no avail, the pain was so painful that tears were about to fall! Seeing this, Monty Williams hurriedly sent Ariza to replace Zhaoqiang!

Zhaoqiang sat down on the bench, Marx handed over a bottle of Gatorade, Zhaoqiang's throat burned uncomfortably, and he took a big sip, but he couldn't swallow it, and spit it out again, all on the floor between Zhaoqiang's feet, and Marx immediately motioned to the caddie to come and wipe the floor.

After a long time, the situation has improved, it looks like a hard injury, it doesn't matter if it's a big deal, Zhaoqiang cleared his throat and let out a long sigh, at this time, Zhaoqiang suddenly thought of the picture of him elbowing He Jiang in the CUBA game, He Jiang's embarrassed expression at that time was no different from his current self!

Zhao Qiang's eyebrows were furrowed, his fists were clenched, and anyone could see the anger in his eyes! With his character, he does not allow anyone to humiliate himself, and if anyone dares to do so, then he will double down!

After Zhaoqiang left the court, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and Bai Xiaofei killed all sides on the inside, showing the results of his joint training with Yao Ming and Mutombo in Houston to the fullest! The left rib is a strong hit to Bynum! Iverson misses the shot, Bai Xiaofei makes up the dunk in the air through Gasol! He even hit a mid-range shot from the free throw line! On the defensive end, he first blocked Fisher's throw, and then blocked Bynum's hook hand who grabbed the rebound in the front court, and his dominance was undoubted!

At the end of the third quarter, the Hornets 88:98 were only 10 points behind the Lakers, and at the end of the third quarter, Bai Xiaofei, who scored 15 points in a single quarter, and other team members high-fived, but there was no Zhaoqiang in it, and when the others rested and sat down, Zhaoqiang, who was pale, pulled down the white towel on his head, stood up from the bench, slowly walked into Williams, and said to him, "Coach, I want to play!" ”

This is the first time that Zhaoqiang has taken the initiative to ask for a fight since he played!
