Chapter 165: Imitating Carter (2/3)
Kobe Bryant felt as if he had suddenly become a multimillion-dollar player a year...... After he passed the ball a few times, Zhou Yang didn't pass the ball to him.
Kidd didn't expect Zhou Yang to come over to defend himself, but at this time he was ready to shoot three points! When he jumped and shot, Zhou Yang faced Kidd and was a big hot pot! In the exclamation of the scene, Zhou Yang rushed through the half court and scored a layup directly!
Jackson also celebrated this defensive success with the assistant coaches around him at this time! New Jersey is starting to get more and more cautious! Although the Lakers previously gave the impression that the ball didn't work so well, they are still good in terms of players.
And since the start of the game, they have also seen the strength and changes of the opponent in the attack! Kobe Bryant started passing! And unless the big shark can dodge his defense, it will still be difficult to attack and score in front of him!
Frank has gone from being relaxed at the beginning to now worrying about the Lakers team. Their team still has to fight hard with the West! This season, their comprehensive combat power is still very strong!
The team has Kidd in the presence and feels half the battle! He didn't dare to slack off in this game. If they can beat the Cavaliers, Heat and Pistons in the East, the Nets may still be able to reach the Finals!
At this time, the black mamba crossed his hands on his hips and watched Zhou Yang, O'Neill and Fisher high-five. I feel very unhappy! When looking at Zhou Yang, the other party also seemed to feel that Kobe Bryant was starting to become a little bad at this time.
......
"The first quarter was good, but Kobe Bryant's pass doesn't mean he won't attack, as a very good scoring point in the team, you have to pass the ball when the opponent has a chance, isn't it the same as picking up points?"
Bryant didn't speak, but he still felt comfortable hearing the Zen master say this. That's one of the reasons why Zen masters are going to be very angry this season. Do Kobe Bryant and O'Neal receive less attention in a season?
At this time, although Kobe and Phil have certain contradictions, when everyone passes the ball to Kobe Bryant, Jackson is still willing to stand up and speak for Kobe! So when it came time to quarrel, Kobe Bryant had no reason to quarrel with his coach.
"Zhou Yang also played very well, as a consideration for the whole game, you go down to rest first. Our main task in Section 2. Listen, it's about overtaking the Nets! The opponent's operation, rebounding and individual combat ability are very strong! You have to pay extra attention to this ...... during the game."
27:23! The Nets now show that they hold the lead.
It's rare for Lakers players to hear Jackson lay out his play. So everyone listened very carefully from the sidelines. The next game revolves around O'Neal and Kobe! Fisher passes the ball when he is free! Meme and Cook do their job defensively!
Bryant's transformation made Phil have a lot of thoughts in his mind. For example, the question of how to play the team in the future. As long as Kobe Bryant can make changes this season, even if there is no Zhou Yang, the Lakers will still fight hard with teams like the Spurs, Suns, Mavericks, and Grizzlies!
Maybe the Lakers' competitiveness is really back this season! The Nets came back in the second quarter to replace Robinson and Vaughn with Collins and Zoran. Carter and Kidd remained on the court.
The attitude of the New Jersey Nets is clear, that is, to find a way to win against the Lakers in this game!
The team will have Carter, Kidd and Zolan score quickly in this quarter! For the Nets, they can now not only assign corresponding offensive tasks to them at the center, but also immediately run all over the court with small-ball tactics like the Suns, and pass the ball all over the court!
That's where New Jersey comes in right now! Not only that, but they also have a super buckle Carter!
After returning to the Lakers' side, Meme, Cook replaces Young and Walton next week. At this time, the two teams seem to be entering the playoffs, and the strength of the lineup at both ends is very high!
Zoran dribbled to the frontcourt, Carter got his pass and suddenly jumped up to see O'Neal rush over and pull the lever in the air to complete the score! Not all players are afraid of O'Neal!
Carter, for example, is one of them. Just now, in order to avoid proving rigid, I immediately changed my playing style. If it's really hard to get over, it's going to hurt anyone. In the face of Ao Fat's provocation, Carter did not reply anything.
He knew Shaq's strength, but he also knew his own. At the moment, Kobe Bryant will be a tricky player on the defensive end!
Bryant carried the ball to the frontcourt, and this game made him feel conflicted. What to pass the ball to your teammates and then everyone plays and trusts each other...... The ball is passed, what about trust? Since Jackson also said that he and Ao Fat will be the main attackers, there is nothing to say, just a three-point shot!!
"You want to guard me too? Let's practice for another two years. Maybe I'll admit you're just qualified to play in the NBA," Kobe Bryant said casually, as he remembered defending him.
"If I'm a college student, do you need parents to pick you up every time you come here?" Kidd would have laughed out loud after he had finished speaking. Picking up his teammate Kostic just passed by a "poof" laugh.
"I'll show you guys who needs a parent pick-up! Maybe you need a doctor's pick-up," Bryant said disdainfully and ran away.
Zoran got the ball and immediately hit the ground and passed to Kostic, who jumped straight into the net after pulling out the gap on the outside! Once the Nets started running all over the court, Mime was a little overwhelmed.
At this time, if Zhou Yang was present, maybe the situation would be better. But Zhou Yang's physical confrontation is not good, and Mime's speed can't keep up......
Bryant continued to hold the ball, and Kidd significantly stepped up his defense! Then it was very slow, and he forced a two-point shot, and the ball came to Carter! Kidd ran two steps and got the basketball, and before Kobe could catch up, he rushed to the front court and passed the ball to Kostic, who scored with both hands for a dunk! 33:26!
Fisher dribbled the ball across the half court and chose to shoot himself under O'Neal and Kobe's ball! Three points directly smash the basket to score!! The Lakers bench exploded immediately after seeing it!
The cheers of the audience also rose. With Carter missing three points, O'Neal got the rebound and passed the ball to Kobe, who came to the front court and hit a three-point shot directly! 33:32! The other side Frank is about to ask for a timeout!
"Kobe's words Carter and Kidd are going to the bag, and it's best to keep two people following Kobe! And then Collins also has to pay attention to the past to help defend at all times. Fisher's words are good, except for Kobe and O'Neal, the other players are still not very strong in scoring ability......"
In the second quarter of the game, Lakers fans saw the long-lost "OK combination"! Although the two are not very connected now, Kobe's offensive ability has come out. And the teammates are also playing okay. O'Neill is also very intimidating on the field!
After the timeout, the Nets lineup remained unchanged, and the Lakers replaced Mime with Odom. After Kidd held the ball through half court, he used his rhythm to shake off Kobe Bryant and rushed directly inside to throw and score!
......
Later in the second quarter, the Nets began to focus on small-ball tactics! Their movement speed and offensive and defensive switching speed are fast! The Lakers have suffered several losses in a row! The final score went into the third quarter with 60:51.
The first half of the game still made the Zen master feel a little bad. It is not easy for the other party to maintain such combat strength and achievements. O'Neal and Kobe Bryant played at the same time and did not turn the situation around, and it is estimated that there was a problem in coordination.
"Now you can see the other party, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant can't play anything. On the contrary, our cooperation and speed make the Lakers unable to keep up with our rhythm! In the third quarter, it was enough to chase after the victory and try to stretch the difference to more than 10 points......"
The head coach of the Nets said seriously at this time.
"The team can pick up the speed. But remember to chase the other person to fight. In this case, the team immediately falls into passivity. So, if you can't guarantee this speed when you want to play speed, you can reduce the speed immediately......"
The Zen master was still a little uncertain at this time. The third quarter of the game got some young players up. If the opponent's defensive efficiency comes up, the Lakers will basically be explained. But if you don't play like this, you can't seem to win against the Nets......
The Nets' lineup that came back in the third quarter was Collins, Robinson, Carter, Vaughn, and Zoran. On the Lakers' side are Odom, Zhou Yang, Cook, Vujacic and Wharton!
The Nets feel a lot more relaxed when they see a lineup like the Lakers! Although Odom is good overall, he now looks like an excellent blue-collar player, and there is no problem in beating Zhou Yang with Carter's physical fitness!
Neither Fisher nor Kobe Bryant were present. I don't know such a lineup, and I think the Lakers are about to give up~ Vaughn held the ball for half of the court, and hit a 2-point jumper after passing the opponent directly at Wharton! 62:51!
Cook serves to Zhou Yang. New Jersey immediately noticed it here, and as he thought, Carter immediately came over to guard against Zhou Yang! Zhou Yang saw Carter coming over in the front court, and took a step back and almost returned to the line!
"Don't be afraid, I'll try not to hurt you~" Carter said to Zhou Yang with a grin.
"I'm afraid of hurting you," Zhou Yang's voice suddenly accelerated, and he passed Carter directly!! Some fans at the scene gasped directly!
But then the Lakers fans let out a lot of exclamations! After Mu had enough strength to pass the star Carter, Zhou Yang did not rush to the basket to score! Instead, he passed the ball to Vujacic after attracting two other defenders! In the case of no defense, Vujacic hit a direct three-point shot!
Vujasic is about to be moved to tears! To be honest, he is only 1 year older than Zhou Yang, and he still feels quite difficult to mix with the Lakers! Several defenders in the team are not inferior to Vujacic in terms of experience and combat power.
And now that Kobe Bryant is back, his playing time will immediately decrease. With such a 10-point playing time, Vujacic is now too difficult for him to get points!
Forcing it to play is likely to leave a more exclusive impression on head coach Jackson. But if you don't do this, you really won't get points!! Fortunately, no matter what tactics Zhou Yang has in the game, he can always find himself in the crowd!!
"This three-point shot is so thirst-quenching!" Zhou Yang ran over and immediately said to Vujasic.
"Thank you," Vujacic didn't say anything after holding back for a long time. Now is the right time for Zhou Yang's passing!
The Nets also began to get serious after seeing Zhou Yang's performance like this from the Lakers. After Carter got the basketball, he rushed to the front court, and under the three-person defense, he got up and remembered the strong dunk!! His offense also drove the fans crazy!
Soon after the camera was given to Carter, it was given to Kobe.
"Wait for my pass at any time!" Zhou Yang suddenly said to his teammates. It's not the first time that the fans at the scene have seen Zhou Yang organize the team! After he suddenly raised his right hand, the atmosphere on the scene also rose a little!
Carter ran to the basket and waited for Zhou Yang or other players to attack so that he could get a blood cap! The Lakers' players are ready too! Odom and Collins were entangled there. He thought that Zhou Yang should pass it on to himself this time!
Just after the players of the Nets and Lakers shrank a little, Zhou Yang suddenly jumped up at Robinson and threw the ball! Three points through the net!!
"Nowitzki's skill is so good! And Odom's skill is exactly two feelings! Zhou Yang thought excitedly after casting! At this time, the opposing players and teammates were confused...... What about the passes? Zhou Yang, you deceived 9 people at once......
"This kid expected everyone to be wary of him, haha!" Vincent said with a smile when he saw this.
"Fun and fun! Zhou Yang, this guy can disrupt the rhythm of the other party! The Zen master looked at the game with bright eyes at this time. Although Zhou Yang still needs to train to make up for it slowly, he can try to use his advantages to play in the game! There were fewer dark clouds in Phil's heart just now!
If the Lakers want to play like this, there will be a play!
Frank was there in deep thought. The Lakers, Zhou Yang, can get the first place in the rookie scoring list for a long time, it seems that he is indeed quite powerful!
Carter took the initiative to find Zhou Yang after asking for the ball, and Zhou Yang was not ambiguous when he saw Carter coming. I immediately went over and saw that Carter did not chase after accelerating, but turned his body 180 degrees and ran over!
"It's still too tender~ You're special!!" Carter laughed in his heart at this time, and when he jumped up, he realized why Zhou Yang didn't chase it! In the air, Zhou Yang directly touched the ball in Carter's hand!
As a result, Carter obviously felt that the basketball could not be retracted after moving in his hand! After the basketball was dunked hard, Cook ran two steps and immediately rushed over after getting the rebound!
Vujacic got the basketball first! After making the three-point shooting posture, he immediately retracted the action and passed the ball to Zhou Yang's hands! In the process of moving quickly, he received a pass from Vujasic, and when both sides were a little confused, Zhou Yang imitated Carter's movements and dunked with one hand, but the basketball bounced out immediately......
Zhou Yang trotted a few steps to throw himself and grabbed the ball, and then jumped again to score......
64:59! The Nets' rhythm is all out of order...... Carter crossed his waist and looked at Zhou Yang.
"I tried your move just now, but it didn't work. Try it again next time~" Zhou Yang said casually after seeing Carter's somewhat unhappy look.
"This kid actually told me...... I really didn't know he was imitating me......" Carter was so angry that he covered his forehead with his right hand and turned away...... You can't compete with a first-grader......
