Chapter 120: Li Mojie's performance
"Mine." Markieff jumped to his feet and picked up the rebound, then paused for a moment to pass to Bledsoe.
Bledsoe quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, and I don't know if it was Kobe Bryant's ball just now that stimulated Li Mojie, after coming to the half, Li Mojie quickly took the ball from Bledsoe's hand, and did not signal his teammates to block and dismantle, dribbling the ball on the outside, that look is obviously going to be single.
"Come on, rookie!" Kobe said with a provocative smile excitedly.
"Here, 1v1 with Kobe, how many times did I encounter the scene in my dreams in my previous life!" Li Mojie roared secretly in his heart, but there was no fluctuation on his face.
"Oh! Li Mojie wants to play Kobe Bryant alone, this is not an easy challenge! Van Gundy exclaimed.
"Kobe, guard against that rookie on the other side!" The Lakers fans in the room shouted.
"Kobe, teach the rookie on the other side a lesson!" Sitting in the first row, the Lakers die-hard - Nicholson shouted from the sidelines.
"Honey, Mo Jie is going to single out Kobe, take a picture!" Needless to say, it was Li Mojie's mother, Mrs. Mary Li excitedly shook Li Jianguo's arm next to her and ordered.
"Okay, okay, I'm already recording, don't shake me." Li Jianguo is also very excited, he has always been a Lakers fan, he once imagined this kind of picture, and now he finally saw his son standing on the most dazzling stage in the league and his favorite star 1v1, he felt that his goosebumps were going to rise!
Kobe Bryant is known to be one of the league's top scorers, and Kobe has always been known in the league for his unyielding fighting spirit and strong desire to win. In this peak period of more than ten years, in addition to ensuring the explosive output of offense, he has to be responsible for defending the opponent's top offensive outside line almost every night, and nine times a formation is the best interpretation of Kobe's defensive ability.
Li Mojie's continuous cross-dribbling, Kobe Bryant was unmoved, he just kept his eyes on Li Mojie's waist at any time.
For a breakthrough player like Li Mojie, whether it is the eyes or the shoulders, they can make too many feints, and the waist will not have feints, which is also the defensive skill that Kobe Bryant learned after his rookie joined the Lakers more than ten years ago.
After discovering that Kobe Bryant was not disturbed by his fancy dribbling, Li Mojie was not surprised to pull the ball with his left hand and shook slightly, and then changed direction and dribbled to the right side.
"Z!"
Kobe Bryant, who was staring at Li Mojie's waist, judged the direction of Li Mojie's breakthrough for the first time, and quickly moved his footsteps, he quickly stopped in front of Li Mojie, and the bodies of the two collided directly together.
was stopped by Kobe, Li Mojie did not force the impact, his body turned slightly, he seemed to be about to turn around, just when Kobe moved his center of gravity to block Li Mojie's turn, Li Mojie suddenly turned back.
Half-turned feint, at this time, Kobe Bryant had already understood, but after all, he was still affected by Li Mojie's previous turn, and he was not able to move back at the first time.
"Slow" originally had an advantage over the defender, because the initiative was in the hands of the attacker, not to mention that on the other side was the 35-year-old Kobe Bryant, who had just returned from a ruptured Achilles tendon injury.
Inside, Gasol was ready to assist in defense at this time, but Li Mojie was unhurried and ran with the ball at high speed, his body moved in the direction of the foot on the same side, and the other foot moved in the opposite direction of the foot that landed earlier, and it was a big stride to change direction, and then the body also moved in the direction of the other foot, "This is the European step?" Gasol, who grew up in the Euroleague, was no stranger to him, but he was surprised that such a six-foot-and-eight-inch small forward was not inferior to a defender when he showed his European pace. But here Li Mojie will not pause, at the same time as the other foot lands, the upper body completes the change of direction, using the foot that lands as the supporting foot, exerting force, jumping, and layup.
"European steps?" The fans in attendance grew their mouths as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
"No, it won't!" Even Li Jianguo opened his mouth wide and stared straight at the field, as if he didn't know his son.
"Oh my God, Li Mojie played Gasol with a coquettish European step after Kobe Bryant and successfully scored the ball! It's amazing. Brin yelled excitedly.
"Is this man so powerful?" This is the stars sitting in the first row, because today's focus battle is broadcast live in the United States, so there are still many big-name stars, such as Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, Carondiaz, Jessica Alba, Tom Cruz, Diana Agron, Shea Ear and so on.
"Well done, darling!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the first row, Li Mojie turned his head, and sure enough, it was his old lover Jenkina's little sister, so he smiled at Jenkina in response.
Anella Sangra on the other side also meowed.
"Oh, it looks like your old lover still remembers you!" Kardashian next to her asked.
"Of course." Jenkina didn't pay any attention to the stares of other Lakers fans, and her chest straightened.
"Come on, Kobe, 1v1 again." On the defensive end, Li Mojie followed Kobe Bryant closely and said to him.
"Huh." Kobe Bryant smiled, if it was 2 years ago, he would definitely have to teach Li Mojie a lesson and couldn't find North before he would give up, but after last year's F4 huddle failure and injuries, he just wants to bring the Lakers into the playoffs this year, and then go forward a few more rounds. (This is true, you can check the data and video of Kobe's six games in the 13-14 season, the play is really reasonable, and there is no *** to play when encountering stars such as DeRozan and Durant, but it's a pity, alas.) )
After Steve Blake dribbled past half court, Kobe asked for the ball, just when many people thought that Kobe Bryant was going to regain face and play Li Mojie alone, Kobe suddenly waved his hand and beckoned Gasol to come up to block the demolition, which was something that no one expected.
Not only was Frye slow, but even Li Mojie was blocked tightly by Gasol, and Kobe Bryant easily shot under the basket in the face of the hesitant Frye.
"What's going on?" Li Mojie asked.
"Hehe, you'll know when you're my age." Bryant glanced at Li Mojie and said.
The Suns attacked, the ball was in Bledsoe's hands, Middleton ran aggressively, Frye pulled out from the inside, leaving only one Markieff inside, and Li Mojie looked for opportunities on either side.
Bledsoe motioned for Markieff Morris to step forward to block the pick-and-roll, and Bledsoe then dribbled the ball into the three-point line. Steve Blake and Steve Nash share the same name, and to be honest, the two have similar defenses. Steve Blake seems to have always come across as a hard-working, low-key, never-breaking, turn-over, traditional point guard, a player who can withstand pressure, a reliable passer, and his passing is simple, direct, and efficient. Steve Blake is a floor-type point guard with a passive style of play and a good sense of the big picture; Able to hit three-pointers without any threat of breakthrough; Relying on height and hard work, lacking strength and speed.
So Bledsoe used a pick-and-roll, using his speed, to get a chance to hit the basket.
And who is the Lakers inside? Howard went to the Rockets, and this season Gasol was frequently pushed to the center position, and the power forward was the league homeless Shaun Williams, a thin-sized two-way forward with limited ball handling; The outside crosshair is unstable, and he rarely breaks through or makes fouls; Athleticism is mediocre and more suitable for defending power forwards with reach. This makes the Lakers' ability to protect the basket weaker, and Bledsoe seized this opportunity to attack the interior.
Gasol opted to shrink the defense, but still blocked Bledsoe's forward rush, and Bledsoe made a very light layup.
