Chapter 109: The Violent Kobe

After Meng Xu was thrown away by Kobe, Duncan pulled out directly from the inside line to make up for Kobe, and now only O'Neal and David Robinson are left under the basket, if Kobe can find an opportunity to pass the ball to O'Neal, then it is O'Neal's one-on-one chance to single David Robinson, with O'Neal's current state, David Robinson without help is definitely not O'Neal's opponent. But Kobe Bryant didn't do this www.biquge.info but went straight to Duncan.

"There is a big problem with Kobe's offensive options this time, and it would be unwise to go to Duncan now." Seeing Kobe Bryant directly facing Duncan, Michaels, the commentator on the scene, was also a little puzzled, this is definitely not Phil Jackson's tactical arrangement, as the league's active big forward with the strongest ability to protect the basket, with Duncan's current state, any outside player will not be able to please him.

Phil Jackson on the bench also frowned slightly, there is no doubt that Kobe's offensive choice is against his established tactics, in the current triangle offense of the Lakers, the end point is O'Neal, and Kobe is just a tandem, because the current strength of Kobe is not enough to become a finisher like Jordan O'Neal.

After two consecutive feints, Kobe Bryant, who saw Meng Xu rushing over to wrap himself and holding the ball sideways, jumped up directly in front of Duncan, and after completing the jump and turning, Kobe Bryant threw the basketball in his hand in the air with a great backswing.

With a brush, the basketball hollow hit, at this time, whether it was the bench on the sidelines or the audience on the court, they all fell into a short silence, Kobe's shot brought them too much shock, Kobe's shooting, posture and recline are very similar to Jordan's lean, and Kobe's movements in the air are extremely elegant. Since Duncan entered the league, there are only a handful of outside players who can successfully single-handedly Duncan face-to-face, and Kobe Bryant also broke through Meng Xu's blockade before single-handing Duncan.

After landing, Kobe Bryant shook his hands fiercely, before the game started, Kobe Bryant felt that he was in very good shape, he couldn't wait to hold the ball to find Meng Xu, blow up this rookie who embarrassed him, show all the fans, show Phil Jackson his true strength, and prove to them that he can also lead the team to win.

"Is this one of the four strongest scoring guards in the first decade of the 20th century?" When Kobe Bryant leaned on Meng Xu outside the three-point line and directly turned his back and leaned back to hit a three-pointer, looking at Kobe's extremely elegant shooting and domineering celebration, Meng Xu was also shocked by Kobe's performance.

After only 3 minutes of playing in the first quarter, Popovich called a timeout, the trajectory of the game was completely out of Popovich's expectations, in three minutes, Kobe Bryant shot 4 of 5, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 10 points alone, Kobe Bryant's outburst after the opening completely caught the Spurs off guard, and O'Neal, who was taken care of by the Spurs, has only scored two points so far.

"Greg, that No. 8 on the other side is a little abnormal today." For Kobe Bryant's hot form, Mike Budenholzer is also a little worried.

"It doesn't seem like it's going to be easy to win this game." Although the Lakers have a regular season best record of 67 wins this season, they only have 1 win and 3 losses in the face of the Spurs, and the only win is that the Spurs also rotated two main players, the Spurs with Duncan and David Robinson, the two interior lines and the best defensive player of the season, its lineup is very restrained Lakers, but this restraint is based on the premise that Duncan and David Robinson can limit O'Neal, and Meng Xu can lock one of Kobe Bryant and Glen Rice, but judging from the situation of the previous two games, It was very difficult to restrain O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant suddenly exploded again in this game.

In Popovich's view, any player, including Jordan, has ups and downs, even if it is a role player, he will occasionally break out once or twice, not to mention a star like Kobe, once this kind of player explodes, he will be like O'Neal in the first two games, he is simply invincible. Unfortunately, Kobe Bryant exploded in the series against the Spurs, and it was such a crucial game.

After the game restarted, perhaps because of the pause, Kobe's shooting percentage began to decline, but Kobe's offense was still very threatening.

When Kobe Bryant once again held the ball to face Meng Xu, Kobe Bryant also seemed very excited, and when Meng Xu succeeded in singled out Duncan for the first time in this game, Kobe Bryant became more and more excited. In the first two games with the Spurs, Kobe Bryant was questioned, and the media who used to constantly tout themselves, although they didn't like the title of Jordan's successor, but Kobe Bryant's heart was still very useful for these touts, but in the past few days, these media have suddenly changed the direction of the wind and began to belittle themselves in a different way.

In Kobe's mind, his goal has always been to beat Jordan and surpass Jordan. But now the first thing is to defeat the kid in front of him and completely blow him up, and Kobe's performance in the previous games has obviously laid a solid foundation for this small goal.

"Let me crush you completely." This offense Kobe did not directly choose to shoot on the outside, Kobe's three-point shot has always been a shortcoming, the shooting rate has always hovered around 30 for several seasons, at the beginning of the game in the face of Meng Xu after shooting two 3-pointers in a row, Kobe's confidence skyrocketed, but the next three three-point misses, and Kobe Bryant returned to reality, and finally Kobe still chose to break through and shoot as his main offensive means.

At the moment when Kobe started to accelerate, Meng Xu, who had been prepared, immediately blocked Kobe's breakthrough route, with Meng Xu's movement speed and judgment ability, almost all breakthrough players in the league will be deflated when facing Meng Xu, even if Iverson's kind of weird breakthrough cannot guarantee that Meng Xu can be thrown off every time. Just after Meng Xu blocked Kobe's breakthrough route in advance, Kobe, who was about to hit Meng Xu's arms, suddenly made an emergency stop, followed by two consecutive feints shaking, accelerating in the opposite direction again, after Meng Xu followed, another feint and change of direction, relying on the inertia of acceleration to wipe Meng Xu, and directly stopped the jump shot at the edge of the paint area, and the basketball hit again.

"Very beautiful breakaways and jumpers, Meng's defense is good enough, but it still can't limit Kobe Bryant." As the largest Meng blow, Michaels's principle has always been "blow if there are conditions, and blow if there are no conditions to create conditions." "Finding a way to exonerate Meng Xu is a piece of cake for Michaels.
