Chapter 184: Black Mamba's Rival

"No matter how much help the defense ends, the desire to attack today is very strong, and he will probably take more shots in the second quarter. In addition, on the offensive end, we can try Gasol's point more, and in the first quarter of the game, when Gasol was on the floor, we always held the lead. The Germans' slump in form is not just in attack, but in all directions. Also, Ron. Control your movements, I don't want you to be sent off! "Interjunctive time, Phil. Jackson didn't say much to the players, this old man has been with the Lakers for so many years, and the players have long been familiar with many things.

And Phil. Jackson has a habit of letting players learn to solve problems on their own. So after a few words, Jackson sat back in his place and chatted with the assistant coaches without a word.

After the Zen master left, the interregnum time was naturally not over. At this time, the "head coach" of the Lakers became Kobe Bryant.

"I've heard what the old man said, Paul, you don't have to come out to block me in the second quarter, try to get yourself on the inside, and we'll try to make the ball for you. Also, Derek. Kobe Bryant said, looking at Fischer, who had been with him for many years.

"If you can't get that Chinese, I'll switch guards with you."

"yes, got it." Fischer nodded, and had to admit that Yiyang did put too much pressure on this championship point guard. It's not a shame to change the defense, it's all for the team's victory.

Finally, the electronic beep in the Staples Center echoed through the audience. Bryant stood up and staggered twice to get ready to play. However, when "Black Mamba" glanced at the Mavericks' half-court, he was stunned for a moment.

I saw Yiyang and Kidd high-five each other, and then walked onto the court at the same time! The Mavericks have played a dual-point guard tactic again, which also means that Kobe Bryant will be directly opposite Yiyang in the next time!

"Bryant!" Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines, naturally saw this scene, so before going on the court, he shouted Kobe's name.

Bryant turned his head and saw the Zen master gently make a throat-slitting motion. The next battle looks like it's going to be bloody.

Once the game began, the Mavericks took the lead in attacking. Kidd wasn't just gesticulating, he was shouting. Under his command, the Mavericks' players quickly got into position. Seeing that Kidd was getting closer and closer to the three-point line, Lao Yu also lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms.

However, Fischer had just stepped into defensive mode when Kidd was out on the ball!

The basketball is not passed to others, it is given to Yiyang, who is standing on the right side!

“Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! ......As soon as Yiyang held the ball, fans at the Staples Center began shouting Bryant's name. These guys are cheering on their leaders!

However, the expected heads-up did not materialize. Yiyang is just a transit point, responsible for making the ball to Nowitzki. He gently hung the ball on the top of Kobe's head, and ended the first matchup against Kobe Bryant with the ball.

Nowitzki holds the ball with his back and Gasol struggles to top the ball. Just when people thought that this would be a big battle between elders, Yiyang suddenly started and passed by Kobe!

Bryant has been between Yiyang and Nowitzki, and the German has no chance to pass the ball at all. Yiyang, who originally raised his right hand, put his arm down, as if he had given up catching the ball.

But in the next second, Yiyang changed the direction of his running in an instant, and the acceleration seemed to be completed in an instant!

An extremely beautiful reverse run opened a gap between Yiyang and Kobe. This gap is enough for Yiyang to receive Nowitzki's pass.

Nowitzki hit the ball again, and Kobe Bryant immediately posted it. Yiyang looked at Kobe Bryant's eyes but shook his wrist and threw the ball out hard, it turned out that Kidd had already gotten rid of Fischer through superb running and ran to the right corner. Even though Kobe's defense was very tight, the Mavericks' tactics were still executed!

Kidd catches the ball and shoots, even though Kidd is shooting just 36 percent per game this season. But this goal, old Kidd scored neatly!

"Here it is, here comes the extremely smooth running ball under the Mavericks' two-point guard lineup! At the beginning of the second quarter, Kidd helped the Mavericks equalize! With an assist from Yi, Kobe's defense doesn't seem to have completely sealed this rookie! ”

"Ball, ball." This time, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to reach out to Gasol for the baseline ball. This No. 24 has to personally control the ball through the half court and control the attack himself!

Yiyang did not stick to Kobe, although this guy is 32 years old, his breakthrough ability is still not to be underestimated.

Kobe Bryant saw that Yiyang didn't have a hot head, so he passed the ball to Artest. After that, Bryant ran all the way to the left, raising his hand at Artest as he ran.

Atay did not hesitate and immediately played the ball. Yiyang didn't dare to reach out rashly to steal, because if he didn't successfully intercept the ball, he would lose his defensive position. Against Kobe, this kind of gambling thing Yiyang will not do.

Kobe Bryant received the basketball and took two steps in with his shoulder against Yiyang's chest. After that, he suddenly retreated and jumped straight to shoot.

"Kill you!" Kobe Bryant said lightly, and the basketball also shot. This Kobe Bryant said very quietly, only he and Yiyang, who blocked Kobe, could hear it.

Although Yiyang's block was very timely, Kobe's slightly backward shot allowed the basketball to avoid Yiyang's palm and fly straight to the basket.

As soon as the two landed, the sound of the net and the basketball rubbing against each other jumped into Yiyang's ears. Yiyang shook his head, it seems that his defense has failed!

"Kobe Bryant's goal was very simple, and he still suffered a little bit in terms of height. But this is normal, no one in the entire league can keep Kobe Bryant clean, let alone look like he is just a rookie. The most important thing now is whether the Mavericks can continue to bite the score. Van Gundy wasn't surprised by Bryant's goal at all. This does not mean that Yiyang's defense is not good enough, it can only be said that Kobe's personal ability is too strong.

Although Kobe Bryant scored a goal, Yiyang was not discouraged. Dealing with his once favorite team and idol, coupled with Artest's hug and fall, Yiyang's fighting spirit has long been filled to the highest point.

This time offensively, Kidd did not pass the ball, but reached out and called Chandler to block it. The pick-and-roll was a success, as Kidd delayed the defense and landed a pass to Chandler, who cut inside.

Chandler was about to dunk, but "Little Shark" Bynum jumped high and slapped the basketball in the hands of the "King of Fighters".

Gasol arrived and grabbed the fanned basketball, then found Kobe Bryant and passed the ball directly. It looks like the Lakers are trying to push a transition offense!

Yiyang, who had already started to run to his own half, saw that Gasol was passing the ball to Kobe Bryant in a high way, so he suddenly braked, turned around and ran back!

One of the characteristics of the high lob pass is that the ball is slower, and if it is not passed to a big player, this type of pass is very easy to steal!

Just as Kobe raised his arm to catch the ball, a figure suddenly rushed to the Black Mamba without warning!

Yiyang was like a speeding car on the road, which made Kobe, who was "crossing the road", stunned for a second, and had no time to react.

By the time Kobe Bryant came to his senses, the basketball that was close at hand was gone.

At this point, only one Bynum was still dragging behind near the basket. Because when Chandler's offense failed, the rest of the Lakers' players started to run to the frontcourt.

This chaotic situation caused the Lakers to switch from defense to offense, and then from offense to defense in an instant. Bynum was going to stand in a good position and wait for the opportunity to block, but Yiyang's speed was beyond the imagination of the champion center.

He was just about to move sideways, and Yiyang was already holding the basketball into the penalty area. That Dallas No. 1 jumped straight to the basket, and the only thing Bynum could do was reach for a foul.

But even if he pulled, Bynum was still a step slower. This guy only grabbed a ball of air, and Yiyang's speed was so fast that Bynum didn't even have a chance to foul!

A beautiful steal also stole two points from Kobe's head. Gasol was a little careless when passing the ball, after all, he is now the third-highest player in the league in steals per game, behind only Rajan. Rondo and Monta. Ellis! ”

Kobe Bryant did not blame Gasol, but silently accepted the fact that the score was equalized again. But if it was someone else's mistake, Kobe Bryant would not necessarily be so "gentle" to deal with it.

In the next round, Kobe Bryant rushed Fischer early to ask for the ball, and at the same time, the Lakers pulled away and tried their best to give Kobe Bryant room to play alone!

In the face of Yiyang, Kobe Bryant has more advantages in height and weight, so this No. 24 did not hesitate and broke through immediately!

The current Kobe Bryant's breakthrough speed is by no means fast in Yiyang's opinion. But his solid pace and strong upper body strength also made Yiyang is defeat step by step!

Kobe Bryant hit the basket, made a layup, and lifted the ball hard over his head!

Tyson under the basket. Chandler was spotted away, but Yiyang, who was stuck in front of Kobe, was unmoved!

"Damn!" Kobe didn't expect that Yiyang, a rookie, was not fooled, so he only turned around and jumped, and the difficulty of this attack was also increased by Kobe himself.

Yiyang tried his best to block it, although he suffered a loss in height, Yiyang's arm length made up for his height disadvantage.

Under Yiyang's strict interference, the basketball thrown by Kobe Bryant failed to hit and came out of the frame!

At this point, all the Staples Center fans were stunned. Just now, Kobe Bryant was guarded down by a rookie again?

If Wade were watching the game at this time, he would only think that the fans in Los Angeles were rare and strange. After all, Wade, who has already had two fights with Yiyang, knows very well that Yiyang, a rookie, has the same defensive ability as his ricochet, which will always be ignored by people!

"The unwavering defense has finally paid off! Kobe Bryant shot the iron, of course, we have to admit that the difficulty of this shot is too great, even if Kobe Bryant can't shoot, it's normal. ”

While Van Gundy was talking, Yiyang had already begun to run towards the half-court. Now the person in charge of the field is Kidd, and Yiyang's responsibility is to score!

Kidd received a pass from a teammate and looked at Yiyang's movement, and he immediately ran forward, then suddenly threw the ball into the air when he stepped on the ball of his foot across the halfway line.

Even Los Angeles fans who have watched countless wonderful scenes are now stunned. There is a lot of tactical play in the two-point guard lineup, but the aerial relay between the two point guards is ......

Kidd's pass was just right, and Artest, who was close behind Yiyang, jumped early, but the basketball crossed the fingertips of the defensive giant.

Yiyang jumped high, and at only 1.93 meters tall, he received the pass that seemed to be only available to big players. It looked like the little point guard was like a UFO with an anti-gravity device, and suddenly it burst into the air!

Yiyang caught the basketball with both hands, and Kidd raised his arms in celebration the moment Yiyang received the basketball.

In the next second, Yiyang's body fell suddenly! With the help of this force, he grabbed the basketball with both hands and worked hard!

"Bang!" The basket made a loud noise, and Yiyang dunked a powerful aerial relay, and the Staples Center, which made people buzz, immediately fell silent!

"Yiyang - incredible dunk! No one could have imagined that Kidd and Yi would play like this, and it once again refreshed our understanding of him! Ladies and gentlemen, this is an extremely athletic point guard! He can rush from the backcourt to the frontcourt in an instant, and complete aerial relay dunks with unimaginable jump heights! ”

After Yiyang landed, he gently hammered his chest in the stands. This was already the action of this silent man at a very excited moment.

The number "1" was deeply imprinted in Kobe's eyes, and he completely forgot what he was going to do, staring at Yiyang with his head up, and there was no response.

From beginning to end, he didn't get rid of that No. 1 completely, he had just been successfully tackled by the opponent, and now he played an incredible counterattack, he couldn't believe his eyes......

The jury is still out on whether this game will be won or lost, but at least for now, Kobe Bryant can be sure of one thing - from now on, the Lakers will have one more difficult opponent in the playoffs!
