Chapter 116: He's Kobe

"The Heat owe credit for this goal. Johnson, this guy is once again losing his attention on the defensive end! "Charles. Barkley rolled his eyes, "He doesn't go into a trance two or three times a game, as if life is no fun." ”

"Let's take a look at the Lakers' offense, will Kobe Bryant take the initiative to participate in the team's first offense?" Kenny. Smith watched the Lakers advance on the court, "It doesn't look like it's going to be, Kobe Bryant is in the corner." ”

Ronnie. Price glanced at Addison, who was expressionless: "Rookie, I heard that you have been very popular recently?" In Damian. Lillard scored 30 points on his head? ”

Addison's gaze was still calm and indifferent, and the other party's words did not make him react at all, but carefully observed the details of Price's movements.

This unresponsive apathy has fueled Price's infuriation, and he has recently been promoted to the starting line-up position, and his confidence has never been greater. Originally, in this game, he thought that if he could get good data on the head of this rookie who has been in the limelight recently, then his team status would definitely be greatly improved.

"Arrogant rookie, wait to pay for your arrogance!"

Addison was a little dazed when he heard this, he didn't feel that he was acting arrogant and arrogant, why did this guy in front of him suddenly get angry? But anyway, he didn't put Ronnie in the first place. Price took it seriously, and it would have been interesting to let this guy sit back on the bench and replace Jeremy Lin in the opposite position.

Ronnie. Price slapped the ball from his crotch to the left with his right hand, and immediately picked up speed to hit Addison's side. But the Chinese rookie had already made a prediction, and the light sliding step blocked the space for Price to break through, and then clinged to it and hit the opponent with his body.

Suddenly hit by the unexpected force, Price was taken aback, and the breakthrough was forced to stop, hitting the ball from behind to his right hand. As if expected, Addison suddenly reached out and nearly broke off the front of the basketball as Price dribbled.

Ronnie. Price stepped back in a hurry and exited directly outside the three-point line, and that panicked look made the Lakers fans in the front row of the audience a little unbearable.

"Look at Addison's defensive aggressiveness! Ronnie. Mr. Price, pass the ball! You can't break through his defenses! Barkley grinned and sarcastically unsparingly.

Bryant, who was in the bottom corner, frowned and ran over to signal Price for a pass. Price, who was blocked outside the three-point line, hurriedly passed the ball, but Kobe Bryant still didn't attack himself, and after a fumb, he hoisted the ball to George on the inside. Hill.

George. Although Hill has not been very happy in the league over the years, he still has some individual offensive ability, and can even play alone with his back. But today's Whiteside, who was in the opposite position, put too much pressure on his defense, with his tall frame and exaggerated reach completely behind him, and Hill's two back-to-back attacks didn't help.

The Lakers center turned to face the basket before the back time was counted and passed the ball to Eddard on the move. Davis. Davis shot under Bosh's defense, so there was basically no hope of a hit.

Whiteside easily grabbed the defensive rebound and gave it to Addison. The Heat point guard waited for his teammates to settle before dribbling through the halfcourt and coming to the top of the arc to face Price.

"Come on, rookie, let me see your strength...... Isn't it as exaggerated as the media boasts! "Price, who just suffered a loss, desperately wants to come back on the defensive end.

Addison's expressionless eyes glanced at Price, and he didn't know what to make of the poor fellow, blinded by his inflated confidence.

- Well, as you wish.

The basketball slammed into the floor in front of Addison and bounced off his right hand. Lift your weight abruptly, tilt your shoulders, and step your right foot to the left of your opponent!

Ronnie. Price followed suit, but Addison changed direction sharply in front of him, and the center of gravity had already been pulled back when the basketball returned to his left hand. The Chinese rookie was lightning fast, and before Price could move back to his center of gravity, Addison had already rushed from his side to the inside!

"Price can't keep up with Addison, not at all. I suspect that from the moment Addison changed direction, Price had already given up on defense. "Kenny. Smith smacked his lips, his tone a little playful.

"It's like crossing the road in the early morning...... Addison can best illustrate Peyton's words. Barkley raised an eyebrow, "Price isn't a gifted being like Grant. ”

Kobe Bryant on the wing wanted to let go of Ennis's defense, but Addison was too fast, rushed into the restricted area in the blink of an eye, jumped up and made a layup. In Jordan. Hill turned around and retracted his arm before blocking and passed to Whiteside, who was on standby on the other side, and Whiteside directly dunked it with both hands, allowing Jordan to dunk it. Hill became the backdrop.

Losing four points in a row in the opening game, Kobe's face was not very good-looking, but he glanced at Byron on the sidelines. With an indifferent expression, Scott sighed to himself and ran to the front.

Ronnie dribbling over. Price was a little speechless, losing the first round on both ends of the floor, much to his chagrin and panic. Price gave up the assault and called out Ed. Davis covers.

Ed. Davis is one of the few Lakers players who has played well this season, with a height of 6-foot-10 but maintaining good mobility and considerable rebounding and blocking ability. But on the offensive end, Davis has little projection ability, can only attack under the basket, and his skills are relatively rough.

Bosh came up and switched to Ronnie. Price, Addison was entangled with Davis a few times and then let him into the inside. Davis doesn't have much to do in the high post, but the Heat have Whiteside in the box.

Price couldn't get rid of Bosh's change of defense in time, and Addison immediately went over and teamed up with his teammates to wrap up the Lakers point guard and put great defensive pressure on him.

"Steal! Poor Price, after being trapped, couldn't find a way to get out of the ball! "Kenny. There was no pity in Smith's tone, "The Heat fought back all the way!" The Lakers' return speed is too slow! ”

Addison dribbles to the halfway line and passes to James, who cuts in on the wing. Ennis, Ennis attracted to Wesley. Johnson's attention was then passed to Ruhr, who cut in again. Deng, in the end, was won by the Briton with one hand.

"Three offenses in the opening game, three dunks were successful...... I'd love to ask Byron. Scott, where exactly is his so-called defensive system? Barkley focused the firepower on the Lakers' head coach, "The whole league knows that if you want to reduce the Miami counterattack, you have to make fewer mistakes on the offensive end." However, now the Lakers have Carlos on the bench. Boozer and Lin, these two are no better than Ronnie on the offensive end. Price and Ed. Davis is sure...... Scott pinned the two men to the bench. ”

"Maybe Scott is trying to take advantage of Davis's maneuverability, but it's obviously not working well right now." Kenny. Smith's words were somewhat tactful, "If I'm guessing correctly, Kobe Bryant is going to start taking the initiative." ”

***

"Ball."

Ronnie. Price had just passed the half-court when a muffled voice rang out as Bryant lifted the ball from the bottom corner to the 60-degree area of the left three-point line and asked for the ball in short words.

Price obediently passed the ball and made two consecutive mistakes on the offensive end, and Bryant took the initiative to take the ball to the relief of Price, who felt he needed to take a break now.

Kobe Bryant's classic triple threat move finally got the Staples Arena cheering, and many celebrities sitting in the front row applauded and cheered him on.

The 36-year-old Kobe actually didn't want to exert his strength so early, and he still has injury risks on his body, especially the left shoulder injury is not completely complete. Now he's going all out for two fights, and he's going to have to take one break and keep icing. Age and injuries have made it impossible for him to fight as recklessly as he did two years ago, and now he has to take care of his body at all times.

But the opening 6:0 situation that obviously looked like it was going to collapse made Kobe Bryant have to stand up, no matter how old and how he suffered from injuries, he is also the leader of this team, Kobe Bryant knows this.

James. Ennis nervously stood in front of the 'Black Mamba', even if it was Kobe Bryant, who was no longer in his prime. Bryant, Ennis was still unusually excited.

Bryant took a tentative step forward with his left foot, the first time without affecting his opponent's judgment, and the second time, in addition to the tentative step, he swung his hands with the ball to the other side of his body. Ennis's judgment was disrupted and he took a step back with his right leg. Bryant took advantage of the situation and broke through the opponent's retreating side to the inside, Ennis was more explosive and faster than him, and then moved sideways to keep Bryant back in front of the paint.

The dribble stopped by the black mamba directly with his right foot as the axis turned his back to face James. Ennis, at the moment when Ennis moved, turned back with the pivotal foot, and threw a backward jumper in a fluttering way!

The speed from the jump to the shot was not fast, but the rhythm of the game was at the moment when Ennis was most uncomfortable, and his blocking did not work at all.

"!!Shh The basketball is steadily brushed into the basket......

The cheers at Staples Arena erupted, and fans got up from their seats and shouted, unaware of the situation, thinking it was Kobe Bryant's winning shot.

"Kobe Bryant's first shot of the game, a step-back jumper!" Kenny. Smith laughed and said, "The Black Mamba looks pretty good tonight!" ”

"This is Kobe, Kenny, it's Black Mamba's forte to step up when the team needs him!" Barkley put on a god-like expression again, "It doesn't matter if it's 36 or 46 years old Kobe. Bryant, in my opinion, he can always do that! ”

After the goal, Bryant glanced at Ennis, who was no longer as aggressive on the court as he was when he was younger, and just smiled and retreated into his own half.

"How does it feel? Scored on his own head by the Black Mamba...... "Ruhr. Deng slapped Ennis's buttocks, "Why don't I defend him?" ”

"No, I'm defending!" Ennis responded very firmly, and his face was not the slightest bit of frustration, but overflowing with excitement.

Addison only remembered that Ennis was a big fan of Kobe......
