Chapter 117: Singles Round

Back on the offensive end, Addison took a look and found that Chris. Bosh was unexpectedly restrained on the offensive end. Ed. Although Davis's offensive skills are rough, he is very mobile and can keep up with Bosh's movements, and Davis is also very aggressive defensively, always following closely behind the 'Dragon King'.

Addison called out Whitecedra to come out as cover, and he was sure that the Lakers would not dare to let Ed. Davis brought up the defense at this time, because then Bosh will be empty, and I'm afraid there are not many teams in the league that dare to let Bosh go.

Sure enough, Ed. Davis didn't leave Bosh, but Jordan. Hill mentioned that the Lakers center's movement was too far behind that of Addison, and the Chinese point guard easily pulled the ball and turned it away.

Seeing Addison burst into the basket, Ed. Davis had no choice but to make up for it, and Addison took advantage of the situation to pass the ball to the open Bosh, and the 'Dragon' threw an open jumper on the left side.

"Any idea why I would say tonight's game was a carnage? Because the Lakers can't guard the people they should be guarding the most," Barkley pouted. Price couldn't stop Addison at all, and the delay on the inside line didn't work. If Addison doesn't feel the defensive pressure, the Trail Blazers have already given the answer. ”

Bryant walked to the baseline and fed the ball to Price, then whispered to him, "Wait a minute, you go defend James. Ennis, that rookie is over to me. ”

Price glanced at Kobe in surprise, he couldn't prevent the person, he didn't think that Kobe, who was aging and injured, could prevent it. But when the team boss speaks, Price won't go unlistened.

The Lakers attacked, and after a few passes the ball came to Kobe Bryant's hands, the Black Mamba still faced James in the wing three. Ennis, holding the ball in both hands at his waist.

This time Ennis stared closer, and although he didn't stick to it, his right hand kept shaking in front of Kobe's eyes to block the other party's view. The corners of the black mamba's mouth twitched slightly, he had been treated like this by defenders countless times in more than ten years, and if he could be prevented by just interfering with his vision, what kind of superstar was that......

Holding the ball in both hands and swinging under his body, Kobe Bryant suddenly moved his center of gravity to the right side, but Ennis was blocked by Jordan when he followed the defense. Hill stood still. Bryant didn't make the basket, jumped up on the left end of the free throw line, ignored Bosh who pounced on the defense, and leaned back slightly.

The basketball crosses a rounded arc and plunges headlong into the net again!

"Beautiful! Please forgive me for using such a colloquial word, now I can only think of pretty! The aesthetic of KB24's offense is truly pleasing to the eye, even if it's not as threatening! "Ross Barkley has always looked proud of his senior players in the last two years, and this time is no different.

"Both attacks were hit, and the Black Mamba felt good today!"

Kobe himself also has a satisfied expression, his form this season is always unstable, and his hand is often frighteningly cold. But tonight seemed to feel good, hitting all the first two shots.

Addison watched Kobe Bryant run back to the halfcourt, and couldn't help but silently praise in his heart, even if he was an injured old Mamba, he was still the player with the most comprehensive offensive skills in the league, and he still had no dead ends in the firepower. As long as the touch comes, Kobe Bryant can still explode with huge combat power.

ELL, we'd better not run into a black mamba who is in full form today......

"Ennis, keep an eye on it! Don't give Bryant plenty of room to shoot! Spoelstra instructed from the sidelines, but knew in his heart that it wasn't an effective approach.

When Kobe Bryant. When Bryant is on the hot spot, will the bag and press defense work? Of course not!

Spoelstra rubbed his chin helplessly, if Kobe Bryant was in this excellent form all the time, then this game would be really difficult.

Addison dribbled across the half court and was slightly surprised to find that it was no longer Ronnie who was in front of him. Price, but the guy in the No. 24 jersey.

"Don't be so surprised, young man, I'll defend you from now on." Bryant calmly opened his arms, his defensive moves were as standard as they had been for ten years, "The game is still going on." ”

A gleam crossed Addison's eye, and his center of gravity on the dribble gradually lowered. Players like Kobe Bryant who have suffered a major Achilles tendon injury generally struggle to defend against speedy opponents, but Addison believes Kobe has his own way. After all, this guy in front of him is a master defensive expert who has been selected for the best defensive team 9 times, and even if his body has degraded, his skills are still intact.

Bryant and Addison are separated by a position, and he steps on the three-point line to defend, deliberately leaving some space for the opponent to shoot outside the three-point line, while also leaving himself a buffer. This kind of position is a bit embarrassing for the Chinese rookie, his three-point shooting ability has not improved much, and Kobe Bryant can interfere when he shoots at any time.

"Keep an eye on him, Kobe! Give him some color and see! ”

"Let that rookie understand what defensive !! is"

"It's time to teach them a lesson, Black Mamba!!"

The shouts in the stadium rang out one after another, Spoelstra and Byron. Scott watched with interest as Addison and Kobe Bryant went one-on-one at the top of the arc.

"Finally the picture I wanted to see! Black Mamba vs Addison! Kenny, who do you think they'll win this round? Barkley rubbed his palms together as if he had seen a delicious meal.

"Addison has an absolute advantage in terms of speed, but we have reason to believe that Kobe Bryant will use his defensive skills to make the Heat No. 7 very uncomfortable."

The basketball shuttled back and forth in front of Addison's body and under his crotch, and the extremely irregular rhythm made Kobe Bryant a little dazed, so he no longer paid attention to these, but focused on the details of Addison's waist and legs. Kobe Bryant at his peak was extremely aggressive defensively, and he would definitely have to rush up to threaten the opponent at this time. But now Kobe Bryant doesn't dare to rob at will, because it is easy for Addison to use the starting speed to clean himself up.

After two or three broken steps in a row, Addison slapped the ball hard with his right hand and broke directly to Kobe's left side. The position left earlier gave Bryant room to cushion, and his left leg stepped back, and his right leg gently stepped forward to push against the opponent's body as he moved sideways.

It was the collision of his right leg that made Addison's breakthrough momentum abruptly stopped, he didn't expect the other party to have such a move, but Kobe Bryant took this opportunity to stick to his body and put pressure on Addison.

Instead of stepping back to open up space, the Chinese rookie quickly turned with the ball in his right hand, and the basketball hit from his crotch to his left hand. Bryant's reaction was also extremely fast, he retreated as the opponent turned, opened up a position with Addison again, and then slid to block the opponent's breakthrough lane.

At this time, the two of them have come to the three-point line, and Kobe's intention is obviously to prevent breakouts and not to shoot, or just to interfere with the shot. Addison made a jumper, Bryant pounced and reached out to interfere, and the basketball bounced off the back basket.

β€œRound one! The winner was Kobe Bryant. Bryant! Buck said in a fighting game tone, "He managed to stop Addison's singles!" ”

The fans cheered on Ed. Davis protected the backcourt rebound, and instead of passing it to Price, it went directly to Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba personally dribbled the ball across the half, but this time he missed his jumper in the face of Ennis's full defense, and the Lakers failed to grab a second offensive opportunity, and Whiteside did a good job of protecting the rebound.

"I'm disappointed with Addison's choice, he is no longer one-on-one with Kobe, but with the help of pick-and-roll!" Barkley switched back to holding his chin, "I can understand that he would put victory first as the heart of the organization, but I'm still disappointed. ”

"Come on, Sir Charles, you're just disappointed that you don't have the picture you want to see." Kenny. Smith debunked his partner's heart, "Maybe you can look at the sidelines, I have to say that the cheerleaders recruited by the Bass family are really good-looking!" ”

"Damn it, Kenny, you're fooling me! I'm made to compete, and my focus is only on the competition! Barkley said solemnly, but his eyes involuntarily aimed at the cheerleaders on the sidelines.

"You and Kevin. Harlan, that guy is all the way...... I really feel sorry for Reggie and myself, because we're not only working with perverts, but we're also perverts who don't want to admit themselves......"

Addison didn't tangle with Kobe Bryant more on the offensive end, but used more blocking to shake off opponents. The Lakers have poor pick-and-roll defense, which gives Addison more freedom to play.

And Kobe Bryant's shooting touch did not maintain his previous explosive state, but he is still the best player in the Lakers' starting lineup, and he will give James from time to time on the offensive end. Ennis: a lesson.

Seven minutes into the first quarter, the game was tied at 17-9, and yes, the Lakers scored just nine points in seven minutes. And in 9 points, Kobe Bryant scored 7 points alone, and the remaining two points were Wesley. Johnson got it through free throws.

Ronnie. Price had 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 2 turnovers in 7 minutes, and was almost invisible on the court. Even so, Byron. Scott still left him on the court, and he didn't look at Jeremy Lin, who was sitting on the bench.

Addison used the pick-and-roll to shake off Ronnie again. Price, this time Kobe Bryant let go of James in time. Ennis made up for it, and Addison changed direction and broke through two steps before handing the ball to Whiteside, who was in high position.

The Heat center glanced at the unguarded around him, and simply threw a mid-range shot, and the basketball hit the net with a spin.

Addison was very satisfied, this was Whiteside's first shot in the high post of the game, and although his half-volley ability was still unstable, his self-confidence was gradually increasing.

And Byron on the sidelines. Scott smashed his fist in annoyance, the opposing player shot high, and his own player didn't even have the least interference?! He doesn't remember how he did it in training!

The margin was widened to 10 points, and Scott had to call a timeout.
