Chapter 805: Kobe Bryant and Meng Xu
"Is this the rhythm of a regular season game? How do I feel like it's the playoffs! “
"The confrontation between Meng and Kobe Bryant is too intense, should the two of them come up with the intensity of the finals level to deal with today's game!"
As the game between the Lakers and the Spurs continues to advance, the atmosphere in the Staples Center is getting higher and higher, because there are now many highly anticipated images on the court, and the confrontation between the two superstars, Meng Xu and Kobe, makes the audience at the scene fascinated.
From the middle of the second quarter of the game, Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant gradually became the dominant on the court, although after starting to play against Meng Xu, Kobe's offensive efficiency has decreased significantly, but when it comes to Kobe's level of players, he will not be locked by anyone, similarly, although Kobe's defense is strong, he can only let Meng Xu score in a more difficult and difficult way, and it is impossible to limit Meng Xu's scoring.
Therefore, when Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant, under the defense of the other party, used difficult actions again and again to return the color to each other, the emotions of the audience became higher and higher, whether it was Kobe Bryant's shooting or Meng Xu's shooting, the audience at the Staples Center would cheer and applaud them.
"Kobe Bryant and Meng Xu bumped into each other again, they really look like these are two players in their 30s, the two of them are really fighting today!"
Although Kobe Bryant knew that his physical fitness was not as good as Meng Xu, when Kobe Bryant was attacking, he still hit Meng Xu again and again without hesitation, not seeking to make him a defensive foul, just to put more defensive pressure on him.
"Old fellow, the defense is not bad." When Kobe Bryant was forced by Meng Xu to shoot the basketball in his hand with a shooting method that almost reached the limit of leaning, Kobe, who fell heavily to the ground, climbed up from the ground after the shot was hit, and mocked Meng Xu who was defending himself. Meng Xu's defense is good, almost every time he can judge Kobe's breakthrough route, and when Kobe Bryant shoots, he can seal Kobe's face every time, or can interfere with Kobe's shooting trajectory, if he were an ordinary player, he would have been Meng Xu's meat and eight vegetarians, or he didn't dare to shoot under Meng Xu's defense, but Kobe, who did not admit defeat, still challenged Meng Xu's defense again and again, and also used the backward shooting that challenged his limit to crack Meng Xu's defense against himself, especially the attack just now, In order to avoid Meng Xu's block in the air, Kobe's reclining amplitude in the air had already exceeded the limit he could reach, so looking at Meng Xu's surprised and helpless expression in the air, Kobe's heart was very happy.
"Old fellow, you voted well." Meng Xu didn't care too much about Kobe's ridicule, but smiled at Kobe Bryant, and it was over.
However, with Meng Xu's character, it is naturally impossible to reveal it, so after returning to the offensive end, Meng Xu directly found Kobe, and the Spurs' backup guard Gary Neal also handed over the basketball in his hand to Meng Xu the moment Meng Xu found Kobe, and asked Meng Xu to hold the ball and play Kobe Bryant.
Because his physical fitness was not as good as Meng Xu's, when Meng Xu held the ball, Kobe Bryant used all his tricks and tried his best to entangle Meng Xu, wanting to disrupt Meng Xu's offensive rhythm and force Meng Xu to score in a more physically demanding and more difficult way.
However, this time, Meng Xu still seized the gap in Kobe's defense, calmly completed his back turn under Kobe's defense, and then ran over directly with his strong body.
After getting rid of Kobe's defense, facing Antoine Jamison, who was making up for the defense, and Kobe Bryant, who had caught up from behind, Meng Xu directly changed direction without slowing down, and completely got rid of Antoine Jamison's defense, and when Antoine Jamison turned around in a hurry and was ready to catch up with Meng Xu, Meng Xu was already hanging on the basket.
"This guy's physical fitness is still so good." After watching Meng Xu break through Antoine Jamison all the way, and then hang on the basket with one hand, Kobe Bryant had to sigh in his heart, in order to avoid injury, Kobe rarely dunks now, and this guy seems to be able to fly around unscrupulously, but after thinking about it, Meng Xu is only 32 years old now, two years younger than himself, and he is still at the end of his physical fitness, so Kobe Bryant was relieved, and said to himself: "Young is good!" “
Meng Xu used a dunk to hit back Kobe's difficult shot just now, and the two faced each other again. When Meng Xu fell from the basket in the cheers of the audience, Michaels on the sidelines was also a little unable to control his mood, who would have thought that these two old guys could play so well in today's game!
"After Meng Xu's comeback this time, I feel that my physical fitness has declined slightly, but the technical level has improved to a certain extent, and in the combination of technology and body, Meng Xu has basically reached the extreme now." Although Magic Johnson was also very surprised and surprised by the duel between Meng Xu and Kobe, compared to Michaels, Magic still has to be a little calmer.
"Old guy, you defended well just now, you almost stopped me, come on, keep up the good work." Meng Xu, who got off the basket, also imitated Kobe's tone just now when he walked to Kobe's side, and provoked Kobe, which was a response to Kobe Bryant's just now.
"Bastard, the game isn't over yet, let's see!" After many rounds of fighting, Kobe's anger has obviously risen, and his fighting spirit is even stronger, Kobe can only think of one thing now, that is, to defeat the Spurs, defeat Meng Xu, and give him a defeat as a Christmas gift.
Although the Lakers fought back in the second quarter, the Spurs still held a four-point lead over the Lakers at the end of the first half.
However, the audience at the Staples Center was obviously satisfied with this score and the team's performance in the second quarter, compared to being pressed to the ground by the Spurs in the first quarter, the Lakers at least recovered the disadvantage in the second quarter, not only playing inextricably with the Spurs on the court, but also narrowing the difference from 8 points to only 4 points.
"We can win, we will win this game!" Bryant, who walked off the court, waved his arms and shouted a few words at his teammates on the bench before returning to the locker room.
