Chapter 55: The Battle of Points
Zhang Zifeng threw the ball into the air, and Josh. Smith immediately rushed straight to the penalty area from the middle, and the whole person in the penalty area rose into the air, grabbed the flying basketball with one hand, and smashed the ball into the basket fiercely!
"Beautiful!"
Charles. Barkley couldn't help but shout at this time: "A wonderful air relay!" Zhang Zifeng used a wonderful assist to help Smith dunk. It can be seen that Zhang Zifeng intends to let Smith attack more to help him integrate into the team as soon as possible. ”
2:0, in the first game of the 76ers, he dunked with a wonderful aerial relay and scored the first point.
Josh. When Smith ran back to the backcourt, he took the initiative to high-five Zhang Zifeng in celebration.
Whether it's in the Pistons or the Clippers, Josh. Smith is all locker room bombs.
Fans are worried about the problem of Josh. Smith will have a feud with Zhang Zifeng.
Now Zhang Zifeng with Josh. Smith showed a good cooperation at the beginning, which made many teams who cared about the 76ers relax a lot, and it looked like a good start!
The 76ers, who came from afar, started the game with a reversal, which made the Lakers' players very unhappy.
The Lakers have been doing well this season, sitting in eighth place in the West, and are likely to make the playoffs again this season.
And the Lakers can perform like this in this game, mainly relying on the twin tower tactics, Hibbert's defense, and Okafor's offense.
Roy Hibbert is known to be a top-tier rim protector who has been known for his defense since joining the Pacers. Especially in the few times when the Pacers competed with the Cavaliers for the Eastern Conference championship, Hibbert caused a lot of trouble for James on the inside.
And Okafor, who was known for his excellent low-post offensive skills when he was at Duke University, was once one of the candidates for the top pick that year with his scoring ability on the inside. In the new season, the Lakers also relied on his excellent interior scoring ability to help the Lakers firmly nail the eighth position in the West.
The deterrent power brought by the combination of such two players on the inside may only be comparable to teams in the league such as the Grizzlies and Spurs, which are home to the Twin Towers.
Although the Lakers have mainly played the interior two-tower strategy this season, Kobe Bryant has made a tour plan early this season because it is his last season.
Who dares to spoil his good deeds, now the Lakers' tactics are to let Kobe Bryant play in the first and fourth quarters, and Okafor and them in the second and third quarters.
Clarkson, while the Lakers fans were anxiously waiting, dribbled the ball past half court and handed it to Kobe.
Lakers fans cheered when they saw it.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng staring at him on the outside, Kobe Bryant shouted, "I'm here!" ”
Looking at the alliance, due to the large number of double guards.
As a result, many of the No. 2 players of strong teams have become 3D players.
Although there are still Harden and DeRozan to support them, the withering of the scoring guard is already a fact that is not honorable!
Now it is rare to see such an influential scoring guard as Zhang Zifeng, and Kobe naturally wants to have a good competition with him after retiring.
"Oh~ Zhang Zifeng is about to face Kobe, what kind of response will he make?" Charles. Buckley sat down in front of the commentary booth and shouted excitedly.
Bryant was holding the ball from the outside, and Roy Hibbert wanted to run up and help him with a pick-and-roll.
Kobe Bryant shouted directly to Roy Hibbert, "Go away, I'm going to fight Zhang Zifeng alone!" ”
Roy Hibbert immediately walked away, and Kobe Bryant looked at Zhang Zifeng and shouted, "I'm here!" ”
Zhang Zifeng heard staring at Kobe Bryant with all his body, even if Kobe was old, he was still the black mamba, and he still had deadly fangs.
Of course, the current Kobe Bryant does not have the explosiveness of the past, but his 20-year career has given him a wealth of experience, not to mention that Kobe Bryant is the most offensive point guard position.
He can attack from any corner of the pitch and score the ball any way.
Kobe Bryant stuck Zhang Zifeng with his back, firmly controlled the ball in his hand, and slashed two steps to the inside back.
Pushing to a distance of the penalty area, Bryant stopped.
Zhang Zifeng is guessing whether Kobe Bryant chooses to continue to break through, or turn around to shoot.
Seeing Kobe Bryant's left foot step to the left, Zhang Zifeng thought to himself, turn around?
He hurriedly turned sideways to block the position.
Bryant sneered, his body turned left and turned right, then jumped backwards and leaned his body back.
Shot, a fluttering turnaround and step-back jumper, the basketball goes into the basket.
watched Kobe shoot and rewrite the score to 2:2.
Zhang Zifeng sighed, he is still the same Kobe after all. Bryant, even if he is old enough to retire, his strength should not be underestimated.
But the arrogant Zhang Zifeng, how could he back down when Kobe Bryant issued a challenge in public.
If you want to fight, I will fight!
Zhang Zifeng is high-spirited!
As for the tactics arranged by head coach Brown before the game to cooperate with Smith, Zhang Zifeng chose to forget.
Switching offense and defense, McConaughey passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng.
Zhang Zifeng faced Kobe's defense, "Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Continuous crotch dribble, a feint, and then changed direction in front of Kobe's body, accelerated like the wind, and caught up with Hibbert to make up the defense, and made a stop-and-go jump shot.
This time, Zhang Zifeng did not call for cover, and directly singled out Kobe.
Its attitude towards the battle is very obvious.
Bryant certainly wasn't going to back down, and his counterattack came immediately.
The outside line continued to cross the dribble, a large pull ball shook past Zhang Zifeng, and the ball was thrown out with a quick stop.
The whole process is very smooth and coherent, the ball is scored, the score is scored!
Kobe Bryant looked at Zhang Zifeng sharply, which seemed to say, "Hey, rookie." See, you're still far away! ”
Looking at Kobe Bryant's eyes, Zhang Zifeng's face showed an excited look.
has always been eager to compete with his former idol, and now that this wish has finally been realized, how can Zhang Zifeng not be excited.
Zhang Zifeng and Kobe Bryant were full of excitement and high morale.
Zhang Zifeng made a European step layup, and Kobe Bryant directly came to an aerial pull-up layup.
Zhang Zifeng scored a stop-and-go jumper, and Kobe Bryant leaned back with a skillful back, making Zhang Zifeng helpless.
Ball in! Ball in!
The two major scorers have started a battle of points!
The crowd was very excited to watch, and every wonderful goal won their applause.
Exclamations rang out from all sides in the arena.
The rest of the first quarter was basically covered by Zhang Zifeng and Kobe.
Both sides you into one I immediately return to the color.
Smith, who was supposed to be tonight's protagonist, and the rest of the players in it all became invisible.
After 9 minutes of scoring time, the first quarter was over!
Bryant scored 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including 2-of-3 three-pointers.
Zhang Zifeng shot 7 of 11 and 1 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 15 points in a single quarter.
Damn, I was left by my boss to work overtime tonight, and I came back late. It's just a second, and my full attendance this month is gone!
