Chapter 176: Is This the Rhythm of the Slam Dunk Contest?

After the "roaring ......" dunk was successful, Kobe Bryant ran all the way back to the backcourt, making his trademark celebration as he ran.

Kobe Bryant was still quite happy to complete this classic dunk, especially after Howard went off the court because of Gasol's mistake, this happiness was even more obvious.

"What the hell is going on today, a good game turned into a slam dunk contest, and it is very bad for the Hornets to go on like this!" Seeing that after Kobe Bryant's successful dunk, the Hornets will encourage Young to do one more one, and Williams secretly said that it was not good.

The Hornets are on the verge of declining fitness after a series of games, especially Yang Yi, who is the focus of the opponent's defense every game and consumes more energy than the average player. Now it's with the Lakers again, and I don't know when it's going to be the end.

Despite this, Williams did not stop the fat man's behavior.

Joke! Now that the Hornets are on a par with the Lakers, if they rush to stop it, it will not only hurt their morale and make their players dissatisfied; The most important thing is that the Lakers' morale has risen significantly after Kobe Bryant's performance of five hurdles and six generals. Once he stops the Hornets' will, it is equivalent to suppressing his own players for the Lakers.

He Williams would not do this kind of thing that is close to the enemy and hateful, but he is also a coach who was born as a player and knows the mentality of the players under his command now.

Since he couldn't stop it, Williams simply returned to the bench and crossed his legs, drank mineral water, and watched the fat man's performance with peace of mind. He believes that the fat man will handle everything, and even if the fat man can't handle it well, it will not be too late for him to come forward.

"Mehta, focus on defending the ONE with all your might, and don't give him another chance to break through easily." Lakers head coach D'Antoni stood on the sidelines and shouted to Waldpease after seeing the fat man holding the ball and organizing the offense.

Before the start of the game, he thought of many ways to deal with the Hornets, including blocking Yang's three-point shooting and how to cut off the connection between the fat man and the rest of the Hornets. But what he never expected was that Waldpis couldn't even defend against the fat man's attack, and it was an attack without a back hit.

Judging from Waldepais's previous reactions, D'Antoni believes that it was Waldepis who did not concentrate that gave the fat man a chance to easily break through to the inside. The first time was because he wanted to steal, but he was easily passed by Yang Yi; The second time was even more outrageous, he was standing in front of Yang Yi, but he didn't react until Yang Yi broke through. Isn't this a sign of inattention?

"Zone defense, don't give him a chance to break through to the interior easily, and don't give other Hornets a chance." At the end, D'Antoni added this sentence.

However, despite D'Antoni's words, the Hornets didn't react much. Because they are both head coaches, D'Antoni and Williams are in very different shapes.

Williams is firmly seated at the Diaoyu Tai while D'Antoni dictates what to do, and this diametrically opposed reaction gives the players on both sides...... Tsk, the difference between trust and distrust is a bit big!

The Hornets, as the representative of the league's youth army, are relatively easy to get enthusiastic, and now that the head coach trusts them so much, they are naturally more active and proactive than usual when they don't stand on the sidelines like D'Antoni to tell them how to do it.

And the average age of the Lakers' starting five tigers is 30+, and now they are being taught how to do it by the head coach, which is really embarrassing. Although the manager was right, they just didn't feel comfortable in their hearts. Besides, didn't Kobe Bryant just dunk a basket? The Lakers are still two points ahead of the Hornets!

Yang Yi came to the top of the arc near the three-point line with the ball and relied on his strong body to block Waldpis aside. His teammates also knew that he was going to play singles, and opened up space for him to play in all directions.

"Hey, the one is going solo again, can't the opening two dunks be satisfied, does he want to have another one?" In the TNT studio, Barkley laughed when he saw the fat man's movements.

Nima, this is the rhythm that doesn't take the Lakers seriously! If he really gets his third dunk successful, the Lakers' meeting will be completely lost.

If you want to prevent it, but you can't prevent it, where will the purple gold glory go!

However, Barkley likes fat people to work alone, and this kind of game commentary is exciting! Picking up a team alone is always something that fans want to see – the individual heroism is so strong that it suits his appetite.

Barkley admires the fat man, but his partner Smith disagrees.

"Charles, do you think the One is too lonely, even more solitary than Marbury, a lone wolf! Is the role of all the Hornets players on the court just to give him space to attack individually? ”

"Hey, Kenny, The One isn't as bad as you say. The enthusiasm of the Hornets players on the field is still relatively high! And The One has already completed two dunks in a row, and it's not impossible to do it again. Barkley said indifferently. Seriously, he still wants to see the fat man do another wonderful dunk!

The players in the TNT studio couldn't hear the commentary at the Staples Center, and the atmosphere on the pitch was tense as players from both sides engaged in a fierce and hard-hitting physical confrontation. Especially Waldpais, he clings to the fat man tightly and doesn't want to give the fat man another chance to break through easily.

"Hey, Mehta, your kind of defense is ineffective, I want to break through at any time. Tell you a secret, you can't tell anyone else! ”

After a pause, looking at Waldpease's serious face, Yang Yi said mysteriously: "Kobe Bryant just completed the third dunk, I'm going to dunk another one, although this is your home court, but the Hornets can't show their timidity, right?" ”

Burst! Waldpis almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood. Nima, after talking nonsense for a long time, it turned out that she still wanted to break through me and kill the inside line.

However, it was precisely because of the fat man's nonsense that Waldpis strengthened his defense and looked like he would not let the fat man break through. The most important thing is that head coach D'Antoni just said that he would strengthen the defense, and he let Yang break through, so where did he put his face?

In fact, Yang Yi didn't expect him to be angry with Waldpis in a few words, mainly to add some blockage to him. He'd already experienced the power of the Super Boots, and he had no problem breaking through Waldpis steadily.

Seeing that the offense has entered the countdown, the fat man is still chattering with Waldpais, and the Hornets on the court are a little anxious, and Gordon even wants to step forward to block the fat man.

But at this moment, Yang moved!

Seeing that Waldpis was clinging to him, and the way forward was not working, the fat man was in a hurry and thought of a clever plan to retreat. He first pushed Waldepis a little, and after pushing Waldpis a little away, he activated the super sneakers to step back, and swiped a distance from Waldpis by a body.

It's a lot easier now! With a cushioned space, the power of the Super Sneaker is even greater.

With the help of this cushioned space, Yang Yi rushed to the left with the ball and threw Waldpis behind him with a brush before he could react.

Kobe Bryant saw that the style was not good, and quickly abandoned Gordon to help defend. It's just that the fat man threw him away with a change of direction in front of his body, flew up when he was two steps away from the basket, and completed the violent dunk with one hand.

The Staples Center was silent, and everyone had one thought at this moment: Is this the rhythm of the slam dunk contest?
