Chapter 382: As Yesterday
Just when Director Zhang and the fans in front of the TV were expecting Lu to laugh, he dribbled to the front court and passed the ball to Kobe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to ask for the ball! Laughing wind is not nonsense! β
Director Zhang really deserved to be an experienced commentator, so he came back with a light sentence, and continued to explain:
"Hehe, Ray Allen's rank is higher than Kobe's! Every time he faces Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant will play very hard! β
"Yes, both of them are the 96 golden generation, Kobe Bryant is the 13th pick, and Ray Allen is the 5th pick."
Yu Jia was also full of tacit understanding, and immediately supplemented the professional data for Coach Zhang.
However, the next sentence of Zhang's guidance exposed his lack of data:
"Kobe Bryant made 12 three-pointers in that game, and the opponent was the SuperSonics! Kobe Bryant is this kind of character, aren't you the three-point king? Then I prefer to defeat you with the means you are best at, which in martial arts novels is called 'giving back to the other in the way of the other'. β
"Ah, it seems that Ray Allen hadn't reached supersonic speed at that time!"
Yu Jia exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but tell the truth.
Director Zhang didn't feel embarrassed, and still said lightly:
"Oh, that might be my mistake!"
As for what "the way of the other is given to the other", has it been said?
In the face of Ray Allen's personal defense, Kobe Bryant held the ball on the right wing, and suddenly accelerated, not completely getting rid of Ray Allen, seeing that there was someone on the supersonic inner line to make up for the defense, he came to an emergency stop, leaned on Ray Allen, stepped back with his right foot, and then stepped back.
"Okay, Kobe Bryant's pull-back jumper, there you have it! Hey, alas, it's just a little bit! This ball is so beautiful! This action is what Kobe Bryant can do so beautifully! Laughing Wind should be able to do it too! β
Kobe's best offensive means is very difficult, Ray Allen reached out and sealed his face, the basketball popped out of the frame, and Evans won the rebound.
Lu Xiaofeng had the opportunity to rush to grab the rebounds in the front court, but he had no fighting spirit in his heart, and he had no desire to perform, so he lazy himself, standing at the top of the arc, watching Kobe Bryant miss the shot, and the opponent won the rebound, he mechanically stepped back, and the speed of returning to defense was not slow.
Kobe Bryant did compete with Ray Allen, and when he returned to the defensive end, he clung to Ray Allen, who tried to run twice, but failed to get rid of Kobe's defense, and ran to the bottom right corner to stop.
On the left side, Lewis leaned on Butler to be in the position of the three-point line, and Redno was still worried about Lu Xiaofeng's steal, so he shook it for a while before passing the ball in.
Lu Xiaofeng was very honest and decent, one step away from Ridno, he didn't shake up, but Ridno also interfered when he passed the ball, but he didn't break the ball.
Ridno passed the ball and moved to the top of the arc, and Lu Xiaofeng followed him to the left end of the free throw line, without the intention of wrapping up.
Lewis singled Butler, there is a height advantage, he took the ball with his back, looked back, and found that his teammates were empty, and the Lakers players followed their teammates to the weak side, forming a one-on-one situation.
Lewis starts dribbling and backs Butler.
Butler defended very hard, stubbornly withstanding Lewis, and Lewis's power did not seem to have an advantage.
One or two times, Lewis failed to push Butler, suddenly turned back, stepped back one after another, and was about to collect the ball.
"Smack!"
Butler's eyes were quick, and he suddenly made a shot and slapped the basketball on the ball, and as soon as Lewis collected the ball and raised it to his waist, the basketball was slapped down by Butler.
The referee standing outside the baseline, close at hand, should have seen it clearly, thought it was a good defense, and did not blow the whistle.
The basketball hit Lewis's waist and bounced off the left three-point line, but Lewis reacted quickly enough to turn and chase away.
Butler may have thought the ball would go out of bounds, or perhaps he was relieved after a successful defense, and although he also ran out with Lewis, his feet were noticeably slower.
As the saying goes, "the hard-working man pays off", this ball really let Lewis catch up, the basketball just popped up the three-point line, he reached out and grabbed it, and at the same time his left foot also went out of the three-point line.
In fact, with such a toss, the supersonic offensive time is running out, and on the 24-second timer, the number has become "3".
Lewis turned around and found that Butler was still two steps away, not sticking to himself, but had a chance to shoot, and he didn't allow him to think too much, Lewis decisively retracted his legs and jumped, and shot.
At the last moment, Butler, who saw Lewis shooting, rushed to him, straightened his arm, and blocked it in front of his eyes, trying to interfere with his vision.
"Huh!"
"Toot!"
The sound of the basketball entering the net and the 24-second bell rang almost at the same time, and the scene was jubilant again.
"Hey! It's a pity! It's just a little bit! Almost prevented a 24-second violation! At the last moment, Butler was careless! β
In Director Zhang's regretful voice, Butler couldn't help but shake his head in annoyance, tonight's Lewis felt a little hanging!
"The score came to 9-0. The SuperSonics scored 3 three-pointers in a row, and the Lakers haven't scored yet! I believe that Kobe and Lu Xiaofeng will respond! β
When Lu Xiaofeng dribbled and strode forward, on the commentary bench on the sidelines, Kenny Smith also began to tease Barkley.
"Charles, it's 9:0, I think you should get your wallet out."
"Hey! Kenny, you're so naΓ―ve! It's only 3 three-pointers! Have you forgotten? Lu 1 time, you can score 8 threes! Look, I'm betting he's going to score right away! β
Barkley will not show weakness, exaggerated counterattack, seeing Odom on the court coming up to block the demolition, Lu Xiaofeng faced Evans's delay in the grab, an acceleration to get rid of, there was a chance, Barkley shouted excitedly.
However, outside the three-point line on the left wing, Lu Xiaofeng, who had a three-point opportunity, did not shoot, but continued to dribble and burst in.
"Okay, Xiaofeng didn't throw indiscriminately, at this time, it is to ......"
Director Zhang's touted words, halfway through, he couldn't go on, Lu Xiaofeng didn't give him face again, and when he was halfway through, he found that Lewis, who was defending from the bottom line, recycled the defense, and he immediately passed the ball out.
However, Director Zhang, who saw this scene, immediately became excited again:
"Good shot! As soon as he made a sudden pass, Butler immediately had a chance, and it was reasonable for Xiaofeng to play! β
"Okay, Butler didn't hesitate, he took the ball and shot, three points! Ah! It's a pity! Didn't go in! The Lakers didn't feel good today! β
Yu Jia's explanation is relatively objective, just stating the facts, but there is nothing exciting.
Butler shot decisively, Lu Xiaofeng's breakthrough pass, even if he can't shoot, he still has a great chance to grab the rebound in the front court!
However, Lu Xiaofeng passed the ball, but stopped, and did not mean to rush to grab the rebound.
When the basketball smashed on the basket and rebounded back, Lu Xiaofeng did not grab the best position, and Lewis, who turned around, won the rebound.
"Although the goal didn't go in, Xiaofeng's choice is very reasonable! If you rush in, the opponent will definitely retract to protect the basket, and then pass it out at this time, which is a great opportunity. It's called 'play-maker', and the ability to create opportunities for teammates is second to none. β
Director Zhang continued to blow, but Yu Jia couldn't help but exclaim:
"Oh! Ray Allen, it's in again! Three points? Fortunately, I stepped on the line, this is a two-point! At the beginning of the game, the SuperSonics beat the Lakers 11:0, the Lakers were in trouble, and Tang Shuai asked for a timeout. β
If it is one-on-one, Kobe Bryant will definitely be able to prevent Ray Allen from dying, because whether it is height and weight, or foot movement, or speed and explosiveness, Kobe Bryant has an all-round advantage, and Ray Allen, who has the ball in his hand, wants to play Kobe Bryant alone, and he is not sure at all.
But the basketball game is a five-on-five team game, both offense and defense, there are tactics, and attacking the other's weaknesses with one's own strengths is the same principle of the ancient and modern soldiers.
Ray Allen also has his advantages in the face of Kobe, one is the ability to shoot when he catches the ball, and the other is the ability to run flexibly.
Taking advantage of the cover of his teammates, Ray Allen continued to run and finally got rid of Kobe, received the ball in the bottom right corner, and hit a jumper.
Kobe, who has been selected for the best defensive team many times, has a proven defensive ability, whether it is one-on-one or assisted defense, it is the top level, but what he is not good at is defending players like Ray Allen, and his running ability is a weakness.
Picking up the basketball that fell from the basket under the basket, Bryant couldn't help but slam the ball the floor. At this moment, he thought of the humiliating finals half a year ago, and thought of the Hamilton who made him tired, who was also a scoring guard from the University of Connecticut, they were really too slippery, they could run and shoot, they were too difficult to defend, and they were simply his nemesis.
In Lu Xiaofeng's memory, these two scoring guards from the University of Connecticut were both in the finals, and the pain of Kobe Bryant's failure was indeed his nemesis.
As soon as the opening game was beaten 11:0 by the opponent, Tang Shuai couldn't sit still anymore and took the initiative to apply for a timeout.
There is nothing to say about defense, the Lakers' defense is just like that, no matter how hard you try, it won't have much effect, and the hot feeling of supersonic can't last forever. But on the offensive end, the Lakers are so abnormal that something has to change.
