Chapter 170: Eagle and Snake Battle
The Hawks' star is called the Hawks, just as the Raptors' star is called the Dragon King, and the Timberwolves' home court is called the Wolf King. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the Lakers' star Kobe Bryant has a nickname of Black Mamba.
Eagle King Joe Johnson faced off against Black Mamba Bryant, and a Hawk and Snake battle began.
The eagle and the snake are natural predators in nature, and both sides are high-end predators, and whichever side is stronger can defeat the other. There are also many such descriptions in Chinese martial arts novels, the most famous is the eagle snake battle in "The Condor Heroes", but the winner of that battle is the Condor, and the snake was not only killed by the eagle, but even the snake gall has become Yang Guo's treasure to increase internal strength.
However, today's big game is obviously not the result, and there is no scoring guard in the NBA who dares to say that he is better than Kobe. Joe Johnson is no exception, he is a little taller than Kobe, but in terms of scoring ability, Joe Johnson is inferior to Kobe.
In this game, Wu Di thought that he would be the breakthrough point to defeat the Eagles. But as soon as the game began, Kobe Bryant exploded!
He is faster than Joe Johnson, constantly breaking through Joe Johnson and hitting the Eagles' interior line. And Joe Johnson used his height to shoot from the outside, and the two were tied for a while.
Kobe Bryant is fast, and it is easy to break through Joe Johnson, you must know that the Hawk King is also an all-star figure, and today he was helpless by Kobe, which shows how terrible Kobe's outburst is.
Joe Johnson also knew that Kobe was in good shape today, and he didn't dare to fight hard with Kobe. To be able to become the king of the eagles and a star with an average score of around 25 per game, Joe Johnson's IQ is still good.
Kobe Bryant has been defending the lineup for many years, although there is some moisture in it, but that moisture is not that Kobe Bryant's ability is a problem, but that Kobe Bryant has not been able to defend for a while. Inability and lack of effort are two concepts, no effort is reserved, and no ability is really not good.
In other words, Kobi's defensive ability is good enough to be selected as a defensive team. Everyone knows that Kobe Bryant plays like Jordan, Jordan's outside defense is very strong, and Kobe's outside defense has also been practiced with hard work.
In normal form, Kobe Bryant rarely focuses on the defensive end, but now that Kobe is in great shape, Joe Johnson will not bet that Kobe Bryant will not be serious about defense.
Careless Jingzhou is not uncommon in the NBA, and the famous Maddie moment is one such example. Maddie is very good defensively, but he has rarely focused on defense since he became a leading player. But when he's in good shape, his defensive ability improves, and one day, Maddie's moment is born.
Joe Johnson cautiously asked his teammates to help him block Kobe Bryant, and specialized in running open shots.
The rest of the Hawks' players are in decent shape, and Al Horford and Bynum are also inseparable. Gasol wasn't in the right shape today, and Josh Smith was also half-hearted. Wu Di's state is okay, and he can strengthen Morris Evans.
Morris Evans actually played in the No. 2 position, his height was only 196cm, and playing the No. 3 position was a disadvantage to Wu Di. But Kobe Bryant is in good shape today, and the Hawks don't worry about letting him defend Kobe, for fear of being thrown into a sieve by Kobe.
As for Wu Di, the eagle is not very afraid, because Wu Di's state has not been very good recently, and many media are saying that Wu Di is proud of his recent achievements and does not train seriously.
Wu Di was indeed in a bad state during this time, except for when he was bursting with his hand, the rest of the games were at most more than ten points, which seriously lowered Wu Di's average points per game.
In the second quarter, the Zen master adjusted the lineup, Wu Di went to rest, and the court immediately became a showdown between Kobe Bryant and Joe Johnson. The two didn't just score on their own, they also assisted their teammates, and the two sides played an offensive battle.
Bryant broke through Joe Johnson, drew the defense and assisted on Bynum's dunk. Joe Johnson and Josh Smith made two blocks to lure Gasol away and pass back to Josh Smith, who scored on a mid-range shot......
The fans on the sidelines enjoyed watching it, although it was much worse than the All-Star Game two days ago, but such a fluid offense was unseen.
After Kobe Bryant and Joe Johnson are off the court, the Eagle and Snake battle is temporarily over, and the two sides seem to have a draw from the current point of view. Bryant had 22 points and 8 assists, Joe Johnson had 23 points and 7 assists, and Joe Johnson relied on three-pointers to score more, but both scored high points in the half.
Wu Di began to take the Lakers' bench bandits on the court to harvest, Pekovic, Brad Miller, Sun Yue are all well-known bench bandits in the league, as long as Wu Di is willing to pass, these three will definitely be able to score double-doubles. Scoring double-doubles is a very good thing for rotation players, you must know that Pekovic and Sun Yue's positioning is still defensive players.
The Hawks' bench lineup was weaker, and in the face of the Lakers' high-intensity defense, it immediately collapsed and was quickly pulled away.
By the time Kobe Bryant came on the court in the third quarter, the Lakers already had a 10-point lead.
After having the advantage, Kobe Bryant immediately switched to Wu Di to defend, and Joe Johnson defended Wu Di, and he began to focus more on the offensive end.
Joe Johnson was suddenly reversed, and he made two mistakes in quick succession. He didn't expect Wu Di's arm span to be so much longer than Kobe, and Wu Di was stopped by Wu Di on two consecutive passes, pushing the eagle into the abyss at the first step.
Bryant, who focused all his attention on the offensive end, was even more terrifying, shooting from beyond the three-point line in a row. Joe Johnson was able to defend in time, and Kobe Bryant stepped back, and shot directly if he didn't defend himself.
The Hawks had bad luck today, not only did Marvin Williams hurt me, but I also thought Kobe Bryant was bursting. In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the difference came to 20 points, and the Hawks could only raise their hands to surrender.
The Eagle Snake battle also ended in a big victory for the Black Mamba, with Bryant getting a big double-double and 46 points and 12 assists. Eagle King Joe Johnson was limited by Wu Di and only scored 34 points and 8 assists, although it is still very high, but it is still a step worse than Kobe.
There can be such a gap, or thanks to Wu Di's defense, now Wu Di has been hailed as the Lakers' No. 1 defensive giant, and Kobe Bryant has been compared. And Wu Di is also in the first place on the list of the best defensive players, with 3.6 blocks and 3.2 steals, which crushes Howard to the bottom of him.
On the 19th, the Lakers took a bus to Golden State to fight the Warriors, and Wu Di returned to normal state to help the Lakers defeat the Warriors.
On the 21st, the Lakers returned to their home court, and Bynum was injured during training and needed to rest for two months, and it is estimated that he will be able to return before the playoffs.
Pekovic started the game and immediately performed well, sending four blocks in a single game, scaring the Hornets from the outside into the interior.
The rest of the Lakers also performed well, successfully completing revenge on the Hornets, completing the All-Star and winning three in a row. Pekovic also relieved the Lakers, who had lost the inside gate, at least not that the interior was unavailable.
When you play some tall centers, you can also let Gasol and Pekovic switch defenses, and there is no big problem in surviving these two months.
On the 23rd, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves. On the 25th, it defeated the weak brigade Thunder. On the 27th, he once again defeated the Suns, who were still trying new tactics, and won six consecutive victories.
