Chapter 303: Drift Shot

Although the offense on the Pacers' side was not smooth, the offense on the Lakers' side was even more unsmooth, and there was no offense on either side for several consecutive rounds before the opening, but this was the home court after all, and when attacking in the fourth round, Bynum shook off Hibbert with a feint, although the layup did not score, but the referee gave Hibbert a foul and gave Bynum two free throws.

Seeing the referee's decision, there was nothing the Pacers could do, only Granger, as the boss of the team, went up to talk to the referee on duty for a while, and the referee didn't say much, after all, he also knew that the penalty was not right.

But after all, it's the Lakers' home court, and the home whistle still has to be there! Seeing that the home team has not scored for such a long time, the pressure on the referee is not small, and when Bynum hit the referee's two free throws, it only aroused the fighting spirit of the Pacers.

In the next attack, Zhang Kong dribbled the ball past half court, and in front of Kobe, he directly slammed into a three-point shot!

Coming back to the score in one fell swoop, and then Granger hit back-to-back three-pointers, the kid has been out of whack lately.

Coupled with Al Jefferson's single Gasol jumper on the inside, the Pacers had an 11-2 score**, which directly beat the Lakers! Seeing that his side was attacking so poorly, Phil Jackson's face was a little unbearable.

At the same time, he also looked at Kobe Bryant next to him, among the four balls, although Zhang Kong only hit one, but the other three balls were passed by him, one indirect assist, two direct assists, Al Jefferson's back single is not counted in the assist.

Now the Lakers need a consistent scoring point, and if Kobe Bryant's finger hadn't broken his finger, he might be the most consistent point, and he tried his touch just now, and he didn't have too many good chances under Dundee Jones' defense.

And he is also afraid of hitting his own injuries, so Kobe's offensive ability is now greatly hindered.

After the pause came back, the Lakers also thought of a temporary solution, that is, to rely on the inside line to attack, Bynum, Gasol, are the super core of the interior offense, Gasol is recently impacting the 90-level hurdle, although for his age, this hurdle is unlikely to rush over, but with the Lakers' overall tactics, his role in the team is definitely not as simple as the 89th level, with Gasol's Bynum's continuous offense, the Lakers are still able to withstand the attack of the Pacers, The Lakers' interior offense was profitable, but the Pacers' three points were like rain, and the Pacers, who had been holding back for a long time, finally found the feeling of the original three-point rain on the Lakers' home court, this quarter they threw ten three-point shots, hit seven, and scored 21 points with just three points, coupled with the offense of other players, so that the Pacers led the Lakers by six points at 33-27 on the road into the second half, and Kobe Bryant was completely limited by Dundee Jones in the first quarter of the game, shooting 0 of 4, only relying on the help of the referee, He scored six points on the free throws, while Bynums scored seven points on the inside.

Although Hibbert has the advantage of height, it doesn't seem so easy to defend against Bynum.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, it was the playing time of the benches, Shannon Brown became a strong player on the Lakers' bench, his breakthrough and dunk were indeed very morale-boosting, and now the Pacers are most lacking in such players, unable to increase morale.

And Zhang Kong didn't add points before he beat the Lakers, in fact, even if he added points, he wouldn't add them to the dunk.

Although there are also a lot of excellent players on the bench on the Pacers' side, and they hit one after another under the leadership of Murphy, but except for Murphy, other people are really not very good, especially Dunleavy, this guy feels really cold today.

The Lakers' bench group, led by Pau Gasol, played a wave of 14-6 small **, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, becoming 41-39, and the Pacers helplessly shouted a timeout and had to change the main players to the court.

Zhang Kong just returned to the court after a three-minute break, there is no way, the current Pacers rely too much on Zhang Kong!

After Zhang Kong came on the field, the team's offense and defense immediately improved, according to the on-site commentator Magic Johnson said, Zhang Kong, a player, has such an instant effect, and his instant effect is very terrible!

He's on the court and he's not on the court, the Pacers are completely two teams, if there's Zhang Kong dependence, if Zhang Kong is still with the Pacers next season, it's okay, if Zhang Kong leaves, the Pacers will be looking for someone to be Zhang Kong's backup.

Now no one knows about this, and everyone knows that Zhang Kong is very powerful now.

The Pacers quickly transformed after Zhang Kong came on the court, and Zhang Kong is the kind of player who can help his teammates become stronger.

After Zhang Kong came on the court, he first assisted Murphy to hit a three-point shot, then assisted Milicic to make a layup, and then broke through to attract the bag, and then indirectly assisted Earl Watson to hit a shot, and he rushed into the interior and dunked one on Gasol's head!

With Zhang Kong's strong return, the Pacers immediately played a wave of 11-3 small **, directly turning the score that was still two points behind just now into 50-44, overtaking the opponent by 6 points, seeing such a situation, the Lakers had to call another timeout.

Today's game is a great sight to watch for those neutral fans who don't have die-hard football! Both teams played wide opens.

Constant dunks and unreasonable three-pointers, the first eighteen minutes of the game piled up extremely gorgeous, today Phil Jackson didn't dare to play any metaphysics, seeing that his side was about to collapse, he immediately called a timeout, if the Pacers pulled the score to more than ten points, it would be difficult to do! After the timeout, Bryant immediately returned to the court.

Now he is the anchor of the Lakers, Shannon Brown dribbled the ball past half court, and then handed it to Kobe, Kobe Bryant just fell into position, Zhang Kong guarded it, Dundee Jones was still resting off the court at this time, Granger and Dunleavy were on the court.

Neither of these two guys can defend Kobe, so they need Zhang Kong to come over to defend Kobe, and when he saw Zhang Kong's arm stretched, Kobe knew that he wanted to force Zhang Kong, and there was almost no possibility of his surname, and the injury on his finger was still there.

It's just that after wrapping the tape and wearing the finger guard, the broken bone will not deteriorate again for the time being, Kobe understands that although his injury sounds terrifying, it is actually not too serious an injury, but if he has surgery, it is very likely that he will be reimbursed this season, so now Kobe has not been concerned about the injury on his hand here.

Zhang Kong looked at Kobe, he would not pity the famous black mamba in the league in front of him, if Zhang Kong pitied Kobe, it would be a fable, the farmer and the snake! The more Zhang Kong pitied it, the more it would bite Zhang Kong, and this bite was enough to kill.

In the face of such a player, Zhang Kong will never back down on the court, seeing Zhang Kong's eyes burning with heroic fighting spirit, Kobe licked his lips calmly, he has also tried to use trash talk to distract Zhang Kong before, but the effect is almost zero.

In addition to making his mouth dry, there is no other effect, so he knows that if he wants to pass Zhang Kong, he can only rely on his ability! Bryant handed the ball to his right hand, and suddenly he accelerated and rushed towards Zhang Kong's left.

Zhang Kong, who had already seen Kobe's movements with prediction, appeared in front of Kobe for the first time, and stubbornly used his chest against Kobe Bryant to squeeze him out, and Kobe Bryant also used his speed and rhythm to change, and kept controlling his body and still within his shooting range, and finally Kobe Bryant came to his shooting point, and jumped up directly without looking at Zhang Kong in front of him.

Seeing Kobe Bryant jumping up in front of him, Zhang Kong did not hesitate, jumped up directly, blocking Kobe's face with one hand, and wanted to cover the ball in Kobe's hand with one hand, he knew that there was no way to restrict Kobe Bryant with his half-tone face-blocking tactics, Kobe Bryant could definitely see the basket from his hand, and the main thing to block his face was to cover his ball, but Zhang Kong still ignored one thing, just when Zhang Kong thought that this ball would definitely be able to be defended.

Kobe Bryant's body changed in the air, and his body, which was originally straight up and down, suddenly moved to the side.

"Say! Drift shots! Zhang Kong saw Kobe's entire body moving outside the bottom line like this, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

Yes, such a counterintuitive shot is Kobe's famous trick, drift shooting! It's also Kobe's nirvana!

Seeing that his hand could no longer block Kobe, and the other hand had no way to block the offensive route of Kobe's basketball in his hand, Zhang Kong's heart couldn't help but feel helpless, this ball Zhang Kong had no way at all...... He can't fly with Kobe Bryant, even if he wants to fly, he can't fly! This trick can be learned not by caste.

watched Kobe Bryant just leave his control, and then at the moment when he was about to fly off the baseline, Kobe threw the ball out of his hand, and after the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, it went directly into the basket, and Kobe flew off the court.

"Brush ......" "Bang!" The previous sound is the movement of the basketball brushing into the basket, and the latter sound is the sound of Kobe smashing the fans next to him, seeing that Kobe Bryant has scored the ball, Zhang Kong can only shake his head helplessly, not that he is not good at defense, but that the opponent is too strong! This ball was Bryant's first hit in this game, and Phil Jackson's eyes couldn't help but flash a glimpse of sharpness when he saw this ball hit, and it seemed that this empty defense was not invulnerable.
