Kobe Bryant hit the first jump shot, and the Hornets fans were suddenly emotional, and they wanted Zhong Yu to return them.

When it is necessary to return a ball to the opponent, fans will always think of Zhong Yu first, which has almost become a habit.

Paul also handed the ball to Jongwook and let him do it himself.

Kobe Bryant had a long heart, because he felt that Zhong Yu's strength had improved a lot, and he was likely to be caught off guard by Zhong Yu's strength.

Zhong Yu leaned on Kobe Bryant with his back, and his movements were very similar to Kobe.

"Every time these two people face each other, they have a strange feeling." This is what a fan said, in fact, many people have thought of it. When Kobe Bryant and Zhong Yu are facing off, the performance of both sides will always give people a pleasing sense of familiarity, and the turn-over jumpers and backward jumpers of the two will look like they are out of the same school.

And it's all so pleasing to the eye.

Zhong Yu used his own strength to test Kobe, and sure enough, he found that his current physical strength was on par with Kobe. Even if Kobe Bryant is still a little more powerful than him, it is very limited.

This is indeed a great progress.

Zhong Yu turned to his left at the moment, and was about to force a breakthrough to the inside, Kobe retreated, Zhong Yu changed direction under his crotch, and his body changed direction and forcibly accelerated and cut in from Kobe's left.

When Kobe Bryant changed his center of gravity to block, Zhong Yu took another back hand change and changed direction, and the whole person jumped to the other side of the three-point line, standing, stopping, and leaning forward to shoot!

The basketball flew out softly and easily fell into the hoop.

"Peak showdown! Showdown! Yu Jia as a commentator. said a little excitedly: "Kobe Bryant and Zhong Yu, it can be said that the style of play is very close, they can both be able to jump on the outside, and they can also break through the inside line to force a dunk, every duel between them is addictive." ”

Su Qun nodded and said, "Both of them are good at outside jumpers, and their style of play is very elegant. But. It took Kobe Bryant many years to do this, but Chung Yu is only a sophomore. ”

……

The audience on the side of the stadium also cheered for Zhong Yu's "answer".

They also watched the game with relish, and the Hornets are one of the most flashy teams in the league right now. And the Lakers ...... Let's be honest. Although the Purple and Gold Army is powerful, Kobe Bryant is also an idol in the hearts of many fans, but they are really not very good-looking.

But the Hornets and Lakers met differently.

The Lakers began to fight back. Fisher dropped the ball to Gasol, Gasol mentioned a high block and pick-and-roll screen, Kobe Bryant cut the basket from the side, received Gasol's pass and threw it to Chandler for a layup, and the basketball flew into the basket after accurate calculations and just the right amount of power.

Kobe Bryant's breakthrough is again.

4-2。

In possession of the ball by the Hornets, Paul controlled the ball to the front court and handed it to West, but West got rid of the basketball, and the Lakers successfully launched a counterattack with a steal.

They hit the ball.

6-2.

Then. Both the Hornets and the Lakers missed their jump shots, both rounds, and the ball returned to the Lakers, and Bryant received the ball and forced his way inside, and then forced a jump.

It was a little late for Jong-wook to realize something.

Kobe Bryant's whole body leaned on him. The whistle blew, and Bryant successfully made a foul on Chung-wook.

One of two free throws.

7-2.

"Fouling each other on each other, and that should be a common sight in today's game." Su Qun concluded: "Kobe Bryant and Zhong Yu are both good at making fouls. However, Zhong Yu is too young and limited by his lack of experience. ”

Yu Jia said: "There is such a layer of concern. Kobe Bryant today. has already scored 5 points, but Zhong Yu has not performed much. ”

"It should be soon." Su Qun said confidently.

The fans on the sidelines couldn't hold back, because Kobe Bryant scored points one after another and caused fouls on Zhong Yu's body, which ignited the anger of the fans.

"Don't let that guy score again! Zhongyu, it's your turn! A little fan didn't care whether Zhong Yu could hear it or not, and his hand expanded into a horn shape and shouted at Zhong Yu loudly.

…,

In the court, Paul controlled the ball, stepped on the front court, stood outside the three-point line, saw Zhong Yu stretched out his left hand, knew that he was asking for the ball, and handed the basketball to Zhong Yu, he ran to the bottom corner to open up space for Zhong Yu, West mentioned the high post, ready to cover Zhong Yu or receive Zhong Yu's pass later.

"Come on...... Buddy. Bryant started trash-talking: "Didn't you say you wanted us to know what the number one in the West was?" The first in the West, is we continue to fight back, and I caused a foul? ”

For ordinary players, especially stunned young people who have just entered the league, Kobe Bryant's words can make them hot-headed and make mistakes.

Zhong Yu just smiled: "Don't worry, you won't wait long." ”

"Come on, then!" Bryant sank his center of gravity, opened his hands, and the distance he stood could block Zhongyu's jump shot at any time, so it can be said that his timing was very accurate.

Zhong Yu snorted coldly, and then suddenly changed direction, and the whole person forcibly accelerated from Kobe's left to break in.

Kobe Bryant retreated slightly, but didn't react much, he felt that this ball Zhongyu was most likely just a feint, and he had other follow-up methods.

It's just that he misjudged!

After Zhong Yu forcibly accelerated, his body had turned into a bolt of lightning, and it was a crazy lightning that destroyed and split the black clouds!

His speed was so fast that people were caught off guard, Kobe Bryant's misjudgment was out of position all of a sudden, and Zhong Yu crossed Kobe Bryant and rushed into the Lakers' interior line.

Because of West's cover, Chandler also pulled out, and the only one who could resist Zhong Yu under the basket was Gasol, who had just come back to protect the basket - Zhong Yu suddenly accelerated to directly enter the inside, but it was just a momentary thing, and it was very appropriate to describe it as electric flint.

Even if others wanted to defend, they didn't have time.

Facing Gasol, Jongwook saw his shaggy hair, gibbon-like hands, and a furrowed brow. He was like a warrior to the death.

"Drink!"

Seeing Gasol's appearance, the wildness in Zhong Yu's heart was suddenly completely stimulated, and after roaring, he jumped high two steps away from the rebound, and the person next to him was surprised by such a jump-when did Zhong Yu jump so high?

With such a jump, he rushed to the basket with a thunderous momentum. Zhong Yu's whole body also crashed towards Gasol......

"What is this for...... Separate and re-buckle? The idea flashed through the fans' subconscious, and at this time, Zhong Yu and Gasol were about to go head-to-head.

Gasol's brow furrowed even more.

"Get out of the way!" Zhong Yu had just jumped into the air. This sentence had already blurted out, and halfway through the words, Zhong Yu's momentum had reached the top!

This moment. Zhong Yu feels too sharp.

Even if there is a sword mountain fire sea oil pot in front of him, and it is a desolate universe, he can use his strongest strength to directly split and crush it!

So, Gasol was stunned by this momentum, and suddenly turned his head away, and then put his hands on his left forehead, worried that he would be accidentally injured by Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu was like this, rushing to the basket next to Gasol, who was dodging, his right hand was mixed with the strength of Yu Qianjin, and the whole person's body had been bent into an extremely graceful arc. It's like a big bow full of power.

And his right hand was pulled to the highest point behind him at this moment, and then suddenly exploded, smashing down towards the basket with all his might!

"Boom! Bang! Bang! There was an explosion, and the basket trembled violently and aggrievedly. Zhong Yu also fell from the basket, and his right fist swung heavily, followed by a long roar!

"It's so beautiful!" Chandler was also thrilled by the ball and rushed over and hugged Jongwook.

"Well done!"

"Really beautiful ......"

"Damn, Lao Tzu's heart is about to jump out......"

…,

…………

There was a lot of noise on the side of the pitch, and their chatter almost topped the roof. The storm brought by Zhongyu's slam dunk is still spreading here, and it continues to spread.

What kind of power is that? can make the basket tremble like that, what kind of momentum can make Gasol deliberately dodge and frustrate again?

"Good shot! Good ball, good ball! Yu Jia muttered these words, and he felt that his heart was constantly close to his ribs, and the violent beating was frightening.

Such a bloody slam dunk is indeed too exciting.

Kobe Bryant looked at Zhong Yu's dunk, and a nameless anger rose in his heart, and at that moment, he glanced at Gasol coldly...... Gasol shuddered when he saw Kobe's glance.

But just now, he really had to get out of the way, otherwise he was very worried that he would be injured with Zhong Yu.

Bryant's eyes also had something else, and it could be a reminiscence of the passing years - at least now, he would never be able to complete such a dunk.

"Defend! Defend! Defend! The dunk gave a heavy morale boost to the spectators and players, and the crowd's voices shouted out, reverberating wave after wave in the arena.

The Hornets also put on a lineup and faced the Lakers.

Their defense was also very good, and after Fisher broke through, he distributed the ball to Odom on the outside, and Odom didn't dare to shoot indiscriminately at this time, and passed back to Kobe.

Bryant held the ball and broke through to the left of Zhongyu, but sadly found that he couldn't complete a goal like Zhongyu, and he pulled back his body and made an outside jumper.

"Bang!" Missed jumper.

The Hornets grabbed the rebound and resumed their offense.

So far, more than 4 minutes have passed in the game, the score is 7-4, Paul got the basketball, dribbled with his crotch on the outside and waited for his teammates to get into place, and then began to break through himself.

West blocked Paul in the middle position, and after Paul broke through, Fisher and West, Paul and Gasol were left with a strange alignment, such a change of defense, Paul had no problem playing big with a small game, and Gasol didn't have much to do with him after the breakthrough, and West's jump shot was of course easier.

It's just that now Paul's breakthrough space is too small, and he can't play it, so he passes the basketball back to West.

West threw the ball to the baseline...... Zhong Yu just got out of the inside line and went to the bottom line, and at this moment, Kobe Bryant, who came to block him, was a little slower, and he could only watch the basketball fly out and fly into the basket!

7-7！

The two teams played to a draw.

Jongwook scored the Hornets' first seven points.

The Lakers called a timeout.

Back on the bench, Zhong Yu was also a little out of breath.

Of course, this is not to say that he is tired...... After a season of tempering, Zhong Yu has long been less tired than easily. It's just that just now he continued to fight with Kobe, defended with his heart, and had an earth-shattering dunk, which caused him to run out of breath quickly.

But his fitness is still fine.

Sure enough, after just over ten seconds of respite, he had largely regained his composure.

"Going forward, our defensive strategy is still a hybrid defense." Scott said: "There are a couple of points to pay attention to – cut off the connection between Kobe and Gasol, pay attention to the passing path between them, and make tackles if necessary. Also, West, you actually stay deep inside, don't give them too much space. ”

"But then Gasol will make a jumper." Westway.

Indeed, Gasol's mid-range shooting is a headache, and once Kobe Bryant establishes a relationship with him, the opponent's life will not be easy. This is also the reason why Gasol's record has improved rapidly since Gasol came to the Lakers, and he reached the Finals last season.

Gasol is indeed too versatile, shooting, assisting, rebounding...... He can do it, and it is indeed a match made in heaven to use it to play triangle tactics.

The game restarted, Odom broke inside and he started to get serious.

…,

This guy, when he's serious, is also a very famous striker in the league. He came to the free-throw line and hooked his hand, and there he did.

The Hornets' counterattack was unsuccessful, and the Lakers stepped up their interior defense, as well as the Hornets' defense against off-ball players, which made their animated basketball dead.

The Lakers regained their rhythm, and then Gasol raised the high post to cover Kobe Bryant into the interior, Kobe Bryant passed back to Gasol with a ground pass, and the Hornets had a vacancy, and Gasol immediately dunked with one hand.

The Hornets were hit on a 4-0 offensive wave.

Scott was so angry that his nose was crooked...... Just now, he was telling the players to pay attention to the connection between Gasol and Kobe Bryant and make a steal......

Who knew that it would come out all of a sudden.

However, this ball is mainly Kobe Bryant who attracts too much defensive attention when Kobe. When Bryant came to the deepest part of the basket from the middle, who would dare to remain indifferent?

…………

In the next game, the Lakers still focused on the triangle offense, and the Hornets' defense played some role.

But the Lakers also adopted a targeted defense against the Hornets, especially Zhong Yu, who often runs out of the air, and the 30-year-old Kobe Bryant is very careful to defend Zhong Yu today, and Zhong Yu's shooting percentage has also dropped a little.

In this way, the first quarter ended with both teams ending the quarter with a score of 23-19, with the Hornets temporarily trailing by 4 points.

Although the current record of the Hornets is the first in the league, it does need to be careful against a team like the Lakers.

In this preview of the Western Conference Finals, the Hornets temporarily trailed their opponents.
