Chapter Twenty-Three: Counterpoint Kobe
On December 9th, American time, the Kings ushered in the challenge of the Lakers, the current leader of the West, I have to say that the Lakers' ability is very strong now, every position of the team is very comprehensive, and it is not easy for the Kings to win a game on the head of the Lakers, they not only have Kobe, but also Gasol, Bynum, Odom, commonly known as the bronze four, substitute Ariza, Famar, Vujacic and other players, also have quite good strength, the old fish Fisher can also be useful, At least when it should be fouled, it is very important for the old fish to step up.
If the Lakers' current configuration is 100 points, then the current configuration of the Kings is only about 70 points, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, and the most important point is ...... Martin was injured again...... This was in yesterday's practice game, Martin broke through, then went to the basket, and when he came down, he injured his foot again, and he was a glass man...... No, it's worse than glass, you don't have to touch him, he can hurt himself himself, so today the Wizards had to put out a new lineup!
Because of the boss's request, Zhang Kong entered the starting list again, center Brad Miller, center Spencer Hawes, small forward John Salmons, scoring guard Zhang Kong, point guard Yudri, Zhang Kong said that the main role is to defend Kobe, in Ma'arouf's eyes, as long as Kobe Bryant scores 13 ...... today Then you won't lose money yourself.
The starting lineup on the Lakers' side is thunder, point guard Derrick Fisher, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Vladimir Radmanovic, power forward Pau Gasol, and center Andrew Bynum.
Although the Kings are playing at home, but before the game starts, even the Kings fans are not very optimistic that the current Kings can overturn the Lakers at home, Miller and Bynum jump ball, I have to say that although Miller does not jump high, but he really has a set of jump balls, and even before the little shark gets the ball, he gave the racket to Udri, and after Udri got the ball, he organized it, and saw that Salmons had a vacancy, so he directly handed the ball to Salmons, but unfortunately Salmons missed the jumper, However, the basketball bounced off the neck of the basket and bounced back into his hand, this time to Yudri, who hit a jumper to score two points.
Then Salmons received an assist from Miller, made a jumper from 17 feet out, and scored two more points, and the game played two minutes, and the Kings led the Lakers 4-0.
One of the Lakers' biggest tricks is that when other players don't feel good, they will give the ball to Kobe Bryant and let him play it himself.
That's what they do now, when Kobe Bryant took the ball into the half, Zhang Kong immediately defended it, in the face of Kobe, Zhang Kong didn't dare to be careless, this is his task today, to prevent Kobe, but this is unlikely.
As long as Kobe Bryant lets go of the offense now, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Kong to completely prevent him from death, all he can do is to restrain the other party, originally the court station also wanted to broadcast this game, but unfortunately because of the adjustment of the number of games, this game was not adjusted successfully, and many fans who want to watch the game can only go to the Internet to see the unclear live broadcast screen.
When Kobe Bryant and Zhang Kong were opposed, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, and now Zhang Kong has another nickname, that is, the All-Star Killer, all the superstars he has defended will be curbed to death, whether it is Kidd, DeLong or Anthony, now what appears in front of Zhang Kong is the legendary Kobe God, whether he can pass the level of the god depends on Zhang Kong's ability, Kobe, watching Zhang Kong in front of him slowly pass the ball, but his eyes are scanning around.
If it's any other defender, you'll probably have to distract yourself from the neighborhood for fear of Kobe Bryant's pass.
But Zhang Kong is sure that this guy can't pass the ball, he wants to come by himself! Kobe, in front of Zhang Kong, after showing off his crotch several times in a row, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the bottom line, and Zhang Kong, who had already seen his travel route, naturally would not be polite to him, and took a step to the right in front of him, using his own strength to squeeze Kobe Bryant and let him go to the front of the weak side.
Kobe Bryant is Kobe, when his body is almost out of balance, he can still rely on Zhang Kong, suddenly make a sudden stop, and when he is still 8 feet away from the basket, he suddenly jumps up and opens his hands to shoot.
And all this was seen in Zhang Kong's eyes, Zhang Kong deliberately jumped one step late for the other party, and at the moment when the basketball in Kobe's hand just shot, Zhang Kong had already appeared in the air, and his right hand was like a long stick, and he slapped it with his head and face.
directly slapped the basketball that Kobe had just thrown out, Salmons in the distance picked up the basketball and passed it to Udri, Udri made a three-point shot, the score was 7-0, and when Kobe Bryant retreated, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Kong, who was still slowly swaying in the backcourt, this guy gave him a sense of danger for the first time, and Phil Jackson in the distance looked at Zhang Kong and nodded. With such defensive strength, in this league, there are not no people who can block Kobe's emergency stop-up jump shot, but he doesn't have such a clean cover, as if he already knew that Kobe Bryant was going to shoot there, this guy's basketball sense of smell is terrible!
With Fisher missing a shot, Udri assisted Salmons again to make a shot, and the score became 9-2......
If it was another team, maybe the head coach would have called a timeout at this time, but in the Lakers, Phil Jackson has always been known for timeouts that others can't understand, so he didn't call, and the next ball Gasol didn't hit a jumper, in turn, Miller made a layup and hit another shot, 11-0, the Kings played extremely comfortable, and with 9 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant stood up again, dribbled the ball past half court, looked at Zhang Kong in front of him, and now he has put away his light enemy.
Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball, like a black mamba snake waiting for the right time, and looked coldly at Zhang Kong in front of him.
Zhang Kong half-squatted down, adjusting his breathing, while staring at Kobe Bryant's eyes in front of him, and saw Kobe's movements, the rest of the Lakers pulled away, and these people on the Kings team also pulled away with the Lakers.
There was enough space on the court for Zhang Kong and Kobe Bryant to go head-to-head, Kobe Bryant attacked again, dribbled under the crotch, half turned, stepped up, almost all the feints appeared on his body, although it was not as exaggerated as on the street court, but the kind of exaggeration on the street court was a pseudo-example in a regular game like the NBA, Zhang Kong followed Kobe Bryant step by step with small broken steps, although the action was not big, but he could always block the opponent's most comfortable position at the first time, Kobe Bryant looked at Zhang Kong in front of him, and suddenly accelerated, But after just taking a step, he immediately stopped, such an action is very hurtful to the knee, and it can be seen from here that Kobe Bryant really has a knee like steel, and in this case, he suddenly stopped suddenly, and then jumped up.
Watching Kobe's movements, Zhang Kong also flew up, and his right hand firmly blocked the opponent's shooting.
Kobe Bryant looked at Zhang Kong's right hand, the most comfortable and the most grasped route, which had been sealed by Zhang Kong's one hand.
Kobe Bryant could only forcibly adjust the height, the rhythm had been disrupted, plus the height was adjusted, Kobe's shot was a little outrageous, it didn't hit the basket at all, but directly smashed it on the rebound, fortunately, Paul Gasol under the basket, our sister-in-law, took the basketball one step ahead of time, and then passed to Bynum, Bynum made a jumper from six feet out, or hit the iron, and then he forcibly squeezed Miller, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then hit the layup...... finally started the Lakers' scoring panic, when he retreated, Kobe Bryant looked at Zhang Kong's expression more and more strangely, such defensive skills, he has played so many in the NBA, he has never seen ...... It's not that Zhang Kong's defense is so strong that he is used to the NBA.
It's because in the NBA game, no one will defend wholeheartedly, after all, compared with defense, offense is easier for others to remember, and it is easier to make big contracts, but there are weirdos like Zhang Kong, because he can't attack at all......
