Chapter 50: The Broken Gordon
Chapter 50: The Broken Gordon
Famar steadily brought the ball to the frontcourt, and the Los Angeles Lakers seemed to be focusing on the interior this time, and Odom took Thomas away and pulled the interior empty.
Andrew Bynum, nicknamed "Little Shark", received a hit pass from Famar, the ball passed well and just reached Bynum's chest, Bynum caught it twice, and suddenly hit Ben twice with a sudden force on his back, and then a half-turned small hook hit it steadily.
Back here, the Bulls were not to be outdone, and Gordon, who was a little explosive tonight, immediately moved back to two points with a low-post scratcher jumper in the three-second zone.
Farmar took advantage of Odom's blocking and assisted Odom's dunk to easily score two points.
On the Bulls' side, Gordon used Duhon's cover to shake off Vujacic and confront Bynum and made a successful foul, and after hitting two free throws, the Bulls still led by two points.
Vujacic saw that he was easily scored by Gordon again, naturally he couldn't stop, this time he wanted to go it alone, and then he faced Gordon's defense with a pull-up jumper, but this time the shot hit the basket and bounced out, Vujacic's face became a little unsightly.
Speaking of Vujacic may be familiar to Lakers fans, he has become an important firepower on the Lakers' bench in the past two seasons, but it was not the case at the beginning.
In the 2004 NBA Draft, Vujacic was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 27th place in the first round. He was considered talented from the moment of the draft, but unfortunately he never played and did not have any advantage in the summer league. He's too skinny, although he's more consistent with his shots.
Offense: There are mid-to-long-range baskets and beautiful shooting positions, but they are quite inconsistent and have a poor shooting percentage most of the time. The field of vision is not very wide, the passing intent is often too obvious, and there are a lot of mistakes, and there are quite a few consecutive errors. He has good breakthrough ability, but his body is too thin, and he often looks embarrassed when facing strong opponents. His offensive awareness isn't great, and it's clear that he's still not adapting to the intensity of American basketball. He often shows his talent in the game, but it's clear that he still has a lot to learn.
Defense: His defense is not very good, which is also the biggest shortcoming that has curbed his development in the NBA. Basically, there is a sense of team defense, and the opponent who repeatedly loses his own defense in the rotation position. The one-on-one defense is also not outstanding, and as long as the opponent is a little stronger or faster, he is very likely to be blown up. Lateral movement is slow, and the advantage of his height is not enough. The defensive attitude is quite positive, but it is easy to lose your mind blindly.
Physical Fitness: Superior quality among whites. He is a very popular tall point guard, not slow, and has good jumping ability. At the moment, the body is still quite thin, and although it claims to have gained 12 pounds, it is not obvious in the competition. Weak lateral movement ability.
Position: Playing SG in Europe, but because the Lakers are overcrowded at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, he is transitioning to PG when he comes to the NBA, but it doesn't seem to be very successful at the moment. His vision and passing skills are still quite immature, and the continuity of his shots has been questioned.
These are the evaluations of some media and experts on Vujacic from the outside world, and it seems that he is still more optimistic about him (and it was really good later, and he was an important substitute for Kobe Bryant's two consecutive championships)
Vujacic didn't shoot into the Bulls didn't give up a good opportunity to open the score, this time the Bulls by Saab Seforosa, who is now a small forward, once again used the off-ball block to shake off the defender, received a pass from Duhon, paused a little outside the three-point line, and shot with a skillful posture, and the basketball out of control crossed a graceful arc in the air and drilled into the Nets.
Right now
The score came to 44-39 with the Bulls leading by five points, and Bryant couldn't sit still, he had already run to the technical table to request a substitution.
Bryant replaced Vujacic, and poor Vujacic went down shortly after playing because he didn't score a solo goal.
Kobe glanced at Gu Fei and walked to Farmar's side: "Just give me the ball later." ”
Farmar listened to Kobe's words, and his heart settled down, this is the help that Kobe can give to his teammates, as long as Kobe is on the court to give him the ball and then he can watch him score, this is the deep inner consciousness of the Lakers players.
This is also Gu Fei's pursuit, and he will always achieve it one day.
Approaching the three-point line, Kobe Bryant made a move, and then received a basketball from Famar. Then he went straight to Gordon, who was actively defending.
Under Gordon's interference, Kobe Bryant completely ignored the hard-working defense, did not feel any pressure, and threw the basketball very quickly before Gordon was fully attached.
"Whew" basketball drilled into the Nets as Kobe Bryant wished.
The Bulls made a big basket and scored two points.
In the next round, Kobe Bryant faced Gordon again and received the basketball, and almost immediately after receiving it, Kobe Bryant picked up the basketball and jumped up to shoot.
We said earlier that Gordon's defense is very poor and easy to shake, and this time he was directly hit by Kobe.
Seeing Gordon being picked up, Kobe Bryant took the ball and took a step forward to shoot a jumper inside the three-point line, and Gordon, who had turned around after landing, could only watch Kobe shoot, and the ball flew into the basket again.
Look at the bull Du Hong with a shot that misses the frame.
This time, as soon as Famar dribbled past halftime, he handed the ball to Kobe Bryant without waiting for him to make a move, and Kobe Bryant is now feeling hot.
I saw Kobe dribble the ball a few times, and suddenly a large pull ball followed by a turn and left the defending Gordon behind, and there was no one to defend two meters in front, but Kobe did not shoot this time, and Dribbled the ball Kobe strode towards the inside line of the Bulls.
In the face of the former best defensive player Kobe Bryant was fearless and unrelenting, and a pause in the air not only scored the two points, but also caused a defensive foul on Big Ben, and finally added a free throw to hit the same shot.
Bryant has scored eight points on consecutive three-point attempts, while the Bulls have only scored two points, although they have one less offensive opportunity. Now the Lakers have regained the lead, albeit by just one point, 46-47.
The Bulls attacked Sefrosa to try a three-pointer again, but the basketball came out.
Bynum won the rebound, and after landing on the ground, Bynum immediately threw the ball to the frontcourt, which made the fans exclaim---- they found that Kobe Bryant had run to the Bulls half court at some point.
The basketball fell in front of Kobe, and Kobe caught up with the basketball with a hard foot, and at this time, Gordon, who was the closest to the French half and the fastest runner, also rushed back, and he pounced on Kobe Bryant, trying to stop Kobe's fast break.
Kobe Bryant's face did not change, a change of direction dribbled the ball to the right fast, Gordon immediately moved a step to the right, then Kobe suddenly held the basketball with both hands, drew an arc in the air from the left, and the feet were also folded together and jumped to the left, at this time Gordon was once again left behind by Kobe.
Facing the already empty Bulls basket, Kobe Bryant scored directly on a dunk, and Gordon failed again in the face of Kobe's defense.
The Lakers led by three points, and Scott, who saw that Kobe Bryant was already unstoppable, called a timeout.
Poor Gordon returned to the Bulls bench with a gloomy face and sat down, only to be poured down with a gulp of the drink handed by the staff, perhaps he thought that this would prevent Kobe!
