Chapter 015: Parametric Melon
"Bryant, you can do better, you know I'm talking about the organization."
In the away locker room, the old monk mercilessly expressed his dissatisfaction with Kobe. In his opinion, the Lakers are obviously higher than the Nuggets in terms of strength, but now Iverson has introduced Kobe Bryant into the mistake of individual singles, which completely disrupts the Lakers' offensive system.
Bryant nodded, but didn't say a word. In his opinion, as the boss of the team, it is his right to occupy the right to shoot, and if he doesn't even have the opportunity to shoot, he can still be regarded as a boss. He didn't want the first thing people to say when they talked about this game was that he lost to Iverson on points or something like that.
"What's more, it's not that I don't pass it on, it's just that I pass it to you but you can't vote, rather than you strike iron, it's better to let me vote, at least the hit rate is guaranteed." The boss decided to go his own way.
The old monk saw Kobe's yang and yin violations, but he had no other way than to say two words of advice. After all, he can't put on a sportswear to play, or use tough means to press Kobe Bryant on the bench, if that is the case, the old monk knows that with Kobe's popularity among fans, he will be the best person to leave.
The old monk who didn't plan to burn the jade had to say coldly, "Kobe, as the core of the team, I hope you can put the team's victory or defeat above your personal success or failure, I believe that you need a championship more than the title of scoring champion."
Fifteen minutes later, the two teams changed places and fought again, and the Nuggets' first shot was hit by Anthony and Li Chen's mid-range jumper.
After scoring, Melon said to Li Chen with a smile on his face, "Cruz, you have to be careful, Allen said that he would hand over the next game to me, so I will go all out in the second half on the offensive end, and I want to use a victory as a parting gift to Allen."
Li Chen pursed his lips, shook his head helplessly, and expressed his helplessness in silence. He can only hope that Kobe Bryant can suppress his scoring**, otherwise his game will really be out of play. Bryant doesn't take into account other people's thoughts like Iverson, and what he does depends entirely on his mood.
Exchanging the ball, Kobe Bryant showed everyone his determination to go it alone with a very crisp three-point iron, and the ball bounced high and far, which disappointed Nene and Martin, who were already in a good position on the inside waiting to grab the rebound, and the ball unexpectedly arrived in Li Chen's hands.
Shots, feints, rushes into the box, small throws, hits. Anthony's lax defense gave Li Chen a chance, and the Nuggets' defensive system was caught off guard.
The Denver people have concentrated their defensive strength on Kobe, as for the defense of the rest of the Lakers, leave it to Kobe, the god of 1 defense and 4 is not less, the Nuggets still believe in the character of the boss, and the gorgeous three-point iron of the god did not disappoint the Nuggets everyone, for Li Chen's score.
"It was just an accident." Nuggets coach George Karl thinks so.
It turned out that George Karl was not wrong, and the Nuggets continued to focus on Anthony, with an inside pass to assist Martin to shoot, and a turn to dribble to the basket for a dunk, Anthony used a pass and a dunk to help the Nuggets score consecutive offenses.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant scored two points on two offenses, tying Iverson in his own scoring while helping the Nuggets successfully pull the difference to double digits.
A 10-point margin is a watershed in the NBA, meaning the difference in points between the two teams is not something that the losers need only one or two offenses to tie.
The old monk couldn't help it, and when Kobe Bryant passed by the Lakers coach's seat on his way back, the old monk told Kobe Bryant loudly, "Organize, pass, I need a win."
It seems that after tying Iverson's score, he changed his character, or the old monk was prestigious, or Iverson stopped the impact and lowered Kobe's offense**, in short, the boss seemed to have repented.
After stealing Nene's pass, Kobe Bryant, who was on the fast break, did not choose to force a layup against Anthony, but chose to pass the ball to Li Chen, who was following the fast break. Although it was a bit of a surprise, the latter managed to score two points and did not let Kobe's assist hopes be disappointed.
"Pass beautifully!" Since the boss is not alone, Li Chen is not stingy with his admiration.
Of course, some people don't think so, in a live broadcast room in China, "Pass your sister, score, you will surpass Iverson if you enter, I didn't skip class to watch you pass." "A certain 60e unabashedly expressed his dissatisfaction with his idol." But for the sake of Li Chen, forgive you."
Kobe Bryant, who is far away in the United States of America, doesn't know that a certain fan has a grudge against him, he just thinks that Li Chen is not bad, and successfully let him brush an assist, although this assist in front of a clear-eyed person cannot cover up his arbitrariness in the first half, but at least he can still deceive a large number of pseudo-fans.
"Look, who said Kobe Bryant played alone, look at the number of assists, more than Fisher, the point guard, you guys are blind." Data drives some people crazy, but data also makes some people want to go crazy.
Li Chen's shot brought the difference between the two teams back to within 10 points, and the basketball was once again in Anthony's hands.
Li Chen used his best strength to resist Anthony, who was back to him, and advanced with the ball step by step, just when he thought that Anthony, who was about to be able to defend, violated the basket for 5 seconds, Melon suddenly turned around and left Li Chen, who was still walking with all his might, behind him, and then Bynum's defense just gave a free throw to Melon.
The melon who hit the penalty shot smiled slightly apologetically at Li Chen when he returned to defense, and he also felt that this style of play was indeed a bit of a bully, a typical Barkley-style offense.
Sir Charles' most famous trick is to put his back on the defenders on both sides of the baseline, use his big ass against the opponent, and push towards the bottom of the basket like a tank. Cassell once exclaimed: "When Barkley is attacking, he puts his ass on you, and he pushes you up, and he pushes and pushes until you lose your balance, and he turns around and makes a jumper." You can't believe what you're seeing when you see him jump so high with such a heavy body, but it's true."
When Reggie Miller saw Anthony's attack, he naturally thought of the well-dressed big mouth next to him. "Charles, Anthony's attack makes me feel as if I saw the same big ass you were back then."
Sir Charles unceremoniously gave his partner a middle finger, "That's how you should play, that's the way a man should play, if Cameron keeps playing like this, I can coach him in my free time, I'm sure he will soon reach the heights I was back then." Isn't it, Kenny"?
"Well, Lord Charles, I want to say that Cameron seems to have a lot more ways of scoring than you, I remember you only have that one move, and Anthony is a well-known singles expert in the league." Kenny Smith's favorite thing to do is to go against Barkley.
"Kenny, you don't really know what it really is, because it was so easy to score at the time, and my other offensive tactics often forgot to show it, and by the time I remember it, I'm already retired. Kenny, you know, I'm never going to lie. Barkley's words were believed only by himself.
On the field, Li Chen, who was forcibly eaten, was a little helpless, this feeling of having more than enough heart and not enough strength made him very unhappy, "I have to practice my strength." After a few games, Li Chen found that it was imminent to improve his strength.
Kobe Bryant didn't seem to be able to see the savage attack of the melon, and took the initiative to hand the ball to Li Chen, wanting the little brother to return one. Because he personally guided Li Chen for a few days, Kobe Bryant believed that his little brother still had a chance.
Anthony is famous for his defensive black holes, which is also where he is often criticized, because the reason why it became a black hole is not that he can't prevent it, but because he doesn't defend well.
Li Chen took the ball and faced Anthony, carefully thinking about the training in the past few days, and constantly simulating various offensive strategies in his mind. Soon, he was seen holding the ball firmly, facing Anthony with his back, and slapping the basketball steadily at his own pace.
Suddenly an afterburner in his hand, Li Chen made a turn with his left foot as the axis, Anthony's lazy defense gave the opponent a chance, of course, it may also be that he had a misunderstanding of Li Chen's offensive means, in short, the protagonist's attack succeeded this time, and after turning around, he simply made a jump shot, and Li Chen also used the color.
"Well done," Kobe Bryant and Li Chen clapped their hands, "My guidance in the past few days has not been in vain." ”
"Although he is not yet proficient, Lee's move tells people that he can have more potential on the offensive end, and over time, I believe Lee's turnaround jumper can be more intimidating and become another big problem for defenders across the league because his shooting percentage is so high. Of course, there is no threat to this trick now, just now it was just because Anthony did not expect Li You's hand, and it is estimated that it will not be effective if he uses this method again. Reggie Miller gave an objective evaluation, indeed, Li Chen's offensive methods still need to be honed.
Although the expected Kobe Iverson peak battle did not seem to appear, fortunately, Li Chen and Anthony still faintly showed a sense of confrontation, the same small forward, the same three shots and three hits, and the same cute face, people's attention gradually shifted to these two.
Anthony did not let people's expectations be disappointed, after receiving the ball, he broke through and forced a layup, although Li Chen's speed was basically able to keep up, but his strength was really not a grade, and he was once again eaten by his opponent.
Anthony has always been good at using his strengths on the offensive end, and if he does the same on the defensive end, I believe he will definitely achieve far more than he has now. Of course, if Anthony defends seriously, he won't be the lazy, boyish, and laughing melon that people like.
Fisher took the ball, Lao Yu seemed to be very willing to fulfill the young man, and in Kobe Bryant and Li Chen, who also ran out of the vacant position, Lao Yu handed the ball to the latter, and he could see that Li Chen's hand was hot now.
Sure enough, after receiving the ball, Li Chen did not hesitate at all, and jumped up decisively to shoot, knowing that Anthony, who was hopeless in blocking, could only defend with his eyes, of course, in order to avoid being reprimanded by the coach for not defending, Melon still stretched out his arms and put on a defensive posture.
Swish! Li Chen hit an answer-ball with a three-pointer. With four shots and four hits, he and Anthony were once again on the same page. In just this quarter, Li Chen has already scored 9 points, and he only scored a total of 7 points in the entire first half, and the confrontation between Melon and Li Chen is far from over.
After two offensive and defensive transitions, Iverson passed the ball to Anthony again, and just passed the ball to the inside twice without scoring a goal, and the answer had to choose to let Anthony hold the ball and play alone, in his opinion, Anthony singled Li Chen's advantage is still obvious.
I don't know if it was his character that exploded, or if Anthony shot too much in this section and lost his character, Li Chen's defense was successful, Anthony lost his crosshair under his interference, and his shot missed the basket, Gasol grabbed the defensive rebound, announcing the end of the Nuggets' offense.
It was the Lakers' turn, since Anthony didn't hit, the old fish didn't dare to do it too obviously, and honestly handed the ball to Kobe. After taking the ball, the god did not pause, took a big step past the defenders, went around Gasol and scored the ball easily, and the difference between the two teams has been narrowed to 5 points.
Anthony finally scored, and it was a domineering dunk, three consecutive incone-sacks made Iverson choose to go on his own, like a butterfly wearing a flower and a string of players, including both Lakers players and Nuggets, Iverson in the frontcourt like a leisurely walk, lightly throwing the ball to the basket.
Perhaps the previous series of actions were too rebellious, and the basketball was very uncooperative and slid out after a circle on the basket, which made many answer fans feel a pity, after all, if the ball went in, the top of the five would not run. Fortunately, Anthony did not disappoint everyone, and while the others were still reminiscing about Iverson's gorgeous breakthrough, Melon jumped vigorously and blasted the naughty basketball back to the basket very domineeringly.
"Iverson's breakthrough plus Cameron's dunk, this ball will definitely be the best five, Allen's breakthrough in front is too gorgeous, which reminds me of when he was young, and now it's rare to see Allen's weird breakthrough, and Anthony's dunk is also good, the momentum is heavy, and the golden double guns combined to show a wonderful score for people." Kenny's comments are always so regular, and while they are orthodox, they rarely make people feel passionate.
Unlike Barkley, "Wow, I can't say anything more than that." Such a sharp style makes people speechless.
It seems that God is happy to fulfill today's audience, after an offensive failure, Li Chen stole the ball passed by Iverson to Anthony, and then ran all the way with the ball, the hard work of the first two months gave him a rich reward at this moment, throwing off everyone in front of him except the basket.
Just when everyone thought that Li Chen would choose to end the offense with a layup or dunk, to everyone's surprise, Li Chen did not choose to score, in his opinion, his ability was not enough to show everyone a gorgeous dunk. So, at the moment of jumping high, Li Chen smashed the basketball to the floor.
Bang, the basketball bounced high through Li Chen's crotch and hit the floor. At this moment, a figure suddenly arrived, caught the ball, turned 360 degrees, and poured the ball into the basket with both hands.
Rumble! The basket creaked, and the instigator still hung high on the basket. Kobe Bryant didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity, originally just to follow Li Chen out of safety, and he knew that they had given up the ball by looking at the speed of the Nuggets' defense.
The basketball bounced almost vertically after hitting the ground, Kobe Bryant knew Li Chen's intention at this moment, and instantly increased to the maximum speed, when the basketball fell, Kobe caught the ball and then a 360 turn, and then his waist was slightly forced, and he dunked with both hands at the moment of stagnation, and the basketball was irresistibly sent to the basket.
"Wow, I can't say anything more than that." Barkley once again developed his funny style, and in the face of the silence, his words set off the passion of the audience.
Kobe Bryant hugged Li Chen's head tightly, "It's so beautiful, boy, I dare to say that this ball Nash is not as beautiful as you, how did you do it"?
"Haha", although he didn't dunk in person, he knew that his assists would definitely not be inferior to Kobe's slam dunk. The camera replay found that Li Chen did not look back from beginning to end, and no one knew how he saw Kobe Bryant behind him, so he jumped up very decisively and smashed the ball to the floor.
If Kobe Bryant wasn't there, it might have been the biggest joke on the court this quarter, but because Kobe was behind him, this goal was the best five, and it was not inferior to the combination of Iverson and Anthony just now, and even surpassed.
12 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, Li Chen was replaced by the old monk after obtaining such data, and the applause of the audience could not be seen at all that this was away from home, and Li Chen's popularity in Denver can be imagined.
Anthony also had 16 points, 1 assist and 3 rebounds in this quarter, and he and Li Chen worked together to deliver a wonderful third quarter for the audience. originally thought that the third quarter would continue the battle between Kobe Bryant and Iverson, but what the audience saw was Li Chen and Melon needles facing Maimang, although it was not as expected, but the excited people still screamed happily one by one.
