Terry? Gerner was right, when Wen Hao hit three three-pointers in the opening forty seconds, Kobe Bryant's eyes looked at Wen Hao, and the look in his eyes looked terrifying. But this was not yet the time when he needed to explode. Wen Hao's three three-pointers only gave the Rockets a few points ahead in the opening game at best. Everyone knows that even a 10-point lead in the opening game is nothing. So it's not yet time for Kobe Bryant to get his hands dirty. Most of his attention is now on Harden.

In the first two games, he tried his best to defend Harden, and as a result, he scored 18 points in one game and 22 points in one game. That's a good statistic for the average player, but it's obviously not enough for a player like Harden who has been crowned the No. 1 quarterback. It can be seen that Kobe Bryant's defense against Harden has been successful. And Kobe's goal in this game is to keep Harden in this state. As long as Harden is prevented from death, the Rockets will have one less strong scoring point, and it will not be very difficult for the Lakers to win against the Rockets. And if this one wins, the Lakers will have an absolute 3-0 lead over the Rockets, and then the Lakers will be closer to the Western Conference championship.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant only said to the younger brother Marshall next to him: "Use your kraft candy-style defense around the front, prevent the Rockets' No. 5, and then use your offense to destroy him." ”

Marshall has been playing beside Kobe for a long time, and he has also learned Kobe's surname, and at this time his eyes showed a fierce light and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely prevent him from death." ”

So when the Rockets attacked next, Wen Hao didn't receive the ball in the backcourt, so Marshall chased Wen Hao and used a defensive defense around the front, so that he couldn't receive the ball at all.

Howard had no choice but to give the ball to Harden.

Marshall glanced at Wen Hao, then at Kobe, and said secretly in his heart: "My defense has succeeded." ”

Bryant gave Marshall an approving look and shouted, "Well done, keep defending." After saying that, Kobe Bryant stood in front of Harden and seriously went to the opposite of Harden. He must crush Harden, who challenges his name as the first quarterback, to death in this game.

At this time, Harden faced Kobe Bryant and also wanted to single out Kobe. In N**A, some juniors are like this, in the face of former superstars, they all want to show themselves, challenge superstars, and prove their worth.

Harden's right hand is handed from the crotch to the left hand, the left hand is changed to the right hand, and the right hand is dribbled from the crotch to the left hand, and this is repeated several times, and then suddenly breaks forward from the left hand, trying to create explosiveness and speed to break through Kobe.

But Kobe Bryant is not a vegetarian either, and a player like him who is so competitive that he will naturally not be bad defensively. At this time, in the face of Harden's breakthrough, he took a step back and continued to block in front of Harden.

When Harden saw Kobe Bryant retreating, he immediately stopped breaking through, took a step back abruptly, and then shot two points from the free throw line. In Harden's expectation, he has shaken Kobe Bryant away, and now it depends on whether he can shoot it.

But just as Harden made a move, Kobe Bryant suddenly tried his best to seal it.

In the expectant eyes of fans, Kobe Bryant sealed Harden. While his block doesn't look like it can affect Harden's shooting trajectory, his fingertips do touch the ball. The basketball smashed into the front of the basket, and was smashed by Nick? Young got the rebound and threw it to Marshall to start the fast break.

In Germany? There is no point guard under Anthony who does not break fast. And now the Lakers are almost all young players, and they are crazy to the frontcourt. Wen Hao chased Marshall forward fiercely. Now his physical fitness has reached 71, although it is not too fast, but Marshall's speed is not too fast, and the speed of dribbling will be a little slower, so Wen Hao is already about to catch up with Marshall.

But just as Wen Hao was frantically chasing forward, Marshall in front suddenly stopped, and Wen Hao, who was chasing after him, saw this and hurriedly stopped. If you go any further, you will definitely crash into Marshall.

Wen Hao stopped like this, but Marshall suddenly rushed forward, instantly widened the distance from Wen Hao, and then threw the ball back. Yang relayed in the air and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Wow-"

It was a goal that thrilled fans at the Staples Center.

Narrator Terry? Seeing this, Gena laughed: "Marshall, worthy of Marshall." Can it be LeBron? James praised 'passing like Kidd' and was exclaimed by ESPN pundits 'Mark? Jackson's II, are they idle? In the face of Wen Hao, who was born this season, Marshall is not afraid at all. His kraft candy-like defense made Wen Hao unable to get the ball at all, his combination of fast and slow attack, his grasp of the rhythm was very good, and the passing was not muddy. It's a blessing for the Lakers to have such a point guard. ”

Chris? Mullin nodded in agreement: "That's true, when Nash was injured and Blake was traded, Marshall became the absolute point guard of the Lakers, and his average of more than ten assists per game is also amazing. It seems that today's highlights, in addition to Kobe Bryant vs. Harden, Marshall vs. Wen Hao is also a big attraction. ”

"Marshall has a good rhythm, with Kobe Bryant pushing behind and Nash by the side, and his progress is skyrocketing. If you want to talk about rookie point guards this season, it is nothing more than Wen Hao's and Sauer. And Marshall, who takes Kobe Bryant as a role model, is naturally very unhappy with Wen Hao's pressure on him in the second half of the season. In the first two games, his performance was to beat Wen Hao, and in the third game, will he overshadow Wen Hao again? ”

This is very likely, just look at Marshall's momentum today, when Wen Hao hit three three-pointers, not only Kobe Bryant was angry, Marshall's gaze was also cold. It seems that these two must have a fight today. ”

Wen Hao heard the words of the on-site commentary, and let out a soft "hum" in his nose. It was Kobe Bryant that he was going to win in this game, and as for Marshall, he didn't have it in his eyes yet.

It's not that he's arrogant, but in the first two games, he has mastered Marshall's playing habits and style, and it's easy to beat Marshall. The reason why Marshall finally overshadowed the limelight in the first two games was only because Wen Hao suddenly lost his touch, and he seemed to be unable to shoot no matter how he throws, and the passing always seemed to be wrong.

And in this game, judging from the three three-pointers just now, Wen Hao already knew that his hand was back. And in his previous state, it would be easy to destroy Marshall.

Thinking of this, Wen Hao ran out of the backcourt to meet the ball. Marshall still used his close-quartered defense around the front, making it impossible for Wen Hao to receive the ball at all.

"Look, it's a close defense again."

"Marshall, this kid, really has a set of defense."

"Keep guarding, prevent that kid from dying."

Fans at the Staples Center were pleasantly surprised.

And the fans who must be there in every Lakers game, Oscar winner Nicholson nodded in approval: "Marshall, this kid, usually doesn't perform so energetically, when he meets the point guard of the Rockets, he is so energetic, it seems that he is really unconvinced." But that's good, that's how Marshall can prevent the Rockets' point guard. ”

And Wen Hao heard the commentary on the scene and the shouts of the fans, the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch, and he secretly said in his heart: "Go around the front, right?" Fitted huh? Let's try it. ”

The thought flashed in his heart, Wen Hao's steps to run forward suddenly stopped, and when he turned around, he ran to the front court. And Marshall saw Wen Hao suddenly running to the front, although he was a little surprised, he still followed Wen Hao to the backcourt.

At this point, Howard served to Harden, who slowly dribbled to the frontcourt. And after Wen Hao went around the inside line, he suddenly ran to the backcourt again.

When Marshall saw this, he was even more surprised: What is this kid going to do? ?

However, although Marshall understood the spirit of close defense very thoroughly, seeing Wen Hao running to the backcourt, he ran to the backcourt again. And when Wen Hao was halfway through the run, he suddenly retreated to the front court. Marshall, of course, followed up front.

At this time, Harden had already begun to practice with Kobe Bryant, and he finally won two free throws with his best foul making.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Marshall dribbled to the frontcourt, and in the face of Wen Hao's defense, he used an extremely beautiful turn to instantly shake off Wen Hao, hit the inside, and then broke through the ball and gave the ball to Kobe. Kobe Bryant hit a shot from outside the three-point line.

In retrospect, Marshall still used a close defense around the front, so that Wen Hao could not get the ball at all.

Wen Hao didn't run back and forth between the front and back courts, but he kept shuttling back and forth on the inside, and Marshall kept running with Wen Hao.

Commentator Chris on the sidelines? Mullin said: "In the first few minutes, the Rockets had no other highlights except for Wen Hao's three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning. In the matchup between Harden and Kobe, Kobe Bryant has scored 5 points and two assists in a row, while Harden only scored 4 points and no assists; In the duel between Marshall and Wen Hao, Marshall has two assists and 3 points, while Wen Hao has no other performance except for the opening 9 points. In other words, in these few minutes, the Lakers beat the Rockets, and the score has been chased to 11-15. ”

Terry? Gna said: "It's true that as you said, the Lakers played better than the Rockets in these minutes, but the strange thing is that when Marshall adopted a close defense against Wen Hao, Wen Hao suddenly seemed to be insane, constantly running in the front and back courts, and this time in the front court in circles." This was a real surprise. ”

In fact, his intention is obvious, which is to drain Marshall's physical energy. But does Wen Hao think that his physical fitness is better than Marshall's? Just look at the body type, Wen Hao's strength and endurance are not as good as Marshall's, he ran endlessly like this, and before Marshall's physical strength was exhausted, he himself ran to death first. So his style of play seems to be smart, but it's actually extremely stupid. ”

On the field, Wen Hao continued his endless running as if he hadn't heard the commentary at all-

[Busy, there is only this one change today, and there may be a change tomorrow.] (To be continued.) )
