Chapter 205: All-Star Weekend (8)

Joe Johnson cooperated very well with Wang Meng to block the data, but this is not over, the eastern baseline serve, in the dead ball process, other starters in the west also played, including Kobe, Durant, Howard, Griffin did not play, but the big forward was replaced by Wang Meng's teammate Pau Gasol.

The West side also replaced James Wade and others.

James fed the ball to Wade on the baseline, and Wade stepped back to shoot a jumper and threw the ball in the midst of Kobe's interference.

"Hey, Wang Meng, give me this ball, I'm going to hit it back." Kobe Bryant suddenly said this when Wang Meng was about to receive the serve.

Wang Meng nodded, "No problem, I'll pass you the ball in a while." ”

After dribbling past half court, Wang Meng broke through with the ball and successfully pulled the defensive formation of the Eastern All-Stars, and then he passed the ball to Kobe, who made a mid-range jumper and hit the basketball steadily.

Although he scored this goal, there was no joy on Kobe's face.

Wade connected with James again, and when James squeezed Durant to break into the interior, he stood on the outside and ran away, quickly shook off Kobe Bryant and received James's pass, and hit the same three-point shot.

"I'll hit the ball below." Kobe Bryant said to Wang Meng again.

"Okay, no problem, the ball will be in your hands in a while, and you can shoot comfortably without interference." Wang Meng is very happy with this efficient way of brushing assists, as long as you can hit, there is no problem with a hundred times.

"That's not what I meant." Kobe Bryant stared at Wang Meng, as serious as before, "I want to play with the ball by myself." ”

"What?" Wang Meng was stunned.

"I don't need you to pass the ball and assist, I don't need you to give me space to attack, I can go and play him alone." Bryant said, looking at Wade over there.

Wang Meng was speechless for a moment, and at the same time, the scene when Kobe Bryant was a rookie came to his mind.

That may be Kobe's first time participating in the All-Star Game, at that time Wang Meng was estimated to be still breastfeeding, at the All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant played against the basketball god Jordan, and his teammates, Karl Malone ran over to Kobe to block and dismantle, wanting to help this kid, but Kobe Bryant replied to Malone stiffly, "Take back your block, I want to go head-to-head with Jordan." ”

He almost didn't kill Malone with this sentence, you must know that at that time, Malone and Stockton's blocking and dismantling cooperation was the most terrifying offensive means in the whole league, but Kobe, who was still a rookie, dared to talk to Malone like this, or when Malone was kind enough to help.

This shows how persistent Kobe Bryant is and how he values his ability.

He asked Wang Meng for the ball now, and Wang Meng instantly understood Kobe's intentions, or what Kobe Bryant has always insisted on, he has proven his strength all his life, and now, he still has to prove himself.

Even if Wade relies on his teammates to score on his head, he has to score in Wade's hands entirely on his own.

Wang Meng fully understood Kobe's thoughts. This season, the Lakers have successively brought in Chris Paul, who can be said to be the league's No. 1 point guard, and White Howard, the league's No. 1 center, and Kobe's position as the league's No. 1 point guard has become precarious with his age. On a lot of the occasion, it's Paul and Howard who cheer loudly from fans in Los Angeles because they're younger, more firepowered, and more aggressive.

This is the pain that any player who has ever had glory must go through, time can destroy everything, Jordan tolerated the juniors to show off in front of his eyes and chose to retire, and Kobe did not do what Jordan did, he also wanted to rely on his own efforts to prove himself, to prove that the Black Mamba is not old, at least for now, he is still the king of Los Angeles.

As Kobe's original teammate, Wang Meng still knows Kobe Bryant, especially Kobe is one of the important factors for Wang Meng to enter the NBA, so Wang Meng did not object to Kobe's request, and passed the ball to Kobe when he served.

Kobe Bryant walked across the half court with the ball, looked at Wade's defense, a sneer appeared on his face, and slowly sank his waist.

Wade looked at Kobe's look, as an opponent for many years, Wade of course understands that Kobe is serious, and it is not the first time that Kobe Bryant has been serious in the All-Star Game, but Wade is not ready to let him, Wade is also the league's top scoring guard, he is not afraid of Kobe Bryant's seriousness, staring at Kobe Bryant, Wade said in his heart: "Come on, who is afraid of whom?" ”

In terms of breakthroughs, Kobe Bryant is no longer good, his current breakthrough can be said to be no threat at all, he can only rely on the change of frequency to stagger the opponent, and it is impossible to rely on this to break through a defensive master like Wade, so Kobe can only make his best moves, shaking people and then jumping.

Raised his hand on the spot and shook it, Wade didn't move at all, Kobe immediately dribbled to the left and took a step, quickly jumped back and jumped, Wade immediately followed, jumped up and interfered with Kobe, this ball Kobe Bryant with a little back, Wade himself is not as tall as Kobe, plus Kobe's back, interference did not play a role.

The basketball flew into the Nets lightly, and Kobe Bryant didn't turn his head back to the halfcourt.

Wang Meng watched the excitement from the sidelines, but he was not happy at all, although the goal was scored, but there was nothing Wang Meng did in it, that is to say, Wang Meng's data did not change. "Just this once, one game is not as long as that." Wang Meng comforted himself in his heart.

Obviously, Wang Meng is just comforting himself.

was singled by Kobe Bryant, although Wade unconsciously changed back, but Rondo was very cooperative to pass the ball to Wade, and the Eastern Conference All-Stars all pulled out of the outside.

The meaning was already obvious, and Kobe Bryant lowered his center of gravity and stared at Wade deadly.

Wade looked at Kobe Bryant but smiled, you can only rely on shooting to score in front of me, but if I want to score in front of you, I just need to break through! Dribbling made two crotch dribbles, Wade suddenly exerted force, rushed into the inside line from the right side of Kobe, Kobe Bryant immediately came over to block Wade, Wade quickly pulled back, and continued to break through from the other side.

Kobe Bryant didn't have time to react, so he immediately let Wade run over, and Wade jumped high on the inside to end the offense with a tomahawk dunk.

Kobe has no speed, but Wade is in his playing years, both explosive and impactful are very strong, although he doesn't want to admit it, but Kobe himself knows that he can't prevent Wade.

A few years ago, Kobe Bryant was one of the best outside defenders in the league, but as he got older, Kobe's strength and speed began to decline, and he gradually couldn't defend these impactful young guards.

It doesn't matter if he can't prevent me, because he can't prevent me either. Kobe Bryant was unmoved, and continued to say to Wang Meng: "I'll continue to come to the next ball." ”

"Huh?" Wang Meng was a little dumbfounded, is he really addicted? How can I have so much time to watch the two of you go head-to-head?

Kobe Bryant is the guide for Wang Meng to enter the NBA, and he is also one of the most important people who made progress during Wang Meng's period with the Lakers.

Just kidding, you're going to go heads-up endlessly, buddy, what should I do?

Wang Meng was displeased, as if he didn't hear Kobe's words, he took the serve and ran straight towards the eastern backcourt.

"Wang Meng, give me the ball, I'm going to blow up this kid!" Kobe Bryant saw that Wang Meng didn't pass the ball to him, and continued to say in a deep voice.

Wang Meng ignored Kobe, and suddenly threw the basketball in his hand high, and Howard jumped up directly on the inside, picked up the basketball and dunked it vigorously.

"Nine assists." Wang Meng counted silently in his heart.

Kobe Bryant glanced at Wang Meng deeply, didn't say anything, and walked to Howard's side without looking back, "White, grab the rebound and give me the ball in a moment." ”

Howard didn't know why, he could see that Kobe Bryant and Wang Meng had a little contradiction, Kobe was his teammate, although the ball that Wang Meng passed to him just now was very comfortable, but he still nodded, "No problem, look at me." ”

Wang Meng heard this on the side, and immediately laughed, good guy, this is preparing not to give me the ball, right, isn't it just a rebound? When I can't grab a rebound? Instant bursts are not meant to be used alone to break through.

The counterattack in the east came very quickly, Rondo managed to break through Wang Meng, and then passed the ball to Bosh, who made a mid-range jumper, which was interfered with by Gasol, and the basketball bounced off the basket.

"The rebound is mine!" Howard was overjoyed to see this, squeezed away Bydam, who was competing for a position with him under the basket, jumped high, and stretched out his hands to hold the basketball in his arms.

"Instant explosion!" Wang Meng immediately shouted in his heart, and then rushed towards Howard.

As soon as Howard touched the basketball with both hands, he saw a pair of yellow hands break into his eyes and take the basketball away in front of his eyes. "Yay?"

Snatching this rebound from Howard's head, Wang Meng didn't pause, yelled at the fast break, and then ran forward with his head down.

The five people on the court in the West now, Howard, Gasol and Kobe Bryant, are all slow-moving players, but there is another player who moves fast, and that is the Thunder's star Kevin Durant, who runs wildly, not even much slower than Wang Meng, a guard.

Wang glanced at it and found that there were three people in the Eastern All-Star defense, James Wade and Rondo, which was equivalent to 2 to 3 in the frontcourt, which was a bit troublesome.

At this time, several people had already run into the three-point line, James and others did not dare to slow down at all, as long as the speed was reduced, Wang Meng would be overtaken in an instant, but Durant stopped outside the three-point line. "Wang Meng!" Durant shouted.

Seeing this, Wang Meng hurriedly passed the ball out, in the rapid run, due to insufficient preparation time, Wang Meng's pass was rarely a little low, Durant had to bend down to receive the pass, and when he raised his head, Wade also stopped the momentum of his body and rushed towards him.

Without any pause, Durant jumped up from the three-point line, and when he made his shot, Wade was already very close to him, and Wade's outstretched hand had even blocked part of Durant's view, but for Durant, it didn't matter.

"Huh!" Listening to the familiar hollow sound, Wang Meng smiled, "Ten assists." ”
