Chapter 145:-for-tat, I, Lin Mu, am not weaker than others!
"Our goal is to win the championship, and no matter which team stands in our way, the Purple and Gold will beat them without any hesitation!"
Before the game, Kobe Bryant said something like this in an interview with media reporters.
"I'm very happy about Lin Mu's growth, he deserves the Player of the Month award, the Thunder are a dynamic team, they have a lot of talented young players, Lin Mu will be a leader, and he showed us that potential in the original Nike peak training camp."
"Mercy?"
"No!"
"I'm my little brother, but the whole Lakers team is my brother!"
"There's no such thing as friendship on the pitch, and doing our best is how we respect each other."
Regarding the words in front of the camera before the competition, Lin Mu responded as a matter of course.
"Drain the water? Come on! Do you think I'm the kind of person who can release water? ”
"What?! You say Kobe Bryant releases water? Who are you insulting? You're insulting the best top scorer in our league! ”
"It's a war, listen up! It's a war! ”
"No one is going to drop a chain in such an important game, and there are many examples of the following, so get the opposition ready, keep up the spirits and be careful of losing."
Lin Mu was a little angry, together with the author, you all think the Thunder will lose to the Lakers?
Looking at the Western Conference standings, the Thunder are in fifth place and have a full four wins against the Dallas Mavericks in sixth place.
We are the giants of the West, and if you don't hear what I say, I will tell you on the pitch what real strength is!
Bryant appeared on the court, and the Staples Center erupted in extremely enthusiastic cheers, which was a welcome to the hero and a respect for the Lakers' leading star.
Tonight, Scott prepared a lot for the decisive battle between the Thunder and the Lakers, and the Thunder's starters have also changed.
Lowry sits firmly on the starting point guard as always, and the player who appears on the scoring guard is no longer Sephorosa, but has become Lin Mu.
Yes, tonight, Lin Mu will face Kobe Bryant head-on, and the best outside defender of the Thunder will fight with the sharpest sword of the opponent!
Durant returned to the familiar small forward position, with 28 cards as the big forward and Jordan Jr. sitting inside.
This is almost the strongest starter Scott can field, and it is also the Thunder's youngest and most impactful offensive and defensive deployment.
In addition to Little Jordan on the inside, every player has a certain degree of independent offensive ability, every point has super defensive talent, there is a defensive gate like Lin Mu on the outside, and Durant on the inside, forming a talented copper wall, although they are still very young, but in half a season, they have grown completely!
Little Jordan has been ravaged day and night, and now he will not be easily shaken up, and in general, he has a certain degree of trustworthiness.
The Thunder are ready for the game, from the players to the coaches, everyone is fully prepared, because they will face the strong Los Angeles and Purple and Gold Army, which are ranked first in the West!
Nothing has changed the Lakers' starters.
Point guard Fisher, this is a stable No. 1 player like an old dog, with excellent physical fitness, not enough height, and a brain player.
Scoring guard, today's strongest No. 2 player, Kobe Bryant's horror, his influence on the court is unparalleled, and he is the Lakers superstar that the Thunder pay attention to the most!
Lin Mu defended Kobe, which is enough to see how jealous the Thunder is of him.
Small forward, Odom!
The most well-rounded man, at least until James came to the league, was called Odom.
"In this life, I cut off the Khloe Kardashian who made you die in advance, don't you want to thank me?"
Lin Mu thought to himself with some evil taste.
Power forward Pau Gasol!
The last time I fought with the Lakers, it was a long time ago, when the Thunder lacked soldiers and major generals, and it was not at all as neat as it is now.
By the way, 28 cards seem to be teammates with Pau Gasol in the future, if so, can they PY a wave and let the elderly Gasol come to the Thunder to develop?
As for the Lakers' inside line, Bynum, known as the second generation of sharks, Lin Mu has only one thought: Uncle Huang, hammer him for me!
When it comes to physical talent, my little Jordan is not inferior to you!
Won't attack?
Hell, give me CP3, feed the cake, feed me to my fill!
At this point, a first-round pick wailed from the Thunder's bench.
No, they're all young players, so why don't I suddenly have a sense of existence?
Jeff Green, who came to the Thunder from the Celtics, thought he would shine on this team, but the result?
The people who came were braver than the other, and he was even ranked behind Collisson, which made him, who had great ambitions, unhappy in an instant.
I don't want you to bully people like this!
I'm also a first-round lottery, and I'm going to start too.
For Jeff Green's position in the team, Scott is really a little embarrassed.
If you play the fourth position, it is obviously not as tough as 28 cards.
Position five?
Lack of height, it's okay to make a temporary cameo, after all, it's not the era of small ball, every team will reserve a big center with a meat shield of more than 2.10 meters, Green is in front of them, it's not enough to see at all.
Small forward?
Which one is not better than you, Lin Mu or Durant?
Scoring guard....
Don't say it, the more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes!
As a result, Jeff Green's playing time with the Thunder has been cut from averaging 28 minutes per game last season to averaging 26 minutes per game this season.
Sending away so many veterans, and in the end Jeff Green's playing time has become shorter?
It's something that Thunder management can't accept, and it's something that Jeff Green himself can't accept.
However, there are too many powerful rookies on the Thunder, and there are only five positions on the court, so how can you play more time when it is overcrowded?
Trade?
Perhaps, this is a win-win situation for both parties.
There are a lot of Jeff Green's teams to look at, and how to get the most out of them is not a headache for Scott, but a problem for general manager Sam to solve.
At least, with Jeff Green on the bench, the Thunder's bench thickness has been greatly improved.
"Lin, be mentally prepared, I'll press you to the ground and rub it tonight!"
Kobe Bryant smiled and said the most ruthless words, and Lin Mu grinned, showing an expectant look.
"Friction? See if I do it or not, you're done! ”
Facing the top players in the league, unlike LeBron James of the Cavaliers, Kobe Bryant's achievements on the offensive end can be called the first in the league!
All of his moves are deceptive, and it's hard to tell what he's going to do next, and even if you know he's going to roll over in front of you, you probably won't be able to stop him.
James in the 1.0 period did not have such skilled offensive skills, so the Thunder was able to limit the play of the little emperor to a certain extent against the Cavaliers, but in the face of Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, who were stronger than the Cavaliers, the Thunder had to work hard to win a glimmer of life for themselves.
Before the start of the game, the loser will not lose the battle, Lin Mu must make the thunder full of fighting spirit, the mourning soldiers will be defeated, chicken soup is still very important in some cases.
Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Jordan Jr. helped the Thunder win the first wave of ball possession!
Lowry advanced with the ball, Lin Mu was waiting, and Kobe Bryant stood in front of him, ready to defend at any time.
handed the ball to Lin Mu, Lowry opened up the space, Kobe Bryant was close to him for a moment, and his strong body was on Lin Mu's waist, and the two players who were very familiar with each other were full of intensity at the beginning, and also set the tone for this game!
It is difficult for Lin Mu to break through Kobe's blockade line, the opponent knows himself too well, forcing himself to attack from the right side, not giving space for the left side to break through, once he accelerates the breakthrough, he will inevitably give Kobe a chance to break the ball, and his strong body is useless in the face of a defensive player like Kobe.
The easiest way is to use his height to project, Lin Mu's arm span is even better, and his shooting point is so high that even Kobe Bryant is difficult to interfere with.
"Green Sword Fairy"
But shooting has always been Lin Mu's weakness, and under such a high-intensity confrontation, the shooting percentage will become lower.
Hesitate?
No!
If you hesitate, you will lose!
If you can't take advantage of your own court advantage when aligning, why not take a break and cheer for your teammates at the water cooler!
With a firm heart, Lin Mu made a mid-to-long-distance shot in front of Kobe.
The big deal is to strike iron, anyway, standing in front of him is the iron king of history, and Lin Mu does not have any psychological burden.
Shoot!
Shoot hard for Lao Tzu!
Suddenly, even Kobe Bryant couldn't have imagined that this guy would be so decisive.
Combined with his understanding of Lin Mu and the analysis of Lin Mu in the videotape, shooting has never been his strong point, and it is decent, just the level of ordinary players.
Compared to his rebounding, defense, and calmness on the court, such a shooting performance is extremely unqualified for Lin Mu.
Just like Ben Simmons in the future, his playmaking tandem and defense on the front line are much weaker!
Of course, Lin Mu's shooting level is naturally higher than Simmons, after all, there is an empty position under the basket, and he can't pass the ball to his teammates, right?
"Brush!"
Kobe didn't have time to stretch out his hand, and Lin Mu's shooting posture had already been made.
Hit!
The first round of the athletic battle score, no one expected to end in such a way.
In the Huaxia studio, Director Zhang was already smiling.
"Oh, Kobe Bryant is a little contemptuous of Lin Mu, a top superstar, it's normal, who called Lin Mu a young man."
"I have to criticize, I am also very good friends with Kobe, I will visit him every year when I go to the NBA, facing Lin Mu today, you can't take it lightly, we Chinese players, that's quite strong!"
Listening to what Director Zhang said on the TV, a group of Chinese fans who were familiar with him looked at each other.
Weipin Bryant, is this a complete mutiny?
With Britney, don't you want Mrs. Niu?
"I'm not a mutiny, I'm doing it from my heart, after all, Lin Mu was elected Player of the Month in December, isn't it a matter of course!"
Director Zhang seemed to know the inner thoughts of the fans, and said a little mischievously.
seems to have heard Director Zhang's words, Kobe's first attack was extremely serious!
"Shoot in front of me, do you think I'm going to let you go easily?"
Kobe Bryant also took the time to say two trash words to Lin Mu.
"Bibi is crooked, beating you is the same as beating a child, if there is a kind of you, you will pass me!"
Lin Mu's words were awkward, which reminded Kobe Bryant of the previous scene of going head-to-head with Lin Mu.
As arrogant as ever, as bad as ever.
"You mouth, I have to tear you to pieces!"
Holding the ball head-on, if you want to forcibly break through Lin Mu's five-finger pass, even Kobe Bryant is a little difficult.
Case!
Kobe's business logo action, Brinell swing reappears in the rivers and lakes!
The basic principle of the move is easy to understand, which is a simple change of direction and dribbling, and every NBA player can do this, but in Kobe, you have to think more about it, because if you don't pay attention, he will attack you in different ways.
Large dribbling movements, exaggerated moves have always been Kobe's biggest characteristics, simple starting movements, shoulders swaying to the right, but the inside line of cutting is towards the other side.
Pulling the ball down with his right hand to the highest point within the rules, Kobe's eyes kept observing Lin Mu's footsteps.
"Boy, there is progress!"
Under Kobe's observation, Lin Mu's footsteps were not chaotic at all, only a small symbolic move, but blocked some of the next moves he had to make.
Very good prediction, Lin Mu's eyes were focused, how could he not be familiar with this trick of Bushi's swing?
The moves that have been blown up many times in heads-up, Lin Mu has studied many times.
The second feint!
Kobe Bryant's entire center of gravity is on the right-hand side, giving the defender a great illusion.
He's going to break through from the right?
The body sank to the right, the center of gravity shook to the right, and Lin Mu's body moved to the right side with Kobe's rhythm.
Suddenly, Kobe Bryant's body turned to the left, and at the same time, his left foot kicked hard to accelerate, and in an instant, it had changed from "shaking the left" to "cutting the right"!
Cutting Lin Mu's right-hand side defense, his right foot tried to step over Lin Mu's defense, but Kobe Bryant was surprised to find that Lin Mu was standing in front of him again.
"Old fellow, I've used the same move many times, you don't think it will work for me, do you?"
Lin Mu's face showed hideousness, but he forgot that Kobe's offensive threat was far more than that!
The same shooting posture, a handsome pull-out jumper, at the moment after Lin Mu was in place, Kobe Bryant's mid-range pull-out had already shot!
With a short time difference, even if Lin Mu can keep up with Kobe's rhythm, Kobe Bryant found the right time at the moment when Lin Mu was in place, and Lin Mu couldn't react.
A symbolic extension of his hand was not a distraction for Kobe.
At this time, you can only pray that another brilliant stroke will be added to the merit book of the Iron King of History.
"Brush!"
The ball still fell into the net in a handsome way.
"Whistle ~~~"
Kobe Bryant shook his head and stepped back, looking at Lin Mu's gaze full of provocation.
It's just a back and forth, what are you angry about?
Close the door and let Durant go!
With an exaggerated change of direction, Odom's whole person is not good.
Is this Nima's an action that a human can do?
Rao is tall, long-armed, athletic, and defensively excellent Odom, all of whom looked at Durant blankly, and there was nothing he could do.
"How's it going, my teammate is okay, right?"
It's not just a person-to-person comparison, a team-to-team comparison, a player-to-player comparison, the contest between the two has just begun, Kobe Bryant stared at his eyes wide, and he was about to start educating Lin Mu again.
