Chapter 52: Discriminatory Gestures

At the referee's whistle, the Lakers' away game against the Nuggets officially began.

The ball flew out of Fisher's hands, Bryant took it on the left wing, and Carmelo Anthony defended it in the first place. He is definitely not an active defender, and the true efficiency of the defense is a monstrous -2.4. The Suns' Steve Nash is nicknamed "Na Bu Fen", which is also the value.

However, when he saw Kobe, he showed a strong desire to defend.

Bryant calmly dribbled and watched Anthony's defense. Carrying the basket and deceiving himself, he entered near the left high post, and after another physical confrontation, Kobe Bryant turned forward to complete a mid-range jumper!

Easily, Anthony was left looking at Kobe's back with unwilling eyes.

Li Wan, who was sitting on the sidelines, had to admit that Kobe Bryant was indeed a master of back-to-back singles, very good at observing opponents, and his steps were too delicate.

At the same time as forming a physical confrontation with Anthony in the high position, he also took a step forward, successfully opened up the space, and found an opportunity to shoot.

This is mainly to take advantage of Anthony's weakness of slow lateral movement, Kobe Bryant took that step to form a shot space, and when Anthony reacted again, it was too late.

Don't look at the fact that he has been fighting against Kobe Bryant before, in fact, in the last moment, he almost did not form any interference.

The Nuggets were quick to respond, with Allen Iverson "dangling across the sky" and scoring a layup. The whole world knows that Aaron Iverson plays on the right side, but it just can't stop him from breaking through.

Fisher froze in place, only to feel a gust of fresh air, and by the time he reacted, Allen Iverson had already defended himself in the midst of the uproar of the audience.

"It seems that tonight is destined to be a big battle!"

The two sides leaned on the core of their respective teams, and with such a crisp goal, Kenny Smith's eyes suddenly became a lot more excited.

"Defense wins the game, offense wins popularity", the San Antonio Spurs, who won the three championships in 03, 05 and 07, are still not as high as the Suns or Warriors. The best thing about basketball is offense.

Unless it is an era of "aesthetic fatigue" for the offense.

Kenny Smith doesn't think there will be such times.

Bynum holds the ball under the basket, makes a sudden forward turn, and scores with a hook hand. As he had hoped, it was another goal scored by individual ability.

"The Nuggets fight back!"

Before he could comment on the "little shark", the Nuggets had already brought the ball to the Lakers' defense zone on the court, and the whole process took less than 3 seconds.

Nuggets head coach George Karl on the sidelines was still dissatisfied. It seems that the speed of the ball is not fast enough.

Carmelo Anthony holds the ball outside the left three-point line. Allen Iverson stood on the other side with his hands crossed on his waist, giving him space to single Kobe Bryant. As a recognized singles master in the league, Carmelo Anthony is also proficient in wing singles, especially the "triple threat" after holding the ball, which makes him use it perfectly.

Before Anthony received the ball in this round, Kobe Bryant had already seen the intention, and pressed him while receiving the ball, forcing him to only receive the ball with his back, but after getting the ball, Anthony turned around and adjusted the "triple threat" posture, made a tentative step with his right foot between Kobe's legs, and relied on tonnage to confront Kobe. Failing to squeeze Kobe Bryant, Anthony held the ball in his left hand, fought again, used his right foot forward and his body forward to create space, stepped back and made a three-point shot, and the ball fell into the frame smoothly.

5-4!

Anthony also gave the Denver fans cheers in the first place. This single, crisp and neat, Barkley is also praised by "tsk".

Both teams showed their team characteristics from the start. The Lakers mainly play Kobe and Bynum, and the Nuggets are the "golden twin guns".

Both sides were in good shape tonight, with the scores alternating between back and forth, and with Bryant's last-minute shot, the Lakers took a three-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

"The pressure has come to the benches on both sides, and it's up to who can step up and share the pressure for the main lineup!"

After watching the first quarter, Kenny Smith thought that the winner on both sides was likely to lie on the bench.

Li Wan received a huge boo when he came on the field. It's hard to imagine that this is a rookie who has only played six NBA games.

"Boy, you're famous!"

Odom was substituted at 7:14 in the first quarter, and at the beginning of the second quarter, he played with Leewan.

"You said that yesterday."

Li Wan turned his head to look at the audience on the sidelines who shouted the most, thought about it and threw his coat to him, he was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his clothes tightly in hesitation and continued to "scold".

Human beings are probably indeed contradictory "animals".

Adjusting the elbow pads on his arms, Li Wan wore two white elbow pads today, like the snow on Rocky Mountain. He had already enjoyed a huge boo when he first entered the arena today, and he was a little nervous at the time, but now he doesn't feel anything. Men, after the first time, it's different.

Jr-Smith took the ball from the backcourt, the Lakers stood outside the three-point line on the right side of the defensive area, and in the face of Li Wan's rapid breakthrough with the ball, the first step was very fast, Li Wan slid sideways and confronted J.R. Smith. Jr-Smith responded to the confrontation with a heavy shoulder, which made his center of gravity not affected by the confrontation, stepped forward into the free throw line and strengthened, Odom made up for it, he turned 180 degrees in the air, dodged Odom's hand, and put the basket into the frame.

“wow!”

On the first ball, Jr-Smith's operation stunned Kenny Smith. Allen Iverson and Anthony, who were sitting on the Nuggets bench, also jumped up at the first time, waving the towel in their hands with a surprise on their faces. They were also scared.

"Charles, did you see that, WOW!"

Kenny Smith's expression is pompous, and he does it on purpose.

Barkley hadn't said a word for a long time, and he had already seen the picture of himself running naked.

Sure enough, the gap is a bit big!

The scene was full of voices, and JR-Smith was overexcited in the cheers, and made a discriminatory gesture towards Li Wan, so frightened that the referee on duty directly gave a T.

Li Wan executed a technical penalty and hit it steadily amid the monstrous boos.

"I don't wonder why your friends are short-lived now!"

This summer, the brother who was sitting in the passenger seat was killed in a JR-Smith road drag racing accident, and the police found that he had eight records of speeding and dangerous driving, so he was sentenced to 90 days in prison and had his license suspended for two years. But recently, when he was released on bail, he was rumored to be involved in a road drag racing scandal.

Such a guy made a discriminatory gesture, Li Wan was not surprised at all.

His words annoyed J.R. Smith and chased after him, with Jordan Farmar waiting for him to get around from behind and get the ball into his hands.

After taking the ball, Li Wan stopped and made an obvious passing action, and JR-Smith quickly reached out to intercept, but at this time, Li Wan collected the ball and rushed to the basket and completed the split dunk with one hand.

Jr-Smith Scout Report Weaknesses: The defensive end likes to gamble on steals and often loses position as a result.

Coupled with the bad problems that have always existed on the defensive end, Li Wan's passing feints will be believed by him no matter how fake they are.

In the defense, Li Wan turned his head and also made a discriminatory move towards Jr-Smith.

This action stimulated the audience of Denver, and the invective rang out.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and crossed in front of Li Wan at the first time to prevent the situation from breaking out further.
