Chapter 13: He Darkens Staples Arena Tonight!
"!! Toot
The first quarter of the game officially began, and the referee threw the basketball up.
Da Yao easily grabbed the ball and tossed the basketball to Francis.
Holding the ball to the top of the arc, Francis faced the defense of Fisher, who is still a small fish, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he wanted to break through with the dribble.
Fisher's poor defense is something that is well known throughout the NBA.
Whenever he faced such a fast point guard, Fisher would be ravaged.
Francis instantly burst out with extremely fast speed, stepped past Fisher in one step, and just wanted to break into the inside layup, but suddenly remembered what Han Ning told him before the game.
Create more chances for James Posey!
After seeing that Rick Fox, the Lakers player responsible for defending James Posey, was coming towards him, Francis didn't hesitate to pass the basketball over.
James Posey took the ball and threw it without the slightest hesitation.
When arranging tactics before the game, Han Ning told him personally that he needed a chance to shoot directly in this game!
"Bang!"
"Huh!"
Coincidentally, James Posey felt pretty good today, scoring his first three-pointer in the opening game!
Bryant looked at Francis with some surprise, and in his impression, Francis was a person who rarely took the initiative to pass the ball to his teammates when he had a clear opportunity.
The last time he could do this was Da Yao, but in a few games, Da Yao came up with 30 points.
This time he took the initiative to pass to James Posey, which made Kobe Bryant can't help but be a little curious.
The Lakers attacked, and James Posey took the initiative to meet Kobe.
Dribbling at the top of the arc, Kobe Bryant frowned slightly.
He is still very recognizant of James Posey's defensive ability.
At this time, Han Ning on the sidelines leaked a sly smile on his face, and then opened the system page and inserted the two cards in front of him into the card slot.
Suddenly, James Posey felt as if his body was lighter and his reflexes were quicker.
Bryant held the ball and broke through in the direction of his right hand, and then immediately pulled the basketball back with his right hand, jumped back, and the basketball was thrown.
With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, he could feel that this ball was there!
However, in the next second, a figure appeared in front of him that surprised him very much.
James Posey was not deterred by his feint, but reacted very quickly to stop and jump, and his right hand struggled upwards towards the basketball in the air.
Feeling a touch on the tip of his index finger, a smile leaked from James Posey's face.
This ball, his hat has arrived!
"Rub!"
The basketball was a little discouraged by James Posey's hat and fell before it could fly near the basket.
Da Yao got stuck and won the basketball, and then a long pass went to the frontcourt.
After receiving Da Yao's pass, Francis quickly advanced with the ball, and after stepping into the three-second zone, he turned his head slightly, and after seeing James Posey following, he threw the basketball backwards without hesitation and threw it directly into James Posey's arms.
Kobe Bryant kept following James Posey, and when he saw him get the basketball, he immediately accelerated and rushed over, trying to intercept him.
However, after James Posey received the pass, he did not choose to go straight to the basket and dunk, but suddenly stopped his steps.
Kobe Bryant didn't have time to brake and rushed over his head.
James Posey took a breath and raised his hand to hit a mid-range shot!
Han Ning jumped up excitedly on the sidelines.
He really didn't expect James Posey to be in such good shape today!
Even without the help of his two cards, James Posey's performance today was enough to be called outstanding.
Kobe Bryant was hatted by James Posey and then teased again, with a glimmer of fire in his eyes.
He's really coming to the fighting spirit.
The tougher the enemy, the stronger his fighting spirit.
Before half time, he took the initiative to ask for the ball, facing James Posey's defense, half-bowed, and kept dribbling back and forth in front of him with both hands, staring at James Posey.
"You can't stop me." Bryant said to James Posey suddenly.
James Posey couldn't help but be stunned, and when he reacted, Bryant had already passed him from the left side with the ball.
Han Ning couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
It is impossible to completely prevent Kobe, and this black mamba is impeccable in terms of fighting spirit and technique.
Kobe Bryant came to the basket with the ball and jumped hard against Da Yao.
Seeing this, Da Yao hurriedly guarded against it, wanting to intercept Kobe.
However, Kobe Bryant's original gesture to dunk suddenly stopped, holding the ball in both hands, showing his waist and abdomen strength to the fullest, and holding the ball in his right hand around Da Yao's body and throwing it towards the basket.
"Bang!"
"Huh!"
Basketball is played into the basket.
Turning his head, Francis wanted to return one.
One of the opposing team's leading stars scored a goal, and he was naturally not far behind and wanted to return one.
Only this time, the person in charge of defending Francis changed from Fisher to Kobe.
Kobe Bryant, who is full of physical strength and gets serious, is very scary.
Francis failed to get rid of Kobe Bryant after several attempts to break through, and in desperation, he had to pass the basketball to Mobley.
Mobley shoots three-pointers.
"Bang dang!"
The basketball smashed the basket out, and Da Yao Shun pressed Samaki Walker to win the rebound.
O'Neal didn't play, and the Lakers' interior line would have no one to match Da Yao, and he could easily crush any of the Lakers' other interior players.
With his legs slightly bent, he went straight to a two-handed dunk against Samaki Walker's defense.
"Bang!"
"Squeak! Creak! ”
The hoop made an overwhelming sound.
Francis nodded in satisfaction.
In his opinion, Da Yao is his brother, and having his brother complete the matter of returning one for him is equivalent to doing it himself.
Kobe Bryant came to the top of the arc with the ball, glanced at his teammates around him, and sighed slightly.
Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with O'Neal, he also has to admit how dominant O'Neal is in the NBA.
Blinking, Kobe's eyes were full of fighting spirit again, looked at James Posey and said, "This time, you still can't guard me." ”
James Posey said with a very serious expression: "I'll defend it!" ”
After the first defense to Kobe, James Posey's confidence soared, and even if he was scored by Kobe Bryant later, he did not retreat in his heart.
Bryant broke to the right, got up and jumped near the baseline.
James Posey followed closely behind, giving him some distraction.
"Bang dang!"
The basketball smashes the basket and comes out.
This ball, he defended it again!
Da Yao won the rebound and handed it to Francis, and the Rockets played a fast break, and everyone ran towards the frontcourt.
James Posey hurriedly ran to the front court while Kobe Bryant was still in shape.
When Francis dribbled to the top of the arc, James Posey also rushed to the three-point line. Take advantage of the situation and throw the basketball in your hand into the air.
James Posey stepped past Rick Fox in front of him and jumped hard when Da Yao helped jam the rest of the Lakers players.
“Ba
g! ”
A perfect air tie buckle!
"Beautiful! James Posey! A perfect defense plus a perfect air catch! His play tonight darkened the Staples Arena! Smith shouted excitedly from inside the broadcast room.
