"Damn it! James Posey! In less than two minutes of the opening game, he scored seven points and successfully defended two Kobe Bryant's ball-holding attacks, and successfully capped one! Oh, my God! What a wonderful show! Smith and everyone in front of the TV were blown away by James Posey's performance.

This sophomore, who has been playing as a role player before, came up with such a performance today!

It's nothing if he's facing some little-known players, but he's guarding against Kobe Bryant, who has been on the rise for the past few years!

In the office, Dawson was stunned as he looked at the picture on the TV.

He thought that Han Ning would create some opportunities for James Posiddo, but he didn't expect that under Han Ning's hands, he averaged 10.7 points per game last season, and this game was not even halfway through the first quarter of the game, and he was basically about to reach last season's average points per game.

The game continued.

Bryant held the ball, got rid of James Posey with the help of his teammates' blocking, and cut down three points in the face of the old cat Mobley.

Han Ning couldn't help but shake his head on the sidelines.

Kobe Bryant's hand was really good tonight.

Turning his head, James Posey held the ball at the top of the arc and wanted to make a three-pointer.

He felt in good shape tonight, and with Francis passing the ball all the time, he unconsciously thought of himself as the team's leading scorer.

"Bang dang!"

It's a pity that the basketball smashed out of the basket, and Da Yao jumped up and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.

“Ba

g！ ”

Seeing this, Han Ning hurriedly shouted, "Boxi! Posey! Hit the number two tactic! Tactic number two! ”

This is a tactic specially set by Han Ning for James Posey, which means to use the block to shoot more.

The Lakers' Samaki Walker hit a basket and the rebound was taken by Kenny Thomas, and then Francis drove with the ball.

When he came to the top of the arc, he handed the basketball directly to James Posey.

James Posey looked up and saw that the player in charge of defending him had become Kobe, and he was faintly excited.

After making a triple threat move, he lifted the ball up with both hands and made a three-point move.

He scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up before, which impressed Kobe Bryant, and at this time, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pounced to block it.

After James Posey saw Kobe being shaken, he hurriedly withdrew his hands, dribbled out from Kobe's side, and jumped and shot as soon as he stepped into the three-point line.

"Bang!"

"Huh!"

The basketball arcs through the air and crashes into the net!

There was silence in Staples Arena.

Tonight, they thought that Francis would keep breaking through their team's restricted area, and they also thought that Da Yao might run wild under the basket without O'Neal's protection.

But I didn't expect James Posey to play like this.

Before the halfway point of the first quarter, the Lakers were already 8 points behind! The total score came to 13-5, and nine of the Rockets' 13 points were scored by James Posey alone!

After James Posey put in such a great play, the Lakers put the focus of defense on him.

Suddenly, James Posey's offensive efficiency was greatly reduced, and Han Ning had to set up a new tactical arrangement after the end of the first quarter.

"Posey, if the offense doesn't go well, you can try to pass a few more balls to Da Yao, the Lakers can't defend Da Yao without O'Neal. If the Lakers shift their defensive focus next, we'll move on to Posey. I can give you more than enough mid-range shots tonight! Posey, I only have one requirement for you, you have to score more than Kobe Bryant, and try your best to show him on the defensive end! ”

Han Ning's words made the other players of the Rocket team a little confused.

This is simply playing James Posey as the star of the Rockets!

Not only did he give him unlimited firepower on the offensive end, but he also gave him the most important task defensively.

Turning his head to look at Francis and Da Yao, the two of them didn't seem to have any opinion on their faces, and accepted the result very calmly.

Mobley on the side was a little unhappy and his expression was a little displeased, but Francis and Da Yao didn't speak, and he didn't take the initiative to say anything.

James Posey's heart is about to blossom, this is the first time he can have such a high tactical position in the team, and he is full of confidence.

"!! Toot

After the pause, Han Ning smiled and looked at the back of James Posey on the court.

The young man is still a little younger.

According to Han Ning's use of James Posey today, it is almost equivalent to catching a person to death.

Not only does he need to take on the offensive load, but he also needs to be put on the task of defending Kobe.

The average manager doesn't use a player like that for a long season.

The NBA season is very long, and even the head coach who likes to use the main team and does not like the rotation has to consider the physical strength of each player.

And Han Ning's use of James Posey in this way will only have one consequence, that is, James Posey's state in the next game will be very sluggish, and the physical reserves of the whole season will be affected to a certain extent.

But...... Han Ning doesn't care!

A player who is about to be traded, doesn't he take advantage of the moment to squeeze the surplus value and keep his physical strength for the New Year?!

It's a pity that James Posey only thought that he wanted to reuse him, but he never thought that the better he played today, the sooner the day of leaving the Rockets would come.

After the whole game, James Posey made 13 of 17 shots, slashed 31 points, 10 assists, plus 5 rebounds and two blocks!

Whenever the Lakers shifted their defensive focus to him, James Posey passed the basketball to Da Yao, who easily crushed the Lakers inside and scored.

After one game, James Posey also brushed up 10 assists from Da Yao.

Francis's stats for this game were a rare double-double in assists, most of which came after passing the ball to James Posey.

James Posey has never felt like a game can be played so easily, passing to Da Yao to get an assist when he is trapped, and shooting when he has an open position.

The most important thing is that Kobe Bryant only scored 26 points in the normal game of his defense, and the shooting rate can reach 40%!

You must know that this month, Kobe Bryant's average points per game are as high as 35 points or more! That's a good defensive record.

The only bad thing was that after this game, he was so tired that he couldn't get up from the floor.

Han Ning enthusiastically helped James Posey up and led him into the post-match press conference.
