Old Nelson nodded with satisfaction, in fact, he knew in his heart that it was under the influence of Zhou Yang that everyone would pay so much attention to details.

He continued: "The Lakers are indeed strong, but we still have a chance, so let's play a training game, Zhou Yang, you can imitate Kobe!" ”

He then designated a few more players to imitate the Lakers' main lineup and played a 12-minute practice game.

The other players of the Warriors were surprised to find that Zhou Yang's imitation of Kobe Bryant was really vivid, and even some of Kobe's small actions were imitated.

And Zhou Yang has a talent for comedy, he exaggerated Kobe's movements, so that his teammates who defended him couldn't help but bend down with laughter.

Old Nelson watched from the sidelines, also looking down and snickering.

The atmosphere in the team is very important, strict when it should be strict, relaxed when it should be relaxed, relaxed.

The Lakers and Warriors series starts soon!

At the pre-game press conference, Zhou Yang and Curry were interviewed by the media.

A local reporter in Los Angeles seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhou Yang, and he asked nondechly: "Mr. Zhou Yang, you injured Kobe Bryant in the last game with the Lakers, will you bring this rough style of play to the playoffs?" ”

As soon as he finished asking, the audience was silent, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Zhou Yang.

This is a difficult question to answer, and it smacks of provocation and questioning.

Zhou Yang smiled faintly and replied in a deep voice: "I think it's a pity to hurt Kobe, but in the playoffs, the confrontation will definitely increase, and even more rude, if this reporter is glass-hearted, I suggest you don't watch the game!" ”

The answer was neither humble nor arrogant, soft and hard, and the reporter's mouth moved, but he still sat down.

Other reporters burst into applause.

Another reporter asked: "You beat the Nuggets, which is considered an upset, can you tell us the reason for beating the Nuggets?" ”

Zhou Yang thought for a while and replied: "It's our whole team that works hard, relying on strong willpower, to win two home games, which is the key to our promotion!" ”

Another reporter asked, "Stephen, you've been inconsistent in this playoffs, how are you going to adjust?" ”

Curry's face was slightly red, he was indeed not as stable as Zhou Yang in the first round of the series.

"I'll admit that I've had a lot of ups and downs in these five series, but I'm going to improve, and I'm thankful to my teammates for helping me get to the second round of the playoffs."

Curry is an honest kid, he won't make excuses for himself, if he doesn't play well, it's not good, and he admitted it himself.

The reporter saw that Curry didn't go around the corner, so it was difficult to say anything.

……

At the Lakers' press conference, Bryant was interviewed alone.

A reporter asked, "Mr. Kobe, will you personally defend Zhou Yang in the game?" ”

Kobe nodded vigorously and replied: "Yes, Zhou Yang's attack power is very strong, I won't let him play in the last round." ”

The reporter asked with interest: "Then how many points can you limit Zhou Yang to?" ”

Kobe Bryant hesitated, was ruthless, and replied: "I won't let Zhou Yang score more than 20 points!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the reporters at the scene all exclaimed.

You must know that Zhou Yang averaged 38.5 points per game in the first round of the playoffs.

It's too difficult to limit such a super scorer to no more than 20 points.

Kobe's face was not very natural, in fact, he also knew how powerful Zhou Yang was, but he still had to blow it before the game to boost morale.

Another reporter asked, "The Warriors' three-point strategy is very powerful, can the Lakers' outside defense work?" ”

Kobe's face sank and he said loudly: "We have the best outside defensive lineup, and we will never let the Splash Brothers shoot so many threes!" ”

Reporters know Kobe Bryant's self-confidence very well, and know that he never lets people talk about it, but in fact, Kobe Bryant has a lot of praise for Zhou Yang.

……

Eight p.m., Staples Arena, Los Angeles.

The Lakers take on the Warriors.

The Warriors' starting lineup is Zhou Yang, Curry, Margetty, Jackson and Andries.

The Lakers' starting five Tigers are Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, Mehta, and Fisher.

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Bynum easily got the first wave of possession, and Fisher dribbled past half court.

Curry stepped forward to defend, and Kobe Bryant and Zhou Yang were entangled.

Fans are happy, the biggest highlight of this game is the showdown between Zhou Yang and Kobe Bryant's old and new!

Bryant finally got stuck in position and reached for the ball.

Fisher immediately passed the ball.

Kobe Bryant's connection action was too 6, as soon as he received the ball, he shook it to the right, and Zhou Yang immediately went to block it, but Kobe Bryant instantly turned to the left, and then pulled it out and shot!

It can be seen that Kobe Bryant is very well prepared and excited.

A pinnacle duel between two leading stars!

Swish!

Kobe Bryant's first shot scored 2 points.

Fans in Los Angeles raised their arms and chanted that Kobe Bryant was their big hero.

Last season, Kobe Bryant led the team to win the championship and proved himself!

When the OK combination won three consecutive championships, Kobe and O'Neal were both core players, but O'Neal got three FMVPs.

Some of Kobe's black fans used this to attack him and belittle him.

Kobe Bryant is a very competitive player, much like Jordan.

So he waited for his teammates to grow up in the Lakers, and finally ushered in the peak of the team at the tail of his peak.

Warriors offense.

Zhou Yang, as the star of the Warriors, must respond.

He knew that thousands of fans were waiting.

After half the court, Zhou Yang took the ball, and Kobe Bryant immediately stood in front of Zhou Yang, and shouted at the same time: "Zhou Yang, if you have the ability, hit me!" ”

If it were someone else, Zhou Yang would not respond, he only needed to use the goal to speak.

But on the other side was Kobe, and Zhou Yang wanted to tease him.

"Aren't you just going to score a two-pointer? I'll give you a three! ”

When Kobe Bryant heard it, he was energetic.

"Forget it, I won't give you a chance!"

The two of them were arguing, and their hands were not idle.

Scold!

Zhou Yang quickly took a big step sideways and made a move to shoot a three-point shot.

Kobe Bryant, of course, did not allow it and immediately followed.

Who knows, the moment Zhou Yang pounced on Kobe, he took a big step back, and he was about to retreat to the middle line.

Kobe Bryant knew that Zhou Yang had the ability to shoot three points from a distance, so he didn't relax and immediately followed up with a big step.

At the moment when Kobe Bryant pounced forward, Zhou Yang dribbled behind his back and changed direction to the left.

Zhou Yang's operation control ability is really the top front, very similar to Maddie back then, the coordination of movements is too good, and it looks very elegant and fast!

Kobe Bryant was shocked, he also thought of Maddie for the first time!

Many new fans don't know much about Maddie, and only from the honor, they think that Maddie is just an average star.
