Chapter 163: "If you have the ability, don't pass the ball!"
Old Nelson was cautious and immediately called a timeout.
Zhou Yang took the initiative to stand up and was about to play, and Old Nelson nodded gratefully.
He knew that Zhou Yang was tired after playing in the first quarter, but the situation was urgent, and if Zhou Yang didn't play again, the score difference would be smoothed out.
Kobe Bryant saw Zhou Yang on the court, and he also stood up and was eager to try.
The Zen master shook his head and asked him to sit down, because Zhou Yang and Kobe were different in age, he couldn't let Kobe be too tired, and it was not yet time to fight to the death.
After Zhou Yang came on the court, he stabilized the situation, and he first locked up Odom, who had just performed well, on the defensive end.
Then he sent two second-to-second passes in quick succession on the offensive end, with Morrow and Reggie Williams each hitting each of them.
The difference was instantly widened to 16 points.
The Zen master was helpless, so he changed to the main lineup.
The crowd at Staples Arena quit and scolded the head coach for making a substitution too late.
In fact, the Zen master was also embarrassed, Kobe Bryant also played 11 minutes in the first quarter, but he was a 35-year-old man, and he couldn't let him play for more than 40 minutes.
As soon as Nelson Sr. saw that the Lakers had changed to the main force, he also replaced Curry and Jackson on the court.
After Kobe Bryant came on the court, he immediately used his color to kill the ball to the bottom line, faced Zhou Yang, and hit a backward jumper!
The fans cheered, and what everyone liked to see the most was the star racing!
After Kobe Bryant scored, he roared beside Zhou Yang again: "Don't be too happy!" ”
Zhou Yang smiled and didn't say anything.
Looking back, Zhou Yang held the ball at the top of the arc, Kobe Bryant focused on the defense, he thought that Zhou Yang would definitely return the favor.
But Jackson and Curry suddenly had a cross-switch.
The Lakers players thought that Curry was going to catch the ball and shoot three points, so they blocked Curry in advance.
Zhou Yang suddenly passed the ball to Jackson.
Jackson's mid-range shot is still good, and he has no one in front of him, no pressure.
Swish!
Zhou Yang and Curry almost attracted three people to defend, and the opportunity for teammates came!
2 points to hand.
Kobe Bryant shouted indignantly: "If you have the ability, don't pass the ball!" ”
Zhou Yang shrugged: "Is there a passing foul?" ”
“……”
The Lakers attacked, Gasol held the ball, he shook his way and attacked again.
However, Zhou Yang started in advance, flashed to Gasol's side, and at the moment he collected the ball, he snapped!
Cut the ball off with one palm!
Steady and ruthless!
Kobe Bryant was behind Zhou Yang, and immediately counter-robbed, bang!
The two bumped into each other, and the referee's whistle blew for Kobe Bryant to block the foul.
Kobe Bryant shook his head angrily.
The ball is converted and the Warriors attack.
Falling into a positional battle, Zhou Yang held the ball at a 45-degree angle.
Zhou Yang beckoned, and Curry ran over again to block Kobe.
Fisher had no choice but to cling to Zhou Yang and ask his teammates to come over to wrap up.
The Splash Brothers all have the ability to shoot instantly, and Kobe and Fisher will definitely not be able to prevent it.
Odom immediately rushed over and flanked Zhou Yang with Fisher.
The Zen master left Odom on the field to replace Meta when he made the substitution just now.
Odom, like the Thunder's Harden, is a fake bench that the coach will keep on the court when it matters most.
This is what Zhou Yang wants.
He saw that Margeti had reached the penalty area through cover, so he immediately passed a through ball.
Margeti catches the ball and makes a layup.
Bynum tried to come over and make up for it, but Andris held him back.
That's where Andris comes in, he's not as good as the Shark in absolute bounce and confrontation, but he's not at a loss in terms of positioning and cover.
The Warriors scored two more points.
The Zen master was on the sidelines, and he was still a little panicked, because if the warriors only relied on the Splash Brothers, it would not be terrible.
But Zhou Yang, as a rookie, was able to resist not only cutting points, but using his pulling power to create opportunities for his teammates!
This level of maturity is all too rare among young players.
Even superstars like Jordan and Kobe Bryant have tried their best for several seasons to hone the concept of a team.
To say that the most mature, one is Magic Johnson, and the other is Stone Buddha Duncan.
And Zhou Yang is on par with these two superstars in this regard.
In the next few rounds, the Warriors continued to have the upper hand, and the point difference gradually widened.
With 1:52 left in the second quarter, the score was 69-51 and the Warriors had an 18-point lead.
Who would have thought that the first home court of the uncrowned champion would be beaten like this by the Warriors, who were still fish belly last season?
Kobe Bryant was really angry, he stopped paying attention to the orders of the Zen master and began to take over the game!
Scold!
In an attack, Kobe Bryant made a feint to deceive Zhou Yang, and then hit Zhou Yang and hit two points!
Honk!
The referee's whistle blew and Zhou Yang fouled.
There's no way, as long as Kobe Bryant makes a shooting move, if you don't jump up to defend it, you're a fool, that's Kobe!
The goal didn't go in, but Bryant made two free throws.
Free throws are nothing, but Zhou Yang has already committed 3 fouls.
Zhou Yang was too important to the Warriors, and the old Nelson had to be cautious, so he had to replace him.
Before Kobe Bryant made a free throw, he deliberately waved his hand at Zhou Yang and said goodbye.
The two fought against each other and became a highlight of the game.
After Zhou Yang went off the court, the Warriors' offensive and defensive ends immediately dropped two notches.
Although Curry also tries his best to thread the needle and lead his teammates, his current ability is not enough to support the Warriors.
The Lakers took the opportunity to start chasing points.
Kobe Bryant is crazy.
Maybe he was very depressed by Zhou Yang just now, so after Zhou Yang got off the court, Kobe Bryant seemed to have been lifted from the seal and turned on the god-killing mode.
In the remaining 1 minute or so, Kobe Bryant scored 9 points alone, narrowing the gap to 12 points at once.
73:61, Half Game Over!
Huaxia's CCTV commentators Zhang Li and Yu Jia are commenting on the game.
As we all know, Director Zhang is a hardcore Komi.
And Zhou Yang is the pride of Huaxia, so Director Zhang is a bit of a dilemma.
When he explains, he tries not to show his emotional color.
However, attentive viewers can still hear that he loves Kobe Bryant and Zhou Yang at the same time.
"Kobe Bryant and Zhou Yang are really bright for a while, both of them played well today, this game is good!"
"Coach Zhang, who do you think is better Kobe Bryant or Zhou Yang?"
Yu Jia did this on purpose, just to make Director Zhang embarrassed.
Of course, he is also for the effect of the show, and he doesn't really want to embarrass Director Zhang.
Director Zhang coughed and thought for a few seconds before saying: "Zhou Yang is definitely better than the young Kobe Bryant at this age. ”
The smart Director Zhang skillfully answered this question with the performance of the two people of different ages.
But Yu Jia continued to ask: "Then who is better today's performance?" ”
"Oh...... I think it's about the same, Zhou Yang can connect his teammates while attacking on his own, and Kobe's killer attribute is stronger. But I think Bryant is already trying to fit in with the team. ”
Director Zhang's evaluation is quite objective, and Yu Jia nodded frequently.
"Coach Zhang, do you think the Splash Brothers' style of play will win the championship?"
Director Zhang shook his head slightly: "It's impossible in a short time." ”
