After fifteen consecutive wins, the Warriors have a heavyweight opponent at home -

Los Angeles Lakers.

Since the Warriors eliminated the Lakers last season, Lakers fans and Kobe fans have regarded Zhou Yang as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

On basketball forums, Hu Mi and Comi are the least friendly to Zhou Yang.

Of course, this is all fan behavior, and Kobe Bryant and Zhou Yang still have a very good relationship in private.

At the pre-game press conference, Kobe Bryant maintained his usual style and made a bold statement that he would definitely beat the Warriors and avenge the last playoffs!

In fact, it's no wonder that Lakers fans are angry, the Lakers do have a chance to win a second consecutive year.

By strength, the Suns will have a hard time beating the Lakers.

But a loss is a loss, and the playoffs are inherently unpredictable, as long as you come back this year.

The Lakers currently have an 11-4 record, sitting fourth in the West.

The results are not ideal.

But the Lakers are still very confident, and they don't care about the regular season record anymore.

After all, Kobe Bryant is a year older, and he has to save his energy for the playoffs.

……

Half past eight in the evening, Golden State Oracle Arena.

The Warriors host the Los Angeles Lakers.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, Mehta, Fisher.

The Warriors started with Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Turkoglu and Barbosa.

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Chandler grabbed the first wave of possession.

Although Kobe Bryant spoke wildly before the game, he knew in his heart that this Warriors team was stronger than last season.

Speaking of center alone, the Warriors have been upgraded, from Andris to Chandler.

It shows that the Lakers' interior advantage is gone.

Warriors offense.

Curry dribbled past half court and Fisher defended alone.

Turkoglu stepped forward to cover, Curry moved sideways, and Gasol immediately delayed and did not give Curry a chance to shoot.

Curry moved sideways, took it apart, and passed the ball to Turkoglou, telling him to play big and bully Fisher.

Tekoglu comprehended, and on the head of the old fish, he made a direct three-point shot!

It's a pity that Turkoglu didn't feel good and didn't shoot, boom!

The basketball bounced to the left, and Chandler yelled, carrying Bynum and grabbing the frontcourt board.

Chandler then passed the ball to Barbossa.

The inside line of the Warriors, who was bullied last season, has finally turned over!

Barbosa's bottom corner three-pointer shot again, wow!

Hit!

That's the rationale of the Warriors' lineup, with Margeti swapped for Barbossa and Jackson swapped for Turkoglou, both of whom shot three-pointers.

The space came out all at once.

Bryant was shocked and knew it would be a difficult day.

Lakers offense.

Fisher passes the ball to Gasol, who faces Tekoglu and wants to use his height advantage to play one.

Turkoglou's defensive ability is average, but since coming to the Warriors, he has improved a lot.

It's true that his footsteps are not fast, but an inside line like Gasol is still a little skillful.

Tekoglu pressed hard against Gasol's bottom plate and didn't give him enough room to turn, which made Gasol uncomfortable.

As a result, the shot was a little off, and Zhou Yang grabbed the rebound.

The Warriors launch a fast break.

Zhou Yang passed to Curry, but Fisher made a tactical foul and hugged Curry.

The warriors had no choice but to fall into positional warfare.

Zhou Yang dribbled at the top of the arc, and Kobe Bryant defended alone.

This is the first head-to-head match between the core players of the two teams, and it has a significant impact on the direction of the game.

Especially Zhou Yang, who is fighting at home, if he is defended by Kobe Bryant at the beginning, then the game will be passive.

Scold!

Zhou Yang started to the right, and Kobe Bryant immediately moved sideways to block.

At the same time, Kobe Bryant also gave Zhou Yang a confrontational action, bang!

Zhou Yang's body shook, but the dribble was still very steady.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant was moving quickly, Zhou Yang made a change of direction again and rushed to the left.

But Bryant was still in hot pursuit.

The two are too familiar with each other, almost every action is studied very thoroughly, and it is too difficult for Zhou Yang to pass Kobe Bryant by ordinary changes of direction.

Zhou Yang's eyes narrowed, and he decided to be ruthless.

He suddenly pulled the ball back and made a backward move, and Bryant immediately stuck to it.

But Zhou Yang pushed the ball out from the right!

Kobe Bryant thought that Zhou Yang was going to break through from the right side, so he hurriedly went to block it.

But Zhou Yang's ball was out of his hand, and the whole person ran over from the left side.

Split the ball?

On the football field, the technique of splitting the ball is very practical and is used several times per game.

Because the football field is relatively wide, the fast striker has plenty of space to catch up with the ball again and keep going.

However, the basketball court is relatively small, and it is too difficult to divide the ball, which is easy to cause mistakes.

Kobe Bryant was taken aback, hesitated, and decided to chase the ball.

With this hesitation, it will be too late.

Zhou Yang was like a cheetah, rushing over, scooping the ball over, and continuing to control the ball.

It's really a daring artist.

Kobe's defensive ability is already top-notch, but I really didn't expect that Zhou Yang would use the actions of the wild court.

Looking at Zhou Yang's back, Kobe Bryant shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhou Yang hit the penalty area, Bynum pounced to make up for the defense, Zhou Yang from his armpit, stuffed the ball to Chandler.

The boxing king ate a piece of flatbread beautifully, and bang!

The Warriors took the lead with two points!

Zhou Yang's breakthrough will definitely become today's top five goals.

It's so daring to play!

Just when Zhou Yang was back on guard, Kobe Bryant said angrily from his side: "You kid, are you playing evil with me?" ”

Zhou Yang smiled: "No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat to catch a mouse!" ”

Kobe Bryant didn't speak, he was thinking in his heart about how to punish Zhou Yang for a ball.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant held the ball, and Zhou Yang defended alone.

Zhou Yang clapped his hands twice and shouted, "Come on!" Hit me one, don't be cowardly! ”

Kobe Bryant's face turned blue and he slowly dribbled the ball.

Suddenly, Kobe Bryant dribbled to break through to the middle, and Zhou Yang stretched out his long arm and stopped it.

Then Kobe Bryant used a silky turn to leave Zhou Yang behind.

This trick is very ordinary, but Kobe Bryant used it, and it was extremely powerful, because his steps were too fast.

When Kobe Bryant first entered the league, he was very studious, he learned from Jordan and Olajuwon, and learned a lot of nutrients from the two.

Especially the footsteps, he was praised again and again by Olajuwon, saying that Kobe Bryant learned quickly and was extremely talented.

Olajuwon's fantastic footsteps are really a must, they don't look complicated, but it's hard to use them flexibly in the game.

Warcraft Howard participated in the Olajuwon study class and studied it several times, but after so many years, it still didn't work.

Zhou Yang was shocked, and if he wanted to chase it again, it was too late, Kobe Bryant jumped off the trend, drifted and shot, hey!

Get two points!

The boos of the crowd at Golden State's home stadium came to an abrupt end.

Fans can't help but secretly admire that Kobe is Kobe, he is really amazing!

2:2 draw!

Zhou Yang still had a smile on his face and nodded slightly, he admired Kobe Bryant's excellence very much.
