Chapter 533: Kobe Bryant Meets a Defensive Giant

However, Chandler's card position was so good that he squeezed Howard and didn't give him a chance to jump easily.

In desperation, Nash had no choice but to pass the ball to Kobe.

Defending Kobe Bryant is Tony Allen.

Allen is excited, and he has been off the bench for most of the regular season this season.

As a player who performed so well in the playoffs last year, Tony Allen was somewhat unconvinced by putting him on the bench.

But Zhou Yang had a long chat with him, hinting to him: The playoffs are his stage!

After listening to Tony Allen, he understood the position given to him by the team.

Since then, Tony Allen has been playing conscientiously and without complaints.

In addition, the team management has promised to give Tony Allen a new contract at the end of this season, and strive to keep him!

And the Splash Brothers brand also signed him.

Kobe Bryant didn't care about Tony Allen's single defense, and he wanted to burst into the penalty area with a change of direction to accelerate.

Who knows, Tony Allen is very tough, sticks to Kobe Bryant, and his feet are not slow, and he actually forced Kobe Bryant to have no chance to shoot.

Bryant was a bit of a surprise.

Although he is a few years older and less explosive, it is still easy to get past most defenders in the league.

But Tony Allen can defend so well!

Bryant's competitiveness came back again, and instead of passing, he dribbled quickly in succession, kicked his left foot, took off into the air, and made a step-back jumper.

This is Kobe's killer move, and it's Jordan's trick.

Jordan and Kobe's step-back jumpers look similar, but upon closer inspection, there are still some differences.

Bryant's step-back jumper has a particularly large leaning angle of the body backwards, and the shooting point is very deep.

And Jordan's backward jump shot, the upper body is almost straight, and the whole person seems to be sitting in the air.

From the difference between the two, it can be seen that Jordan's physical talent is superior.

In fact, Kobe's talent is already the top among the players, but Jordan is a once-in-a-century talent, no way.

Despite Tony Allen's struggles, Bryant's step-back drift jumper was too hard to guard.

Swish!

Two points in hand!

Immediately, the Staples Arena resounded with an earth-shattering roar.

Lakers fans know that Kobe Bryant is already going downhill, his peak has passed, and now he is barely the tail of his peak.

But Kobe has never slackened off, and has always worked so hard!

This is the hero of the Lakers!

After the goal, Kobe Bryant looked at Tony Allen with fire in his eyes!

It's not that he looks down on Tony Allen, on the contrary, he declares war on Tony Allen.

It also shows that Tony Allen's defensive strength has been recognized by Kobe.

"You're finally qualified to be my opponent!"

That's what it means.

Tony Allen's ability to resist pressure is also very strong, he is not afraid to look at Kobe, and even takes a step forward, face to face, and keeps spewing trash words in his mouth!

"Let you get into one, there won't be a second!"

Kobe Bryant immediately responded: "If Lao Tzu can get into one, he can get in two!" ”

Players from both sides walked by, and couldn't help but want to laugh, and the two of them were on the bar.

Zhou Yang walked over and high-fived Tony Allen, and patted him on the arm to encourage him.

Warriors offense.

Curry advanced to the front court with the ball, faced Nash, and directly stepped back for three points!

This season's Curry is becoming more and more domineering, and he is no longer the good baby.

Swish!

Big three-point hit!

This goal made the noisy Staples Arena instantly quiet.

Bryant also shook his head slightly.

I've never seen anything like this......

It was not easy to get in here, and it was a breakthrough, a sudden stop, and a backwards, but the opponent actually overtook the score with a three-point shot.

After Curry scored, he raised his right hand and made a gesture with his teammates at the same time.

Especially with Zhou Yang, the two intersected their arms, which revealed the feelings of the Splash Brothers.

In the next round, the Lakers attacked.

Although Nash is older, he is also very competitive.

Curry just threw a three-pointer at his head, which was a small humiliation.

In fact, in the next few years, there will be more and more players who will adapt to Curry's ultra-long three-pointers.

But now Nash, obviously not adapted.

So in the next round, Nash also threw a three-pointer with Gasol's cover!

It's not the way Nash is used to playing, but he still plays like this!

Swish!

Also in it!

Kobe rushed over excitedly and high-fived and roared with Nash!

This three-point is very important for the Lakers, first of all, in terms of morale, which is a boost, and in addition, in terms of tactical enrichment.

The Lakers don't have many offensive tactics, because this lineup doesn't have much cooperation, and it's basically singles.

And Howard's position with the Lakers is a bit awkward.

He wants to single under the basket or catch the ball and dunk.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't like to play like this, and he wanted Howard to play tactics and cover for his teammates.

The irreconcilable contradictions between the two have also hindered the Lakers' record from improving.

At 5:3, the Lakers lead.

Warriors offense.

Curry again holds the ball and pushes to the frontcourt.

In fact, Curry's ultra-long three-point is not his ability.

This is a strategy of the Warriors.

Curry's ultra-long three-point shot, the opponent's defense will unconsciously expand.

Sure enough, as soon as Curry crossed the halfway line, the Lakers' Nash posted up, and at the same time, Kobe Bryant and Meta also slowly moved towards Curry.

And Curry didn't shoot this time, but hit the ball near the penalty area.

Tekoglu had crept in and was ready in the penalty area.

After receiving Curry's pass, Turkoglu immediately turned around and burst into the restricted area.

Howard had no choice but to come over to make up for it.

But Turkoglu split the ball and gave it directly to Chandler.

Chandler stepped forward, one-handed buckle, bang!

Two points in hand.

5:5 Draw!

That's the Warriors' tactical literacy, adjusting their offense at any time.

Warriors rarely use the same tactic to fight to the end.

It's always switching.

And the switching signals were all sent from Zhou Yang.

This is a headache for the opponents.

Because other teams have to listen to the coach's command, and rarely listen to the players on the field.

Unless it's Rondo, Paul, James, the brains of the stars.

And the Warriors, the old Nelson is enjoying himself day by day, and Zhou Yang is commanding on the court.

This kind of response is too fast, and you can adjust your tactics at any time and catch your opponent off guard.

The head coach of the Lakers is former Suns head coach, D'Antoni.

He waved his hand and motioned for the Lakers to continue playing from the outside.

That's where the Lakers are paradoxical.

D'Antoni likes to play at guard, while Howard likes to play the most star-studded.

Lakers offense.

Nash didn't shoot this time and instead passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe, as the boss of the team, also has to take care of the emotions of his teammates.

So although he was a little dissatisfied with Howard, he still wanted to create opportunities for Howard.

Howard got stuck in position, reached for the ball, and Bryant passed.

But Howard's singles efficiency was too low, facing Chandler, he shook twice, made a layup, boom!

Ejected it......

Some people died, but not completely......
