Chapter 301: How Can It Be So Similar?
The three commentators faced the camera, with a cheerful tone, chatting and introducing various news before the game.
It wasn't until the big screen showed the starting line-ups of both sides that the three of them converged a bit, and Sturantz began to introduce tonight's starting line-up.
Los Angeles Lakers: Point guard Derrick Fisher, point guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Meta Wald Pain, power forward Lamar Odom, center Pau Gasol.
Washington Wizards: Point guard Simridge, point guard Nick Young, small forward Sun Yue, power forward Li Kaiming, center Andre Blach.
And such a key game naturally became the one that Chinese fans were most concerned about that day.
Due to the late start time of tonight's game, it is close to noon on the Huaguo side, so whether it is the official sports channel of Huaguo or Sohu Sports, another online live broadcast room, the ratings have increased to a new high since the beginning of this season!
In the studio of Huaguo Sports Channel, Zhang Weiping directed, Su Qun and Yang Yi sat in the middle.
The three discussed the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and waited for the game to begin.
At this moment, only a whistle was heard on the screen of the broadcast signal!
Zhang Weiping was the first to come back to his senses and immediately said, "The game begins!" Audience friends, what you are seeing now is the live broadcast of the Amerika men's professional basketball regular season on December 8, against the Washington Wizards led by Chinese player Li Kaiming and the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant. Both sides jumped the ball, Pau Gasol won, and the Lakers attacked first! ”
Ci Shiping grabbed the basketball that Gasol had dialed over, and then handed it to Fisher to dribble to the frontcourt.
The Lakers started playing triangle offense as soon as they started, which was also the famous tactic of Zen master Phil Jackson.
Gasol mentioned the position of the free throw line, and after receiving a pass from Fisher, he looked at the frame, two players at 45 degrees from the outside and two cross-runs from the bottom corner.
The Wizards' defense is still dominated by the inside, because the Lakers' three-point shooting is also average.
But sometimes it's not like you can block it on the defensive end, Gasol found that his teammates didn't create a chance in the run, so he started to play the ball directly, broke through one step into the penalty area and turned his back, arched two steps in, and then turned directly sideways and hooked his hand!
2 to 0! The Lakers scored the first point of the game!
Although Gasol is a big man from Europe, he must not be compared to the traditional white bears.
As a 2001 scout, Gasol has a pair of long arms that the average white center doesn't have, and his athleticism is also very good on the inside.
Although his whole body looks slender, he is very tough against it!
At the 2008 Huadu Olympics, Gasol did not fall behind in the face of the peak Yao Ming, which shows that the confrontation is not weak at all.
Brac was almost powerless in the face of Gasol's singles, and even the latter's inside line couldn't stop it!
The Wizards served to Hinrich, who dribbled to the frontcourt, faced Fisher's defensive options and Brackey's pick-and-roll, and then broke through to hit the ball halfway to Bracch, who was on the lower line.
It was a good chance, but Gasol showed his quality on the defensive end.
Although Gasol was one position ahead of Bracchi without the ball in this defense, Gasol still managed to interfere with Bradge's shot and then pick up the rebound with his terrifying long arms, as well as excellent positional awareness and defensive skills.
After Fisher took the ball, he gave Kobe Bryant, who took the ball and broke through directly against Nick Young's defense, and then went to the mid-range to make a stop-and-go jump shot and hit it in style!
4 to 0!
Braci was almost depressed by Gasol alone, and Gasol was crushed and beaten at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
After the Wizards served the baseline ball, Hinrich handed the ball to Li Kaiming in the first half, and at this time the Wizards players were used to giving the ball to this young man, because in their eyes, this guy is omnipotent!
As soon as Li Kaiming got the ball outside the three-point line, Odom immediately posted it, whether it was observation on the pre-game training court or game video, he told Odom that the guy in front of him must not give any space outside the three-point line!
Li Kaiming held the ball and observed the situation, and found that no one else on the Lakers team came to cover the clip, and it seemed that he believed in Odom's single defense ability.
It is just right not to wrap the clip!
Li Kaiming took a big step back and got off the ball, and then connected a step-by-step breakthrough, taking advantage of his leg length, and stepped directly to Odom's side in one step!
This scared Odom enough!
He just heard that Li Kaiming was fast, so he was prepared in his heart, thinking that Li Kaiming's speed was the type that was fast in the inner line.
But this first alignment let him know that the speed of this guy in front of him is at the outside level at all, and even if it is the outside line, it is the top batch!
This is just the right hit on Odom's weak point.
On the defensive end, he is most afraid of two types of No. 4 positions, one is a Randolph-type Hercules, and the other is a fast breakaway player.
Odom's movement speed in the No. 4 position is very good, but compared to the speed of Li Kaiming's outside elite, it is one heaven and one underground!
Li Kaiming almost passed Odom in one step, and the latter reacted, and reluctantly followed Li Kaiming's side with a surprised expression on his face.
Gasol could see it clearly, so when Li Kaiming passed Odom, he was ready to help defend.
But Li Kaiming will not force a breakthrough to the basket to challenge Gasol, the latter's arm span is really terrifying, not to mention the high hit rate, and the consumption of physical strength is also very large.
So he broke through to the three-point line and shot directly on the edge of the penalty area!
Odom tried desperately to interfere, but the ball still hit steadily!
4 to 2!
Marco Jackson in the commentary seat smiled after seeing this scene, "Li Kaiming's shot is very similar to Kobe's!" ”
Sturantz and Joel Myers, who were next to them, frowned, "Where's the like?" You're dazzled when you're only in your forties? ”
Marco Jackson had a mysterious smile on his face, "You don't understand, this ball seems very similar to me, and I'm definitely not the only one here who thinks so!" ”
Sturantz and Joel Myers glanced at each other, and their faces showed puzzled expressions, not knowing what kind of medicine Marco Jackson was selling in his gourd!
The game continued, and after the Lakers served to the frontcourt, Odom became the initiator of the offense this time, and after he was stuck in the waist position, he received a pass from the outside and Gasol played an inside cross.
Li Kaiming and Bracchi did not communicate in time on the defensive end, and were found by Gasol, who threw and scored another 2 points after receiving the ball!
6 to 2!
In the Huaguo studio, Zhang Weiping sighed after seeing this scene, "The Wizards' defense is like heaven and earth compared to the Lakers!" ”
Yang Yi next to him interjected with a smile, "Coach Zhang, do you compare a rebuilding team with a championship team?" Then you have to think about whether you expect too much from the Wizards! ”
Zhang Weiping was stunned after hearing this, yes!
According to the prediction before the start of the season, it would be good for the Wizards not to compete for the championship this season, and now it is even more unexpected for most people to play in the playoff range.
Thinking of this, Zhang Weiping couldn't help but sigh that Li Kaiming's appearance really gave Wizards fans too much confidence......
On the court, the Wizards served and attacked, and after Hinrich and Li Kaiming blocked and dismantled, the latter received the ball down and encountered the Lakers' bag near the free throw line.
Although Bradge on the inside line is unguarded, the passing space is blocked by Gasol, and he can't find a chance at all!
In desperation, after Li Kaiming turned around, he dodged Odom's block in the air and forcibly shot!
Tonight's god of luck was on his side, and the basketball flew out of his fingertips, smashed into the rectangular frame on the rebound, and bounced into the basket!
6 to 4!
Li Kaiming single-handedly swept all the Wizards' scores!
This scene surprised both Sturantz and Joel Myers in the commentary box!
Like, it's too similar!
Before Marco Jackson said that Li Kaiming's shooting was similar to Kobe, they didn't agree, but this time the feeling of forcing the shot was carved out of the same mold as Kobe!
However, Li Kaiming looks much more comfortable than Kobe Bryant because of his tall stature, but even so, the three commentators still reached an agreement at once!
Even the commentators outside the court can see it, how can Kobe Bryant, who is in the court, not see it!
Not only did he see it, but he saw it more clearly!
However, in his heart, Li Kaiming's shooting posture is actually not very similar to him, the former's rhythm and posture are more like a large Jordan, because the hardware conditions are good, and the shooting action is more crisp.
Whether it is like Jordan or himself, Li Kaiming's shot this time has undoubtedly aroused Kobe's competitiveness!
He would never allow his opponent to go wild in front of him, so he decided to do it himself for the Lakers' next offense!
Seeing Kobe Bryant asking for the ball with his back in the waist position, the fans at the Staples Center began to cheer!
The Black Mamba is going to be powerful!
Fisher expertly hoisted the ball from the outside into Bryant's hand, who jammed Nick Young with his body and received the pass with ease.
Defending Kobe's singles was the focus of Sanders' pre-game arrangement, so as soon as Kobe received the ball, Blatch under the basket and Hinrich on the outside moved towards Kobe's position.
After Kobe Bryant received the ball, he went directly down to the ball and hit it back, staring at Nick Young to compress the space inside.
As he grew older, Bryant's running and jumping ability began to decline, so in recent years he began to gain weight, learning the style of Jordan at the end of his career, and turned into a relentless back-hitting machine.
At this time, Kobe Bryant, as a guard, is completely worthy of most forwards in terms of strength, coupled with his amazing back skills, almost no one in the league can guard against his singles.
Nick Young naturally couldn't stop Kobe, and he was easily pushed into it by the latter.
Blatche, who was under the basket, looked at this posture, and if he didn't go up to help defend Kobe, he was about to reach the basket!
So Bradge pounced without hesitation, and at the same time, Li Kaiming on the other side also quickly rotated to the basket to protect the backcourt rebound.
But what Brazy didn't expect was that Kobe Bryant seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and when he first started, he directly turned around and made a backward jumper!
The basketball flew into the hoop with the fingertips of Bradge and Nick Young!
8 to 4!
A cheer from the Staples Center!
"Thank you for the monthly pass rewarded by Zongheng Book Friend [Infinite Divine]!"
