Chapter 317: Kobe Bryant's Might
After the end of the second quarter, the Wizards also stretched the deficit to seven points at 62-55.
Now this game is so hard that almost everyone can't understand it!
First, the famous villain Artest was beaten by Li Kaiming, and then last season's championship team was pressed and beaten by the Wizards.
The fans who watched the game were in a trance when they saw the score at the end of half-time.
What's the situation, is this world still the one I'm familiar with?
The Wizards actually pressed the Lakers to play, it must have been me who got up......
The second half of the game began quickly, and Artest walked out of the tunnel with his head held high.
It was as if he was not fouled four times by Li Kaiming in the first half, but he made four fouls by Li Kaiming.
In the locker room, Artay was also mentored by team boss Kobe Bryant and head coach Phil Jackson.
A person like Atai just needs a tough boss to suppress him, otherwise with this guy's temper, the locker room would have been almost demolished!
And Kobe Bryant also happens to have Jordan-like paranoia, he and Artest can be said to be a natural pair!
Under the guidance of Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson, Artest's sanity regained the high ground of IQ, and he finally understood that he was completely toyed with by Li Kaiming in the first half!
So he asked the two of them very humbly, and then walked into the court with this secret book held high.
To put it simply, the weather is sunny and the rain has stopped, and I think I can do it again!
At the beginning of the second half, it was still the Wizards who served first.
The Wizards took the starting lineup, and Blatch sent the baseline ball to Hinrich, who dribbled to the frontcourt, and when Bracy was in place, the two men blocked it at the No. 5 position.
Blatche's downturn drew the attention of the Lakers, and Hinrich held the ball and broke inside.
The rest of the three Li Kaiming were not idle, and Li Kaiming blocked Kobe Bryant for Nick Young on the outside, who used the cover to a 45-degree position.
Hinrich gave Nick Young a pass inside and outside, and the latter took the ball and threw it, and won the three-point shot!
65 to 55!
The Wizards extended the margin to double digits!
The Lakers serve, Kobe Bryant asks for the ball directly after he arrives in the front court, the team is behind by double digits, and he has to stand up!
Fisher passed the ball to Kobe, who started directly the moment he received the ball, and then broke through to the basket half of Nick Young, a delicate lever dodged Blatche's block, and then hit a rebound!
The ball was played very beautifully, but Kobe Bryant also lost his balance because of it and fell outside the baseline.
Li Kaiming signaled Bradge to serve the ball quickly to him, and then took advantage of Kobe Bryant's efforts to get up yet, dribbled and rushed to the frontcourt, and then faced Odom outside the three-point line to pull out the three-point score and then score!
68 to 57!
The point difference is getting wider and wider, which is completely unacceptable in Kobe's opinion.
So after getting to the frontcourt, he asked for the ball directly, and then shot three points under the defense of Nick Young!
This kind of ball is Kobe Bryant's style, but unfortunately it was not scored.
With Blatch on the floor, the Wizards' rebounding protection doesn't count on Li Kaiming alone.
Blatch successfully protected the backcourt rebound to Hinrich, and Li Kaiming ran to the frontcourt, ready to play another fast break!
The Lakers returned to defense in time and directly eliminated the Wizards' intention to break fast.
Li Kaiming made a reverse run outside the three-point line, shook off Odom to catch the ball, and then suddenly changed direction.
Odom thought that Li Kaiming was going to break through to the inside line, so he subconsciously took a step back, and then moved in the direction of Li Kaiming's attack as he judged.
But this is just what Li Kaiming wants Odom to know, he pulls it back after a change of direction, and then puts his foot outside the three-point line, and shoots a three-pointer again!
With a bang, Li Kaiming hit three points in a row!
71 to 57!
Honk! Phil Jackson immediately applied for a timeout, and there was no need to watch it any longer, because it was almost garbage time!
Kobe Bryant walked back to the bench with a blushing face, losing to the same team in a row, and losing to a team like the Wizards at the level of "champions", in Kobe's opinion, it was simply a slap in the face!
So after arriving at the bench, before Phil Jackson spoke, Kobe Bryant made his attitude clear first.
"Give me the ball when you go on the court, that Li Kaiming don't let him shoot three points!"
Well, just cured of a mania, another paranoia!
Phil Jackson was a little speechless, this special coach is too difficult to be!
So he just emphasized the key points of defending Li Kaiming's three-point defense to the players, and then the timeout was over.
The Lakers served, and Fisher dribbled past half court and handed it directly to Kobe.
As soon as Nick Young, who defended Kobe, saw the former's posture, he knew that in the next period of time, his pressure might not be small!
Sure enough, Kobe Bryant faced Nick Young's defense and dangled directly outside the three-point line, and then broke through to the mid-range position to make a two-point stop-and-go jumper!
After the goal was scored, Kobe Bryant didn't do anything to celebrate, his face was still gloomy.
The Wizards attacked, and after Hinrich dribbled past half court, Li Kaiming also asked for the ball directly.
Odom posted it directly after seeing Li Kaiming get the ball on the outside, eager to test the strength of Li Kaiming's elbow with his face.
This kind of defense is to kill and don't want the ball carrier to shoot three points, and the way to crack it is also very simple, just break through with the ball.
Li Kaiming naturally saw the move, and after getting off the ball, he took a step past Odom, and then faced Artest's help defense, and made a quick stop in the middle distance.
The hot hand pressed the pause button, and the rebound was protected by Gasol.
Kobe Bryant once again singled Nick Young with the ball, and this time he broke through to the first step and met Sun Yue's card-swiping defense.
Bryant was blocked from the perimeter, but he again opted for a surprise shot.
Shoot from beyond the three-point line!
Nick Young didn't expect Kobe to play so boldly, and was caught off guard by the latter, hitting a three-point shot!
71-62, Bryant scored five points in a row after a timeout.
Seeing this scene, Li Kaiming's hands on the Wizards' side also began to itch!
Since the other side has already taken out the nuclear weapons first, there is naturally no need to hide them on your side!
Besides, he also wants to see how much difference there is between his offense and Kobe, the league's top scorer?
Playing in NbA, it's important to figure out where you want to be.
Otherwise, if you go to match the key, you will only get the heart-wrenching inquiry of the stall owner, "How many do you match".
After arriving at the frontcourt, Hinrich was about to reach out and ask Bradge to come out to cover, and then play one according to the tactics, but he didn't expect Li Kaiming to get stuck in the waist position Odom reached out to ask for the ball.
This situation can be said to be unaccustomed to it, and Li Kaiming does not fight according to tactics once or twice, but every time the results show that it is right to choose Li Kaiming.
Over time, Sinrich has completely believed in Li Kaiming, so after seeing Li Kaiming reach out for the ball, he did not hesitate to give the ball in.
After getting the ball, the Lakers' defense also shrank, and their defense of the restricted area was first-class.
However, Li Kaiming will not choose to force his head iron to break through the basket, and he has a variety of offensive options.
After receiving the ball, Li Kaiming directly made a quick turn, leaned on Odom to wipe it in, and then jumped directly before Gasol came to make up for it, aiming at the box on the board and gently flicking his wrist.
The basketball smashed into the frame as if it had a guidance system installed, and then bounced into the hoop.
Li Kaiming retreated, and turned his head to look at the front court and ran to Kobe.
And the latter also happened to turn his head to look at him, and the eyes of the two people met in the air, and there seemed to be a flash of electric light in the originally empty mid-air......
Li Kaiming's provocative gaze angered Kobe, and he also received the ball with his back in the waist position, and then turned around and leaned back without dribbling!
The difficulty of the ball was so high that Bryant lay flat almost in mid-air.
Nick Young defended very hard, but Bryant still hit this extremely difficult step-back jumper.
Li Kaiming is used to this, this is Kobe's style of playing, some players like to pick difficult balls, and people like Kobe Bryant like to play difficult balls.
In other words, Kobe Bryant is even more extreme than this realm, when he is on top, he can play a ball that is not difficult into a difficult ball.
Create difficulty without difficulty!
The Wizards served to the frontcourt, and Odom followed Li Kaiming inch by inch.
But Li Kaiming just braked suddenly, then shook his head and shook his shoulders, making a feint to change direction.
Odom immediately didn't know which direction to follow, and Li Kaiming took the opportunity to dodge directly to the outside, and at the same time Hinrich's pass also arrived.
After receiving the ball, Odom, who had been dumped before, also followed again as if he was haunted.
Li Kaiming observed the situation for a moment, and then began to find his rhythm with Odom's crotch dribble.
Odom's eyes were glued to Li Kaiming's waist, and professional players know that staring at this position is not easy to be deceived by the opponent's feints.
The corners of Li Kaiming's mouth were slightly hooked, and he suddenly increased the amplitude of the change of direction, and Odom, who could have been able to respond to all changes in place, couldn't stay in place for an instant.
With this change of direction, coupled with Li Kaiming's speed and leg length, as long as he wants, he can pass Odom in one step.
So Odom involuntarily began to swing with Li Kaiming's change of direction.
As soon as your opponent starts moving at their own pace, the change of direction is half the battle!
Li Kaiming added a change of rhythm to the large change of direction, which made Odom not know when he was going to break through.
After a few changes in rhythm, Odom even moved in one direction suddenly, because his brain thought that he had found the law of Li Kaiming's change of direction, so he controlled his body to predict and moved in that direction!
But the power of the rhythm change breakthrough is reflected here, when you think that the breakthrough time comes, he does not break through, and when you think he should be in the same place, he starts again!
Odom dodged a gap by himself, Li Kaiming naturally wouldn't let it go, lowered his shoulders and went directly into the inside, and then met Artest, who assisted in the defense!
The smile on Li Kaiming's face became brighter and brighter, if he could achieve two goals with one fast attack, it would be so cool!
Artest obviously didn't know what Li Kaiming was thinking, he only knew that he had a chance to take revenge!
