"It's not a wise thing to provoke Jordan."

That's the conclusion that everyone else came to when Jordan was still in the league.

The reason for this is because Jordan's talent and strength were already out of gear in the NBA league at that time.

He said that he was the first, and he would never be like a bunch of people in the future who would argue that he was not worthy of being the first.

And Jordan's personality, which can also be felt in the intersection with Xu Yong, belongs to the Jianwei type.

This kind of person provokes him on the court, which is not necessarily a good thing.

Kobe Bryant, who behaves a lot like Jordan on the court, seems to be the same kind of person.

But Xu Yong can completely feel that they are completely different.

The desire to win that Kobe Bryant showed on the court was a strict requirement for himself, not his nature.

And because of Kobe's talent, even if he is already the first person in the league, it is difficult for him to dominate the game at the level of Jordan.

These two factors will make Kobe Bryant very unique at some point.

That's right, alone.

Because of Kobe's passing, fans will not mention this word again out of respect.

But in fact, [ferric tetroxide] [Milan little blacksmith] [listen to the boss play] [Kobe highlights. MP3】【. look] These are the royal words of the Kehei back then.

Kobe Bryant prefers to believe in himself, which is the state he is in after being provoked.

So Xu Yong is not worried about angering Kobe, and even hopes to anger Kobe.

Because Gasol is not here tonight, and the rest of the Lakers can't give Kobe enough support due to state issues, consuming Kobe Bryant is the right thing to do.

Kobe, after all, is 31 years old.

As a result, fans witnessed the scene of Kobe Bryant and Xu Yong scoring each other in this section.

Although Kobe Bryant is obviously better on the scene, Xu Yong's temperament of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers is also very impressive.

At halftime, the score was 43-50.

Bryant scored 20 points in the second quarter and had already scored 30 points at halftime.

Fans in Los Angeles are cheering on their heroes.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 68-73, and the Lakers still held the lead.

Bryant scored another 11 points in the third quarter, and by the end of the third quarter, he had already scored a season-high 41 points.

It's just that when Xu Yong led the team to tie the score in the fourth quarter and the Lakers called a timeout, the fans at the scene felt that the momentum seemed to be a little wrong.

Phil Jackson's face could not see any emotional changes at this time, but he did have some helplessness in his heart.

There are also strategies on the court, some are conspiracies, some are yang schemes, and what is now on the table is yang schemes.

He kind of missed Gasol's time on the court, Gasol's strength may not be the best, but it is the best for this Lakers team.

If he is there, even if others are not in good shape, he will not be helpless because of this kind of conspiracy.

The Bulls' bench.

Xu Yong was gasping for air, this was his NBA, no, the most physically demanding game since he was reborn, bigger than the defensive game he played in the NCAA when he played UCLA.

Although Kobe is not as good as Jordan, he is still a lot better than Jordan, and he is still a lot better than others, and defending him is a very physically demanding thing.

Not to mention that he not only has to defend, but he also has to score points on the offensive end, especially on Kobe's head.

Even though he scored 24 points, a team-high score, he knew he couldn't do it again in the first three quarters.

He looked at Rose.

Rose was also looking at him at this time.

The two still didn't communicate verbally, but Rose nodded, he knew what Xu Yong meant.

After the timeout, the main players of both sides came on as early substitutes, and the game came to the final decisive moment.

Bryant didn't rush to attack after he came back, and the short rest couldn't make up for his consumption in the first three quarters, and now the score is deadlocked, and he needs to retain his fitness until the final decisive moment.

Bynum then held Noah high under the basket and finally wiped the board to score a goal.

The Lakers fans at the scene also burst into cheers, they really need Bynum's performance.

However, before their cheers fell, Rose went straight inside and made Bynum's fourth defensive foul.

After Rose went to the free throw line, he gave his stats for tonight, with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

This is the second time that he has scored 20 points since more than half a month since the opening game.

And he scored a lot, but the physical exertion seemed to be very small, and he hit two free throws in the face of the interference of the whole court, raising his personal score to 22 points.

The Lakers continued to feed Bynum in the frontcourt, and Bynum confidently turned and hooked his hand to shoot again.

But this time, Noah was accurate in his prediction and touched the ball directly.

This ball, covered!

The crowd that was still cheering in the previous round reached out to cover their faces in this round.

The difference between a small shark and a big shark is just a big and a small one, but the difference is 108,000 miles.

Noah turned around and picked up the rebound, and threw a long throw directly to the outside Rose, Rose jumped up to catch the ball, and after landing on the ground, he saw Fisher directly turn over the ball and divide it, and then run towards the front court at full speed.

Kobe Bryant has preemptively pursued the defense, but he can't catch up.

One is that his physical energy is consumed by Xu Yong and cannot be recovered, and the other is that Ross is too fast!

The feeling of people running in front and soul chasing behind, Rose's forward rush visual effect is full.

And people really don't slow down.

After sprinting to the three-second zone of the frontcourt, he jumped straight to his feet, adjusted his stance in the air, and then pulled the ball high with both hands, and completed the finishing .gif with his trademark belly and belly slam without pulling the frame and landing on one foot.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Xu Yong watched Rose's breakthrough every chance after so many games, and he finally caught something at this time.

That's Rose's non-slowdown, not that he has unusual abilities, but that he put the adjustment of the end in the air to do it.

It sounds outrageous, but it does seem like that.

Because most people break through, why slow down before the end? In fact, it is an adjustment.

Reality is not a game after all, it's not like pressing an accelerator button and passing, your finishing action takes time to do.

And Ross cleverly took advantage of his good time in the air.

After realizing this, Xu Yong was very excited.

Because he is actually worried about a problem, that is, Rose is a guard, he is a striker, and the difference in height and center of gravity between the two is that even if he learns it, he may be useless.

But now it seems that under this logic, he can apply what he has learned.

Bryant started to slow down at the three-point line and then stopped at the free-throw line.

He took a breath and realized that this game was going to be difficult for the Lakers.

In the end, Kobe Bryant, who was forced to play early, failed to bring the game to the decisive moment, and the score on the court was fixed at 96-103.

The Bulls, in a surprise win over the Lakers on the road, ended their four-game losing streak.

In terms of statistics, Bryant scored a game-high 49 points on 15-of-35 shooting, plus 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

On the Bulls' side, Rose scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, scoring 30 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and Xu Yong had 28 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Xu Yong refreshed his own single-game high score for two consecutive games, and the two combined for 58 points exceeded half of the team's score.

After the game, the two teams had a post-match handshake.

At this time, the difference was reflected, Kobe Bryant did not lose the player tunnel like James, but stayed and shook hands with everyone on the Bulls.

And, when shaking hands with Xu Yong, he also took the initiative to hug Xu Yong, and patted Xu Yong's shoulder and said "good fight".

Just like Xu Yong thought, Kobe Bryant is not Jordan's kind of person in personality.

Of course, Kobe Bryant also has his personality traits.

Because after shaking hands with Xu Yong, he said to Xu Yong: "I will definitely win it back next time." ”

Xu Yong smiled and didn't speak.

Saying this, Gasol returned, and the Lakers after adjusting their condition, although Artest became Ariza, they are still the champions.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that they won tonight, which would be a huge morale boost for the Bulls.

At the press conference after the game, Xu Yong and Rose attended together.

The reporters interviewed Xu Yong, although his score was not as high as Ross, but he and Kobe Bryant's offense and defense throughout the game was the best part of tonight's game.

You must know that it is Kobe, the first person in the league, and he is the master, not to mention the average rookie who opened a single with him, and there are only a few who dare to challenge him.

However, Xu Yong intentionally or unintentionally shifted the focus of the press conference to Rose.

Because he knows what this game means to Rose, although it may not make Rose completely back in shape all at once, it will definitely be better than before.

And it's not surprising that reporters are doing this, after all, Xu Yong's team attributes are now clear to the media.

After the press conference, Xu Yong and Rose walked outside together.

"Xu, do you have time when you get back to Chicago?" Ross rarely took the initiative to speak to Xu Yong.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xu Yong looked at Rose suspiciously.

"I want to invite you to my house for a meal." Ross continued.

Xu Yong laughed when he heard this, he knew what Ross meant by this, this was to thank him by inviting him to dinner.

"No problem." Xu Yong readily agreed.

First, he also wanted to get to know Rose's brothers, who had received help from others last time, so he should be somewhat grateful.

Second, he could feel that the progress bar of his [Change of Direction without Slowing Down] was full at this time, and it took an opportunity to start the strategy, which was a very good opportunity.
