"Lesson 3 ......"

On the field, Zhou Quan's on-site teaching came again, "Colander, your defense is too passive, I have already warned you, you don't interrupt my breakthrough rhythm first, sit back and wait for me to break through, give up the defensive initiative, it's just stupid!"

Even if you just reached out and poked the ball, even if you couldn't, there was a chance to interrupt my breakthrough rhythm, you know, colander? ”

"Understood!"

Bryant nodded, not gritting his teeth this time.

Jordan also taught him yesterday to be active and aggressive in defense, but now Zhou Quan's teaching is ten times deeper than Jordan's.

On the sidelines, Jordan turned his head to Magic Johnson and the others and said: "This game is like this, Kobe Bryant has been completely controlled by the iron fist, and his attention is no longer on the game."

Iron Fist told him this, told him that, but didn't remind him that this was a game, not a training ground, and that winning or losing was the most important thing in a game, and the attention to the game was the most important thing. ”

Abdul-Jabbar smiled bitterly: "There is no doubt that the current Iron Fist, even if he hasn't fought for two years, is more powerful than he was before he retired." ”

Magic Johnson nodded: "Kobe Bryant is inexperienced, he is still too young, and he is distracted by the so-called live teaching of the Iron Fist King, and he has completely lost his attention to the game."

Barkley sneered and said, "Even if he concentrates on his strength, can he beat the Iron Fist King?" The Lakers are doomed, and maybe they will be swept again. ”

"What, are you licking your iron fist now?" Magic Johnson said angrily.

"Who licked him? Erwyn, believe it or not I'm beating you? Barkley said angrily.

Magic Johnson didn't dare to stimulate Barkley anymore, his relationship with Barkley was not as good as Barkley and Jordan, it was just ordinary, and if he was beaten here, it would be a shame.

In this game, it is indeed as Jordan said, Kobe's mind was completely controlled by Zhou Quan, although he got a lot of Zhou Quan's guidance, but after the first quarter, 37:17, the Lakers have lost by 20 points.

This is still the result of O'Neal sparing his physical strength and continuous strong attacks under the basket to chase points, shooting 4 of 8 in a single quarter, 3 of 10 free throws, and 11 points in a single quarter, otherwise the difference will be even greater.

But the three supersonic meat shields adopted tough top-carrying tactics, which also made O'Neal's physical consumption very large, and once O'Neal received the ball under the basket, he also decisively adopted foul tactics, O'Neal's efficiency was not high, and the free throws gave him a headache.

Zhou Quan shot 12 of 12 in the first quarter, 5 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, and his state was super explosive, with a 100% shooting rate, and he scored 31 points in a single quarter, breaking his own record of 30 points in a single quarter of the playoffs set in the G2 game of the '96 Western Conference Finals.

In that game, he not only scored 30 points in a single quarter, but also played the second single-game 50+ in the playoffs of his career, and at the same time made 7 three-pointers in the half, which also broke Jordan's record of 6 three-pointers in the playoff half.

In addition, he singled out 4 steals of Kobe Bryant, allowing Kobe Bryant to shoot 1 out of 5 and score only two points.

"Iron Fist! Tekken ......"

At the end of the first quarter, the Staples Center resounded with a huge shout of "Iron Fist".

Under Zhou Quan's continuous on-site teaching, Kobe, who felt that he had gained a lot, heard the deafening shouts and saw the dazzling score difference, and suddenly felt very dazed.

He had a feeling that he had suddenly woken up, that he had been fooled, that he had been fooled, that he was going to lose this game.

Seeing Kobe Bryant's eyes looking at him, Zhou Quan scolded angrily: "What do you see, I taught you wrong?" Practice what I taught you for a few years, and at my age, you should have a chance to beat me. ”

When Kobe Bryant heard this, his mentality collapsed instantly, and even the corners of his eyes were about to explode.

I'm still six years old when you're now, and in six years I'll be 28 years old, and you'll be 34 years old, and you just have a chance to beat you, I'm so useless, are you that strong?

"You're not convinced?" Zhou Quan asked.

"Of course I'm not convinced." Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth.

Zhou Quan smiled: "How old is Jordan now?" ”

“37。” Bryant Road.

"Can you beat him now?" Zhou Quan asked.

When Kobe Bryant heard this, he instantly thought of the one-on-one result with Jordan yesterday, and he couldn't win against Jordan, who is now 37 years old.

This result suddenly made him collapse + dazed.

Even the 37-year-old Jordan can't win, how can he win the stronger and younger 34-year-old Iron Fist King?

At this time, Zhou Quan comforted: "Don't be depressed, you will definitely be stronger than you are now." And you have to know that Jordan also won his first championship at the age of 28. Remember, Kobe Bryant, 28 years old is the peak of a man. ”

“……”

Kobe Bryant opened his mouth, and although he felt a little better, he was still very sad in his heart.

Zhou Quan patted Kobe Bryant on the shoulder and said, "Kobe, there are still three quarters to go, I will continue to teach you how to play, don't waste a good opportunity, I rarely teach people to play like this." ”

"Poof! Hey, hey, haha......"

When the big worm Rodman standing behind Zhou Quan heard this, he finally couldn't help it, and squatted on the floor with a smile.

"Humph!"

Bryant glared at Zhou Quan and Rodman and walked to the bench.

"Kobe, how do you want to play in the second quarter? Or continue to let Tekken teach you how to play? Phil Jackson asked, staring at Bryant.

Kobe Bryant was silent, you're the head coach, you ask me?

Phil Jackson saw Kobe Bryant like this, he had a splitting headache, you are so silent, what is it if you don't speak?

"This is a harder guy than Jordan." That's what he's thinking right now.

Kobe's state is actually quite collapsed now, not because his mental quality is not good enough, but because his performance tonight is too sparse.

On the defensive end, the Iron Fist King scored 31 points in a single quarter on his head, breaking the historical record, and on the offensive end, he only scored two points and made a whopping 6 turnovers.

Such a performance made him already doubt his life.

"Am I really so bad in front of Iron Fist?" His eyes were red, and when he felt that something was about to leak out, he quickly put a towel over his face.

O'Neal was next to Kobe Bryant, and he was in a terrible mood.

"This bastard, bastard, is he trying to sweep me? Can you still be friends? ”

The thought of being swept again, being swept for three years in a row, and then getting the nickname "The Swept King", he had the urge to turn his anger into food, kill ten super beef burgers, and then go and beat up the Iron Fist King.

"Anger fills me with hunger, it makes me hungry, why? Don't...... Is this a disease? ”

He began to think crankily and felt more and more hungry.

In New York, Stern knew that the SuperSonics were a win tonight, and it was useless for the referees to help.

The referee also blew a lot of whistles from Ben Wallace and several other supersonic insiders in the first quarter, and O'Neal made 10 free throws in the first quarter, but the big shark free throws were too uncompetitive and couldn't eat the benefits of the home whistle.

And the rising star, Kobe Bryant, who is also quite optimistic, behaves like an amateur player in front of the Iron Fist King.

"It seems that among the younger generation, I still have to look at Iverson."

Next, if the Lakers still have a chance, it is to penalize several supersonic interior players, and they have a lot of fouls.

But he didn't want to do that, he definitely didn't want to provoke the Iron Fist King, so tonight's whistle didn't have any bias towards the Iron Fist King.

But tonight's ratings were very good, surpassing 45 million, purely because of the super performance of the King of Tekken.

"If you are swept, you will be swept, I hope the Lakers will be stronger next season, and it will be good for the OK combination to win one or two games." That's all he can think about now.

In the Staples Center, the OK combination who was unwilling to be swept came on in the third minute of the second quarter, and Zhou Quan also played together.

"Kobe, teaching continues." He said to Kobe Bryant with a smile.

"I don't need you to teach me." Kobe Bryant's eyes breathed fire.

"That's not up to you." Zhou Quan said with a smile still on his face.

Kobe Bryant's teeth were about to be crushed, gurgling, and his fists were about to bleed, and this sentence of the Iron Fist King made him realize the true meaning of the weak and having no rights.

Seeing Kobe Bryant's appearance, Zhou Quan shook his head helplessly and said: "Forget it, Kobe, you can't even bear this pressure, if I take back what I just said, even if you are Jordan's current age, you can't beat me." ”

"You?"

Kobe Bryant, when I was 37 years old, you were 43 years old, do you fight me in a wheelchair?

In the next game, Kobe Bryant seemed to be breaking the jar and breaking down, and he wanted to take the initiative to apply for the game, defending Zhou Quan like crazy, and launched a real stalking defense, a mad dog-like defense.

This kind of defense, there are too many small movements, and there are a lot of elbow movements, and the movements are very large, just to go to the foul.

The referee will not easily blow Zhou Quan's foul, but he also does not blow Kobe's whistle easily, and Kobe Bryant can't eat the dividends of the home whistle, but under his foul defense, it does affect Zhou Quan's offense.

Under Kobe Bryant's continuous defense, Zhou Quan only scored one of the first three shots, while O'Neal made two of three shots, and scored 5 points with free throws, 39:22, and the Lakers chased the difference to 17 points.

After defending against the next two balls, Kobe's morale skyrocketed, swept away the previous collapse and dazedness, and said in a mocking tone: "Iron Fist King, you want to sweep us, don't dream." ”

Before the start of the Western Finals, Zhou Quan really didn't have the idea of sweeping the Lakers, and O'Neal, with a tonnage of nearly 150 kilograms, was indeed too strong.

But after the first two games, the performance of the OK combination was average, and in the case of him beating Kobe, and in the case of Ben Wallace and several people covering O'Neal, the big shark was also greatly affected.

So when it came to the G3 battle, he did have the idea of sweeping the Lakers, otherwise he wouldn't have done his best today, and he didn't have a trace of Kobe Bryant.

Today, he made an all-out attack on Kobe Bryant in all aspects, and even used psychological warfare to carry out a psychological blow from the mental level, which made Kobe almost collapse.

But Kobe Bryant is really good, like Jordan, he is a small strong, strong-willed, can't chew or chew, and it seems to have collapsed, and after preventing two balls, this morale looks up again.

"These little powerhouses still have to be pressed and rubbed on the floor!"

Looking at Kobe Bryant's unruly face, he shook his head, the young man now, he owes a little training.

Next, he began to continue to attack Kobe Bryant with all his might.

After the second quarter, Kobe's morale was lost again.

Zhou Quan shot with all his strength in the second quarter for ten minutes, 4 of 8 shots, 3 of 5 shots, missed one three-point shot, 4 free throws and 4 hits, scored 12 points in a single quarter, and scored 43 points in the half.

The offensive end is okay, far less terrifying than in the first quarter, Kobe's kind of defense did affect his play, but his performance on the defensive end was the reason for Kobe's demoralization, and Kobe Bryant was in pain in the second quarter, and he made three steals of Kobe.

Bryant had another 5 turnovers in the second quarter, shooting 0-of-6 without scoring a point, and 11 turnovers at halftime and scoring just 2 points.

O'Neal exploded with all his might in the second quarter, completely sparing no physical strength, shooting 6 of 9 and 3 of 8 free throws, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, 10 of 17 shots in the second quarter, 6 of 18 free throws, and scoring 26 points in the half.

But his performance did not allow the Lakers to catch up with the score, because Kobe Bryant was kept clean by Zhou Quan in the second quarter, because the Lakers' bench lineup is not as good as the SuperSonics.

At halftime, 62:39, the Lakers trailed by 23 points, and the difference widened by 3 points.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan, 43 points, breaking Michael Jordan's record of 35 points in a playoff half." Bill Wharton said with a smile.

Speaking of which, he said to Ranbier: "Brother Beal, Iron Fist's highest single-game score in the playoffs is 62 points, played in the '97 Finals, and the first single-game score in the playoffs is Jordan's 63 points, do you think he may break the all-time record of 63 points tonight?" ”

Ranbir said in a mocking tone: "Then the Lakers don't surrender, if the Lakers surrender, how shameless does that kid with Iron Fist have to be to go up and score points?" ”

Bill Wharton opened his mouth, feeling that he and Ranbier were likely to follow in the footsteps of Barkley and Kenny Smith.

Will the Lakers surrender?

Absolutely not, if the Lakers dare to surrender after only two quarters at home tonight, the Los Angeles people will not just cheer for the Iron Fist King, they will probably cheer for the Lakers like the New Yorkers did for the Knicks.

Just like that, the Angelenos can also see the Iron Fist Champion play a super performance and let them have a good time, which is the most important thing for the Lakers to do.

At this time, the morale of the home team's locker room is very low.

Phil Jackson certainly wasn't going to think about surrendering, losing by just 23 points at halftime, and he experienced it with the Bulls, and it was the Finals.

Kobe Bryant will not surrender, even if he was demoralized by Zhou Quan, he never thought of giving up, and like Jordan, he does not have the word "give up" in his dictionary, and he has to play if he loses.

O'Neill was also not reconciled, he did not want to bear the nickname "swept king".

So although the morale of the Lakers is low, because of these three people, they are not so low that they collapse, not to the point of giving up the game, after all, it is only 23 points, ten points in one quarter, and there should be a chance to get it back in the second half, not to the point of despair.

O'Neill pulled out a large burger from his closet and began to nibble wildly, killing half of it in a few bites.

Kobe Bryant said a little unhappily: "Shaq, you have a good appetite!" ”
