Chapter 134: Peak Showdown, Please Enter the Urn!
Back up front, but this time Doon didn't run low to catch the ball.
It's still quite physically draining to be entangled with Kobe, which is a bit detrimental to Doon's next scoring method.
In order to minimize physical contact and save more energy, Doon took the ball directly from beyond the three-point line.
Bryant saw Doon pose as a triple threat, and was vaguely worried that Doon was passing the ball to his teammates.
Doon's organizational skills, as a former teammate, Kobe Bryant has seen it with his own eyes.
"You don't want to be a coward and suddenly regret it, do you?"
Bryant irritates Doon with trash talk, and Doon just smiles crookedly.
I saw Doon's right foot tentatively step, Kobe Bryant hurriedly took a small step with his left foot and retreated half a step, and Doon saw this and changed to a cross step to break through to the left.
Bryant reacted quickly, immediately shifted his body's weight to his right foot, and quickly moved sideways to block Doon's breakthrough path.
I don't want Doon to suddenly make a sudden stop to the crotch and step back, retreat to the three-point line and immediately jump and shoot.
According to today's combination rules, Doon is suspected of stealing the ball, but Doon's dribbling and shooting actions are very coherent, and he is the star of Kobe Bryant, so the referee naturally did not intervene too much.
Regarding Doon's singles after the tentative step, Kobe Bryant also said that there was no problem.
Seeing that Doon finished his shot and he couldn't block it in time, Bryant just immediately looked back to check Doon's shot.
I saw that the basketball was flying towards the basket accurately, until it fell into the net, and the basketball was still spinning.
"This ball...... How do you look so much like my good brother Tracey?
By the way, Doon said earlier that he practiced with Tracy and Shaq in the summer.
Did he master Tracy's technique? No, it must be that his hand feels too good, he can't make every shot, and the hand feels so good! ”
Maddie is undoubtedly Kobe's good brother, as the league's number one microphone, Kobe has always admired Maddy's ability and envied Maddie's talent.
Kobe Bryant knows Maddie very well, and he also knows Doon last season, but the strength that Doon showed this time is faintly close to Maddy's level.
This surprised Bryant, but after thinking about it, he immediately denied it.
Why did Doon make so much progress in just one summer?
And how many summers did he try to master Jordan's technique?
By the time Kobe Bryant threw out the distracting thoughts in his mind and became serious again, Doon had already returned to the backcourt at this time and was ready for it.
Instead of taking the ball in the high post like Doon, Bryant continued to let his teammates pull away, clearing the side for him to single Doon in the low post.
is also because the players of both teams are very cooperative, and tonight's game, at least in the first quarter, is a one-on-one battle between Doon and Kobe.
Bryant used his body and technique, first with his back to his back, then with his feet, and finally to shoot to finish.
Doon has defended to the extreme, but he was still forced to score a goal by Kobe.
"So strong, so handsome, Kobe Bryant is serious!"
"Kobe Bryant won four championships with Shaq!
We all know that Shaq is the boss of the team, but in fact, Kobe Bryant is also very strong, but his light is covered by Shaq!
Therefore, it is not surprising that Kobe Bryant forced the team to trade Shaq.
And facing his former teammate Doon, who won the fourth crown together, especially Doon, who was hot tonight.
Kobe Bryant can't admit defeat anyway!
Maybe tonight's Doon can inspire the strongest Kobe Bryant we have never seen! ”
"Tonight's game was so much fun! The next step will definitely be more exciting!
Come on, Doon, I hope you can continue to maintain your hot hand and tough defense!
Show me what you're really capable of! Even after I leave Los Angeles, I will continue to support you! ”
Because Doon performed well, Kobe Bryant seemed to perform better, and the Lakers fans at the scene also began to cheer for Doon and Kobe Bryant.
Most fans like to watch the game of the star's strong dialogue, and Doon, who played against Kobe Bryant tonight, is a rookie cultivated by the Lakers themselves.
Lakers fans naturally have a different affection for Doane.
When Doon heard the cheers of the fans at the scene, his blood began to boil.
However, in addition to the excitement, Doon became more calm.
"Kobe, you hit yours, mine hit mine, watch the game is over, who can have the last laugh!"
"A three-point shot is always one more point than a two-point shot!
I shoot threes, you shoot two, even if you shoot a little bit higher than me, so what?
In short, the advantage is mine! ”
Doon knows very well in his heart that if he wants to win tonight's game, he needs the help of both his teammates and Kobe's cooperation.
In this case, Doon needs to surpass Kobe Bryant in scoring data in a short period of time, and even open up the gap to attract Kobe's attention and let Kobe continue to fall into the singles trap.
At the same time, Doon also needs to save more physical strength in the first three quarters and win the key moments in the fourth quarter with practical actions.
This proves that he did not rely on his teammates to win the game, but on his own strength to defeat Kobe.
And the most energy-saving, and at the same time the most explosive way to score the most offensive way, in addition to shooting three-pointers, what else can it be?
Oh yes, and there's an amazing one-pointer for scoring.
Tonight, Doon is looking for Kobe Bryant to touch porcelain, which will undoubtedly make the game several notches lower than the spectacle.
Taking a step back, even if you win a game with this kind of defense, you will be criticized.
Therefore, in the strong dialogue, it is no problem to make some small cleverness by making fouls, and if you keep pretending to be smart, you will treat others as fools.
Having said that, after Bryant scored a single shot, the Bulls quickly served from the baseline.
In order to save energy, Doon also continued to hand the ball to Ben Gordon to dribble.
After coming to the frontcourt, Doon continued to receive the ball outside the three-point line and singled Kobe Bryant with a face.
In order to limit Doon's breakthrough, Kobe Bryant went directly to defense.
Now the no handcheck rule has actually been released, but the on-site referee did not blow it, and obviously did not take this new rule seriously.
In fact, it wasn't until the '05 Finals Pistons and Spurs defensive battle that the ratings were seriously affected that the league really strictly enforced the No Handcheck rule.
Therefore, if Doon wants to eat the version bonus, it will take some time.
At least for stars like Kobe, for the time being, they have to stay under the handcheck rule.
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. In the face of Kobe's defense, Doon first tried to swing his arm and elbow, trying to get a certain breakthrough and shooting space.
Bryant hurriedly changed hands and continued to support Doon's waist, and Doon could only pass the ball to his teammates first, and then receive the ball with his back.
Kobe Bryant knew that Doon was about to break through, and he had to rely on his strength to push him to the basket, so he took the initiative to push it first, which immediately withdrew the stool, and then withdrew half a step back to prevent Doane from breaking through.
However, Doon now has the confidence to lean his back and switch to a face-frame jumper.
In order to score more points in a short period of time, Doon still chose to dribble one more step behind the frame and retreated to shoot a jumper outside the three-point line.
With mental arithmetic or not, Kobe Bryant thought that Doon had broken through, but in fact, Doon still had to shoot three points.
Kobe Bryant flew a beat slower and was shot directly by Doon in front of him.
However, Doon's three-point shot was not all scored, and the shot was well timed, but in the end it couldn't be shot.
Fortunately, although the rest of the Bulls players didn't get the ball, they didn't slack off. They saw the rebound bounce and immediately rushed forward to grab it.
As soon as Deng got the rebound, he passed the ball to Doon.
Kobe Bryant was also about to go up to grab the rebound, but when he saw this scene, he immediately returned to Dhorn.
saw that Doon took advantage of this space to jump up and shoot three points again.
For Bryant, the ball still had a chance to interfere, but the better defense didn't get the effect it should.
Doon stood up to Kobe's defense, but shot the ball into the basket strongly.
Kobe Bryant saw Doon make another three-pointer, and he secretly said something bad in his heart.
The Lakers fans at the scene were chanting for Doon in unison: "It's amazing, Doon!" ”
"Come on, Doon, Kobe Bryant is not so easy to deal with!"
"Do you know how Doon did it? He made another three-pointer over Kobe's head! ”
Seeing Doon like Iverson, putting his hand to his ear to listen, Kobe Bryant was inevitably a little jealous.
"This is my territory! You guy! ”
Soon, Kobe Bryant took the ball in the low post again, and as soon as Doon stepped forward defensively, he ate Kobe Bryant's elbow.
Doon endured the sharp pain in his chest, and kept using small movements in his hands to interfere with Kobe Bryant and disrupt Kobe's dribbling rhythm and shooting rhythm.
Kobe Bryant is not Jordan, he couldn't shoot 50% of the shots, and he scored two goals in a row before, which is a bit beyond Kobe's level.
And tonight's Doon's defense is not hard, even if Doon's single defense has a lot of offensive space for Kobe, but whether he can shoot it is another matter.
Duang
Kobe Bryant's level of iron playing finally returned to normal, and Tyson Chandler under the basket once again relied on his enthusiasm to pick up a rebound in Eddie Curry.
Doon once again singled Kobe Bryant in the front court, quickly found the opportunity to shoot, and made a three-point shot.
However, Doon also started to play iron under Kobe's defense.
Fortunately, the overall enthusiasm of the Bulls is far above that of the Lakers, protecting rebounding, especially offensive rebounding, and the Bulls starters did quite well tonight.
As Josh Smith grabbed the offensive rebound, Doon, who received the ball, got another chance to make a shot.
Doon also reciprocated, smashing past Kobe Bryant with a fake shot, bursting into the mid-range to attract the defense and feeding Josh Smith a pie.
And Odom on the Lakers' side, because he kept turning back and running, and Kobe Bryant and Doon kept playing singles on the court, he had nothing to do, his interest was mediocre, and he had begun to desert.
Boom –
Josh Smith scored twice and again blocked Eddie Curry, who came over and stretched out his hand.
Seeing that the point difference was somewhat widened, Kobe Bryant also began to be a little anxious.
Although Kobe Bryant knew in his heart that at this time, he should pass the ball to his teammates and let them play a few to motivate them.
However, on the field today, Doon has scored more points than him and performed better than him, how can Kobe accept this kind of thing?
Laugh, why are you laughing? Laugh at me?
Look at my short temper, how can I bear this?
Doon's arrogance must be suppressed!
Kobe Bryant continued to single Doon in the low post and elbowed Doon hard to teach Doon a lesson.
As the saying goes, eating a trench grows a wisdom, Doon no longer uses his chest to hard-top Kobe, but uses the muscles of his arm as a buffer.
By the way, he also cast a dark elbow on Kobe Bryant, who was turning!
Kobe Bryant likes to be tough and doesn't say anything about it, even Doon reaches out and pulls at his clothes, it's nothing.
Bryant made an emergency stop, broke through to a jumper, and once again leaned back picturesquely.
Doon was prepared, and quickly jumped to interfere with the shot, only to hear another sound from Duang behind him.
However, Eddie Curry is not a dry meal, and this time it was he who picked up the offensive rebound on Tyson Chandler's head.
Tyson Chandler is also really ruthless, and directly gives his good brother Eddie Curry a takedown.
I'd rather have Eddie Curry at the free-throw line than have the other side score on his head.
I have to say that this time Tyson Chandler's action is a bit big, and under normal circumstances, a first-degree malicious foul can't run.
However, tonight's penalty scale is clearly not the usual regular season level, but the playoff level.
It's normal to play ball, and it's normal to have a little action.
So this time it was just a normal foul, and Eddie Curry only had two free throws.
Perhaps because of the fall, Eddie Curry, who originally had a free throw shooting rate of more than 60%, actually lost both free throws.
Josh Smith protected the rebound, and Doon soon hit Kobe Bryant with his back in the high post.
Duang, it's iron, it's okay! Just let Kobe Bryant be as iron!
Kobe Bryant also wants to use his rich iron playing experience to defeat Doon, but Doon's main offensive means is three-pointers, and Kobe Bryant is two-pointers.
Bryant would have to shoot more than 50 percent from the field to have a chance of surpassing Doon in scoring stats.
And under Doon's strict defense, Kobe Bryant played very uncomfortably.
After playing more than 7 minutes in the first quarter, before Doon went off the break, Bryant scored 10 points on 5-of-12 shooting, shooting 41.7 percent.
On the other hand, Doon, although he was out of the game early because of his physical exertion, failed to play the first quarter.
But still in the first quarter, in the face of Kobe's high-intensity defense, he shot 4 of 9, 3 of 7 three-point shots, 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
In other words, after Doon went off the court, Kobe Bryant did not score on his own, but chose to break points to drive his teammates, and played on the court for another 3 minutes before going to rest.
However, by the end of the first quarter, 25-23, the Bulls still had a two-point lead.
It can be seen that Kobe's ability to drive his teammates is obviously not as strong as Doon's.
Even when Doon was playing alone with Kobe, he created some scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Kobe Bryant just insisted on the gentleman's agreement with Doon before, and didn't want to take advantage of Doon's absence to brush up on the extra scoring data, so he remembered to pass the ball to his teammates.
And his teammates didn't touch the ball for most of the quarter, and when they received Kobe's pass, they couldn't find a good feel and offensive state in a short time.
This is also because the performance of his teammates could not satisfy him, which made Kobe, who returned to the court in the second quarter, even more determined to win the game by his own personal strength.
"As long as I'm good enough, no one can beat my team!"
