"Kobe, Kobe" The rhythmic cheers echoed over the court) (The familiar voice, even the floor of Staples Center has become familiar with this rhythm and began to resonate rhythmically, okay, Although this statement will be protested by the Clippers, a slight exaggeration is obviously within the allowable range.
Of course, there are also slightly weaker voices. Considering the Lakers' record this season and the strength of the Suns, it is obvious that this comes from die-hard Lakers fans.
After the Sharks left the Lakers and the Four Kings disintegrated, on American soil, the old guys who could barely speak clearly knew who would hand the ball to after the last 45 minutes of the Lakers game. , this is a true reflection of a player's status in the team. This is the fact. Players who can complete the lore will definitely not be mediocre guys.
The Warriors definitely knew this. Stephen Jackson, who had actually suffered a lot in this game, used all the ways he could think of to greet Kobe: making small moves to make him uncomfortable with the ball, blocking his line of sight, and deliberately pulling. His jersey, and he was even ready to hug Kobe to see if it would help.
I don¡¯t know if Stephen Jackson¡¯s words before the game stimulated Kobe. Kobe was very excited today. Now is the best moment in the life of this guy from Philadelphia. He has proven that Jackson can¡¯t stop him. Kobe seems a little bit You can see it in his wild eyes and he will continue to prove it.
The cheers of the fans sounded rhythmically. Although the score was behind, Kobe was not anxious at all. He bent down slightly, and it seemed that only part of his attention was on Jackson opposite him. The basketball in his hand was accompanied by the cheers of the fans. The knocks on the floor one after another, like a death knell, made Jackson feel a little uneasy flowing in his heart.
Time passed by second after second, and there were countless offensive methods in Kobe's arsenal that could be used to solve the game at this time. Just when Jackson thought Kobe would drag the game within 30 seconds, Kobe suddenly started!
Jackson took a slight step forward, trying to block Kobe's path, but he immediately understood that he was wrong!
The moment Jackson started, Kobe had already completed a change of direction that seemed to have been calculated long ago. His movements were as precise as those calculated by computers countless times, and Jackson cooperated like his partner, just a Accelerating the change of direction, Jackson was already breached.
There are no fancy moves. Although Jackson is very well prepared, he still cannot stop the footsteps of today's Staples owner. Today's Kobe Bryant has already surpassed the era of relying on fancy moves to attract attention. The big sword No edge, no workmanship!
"The Warriors should have double-teamed Kobe. Choosing to defend Kobe alone was definitely one of the biggest mistakes they made today." The Los Angeles TV commentator said with a smile.
"Montgomery's choice has its own reasons. He chose to let Kobe score and suppress the performance of other Lakers players to win the game. But his problem is that Kobe scored too many points today. It exceeded the limit that the Warriors can tolerate. . It is understandable to choose single defense at the last moment. The other Lakers players felt good today. Kobe could hit several passes he sent. So this is not an unreasonable defensive method." As if to explain the Warriors Why would the team do this? Su Qun said.
But obviously it is definitely not a wise thing to allow Kobe to freely enter the paint and face the center. The basket will be small by then. But just let Kobe come and go. This is the home court of the Lakers. The referee will never favor the Warriors. Yang Xiao quickly let go of his defensive target Odom. He quickly made up his position with a sliding step!
Yang Xiao came over very quickly. This shows that he has long been mentally prepared for Jackson's breakthrough. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to make up for the defense in such a short period of time. If Jackson himself knew that Yang Xiao was not optimistic about him at all, it is hard to say whether he would have become angry on the court.
Yang Xiao quickly stopped in front of Kobe. If Jackson's speed still can't keep up with Kobe's. Then there would be no problem for Yang Xiao's speed to match Kobe's. This is where Yang Xiao's amazing talent lies. It is simply unimaginable for ordinary people that a guy of such a tall stature possesses such fast speed.
Just when Yang Xiao thought he had captured Kobe's movement trajectory. A faint smile crossed Kobe's face.
Everyone thinks that he needs to solve the battle alone to prove himself. Just like Malone waved away the man who tried to block him in the All-Star Game many years ago. But as has been emphasized many times. Kobe is no longer the young and frivolous guy.Kobe¡¯s eyes
On the side, there is Butler ready to go, but the basketball in his hand is quietly t7 Odom on the left!
Montgomery jumped up from the bench and cursed Yang Xiao!
There was almost no one in front of Odom. Biedrins' defensive range was not that wide at all. He could only try to influence Odom's attack to the basket. Odom adjusted slightly and accelerated!
However, it was this adjustment that made the impossible become a reality. Yang Xiao, who had already realized that he had made a mistake, had completed an incredible adjustment of his focus, turned around and rushed towards Odom again, although it was not a complete blockade. Odom's shooting, but at least it can put him a little bit under pressure.
It can be said that Yang Xiao has been a little bit confused by the combination of Kobe and Odom. The reality is this, people can never outrun the ball.
Lakers fans have high expectations for Odom because of the example of Pippen. They believe that Odom is to Kobe what Pippen is to Jordan, because since Odom¡¯s debut, he has The template for him is Scottie Pippen, and although Kobe Bryant has repeatedly denied that he doesn¡¯t want to be the next one, there is nothing he can do about it. The best player in this league is always unavoidable from being compared to Michael- Destiny compared to Jordan.
Although Odom's performance this season has been criticized by many people and is far from the Lakers' expectations for him, he immediately proved in this offense why he is considered to be the next Pippen!
Kobe¡¯s pass attracted the attention of most of the Warriors. Just when everyone thought Odom would complete an easy shot, Odom chose to hit the ball back to Kobe again!
Up to this moment, the Lakers' offense was launched by Kobe. It is difficult to say that this is a well-practiced routine, but it worked very well together, completely tearing apart the Warriors' defense. This is completely a reflection of personal talent, that is, being suitable on the court. Time to find the most suitable attack line talent!
It starts with Kobe and ends with Kobe!
Biedrins had no time to react. Kobe jumped up high and slammed the basketball into the basket!
"I said, I will never let you leave here with a victory today!" Kobe looked at Yang Xiao, gently shook his finger, and said lightly, although the cheers of the audience seemed to overturn the stadium. ceiling, but Yang Xiao still heard it very clearly, not even a single word was missed. Although he had heard trash talk countless times worse than this, Kobe's words still penetrated his chest like a sharp sword.
Yang Xiao didn¡¯t say anything, just quietly clenched his fists, glanced at Kobe, said nothing, and walked towards his bench.
Staples Arena seemed to be emitting a cheer. Among the millions of soldiers, taking the head of an admiral was like picking something out of a bag!
"The flexibility of the Warriors' defensive system is really poor. They lack tenacity. This is why their defense looks okay, but the goal is wide open after a few passes from the opponent. It is far from a strong defensive team. , they are almost a light-year away!" The local commentator in Los Angeles said exaggeratedly, "I think the Warriors are too naive to rely on this level of defense to win the game."
"Defense? Is that a word in the Warriors' dictionary?" His broadcast partner let out a chuckle to express his point.
There were 30 seconds left in the game, and now the Warriors were trailing on the road. Even if they hit on the next offense, the Lakers still had a chance to hit the buzzer-beater again. Montgomery immediately called a timeout. Now is not the time to lose his temper. If the Warriors can't fight back immediately to the Lakers, then today's game is likely to be a defeat on the road. This is not the result they want to see. After all, they have fought hard until now. It is too bad to give up at this time. It¡¯s worth it, as long as you work harder, five consecutive victories are right in front of you!
Yang Xiao's face was livid, and Montgomery's face was also very ugly until now. Yang Xiao had already heard Montgomery's curses, and had nothing to say. Although Kobe might have made the hit on his own if he didn't help defend him, but the thing was What got worse in his hands was that the opponent's two core players were messing around with him.
"Compared to Kobe, Yang Xiao is still too young. He needs more games to increase his experience, especially on the defensive end, but this is also very normal. Young players are generally not very good at defense." Su Qun said.
"Of course, we can't blame Yang Xiao. Even if Bowen defended this ball, he probably wouldn't be able to defend it. We can only say that Kobe is too strong. Once he enters the penalty area, there is almost no way to restrict him." Yu CelebrateHe said with a smile.
