Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 65 [Shrek is sharp, Black Mamba has no solution]

After only 1 minute of the game, the Lakers lost their second-in-command, leaving only Kobe, the "supreme treasure".

Bryant substituted free throws and made both free throws.

2:4.

The Lakers were forced to replace Odom with Radmanovic.

Jeff Van Gundy had a look of joy on his face. Just after the start, the Lakers lost a general, and the Rockets seemed to be winning.

It's a pity that it won't go so smoothly, because the Lakers still have Kobe, the person who can change the situation of the game by himself.

"Oh, the Rockets attacked, Alston moved inside, Yao Ming caught the ball and brought it in... a mistake. Kobe double-teamed and shot the ball from behind." Drexler said.

"The ball was handed over to Walton, and then passed to Kobe. The Lakers launched a fast break, and Kobe took the ball to the right three-point line. He didn't hesitate and made a jumper. Good shot! Hollow into the net! Kobe's hand today It's hot, Rockets watch out," Matt Bullard yelled.

2:7.

Consecutive victories have built confidence in the Rockets team. Although Kobe scored 7 points in a row, he couldn't make waves in everyone's hearts.

Alston dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it over to Yao Ming. Yao Ming caught the ball very steadily this time, took a turn and made a jump shot.

4:7.

Kwame Brown's defense against Yao Ming's turnaround jumper can only be done by praying, praying to God that Yao Ming can't make it.God in heaven is not watching the game, so prayers are void.

Smush Parker dribbles the ball upfield to Bryant.

Kwame Brown pulled Yao Ming out.Give Kobe a pick and roll.Bryant started quickly, breaking through Battier and Yao Ming.Seeing this, Hayes immediately stepped up to defend.

Bryant jumped up and threw the ball out to Radmanovic.The latter hit a three-pointer with a corner jumper.

4:10.

It is said that Kobe has a unique style of play, but he also has a lot of games with 10 assists.If a teammate is in a good position, he will definitely pass the ball.

"Tact 3!" Jeff Van Gundy yelled at Alston from the sidelines.

After Als passed halftime, he passed the ball to Hayes. Howard stepped forward to pick and roll and stuck Radmanovic behind. The Lakers switched defenses, and the person facing Hayes was replaced by Luke Wall. pause.

Hayes broke through to the inside, and he clearly had the upper hand in the strength confrontation with Wharton, squeezing Wharton away with his body to the basket.

Kwame Brown immediately defended, but it was too late, and Hayes scored with a cricket.

6:10.

Jeff Van Gundy's original tactic was to focus on Yao Ming, and he still had some consideration for Odom's defense.Now that Odom is off, whether it is the 208CM Radmanovic or the 203CM Luke Walton, the style of play is very soft and cannot be compared with Hayes.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe came again.This time, his turnaround jumper missed.If Kobe can throw the ball in every time he faces a face-covering defense, then the Rockets can admit defeat.

Hayes protected the backboard.

The Rockets attacked again, still the same tactics, and handed it to Hayes in the frontcourt.Jeff Van Gundy's idea is very simple. The Lakers have lost a general and the interior is empty.At this time, I will take advantage of your illness and kill you.

Veteran Howard gave Hayes a pick-and-roll again, and Hayes dribbled the ball into the three-point line.In basketball, just make good use of the pick and roll.Passing people is not a difficult task. The speed of the player with the ball does not need to be very fast, as long as the first step can shake off the opponent.

This is the most important offensive method Hayes learned from Tracy McGrady.Quick start, dry pull jumper.

Wharton was a step slower in switching defenses. Although he interfered with Hayes, he couldn't block the shot. Hayes scored two more points.

8:10.

Hayes scored consecutively, and Kobe's eyes became sharper.

Kobe gets the ball in the high post and dribbles laterally to the free throw line.

He failed to get rid of Battier, and Hayes also stood in that position, which was equivalent to finding himself double-teamed.

Bryant attracted double-teams and didn't pass the ball. Instead, he took off with all his strength and made a fadeaway jumper. Battier couldn't cover it. Under the interference, Bryant made another shot.

8:12.

"Kobe's ball still relies on his personal ability. His fadeaway jumper is difficult to block. Not long after the game started, Kobe has already scored 9 points. If this momentum can be maintained, it will be incredible." Drexler praised .

"The Lakers are determined to play Kobe now. Kobe can play 100% of his energy if he doesn't pass the ball. The Rockets must find a way to contain his offense." Matt Brad said: "Or, the Rockets can guarantee the success rate of offense." It’s okay, Hayes caught the ball again. Still relied on the pick and roll, went in, and made a jump shot.”

10:12.

"Although Hayes has a strength advantage, after all, he is only 198cm tall, and he can't hold high inside the Lakers. It is a good way to shoot from the outside. Hayes is very sure about his mid-range shots. I think he is now the same as Egypt. Leon Brand is very similar, he can play both inside and out.” Drexler laughed and said, “The Lakers still call Kobe. If Kobe keeps this kind of touch, the Rockets will be in big trouble. They don’t rely on pick-and-rolls. Thiel alone."

Kobe stood on the left side of the three-point line, slightly bent his body, looked at Battier in front of him, his eyes became sharp.

Then he sprang into action, one step away from Battier, and immediately shot a jumper three.

Battier took off with all his strength to interfere.But Kobe's touch is too good.As soon as the ball was thrown, he raised his arm.The basketball is hollow into the net.

10:15.

Kobe's offensive methods are somewhat similar to McGrady's. They both start jump shots in one step, and the right shot is more terrifying than anything else.

This is Kobe, who is almost impossible to guard against when he is smooth, and he can make the ball from all positions.

Shooting is not difficult, but not every player can do it by constantly entangled with opponents on the outside, creating small spaces and short time to shoot accurately.It is even more difficult to guarantee the hit rate.Therefore, very few people dare to play like this, and coaches don't like to see players do this.

But Kobe has the guts, and has a certain hit rate.The pressure that the opponent puts on him with all his strength is often invisible in his superb dribbling rhythm and soft shooting touch.

After the goal, many Rockets home fans also applauded Kobe. This is Kobe's charm.Even if you know his style of play is unreasonable, you can't deny his super ability.

Hayes looked at Kobe and thought to himself: Always shoot with hands on your face, I can't believe you make it every time!

Even if you can enter more than half, can you guard against me?
Hayes caught the ball again from beyond the three-point line and paused.The person following him was still Radmanovich, and Howard ran over again...

Kobe is in charge of defending Battier, who is not good at attacking with the ball. This is not difficult for him, so he can observe Hayes from the corner of his eye while defending.

Waiting for someone to pick and roll again?The guy who doesn't dare to break through without a pick-and-roll, this Hayes is too real.His personal ability is only the second child of the team. Barkley is an idiot. It is ridiculous to compare him with me and LeBron James.

This is Kobe's evaluation of Hayes, but his evaluation immediately changed.

Hayes didn't wait for Howard to pick and roll, he pulled up from the three-point line and shot!

Both Radmanovich and Walton were not far from Hayes, but both of them distracted Howard, thinking that Hayes would use the pick-and-roll to break through the offense.

Because he didn't expect it, Radmanovich failed to take off and block the block immediately. When he reacted, Hayes had already shot.

The ball hits.Hayes returned a three-pointer.There was a tsunami of cheers immediately in the auditorium.Many fans shouted "Shrek" with huge pictures and slogans!
13:15.

"Hayes scored less in the first few games. Many people said that it was because the opponent figured him out. I don't think so. Because McGrady played well, the Rockets focused on McGrady's point. Although Hayes scored less , but the hits are very high, and the efficiency is still there. McGrady is absent this time, and his offensive ability has begun to show. The personal ability he has shown is definitely a qualified All-Star." Drexler said.

In terms of personal ability, Hayes is called an All-Star, but Kobe is definitely one of the best superstars in the league.The only shooting guard who can be compared with him in the league today, except McGrady, is the Heat's Devin Wade.

Today, Kobe completely broke out.

Shane Battier faced Kobe, feeling more and more pressure.He defends well every time. Although he is at a disadvantage in speed, he can still play a role in interference.

But he was facing Kobe, a man known as "Peter Pan" and "Black Mamba".

Kobe has many tricks and tricks, and also has outstanding adaptability and creativity.Kobe can shake anyone, even if it's just a small gap, a few tenths of a second are enough for him to avoid the block, and he can kill people.

This time, Kobe used Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll to pass Battier. Yao Ming tried his best to catch up this time and blocked the foul. Kobe, with his body out of balance, turned with his back in the air and made an unimaginable pull-bar movement. , The basketball spins and hits the board into the frame.

After Kobe made an additional free throw, he scored 15 points in the first and a half quarters. 13 to 18.

As soon as Bryant opened it, Jeff Van Gundy requested a timeout.If Kobe doesn't rely on pick-and-rolls, it's hard to defend against Battier alone. As long as Kwame-Brown succeeds in the pick-and-roll, Yao Ming can't switch defenses at all.

"Corunna (Azubuike) up, Juwan (Howard) down, we're in the zone. Corunna and Sean (Battier) double-team Kobe, let Luke Walton go. Chuck you back Power forward position, attack the inside with Yao Ming, try to hit the low post, and foul if you can’t hit.” Jeff Van Gundy has already drawn a plan on the tactical board and explained it to the Rockets.

Hayes looked at the Lakers dugout, feeling a little shocked.

Kobe did catch and single.He didn't pass his teammates, and he didn't even need his teammates to pick and roll, but his shooting percentage was scary.In this case, can you say that he played unreasonably?This guy's personal ability is too scary.

Hayes knows very well that Kobe's offensive ability is definitely greater than McGrady's now.Tracy McGrady and Battier one-on-one in internal training, will not be so easy.Kobe's speed is not much faster than McGrady's, but he shoots more resolutely, and every attack reveals a domineering "give it up to me".

"Chuck, don't look over there, you don't have a heavy defensive task, just attack more, and you will be the core inside." Jeff Van Gundy said.

During that time just now, Hayes also did well, scoring 9 points for the Rockets and biting the score.

"Okay, leave it to me." Hayes said lightly.

In the past few minutes, Kobe's performance was the fiercest individual performance he had ever seen in his life. He was unknowingly infected by Kobe, and he chose singles just after catching the ball.

He really wanted to match up with Kobe.It's just that Van Gundy refused to agree, and Battier couldn't guard against it. Can he do it?
