You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 172 I'm Your Teammate
That four-pointer was a wake-up call to Kobe.

The low-post offense has no feel, and the efficiency of singles with the ball facing the basket is not good. He can hit the basket more and cause a lot of damage.

The first year of the non-hands-on rule was the spring of the ball handler. The new rule was implemented for the first time, and the referee whistled very strictly.By drawing fouls, Bryant's efficiency has become considerable, and he is getting to the free throw line more and more.

The 76ers fell into the quagmire of deadly main players, Iguodala was treated as a livestock, Webber was like an iron man, Iverson averaged 42 minutes per game in his career, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with being deadly used.

When the state is not good, the use of the main force will not achieve much effect.

The 76ers should be thankful that if it weren't for Kobe's poor touch, the Lakers would have established a lead of more than 15 points before halftime ended.

Kobe hit the basket more, and Kobe's shooting rate did not improve. He made 8 free throws in a single quarter and made 7 of them. After halftime, he scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. The statistics showed that he made 12 of 2 shots.

The game entered the second half.

In the first half, Wei Xia mainly played the link between the first quarter and the second quarter. Phil Jackson let him play for 11 minutes in a row. When he was off the court, the data was 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.In terms of his position and function, playing this data shows that he has a high degree of dedication.

Bynum's performance also improved. Wesha helped him hit the first 2+1 in his career, and later he grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a second offense.

Jackson still takes a conservative approach to Bynum.

Section II, Bynum played only 4 minutes.

4 minutes, 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, all the statistics are worthy of his playing time.

In the second half, Wei Xia continued to sit on the bench.

The Lakers lead the 76ers by 13 points, and the situation is very good.

During the halftime break, Jackson asked Kobe to go to the low post more, don't patronize the offense, but drive the teammates around him.

Bryant listened to his words, trying to make the ball for Sprewell and Odom.

Sprewell's offense is very unstable. When he was young, he relied a lot on his physical fitness. When he was old, the Lakers lost possession of the ball, and his defensive power was greatly reduced. The offensive end was actually a spot-up shooter.

Throughout Sprewell’s previous career of more than ten years, the three-pointer is one of his weapons. He shot the most during his time with the Warriors. After moving to the Knicks, he met Jeff Van Gundy who didn’t like three-pointers.

Now the Lakers want him to be an outside shooter, and he didn't refuse, anyway, it doesn't affect him to support his family.

It just so happened that his feel and status today are all online.

Kobe passed the ball, he shot, dared to shoot and scored, and the defensive pressure of the 76ers soared.

If the madman can score three-pointers, the 76ers can't let him go, and sometimes they have to be forced to defend him alone.

On the left and right wings, Sprewell scored three-pointers consecutively.

When the second shot hit a three-pointer, the 76ers called a timeout.

The madman's three-pointer left the 76ers behind by 18 points. Sprewell folded his arms and stared at the sky, fearing that others would not know how proud he was.

Just 4 minutes into the third quarter, if this continues, garbage time will come soon.

Jackson replaced Smush Parker, kept Sprewell, who was feeling good, and replaced Weisha.

Seeing Wei Xia being replaced, the audience at the Wells Fargo Center screamed like fans who saw idols come on stage.

Iverson, who was standing opposite Kobe, said, "He seems more popular than me."

"Because you're getting old." Kobe said sarcastically.

"What about you? You are younger and more energetic than me. You are from Philadelphia like him. You seem to have won the Pennsylvania championship. Why don't they like you?" Iverson deliberately picked on Kobe.

He didn't seem to have any malice, but what he said made Kobe full of indignation.

Philadelphia's support for Wei Xia and its rejection of him are like yin and yang, too extreme, so extreme that Kobe can't accept it, so extreme that Kobe feels angry.

Iverson, who angered Kobe, singled out Kobe face-to-face after the game restarted.

Shaking left and right, always like this.

Kobe was like Jordan back then, the first time he was shaken, he kept his position.The hard part is keeping it going.Iverson's second swing ended Kobe's center of gravity from the inside out.

In less than a second, Iverson's breakthrough was like a bullet shot out, and shot into the Lakers' penalty area in a blink of an eye. Odom's defense was in place, but his blocking was just a shelf, just like Webber.

Wei Xia has always had doubts in his heart, are these flashy guys potential defensive loopholes?Why can't their offensive creativity be evened out to give themselves a heart-wrenchingly bad defense?

Then, Iverson once again used the trick of throwing the ball high through the back of the blocked hand, and accurately finding the position of the board to wipe the board and score.

Looking at this ball, Wei Xia was shocked.

Iverson may not be efficient, but over the years, except for those seasons in which the average shooting rate was less than 40%, he has maintained an output efficiency that is almost the same as the league average while maintaining a super high possession rate.

Wescha's mind went back to Iverson's slight pull on the bar to place his shot riskily behind the shot blocker.

Since the shot is behind the blocker, any action by the defense is a foul. Their only hope is that Iverson misses the board.

Iverson's career is a textbook based on playing small and big. This trick is more suitable as his signature than the big change in front of the body + shaking left and right.

Just against the Lakers, he used it twice and scored all of them.

Wei Xia came to the front court with some ideas. Kobe asked for the ball, and Wei Xia gave it.

He strikes the iron amid booing.

Fortunately, the 76ers' counterattack efficiency is not high.

They returned the iron, and there is still love in the city of friendship.

"Phili, stop passing!" Mei Chen yelled, her voice would not arouse anyone's attention in this arena.

Kobe continued to ask for the ball, he was the boss, and Wei Xia still passed the ball.

Kobe turned over and shot like a maniac, the exact same movement, even the angle of striking the iron, looked like a replay of the last round.

Iverson grabbed the defensive rebound and rushed to the frontcourt with lightning speed. Wei Xia stood on the favorable terrain and returned first.

In the face of Iverson's fast break, he never backed down.

Iverson rushed to him.

If Kobe was his role model in middle school, then Iverson was his hero before he grew taller.

For his height, his achievements are unprecedented.

The hero in middle school now holds the ball in front of him and pushes his body away, which brings not only severe pain, but also the whistle of the referee eager to defend the star.And Wei Xia will never stop defending just because of the whistle, he jumped to a very high position to prevent Iverson from 2+1.

And Iverson used that underestimated misplaced layup again.

the third time!
bang!

"Allen Iverson taught Wish a lesson."

"No, it's Kobe's fault. If he wasn't so selfish, if he was willing to move, the AI ​​would have no chance to fight back."

"Yes, you are right."

The Wells Fargo Center blamed Kobe for the offense and defense, which is strictly speaking fine.

Iverson scored the goal and said to Wei Xia: "Welcome to the NBA."

Wei Xia seemed unable to hear his teasing, and responded: "Thank you, this is my honor."

"Kobe is right, you are such a freak." After all, Iverson scored an extra penalty to narrow the score to 13 points.

Bryant was determined to prove himself in the low post.

"We can't let him go on like this anymore!" Winter said to the Zen master.

Zen master's face didn't change at all, he stared at Kobe and Wei Xia.

Seeing that Kobe was sitting in a low position, Wei Xia dribbled the ball weakly with his side, raised his right hand, and pointed to the bottom corner with a commanding finger, letting Kobe leave from there.

"Give it to me, you bastard!" That's how Kobe asked for the ball last time.

But this time, the Zen master did not remind Wei Xia to pass the ball.

Wei Xia's hand was still pointing to the bottom corner, and even if Kobe stayed for three seconds to violate the rule, he would not pass the ball.

"You're a fucking bitch!" Kobe went out angrily.

The boos and shouts that made Kobe furious appeared at the same time.

He knew very well who the cheers belonged to, and he knew in his heart who the boos belonged to.

The Philadelphians cheered because Wei Xia was not afraid of power, and by the way, he was a selfish and strong criminal who destroyed the chemical reaction and only had eyes for the basket.

Kobe's face was gloomy. He stood motionless in the bottom corner, staring at Wei Xia as if he wanted to kill him.

And when Wescha averted all eyes and threw the ball to his position, the offensive instinct allowed Kobe to catch the pass.

"It's not going to be given to me in the end!" Kobe yelled and shot, "What the hell is different?"

Wei Xia could hear his cry clearly.

This corner three-pointer was Kobe's second three-pointer in the game.

"Shh!"

He asked what's the difference?When Wei Xia turned and returned to defense, he said: "3 points are 2 point more than 1 points."

"Just because of this, you won't give me the ball?" Kobe was furious, "Who do you think you are?"

Judging from his tone, Wei Xia can tell that Kobe's mood is very unstable, and no amount of reasoning with him at this time can compare to a witty word that can ease the atmosphere.

"I'm your teammate." Wei Xia said "naively".

"I'd rather not give the ball to my teammate than give me a three-second violation in the paint?" Kobe grinned. "I'm so fucking lucky to have a teammate like you!"

Then, Wei Xia actually made Iguodala's offensive foul head-on.

It was his second offensive foul against Iguodala in the game.

He looked at Kobe, hoping that the boss, overwhelmed by anger, would reach out and give him a hand.

Kobe walked up to him and held out his hand.

Wei Xia was about to hold his hand when Kobe bent down and picked up the ball on the ground and threw it to Odom, "Serve the ball, Lama!"
