the rest, only noise

Chapter 1257 Rescue the little prince

Kobe's opponent is neither Jordan nor Chapman, but the Blazers' substitute, an unknown pawn named Mitchell Butler (Mitchell Butler SG/SF).

This person was undrafted in 1993. Just like all players who have dreams of the NBA but have no chance to enter the NBA, they insist on staying in the United States and working hard, even if the money is small and the future is not guaranteed.

Riley gave Butler a full basic salary guarantee contract this year, mainly because of his versatility in playing multiple positions and his tendency to be hardworking and masochistic.

At this time, the absolute main players of the flanks of both sides are not present, and it is time for the substitutes to express themselves. If they can perform well in the title stage, they may be further appreciated by the coaching staff and gain a higher status in the team.

Butler came on stage with such an idea. Unexpectedly, his opponent was a high school student, and after he played, he brought Loki in "Avengers 1" before he was thrown by the Hulk and said, "That's enough, I'm God, you bunch of lowly humans" said something inexplicable to him.

Butler thought to himself, he really is a high school student, too immature, he must be taught a lesson today.

Since Fei and Meng played the entire first quarter, Riley let them rest at the beginning of the second quarter, and Clifford Robinson led a group of substitutes to deal with the Lakers.

It would be best if it could last for a few minutes. If it couldn't last, then Lao Jordan would have to fight the fire.

In the second quarter, the Blazers first hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Subsequently, Barkley held the ball in the high post like Garnett before him.

The Blazers didn't let Clifford, who was carrying two fouls on his back, to defend, but let second-year power forward Jason Caffey come to him.

Unlike Garnett, Barkley's various skills have reached perfection, and even his competitive state is not at its peak. He knows what to do.

Barkley used Caffey's irresistible confrontation to break inward.

If the Blazers want to keep their paint, the defense will have to shrink.

The moment the Blazers shrunk their defense, Barkley passed the ball to Liu Yuqing on the outside.

Liu Yuqing catches the ball and jumps up to shoot.

The three-pointer hit the basket.

"With Giando's shooting ability, we should really put him in the starting lineup," Don Nelson said. "He's like a younger version of Dale Ellis."

35 is better than 32
The Blazers chose to play Jason Caffey in the low post on the following possession.

Caffey contributed a textbook-level amateur low-post singles for everyone.

There is no rhythm change, no combination of footsteps, just rely on brute force to hit in.

Barkley, who was in charge of defending him, was a poor defender. As long as Caffey doesn't use brute force to attack him like he does now, and plays a face-to-basket attack with the ball, maybe he will score.

Caffey just doesn't do that.

He gritted his teeth, his face grim, as if it was so important to score a goal on Barkley with brute force.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"Why are you so impatient?" Louis was taken aback.

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Ka Fei turned around and tried to bow hard.

As a result, Barkley cut the ball.

Louis wished that Riley would give him a thumbs up in front of him, what a heaven-defying arrangement.

Can Jason Caffey's offensive ability also arrange for him to play singles?Don't think of our Sir Charles as a human being.

Oh yes, think about it, maybe Riley really doesn't treat Barkley as a human being.

After Barkley cut off Kafei's ball, Liu Yuqing picked it up.

I saw Kobe going down quickly, holding his right hand high and shouting: "Jiang Duo! Jiang Duo! Jiang Duo! Hey! Hey! Hey!!"

Liu Yuqing couldn't see Gao Gaozi's urgent desire to catch the ball. He only saw that the Blazers had already had two players retreat, and passing the ball to Kobe would not have a good result.

"Hey! Jiang Duo! Hey!"

Stop being egomaniac!

Liu Yuqing made a reasonable choice and gave the ball to Dana Barros.

Kobe was very disappointed, and when Liu Yuqing ran to the frontcourt, he still complained, "If you pass the ball earlier, we don't have to fight positional battles!"

Liu Yuqing retorted harshly: "I'm not interested in watching you get blocked in one-on-one fast break."

"You should trust your teammates!" This has become one of Kobe's mantras. He pointed at Butler, "Even if there are ten Xiao Xiami at this level, they can't guard against me!"

Bryant's wild words angered Mitchell Butler.

Butler immediately stepped forward to put pressure, "It seems that no one has taught you how to respect your opponent for a long time!"

Kobe was not afraid at all, took the initiative to fight back, and cursed in his mouth: "Stop giving me lessons for the unqualified morons!"

"It's right! It's right! Bean, this is the rhythm!" Garnett booed frantically off the court.

Upon seeing this, Bird went up with a header.

"What the hell is wrong with you, sit down for me!"

On the sidelines, Louis folded his arms around his chest playfully, making a gesture of "listening because of blowing".

Butler, enraged by the unguarded high schooler's words, quickly drew an unnecessary foul on Bryant.

"This is why you lost the election!" Kobe shouted arrogantly, "I can kill you with one hand!"

Butler was in a hurry, and said back: "You little bastard can only rely on your mouth. Has anyone passed the ball to you?"

No one passes the ball?

Bryant really can't expect a rigid guy like Barlows to pass the ball to himself just because he needs to dominate an "arrogant" undrafted imbecile like Mitchell Butler.

Reggie Miller said something that Kobe Bryant agreed with after the 1993-pointer to save the Knicks in Game [-] of the [-] Finals.

Miracles (opportunities) are always, and always will be, created by your own hands.

The Lakers' sideline ball, Barkley's screen, and Ostertag's outside line were intended to create opportunities for Baros to catch the ball. Unexpectedly, Kobe suddenly appeared from the center line and yelled at Liu Yuqing: "Pass the ball! Hurry up!" Violation!"

Kobe has already occupied the position where Baros received the ball. If he does not pass the ball to him, Liu Yuqing will have to take the risk of passing the ball to a teammate who did not get rid of the defender.

Even if she was unwilling in every way, Liu Yuqing had no choice but to pass the ball.

After getting the ball, Kobe turned around and found that it was Clifford Robinson guarding himself, and he actually said by name: "Let that undrafted moron come to guard me, and I want him to know how to speak politely to the lottery show." !"

Bird suppressed a smile and said, "Isn't he the most rude person on the field?"

Clifford ignored Kobe's yelling, and the defense gradually pressed forward, trying to force Kobe to submit with his own strength.

He obviously underestimated Kobe's explosiveness.

Considering that he is 210 cm tall, it is very difficult to put pressure on a 196 cm second position.

Kobe's explosive step nailed Clifford's defensive center of gravity outside the three-point line like a nail.The long-distance gliding body is full of talent, and the two changes of hand and lever in the air prove that he is indeed a die-hard fan of Jordan.

However, such a difficult shot is very difficult to hit.

The ball spun around the hoop and fell out.

"Bean, what are you doing?!"

Louis asked.

Kobe pretended not to hear the appearance of retreating at full speed.

Louis, who was ignored by Kobe, clenched his fists and his blood pressure began to rise.

Kobe caught up to Mitchell Butler, but the Blazers' fast break was passed by a swingman named Tracy Moore (Tracy Moore SG/SF).

Baros yelled at Kobe angrily: "What were you doing just now?"

Kobe said with a guilty conscience: "You have no chance to catch the ball, I will help you clear."

"Damn it, can you fucking stop doing stupid things that high school students can't do!" Baros' blood pressure seemed to be higher than Louis's.

Bryant knew that Barros would not look at him again tonight.

It is impossible for him to receive a pass from Baros, so he has to be strategic if he wants to touch the ball.

For example, try to stand on the side of Barkley as much as possible.

Because Barkley has no solution in singles, the Blazers have to double-team if they don't want to be smashed by him.And who better to double-team Barkley than Mitchell Butler on Barkley's end?

When Barkley is double-teamed, keep your eyes open and you will see a little sweetheart on the outside who is always ready to relieve the old men who should retire.

Liu Yuqing is usually on Barkley's side, because his three-pointers are the most accurate.

So Kobe has to rely on grabbing that position to stand in that position and get in early.

"That kid is messing around again!"

Louis could see clearly what the little girl was planning at a glance.

Sure enough, Liu Yuqing saw that the dove was occupying the magpie's nest, and had no intention of communicating with Kobe, so she consciously took the position at the other end.

Don Nelson laughed and said, "Bean really worked so hard to get the ball!"

Bird complained: "All that IQ is spent on this!"

Louie's fist was getting harder and harder.

Barros felt bad seeing Kobe on Barkley's side, but he had to pass the ball.

Barkley receives the ball and prepares to play back.

It is well known that Jason Caffey can't guard Barkley, but Butler glanced at Kobe.

There is no need to think about the importance of a superstar like Barkley and this defiant, arrogant, pretentious, stupid high school student behind him.

Sure enough, everything went as Kobe planned.

Sure enough, Butler ran over to double-team.

Kobe puts his hands up to catch the ball, come on, let me clear you old man.

Cazzo!You don't want to fight two, do you?
Fatty pass the ball!

Believe in your teammates!
CCCCCCCazzo! ! ! ! !

Kobe watched from the best position of the audience and Barkley forced a [-]-on-[-] score.

"I'm empty, why don't you pass the ball to me? You're unreasonable at all, the coach will scold you to death later!"

Bryant yelled at Barkley as he retreated.

"You are the least qualified to say such a thing!" Barkley laughed, "The tactics of grabbing positions and running around, you are the one who will be scolded when I see it!"

"I was helping you out!"

Then, Liu Yuqing ran past Kobe, "When the coach scolds you later, no one will help you out."

Kobe immediately looked at the position of the coaching staff. Louis's expression full of anger and his eyes without any sense of tenderness gave him a heavy blow to his young heart, which was not strong enough.

As scary as that zombie-like decayed old lady in The Shining.
