I really play basketball

Chapter 312 Unfair

"God, Star dunked Kobe Bryant as soon as he came up. What kind of start is this?"

In the commentary seat, Mike Breen's face was full of disbelief.

In the eyes of many people, Kobe's strength last season may not be enough, but he has surpassed Lin Xing in terms of personal performance.

It can be said that the current Kobe is already one of the top superstars in today's league.

Lin Xing is also one of the top superstars in today's league. The first head-to-head confrontation between these two after they became opponents should have been at the level of sparks hitting the earth.

But now, the game has just started, and Kobe was dunked.

Mars hit the earth?Why does it look like a scene where Kobe was abused unilaterally?
Such an opening was obviously beyond people's expectations.

Mike Breen's astonishment was just a microcosm. At the height of the stands, David Stern, who was invited by the brave boardman Jim Fitzgerald to enter the luxurious private room of the Oakland Stadium, also frowned slightly.

To be honest, many people are happy to see Kobe leave the Warriors.

For example, the Bulls' Danzi, the Lakers' Sharks, and the Spurs' Popovich.

But the happiest is none other than Stern.

Although the old man made great efforts to relieve Lin Xing of the 98 lockout crisis, he looked at Lin Xing differently, and the shrinking season of the league did not make it difficult for the Warriors, creating an environment for the Warriors to win four consecutive championships.

But the old man still has a bias in his heart. Compared with Lin Xing, a flower grower, he hopes to win an American.

After all, the full name of the NBA is the American Professional Basketball League.

The old man selected several new-generation stars, among which Kobe was at the top.

Kobe had high hopes, but in the first game of the season, the first offensive round, he played soy sauce.

In the first defensive round, he was dunked by Lin Xing.

On the court, Kobe also looked ugly, and the reporters sitting in the media area behind the basket rushed to take pictures.

They had already figured it out, if the game ended without any twists and turns, then this photo after the game could be enlarged and featured on the headlines.

Based on this photo, the conflict between Kobe and Lin Xing is confirmed.

But in the next second, Lin Xing, who completed the dunk, reached out and pulled Kobe up.

"Do you know why I strongly urged Downey to trade Latrier for you when you were a high school student?"

Kobe replied in a low voice: "Do you want to say, because of my hard work?"

Lin Xing nodded: "Continue to maintain, this kind of trait is very rare."

"I will."

Because the two were leaning against the media area outside the bottom line, the conversation between the two was heard verbatim by this group of people.

"This conversation doesn't seem to be contradictory, does it?"

"Is it true that there is no contradiction as they said?"

"It seems that the face and the heart are at odds. How can you tell if there is no conflict?"

"..."

The Knicks' round, the kickoff in the backcourt.

Chris Childs waited for the ball in the backcourt, but Big Mom Larry Johnson stepped in and robbed the ball.

Or it wasn't a robbery. To be precise, Camby, who should have served the baseline ball, just skipped Chris Childs and passed the ball to Auntie.

Lin Xing immediately understood this scene——

This Knicks team should now be divided into two factions.

Chris Childs was teammates with Kobe for a year when he was in the Warriors, so he should be on Kobe's side.

On the other side, Camby sent the baseline ball to Big Mom.

And, in the previous defensive round, John Wallace didn't mean to help at all.

So, Big Mom obviously got Camby and John Wallace on her side.

As for the Knicks' subs, they're not worth mentioning.

The only one worth mentioning is John Starks...

"I don't know who Starks is on?"

While Starks was Kobe's teammate with the Warriors, Starks was also Larry Johnson's teammate with the Knicks.

And with Starks' unscrupulous character, he and Kobe have never been able to pee in the same pot.

That is to say, the Warriors are under the pressure of Lin Xing, otherwise Starks would have turned the world upside down.

Now that he's back in the Knicks, Starks is probably going back to his old ways.

"It's hard, Kobe, you chose the hardest path."

Above the stands, the old man watched Big Mom Larry Johnson look like a Dolby again, completely ignoring Kobe and doing one himself.

The old man couldn't help it anymore, and cursed secretly: "Fk, what the hell are the Knicks doing? Traded to get Kobe but not giving Kobe unlimited firepower, is there such a thing?"

The old man has always hated the Knicks, but Kobe's arrival changed all that.

Now, what Aunt Larry Johnson has done has made the old man tired of the Knicks team again.

"Kobe, Kobe, why did you choose such a next family?"

Big Mom's another singles, this time Lin Xing's defense caught up.

He rushed over flatteringly, and immediately gave the aunt a solid disturbance.

Clang!
At the basket, the big white bear blocked the backboard and wasted a few seconds before passing the ball to Lin Xing.

Although a bit slower, Lin Xing still turned around and pushed Bo to fight back.

"Star has picked up speed, he still has to fight back, Marcus Camby has been passed by him, and then Larry Johnson..."

Auntie is good at grabbing the ball. When it's his turn to defend, he will take it easy.

After Big Mom, Lin Xing crossed John Wallace again, and in the end, only Kobe and Chris Childs remained in front of him.

Kobe is still trying his best to cling to Lin Xing, even at the expense of being detained by Lin Xing again.

But this time, Lin Xing didn't give him a chance.

"Sta, go straight to Sam Gold, pass Kobe Bryant, and only Chris Childs is left!"

Childs was still working hard, but seeing the fierce Lin Xing, he still chose Congxin.

Clang!
In the stands, the old man shook his head silently. He knew that there was nothing to watch in this opening match.

Even though the Warriors have experienced a lot of turmoil in the new season, as long as Lin Xing is there, the Warriors will still be a top team in the league.

As for this Knicks team, it would be polite to say that they are a bad team.

With so many conflicts in the team, the old man wanted to scold him.

With a score of 4 to 2, the game is still in the opening stage.

But then, the aunt who had been fighting for the ball was directly strangled to death by Lin Xing's defense.

The Knicks went crazy for a while, and finally forced Fan Guangtou to call a timeout in 5 minutes.

To be honest, it's not that Baldy Fan doesn't care about things.

In fact, he has been emphasizing: Pass the ball to Kobe!
But helplessly, the players didn't listen to him at all.

The locker room was divided into two factions. There was nothing he could do about the dispute between the factions, Guerlain, who was not very authoritative.

"I have to go to the Western Paradise to invite the Tathagata Buddha..."

In other words, the factional disputes within the Knicks have to be resolved by the management.

However, Fan Guangtou's pause was quite useful.

The aunt was directly pressed on the bench, and the game restarted. With a score of 16 to 6 and a 10-point deficit, Kobe finally got the ball.

For the Warriors, Byron Russell went up to defend Kobe.

As a result, Kobe's simple breakthrough followed by an easy fadeaway jumper defeated Russell's defense.

Lin Xing frowned, not because he was frightened by Kobe's ball.

Rather, Russell's current state, or the level of playing, makes him very worried.

"If I remember correctly, Byron's performance has been average in the eight preseason games."

"That's right, his defense and his physical condition are indeed not as good as in previous seasons."

"It's slipped..."

"A heavy small forward like him, once he slips, he can't stop it."

On the sidelines, Nelson Sr. and Mike Budenholzer also had some discussions.

At the end of the discussion, Old Nelson involuntarily glanced at Stephen Jackson who was sitting on the sidelines.

Byron Russell's slump, they're not terribly worried.

The reason is that they still have Captain Jack available on the bench.

At the beginning, Lin Xing strongly demanded that the team select Captain Jack, but Old Nelson had some doubts.

But as time went by, old Nelson's doubts disappeared.

Because Captain Jack gradually fulfilled his potential, he proved that there was no problem with Lin Xing's original request.

"Next, we can give Stephen more playing time and gradually hand over the main position to Stephen."

On the court, Byron Russell failed to guard Kobe Bryant on his first strike of the game.

While turning his head to attack, Lin Xing suddenly shot a cold arrow and made a long-range three-pointer——

"A three-pointer hit two steps away from the three-point line, 19 to 8, the Warriors continue to hold a double-digit lead!"

Turn around, the Knicks attack.

Kobe made a comeback, but this time it was Lin Xing who defended him.

"Si Da personally made a move, there is a good show to watch!"

In an instant, everyone's attention was raised, and the reporters in the media area even picked up their cameras and took various pictures.

Lin Xing's personal defense against Kobe did indeed put a lot of pressure on Kobe.

Kobe received the ball from his waist and turned around to try to make a breakthrough, but Lin Xing directly blocked Kobe's way to turn around with his rich experience.

In desperation, Kobe turned around and took a step back, throwing a step-back jumper.

But there was still a bang, and a piece of refined iron was smashed out.

"Don't you have anything to comment?"

Lin Xing didn't talk trash, but Kobe took the initiative to ask Lin Xing to scold him a few words.

Lin Xing had never seen such a request.

But he shook his head, really nothing to comment on.

The main reason is that there is nothing wrong with Kobe's style of play, that's how Kobe played at his peak.

It can only be said that the current Kobe has not yet perfected his fadeaway jumper.

Coupled with the fact that the opponent is the real defender Dpoy Lin Xing, it is not surprising that this ball hits iron.

Shaking his head, Lin Xing immediately received a pass from the driver, turned around, and the Warriors counterattacked again.

"The game has gone on for most of the quarter, and we can already see that there is an obvious change in the Warriors in the new season. They are playing faster and faster."

Old coach Hubie Brown focused on the tactical level. He said: "Obviously, the Warriors this season, after losing Kobe and Alonzo Mourning, chose to focus on offense."

"The way they play now is very similar to the run and gun attack they played in the beginning, but there are some differences..."

what is the difference?The difference is that the Warriors did not overemphasize speed, but put the burden of cutting through the opponent's defense on Lin Xing.

Just like an offensive round not long after, although it was a positional battle, Lin Xing made an unstoppable breakthrough, which attracted the defense.

Then a ball, found the driver on one side.

The driver caught the ball and raised his hand for a high-throwing three-pointer.

Swish-!
And this is a microcosm of the Warriors' style of play.

In one sentence --

"Sta's breakthrough threat is too great. Now he is completely undefendable one-on-one, but if he is on the pinch defense, the Warriors' pitchers will teach their opponents a painful lesson."

In the past few seasons, the role of the Warriors in accumulating a bunch of shooters who can shoot three-pointers is also highlighted at this moment.

As for the Knicks' offense, Kobe, who completely took over the ball, was also struggling under Lin Xing's defense.

The old men in the stands couldn't stop shaking their heads: "The gap between Kobe and Star University is still huge. This new generation still needs to grow up."

In the first quarter, the Warriors beat the Knicks 33 to 19.

The 14-point difference in a single quarter made many reporters question: Why does this Warriors still look invincible?

Lin Xing, who is the person involved, knows very well that running, bombing and attacking are good at abusing vegetables.

Otherwise, the Suns' regular season record would not have exploded in those years, and the Suns would not have fallen in various ways in the playoffs.

And the Knicks in this game are undoubtedly a dish.

During the break during the festival, the Knicks still have a big show going on——

After Kobe sweated profusely, he walked to the sidelines, and the aunt who had been sitting on the bench for half a day said something secretly——

"Give someone the ball, and the result is the same?"

Kobe was on fire all of a sudden, and he was about to do it immediately.

Chris Childs held him back, and Jeff Van Gundy stepped up to smooth things over.

If it weren't for the quick response of these two, the Knicks would have staged a full-scale martial arts on the sidelines in the opening game.

The Knicks' current general manager, Scott Layden, was also in the stands. He wiped the sweat from his brow and made up his mind.

When I return to New York from the Bay Area, I will start immediately to clean up these thorns.

The future of the Knicks belongs to Kobe Bryant, not the bastard with a big contract like Aunt Larry Johnson!
In the second and third quarters, the Warriors continued to crush the Knicks.

The score gap widened from 14 points in the first quarter to 23 points.

After three quarters, they clocked out of get off work.

"This opening match is meaningless."

"Kobe is bigger than Smith, the gap is too huge, it's a pity that people expect him."

"The Knicks' civil strife is the most critical factor. I really want to know what their management is thinking? Why not just kill Larry Johnson?"

"Teammates dragged their feet, the environment Kobe Bryant faced in this game is not fair!"

There are still quite a few Kobe fans in the United States, and a large part of the expert reporters are Kobe supporters.

After the game entered garbage time, they fought for Kobe.

For this game, they don't want to talk about it.

Soon, the game is over.

When the red light came on and the timer beeped, Lin Xing and Kobe shook hands and hugged each other.

"Go back and solve the internal problems of the team as soon as possible. I will wait for your next challenge."

When Lin Xing left such a sentence, Kobe understood Lin Xing's meaning in seconds.

The confrontation between him and Lin Xing this time was unfair.

Lin Xing is looking forward to the next fair match against Kobe.
