NBA backer king

Chapter 398 Kobe's First Match Against Jordan

At 08:30, the game begins.

Rasheed Wallace and Rick Schmitz jump the ball and the Suns attack.

Lao Wang enters the low position, and Rick Schmitz implements close defense. He is taller, this way is better, and it also avoids strong confrontation with Lao K.Of course, with his confrontation ability, he has no capital to defend against Old K.

When Lao Wang came outside the reasonable collision zone, he stopped going in, blocked Rick Schmitz outside, and began to ask for the ball.

At this moment, Lightning and Ron Harper were competing outside. One had to find a way to pass the ball to Old K before the end of the three seconds of offense, and the other had to stop it.

As a result, Lightning was superior. Just when the three seconds were about to expire, he avoided the opponent and passed the ball in.

"boom!"

There is no suspense here, Rick Schmitz was pushed outside, the ball flew over his head, behind Lao Wang's figure exploded, and the moment he grabbed the ball with one hand, he backhanded the ball into the basket.

Seeing the ball, Albert laughed and said, "Rick Schmitz's defense is mediocre. It's not a great defense at all. Even if the old K's attack at the basket is restricted by the K law, he can't defend it alone."

Kevin Harlan said: "The existence of Rasheed Wallace made Rodman unable to double-team the old K in time. This is different from when Ben Wallace was the main power forward last year. The old K was double-teamed frequently last season, but this season will not work."

Nodding, Albert continued: "Also, the Bulls don't seem to be planning to go all out today. Jordan didn't switch to Lightning, otherwise Lightning wouldn't be able to pass the ball so easily. He's a lot shorter than Jordan.

Although Ron Harper's defense is good, his defense is still not as good as Jordan's, and he has injuries, and his state is not as good as Lightning. "

"Pippen didn't help defend the Lightning either. It seems that the Bulls really don't plan to fight the Suns in the regular season, and there is really no need for that." Kevin Harlan said.

Albert said: "Jordan is not young, and Pippen is injured, and it is impossible for a strong team like the Suns to play a real game in the regular season.

Especially when playing against the old K, even if there is the K law, can the lethality of the old K be completely limited? The finals in 95 must have left them with lingering fears. Before the finals, the Bulls would not get serious with the Suns. This was the case in the regular season last season. "

Kevin Harlan nodded and said: "From the analysis of this season's situation, the chances of the Suns reaching the Finals are good. The Bulls really need to be prepared."

The game continued on the field, and Jordan turned around and hit a three-pointer to overtake the score.

After 6 minutes in the first quarter, the game was tied at 14:14, the second team drew, and the Bulls called the first timeout.

The Suns took the opportunity to make substitutions, the Lightning and Wilkins went down to rest first, and Kobe and Kidd played.

Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Pat Riley said that the Suns have problems with the substitute at the third position, and there are problems with the main force at the second position. These situations do exist.

However, the Suns' bench is really much stronger than last season. There are five important substitutes and 10 important rotation players.

They have Holt Reid Williams on the inside who was still the main force last season as a substitute. Tisdale can play for a few minutes per game without any problems. On the outside there are Kidd and Chapman.They also have rookie Kobe, who averaged [-] points per game and contributed steadily. "

"The bench is really strong. It's no wonder that Old K's shots have decreased this season. He can average 30 points per game now, which is not bad. I think his scoring will drop sooner or later." Albert laughed.

"Probably not. The old Tisdale is about to retire, and his state has dropped a lot compared to last season. Williams is a bit uncomfortable as a substitute for two positions, so old K's playing time will not be less, and it will even increase as the regular season progresses. Once the team suffers from injuries, I think his average points per game will increase in the future." Kevin Harlan said with a smile.

On the court, the timeout ends and the game begins.

The Bulls attacked, and Kobe stood in front of Jordan holding the ball, leaning over and making a defensive posture.

Half a step away is his idol. At this moment, he is very excited and uplifted.

"Michael, have the guts to challenge me one-on-one." He actually started to provoke his idol.

Jordan was extremely surprised, he rarely encountered such a bold rookie, little B boy, dare to challenge me one-on-one, is it the confidence that old K gave you?Then today I will let you see, whoever I want to teach, old K can only watch from the sidelines.

He remembered the time when the Suns played Philadelphia and Lightning taught Iverson a lesson. Today he wants to learn from Lightning and teach Kobe a lesson.

"boom!"

Holding the ball with one hand in his right hand, he took a step with his right foot to the right. Under the tentative step, Kobe was shaken back, and Jordan quickly started to break through from the left.

At this time, Kidd at the top of the arc came over to double-team, and Rasheed Wallace in the low post also rushed up from below, forming a three-in-one situation, which will soon take shape.

But at this moment, Jordan stopped suddenly and shot a jumper. The rhythm and shot were very fast. With a bang, the basketball accurately pierced through the net.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA." He smiled at Kobe while retreating.

"Humph!"

Kobe snorted coldly and ran forward desperately.

Sun attack.

Rasheed Wallace pulled to the three-point line, the tiger followed, and Wang Tiejun faced Rick Schmitz in the paint.

Kidd pushed the ball to the frontcourt without the idea of ​​rushing to shoot. After a few games, he has been transformed into a base that does not attack, and the offensive end is mainly organized and passed.

"Jason, give me the ball," Bryant yelled as he ran beyond the right-wing three-point line.

Low, Pharaoh took a look at Kobe.

The current position of the team for Kobe is to play without the ball. He is too young to give him the ball easily. He needs to develop his off-ball ability first.

Even in the bench lineup, because Kidd is in control of the ball, Kobe can't get much possession of the ball and can only play off the ball, let alone occasionally in the main lineup.

But Kobe's character is a bit rebellious. The more he is not given the ball, the more he wants it. Although he will not rebel under his suppression, he still needs to relax the control appropriately.

"give him."

He suddenly called out to Kidd.

You can't just suppress it blindly, you have to give some sweetness when you have the opportunity, this is called kindness and power, so take this good opportunity tonight and let Jordan teach this kid a lesson, so that I don't have to do it myself.

"what?"

Hearing this, Kidd's forehead tattoo suddenly increased.

Not allowing me to play the main force, playing on the bench also deprived me of the shot pass, I have become a basic non-offensive, and now I have to deprive me of the ball, so what else can I do on the offensive end, isn't it the redundant one?
Too much, too much, after finishing my rookie contract, I must escape Phoenix.

But after thinking about it, the ball was passed to Kobe honestly.

Seeing the ball flying over, at this moment, to be honest, Kobe felt like he was going to float, I have the ball!

"Snapped!"

In the next moment, his eyes went black, and he heard a crisp sound, and a person swept past him.

"My ball!"

With grief and indignation, he angrily rushed to Jordan who stole the ball.

"Stolen the ball! Jordan broke the pass, he is going down fast, and the rookie Kobe is chasing it." Albert roared loudly.

"The trapeze is flying!" Kevin Harlan roared excitedly.

"boom!"

Jordan scored from the left wing with the ball, and took off directly from the left waist in the paint area. A tomahawk-style dunk made the United Center cheer.

"Rookie, welcome to the United Center!" Jordan once again expressed his welcome to Kobe.

"Humph!"

Kobe snorted coldly, rushed to the basket, picked up the ball and retreated to the baseline. When he looked at the frontcourt, he saw Old K waving at him from a high position.

"Be careful with the long pass!" A commentator sternly shouted at the scene.

But it was too late, in the high position, the old Wang leaned against Rick Schmitz to catch the ball, and Rodman pounced in front of him. He immediately arched his back quickly, then turned right, avoided Rodman's grabbing the ball, jumped behind the defender, dribbled once, and rushed to the basket.

Immediately after turning around, he grabbed the ball in his hand, and after a step, he jumped up, holding the ball in his left hand, and blasted the basket with one arm, "bang", like a thunderstorm, the whole basket trembled instantly.

"Clap clap clap..."

Even if this is Jordan's home court, even if this is the United Center, they can't help but applaud.

"Beautiful!"

Albert said in admiration: "Catching the ball at a high position, hitting the back and turning around, the whole set of technical movements is very smooth, without any redundant movements. Old K's technical use is getting better and better."

"O'Neill's flexibility is nothing more than that, old K seems to be another shark." Kevin Harlan laughed.

"It is said that O'Neill looks a little fatter now than in the Olympics. Has he gained weight again?" Albert said suddenly.

"It's possible, he can't control his mouth, haha!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

Bulls attack.

Rick Schmitz, who shot accurately, pulled out and was defended by Rasheed Wallace. Lao Wang sat under the basket and faced the big bug.

On the right-wing three-point line, Jordan faced Kobe again, controlling the ball with his right hand, and making a gesture of pulling away with his left hand.

Lao Wang took a look below, hurriedly dubbed him, and shouted: "Get out of the way, let's see how I pretend to be B in front of a rookie."

There was a silence on the field, and then the players on both sides and the people who heard it off the field couldn't help laughing, even the three referees burst out laughing.

Jordan froze for a moment, smiled a little, and shouted a little angrily, "Old K, you have the guts to come out and challenge me one-on-one."

"Take me as a fool, why don't you come in?" Lao Wang replied.

"Just come in." Jordan snorted coldly.

"Michael, calm down." Phil Jackson shouted.

"Bang bang bang!"

After a few quick crotch dribbles, Jordan initiates the drive, but just as Bryant retreats, he pulls up and jumps.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were scored.

"Damn liar!"

Kobe Bryant believed that Jordan would break through, so he could prevent breakthroughs and not prevent shots. He didn't expect to believe him wrongly.

"Remember, Kobe, a man's mouth and a woman's face are the most unreliable." While running to the frontcourt, Lao Wang began to teach the rookie at the right time.

Kobe couldn't hold it back, glanced at Jordan, and said, "I know that a man's mouth is unreliable, but why is a woman's face unreliable?"

"Look what I do?"

Curse secretly, Jordan's face twitched, you idiot rookie, I know this, because of the plastic surgery.

"Because if you don't eat the young chicken from the K martial arts hall, women tend to grow old. Remember, when you find a wife in the future, you must let her eat the medicinal food from the K martial arts hall every day." When the low position was settled, Lao Wang said solemnly.

"What?"

Jordan is confused, so don't I have to order a few more copies every day?

"Damn capitalist, you just want to make money from me. You said it yourself. Men's mouths are unreliable, so I don't believe you." Kobe muttered.

"Go away!"

At this moment, the roar of Rasheed Wallace sounded on the field.

Everyone saw that he and Rodman had fallen to the floor, their arms and legs entangled.

He wanted to run away just now, but the tiger didn't give him a chance at all, so he stalked him, either pinched his arm, or blocked him with his body, and spouted all kinds of irritating trash talk, which gave him a headache.

At this time, the referee's whistle blew, and he ran up to the two, pointed at Rasheed Wallace, and gave him a physical foul, two free throws and one throw.

This angered him into a fit of temper, and under the rush of blood, he got up and roared at the referee: "He is blocking me on purpose, don't you see? It's him, it's him, it's not me, it's not me , It’s him, it’s him, you should have seen it, do you have eyes?”

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle for the second time, a technical foul, and then pointed to the sidelines, signaling Rasheed Wallace to leave the court immediately.

Rasheed Wallace was completely enraged at this moment, and suddenly he roared at the referee, frank oil came out wherever the referee went and wherever he followed.

"Our sophomore is mighty!" Pharaoh exclaimed, this was fiercer than him, he had never sprayed the referee like this before.

"Old K, you won't stop him?" Huo Li ran to Lao Wang and asked.

"It's already happened, just spray it, it's better to beat me up." Old Wang said in a low voice.

"This kind of thing is addictive, what if he becomes addicted?" Huo Li asked with a suppressed smile.

Lao Wang was stunned, did he want to put a zipper on Rashid's mouth?
In the TNT live broadcast, Albert suddenly laughed and said, "Analysed from the lineup, the Suns with Rasheed Wallace, as long as there are no major problems outside, seem to have a greater advantage."

"Why do you say that?" Kevin Harlan asked.

Albert explained: "Because Rodman can't open, Rick Schmitz can only shoot in the middle, and the space for opening is not large enough, so it is very difficult for the Bulls to break in on the offensive end, which will definitely affect the offensive efficiency.

On the offensive end of the Suns, Rasheed Wallace can always pull to the three-point line, which can not only support the old K in low-post singles, but also make it easier to break through from the outside.

The No. [-] position of the Suns, whether it is the main shooting guard Wilkins or the backup shooting guard Kobe Bryant, is good at breakthroughs. Such a lineup will help them improve their offensive efficiency. "

Nodding, Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "But there are advantages and disadvantages. Rodman can't pull out on the offensive end, which is beneficial for him to grab more offensive rebounds."

Albert laughed and said: "That's true. In addition, facing the Suns, he has another important ability, which is to mess up Rasheed Wallace's mentality."

"Ha ha……"

Kevin Harlan laughed twice and said: "This is something he is very good at. He is very calm when he is on the court, constantly stimulating the opponent through various temptations, and ultimately destroying the opponent's mentality."

On the court, Rasheed Wallace still played and went straight back to the locker room.

The referee was in a very upset mood. He was sprayed all over the face, and the rest of the Suns watched the show, which made him feel bad for the Suns. In the next game, the home whistle was particularly obvious, and the Suns were blown once. An offensive foul and two violations.

The Bulls took the opportunity to overtake the score. At 1:24 in the 29th minute of the first quarter, the Suns trailed by 5 points.

Lao Wang and Horry went down to rest first, and the Suns played all the substitutes, as did the Bulls.

The bench lineup, the Suns are very good, the guard line Kidd + Kobe, the small forward is the fringe Hancock, the inside is Holt Reid Williams, and Tisdale.

However, the Bulls' bench lineup is also very strong, with Luke Langley + Tony Kukic on the inside, Jason Caffey at small forward, and Steve Cole + Randy Brown at the back.

Albert said: "Comparatively, the inside of the Suns is still too old. Tisdale is about to retire, and he is trying to fill up the number of players. Although Williams was the main force last season, he is almost 35 years old and is about to retire. He plays games on foot. This season's state is not as good as before. They can't beat Luke Langley and Tony Kukki together, and they are at a disadvantage."

Nodding, Kevin Harlan said: "On the outside, Kidd and Kobe are very aggressive and can take advantage of it."

Albert said with a smile: "So I said, Old K's scoring is likely to increase, because the Suns' inside bench lineup is actually not strong. The two veterans are too old, and their status has declined significantly compared to last season."

In front of the Suns bench, Colangelo Jr. looked at Williams on the field and couldn't help shaking his head.

I played well in the Cavaliers last season. I didn't expect my state to drop so much this season. It seems that people age quickly, and one offseason is enough.

Moreover, Williams occupies a space of 400 million. This signing should be regarded as a failure, and the inside substitute should continue to strengthen.

The only consolation is that Williams' rebounding is okay, and he has a lot of experience in rebounding.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Suns were still two points behind, and then the two sides replaced part of the main lineup to fight again.

Lao Wang and Williams partnered inside, and the Bulls changed the inside lineup, partnered by Luke Langley and Rick Schmitz.

Luke Langley now weighs 130 kilograms, a standard meat shield, responsible for facing the old king, and Rick Schmitz is responsible for offense and defense.

The two of them are 218 centimeters and 224 centimeters, standard twin towers.
