NBA backer king

Chapter 531 Kobe Bryant's Defensive End
The Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers at home, which became the focus of media hype on sports news the next day. The Lakers and Lao Wang became the targets of ridicule by many media.

It is the pissing nature of the media to exalt the high and depress the low. Lao Wang has been here for six years, and he has long been familiar with it.

The Western Conference Finals G3 game is on the 22nd, and the Lakers will go to Portland on the 21st, and they can rest in Los Angeles for two days.

On the 20th, the Eastern Conference Finals G2 battle.

The Knicks still defeated the Pacers with absolute strength and won two consecutive home games.

On this day, the Pacers, Reggie Miller and Ewing replaced the Lakers and Lao Wang, and became the target of ridicule by the media.

After watching the game, Lao Wang and Barkley were about to go to bed. When they got to the door of the room, they suddenly received a call from O'Neill.

"shark……"

"Old K, I'll be waiting for you in the finals, see you soon."

As soon as he opened his mouth, O'Neal on the opposite side yelled.

"Don't worry, I will take care of those two guys, Dameng and Duncan. See you in the finals." He said.

"I think you will miss the appointment, old K, you will lose face this time, haha!" O'Neal smiled triumphantly.

"Hehe! Shark, hugging Jordan's thigh, do you think you can beat me?" Lao Wang sneered twice.

"Nonsense, who hugged his thigh? Yes..."

Over there, O'Neill was furious, and wanted to say that Jordan came to hug his thigh, but Jordan was by his side, so he didn't dare to speak, so he faltered.

"Anyway, you and him always have a thigh hug. If it's not him, then it's you." Old Wang continued to prod.

"Then you and Richmond are also in a group? He is still at the peak and younger than Michael." O'Neill countered.

"You idiot, Shaq, stop talking nonsense."

Lao Wang is not in a hurry here, but Jordan next to O'Neal is in a hurry.

"Ha ha!"

Lao Wang heard Jordan's voice, laughed twice and hung up the phone.

Entering the bedroom, it was already past ten o'clock, Yu Feihong was still still in bed, and was still dealing with the affairs of the trading company, which is the normal state after opening a trading company, so he asked, "Brother Fei, there is so much business that I have to take it home to deal with, why don't you invite a few more people?"

"No matter how many people you invite, you have to keep an eye on some things. This is no different than my film and television company, which invests in a few films a year. The amount of trade between the two trading companies is too large. What should I do if something goes wrong? Now both companies have to deal with matters." Yu Feihong said.

"What about the second sister?"

"How can she have time to take care of these specific things? I do it all."

"Oh."

"Husband, you don't understand what I mean?"

"Understood, you can raise your own salary. One day you will give me another daughter, and I will give you 5% of the shares in the domestic trading company, and my daughter 5%."

"Puchi! Did you have a son?"

"Dabao is fine with one son, and the penalty for another son is 5%."

"For the domestic trading company, you only give me 5% in total. If you want to take it back, you can directly open it. There is no need to make excuses. I will have another son next time."

"Haha, give birth, give birth."

"By the way, can you make it to the finals this year?"

"It's hard to say, the Blazers are very strong. But last night, Little Momonga broke out from the beginning to the end. It is estimated that the next game will not be better. He is injured. As long as he plays normally in the next game, we should have a higher chance of winning. If we can win two away games, the Western Conference Finals will be stable."

……

"Brother Tiejun, here we come."

The next day, on the morning of May 5st, Liu Wei, Liu Jihua and Du Feng came to Los Angeles, and they were also on vacation.

"Okay, you guys will train at my house for the time being, and return home together after I finish the finals." Old Wang said.

All three of them participated in the NCAA Division II basketball league, and their performance in the first season was not bad. They all gained a firm foothold in their respective school teams, their playing time was guaranteed, and they were about the same age as Dayao.

"Liu Wei, you are here."

Dayao, who was training in the training room, heard Liu Wei and the others coming, and immediately ran out and yelled.

"Dayao, you are famous in America."

"Where, it's been two years, and we haven't even made it to the finals."

"That's not your problem alone."

Both came from the Tiejun summer camp, and Liu Wei and Dayao were still old teammates. As soon as the three of them arrived, they immediately mixed up with Dayao.

Lao Wang took a look at Liu Wei and the three of them. They were all stronger than half a year ago, and they should have completed the first phase of the weight gain plan.

He seized the time to check their situation, and he gave each of the three a training plan, including strength training and technical training.

The two point guards, Liu Wei and Liu Jihua, have added the most basic ball-handling training to them, and then there is also the combination of man and ball training, which is extremely important for a point guard.

In addition, there are some steps to train. He gave the basketball version of the club footwork training video to the two. Kobe also practiced according to the video. He asked the two to work hard and practice the basic skills of the club step. Then they will put it into practical use, and even have the opportunity to join the NBA in the future.

In addition to these trainings, let them receive Lightning's training in addition to training. He has already asked Lightning for help.

These three little guys have made great achievements in terms of physical fitness and skills. He believes that after two or three years of training, even if they can't play in the NBA, there is hope for them to play basketball in Europe.

He felt that instead of being a marginal player in the NBA, it would be better to play in other professional leagues.

If he can't make it in the NBA in the future, he will also suggest to play in other leagues, so the development may be better.

At 11:[-] in the morning, Lao Wang went to the team headquarters, and then the Lakers rushed to Portland. The two places were only [-] kilometers away, and they arrived at their destination at [-]:[-] noon.

On this day, many media speculated that the Blazers would rely on their home court advantage to win the second game, and the Lakers would have a smaller chance of winning.

On the 22th, the Western Conference Finals G3 match day.

In the afternoon, the Lakers came to the Rose Garden Arena.

This arena can accommodate up to 19980 seats and has 650 TV sets. Even if fans go to pee, they can keep track of the progress of the game at any time through the ubiquitous TV sets.

In the middle of the arena, there is a circle of luxurious private rooms, a total of 22 rooms, each of which can accommodate [-] people. Now these private rooms are full, and the attraction of the western duo is still very attractive.

"Old K, how does your basketball gym compare to this?" Bryant asked.

Lao Wang looked at the rose garden and said, "It's not worse than here. I have photos at home. You can go and see for yourself."

"Will the league arrange for us to play preseason games in your arena?" Kobe suddenly asked excitedly.

Old Wang was taken aback. This seems to be really possible. The league's preseason games are not necessarily held in the United States, and sometimes they will go to Europe, where tickets can be sold.

But I'm afraid it won't work next season. The sports center hasn't been built yet, so we can only wait for the future.

"Old K." Dameng's voice sounded from behind.

When Lao Wang and the others turned their heads, they saw the Blazers also coming.

"Dameng, are you here to train too?" Old Wang asked.

"Yes, there was a problem at the training base today, the power went out." Dameng said helplessly.

"Haha, this is an omen for you to lose." Lao Wang smiled happily.

"You have a good idea!" Dameng said angrily.

After everyone chatted for a few words, the Blazers went to another basketball court.

The Rose Garden Center is a multi-functional gymnasium, which can be used not only for basketball games, but also for many activities. There are a total of three courts, one for competitions, and the other two are training grounds, which can be used not only for basketball training, but also for many purposes.

At 07:30, the two sides announced the starting lineup, which was the same as the G2 game and remained unchanged.

Lakers: Wang Tiejun, Danny Fortson, Richmond, Kobe, Mark Price
Trail Blazers: Olajuwon, Duncan, Walter Williams, Isiah Ryder, Damon Stoudemire
At eight o'clock, the game officially started. After the jump ball, the Blazers attacked.

Duncan ran to the frontcourt, Lao Wang followed, and the former landed directly on the free throw line and stopped moving. It was clear that he was still going to play the high-position pick-and-roll tactic that made great contributions in the previous game.

According to the requirements of defensive tactics, Lao Wang stood half a step away from Duncan.

At this time, the little flying mouse was holding the ball close to the top of the arc, and Kobe was highly focused, defending and retreating.

Wang Tiejun stared at the two people a few steps away from Duncan's head, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind. He felt that Kobe's defense was too passive, so he immediately shouted: "Kobe, take the initiative to force him."

Kobe was startled, but reacted immediately, and immediately went up to press down.

He used the big to force the small, and took the initiative, and the sudden pressing behavior made the little flying mouse a little confused.

Little Momonga hastily took a step back, but Kobe immediately followed up and took a step forward, forcing the former to turn back (left) to protect the ball, and then turned around and broke through, Kobe immediately chased and defended.

Little Momonga reached the top of the arc with the ball, and Kobe chased to his right side, squeezing outward with his body.

Duncan quickly took a small step to the left, made a pick-and-roll, and blocked Kobe.

But almost at the same time, Lao Wang, who had been prepared for a long time, also responded defensively. He strode sideways to the left behind Duncan, and blocked the front of Little Flying Squirrel half a beat ahead of him.

"Oh!"

Little Momonga was caught off guard, bumped headfirst into him, bounced back and fell to the ground, losing control of the ball.

Kobe reacted quickly, jumped over from the flying mouse, threw himself on the floor to grab the ball, then turned over and threw it to Lao Wang.

"Beautiful! Kobe took the initiative to press and forced the little flying mouse to break through, breaking the Blazers' high pick-and-roll tactics, and the old K also completed a beautiful interception." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

Mark Price and Richmond went down quickly, and Ryder, who was retreating, defended one and two. In a dilemma, he was weak in defense and finally chose to defend with his eyes, watching Richmond complete a dunk.

2:0, the Blazers attacked.

"Kobe, well done, just defend him like this." Harris shouted from the sidelines.

Kobe himself was also very happy. He failed to defend against Little Flying Squirrel for two consecutive games. Although the success this time was the last interception by Old K, it was also an opportunity created by his active pressing.

Now he knows that through active defense, he can exert oppression on the opponent and let the opponent act according to his own wishes. At least he must force the opponent not to do whatever he wants. Even if the defense is successful, it is much better than passive defense.

This time, he once again made an active defense, forcing the small flying mouse to the left wing, and lost the opportunity to perform a high pick-and-roll with Duncan.

Little Momonga pulled to the left wing and still used Williams' pick-and-roll to break through, but Richmond's reaction was very fast.

He and Kobe are both shooting guards, about the same height. In this situation, there is only one reaction, immediately switch defenses, catch up with Little Momonga, and squeeze the opponent outward through physical confrontation.

Little Momonga failed to break through, so he could only pull towards the left bottom corner, then turned around and shot a forceful shot on Richmond's head, hitting a big one with a small one, almost being capped, short, and shot a three-point shot.

"Kobe!"

Lao Wang, who returned to defend the basket, received the pass from Little Flying Squirrel. Seeing that Kobe had turned around and was about to go off, he quickly shouted and passed the ball.

"Another time, well done!" Su Qun said excitedly.

"Rock's defense is very tough, and Kobe's defense today is also very good, as if he has got the hang of it." Zhang Reasonable said.

"boom!"

Kobe went into the paint and blasted the Blazers' rim with a tomahawk dunk.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Actually, the Lakers' perimeter defense is better than the Blazers. Rock is a strong point, so the Blazers usually don't play from his side, but Kobe and Price.

If Kobe continues to play such a defense today, the Blazers' perimeter will definitely be suppressed.Especially through Kobe's defense, he broke the high pick-and-roll tactics, which is very important. "

4:0, the Blazers attacked and called a timeout.

Dunleavy used his brains, but couldn't come up with any good solution for a while, because the consecutive offensive failures were all caused by the Lakers' active defense. The initiative was in the hands of others, and he was a passive side.

How he won the game, of course he is very clear. Now that the Lakers have made it clear that Momo and Duncan are not allowed to pick and roll in the high position, how will he break the opponent's defensive tactics?
At the end of the timeout, Flying Squirrel received the ball from the front court and pulled it to the top of the arc. Duncan went up to the high position again. At this time, the former rushed to the latter before Kobe pressed him, and then immediately bypassed the latter and ran to the high position.

Flying Squirrel intends to cut into the paint from the right elbow area. This cutting position can avoid being blocked by the old K. If the old K dares to make up, Duncan will go directly to the basket.

At this time, Duncan passed the ball back to the flying mouse, and the flying mouse took the ball and went straight to the basket.

Wang Tiejun, who was below the free throw line, immediately returned to the basket. Fordson still had a big dream and did not intend to return to the basket.

The coaching staff has only one defensive requirement for Fortson today, to resist the big dream and try not to let him get close to the basket. If the old K is in the paint area, he does not need to immediately defend the basket.

At this time, the little flying mouse breaks through and divides the ball. When dribbling the ball with his left hand, he pushes back and hits the ground to pass the ball.

But in the next moment, when the ball just hit the floor, Lao Wang, who was returning to the basket, also quickly stopped and turned around, and then stepped out with a ferocious stride. When the basketball bounced off the ground and fell into Duncan's hands, he pounced on it.

He didn't believe that Little Flying Squirrel dared to force a layup under his return defense, so there was room for the return defense, and the current return defense was well prepared and very fast.

As soon as Duncan received the ball, he saw that Old K had already jumped in front of him. Where there was still space, he could only push forward with his left elbow and hit a sideways hook with one hand with his right hand.

The ball flew over the big hand of Lao Wang's blocker, was wiped by the tip of the middle finger, shortened, and bounced on the basket with a bang.

Little Flying Squirrel quickly jumped up to grab the rebound, but unexpectedly Kobe had already chased the basket, grabbed the rebound on top of him and took the backcourt rebound.

"Beautiful! This should be considered a block. Old K's hand obviously touched the ball, and the arc of the ball changed." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"The defense was too hard today. The Lakers defended against the Blazers' offense three times in a row. If they continue to play like this, they will have to call a timeout again." Zhang Lili laughed.
