NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 373 The taunt value is full, and the ice hockey scene flashes in Vancouver!

After defeating the Spurs, the Zijin Army went to Vancouver without stopping.

Vancouver, located on the Pacific coast in the southwestern part of British Columbia, Canada, is an international metropolis known as "Hollywood of the North".

In the 1996-97 season, under the leadership of the general manager and part-time coach Stewart, the Vancouver Grizzlies led the team to an embarrassing record of 14 wins.

So far this season, Stewart has invited the new coach Brian Hill, and his coaching performance has not been much better than Stewart. His record is temporarily ranked fourth in the bottom of the league.

In short, this is just a salted fish at the bottom, without any threat at all.

Therefore, the Lin Ke duo had no pressure at all, and they were still leisurely hiding in the hotel room playing Texas Hold'em.

"Hahaha, Lin, you're doomed!"

"I have a showdown, a straight flush!"

"Quickly open, quickly reveal your bottom card!"

The black mamba, who had already lost his red eye, urged Lin Hong to reveal his cards in ecstasy.

After kneeling twenty times in a row, he felt that his luck was about to change.

Looking at the black mamba who is in control of the overall situation, Lin Hong revealed his cards with a smile.

"Sorry, little brother, you lost again!"

"I am 10JQKA, Royal Flush!"

The smile on Kobe's face suddenly froze.

Royal flush?
God, how could it be a royal flush?

He thought that he had a straight flush, and he could finally kill the Quartet and win a game by turning the tables.

totally unexpected!
Lost again!
hateful!

This guy Lin Hong obviously got such a good card, why did he pretend to lose just now?

Feelings are deliberately playing with him! !
As a quasi-student, Kobe was completely confused, his eyes were full of disbelief and doubt.

It turned out that the clown was himself!
Don't doubt it, Kobe is really a top student. He got a score of 1080 on the SAT in the college entrance examination.

"Okay, Lin, I lost again!"

"I didn't expect that I have such a powerful card, but I was crushed by you!"

"Don't talk so much, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, give me money!!"

Kobe pouted, and reluctantly pushed the money over.

Playing all kinds of high-IQ games with Lin Hong, a muscular man, he felt that he was in control, but unexpectedly he was hanged and beaten.

So what about the basketball that you are proud of?

Nothing! !
time flies.

Soon it was seven o'clock in the evening, and the Lakers and their team came to the main stadium of the Vancouver Grizzlies - General Motors Plaza.

Compared to the bustling Great Western Forum, the home stadium of the Vancouver Grizzlies, which has just joined the NBA for three seasons, is indeed shabby.

Looking up, there are empty seats everywhere, and there is really no popularity.

Warm up session.

Just when Kobe came over, planning to practice pick-and-roll with Lin Hong.

Lin Hong took the ball and accelerated to the basket.

Like a hurricane!
Fast as lightning!

Kobe only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and Lin Hong went to the basket in the blink of an eye

fast!
Too fast!
"Oh, My, God!!"

"Lin, why are you so fast, have you taken gunpowder?"

Kobe exclaimed in shock.

next second.

A more terrifying scene appeared.

After Lin Hong reached the basket with the ball, he jumped up.

The feet seem to be loaded with springs, and the entire head is completely over the basket.

Violent slam dunk with both hands!

"Bang dang!!"

Kobe's eyes widened exaggeratedly, with an expression of disbelief all over his face.

too crazy!

at this time.

The basket that was bombed by Lin Hong's violent slam dunk let out bursts of wailing.

Seeing the crumbling basketball hoop, Lin Hong shrugged his shoulders, and complained nonchalantly, "This basketball hoop is too hard to buckle, and it will fall apart with just a little effort."

His pretense and sarcasm woke Kobe up in an instant.

You earned the money, and you pretended to be forced! !

Soon came the moment when the race started.

The whistle blew.

The two sides began to jump the ball.

There were no surprises. Lin Hong single-handedly passed the ball to Bowen in the backcourt.

"Shu~"

Bowen counter-passed to Kobe.

Between one pass and one attack!
Lin Hong, who went down with all his strength, had already cut into the opponent's penalty area.

At this time, Kobe feeds the ball and makes a shot, and the half-air ball is given...

"Shu~"

Lin Hong made an alley-oop, dunked and scored, winning the first place.

2: 0.

The Lakers started the first attack and scored steadily.

Daniels signaled his teammates to serve the floor ball.At this time, the moment the ball was served in the backcourt, the ball rolled along the floor.

Since no one touched the ball, the timer didn't start when the half-court distance was skating.

The attack time is 24 seconds!
"Looking at it right now, they're making the most of every second."

"But the Grizzlies suppressed the offensive rhythm at the beginning of the game, which is obviously going to cause trouble."

The commentators are a little confused, where does the Grizzlies have the confidence.

Puzzled, he could only cast his eyes on the field to find the answer.

I saw Kobe followed up abruptly, he wanted to grab the floor ball before the other party reacted.

"Shu~"

Daniels quickly brought the ball up with a sneer:
"Here? You are the one waiting."

I saw him accelerating the breakthrough, creating the illusion of breaking through from the left...

And Kobe was very blocked, sealing the space, and even reached out to try to steal.

At this time, I saw Daniels pulling back, as if he had stopped, and there was a rhythm difference.

Kobe stopped abruptly and turned around.

He saw Daniels about to stop and shoot.

"Shu~"

Stick to keep up.

He tried his best to block the opponent's shot and got stuck.

Change direction!

There was something wrong with Daniels the moment he made the shot.

This time the movement is deformed, not to mention the hit, I am afraid that whether it can touch the basket will be a problem.

"Daniels must be a non-stick player."

"Do you dare to bet with me?"

The voices of fans betting against each other sounded: "Of course you dare."

"What's wrong with that."

"It's open! I swear this ball must be three non-stick."

"Shu~"

I saw the basketball draw a beautiful arc in mid-air, and then swiped the net perfectly into the basket.

The Grizzlies scored +2.

Seeing this scene, the fans opened their mouths slightly.

"Who said just now that he doesn't touch the ball."

"Judging from the scene where he handles the deformation of his movements, he has at least practiced against three-pointers, okay?"

In the commentary seat, Albert gave a slight thumbs up and pointed to Daniels:
"Based on my many years of experience in commenting, this shot after a confrontation must have been specially practiced, and the movement is very standard. The moment you stabilize the shot, you know that the shot has been made."

Hearing the commentary Albert talking in general, Kobe shook his head noncommittally:

"Still stabilizing the shot, the key is to find the balance."

"Let you see what a textbook-level shooting handle is."

Thinking of this, Kobe withdrew to the bottom corner.

The defensive player Daniels got stuck, blocked the outside with one hand, and made an action to block the pass.

On the other side, Bowen and the big insider played a screen pick-and-roll.

Three threats are thrown!
Levi's on the side slammed forward, trying to block Bowen's shot.

But Bowen didn't intend to make a strong attack at all, and passed the ball out.

"Shu~"

Kobe received the ball from the bottom corner, which was obviously an open opportunity, but he deliberately waited for two seconds.

"Shu~"

Daniels kept up with the top defense, stuck in position and forced Kobe to pass the ball.

"You can't stop me!"

I saw Kobe ignoring the defense, forced to take off, rose to the highest point before shooting, and found the balance point with his strong ability to stay in the air.

With a twist of the waist and a flick of the wrist, the basketball flew straight to the basket.

This time he didn't choose to lean back, but chose to drift and cast...

"The posture is perfect. Whether you can enter or not depends on the last trembling."

"But there is obviously something wrong with this shot selection!!"

Lin Hong frowned slightly, but in the end he held back.

Because Kobe's current state is what he wants to see.

Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, only the sound of brushing the net was heard, and the basketball entered the net.

The Lakers scored +3.

Kobe's dark poker face finally showed a smile, and his eyes were full of pleasure after release.

He really, really held it in for too long.

This drifting three-pointer scored a strong shot, which made him very happy.

At the same time, Albert in the commentary seat opened his mouth suddenly:
"What did I say before?"

"I seem to say that Daniels' transformation mid-range shot just now was a textbook performance?"

"Sorry, I made a mistake. Regardless of shooting percentage, Kobe Bryant's elegant shooting is the real textbook level!"

After being shown his face, Daniels was obviously a little unconvinced, and once again found a 45-degree angle to the left, and shot from the top.

But this time, he stabilized the movement of the shot, but he didn't grasp the strength of the shot, it was short.

Bang!

Shots hit the iron.

Daniels' eyes widened, a little unacceptable, "How could it be? I obviously..."

3 minutes later, Kobe Bryant staged another magic stroke...

Kobe hit a mid-range jumper with an emergency stop, and the defender Daniels was accidentally tripped by his teammates after the defense landed and slid a few meters away.

Naturally, Xiaoke would not let go of my excellent opportunity to ridicule, and immediately chased the fallen Daniels and spouted trash talk.

Gives a feeling of playing ice hockey.

Daniels, who was devastated, was directly replaced by the Grizzlies coach.

"We have no chance of winning if you beat us like this."

"Show me your shot timing and shot selection, why are you looking for those bad opportunities?"

In this way, Daniels was pressed on the bench to reflect.

3 minutes passed.

Daniels is back on the field.

He organizes the attack on the left.

The Grizzlies offense features a lot of off-ball screens.

Open up the space and attack inside singles.

"Shu~"

I saw the ball was given to the bottom corner on one side, and then the ball was transferred to the middle distance on the right.

Create singles opportunities.

Take further cover.

"Shu~"

I saw that power forward Raheem made a breakthrough from one side, killing the inside line.

"Bang!"

Score +2.

After a series of screens, the Grizzlies hit the field goal, which gave them a boost of morale.

"I said I want to play like this, isn't that right?"

The coach shouted loudly from the side.

Ball transfer.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Lin Hong passed the ball from the bottom corner and sent the ball inside to Bowen.

Lin Hong accelerated from a bottom corner and almost completed the cut along the bottom line.

At this time, Bowen threw the ball backhand, and sent the ball into the air without looking at the pass.

"Shu~"

Lin Hong seemed to be gliding in mid-air with his strength, catching the moon in the air, and with a "boom", the tomahawk dunked into the net.

Score +2.

"hiss!"

The fans shouted in surprise.

On the other side, on the big screen, there was also a slow-motion replay of the ball.

Fans who hadn't seen that scene before opened their eyes in Wangshi.

"How dare Bruce Bowen pass the ball."

"This is near the bottom line, the vision is bad, the angle is narrow, and he dare not look at the pass."

"The most frightening thing is that Lin Hong handled it perfectly this time!"

After the fans exclaimed, they all looked at Lin Hong.

They felt that Lin Hong was the key to this goal.

Ball transfer.

The ball was further given to the Grizzlies inside, and they seemed to be hooked, and they were about to fight inside.

"The defense keeps up, don't let them into the three-second zone easily."

Lin Hong opened his mouth to remind.

"Shu~"

Bowen came from the outside and took the ball.

Steal +1.

The sudden steal caught Grizzlies power forward Otis Thorpe off guard. He didn't recover for a long time and almost forgot to return to defense.

"2 against 1 in the frontcourt!"

"Defense, the Lakers are going to score again!"

Grizzlies fans shouted anxiously.

Kobe and Bowen formed a horn attack, while Grizzlies center Levi's stood in the paint and hesitated, with men on the left and right:

"What should I do, this fast break can't be defended!"

The moment he rushed into the paint area, Kobe stood on the left side, posing a huge threat to the attacking frame.

Bowen cuts in from the right, pretending to make the ball to help Bryant fly.

At this time, Levi's was in a dilemma and could only stare at Bowen who was holding the ball.

At the moment when the opponent's ball-making action emerged, he reached out to the left in anticipation for a steal.

In the next second, Bowen really passed the ball, a bold through ball!
However, under the action of huge inertia, Levi's could not stabilize the center of gravity, and his body moved a small half step.

Lost in millimeters, a thousand miles.

Just this small half step, let him watch the basketball pass by his fingertips.

"Shu~"

Bryant took off and sent a large pull-bar layup in mid-air.

In the eyes of outsiders, the ball fell steadily into the Nets like a precise guidance.

Score +2.

Levi's on the side was stunned, and this attack and pass caught him completely off guard.

next round.

Levi's continued to sink to the inside card position.

At this moment, Daniels on the outside waved his hand to signal him to mention the high position for off-ball screens, which made him very speechless.

After he came to the top of the arc, Daniels used the screen to pass the ball to the three-point shooter Sam Mark who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Mark glanced up at the rim, his left foot sticking out.

Bowen immediately leaned half a step to the left.

Sam Mark took advantage of this opportunity and quickly took two steps towards the basket.

Eh, this taste...isn't it right?

Others didn't know, but Sam Mark felt that breaking the defense this time was a little too easy.

Therefore, he chose to stop the shot urgently, and at the same time, he kept an eye out to prevent Lin Hong from killing him and flying into the big hat.

Sure enough, Lin Hong turned around and successfully left Levi's behind, swooped with one hand, and slid out.

Good guy!
Still here!

It's not that easy to tease me!
Sam Mark feigned a true pass and passed the ball to Levi under the basket, who easily scored the goal.

And this momentary change made Lin Hong who was in the gliding state very embarrassed. He slapped him for nothing, and the excessive force of the volleyball smash made him completely lose his center of gravity, and fell sideways on the ground. There was an uproar in the audience.

Especially Levi's under the basket raised his fists happily, shouted desperately, and then rushed to Lin Hong and shook his fingers desperately, full of taunting.

Lin Hong!

you have today too?
Do you really think you are God? !

It fell beautifully! !
……

As for the generals of the Lakers, looking at the sarcasm of Levi's, they wondered for a while whether this guy had an enlarged gallbladder, otherwise he couldn't explain why he was so courageous and dared to provoke the martial saints of the Celestial Dynasty.

"Lin, are you okay!" Da Ben stepped forward and pulled Lin Hong up.

"What's the matter, play faster this round, and show them some color!" Lin Hong strode forward with a dark face.

"Brothers, remember me!!"

"Slow down quietly, don't shoot the gun."

"Pay attention to the speed of returning to defense later, don't let them take advantage of the loopholes!"

The Lakers served from the bottom line and quickly pushed to the frontcourt. Kobe shot directly after using the screen, and this time he made a direct hit in the mid-range shot.

Swapping offense and defense, and the Lakers' return to defense was surprisingly fast, and all the Grizzlies felt a sense of oppression that was about to come.

"Be careful, I always feel like something is going to happen!" Levi yelled at his teammates.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what tricks they want to play, as long as I pull Lin Hong out of the penalty area, that's your chance!"

Sam Mark was full of self-confidence. After all, he had suffered a huge loss at the hands of the giant of the Celestial Dynasty who would tremble every time anyone saw it, and this kind of thing was enough for him to brag about for three years.

"Yes, no matter what they want to do, defensive leakage is their weakness!"

Daniels said in a low voice, "Sam, if you have a chance, you can shoot. Be optimistic about Lin Hong, and make sure you keep your shots at a safe distance!"

"no problem!"

……

PS: Jokic scored 50+ in the air. Although the defeat is glorious, the Nuggets' bench is really not good in this game! !
