Chapter 153 153. Kobe Bryant Riding Buckle!

How to choose between shooting and dunking?
NBA players will choose to dunk, not only because they look more handsome, but because they have a higher shooting percentage!
There is a data that looks very funny, that is, the dunk percentage is the highest among all the ways to put the ball into the basket. The NBA's average field goal percentage is as high as 80.00%, which is higher than the NBA's average free throw percentage.

Even if there are [-] dunks, [-] will be blocked or dunked. Of course, dunks account for a larger proportion. If it is a dunk that has enough opportunities, it is difficult to be blocked.

In the 4th minute of the game, the score of the two sides was already 16 to 16, and the scoring efficiency was frighteningly high!
For the Pacers, West scored 16 points, swept the Pacers' points, and made all eight shots!

The Lakers vigorously scored 10 points and Kobe scored 6 points.

The Lakers had no way to attack the Pacers. After the first ball, they chose not to defend mid-range and long-range shots, and focused on rebounding and counterattacking.

The Pacers made some countermeasures. Paul George and Stephenson took the initiative to keep up with the fast-moving Liu Ren in an attempt to defend him.

But Kobe also entered the ranks of counterattack vanguards and became a fast break 2 on 2.

The combination of Liu Ren and Kobe counterattacked the opponent, only two people can keep up with the speed of the counterattack, it is impossible to defend against it!
So it became a duel to see who is more accurate in shooting or dunking.

It was the Pacers offense again, and West still received the ball in that position.

Finally, West's excellent touch ran out, and he missed a mid-range shot!

Liu Ren and Kobe fight back!
Without thinking, Stephenson immediately chased after Liu Ren and Kobe.

Paul George hesitated, went inside to grab a rebound.

If the Pacers have any weakness, it is that their statistics are low. Although they can suppress their opponents to a lower level, it is a fact that they have few rebounds and few assists!
希伯特这赛季打出巅峰水准，但也只有14分7板，和加索尔打养生球的篮板相比都要少0.5个，加索尔本赛季11分7.5板5.5次助攻的数据妥妥的华丽。

Thackeray opened his arms to stop West and Paul George behind him, his huge body was like a wall in front of them.

Gasol easily grabbed the rebound from Hibbert's head. Hibbert looked so tall, and the rebound was really bad.

Because it was a missed shot, it gave George Hill the opportunity to interfere with Nash's reception, and wanted to use this to block the Lakers' fast break.

But Gasol's pass was not blocked either!The title of the best passer in the league is not for nothing!
Gasol himself made a long pass to the frontcourt!

Stephenson saw the ball passed, and quickly analyzed in his head, was it passed to Liu Ren or Kobe?
In an instant, Stephenson made a decision and chased after Liu Ren, who had already rushed into the three-second zone.

but!

Liu Ren didn't catch the ball, and Stephenson also chose the wrong defensive target!
Stephenson screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly turned around.

At this time, a No. 24 jersey rushed towards Stephenson...

"boom"

Kobe rides on Stephenson's neck and dunks the ball into the hoop!
Stephenson was hit and knocked out of the bottom line!
Liu Ren, who had sensed an ominous premonition in advance, leaned against the big man who stared straight at the side to take pictures of the uncle, thinking that luckily this uncle ran fast, otherwise he would have been detained by this stinky old man!This stinky old man recovered two years ahead of schedule, and was reimbursed twice less. It really wasn't comparable to the old man who went on tour later!

The fans at the scene screamed loudly, and everyone went crazy. Who said that Kobe can only shoot basketballs when he is old!
Liu Ren patted the uncle-like shoulder to remind him to continue working, and then ran forward and high-fived the expressionless Kobe back to the defense.

The game continued, and the others on the field were not surprised by Kobe's dunk. Unlike Liu Ren, who saw Kobe's most struggling and worst year, their impression of Kobe was still the strongest scorer. This kind of dunk used to be the same as It's as easy as drinking water.

Kobe's slam dunk is taken for granted by the Pacers, so it didn't deal much blow to them, how to play or how to play.

The Lakers also continued to fight back, and both sides came and went.

The Pacers' open shots were really accurate. The Lakers did not lose a defensive rebound. At 6 minutes and 27 seconds, Stephenson missed a three-pointer and popped out of bounds to enter the official timeout. The Lakers, with a 100% shooting percentage, only led 26 to 22 4 points!
Counting the three-pointers missed by Stephenson on the Pacers side, only four goals were missed!Everything else is in!And two of three three-pointers!
The two sides began to rotate.

For the Lakers, Nash, Kobe, and Liu Ren have no tendency to get tired. This style of play is too easy and comfortable for Nash. Now he is in good condition. Seeing this, D'Antoni did not replace him.

If Kobe only scored, and it was this kind of fast break scoring, it was not the kind of play where one person takes two strong shots. For him, there is no problem of physical exertion at all, and he will continue to stay on the court.

After a few games of adaptation, Kobe is now fully recovered. Although he can't keep up with the level of last season, he is in a better state than the year led by Mike Brown.

Needless to say, Liu Ren has strange physical strength. He is the most reassuring point for D'Antoni. He shouldn't rest at this time and stay on the court.

Gasol and Thackeray were replaced, no matter whether the opponent made a shot or not, they both had to elbow the big guy Hibbert, only the two of them were a little tired.

The Lakers replaced Antetokounmpo and Whiteside.

For the Pacers, George Hill, Stephenson, and Paul George also stayed on the court. They were replaced by West, who had already missed three goals after shooting too many shots, and with Thackeray and Gasol. Tired Hibbert.

Hibbert's physical fitness has always been a huge problem. He has played for six or seven years and has not averaged more than 28 minutes per game.

The Pacers replaced the former Rockets Argentine Titans Luis Scola and French center Ian Mahinmi.

After the timeout, the game continues and the Lakers have the ball.

There is definitely no way to play a fast break with this ball, and the Lakers are honestly on the ground.

What surprised Nash was that Liu Ren took the initiative to ask for the ball at the top arc. Kobe was going to fall to the low post to play Stephenson in singles.

Seeing this, Nash handed the ball to Liu Ren.

Defending Liu Ren is Paul George, the best perimeter defender of the Pacers, and also the super defensive champion with the highest defensive efficiency among all perimeters in the league so far this season.

Liu Renmao dribbles down the waist, and Paul George is ready.

Liu Ren is the Lakers player with the highest scoring average per game. Up to the last game, Liu Ren averaged 27.3 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

So the Pacers sent Paul George to defend Liu Ren.

Liu Ren dribbled the ball slowly, and seemed in no rush to attack.

"Paul, I feel a little unworthy of you."
