Chapter 431 Li Lei vs Kobe Bryant
Back in the second quarter.

The situation on the field finally changed, and the Grizzlies' bench lineup was obviously stronger.

Gay, Warrick, Tylen Lue and others continued to attack, playing a wave of 6:0 offensive waves and successfully overtaking the score.

24: 29.

In comparison, the Lakers' bench lineup is very hip, and there are no strong players.

Of course, this is only a temporary situation.

With the deepening of the season, veterans who still have strength continue to contact the Lakers, hoping to follow the Lakers to win the championship ring.

But now...

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Lakers immediately replaced Kobe.

As we all know, Kobe is also one of the few stamina monsters in the league.

Facing his former teammate and good friend Eddie Jones, Kobe scored consecutively to help the Lakers stabilize the situation.

Compared with the 35-year-old Hill who is still in good physical condition, the 36-year-old Jones has declined severely in the past two seasons.

Anyone can see that these two seasons are probably the last journey of the old Jones.

This is the last bloom of a veteran!
Coach Carlisle saw that the situation was wrong and reminded Guy and Jones to switch defenses.

Gay has outstanding physical talent, height and long arms, and is a good seed for defense. He has trained with Li Lei for more than a season, and his defensive level is above average.

But when Gay faced Kobe, he looked very immature, and his seemingly good defense was immediately riddled with holes, and was directly smashed by Kobe.

The Lakers also regained the lead under the leadership of Kobe.

33: 31.

Coach Carlisle looked helplessly at the bench. There were still two people who could defend Kobe, Li Lei and Hill.

But Carlisle didn't want to replace them so early.

After all, Hill has potential injuries, and his playing time is strictly limited.

And Li Lei...

Carlisle also realized recently that the Grizzlies rely too much on Li Lei's personal ability.

It's not that Carlisle is afraid that Li Lei's growing prestige in the team will threaten him.

But Li Lei himself is different from Kobe.

Li Lei is taller and consumes more physical energy. It is impossible to play for a long time like Kobe, which may also cause injuries.

In addition, Carlisle also realized that the Grizzlies are so dependent on Li Lei, it is difficult to go further.

After all, basketball is a team sport. Superstars are important, but role players cannot be ignored.

Coach Carlisle has actually been thinking about how to give more play to the abilities of other players recently and provide more help to Li Lei.

However, Carlisle has never had a clue.

However, seeing that Kobe wanted anything he wanted on the court, and the rest of the Grizzlies had nothing to do with him, Carlisle still signaled Li Lei to get ready to play.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Li Lei came on and replaced Jones.

The two clashed fists on the sidelines.

"Old guy, watch me avenge you!"

Li Lei joked.

"Don't be blown away by Kobe."

Old Jones did not show weakness.

If you want to say who is closest to Li Lei in the Grizzlies, it should be Old Jones.

When Li Lei first entered the NBA, Old Jones took good care of Li Lei, and Li Lei was also very grateful to him.

So even though Li Lei is getting stronger and stronger now, Old Jones can still joke with Li Lei casually.

Newcomers like Lowry and Guy would not have the guts to do so.

After playing, Li Lei took a look at the score first.

35: 31.

4 points behind, some hit.

Li Lei pulled Guy to him.

"Kobe is mine now, you don't need to help defend. Keep an eye on Vujacic, that guy's basket is very accurate."

Guy nodded naturally.

The game continues.

Tyronn Lue advanced to the frontcourt and immediately handed the ball to Li Lei.

As soon as Li Lei got the ball, Kobe took the initiative to post it.

Whoa whoa whoa!
The scene suddenly became excited.

The league's number one shooting guard vs. the league's number one small forward.

In addition, Kobe is the No.1 Mesozoic player, and Li Lei is the leader of the new generation.

The duel between the two naturally attracted attention.

"I'm coming!"

Director Zhang Weiping and Su Qun from the CCTV studio also cheered up immediately.

Li Lei held the ball with one hand, facing Kobe sideways.

Kobe put his chest up in an instant, and spread his long arms, constantly putting pressure on Li Lei. His defense was very aggressive.

Li Lei was very uncomfortable being posted.

However, after being the boss of the Grizzlies for a year, he is also used to this kind of treatment.

Constantly rotating the body, blocking Kobe's arm with his body, not giving Kobe a chance to succeed.

The physical confrontation between the two continued, and the sound of muscle collision came from time to time, which stimulated the blood of the fans on the scene.

But at this moment, Li Lei caught a glimpse of Warrick's sudden activation by virtue of his height advantage.

Li Lei made a false move, and suddenly hung the basketball to the hoop.

Warrick rises to the ground, catches the ball in the air, and completes the operation.

boom!
35: 33.

This alley-oop cooperation is very good-looking, but the fans are not satisfied. What they want to see is a one-on-one between Kobe and Li Lei.

Kobe also took the opportunity to provoke Li Lei: "What? Facing my defense, you don't even have the courage to make a move?"

Li Lei didn't take it seriously: "Is Hajim's 2 points different from my 2 points?"

Kobe: "Don't make excuses for your cowardice!"

Li Lei: "Do you think that if you speak louder, you won't be cowardly?"

……

Kobe and Li Lei ran towards the frontcourt of the Lakers, spamming trash talk without stopping.

The cameraman at the scene was very sensible and directly gave the two of them a close-up.

The fans were even more excited when they saw this scene.Although the competition in the first quarter was fierce, it always felt that something was missing.

And now, here it comes.

Lakers offense.

Kobe holds the ball, and Li Lei stands in front of Kobe.

Li Lei spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity, and stared at Kobe fiercely.

Kobe looked at Li Lei's fierce eyes, instead of being afraid, he became excited.

With a feint, Kobe suddenly started, and his first step was very fast.

However, Li Lei had been prepared for a long time, put a little distance away, stared at Kobe with all his attention, and immediately moved sideways to block Kobe's footsteps.

But Kobe is Kobe after all, and then there is a smooth dribble behind his back, and he switches to the other side to break through.

Li Lei immediately moved sideways and stood in front of Kobe again.

Cutting off the opponent's breakthrough twice in a row, Li Lei's basic defensive skills were impeccable, and an ordinary opponent would die.

But Li Lei is now facing Kobe.

Kobe didn't pause at all, and immediately turned around.

His movements flowed smoothly, without the slightest pause, just like a dance, which caused a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene.

Li Lei continued to slide, relying on active steps to block Kobe.

Kobe played well.

Li Lei defended better.

"The sharpest spear in the NBA meets the strongest shield in the NBA!"

On the other side of the ocean, Director Zhang Weiping blurted out.

His eyes started to light up.

As a professional athlete who was born as a player of the Chinese men's national basketball team, he has seen more than ordinary people.

The offense and defense of Kobe and Li Lei are simply pleasing to the eye.

On the American side, Barkley couldn't help but said: "Kobe has played like this, and Stone can still defend it. No wonder the fans call him Stone Wall. This defense is too solid!"

But it's not over yet.

Kobe, who turned around without breaking the defense, immediately turned back.

Dream steps!

In the history of the NBA, there are many stars who spent $5 a week to learn footwork from Olajuwon, but only Kobe and Yao Ming really learned.

At this moment, the footsteps of dreams are blooming on the court like flowers!

Bryant finally got room to shoot.

His dazzling pace not only stunned the fans, but even the cameras couldn't keep up.

But if there is a close-up, you can clearly see that Kobe's pivot foot has never moved. This is a perfect dream footstep, and there is no violation.

This is the perfect combination of art and technology!

Then, Kobe took a step forward and took advantage of the opportunity to take off and make a shot.

"careful!"

Everyone was conquered by Kobe's technology, but Phil Jackson on the sidelines suddenly yelled.

It's Li Lei!
Li Lei didn't give up on defense, he chased Kobe and jumped into the sky like a rocket, and his terrifying wingspan gave Li Lei the possibility to block the shot.

Li Lei's hand is about to touch the basketball.

"not good!"

Los Angeles fans panicked.

What kind of defense is this?This can catch up, it's just a cheat!
However, at this moment, Kobe suddenly paused in the air.

"Basketball God" Michael Jordan's stunt: super long stay in the air.

Relying on the incomparably powerful core strength that he had practiced day and night, Kobe paused abruptly in the air, dodging Li Lei's block, then flicked his wrist and shot.

Swish!
37: 33.

"Hoohoho!"

The moment the goal was scored, the entire Staples Center exploded.

"God! What did I see, incredible!"

"Great number 23, Michael Jordan is back!"

"Kobe Bryant, active NBA No.1, unmatched, number one in the world."

"God wore number 24 tonight!"

……

This ball is really too difficult, and it is because of the difficulty that it is even more incredible after it is successful.

In the live studio, Barkley, Miller Sr., and Smith screamed at the same time.

Barkley was too heavy and didn't control it well. Leaning on the chair, he fell headlong and fell very embarrassingly.

But even so, Barkley was lying on the ground, still screaming strangely: "O! M! G! Who can stop Kobe? No one can stop Kobe! He is the strongest person in the NBA now!"

Kobe, who scored the goal, was also extremely excited. He frantically tore his jersey with his hands and kept roaring to the sky.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

……

On the side, Li Lei smiled helplessly.

There is no doubt that this goal can definitely enter the top five, top three, or even number one of Kobe's 50 career goals.

And whenever fans think of this ball, they will think of Li Lei.

Lee's best background board Lei!

Li Lei wanted to cry but had no tears: "My mother..."

Ten years later, a background emperor named Paul and George heaved a sigh of relief.

Paul George: "Thank you, old iron, I give you a thumbs up!"

On the CCTV side, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun forcibly held back... Well, they couldn't hold back applauding Kobe at all.

Because this ball is so beautiful, even if they stood behind Li Lei with a clear stand, they couldn't ignore the splendor of this ball itself.

cough cough...

But after calming down, the two were somewhat embarrassed.

Director Zhang Weiping forcibly argues, no!He justified: "Kobe played the ball very well, but we also have to thank the existence of Stone. If Stone's defense is not good enough, Kobe will not be able to force this ball."

Su Qun nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "That's right, that's right, just like in martial arts novels, it's meaningless for a hero to be invincible. There must be a big villain to set off..."

Having said that, Su Qun suddenly stopped.

villain...

How do you feel that you are talking about Li Lei.

Well, it's fine to give Kobe a thumbs up, but also to ridicule Li Lei as the big villain.

If Li Lei found out, he would vomit three liters of blood, what kind of pig teammate is this.

Director Zhang Weiping couldn't help but glared at Su Qun: If you can't speak, talk less, it's best not to talk.

Of course, the metaphor of Zhang Weiping and Su Qun is actually somewhat reasonable.

In a word: competition makes people progress!
If it was an ordinary player defending Kobe, Kobe could score easily, so how could it be so complicated.

It is precisely because Li Lei personally defended Kobe and gave Kobe unparalleled defensive pressure that Kobe scored such a magical goal.

……

Regardless, the game continues.

The Grizzlies attack.

Kobe defended Li Lei closely, provoking on purpose: "Last night, didn't you say you can beat me? Come on! Let me see how you beat me!"

Li Lei is a very sensible person, and he will never be fooled by this kind of pediatric aggressive method.

Who do you think I am?Lao Tzu's golf quotient and IQ are top-notch.

So Li Lei took the initiative to ask for the ball and yelled at Tyronn Lue, "Give me that damn ball!"

Still...he was fooled!
Kobe laughed!

Li Lei also knew that he had fallen into Kobe's trick by doing so.

But...he couldn't refuse!
Even if Kobe didn't provoke him, after the round just now, Li Lei couldn't bear it anymore.

After all, he is only 23 years old!

Who can hold back the young and passionate youth?

Seeing Li Lei taking the ball, Warrick, who was belatedly aware of it, came up to set Li Lei in a pick-and-roll.

Li Lei stretched out his left hand directly, making a gesture of "rejection".

One hit one!

It must be fought one by one!

And Li Lei's action also aroused the enthusiasm of the fans.

"Fuck! Kobe just hit Li Lei, and Li Lei is going to fight back!"

The Staples Center was in a state of restlessness, and it was completely restless.

Barkley threw himself in front of the big screen in a funny way, watched from zero distance, and was pulled away by the old Miller and Smith.

But this also fully reflects Barkley's great interest in the next game.

As for CCTV, Director Zhang Weiping and Su Qun clenched their fists.

"Stone, come on!"

On the sidelines of the court, the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, who has always loved to doze off, widened his eyes and didn't want to miss a second of the next round.

"Come on! Come on!"

Kobe spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity, leaned forward, clapped his hands, and continued to provoke and stimulate Li Lei.

Although Li Lei's blood boiled with enthusiasm, he did not lose his mind.

He first signaled his teammates to pull away before starting to attack.

Facing Kobe, Li Lei did not use his best three threats, but relied on Kobe and used the back frame technique.

Kobe put his arms on Li Lei's waist instead of resisting Li Lei with his chest.

Small defense is big, hard resistance is a big taboo.

Opponents can find a chance to make a move with just one turn.

From this point of view, Kobe's basic defensive skills are also extremely solid.

Even under physical pressure, Kobe didn't stop talking: "Hey, kid, who taught you your back-up technique? Hit me with my technique, you can't beat me!"

Li Lei didn't show weakness either: "Hehe! You must have never heard of a saying in my hometown: the blue comes from the blue, and the blue is better than the blue. There are not a few apprentices who kill the master."

Kobe: "Then try it!"

"Dry!"

With a roar, Li Lei suddenly exerted force and gouged in with all his strength.

Li Lei's strength and tonnage surpassed Kobe's, and he successfully repelled Kobe.

However, although Kobe retreated, he did not disrupt the defensive rhythm, but gave people a sense of order.

He is still firmly between Li Lei and the basket.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The sound of muscular collisions continued to be heard between the two, and they fought into a ball, approaching the basket.

But the further you went, the more confrontation Kobe gave, and Li Lei began to struggle.

Li Lei swiped his leg, keenly aware of Kobe's defensive position, and immediately turned around, speeding up and rushing in.

But at this moment, Kobe suddenly accelerated to move laterally, firmly blocked in front of Li Lei, and stretched out his knife to Li Lei's ball.

At this moment, Kobe smiled, as if to say again: "Little guy, use your legs to feel the opponent's defensive position, have you forgotten who taught you this?"

Good guy!
It turned out that the loophole just now was intentionally left by Kobe to Li Lei.

This is a trap.

Use your legs to feel the opponent's defensive position. This is what Jordan gave to Kobe, and Kobe taught it to Li Lei.

And now, Kobe uses this to design Li Lei.

Seeing that Kobe was about to capture Li Lei's dribble, Li Lei smiled.

He suddenly held up the basketball and dodged it.

Kobe, who jumped too hard, rushed past Li Lei in an instant.

Kobe: "..."

He knows my traps, so he will use his tricks?
of course!

If it was facing ordinary people, Li Lei really hit the ball just now.

But the opponent is Kobe.

What Li Lei thought of for a moment was: Kobe's basic skills are so solid, how could it be possible to expose such obvious loopholes?Absolutely a trap!
This is absolutely bragging!

In fact, there are so many changes on the court, Li Lei doesn't have time to think so much at all.

It's just that when he turned around just now, Li Lei instinctively felt that something was wrong. It was impossible for him to pass Kobe so easily, so he dodged subconsciously.

This is a crooked hit.

After Kobe rushed over, the unguarded basket became a little girl stripped naked.

No one can stop Li Lei.

Li Lei can... Hehehe!

Of course, he jumped up and clasped his hands heavily.

boom!
37: 35.

Li Lei successfully responded to Kobe.

Although his goals are not as magical as Kobe's, the magical 2 points are also 2 points, and Li Lei's 2 points are also 2 points. There is no difference in essence.

Moreover, Li Lei's dunk was simple and rude.

Others couldn't see the intrigue between Kobe and Li Lei, but felt that Li Lei's dunk was extremely explosive and the momentum was astonishing.

"Oh yeah! Great job!"

"Stone, well played, dunk on Kobe's head!"

"The stone is awesome!"

……

Li Lei's fans also enjoyed it very much.
