I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 110

In the next 3 minutes, Harden was just obsessed with singles, dribbling the ball alone, and then looking for opportunities to pull up and shoot, as if he was determined to show off in front of McGrady. Unfortunately, the posture is very beautiful. In the end, none of them turned into goals.

Show children are not show.

Instead, McGrady made 3 of 2 shots and scored 4 points under the pass of Arenas.

The reporters who watched uninterestingly on the sidelines generally gave Arenas their praise, "The general has indeed changed a lot. He not only knows how to sacrifice on the court, but also actively screens for his teammates. When he is off the ball , will run back or slip the bottom line, really very diligent and focused, and no longer the former "doing all kinds of evil, doing nothing" libertine."

With 7 minutes and 45 seconds left in this quarter, the main players of both sides returned to the court. Chu Xiao dribbled the ball and passed it to Kobe after halftime. Tester made a long shot at the buzzer in 5 seconds, extending his advantage to double digits.

In this game, Harden seemed determined to show off his skills. When he was off the ball, he stood there with his hips on his hips and did nothing. When the ball was in his hands, he kept dribbling and dribbling. Then look for opportunities to pull up and shoot. Except for hitting 2 shots in the first quarter, all 5 shots in this quarter were ironed.

Kobe scored 5 points in a row again, Lin Shuhao had to help Harden flank Kobe together, in fact, he was mainly defending hard.

In the end, Kobe was still Kobe.

He is unstoppable whether he hits the net with a fadeaway jumper or drives to the basket to cause a foul.

The price Lin Shuhao paid was his third foul and was replaced by Douglas.

"Boss, it's time for you to rest for a while." Chu Xiao pointed to Douglas who played with a smirk on his face, implying that he scored by single-playing him.

"I can't wait to see you. You really can bear it because of Lin Shuhao. No one is willing to fight anyone alone. In the end, I stand up and help. Fortunately, I fouled him, and I can finally take a breath." Kobe pretended to be angry. .

"So you made him foul on purpose?" Chu Xiao was surprised.

"Otherwise! Do you two keep eyeing each other? Hey, I can't bear it!" Kobe walked away.

"Haha..." Chu Xiao laughed out loud.

If Douglas could hear the conversation between the two, he would be able to figure out why Chu Xiao wanted to arrest him and torture him alone.

At 5 minutes and 01 seconds before the end of the second quarter, Chu Xiao sent a classic blow. After dribbling the ball across the half court, facing Douglas, who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs only 86 kilograms, he made a beautiful turn and cut in, speeding past to kill. Running to the penalty area, facing Asik who came out of the supplementary defense, he turned around and cut in again, and then flew dunk.

4 minutes and 42 seconds before the end, Chu Xiao dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and Douglas took a step back to prevent him from continuing to break through. As a result, Chu Xiao scored a 3-pointer after jumping up, and then made another mid-range shot under Gasol's pick-and-roll hit.

This goal can clearly show the embarrassment of the Rockets' defense. Douglas was blocked by Gasol's screen. After Asik switched defenses, he implemented the team's plan to retreat back to the penalty area, leaving Chu Xiao with two full steps to attack. Space, he used this space to succeed.

In the next 2 minutes, the Rockets tried to stick to their defensive strategy, which is to prevent sudden shots. This is a targeted defensive plan made when watching the game video before the game. After all, you can’t give up before the game just because the opponent made a few shots. deployment.

In this game, the Rockets did not dare to take Chu Xiao lightly, because it was this rookie who beat them at the Staples Center.

In the NBA, any player who is famous will be valued by his opponents, not to mention that the Rockets are still a team with rich defensive experience.

Before the game, the Rockets designed a defensive strategy against Chu Xiao through video analysis. Simply put, it was just five words, "Leave shots and don't let bursts."

After watching the video, the coaching staff and players think that Chu Xiao's most threatening offensive weapon is to break through and score the ball, because he has a teammate who is the king of long-range shots-Kobe Bryant.

This season, under Chu Xiao's support, Kobe played more and more easily. He no longer had to take care of everything like before. He only needed to find a suitable shooting position, and the ball would fly into his hands. Can.

This is the consequence of having a good point guard teammate. Kobe's shooting percentage has remained around 10% for the past 45 years, but so far this season, he has a 48.2% shooting percentage, which is close to 10%. highest value.For a scorer like him, such a shooting percentage is terrifying.

The reason why he can achieve such a shooting percentage at this stage of his career is mainly due to the fact that he has an extra Chu Xiao who can shoot and pass, especially under Nash's training, he has become a Control master.

This is why the owners of the entire league unite to ask the league to prevent Kobe from joining forces with Paul.At this time, Kobe made three finals and won two championships, only one step away from the second three consecutive championships and the sixth championship.Although the three consecutive championships have not been achieved, there is still a strong desire to win another championship.And Paul is still recognized as the number one point guard. No one scolded him for being dirty, and no one thought his contract was too big, but felt that with him he could determine the team's lower limit.His dribbling ability and field control ability are still higher than Chu Xiao's. In recent years, few people in the league can approach him. Although he is thin and small, he is still a solid line of defense on the defensive end.Although the personal ability is strong, the team record has never been able to break through, let alone the championship trophy.Needless to say how strong Paul's desire for the championship is.

If these two people stand together in the backcourt, it is a typical question of which cup to drink between two cups of poison.No one can stop it, so just defend it casually!
If the NBA allows it, how many championships can Paul and Kobe win if they join forces?There is no clear answer.But what is certain is that he will definitely win the championship.And the life trajectory of these two people must also change in the years to come.

Fortunately, Kobe has Chu Xiao by his side this season. Although his ability is a little weaker than Paul, it is enough. Even the Rockets have developed a special defensive strategy for him. They require players to focus on limiting breakthroughs. The specific implementation method It is one-on-one defense to keep a certain distance, and it is easy not to double-team when defending pick-and-rolls. After the big man changes defense, the first task is to retreat to protect the basket, rather than sticking up for close defense.

During most of the first and second quarters, Chu Xiao didn't force a breakthrough against Lin Shuhao, so this defensive strategy was not activated in a certain sense.

After Lin Shuhao fouled out, Douglas came off the bench, and when Chu Xiao started to exert his strength, this defensive strategy was finally activated.

However, Asik's retreat to protect the basket will leave space for Chu Xiao. His shooting ability is particularly solid, especially after Nash tied the rope to correct his shooting posture, he can shoot without missing a shot without defense. At the end of this section, a total of 6 of 6 shots scored 12 points, which completely disrupted the Rockets' defensive plan.

The Lakers also ended the first half with a 58-point lead 45-13.

During the halftime break, in order to give back to the large number of Chinese fans at the scene, Chu Xiao did not return to the locker room. Instead, he stayed on the sidelines to sign autographs and take photos for many fans in the front row. By the way, he saw an interesting scene.

The Kiss Camera was going on on the big screen in the stadium. The first couple was a gray-haired old couple who kissed very naturally in front of the camera.Then the photographer started to make jokes, such as capturing two strangers, or capturing two people of the same sex, but even so many fans would not refuse, after all, it was just a kiss.Of course, there were also those who refused, those who pretended not to see it, and those who buried their heads under their jackets under the booing of the audience, which is still very interesting.

And the most interesting scene is when a couple was captured, they had already finished kissing in front of the camera, but the big screen still locked them.When the audience and the girls felt that something was wrong, the actor took out the ring and knelt down to propose.The girl was so excited that she couldn't speak, and the audience also let out deafening cheers.In this situation, how could such a romantic proposal be refused.

Chu Xiao watched the whole process with a smile, thinking that the Toyota Center will definitely become a place to witness their love, and even every wedding anniversary in the future can be commemorated by a home game of the Rockets.

In the third quarter, the Rockets admitted that their defensive plan against Chu Xiao had failed, so they made adjustments during the intermission.The specific change is to strengthen the close-fitting press when defending one-on-one. When encountering a pick-and-roll switch, the big man must defend out, and Lin Shuhao, who was originally facing him, must quickly squeeze through the screen and form a pincer attack with his teammates.

Chu Xiao felt these changes as soon as he got the ball. He immediately saw his moves, broke through his close defense, and passed when he was double-teamed. Again, the Rockets were at a loss.

Throughout the third quarter, the Lakers continued to lead 83-73.

In the fourth quarter of the decisive game, the two teams came and went, and the Lakers could still maintain an 11-point lead.

But the turning point came when there were 3 minutes and 58 seconds before the end of the game. Kobe received a pass from Chu Xiao and entered the inside line. After he was in the air for a while and avoided Asik's block, he thought that no one was following him. , then stretched out his hand to send the ball into the basket, but he didn't expect Lin Shuhao to emerge from the slanting stab, and jumped up high to try to block it, but he didn't want to hit Kobe in the eye. The locker room handles it, and Meeks comes off the bench.

In Kobe's absence, the Rockets seemed to sense the momentum of chasing points. Harden, who made only 16 of 2 shots before, finally hit a pull-up three-pointer on Meeks' head. Go inside and draw a foul.

Parsons also felt hot. Facing Artest's defense, he made two three-pointers in a row. With 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the game, he teamed up with Harden to play a wave of 12-3, only 2 points behind!
The Lakers were forced to suspend.

"Kobe's eyes are completely swollen, his sight is blocked, and he will not return to the court. Chu Xiao, I ask you to stand up and score!" Zen master issued an order.

When Kobe was off the field, the Rockets had no scruples. When they saw Chu Xiao holding the ball, they sent two people to double-team. Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion, Lin Shuhao had to defend harder at this decisive moment and double-team him. The fiercest and hardest.

Chu Xiao understands this very well, and he no longer deliberately avoids confrontation with Lin Shuhao. If he should force a single, he will force a single, but before the coach speaks, he has to consider the teammates who are in the open when he is double-teamed, and then put The ball was passed, but unfortunately his teammates failed to grasp the opportunity and missed the shots frequently, which made the Rockets set off a wave of scoring climax.

Now that Zen Master has spoken, he can finally stand up and take over the game without any scruples.
