I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 141 Just give up the treatment

Before the game, Irving put on Kobe Bryant's second-generation sneakers, put on the laces carefully, and then tied them hard. This is the first time in his career that he has met Kobe in a game. He must give full play to his energy.

After the start of the game, the Cavaliers had the ball. After receiving the basketball from teammate Varejao, Irving went all the way to the three-point line. Facing Du Hong, who replaced Chu Xiao in the starting lineup, he decided to fight his opponent one-on-one.

He dribbled the ball to a position at a 45-degree angle, continuously dribbled the ball under the crotch to test the opponent's defensive center of gravity, first pretended to break through to the left front, then pulled the ball back to the right and broke through, tricking Du Hong into taking an extra step towards the right front To block.

In fact, these two breakthroughs were false moves. Seeing that Du Hong was taken a step further by his own dribble, Owen decisively turned around and made a jumper and hit a 2-pointer.

Kobe ran over and encouraged, "Child, the technique is very delicate, not bad!"

Facing the hero's praise, Owen just stood there giggling.

Kobe immediately turned him into a wry smile, "It's because Du Hong defends so well and scores so well. If Chu Xiao was standing there, he would never be easily swayed by you."

"Yeah, it's a pity that he's been suspended and can't compete properly." Owen said with a little regret. When he ran back to defend, he still waved to Chu Xiao who was sitting on the bench watching the game.

On the side of the Lakers, Duhon dribbled the ball and looked for Kobe after halftime. The latter used his waist to resist Waiters who was defending him and received the ball. With his left foot as the axis, he took two steps left and right with his right foot and tried Waiters. The center of gravity of the defense, the shoulder made a shaking fake, which made Waiters stunned for a moment, Kobe turned around and made a jumper, which also hit.

Seeing this, Owen immediately ran over, "How can you try to find the center of gravity without dribbling?"

Kobe never hides his secrets on the court, not to mention facing this young man who has a close relationship with him, he patiently explained, "As long as your tentative steps are realistic enough, you can deceive the defender with one step, and you can stick out the opponent with your waist." The strength of the tilt angle, in this case can be a jumper or a drive."

"I've always wanted to learn your tentative steps, but I can't learn the essence through videos." Owen opened his hands and discussed.

"Fool, go and catch the ball, it will take 5 seconds!" Kobe pushed him away helplessly, and said at the same time, "I will teach you when I have the opportunity to match up."

"Okay!" Irving took the ball from his teammate who looked unhappy, and then moved forward quickly. This time, he made a bow to Buddha first, and after attracting Du Hong to the left, he directly passed the ball from the right. After wiping the past, he kept breaking into the basket and jumping all the way. After finding that Howard and Gasol jumped up to block himself, he passed the ball through the gap. Varejao caught the ball and dunked, 4- 2.

In the next round, Kobe still singled Waiters. Irving stood aside and witnessed him use the tentative step. He didn't even notice that he missed someone. In fact, Kobe could pass the ball to Duhon who was open, but seeing Irving's face Looking thirsty for knowledge, he couldn't help but shook his head and continued to single Waiters.

He used one foot as the axis and one foot to test. Waiters knew that he was going to do it, but he was still shaken. Kobe continued to turn around and hit a jumper. 4-4.

For most of the rest of the first quarter, as long as Kobe was attacking with the ball, Chu Xiao, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, could see a very interesting scene, that is, Kobe singled Waiters with a tentative step, and Owen stood not far away. Watching obsessively, unwilling to miss every movement.

Every time after playing, Kobe would take the opportunity of passing him and say a few words.

As far as the first quarter of the game is concerned, it has completely become a game where Kobe personally showed up to teach the trial steps.

The coach of the Cavaliers at this time was Byron Scott. He had been teammates with Kobe in the 1996-97 season. When defending, he just shook his head and smiled, not paying attention.

Kobe told Irving after playing Waiters for the first time in singles, "After getting the ball first, turn around and face the basket, and at the same time pay attention to where the defender is."

"OK, I can do this." Owen said, "No accidents are usually in front or left and right."

"That's right!"

When Kobe singled Waiters for the second time, he ran towards Irving, "Have you noticed, the second thing is to put the ball in a position that is not a classic three-threat, so that it is not hindered when breaking through for a layup, and you must watch closely The posture of the defender, and the way he predicts his thoughts."

Owen nodded repeatedly when he heard the words.

Looking back, Irving assisted teammate Miles to hit two three-pointers one after another.

Although Kobe was teaching while playing, his assists and scoring were not delayed at all. First he assisted Artest to hit a three-pointer, and then he attracted double-teams to assist Warcraft alley-oop.

Since then, the Lakers have successively attacked several times, and Howard failed to get to the inside position again, but Warcraft did not give up, and still fought with Varejao inside.

At the last moment of this quarter, Kobe can only play singles. He said while dribbling, "The last thing is to start testing with the defensive player. Take a step forward sideways. The defensive player will retreat or move according to the rhythm. At this time, change Strategy, one more trial step, at this time the defensive player’s rhythm will be disrupted, and they can quickly stop, pull up, and shoot. This is the most difficult step of the trial step, but also the most critical step.”

As soon as the words fell, Kobe got up to shoot and made a steady hit.

While he was talking, Waiters was also listening in, knowing Kobe was taking the probe step, and knowing that Kobe was going to shoot after the probe, but he was still swayed away and could only look back to watch the ball go into the basket , both helpless and amazed.

"I spent a lot of time practicing this action, but the efficiency is also very high, and I am very comfortable when shooting. In short, the effort is effortless. I hope you can use it well in the next two years." Kobe finally said to Owen has high hopes.

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe made consecutive high-difficulty jump shots with tentative steps, plus foul free throws, and scored 6 points on 5 of 12 shots in a single quarter, helping the Lakers lead 29-23.

Irving's main energy was studying, but he also scored 5 points on 4 of 8 shots, but sent 4 assists.

"Okay, it's time to teach, and then it's time to teach you a good lesson." Kobe said to Irving before the start of the second quarter.

"Just taught me a trick." Owen seemed dissatisfied.

"Stinky boy, be careful not to chew too much." Kobe pretended to be angry.

"Hey, that's what I said, and I won't be polite in the future. Let's see who can have the last laugh." Irving bravely faced Kobe's challenge.

In the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead in attacking. Duhon glanced inside and passed the ball to Kobe again.After the last game, Howard complained in front of the media that he lacked possession of the ball, and privately said to Duhon, "You are the starting point guard now, give me the ball if you have the chance!"

"Okay." Du Hong nodded in agreement.

But when it came to the game, it wasn't that Du Hong didn't listen to him, or that the Lakers didn't give him a chance, but that the monster, whose physical fitness exploded, fought endlessly with Cavaliers insider Varejao at the beginning of the game, and he didn't even get the upper hand.

Anderson Varejao is a Brazilian male basketball player who serves as a power forward and a center. He is nicknamed "Brazilian actor". Tough and never tireless, because he is good at performing flops in the game and making offensive fouls from opponents, this is the reason why he can always maintain a high level of vitality.

When he entangled Warcraft, he became one with the latter, making the latter have no position to receive the ball.

That's why Du Hong repeatedly gave up passing the ball to him, and he lacked the ability to attack independently, so he had to pass the ball to Kobe, and Kobe would distribute the ball.

When Chu Xiao was not on the court, Kobe could only be a father and a mother at the same time. He first approached Irving with the ball, and played with the champion by turning his back and leaning back.

Conversely, Irving also wanted to single-handedly beat Kobe once, but was followed closely by Du Hong, and he couldn't find a chance for misplacement, so he unceremoniously accepted the scoring opportunity.First, he broke through to the inside of the Lakers like a snake. Facing the left and right pincers of Gasol and Howard, he made a successful breakthrough from the middle of the two and then made an easy layup.

Then he hit a three-pointer against Du Hong's defense, leading the team to play a wave of 8-2 attacks, tying the score: 31-31.

Kobe could have continued to rely on his excellent personal ability to continue to bite the score, but he was a little furious when he saw Howard and Varejao fighting meaninglessly in the interior, thinking that since you can’t get stuck in the interior, come out and look for opportunities Ah, the tree moves the dead and the dead move, why does Warcraft like to stay under the basket so much after returning from injury?Are you afraid that you will be tired if you run a step longer?Or just stand on the inside with open hands and wait for the ball to be fed?
"Howard, you come out to pick and roll!" Kobe shouted out this time, just to prevent Warcraft from pretending not to see.

After being called, Warcraft ran up to cover angrily, Kobe took advantage of the situation and cut to the basket, and Gasol also followed up in good time. Seeing Varejao and Thompson standing up to block the block, Kobe passed the ball behind him without looking at anyone. The scored Gasol received the ball and dunked the ball in a single round.

But then the Cavaliers began to run from the outside, Myers and Irving hit a three-pointer on the left and right sides respectively.

And Kobe continued to ask Warcraft to come out to cover. After he broke into the inside to attract double-teams, his eyes signaled Warcraft to go down quickly, and then sent the ball to the opponent.

This time Warcraft finally got the basketball, and there was no defense in front of him. He could have stood up and dunked, but Warcraft paused for a while. After Varejao defended, he used the footsteps of the back turn to single him. The result was that the two They fought again, and in the end even the ball was cut off by Thompson, who sneaked over to help defend.

"Why, you want to get back on me, so you can get angry?" Varejao teased, "Think~too~too much!"

The monster was furious, and directly pushed the opponent hard, and Varejao fell down.

The referee blew Warcraft a technical foul.

The Cavaliers overtook the score with one free throw.

"Howard, what the hell are you doing? Are you crazy about showing off your skills?" Kobe really couldn't stand this guy who recovered from his shoulder injury, but his brain became abnormal again.

"I want you to take care of it!" Warcraft couldn't help but retorted.

"OK, OK, just give up the treatment." Kobe turned around and left.

　I wish you all a happy new year and all the best!
