I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 154

In the 2010-11 season, the Wizards were lucky enough to get the No. 2011 pick in the draft. They selected John Wall from the University of Kentucky and traded Gilbert Arenas to the Magic in the middle of the 16.4 season.With JaVale McGee and Nick Young in the team both improved greatly, the top pick John Wall also won the Rookie of the Year Award that season with 8.3 points and 23 assists, but the ball The team's record did not improve, ending the season with 59 wins and [-] losses.

In the 2012-2013 season, Wall's strength on both ends of the offense and defense was obviously good, and his leadership temperament was gradually revealed, and he has become a new star that people pay attention to.

However, the team's record has been kept below 4 games for four consecutive seasons. In addition to the record, the bad atmosphere in the team is also a big problem. Before that, there was the "General" Arenas's gun incident, and later there was Bryant. Che, McGee and others made the locker room a mess.In a fit of rage, the management sent away all these problematic players. They resolutely used Wall as the core of the team and deployed Emeka Okafor and Nene Hilario on the inside. Bradley Beal was selected first, and then he signed a helper like Trevor Ariza. His spirit is different, and he has the strength to hit the playoffs, but the record is still not good. 26 wins and 3 losses, bottom of the Eastern Conference.

The starting lineup is: Wall, Bill, Ariza, Nene and Okafor.

So Wall said in an interview before the game, "You have to find the feeling of winning in the Lakers."

"Where does he get his confidence?" In the visiting team's locker room, Chu Xiao said looking at the TV screen.

"It should be because I heard that we have been in turmoil recently, and I think there is an opportunity to take advantage of it." Kobe said without raising his head.

Chu Xiao looked around and asked in a low voice, "Boss, will I pass the ball to Howard in the game later?"

Kobe raised his head and looked at Chu Xiao like an idiot, "What do you think?"

"But he ignored us, and pretended not to see us when we met. I'm not sure if it's the same on the court." Chu Xiao explained.

Kobe smiled when he heard the words, "This time I got awkward with Howard, it reminded me of that fat man, we ignored each other in the locker room, but on the court, no one has a tacit understanding with us, often only need a look or a movement We knew what the other side wanted to do, and we swept the league together in such a strange atmosphere and won the first three consecutive championships in the new century. So, don't worry that Warcraft will ignore your pass, we are all professional players, Just play how you want to play, because on the court and off the court are two different things."

"Boss, I understand." Chu Xiao nodded.

Before the game, Zen master arranged the tactics of the game, saying that John Wall is the engine and brain of the Wizards, and as long as his speed is pressed, the team can be stopped.

This important task naturally fell on Chu Xiao's head.

Zen Master also announced a message, "Odom has passed the clarification period, he will join the Lakers as a free agent, and will be with the team in Kobe's hometown on December 12 when the Lakers play the 16ers. Convergence in Philadelphia. Correspondingly, the team simultaneously terminated the contract with Ebanks, who will go to Europe to pan for gold."

The Lakers have frequently terminated contracts with players and renewed new ones this season. A series of moves naturally aroused dissatisfaction from other teams. Other owners wrote to the league one after another, saying that the Lakers were breaking the rules and had a bad start. Responses.

The league held a high-level meeting on this, and released four new policies a few days later, one of which is that all players must remain in the team lineup before February 4 every year, which means that no players are allowed. Termination behavior.

But that's all for later. The Lakers finally caught the last train and strengthened the required lineup before the implementation of the New Deal. After a closer look, each position has been adjusted to varying degrees, with internal and external balance. There are old, middle and young players. , the rest depends on whether they can produce a good chemical reaction, so that they can go further this season.

Point guard: Nash (true due to injury), Chu Xiao, Arenas, Du Hong.

Shooting guard: Kobe, McGrady, Meeks.

Small forwards: Artest, Clark.

Power Forward: Gasol, Jamison, Odom.

Center: Howard, Thackeray.

The current home court of the Wizards is the MCI Center Arena, which opened in 1997 and can accommodate 20674 spectators, making it the third largest arena in the league.It is also home to the NHL's Washington Capitals and the WNBA's Washington Mystics.Because it is located in the capital, the design of the museum shows everyone's demeanor. The large screen in the center of the venue is controlled by the SVS system using LED technology. The screen has super high brightness and clarity; There are many, and the decoration is quite luxurious.

The team emblem is circular, with a basketball pattern in the middle, and the circular arrangement of "WASHINGTON" and "WIZARDS" on the top and bottom.

The mascot is a wizard, and his hobby is performing magic tricks, playing fools, joking around with people of all ages, and pulling off some fascinating and super-spectacular dunks, like a mid-air somersault reverse 360-degree back dunk.

In the first quarter of the game, Warcraft and Nene Hilario jumped the ball.Nene is a Brazilian male basketball player who plays power forward or center. He was selected by the New York Knicks in 2002 and played for the Denver Nuggets and Wizards successively. He is nicknamed "Brazilian King".He is a strong and fast big man who is good at running, passes well, can shoot and finish offenses, and was named to the 2002-03 All-Rookie Team.

After Warcraft got the ball, he allocated it to Artest who was closest to him. The latter held the ball and moved it forward along the sideline. Chu Xiao ran to the top of the arc without the ball, and then received the pass from Artest. When he was considering whether to make a breakthrough, he caught a glimpse of Warcraft standing under the basket from the corner of his eye, and Nene, who was marking him, was blocked behind him. He didn't hesitate and sent a scalpel-style direct pass.

Warcraft obviously hesitated for a second after receiving the ball. He didn't expect that there would be a chance to score at the beginning of the game, and it was Chu Xiao who passed directly to the basket without hesitation. 2-0.

However, Warcraft did not wave to Chu Xiao after scoring the goal. Both of them lowered their heads and threw themselves into the defense. Apart from the grudges in their hearts, the Wizards also sent the ball at the fastest speed, and they could not tolerate any of them. slack.

I saw that after Nene kicked the ball from the baseline, Wall received the ball and accelerated forward with all his strength. At that time, the Lakers had just scored a goal, and everyone was still in the half court. No one thought that the opponent started to pass the ball in seconds , The key is that Wall's teammates also stayed in the half court, and everyone was still slowly retreating. No one stepped forward to defend closely at the beginning of the game, so the first famous scene of the game came.

Wall held the ball and ran at full speed without hindrance. He passed the crowd and reached the first half in a flash. He came to the basket in an instant, jumped up and dunked, and made a successful hit.

In this round, it can be said that 10 out of 9 people on the field are watching the show, and only Wall is left chasing the wind.

How fast is Wall's speed? The measured 10-meter speed is 3 seconds, but this time the offense took less than 3 seconds from receiving the ball in the backcourt to scoring in the frontcourt. To be precise, it was 2.4 seconds. This may be the limit speed on the basketball court, and everyone is shocked.

"Quick! Really fast! I just think he scored with just one swipe in front of him." Although Chu Xiao carefully watched the video of Wall's game before the game, the video was not as intuitive as the reality after all. He had already estimated Wall's speed in his heart. , but I didn't expect it to be too little. I knew he was fast, but I didn't know that he could be that fast!

"The only thing in martial arts in the world is speed, and it's the same on the basketball court." Kobe said after hearing the words, "You have to find a way to make him unable to run."

Chu Xiao didn't have the windy speed of Wall, and couldn't play a fast break with one man holding the ball and nine players watching a play. One-to-one defense, first he dribbled the ball from the crotch to the back, so that Wall was not sure which direction he was going to attack from, and then suddenly accelerated from the right to break through, passed Wall in an instant, and made a jumper with an emergency stop.

The analysis report given by the scouts is indeed correct. John Wall is an extremely talented point guard with both height, wingspan, speed and jumping. His greatest advantage lies in holding the ball forward. Once he uses his speed to control the whole court , Either shoot by himself or pass to a teammate in the open, which will make the opponent a headache, and the main reason for his excellence is his speed.However, it is precisely because of his over-reliance on speed that he often relies on speed to keep up with his opponents when defending, but his defensive skills and awareness still need to be improved.This allowed Chu Xiao to easily get rid of him by relying on weird changes in direction, sudden changes in pace, and cross-handed dribbling, and then scored.

Although Chu Xiao can easily break through Wall's defense on offense, this does not mean that he can limit the opponent's offense. In fact, Wall frequently used his speed advantage to try to bring down the Lakers and let the Wizards attack like a tide. .As for the defense, I just stand in front of Chu Xiao symbolically, and don’t let go of the shot. If I break through, I will hand it over to my teammates to make up the defense. Ariza, a former champion member of the Lakers, went to limit Kobe, and insider Okafor and Nene fought Warcraft and Gasol.

Chu Xiao of the Lakers organized an offense. He looked up at his teammates on the field. The four big men inside were already entangled together. Their muscles and clubs were intertwined. They couldn't pass the ball for the time being. Kobe and Ariza were standing on the left three-point line. Besides, they were talking and laughing, Kobe was talking, the latter was listening, and the latter was standing bent over, nodding his head from time to time to express his agreement, just like a little brother, but one of his hands was already quietly clenched. Holding Kobe's jersey, he will make pulling movements at any time.
