I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 156 No suspense and two major suspense

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Wall's position was still within the three-point line. Chu Xiao still shot when he was one step away from the three-point line, and then made a super-long three-pointer!

Looking back, when Wall quickly went to catch the serve, all the Lakers speeded up their return to defense. This time, all of them were successfully placed when Wall dribbled to the center line-this was specially arranged for Wall. Come out of the zone defense.

Zone defense, as the name suggests, means joint defense.It is divided into position zone defense and counterpoint zone defense. If it is combined with man marking, it can also be transformed into a mixed defense. The biggest difference between zone defense and man marking is that man marking is the ultimate goal of defending people, while zone defense is the ultimate goal of defending the ball.

Using it on Wall is to cut off his breakthrough and passing routes, and give him space to shoot.

Therefore, zone defense is divided into full-court zone press, half-court zone press, and three-quarters zone press. The Lakers chose three-quarters zone press. The distance is close, it is easy to cooperate with each other, control the basket, it is conducive to grabbing rebounds and launching fast breaks; the disadvantage is that the frontal area outside the three-point line is a weak area for defense, if Wall has Ray Allen and Stephen Curry With excellent three-point ability, he can shoot three-pointers in the front without any scruples.

It's a pity that Wall at this time has not yet developed a stable three-pointer ability.In the 2011-12 season, he took a total of 42 shots from beyond the three-point line and only hit 3 goals.

He can only continue to seek breakthroughs, even if he is facing a zone defense.

Next, I saw Wall crashing into a spider web like a bee, trying his best to break through the spider web, scissors step, back circling the ball and other stunts all came out, but no matter which direction he broke through, someone would come out to block him in advance , drove him back in front of Chu Xiao, forcing him to shoot a three-pointer or pass the ball.

But the more this is the case, the more reluctant Wall is to pass the ball. There are two reasons. One is that his speed breakthrough ability is super giant. If he encounters some difficulties, he will surrender. up.The second is that as the leader of the team, I often compete with myself, that is, I have to stand up and score, even if a person holds the ball and keeps rushing toward the opponent's interior, there will always be a chance to get a few free throws from the referee Let's alleviate the scoring shortage... This is the temperament that a leader should have, not admitting defeat!
As a result, the more Wall struggled to free himself, the more the spider webs entangled him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Because his advantage lies in advancing with the ball, once he can't run, his efficiency will drop sharply.

Therefore, in the second half of the second quarter, Wall even disappeared from the field.

However, the mood of the fans at the home court of the Wizards was pushed to a climax little by little, and finally turned into thunderous cheers and applause from the audience.

All of this stems from the fact that Chu Xiao's three-pointers are gradually shining.

At 7 minutes and 32 seconds of the second quarter, Chu Xiao dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and when he was two steps away from the three-point line, he raised his hand and shot, hitting the third three-pointer of this quarter.

At 6 minutes and 41 seconds of the second quarter, facing Wall who was flying out, Chu Xiao dribbled the ball, moved sideways to avoid him, and then hit the fourth three-pointer with a jumper.

At 5 minutes and 06 seconds of the second quarter, Gasol got an open shot under the pick-and-roll, and made a hollow three-pointer again.

At 4 minutes and 12 seconds of the second quarter, another ultra-long three-pointer hit two steps away from the three-point line.

At 2 minutes and 42 seconds of the second quarter, Chu Xiao tried to shoot after halftime. Before the shot, the shape of the hand was very good. After the shot, the wrist looked beautiful and confident. More importantly, the coherence of the movement was very good... However, after the basketball drew a beautiful arc, it hit the edge of the basket, which attracted a sigh of pity from the fans. The performance of the home fans seemed to be a bit rebellious.

At 1 minute and 34 seconds of the second quarter, the Wizards missed a shot. Warcraft grabbed the rebound and quickly passed it to Chu Xiao to launch a fast break. The latter hit a chasing three-pointer. Nash and McGrady on the bench were very excited. Standing up and dancing to celebrate, the fans of the Wizards shouted excitedly together. This is Chu Xiao's seventh three-pointer in a single quarter!
However, the magic continued. With 30 seconds left before the end of this section, Chu Xiao broke through Wall's defense, dribbled all the way to the basket, and faced Nene and Okafor's siege, intercepted and missed a layup. , the rebound was picked up by Gasol who arrived later with his long arms. Chu Xiao quickly ran to the corner to ambush, and Gasol passed the ball after seeing it.

No one was defending, Chu Xiao adjusted his posture after receiving the ball, as if he had practiced countless times, he shot steadily and made a hollow hit!The 8th three-pointer!

Many people may not know that in NBA games, the number of three-pointers made in each quarter has the highest record.The highest record of three-pointers in the first quarter is 8, and the highest record in the second quarter is 7. It was created by the 04 talent show Ben Gordon. In a game between the 76ers and the Pistons, Gordon made a three-pointer 7 of 7 shots, 100% hit rate, it is unbelievable.The highest record in the third quarter is 9, and the highest record in the fourth quarter is 8, created by the Bucks star Reid.In the Bucks' game against the Rockets, Reed showed his best performance as a marksman in that game. He made 13 of 9 shots throughout the fourth quarter, including 12 of 8 three-pointers. It was 66.7%, and finally led the team to a big victory over the Rockets.

In this game, Chu Xiao hit 8 three-pointers in the second quarter, with a hit rate of 88.9%. It can be said that he broke the second quarter record held by Ben Gordon and created a new record!

The enthusiasm of the fans was completely ignited, and they all stood up from their seats and applauded endlessly.

Throughout the second quarter, Chu Xiao made 9 of 8 three-pointers, plus a dunk and two free throws. He scored 28 points and turned the away game into a home game.

Relying on his superb performance of almost one shot at a hundred shots with his eight-fold sniper, the Lakers scored 40-22 in the second quarter.

After halftime, the two sides battled to 67-54.Chu Xiao scored 32 points in the first half, becoming one of the most powerful rookies in the past five years.Bryant scored 5 points on 7-of-5 shooting.The Wizards' Wall still scored 13 points thanks to his brave performance in the first quarter, while Chu Xiao's fellow rookie Bill was a bit bleak in comparison. He was the third overall pick in the first round of the draft, and he only took 14 shots. His shooting percentage is also extremely poor, and he only scored 3 points. Judging from his current performance, what he has to compete for this season is not the best rookie, but how to get the support of the coach and the recognition of his teammates through his performance on the court.

Looking at the current rookie players, the No. 9 pick Anthony Davis has not fulfilled his talent for a long time. The No. 5.8 Michael Kidd-Gilchrist averaged 24 points and 6 rebounds per game. After the first game, it is clear who will be the best rookie of the year, and it will be between Damian Lillard with the 21th pick and Chu Xiao with the [-]st pick.

The reason why there is still final suspense is because Lillard is already the leader of the Trail Blazers. Although he currently averages only 19 points per game, he has enough playing time and possession to continue to improve his personal data.

Although Chu Xiao's offensive and organizational skills can no longer be described as a potential new star, he is as mature as an old player for many years. As long as he is on the court, the Lakers' offense is very organized, and the current average points and assists per game are close to 20+10. , This is a stat that can only be played by a super point guard.However, after all, Chu Xiao became the starting player when Nash was injured. After Nash returns from injury, it is hard to say whether he can still retain the starting position?Once the starter is lost, the playing time and ball possession will drop sharply, and the average data per game will also drop synchronously. At that time, he may fall behind in the competition with Lillard.What can't be ignored is that even if Chu Xiao sits firmly in the starting position, the boss of this team will always be Kobe. As long as the Lakers are in a stalemate or at a critical moment, the ball will be given to Kobe and he will be the leader. Take over the game.

This required Chu Xiao to become more confident on the offensive end and perform more explosive performances in order to conquer the judges.

But as far as this game is concerned, Chu Xiao's performance in the first half was already eye-catching enough, and the media all turned their attention to this. They wanted to know what Chu Xiao's final score would be?Also, will he break the record for three-pointers made in a single game?

In the NBA, if you want to say whose rookie season is the craziest, then it is definitely the "ancient beast" Chamberlain. As a data monster, Chamberlain scored 58 points, 42 rebounds, and two statistics in one game during his rookie season. Both rank first in history.What's even more exaggerated is that Chamberlain scored 50+ points more than once in his rookie season.

If Chu Xiao wants to break the record of "Ancient Beast", he still needs to score 26 points in the second half. Unless the Wizards do not change their defensive strategy in the second half, it will still be very difficult to break the record.Because since Chamberlain, there are only a few players who can score 50+ in their rookie season.

而最近的一场出色表现，还是雄鹿队球员布兰顿·詹宁斯。詹宁斯在2009年NBA选秀大会上，以第一轮第10顺位被雄鹿队选中。2009年11月16日，詹宁斯砍下生涯最高的55分，其中第三节单节得到29分。凭借这场比赛，他创造了多项记录：成为NBA历史上最年轻的得分超过50分的新秀、NBA历史上单节得分最多的新秀（29分）、雄鹿队史单场得分最高的新秀。最终雄鹿队以129-125战胜勇士队。他也当选了东部月最佳新秀和NBA全明星新秀赛。

In fact, compared to the highest scoring record for a rookie, the most difficult thing to break is actually the record for three-pointers made in a single game.

At present, the NBA record for the most three-pointers in a single game is 12, respectively held by Donyell Marshall and Kobe Bryant.

On January 2003, 1, when the Lakers played against the Sonics (predecessor of the Thunder) led by Gary Payton, Kobe made 8 three-pointers in the game. He only took 12 shots and his shooting percentage was as high as 18%. efficient.This is also the first player to achieve 66.7 three-pointers in a single game since there are data records in NBA history. However, Kobe did not score very high in this game. times, so only got 12 points.

In this game, Kobe had a wonderful moment when he made 5 consecutive three-pointers. "It's probably the greatest streak I've ever seen in my life," said Lakers coach Phil Jackson at the time.

However, Kobe's record did not last long alone. In the 2004-05 season, a power forward named Donyell Marshall tied this record. On March 2005, 3, when the Raptors played against the 14ers at home, Marshall played 76 minutes as a substitute and made 28 of 22 shots, including 13 of 19 three-pointers and no free throws. He scored 12 points and 38 rebounds to help the Raptors The team defeated the 10ers. Iverson scored 76 points in this game but was unable to recover.
