I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 177
After the start of the second half, both sides stepped up their siege and interception beyond the three-point line. The three-point confrontation between Chu Xiao and Curry came to an end for the time being, but their breakthroughs and points were contested again.

At the beginning of the game, Curry connected with Green to stage a 6-second blitz. Curry received the ball from the baseline. The power forward Draymond Green, who came off the bench, quickly rushed to the basket and stepped up after receiving Curry's pass across the half court. basket succeeded.

Chu Xiao did not show weakness. In the next round, he sent a lob pass to Gasol. Since Warcraft had 4 fouls, Gasol switched to the center position, and Odom replaced him as a power forward. The team opened up space, so Kobe quickly received an assist from Chu Xiao and made a three-pointer.

In the first two quarters, Kobe was willing to make way for "Sniper God", and soon swept the Lakers' 7 points. His scoring method was extremely simple. After receiving the pass from Chu Xiao, Kobe went forward. After a couple of dribbles, he hit a jumper with an emergency stop and scored 4 points in a row. On the third ball, the opponent thought he was going to continue with a jumper with an emergency stop, so he took the initiative to retreat and defend, but Kobe stood still and directly hit a three-pointer.

The Lakers quickly launched an 11-2 attack wave.

However, under Curry's scheduling, the Warriors quickly returned a small climax. First, Thompson got a rare open shot and hit a three-pointer.Then, Barnes made a dribble fake and knocked Artest down and made a jumper. David Lee also made a jumper inside.

Obviously, Curry has a strong ability to read the game. With his control at this stage, the Warriors went straight to 7-0.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the Warriors score or not. The important thing is that Barnes shouldn’t “bully” Artest, so Kobe couldn’t bear it, and wanted to give Artest a head start. After asking Chu Xiao for the ball, he came to Barnes on his own initiative. Barnes is playing singles in front of Bryant with his jersey in his mouth. Barnes has already prepared his defensive posture. The feint of the breakthrough was recovered immediately and stopped suddenly. Barnes had no time to stop, staggered and almost fell, and Thompson hadn't rushed over yet, so Kobe hit a jumper without haste, which was regarded as recovering for Artest. place.

Everyone thought that Kobe's "revenge" should be over. In fact, those who are really familiar with Kobe's character will know that there is more to this matter.

In the next round of offense, Kobe still took the initiative to ask for the ball. This time he came to Thompson, dribbled the ball with his jersey in his mouth as if he was about to break through, but told the opponent with sharp eyes, "I just helped my teammates get back the field. Do you want to help? Then you Let's get beaten together."

Klay Thompson is a player born in Los Angeles, California in 1990. He is the son of former NBA star Michael Thompson. He was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 2011th overall pick in the first round of the 11 NBA draft. A shooter who can back up opponents in the low post and has both wingspan and mobility on the defensive end. Together with teammate Curry, they are collectively known as the "Splash Brothers".

After all, this season is only Thompson's second season in the NBA. Although his offensive skills are relatively simple and he lacks the skillful ball handling like Stephen Curry, it is almost impossible to see Thompson dribbling-emergency stop-shooting in one go. , He can't play the role of a ball holder, he is more like a catch and shoot machine, so shooting is Klay Thompson's greatest value.

However, because Curry's offensive tasks are too heavy and his body is thin, Thompson is assigned more tasks on defense, often needing to defend three positions, including the opponent's scoring arrow.His defensive short board is lack of athletic ability, but he is very tenacious.

Kobe and Thompson, with a stubborn temper, vowed to get back the game for their teammates, and by the way, teach the younger generation, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, as tenacious as Xiaoqiang, and will not retreat if killed!

Following the "Sniper God vs. Biao" and "The Battle of the Number One Scholar", these two people staged a "battle for position" drama.

It's just that the disparity in victory and defeat is a bit big.

On the first ball, Kobe singled Thompson at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line. He pretended to make a breakthrough with a big stride. He was too close when defending, facing Kobe's emergency stop and couldn't hold back the momentum of retreating, he just sat down on the ground and watched Kobe hit a three-pointer without defense.

If Thompson took the opportunity to show his weakness, Kobe would no longer embarrass this junior, because the father of this junior, Michael Thompson, was a Lakers player. Thompson, who was born and grew up in Los Angeles, had deep feelings for the Lakers in his bones, and he also It's a "laker".

But Thompson didn't beg for mercy from the idol he grew up watching, but gritted his teeth and said, "Again!"

Kobe was a little surprised by his appearance and liked it, only to see Kobe smiled slightly, and the second singles began.

This time, Kobe held the ball at the top of the arc, and Chu Xiao and his teammates spread out wisely. Thompson defended Kobe one-on-one, and rejected Curry and others' offer to help defend.

So the classic scene reappeared. Kobe dribbled the ball from the right and broke in. Thompson was still close to the defense. Kobe didn't stop suddenly when he took the first step this time, which surprised Thompson. He took the second step and started to stop suddenly. At this time, due to the influence of inertia, Thompson ran forward three steps before he could stop his figure, but the distance between him and Kobe was instantly opened, and it was still too late to block the shot, but Kobe seemed to be waiting for him to pounce to block the shot, so the pace of take-off and shot was relatively slow. Just when Thompson thought he had time to come out to block the shot, Kobe suddenly sped up his shot and made a steady hit.

This kind of fast and slow rhythm made Thompson very uncomfortable. He almost fell to the ground because of the excessive force of the save, and fell to the ground.Fortunately, I was young and my body was flexible, so I supported my body with both hands when I threw myself on the ground.

But compared to the physical toss, he felt the discomfort of choking out a mouthful of old blood.

"How about it, continue?" Kobe asked him with a smile.

After Thompson stood up, he took a few deep breaths and nodded firmly, "Come again."

At this time, a bald middle-aged man with glasses sitting among the fans shook his head, and his face became a bit ugly. This man is Michael Thompson, Clay's father, and he was the No. 1978 pick in the 1986 NBA draft. , After being selected by the Portland Trail Blazers, he played for the Lakers from 1991 to 1987 and retired.He is not only the first non-American No. 1988 pick in NBA history, but also a member of the Lakers as an important rotation player during the "SHOW TIME" period in 1996 and [-] and helped the team win the NBA championship for two consecutive years. Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Cobra Worthy were teammates. At that time, the team had four top picks at the same time. Their lineup was also the same as the Bulls with Jordan, Pippen and Rodman in [-]. Called one of the greatest teams in history.

Therefore, after Michael Thompson retired, he has always regarded himself as a Laker, and raised his son to watch Lakers games since he was a child. He also took him to meet Kobe, O'Neal and others in the player tunnel, and asked him to follow Kobe. Learning the latter's skills and game attitude, I look forward to one day when my son enters the NBA, he can inherit his mantle and become a member of the Lakers and be a teammate with Kobe.But unfortunately, the Lakers only had a second-round pick in the 2011 NBA draft and selected Morris.

Thompson has nothing to do with the Lakers.

But this does not affect his love for the Lakers, love and familiarity with Kobe, and the old Thompson, who is also familiar with his son and Kobe's character, knows what the result of their bullfight will be, so he can't help shaking his head, but he Had to continue watching.

On the third ball, Kobe came to a 45-degree angle on the right, faced Thompson with a flexible footwork under his crotch, and easily passed the latter, dodged to the basket to face Bogut's block, and chose Reverse layup succeeded.

Fortunately, Kobe's speed was fast enough that Thompson didn't even have time to react, so he didn't continue to fall.

On the fourth ball, Kobe came to the top of the arc again and accelerated with a change of direction. Thompson first misjudged the direction and took the initiative to block to his left, but found that Kobe had changed direction and wanted to rush to his right before he could close the momentum. He stood alone on the side, but his legs were crossed together, and he fell straight to the ground like a wooden man.

"Wow!" Even the fans in the arena couldn't help applauding Kobe's record.

After Kobe scored a goal, he never forgot to say to himself, "The simplest is the best, this is it."

On the fifth ball, Kobe reached a 45-degree angle on the right again. This time Thompson did not rush to block the route, but stood in front of Kobe with his legs apart and waited for the opponent to make the first move. So Kobe chose to break through from the right after dribbling the ball under his crotch , Thompson saw that his body moved to the right, and when he was waiting for Kobe to stop suddenly, Kobe chose to continue to break through to the right. Thompson had to speed up his pace to catch up with the opponent, but saw Kobe stopped suddenly again, and then made a hit.And poor Thompson walked too fast, and retreated while stepping, so he couldn't hold back the momentum, backed up again and again, and finally sat down on the ground and slid back, sliding all the way out of the bottom line.

"Oh~" the fans let out a murderous voice.

Old Thompson didn't dare to look any more, fearing that the camera would capture his expression, so he buried his head.

"I didn't even touch you, and you fell down? Isn't this Pingci?" Kobe chose to go out of bounds after scoring the goal and pulled Thompson up from the ground. He patted his buttocks and said, "Are you okay? In fact, you have defended well, but your experience and strength are not enough. After this duel, I believe that next time I see you again, you will become even more terrifying."

He didn't hear the expected ridicule, but warm words of encouragement. Thompson couldn't help but get wet. He smiled and didn't say anything, but he secretly said in his heart that this was an "inspiring" experience, and I will never forget it. Will never forget.

The fans didn't know what Kobe and Thompson said, but they saw a great and wonderful performance, so the first MVP call of the audience was given to the visiting team's player-Kobe.

MVP! MVP! MVP!

After that, Kobe became "anti-customer-oriented". Every time he got the ball, he would attract restlessness and cheers from the fans.
