I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 184
Because of Kobe's full dedication on the defensive end, Chu Xiao can attack without any scruples and display his talents, and the more he plays, the more excited he becomes.

With 2 minutes and 22 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, Kidd of the Knicks intercepted the pass due to a failed pass from the Lakers. He immediately passed to JR Smith to launch a fast break. Chu Xiao, who was at the top of the arc, immediately He turned around and chased JR madly, but he didn't attract JR's attention, because the latter had played in the CBA for a year and knew that most Asians were not particularly strong in physical fitness, so he didn't even look back at Chu Xiao's position. Only the basket is in sight.

When he reached the basket and took off to dunk, he suddenly felt black on the top of his head. Chu Xiao came first and jumped up. When he was still in the air, he directly patted the basketball in JR's hand. Backboard, and then grabbed it again.And this series of actions were completed in the blink of an eye, so frightened that there was a moment of silence on the sidelines.

It was through this ball that people seemed to get to know Chu Xiao again, and found that he not only has outstanding singles ability, can pass suddenly, but also has a super long three-pointer, he also has explosive jumping ability, maybe from now on, he can fly Good at dancing will be his new pronoun.

Not only did he make everyone in the league remember him with this block, but he also quickly received an invitation to the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, and at the same time, he also received an invitation to the three-point contest!
The slam dunk contest is an important event of the NBA All-Star Weekend. It has been established since 1984 and is usually held on the Saturday of the All-Star Weekend.Participating players are generally invited by the league and participate after the players agree.Of course, there are exceptions. In the 2009 dunk contest, an extra spot was reserved for rookies. The rookies who signed up must vote for the final participant through online fans.In the end, Ferrandez overwhelmed Alexander and Westbrook to catch the last train.

In the previous competition system, each player dunked three times in the first round, and the three players with the highest total points advanced to the final, and the player with the highest score could play last in the final.In the final stage, each player will dunk twice, and the one with the highest score will be the champion. On February 2012, 2, in the latest slam dunk contest rules announced by the NBA, the 17 NBA Slam Dunk Contest only had one round of competition, not several rounds as before.Every player participating in the slam dunk contest will have the opportunity to perform three dunks. After all the players have performed three dunks, the game will end, and then the fans will score through the official NBA website, Twitter or mobile phone information, and the final result will be determined Ranking and the final champion.

Many superstars in history have participated in the slam dunk contest. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Warcraft Howard and others have all won the slam dunk contest. Among them, Kobe created the youngest slam dunk champion at the age of 19. T. Robinson is only 1.75 meters tall and is the shortest dunk king in history.

The three-point contest is also one of the events of the NBA All-Star Weekend. It has been established since 1986 and is usually held on the Saturday of the All-Star Weekend.Under normal circumstances, it is divided into two rounds, and each player has one chance in each round.The top three players in the first round advance to the finals.The second round will be played in the same format as the first round.In the event of the same score in the final, there will be an extra match until the ranking is determined.The player with the most points in 1 minute is the winner.

Many great shooters in history have participated, Larry Bird, Ray Allen, Peja Stojakovic, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Kevin Love have all won In the 1990 three-point contest, he only scored 5 points.

Of course, the above is just a digression. After Chu Xiao sent a flying cap to JR and grabbed the rebound, he directly counterattacked with a long pass to connect with Warcraft. Defensively, he grinned happily and showed a two-handed dunk, which attracted cheers from the fans, and the Lakers regained a 2-point lead.

Then the Knicks missed a shot, and Warcraft grabbed the rebound and found Chu Xiao in the crowd like a reward. The latter rushed to the frontcourt quickly, facing Chandler who had not yet stood still, and made a foul with a layup. .

When he walked to the free throw line, someone in the Staples Center Arena even yelled for MVP. You know, this is Los Angeles. The only active player who can enjoy this kind of treatment in the Staples Center is Kobe. That's all.

However, Chu Xiao's performance in the second quarter turned the team from being behind by 6 points to leading by 2 points, and he indeed deserved such a courtesy.

Just when he was executing the free throw, there was an episode at the scene. Although he hit the first free throw, he told the referee that the basket was crooked before the second free throw. At this time, Kobe and Gasol also came over The referee signaled that the basket was tilted obviously. The referee looked at it and found that the basket was crooked. He quickly retrieved the replay. Judging from the slow-motion playback, it was the dunk of Warcraft in the previous round that caused the basket to tilt.

The game was forced to be interrupted, and the on-site staff carried out emergency repairs. It took nearly 10 minutes to finally adjust the basket, and the game could continue.

"How did you find out that the basket was wrong?" While waiting for the game to start, Kobe once teased Chu Xiao, saying that he even "complained" that Warcraft dunked the basket crookedly.

"The same thing, when you do it to the extreme, you can really find the difference in the subtleties." Chu Xiao returned to him exactly what Kobe said back then.

"Oh, that's what I said in 2009!" Kobe immediately discovered.

In the 2009 regular season, the Lakers played against the Bobcats. Before the game started, the rookie player of the Bobcats, Huntson, arrived at the stadium ahead of time to warm up. He thought he was the first to arrive, but when he entered the stadium, he saw that the warm-up had been completed. Kobe ready to shoot.

Because of his inexperience, Henderson didn't dare to bother Bryant, but he could see Bryant shooting and hear him speak.At this time, an interesting thing happened. After missing more than a dozen consecutive shots, Kobe walked to the staff around Henderson.Kobe's words made Henderson and the staff feel incredible. Kobe told them, "There is a problem with this basket, which is about 0.6 centimeters lower."

Although it was Kobe who spoke, his words made the staff feel ridiculous. The staff told Kobe, "The basket has been measured and is standard, and it is absolutely impossible to be lower."

But the stubborn Kobe insisted that there was a problem with the basket and asked the staff to find a ruler.After some measurements, Henderson and the staff were completely convinced. Yes, Kobe was right, the basket was indeed 0.63 centimeters lower.

After more than a dozen shots, such a small difference can be found. Kobe's perception of basketball has to be admired.

Why was Kobe able to find that the basket was 0.63 centimeters lower?In fact, for an excellent player like Kobe, after countless shooting trainings, his shooting movements have formed muscle memory. It can be said that without defense or training, their shooting percentage basically exceeds 8%, such as Curry's three-point shooting is often able to reach the level of 100 of 90 shots.And Kobe didn't make any changes in his shooting movements, but he couldn't make a shot. The result can only be one-the problem is on the basket.

Later, Henderson shared this interesting story about Kobe, and many people expressed doubts at that time.However, this world is like this, if you can't do it, it doesn't mean others can't do it.It wasn't until the staff at the time came forward to say it, and there was a live video that Kobe's anecdote was admired.

Chu Xiao knew what Kobe said at that time through the video, and then returned it to him.

After the game continued, Chu Xiao made two free throws, and received the ball in the corner before the end of the game, and scored another 2 points steadily in the open situation.In the second quarter alone, he scored 14 points. It was because of his amazing performance in this quarter that the Lakers went from being behind by 6 points to leading their opponents by 51 points 47-4.

Another battle in another place, Artest returned to the court again, with him, Kobe finally didn't have to work so hard on the defensive end.Because in the Lakers' defensive system, Artest's role is very important. When he is sloppy on the defensive end, the Lakers' overall defense will have problems.In a game, Artest's statistics may not be good, but his role is no less than that of Kobe, Chu Xiao, Warcraft and others.The difference is that Kobe, Chu Xiao, Warcraft, and Gasol are the core of the offense, while Artest represents the soul of the Lakers' defense. He is the core link of the Lakers' defense.As a defender, all he needs to do is force turnovers, more steals and so on.

So Kobe, who was liberated, forcibly "eat melons" under the intentional assists of his teammates.

First, "Melon" Anthony played strongly at the beginning and felt hot. He scored 3 points in 7 mid-range shots in a row, helping the Knicks to play a 2-12 attack wave in 2 minutes, and once again surpassed the Lakers by 6 points.

Since then, Kobe and Anthony began to score points with each other.Bryant made two consecutive inside throws, including a difficult negative angle shot, and scored 4 points first.Then after blocking JR Smith's shot, he launched a fast break layup and caused Smith to foul, completing a "three-pointer".

After several attacks, the two sides finally faced each other and continued to stage a head-to-head confrontation between the "96 Golden Generation" and the "03 Platinum Generation". The Black Mamba met Kaleidoscope again after New York's Madison Square Garden.

The ending is that the Mamba and Gua are tightly wrestling together, you stab me, I kick you, no one is willing to back down for the final victory.

Guage took the lead in opening the Kaleidoscope Sharingan. After seeing clearly that Kobe was standing on the three-point line to defend, he took two steps back and hit an ultra-long-range three-pointer. The black flames from the sky burned the Staples Center.

Kobe was naturally not to be outdone, spat out the letter of the black mamba, and singled "Melon" Anthony with his back. He made 2 of 2 shots and forced to eat the melon. point.

At the end of the third quarter, Anthony contributed 17 points, Kobe also scored 11 points, and the Knicks tied with the Lakers at 78.
