I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 63 A Snake Among the Crowd
Kobe didn't want Chu Xiao to leave a psychological shadow, so he patted Chu Xiao on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, give me the ball after halftime, and you will be responsible for running without the ball and doing a good job of catching the ball." Prepare to shoot, let’s see how I play by the way, the Mamba spirit is to face the challenge and never give up, and finally beat the opponent hard.”

Then Kobe changed to a fierce look and stared at the opposite Nets player, thinking, "You guys are playing too much, if that's the case, then pay the price!"

Pause back, and the game continues.

The Lakers trailed by 2 points 12-10, but Deron still chose to press the frontcourt and let the opponent catch the ball and fell into a hard fight.

Chu Xiao didn't entangle him too much. After opening up the space, he used his stable ball-handling skills to pass the half court, and then handed it directly to Kobe. If you dare to let him go completely, you can only send Johnson or Wallace to take turns to mark him from the sidelines.

As a result, Kobe got more chances to play Deron in dislocation singles.

In fact, every time he holds the ball, he will deliberately look for Deron or Wallace, and tell the other party through his eyes, don't you old hooligans want to play?Then I'll have fun with you guys.

Facing Deron's blindfolded defense outside the three-point line, Kobe chose to play one-on-one, constantly changing directions, and then pulled up high near the free throw line to complete a jumper.

Speaking of it, Kobe is also an out-and-out ankle terminator. His direction change speed is not fast, and his explosive power is not strong, but his direction change is large and his sense of rhythm is too good. Those who defend him one-on-one, keep up with the pace Easy, but judging his rhythm is difficult.

So Deron watched helplessly as he completed the jump shot, and after catching the ball from the baseline, he crossed the half court and tried to get it back on Chu Xiao. It turned out that he had good defensive ability and kept one step away from him. Long tried twice but failed to pass him, so he stopped and shot a jumper suddenly, but the effect was not good, and he hit the iron.

Kobe accepted the rebound, dribbled the ball behind Johnson in a gorgeous change of direction, and then cut to the penalty area in a slow and urgent manner. Wallace chased after him, and at the same time Kobe took off to block the shot. But was dunked by the opponent, the ball was dunked on the basket, Wallace and Kobe fell to the ground at the same time, and the referee whistled.

However, after the ball bounced in mid-air, it fell into the basket miraculously, 2+1.

After the free throw, Kobe played more aggressively. First, he faced Deron's defense at the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer directly. Then he broke through the bottom line. , The lever flashed past Humphries and Lopez of the Nets, and staged a shocking reverse kick, which shocked everyone.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

……

The enthusiasm of tens of thousands of fans at the scene was quickly ignited, and the cheers were louder and louder, and the deafening shouts were about to overturn the ceiling.

Nets coach Avery Johnson saw that the momentum was not good, quickly called a timeout, and then yelled at the players, "Who the hell provoked Kobe? Why did he start to go berserk in the first quarter?"

"No, who has nothing to do to provoke him." Although Deron and the others didn't know why Kobe entered the singles mode early, they thought they had a guess, so they explained, "It is estimated that the team fell behind so much at the beginning, and he was in a hurry. , so he entered the scoring mode in advance, which is very good, let him score by himself, as long as we guard against others, the victory still belongs to us.”

"Okay, let's do this." Avery had to hand over the command of the field to Deron.

After returning from the timeout, Deron threatened to take the initiative to attack. After continuously using the pick-and-roll to break through Chu Xiao, he entered the Lakers inside and made a foul. Point the ball, Johnson, Wallace, and Humphries cut in from various positions and attacked the basket in the air. This is a very aesthetic team basketball. Pick-and-roll, air cuts, people to the ball, the Nets played a wave of gorgeous offense .

21-12, still holding a lead of nearly 10 points.

Kobe's fierce eyes were shining brightly, and his lips were pulled down long and long. It was really like a poisonous black mamba showing its fangs and then fighting back.

He first passed through Gasol's screen and made the second three-pointer from one side of the game. Then he used an air cut to attract the defense and passed the ball back to Chu Xiao. Deron and Wallace immediately turned around and counterattacked. , Chu Xiao saw the two of them grinning, his heart trembled, his hands trembled, and there was a three-no-stick!

"It's outrageous!" Many fans shouted in an uproar.

"How did you do it? You still don't stick to open shots?" Artest ran up and beat him up.

"I hesitated for a while, I'm sorry!" Chu Xiao couldn't help but blame herself, wondering if she was frightened by the opponent's fierce defense?
Kobe never blamed a teammate who didn't make a shot. He turned around and defended, and then when he was attacking, he kept changing directions and breaking through. Under the encirclement of Johnson and Wallace, lightning passed the defense of the two After entering the penalty area, the ball was passed back. Gasol who followed up stretched his long arm to make up for Kobe's pass.

Seeing that Kobe was red-eyed and had all kinds of scoring and assists, the head coach of the Nets, Avery, couldn't sit still. He reached out to the referee to ask for a timeout, and then said to Deron, "I can't let Kobe play one-on-one anymore. , you must double-team, if two people can’t do it, then three people.”

Deron kept nodding his head, so far he didn't dare to be careless. Kobe has a strong desire to attack today, but he will still actively pass the ball when there is a suitable opportunity. This way the lethality is too strong, and he can no longer make a comfortable breakthrough.

With 3 minutes and 06 seconds left in the game, the Nets returned to the court, continued to use pick-and-rolls and high and low points to increase points, and at the same time expanded their defense, forcing the ball to Kobe's hands ahead of time, and then double-teamed him.

This kind of double-teaming method is very, very extreme. To put it bluntly, it is a few old hooligans on the court crazily trapping Kobe. Whether it is Deron or Wallace, they must be chasing after him and driving him beyond the three-point line.

Deron was once under the command of Jazz coach Sloan, which was a defensive army known for its iron blood. As Sloan's powerful chess piece, Deron's defense on the court showed iron blood and fearlessness.

As for Gerald Wallace, he is already known for his iron-blooded defense. His defensive awareness is no less than that of AK Kirilenko of the Jazz. He even reacts more quickly than Kirilenko and blocks shots faster than Camby. , was the only player in the league who averaged 2005+2006 (2 blocks, 2 steals) per game in the 2-2 season. He is proficient in jumping, speed, and dunking, and was selected to the best defensive team in the 2010 season.

Facing the siege and interception of these two iron gates, Chu Xiao was prevented from being transparent.Kobe looked different. He was dribbling, Deron was chasing after him, Wallace was blocking in front, and someone on the flank would interfere with him from time to time, making it difficult for him to pass the ball and make it difficult to shoot.

It seems that these old hooligans started to bully people again, but this time they seem to have chosen the wrong target, because it was Kobe who was "bullied" and he ruled over old hooligans. Will he really be bullied this time? ?What method should be used to deal with double-teaming?

Standing on the court, Chu Xiao finally realized the cruel side that could never be shown in the video clips.

Only by personally witnessing it on the field can you feel the thrill of hand-to-hand combat, and thus have a deeper impression on Kobe: facing the defense directly, unexpected, endless.

Kobe dribbled the ball and brought Deron to Wallace, slowed down, and made a fake shot. Wallace was afraid of his emergency stop jump shot and didn't dare to press too hard. As a result, Kobe chose to break through again. When starting again, Deron and Wallace are very prone to communication mistakes, even if there are no mistakes, it doesn't matter, their starting speeds are different.Kobe took advantage of this short time to form a shooting time of less than a second, turned over and stopped for a jumper, and hit it!
This ball really needs to be supported by extremely terrifying technical capabilities, that is, a large number of technical details and extremely fast frontal explosive power.First of all, you can't lose the ball when you are chasing and intercepting the two iron gates.Secondly, the ability to form a shot in a very short period of time requires a lot of practice and super talent to complete, but Kobe seems so handy, without any lag or hesitation, and it seems that he can easily complete a one-on-two.

When attacking again, Kobe was still dribbling at the top of the arc, and there were people in front and behind. Even Joe John, who was defending Chu Xiao in a misplaced position, rushed over regardless, forming a three-person double-team situation. He just didn't want Kobe to continue scoring. He passed the ball at the top of the key, which cut off his scoring momentum.

Seeing three people press up at the same time, even if they pass to an open teammate, they will be intercepted, not to mention that Kobe doesn't like to pass the ball.

Players score high, some rely on steals, some rely on spotting, some rely on people feeding the ball, some rely on pick-and-rolls, and some rely on running the baseline.

If you fail to make a shot, you will regretfully say to your teammates, "My, my!"

But Kobe is in a different situation. He doesn't use screens, he doesn't like to run open, and when he gets the ball on the court, he wants to constantly provoke the opponent. No matter how many people are on the opposite side, he only has himself, using his whole body to deal with them, and shooting against the defense. , even if he fails to make a shot, the next round will still be the same as the law. Often he is not broken, and the opponent is dragged down if he is not paying attention.

Because he relied on his pace, reaction, touch, coordination and seemingly endless physical strength, endlessly faced the defense, and then made many incredible and unreasonable goals.

Maybe the true shooting percentage and scoring efficiency are not as high as others, but those who have defended say that Kobe is the most difficult to defend.

This is the so-called: Bystanders look at the data, while the parties care about technology and experience.

Not much nonsense, the three of them have already pressed up, Kobe dribbled the ball, turned around and slipped away, walking in the opposite direction of the double-team, neither fast nor slow, as if waiting for the opponent to catch up again, in fact Chu Xiao and the others would also Run up to respond.

At this time, Kobe made a false pass to Chu Xiao, and then continued to shake to lure Deron and Wallace to come up. If they were slow, Kobe would wait until Wallace stood firm and wanted to grab it. When throwing the ball, he gave Chu Xiao a wink, but he suddenly sped up and threw away Wallace. Chu Xiao moved along with him and led Deron back, causing a gap between Deron and Johnson who was defending. , Kobe got in with a touch of his figure, leaving all three defenders behind, and his eyes suddenly opened up. Jump shot.

So relying on his ability to break double-teams, Kobe turned into a snake and slithered through the crowd, taking over all of the Lakers' offenses in the final moments of the first quarter.In the end, he scored 18 points in a single quarter, helping the team fall behind 28-30 by only 2 points.

In Chu Xiao's eyes, Kobe at this moment was decisive and mighty.
