I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 77 Chu Xiao's Highlight Moment

The generals of the Lakers returned to the locker room dejectedly. Everyone had no time to complain about the shabby locker room. Everyone sat on a chair with dejected faces.

Only Zen Master had a smiling expression on his face, and he repeatedly comforted the players who were extremely upset, "Everyone played well in the first half, so don't be so depressed."

Kobe buried his head and did not speak, but Chu Xiao couldn't help complaining for him, "This damn Tony Allen has outstanding physical fitness, and his strength and explosive power are amazing. He has been pestering Kobe to make it difficult for me to play. uncomfortable!"

"So you don't have to pass the ball to Kobe, let them fight, you go to attack, and Kobe is responsible for handling the key balls." Zen Master said along with his complaint.

"If I don't stand up and play singles, who can go to attack?" Kobe looked at the Zen master at this time and said, "Our inside line was pushed outside and we couldn't score, and Artest was watched dead by Gay. Only, yes, Chu Xiao hasn’t played yet!” He turned his head to look for Chu Xiao’s figure, but found that he hardly sweated, which meant that he didn’t exert much effort in the first half.

Zen master smiled and pointed out the key tactics of the second half. "The defensive system established by the black and white bears is indeed very solid, but their feet move slowly, which can be targeted by non-stop pick-and-rolls. Specifically, it is Chu Xiao and Gasol or Jordan Hill played pick-and-roll non-stop, and then formed a defense. In this way, the Grizzlies need the Black Bear or the White Bear to defend Chu Xiao, and with Chu Xiao's foot speed, the two of them People can't keep up. At that time, they have to arrange other players to help defend, such as Tony or Gay, which leads to certain loopholes in their defensive system. At that time, Kobe is up to you."

"Okay, let's do it!" Kobe's depression was swept away.

After the start of the second half, when the Lakers had the ball, Chu Xiao encountered Mike Conley's solo defense at the top of the arc. Before he reached out to call his teammates, Gasol got rid of his younger brother's entanglement and ran up to pick and roll, blocking Conley. behind.

Chu Xiao immediately rushed forward to the left, and just after a couple of dribbles, he saw Bai Xiong jumping up to make up for him, forming a one-on-one mode with him.He immediately changed direction, dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand, and strode to the left, using his quick footsteps to avoid the White Bear's block, and scored 2 points for the team with a mid-range shot.

Afterwards, he made a false shot from the same position, tricking the black bear to jump out to defend, but he slid straight to the bottom of the basket and made a layup instead, leaving the black and white bears behind.

On the third attack, Chu Xiao got an outside shot under the cover of Gasol, but he didn't continue to break through, and made a decisive three-pointer and hit it again.

In the next wave of offense, Chu Xiao repeated his old tricks and asked Gasol to play a pick-and-roll. The white bear learned from the past and no longer let his brother go to supplement the defense. Instead, he followed his brother to the top of the arc and took a counterattack. The pick-and-roll mode not only blocked Chu Xiao's attacking route in advance, but also blocked his brother, so he had to release Conley behind him.

Thus, Bai Xiong and Kang Li formed a double-teaming situation for Chu Xiao.

This kind of flank attack is very difficult for a small defender to handle, and it is easy to make mistakes when passing the ball and be beaten as a counterattack.

But Chu Xiao has a shooting guard height of 1.96 meters. He sent the ball out with a light leap, and it just fell into the hands of Gasol who was running back without the ball.

It has to be said that the black bear reacted very quickly. He left Jordan Hill behind him and rushed forward.

Unexpectedly, Gasol's mid-range shot was just a bait. He faced the black bear that was rushing over, passed the ball through the crotch, and directly hit the ball to the unguarded Jordan Hill, who dunked violently.

Although Zen master has never talked much, he has a very accurate view of the characteristics of each player. These few waves of offense are the best proof.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Chu Xiao has a high success rate of forcing a breakthrough. Coupled with the solid shooting ability of the Chinese players, the shooting rate is naturally good.

Therefore, facing the defense of the black and white bears, you can ask for anything, and can assist your teammates to get open shots.The Grizzlies had no choice but to arrange for Gay or Tony to help defend at the right time, which led to a loophole in their unbreakable defensive system, and the most direct beneficiary was Chu Xiao.

The entire third quarter became his highlight moment.

He completed 8 attacks in the penalty area and hit 6 goals. In addition to the previous three-pointer, he scored 15 points in a single quarter.

Moreover, when he encountered another double-team from Conliga, he would pass the ball to Kobe, Gasol or Artest who was ambushing in the bottom corner, and received 7 assists.

The Grizzlies failed to limit the cooperation of the Lakers in the entire quarter.

As a result, the Lakers played a smooth offense.

第三节以31-25多赢了6分，总比分也以73-85只落后12分。

In the fourth quarter of the game, the coaches of both sides had come up with the best coping tactics. The Grizzlies couldn't break the Lakers Chu Xiao-Gasol's pick-and-roll, and the Lakers had nothing to do with the black and white bears.

So the two sides combined their offensive talents.

I saw that Conley kept sending bullets to the black and white bears, and Chu Xiao also continued to use the pick-and-roll to assist his teammates. He made 1 of 3 shots and scored 2 assists again, leading the team to score 6 points.

But the Grizzlies' inside advantage is too obvious. Even if they only hit 2 points inside and grabbed rebounds to counterattack, they scored 30 points, which allowed them to continue to lead by 8 points.

Even so, the Lakers did not intend to give up the game, because when Kobe was consumed by Tony Allen, Chu Xiao's highlight moments continued.

In the last minute, he crossed the half court with the ball and encountered Conley's frontal defense. He looked up and found that Gasol was fighting with his younger brother, and he was temporarily unable to step forward to pick and roll. Kobe was blocked by Teacher Tony again, and the pass was easy. Being intercepted, he decided to go it alone.

Conley's defensive positioning is very interesting, his right half of the body is released.The purpose of this position is to let Chu Xiao break through from the right, because there are teammates on the right who can follow up and help defend.

But Chu Xiao was not fooled. After taking the ball and lowering his center of gravity, he took a small step with his right foot to deceive Conley.

Then, after taking back his right foot, the whole person quickly strode forward to the left, and quickly pulled up to shoot after two steps. This was a decisive three-point shot, and the ball still hit the net.

Conley, who planned to shift his center of gravity to the right, couldn't react in time, so Chu Xiao quickly stepped on the left and pulled up to shoot.

It is worthy of being the one who trains heads-up with Kobe every day. From the preparation to the end of the shot, this ball is completely imitating Kobe, and every shot is perfect.

Even Kobe himself couldn't help shouting, "It's beautiful, keep playing like this for the next ball."

The score was chased to only 5 points. The Grizzlies started to delay the time when they attacked, and it was not passed to the Black Bear until the last moment. As a result, he got up to shoot after slapping the ground. The ball was violated 24 seconds before it was released.

There were still 30 seconds before the end of the game. After obtaining Kobe's consent, Chu Xiao continued to play singles, and he could only play singles, because everyone else was watched so hard, even if they ran out, they couldn't catch the ball smoothly, and there was not much time left. , without delay.

This time, Chu Xiao broke through the space on the left that Conley let go. When he started from near the three-point line with the ball, he made a small shift first, also to deceive the defender.

Then, he quickly took a step on the left, pulled up and shot.

Conley was moved to the left by his left step. When he found out that he was going to shoot, it was too late to take off and block the shot. He could only watch the shot and then make it.

Speaking of Chu Xiao's shot, it was also Kobe's signature move.That is to say, in these three simple actions, the defender's center of gravity has been frequently mobilized three times: a sudden start with the ball, a speed change, and an emergency stop jump shot again.

In this way, through superposition one after another, it is easy to cause the defender to lose his position, allowing him to have a comfortable shooting space.

So far, with 24 seconds left in the game, the Lakers are still 3 points behind.

After Conley received the ball, Chu Xiao immediately made a tactical foul on him.

It is also a chance for the Lakers. Mike Conley, who has always made more than 85% of his free throws, actually missed two free throws.

With 22 seconds left in the game, the Lakers called a short timeout. After discussing with Zen Master, Kobe decided to use up the time to score 3 points.

If it hits, it can tie the score and go to overtime, otherwise it is a loss.

And everyone is more willing to accept the result of losing.Because after the game, they need to fly to Dallas overnight and play back-to-back against the Mavericks the next day. They don't want to play an overtime game, which will only make them more exhausted.

"Okay, everyone get out of the way, let Kobe single." Zen Master ordered.

"No!" Kobe refused, "The opponent will definitely guess it's me, so give the ball to Chu Xiao."

"Are you willing to play this crucial shot? It doesn't matter if you miss the shot. Losing this round may not be a bad thing." Kobe looked at Chu Xiao, his eyes full of encouragement.

"I am willing!" Chu Xiao was a little inexplicably excited when he performed the last throw by himself, and he agreed very simply, with firm and confident eyes.

When the time came, the Lakers served at the halfcourt position. The Grizzlies guessed that Kobe would make the last shot, so Tony Allen and Gay stopped him from receiving the ball.

Thus, the basketball was successfully delivered to Chu Xiao's hands.Facing Conley's marking and constant hand harassment, he chose to bend over and dribble with his hands crossed, and then stared at the stopwatch.

He fired it up, slapped his right hand quickly to the right, and then made a change of direction. During the lateral movement after the change of direction, he was already planning to use a pull-up jumper, so his first step was to make a two-footed Jump, stabilize your center of gravity, and then choose to shoot.

The ball flew over Conley's fingertips and headed for the hoop.

"Shua!"

Three points into the network.

"yeah!"

The Lakers' bench went crazy, especially Thackeray roared and threw the towel up into the sky, and he rushed to the field with his teammates, then lifted Chu Xiaotuo up, and everyone threw him up and picked him up. Live and celebrate wildly.

The Grizzlies fans fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stood up from their seats and watched the Lakers celebrate silently.

I don't know who shouted, "The game is not over yet, what are they celebrating?"

At this moment, Kobe's roar and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

Chu Xiao was also taken aback by the celebrations of his teammates. He immediately looked at the timer, which showed 3.4 seconds left.

That means, the game isn't over yet!

Immediately wake up.
