NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 56 Fierce Battle

In fact, the gap between the Lakers and the Suns is still overall, and it cannot be reflected by a few assists.

Of course, although Kobe didn't understand, he knew how to look at the form, and scored if he couldn't assist.

At the same time keep rebounding, this is the daily life of Bryant's new season, switching between scoring and organization, and then gritting his teeth.

He is obviously not wrong, why the team's performance is not good enough, it must be the team's fault.

The main players of both sides, in the case of Kobe not breaking out, the sun's offensive power is visible to the naked eye.

As for the bench, Barbosa finally arrived, and finally he was able to lead the bench to bully people.

The Lakers' rotation is really not good. Defensive strikers like Jumaine Jones are responsible for scoring.

They can only compress Kobe's rest time and let him lead the main force and the substitute.

There should be Kobe's own strong desire, but the effect is not very good.

A big pitcher like Brian Cook is still suitable for a superstar. He received Kobe's pass and shot a lot of three-pointers during his rotation, but his shooting percentage was only average.

The biggest problem for the Lakers is actually that the players' offense and defense are separated, just like Kobe's organization and offense are separated.

Their players this season, those who can defend can't attack, and those who can attack can't defend. As a result, they can't do both offensively and defensively.

Kobe went down to rest for a minute or so in the second quarter, and then exploded when he came up.

To put it bluntly, he made consecutive hits against Joe Johnson's defense.

Joe Johnson was very serious, his eyes were shining, he adjusted his breathing, and worked harder.

For a superstar like Kobe, he has studied it many times, and after he was fucked last time, he has studied it for a long time, which is completely different from being suppressed by a player like a madman.

Joe Johnson got down on his crotch, changed direction, pulled up calmly, and hit a shot in front of Kobe.

"Brother, you can do it!" Russell stepped forward to give him a high five.

After Joe Johnson also hit Kobe twice, he finally couldn't help but roared.

He can do it, even against Kobe, he deserves a long contract, the team's choice to sign him is profitable, he is no worse than Stoudemire.

Of course, Kobe actually performed better than Joe Johnson, but he just didn't have the energy to focus on one opponent.

Kobe scored in double figures in a single quarter, and it broke out that the reason why the Lakers were unable to chase points was Iguodala.

In the first quarter, he was obviously hitting the iron, but in the second quarter, he suddenly felt better.

Even his teammates don't know that Iguodala's touch is regular.

But Russell can be sure that this buddy has a big heart, is very professional, and will not be afraid on the court.

Like Russell, he doesn't shoot wildly because he doesn't have confidence, but because he has ideas.

Inside, Stoudemire is still stable, the Lakers are willing to foul, the confrontation is more intense, but it can only make Stoudemire a little less comfortable.

Marion's touch is average, but his defense is really good, and his rebounds and help defense are very stable.

The Lakers players don't dare to kill inside because of Marion's defense.

He and Odom's team positioning is similar, but the efficiency is really better.

After the first half, the Suns led by 6 points.

Russell feels very good, and it is cool to have enough good players around him.

He is now waiting for young players to grow up, and he can basically sit back and enjoy the benefits.

Of course, in the outside world, he is the most famous young player.

"No matter what, let's keep an eye on Kobe." In the locker room, Russell said.

"Right, they are just like Kobe can fight." Stoudemire said with confidence in his eyes.

Joe Johnson said calmly: "I'll take care of it."

Russell smiled and said, "Don't be so serious, basketball games are not heads-up, we win the game together."

The crowd chattered and laughed well into the second half, but they ran into trouble in the third quarter.

The Lakers are determined to delay the rhythm, just to fight the sun.

Fighting the Suns is not afraid, and the Lakers don't have many moves, more of them are Kobe singles.

The key is that the Lakers really hit the bet on Iguodala's shooting percentage, and Iguodala is not allowed in this quarter.

In positional warfare, Kobe's efficiency is actually not high, because the sun will pinch.

But Kobe is ruthless enough, he doesn't care so much, he can still score with almost a shooting percentage. On the defensive end, he pinches Joe Johnson again, completely sparing no effort.

Kobe's physical strength was really good at his peak, and Russell secretly thought that if he played that much for more than one quarter, he would be crippled.

But Kobe is still full of energy, and he is grinding to lead the team to chase points.

Russell, who scored 20 points in the game, is also a rookie. This time the Lakers will take care of him a little bit, and he will die again.

Fortunately, the Suns have more opportunities. Russell reckoned that if he didn't have a trick to work as a drinking fountain administrator in the NBA, he might be able to average three points per game.

Of course, now that he has the opportunity to take more shots, he will not mess around, because there is a greater chance of passing to his teammates.

Stoudemire is vigorous, but he also encountered trouble, that is, he was fouled twice. In the first half, his free throws were at most not free.

Although the Suns played back-to-back away games, they really didn't take the Lakers seriously.

As a result, in the third quarter, I felt that I might overturn.

How could this work? Russell was a little anxious and shouted loudly on the court.

Fortunately, everyone knows how to deal with the Lakers, and he didn't shout.

Of course, it's for Kobe to confront and consume. As long as Kobe's physical strength is not so good, no matter how good the Lakers are playing now, it will be nothing but fantasy.

Joe Johnson is trying his best, and Iguodala and Marion will also help. It will not be so easy for Kobe to score under the defense of the Suns.

But Kobe didn't care at all, and led the team to catch up with the score both times.

As an opponent, Russell would give a thumbs up and say that Kobe is really strong.

But the shooting percentage is also half that of the second quarter, which is the price of not caring about defense.

In the second half, the two teams faced each other head-to-head, and the substitute players didn't dare to play, and it was still the main force's confrontation at the end of the quarter.

Stoudemire took an extra 2 minutes rest due to a foul problem, and Varejao also partnered with the main players for a while, and his performance was quite satisfactory.

Although Russell passed the ball, he couldn't explode like Stoudemire, but he could score when he seized the opportunity, and his ability to distribute the ball was not bad.

Kobe on the Lakers side did not rest, and went straight to the final quarter.

It's just that the shooting rate has dropped a bit. After Kobe took over the game, he didn't like passing the ball very much.

Everyone's hands were cold watching Kobe's performance, and it's normal if he can't hit.

But at this time, the sun can't relax at all.

Kobe is a superstar, and he may hit the iron continuously, but as long as he is given a little chance, he can return to control the game at a critical moment.

On the court, Russell looked serious, "Brothers, hold on for a while, let's win the game."
