Chapter 63 Anxiety
In 2 minutes of playing, Ye Heping scored 4 points, 1 assist and 1 block, with excellent offense and defense.

The final assist to Kobe was even more spiritual.

After Kobe scored the goal, instead of celebrating, he ran over and beat Ye Heping on the chest: "That's it! That's it!"

The rookie's statistics are still poor, but every time he plays, he can make Kobe feel helpful and feel that he is not playing alone.

On the offensive end, Ye Heping is extremely accurate and never wastes a good opportunity.

On the defensive end, Ye Heping can single-handedly defend, and can also assist in defending and replenishing defenses, which can effectively reduce Kobe's energy on the defensive end.

During the break, Kenny Smith said with a smile: "There are very interesting data here."

"Kobe averaged 5.8 assists per game this season, but 2.3 were given to Ye Heping, accounting for 40% of his total assists, and the second meme only had 22%."

"Ye Heping averaged 5.4 rebounds per game this season, including 2.4 offensive rebounds. Not to mention the exaggerated offensive rebound ratio. The most powerful thing is that 2.4 of the 1.9 offensive rebounds came from Kobe's missed shots. The proportion reached 79%."

"So Ye Heping is Kobe's best helper?"

Buckley asked.

"No, no, no! I don't think so. A guy averaging 8.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game is too ordinary. Butler, Odom, Mihm, and even Atkins are better than Ye!"

Subsequently, Barkley asked and answered himself.

Although optimistic about Ye Heping, Barkley is optimistic about Ye Heping's future, not the present.

Ye Heping's stats are simply pediatrics in the eyes of a superstar like Barkley.

"So you forget, Kobe averaged only 7.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in his first season?"

But the magician shut up Barkley with one word.

On fighting, Barkley singled out a hundred magicians.

Compared with IQ, the magician really crushed Barkley.

"Uh...but that's Kobe, there's only one Kobe in the league."

Barkley is still talking hard, but obviously has no confidence.

……

Amidst the narrator's dispute, the second quarter began.

Kings: Sangueira, Webb, Peja, Jackson, Jackson.

Lakers: Cook, Odom, Ye Heping, Kobe, Brown.

The Lakers go first.

Odom broke through Weber outside.

Even when Webber is healthy, his defense is above average, the kind that eats his body.

Today's fragile knees make his body worse than before, and he can't prevent Odom at all.

Odom drove to the basket for an easy layup.

Snapped!
However, Matt Barnes didn't know where to come out, and his head and face were a big hat.

This guy is a veritable bench gangster, with an extremely tough style and a very hard defense.

Sangueira received the rebound and the Kings attacked.

Odom and Cook are both there, and Ye Heping is in the 3rd position, defending the king's top scorer Peja.

It is a bit difficult for the average small forward to defend Peja.

But for Ye Heping, it was really easy.

Peja's biggest advantage is his height of 208 cm, which is a bug in position 3.Because most of the No. 3 positions are only about 2 meters tall, it is too disadvantageous to defend Peja.

But Ye Heping is definitely not included here.

Height, long arms and fast speed, Ye Pingtian Kepeja.

All kinds of counterruns, bottom line walks, air cuts... Peja worked hard for several rounds, but he never got rid of Ye Heping.

This candy-style defense made Peja want to cry.

I am your lover of three lives and three generations, you want to follow me like this?
On the contrary, Bobby Jackson fully demonstrated the ability of the best sixth man to grab points, shooting inside and outside, and his performance was very eye-catching.

On the Lakers side, Cook also felt hot, scoring a few goals in a row.

The two substitutes fought for 3 minutes, 29:28, and the score between the two sides was still deadlocked.

Kings first substitutions, Brad replaced Webber, Bibby replaced Peja.

The Lakers also began to change: Mihm replaced Odom, Atkins replaced Brown.

Both sides restored the big lineup at the same time.

In the king's lineup, Brad Miller is the core of tactics, and he is the starting point of all tactics.

He can pass the ball, can shoot three-pointers, can break through, and is a great threat.

As long as Miller pulls to the top of the arc, Meme must defend, otherwise this anti-aircraft gun will be unscrupulous.

But in this way, the Lakers' basket will be unguarded.

Bibby and Jackson made several air cuts and achieved consecutive results. This pair of ultra-short backcourt combination is full of attack power.

But on the defensive end, the two of them have to face Ye Heping.

Barnes defended Kobe, and Sangueira and Brad defended the inside. These two guys naturally defended Ye Heping.

Then, Ye Heping has a height advantage of 20 cm, plus the advantage of wingspan...

Swish swish!
When Ye Heping scored three goals in a row and scored 10 points to help the Lakers overtake, Rick Adelman finally called a timeout.

35: 36.

"hateful!"

Adelman has a big head, and he looked at Tang Shuai bitterly, putting a guy with a height of 206 centimeters in the 3rd position, this is cheating.

But he forgot that Peja, his main force No. 3, is 208 cm tall, and he usually bullies people like this, which can be regarded as retribution.

In desperation, Peja, who had just gone down to rest for 3 minutes, was replaced again to replace Bobby Jackson.

This substitution stopped Ye Heping's offensive very well.

But Tang Shuai smiled instead of anger: Peja was forced to do defensive work, and the top scorer was half useless.

You must know that as a European white big man, Peja's physical strength is very average, but he can't play the whole court like Kobe on both ends of the offense and defense.

At the end of the second quarter, Bibby played well, scoring two three-pointers in a row, and the Kings took the lead again.

52: 50.

The first half is over.

Tang Shuai couldn't help shaking his head: The Lakers' No. 1 configuration is indeed a bit low.

Neither Atkins nor Brown pack as well as the Kings' backup: Bobby Jackson.

As for Mike Bibby, that's the league's first-line point guard.

Before the rise of Nash this year, Bibby's reputation was a little bigger than Nash, and he was known as one of the best No. 1 positions in the West all the year round.

……

The third quarter begins.

The main players of the two sides fought fiercely, and the king's team offense was based on strong personal abilities.

Webber and Peja are both top scorers, Miller and Bibby are also firepower, and Christie is also an enhanced version of 3D.

In this section, Peja changed his style of play, focusing on breakthroughs and low-post singles.

He is a sharpshooter, but not just a sharpshooter, otherwise how could he be on the MVP candidate list.

Butler, who re-entered the battle, was directly stunned by Peja.

In today's league, no team can completely suppress the King's offensive firepower.

If so, it's the Kings themselves.Webber's fitness, and Peja's habitual playoff weakness.

In this quarter of the game, the Kings team scored 33 points efficiently.

But the Lakers also started to play pick-and-roll tactics.

The old Christie wanted to go around the pick-and-roll at first, but his footsteps were obviously not as good as before.

The Kings can only choose to switch defenses.

After switching defenses, Kobe's opponent is "Big Pyrenees" Miller or Webber. The perfect small play big, that's really accurate.

In a single game, Kobe scored 17 points alone, helping the team to bite the score.

The audience is full of voices for MVP, and every wave is getting better and better.

At the end of the three quarters, 85:82, the score is still anxious.
