The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 301 Competitive spirit

After the third quarter, head coach McMillan asked Xue Ding to rest for 2 minutes to recover his strength, but Xue Ding refused.

He knew that the head coach's arrangement was based on normal physical exertion, but because he was a fighter, his consumption was relatively small.

There is still the last quarter of the game, and Xue Ding feels that he can survive.

According to his idea, it is also very simple. If he rests for 2 minutes in the fourth quarter and lets the Lakers take a bigger lead before playing, the pressure will be even greater, and the physical exertion will not be too small. He led his teammates to win the game in one go.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xue Ding continued to play, but the Lakers put Kobe on the bench to allow him to rest fully.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball past halftime, Artest defended him, and his style was as tough as ever.

If you can sum up the characteristics of Artest's defense, it is hard and tough, like a cow, in good health, and quite stubborn. If it is someone else, facing Artest's defense, he will be very passive. .

But it is a pity that he is defending Xue Ding this time. In terms of physical condition, Xue Ding is slightly better, but Xue Ding is very clear that this match is not a duel between him and Artest. This is not a level. The opponent is just a tactical arrangement to limit himself.

So Xue Ding played very cleverly, just using a skillful force, four or two strokes of a thousand catties.

In terms of mentality, no matter how big Artest's movements are, keep calm and not get emotional, but use the initiative of offense to constantly mobilize Artest.

Therefore, while Artest kept using his body to block the ball, he also kept taking out the ball with his hands. Anyone who has played ball knows that this kind of defensive cliff is the most annoying, but Xue Ding remained unmoved and used his body to cover Artest. , leaning on Artest's body to dribble the ball to the right, then suddenly turned and turned to the left. When Artest quickly followed, Xue Ding turned and turned to the left again.

Just such a swing from left to right, Artest fell off easily.

It's not that Artest's defense is not good, it's just that Xue Ding's offense is more ingenious, using his body to deal with you, making you feel that I want to fight back against you, but a sudden breakthrough makes you at a loss what to do.

Once Xue Ding is allowed to break through the opponent and successfully take the first step of acceleration, everyone in the alliance now understands that there is only one situation in this situation, and that is to stay away from the brutal Xue Ding. Own.

Because once Xue Ding flies, under the double blessing of speed and strength, he is unstoppable, even if he wants to foul, he has no chance.

Xue Ding, who was soaring into the air, took off directly from the free throw line in one step, and went straight to the basket with great force.

After landing on the ground, Xue Ding made a very pretending movement, opening his right hand to his ear.

The fans were directly mobilized into a frenzy, shouting constantly.

"DEFENCE"

"DEFENCE"

"DEFENCE"

……

All the Blazers were encouraged, and their spirits were extremely excited, as if they were more than tired, they retreated quickly and actively.

Without Kobe on the court, for the Lakers, the outside offense would have no advantage.

So after halftime, Lao Yu immediately lobbed the ball to Gasol inside.

Uncle Huo is defending Gasol. Regardless of his age or height, he is not dominant against Gasol.

Gasol obviously knew this too, so as soon as he got the ball, he pushed back directly to fight for a deeper position.

And Chandler was stuck by Bynum with all his strength, and there was no way to provide more assistance.

Xue Ding observed the situation on the field. The outside line of the opponent was taken away by Batum and Fernandez's bottom corner. The inside line had formed a one-on-one matchup.

There is a lot of space, and the situation is more favorable for Gasol, so he pushes Uncle Huo all at once. Xue Ding knows that he cannot score this goal, because once the opponent is allowed to score easily according to his own advantage, then there will be no chance for him to score. The opponent's attack will be like a disaster, which makes people desperate. ,

Xue Ding understood the details of these games very well, so he decided to sabotage the Lakers' offense.

Gasol dribbled the ball with his left hand and advanced with his back against Uncle Huo. Xue Ding decisively ran horizontally to the right, and then made a V-shaped reverse run to the direction of Gasol on the inside.

Just as Gasol turned around, with his whole body separated by Uncle Huo, he raised the ball with one hand in his right hand and prepared to throw it.

Before he could make a shot, Xue Ding, who had quietly come to his side, stretched out his hand and slapped it away. The ball flew directly behind him. Before Gasol could react, Xue Ding had already dribbled the ball across the half court.

Artest chased him at the first time, punctuality was obviously his forte, and halfway through the chase, Xue Ding, who was watching Juechen, got away from him by at least five or six positions, and gave up helplessly.

The familiar take-off, the familiar gliding in the air, Xue Ding once again made a strong dunk, which made the Rose Garden Stadium boil.

The Zen master immediately called a timeout and made personnel adjustments. Artest went off and Kobe went on.

时间还有8分55秒，比分94；96，开拓者保持着2分的微弱领先。

As soon as Kobe came up, everyone in the stadium felt that the moment of decisive victory had come.

The fans became a lot quieter unconsciously.

This is the power of a superstar, and Xue Ding, who was in it, felt it very clearly.

The game continued, Kobe took the ball directly and took over the possession of the ball.

Dribbled the ball to the half court, facing Xue Ding's defense, Xue Ding did not adopt the strong play mode, but cooperated with his teammates' pick-and-roll cooperation, quickly pulled out an open space, and made a direct mid-range shot to tie the score.

When he came up, he scored cleanly and directly. While showing his good touch to his teammates, he directly tied the score behind and, more importantly, gave his teammates confidence.

Facing Kobe's calmness, Xue Ding only took one action to deal with, and that was to score strongly.

After three consecutive rounds, after Xue Ding directly passed the powerful Kobe's hand, Kobe was not in the mood to cooperate according to a fixed tactical rhythm, waiting for his teammates to move or something, he picked up the ball and went straight to work.

The Zen master threw his hands angrily at the scene, but there was no better way at this time, so he simply kept silent.

Kobe's touch is still good, and he responded with hits one after another.

But Xue Ding was very happy, this is the result he wanted.

The overall configuration of the Lakers is very complete. Once they are allowed to play efficiently, it will be difficult for any team to beat them. How to make them play less efficiently, Xue Ding's way is to stimulate Kobe.

But for Kobe, the only effective way is to use his competitive spirit. Xue Ding is very aware of this, and the effect is obviously very obvious.
