Chapter 176 Kobe Bryant's Transformation, Jim Jackson's "Selflessness"

There are many defensive masters in the history of the NBA, but what people really remember are those guys with strong scoring ability. Defenders always seem to be a blue-collar existence, and their attention is far less than that of those scoring players.

Yu Guo's steal this time can be regarded as a good example for the defenders. As long as you defend well enough, you can also attract people's attention, and now the Atlantic Forum Arena is full. The cheers proved this point, and Chickhearn didn't know what words to use to express it.The guest commentator who came today is not Magic Johnson, otherwise, with his urinating nature, he must have started yelling a long time ago.

Kevin Johnson gasped. Is this guy really that strong, with both offense and defense?Looking at Yu Guo, Kevin Johnson felt that his whole body was burned up, and the game continued.

Jim Jackson and Kobe are still constantly pushing and shoving. This guy is not much worse physically than Kobe, but he did not become a top superstar because he did not work as hard as Kobe. Kobe's talent cannot be said to be very strong among the superstars in the NBA. Yes, at least McGrady, Jordan and these guys can completely blow him up in terms of talent. He can grow into the greatest shooting guard in the future because of his perseverance. No one can erase the attitude of basketball.

Kevin Johnson also understood how unwise it was to talk trash with Yu Guo. Jim Jackson gained a certain advantage in the confrontation with Kobe. Kevin Johnson immediately passed the ball to the opponent. To the ball, one step past Kobe, to the inside, the score seems to be within reach, because Ewing and Laettner are completely entangled by AC Green and Danny Manning, Jim Jackson this is a perfect opportunity .

The most jaw-dropping scene of the game appeared in this quarter. Jim Jackson actually made a back pass and passed the ball directly to the outside line when he could score a layup. No, there seems to be an extra person in the middle of the passing route. , with a sound of Duang, the ball broke away directly in the middle.

"Oh, a steal like a scalpel, was Jim Jackson thinking about life just now? He could score and chose to split the ball. He has never been so selfless in Dallas."

What Chick Hearn said made the Lakers fans present laugh out loud, and Hilary Swank also shook his head. The Suns played too much, especially Jim Jackson. The thing is that there is no need to use it to the extreme. When he was in the Mavericks, he had a triple-double against Kidd, but can he compare with Kidd? In the end, he was traded to Phoenix.

Kevin Johnson really doesn't know what to say. Jim Jackson's idea is very good, but he is not an excellent passer. There is no problem for him to score the ball himself, but he just wants to Assist teammates.

The first quarter ended in this episode, and the Suns did not let the Lakers open the score in the away game.

Yu Guo's performance in this quarter can only be said to be tepid, with 4 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals. Kobe, Ewing, and Eddie Jones also played well. The Suns, Kevin Johnson, AC Green A group of people did not sit still. Compared with the first game, they played harder. They are very aware of the current situation. If they lose another game in Los Angeles, then the game can really be a gameover.

Danny Ainge looked at Yu Guo, and he was more in admiration in his heart. The steal in the first quarter was simply speechless. The steal can still be played like this. This is completely treating defense as an art. ah.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' substitutes continued to perform well. Horry threw two consecutive three-pointers from DuangDuang, but Finley on the other side also responded with three three-pointers. In this half of the game, The best player on the Sun's side should be Michael Finley.

He has already scored 9 points and three three-pointers. In this era, if he can make three three-pointers in a game, he is already a sharpshooter, but he made three in one quarter. .

No wonder the Mavericks are drooling at him, so they did not hesitate to let Ma Shiben and Jim Jackson go. This guy really has the capital to be worthy of the team. will be.

Yu Guo was on the bench and glanced at the auditorium. In addition to Hilary Swank, the later actress, there are also all kinds of stars. Los Angeles is indeed a place where people are glamorous.

Some of the stars here are Lakers fans, such as Jack Nixon and Jessica Alba, but more of them are guys who come to catch the heat. Los Angeles is a vanity fair, and Hollywood is a big dye house. It's not that simple, so coming to the Lakers to watch the game and increasing exposure is another way for them.

After half a quarter of the second quarter, Yu Guocai came on the court, and the score on the court was still not stretched. The Suns played really tough. This is the playoffs. I live, and if I lose, I have to go home and go fishing.

Yu Guo gave the ball to Kobe, Kobe got the ball, Laettner immediately made a pick and roll for him, Kobe immediately got rid of Jim Jackson and went inside, Danny Manning and AC Green immediately rushed over, and he At this time, he passed the ball to Ewing with a hand, and Ewing easily scored.

Kobe returned to the defense as if everything had happened, but he still looked at Yu Guo vaguely. This guy is still as strong as ever. Being able to pass this kind of ball shows that he is also good at passing the ball. After a lot of effort, Kobe's passing is very good in later generations, and his total assists in the playoffs are also ranked very high. Although many people scold him for being alone, this does not mean that he cannot pass. His passing level is still acceptable, at least much better than the average point guard, such as Mr. Yu, he is a famous Lakers legend in later generations, but what is his real strength, especially as a point guard? Nash, that is basically two levels. Although he is a point guard, he is more like an engineer. As for the so-called big heart, he is a few grades behind people like Robert Horry. .

But this is also a good sign, isn't it? At least he passed the ball in the first season. Although it was very deliberate, compared to making enemies with the Lakers in later generations, he is really good now.
