Chapter 333 I knew today, why was it in the first place

What Kobe mentioned happened in a preseason game in the 15-16 season.

At that time, Kobe made a three-pointer against Hood, and Hood immediately responded with one.

Kobe was naturally dissatisfied and turned around again. Unfortunately, he didn't make it, but Hood blocked his face for two consecutive three-pointers.

Kobe couldn't hold back his face and said to Hood: "I can shoot 30 times, you can only shoot 10 times, don't follow me."

Talking trash is a bit pretentious, but it's not a big problem.

But after the game, Hood relayed Bryant's words to the media and said that the two respect each other.

This is too funny. A player whose highest honor is the best rookie of the month, Kyogen and the top ten legendary superstars in history have mutual respect. It really makes people laugh.

After listening to Kobe's description of what happened back then, Tianyang smiled and said, "That's how it is."

Kobe shook his head again: "On March 3 last year, when we played against the Jazz, Hood made 29 of 3 9-pointers in the first half, completely blowing up the Lakers. If I hadn't defended myself in the second half, I might have lost more than 8 points. What a shame."

Being able to remember the specific date and how many points he lost shows how much Kobe hates him.

The Lakers lost a 48-point game, and another game was against the Clippers in 14.

The Clippers have been clearly arranged in the first game, and now it's the Jazz's turn.

Tianyang made up his mind to pay attention, and said calmly, "I'll let him learn what respect is later on."

This is the first time Tianyang has consciously attacked a player before the game.

Randall and others smiled when they heard the words, and watched another good show.

……

At 19:[-], the pre-game ceremony ended, and the game between the Lakers and the Jazz officially started.

According to the previous situation, the energy center was not full at all, but before this game, various gimmicks fermented, and more than 1 seats were full, and the number of fans watching the live broadcast online was also close to 9 million.

In terms of lineup, on the Lakers side, point guard Rose, shooting guard Tianyang, small forward Ingram, power forward Randall, center McGee, overall, the offense is strong and the defense is weak; on the Jazz side, point guard Rubio, shooting guard Hood, small forward Ingles, power forward Favors, center Gobert, on the whole, the offense and defense are balanced.

The referee walked to the middle circle, each side explained something, and then threw the ball up.

McGee and Gobert struggled to take off, putting their palms on the basketball one after another.

In the end, the basketball flew to the backcourt and fell into Tianyang's hands.

Tianyang took it directly to the left wing, faced Hood's defense, quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch, and suddenly pulled the ball to the right with one step.

Hood kept up, but Tianyang jumped very high and shot easily.

'Shua', a hollow hit, a three-pointer arrived, and the touch was okay.

The Jazz changed sides to attack, Rubio dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and cooperated with Hood hand-in-hand.

Considering the attribute of 'Lu Yizhong', Tianyang bypassed the cover ahead of time and chased after him.

Sure enough, Rubio did not take a three-pointer, but still honestly gave the ball to Hood.

Hood took the ball to face Tianyang, and started in a three-threat position. After several trials, he dropped the ball to the right.

Generally speaking, in this situation, you need to follow up, wait for the opponent to enter the free throw line, and fight hard with your body.

But Tianyang didn't seem to be able to wait at all, so he immediately started to press down.

Hood was not stupid, and quickly pulled the ball over, trying to cheat a foul.

Naturally, Tianyang would not be fooled, and immediately retracted his hands.

Hood's wish came to nothing, and because he firmly believed that Tianyang would grab the ball, he had nowhere to leverage.

In other words, if the ball is pulled over, it cannot be pulled back.

At this moment, Tianyang started to hit the ball again.

"Crack", there was a clear stealing sound, and Tianyang picked up the basketball and rushed to the frontcourt.

Hood hurriedly turned around to catch up, but his physical fitness was too average and his explosive power was relatively poor, resulting in a relatively slow speed. He could only watch a figure go away helplessly, and made other Jazz players give up chasing.

Tianyang rushed to the three-point line, made a decisive shot, and ended up hitting the iron.

The Jazz players on the field saw that there was still play to be done, and hurriedly chased after him.

Tianyang didn't panic, rushed to the inside to pick up the ball, gave up the layup, and circled back outside the three-point line again.

Now, even Bennett, a basketball idiot, might be able to see through his intentions.

With a big wave of Snyder's hand, Favors defended and let Hood face Randall.

Tianyang took a look, and pretended to make a shot, but actually made a long pass to the top of the arc.

Favors missed, the basketball fell into Randle's hands, and the latter dribbled to the basket.

Hood's small body, how to block it?
Successfully scored 2 points, the Lakers started 5-0.

The Jazz attacked, Rubio dribbled to the right wing, and Hood reached for the ball in the short corner.

Rubio didn't give it, and turned to Gobert to play a pick-and-roll, using the screen to get to the free throw line.

Randall stepped forward from the low post on the left to defend, Rubio scored Favors, and the latter made a mid-range shot and made a hit.

"See, if you come to attack, I'll steal it again." Tianyang ran to the front court, while spraying trash at Hood, trying to interfere with his mind.

Tianyang concluded from the temporarily collected information that Hood's biggest problem is "lack of self-knowledge" at best, or "defiant" at worst, and he likes to spoil the atmosphere of the locker room.

The newspaper said Hood suffered from anxiety attacks.

Anxiety attacks can't be an excuse for being 'defiant'.

Tianyang couldn't bear to be threatened just by commenting on Mitchell's skills.

What's more, the NBA is originally a stage for the strong, so is it still talking about first come first come first?
In a blink of an eye, Rose controlled the ball and stopped at the top of the arc, Tianyang stretched out his right hand, and the basketball flew into his hand with a 'swoosh'.

"Get ready to cover me, I'm going to shoot a 3," Tianyang deliberately 'reminded'.

Hood's face turned cold, and he pretended not to care, but his feet adjusted their orientation slightly.

Tianyang saw it, snorted, and pulled out directly.

In terms of height, Hood's 203cm is even taller, but Tianyang has the first-mover advantage, and he is rushing to make shots. Hood's take-off and blocking shots are useless.

'Bang bang bang', the basketball hit the circle and bounced back and forth, then fell in, and scored another 3 points.

"I'm waiting for your response, I hope you hurry up." Tianyang returned to defense, and usually spat trash talk at Hood.

Hood looked embarrassed, ran to the right wing, and reached for the ball again.

But Rubio still refused to give it, and continued to play pick-and-roll with Gobert, and used the same method to divide the ball and assist to score.

8 to 4, the Jazz actually played well, with only one turnover.

The Lakers attacked, Tianyang asked for it from the left wing, and Rose immediately gave it to him.

"See? This is the gap."

"This time I'm going to break through to the left, you have to guard against it."

"Are you ready? I'm going to start!"

After spouting three trash words in a row, Hood was a little upset, and actually started to press him.

Tianyang saw that it was exactly what he wanted, so he put his hand up very cooperatively and made a shooting action at the same time.

"Beep!", the referee blew his whistle, whistled for a foul shot, and made three free throws.

"Have you learned it? This is the correct way to draw a foul." Tianyang said with a smile.

Hood stomped his feet angrily and cursed, but he was helpless.

During the free throw period, Snyder replaced Hood and replaced Mitchell at shooting guard.

Tianyang made three free throws, turned around and ran forward, deliberately passing by Snyder.

"If I knew it was like this, why did you speak harshly at the beginning?"

When Snyder heard the words, his face was gloomy, but he ignored it, but turned around and shouted at Mitchell:

"Fuck him for me, fuck him to death!"

Mitchell couldn't laugh or cry, rushed to Tianyang's side, and said: "Senior, in order to express my gratitude and respect to you, I will do my best in this game, and I hope you will not show mercy to me!"

Tianyang smiled and nodded: "Come on! Let us tell the world what a shooting guard can do!"
