basketball forever

Chapter 113 Give me the ball!

"Then tell me, this time, how do you want to play?"

"This time, how about we aim at those two guys?"

Following the direction of Ernie Johnson's finger, Barkley and Kenny Smith saw Kobe and Wang Xiaohui.

At this time, the two are warming up on the court.

It can be clearly seen that the two of them are quite serious about this game.

In this game, they must go all out.

"Then, I vote for Kobe! In this game, I think Kobe will score higher than Wang!"

Ernie Johnson preemptively chose his betting direction before announcing the topic.

Barkley just raised his hand, but Kenny Smith has already grabbed it first.

"I vote for Kobe too!"

Barkley's opened mouth moved, but in the end he could only choke out one sentence, "You two are really shameless."

"Hehehe~"

Those two people didn't care about being shameless or not, they only knew that this time, he had a great chance of winning.

You know, Kobe is averaging 27.6 points per game, and although Wang Xiaohui has scored a lot, reaching 26.3 points, but judging from the state of the recent games, Kobe has scored 25 points in several consecutive games The above is above, but Wang Xiaohui has recently been biased towards combo guards, averaging 8+[-] per game.

In terms of scoring alone, they are more optimistic about Kobe.

Of course, there is another more important reason, and that is Kobe's selfishness.

Even though there is a big brother O'Neal on top, Kobe takes a lot of shots per game.If he wants, his shot can override O'Neal, this is the only Lakers player with unlimited shooting rights.

On the other hand, the Wizards.Unlimited firepower, this word seems a little strange to the Wizards.

This is a young team, they emphasize the team, they emphasize the collective.

And Wang Xiaohui is a player of a film team.Compared with Kobe, Wang Xiaohui will not hold the ball very long.The possession rate of the ball will not be as high as Kobe.Many times, he plays the role of point guard organization, and he is not a selfish person in terms of ball distribution.Even if he has his own shot opportunities, he will still choose teammates with better shots.

In this way, if the two teams win or lose, team basketball may shock everyone again today.However, the Lakers are the Lakers after all, and the background is there.Therefore, the team won or lost, this time it is really not easy to compare.

Well, it's more predictive than anything else.

Thus, Ernie Johnson found the two key figures who were facing each other today, and who will be paid close attention to by the media.

Moreover, the scores of the two were compared.

If it is just a score comparison, then, obviously, Kobe Bryant, who is more selfish and has more shooting rights, will obviously be the final big winner.

"Then, then I'll choose Kobe too."

"No! There are only three of us, how can we all choose the same one? How boring is that?"

"That's right, Charles, it's fast and slow. You can only fight alone today."

"You will be punished for this."

In the end, in desperation, Barkley could only stand in the Wizards' camp, on Wang Xiaohui's side.

"You all support Kobe, right? Then I will support Wang. I still don't believe it. Wang is the fourth person on the MVP list. I don't believe that he can't score better than Kobe."

"Hahaha, Charles, you are in a hurry."

"That's right, Charles, you are in a hurry. But it doesn't matter, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You should also lose this time."

"If I remember correctly, Kenny, you cunning guy, is the one who has never lost a single game. And Ernie, this guy is the one who loses every time. So, this time, the two of you teamed up, It is destined that some of you will break the spell today."

"I'm sure, that person must be me, Ernie Johnson!"

"No, no, you're thinking too much. It will definitely be Kenny who breaks the curse. Because, the one who wins today will definitely be me! Charles-wang-Barkley!"

Barkley was so self-deprecating that he even called out his full name.

This also caused a lot of laughter.

"Hahaha~~~"

The laughter was brilliant, because everyone believed that Barkley was going to be unlucky again this time.

This meal was a $1000 bet.

Although not many, Barkley has lost many times.

As time goes on, Barkley is going to go bankrupt.

beep beep beep~
The referee urges the whistle to sound, and players from both sides enter the field.

Lakers starting:

Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Rick Fox, Samaki Walker, Shaquille O'Neal,
Wizards starter;
Wang Xiaohui, Courtney Alexander, Richard Hamilton, Jahidi White, Kristen Laettner!
"The starters on both sides are the lineups we are very familiar with now. On the Lakers side, Samaki Walker comes out, and the others are their championship lineups. This lineup has brought them two championship trophies. The inside and outside of the OK combination The line is strong, and O'Neal is still an MVP-level superstar. With him, the inside line is definitely overwhelming. Kobe's rapid growth has made the Lakers' outside line even stronger. Such an OK combination, coupled with distribution of the ball Fisher with the power, Fox with the key shot, Walker with the blue-collar defense, this Lakers team is still the championship team that the entire league is afraid of facing."

"Let's see the active Washington Wizards again. Although the Wizards experienced a period of chaos after Michael Jordan was injured, he quickly found his new core. This core is Wang. Wang, the No. 13 pick, suddenly The rise made the whole team different. Wang, the combo guard, can be competent wherever the team needs him. Ball control, organization, passing, response, screen, off-ball attack, Breaking through the ball, attacking with the ball... Wang is the core of the Wizards at both ends of the defense and offense. And it is under the leadership of this young core that the Wizards once again climbed to the throne of the Eastern Conference. In addition to Wang's wonderful performance , Of course, there are other players on the Wizards. Alexander's shooting and assault when necessary are the key. Hamilton's off-ball style of play is simply incomprehensible. Purely, Jahidi White's defense is no worse than the blue collars in the championship lineup. Kristen Laettner works very hard on the defensive end, and he also has the ability to organize and support. The Wizards are also full of talents on the bench. Kwame Brown started Known as the champion of parallel imports, but gradually, he found his place in the Wizards. In the last few games, Kwame Brown's buttery hands have become less, and his performance has become more prominent. Whether it is defense or offense, he has performed better. I believe that coach Del Harris will give Kwame Brown more playing time today. In addition to him, there are Brandon Heywood and Bob Bi Simmons, Tyronn Lue, and many, many outstanding substitute players, as long as they play, they will contribute their own strength. Although the Wizards temporarily lost Michael, the players on the whole team were all taken by Del Harry. Coach Si developed it. Before, during the news interview, Phil Jackson said that Del is a very good coach and the best training coach in the league. He can develop the potential of players. In my opinion, That's right, absolutely right. However, Phil Jackson said that coach Del Harris can't lead the team, and the results of leading the team and coaching are not good. In fact, I don't agree with this. Today, this game will be between the Lakers and the Wizards The battle will be a battle between OK and the Wizards, and it will also be a battle between two famous coaches, Phil and Del. In the end, who will win the game, we will continue to look down."

At this time, players from both sides finally came on stage one after another, greeting and saying hello to each other.

"Okay, the starting players from both sides are on the field, the game is about to start, let's hold our breath and wait for the game to start."

.

The starting players on both sides of the field greet each other.

When Kobe gave Wang Xiaohui a high-five, his face was expressionless.

Well, neither of them had a very friendly expression, but a little indifferent.

Complete stranger expression.

However, after the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the two men completely changed their appearance.

beep!
The whistle sounded, and the ball was slapped back by O'Neill.

Kobe got the first ball.

Without waiting for the Lakers to start to settle, Kobe directly killed the past single-handedly.

Hamilton stuck early, but Kobe simply changed direction and swayed away.

Killed beyond the three-point line, alas, when the Wizards players were not getting a firm foothold, Kobe seemed to have an idea.

"He's going to vote!"

For the Wizards, Wang Xiaohui reminded loudly.

However, Hamilton was still half a beat behind, unable to catch up or cover.

Kobe really made a move!
Before Hamilton's long arm chased after him, he shot directly.

It was a bold shot directly from the [-]-point line.

Oh, the referee didn't raise his hand, it was a big two-pointer that stepped on the line.

Whoosh!
As the sound of the ball piercing through the heart and into the net sounded, the originally lively Wizards auditorium fell into silence for a short while.

In this way, Kobe on the field is proud.

"Wow! come on!"

The proud Kobe did not forget to shout a few exciting words at Hamilton.

Kobe imitated Jordan's movements, and now, even Jordan's trash talk, Kobe wants to put it into practice.

Today, on Hamilton, he really used it well.

Hamilton gritted his teeth, secretly ruthless.

'Next time, you have no chance. '

After a brief silence, the scene broke out again.

"Beat that guy to death!"

"Wizards come on!"

"Kobe, you rotten person, get out of here! Washington doesn't welcome you."

In the commentary seat, Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith laughed happily.

"See, this is Kobe. Moreover, today's Kobe can see that this guy is full of offensive desire. Today, he may score 40 points."

"According to the previous games, Kobe's offensive firepower has been fully fired from the beginning. Then, in today's game, he will probably explode. So, Charles, you are in danger."

"Hmph, you two are so happy, the game has just begun. Look, Wang has passed."

On the field, the Wizards' offense, Wang Xiaohui brought the ball over.

Facing Fisher's defense, Wang Xiaohui easily passed the opponent.

After the pass, the Lakers' supplementary defense quickly came over.

Involving the opponent's defense and seeing a good opportunity for his teammates, Wang Xiaohui also passed the ball habitually.

Samaki Walker's dispatch gave a very large gap inside.

Wang Xiaohui pushed it casually.

Inside, inside Kristen Laettner gets a lob and jumps up.

boom!
The empty catch dunk is successful!

"yeah!!!"

The Wizards fans at the scene were very happy.

As for the commentary seat off the court, Charles Barkley didn't know what to say.

He didn't know what to say, but the two guys next to him knew it very well.

"Charles, don't be sad, at least Wang is performing very well now, and he has not lived up to your expectations."

"That's right, Charles, Wang is actually that good, but he hasn't shown his offensive skills yet. If Wang starts to move later, Kobe will definitely not be able to stand up. Hahaha."

Although they were all saying good things for Wang Xiaohui, Barkley clearly felt that these two guys had something to say.

"It's really not a good thing for you two to be in the same boat."

"Hehehe."

Regarding Barkley's complaints, the two of them didn't care at all.

As long as the final bet wins, then everything else is floating clouds.

On the court, the Wizards players also had some exchanges.

"Wang, don't pass it on to me, do it yourself. You were absolutely able to make a jump shot just now, why did you come in?"

"Uh, accidentally, well, I should say I'm used to it."

"Okay, Wang, anyway, this time it's like this, next time, you must not pass it on to me, okay? What we want is you to beat them! Beat that arrogant guy."

"Well, I know how to do it."

.

At this time, the Lakers' offense started again.

In the backcourt, Kobe directly grabbed Fisher's possession of the ball, directly on his baseline, and dribbled to the frontcourt.

When it comes to the frontcourt, the Lakers should attack with O'Neal's strong point inside.

This is the tactical system the Lakers are best at.

On the inside, O'Neal has already started to get stuck.

Kristen Laettner and O'Neal robbed very fiercely.

However, the gap in height and strength made Kristen Leitner suffer a lot.

O'Neal is already in position deep inside.

No way, Jahidi White could only leave his defender slightly, aiming at O'Neal.

"Give me the ball!"

Inside, O'Neill raised his hand high.

In the past, as long as O'Neal raised his hand like this, Fisher on the outside would obediently send the ball in.

However, today it is Kobe who controls the ball.
