Chapter 117 Big Discount
"Oh, the current situation is quite dangerous for the Lakers. If Shaq goes down, the Lakers can only rely on the single-core Kobe. Without the internal restraint, K of the OK combination can still play his past. Does it work from the outside?"

In the commentary, Charles Barkley is not optimistic about the Lakers this time.

The reason why the OK combination is powerful is because of the combination of their inside and outside lines, mutual containment and mutual promotion, which allows them to exert the power of the triangle offense.

However, now that the O of the OK combination has been suppressed, then this combination will be greatly reduced.

If Kobe is beaten and O'Neal is left on the court, Charles Barkley still feels that the Lakers have a chance of winning.

After all, O'Neal is a figure on the MVP rankings. He is the winner of two consecutive FMVPs. O'Neal is the absolute core of the Lakers and the absolute boss.With O'Neal here, the Lakers can certainly be safe.

"No, no, Charles, I don't agree with you. We have watched the Lakers' games many times. I believe everyone knows that in many games, the Lakers will encounter such a situation. It is when Shaq meets When fouls are in trouble, the Lakers will always have someone who can stand up, and most of the people who stand up are Kobe Bryant. Although Kobe is only in his early 20s, he is considered a young player, but we all know , He is already considered a very experienced player in the NBA. Compared with those rookies who just entered the NBA in their 20s, Kobe is now a veteran in the professional arena of the NBA. Compared with the rookie Wang who is opposite, Kobe has already Been in the NBA for 6 seasons. When dealing with such a situation, Kobe is obviously full of experience. Let's move on, even without O'Neal, Kobe will stand up."

Kenny Smith said so, and Ernie Johnson beside him nodded his head in agreement.

"Yes, that's right. The Lakers are the defending champions. Their lineup depth is not just the OK combination. Although Shaq is temporarily gone, Kobe can definitely lead the way. And, Derek Fisher Er, Fox and others, they are definitely the most powerful combat power at this time. The reason why the Lakers were able to win two consecutive championships before is definitely related to the super strength of the OK combination. However, the strength of other Lakers players cannot be ignored ...Wizards thought they could take Shaq down and make it easy against the Lakers. That's true, but it's not easy to beat the Lakers. Wait and see, the Lakers will give the Wizards a good look."

Regarding the sophistry of these two people, Charles Barkley also shook his head with a smile.

Who doesn't know that O'Neal is the absolute core of the Lakers.

Without O'Neal, the overall strength of the Lakers has dropped a lot.

If it is said that the Lakers have O'Neal and are a championship-level team, then if they lack O'Neal at this time, then they are likely to be out of the playoffs.

You must know that the Western Conference this season is extremely strong.All the teams in the West are eyeing the playoffs and the championship.

It is more difficult for the Lakers without Shaq to stand out from such a highly competitive West.

However, on the field, someone was going to fight against Barkley.

"Give me the ball!"

In the backcourt, just as Fisher held the ball in his hands, he heard Kobe behind him.

Does this sound sound like an order?

Without O'Neal, wouldn't there still be Fox in this game?The old man is the existence with a higher position.

Of course, in terms of tactical status, Kobe still has to stand in a more important position.

No way, O'Neal is not there, so give it to Kobe.

'One goal, I'll give you another chance, if you don't score, I'll make the next goal myself. '

Fisher has not been born a few times since the beginning, and he has long wanted to give the pushy guy on the opposite side a good press.

However, his chances were too few and far between.

Kobe, don't let me down.

Thinking this way, Fisher took the ball across half court, then passed by, and handed the ball directly to Kobe.

The ball was passed, and Fisher hurriedly took Wang Xiaohui away.

It directly left Kobe with a single-handed chance.

Kobe vs Alexander!

Faced with this one-on-one opportunity, Kobe will definitely not show his timidity.

The fans off the court also went crazy.

"Whoa! Kobe, come on! Kill him!"

"Extraordinary! Kobe, just shake him to the ground!"

"Kill kill kill! Kobe, Kobe, Kobe gogogo!"

Amidst the endless noise at the scene, Alexander pushed forward fiercely.

Kobe wanted to push himself, of course Alexander knew that he suffered a loss in the previous few matchups.

This time, he will not give Kobe a chance to start easily.

Sticking to Kobe, Alexander didn't give Kobe any room to move.

His body was only close to Kobe, and with some small movements on his hands, he secretly grabbed Kobe's jersey.

This is to prevent Kobe from sneaking away.

Uh, it's more about Alexander's lack of confidence in his defense.

He didn't think he would be able to guard against Kobe, so he did everything very carefully.

'I won't let you pass by again, absolutely not! '

As if seeing the meaning in Alexander's eyes, Kobe smiled and raised the corners of his mouth.

With just such a smile, Kobe went straight forward.

Naturally, he didn't push it away, but he raised his elbow and directly elbowed Alexander's abdomen.

Pain in the abdomen, Alexander's hand holding Kobe's jersey was released at once.

At this time, Kobe did not advance but retreated.

It is a quick step back, directly creating space for myself to move forward.

When Alexander reposted it, Kobe suddenly swayed over.

Shake left and right!

A simple to the ultimate breakthrough move, which was used by Kobe at this time with great proficiency.

Alexander felt flustered when he was so alone.

In this panic, he subconsciously pulled his hands.

beep!
The referee blew his whistle.

This is a pulling foul.

"Woooooo~~~~"

Alexander was booed.

And more is the admiration for Kobe's beautiful breakthrough.

"Whoa, Kobe, I knew you could."

"Come one more, let the guy on the opposite side see, no one can guard against you."

"Hahaha, if you want to guard against Kobe, whoever is on the other side is wishful thinking."

Received such ridicule, Alexander's face turned dark purple,

Discomfort, embarrassment, dull face.

There is nothing worse than being raped in full view.

Moreover, he pulled the other party angrily.

Not far away, Alexander felt Kobe's vague gaze.

Don't look at it, it is definitely a look of contempt and contempt.

Alexander dared not meet Kobe's eyes at all.

The momentum has been completely suppressed.

At this moment, a hand was placed on Alexander's shoulder.

"Dude, isn't it just being passed once? It's no big deal. It's better than Michael Jordan, isn't it also passed?"

Hearing such comfort from Wang Xiaohui, Alexander felt a little relieved.

However, this is not the first time he has been in such a mess today, he has been fooled by Kobe many times.

Alexander was still in a bad mood.

Then, Alexander heard it.

"Alexander, have you forgotten? During the training match, I knocked you to the ground several times. Don't worry about playing, no matter what happens, you won't be so embarrassed after being knocked to the ground. "

Alexander turned around and stared fiercely at Wang Xiaohui, but his white eyes made Wang Xiaohui fail.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hearing Wang Xiaohui's laughter, Alexander patted Wang Xiaohui's back directly.

"Damn it, Wang, I'll let you see what defense is today. I can defend against Kobe today. After the game, I'll make you look good."

"Okay, if you have ambition, I'll wait for you to abuse me."

After being so provoked by Wang Xiaohui, Alexander suddenly felt much more comfortable.

Seeing Alexander regain his strength, Kobe also gave Wang Xiaohui a thoughtful look.

On the opposite side, Wang Xiaohui also returned a glance.

'Why don't you come to defend me?Are you scared? '

'Just like you, I can kill you by taking a picture of a younger brother. '

'Hehe, look at it, your little brother is completely useless in my eyes.Of course, not only your little brother, but you too. '

'Worthless?Then you can taste more of our Washington Wizards defensive package later, Alexander will not let you taste the sweetness. '

'I have eaten all kinds of ups and downs. Today, I must eat sweet.Not only do I want to eat sweet, I also want to sit on the highest place to eat! '

'Your boss is still here, are you really okay?
……

After some strange eye contact, the referee blew his whistle again.

beep!
Lakers sideline.

Fox passed Fisher the possession.

Kobe was about to come up to meet him.

Unexpectedly, that fellow Fisher took the lead directly.

'How dare he?How dare he? '

Fisher fulfilled his previous promise. After getting the ball, he didn't look at Kobe, who was stuck tightly by Alexander, but directly buried his head and killed in the hinterland of the Wizards.

Beside him, Fisher didn't see Wang Xiaohui's shadow at all.

All along, my breakthrough was too sudden, and I deceived that self-righteous guy who thought he was very smart, right?
Coming to the paint,
Inside, Haywood and Kwame Brown of the Wizards are there.

Fisher has also seen big scenes.

As far as these two big fools are concerned, Fisher is not out at all.

During the training match, he faced a behemoth like O'Neal many times.

Even if O'Neill is in front of him, he is not afraid at all.

As long as the other big man dares to come out, then I will eat you alone.

Small plays big, and speed is easily used to get rid of opponents.

However, Kwame Brown did not come out, and Heywood was also at the other end, staring at him, but did not move.

'In this case, I will let you have a taste of my peerless anti-aircraft gun! '

Anti-aircraft guns are actually high throws.

If you are small and big, if they don't come out, it is naturally impossible for you to go inside for a layup.

High throw, this is the most sensible choice.

One, two, hey!

Just when Fisher threw his hand high, Kwame Brown in the paint suddenly seized the opportunity, got out with a slop, and then bounced with a swoosh.

Then, the lob that Fisher was determined to win was scratched by Kwame Brown's fingertips.

"Wow~"

Even the Lakers are amazed at the ball at home.

'It can be covered up like this, this guy, it's too perverted, right? '

"As expected of the No. [-] pick, his physical fitness is absolutely top-notch."

"This block is amazing. Derek is still careless."

Kwame Brown didn't score and scratched the ball, and directly put it in his arms in the air.

In the first time, he played the ball and found Wang Xiaohui.

Fight back!

The Wizards' counterattack came.

Wang Xiaohui advanced in the middle, extremely fast.And Kobe's defense was also very fast.

Kobe stared at Wang Xiaohui closely, not giving Wang Xiaohui the chance to kill and score directly.

However, Wang Xiaohui has no idea of ​​eating Kobe alone.

At the far end, Alexander ran faster.

Please!

The ball went straight to Alexander at that end.

The Lakers are completely empty inside.

Excellent opportunity!
Alexander rushed inside and jumped up.

boom!
Successful dunk!

The point difference came to 7 points.

In the absence of a few minutes in the first quarter, the Lakers not only failed to catch up with the score, but were also opened up by the opponent Wizards.

"This, this, the Lakers played a bit messy today."

Both Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson in the commentary were a little afraid to speak.

Although they still support the Lakers, at this stage, or in such a round, the overall performance of the Wizards is really much better than that of the Lakers.

The Lakers are indeed a championship team, but how do you look at it, how do you feel that the Wizards' lineup is deeper and stronger?
Charles Barkley is happy.

"Wow, looking at it this way, the game is really as expected. Without Shaq, the overall strength of the Lakers seems to have been slashed, and it has dropped a lot. To be honest, the Lakers are in this game. The performance in the round, I feel, is much worse than I expected. Indeed, the Lakers are indeed the champions, but how did they come to the championship? In fact, Shaq is to a greater extent. Today’s game , the Lakers have clearly shown their dependence on Shaq. If this continues, the Lakers will be in danger. Of course, I am not talking about this game, I am talking about this season. If the playoffs Even in the finals, the opponents were crazy about Shaq. So, do the Lakers have any hope of defending their title? Do they really have a chance to build a dynasty with three consecutive championships? Anyway, today, in this game, the Wizards The team gave the Lakers a blow. This stick hurts, but it is very helpful. Maybe it is such a stick that the Lakers can wake up."

As if he heard Barkley's comments in the commentary on the field, the eyes of the Lakers players on the field were different.

Especially the gritted black mamba.

His eyes are so sharp.

It's like staring at your prey.

Everyone knew that under such circumstances, Kobe would really do something.
