Chapter 3 Loud Slap

The task of being late was to defend the little blacksmith. Kobe Bryant's desire to shoot was not very strong in the first few minutes, and his hand feeling was not very good. Van Gundy had high hopes for being late.

In fact, the better candidate to defend Kobe Bryant should be McGrady. In terms of physical fitness alone, McGrady may be higher than Kobe. In the two seasons just entered the league, McGrady made his debut as a defensive player in the Raptors of.

It's a pity that after joining the Magic with a high salary, McGrady quickly transformed into an offensive star player. Whether it is defensive willingness or defensive ability, there is not much left now, and the Rockets mainly focus on half-court battles. The number of offenses is relatively small, and McGrady's scoring ability averaging about 25 points per game is more important for the Rockets.

After playing, Yao Ming walked over before the ball was kicked off, and patted his late head: "Brother, don't be nervous, just keep up with your people, if you catch the ball, just shoot, I'm at the basket. "

Late came to Kobe's side, the little blacksmith just looked at him silently, for this unknown guy, Kobe expressed no interest in talking to him.

Atkins has the ball, sees a nobody guarding Kobe, and passes it over.

Unexpectedly, McGrady was already prepared, and suddenly accelerated and rushed up, cutting off the pass.

The Lakers immediately retreated and did not give the Rockets a chance to break fast.

Tracy McGrady held the ball in the half court, waited for Yao Ming to enter the basket, and passed the ball, but was double-teamed by Lamar Odom and Caron Butler, making a mistake and lost the ball.

The Lakers counterattacked, but the speed was not fast. After halftime, the Rockets had already set up their defensive formation, and turned to the halftime landing. The ball was finally passed to Chris Mim, Huo Erye jumped high, fuck it Basketball dream, gave Chris Mim a big hat.

It's a pity that the ball didn't go far, and Odom grabbed the rebound, and the second offensive goal was scored. The score between the two sides was 7:8, and the Lakers took the lead.

Offensive and defensive exchanges, this time the ball did not pass to Yao Ming, giving Huo Erye a better chance, Zhuwan Howard was also severely blocked by Chris Mim.

Then Odom assisted Atkins and hit a three-pointer, and the score became 7:11.

McGrady was eager to tie the score. He held the ball with one hand at the three-point line, and suddenly pulled it out.

After that, the two sides fought continuously, and the score remained unchanged.

During this period of time, the Lakers unexpectedly did not attack late. It seems that Kobe's desire to attack in this game is indeed not very strong.

Late followed him all the time, and for more than two minutes, he didn't even touch the ball.

At 4:30, Caron Butler broke through with the ball. Yao Ming fouled and was replaced by Mutombo. Butler made two free throws and the score became 7:13.
For a half-court offense like the Rockets, the 6-point difference is not small for a team with two points in the half. However, misfortunes never come singly. David Wesley made a mistake and the ball went to Kobe Bryant.

Seeing him taking the ball late, I hurriedly stuck it on, interfering with the strength and preventing him from adjusting his posture comfortably.

He positions himself as a 3D player, three-pointers are his special skill, and his defensive ability is actually not weak. At least in the current Rockets team, the late defensive level is above the average-this is the league's defensive efficiency. The former rocket.

But his real height is only 187cm. When facing Kobe, he suffers from both height and wingspan. Even in terms of strength, Kobe is very strong.

After Kobe retired, domestic online novels blacked him out, but it is undeniable that Kobe was really strong in his peak period. A defender who can play back in the paint must not be weak.

Kobe turned around with the ball, shook his left shoulder slightly, and made a gesture to break through to the left. He was not fooled for being late, and continued to give strength to fight.

Unexpectedly, Kobe was suddenly turned around again, his back was late, and he turned around with his left foot as the axis and dribbled through.

After all, being late is still inexperienced, not to mention facing the peak Kobe, and he couldn't guard against it immediately, but he didn't give up and immediately chased after him.

After Kobe broke through, he took off near the free throw line and made a two-point shot. The lateness slightly interfered, and Kobe Bryant hit an iron.

The old Uncle Mu's rebounding strength has not weakened much, he jumped up and put the rebound in his arms, and then passed the ball to David Wesley.

Kobe Bryant was expressionless, turned and retreated.

Seeing his nonchalant look, Late finally couldn't control his agitated heart. He wanted to get angry, and while running with Kobe, he said in a low voice: "Hey, Kobe, you are my idol, you are very popular in China , the fans gave you a nickname called Little Blacksmith."

After the last failed season and the Eagle County incident, Kobe Bryant's popularity in the United States was extremely low, and the media criticized him, but now he heard the players in the same field say that he is his idol, and he suddenly felt good , asked: "Oh? Really? What does that mean?"

"It means that your shooting posture is picturesque, and the thud of the basket is like forging iron, so you are called a little blacksmith."

Kobe Bryant uses his special skill Death Gaze on Late.

Feeling the threat of death, Late looked at Kobe with a smile.

"You will regret this."

While talking, McGrady held the ball with one hand at the top of the three-point line, found an opportunity to break through to the inside, and immediately passed the ball to Erye Huo after attracting double-teams.

Kobe suddenly abandoned his defensive goal, turned around and rushed towards the second master.

Facing the imminent double-team, Er Ye calmly passed the ball to Late.

Impressed, it has been 3 minutes since I played, and I ran back and forth seven or eight times, and this is the first time I have touched the ball.

Late only had the basket in his eyes, and he made a three-pointer.

With his ability, when no one is defending, a three-point shot means a must.

However, there is one person who doesn't think so, and he is Kobe Bryant.

The little blacksmith is currently at his peak, and his athletic ability is amazing. At the same time as the second master passed the ball, he has already turned around quickly, stepped over in two steps, and jumped high.

At this time, Late had just shot, and the height of the basketball was just right.

There was only a loud bang, and Kobe Bryant gave a late smash cap!

At this time, the TNT TV commentary seat had jumped up excitedly, and John Smith shouted hoarsely: "It's Kobe, Kobe gave that Asian softie a volleyball cap! Late is too weak, he is like a bitch, in the There was no resistance in front of Kobe, and he got what he wanted."

John Smith's words already had obvious racial discrimination, and his partner hurriedly interrupted him: "I don't think it can be blamed for being late. After all, he is just a non-draft rookie. We can't ask for more from him. I don't understand Why did the Rockets pay so much attention to him and let him play early in such a critical first quarter, when facing Kobe, the two of them have an absolute gap in strength, Coach Van Gundy's replacement is questionable."

Late's face was so dark that water dripped out, he didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.

But the bad news is not only that, Bryan Grant, who had just played for less than 1 minute, picked up the basketball, waited deliberately, and then gave the ball to Kobe.

Kobe ignored the late defense and hit a shot from outside the three-point line.

"Boy, this is the fate of irritating me, it's not over yet!"

The little blacksmith had a grim look on his face, staring at Late fiercely.

Humiliated for being late, he seemed helpless and lonely. After a while, only Uncle Mu came over and touched his head, which was considered comforting, and everyone else seemed indifferent.

Chi Lai squeezed his fists hard, a smile unexpectedly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured in a low voice: "Sure enough, basketball is really interesting."

Uncle Mu served the ball from the baseline to David Wesley, and he was already beckoning to David Wesley when he was late: "Pass it to me, pass it to me."

There is no one who dares to open his hand to ask for the ball as a rookie.

David Wesley hesitated for a moment, remembering the terrifying range of being late, he passed the ball helplessly.

He didn't make any adjustments at all when he was late, and he raised his hand and threw the ball.

At this time, the commentary seat of TNT TV station was reminiscing about Kobe Bryant's unreasonable three-pointer just now. Seeing that he was late and threw the ball in his own half, John Smith immediately fired again: "It's really just a case of being late." An asian trash, a soft-ass bitch, who got fucked by Kobe and broke herself..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a swish, and the ball went in!The score between the two sides was 10:14, and Kobe's three-pointer was offset.

John Smith was stunned, and his partner Steve Kerr rushed to the rescue: "Unbelievable, it seemed like a self-defeating shot, and it was thrown into the basket. This is a shot near the bottom line of the team. He is lucky That's great. I think this ball is likely to become one of the five best balls today. But I think he needs to be tempered for being late, and his mentality needs to be adjusted. Facing a superstar player like Kobe, it's normal to be blown up The thing, what he should do is to adjust his mentality, devote all his energy to the basketball court, and strive to show his full strength, instead of throwing the ball indiscriminately."

As the scorer who was late, his expression was very flat at this time, as if he was not the one who scored the goal.

But Van Gundy immediately called him to his side and hooked his neck firmly: "Hey, boy, I know your range is amazing, and I also know that you want to prove yourself very strongly. You can rest assured that I can give You have a lot of time to prove yourself, but your backcourt shooting ability must not be used easily, at least in the regular season, you have to hide it, this is likely to become our life-saving straw at the critical moment of the playoffs, you Do you understand me?"

Late immediately nodded: "Okay, coach, I understand. From now on, I will only start shooting when I enter the opponent's half. Is this okay?"

"No, no, no! You must shoot within two meters of the opponent's three-point line..."

After saying this, Van Gundy felt very strange. Two meters from the three-point line has become a regular shooting range. It is estimated that only aliens can do it.

However, what he didn't know was that more than ten years later, the super long three-pointer two meters from the three-point line has already become a routine scoring method. A certain guy nicknamed Ritian also has an astonishing close to 50%. Three-point shooting percentage.
