full court guidance

Chapter 4

TNT TV is guessing that if he was scolded by the coach for being late, he must be replaced soon.

In fact, however, Van Gundy had no intention of substituting at all.

Returning to the stadium late and standing next to Kobe, Kobe actually took the initiative to talk: "Boy, you are lucky."

It's really disappointing to be late and don't want to talk to this small-bellied guy, who can't even make a joke.

Kobe Bryant's anger did not disappear. As soon as Atkins got the ball, Kobe used his stunt death stare.

Atkins passed the ball, and the little blacksmith was late again with the ball in singles.

In the 04-05 season, Kobe was at his peak, and no one in the entire league dared to say that he could defend Kobe—those guys who called themselves Kobe Terminator were all blown away by him in the end.

Kobe, who is going all out, can really ask for anything on the court, and the only thing that can guard him is his own touch.

In the first half of today's game, Kobe's shooting percentage was not high. Currently, he made five shots and made two hits.

But at this moment, his eyes were burning with fire, and the words "little blacksmith" stimulated his self-esteem. He decided to use crazy scoring to tell those so-called fans that he was not a little blacksmith at all!

The little blacksmith held the ball, dribbled it under his crotch, switched his left hand to his right hand, swayed his right shoulder slightly, and suddenly accelerated to break through to the right.

This action was a bit unexpected, and I was too late to prevent it.

Bryant broke into the inside and hit a two-pointer.

When he passed by late, he made a "swish" on purpose.

This stingy fellow!
I hate being late, but he is just a role player in the team now, and he doesn't have many opportunities to get the ball. This time, he didn't get the ball when he was late. Tracy McGrady also showed the superstar player With great strength, he broke through the inside tie rod and made a two-point layup.

But Late dismissed this and curled his lips.

Not to mention that this kind of action is prone to injury, and the scoring efficiency is still low. I don't know what to brag about.

The Lakers organized an offense, and Kobe was late again with the ball in singles.

This time he was late and didn't hesitate, but Kobe played with his back and took a few steps abruptly, turned around and fell back, and hit a long two-pointer.

This ball is simply a fairy ball. Being late and suffering from height and wingspan, there is no way to give enough interference, so I can only helplessly look at the ball and sigh.

In the TNT commentary seat, John Smith may have been reminded that he did not say racially discriminatory remarks again, but in his words, he still disdained being late, thinking that being late would not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA.

This kind of argument is very common. On the basketball court, as long as it is black, the media will brag that this person is black, thick, and has a tough defense.

Caucasian big men like Nowitzki, who mainly shoot shots, are reprimanded by the media as soft guys, not to mention being late as a yellow man.

If it weren't for Nowitzki who almost led the team to win the championship with a single core, he would never be able to take off his soft hat.

And later, Capela, the cake king, benefited from his tactics and his strong running and jumping ability, and became the top center in the league. The retired Paul Pierce even believed that Capela's strength was still higher than that of Yao Ming.

This is simply unreasonable. Just because Capela is black, is he stronger than Yao Ming?

Capela has no autonomous offensive ability at all, he is just a defensive blue-collar. When facing Dwight Howard, who has passed his peak, he was beaten in various ways.

On the other hand, Yao Ming has always been at an advantage against Howard at the peak. The most important thing is that Yao Ming has a strong offensive ability and can be used as the cornerstone of the team. How can he be comparable to a blue-collar player like Capela.

It can only be said that Capela just fits the small ball era. If he were to be born ten years earlier, no one would look up to him at all.

Howard was touted as the No. [-] center in the league at the beginning of his career, but Yao Ming, who was at his peak at that time, was not touted by anyone, simply because the two had different skin colors.

It is naturally impossible for him to be late to know what happened in the commentary booth. He was in a good state of mind, and he was not out of temper because of being blown up by Kobe.

With his current ability, it is true that he does not have the strength to defend against a top superstar like Kobe, and it is not that difficult to recognize the reality.

The little blacksmith with a small belly, before finishing his performance, once again took the ball and made a breakthrough. With his speed advantage, he once again reached the inside line and scored a layup.

Yes, you read that right, not only is height dominant, Kobe's speed advantage is also obvious.

At present, the only ability to be late is the three-pointer, and the defensive ability is not bad, but it is not enough to limit Kobe at his peak.

In fact, strictly speaking, late should be regarded as a heavy-duty projection 3D point guard, and speed and agility are not his strong points.

Kobe Bryant has scored seven points in a row in lateness. The current score is 12:18, and the Lakers temporarily lead.

The Rockets attacked, and McGrady once again looked for an opportunity with one-handed ball at the top of the three-point line, broke into the inside, and passed the ball to Uncle Mu.

Uncle Mu is an excellent blue-collar worker with poor scoring ability. Facing the defense of Brian Cook, who plays the guest center, Uncle Mu is not sure.

If it was in the past, he could only take the blame for this kind of ball, but now it is different. There is a super sharp shooter standing outside, and the African mountain is not stupid. Why should he take the blame and shoot without taking the assists that are so easy to get? ?

So he turned around and threw the ball to Late again.

Kobe doesn't know late shooting ability, and he is not very tight on late defense-after all, he is the number one scoring point in the Lakers. It is not impossible to attack and defend, but it is too exhausting, and it is not very good for a ball. After getting the role player, Kobe naturally relaxed his vigilance.

He was late to catch the ball, and he didn't hesitate because he was covered with a strong volleyball cap last time. He didn't see him jumping up and aiming, and he threw the ball as soon as he raised his hand.

"So fast!"

The little blacksmith only had time to let out a secret exclamation in his heart. He turned his head to look at the basket, and saw the orange-red basketball go into the net hollowly. He made a late 3-pointer and the score came to 15:18.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Kobe was late again with the ball. Unfortunately, this time the touch was not on his side. Kobe succeeded in breaking through, but because of the interference of being late, Kobe's shot spun around the basket. circle, and finally fell out.

Uncle Mu got the rebound and passed the ball to David Wesley, and the Rockets made a fast break.

The speed of being late is not very fast, but it still has an advantage compared with those big men. David Wesley saw that there was no one marking him, so he hurriedly passed the ball.

Late to catch the ball, stopped outside the Lakers three-point line, and made a chasing three-pointer.

In this era of the NBA arena, counterattacks are mainly two-point layups, and it is almost impossible to see this kind of direct three-pointer when there is no defense.

At the TNT commentary booth, they expressed their great incomprehension.

John Smith commented: "Although the goal was made late, the shot was not reasonable enough. In the case of unmarked, he should choose a more secure layup to get two points. That is not this kind of risky three-pointer. People who don’t know think that we have entered the final stage of chasing points in the fourth quarter.”

Steve Kerr continued: "Actually, I think that even in the chasing stage of the fourth quarter, this kind of chasing three-pointer is even more important. The closer to the critical moment, the more we should focus on safety. Go in, and Kobe and Caron Butler will definitely be able to grab the rebound after following up."

"Yes, in my opinion, late is a soft guy who can only shoot outside. You see, he almost never enters the three-point line. I even doubt whether he dares to enter the Lakers' basket. You know In the current Lakers team, there is only one Chris Mim who is a serious center, and the other players are cameos. Faced with this situation, he dare not enter the basket. When facing those teams with super centers , he must be even more afraid.”

No matter how much the commentary looked down on being late, the goal was scored after all, and the score was evened at 18:18.

Little Blacksmith's face was very ugly. After all, being late was his defensive player. Even if there was a reason for underestimating the enemy, being late had already scored nine points in a row, even accounting for half of the Rockets' points, which was amazing enough.

The late consecutive scoring greatly stimulated the little blacksmith, and the anger that had been temporarily subdued because of his consecutive singles successes was burning again.

He was late with the ball and entered the inside to pass the ball to the unmarked Caron Butler. Naturally, Butler would not let go of this good opportunity and hit a two-pointer.

The Rockets failed to attack, Tracy McGrady hit the iron with two points, and Brian Cook grabbed a rebound.

After the little blacksmith got the ball, he suddenly came late again, which caused a foul by Erye Huo who was defending and made two free throws.

It was the Rockets' turn to attack, but they still didn't get the ball late, Huo Erye shot from close range and hit the iron, Caron Butler grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers pushed for a fast break.

Kobe staged a big windmill dunk without marking, and opened the score again, 18:24.

In the last four seconds of the game, Tracy McGrady made a mistake and lost the ball. The Rockets made a substitution and was replaced by Andre Barrett late. Terry Brown tried a super long three-pointer to hit the buzzer.

At the end of the first quarter, the underdog Lakers took the lead.

In the second quarter, the two sides fought again. Rockets star Tracy McGrady felt extremely bad, and missed all four shots. The insider Yao Ming only got three shots and hit two goals.

Bob Sura, who refused to pass the ball to Yao Ming, unexpectedly scored the team's highest score of 9 points in this quarter, but still fell behind by 24:35 in a single quarter.

After halftime, the score between the two sides was 42:59, and the Rockets trailed by a full 17 points.

This is already a score that is almost impossible to recover for the defensive Rockets.

Throughout the first half, the blacksmith Kobe Bryant made 11 of 6 shots, including 3 of 1 points. With 1% shooting, he scored 54.4 points and was the player with the highest score on the court.

The Rockets' stats are a bit unexpected. The undrafted players scored 4 of 3 late and scored 9 points, ranking first in the Rockets' scoring list.
