Chapter 6 The strongest rookie performance time in history
Late this time did not allow Kobe to break through successfully, deliberately put a little distance, the little blacksmith made a sudden stop for a jumper, Late pounced on it to interfere, and hit an iron.

The Rockets still pushed the position, and when Yao Ming settled inside, McGrady held the ball at the top of the arc and broke through Caron Butler, then passed the ball to Huo Erye.

Juwan Howard is the league's first [-] million yuan contract winner. At his peak, he barely had the strength of an All-Star, but now his strength is no more than one in ten. He can only be regarded as a qualified role player. Dom, pass inside to Yao Ming, and pull Odom away by the way.

Because he made several shots from the three-point line before he was late, and they all hit, Kobe thought his hand was hot and he couldn't let it go easily, so he didn't dare to choose to double-team Yao Ming.

This allowed Yao Ming to single-handedly hit Chris Mim in the interior. He held the ball with his back, shook his right shoulder lightly, swung his upper body to the left, then suddenly turned to the right and turned to the baseline. He hit a short-range jumper and scored 57:74. The point difference came to 17 points.

At this time, the head coach of the Lakers is the Rockets' meritorious coach Tomjanovich, who has been with the Rockets for 34 years! Before the 03-04 season, he coached the Rockets for 12 seasons, and won two consecutive championships in the two seasons of 94 and 95. He is an outstanding figure of the Rockets.

His coaching ability has been generally recognized in the industry, and it can be said that he has devoted himself to the cultivation of Yao Ming.

It's a pity that Tomjanovich had to resign as head coach due to physical reasons. After recovering physically, Rockets general manager Carol Dawson was unwilling to let Tomjanovich return to the team to coach. The Big Four of the Lakers fell apart, and Tomjanovich picked up the coach again, but he was no longer the head coach of the Rockets.

Seeing the Rockets' tactical changes, Tomjanovich frowned involuntarily, feeling very complicated, and then decisively called a timeout.

During the timeout, he arranged the team's tactics, re-emphasized the double-team defense against Yao Ming, and asked Kobe to put more pressure on the offensive end.

After returning from the timeout, Kobe was late for a single with the ball again.

Such an undrafted player is still a Chinese player who is obviously at a disadvantage in physical fitness. The Rockets still did not choose to double-team, allowing Kobe to get whatever he wants for being late.

Kobe has rich experience and a variety of attack methods. No rookie like late can easily guard against him. However, with the tall Yao Ming sitting inside, Kobe is also afraid of his defensive ability and dare not easily get to the basket. Hit another shot from distance.

The Rockets attacked, and just after halftime, they said something in Chinese to Yao Ming. Yao Ming nodded to show that he received it.

McGrady held the ball at the top of the three-point arc, bent forward, passed the ball from his right hand to his left, and suddenly passed it late.

Yao Ming came up quietly and blocked Kobe's defensive line. With the help of Yao Ming's huge body, he made another three-point shot and scored 21 points, all from outside the three-point line.

Looking back, he was chased crazily for points continuously, and only half of the 28-point difference was left in a blink of an eye. Kobe's mentality was a little impatient, and he hit the iron against the late defense from outside the three-point line.

The comparable three-point shooting rate this season is not high, averaging 5.9 shots per game, hitting 2 goals, and shooting 33.9%.

Don't get me wrong, this is really not black, don't use the black mamba to compare with those future three-point shooters, Kobe's main scoring method is still concentrated in the three-point line, three-pointers are not his strengths, the god of basketball Jordan His three-point shooting percentage is much lower than that of Kobe.

The Rockets' offense is still a familiar routine. Finally, the ball is passed to Yao Ming. Chris Mim singles, Kobe double-teams, Yao Ming passes the ball, and fires from outside the three-point line again late, making a hit!

24 points in a single game, 9 of 8 three-pointers!

This kind of performance is crazy. Never before has a rookie player played such an amazing performance in his debut game.

John Smith, who was in the TNT commentary booth, was speechless. Before, he looked down on Late in various ways, despised Late as Asian trash, and should go back to Asia, but Late slapped everyone in the face with his performance.

"It's unbelievable that the Rockets are closing in on the score. It's only 11 points. This is an epic game. If the Rockets can come back, this game will definitely go down in the history books. Let's look forward to the Rockets. next performance."

Kobe performed brilliantly in this game, and his shooting percentage was not low. He has scored 33 points so far, but the lateness seems to be an understatement for a few three-pointers, which suppressed his performance.

As the descendant of the basketball god and the spokesperson of the Mamba, how could the little blacksmith tolerate a rookie dominating his head.

He decided to put more pressure on the late players on the offensive end, so that he had to focus more on defense. As long as he can consume his energy, his three-point shooting percentage will definitely drop.

Just after halftime, Kobe asked for the ball, Atkins had no choice but to pass the ball, and then pulled away, allowing Kobe to continue to be late for singles.

Kobe's efficiency in scoring points for being late is not low. If he is not afraid of Yao Ming's defensive pressure inside, it can be said that he is accurate in one shot.

However, the problem is that Kobe's touch seems to have dropped. This time he easily broke through the late defense, scored two big points, and hit another iron.

The rebound was grabbed by Odom and passed to Caron Butler. Butler raised his hand and scored two points. 63:76, the Lakers broke the scoring drought.

Chi Lai, who had been broken through, touched his chest, almost feeling out of breath, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, this elbow is really cruel."

The Rockets attack, the routine remains the same, McGrady breaks through and passes the ball late. The lateness may be because the consecutive hits are a bit inflated, or he is eager to save the face of being repeatedly broken. He faced Kobe's defense and directly forced a shot.

How could Kobe give him such an arrogant opportunity, jumping high and slapping him with a big slap, block hi +1.

Kobe got 2 blocked shots in this game, all of which came from being late.

Fortunately, the Rockets didn't lose the ball. The ball was fanned out of bounds. David Wesley served McGrady out of bounds, and McGrady changed hands and stuffed it into the late hand.

This rookie is unusual, his mentality is so good that he explodes, he shoots the ball as soon as he catches the ball, and he doesn't care about Kobe's black face in front of him.

"Shua!" A three-pointer was scored, the score was 66:76, and the difference was only 10 points.

With 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the third quarter, the advantage of the Lakers is not much.

Kobe was hacked miserably. Another reason is that he took a lot of shots and his efficiency value is not ranked high in the league, which means that this person has a very unique style of play.

However, this is not the case in fact. At least the current Kobe style of play is very reasonable. Although the point difference is being closed, and Kobe is also angry because of the amazing performance of the late draft pick, he still finds opportunities rationally and breaks through. The ball was given to Atkins on the outside. Atkins lived up to expectations this time and hit a shot from outside the three-point line. The score became 66:79.

The Rockets attack, the starting point remains the same, David Wesley passes the ball to McGrady, McGrady fails to dribble and passes to the second master, the second master passes to Yao Ming, Yao Ming faces the double-team and is late to the outside line.

Late raised his hand to make a shooting motion. Kobe rushed over with all his strength, but Late gave way to the side. The ball was passed to the inside again. The classic routine of inside and outside is also Late's first attempt to pass the ball!
At this time, all the defensive players around Yao Ming were removed. He caught the ball and shot immediately. Chris Mim had been replaced. Lamar Odom, who played as a guest center, rushed over to defend and fouled. Yao Ming hit 2+1.

Yao Ming missed the free throw, Caron Butler got the defensive rebound, and the ball passed to Kobe.

Kobe received the ball and passed it back to Atkins. Unexpectedly, McGrady suddenly popped out, stealing +1.

Before the other players could react, McGrady flicked his hand, and the ball was sent two steps outside the three-point line. He didn't hesitate, and fired three shots again.

This kind of unguarded ball, during training, he can maintain a [-]% hit rate, no matter in any corner of the court, he can easily do it, and it is impossible to give up this opportunity if he is late at this time. points hit.

The late debut performance has reached 10 out of 9, with 27 personal points, and currently tops the scoring list of the Rockets, with 52 seconds left at the end of the third quarter.

Kobe chose to attack quickly and hit a three-pointer against the late defense. The score became 71:82, and the point difference was still 11 points.

The Rockets' offense, Yao Ming and Late's internal and external routines, made the Lakers very afraid. They devoted a lot of energy to these two people. McGrady seized the opportunity to get inside and easily layup.

The Lakers attacked, Atkins gave the ball to Kobe after halftime, and Kobe was late for singles with the ball.

Today he has already abused being late thousands of times, and he doesn't mind continuing to come a thousand times.

The late defense was not considered a success, but Kobe succeeded in breaking through. Fortunately, Yao Ming was guarding the inside line, and Kobe was a little apprehensive.

With the last 19 seconds left in the third quarter, the Rockets pressed the attack time, and the Lakers defended very hard. The Rockets did not find a good shot.

In the last 5 seconds, David Wesley passed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming had a deep back inside, and Lamar Odom couldn't stand him.

In desperation, Kobe had to give up being late and choose to double-team.

Sure enough, Yao Ming passed to the outside line without hesitation and was late to catch the ball with 2 seconds left.

Kobe rushed out in a hurry. At this time, he was late and had already made a shot. He could only give a slight disturbance, but failed to produce any effect. The goal was scored!

Late for the 10th three-pointer in a single game, 12 of 10 three-pointers.

The referee whistled and the third quarter ended. The score was 74:82, with the Lakers leading by 8 points.

In the third quarter, the Rockets scored 32 points and the Lakers scored 23 points. This does not seem to be an unacceptable score.

However, only those who have watched this game will know that the Rockets only scored 5 points in the first 2 minutes of the third quarter!The remaining 27 points were scored in the next 7 minutes.

Just one person late scored 21 points and hit 7 three-pointers.

This should be the most amazing undrafted debut ever, right?

PS: I received a short message from the signing site. I really didn't expect that after only 5 chapters, I could sign a contract?Can I make a wave of 666 for myself?
