Chapter 81

Now the score is 58:52, and the Rockets still lead by 6 points.

But obviously Mr. Joe Crawford was not very satisfied with this. Kobe attacked with the ball again, and he was still not afraid to give a strong physical confrontation when he was late. With some special skills, Kobe's force was also not so comfortable.

The whole world knows that Crawford is a Laker honey, but he also has his own set of small rules. He is very good at grasping the context of the league's top management, and he also knows that if he continues to whistle wildly, he will be sent off for being late. The exciting level of the game will definitely be greatly reduced, and the president will definitely wear shoes for him.

So Crawford decided to take a break and let the Lakers and Rockets play normally for a while.

Kobe had no distractions and didn't care what the referee was thinking at all. He lowered his center of gravity and made false shots.

This action was very sudden, I didn't expect to be late, and I was fooled.

But he jumped on it hard, and his arm hit Kobe's arm directly.

Kobe's ball has a good rhythm. The ball crossed a flat and fast straight line in the air, and hit the inside of the back basket.

But Kobe immediately signaled to Joe Crawford that the ball was fouled and his shooting cylinder was violated.

Crawford ignored, indicating that the goal was valid and no penalty was added.

Kobe smiled helplessly and threw up his hands for being late.

The two began to score points from the third quarter, and they had mobilized the fans' emotions. The Staples Center fell into a frenzied atmosphere. When Kobe succeeded in the singles late, the scene immediately rang "MVP" and "MVP" cheer!

Kobe's popularity this year is really gone, even at other teams' home courts, there are often fans chanting MVP!

To be honest, he did show MVP-level strength this year, which is worthy of fans' affirmation.

The Rockets attacked and were late to receive a pass from their teammate. Under Kobe's strict marking, there was no good chance, and finally gave the ball to David Lee in the middle distance.

CIC Liangzi doesn't know how to read the atmosphere. He told him when he was late at the start of today's game that if he is left empty and has a chance, he must not hesitate to shoot at any time.

David Lee scored two points for the Rockets from mid-range, 60:55!

The Rockets retreated, and Kobe caught up late: "Are you scared? I know that your physical strength is not enough to support you to play the whole game, so the purpose of saving your physical strength in the first half is to compete with you in the second half. Do you want Abandon the duel between us?"

Late curled his lips and said: "Basketball is a team sport. Even you and I have to admit that we cannot win the game by relying on one's ability alone. And the rational use of teammates is not just to reduce the intensity of defense we face ?"

"Very well, it seems that you have not flinched."

Bryant's response was completely different, he received the ball outside the three-point line, saw that he was late and stepped back a little, and he was not very strict with his own shooting.

This made Kobe quite upset, and his late attitude made it clear that he looked down on his three-pointers.

I, the Mamba, never knew what fear was, thinking I was inaccurate with three-pointers?Then I'll let you see how good my three-pointer is.

I saw the mamba raised its butt slightly, raised its arm halfway and aimed at the basket, then took off high, straightened its arm and threw the ball out.

Being late or jumping up and blocking eyes interferes, the effect is not obvious.

Eye-closing defense is the trick of Grizzlies small forward Sean Battier. He has strong defensive ability and a corner three-pointer. He can be regarded as a representative figure among future 3D players.

However, the closed-eye defense will not only not increase the stats of the defensive players, in fact, the impact on those top players is also very limited.

Players who have really trained their shooting to the top rely on their touch when shooting, not their eyes at all. Even if their eyes are covered, it is difficult to really affect their shooting.

Kobe feels hot today and is in excellent condition, but his three-pointer is really not particularly stable. He did take half a step late, just to make it clear that he looks down on Kobe's three-pointer. The purpose of provoking Kobe with words before is also obvious.

Brother Snake missed the ball. The ball hit the front basket and bounced very far.

A player's shooting stability does not simply depend on his shooting percentage, but on his shooting position.

Kobe's three-pointers are unstable because when he shoots, the ball's landing point is almost completely different, and it is possible to be front, rear, left, and right.

The late three-pointer is different, even if it is not scored, most of the time it bounces on the back basket.

The Rockets' lineup didn't protect the rebounds very well. Cook picked up the rebound and made his second offensive goal.

Today he is in excellent form, just looking at the statistics is like a superstar, not much inferior to Kobe.

But I didn't care about being late, and sprayed trash talk at Kobe: "You are not late!"

This sentence has a stalk. Kobe scored 81 points against the Raptors before, and he was stimulated by Rodney Rogers. Rogers used this sentence to provoke Kobe after he missed a three-pointer.

But trash talk also has to divide people. Kobe has a good sensory impression of being late, not to mention he still has a lot of good things that are important to players in his hands. Kobe can't be so stupid that he treats him as an enemy. Laughed, and replied: "late never late!"

Now these two sentences have become the most representative words in the league lately.

Many defensive players will say the former sentence when they are deliberately trying to stimulate opponents to shoot more three-pointers (in this day and age, most players are not very good at three-pointers).Once the provoked player makes a three-pointer, he will respond with the following sentence.

So let's talk about Kobe, although he has a higher number of irons, and although the relationship with his teammates is not very good, he is really not a brain-dead!He just has too much desire to win and puts all his energy into basketball.

Late didn't expect Kobe to respond to him like this, so he laughed too.

The score was very close, and Van Gundy on the sidelines couldn't sit still, hesitating whether to call a timeout.

Yao Ming and McGrady were very patient, talking and laughing, apparently not paying attention to the anxious score on the court.

Late once again carried the banner of the Rockets' offense. This time he still didn't get a good chance, but with his super fast shooting speed, after receiving a pass from his teammate, he ignored Kobe's defense and shot a three-pointer. Two-step ultra-long three-pointer, the goal is scored!With a score of 63:57, the Lakers' momentum of chasing points still needs to be maintained.

Both sides seem to have no plans to change players, so the team will be led by a single core, and each other will attack and defend.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Rockets still led by 72 points with 66:[-], which gave the Lakers a feeling of powerlessness.

The game entered an official timeout and returned to the bench late. Scott Padgett, a marginal member of the team, immediately served water and towels and completed a two-hit combo.

Van Gundy continued to hand over the tactical board to Late: "How do you plan to arrange the next offense?"

Late shrugged his shoulders: "I plan to score with Kobe..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at McGrady and Yao Ming: "As the saying goes, the law is not taught to the six ears, but I don't like to talk around a lot, so I'll just say it straight. Today's game between us and the Lakers, what the league wants to see is me The competition for the scoring title with Kobe, so I plan to respond to the expectations of the league."

Yao Ming and McGrady were both smart, and immediately understood the meaning of being late, and said with a smile, "It happens that we haven't fully recovered from our injuries. Since you are willing to take responsibility, let's fight more."

Subsequent adjustments were made late, with Mutombo on and David Wesley on.

After the substitution, the Rockets' defensive ability has improved significantly, but the focus of this game has always been on Late and Kobe, the two players with the most explosive scoring ability this season.

The two did not live up to the expectations of the fans. You come and go, and under their leadership, the two sides played inextricably.

At his peak, Kobe had the ability to lead the team into the playoffs alone. It is precisely because he has such an ability and often has high-scoring performances that make him the most popular in the league. top stars.

Being late is no different. He leads a lineup that is weaker than the Lakers, and his record is actually better. It's a pity that although his scoring ability is strong, his scoring methods are a bit single. It makes people feel a little tired after watching too much .

Moreover, being late as a Chinese puts him at a natural disadvantage in the competition with Kobe. Americans hope to be late, but they hope to see Kobe be able to overcome lateness and win the final competition.

In the third quarter, both sides were very concentrated on the ball. On the Lakers side, Kobe scored 27 points in a single quarter, and the other teammates scored 7 points in total!
The Rockets scored 28 points in a single quarter late, and the other teammates scored 6 points in total!
Both of them showed the world the ultimate single-core leadership ability, but in general, although the core style of play is different, the two sides are evenly matched in terms of scoring.

However, being late is not satisfied with this. If it is just a pure scoring performance, he is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

In terms of team leadership ability, his three-point shooting method based on off-ball play is indeed far inferior to Kobe's sudden shooting combined with leading teammates.

This also made late start to face himself, and he is determined to develop the ability to hold the ball this summer.

The top stars in the league are almost all players who combine sudden shooting.

LeBron James has comprehensive skills, whether it is passing or breakthrough, he is very threatening. Because of his lack of shooting ability, he is not yet a superstar.

In fact, the same is true for being late now. The pure shooting ability can only make him very explosive in scoring, and has little effect on driving his teammates.

The reason why he was able to succeed in the Rockets, in fact, Van Gundy should take the lead!
Although Van Gundy lacks the ability to develop offensive tactics, he has turned the Rockets into a strong defensive team. Almost any player on the team has a very good defensive ability, precisely because of the support of these defensive players , Late to rely on outside three-pointers to bring the Rockets one victory after another.
