Chapter 769 Exciting Los Angeles Derby (Part [-])
The Los Angeles Derby has already started, and the first round was very exciting.

After getting the first wave of offensive ball through a jump ball, Johnson missed a long-range three-pointer, Jordan got a rebound and still missed a hook, but Hill, the shortest player in the team, got an offensive rebound , hit the ball to make up for it.

The Clippers scored the first goal, which may not have been expected by many people before the game. Although this is only a 50% probability, most people still believe that the Lakers can score the first goal.

But the Lakers responded quickly.

Kobe hit Hill with his back, making Hill's defense look very passive.

Hill has tried to interfere as much as possible, but~

Kobe still completed a shot with almost no interference because of his higher release point and greater back angle.

"Clap~"

Hill's movements here are a bit too exaggerated, and he directly hit Kobe's right wrist.

"Eh~"

Kobe yelled, which could be regarded as reminding the referee.

"Beep~!!"

The referee immediately blew his whistle to "respond".

"Swipe~!!!"

At the same time, the whistle sounded and the ball scored, and Kobe scored a "2+1" as soon as he came up.

"Yeah!!!!!!"

The entire Staples cheered instantly.

Bryant's performance time began very early.

Hill shook his head with some resentment, while Kobe stared at his eyebrows, and clapped his teammates fiercely.

"It's okay~, good defense~ It would be better if the arm is lower~!"

Here, taking advantage of Kobe's preparation for a free throw, Lan Shengli called Hill over and began to teach him the opportunity face to face.

"How about using that trick directly~?!"

Hill nodded and asked suddenly.

"Let's keep that trick~~"

Lan Shengli patted Hill and responded.

Hill heard that, continued to nod his head, and went straight back to the arena.

It seems that the two of them still have some special tricks for defending Kobe.

"M~V~P~!!"

"M~V~P~!!"

In this field, the first time Kobe walked to the free throw line, the fans in the audience began to shout, which is really rare.

Perhaps it is also because this is an opening match, after all, everyone wants to get a "good start".

"Swipe~!!"

Bryant's penalty also hit steadily.

"2+1" was scored, and the Lakers took the lead.

The Clippers attacked here, and the ball was given to Harden again, while Hill sank to the bottom corner, ready to catch the ball at all times.

Facing Kobe's marking, Harden, as the No. [-] pick, needs to show some skills.

When Harden dribbled the ball under his crotch for a while without a good chance, this time it was Thornton who came to the high position to do the pick-and-roll.

This pick-and-roll was different from the previous ones. Harden made a change. Before Kobe bypassed the defense, or when the pick-and-roll happened, he immediately dribbled the ball with his left hand and accelerated towards the basket.

"When the Lakers are defending the pick-and-roll, under normal circumstances, his two inside big Gasol and Bynum will not come out to make big delays, because they want to ensure that the inside is always protected, so we can take advantage of this , When the pick-and-roll occurs, we directly make a breakthrough, even if there are two towers inside, our breakthrough can also create mobile opportunities for outside pitchers~!!"

Here, Harden thought about what Lan Shengli had said in the previous training session, and directly accelerated towards the basket without hesitation.

Because Kobe didn't expect Harden to play so resolutely, so he was directly thrown behind, and even Gasol was directly accelerated by Harden's breakthrough and fell behind by one position.

But here Bynum has already made up, and the twin towers suddenly surrounded Harden in a "cage".

Harden didn't even talk about scoring the ball, he couldn't even see where the basket was.

"Could Zen master have guessed that I would use the law of no delay in the pick-and-roll to attack the basket or break through the ball~?! This is simply a catch~!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli became worried.

"I thought the inside line was empty, but in fact, the purpose of not delaying is to prevent attacking the basket and breaking through the ball~ Zen master is amazing, he has already thought of my preparation~"

Lan Shengli looked at the Zen master sitting on the coach's bench as stable as Mount Tai, and sighed.

Lan Shengli was a little panicked, but Harden was not. Perhaps it was because of the siege of the twin towers that made Harden even more determined.

Harden held the ball directly with his left hand and leaned on Bynum's body for a layup.

Because his body was leaned on by Harden, Bynum didn't have the opportunity to take the initiative to exert force, and the defense seemed very passive.

"Crack~!!!"

However, Gasol, who was waiting behind Harden, saw this and directly slapped Harden's layup on the backboard.

"Yeah"

"Beep~!!!"

Just as the fans at Staples Center were about to celebrate this wonderful pegboard block, the referee's whistle sounded inappropriately.

The referee whistled Bynum's blocking foul firmly.

And Gasol directly collided with Harden because of huge inertia, and Harden took Bynum down.

The three of them fell on the floor outside the baseline like "stacked arhats".

"Hush~!!!"

Although there were a lot of physical confrontations, the fans did not buy the whistleblowing, and the fans booed instantly.

Harden's "heroic" layup received "sympathy points" from the referee, and Harden had the opportunity to score the first goal of his NBA career through free throws.

However, the defense of the Lakers is indeed successful. If Harden makes such a challenge next time, I am afraid that there will be no such calls.

"It is not easy for Harden to make a layup by relying on Bynum in such a limited space and time. It can be seen that Harden is in good condition. Fortunately, he is not injured~ !! This action is indeed too dangerous~”

Seeing Harden being pulled up by his teammates, Lan Shengli immediately sighed.

"He bumped into me on his own initiative~?! How could I block it~?!"

Here Bynum is still discussing with the referee.

But Harden is already standing at the free throw line, ready to make a free throw.

"Clap~Clap~Clap~"

It is still a habitual three-dribble adjustment, aiming at the basket and grabbing the ball well.

"Whoo~"

Breathe out and relax.

Standing on tiptoes, lift the ball from the waist position, and the moment it is lifted above the head, the ball is thrown.

Harden has practiced this set of free throws in past basketball training, and he does not know how many times he has fantasized about making free throws in the NBA.

Now all this has come true.

"Swipe~!!!"

Accompanied by a pleasant sound of brushing the blue, Harden scored the first point of his NBA career.

The NBA career of the new No. [-] pick officially started from this moment.

The exciting Los Angeles Derby is also getting better, and an even more exciting duel is yet to come.
