Chapter 77 The Kobe Bryant Show

It is said to be the home court of the Clippers, but seeing the situation in the stadium, except for the floor representing the home court of the Clippers at the Staples Center, it is hard to believe that this is now the home court of the Clippers.

Now An Sheng can't help but think of a saying that used to describe the Clippers, "A home game is like an away game, and an away game is like a cemetery." Before, An Sheng felt that this sentence was exaggerated, but when I met the Lakers today, this sentence is true. The description is really fucking apt.Obviously it is his home court, and he found that players wearing the Lakers No. 24 jersey can be seen almost everywhere, all over the mountains and plains.

The Clippers still played a little smart on their home court. They used a huge curtain to cover the Lakers' 16 championship banners and almost all the retired jerseys of the ancient gods. Compared with the historical giants of the Lakers, the Clippers I just can't get my hands on it.

Lakers starting lineup: Point guard: Derek Fisher, shooting guard: Kobe Bryant, small forward: Ron Artest, power forward: Pau Gasol, center: Andrew Bai nam.When Kobe Bryant played, he even got a higher voice than Anson and Blake Griffin. Anson and Blake Griffin had to look at each other and smile helplessly. This is the super giant influence. .

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers were very used to their running positions and tactics. They were familiar with everything except the floor. Even the audience was the same group of people they often met on home court. They were familiar Hollywood stars and rich people in Los Angeles. , They were all familiarly greeting the Lakers players.

Pau Gasol receives a pass from Kobe Bryant at the free throw line.This is the position he likes, and it is in this place that he averaged 5 assists per game for the Lakers.Holding the ball at a high position, he is relatively tall at the 4th position, and has a good vision, so that he can take on the task of supporting the high position very well.

Kobe Bryant's air cut, the speed of the air cut is very fast, very fast, the moment he catches the ball, he is about to throw the shot directly, but the corner of his eye suddenly shrinks, and he sees a black shadow coming from top to bottom , one stop, one lean, one shot.The referee blew the whistle decisively, and An Sheng fouled the shot.An Sheng's annoyance had no way to undo the foul.

"Rookie, the basketball game is not about jumping higher." Kobe Bryant had a smile on his face, but behind this smile, he was far from as calm as he showed. The speed is very surprising. Even if there is a pick-and-roll from his teammates, he can rush over the moment he catches the ball, and he is almost given a big hat on his head by this rookie. If this is the result, even if An Sheng just won Even Rookie of the Month won't work.

Kobe Bryant began to intentionally strengthen his personal offense, and he could feel that the rookie in front of him was a very good opponent.

An Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the basketball in Kobe Bryant's hands. Just in June this year, he led the Lakers to two consecutive championships and won the second Finals MVP. Facing such a superstar, It is absolutely impossible to say that he is not nervous, but he is afraid. He is eager to face such an opponent. This is the best supplement to his weak single-defense ability in defense.

"Rookie, let me see how fast you are." Kobe Bryant kept smiling.Although he is 32 years old, his physical fitness is still very good because of his well-maintained body.

Dribbling with his back against An Sheng, his back-and-back step-back jumper was very threatening, and An Sheng didn't dare to stay too far away.A turn, an acceleration, the connection between these two movements is very beautiful and perfect, and the body is separated by half in an instant.

But An Sheng did not give up. He is now taller and faster than Kobe Bryant. Even if he is a little behind him, he is confident to block his shot.

"Wow, pull, beautiful pull, Ann's defense is like hitting the air, let him feel uncomfortable." Charles Barkley's voice echoed, above the court, Kobe Bryant's offense is unmatched block.

Kenny Smith also echoed: "Indeed, I have to say that after Allen and Tracy have aged, there are not many people who can use such a beautiful lever. His body is completely shrinking. Form into a ball and then open up sharply."

The call for Kobe Bryant's "MVP" sounded from the sidelines. This is not a place, but this voice has drowned almost the entire audience.These calls made the Clippers players feel embarrassed, but there was nothing they could do.

The first half of the game was just over, and An Sheng's head was already dripping with sweat. Defending Kobe Bryant was really a strenuous job.The problem is that even though he expended a lot of energy, he didn't do a good job on this one thing. He scored 4 points on 3 of 8 shots. This is what Kobe Bryant handed over in just 6 minutes transcript.

This is the third superstar he has encountered on the defensive end. Among the first two, Carmelo Anthony bullied Anson with his hips and tentative steps for a whole game, making him want to strengthen his confrontation .

And Paul Pierce and Kobe Bryant let him understand that to defend well, not only requires excellent physical fitness, but also requires a wealth of experience, and experience can only be met every night of the game. Opposite the man who almost attracted all the spotlights.

The game entered the first timeout, and Kobe Bryant's outstanding performance did not help the team bring a huge lead, because the Clippers and the Lakers are two teams with opposing styles.

The Lakers team, like the Celtics they met before, is an absolute offensive and defensive team. It has the highest three striker line in the league. When Lamar Odom and Paul When Saul and Andrew Bynum were on the court at the same time, his inside line seemed impenetrable in positional battles, and there was no chance for the Clippers to rush in and attack.

However, in another way, the Lakers obviously have nothing to do with the multi-pass outside shots and quick counterattacks.

Eric Gordon blocked Andrew Bynum's [-]-pointer after a single block.

After 7 or 8 passes, Anson finally found an open three-pointer at the bottom corner.

On the counterattack, Anson passed Blake Griffin's ultra-long quarterback pass, which directly allowed them to dunk.

Even if we suffer the same treatment as an away game at home, even if we face last year's championship, we will not give in.
