Chapter 184 Two Center Forwards?

……

"Kobe, you switch defenses with Farmar, and you come face to face with that Asian kid!"

On the sidelines of the Lakers team, Zen Master said seriously,

"Before that, I underestimated that Asian kid. I really should have let you guard him earlier."

According to the Zen master Phil Jackson,
Although Du Qi has outstanding personal ability, in addition to his speed and unpredictable footwork on the offensive end,
His offense is really full of loopholes!
So he thought,

It would be a waste if the Lakers' ace Kobe were to defend Dookie!
but now……

He doesn't think so anymore!
Duke is a genius basketball player!

Even if a genius has huge shortcomings, it still can't stop his talent!Can't stop his offensive scoring!
"I see!"

Kobe nodded, "I will definitely make that kid stop scoring!"

Kobe's statement greatly encouraged the Lakers players.

This is the charm of soul characters!

"If necessary, Farmar, Gasol, please help Kobe."

"Okay, coach!"

"understand!"

……

When playing again, the Lakers have the ball.

Gasol made a mid-range shot and the ball came to the Knicks.

After Du Qi received the ball, he slowly dribbled towards the half court.

When Du Qi passed halftime, Kobe stood up and stepped forward to defend Du Qi.

This scene,
Look in the eyes of fans:

"Zen Master asked Kobe to defend Asia Du!"

"It should have been like this a long time ago! If I were a Zen master, I regret that I did this too late."

"Kobe VS Asia Du!"

"Let me just say, the leading stars of the two teams are finally confronting each other!"

"The fun is about to begin!"

"..."

As the fans expected, when Du Qi saw Kobe defending himself, Du Qi became highly concentrated:

"Finally, Ace vs. Ace."

"..."

Kobe is so disdainful, ace?

He really dared to put gold on his face... He couldn't help but replied: "In my eyes, you are not a trump card."

Kobe is the truth.

For a star of his level, the trump card in his mind should be a star of the level of Jordan, Chamberlain, and Magic Johnson...

As for Duke?

Ha ha!

"It's okay, one day, I will be the ace in your eyes."

What Du Qi said was to speed up the dribbling rhythm.

Boom!

Du Qi broke through from Kobe's left side, and Kobe's defense was in place.When Du Qi drives the rhythm, stops suddenly or turns around, Kobe can quickly follow up,

For a time,

Bryant's defense made Ducci a little overwhelmed.

But at the same time, it also aroused Du Qi's competitive heart.

"I can't break through, but I want to pass you Kobe!"

Seeing that Bryant defended very well, Jordan Farmar and Pau Gasol were not prepared to step forward to help.

They very much believed that Kobe could guard Dookie.

And at this time,
Dookie stopped abruptly,

Kobe made an emergency stop,

But after Du Qi made an emergency stop just now, almost in the blink of an eye, he fast-breaked again. This is the golden finger used to the extreme.

Kobe can react once,
But then it slowed down a bit,
Du Qi broke through from Kobe's left in the blink of an eye.

Jordan Farmar stepped up to cover the defense,
The Knicks' role player Stephen Marbury stepped forward to help with the pick-and-roll, and Dookie jumped up and shot decisively.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

Two points for a mid-range shot!

"Kobe scored a goal, and Asia Du immediately returned the color!"

"Kobe defended well, but still couldn't defend Asia Du..."

"This……"

Although Du Qi and Kobe tied in scoring, many fans still worried about the Lakers.

sidelines,

Zen master frowned slightly, this situation is not what he wants to see.

On the field.

Only Du Qi knew very well in his heart that Kobe's defense actually brought him a lot of pressure!

"That means cheat time is doubled!"

"It could have broken through in seven or eight seconds, but under Kobe's defense, it took 15 seconds!"

"Consumed by Kobe like this, my golden finger time will be reduced by half, so this game is really difficult to deal with!"

When everyone thought Dookie had won Kobe,

Du Qi felt uneasy in his heart.

"It seems that it is better to win by chance."

……

In the 8th minute of the second quarter,
Du Qi encountered Kobe's excellent defense with the ball again. Du Qi was no longer stupid enough to use his golden fingers to deal with Kobe.
Instead, I chose Porcelain!
"Di-"

"No. 24 Kobe Bryant fouled, two free throws!"

"Damn it...the referee, he's a flop!"

"Are you questioning my judgment?"

"..."

Kobe wanted to go crazy, but was held back by Gasol.

The referee is not easy to mess with, for fear of being sentenced to a technical foul.

"hateful……"

Kobe looked at Dookie who was standing at the free throw position,
Du Qi glanced at Kobe, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands... Blame my acting skills for being so good~
"With one foul on Jamal Crawford, Kobe has three fouls!"

"This Asian kid...is really difficult!"

Duke made two free throws.

……

In the 9th minute of the second quarter, when the Lakers point guard gave the ball to Kobe, Kobe gave Duke a stern look.

When Du Qi and the shooting guard came forward to double-team Kobe, Kobe was also very careful.

This time he remembered Du Qi's "touch porcelain".

Leading the score, Du Qi did not open the golden finger,

double-team Kobe,

Kobe retreated beyond the three-point line, and after a certain distance, he found a chance to throw the ball, and he directly shot it.

Didn't even make adjustments,
Dookie jumps up and interferes with the shooting guard,

But Kobe was jumping backwards, and when Du Qi opened the golden finger, it was difficult to interfere, let alone not using the golden finger now.

In other words, Kobe's fadeaway shot has no solution.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

Kobe made this three-pointer!
huh~~
All the fans are frying pan:

"Come in!"

"Kobe deserves to be an efficient scorer, tying the score in minutes!"

"Great!"

"I am our Black Mamba!"

"..."

No. 11 minutes in the second quarter,

Du Qi asked Kobe to touch porcelain again, but this time Kobe was already very vigilant.The moment Du Qi made a flop, he retreated just right.

Du Qi fell, and the referee ignored it.

This also means,

"Pengci" failed!

Du Qi cursed inwardly, "Pengci failed. Although the referee is in a good mood now and didn't brag about himself, since he didn't brag, he has already judged that he was a flop. If the flop is caught, he will be fined after the game." .

Swish!
at this time,

Kobe broke through Dookie, who had flopped and dropped, and scored a goal.

When Kobe came back from his position and passed Du Qi, he sneered and said, "I won't let you succeed every time you flop,

This flop,

The referee didn't give you a technical foul, thank God.

But fines after the game are definitely indispensable. If you do this, isn't it a waste of money? "

"..."

Du Qi squinted his eyes, and then said:

"It doesn't matter, I have many ways to deal with you, let's play it slowly. Also, with my popularity, just accepting an ad endorsement now is enough for me to flop countless times."

"..."

Kobe pouted, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

……

"The Lakers overtook the score!"

"The critical moment still depends on Kobe Bryant!"

"Go Lakers!"

"Win the championship!"

That is to say, from this ball, Kobe has completely entered the state.

At this time, Kobe also changed suddenly,
Turned into a real black mamba viper, and scored another 1 points for the Lakers in the last minute of the first half!
The status is off the charts!
This state is of course when Du Qi is not active.

"At the end of the second half, the Lakers lead by 8 points!"

"Kobe is alive!"

"Asia Du, who played against him, did not perform well. Is he afraid of being beaten by Kobe?"

"possible."

"..."

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the intermission time came.

The basketball baby of the Lakers began to appear on the stage, dancing a vigorous and sultry dance for the fans to pass the boring time.

at this time.

The Lakers and Knicks players have returned to their respective locker rooms through the player tunnel.

Knicks locker room,

D'Antoni did not summarize the gains and losses of the first half, but focused on the second half.

When everyone drank water and ate fruit to replenish energy, D'Antoni directly asked Du Qi:

"Du, how are we going to play in the second half?"

D'Antoni is very aware of the Knicks' lineup, and Du Qi is the absolute core!
He knew Du Qi, but not very thoroughly.

"Coach don't worry, I will recover the score in the second half!"

D'Antoni was overjoyed.

He needs Du Qi's words!

As long as Du Qi is not beaten and still has fighting spirit, the Knicks have the hope of winning whether they lose by 8 points or 18 points!

same,
The other Knicks players were also shocked.

many times,

It was Du Qi who led them to turn defeat into victory in the second half. Du Qi said so, then this time will do it!
As such.

D'Antoni, who regained his confidence, began to analyze the situation of the Lakers:
"The Lakers are now in full swing under the leadership of Kobe.

They have Pau Gasol and Bynum inside,
There's a scary perimeter Kobe who can score fast regardless of position..."

A sentence is not finished,

Duke interjected:
"Coach, Cam is under pressure inside, please arrange a helper for him."

D'Antoni looked at Heitan.

Cam was eating a banana. Seeing the coach looking over, he swallowed the rest of the banana in one gulp, and muttered:

"Du is right, I really need a helper!"

D'Antoni thought about it.
"Okay, Jerome James comes on in the second half, Zach Randolph and Jamal come on,

Jerome, you are in charge of assisting the inside line.

Randolph, Jamal, if you have the chance, help Duke to suppress Kobe! "

"Coach, shall we play two centers? What if..."

Jerome James demurred.

"I know you're going to say that if there's a problem in the paint, we don't have a replacement center," he said.

D'Antoni looked at Jerome James and said, "Facing a lineup like the Lakers, there is no other way."

"..."

……

soon.

The third quarter begins.

In the beginning, it was the Knicks' possession of the ball.

Jamal Crawford throws the ball to Duke from the sideline.

Duke quickly dribbles the ball across half court.

The fans at the scene were surprised to see the Knicks on the double center lineup.

"The Knicks are going to fight with their backs!"

"Aren't you afraid that there will be problems inside if you actually play two centers?"

"A bit adventurous!"

"If you don't do this, the Knicks are really good inside... The young center of the Lakers and Gasol have already put a lot of pressure on the Knicks!"

"This...the Knicks still lack good players."

In a burst of discussion among the fans,
Du Qi has come outside the three-point line in the frontcourt,

Kobe lowered his center of gravity,

Staring intently at the basketball in Du Qi's hands,
He wants to predict how Du Qi will break through next, or...

And at this moment,
Du Qi speeded up his dribbling rhythm and broke through to Kobe's right side. As soon as he drove Kobe's defensive rhythm, he stopped and retreated.

The footwork is outrageously fast!

But Kobe still kept up!

But Du Qi didn't hesitate at all, and jumped up to shoot directly.

Kobe Bryant predicted that Du Qi would approach him to "conspire against him",
But this time Kobe made a mistake in his prediction.
I saw Duke's fadeaway jumper!

Swish!
Du Qi bent his right elbow and shot the ball hard.
Swish!
Hollow into the network!

Whoo~!

The fans shouted in shock.

They didn't expect that at the beginning of the second half, Du Qi gave them a very exciting three-pointer!

"Stop and shoot a three-pointer!"

"Three points du!"

"Three points du!"

The Knicks fans shouted, and they were still a little depressed.Du Qi's goal is very critical,

"Not only narrowed the score to 5 points, but also inspired the atmosphere of the fans!"

"And gave the Knicks players a shot in the arm!"

"This Asia Du is amazing!"

"..."

on the field.

Kobe looked at Duke in surprise.

"Back shot is not your specialty for Kobe. You can do it, and I can do it too. I can do it, but you Kobe won't necessarily do it." Du Qi glanced at Kobe and said calmly.

"..."

With Kobe's violent temper, he almost couldn't stand Du Qi's anger.

Seemingly afraid of being beaten, Du Qi ran away immediately.

but soon,

When the Lakers launched an offense in the frontcourt, Kobe missed a mid-range shot and formed a rebound. Paul Gasol grabbed the rebound and wanted to make a dunk, but was blocked by Jerome James. The two confronted Moments later, Pau Gasol gave up his shot and saw Kobe running to the left corner,
Swish!
pass the ball,

Give it to Kobe.

Kobe moved quickly, took a step back, and came outside the three-point line. When Du Qi rushed over, he had no adjustments.

Swish!
Hit a three-pointer.

Also Duke a color.

"Black Mamba and Asia Du, both have entered the state!"

"Wonderful!"

In the first minute of the third quarter,
Dookie dribbles across half court, drives to Bryant's left, pulls up, and fakes a shot.

Kobe was fooled and jumped up decisively to block the interference.

Dookie waited for Bryant to jump to the top, then jumped up and shot.

But the next second,
Fisher rushed over to help defend Kobe.

Du Qi lost his chance to shoot. With a flash of his eyes, he saw Cam running out from the inside to ask for the ball.

Cam made a layup.

Encounter Bynum's block.

Cam quickly collected the ball and passed it to Jerome James, who jumped up and dunked decisively, and dunked into the basket with a bang.

The action of this system,
Flowing clouds and flowing water,

It's like art!

"Good cooperation!"

"nice shot!"

"The Knicks are showing their power inside!"
