NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

Kobe, who was stimulated, came to halftime and only made one action, give me the ball!

Leaning against Ling Yang in the middle distance, Kobe reached out and took the basketball from Smush Parker.

He took a tentative step by holding the ball with both hands, and the next moment, Kobe directly raised his hand.

Kobe's dry pull is not as sudden as McGrady's, but Kobe's dry pull often has a backlash.

It is difficult for Ling Yang to completely stop such a sudden pull-back. He can only extend his long arms directly to the top of Kobe's head as much as possible to give the opponent more interference.

And Kobe is also the top scorer in the league. After failing to score for three consecutive rounds, his shooting was still extremely resolute when Ling Yang's ball interfered enough.

The arc of the ball is not high, but after hitting the inside of the basket, it still rebounded and fell into the basket.

Two-point hit, after the Lakers' offense failed for 5 consecutive rounds, Kobe made a strong shot against Ling Yang's defense.

This scene immediately caused a burst of cheers from the Staples Arena.

"Fortunately, it's Kobe!"

At this time, Ling Yang also sighed in his heart, and also ignited a high fighting spirit.

Even in the subsequent offense of the Suns, Ling Yang, who was still thinking about how to defend Kobe, became an invisible man on the offensive end.

It wasn't until after Nash made a shot that Ling Yang rushed to the inside, trying to grab an offensive board, but failed.

So far in today's game, the Suns made 6 of 3 offensive shots, and the success rate is not particularly high, but the Lakers' defensive rebound protection is not bad, and the Suns have not grabbed an offensive rebound yet.

The ball fell into the hands of the Lakers, and Kobe once again chose to ask for the ball in the middle distance, but this time, he chose to rely on Ling Yang.

This made Ling Yang more vigilant, he stuck tightly behind Kobe, his left arm kept moving forward to disturb Kobe.

However, this kind of defense did not lose its position, which made Kobe feel a little uncomfortable.

Continuous back leaning, Kobe took Ling Yang back a small step, then suddenly turned around and shot a jumper.

For this ball, Ling Yang judged earlier by feeling Kobe's strength, and was more fully prepared than the previous round.

The body pressed forward quickly, Ling Yang stretched out his long arms, and swung his big hand directly to the top of Kobe's head.

The huge defensive pressure forced Kobe to adjust his shot!

"boom!"

Successfully hitting the iron, Ling Yang once again defended against Kobe's attack.

At the basket, Kurt Thomas and Mihm scrambled for the rebound and knocked the basketball out of the baseline.

The referee signaled the front ball.

Ling Yang was preparing to continue defending at this time, when he heard a whistle from the sidelines.

The Lakers requested a timeout.

But Phil Jackson saw that 2 minutes and 42 seconds had been played at this time, and it was approaching the official timeout anyway, but his team only scored 2 points from Kobe, so he couldn't help calling a timeout.

Watching the Lakers players walk off the court, Jackson didn't take any tactical boards, but directly said to Kobe:

"Kobe, you can't focus too much on the contest with the rookie on the opposite side. His characteristic is his excellent defense. If you focus on one-on-one with him, you will fall into the opponent's trap.

So far in the game, we have only made 6 of 1 shots and one turnover.

You have to use the cover of your teammates to find better offensive opportunities, and then help your teammates create offensive opportunities. "

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, Kobe looked at the scoreboard and finally nodded slightly.

After these two seasons, Kobe has become more mature. Although he still wants to use his offensive skills to overcome Ling Yang's defense, most of the time he is more focused on leading the team to win. in a more important position.

Moreover, Kobe also knows that in this game, there will be no less contests between the two sides.

Seeing that Kobe listened to it, Phil Jackson said again: "Oh, by the way, on the defensive end, if the opponent just stays outside the three-second zone, you have to pay attention to helping your teammates.

Although this guy made some shots in the last game, no player who can't shoot can suddenly develop his shooting ability and maintain a good shooting touch. I think this guy just suddenly feels good in the game. We can properly Let him shoot and protect the paint. "

After Kobe heard it, he nodded again. This time, he was much more decisive than before.

Apparently, Kobe also believed that Ling Yang's attack in the last game was just a flash in the pan.

The Lakers are making arrangements, and the Suns are also making some arrangements accordingly. After all, judging from the previous few minutes, the Suns' offensive efficiency is not high.

Especially when the success rate of the Lakers' offense is not high, the Suns' counterattack today is not very good, which makes D'Antoni a little dissatisfied.

The timeout ended and players from both teams returned to the field.

After the ball was released, it was soon handed over to Kobe again.

At this time, Kobe was somewhat similar to the state before the timeout, leaning against Ling Yang in the middle distance to ask for the ball.

Kobe leaned half against Ling Yang, feeling the defensive pressure behind him, and his eyes were observing the running positions of his teammates.

After being reminded by Phil Jackson, he has realized that it is obviously not a good choice to blindly attack by himself from the first quarter.

At this moment, he saw Smush Parker running to the top of the arc on the right to receive the ball, and Kobe pushed the ball over.

Although Nash also followed, but the defensive pressure on Parker was not enough, and the latter hit a three-pointer.

This three-pointer made the Lakers' home court, which was a little quiet after the opening, began to become lively and noisy.

Because both sides fought frequently in the first few minutes, with the completion of this round, the score of the two teams became 6:5, and the point difference was only 1 point.

After the Suns sent the ball quickly, Nash quickly advanced with the ball, adhering to the principle of speeding up D'Antoni's offensive rhythm, Nash came outside the three-point line, and he didn't even pause much, and directly made a big change of direction , is to throw off Smush Parker's direct breakthrough.

In the bottom corner on the right, Marion pulled wide enough, and Kurt Thomas was still behind at this time and did not catch up. The closest to the basket at this moment was Ling Yang who was hovering outside the three-second zone.

Correspondingly, at this moment, the one who is most able to return to the basket is Kobe who is defending Lingyang.

After taking a look, he found that his teammates were obviously unable to keep up with Nash's footsteps. In addition to the arrangement of Phil Jackson before, at this time, Kobe also decisively shrunk to the basket to defend.

Nash continued to charge forward with the ball, looking like he was going to plunge into Kobe's defense. The next moment, the ball in his hand was pushed out and sent to Ling Yang who was already vacant.

Familiar position, familiar passing, Ling Yang has a feeling of returning to the previous game.

Therefore, he decisively took off and shot!

Seeing Ling Yang's shot, the head coaches of the two teams on the sidelines all paid attention at this time.

In the first quarter, the head coaches of the two teams did not pay attention to the point of one point and two points. What they paid attention to was whether Ling Yang could continue to maintain his shooting state as in the previous game.

Also paying attention, there are many fans who are familiar with Ling Yang.

At this time, Zhang Ping, who was explaining in China, shouted directly:

"Hey, Ling Yang made a shot!

This is not what he is good at, but Ling Yang made a few shots in the last game, let's see how the ball goes...

The ball went in!You see, he really has it! "

The Huaxia fans were filled with joy when they heard Zhang Ping's voice.

And in the Staples Arena, D'Antoni and the Suns players applauded one after another at this time.

The decisiveness of Ling Yang's shooting, the touch, this time they really believed what Ling Yang said after the last game.

As for the Lakers, well, they decided to wait and see.

The Lakers continued to attack, and Kobe's side still initiated the tactics. The difference is that this round, after Kobe got the ball, Cook's side immediately stepped forward to pick and roll.

The quality of Cook's cover was very solid, and Ling Yang was completely blocked. Bell immediately chose to switch defenses and put Kobe on it.

At this time, Ling Yang did not switch to defend Cook, but decisively chose to flank Kobe with him.

Facing Ling Yang and Bell, two of the Suns' best perimeter defensive players, Kobe was not too flustered and anxious. Obviously, double-teaming is also a common thing for him.

While forcing Bell to take two steps forward, Kobe observed Ling Yang's position. When he found that Ling Yang had completely moved away from him, he threw the ball and passed it to the left three-point line at the top of the arc. Cook outside.

Cook got the ball, but he couldn't shoot it directly, because at this time the Suns' defensive rotation had come, and Marion rushed up.

Cook then passed the ball to Odom in the left corner.

The left-handed magician's offensive state today is not very good, such a wide open shot, but in the end it still ended in a strike.

Ling Yang rushed into the inside and grabbed the rebound. Kobe had followed Bell to retreat at this time, but at this moment Cook had no intention of sticking to Ling Yang's delay.

Ling Yang, who took the rebound, saw that the Lakers were not aggressive and did not wait to give the ball to Nash. He took the ball and rushed towards the half court quickly until he reached the top of the arc and beyond the three-point line. Only then did Ling Yang pass the ball to Nash who ran forward to catch it.

At this time, the big man was defending himself, so Ling Yang took advantage of the situation and stood outside the three-point line to cover for Nash.

Nash, who originally ran to the left to catch the ball, saw Smush Parker go around behind Ling Yang, dribbled the ball in a different direction, flashed back to the right again, and then dribbled the ball into a three-pointer inside the line.

After Cook saw it, he immediately chose to switch defenses, and Smush Parker also hurriedly followed, because Cook obviously couldn't keep up with Nash at this time.

Nash took away two defensive players and rushed to the basket, naturally emptied Ling Yang.

However, Ling Yang also knew that his role near the three-point line was obviously not that great, so at this time he immediately ran into the three-point line.

Glancing at the direction of the three-second zone, besides the two defensive players defending Nash, Mim has also shrunk to the basket to defend. Ling Yang, who was going to cut directly to the basket, suddenly changed his mind and came to the left three About two steps outside the second zone.

At this time, Ling Yang even had to admire Nash, seeing that he had plunged into the crowd within the three-second zone, but still noticed Ling Yang's movement.

Just as Ling Yang stood on time, Nash's pass had already been thrown in this direction.

Perhaps considering that Ling Yang's position was too far outside, Nash's pass at this time was a little shorter.

This led Ling Yang to take a step forward, just in time to catch the basketball comfortably.

"Prevent him from shooting!"

Kobe, who just paid the price for emptying Lingyang, immediately yelled to remind his teammates.

The nearest Smush Parker also raised his hand immediately to interfere, but he didn't have time to take off at this time, so he just raised his hand to interfere. The impact on Ling Yang, who is tall and long, is really limited.

"Shh!"

With the crisp sound, the basketball fell into the basket again steadily!

Two points, hit again!

"Young, there are more!"

In the live broadcast room of Huaxia TV Station, Zhang Ping shouted before Yu Jia.

"Ling Yang's shooting is incredible! Although the distance is not far, the shooting percentage is still good! This game made 2 of 2 shots, plus the previous game, 9 of 6 shots!"

Zhang Ping's words at this time probably also represented the mood of everyone present at Staples.

On D'Antoni's side, there is a smile on his face. It is true that if Ling Yang has a certain shooting ability, even if the shooting distance is not far, it can greatly enrich the team's tactical options.

And the Lakers, for the most part, were like the Heat in the previous game, thinking, "What the hell, how does this guy shoot."

Coming to the other side, Kobe was quite patient. In the previous round, he failed to complete the attack by guiding his teammates. In this round, he still chose to create opportunities for his teammates by attracting the defense.

It's just that on the Sun's side, the defensive rotation is also good.

Except for Nash, each of the Sun Five on the field is outstanding defensively, and Nash's opponent Smash Parker is not very good offensively.

After the ball spun around, it came to Mim's hands.

Facing Kurt Thomas' defense, Mihm didn't dare to make a shot, but returned the ball to Kobe who ran to the middle distance of the bottom line.

Ling Yang quickly followed up and posted it almost as soon as Kobe caught the ball, which also prevented Kobe from making a direct shot after catching the ball.

All the players of the Lakers pulled away, Kobe leaned against Ling Yang, turned around and shot after shaking twice in a row.

Ling Yang judged that Kobe might be turning towards the upper line, so the center of gravity moved more towards the upper line, but Kobe's movement just now was very confusing, but at this time he chose to turn towards the bottom line.

Due to a small mistake in judgment, Ling Yang's take-off was a little late. Seizing this opportunity, Kobe made a shot and hit a two-pointer.

"Kobe is beginning to adapt to his offense and find the offensive feeling?"

Grumbling in his heart, Ling Yang quickly rushed towards the half court.

Of course, he never thought of restricting Kobe from scoring. For such a top scorer in the league, it is basically impossible to completely restrict him. All he can do is to reduce the opponent's shooting rate as much as possible.

Thinking in his heart, Ling Yang was also constantly thinking about how to better limit his opponents.

Kobe's scoring methods are too rich. After entering the half court, there are basically no offensive dead ends, and he can shoot and break through. The offensive area also covers from the three-second zone to beyond the three-point line.

Ling Yang was thinking about how to defend Kobe and reduce the opponent's shooting rate, while Kobe was thinking about how to completely prevent Ling Yang.

Ling Yang's own offensive ability is not outstanding, and he relies more on his teammates to feed the ball. Kobe knows this. Such a player who does not have rich offensive methods, but allows the opponent to score consecutively. In Kobe's mind, this is simply intolerable .

So after halftime, Kobe stuck to Ling Yang directly, and did not give Ling Yang a chance to cut in at will, which also forced Ling Yang to choose to sit in the bottom corner and wait for the opportunity.

In this round, Ling Yang was indeed unable to participate in the offense, and the Sun's offense was still successful. Nash came to the free throw line with the help of a screen, chose to attack by himself, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop.

However, on the other side, Ling Yang didn't let Kobe please.

Kobe once again asked for the ball in the low post to play singles, Ling Yang tried his best at this time, sticking to the defense tightly, and did not give Kobe a chance to attack easily.

Kobe then turned a half and dribbled directly to the basket.

But Ling Yang tightly stuck the position of the breakthrough, forcing Kobe to almost go out of the baseline, and in the end he could only pass the ball, and transferred it to Odom's hands in a wide range.

Odom's shooting was not very good today, so after receiving the ball, he directly hit the basket, which caused Marion's foul.

After Odom made two free throws, the ball once again came to the hands of the sun.

At this time, Kobe continued to maintain his defensive strength against Ling Yang. After Ling Yang tried to run and cut in but failed to get a chance, he again ambushed to the bottom corner to open up the attacking space for his teammates.

At this time, outside Nash has rushed into the three-point line with the help of Kurt Thomas' pick-and-roll.

Mim originally wanted to pinch Nash with Smush Parker, but Nash paused slightly when he broke through, and looked at Thomas, who had completed the screen and separated, and seemed to want to pass the ball to Kobe. T-Thomas.

This made Mim stop hurriedly and rushed towards Kurt Thomas.

And what Nash just said was just a confusing action.

As soon as Mim left, Nash dribbled the ball and rushed directly to the basket.

On the left baseline, Kobe, who was already two steps away from Ling Yang, immediately moved towards the basket to help defend.

After Ling Yang saw Kobe leaving, he also moved quickly and began to cut towards the basket.

Nash already knew Ling Yang's shooting distance. Here, Ling Yang took a step inside the three-point line, and Nash's ball had already been thrown.

And when Ling Yang continued to move forward, he was able to catch Nash's pass just in time.

However, when Ling Yang received the ball, he found that there was no good opportunity to shoot directly, because Kobe returned to defense.

Apparently, Kobe had long expected that Ling Yang might have an offensive opportunity after he left, so he returned to defense extremely quickly.

"It came pretty fast!"

Seeing Kobe rushing back, Ling Yang thought that his shooting would be seriously interfered by the opponent, so he raised his hand and slammed the ball to the floor in the next moment, dribbling with his right hand to directly break through the basket from the upper line.

But at this moment, Kobe suddenly took a step forward, reaching out and directly reaching for the basketball in Ling Yang's hand.

"not good!"

Ling Yang's reaction was quick, he immediately realized the danger he was in at the moment, and his first thought was to avoid it.

It's just that he doesn't have this consciousness, he doesn't have this ability.

My brain is moving, but my hands can't keep up with the speed.

His dribbling was really average, and he just pulled the ball back to protect it, and Kobe's hand had already touched the basketball.

This time, the basketball immediately lost control and fell aside.

The next moment, the two reached out to the basketball together.

After all, Kobe was rushing forward, and Ling Yang had to turn around, so Ling Yang was still a little bit slower, which allowed Kobe to touch the basketball first.

However, under the interference of Ling Yang, Kobe could not directly control the ball.

At this time, he didn't even want to hug the ball, so he simply slapped the ball, pulled it back to his direction, and was about to dribble and counterattack directly.

But at this time, seeing that his own ball was about to fall into Kobe's little hands, Ling Yang was naturally unwilling.

Taking advantage of Kobe's lack of complete control of the ball at this moment, Ling Yang directly grabbed the basketball with his palm.

In terms of dribbling ability, Ling Yang is naturally inferior to Kobe, but in terms of control over the ball, Ling Yang with big hands naturally has the advantage.

Kobe had just slapped the ball once, and was about to dribble forward, but at the next moment, he suddenly realized... a lonely slap.

The ball is gone.

Taking a closer look, Kobe found that the basketball had already fallen into Ling Yang's hands.

The scene that happened on the field was really too fast, and the reversal was so sudden that many people didn't react.

It wasn't until the basketball fell back into Ling Yang's hands that Yu Jia, who was explaining, shouted:

"It's a counter-steal! Just after being intercepted by Kobe, Ling Yang immediately counter-stealed the ball back on the spot!

There is a chance of a direct attack..."

On the field, Ling Yang did get an offensive opportunity.

While catching the ball, he took advantage of the situation and turned sideways. While he blocked Kobe behind his body to protect the basketball, he also gained a favorable position to attack the basket.

At this time, because Kobe had just seen that he had completed the steal, the Lakers players were all ready to counterattack, which made the basket empty.

Resolutely rushing forward, Ling Yang completed the attack with a light dunk while Kobe watched him off!

"Beautiful! Ling Yang directly dunked and scored another 2 points. Ling Yang scored his 8th point!"

After Yu Jia finished speaking, Zhang Ping was very surprised and said:

"Today's game was a bit unexpected, everyone said it was about Ling Yang's defense against Kobe's offense.

But so far, in terms of statistics alone, whether it is offense or defense, Ling Yang is better than Kobe.

On Kobe's side, he scored 5 points on 2 of 4 shots and had 1 assist, but he had 2 turnovers in addition to being intercepted by Ling Yang just this time.

And you look at Lingyang, good guy, 4 of 4 shots, 8 points, higher than Kobe, and 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block! "

Zhang Ping's comparison immediately excited the Huaxia fans who were watching the game.

Originally they only wanted to see Ling Yang's defense against Kobe's offense, but now, Ling Yang is even better on the offensive end.

Kobe was also vaguely aware of this at this time. He only made 2 shots himself, and he knew it well.

And how many did the guy on the opposite side get in?It seems like three or four.

This guy can not only defend, but also seems to be good at attacking?
