Starting lineups for both teams in this game -

San Antonio Spurs: PG Joey, SG Tony Parker, SF Leonard, PF Duncan, C Split.

Los Angeles Lakers: PG Steve Nash, SG Kobe Bryant, SF Meta Worldpeace, PF Pau Gasol, C Dwight Howard

"Mark said you're a very interesting newcomer.……"

Before the jump ball, the wife of the family who had just greeted the familiar Spurs players such as Duncan and Manu came to Joey.

Unlike Kobe and Howard, he is like Nash, who is a gentleman both on and off the court.

"Thank you, Mark is also a historic inside player!"

Joey was stunned, then he reacted and praised him:

"Of course you too, Paul.……"

After the two of them fist-bumped and were about to continue chatting, the referee's whistle quickly interrupted them.

The game officially began. Howard easily passed the ball over Duncan's head. Kobe received the ball and passed it to Nash with a blank expression.

An interesting thing to say is that since the start of the season, Duncan has ranked first among all teams' inside players with a 14.3% jump ball success rate.——

""Last one"!

Except for the jump ball against the Jazz, all other games were defeated by the opponent with absolute"bounce".

After dribbling across half court, Nash directed Howard to screen in the high post, and then gave the ball to Kobe, who quickly rushed to the basket with the help of Howard's screen.

Bang -

Joey felt like he hit a thick wall. This"wall" not only did not shake at all, but also injured himself.

Bronze·Pick and Roll Dodger didn't dare to show his head at this time!

At this time, the Warcraft, who was already at the end of his peak and suffered from back injuries, still had the strength to compete for the league's top center. Whether it was screens, downs, cuts, assists... or even a little bit of crude low-post offensive means, it was almost He can do almost everything that all great centers can do.

But his childish character and narrow-minded mind limit his achievements.

Just like this shot, Nash had clearly used the off-ball screen to get to the basket, and Kobe also lobbed the ball to the basket at the right time. At this time, the Spurs' paint area was unguarded, and Duncan was pulled to the baseline by Gasol, and there was no time to return to defense.

Nash only needed an easy layup to end this round of offense, but Howard insisted on returning to the paint area on his own initiative, which not only brought Stapley back, but also gave Joey time and space to chase and defend to the basket. At the moment when Nash raised the ball to prepare for a layup, he jumped high, stretched out his long arms, and slammed the ball he had just shot on the backboard!

"Cap! Wonderful block! The Spurs' No. 3 rookie gave us a wonderful cap defense at the beginning of the game.……"

Kenny Smith, one of the four great commentators of TNT, exclaimed.

Sir Charles Barkley on the side was also surprised.

Joey caught the ball and quickly pushed for a fast break - this is the most commonly used offensive tactic of the Spurs so far. The starting point is Joey, and the end point... all four teammates are the end points!

Three against two in the first half, Kobe returned to defense in time without losing his position, and took the initiative to hit Joey, followed by Nash and Gasol.

"Hey rookie, I'm not that easy to talk to.……"

As soon as Kobe finished saying this, Joey in front of him did a behind-the-back + crotch in&out dribble to quickly shift the former's center of gravity and seize a split second of opportunity -

Silver First Step Master, Bronze Dribbling Veteran, Bronze Ball Protection Master lit up one after another.

In just one breath, Kobe was completely passed.

Joey went straight to the basket, jumped up facing an empty basket, and scored a two-handed dunk!

2:0, the Spurs took over!

After Joey came down, he high-fived his teammates and retreated without saying a word.

But the teenage stars on the sidelines couldn't take their eyes off him for a moment.

""Shit, you damn idiot, stop running like that!"

Kobe watched the rookie, whom he had never taken seriously before the game, dribbled past him and scored. He immediately got angry, picked up the basketball on the ground, and stuffed it into Howard's arms viciously, scolding him.

The latter was also a little angry, but not only because Kobe called him an idiot in public, but more because the rookie was so fast. You know, he had just gone down the court for less than half a second, and this guy rushed to the basket?

Kobe was right, it was really hell!

Nash came over at this time, indicating that it was his fault, and took the initiative to help Howard out.

Unexpectedly, Kobe just glared at the latter and signaled him to serve the ball quickly.

"Kobe, kill that arrogant rookie and defend the glory of the Purple and Gold Lakers!"

The big actor and the star of the Shining series Nicholson clapped hard and shouted loudly on the sidelines.

This move quickly aroused the emotions of the Lakers fans in the Staples Center, and they all clapped rhythmically together:

"Kill the tractor guys in San Antonio!"

"Kill the tractor guys in San Antonio!"

"……"

In the next round, Kobe lived up to everyone's expectations, backed up Parker, turned around and made a beautiful fadeaway jump shot!

""Swish!"

Two points scored, the score tied!

The cheers at Staples Center became more intense...

Joey took the initiative to find Parker and asked for a switch. The latter also knew that with his physical talent, it was impossible to defend Kobe, who is currently one of the top three singles players in the league.

So he readily agreed.

In the next round, Joey used the Spurs' iconic hammer tactics. Parker used three human screens to successfully get rid of the defense and took an open shot in the bottom corner!

"boom——"

Unfortunately, it didn't go in. Howard protected the rebound and Nash quickly pushed for a fast break.

Kobe cut into the basket and Nash accurately passed the ball to him.

Seeing that the former was about to dunk easily, the"latecomer" Joey jumped up and surpassed Kobe by half a head. He blocked the basketball the moment he shot.——

"Swish——"

"Whistle!"

The basketball was about to be blown away by Joey who was coming from behind, but Kobe relied on his strong waist and abdominal strength to catch the ball at his waist, and at the moment when Joey stretched out his hand, he changed to a dunk and shot it in from the left side!

At the same time, the referee whistled,"2+1" was scored!

"nice shot!"

"Unparalleled pull-up goal……"

"A shooting guard who can’t pull up is not a good forward!"

"……"

There was another round of deafening cheers, which almost broke the eardrums.

After Kobe scored, he did not rush to the free throw line. With a relaxed smile on his face, he walked up to Joey:

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

"This is a professional competition, not some college student mutual aid league where noobs fight each other……"

It seems that Kobe, who never went to college, has a"deep grudge" against the NCAA!

Joey stood under the basket with a blank expression, watching Kobe score the free throw.

The Spurs have the ball.

When Joey came to the Lakers' half, he found that the person standing in front of him was not the"perverted" guard with long hair who liked to lick his hands with his tongue, but Kobe Bryant with a provocative smile...

He suddenly laughed out loud.

The excitement that made his hormones soar came... Joey finally found the feeling of playing in Oklahoma a week ago!

【Ding! The host's body condition is detected to be in the"hot period".���The value is temporarily +3, valid for 30 minutes! 】

As the voice fell, a mysterious force surged into Joey's limbs.

He only felt that his body was extremely relaxed and comfortable at the moment!

Joey immediately lowered his center of gravity and rushed to Kobe on the left. How could the latter let a rookie score twice in a row on his head? He quickly blocked it with a lateral move.

The moment Joey made physical contact, the dribbling veteran badge lit up, and the basketball in his hand suddenly seemed to be pulled by a thin line, changing direction quickly at a speed that the naked eye could hardly follow.

This dribbling rhythm... is something!

Kobe's face changed as he dribbled back to open up the space on the right. He was about to keep up - now!

Joey blew the ball hard and pretended to break through on the right. While moving Kobe's center of gravity, an exaggerated crossover was formed.

Kobe, who had entered the end of his career, had greatly degraded in terms of reaction, footwork and flexibility. He had no time to react. He watched Joey rush into the inside from his left side. His footsteps could not keep up, and because his center of gravity was moved many times in a short period of time, his feet slipped - bang!

He fell heavily to the ground...

Kobe couldn't believe it: a 12-time All-Defensive player was actually knocked down by a rookie in Staples Center, his home?!

Ignoring Kobe's pupils shaking at the moment, Joey rushed into the paint and was defended by Howard, the three-time DPOY winner, and threw the ball high into the paint - the bronze alley-oop initiator!

"Bang!"

Duncan easily dunked the ball.

Split tightly blocked Gasol behind him, ready to fight for the rebound at any time.

The Staples Center was in an uproar. Even the Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni, who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai and looking at Popovich across the court, could not believe his eyes.

"Oh, look, Selina, your No. 3 pretty boy actually knocked down the great Bryant!"

Selina's best friend who is obviously also a fake basketball fan who knows a lot about basketball, exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth.

Selina was also shocked to see this scene - she knew more about basketball than her fake fan best friend, and could see a lot of tricks in Joey's shot, but what made her even more unbelievable was that the Spurs' No. 3 rookie this year actually knocked down the former league's top shooting guard, Kobe Bryant, head-on on the court?!

"Shit, damn rookie.……"

Kobe was pulled up by Gasol and Nash.

Even though he has been in the league for nearly 20 years, he has only encountered the embarrassing experience of being knocked down a few times. The last time he was brought to such a humiliating state of"social death" was when the No. 1 pick in their class, a player who was 1.83 meters tall but wrote his own chapter in NBA history.

"Don't be angry, man. Sometimes, being a background board... is not that easy."

At this time, old Duncan, who was passing by, said something that"added fuel to the fire". Kobe was almost overwhelmed by anger at this moment -

Damn, you are the only one in the league's history when it comes to being a background board. Who dares to discuss the word"background board" with you? You are the exclusive"background board" for 400 players in the league."……
