Kobe glanced at the timer, and there were still seven seconds left. He moved, and his body rushed towards Alan Houston's right hand like a cheetah.
Alan Houston refused to give in. The two bodies collided together. Alan Houston felt a huge force coming from his chest and let out a muffled groan.
But he didn't lose his position.
Kobe jumped up and blocked the shot.
Kobe is leaning back, he is diving.
Kobe is still leaning back, he is falling.
Alan Houston felt something was wrong. This young man who almost won the FMVP last year planned to use his airborne ability to force a shot.
The basketball flew past Alan Houston's fingertips.
Just a little bit closer!
I almost got it!
Alan Houston felt a little sorry, but he believed that he had defended so well that Kobe could not have made the shot!
In the audience, Lu Yu couldn't help but spat: "Idiot, seal his eyes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the basketball fell from the air into the basket with a "swish" sound.
The midfield whistle sounded and the second quarter ended.
As for the score...
Lu Yu didn't remember it at all.
…
During the halftime of the second quarter, the Knicks actually held a fan interaction event.
From the 19,763 fans at the scene, one lucky spectator will be selected to challenge a player from the two teams. The big screen at the scene is constantly scrolling on every spectator, and every fan is shouting crazily.
The big screen slowly stopped.
"Ah, why is it me?" Jessica said in surprise.
I can’t play ball, so why choose me?
At this time, the big screen that had almost stopped suddenly moved slightly, and the person on the screen changed from Jessica to Lu Yu.
Jessica Alba let out a long sigh of relief.
Lu Yu was stunned.
Gouri's live camera must have spotted him when it was parked next to Jessica, and then secretly moved the camera.
Sure enough, some fans at the scene recognized Lu Yu.
After all, the day after tomorrow is the NCAA's opening game in New York, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs game is the highlight. The promotional posters alone have been plastered all over many streets in New York.
During March Madness, even the NBA has to give way.
If it weren't for the fact that today was the Lakers' away game and it was another weak team, the Knicks' game might have been postponed.
"Is this person the Chinese player from Gonzaga?"
"That's him. I've seen his fighting videos."
"Is there something wrong with you? There are posters of their team at the gate, and you still want to watch the video?"
The audience at the scene was talking a lot.
Under the urging of the on-site MC, Lu Yu could only stand up and walk to the court.
Players from both sides also walked out of the locker room.
Larry Johnson, the "aunt" of the Knicks, laughed and said: "I originally wanted to meet this kid when I came to watch the NCAA game the day after tomorrow, but I didn't expect to see him in advance."
O'Neal of the Lakers widened his eyes and said to Horry beside him: "I heard that he is very good at fighting. I really don't believe that such a handsome man can fight. I am a little doubtful that he can play basketball."
Players from both teams were paying attention to Lu Yu standing in the center of the court.
Kobe was the only one sitting on the courtside chair wearing headphones.
He didn't like this kind of midfield activity, especially the duels with fans. It was a waste of energy. Fortunately, the fans he met every time were very weak, so he couldn't waste too much energy.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear the MC shouting his name.
Um?
Isn't it?
So unlucky!
Kobe reluctantly took off his headphones, knowing that he was picked on by the damn fans again today.
Many fans who like the Lakers will pick Kobe when they encounter a one-on-one match between fans, because O'Neal is too strong, and the fans don't want their basketball dreams to be shattered.
Therefore, the second star of the Lakers, Kobe, who is only 196cm tall, became the first choice for this link.
When he walked onto the court, he took a look at Lu Yu. He was quite tall, as tall as himself.
Kobe took the microphone handed over by MC and asked symbolically: "Hey, brother, can you play basketball?"
Lu Yu was stunned and nodded: "I know a little bit."
Huge laughter erupted from the scene.
The players of the Lakers and Knicks had already burst into laughter. Only Kobe was still confused, "What on earth are these idiots laughing at?"
"Then let's play a one-on-one game, and you can attack." Kobe threw the ball to Lu Yu.
did not expect,
Lu Yu threw the ball back again.
"No, I still want to defend you more." Lu Yu chuckled.
Kobe was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he encountered a fan who chose to defend in a one-on-one session, but he didn't care. Lu Yu stretched a few times just now and looked decent. Maybe he could actually play some basketball.
Kobe holds the ball and Lu Yu assumes a defensive posture.
Kobe's triple threat was very standard and unpredictable. He used a tentative step to click forward. Lu Yu didn't move, so he just dropped the ball and accelerated, trying to break through Lu Yu.
The moment he dropped the ball, Lu Yu took a step sideways to block his breakthrough route.
"Huh?"
Kobe was surprised at Lu Yu's reaction speed, but he quickly adjusted, turned around, handed the ball to his left hand, leaned against Lu Yu, changed direction, and squeezed past Lu Yu's right side.
Emergency stop, fadeaway jump shot.
The moment he shot, Lu Yu's blocking hand also stretched out.
only……
Kobe: "If you don't block the fucking ball, why are you blocking my eyes!?"
"Boom!"
The basketball hit the front edge of the rim, and the moment Kobe took his shot, he clearly felt that his shot was a few points short.
Alan Houston on the sidelines was also stunned.
Can you still be so defensive?
All the fans in the audience shouted excitedly. What does it mean that Lu Yu can guard Kobe? It means that Lu Yu is awesome!
Alan Houston couldn't even guard him just now.
Lu Yu was on guard!
…
The game was still intense in the second half, but Kobe became increasingly out of shape.
Alan Houston seemed to have received a true pass from Lu Yu. After a game, almost every defense would block Kobe's eyes, which made Kobe very depressed and crazy.
At the end of the game, the Lakers actually lost.
How can we not lose? The more Kobe couldn't make the shot, the more he insisted on making it. It was as if he was over the top. O'Neal asked for the ball countless times and couldn't get it. In the end, it was the Zen Master who replaced Kobe and managed to recover a little bit of the score.
It's just that it's too late by this time.
The Knicks have already exerted their momentum, and the Lakers have no way to make a comeback.
After the game, Kobe did not return to the locker room. Instead, he walked to the technical stage and picked up the MC's microphone.
"For the fans who challenged me to a one-on-one match in the midfield game, could you please challenge me for another one-on-one game?"
The live screen was pointed at Lu Yu's seat, but it was already empty.
Kobe was a little disappointed.
He is a stubborn person at heart, and the reason why he lost this game was all because of the one-on-one challenge at halftime.
If it hadn't been for that one-on-one challenge, Alan Houston wouldn't have sealed his eyes throughout the second half.
Damn it!
Isn't it a foul?
"Are you looking for Lu Yu?"
Larry Johnson walked over.
"Lu Yu?"
Kobe frowned slightly, he seemed to have heard this name before.
Larry Johnson said with a smile: "He probably couldn't stand being chased by fans for autographs and ran away, but there will be a Gonzaga Bulldogs game the day after tomorrow. You can come and take a look. Lu Yu is at Gonzaga."
in the team.”
Kobe suddenly remembered, wasn't Lu Yu the player who got into a fight in the NCAA some time ago?
