Chapter 48 Ke Mai reunites, Huashan discusses the sword!
After receiving the ball, t-mac was about to speed up when a figure in a purple and gold jersey suddenly ran in front of him and blocked McGrady's path.
The person coming is none other than Kobe!
The moment Gasol was intercepted, the Black Mamba was lurking in the bottom corner.
In other words, he was the person furthest away from the Lakers half court at that time.
But now, Kobe has become the team's last line of defense, firmly standing between the opponent and the basket.
This is his defensive attitude!
In the flash of lightning, the two people's eyes intertwined.
McGrady suddenly lowered his center of gravity, made a cross step, and took an explosive first step.
"Wow~"
Faced with T-MAC's rapid breakthrough, Kobe was obviously unprepared and was passed cleanly.
"Wow, this move feels like the fastest first step in the league back then!"
Yu Jia commented timely.
At this moment, there is no one in front of McGrady, and the basket is right in front of him.
I saw him leaping up, his whole body rising into the air, his body like a fully drawn bow, and with just one glance, he could see that he contained terrifying power!
But Kobe behind him did not give up defense.
The moment McGrady took off, he miraculously followed him and completed the jump almost at the same time.
If this momentum continues, Kobe is very likely to complete a chip or block at the last moment.
But McGrady’s reaction speed is also very fast!
He suddenly changed hands in the air, handed the ball to his left hand, and avoided Kobe's defense.
"bang!"
A deft yet powerful left-hand slam dunk was completed!
This dunk instantly silenced the originally noisy Staples Arena.
Many Lakers fans were in disbelief at what just happened:
"That pass just now, and the change of hands in the air, has McGrady recovered?"
"It's unscientific! It's not like he didn't play in the first two seasons. His body was obviously broken. Why is he feeling strong again now?"
"omg! I've never seen this kind of speed from 'Rocket Wheat' before!"
His eyes returned to the field.
Kobe, who failed to defend, also looked at McGrady in surprise.
"Have you really recovered?"
Black Mamba suddenly spoke.
"Um."
Maddie nodded slightly.
"very good!"
Not only was Kobe not angry because he lost the ball, but he smiled with relief, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became even stronger.
He has never been one to fear strong enemies.
On the contrary, the stronger the opponent, the more it can arouse Black Mamba's fighting spirit!
If we say, before the game started, Kobe was happy for McGrady's comeback.
So now, he really regards Tracy McGrady as a strong opponent!
The offense and defense transitioned, and the Lakers reorganized their offense.
Kobe, who had just been scored a goal, undoubtedly asked for the ball at the top of the key and was ready to respond.
McGrady lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands, and assumed a standard defensive posture.
Ci Shiping on one side immediately moved to the weak side, trying to clear space for Kobe to play in isolation.
George, who followed him away, glanced at Kobe and Tracy McGrady from a distance.
At this moment, he actually wanted to replace McGrady and defend Kobe.
As we all know, George is a pure Mamba disciple.
Kobe was both an idol and a target for him.
However, George also knows that with his current strength, he is not enough to stand opposite Kobe.
But he is confident that it won't be long before he can confidently stand on the opposite side of Kobe like Tracy McGrady and challenge him!
When Kobe saw that his teammates had all spread out, he started dribbling the ball and preparing to launch an attack.
He first slowly dribbled the ball from left to right while observing McGrady's position.
Seeing that the latter's left foot was slightly forward, Kobe suddenly started and broke through to the left.
McGrady reacted immediately and moved sideways to prepare for defense.
At this moment, Kobe suddenly changed his tactics and used a huge crossover to switch the ball to his right hand.
This is not over yet!
Kobe then made a hesitant step and looked up at the basket.
McGrady, who had just lost his defensive position, finally adjusted his center of gravity, returned to position at full speed, and prepared to block the shot.
But, he was deceived by Kobe again.
Black Mamba's fake shot turned out to be real, and the Spirit Snake came out and drove directly into the basket.
Facing Tucker's help on defense, Kobe showed no fear and went head-on.
In the air, he tightened his abdomen and flew to the other side of the basket. Then with a flick of his wrist, he made a lowhand layup.
answerball!
"pretty!"
In the CCTV commentary box, Yang Yi said excitedly.
This is a typical Kobe goal!
No pick-and-roll, no complicated tactics, just the simplest 1-on-1 singles.
Even before the Lakers offense started, many people knew that Kobe was going to respond to the dunk just now.
Even so, the Rockets couldn't stop the Black Mamba from sending the ball into the basket.
After scoring the goal, Kobe looked at McGrady and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if to say: "How about it, my move is not bad, right?"
Maddie also smiled helplessly.
Although his physical function has returned to its peak, it is still extremely difficult to defend Kobe.
The game continued, Lowry advanced with the ball.
Defending him is Fisher, a veteran who is good at taking action at critical moments and turning the tide.
He had a very brilliant career and had many wonderful moments.
The most classic one is undoubtedly the Western Conference Finals that year.
Fisher caught the ball in the last 0.4 seconds, without making any adjustments, and shot a three-pointer directly to complete the game-winner!
However, time has passed and the little fish back then has become an old fish.
As people age, their legs age first.
Fisher's originally poor lateral movement ability has become even worse due to the erosion of time.
But losing is not losing face, Fisher's defensive posture has always been very good.
I saw him put down his horse, take root immediately, and open his hands naturally, like a giant Buddha, giving people an endless sense of oppression!
Seeing that the person coming was evil, Lori quickly sped up.
The next moment, Fisher stayed where he was, only turning his head.
The old fish's expression is still so determined, and his horse steps are still so steady.
For those who didn’t know, they thought he was defending King Lanling.
Gasol, who was guarding the Lakers' interior, saw that the first line of defense was easily overcome and quickly came to make up the defense.
But this supplement missed Griffin, who was opposite him.
Seeing the move, Lowry flicked his wrist and threw the ball into the air.
He threw the ball so high that even with a wingspan as long as Gasol's, he couldn't intercept the ball!
"Hey, this ball is a mistake. It's thrown so high. Who can catch it?"
Yu Jia said doubtfully.
"It should be a loss..."
Before Yang Yi could finish his words, a white figure had already flashed into the air, directly interrupting his words.
This person is none other than Griffin!
I saw him jumping up, his feet flying into the air at high speed like stepping on rockets.
At the highest point, Griffin's head even exceeded the basket!
Finally, he caught Lowry's overly powerful pass.
At this moment, the other nine people on the court had stopped moving and looked at Griffin quietly.
