Chapter 159 The highlight of the live broadcast in the United States~
"Kill.shot~"
After Isiah Thomas saw the ball, he shouted loudly in the live broadcast room.
"Kill.shot? Such an appropriate word! Who took this shot? Is it you, Isiah?" Jeff Van Gundy said.
"No, John Calipari said it first, and my original idea is smash."
"He can block this ball. He is indeed worthy of the nickname Smash. I understand." Jeff Van Gundy said.
"Haha~ This guy's shot blocking is one of my favorites. It's violent, scary, and catches people off guard!"
"Let me see, with this block, he has accumulated 5 blocks in this game. This ability is very powerful~" Following Jeff Van Gundy's words, Isiah Thomas said: "That's it.
The output is not stable enough, and it often fails every game, which is a pity.”
Jeff Van Gundy shook his head when he heard this and said: "I don't think so, Isiah. I just checked this kid's career statistics. His playing time is only about 5+. In such a small amount of playing time, he can
To achieve this level is already very good. If he plays more games, his average statistics may be much better."
"I think so too. It just depends on when he can squeeze out Troy Murphy, who is also an inside man. The NBA is so cruel. If you want to move forward, you can only kill the people in front of you."
"Yes, I totally agree with you on this point." Jeff Van Gundy said: "When playing basketball, especially professional basketball, you have to be ruthless. And the introverted and uncompromising character of an Oriental can easily make him miss the opportunity.
"
"None of us can help with personality matters. We can only see if China Hot is so cruel."
Kobe got the rebound, counterattacked, and directly advanced alone. However, it has to be said that the Lakers' legs and feet are no longer as agile as they were in the 2008-09 season. Since the wing was replaced by Ci Shiping, they have to deal with powerful players.
The forward's defensive ability has been strengthened a lot, but when it comes to dealing with speedy and agile wing players, he is not as good as Trevor Ariza back then. After all, Ariza was born in 1985. Compared with Ci Shiping, he is about 6 years younger.
, there is no doubt about the difference in athletic ability. In addition, Kobe is older, and his speed and agility are gradually declining. Therefore, starting from last season, the Lakers played slower and slower, and the ratio of fast breaks and sports battles
, showing a decreasing trend year by year. Without speed and explosiveness, it is almost impossible to play a smooth defensive counterattack. Especially facing the Miami Heat, which has the "Big Three", whether it is Wade or James, the return of the two
The defense speed is not that fast.
Although Kobe's advancement speed was not slow, he was still blocked by Wade midway.
This season's "Flash" has just turned 30 years old and one month old. Compared with Kobe who was 1978 years older, he was undoubtedly more advantageous in athletic ability in 1982.
But Kobe is Kobe. Faced with Wade's strong block, he changed direction and perfectly passed his opponent, then went straight to the Heat's basket.
At this time, the person who rushed back to the basket was none other than "Little Emperor" LeBron James.
Seeing this scene, countless reporters raised their cameras and their spotlights began to flash, for fear of missing any small detail.
Kobe VS James, this was a topic forced by the NBA in the last years of Stern's administration.
Why is it called force? Because anyone with a discerning eye knows that the two are not players of the same era at all. Calculated by the average career age of the NBA, James was born on December 30, 1984, and he was almost born in 1985. There is a total difference of 7 years between the two.
Years. 4 years is the career time of an average NBA player. This means that Kobe and James are separated by more than one generation, almost two generations. Therefore, it makes no sense to compare these two people forcefully. It’s just that the NBA is
Business alliances need talking points all the time, so Stern made the decision to publicize the so-called 23VS24.
How old is James this year? He is just 27 years old, in his prime! And Kobe? He is already 33 and a half years old, and will be 34 in 5 months. His overall condition is no longer at his peak. But even so,
Now, he is still one of the strongest competitors in the league. Perhaps in terms of hard ability, he can no longer compare to James, but on the offensive end, he has his own pride.
Let alone LeBron James, even if that person comes and stands in front of you, so what?
Still don't try to stop me!
This is Kobe's confidence in himself.
It’s also Kobe’s self-esteem for himself.
Dribbled into Miami's paint, then without slowing down, he actually pushed James for a layup.
James was a little surprised. He thought that when Kobe saw him guarding the basket, he would choose a floater or a pull-up jumper, but the opponent did not dodge and chose to confront him directly. This kind of energy was really amazing.
But James is not a star who is strong in offense and weak in defense. The combination of offense and defense that Kobe once was proud of is also a description of him. Therefore, after entering the league a few years ago, it is not a problem to have a double team. In addition, he is taller than Kobe.
He needs to be strong, so he is not too afraid to defend this ball.
It's a pity that James still underestimated the man in front of him. In the face of the decisiveness of the offense, if you look at the entire history of the league, except for the strongest "God of Basketball", no one can challenge him. Even this season's MVP call
The same goes for the tallest LeBron James.
Pa~
LeBron's wave did not hit the basketball, but hit Kobe's arm firmly.
But even so, the latter still reluctantly threw the basketball and threw it into the center of Miami's backboard.
Beep~
Because both of them are superstars and iconic figures in the league, the referee does not have a "superstar whistle" and is his only choice to enforce the law impartially. Otherwise, it would not be fun if the fans on both sides would cause trouble.
Brush~
It sounded almost at the same time as the referee's whistle, and the sound of the basketball falling into the net was intoxicating.
After scoring an extra penalty, Kobe beat LeBron hard. James hit an And.one, and the Staples Center was filled with shouts.
80-75.
Brush~
Kobe stood on the free throw line and made the free throw steadily.
81-75, the score difference was instantly widened to 6 points.
"Kobe Bryant, this guy is still so stubborn." James couldn't help but say something when he saw Kobe turning around and returning to the Lakers half.
"Of course. Didn't you learn from this guy's mentality in 2008?" Wade also came over and said: "He is so decisive that he doesn't even look like a human being!"
"It doesn't matter." James smiled and said, "There is still such a long time anyway. I don't believe that the two of us combined can't handle him!"
"That makes sense. No matter how strong he is, he is just one person. How can he possibly defeat the two of us? Do you really think we are ordinary stars?"
"Dwayne, let's improve the strength of the defensive end later. As long as we can contain No. 24 on the opposite side, the Lakers' offensive firepower will be half muted."
"Okay, that's what I meant." Dwyane Wade agreed immediately.
The Heat attacked, and Wade used Haslem's pick-and-roll to go straight to the basket. Tang Qian wanted to cover the opponent, but with a "swish", the opponent passed in front of him. That feeling,
Like lightning, it is hard to guard against.
Wei-style lost track?
This was a word that came to Tang Qian's mind. He broke through the gap, changed directions magnificently, and instantly passed himself who rushed to defend himself.
You must know that Wade this year is still the real "Flashman". He can easily get past Tang Qian, let alone Tang Qian. This is for Wade at the peak.
, is definitely a common thing.
Facing Pau Gasol standing at the end, Wade bounced high, stretched out his waist and abdomen, and raised his hand to blast the Lakers' basket.
Boom~
Gasol tried his best to defend the ball, but he still couldn't avoid the fate of being dunked. In front of the peak "Flashman", there is no such thing as a seven-foot-long man. Even if Yao Ming was standing in the paint, he
It's true that this violent way of playing has brought Wade countless fans.
Not only that, after Wade dunked successfully, the referee also blew the whistle.
Pau Gasol's thug fouled, the goal counted, and one penalty goal was added.
Just now, Kobe just hit a 2+1, and Wade turned around and hit back.
The meaning of tit-for-tat is self-evident.
Kobe and Wade have a good relationship off the court, but on the court, they are absolute competitors. There are many good shows between the two sides fighting against each other. Compared with LeBron James and Dwayne, who are not in the same position.
.Wade can be regarded as Kobe’s opponent. Without Kobe’s long-term suppression, the historical status of “The Flash” would be significantly higher than it is now.
Brush~
Wade added a free throw, 81-78, and the score difference was once again narrowed to within 3 points.
Kobe glanced at Wade, the desire to win in his eyes became even more fierce. He received Fisher's pass and immediately made a big move. He made an emergency stop and made a three-pointer. With a "swipe" sound, the basketball was instantly penetrated.
The Heat's net.
84-78, Kobe tilted his head slightly towards Wade, the meaning was very obvious.
You try this.
Dwyane Wade's expression was a bit bitter, because everyone knows that the "Flash" has poor firepower outside the three-point line. This season's three-point shooting rate is only 26%, which is evidence of this. Open shots are so inaccurate.
Well, if the disciplines are better than forcing others to compete, then it would be weird to be able to get in. So when Wade saw Kobe's actions, he didn't know how to refute it.
"Buddy, don't be so sad. It's just a three-pointer. I'll help you get back on the court." Just when Wade was holding his breath, LeBron James stood up and said.
"LeBron, it's not easy to fight with him. You..."
"Come on Bro, the three-point shooting I worked hard on during the offseason is not a vegetarian, just keep an eye on it." James said confidently.
There is a reason why LeBron James is confident. After a summer of hard training, his three-point shooting percentage this season has increased by 3.2%. A three-point shooting percentage of more than 36% is enough for him to be willful.
Maybe his ability to make strong shots against people is not as good as Kobe's, but if Bibi makes the choice, James will be several times better than Kobe.
Facing defender Ci Shiping, James received a pass from Wade. He was first a triple threat, and then made two short probing steps. Just when the former thought he was going to break through, James took off and shot.
Because Ci Shiping made the ball to prevent him from breaking through, he stood far away and a little back. This gave LeBron James an opportunity to make a three-pointer and directly fall into the bag. Although the scene was not as exciting as Kobe just now,
But the 3 points added to the scorer are real.
84-81, the score difference is back to before.
"Hot, defend well. The destructive power of the Heat's two super giants is not ordinary." Pau Gasol seemed to have seen some clues and quickly said to Tang Qian beside him.
"Well, I will be careful." Tang Qian was already deeply touched by the huge attack power. Even if it was not deliberately targeted at him, the momentum was enough to scare people. If he dared to be careless in the slightest, he would be killed.
The super giant sifted it smoothly, and that was the result.
Duang~
Kobe missed the shot. This is his shooting habit. If he scores consecutively, he usually has to shoot until he misses.
And competing with two super giants at the same time, even he would inevitably feel a little bit strenuous.
Tang Qian grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Fisher outside the three-point line. The latter made a decisive jump shot, but was unable to put the ball in. The rebound was taken away by James.
"Back to defense! Back to defense!!!"
Kobe shouted loudly while chasing Wade.
Fortunately, this time, the Lakers' old arms and legs quickly rushed back to their own half, preventing Miami from easily launching a quick counterattack.
Looking at the Zijin No. 24 with no flaw in defense in front of him, Wade quickly calmed down and did not choose to fight with him anymore. Instead, he made a gesture and asked a teammate to pick and roll.
hateful.
Seeing that the opponent refused to be one-on-one with him, Kobe cursed in his heart, because even if he is a super giant, once he is picked and rolled, he can only sigh and be beyond his reach. Even if Michael Jordan, who has won DPOY, comes, for pick and roll,
There is nothing he can do. This is a nightmare that is difficult to crack alone.
Seeing that Kobe was blocked, Wade immediately turned on full power and ran straight to the Lakers' inside line. Derek Fisher, who ran over to cover up the defense, was not noticed at all. He dribbled the ball behind his back and knocked "Old Fish"
"Give it and clean it."
Breaking into the Lakers' paint once again.
Gasol may have been haunted by the shadow just now, so when faced with the ball, he failed to defend in time. The wide-open Lakers inside line allowed Wade to drive straight in and reach the hinterland penalty area in the blink of an eye.
Wade dunked again.
As for the No. 29 rookie under the Lakers' basket, he has no scruples at all.
Wade didn't jump high for this dunk, because he felt that No. 29 would not have the guts to come over and stop him.
Therefore, in order to save energy, Wade's dunk height is far lower than the average.
As for Tang Qian, will he watch helplessly?
of course not.
Not to mention the tasks issued by the task card, even if there is no task at all, as a center inside, he still has the responsibility to defend his team's basket territory.
This is the responsibility of the center and also Tang Qian's principle.
It's not Tang Qian's style to watch his opponents invade without taking any action.
Therefore, due to two factors, Tang Qian moved and stood right between Wade and the Lakers basket.
This goal immediately made the hearts of countless people on the other side of the ocean twitch.
Facing a giant attack head-on...can he do it?
Sitting in front of the TV and computer, many people couldn't help but say something from the bottom of their hearts.
