He wanted to have a one-on-one duel with Kobe in the top arc.

This actually has no other meaning, it is that DeRozan wants to prove himself and test himself, and finding the league's strongest No. 2 position to test is of course the best choice.

What? You mean Harden? Come on, who still thinks Harden is the league’s top shooting guard?

Didn’t you see that Kobe Bryant averaged 40+ points per game? How many points does Harden currently have? Harden currently only averages 24.8 points per game, which is almost half less. The Rockets’ current record is not as good as the Lakers. How can they have the dignity to pick up the No. 1 spot?

One-centile position?

In the face of challenges, Kobe has long thought clearly that he will not escape any challenge this season, and he will accept any challenge to the end, because this is his last dance, the last season. No regrets can be left behind.

Down.

Now the fans are all cheering, they all want to see this scene.

Although this is the home court of the Lakers.

DeRozan dribbled the ball, changed direction, and then stepped forward to break through. Kobe reacted extremely quickly and quickly followed up, completely denying his opponent a chance to enter the three-point line. DeRozan stopped suddenly under his crotch and wanted to change direction to cut in, but the Lakers

Team No. 24 stood on the breakthrough route faster than him. DeRozan's center of gravity was unstable and he almost lost his balance when he hit it.

In fact, DeRozan is already considered a very strong No. 2 player, weighing about 220 pounds. But now Kobe is stronger and more terrifying, and his physical fitness, experience and skills are all far beyond the former. This makes DeRozan

There is really nothing we can do.

So in the end, he could only hold the ball and shoot it. This kind of ball lacks physical balance and preparation. Basically, it is difficult for an excellent three-point shooter to shoot it. Unless he is a sharpshooter, it is about the same. But do you think Germany

Is Rozan some kind of marksman? To put it bluntly, his three-pointers are not accurate. He is not as accurate as Ryan Kelly of the Lakers.

No joke, Ryan Kelly's three-point shooting percentage this season is 2.4 attempts and 0.8 hits, reaching 33.8%. What about DeRozan? It's much worse than him.

Basically, to exaggerate, DeRozan scored a three-pointer. Except for the wide open space, it was a "lucky ball."

In fact, until the 16-17 season, he had never practiced a 3-point shot, and he was different from Kobe Bryant and Iverson. The latter were both strong shots, pull-ups, and difficult shots. DeRozan was

The gap between the two sides is clear at a glance.

Do you dare to let Kobe Bryant shoot a three-pointer? Popovich doesn't even dare! But DeRozan, some people are willing to bet like this, because compared to his excellent mid-range, his three-point shooting is scum. Not at all

Go too far.

28% in his regular season career and 20% in his playoff career. What kind of three-pointers do you want him to shoot?

He himself doesn't have much confidence to take action, even if it's open.

Tang Qian was in position and ready to grab the rebound, but... a "swipe" sound made everyone stunned.

Enter? Enter? His posture is obviously deformed, how can he still enter???

Obviously his three-pointers were so ridiculous that he didn't even dare to take them when he was open, but he actually made a forced shot under Kobe's pressure and guarding???

This, this is definitely a big ball of luck!!!

After the goal, not only the Lakers were dumbfounded, but DeRozan himself couldn't believe it, but if he scored, he scored, and he had to pretend as much as he should. This is an ability that NBA stars must possess.

"Sorry, Mr. Black Mamba, I scored this ball."

Amid the somewhat disappointed "Oh" sounds from the fans in the audience, Kobe looked at DeRozan and said, "I saw it, you did a good job."

Before DeRozan could answer the call, he heard Lakers player No. 24 continue: "It's my turn next."

Kobe caught the ball at half court, reached the top arc, and then without much movement, he just pulled it up and shot!

Damn it! This is also possible???

DeRozan and Tang Qian couldn't believe it when they saw it, because there was clearly no preparation for this ball. It was a complete force! Force! Raptors No. 10 didn't react in time, and in the end they could only

Watching the Lakers take a shot on the 24th.

The basketball drew a high parabola, and Tang dived under the basket to block the block.

The main inside man of the Raptors is Jonas Valanciunas. He is a post-90s generation from Lithuania. He is not yet 22 years old and is very young. He has a decent figure, 7 feet tall and more than 10 years old.

The tonnage of 265 pounds is decent, but the upper limit is not high. If he doesn't have a thorough understanding and enlightenment, he will probably be an ordinary starting player. But now that big men are scarce, he can still get a multi-million contract in the "big contract era".

But compared with the current Tang Qian, he is not good enough, and he is not an opponent at the same level at all.

Tang Qian is meticulous in his position no matter whether there are rebounds or not. This is also due to Dennis Rodman's good training, because many inside players now "watch the ball and eat". Before the basketball touches the basket, it is difficult to get stuck in the position.

The awareness of blocking and blocking is very poor. That’s why retired insiders in the past said that NBA insiders have become worse. The reason is not only scoring, but also details and awareness.

Tang Qian still remembers Rodman's words when he gave him special training for the first time.

He did not have these "bad habits" and was "forcibly destroyed" by Rodman.

Brush~

But after the goal was scored, Kobe began to explode, and he actually became a "super god" again.

Jordan once said that the closer you are to your personal peak, the easier it is to enter "The Zone" and "Super God". This sentence is definitely a "golden sentence", because the worse your ability is, the worse your physical condition will be.

It is difficult to enter the explosive zone, let alone the "super god"? And "The.Zone", especially the "super god", places a heavy burden on the body. The older you get, the less you can bear this consumption. For example, last season's

The Spurs, just like that, spent too much fighting against the Lakers, so they were unable to follow up later and were easily defeated by the Heat. In the original time and space, the Spurs almost defeated the Heat.

The same was true for Kobe last season. He played "The.Zone" and "Super God" a few times too many times, and his body couldn't bear it. Although he wrote many classics in the end, the price was a torn Achilles tendon.

But now, he doesn't have this problem at all. Unless he is a "super god" continuously, then side effects will occur.

"How's it going? How does my three-pointer compare to the one you just made?" Kobe said after he made the shot, looking at DeRozan.

After all, DeRozan is also a star. He tried to get it back with the next ball, but one-on-one was simply a wrong decision. Now he wants to have a bullfight with Kobe, but his ability is far worse. In fact, the main focus of the first three quarters is to maintain the pick-and-roll.

is correct.

"Kobe cut off DeRozan's dribble, Kobe charged, Bang~ dunk!"

"Be careful when dribbling. My hands are always very fast. You are easily intercepted by me. Do you understand?" Kobe said after scoring the goal. DeRozan was a little red-faced, but the more this happened, the more unwilling he was.

, he ran over and beat Kobe hard on the next ball. Maybe the Raptors were still ahead by a lot, so he didn't feel much pressure.

Duang~ Missing the shot, Kobe Bryant's defensive ability is really a monster at the 2nd position.

Maybe even stronger than when he was at his strongest, I don't know for sure.

After all, when the body was in the best condition, the technical experience was still lacking, but now it is better. With a peak body and more than ten years of court experience, this bonus, the burst of energy, is extremely terrifying. Tang Qian fought hard against Jonas Varan.

Ciunas got the defensive rebound, and the latter had almost no resistance in front of the former.

His body, skills, talent, and intuition are all completely blown away. Tang Qian, who averages 8+ rebounds per game, is just as good as an outside shooter at the moment.

It's completely impossible to compete with him.

Tang Qian passed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe continued to find DeRozan. He looked at Raptors No. 10, who was getting a little nervous, and said: "Your shooting talent is very good, but you hesitate too much in your heart. If you can change this,

A little, your mid-distance will be taken to a higher level."

Kobe actually has a good impression of DeRozan, because there are very few No. 2 players with a "classical playing style" like the latter, and he doesn't mind giving some on-site teaching and guidance when he hits a critical hit.

This approach is what Michael Jordan did back then. After establishing that he must win, I will teach you by the way, which can be regarded as an inheritance. As for whether you can listen to it and how much you can learn, that is your own problem. If you have watched Jordan

autobiography, and have watched the early game videos between Kobe and Jordan, especially during the Red Bulls period, then you will see many scenes of Kobe asking Jordan questions on the court.

Kobe was indeed very arrogant and arrogant when he was young, but on the court, besides giving his best, he was still not ashamed to ask questions when he met Jordan.

So if you are crazy, you should be crazy, and if you are arrogant, you still have to ask if you don’t understand.

You can "ask down" if you have no interest in the weak, but when it comes to people who are stronger than you, it is best to maintain an "ask down" attitude, otherwise it would be stupid to be blindly crazy.

You can see Kobe's respect for and learning from Jordan in many interviews later. For example, in the first year after retiring, Kobe said in an interview program: He does not agree with resting, especially young players and players who are still at their peak.

Do it like this. Because Jordan told him that these fans bought tickets to watch him play. If you think about them, some of them may be coming for the first time or the last time, so even if you are not in good condition, your health

If you feel unwell, fight if you can.

Jordan has said similar words on many occasions, and it is absolutely impossible to only tell Kobe, but only Kobe remembers it the most. Therefore, in the years when Kobe won the championship, his hand was always injured and bandaged.

The game continued smoothly, so that in the end everyone got used to it and became numb.

Look, when it comes to Kobe Bryant winning the championship, several fans have said this.

I guess many Komi have forgotten it.

So for the same sentence, it depends on how much you can understand it and how much you can absorb it. There are many people who have experienced Xiao Zao in Jordan. The only one who can achieve this level is Kobe Bryant. Therefore, Jordan later said that Kobe is the most like him.

, it is understandable that he most wanted to compete with Kobe Bryant in his prime.

However, for players like them, whether they are willing to teach you or not depends entirely on their mood, without any logic or reason.

Having said that, Kobe suddenly took off. This was actually not a good opportunity, and his position was not even too wide, but No. 24 took off and took the shot! And DeRozan clearly saw that in the former's eyes, there was a dagger-like pulse.

determination!

It felt as if the ball would definitely go in.

Not even 1% doubt.

None of them exist.

This is definitely the most determined look DeRozan has ever seen shooting a basketball since he joined the NBA.

Because DeRozan only joined the NBA in the 2009-10 season and only had 20+ playing time in the first season, the real Kobe he knew was already in his late stages. He had not witnessed or experienced the real peak period with his own eyes.

But tonight, he got this opportunity. Kobe's ball allowed him to see what is called "classical point play".
