Chapter 353 Kobe's Terrifying Scoring Ability
Chapter 142 Kobe Bryant's Terrifying Scoring Ability
After the halftime break, the second half of the game between the two sides continued!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Hornets, led by Jack, took the lead in an 8-0 spurt.Under the leadership of Jack, the Hornets occupied the absolute dominance of the game at the beginning of the second half.

After Jack broke through the ball, Peja hit a three-pointer!

Jack forcibly broke through for a layup, and Jack made a strong 2+1 success!

Butler steals Parker's pass, Butler goes off quickly, and the underhand under the basket scores a layup.

The Lakers missed all of their first 4 offenses without exception.The basket seems to have added a cover to the Lakers players.

"Bah... bah... bah..." The sound of blacksmithing resounded throughout the Staples Center.

Odom took a step outside the free throw line, and the arc of the basketball's projection was very short. With a "bang", the basketball hit the front of the basket heavily.

Hilton seized the best landing point of the most favorable basketball, and Hilton controlled the rebound.

Jack controlled the rhythm of the game. Jack relied on David West's pick-and-roll. Jack went straight into the Lakers' penalty area and encountered a double attack from Odom and Kwame Brown.

Jack dribbled the ball at high speed, without looking at it, he flicked the arm directly, and the basketball was directly handed over to Peja Stockovic, who was already ambushing at the outer corner of the three-point line.

Peja Stockovic's touch was also very hot. He raised the knife and dropped it. With a sound of "washing", the basketball hit the net, and the basketball directly aroused a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.

The Hornets began to further expand the score to 11 points. The Hornets relied on Jack's organization to help the Hornets take an 11-point lead at the beginning of the second half.

Seeing that the score was gradually opened up, Kobe also became nervous.Kobe faced such impotent teammates, he had to start his invincible offensive mode.

I don't know what medicine Phil Jackson took wrongly. He ignored the situation on the field and let Kobe play according to his own ideas.A few minutes into the second half, the Lakers' triangle offense became Kobe's performance alone. The most important role of teammates was to help Kobe with screens or pick-and-rolls.

In fact, this is mainly due to the downturn of other Lakers players. Although Odom scored 8 points in the first half by relying on mid-range shots, he failed to grab a single rebound. At the beginning of the second half, this guy was actually distracted. Butler made a mid-range shot as if there was no one in front of him.

Not only Odom, but Smush Parker is also a blacksmith, missing four open jumpers in a row, making Kobe's last thought of passing the ball disappear.

After Jack successfully assisted Peja Stockovic, when Jack passed by Kobe's side, Jack also provocatively said: "Bryant, your teammates are really useless!"

Jack's sudden words stimulated Kobe, and this sentence also drove Kobe into a hurry!

Kobe's eyes were bloodshot, looking at this fragmented team, he had a kind of rage burning wildly, and for a moment, he entered that state of incomprehension.

As if back in 06, when he scored 81 points crazily, Kobe's desire to attack was like a beast that hadn't eaten for a few years.

Jack spraying trash is cool though.But it was Butler who defended Kobe who suffered.

The Lakers had the ball, Parker had just dribbled the ball for half court, and Kobe immediately went forward to ask for the ball.

Butler hurriedly took a step forward to defend, and Kobe dribbled the ball in front of Butler, swinging his left and right hands.

Compared with Paul's, Kobe's ball handling does not have Paul's aura and dazzling splendor. It is more of a solid and steady basketball that almost sticks to his hands.Butler wouldn't be stupid enough to steal Kobe's ball.

Butler was ready, his eyes were on Kobe's stomach, his legs were slightly bent, his arms were outstretched, and Jack assumed the most standard defensive posture.

Bryant is a forced dribble this time, his shoulder against Butler.But his direction was not rushing in, but a movement that brushed Butler's body and drifted near the three-point line.

Butler was moving with Kobe, he didn't dare to relax his defensive intentions, and his footsteps were also moving with Kobe.

Kobe had just reached about 45 degrees from the right wing of the three-point line, jumped up suddenly, and then his body had become an oblique angle with the ground, and his body was still sliding back.

Butler can only jump up to block the shot as much as possible, but everyone knows that Kobe's emergency stop and fallback jumper can grasp a wonderful time difference, which makes people caught off guard.Obviously this ball is also like this, and Butler was really caught off guard.

The basketball flew across the sky and flew towards the backboard in the distance.

Butler's figure of jumping up as hard as he could was still a beat slow, and his hands were finally a few centimeters away from the basketball.

The basketball leaves Kobe's right hand and glides toward the distant basket.

"Shh!"

With a bang, the basketball hit the net with a clean and crisp sound.

This is Kobe, the most incomprehensible basketball player on the basketball court.He can shoot from any position on the basketball court, and he has no blind spots for shooting.

Butler looked at Kobe, Kobe was still expressionless, Kobe looked indifferent, as if the ball he made just now was not his.

After Kobe made this three-pointer, the Lakers approached the score to 8 points left.

Hornets possession of the ball!

The Hornets held an 8-point lead, and Jack controlled the basketball in an orderly manner. After halftime, he dribbled again to David West who wanted the ball inside.

David West and Kwame Brown at the basket had a one-on-one chance.

"Kwame, I want you to score in front of me!"

David West got the basketball and said to Kwame Brown.

Who knew that Kwame Brown didn't bird him at all, but stared at David West closely, waiting for David West's next move.

David West's vision on the basketball court is also very broad.David West at the basket encountered a double-team defense. "Look at my..."

Before he could finish speaking, the basketball in David West's hand had disappeared.

After a while, there was a sound of "Shua!", and the clean and crisp sound of the basketball rubbing against the net between the basketball and the net sounded.

Under the defense of Wharton, Peja Stockovic received the basketball one step beyond the three-point line with Jack's empty-handed cover, and did not stop for a moment. Peja Stockovic raised his hand to shoot and dropped the ball Enter!

Lakers possession of the ball,

It was Kobe who dribbled the ball across the half court alone, and the other four players began to run across the court, trying their best to create good shots for Kobe.

Butler didn't defend him strictly before halftime, but didn't come out to defend him until Kobe came beyond the three-point line.

Kobe looked at Butler, the fighting spirit in his eyes surged rapidly, and then he changed direction in front of his body, pulling the basketball to his left, and the basketball was still getting higher and higher.

This is a more classic and important part of Kobe's "swaying left and right". He is now pulling the basketball up, and it is best to completely attract the opponent's attention.

The basketball got higher and higher, and Butler's center of gravity began to loosen a little.

"hiss!"

At this moment, Kobe's basketball suddenly stopped the trend of continuing to rise. On the contrary, after an extremely fast change of hand and direction, it has already reached the right hand.

Kobe was about to rush forward, his body had already leaned forward slightly, and it seemed that he was about to stab forward.

Butler retracted his center of gravity, and quickly retracted his right leg that was moving to the right. It seemed that he had already seen that Kobe's fake move was just moving his right leg to prevent Kobe from making the fake move come true. .

This time Butler's defense was really not covered.

Kobe Bryant thought so, his forward body suddenly retracted, and then the basketball disappeared in front of Butler's eyes!
After a few hundredths of a second, Butler finally fully reacted:

"This guy is going to repeat the same trick, and change the direction behind him again."

Knowing this, Butler pinpointed Kobe's direction, and his body completely shifted to the right.

Kobe did try to change direction from behind just now, but after Butler made a movement to the right, Kobe has changed his idea again, the basketball passed through the left crotch with the sound of wind, and returned to Kobe's Above the right hand, but Butler really made an empty shot.

With the wind in his ears, Kobe's speed reached the peak in an instant. Butler could only look at the ocean with helpless eyes and sigh. Looking at Kobe's back, he could only spread his legs and chase after him vigorously, but he also knew that he could catch up and defend against it. The chances of living in Kobe are basically slim.

Kobe had already come to the inside line, and then Hilton formed a flesh and blood wall in front of him, blocking Kobe's path, and Butler rushed over from the side, making it impossible for him to break through.

Basketball is a five-person sport. Even if one person has the best hands and eyes, he will still face tremendous pressure from the remaining opponents when he enters the paint.

If he shoots in order to shake a few people, the person he just passed basically catches up again.

Therefore, for an outside player, how necessary are the actions of a good emergency stop jumper.

Kobe looked at the situation in front of him and knew that he basically couldn't break through further.

At this time, Kobe suddenly thought of Peja Stockovic's terrifying quick shot from outside the three-point line just now, and a thought kept appearing for a while.

Therefore, under everyone's surprised eyes, when Kobe was blocked by Hilton and Butler's route, his body had already soared into the air.Caught off guard, the two insiders of the Lakers didn't know what Kobe was going to do at all, so they could only jump up half a beat behind Kobe.

Kobe's body rose into the air, and he adjusted his hand shape and his point of force in the air.By the time his body reached the highest altitude, the basketball had left his hands, slid across the sky, flung Hilton away, and flew into the basket.

"Shh!"

Jack dribbled the ball past halftime, and Jack's pass was intercepted by the Lakers.

The Lakers regained control of the ball.

The Lakers are on the fast break!
Kobe received a pass from the outside of the three-point line, a breakthrough that raised his speed to the peak, and did not deliberately collide with Butler. His strategy did work, as Butler basically pushed Kobe into the paint.

Kobe suddenly put away his strength at this time, and then stopped. Butler knew that Kobe likes to stand still and shoot shots to shake people, so when he first went to defend Kobe's hands that were about to shoot, his heels didn't move. off the ground.

Sure enough, Bryant quickly retracted his basketball, and then made another shot.

Butler thought that Kobe should have made a real shot this time, so his whole body jumped into the air.

Kobe smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then, using his left foot as the axis, his body suddenly made a large turn, turning around Butler, and then suddenly raised his hand to make a shot not very far from the basket.

"Shh!"

After shaking Butler away, Kobe's goal was crisp and neat.

After Kobe landed, Kobe looked at Jack with disdainful eyes.Kobe's eyes were full of provocation.

The Hornets were more confused than the Lakers. Jack's pass was intercepted by Kobe. Kobe almost hit the Lakers. Kobe came back and shot directly from outside the three-point line. Respond to the Internet!
Kobe Bryant scored 5 points in a row, helping the Lakers to approach the score with only the last 6 points left.

The Hornets faced Kobe's powerful offense, and Byron Scott really couldn't think of any good way to break it apart from double-teaming defense.

The Hornets' possession of the ball was also messed up by Kobe's rapid scoring momentum.

The Hornets' offense was fruitless, and Kwame Brown got the rebound again.

The Lakers attacked, or Kobe continued to hold the ball for singles.Kobe's hand was also hot at this time. The Lakers came back, and Kobe took advantage of the Hornets' defense not in time.Pulled up directly outside the three-point line and made a direct three-point shot, with a "swap", the basketball swiped into the basket, and the basketball directly aroused a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.

Kobe played more and more smoothly, and the Lakers relied on Kobe's own strength to directly close the score to the last 3 points. Kobe's frown became more relaxed.

After the Hornets started the offensive mode from Kobe, the Hornets fell into a scoring drought.

David West received a return pass from Jack, and made a mid-range shot. The basketball hit the top of the basket directly. With a bang, the basketball bounced high above the basket.

Because Kwame Brown was not suppressed by Tyson Chandler, Kwame Brown also began to be arrogant at the basket.Kwame Brown won the rebounding battle with Hilton.

The Lakers have the ball, and Kobe has the ball again.

Facing Kobe's powerful offensive momentum, the Hornets' defensive strategy must be adjusted to a certain extent.

As soon as Jack got the ball, the Hornets players immediately started double-teaming him.

Kobe is already surrounded by heavy siege, Butler is the main defense, Peja Stockovic simply let go of Wharton, Wharton made [-] of [-] open jumpers today, there is no need to defend, and Jack is also eyeing, ready to take three shots at any time Clip Kobe.

Came to the outside of the three-point line, Odom was at the top of the three-point line, Kobe dribbled from behind him, Butler quickly followed, but Kobe's lateral dribble was also faster, a moment Between to the left of Odom.

Taking advantage of this moment, Kobe grasped the time difference between the two and shot suddenly, even Jack who was defending Odom and Peja Stockovic who let go of Parker were caught off guard.

"Shh!"

The basketball flew across the court and flew into the basket, making a crisp friction sound.

Kobe Bryant's three-pointer also scored!

The Lakers tied the score by relying on Kobe's consecutive scoring!
The Lakers team at the scene resounded with cheers and screams like a wave of mountains and tsunami...

That sound could almost lift the cover on the basketball roof...

"Oh, oh, oh...still scored! Kobe's third three-pointer, is Kobe crazy today?" Kenny Smith cheered loudly on the commentary booth with his voice raised.

And what about Charles Barkley sitting next to Kenny Smith?On the other hand, he sat on the commentary seat with a calm face.

Seeing that Charles Barkley had nothing to say, Kenny Smith continued: "Man, Bryant's touch today is indeed very good. It can be said that in the third quarter, he used his own strength to go Saved a team. This is the difference between Kobe and Jack. Kobe is always able to step forward to save the team at critical moments. Look at Jack just now..." Kenny Smith said, and Didn't finish?There was a lot of exclamation at the scene!

After Kobe tied the score, at the same time, he himself began to encounter double-team defenses.

Kobe chose to pass this time, and the basketball was handed over to Odom above the three-point arc.

After Odom took the ball, he accelerated after a crotch dribble, and then changed direction, and he came near the free throw line in an instant. At this time, David West was already some distance away from him.

Odom stopped suddenly without hesitation, jumped up, and when his body reached the highest point, the basketball began to leave his right hand!

The shot feels good, the ball went in!Odom thought so in his heart.

Odom's thinking was indeed correct, but that was because he didn't know that there was still a checkpoint hidden behind David West.

A black shadow was directly bounced from the ground like a spring, Jack flew into the air, and Jack in the air completely stretched out his body, with a tyrannical face, an extremely ferocious face, and an extremely distorted facial expression. Facing the basketball that had risen to his eyes, he slapped it fiercely!

"boom!"

There was a muffled shot-blocking sound, and the audience who were about to cheer for Odom's wonderful goal were dumbfounded. After a while, there were deafening boos one after another, as if the ceiling of Staples was about to be shattered.
