Chapter 143 Heroes meet on the road and the brave wins

Odom stared blankly at Jack in front of him, Odom never thought that Jack would appear in that place.

After Jack finished the cover, he was also extremely excited. Jack clenched his hands into fists and punched his chest hard a few times to vent the excess passion in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his head to the sky and screamed a few times!
Lakers attack!
The Lakers still handed the ball into Kobe's hands, after Kobe's firepower turned on.He couldn't stop, and Bryant received a pass from Parker.

Because of Kobe's hot three-pointer, the Hornets expanded their defense beyond the three-point line.

Kobe asked for a pick-and-roll from Kwame Brown on the inside. Kwame Brown's upper body, relying on Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll, Kobe threw off the defender Butler.

Kobe's shooting space appeared, Kobe stopped suddenly, and stood up, Kobe's body jumped up from the ground like a spring.

After Kobe's body rose to the highest point, Kobe's wrist lightly pressed the basketball, and it rolled out of Jack's hand...

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the basketball went straight into the net with a bang.

The third quarter was basically Kobe's performance time. Kobe scored 23 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and Kobe scored all the points of the Lakers in the third quarter.

And Jack also served as an organization to organize the Hornets' offense.However, the effect of Jack's doing this does not seem to be very obvious.

Throughout the third quarter, the Hornets passed a lot of good shots, but the players of the Hornets, whether they were starters or substitutes, became more and more sluggish, or even completely out of shape.

After the Hornets finished the third quarter, the Hornets had fallen behind by 12 points.After the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides came to 67 to 79.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the substitutes of both sides were on the court, competing!
Whether it's the Lakers' substitute or the Hornets' substitute, they are equally divided. In the first 4 minutes or so, the two sides drew another 10.

With the last 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Jack, who had a rare few minutes of rest, was put on the court again.

As soon as Jack came up, he used David West's pick-and-roll to find a shooting space. After a pick-and-roll, he made an emergency stop shot. Jack pulled up from the ground directly, shot a mid-range shot, and the basketball went straight into the net. , The basketball stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.

As soon as Jack came up, he narrowed the score to the last 10 points.

Lakers ball possession!

Except for Kobe, the main players of the Lakers, all other players have also returned to the game.

Kobe is not here, and Odom is in charge of basketball.

Kwame Brown wanted a position at the basket, and Odom stuffed the basketball in his hand into the hands of Kwame Brown, who was already stuck at the basket.

Although Kwame Brown is known as a parallel importer, it is still difficult for Hilton to defend against Kwame Brown alone.

Jack is clearly aware of this, and Jack keeps slipping between Odom and Kwame Brown.

Seeing Jack, who might be double-teamed at any time, Kwame Brown didn't dare to shoot easily.

Odom cut to the basket and saw that the basket was too congested. If he rushed in like this, it must be laborious and thankless.Therefore, Odom chose the next emergency stop shot from the free throw line, ending a wave of offense!
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.

All of a sudden, it was obviously a sunny day with the sun burning, and suddenly the clouds began to cover, and there were lightning and thunder.A black shadow enveloped Odom's head, and with a muffled bang, Jack slapped the basketball that Odom threw into the air one by one.

Odom didn't know why he was so unlucky today, and he met such a god like Jack.Just being blocked by Jack twice today, how can you tell Odom how embarrassing it is?

"OMG... unbelievable... Odom got blocked again, how did Jack do that?"

Smith's voice stammered, and even though he had seen too many weird situations in the league, he still had a look of disbelief.

In the auditorium, everyone was extremely surprised, and then there was a kind of boundless anger, shouting at the basketball court:
"Technical foul!"

"Technical foul! Evict that New Orleans redneck!"

The fans were arrogant and put pressure on the referee desperately.

Covered!I'm covered again!Odom had an indescribable feeling in his heart for a while.He really didn't understand how Jack was able to block him.

He obviously saw that Jack was helping Hilton defend, so why did he appear in front of him all of a sudden?
If Odom wants to know the answer, he can only find out carefully in the replay.

Judging from the big screen at the scene, Jack has been helping Hilton defend Kwame Brown, without paying attention to Odom's side.But when Odom was about to catch the ball and make an emergency stop, Jack pounced on it like a cheetah pouncing on food and scoring. His big hand covered the sky and the sun, as if he had locked on to the basketball. No matter what happened, Odom could not escape being blocked. .

Jack's block boosted the morale of the Hornets.

Phil Jackson saw that the morale of the Hornets began to improve again, and Kobe was immediately put back on the court.

Jack's shocking cover just now slapped the basketball out of bounds.Still the Lakers have the ball.

As soon as Kobe came up, he firmly controlled the ball in his own hands.

Still facing Butler's defense, Kobe used a sudden change of rhythm to pass the defender Butler, and Butler is now full of depression and has nowhere to vent.

Because Kobe's strength has almost recovered after resting for a few minutes.Kobe soared his speed to the extreme.

Kobe was like a gust of wind, passing by Butler's side, and Butler couldn't stop him at all, coupled with his extremely weird change of direction and making full use of his good physical fitness, basically he I can't prevent Kobe.

Bryant passed Butler, and then went inside again. Hilton looked at Kobe's line with a little trepidation, and unconsciously covered his ass. He couldn't wait and see.

Saw the Hornets' paint in the paint, but,

Kobe didn't slow down his speed because of him, but instead rushed towards David West seemingly unstoppable.

David West was taken aback. Could it be that Kobe rushed over and knocked himself over with a technical foul?Could it be that when did I pick up the money he left on the road and didn't return it to him?

The moment David West was thinking wildly, the moment Kobe was about to hit him completely, the moment David West closed his eyes and was about to fall backwards, Kobe suddenly disappeared in front of him .

David West was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that Kobe had already cleaned him up.

In the eyes of others, the ball just now was that Kobe was about to hit David West, suddenly turned around and passed him, and then pierced deep inside.

Kobe, who was running at high speed, rose directly from the ground and made a mid-range shot. With a bang, the basketball hit the net. Kobe's coming up again depressed the Hornets' morale.

The difference between the two sides came to 12 points again.

Hornets possession of the ball!

As soon as Jack got the ball, Odom forced him, but he didn't defend him tightly like Butler defended Kobe, staying close to him.

Odom's strategy for defending Jack is very simple, preventing breakthroughs and not preventing shots.Odom even left the portal wide open to Jack.

In fact, the reason why Odom did this is entirely because of the conclusion he learned from watching Jack's game video: Jack does not have the ability to make three-pointers.

Seeing that Odom was defending himself like this, Jack was overjoyed and said, "Is this okay?"

With one step, Jack directly broke through the space left by Odom.

Odom subconsciously took a step back to prevent Jack from starting.However, Jack didn't intend to break through at all, seeing that Odom had been shaken away by himself, and the shooting space had appeared.

Jack didn't care so much, he jumped up and shot. Odom didn't expect it at all, and deliberately let him go so that he wouldn't be fooled. Instead, he chose a long-range jumper, and in shock, he reached out to block the shot.

Such a distance, apart from giving Jack some psychological effects, has no form of oppression at all.

The basketball hit the net with a bang!
The Hornets approached the score until there were only 10 points left, and there were more than 6 minutes left in the game.

The Lakers kill again!
Because the Hornets currently have a 10-point lead.Therefore, Kobe, who has played singles for almost the next half, surprisingly did not choose singles this time.Instead, he gave the ball to his teammates.

The Lakers' offense this time is also very simple. The Lakers use the

Pass the inside play.

Kwame Brown at the basket received a lob from Kobe in singles. Kwame Brown faced other leading centers in the league. Nine times out of ten he was blown.However, facing Hilton still seems to be more than capable.

Kwame Brown at the basket took advantage of his body and strength to squeeze Hilton into the basket abruptly.

After seeing that he had reached his attack range, Kwame Brown used his nimble footwork under the basket to turn around. The defending Hilton was caught off guard and staggered forward...

Kwame Brown beautifully turns around the basket, bends his knees, and takes off. Kwame Brown's unresisting body keeps rising in the air. Kwame Brown is about to slam the ball into the basket.

As he approached the basket infinitely, his body after flying into the air was like a black lightning bolt, and his right hand holding the ball condensed his angry strength.

At this time, Kwame Brown's eyes were only on the basket that was close at hand, and he couldn't see the expressions of other people at all.

If he could see it, he would definitely read the ending from those surprised eyes.

At this moment, Jack was like a cheetah on the African grasslands, lurking behind the prey at the moment of attack.

The moment Kwame Brown soared into the air, Jack showed his sharp teeth.

The moment Kwame Brown's hand was about to touch the basket, two big black hands that covered the sky flew over from behind Kwame Brown.

Jack regarded himself as a big and thick baffle, and flew behind Kwame Brown.Block Kwame Brown.Kwame Brown had no way to break through Jack's barrier in the air.

Kwame Brown, who lost his balance in the air, flew off the baseline and staggered forward.Moments before landing he saw a guy in a green jersey fall through the air behind him.

"Snapped!"

This clear and loud voice echoed over the entire venue, and that slap seemed to have won the hearts of all the Lakers fans who were watching the game at Staples.

The basketball in Kwame Brown's hand was directly confiscated by Jack, who held the ball tightly in his arms.

The chaotic chants, cheers and boos that filled the Staples Center from the beginning of the game disappeared without a trace in an instant.

There was a pause of about 0.0000 for a few seconds. Shouts, curses, screams... came out from the auditorium like a tide.

Suddenly, the entire basketball arena was swallowed up.

"Technical foul!"

"Technical foul! Expel that New Orleans hillbilly!" The fans were arrogant and put pressure on the referee recklessly.

Some fans with a slightly better temper and higher quality have already prayed to God:

"God, what happened just now!?"

"Is this hell, the worst things have happened!"

"Oh my god, I was slapped out of the field by this Kwame Brown guy!"

The referee's whistle did not sound, which means that Jack did not foul!
Byron Scott on the sidelines saw this defending beautifully.He happily waved his fists and roared on the coach's bench.

Kwame Brown suffered such a great humiliation and squeezed so much depression, at this moment, it exploded.

Kwame Brown couldn't care less about the faint pain in his back.With a bang, he jumped up from the floor, his eyes were bloodshot, his eyeballs were about to pop out, and he rushed to Jack like a aggressive lion.

His eyes were full of anger after being humiliated, and his clenched fist seemed to be about to wave Jack in front of him at any time.

Jack knew how much the guy in front of him hated him now, but he didn't care. In Jack's dictionary, there was no fear, let alone the concept of being kind to his opponent on the court.

However, Jack still overestimated Kwame Brown's toughness.He started to wilt at the sight of Jack.Amidst the scolding of the bottom line referee, he just gave him a chance to step down and waved his arm fiercely, "Remember, I will give you back everything I just did!"

Kwame Brown stretched out his right index finger and gritted his teeth at Jack.

Kwame Brown is still very tough verbally.

"No one has ever dared to threaten me. If you want to fly out, I don't mind sending you out of Staples again."

When passing by, Jack said softly in his mouth, the voice was so low that only he and Kwame Brown could hear.

Kwame Brown, who heard these words, stared fiercely at Jack who was walking towards the frontcourt.

What kind of onion is Kwame Brown?As much as he wanted to threaten Jack.Don't say it's Kwame Brown, even if it's Staples' owner Kobe Bryant coming.Jack wouldn't take it seriously either.

The only thing Jack has feared in his life is a threat.

Kwame Brown is cautioned by the referee for making a play with his hand.

Hornets possession of the ball!

Jack's consecutive blocks boosted the morale of the Hornets.

The Lakers haven't recovered from Jack's blocking.The Lakers still had a weak defense. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Hornets chased for 6 points in a row and narrowed the score to 4 points.

Phil Jackson, who has always been calm, now has an ugly expression.

He called a timeout and watched the game close by point by point.Phil Jackson's timeout was a must.

After returning from the timeout, Kobe took over all of the Lakers' offense alone!
Kobe held the ball, and Butler, who was defending Kobe, immediately stepped up to defend him. Kobe's eyes reflected the flames of battle...

Facing Kobe like this, Butler felt a little uneasy. Butler stared closely at Kobe who was dribbling back and forth along the three-point line looking for opportunities.

Kobe is almost 30 years old, but you haven't seen his obvious decline at all. If you give him too much space, your situation will be quite bad.

Five seconds had elapsed in possession of the ball, and Kobe suddenly changed his pace and began to break through to Butler's right, rushing towards the baseline.

Butler raised his hands high, and began to retreat quickly in an attempt to prevent his breakthrough route.

One step before Kobe was about to rush to the bottom line, Butler's pace just blocked his way forward, Hilton double-teamed from the flank, and Kobe's breakthrough this time seemed to have been cornered.

"Catch up?"

Butler is still wondering why Kobe's speed is not as fast as the one just now.

Before Butler could figure out the problem, Kobe kicked his feet on the ground vigorously at the moment he approached him, and raised his hands holding the basketball tightly. farther away.

"Backshot!"

Butler didn't know why he felt that Kobe's speed was slower than the breakthrough just now when he saw the scene in front of him. It turned out that this guy was tricking him into being fooled.

First use speed to widen the defensive distance between them, and when he regains his position, he uses a fadeaway jumper to penetrate his defense.Butler, who lost the space to attack, could only stretch his arms symbolically, trying to block Kobe's shot.

"This guy's fadeaway jumper is getting more and more abnormal. He is indeed a black mamba, very poisonous!!"

Jack's heart was also full of shock.

Kobe used a stretching motion to push the basketball out of his fingertips, and the basketball passed Butler's barely jumping hands.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the basketball smashed into the basket.The basketball pierced through the heart, and the basketball directly aroused a layer of brilliant waves on the rim.Kobe once again stabilized the score that the Hornets were about to catch up with.
