Defending champion

Chapter 419 The Hornets Was Slaughtered

Chapter 2 The Hornets were slaughtered

At the beginning of the game, Kobe scored his 10th point alone.At the same time, this is also 10 points for the Lakers. All the points for the Lakers were scored by Kobe alone.Kobe's scoring ability is really nothing to say.

However, the Lakers like this are not the scariest.The most frightening thing is the fusion of the terrible Kobe and the Lakers.

On the Hornets side, in the first quarter, the Hornets failed to open except for Jack.

Therefore, under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers established a leading advantage at the end of the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the difference between the two sides reached 10 points.

22 is better than 32
In the second quarter, the Lakers continued the fiery touch of the first quarter.

As soon as Odom came up, he made an unreasonable mid-range emergency stop shot.

The Hornets' offense failed, and Kwame Brown got the rebound.

Although Kwame Brown is known as a parallel importer, Kwame Brown exerted his dominance in the low position against Hilton.

A turn around the basket, a successful dunk with both hands raised from the ground, a loud "boom", Kwame Brown's long-lost basket full of domineering dunks.

The audience at the center of Staples burst into cheers, and some fans even shouted Kwame Brown's name.

Seeing the passionate shouts of the home fans, Kwame Brown was also excited.

The Hornets' offense has not yet, Kwame Brown swayed away from Hilton under the basket, a small hook shot under the basket, and the basketball crashed into the net.

The Hornets are not only weak in the main players, but the substitutes are also selectively depressed today.

When Jack waited for the attention players to return to the court, the point difference between the two sides had reached 20 points.

After halftime, the point difference between the two sides came to 24 points.

34 is better than 58
The Hornets were beaten in the first half with almost no room to parry.A Hornets team like this is simply not worthy of the name of the Hornets ranked fourth in the Western Conference.

Although this game has nothing to do with the final ranking of the playoffs, but after halftime, the point difference of his team came to 24 points.Byron Scott's face was extremely ugly.

The 24-point difference, no matter which coach it is, is a naked shame.

………………

"Man, it seems that the performance of the Hornets today may have disappointed us." Kenny Smith gloated from the side.

Charles Barkley responded: "Man, what are you talking about? Whether you lose or win this game, it will have no effect on the ranking of the playoffs. The Hornets must preserve their strength. This point Can't you see it? You've been watching football for twenty years."

Seeing what Charles Barkley said, Kenny Smith was still dissatisfied and very upset. He found fault with Jack again and said, "There is nothing wrong with you saying this, but there is one thing you cannot deny. The fact that Kobe and Jack occupy the first and second places in the scoring list this season. So far, Jack is still 45 points behind Kobe. However, I think after this game is over, the difference between them Will continue to be expanded. Kobe will be the scoring leader this season."

"How do you say that?" Barkley saw Kenny Smith change the subject, and Barkley knew that Kenny Smith was targeting Jack again.Charles Barkley continued to ask Kenny Smith.

"It's very simple. After this game, Kobe has scored 31 points. If Kobe continues to follow this scoring momentum, Kobe may score more than 60 points in this game. And Jack has not He only scored 12 points. Even if Jack scored 12 points in the second half, he only scored 24 points. After the game, the gap between them will be further widened, and the chances of Kobe winning the title of scoring champion It's almost a matter of being on the bench," said Kenny Smith.

What Kenny Smith said made it impossible for Charles Barkley to refute it, because he was telling the truth.

However, Charles Barkley still insisted: "Jack, he is only a sophomore rookie now, and sooner or later the title of scoring champion will belong to Jack."

"That's for the future, I'm talking about now..."

"shit! ^^^"

While Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith chatted endlessly in the commentary booth, the game continued.

Although, during the intermission, Byron Scott had verbally stimulated the players of the Hornets, but this trick has been used too much, and now it does not seem to be so effective.

What's more, this game has nothing to do with the final ranking of the game. The Hornets players simply can't arouse any desire to win.

After all, not everyone is Jack, the kind of paranoid who has a persistent pursuit of victory.

The Hornets started the second half, and the situation of the game was a continuation of the state of the game in the first half.

Mistake, mistake, mistake or mistake? ? ?
Looking at such a Hornets team, fans who like them can't help feeling chilling.

In stark contrast to the Hornets is the Lakers. Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers brought out a smooth offense.

Kobe at the basket encountered a double-team. Kobe passed the ball without looking at anyone behind him. Kwame Brown followed up in time. After receiving the ball, Kwame Brown squatted down with both hands holding the ball on his chest. After much power.Kwame Brown jumped straight from the ground.

With a loud bang, Kwame Brown slammed the basketball into the basket with both hands.

Fans at the Staples Center at the scene, after seeing Kobe and Kwame Brown's wonderful cooperation, there was applause like waves hitting the shore.

The applause at the scene could almost knock down the basketball ceiling of the Staples Center.The Lakers fans at the scene almost returned to the era of the OK combination.

On the side of the Hornets, Jack was not so lucky. Jack, who was playing in the low post, also encountered double-teaming.

The basketball in Jack's hand was assigned to Peja Stockovic, who was already completely open on the perimeter.

However, Peja Stockovic turned out to be a non-stick player.

With a sound of "shabu", the basketball went directly out of bounds and violated the law, and the Lakers had the ball.

Kobe 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.

Because Kobe's scoring ability is very strong, many fans will selectively ignore Kobe's ability to organize offense.

Just now all the players of the Hornets have seen the power of Kobe's penetrating pass.

Therefore, when defending against Kobe at halftime, the Hornets did not double-team Kobe in advance.Double-teaming Kobe will suffer for this. As long as Kobe wants to pass the ball, his passing will not be worse than the passing master Stephen Nash.

Butler didn't defend him strictly before halftime, but didn't come out to defend him until Kobe came beyond the three-point line.Butler was eaten by sheets one after another, even though that person was Kobe, but Butler's inside line was still ignited with a monstrous fighting spirit.

Butler's arm kept waving in front of Kobe, and his arm kept shaking in front of Kobe, so as to interfere with Kobe's sight.

Kobe looked at Butler, and the fighting spirit in his eyes surged rapidly, and Kobe also showed a hint of a sinister smile.In Kobe's view, this kind of duel is the most interesting, defeating the opponent when his fighting spirit is the highest.

Kobe changed direction and pulled the basketball to his left. The basketball was getting higher and higher in his hands.

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!" Kobe's basketball suddenly stopped its upward trend at this moment. 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. .

Butler, who tried his best to defend, his defensive skills are not covered.He really deserves to be the person Jack likes.

Butler can do this, he has done enough.

However, how could Kobe be helpless in the face of such a defense? His forward body suddenly retracted, and then the basketball disappeared in front of Butler's eyes!
It took Butler a few hundredths of a second to fully react: "This guy is going to repeat his tricks and change his back again." Butler, who understood this, pinpointed Kobe's direction, and his body Offset completely 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.

Butler had tried his best to defend Kobe just now, but Kobe was as relaxed and freehand as he was.A sense of powerlessness arises spontaneously from the bottom of my heart.

Kobe had already come to the inside line, and then, Hilton formed a great steel wall of flesh and blood in front of him, blocking Kobe's path, and Peja Stockovich 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.

Kobe looked at the situation in front of him and knew that he basically couldn't break through further.Seeing the defensive layer that the Hornets have set up for themselves like an iron wall.

Kobe's mouth showed a sinister smile, so under everyone's surprised eyes, Kobe's body had already soared into the air when Peja and Hilton blocked his breakthrough route.

Faced with Kobe's sudden change of tactics, Hilton and Jack on the inside were caught off guard. They 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, across the sky, throwing away Peja and Hilton, and the basketball flew in another direction.

A golden shadow rose from the ground. At this moment, the players of the Hornets finally understood what Kobe wanted to do?
Knees bent, kicked the ground, Odom rose from the ground, Odom was in the air, dragging the basketball thrown by Kobe, there was a loud "boom", Odom even dribbled the ball hard smashed into the basket.

"Oh!!!! Bryant turned into a magician tonight. Is this a snow time show in the magician era?" Kenny Smith jumped up from his seat, and after raising his hands, he cheered heartily.

Charles Barkley, who was sitting next to him, was sitting beside him with a livid face. Even though Barkley was a loyal fan of Jack, seeing this situation, his face was indeed very ugly.

As a Hornets loyalist for so long, this is the first time Charles Barkley has been embarrassed in front of his fellow rival Kenny Smith.

Seeing that the momentum of the Lakers is getting stronger and stronger, the Hornets had to call a timeout again to curb the terrible momentum of the Lakers.

Seeing his team's score being pulled away step by step, and seeing his teammates selectively quit one by one, Jack really couldn't stand it anymore.

However, the anxious Jack's offensive choice is not very good, the shot at the basket.

With a "bang", the basketball hit the front of the basket heavily, and the basketball was bounced heavily.Rebound is grabbed by Kwame Brown.

The Hornets' offense does not score, and the Lakers have the ball!
Kobe dribbled the ball himself across half court, then came outside the three-point line and unexpectedly handed the ball to Odom.Seeing that the team led by so many points, Kobe also wanted to pass the ball out for his teammates to play.

However, with Kobe's successive wonderful performances, his teammates have appeared Kobe dependence again.

Although Butler saw that Kobe had passed the ball, he still stared at Kobe and did not dare to relax. Everyone knew that he was the most dangerous guy on the Lakers, and everyone was afraid of him.

Odom received the pass and handed it to Walton. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Walton finally had to pass the ball again and it came into Kobe's hands.

At this time, there are still 24 seconds left in the 9-second attack time.

Kobe glanced at the little time left and sighed helplessly.Then, he accelerated with a crotch dribble, followed by a change of direction, and he came near the free throw line in an instant. At this time, Butler was already some distance away from him.

Kobe 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!Kobe thought so.Kobe's touch was extremely hot throughout the game. So far, Kobe has scored 42 points, but Kobe only used 30 shots.

However, in a brief moment, Butler couldn't threaten him who jumped with all his strength, and another cyan shadow suddenly appeared from Kobe's left.

Then, at just the right moment, his right hand fiercely slapped the basketball!

"Bang!" There was a dull shot-blocking sound, and the audience who were about to cheer for Kobe'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. Same.

"Oh my god...it's unbelievable...Kobe Bryant was blocked, how did he do it?" Smith's voice stammered, even though he had seen too many weird situations in the league, he still looked helpless confidence.

"Kobe was blocked! Hahaha...Kobe was blocked by Jack!..." Charles Barkley said with a teary face.

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

On the bench of the Hornets, everyone can put an egg in their mouths, and Jack's blocking is indeed inspiring. All the substitute players of the Hornets jumped from their seats, and everyone put on a look Unbelievable look.

Lakers fans stared helplessly at the live screen, watching the replay of the ball just now.They roared fiercely in their hearts:

"How could this be? It's not true?"

"Honey, tell me quickly, I'm dreaming again, really!"

"My dear, we are all dreaming, how can someone cover Bryant, it is really a dream!"

……

The reaction of the audience in front of the TV was not so direct. When Jack saw Kobe was about to shoot and rushed to block the shot, their hearts seemed to be hit hard by a sledgehammer!
Dizziness, staring at the eyes.

Then, the sound of a basketball falling to the floor sounded, and most of the TVs were dead silent!
After a while, earth-shattering cheers broke out in front of the TV, and many guys even shed tears: fuck, I told you not to watch the game...you will regret it for the rest of your life!For missing the game.

After seeing Jack's wonderful blocking, some of his fans who were about to leave came back.

Because of Jack's block this time, they faintly had some expectations for the next game.

Although, the boos at the scene were deafening, and Kobe, who was blocked, also began to put pressure on the referee, and he began to ask the referee for a whistle.

However, the referee's eyes are discerning, and the whistle in the referee's mouth did not sound.

Jack did not foul, but the basketball that was slapped by Jack was taken by Parker.

Parker, who got the basketball, threw the basketball directly after getting the ball, before the basketball could be shot.

"Beep..." The referee's whistle sounded.

The Lakers' 24-second offense violation.

Hornets possession of the ball!

Hornets offense!

Jack started asking Paul for the ball when Paul dribbled the ball over.

Jack is about to start attacking himself.

Facing Odom who was defending him, Jack didn't make any fake moves at all. He just stepped forward, turned sideways, and stretched his shoulders. Jack flew out like an arrow from the string.

Jack was like a sharp knife, heading straight for the Lakers' penalty area.
