Chapter 420 Fighting Alone

Chapter 2 One Ten Fighting Alone

Like a hungry wolf in the middle of its prey, Jack unleashed all his horsepower and flew towards his target...

Bending his knees, his body appeared to be in a dive. Seeing that he had reached the range of his attack, Jack flew up from the ground and glided towards the basket...

At this moment, time seems to have stopped at this moment.I saw that Jack, who was in the air, completely stretched out his body, smashing the ball with one hand with his right hand, placed it on the back of his head, and raised his arm high, like a battle ax holding the sky...

Jack's tense body, at this moment, is like a bow and arrow being stretched, full of explosive power all over his body.

Seeing such an impactful Jack, the camera reporters on the sidelines couldn't help short of breath.

Even though they were on the sidelines, they could feel the explosive power all over Jack's body.

All of them had solemn faces, their Adam's apples were constantly moving, and their saliva was constantly swallowing...

Jack, who was gliding in the air, had a tyrannical and extremely distorted face, as if the basket that was close at hand had a deep hatred for him.

Kwame Brown at the basket was extremely upset when he saw such an arrogant Jack.He decided to teach Jack a good lesson no matter what the price was for this ball.To let him know how stupid it is to ignore his own.

However, this idea of ​​his has just sprouted.Jack seemed to be able to teleport in an instant, Jack came to him in an instant, and jumped high...

"It's so fast!" This was the first thought in Kwame Brown's heart.At the same time, a sense of fear also began to spread from the bottom of my heart.Kwame Brown's face became extremely ugly, and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

Jack rushed up, ignoring everything in front of him, only baskets in Jack's eye sockets.Jack couldn't see anything but the rim.

Jack regards Kwame Brown as a mountain standing in front of him,
"Ah..." Jack, who threw himself into the air like a dynamite bag, roared, and Jack jumped over Kwame Brown's head...

With a loud "boom", Jack poured all the strength of his body into his right arm, and Jack vented all his suffocation on the basket, and with a loud "boom", all the people on the scene The noise is covered up...

At this time, the Staples Center was as quiet as a forest. Being in the stadium, one could vaguely hear the coughing of the Lakers fans on the scene.

"One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds..." After being quiet for about 5 seconds, the fans at the Staples Center were already bursting with adrenaline stimulated by Jack. .

The audience sitting in the front row couldn't bear it any longer. They jumped up from their seats, raised their hands high, and shouted loudly.They want to use this to forget to vent their passion...

They seemed to have forgotten that they were cheering their enemies, but none of that mattered anymore.This is the charm of basketball, and this is the charm of superstars.

There was a loud bang that could almost blow over the roof of the Staples Center, and the applause like waves hitting the shore invaded the basketball court, and immediately swallowed the entire basketball arena.

Charles Barkley, who was above the commentary booth, was already so excited that he couldn't control himself. He raised his arms high, and the high-decibel voice in his throat was transmitted through the loudspeaker, covering all the voices on the field. past.

After Jack successfully dunked, his eyes were still cold, and Jack's eyes shot out raging flames...

The Hornets' morale was greatly boosted by Jack's dunk, and the Hornets' defensive strength was not just a star and a half higher than it was just now.

Lakers ball possession!

Kobe attacked with the ball. Kobe first shook Butler in front of him and made a mid-range emergency stop shot.

In this wave of offense, Kobe may have seen Jack do his best in his own territory.Therefore, Kobe wants to fight back with a goal.Kobe was in a hurry in this wave of offense. With a "bang", Kobe's shot hit the basket heavily, and the basketball was bounced heavily.

Jack was competing with Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown for rebounds, but Jack didn't seize the most favorable basketball spot.

However, Jack took advantage of his powerful jump, and Jack flew off the ground to grab the rebound over the heads of Odom and Kwame Brown.

Hornets possession of the ball!

Double-teaming is a common defensive method on the basketball court.It is characterized by a clear division of defense, which can effectively restrain the opponent's possession of the ball, limit the dribbling space and prevent the opponent from throwing the ball.However, double-teaming cannot limit new insiders like Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, and Jack.

Not only do they have strong individual singles ability, but also their ability to pass and support is also a must in the league.As long as you dare to double-team the inside line, the basketball in their hands will be assigned to the outside line immediately.The shooters on the outside will kill them.

However, it is a panacea for players who play with their bodies.As someone who has experienced it, Jack knows this very well. The Magic's core "Warcraft" Dwight Howard often falls for this trick.

Especially in the first round of the 2010 playoffs, under the leadership of the old Brown, the rookie Charlotte Bobcats entered the playoffs for the first time.

Although, was swept by the Magic, but relying on machine-like defense and non-stop double-teaming, Howard, the core of the Magic, was restricted so that he didn't even want to get the ball.

Today the Hornets except for Jack, the other players of the Hornets are in a collective downturn, and the Lakers have become unscrupulous in double-teaming Jack in the interior.

Odom, who was mainly defending Jack, used the referee's blind spot to harass Jack non-stop. Bill Walton was watching from the other side, ready to intercept the basketball from Jack's hand immediately.

Kwame Brown, who was dunked by Jack just now, is also full of resentment towards Jack in his heart. Jack does not rule out that Kwame Brown will rush over to give Jack a big hot pot at any time.

In fact, this kind of double-teaming tactic of the Lakers is still very easy to crack.Jack just needs to distribute the basketball in his hand before the double-team is formed.

However, the problem now is that the Hornets are in a collective downturn, and Jack tried several passes without success.Jack's patience was almost worn out.

The double-team defense of the three made Jack, who was in the inside line, fall into a very passive situation. The opponent's two inside lines defended against him, one was top defense and the other was side defense. Jack is surrounded by a group of bloodthirsty wolves, he is surrounded by enemies and is in danger at any time.

At this moment, it became very difficult for Jack to even pass the ball. It was the first time that he was restricted by this level of double-teaming.

"Shit!!!" Jack cursed inwardly. Fighting alone was really hard. Jack felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart against the iron-walled defense that Phil Jackson had set up for him.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, had a smile on his face at this moment. That smile had a deep meaning, and only he knew the meaning contained in it.

"Difficult, too difficult. All this is too difficult for Jack. God-like opponents, pig-like teammates, and even Paul, the most reliable in normal times, has not been able to stand up and share the responsibility for Jack." Charles Barker Lee said.

"Now is the time to test a player's true strength." Kenny Smith said with a serious face.

Charles Barkley didn't speak because he knew what Kenny Smith said.

"A real strong man will not back down when faced with a challenge, and he will continue to fight unless he dies. Although I don't agree with players playing too independently, I don't like the fact that someone needs to stand up at the end of the game When pitching, everyone else is invisible," Kenny Smith continued.

"Jack, throw that damn basketball." Charles Barkley stared at the field with piercing eyes, and he shouted in his heart.

Jack started double-teaming from the opponent, and he was looking for the opponent's loopholes, but the opponent's spare no effort to run on the periphery can easily make up for the vacancy that was torn apart from the outside.Even if there is an opening, Jack doesn't want to pass the ball anymore.

Jack leaned over and scanned the audience. He purposely gave Paul an extra look. This was what Jack did on purpose...

Jack held the ball in both hands and pretended to throw it at Ridnour, which attracted the attention of Bill Wharton and Odom.

Because, if the basketball in Jack's hand is passed out, the Lakers' defense will be greatly reduced. They dare to double-team Jack so recklessly.

That's because of the Hornets' collective downturn today. If the Hornets' shooters are allowed to continue to shoot, it is difficult to guarantee that their touch will not recover.

"Good opportunity!" Seeing that Bill Walton and Odom's center of gravity shifted, Jack knew that his opportunity had come, and Jack yelled in his heart.

At this time, Jack cut directly from Kwame Brown's left side to the inside, and at this time Bill Walton's reaction was delayed.

Jack had accumulated enough strength for the ball, but Odom's resistance had no effect at all. Jack ruthlessly crushed Odom's side like a tank on the battlefield.

At this time, there are only 24 seconds left in the 4-second attack time. They just got rid of the double-teaming of Bill Wharton and Odom, and they are about to step into the three-second zone.

After Jack broke through the first encirclement of the Lakers, the corner of Jack's mouth curled up into a wicked smile.

"It's late!" Jack cried inwardly.

Jack threw the basketball in his hand at the backboard.

"What's this for? Was it an early shot? Or was it a nervous shot and missed it." Everyone was puzzled. The ball was obviously crooked, not like a shot. Jack's behavior was unbelievable.

Next, Jack explained everything with his actions, facing the opponent's defensive player.

Jack's body moved horizontally between the two people in front of him, and a forced breakthrough squeezed a passage through the gap between the two people who were about to encircle. Neither Bill Wharton nor Kwame Brown could stop Jack from rushing. The footsteps entering the penalty area collided with each other because of the opponent's appearance.

Facing the unguarded basket, Jack soared into the air, and the basketball he just shot bounced off the backboard.

"Go! Go where you should go!" Jack flew into the air like an ancient God of War. Jack's collapsed body was full of strength like a bow, and he smashed the basketball into it with both hands.

boom!
After the orange-red basketball was smashed into the rim, Jack didn't hang on the rim like before. After landing, Jack roared up to the sky like a roaring lion under the rim.

This roar has the meaning of a lonely hero...

Although Jack broke the Lakers' iron barrel formation, basketball is a five-person sport after all.

In the second half of the third quarter, Jack took all the points of the Hornets. Jack scored 16 points in the entire third quarter.

However, Jack's battle alone still couldn't resist the ferocious firepower of the Lakers.

In the third quarter, even though Jack tried his best, the Hornets still trailed by 21 points in the third quarter.

After playing most of the fourth quarter, the Hornets still did not improve.

Byron Scott stood up from the coach's bench and shook his head helplessly.

A timeout was called, all the substitutes were replaced, and all the main players went down.

"Beep..." The whistle of the whole game sounded.

In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 111 to 93, and the Hornets lost the game with a huge difference of 18 points.
