Defending champion

Chapter 74

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of piercing the net sounded, and Kobe made a difficult two-pointer at the buzzer at the last moment of the second quarter.

Even though he hit this difficult buzzer-beater, Kobe's expression was still very ugly.

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe tried his best, breaking through, shooting, three-pointers and other martial arts from the 53th class.However, the Lakers still scored 41 to 12, and the Lakers were still [-] points behind.

In the second quarter, Kobe was fighting alone, and no one from the Lakers could stand up and share some responsibility for Kobe.If it weren't for Kobe's relentless pursuit of the score, the Lakers would have given up their arms and surrendered at the end of the second quarter.

At the end of the half-time game, Kobe's sweat dripped down to the ground. The battle was really hard.

After O'Neal left Miami, only Kobe was left with the Lakers to fight.Fighting alone is really hard work.No matter how hard Kobe tries, how much sweat he puts in, and how many points he scores, the Lakers will inevitably lose in the end.

In fact, it is not that Kobe has not complained to the management.However, what I got was an official answer: "We are already looking, but we haven't found a suitable Laker yet." No matter how many times I say it, Kobe will always be surrounded by those tricks.

……

Halftime is over.

At the beginning of the second half, Kobe's touch was still hot.However, the Lakers' bench still hasn't been able to harden up.The Lakers will always have such a situation, Kobe's performance is good, and other people will have Kobe's dependence.No matter what time it is, pass the ball into Kobe's hands and let Kobe solve the battle by himself.This trick is definitely tried and tested.

The more the Lakers are like this, the more thorough the Hornets' tactics of double-teaming Kobe will be implemented.Every time Kobe makes a shot, he must face the Hornets' impregnable defense.But Kobe still has no hesitation.

Seeing Kobe's aloof figure, Jack was deeply touched.Although Jack doesn't really like Kobe, he admires and respects him.Such a lonely man deserves Jack's admiration.

Facing a man like this, Jack felt that he should have a hearty fight with him.Kobe, a strong man in life, never needs sympathy, and sympathy is a kind of defilement to him.

Bryant faced a double-team of three Hornets basketball players on the baseline.Because of too many singles, Kobe exhausted his physical strength very quickly, and his footsteps were not as flexible as when he first started.

This time Kobe did not choose singles and passed the ball.Odom received a pass from Kobe, because none of the 8 shots in the first half made a hit. The ball was like a hot potato in Odom's hands at this time. The ball stopped in his hand for less than two seconds, and the ball arrived. In the hands of Wharton, Wharton saw that the opportunity was not good, so in the end he had to pass the ball again, and it came into Kobe's hands.at this time,
Kobe stood a meter away from the three-point line.

Kobe looked up, and it showed that there were still 2 seconds left on the card, after the ball was in his hand.Kobe didn't stay for too long, and no matter what position he was in, he directly pulled up and threw the ball in his hand.

Jr Smith was already scared of Kobe's beating. Seeing that Kobe wanted to shoot, he quickly swooped over to interfere with Kobe's shooting.

Kobe stopped suddenly without hesitation, jumped up, and then when his body reached the highest point, his wrist shook slightly, and the basketball rolled out, and the basketball drew a very beautiful rainbow in the air. After entering the net, the basketball caused a very beautiful wave on the rim.

After Kobe shot, he staggered to the end because his body was difficult to maintain his balance in the air.But his eyes are still extremely firm, his fists clenched me up, his face was ferocious, he gritted his teeth...

Even though the Ford Center is an enemy, the fans at the scene are still impressed by Kobe's lonely spirit.The fans gave Kobe a round of applause without hesitation.Kobe has the charm of such a personality, as long as fans who have watched his game will be impressed by his spirit on the field.

"This is Kobe, a man who will never admit defeat. From Kobe, I can see the shadow of Jordan. If there is a selection of Jordan's successor in today's league, I will undoubtedly choose Kobe." Charles the poisonous tongue · Barkley was also conquered by Kobe's performance.Giving Kobe such a high evaluation.

Next to Kenny Smith this time, he chose to remain silent.Because strictly speaking, he belongs to Kohei.If it wasn't for work, he never went back to watch Kobe's games.

…………

The Hornets immediately attacked again, and this time Paul implemented the Hornets' third combat plan.

The Hornets' third set of combat plans is very simple, that is, pass the ball to Paul, and Paul will lead the offense.

After Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, he kept yelling: "move, move..." while constantly changing gestures.

After the Hornets players were instructed, they continued to make interspersed moves.Paul sees room for a breakthrough and drives past Marsh Parker to the basket.Relying on his ability to stay in the air, he escaped the defense of Kwame Brown under the basket and put the ball into the basket.

However, the basketball is very disobedient. After rolling a few times in the basket, the basketball is still very disobedient and rolled out.

After seeing this ball, "Oh!" The fans at the scene couldn't help but sighed such a good opportunity.

However, a black shadow shot up from the ground like a rocket, filling in the basketball that had already come out of the basket.

The "dry land pulling onions" style tip-up has become a routine weapon for Jack to score.Relying on this trick, Jack can get 5 to 6 points through tipping in every game.

"Yeah..." A pot exploded in the auditorium of the stadium.

……

"The defense of the Lakers is really bad! All the balls like this are missed." The poisonous Charles Barkley couldn't help criticizing the Lakers immediately and mercilessly.

"On the offensive end, we can only rely on Kobe Bryant. On the defensive end, he frequently misses people. He can't grab rebounds. He doesn't have a second chance to attack. He can't play fast breaks. It seems that the Lakers have The game has already entered garbage time ahead of schedule." Kenny commented.

……

After all, Kobe is also a body of flesh and blood, and he will also appear tired.After passing the pincer attack of JR Smith and Butler, Kobe made an emergency stop and shot. This time, the arc of Kobe's shot was lower than before. It seems that Kobe was really tired this time.

"Boom" the basketball hit the front of the basket heavily.

This time Kwame Brown may have discovered his conscience, and he got stuck in advance before Kobe shot, occupying the basketball spot.

The most critical thing to grab a rebound is to seize the best landing point of the basketball.Kwame Brown got the rebound very easily.Kwame Brown, who took the rebound, is in a very favorable position, and Kwame Brown can shoot directly.However, Kwame Brown, a brainless person, doesn't know how he thinks.At this time, he was still thinking about passing the ball.

"Kwame, shoot!..." Kobe yelled at Kwame Brown when he saw Kwame Brown holding the ball under the basket and hesitating whether to pass or shoot.When is the ball not shot at this time?
Kwame Brown may be a masochist himself. After being scolded, he realized that he should shoot this ball.

After Kwame Brown received Kobe's order, he knelt down, saved his strength, and when he saw that it was about the same, he stood up, wanting to buckle up to vent the suffocation in his chest.

Jack, I've been waiting impatiently for a long time.

"Pa... bah..." The thrown basketball was pressed heavily against the backboard.This is Jack's No. 11 rebound in this game.

After getting the rebound, Jack immediately launched a fast break. After Jack got the rebound, he used the movement he used when he was playing baseball.With all his strength, he made a long pass that ran through the audience.

In fact, when he saw that Kobe couldn't make a shot, Butler was already running down desperately.I don't know why, but he always has an intuition in his heart that Jack will definitely win this rebound.

Butler caught the ball and made a good show of dunks and scored.
