NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 677 Crotty, teach him a lesson!

The game on the court is still going on, but there are people in the Lakers who are gearing up and eager to try. Rodman is the most enthusiastic one, and even let him regain the feeling of those years in the Pistons. Crotty didn't say a word, Just staring at Sprewell.

The NBA has always had no shortage of flamboyant and alternative players, and Sprewell is a typical example.

但不能否认的是这家伙打的确实是不错，和李胜利一届、92年24顺位进入联盟，最巅峰的一个赛季是在勇士的96-97赛季场均24.2分4.6篮板6.3助攻1.7抢断，进过最佳一阵、防守二阵。

Leaving aside his personality, Sprewell, who is both offensive and defensive, is enough to rank among the league's first-tier ranks, and he is stronger than Kobe at the same stage. Although the two have maintained similar efficiency, Crotty can still tell... Kobe I suffered a bit, because Sprewell had too much trash talk and tricks.

……

"Crotty, in a moment... will you go, or should I go?" Rodman raised his eyebrows anxiously.

"Just wait!" Crotty said in a deep voice, "If Sprewell's efficiency doesn't drop, Coach Harris should replace me, and I'll deal with him."

"Yes, you are not worse than him at all. It should be said that you fight harder than him." Rodman rubbed his head.

Sprewell's "throat lock" is indeed notorious, but the Warriors were training at the time, and no one saved the video, but Crotty is different. It was a live broadcast of the game, which shocked the whole world. The league's 'headshots' made Larry Johnson almost autistic.

"No, fighting is not the goal. It just means that I am not afraid of anyone's provocation, and it also means that I can do my best to ensure that everyone's will to play well is not interfered by any factors." Crotty glanced at Rodman, Pointing to Sprewell on the court, he said, "This man...can't go on anymore, Kobe will be influenced by him."

……

On the field at this time...

Before 6 minutes of the first quarter, Kobe and Sprewell maintained almost the same efficiency, but after 6 minutes, there was indeed a watershed. Sprewell did not improve efficiency, but Kobe appeared in the case of being alone to prevent harassment. Efficiency dropped.

People are good, others bully, horses are good, people ride.

Sprewell felt that Kobe's resistance was not strong, so he happily increased the harassment, using both hands and feet, and Kobe's face became more and more livid.

He scored 6 points in the first half, but with the last 1 minute left in the second half, his total score increased to 2 points by relying on 1 of 7 free throws.

Although 7 points in a single quarter may seem like a lot, the problem is that the Lakers' offense started from the outside line. Kobe only scored 1 point in the second half of the quarter when Kobe's shots accounted for a high proportion. Excellent, and the most intuitive result is that the Knicks completed a small advantage of leading by 3 points during this period.

……

At the interval between defense and offense, Barkley chased Li Shengli without worrying about the current disadvantage. After all, he and Li Shengli were not the main offense in the first quarter.

"Li, do you want your Crotty to come up to help? I think Kobe can't stand it anymore."

"No hurry, we'll talk about it after this quarter." Li Shengli went down to the low post, and Ewing rushed up immediately, and at this moment...the team led by Kobe was still playing on the outside line. When it came to Kobe's hands, he hit Sprewell on the top of the arc.

Compared with before, Kobe's skills are definitely more comprehensive.

After pushing Sprewell with his back, he wanted to turn his back and rush to the basket, but Sprewell retreated in time, saw the direction of Kobe's advance, and also confirmed that Kobe was about to stop the shot, and immediately shot again. After sticking to it, he pushed Kobe's waist with his right crotch while Kobe was jumping.

This top...the fadeaway jumper was directly turned into a forward jumper.

The height of the shot was not high, and the point of the shot was still forward. It was almost a cap, but Sprewell was not polite at all. He knocked the ball out of Kobe's hand with a snap, and Kobe also lay on the floor.

Although it was finally saved by the Knicks and Fox made the shot, the rebound that missed the shot was taken by Ewing who was in the penalty area, but the Lakers returned to defense in time and did not allow the Knicks to play a fast-break rhythm.

The only one with a livid face was Kobe, and Sprewell still made a throat-slitting gesture.

……

At this time, it is basically the last round of offense in the first quarter.

The Knicks played three guards, and Sprewell was the Knicks' main firepower. Of course, it was Sprewell who played, and this time...the offense and defense were switched, with Kobe defending and Sprewell attack.

In fact, before the ball was in place, the offense and defense had already begun. When Sprewell got rid of Kobe's defense without the ball, he made a sudden stop and ran back, and then pushed Kobe's leg with his knee, and Kobe's speed faltered. , Sprewell rushed into the inside immediately after receiving the ball, made an emergency stop and made a shot.

To be honest, when getting rid of the defense without the ball, he uses his knees to hit people and has a high degree of concealment. Stockton is one of the best, but this does not mean that others will not.

Apparently Sprewell is using it too, just not the same as Stockton.

Stockton never taunted people, but after Sprewell scored, he whispered a curse at Bryant, and this situation lasted for a whole quarter.

Although no one could hear it clearly, it was obvious from the expression and mouth shape that it was not a good word. It made Kobe mad. After this round...there is not enough time to attack again. The Knicks first The quarter leads the Lakers by 5 points.

Knicks lead by 5 points?

This result made the fans of Madison Gardens very happy. After all, their opponent in this game can be the Lakers in its prime, and the audience shouted the name of Sprewell who performed the best in the first quarter. It's because the anger doesn't hit one place.

……

"Are you okay?" Li Shengli patted Kobe on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I just feel sick." Kobe frowned and said, "I've said it a long time ago, this guy must have a problem, regardless of offense and defense, he hits me with dirty tricks every time, unless it's a misplaced play or a cover. It's hard to hit, these bad moves are too hidden."

"This is still called concealment? Then you haven't been molested by Stockton!" Li Shengli and Kobe sat back on the bench together, first motioned to Harris, then glanced at Crotty and said in a low voice : "Crotty, you will teach this man a lesson."

"okay, I get it."

Li Shengli, Kobe and Crotty glanced at each other, and the generals had cooperated for so long, Harris understood Li Shengli's thoughts very well, and at the same time, this was also his idea, which coincided with each other.

5 points behind in the first quarter?

Although the combination of Li Shengli and Barkley temporarily suppressed the Knicks in terms of frontcourt rebound data, the Knicks' three guards' offensive and defensive conversion speed is indeed a little faster, making up for some rebounding disadvantages.

After the two phases were cancelled, there was a small problem in the external connection when losing points. Kobe was severely limited at this point, and it was a bit too much for Sprewell's dirty tricks.

Of course, Harris is not in a hurry.

The current lineup of the Lakers can send people to block Sprewell on the original basis, and the best candidate is Crotty without even thinking about it. More importantly...Harris plans to trade Crotty for Fox .

The Knicks are three guards!

The Lakers can also play three guards.

This is really not a mere imitation, but a small advantage of compressing the Knicks' three guards and speeding up offensive and defensive transitions to the greatest extent. From another point of view, Crotty can also switch defenses with Kobe, further compressing the outside advantage of the Knicks in positional battles .
