You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 238 If you want to deceive others, first deceive yourself (1318)

The Raptors worked tirelessly, and Odom's defense seemed to fall asleep, unable to stand the test of the opponent. In a blink of an eye, Matt Bonner got a wide and boundless space.

"Shh!"

70 is better than 54
The Raptors attack smoothly and have a great inside advantage. Moreover, Odom's current state is terrible.His teammates can't count on his offensive performance and defensive achievements, and Jackson has no plans to make substitutions.Because there is no one to replace.

Kobe didn't care much about being unstoppable on the defensive end. He only cared about how to go from 16 points behind to 16 points ahead.

Wei Xia's ball quickly passed to Kobe's hands.

Kobe's back was facing Jaylen Rose, who was ready for battle. The opponent's offense was like a haze floating above his head. The eyes of the audience fell here, expecting the wonderful moment to happen.

Kobe's steps to deal with Rose were simple and enjoyable. His inside turn quickly passed his opponent and was about to hit the inside when Chris Bosh's help defense became the biggest obstacle.In the face of obstacles, either dodge or step hard.The elegant attacker does not advocate violent demolition, because it jumps up on the spot, and the body that rises into the air sharply solves the most difficult pass in Toronto.

56 is better than 70
"Is that okay?" Wei Xia looked at Kobe and shook his head.

Everyone knows Kobe's strength. Tonight's state is upward. Although Smush Parker almost destroyed him, but fortunately, Wei Xia played to support his sinking state.

His own adjustments are also very neat, so in general, there is no need to worry too much. It is better to think more about the Raptors. What do they need to do to stop Kobe who has turned red in his touch and physical condition?

Wei Xia made his mission clear, defending, pushing and counterattacking, and passing the ball to Kobe.

As for personal offense?That depends on fate.

The Raptors were not intimidated by Kobe Bryant's bravery to take the head of the general. The defensive end did nothing, but the offensive end was promising. The pick-and-roll was sharp, and the off-ball screen snuggled up. It was like the Eastern version of the San Antonio Spurs.

It's a pity that Bosh is not Duncan, and he can't forcefully use his personal ability to break the game. Although the Lakers' inside line has been crushed, their outside defense can ensure that their weak penalty area will not wither.

Peterson received the ball outside the three-point line from the bottom corner, and he tentatively made a shot fake. It seemed that Odom was going to be fooled, and here he came, went one step further, jumped up, and sure enough—he was fooled without any suspense.

Peterson flew over Odom and rushed to the basket. He wanted to attack. He had better dunk. That would boost his energy and silence the noise at the Staples Center. Noisy away games are the most unpleasant. If any away player has the opportunity to be an away silencer, they will never refuse.

Peterson is just one step away from success.

Wei Xia ran back from the outside. His speed was very fast, his desire to help defend was sufficient, and his desire to protect the basket was like a fiery flame from the outside to the inside.

"What a big hat!"

cried old Thompson.

The next second Wei Xia intercepted Peterson, he put away the rebound and threw a long pass to Kobe.

The Raptors' retreat was fast enough, and the decisive Kobe did not intend to leave any gaps and leeway. Rose rushed back to witness a performance that no one could stop.

Kobe faced his body and smashed the buckle with one hand.

58 is better than 70
As a result, the point difference was reduced to 12 points. The Raptors don't need to be nervous. The double-digit advantage is enough to rest easy. As long as the offensive quality is guaranteed and the inside advantage is fully utilized, the Lakers will be overwhelmed by them at any time.

As long as Kobe's touch cools down, his dog legs are out of control.

Believe it or not, the Raptors believe this anyway, absolutely.

Since when did Wescia have a hunch that he would be in the best position in the world to witness the greatest offensive performance since the post-merger era?

Presumably this round begins.

He and Bryant teamed up to defend, Rose's face was ugly, Mike James shut up, because the Raptors' outside line was suppressed, they couldn't even give the ball to the inside.

Ultimately it was Peterson who took advantage of Odom's defense not keeping up with catch-and-shoot jumpers.

His touch is off the line.

Wei Xia flew to grab his eighth rebound, and threw it back to Kobe who was on the fast break.

Kobe Bryant dribbles from the left side to the three-point line in the frontcourt, and it's still Rose.

He and Rose have a score to settle, and today they will settle it in front of grandma.

Kobe Bryant made two cross steps forward and changed direction. Rose was experienced and defended very well, and his center of gravity remained unchanged after being swayed around.

He did "difficult" to Kobe.

Since you can't shake it, then don't shake it. It is also very good to learn from McGrady to make a dry pull. It is reasonable for a person with a touch no matter how outrageous the ball is.

"Shh!"

Kobe Bryant's cold-blooded three-pointer reduced the gap between the two teams to only 9 points.

61 is better than 70
James is coming to Bosh's pick-and-roll.

Bosh dismantled after blocking, and the high position on the right, Chris Mim looked left and right in a panic, not knowing where to defend.

James' defense gives him options.

He passes the ball to Bosh.

Mim looked at Bosh.

The two Chriss confirmed their eyes, and Mihm decided to let Bosh shoot, so that at least he could pray that he couldn't make a shot and grab a rebound.Bosh decided to ignore the opening Mihm gave him, and dribbled to the paint, creating as much contact as possible, so he could draw the ball while drawing a foul.

They have weird ideas, but they have no tricks at all.

Bosh, who wanted to have physical contact with Mim, was surprised to find that she didn't even want to touch him.

Bosh left open and did not shoot, and the practice of rushing to the basket has exceeded Mihm's cognition. As "the most overlooked Laker", he stood with his hands open like a sculpture.

Bosh easily scored 2 points.

72 is better than 61
"Good defense, Chris!" Bryant yelled.

Mim picked up the ball on the ground in a daze, and when serving Wei Xia, he said to himself tremblingly: "Did you defend well?"

Wei Xia savored those words carefully, "Prevented well?"

where?
Mihm serves, and Wei Xia's intentions can be imagined by the Raptors with their eyes closed.

Isn't it a pass to Kobe?It's like who doesn't know.

Why didn't they just serve the ball to Kobe?How fun it is to let him play alone while the other four sit down to fight the Landlords.

Wei Xia's passing choices are predictable, but Kobe's offensive choices are unpredictable.

Rose actually thought that with his defense, Kobe would not continue to pull up. After all, his defense still has weight. Besides, he has a history of intentionally slapping him. Even if he is not afraid of his defense, isn't he afraid of his black feet?
Kobe had already forgotten that Rose gave him black feet, he even forgot what Rose looked like, he was extremely focused, everyone's movements were in slow motion in his eyes, he might not even know that he had entered the coveted "Zone".

Rose looked very difficult to deal with the defense, and was once again penetrated by him with an unreasonable and domineering attack.

64 is better than 72
"It's amazing!" Odom didn't feel how bad his state was at all.

Bryant was out of shape, and he was excited.

It's not just emotion that's suddenly on the line, but IQ and willingness to defend.

I am used to Odom being freed by simple running positions and casually covering opponents who pass by without the ball. I am not used to him suddenly having such enthusiasm.

Bonner, who was withdrawing from the screen, was about to shoot a three-pointer at the top of the arc. Odom's flying block seriously affected his touch.

The eye-catching three-pointer was like fireworks in full bloom, and with a bang, the defensive rebound fell into Kobe's hands.

Kobe Bryant, who played four consecutive offenses, gave Odom a long pass, but his pass was fruitless.

Odom may be returning to normal, but his offensive feel is still terrible, with Peterson chasing back at full speed to interfere with his offense.

His flying layup was blocked.

However, there is no need to worry about this. Wei Xia followed behind them. He picked up the ball that Odom missed and took two steps. Peterson in front of him was worthy of being a defensive expert.

Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand, so he didn't play any layups to show off his touch. Across Peterson's body was a one-handed tomahawk dunk of "Get out of the way".

66 is better than 72
The point difference was chased to 6 points, the momentum of the Raptors was about to be knocked down, and he was forced to call a timeout.

Wei Xia let go and landed. Odom happily touched Wei Xia's head and said, "Do you know? I missed it on purpose!"

"Really?" Wei Xia asked in surprise.

He caught up with the idea that Odom would never make a fast break.

If it was Kobe who was playing the fast break, he would just watch, but Odom's state tonight has overdrawn Wei Xia's trust in him.

Now he said it was on purpose?

"Yeah, I know you're behind me, my acting is good, right?" Odom asked with a grin.

"Well, it's really good." Wei Xia nodded in praise.

A person who even deceived himself is not only good at acting, is he?
