NBA starts from the strongest 3D

Chapter 51, Comprehensive Suppression!
"One person holds the ball, and everyone watches the show. Now Zhou Hang is getting better and better."

"Yeah, Zhou Hang's autonomous attack ability has really improved too fast."

"Honestly speaking, Zhou Hang actually has two moves with the ball. He either takes a step back, or rushes in and stops mid-range."

Careful netizens discovered Zhou Hang's routine of attacking with the ball.

Zhou Hang's ball handling has improved rapidly and looks pleasing to the eye, but the reason why he is still not top-notch is that he has not changed enough, and he only needs one or two tricks to use.

It's not that Zhou Hang doesn't want to play fancy games like Curry and Irving, but that he still can't play.

If he rushes in and the opponent gives him a few confrontations, it will be difficult for Zhou Hang to protect the ball in high confrontation.

After this timeout, the Lakers' starters gradually came back.

Zhou Hang's role has declined, and Zhou Hang has become a running style without the ball.

If you partner with Kobe, you must play off the ball, otherwise the ball is really not enough.

In the rest of the second quarter, the Lakers kept suppressing the Sonics.

After the first half, the score was 40-62.

The Lakers have led by 22 points at home.

Zhou Hang scored 22 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds in the first half.

Zhou Hang's data is the most beautiful in the Lakers, and his excellence also suppressed Durant of the Supersonics.

Although Durant also scored 12 points and 6 rebounds, his efficiency still lags behind that of Zhou Hang.

On the sidelines, ESPN reporters stopped Zhou Hang and conducted a temporary interview with Zhou Hang.

The reporter asked: "After the matchup in the first half, what kind of player do you think KD is?"

Zhou Hang said: "It's not bad, he is very strong among rookies."

The reporter asked: "Who do you think will win in the competition for the best rookie between you and him?"

Zhou Hangdao: "I don't know, the performance on the court will tell everything."

"Tell me about that ball you knocked him down," the reporter asked.

Zhou Hang said: "There is nothing to say about this, we both put in the game."

Zhou Hang's interview continued his usual style, Zhou Hang rarely mocked his opponents directly.

Even if he shakes Durant down, he doesn't take it seriously.

As for the best rookie, Zhou Hang has the confidence to win it from Durant.

Zhou Hang has confidence in his own strength.

The record of the Lakers is soaring, and his statistics are also soaring. As long as the stability is maintained in the future, this award will naturally be given to him.

After returning to the locker room.

Kobe came over and sat down to chat with Zhou Hang.

Kobe said: "Zhou, your few singles in the first half were very beautiful. As long as you continue to perform like this, it will be easy for us to enter the playoffs."

Since the Sharks left, Kobe has been thinking about proving that he has the ability to lead the team to win the championship.

This year, the arrival of Gasol and the rise of Zhou Hang gave Kobe hope.

Zhou Hang said: "Well, I will try my best to keep it going."

Kobe said: "I didn't pass you a few balls in the first half, and I thought so at the time"

Zhou Hang felt Kobe's seriousness and persistence. Even after the first half ended, he still raced against time to discuss the game with Zhou Hang.

During this period of time, Zhou Hang and Kobe have also been getting acquainted with each other.

On the court, Kobe is the leader, very serious and serious, and he can't joke about basketball and victory.

He is a person who is full of pursuit of victory in his bones.

Off the court, Kobe, who has experienced so many turmoil, has changed. He has become a mature, stable and humorous person.

Kobe likes to preach, when he gets along with Zhou Hang.

He would be happy to tell Zhou Hang various skills, tactics, and even life philosophy.

What Zhou Hang did was to listen.

And Kobe has become more and more appreciative of Zhou Hang.

Kobe felt that Zhou Hang's obsession with victory and his requirements for personal technical improvement were very similar to his.

When those players were going to parties and nightclubs, Zhou Hang would stay in the arena for extra training, and sometimes he would even call at night to ask some technical questions.

Kobe remembers the same way when he first came into the league.

So it is not surprising that Kobe has improved Zhou Hang's offensive ability with the ball so much.

He felt that Zhou Hang was talented and worked hard enough, and his performance on the court was the best reward for him.

In the second half, the Sonics started the game.

The Lakers are the strongest lineup, Fisher, Kobe, Zhou Hang, skier, Odom.

Zen master is going to take the game away in the third quarter, and he will not play in the fourth quarter unless the main players can make it.

The Sonics' offensive ball possession.

Watson takes the ball across half court.

Watson is 185 tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He averaged 10 points and 6.8 assists per game this season, and has a high golf quotient.

But facing the Lakers, he couldn't play much.

Although the Lakers do not have twin towers, their strength is still a bit higher than that of the Supersonics.

Fisher would be afraid of that kind of talented defender, but he is not so afraid of this kind of talent.

Watson gives the ball to Durant on the right.

After adjusting in the locker room, Durant regained some confidence.

Durant tried his best not to think about competing with Zhou Hang.

Durant tries to hit Kobe off the dribble.

But just as Durant was about to dribble the ball, Zhou Hang on one side quickly came to attack.

Kobe and Zhou Hang are both masters in steals, and they both worked hard at the same time.

Durant was flustered for a while, he never thought that Zhou Hang didn't talk about martial arts.
"Snapped!"

In the pinch between Zhou Hang and Kobe, Zhou Hang cut off Durant's ball with his hand.

After Zhou Hang controlled the ball, he did not counterattack immediately, but gave the ball to Fisher.

"Poor Durant."

"Durant likes to dribble, but Zhou Hang likes to steal the ball from him."

"Durant was completely suppressed!"

Zhou Hang's oppressive performance against Durant made domestic fans feel excited.

Durant was a little arrogant before the game, but on the court, Zhou Hang was able to control this arrogance.

Although Zhou Hang often used the Lakers' strong strength to make Durant look so downcast, fans just like this kind of plot.

"KD, calm down, don't dribble blindly." Carlesimo shouted at Durant.

The head coach of the Sonics thinks that it is extremely unwise for Durant to face Zhou Hang and dribble with Kobe.

Durant has a high center of gravity when dribbling, so isn't this a way to find a break?

Durant ignored the coach and pretended not to hear.

The Lakers completely controlled the rhythm of the court.

After Fisher came to the front court, he signaled the Lakers players to create singles opportunities for Zhou Hang.

The Lakers players have strong tactical execution. Odom on the right screened Zhou Hang off the ball. After taking away the defender, Zhou Hang and Collison formed a misalignment.

Zhou Hang took the ball and changed direction, hitting Collison's right side.

Collison moved laterally to the right, and Zhou Hang dribbled the ball with his back to the left and continued to burst.

Now Collison was passed by Zhou Hang.

Zhou Hang was on the left side of the free throw line and the three-second zone, and made an emergency stop for a short-range jumper.

Zhou Hang's shot point is very high, and his jumping rhythm is also very good. Jeff Green, who is assisting in defense, has no choice.

"Shh!"

It's still a breakthrough jumper, but it just can't be prevented!
40:64.

Compared with three-pointers or inside layups, Zhou Hang feels that this kind of short-range jumper is also very efficient, but it has always been ignored.

Booker and Paul are very good at this scoring method, which is more stable than a three-pointer.

Seeing that there are many people inside, it is easy to be disturbed, but in fact, as long as the rhythm is staggered, it is not a big problem.

Zhou Hang's shooting touch can ensure that he is also stable at this distance.

Barkley said: "Zhou Hang has become more and more confident in his offensive ability with the ball. His defensive observation of the Supersonics is also very good. When the opponent defends his three-pointer, he will rush in and ask for two points."

Smith said: "The same sentence, strong shooting ability and good ball-handling skills give Zhou Hang more offensive options."
