Healing Basketball

Chapter 425 425. What About My Big Ball?
Liu Xiu happily ran with Kobe, and Randolph singled Odom in the low post, attracting Wang Zhizhi to attack.

Wang Zhizhi did a great job of flanking. While using his height to cover Randolph's shooting space, he also cut off the line of Randolph's pass to Kwame Brown.

Randolph didn't make a strong shot, and passed the ball to Raheem who was on the right side of the free throw line. Raheem caught the ball and passed it again...

Liu Xiu used Kwame Brown to cover Kobe on the left sideline of the three-second zone, quickly took two steps to open the distance, and made a mid-range jumper on the left side of the three-second zone!
Kobe shook his head and ran upfield.

The TV commentator analyzed that Kobe shook his head because he was dissatisfied with Atkins who was wearing the No. 6 jersey on the left side of the free throw line... No, it was Atkins who was wearing the No. 9 jersey with his hands on his hips and was reluctant to move his feet to defend.

But Atkins, Kobe is actually used to it.

The reason why Kobe shook his head with his hips on his hips was because Liu Xiu made progress under cover!

Thinking of the moment when Liu Xiu suddenly slowed down when he was struggling to run, but accelerated suddenly before taking cover, Kobe ran a group of alpacas in his mind.

During the All-Star Game, Liu Xiu didn't have such a good pace in the cover, and his progress was too fast!
This is not a simple emergency stop and quick start. For a big defensive player like Kobe, a simple emergency stop and quick start is enough for him to predict in advance and make corresponding defensive actions. The lower limit that anyone can do is extremely low and the upper limit can also be quite high skill.

Anyway, this round made Kobe want to beat Nash. He vowed that if he can make the playoffs this season, he will definitely play his life with the Suns!

The offense and defense switched, the Lakers attacked, Atkins advanced to the frontcourt, Kobe yelled for the ball, Atkins was startled, and quickly passed it.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu, who was defending against Atkins, remembered the scene of Yao Ming yelling MMP at Sura, scaring Sura to pass the ball quickly.

Atkins, who is obsessed with singles, has a 37% three-point shooting rate in his career. He averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game. There is no difference between giving open shots and sending points. Liu Xiu stood in front of Atkins and defended Kobe. The matter was handed over to Payton. Before the game, Payton said-"Kobe gave it to me!"

Although he felt that Payton might be hanged, Liu Xiu still chose to give his teammates trust. After all, he was the best defensive player ever.

It’s just that defending Atkins is quite boring. This guy’s offense also seems to have accidentally reversed his jersey number. He took the initiative to press up.

After attracting the other party's attention, he asked, "Are you so timid, are you so afraid of Kobe?"

Atkins: ?
"Are you so unconfident in yourself? Do you think Kobe's success rate in beating Payton is higher than your success rate in beating me?"

Atkins: ? ? ?
Atkins reacted and wanted to reply, Liu Xiu ran back to the inside.

Kobe beat Payton hard, rolled into the inside, faced Payton and Kwame Brown with a two-for-one pull-up layup...

Liu Xiu ran inside to see if there was a defensive rebound, and just in time picked up the ball that fell from the basket, and silently exited the baseline and sent it to Payton.

Seeing Payton's confident look of "I want to prevent Kobe from dying", Liu Xiu thought that the veteran must have some secret tricks, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Payton being violently beaten by Kobe.

Offensive and defensive transition, Payton advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu's running position and Randolph's low-post request for the ball emptied the upper line.

Peyton first?

It doesn't matter who comes!
The offense and defense transitioned, Kobe reached out to Atkins, and the ball came!
Come on the ball!
The ball for me, hurry up... Where's the ball?
"bang"

The familiar sound came to Kobe's ears, but the ball didn't reach his hands, so why did the iron strike come?

Looking back, sure enough!The action after Atkins shot has not been fully put away.

It was too late to roar, Kobe quickly chased and defended, and Liu Xiu made a fast break!

Liu Xiu quickly received a long pass from Raheem, facing Kobe's active and decisive defense, the chance was not good.

With a weight of 104 kg, he still maintains top speed!

Is it said that the talent is insufficient, the body is weak and the will is strong, and it all depends on hard work?

But his warden has teammates!
Liu Xiu went deep, came to the bottom line, stopped suddenly, turned around, and split the ball... Randolph caught the ball and leaned against Caron Butler and made a layup.

Kobe snorted again. Butler had a very good relationship with him, and he was also the teammate with the most stable offense. But the defense didn't mean he didn't work hard, and his physical fitness wasn't bad, but the defensive effect was about the same as Nash's.

This season, the Lakers' defense is not good at all, and Kobe just hummed a few words. Offense is their strong point.

With this lineup, everyone can throw a three-pointer!Butler and Wang Zhizhi shot more than [-]% of their three-pointers!

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Atkins calmed down a bit after he hit an iron. When he ran back to catch the serve just now, he was glared at by Kobe, a little scared.

But as soon as Atkins advanced beyond the three-point line, he heard the warden on the opposite side say in a very sincere tone: "Pass it to Kobe, you really can't."

Atkins can't stand it!

Ignoring Bryant's 'Ball Comes' pose, Atkins continues to play singles!
Liu Xiu focused on defensive shots, and Atkins had a bad chance to shoot from outside, so he chose to break through.

Atkins' direction-changing skills are very good. Liu Xiu was shaken out of the breakthrough space, but Atkins' speed was fast but the start was mediocre. Liu Xiu, who was shaken away and not discouraged, pressed forward with all his strength. Although Atkins made a breakthrough space, but under Liu Xiu's difficult sticky defense, he failed to at least get rid of it after getting a breakthrough space.

Atkins didn't really pass Liu Xiu until he got to the free throw line, and when he came to close range, he flew to the basket excitedly...

"Snapped"

Kwame Brown's volleyball cap!

Kwame Brown was surprised by this ball. Atkins' vision and desire to shoot are simply incomprehensible.

Liu Xiu, who was chasing behind Atkins, grabbed the ball and counterattacked!
Kobe just ran over, and began to run all the way to the backcourt.

Liu Xiu and Rahim rushed to the frontcourt, forming a fast-break 2v1 situation.

Kobe didn't give up, he blocked Raheem first, and when Liu Xiu grabbed the ball to attack the frame, Kobe tried his best to attack Liu Xiu, trying his best to cut off the passing and receiving lines between Liu Xiu and Raheem...

Liu Xiu avoided Kobe with a flexible European step, took off on the third step, and scored two points easily with a layup.

The start is 6 to 2!

Liu Xiu and Raheem retreated with high fives, and the relaxed smiles on their faces deeply stimulated Kobe.

When did Raheem meet him so easily?
Even when they met in the playoffs last season, Raheem was extremely nervous!
The sense of gap that Kobe often felt this season has come again!
Both Liu Xiu and Raheem ran out of the free throw line, and Atkins and Butler ran in. Kobe picked up the ball, ignored Atkins who reached out to catch the ball, and shouted after sending it to Butler: "Pasmi !"

Kobe advanced to the frontcourt by himself, and Payton continued to stick to the defense. Kobe broke through without stopping.

Payton was going to be passed again without any suspense, but he was like a dog's skin plaster, struggling to stick to Kobe. Liu Xiu and Raheem on both sides made the same choice at this time, and Atkins and Butler were two big and three The breakup was emptied, and Liu Xiu and Rahim chose to attack at the same time.

What's the difference between one hit three and an empty seat?
There are advantages to gaining weight and muscle. Under the defense of Liu Xiu and Payton, Kobe still completed the take-off, and the take-off height avoided Raheem's cap, and he successfully threw the ball...but it was iron!

Randolph protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Payton.

This time the Lakers retreated very aggressively. Wang Zhizhi, Butler, and Odom learned how to behave. They retreated when Kobe made a shot, and there were no rebounds to speak of if they stretched so wide.

Offensive and defensive transition, Payton advanced to the frontcourt, although singles Atkins is a good option, but he did not continue singles, the reason is very simple - physical strength.

Liu Xiu received the ball from the outside, facing Kobe's defense, Liu Xiu used Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll to shoot a three-pointer... As a top defensive player, Kobe could easily see the improvement of Liu Xiu's three-point rhythm after the pick-and-roll, and he was in a bad mood some.

Fortunately, Liu Xiu hit the iron, and Kobe felt a lot better when he saw the ball hit the basket.

However, the ball fell and was picked up by Atkins!
Atkins advanced quickly, and Kobe quickly followed, yelling to me non-stop.

The offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers' defensive foothold was not stable, Kobe leaned on Liu Xiu to cut into close range, and he could go up after catching the ball, but Atkins didn't pass. Facing Raheem who switched defenses, Atkins withdrew in singles Take a three-point shot...

Cast decisively, iron is simply!
Kobe wanted to make a second attack, but Liu Xiu held him back. The two took off at the same time, but Liu Xiu took off more fully than Kobe, protecting the defensive rebound dangerously.

Liu Xiu immediately played the ball, and Payton, who had retreated to the center circle, received the pass, and quickly got up to counterattack and sent the ball!

Randolph received the ball from the free throw line, rushed to the basket, and dunked with both hands!

Butler, who retreated to the basket, stepped aside decisively. This was not a matter of face. The fat man over 120 kilograms charged up and dunked...

The Lakers went from being able to play an offensive and defensive transition against the Trail Blazers to being able to play an offensive and defensive transition by the Trail Blazers.

8 to 2, the Trail Blazers lead extended to 6 points!
...

In this situation for the Lakers, normal coaches should call a timeout.

But Frank Hamblen didn't, he, panicked, didn't know what to do, so decided to do nothing.

On the court, Kobe looked at Atkins viciously. Atkins didn't dodge at all, but stared back at Kobe. No one went back to catch the serve.

But it doesn't matter, Odom received Butler's serve and advanced to the frontcourt.

Liu Xiu waited for a while, and Atkins pulled away, but Kobe and Atkins still didn't fight, which was a pity.

If I knew it earlier, I would add oil to the side, maybe it would really start a fight?
Kobe and Atkins pulled out to ask for the ball at the same time, Liu Xiu was disappointed again, Odom had no brain twitch, and lobbed the ball to Kobe.

Liu Xiu directly emptied Atkins and attacked Kobe.

Kobe made a tank breakthrough and went straight to the basket.

Kobe, who entered the basket, was surrounded by Liu Xiu, Raheem, and Kwame Brown, and he threw the ball out of nowhere.

Moreover, when the basket was barely visible when the shot was made, Kobe's throw was hollow!

Fairy Ball!
This ball seemed to see the shadow of God.

Facing a team with a winning percentage of less than [-]%, the Trail Blazers were not careless because they had Kobe Bryant.

When switching offense and defense, Liu Xiu and Payton said a few words when receiving the serve.

Peyton's eyes lit up, and he wanted to volunteer to take on such a task, which was what he was good at back then...but he still didn't open his mouth, and he had to admit that it was what he was good at back then...

Payton advanced halfway and did not continue to give the ball to Liu Xiu, and Randolph did not ask for a position in the low post, and passed the ball to Raheem on the right side of the three-second zone.

Raheem singled Butler, went straight to the basket and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand to score two points!
Kobe's fairy ball, Raheem dunks in response!

Kobe secretly shouted that it was a good time, let go of Liu Xiu and went in to receive the serve. He wanted to fight Raheem for 96 rounds, and let Raheem know who is the strongest in the [-]th class!
But Liu Xiu was unwilling to separate from Kobe like this, and took the initiative to press up on Kobe, sticking to Kobe, Liu Xiu pressed the whole court around the front to defend, and did not give Kobe a chance to receive the serve.

Except for Liu Xiu, Payton didn't retreat immediately, but Payton didn't interfere with Atkins receiving the serve, but helped Liu Xiu limit Kobe's receiving the ball.

Kobe:? ? ? ?
