I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 160 King Kobe Bryant

With McGrady and Dorsey on the line, the game entered a new stage.

In the previous Rockets, the Big Three were crowded on the strong side of the court, and the connection with the weak side was very weak.

After finally passing it several times, Alston and Scola could not guarantee to score the ball.

This further reduces McGrady's level of trust. He has always been less interested in passes that cannot be converted into direct assists.

In this way, the team fell into a vicious circle, and the Princeton system, which emphasized the moving of the ball, stagnated.

With the appearance of Dorsey, the mobility of the weak side and the ability to directly attack the basket have been greatly enhanced. It can be said that Dorsey is currently the best weak-side offensive player of the Rockets.

Before, due to the conflict with McGrady, Dorsey basically couldn't touch the ball.Now the two are finally connected successfully.

At 7 minutes and 15 seconds of the third quarter, McGrady once again made a wonderful pass after a breakthrough.

Bryant clings to McGrady's side, and Gasol is unknowingly drawn out.

However, Gasol is very careful, always pay attention to Tracy McGrady pass to Dorsey.

But McGrady didn't pass directly to Dorsey this time, but threw the ball into the air casually like a stroll in the garden, very freehand.

Just before Gasol realized what McGrady was going to do, Dorsey behind him jumped up, caught the ball in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket!

McGrady and Dorsey didn't need to be connected, but once connected, they had a tacit understanding and staged an alley-oop!

The pass was wonderful and the dunk was beautiful, which naturally caused Barkley in the studio to yell and talk nonsense.

Dorsey's buckle is also cool, since he separated from Ross, it's been a long time since he was able to take the air so comfortably!
Dorsey actually discovered it earlier. I don’t know if it’s because of the McGrady star card. He is very adaptable to McGrady’s passing lines and techniques. The running response perfectly fits the opponent’s pass!
What's more, as the ball hit the rim, Dorsey scored 10 points in the sports game, and the second task was completed early in the third quarter!And his personal score in this game also reached 16 points!
This is only the third quarter of the game. Is this to create a new high scoring rhythm after entering the NBA? !
Van Gundy commented: "McGrady's breakthrough has always been able to attract at least two defensive players from the Lakers, which also created many opportunities for teammates.

McGrady's height, wingspan and talent determine that he can become a master of passing organization.It can be said that he is the best passer among the four shooting guards!

In the future, as he grows older, he will inevitably make some changes in his style of play. I think it will be a good choice to transform into an organizer.

Next, it's time for Mayfair Jackson's headache. "

Sure enough, Lakers coach Phil Jackson made a move and replaced Odom again to defend Dorsey.

Using a star of Odom's level to mark a rookie in itself shows that the Lakers recognize Dorsey's performance.

"Hey, brat, your show time is over!" Odom spat trash talk at Dorsey as soon as he came up, in order to create psychological pressure on the other party.

"Hey, old color critic, don't get me wrong, my showtime has just started!" Dorsey retorted.

This time, Dorsey did not speak big words.

Dorsey was marked by Odom before. On the one hand, Odom was really active in defense and the mark was in place; but more because the back line couldn't pass the ball, McGrady was unwilling to pass, and others were unable to pass.

As a result, it is difficult for Dorsey, a clever woman, to cook without rice.

But now, the situation is different. McGrady started to pass the ball to himself, and I don't know if it is because of the star card. The cooperation between the two is very tacit, as if they have practiced together for many years.

In the next period of time, although Odom tried his best to mark, McGrady's pass could always find Dorsey accurately.

Sometimes the ball is passed directly into Dorsey's hands, sometimes it is given an advance amount, and Dorsey sprints to catch the ball to complete the fast break, and sometimes he just throws it into the sky, and Dorsey flies over.

In short, no matter how you pass, Dorsey can accurately appear on the line of the ball. McGrady and Dorsey are almost resonating at the same frequency.

Even McGrady himself was surprised, how did this Joey Dorsey cooperate with him so tacitly?Is it because I am really good at passing the ball?

And Dorsey's strong physical fitness brings a strong impact. As long as he gets the ball, he can form a direct threat to the basket.

Although it is not possible to score the ball every time, the way of directly attacking the basket determines that the shooting rate is very high, and every attack is very exciting and full of appreciation.

Adelman on the sidelines was grinning from ear to ear. Isn't this the beautiful basketball style he was looking for?

In the past, restricted by the characteristics of Yao Ming and Scola, the Rockets could only play slow positional warfare, but now the Rockets finally have an inside line that can run and fly, and the team's offense can finally speed up!

And McGrady, I read that right!If he wants to, he can become the best organizer in the league!
The Rockets played well during this period, but their opponent, the Lakers, still played well.

Although he was a bit confused by the Rockets' sudden weak-side offensive on defense, he was relentless on offense under the leadership of Kobe.

The two sides came and went, threw their arms and fought each other, and the fans of the City of Angels were mesmerized and hooked.

Fans of the Zijin Dynasty are very picky. Their first purpose of watching the game is not to see the home team win or lose, but to enjoy the excitement of show time (of course, the Lakers win every time anyway).

Now the Lakers are in the lead, and they are playing wonderfully, and the opponent is not a deadly fish who is at the mercy of others, and the counterattack is also quite sharp. How can people not love such a game.

And the root cause, everything seems to start with the appearance of the opponent's rookie rookie.Los Angeles fans love Joey Dorsey even more. Whenever he succeeds in dunking, the fans of the home team don't hesitate to applaud him.

In addition to his wonderful performance and good statistics, Dorsey also benefited a lot from his understanding of basketball.

I used to be next to Yao Mai, playing against opponents such as the Celtics Big Three, Nuo Tianwang, and Brandon Roy, I felt that I had seen the ceiling of basketball, but today I played against Kobe, and I really knew what basketball is today. peak.

Kobe, who has reached his thirties, is like a peerless master in martial arts novels, with a perfect fusion of internal and external skills, and the realm of his skills has reached the peak.

He can not only fly through the sky like a young Peter Pan, but also shoot super efficient cut jump shots like a veteran like Ray Allen. He is like a pinnacle on the court, and he can make his teammates feel at ease without doing anything. , Let the opponent be terrified.

More importantly, although he is getting older, he has always maintained an unyielding determination to win!

At 5 minutes and 49 seconds of the fourth quarter, Dorsey ushered in a highlight moment in the contest with Kobe.

Kobe broke through McGrady with the ball, and Ci Shiping stepped forward to help defend. Kobe was caught between the two stars and still forcibly flew to the layup.

But he didn't notice that Dorsey has been waiting for an opportunity like a leopard.Now he saw the timing, flew out suddenly, and blocked Kobe's layup with one palm!
He hated Kobe!
Bryant stared at Dorsey with eyes like a mamba snake, and smiled slightly, "Good job, rookie! But I will return it!"

Dorsey didn't retort this time, because he read the determination from the resolute eyes of the other party.

Sure enough, in the next attack, Kobe attacked with the ball and came specifically for Dorsey. He pulled the bar to the limit in the air, avoided Dorsey's block and scored a layup.

Half a minute later, Bryant took advantage of Gasol's screen to make an air cut, caught the ball in front of Dorsey and leaned back, and made another shot.

One minute later, the Lakers' offensive rotation took place. Kobe got a chance to play Dorsey in a misplaced single. He turned around in a low position, passed his opponent, scored a layup, and caused a foul by Dorsey at the same time, scoring 1+2!

This is Kobe, who is stronger when he meets him, once he is frustrated, he fights back three times!
King Kobe!
Amid the deafening "MVP" and the cheers of worshiping the king from the home audience, Kobe smiled and said to Dorsey:
"Rookie, although you are doing well, you still have a lot to learn in the NBA"

Dorsey did not remain silent this time, but responded with a smile: "I can't beat you this time, but it won't be necessarily the case in the future! Also, remember not to take a helicopter in the future, that thing is not safe!"

Kobe: "?"

With 4 minutes left in the game, Kobe was replaced because the game had entered garbage time.

Although Dorsey and Tracy McGrady teamed up in the second half to move back some points, but there were too many debts before, coupled with the inability to contain the Lakers' offense, so in the end it was inevitable to escape the fate of failure.

The final score was 96:107, and the Rockets lost by 11 points, but it was much better than the fiasco of 29 points in the previous life.

此役，科比砍下32分3篮板3助攻2抢断2盖帽的全面数据；麦迪得到23分11助攻4篮板。而多西则创下了本赛季个人得分记录，出场26分钟，拿下23分8篮板3盖帽。

However, Yao Ming and Ci Shiping were in poor condition, scoring only 12 and 8 points respectively.

At the end of the game, two commentators in the studio made a summary.

Barkley: "Anyway, it was a beautiful game. The Lakers and Kobe proved that they are the strongest team and star in the league."

Van Gundy still balabala summed up very comprehensively, but the last sentence is: "The Rockets have a lot of problems, but today they at least showed the courage to correct their mistakes, and let the outside world see hope!"
