Chapter 124 The Lonely Bravery of a Young Man

After the ball was scored, the Black Mamba put his right hand on his left shoulder and thumped hard.

Then he glanced at No. 13 of the Wolves. Now, can you imitate it?

Li Yu didn't respond to the chattering stare. He received a pass from his teammates and took the ball to the wing. However, he didn't hold the ball with both hands, but held the ball with one hand like Jordan and McGrady.

When Kobe saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched obviously. I'm afraid this kid didn't do it on purpose!
Observe, Li Yu made a hand-changing movement, and then copied Kobe's previous movement.

Feet apart, knees together, take off, tense, and send the ball back.

The right shoulder is in front of the left shoulder, the right arm is bent, and the left arm is stretched straight to rein in the ball. At the highest point, the right index finger sends the ball.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air, like a trailing meteor, rinsing into the net.

Kobe looked at the No. 3 pick of the Wolves, and he reproduced his signature shooting action almost perfectly, and waves surged in his heart.

This kid, did he watch my videotape, or did he watch my videotape?
He didn't believe that someone could imitate his signature moves nine times out of ten after watching them once in the arena. That's not a genius, it's a monstrosity!

But even after watching the videotape, this miraculous action surprised him.

Others say that I am Jordan's successor. Now, do I have a successor?
Kobe was taken aback by the sudden idea, no, I'm not old yet, what successor do I need!

He licked his lips and went into black mamba mode offensively, with nothing but the basket in his eyes.

In the next few rounds, Bryant controlled the ball for the Lakers until the end of the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 28:29. Speaking of which, the Wolves still led by one point.

When he was off the court, Bynum mumbled carefully: If you miss one shot and pass me a ball, we are ahead.

Fortunately, Kobe did not hear this sentence, otherwise he would use the most beautiful language to educate this little brother who has been restless recently.

In the TNT studio, Shark rubbed his headset and said, "This is the real Laker."

Buck blocked his earholes with two fingers, and said annoyedly, "Shaq, Shaq, can you stop rubbing the earphones?"

"Take care of me!" Big Shark was very arrogant, because at this time his mood was very comfortable.

The first quarter: Kobe hit 13 irons 7 times and scored 15 points.

And his little brother hit 6 goals in 3 shots, scored 12 points, and had 3 assists in hand.

Who is better, Shark has his own conclusion in his mind.

"Win this game and the Wolves will be No. [-] in the Western Conference, considering they were the last team last season.

And all these changes are due to the arrival of one person, I don't need to say more about anyone! "

Kenny Smith, who played as a guest DJ, is very adaptable to his role, taking advantage of the players' breaks to interact with the audience.

"In the face of Kobe's defense, he was able to hit 4 goals. Let me ask the 11th rookie who can do it."

"Facing the strong performance of the Wolves, what kind of adjustments the Lakers will make, let us wait quietly."

"If the Wolves want to win this game, they must find a way to restrain Kobe. The big devil alone can't prevent it. What kind of method will Coach Rick come up with?"

"There's nothing we can do about it." Barkley said mercilessly when he heard his old partner say hello.

Ashuai called the players together, encouraged him routinely, and then said, "Li, how did you feel when you were defending Kobe?"

"It's hard to defend, but I'll try my best."

When he said this, Li Yu was panting heavily. He felt that if he was allowed to keep defending Kobe, he might not have the physical strength to last until the fourth quarter.

A Shuai nodded, and then said: "I need you to participate more on the offensive end, so Ellington will defend Kobe in the second quarter."

If Li Yu puts it on the defensive end and consumes too much energy, the team's offensive firepower will be problematic in the second half, so A Shuai wants to use Ellington to defend Kobe and liberate the former.

Ellington is not the kind of player who is good at defense, but he is the best defensive player among the perimeter players that the team can use now.

A dead horse can only be used as a living horse doctor, so try it anyway.

Rubio had a question mark on his face. According to the coach's arrangement, wouldn't he have nothing to do in the second quarter? He just wanted to ask.

"In the first half of the second quarter, Ricky and Ellington are two partners in the backcourt, Milicic and Anthony, you two guard the inside, and Wesley is in the center to support."

The Lakers have also made adjustments. Coach Brown doesn't value this game very much, although the Wolves are now ranked second in the West.

But in Coach Brown's view, all this is only temporary, and the Wolves are just a pseudo-strong team, the reason why they have achieved such a record.

One is that the off-season is too long, and many players have not yet found their form. For example, Harden of the Thunder has not performed very well recently compared to last season.

Second, this season's schedule is too tight, which instead allows a young team like the Wolves to take advantage of it.

In order to protect Kobe and welcome the long and compact season, Coach Mike temporarily let him stay on the bench.

Beep~ The second quarter started. Rubio stood on the court and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no Kobe in the opposing lineup.

Although the boss said: Young people must have a lonely voice and bravely climb over the mountains.

But he wasn't ready to climb one of the league's few perilous peaks.

Kobe is not here, the old fish is not here, Rubio plays like a fish in water, can shoot suddenly and grab the board.

On the bench, looking at Rubio jumping up and down, Li Yu didn't smile or didn't smile: the development plan seemed to go astray.

After half a quarter of the game, Rubio scored 6 points, 2 assists and 4 rebounds. If you say he is a traditional guard or a small forward, people will believe him.

Rubio's excellent performance made Ashuai very satisfied. What the team's bench lineup lacks most is a guard to sort out the offense.

It may be a good choice to put Ricky on the bench, but in this way, there will be fewer point guards in the starting lineup.

Alas, lack of people, lack of guards, lack of pitchers, lack of wings, goddamn David - Kahn, so far still haven't got Beasley.

However, even though Rubio performed very well, the point difference did not widen, because the Lakers' Troy Murphy performed even better.

He made 4 of 3 shots, two of which were three-pointers, and scored 8 points.

Under Murphy's sudden outburst, the Wolves went from leading by 1 point to trailing by 2 points.

Seeing the starting lineup of the Lakers returning to the court one after another, Ashuai did not rush to make substitutions, but let the substitutes stay on the court.

He wanted to see how much the Wolves' substitutes weighed, and whether Ellington could keep up with Kobe.

Kobe returned to the court and saw that the opponent was still on the bench. Although he was inexplicably uncomfortable, he was not polite to the Wolves.

A wave of offense overwhelmed the Wolves' bench lineup. After only 3 rounds, the point difference came to 8 points.

The new defenders sent by the Wolves couldn't stop him at all, and the strike rate, which was raised by that kid, dropped instantly.

Sure enough, I can't prevent it, alas!A Shuai sighed: The current offensive firepower of the Wolves is not inferior to those strong teams. With Kevin Love, it is even more worthwhile to protect the rebounds.

It is the defense, which is far behind the top teams. Fortunately, in the regular season, in the playoffs, the intensity of the game will increase, and the team's existing defense will be demanded by the opposing superstar players.

Especially in the face of a team with strong forwards and inside players, the weak inside of the Wolves will be sieved.

The team needs a defensive core player to support the team's defensive system.

Seeing that the point difference was 10 points away, Ashuai had no choice but to bring the main force back to the field.

However, in the second half of the second quarter, Kobe also controlled the ball. Kobe, who was full of offensive firepower, was not stopped by everyone. Scoring points was as simple as cutting melons and vegetables.

Even if Li Yu used it, he must hit the open space in the last serve. He threw a super long three-pointer in the middle circle and scored two difficult goals, but he still failed to close the score.

The end of the first half: 51:42, the Wolves trailed by 9 points.
